MeekIr Trade Reyiem

NEW YORK. May 2l.-Bradstreet's tomorrow
will say: Weather conditions continue irregu-
lar hut change for the better has occurred
IN staple conditions and retail business is
showing evidence of the repression heretofore
evident. Recorded business from jobbers and
wholesalers has been rather quiet but there is.
If anythng, q more assured optimism permeat-
ing the reports TO the outlook FOR next fall
and winter trade.
''Cold wet weather has interfered with bust
ness in parts of New England aud trade seems
slow TO improve IN San Francisco and in parts
Of the Pacific northwest.
Business failures in the United States for
the week were 2l9. against 224 last week 2s4
IN the Ike week OF 1908. lG5 in 1907 10 in
1905 and i79 in 1905.
Canadian failures for the week were %
against 80 last week and 80 in the same week
last year"
r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade to-
morrow viii say: Almost every development
except the lengthenng debate ON the tariff is
favorable and the gains made in spite of the
tariff disturbance are fair indication OF what
may be expected when that is out of the way
THE reports OF the railroads are of steadily
increasing business and the latest earnings
decrease. as compared with 1907, being u s
per cent.
I'm wooden goods duplicate business on
heavy weights has been fairly satisfactory and
a further Improvement is anticipated as
clothiers now know the general trend of de-
mand.
.sThe slight improvement in shoe conditions
stin continues and business shows an Increase
in nearly all lines. Large New England manu-
facturers expect that the footwear market will
soon be restored to its normal position. Prices
have again advanced. The Chicago hide marker
has ruled considerably less active since tile In
erai buying of last week and country hides arc
steady. California skins are strong.''

NO ANIMATION TN
STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, Nay 21.-Dealings in
stocks shrank to a small proportion of the
recent daily average. The action of the
market proved puzzling to the professional
trade element. Subsistence of demand on
an advance of prices is construed usually
as unfavorable 20 the stability of the rise.
The professional operators, setting on this
principle, sold stocks short when the mar
ket turned dull and tried to force reac-
ton. Prices did not respond, but showed
a resistance without any increase in the
animation.
The persistent rise in United States steel
was the mainstay of the advance. The
sentimental effect of the further advance
in that stock to above 60 was sufficient
to dominate the whole list Late in the
afternoon the dealings sank TO state of
stagnation.
Reports of the breaking of the drought
in Texas were received with satisfaction,
as grave fears have been entertained of
great harm. There was help for the spec
ulation in the copper stocks in the ad-
vance in the dividend rate by the Calu-
met and Eecla mining company, as it
was construed as an 4AoASNtAVA Va A4AAS4Of-
ing conditions in the trade.
The weeks shipment of gold will run

Gent, together with the Sl,551,0 600 from
subtreasury operations, to overbalanoe the

steady.
