WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Conditions at Opening of Year of an Encourag-
ing Character Conservatism One of
the Hopeful Signs

New York. Jan. 5-R @. Dun's weekly
review Of trade WIN tomorrow say. in
part:
.sThe year opens with a pronounced
increase in business confidence. based
upon the Improvement during the past
three months, especially In iron and steel.
copper and dry goods. and there Is a
growing belief that the new year will
prove better as to the volume OF bust
ness. transactions than 1911. though this
optimism is tempered by much conserva-
tIsm, and there is no disposition to ex-
pand unduly.
Business this week Is seasonably quiet
as usual during the period OF stock TAX
ing and settlements incident to the clos
ing OF the old and the beginning OF the
new wear; and in some trade centers the
reports are Of rather more than less OF
this customary pause In the mercantile
distribution. In the iron and steel trade.
however. the margin between capacity
ana production is steadily narrowing.
ana II Is the progressive Improvement In
this Industry that makes SO strongly for
the better business sentiment that pre-
walls.
''The expansion in iron and steel ex-
tends to most OF its important branches,
and as this means resumption of work
by closed mills and larger employment
Of labor, the Influence OF this develop
ment on trade and Industry Is far-reach-
ing. The same is true. though in less
degree, In the cotton goods Industry,
and IN fact the dry goods market gem
orally; and. Notwithstanding the inven-
tories and readjustments incident 10 the
season, there is manifest activity IN
for the spring trade. Leather
is also quiet. but generally firm. Hides
show some Improvement"

New York. Jan. 6-Bradstreet's weekly
review OF trade viii tomorrow say, in
part:
"At the advent Of the new year the
undertone OF trade and Industrial condi-
tions seems TO be Of an encouraging
character. At the moment, retail lines
present the most active branches Of dis
tributIve trade. while In Industrial pur-
suits iron and steel and textile mills have
enlarged their working forces. Retail
trade has heen stimulated by colder
weather over a wide area. which has
quickene1 demand for seasonable wearing
apparel. and ct the same time clearance
sales have also helped 10 some extent.
The lower temperatures also have proved
beneficial 70 distribution.
The new year Is deemed to hold forth
fairly good promises. and just now the
tendency Is to be eonseFvatively opti-
mistic, with here and there touch of
uncertainty. which situation Is more or
less natural at the outset Of a new year
following a period OF repression. What
few buyers have come 10 the dry goods
markets speak hopefully. but the con-
sensus seems to Indicate that country
merchants will be ehary about placing
orders IN quantity for some time.
"A conservatively cheerful sentiment
prevails in the iron and steel trade. but
ct the moment new business Is light. fol-
lowing the heavy bargain buying wit
messed In December, and at the same
time some lines are not yet free from
competition.
The coal trade has been improved by
cold weather. and railway traffic In that
commodity has increased. bat tonnage in
general is disappearing and earnings
show decrease
Business failures for the week ended
January were $40. against 3O4 last week
and 2S2 a year ago"

Mr.. worthington had planned TO lay
the proposition before the meeting, but
was unable 10 do so because the dis

Reform in Rural Banks.


has sent formal requests to certain ma
tionaI banks located in rural districts.
asking them to elect directors near
enough to the bank so that the national
bank examiner of the District can meet
and confer with them at each exRmfna-
tion Of the banks affairs. and also ask
ing them TO amend, IL necessary, their
articles of association. Increasing the
number OF directors, so that a majority
Of the directors may be local residents.
As the matters subject to criticism are
now brought to the attention OF the
board by the examiner. It Is highly i'm
portant that at least a majority Of the
board be available. In many cases, how
ever, a majority cannot be assembled
without one or two days and in a few
cases several days notice. and 1t Is prac-
tically impossible for the examiner to
meet these boards at the time Of the ex-
animation.
One of the very strongest reasons for
the election OF local directors. Comprol-
Ter Murray contends. is based upon the
necessity that sometimes arises for quick
action in emergencies when the united
efforts of all Of the directors may be
needed TO save the bank or help tide Il
over a temporary embarrassment. At
such a time there Is no opportunity for
notice to be sent and directors assembled
from distances Of hundreds of miles, and
a few days delay might prove fatal. The
strongest banks IN time of danger are
those with representative local directors
in whom the people OF the community
have entire confidence, and to these banks
disaster rarely comes.
