REVIEW OF TRADE CONDITIONS
Reports from the Principal Cities in
the United States Are Of a Gen.
eraI Hopeful Character.

New York, Mar 20-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade says:
Most OF the tests by which trade ac-
tivity is measured make favorable
records. Reports from the principal
cities are Of generally hopeful char
acter, but the fact remains that there
is still lacking that buoyancy and
readiness TO make long commitments
from unsettling uncertainties.
The week has Witnessed the intro
ductlon of a tariff bill making large
cuts in duties on iron and steel and
other products, but apparently less is
apprehended from this than from a
possible failure of congress to heed
the words Of President Taft and get
through with the tariff business as
soon as possible The coal trade Is
confronted with a labor crisis. The
iron trade continues in the process of
price readjustment, though a slow re-
vival in structural lines is a reflection
of increased activity in building. Cop
per has experienced further depres-
sion.
Much the more important feature of
The week in cotton goods has been the
resumption Of export demand.

pany Of 500 followers of Mr.. Bryan

ganized in his interest. Many mem
bers of the legislature attended.
Mr.. Bryan's address was devoted
largely to the work of the Nebraska
legislature which he congratulated for
its earnest desire TO carry out the
platform pledges OF the Democratic
party. For 18 years, he said, he had
been doing what he could to secure
the election OF United States sena-
tors by direct vote of the people, and
Nebraska had followed closely in the
footsteps Of oregon in making this
possible as nearly as the federal laws
will permit.
