n. G. Dun and Company's Weekly Re- view of Trade.
 New York March 6-R. c. Dun's and Company weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 Favorable symptoms are more mum erous in the commercial outlook, especially i'm respect to the growth Of confidence. .Jobbers note more pres sure to replenish depleted stocks Of staple merchandise, orders in many eases being for delivery next fall The advancing season has also com celerating the distribution of spring goods and stimulating interest in the building trade. Industrial plants are more active, pig iron production rising to the best weekly average in three months. Credits are still closely scan ned and mercantile collections are by no means satisfactory, yet payments are more prompt and the volume of business is distinctly heavier. There iS a suggestion of permanence of the steady improvement in the steel and iron industry that would be lacking were 1t more sensational Each week brings few more mills and furnaces into the active list while specified tions on old contracts constantly call for a larger tonnage. New business appears in many departments. warmer weather being especially helpful in re- storing proposed building operations that will call for much structural steel. -sf
 Dry goods jobbers have done more business than expected, but thus far there is little improvement in the primary market and few mills have resumed activity. Jobbers will not begin operations as early as usual. so that sales will be closer to actual re- tail distribution and the seasons aR- Gregate business will be much less speculative than in any recent year. Contracts extending well into the sum mer have been placed for sheetinRs and inquiries from the bag trade promise good movement of old con structions.
 Many buyers have left the woolen market after placing moderate orders and liberal supplementary contracts will be needed to make up a normal aggregate. s#
 Production of foot wear at New Eng land factories is still much curtaiIed. Idle plants not yet having received sufficent fall business to warrant the starting of the machinery. Quotatfons are hominally unchanged.
 Upper stock of the better grades of leather still receives most attention although there are indications of 2 tendency to transfer interest to the ! cheaper descriptions p.4
