GENERAL TRADE CONDITIONS
Bradstreet's Presents Cheerful Aspect
-Financier Says Money
Is Tiuhter.

Bradstreet's review of trade says:
While there are many cross-currents
in trade and industry, distributive
business as a whole presents a cheer
full aspect and shipments on spring &C.
count 60 forward with alacrity. Rela-
lively most activity is shown in dry
goods, which is running in excess of a
year ago. Western reports breathe a
distinct tone Of confidence and
strength. From these the shading is
downward to the rather slow condi-
lions reported in parts of the south.
In purely wholesale trade for dis
tant deliveries conservatism is still in
evidence. Strikes existing or prospec-
tive also act as a restraining feature
in trade, but there seems to be rather
less stress laid upon the tariff as a
disturbing feature, either because
preparations have been made accord
ingly or because fuller knowledge
leads to less uneasiness as to pros
pective changes. An interesting feat
ure in the general situation is the
closely restricted volume OF specula-
tive operations witnessed alike in Sc
| curities, cereals, cotton and other COM
modities.
