BRADsTREET's TRADE REVIEW
In Many Lines Business in Excess of
Last Year.

| NEW YORK, April 19.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Trade is steady as whole and In many
| lines the volume OF business is In excess
NJ that done at this time last year. Still
more or less irregularity has developed
and there has been some recess from the
activity witnessed In recently preceding
weeks. This trend is due in part TO the
fact that near future spring require
ments have been covered. while far fu-
ture buying, save In special lines of tex
tiles, is rendered conservative by uncer-
tain crop prospects and actual serious
damage 10 winter wheat. However. the
undertone of affairs Is strong.
Dry goods, footwear, hats and caps,
furnishings, hardware, groceries, lumber
and paints and oils lead in point of ac-
tivity, while the price tone of the iron
and steel markets is much stronger, with
activity In pig iron and buying OF steel
bars predomlnating. But even this latter
market is affected by the fact that prices
on structural shapes are not 80 firm In
the east as they are elsewhere. Jobbers
OF cotton goods have recently taken to
buying In small lots, but in a steady way.
Still the market as a whole Is less ac-
tive, owing In part to weather conditions,
as well as TO the tendency Of prices To
advance, In consonance with higher quo
tations for raw cotton and to slow pay
ments. II Is recognized that work Is
light, that production in many things
has been restricted by mill labor troubles
and that il will take time to regain lost
ground. Suitable for fall and winter
uses are being taken in liberal way.

SHEEP-Fat lamb trade held a steady
course with an unusually large Friday
the big end of the run consisted cs
through Colorados, leaving only six or
seven loads for the actual market About
half of these offerings were shorn lambs,
the other three or four loads showing up
in the fleece.
Demand for good wooded stock had
more freedom than the inquiry for shorn
strings. but the trade in general was
rather quiet than otherwise. Best lambs,
Mexicans, made a creditable top of sos,
while pretty good shorn westerns sold
around 500. indicating a spread of about
H.e between the two classes Of stock.
The few packages of sheep on sale
moved at hit-and-miss figures the sup
ply being too small to afford anything
like fair test of values Fat ewes are
quotable up to $500. with wethers wanted
at the usual premiums over ewes.
Compared with week ago, both sheep
and lambs are selling on a generally
steady basis, the market showing few
changes since last Friday. Packing de-
mand has been very fair throughout,
but the dressed mutton trade is not In
the very best Of condition and little inn
provement in live stock values is ex-
pected until after the next two weeks,
when the Colorados are all out of the
way, Feeder orders have been scarce on
all days recently, but shearers have been
taking considerable fat stuff, the four
days purchase amounting to almost 5000
head.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
No Disturbing Development Able to
Abate Progress.
IN IRON AND STEEL
Disaster to Steamship Titanic Has
Mere or Less Depressing Effect
and Especially Concerns
Insurance Circles.

NEW YORK, April ls.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow
will say:
Reports from the leading trade centers
| Indicate that the recent progress toward
increased business confidence and aetlV-
ity continues and no current development
however disturbing, seems to check the
| Improvement.
The growth of more optimistic business
sentiment is especially conspicuous IN
the west and southwest, and this Is all
the more significant because of the re
ports Of damage to winter wheat that
were responsible for rapid advance IN
prices wnicn was partially lost.
The fearful disaster to the steamship
Titanic has had a more or less depressing
effect upon the markets and is a matter
Of special concern in shipping and In
surance circles.
Further price advances In iron and steel
are announced and production is WI
maintained at approximately 70 per cent
of capacity. There has been heavy buy
ing Of bars by agricultural machinery
Interests and quotations are higher.
Sheets are also flrmer and on the whole
finished and semi-finished lines are
stronger Demand for pig iron has in
cluded basic. malleable and foundry
grades, important foundries In tAe east
and central west having covered their
requirements Tor the tnlrQ quarter anu
some for the second half OF the year.
There is less structural steel work In
sight than for some time, but II is esti-
mated that contracts for standard Sec
ton rails now pending aggregate about
l0o, 900 tons.
Labor troubles in textile eenters are
being adjusted, but deliveries In many
lines are Affected by recent strikes. Dis
tributors in the middle west complain OF
hesitancy due TO unfavorable crop re-
ports. In the industrial sections Of the
country dry goods trade is improving
moderately.
Cotton goods are firm and advances
have been announced in wide print cloths.
wide sheetings and other lines.
Demand for staple prints and ginghams
Is steady and ducks rule very firm.
Export shipments continue large. The
silk trade is beginning to show distinct
Improvement In the volume of fall orders,
while wooden and worsted lines are in q
very satisfactory position.
Improvement is noted in footwear and
while the higher prices demanded cause
conservative buying, both manufacturers
and wholesalers report an increase In
business as the season advances. Leather
and hides are firm.
