THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The weekly trade reviews are inore en-
couraging than in previous weeks OF the
year They report business still backward
IN the South but elsewhere record an i'm
provement which though not rapid is
healthy. Bradstreet's says:
Trade Is expanding slowly but steadily,
wholesale and jobbins lines noting some
good orders for mediate delivery and
rather more CONFIDENCE in placing orders
for spring Conservatism IS, however,
noted In many sections. and some markets
report feeling OF disappointment az the
rate OF progress making. Best reports
come from the leading dry goods centres
OF the East, where demand for cotton
goods is improving and preparations for
spring are evident in improved demand
west and South for fertilizers, seeds. ag-
rlcultural implements and kindred lines.
Duns coments on the conservative
character of the buying for future de-
livery but considers this an element OF
stability. II says:
Development in trade Is along conser-
vative lines. Larger payroiis in manufac-
turing centres naturally help retail distri-
button but this is stil much restricted.
NHNA-Al AAlaNAAa Ills NNilAlAtNAlH are lAlltN
maintained because Of reduced stocks in
retailers hands. Early reports from sales
men now on the road indicate IN some
lines a continuation Of conservative buy
ing. which win tend TO strengthen the
situation when the return to normal con-
ditions is reached. The prospect of a
change I'm the customs revenue laws nat
urally curtails operations in a number OF
important industries. and many enter
prises that would add materially to the
volume Of business are held in check un-
til there Is definite knowledge regard
ing the provisions OF these laws.
Print cloth lines at FIRST hands in New
England continue active and there is
prospect OF steady employment i'm ma

market Is strengthened by the advance
