TRADE OUTLOOK IS
VERY FAVORABLE
Approach of Easter Has Slim
ulated Spring Business
STRIKES NOT SERIOUS
While Labor Troubles Are Quietina
Down, CurtailmeBt In Cotton Goods
Trade Is Offering Bar to BUSH
ness in That Line

New York, March 25.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
The weeks developments have been
generally favorable. Chief among these
has been the advent of warm spring
weather which, coupled with the approach
of Easter, has stimulated retail trade at
all markets. allowed of expansion in
building trades, the preparation of the
ground in the north for planting, the
beginning of seeding of grain and cotton
at the south and of oats and vegetables
in the middle regions of the country.
The Industrial situation, too, has meas
urably improved in the collapse of the
sympathetic strike at Philadelphia, the
return to work of many thousands of idle
hands there. and the submitting of the
western railroad mems demands to ar
bitration. The situation is still not en-
tirely clear, however, as the demands
and relations between some large eastern
railroads and their employees are not en-
tirely settled. In addition, the tendency
toward curtailment in the cotton goods
trade is progressing, and there is said to
be 10 per cent OF the country's cotton
spindles idle. with more curtailments ex-
pected Many silk looms are idle, and
there are some leather workers.. stee
workers and paper mill hands still or
strike.
In wholesale trade features are the
slight improvement In jobbing trade re-
ported as a result of the picking up OF
recorder business in spring goods in the
west; the revision bleached and brown
cotton goods leading to some increase ir
business east and west; and the signs OF
Improvement In the foreign demand fol
cotton goods induced by attractive prices
Dry goods, millinery, light shoes and
spring wear generally show the best re-
suits of the warm weather, and the fer
tilizer manufacturers report good de-
mand for their products Price uncer'
tainties still tend to retard the develop
ment of distant trade. though a few mar
kets send good reports as to early trade
for all. Collections are irregular, and
range from slow to fair

nun,s Weeulx Review

New York, March 26.-R. u. Dun d
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Good weather stimulates a large dis
tribution of merchandise and reports
from the leading trade oenters and
particularly those in the west and
northwest speak of active markets in
most lines. The iron and steel trade
reports increased business, which Is es-
pecially noteworthy in finished mate
rails This gain is accompanied by a
| continued decline in prices for pig iron.
The 10 per cont revSsion In prices OF
bIea Oh ed cottons begun by jobbors has
extended to agents and better volume
of new business Is coming ward.
This revision brings quotations to
basis of cents for fruit of the loom
and So cents for Lonsdale and hills.
Revisions, unannounced are also being
made in various other lines, but 1t Is
too early for fall operations by job
bers or domestics. and hence there Is
uncer tainty as to what the final out
come of the revision will be, although
1t is now possible to do business at
lower quotations from chambrays, chey-
lots, wide sheetings, heavy brown sheet-
ings and fine cottons. Jobbers road
statesmen are booking substantial or
ders of fall cotton for retailers and
the latter doing q good Easter trade.
Stocks are not cumbersome. The OK
port trade on cotton goods for far east
ern shipments reached 2b.00c bales. Cur
tailment Of production in cotton, worst
ed and yarn mills Is being forced by
the unbalanced relations of finished
goods prices and the maintained price
of raw materials.
Business in footwear shows some I'M
provement, although contracts ssrt in
Ey statesmen on the road are not as
large as expected. In leather condi-
tions are more satisfactory and trade Is
increasing and, in some varieties a
slightly stronger tone Is manifest The
hide market shows marked strength
with especial iirmness In domestic

CATTLE-Receipts OF cattle this morning
were very liberal, AGO carloads being re-
ported in, which was a little smaller than
iast MONDAY. but about on par with most
weeks of recent date. The average quality
was not good, there being a very large ars
lively few good killers. A good many OF
the trains were late in arriving, SO that
early offerings on the market were disap-
pointingly small.
There were almost no corn-fed steers in
sight this morning and not very many
In TACT the supply of beef steers OF de-
sIrable quality was the smallest that II has
been on Monday in long time. While
the demand was not more urgent than
usual the supply was SO small that deslr-
able kinds were generally steady IN spite
of the fact that advices from other market
points ali Indicated large receipts and a
lower tendency OF prices.
There was a fair showing Of cows and
heifers, but the early offerings were very
moderate and the market started out with
fair demand and with prices generally
steady all around.
in very active demand and the market on
desirable kinds of cattle Of that deserip-
ton was active and strong. Heavy. feed
ers were not overly active, but the feeling
on that kind was about steady. The in
fertor and trashy kinds of cattle were nat
urally slow owing to the backward demand
for that kind.
Late trains brought in a larger supply
OF beef steers, with the result that the
late market on killers was slow to 100
lower in sympathy with unfavorable ad-
vices from other selling points. Other kinds
of cattle continued about steady to the
close.

NEW YORK, oct. 2-The stock market

signs of a re-entiy Of operators OF larger

Steel was regarded as suggestive in this
direction.
The appearance OF growing breadth which

altered as the day progressed, and the con-
centration In United States Steel, Reading
and Union Pacific became more pronounced.
Prices were not well held In the latter part
of the day and the closing was rather weak.
The first quotation for call loans was at

figure quieted any apprehension that was

this morning was little different in point OF
activity from opening markets on most of
the big days last week. Receipts were
large, but late trains and wet fleeces ad-
ded TO the usual delay caused by sorting
gave the market a rather quiet Appearance
All of the main alleys were frequented
by feeder buyers, however and inquiries
for stock to take back into the country
were keen from all quarters. Fully IS per
cent of total offerings consisted of strings
hardly suitable for killing purposes, but In
spite of this fact outlet seemed to be easily
adequate. Fleshy grades OF feeder sheep
and lambs, the latter especially, sold more
readily than common kinds and commanded
fully steady prices as rule. Inferior stuff
while still very uncertain, moved in much
the same spreads quoted at last weeks
close. Clearance in this branch of the
trade was late, Of course, as a lot of light
lately and more or less dickering is re-
quired TO arrive at a trading basis
Good fat sheep and lambs were none too
plentiful, top sorts from feeder strings
making up the bulk of supply. Firm prices
were offered for anything that would dress
was possibly a shade higher As compared
with eastern points local values look very
high The usual spread between South
Omaha and Chicago levels, due to added
cost of the longer haul, has practically
vanished.
