THE STATE or TRADE.


Bre1st-eet'r summary of trade con

Trade and industry remain quiet to
dun. with, on the whole, rather less
doing than 10 the week preceding.
Unseasonably cool weather with
frosts. rains or snow north, east and
west and excessive moisture at the
south, have made for quiet in retail
lines and retarded crop growth or pre-
paratlon to some extent. Growing
grain has not been unfayorably affect

seeding has been completed on a rec

fruit and vegetable growth, and until
near the close OF the week cotton
planting and crop cultivation have
been likewise interfered with. Reor-
der business At wholesale and with
jobberA in wearing apparel and spring
goods generally has been checked by
backward retail demand, while future
sales are affected by crop and tariff
uncertainties. Lowered prices for
manufactured goods. especially tex.
tiles, have evoked some response, but
not enough To remove the impression
that stocks in final distributors hands
are stiIl larger than was anticipated
for this stage OF the season. Industry
has been rather quleter, notably in
this respect being building, partly be-
cause Of less activity in this line and
partly because Of sporadic strikes, Of
