Something New for Birmingham

In the millinery line there opens today at 1908 Third avenue a distinct novelty in retailing. That immense structure is to be given up to offering replicas of the most exquisite Parisian creations for prices which seem indeed absurd when one recalls what woman has to pay these days for an Easter bonnet. The Pa risian Millinery company, this new con- cern. has taken all the poetry out of the profits of millinery selling but left it in the creations"
 But this they want to say: Do not ex- pect to find all of this great big place fixed up as 1t will be a little later But they are indeed ready-waiting to sur prise and delight you at the opening to- day. t++

Dun,s Weekly Review

New York. March AR. G. Dun & Co s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 With a somewhat severe winter draw Ing to a close and with the subsistence of excitement in the financial markets, the industrial and trade situation shows improvement. and the outlook for the spring season Is promising. It Is an easy matter. of course. to pick flaws in the situation. certain aspects of which are unfavorable. Among these may be mentioned the decreasing excess of ex- ports over imports, the balance of trade in favor sof-this country daring the cur rent fiscal year Bein sfhe Smallest since 1896. and but fo onsth eZforeieR purchases of smeriesn securities | tfrfng he present decline there would probably be heavy exports of gold.
 Then the bond market is unfavorable for large flotations and this retards ex- tensive works of construction. The Phiia- delphia strike is an ugly development hurting trade in that city and injuring sentiment elsewhere.
 The heavy liabilities of defaulting con- cerns during February due, however chiefly to four very large failures, is not . pleasing incident
 A slight tendency to a reduction in building operations is to be noted. There is also considerable disposition to wait for congressional legislation and court decisions before entering upon large bus iness commitments.
 But in spite of all those things the fact remains that big volume of business, at least, closely approximating normal, Is being carried on.
 Prospects of an active business in iron and steel multiply. It is true that the recent improvement in the trade has been largely sentimental but 1t Is believed that aauaYaI npdarfa kiDOq rxytl1 ha fnaugurated with the advent of open weather. especially in structural lines

 Four-yard brown sheetings are now quoted at eA cents. Somewhat similar developments are noted in wooen and owrsted mills. Strong and weak features alternate in the day-to-day trading and there is no lack of confidence in the be- lief that underlying financial and trade conditions are sound.

of the Announcement That Many Mills VIII Cu-tail Production. Trade Best in Northwest

New York. March 4.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Trade Is still irregular and spring trade is rather backward in developing at many points. Weather conditions, flooded streams and bad country roads are va riously assigned as reasons for the hesi- tation shown in various lines, but back of all these there Is an undeniable feeling of conservatism, bred of the uncertainty re- garding the reception to be given higher priced products by the ultimate consumer. Recorder trade in spring goods by jobbers is not especially large, and business at first hand is held back pending clearer views of price matters and crop pros- pects Collections are widely quoted as glow, and few are better than fair.
 Cotton prices have advanced in specula- tive centers, while at the same time re- ports of mills going on short time have been numerous and print cloths have de- clined In price. The recent advance in wash fabrics does not seem to have brought out the business expected and the wool and woolen goods markets have shown a waiting tendency Settled spring weather is expected to have a beneficial effect upon general distribution, coupled as it is with an earlier than ordinary
