DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.
Leading centers Report Business Conn
dence and Activity.

NEW YORK, April 1s.-R G. Dun &
Compnny's Weekly Review OF Trade to-
morrow VIII say:
Reports from the leading trade centers
Indicate that the recent progress toward
increased business conhd ence and activ-
ment however disturbing, seems to check
the Improvement, The growth OF more
optimistic business sentiment is especial
ly conspicuous in the west and south
west, and this is all the more significant
because Of the reports Of damage to WIN
rapid advance in prices which was par
TALLY lost. The fearful disaster TO the
steamship Titanic has had more or less
depressing effect upon the market and
Is matter of special concern In shipping
and insurance circles.
Further price advances In iron and
steel are announced and production is
we'll maintained at approximately 90 per
cent OF capacity There has been heavy
buying of bars by agricultural machinery
interests and quotations are higher,
Sheets are also firmer. and on the whole
stronger Demand for pig iron has In
cluded basic. nalleable and foundry
grades, important foundries In the east
and central west having covered their
requirements for the third quarter and
come OF the second half OF the year.
There is less structural steel work In
sight than for some time. but II Is estl-
mated that contracts for standard Sec
ton rails now pending aggregate about
100, 900 tons.
Labor troubles in textile centers 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.
Leather and hides are firm.

SUGAR LANDS UNDER WATER
Louisiana Levees Continue to Give
Way-Half of lberville Parish
Fiooded-Milions Lost

Baton Rouge, Louisiana. = There
have been further breaks in the levees
at Moreauville. The water is slug
gishly spreading through a break IL
miles long, extending from voorhees,
to the property of the Long Bridge
Oil Company.
Because of the big cut made by the
water the break is expected to result
in the river materially changing its
course for a distance of forty miles.
Moreauville is deserted, save for two
city officials and two telegraph oper-
ators. The citizens of Plancheville
expect that town to be flooded at any
moment and are leaving.
Nearly half of Iberville parish, the
richest sugar section in the state, is
under water from the Torras crevasse
and the loss in that district alone will
run into millions. Plantation after
plantation has been inundated. Re-
ports from Natchez say the sailors on
the battle ship Nebraska have for
warded $500 as a contribution to the
flood fund.
