Dun's Review

New York. February 17.-R G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomor- row will say;
 Every important development of the week has served to confirm and strengthen the recent growth in bus mess confidence. With depleted stocks, merchants, while still. conservative in their operations. are displaying great CT activity.
 Some definite idea of the improve ment that has occurred In iron and steel Is furnished by current estimates indicating an expansion of nearly 15 per cent in the blast furnace opera low point of the year and by the re- cent statement of the same interests showing an increase of 436.000 tons in untitled orders on hand during the month of January.
 Aside from 8 further broadening of activity in finished lines 1t is signifi- cant that greater animation has de- veloped in pig iron at certain leading centers and the belief is growing that the declining tendency in prices has settled permanently. In some instances advances of from 25 to 50 cents are being asked and furnaces are reluctant to quote for distant delivery owing to the conviction that q substantial re- covery will ultimately occur. Agricul- tuTdI iidCuinCiy htClcbtS nave DctH active buyers at the west but demand for rails has been light this month. which is not surprising in view of tho large contracts recently placed. Some plate mills are reported as operating at 75 per cent of capacity while the volume of new structural orders Is well sustained
 Purchases in both primary and sec ondary dry goous markets are now more frequent and comprehensive. Stocks in all quarters are believed to be low. but mills find 1t so difficult to get producing costs that they are linn iting their output to orders and in- creasing curtailment, especially in cot ton goods lines. Some silk mills are exceedingly busy. Jobbers report 8 good trade in wash fabrics. ginghams, prints and domestics.
 The footwear market continues gener- ally quiet and yet the expected revival of business following the departure oi buyers from the Boston market has failed to develop to any great extent the demand being irregular. Producers of specialties, particularly cloth fabric goods. continue in receipt of steady or ders while standard lines are general ly neglected. The new discounts In the leather trade have restricted trade ma : terially, especially in sole leather where they have been put into opera ton to the greatest extent.

 Retail trade has been hampered by warm weather in the south, southwest and west, while sncwstorms in the east and northwest have deterred dstribu- tion, thus negativing the designed effect of clearance sales. Wholesale trade has improved little at the southwest-more cheerful there, indeed, than for a long backward and buyers who are now visit ing the central markets are purchasing | conservatively. This attitude, especially as applied to textiles, is probably engen- dered by the unsettling influences ere | ated by the recent sharp declines in raw | cotton, while the prospects of q late opening of the spring season Is also a lettering effect.
 In the iron and steel markets the gen. eral tendency signifed gradual but sub stantial betterment. Improvement is noted in orders for and specifications on finished goods. The price undertone is hrmer, though 1t is probable that very low prices

 Such lines as farm machinery, imple- n.ents, seeds and fertilizers are very &C., tive, which suggested early farm work ard probably more intensive cultivation, if not increased crop areas. Open, spring like weather has favored building oper- ations, which tend to become more ac- tive.
