Trade Condition Mixed

NEW YORK, May 29.-Bradstreets
tomorrow will say.
1t is difficult to find a keynote that
will at once characterize trade trends
the country over. but large business
continues favorable the western situ-
alton in this respect being almost
antithetlcal to the depression prevail
ing in the east. Presumably the west
Is buoyed by sanguine wheat crop
prospects, and in that section Of the
country there does not appear to be
much apprehension as regards un-
faXorable consequences from tariff
revision.

NEW YORK, May 23.--Dun's re-
view tomorrow will say:
The volume of business In nearly
all branches OF trade and industry
continues very large. but It Is oplstly
to meet immediate needs. Confidence
Is sustained by the prospect Of big
crops. but manufacturers and mer-
chants still pursue conservative
policy pending the termination of
tariff uncertainty. Such recession In
trade as exists is chiefly In the ab-
sence of new orders for future de-
livery.

"Therefore, 1t seems to us inappro-

be given such prominence in the dec
oratlons Of the city on this occasion.
I'VE, therefore. urgently request
that you take such action as may be
necessary to remove the offensive
