R. c. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
o. Chicago Trade says:
Easter trade in the principal
branches of distribution equals SAN
guine expectations. A high volume OF
payments through the banks is sus-
tanned and the trading defaults fur
nish favorable comparison with pre-
vious years. Buying in the leading re-
tail lines rose to new high proportions
during the week, and business gener-
ally reflects the quickening derived
from the advent Of spring and the re-
markably fine weather which prevails
here and throughout the West.
New building and heavy construc-
ton are vigorously advanced, and
there are notable additions to workers
employed at the mills and factories.
Activi = among the industries and in
transpCitatio now compares satisfac-
tcrily with the best previous times,
while the improving position draws
strength for the future from the wider
range of new demands for finished
products.
Earnings of the Chicago steam
roads surpass all former gross records
for this season of the year, and threat
ened difficulties with workers are re-
moved by higher wage concessions.
Offerings of commercial paper have
increased, and the discount rate rose
to Az per cent for choice names.
Bank cleaings, s2S0.465.o77. exceed
those of the corresponding week in 1909
by 12.7 per cent and compare with
s222, 409,514 in 1908. Failures reported
in the Chicago district numbered "a. as
against 20 last week. "a in 1909 and 80
in 1905. Those with liabilities over
$4,000 number 10, as against 2 last
week, in 1909 and II in 1905"
