CONDITION OF TRADE.
"Dun's Review" says:

The tendency In the industries and trades
is toward broader distribution. The IN
creased activity IS in rpite OF the slow
breaking up OF a winter OF unusual severity,
OF pending controversies abroad and at
home, Including as they do, the still un-
settled coal strike in ENGLAND and the dis
agreement between coal operators ana
miners in this country. Other labor uou-
llcs however are less disturbing The
Lawrence strike is virtually over. whilo
advances of wages of . 20 10 per cent In the
cotton goods trade indicate the betterment
in that direction. il rs Significant that the
reports from the West now reflect the I'M
proved business sentiment, and this not
withstanding that weather conditions are
still generally unfavOrable for distribution
of merchandise although generally favor
are distinctly encouraging. The final cotton
ginning report makes the extraordinary
total OF i60j00O bales. the February for
cign commerce statement gives the largest
exports for that month on record and an
excess over imports the largest for the
month with but one exception. Railroad
earnings during two weeks In March In
creased AZ per cent. Bank clearings this
week are very promising, showing gains
outside New York Of 1917 per cent over 1911
and OF SO per cent over 1910, and in New
York OF 20.4 and AZ per cent. respectively
In the iron and steel trade there Is larger
activity In pig iron and increased tirmness
In prices for steel products. Copper has
advanced 10 the highest price since 1907. In
the drygoods trade the Improvement re-
Gently noted not only holds good, but there
is "a clear tendency TO stlll wider ACTIVITY,
with advancing prices for prints and other
Finished goods. Woolen goods are In gem
orally good demand with advances In some
