c0NnITInNS OF TRADE.

Commenting on general trade con-
dltions. Duns Review says:
improvement I'm business sentiment
still holds. but n Is more manifest in
the East than in the West, and in the
securities market than in the princi-
pal industries There is. however, 10
be noted some expansion in the de-
mand for cotton goods. retail trade in
particular showing more activity, and
the hope Is expressed that the limit of
curtailment Of production has been
reached. Larger sales arc noted In the
shoe trade. and leather and hides are
more active. In iron and steel a de-
cided cut Is made IN the price Of steel
bars. and there are further conces-
sions in the prices of pig iron. This
has had an unsettling effect not only
in the iron and steel trade but 10 some
extent in business generally. Crop
prospects continue to improve. and
this fact constitutes the strongest
basis for the future in a gradual ex-
psnsion Of Industrial activity as the
year advances.
Meanwhile the banks keep piling up
additional cash resources, and their ca
pacity for credit expansion Is greater
than in many years. while the admis-
sion Of trust companies into the New
York Clearing House strengthens the
financial situation 10 an extent that is
scarcely appreciated. but which makes
this one Of the most important bank
ing developments in years.
Bradstreets says
Reports as 10 the more important
crops continue favorable. and trade
improves slowly. but in a very irreg-
ular way. symptoms Of betterment
suggested by the trend Of affairs last
week have not, however, eventuated
In the sustained, spreading improve
ment that was hoped for, hence some
evidences Of disappointment visible
Retail trade. in consonance with con.
tinued seasonable weather, has ex
panded, but the turnover is still below
