DOMESTIC TRADE
CONTINUES SLOW

Dun's Review IN. ", May 6: The
increasingly bright outlook for the
wheat crop is responsible for a some
what better feeling in business as to
the future. But the actual volume Of
trade, while necessarily large be-
cause the daily necessities of a vast
population are large, Is nevertheless
slow, hating and without enthus-
asm. Taken in the aggregate, AMI
especially in such basic trades as
iron and steel and dry goods, con-
sumption is much below producing
capacity, and even concessions in
prices fail to produce activity. Fun
damental conditions, such as the
large supplies of money and the gen.
orally low stocks of merchandise, are
favorable; but enterprise continues
to wait for the removal of uncertain
ties and for that courageous leader
ship which is born of large faith in
the future The export trade is
much more vigorous than the domes-
tic, because manufacturers no longer
finding the home market for their
goods sufficient are diligently seek
ing outlets abroad, and this is
process which is sure to be eventu-
ally beneficial to business as
whole. Pig iron and finished steel
production is much below mill ca
pacity and seems to be Teceding.
Curtailment is still the order in cot
ton goods, while woolens are neces-
sarily affected by tariff agitation.
The shoe trade is fair, but not up ID
high water mark. 1t is noticeable
that for the present at least the trade
recession seems to be felt more
keenly in the West than in the East,
and even the fine crop prospects DO
not altogether Offset the effect Of
lower farm values. The mail order
houses complain of reduced orders.
The retail trade does not quite hold
the improvement resulting from bet
ter weather. The bond market is
considerably better, which is good
sign. Altogether the situation IS
perplexingly mixed, with immediate
trade much worse than conditions
promise for the future. Bank clear
ings outside of New York this week
were IL per cent lower than in 1910,
but 6,3 better than in 1909, while in
New York there were decreases nj
17.3 and CT per cent, respectively.
Railroad gross earnings during April
were OF per cent better, and there
are indications of Improvement in
net returns. Exports continue to eX-
pand and imports to decline, the for
mer during the past week in New
York being $1S,2S9,OO or 1891
better than in 1910 and $2,82S,965 bet
ter than in 1899, while imports were
s15,912,522, a decline of $3,S39,673
from 1910 and of $1,79S,OOS from
1909.

KONA COFFEE

The McChesney Coffee Company
mention the receipt of an order for
fifty pounds best quality Kona seed
coffee for shipment to Formosa. This
island, acquired from China by Japan
during the war between the coul-
tries, is noted for it's teas. Now it
is to grow coffee, and it is hoped
will in time become famous for its
Kona coffee. If all this seed grow,
counting 100 to the ounce, the fifty
pounds should produce $4,000 trees.
In time Formosa's Kona coffee will
be sweetened with sugar produced by
Honolulu mills.
