WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Cold and Rain Causes Backward Season ana
Restricted Retail Trade for Easter

New York, April 21.-Dun's weekly re-
say:
Business continues to move slowly, its
volume, though large. being much below
producing capacity and displaying a lack
Of interest and vigor. The accommodating
deposits and reserves Of the banks are
one of the results of the general trade
recession, but they impart strength to the
banks, and will enable them readily to
finance the forward movement of enter
prise whenever it sets in.
Winter wheat conditions are especially
satisfactory. Iron and steel production is
declining both in pig and finished ma
! terial In dry goods. while there is an
entire absence of any buoyancy, and cur
tailment of production continues.
THE shoe market shows some better
ment in demand, and an increase in con-
fidence, but hides and leather are very
slow. Reports from the leading trade
centers give special emphasis to the re-
tarding effect upon immediate business OF
the backward spring, a condition which
is, Of course, of temporary duration.
Bank clearings outside New York this
week are 6.3 per cent under 1910, but in
New York there was a falling off Of 1856
per cent. Railroad earnings in two weeks
Of April increased O.5 per cent. Exports
continue to grow and imports to decrease
the record for New York during the latest
week being 81. s46 exports, a gain of
s945, 379 over 1910. and 1916, 12s over 1909
and s15,52s.253 imports. a decrease Of
s., $50, 66i from, 1910 and Of A.l09.657 from
1909
Commercial failures this week In the
United States. as reported by r. G. Dun
& Co, are 263, against 2i2 last week, 235
the preceding week. and 224 the CORE
spending week last year.

New York. April N.-Bradstreet's re-
port. April %, will say:
Trade and industry are quiet to dull,
reports varying with sections and lines
reporting. For this. weather, crop. and
tariff uncertainties are held variously
responsible. The season as a whole has
been cold and backward, with too much
rain in several sections, notably parts
of the West the South, and the East.
This has restricted retail trade, which
as a whole is disappointing for this sea-
son Of the year. Easter trade, except in
a few sections. has been hardly up to
normal or to expectations.
THE fruit crop outlook promises well,
chiefly because there has been no false
statements, and there is less probability
of q backset, such as occurred last year
about this time. Industry is quiet. wait
ing upon demand, which Is cautious to
the limit Of conversation.
Dizziness in trade and speculation is
reflected in large supplies and low rates
for money. Securities and commodities
are alike dull. with a paucity of specu-
lation in leading farm products. Com
modify prices show a tendency TO steady.
though Canadian reciprocity does not
tend to unsettle trade in farm produce.
Trade in iron and steel is quieter. and
demand for pig iron as we'll as for
finished material has receded Moreover.
some price irregularities are in evidence,
and production of pig iron has fallen of
from the rate established in March
Building is irregularly active. The wool
trade is quiet, the new crop moving
slowly, and much wool will be consigned
instead of sold outright in producing
regions. Short time is still feature in
cotton goods productions.
Business failures for the week end
ing April 20 were 233, against 233 last
week. and 1873 in the like week of 1910"

Wolf Plays With Children.

New York, May "a. A big gray
wolf escaped from a private me-
nagerie at Sheepshead Bay last
night and two keepers. assisted by
the police, searched for an hour be-
fore they found the animal playing
quietly with a group of little chill
dren in a yard near the water front.
The children, believing the wolf
to be a new kind of dog, had made
friends with him at once when he
approached.
The wolf did not discourage the
advances of the children and kept
his temper, even when the young
sters clouted him with sticks and
pulled his ears and forced him to
eat crackers and candy.

A Lion That Was Invited to Dinner.
In the June McClure's there is a
second article by Ellen Velvin on
Critical Moments with Wild Ami
mails" In this paper Miss Velvin
speaks of the individual characters
tics of different animals, and tells
stories to illustrate. One of her
"reminiscences is of twin lion cubs.
one of whom, Dewey by name, is
surly and treacherous; his brother
Schley, on the contrary, may be in
vited to dinner with impunity.
When the proprietor gave a press
dinner, at the end of the meal Schley
was allowed to walk into the dining
room, which he did in his usual Sc
date and placid manner. He look
ed around, actually got on the
table, shifted the bottles and a
cigar, and then quietly got down
and walked out again. There were
many clever men and brave ones
at the dinner, but no man there
was ashamed to admit afterward
that he felt a little easier in his
mind when the late arrival had left
the room"
