Dun and Bradstreet Express Hopeful Feeling in
All Lines of Commerce and Industry.

New York. March u.-R. g. Dun & Co. s
weekly report of trade tomorrow will say;
This Is period of the year. eircum-
stances permitting. a hopeful feeling gem
orally prevails. and. therefore. as the
spring season makes its appearance, with
weather conditions less severe, It is not
surprising that the volume of trade in
ereases and thus confidence improves.
Nearly every report from the large trade
centers is of transactions well above last
year. and of a bright outlook for the new
season. Financial conditions are also
much stronger and altogether a better
sentiment prevails.
The continued large bank clearings
cannot be explained except on the basis
of satisfactory volume OF trade and the
record of clearings is confirmed by that
of railroad earnings. The former gained
1875 per cent over 1909 and PA per cent
over 1906. outside of New York. and In

New York, March u.-Bradstreets re-
view OF the state Of trade tomorrow will
say:
Trade reports continue TO display
certain degree of irregularity. a tendency
particularly noticeable in the East. parts
of the North by South, and in scattered
sections OF the West. Yet. on balance.
trade at majority Of points is probably
better than it was last week. the South
as a whole reporting Improvement. the
Northwest showing up In good shape. the
far West good. with the Southwest salts
factory. though house sales there are
lighter. while latest. except Ohio and
parts OF Iowa. reports progress.
More favorable weather conditions ap-
pear TO be the chief influence making for
improvement, but on the other hand the
poor condition Of country roads tends TO
deter anything ike a free movement
High prices Of manufactured goods and
uncertainty as to their permanence are
the principal barriers against expansion
in trade, but, as the situation stands,
manufacturers find 1t difficult to reduce
prices on a large scale. because raw ma
terials are so high and because present
profits are not normally remunerative
Summed up, the turnover Is larger
than 1t was last year, but the point is
that trade does not measure up to ant.ci-
pations, which were keyed up to a high
point"
