Though trade trends are running in

irregularity to divest the situation of
uniformity. over and beyond all is.
the fact that the larger centers of dis
tribution continue to do remarkably
well, this being most potent in cereal

by heavy crops. Comparatively few
places can boast of good, seasonable-
retail trade.

Business failures for the week end
ed January 80, were 361, which COM
pares with 312 in the like week of
