New York. Jan 22.-R. c. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row Will say: Developments III trade
is along conservative lines. Larger
pay rolls in manufacturing ccnters
naturally help retail distribution but
this IS still much restricted, though
underlying conditions are firmly
maintained because of reduced stocks
in retailers hands. In the South
trade in wholesale lines is consider
ably below normal and fun resump-
ton is not yet in sight The move
ment Of cotton continues large and
prices are firmly maintained. In the
West factories in important industries
are still operating short of fun capac-
ity, but additional help is constantly
employed, enlarging the output very
gradually.
Quiet conditions still prevail in iron
and steel and no transactions of inn
portanCe are noted.

From this table it is seen that only

States. In potatoes the yield OF the

cases of corn. tobacco. wheat and oats
the yields are very much behind. 1t
will he noted. however. that the
prices realized in this State are higher
than the average for other States, and
that this State deVotcs much of her
acreage to the two high priced crops
of cotton and tobacco. These facts
lead us to expect what IS true, that
the money value of the crops grown
on an acre of North Carolina soil eX-
ceeds the average for the other States.
These figures are s17.29 per acre for
North Carolina and $14.94 per acre
for the average of the other States.
AS the final test is the financial one,
we are afe in concluding that in com
parSon with other States we are not
suffering from unproductivity or in
ferior cultivation of our acres.
The Census Report shows that
North Carolina applies 20 cents worth
of fertilizers to the acre and the na-
ton 7 cents. We cannot be charg sIl
