CHICAGO.

r. G. Dun & Co. s Weekly Review Of
Chicago trade says:
Some irregularity in operations is
due to the holiday this week, severe
storms in the west and hindrances to
transportation, but there is sustained
activity among the heavy producers
and easier monetary conditions are re-
Elected by increasing bank deposits
and lower record of trading defaults,
the latter indicating an improved po-
sition of credits over recent reports.
Prospects of better weather bring
relief after the long winter to various
interests and new demands in manu-
featuring and distribution become
more varied. although the develop
ments include none of striking import
ance as TO contracts for future exeeu-
ton.
Price tendencies for factory sup
plies to some extent are seen to be
easier, and this encourages more at
tention to plans for construction and
railroad needs. There Is, however,
some conservatism where large finan-
clal commitments are involved and a
more pronounced disposition to econo-
mlze costs of production. Outputs of
factories in the Chicago district stead
+ lly rise and this causes notable for
warding and an ample movement of
raw and finished products.
Bank clearings, S255,SS1 ,1e6, are
80 per cent over those of the CORE
spending week in 1909 and compare
with $259,16S,343 in 1908.
