TRADE SHOWS
AWAKENING

The general letter on trade condi-
tions and business forecast for March,
issued by the National Bank Of Della
ware yesterday afternoon, tells of
general awakening of busines through
out the country. The letter in part
says:
Being now we'll into the year 1912,
we are beginning TO face the situa-
tion which we have all along been
advised was sure to come about. Rail-
roads are understocked with equip
ment and materials; manufacturers
are understocked with raw materials;
stocks Of merchandise IN the hands Of
the wholesalers and retailers are
woefully short
THE gradual but insistent inn
provement in business has slipped
upon use almost unawares, and while
only month ago, business was quiet
In nearly all lines. the present de-
mand for goods generally can scarcely
be supplied. Much business will un-
doubtedly be lost because of the in
ability TO make deliveries Referring
to the manufacturing and merchan-
dising business only of this country,
there is little cause for complaint.
THE political situation is not re-
taring business TO any extent The
cotton mill strike, the demand Of lo-
enm0tive engineers East Of Chicago for
a wage increase, and the prospective
general coal strike are the real handi-
caps to business. There is probable
ity OF an amicable adjustment with
the engineers; the demands Of the coal
miners are such that arbitration seems
impossible and the matter will prob
ably have to be fought out during the
. Spring months. entailing great loss TO
operators and operatives.
Bank clearings for January were
Z heavier than either December or the
previous January for the entire coun-
try aud the same statement applies foI
! the country exclusive of New Yorl
city.
"The number OF business failurei
for January was the largest for TEL

1908. The total liabilities Of thes
