WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Dun and BradStreet See Improved Conditions as
Season Advances

New York May 13.-R. @. Dun & Co. s
weekly review Of trade tomorrow viii
say;
Crop conditions improve as the season
advances. The crops are always vital to
prosperity. and. although, it is believed
that the United States is now entering
upon state Of transition from an agrl-
cultural TO an Industrial country. vet THIS
development has not so far progressed
that good. normal crops are not necessary
for continuance Of business activity and
confidence. Especially is this the fact this
year.
Meanwhile financial conditions, tempo
rarily disturbed by the unhappy death OF
King Edward. at time CT political crisis
IN England are improving. and the more
optimistic view that showed itself last
week is growing in intensity.
SHOES are quiet. although shipments
are increasing. Bank clearings in New
York fall slightly behind those Of cor
responding periods in 1900 and 1906. but
gains continue outside OF New York. 7g
per cent greater than a year ago. and
2lS per cent over 1896. and this empha-
sizes the difference In business conditions
and business sentiment
Commercial failures this week in the
United States are 2i6 against 300 last
week. 900 the preceding week and 234
the corresponding week last year Fail
ures in Canada number II. against Is last
week, Is the preceding week. and 80 last
year.

New York May 13-Bradstreets re-
view Of the state OF trade tomorrow viii
say:
Trade is quiet. as a whole, unfavor-
able weather. the indefinite crop out
look. and uncertainty as to prices OF
merchandise all tending 10 retard dis
tributive demand. both at wholesale and
retail On the other hand. the feeling in
financial circles is rather more cheerful.
large sales Of securities abroad tending 20
correct continued unfavorable features in
the foreign trade and exchange situa-
lions
Taken as whole. the optimistic feel
ing underlying the general situation seems
more in evidence at Eastern financial
.centers than at Western distributive mar
kejs. The weather has been cool and
generally wet in the great central sec
lions and thence eastward to the coast
In the Northwest. where temnera-
lures have been far below freezing. the
crop progress has been retarded. In the
central regions corn planting. though re-
tarded, has made some progress. and
winter wheat has. on the whole been
benefited.
Trade reports from the West note a
quiet to fair trade AT retail. while jobblng
business has been largely confined 10
hli-in orders. and fall trade IS reported
backward though perhaps equal TO a
year ago at this date Except in the
Lower Mississippi Valley. Southern trade
reports are Of fair 10 good trade for the
season Of the year"
