RATHER FAVORABLE
Reports for Week on Trade Con.
ditions by Commercial Agencies

Although in some parts OF the county
there is practically no tendency toward
a lessening Of activity. other districts re-
port that business has been retarded. So
on the whole the reports appear 10 b.
more conflicting than In some previous
weeks "Dun's Review" summarizes as
follows:
while business sentiment, especially
in the East displays marked degree OF
conservatism. the actual volume OF in
dustrial and mercantile activity shows
little or no dimnution. Retail distribu-
ton has been retarded in many sections
bv cold and Indictment weather but tho
fact that wholesale houses report II
broader demand for cotton goods, foot-
wear and most staple lines is evidence
that this check is regarded as only tenn
porary. Aside from the low tempera-
lures. the crop situation In most sections
continues favorable, although complaints
of damage led 90 some reduction In ;he

and steel shipments continue heavy. with
mills engaged on finished lines still be-

Paris, June 1.-The Boursc was dull
and irregular last week. and the un-
favorable feeling toward United States
securities aroused by the St Louis 4
San Francisco receivcrship dispute
was intensely bitter among certain
groups of dealers directly affected. but
leading bankers do not consider that
this will result in the adoption Of
drastic measures prohibiting all United
States bonds and shares from being
listed on the Bourse or sold on the curb

influential operators.

year ago and s16.356.020 in 1911"
Bradstroets summing up shows an ir-
regular tone:
Trade reports continue to exhibit fair
~ sharp lines Of demarcaton, in that
current distribution still surpasscs future
business. and that surplus crop growing
sections manifest more progressivcness
than Eastern territory. In other words,
trade I'm the West reflects optimism born
OF favorable prospects as regards wealth
to come from the soil, which outlook Is
not clouded to any great extent by such
matters as coming tariff changes, while
in the East repression as regards future
requirements is plainly in evidence. un-
ccrtainties concerning tariff reductions
being the detcrring factors. Still it is OBJ
vious that current trade the country over Is
Of good. II not large. proportions, and that
IN most sections west OF the Allegheny
Mountains there is a disposition 10 cover
future wants in conservative way. IL Is
quite generally conceded that the total
turnover I'm that section IS in excess Of
what II was at this time last year. and
this fact Is deemed satisfactory for a
buying season that is 70 we'll advanced.
one OF the most remarkable features Of
the reports is the utter absence If pes
sImism. on tho contrary. most Western
centres arc conseryatively optimistic. the
prevalent keynote being that trade will Ill
timately develop along satisfactory lines.
There is no hint Of widespread. extensive
buying nor is it likely that speculation
will develop. for the banks, as a general
rule. are avorse to locking up funds ia
long time loans. prefcrring to keep money
where IL Will be readily available. This
attitude augurs a disposition 10 be IRE

London, June l.--Liquidation on the

last week. Everything was down in all
departments. and the worst of il is that
there is no telling when more cheer
full feeling will develop. Everything
points 10 money remaining scarce and
dear for a long time to come. while
there is still great flood of new issues
TO come, but underwriters offered little
relief 10y combining in an cndcavor 60
bounds until the issues already offered
have been absorbed by the public to
some extent.
There have been $50 100000 Of new
issues offered in London in 1913 TO
date, Of which more than 20 per cent
has been left on the underwriters
hands, and until these are absorbed. and
the remainder OF the government issues
and highly attractive private issues ex-
pected 10 como on the market, II can
hardly be expected that the public will
turn with any avidity 10 tho old stocks.
Money became scarce and discounts
high toward the end of the week Bcr-
lin IS taking gold In large quantities
and is calling for more, and the de-
mand will keep up through June. The
situation i'm Austria has not improved.
while Paris continues 10 show high
nervous tension.
Call money went 10 more than per
cent in London on Saturday, though
the prevailing rate was 81 10 -. per
cent. Discounts hardened 10 s., for
bills for all dates. Although nearly
81 .2J0.OO IN bar gold came to London
during the week. the Bank was able 10
retain only small quantity on account
of tho Continental demands. and tho
stock OF gold remains practically sta
tionary.
The Statist." commenting on the
general situation, says:
1t would be n wise thing to assume
that every country In a position 10 do
SO viii be inclined TO strengthen itself
by taking as much as il can get OF the
now gold Offering in London. At the
same time the production OF gold in
;hc world is now on so colossal scale
that the arrivals IN London weekly
wiz be very large and therefore sufii-
cicnt 20 satisfy even those who wish 20
strengthen their reserves. Moreover.
We arc now approaching the holiday
season in Europe and the hot season IN
tropical countries. and consequently
may reasonably look FOR a pause In &C
tivitv. which IS n be expected when
ever confidence revivcs.
The upshot OF the whole argument
is that while It is impossible TO Judge
how persons who have-bcen so alarmed
that they have locked up tens Of mill
ions sterling in boards will act. the
safest plan is TO assume that they will
not very easily become treasured and
therefore It Will be only gradually that
