Dun's Weekly Review

New York. April SIR. G. Dunn & Co., weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 The business situation continues to dis play sharp contrasts. Dullness in the financial markets contrasts with an ac- tive industrial output. An unsatisfactory foreign trade contrasts with large domes- tic exchanges as reflected in the heavy bank clearings and net earnings. Weak ness in pig iron contrasts with a big pro- duction in finished steel A moderate trade movement In the ca st contrasts with a record volume of business in cer- tain parts of the west. The weeks re- ports are therefore very irregular and make it difficult to sum up the situation in any one phrase sufficiently broad to define adequately the state of trade in the nation as whole. Political condi- tions at home and abroad are still held responsible for the reaction in financial markets But the country continues to carry on an immense volume of business and thief urther effects of the outlook is witnessed In financial centers. Finished steel. because of the increasing capacity in structural lines shows bookings for the first quarter exceeding all previous rec ords for that period with two excep- tions. It is In pig iron that least satis- factory results are obtained and consum- CTS are presenting a waiting attitude and prices snow some further weakness. De- mand for wire goods is expected to broaden with the advancing season and prospects indicate good volume of bus l mess will be placed.
 The primary dry goods markets are l quiet. Recovery is noted in standard | beached and wide sheetings from the | low point. Exports of cotton goods show decided gain in the Philippine trade
 since the enactment of the new tariff reg
 ualtions, 20.000,000 yards having been
 shipped during the eight months ending | february against 6,000.000 yards in the
 two previous years. Curtailment in cot ton mills is becoming widespread and de
 mand for worsteds in mems wear is SC | light that many looms are idle Jobbers

 Trade in foot wear improves gradually | and is much better than six weeks ago Some lines of leather principally thos' | for other than shoe purposes are stil | quiet, but on shoe feathers the marke shows increased activity and a stronger tone.

|RREGULARITY IN
 TRADE REPORTS Some Parts of the Country Are Dull and Others Active IRON AND STEEL QUIET CurtaiIment of Cotton Goods Produc- ton Is Still in Evidence and Col Iections Generally Range From
 Slow to Fair
IRON AND STEEL QUIET

New York. April S.-Bradstreet's to-
 morrow will say:
 | Trade and crop reports still betray
 irregularity. In the northwest, on the
 Pacific coast, and in Texas, where
 needed rains have fallen, trade and
 crop reports are alike good. 1D the southwest, the central west, parts of
 the south and on the upper Atlantic coast, there is conservatism in buying verging upon caution, and there is more evidence of the repression exercised upon trade movements by crop uncer- tainty or by the high level of prices discourag ging buying except for abso- lute current needs.
 In the industries reports vary. Iron and steel except structural material are rather quieter. production is not so heavy and resales of earlier pur- chases caused some weakness in prices of the cruder forms. In the textile trades conservatism in buying, or ina bility to make high raw material costs and manufactured goods prices accord has made for disappointing trade Curtailment of cotton goods production is still in evidence and slow trade in worsteds is reflected in lower prices for raw wool at eastern markets. Re- ports of collections show that pay. ments are nowhere better han fair and are slow at many centers. Business failures in the United States for the week ending April were 24O against 229 last week, 227 in the like week of 1909. 25S in 1908. .94 in 1907, and 121 in 1906
 Wheat, including flour exports, from the United States and Canada for the week ending April : aggregate 1,777,- eS6 bushelS against 1,744,27C last week and 1.061,244 last year. For the 40 weeks ending April : exports are IT, 046,660 bushels against 146,576,699 in the corresponding period last year. Corn exports for the week are 635,- SPA bushels against 1,0s5,351 last week and 92e,s9S in 1909.
 For the 40 weeks ending April corn exports are 23.37o.47S bushels against 25, ,74S,95S last year.

for purpose of consolidation. The old man
hunted I'D one of these railroad buyers
Then he began campaign OF education
He showed the amount OF tonnage the road
had carried in the past: sand and gravel
chiefly. but that was not emphasized Then
he displayed a map OF the country, and
showed what an important link this tive
miles of road might prove in time II two
rival systems extended their trunk lines.
Well he was a ready talker, good sales
man. and he was working last desperate
game to retrieve his fortunes. The big rail-
road buyer listened patiently, studied the
receipts, examined the charter, and finally
said:
iii take YOUR railroad Just as it is for a
hundred thousand.
The president of the old sand and gravel
company was so surprised at this offer that
he nearly lost the deal by getting confused
and ratified; but he gathered his wits. and
within a few days the deal was effected
Then he went home happy and I--bllant. and
not very favorably impressed by Wall
Streets shrewdneSs He had beaten one of
the leaders of the street at his own game, and
his conscience did not trouble him
But few years later he lost good deal of
his enthusiasm over his astuteness. The
trunk line of one of the systems was ex-
tended, and the little five miles of narrow
gage road became the key to q remarkable
situation. Without this right of way the big
railroad would have been blocked IN reach
ing tide water at one of the most important
points. The query now IN the old man 5
mind is. as he looks at the double track of
standard rails that long ago replaced his old
narrow gage. Did the railroad buyer fore
see coming events and shrewdly pick up a
bargain on his own terrnS?"
