Review of Trade

Cos. Weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row will say
Absence of uniformity continues to
characterize trade advices, but, con-
side red in A broad sense, favorable re-
ports predominant, Retail distribution
at leading points is widening and
some Improvement is also manifest in
Jobbing and wholesale departments,
While rather less complaint is heard
as to collections. In cotton goods trans
actions are quite fair and prices have
recovered on certain lines, with spe-
cial sales of wash goods last week
being very successful. Wooden mills
are still in need of orders yet, on the
whole sentiment is more optimistic
Seasonable influences have had a ia
vorable effect upon the footwear sit
uaticn and the factories are more full
~ employed. This has resulted in some
betterment in leather.
The extreme heat has somewhat
hampered mill forces i'll iron and steel,
operations in the Pittsburg district be-
nag at approximately 20 per cent. of
capacity. No material increase in the
volume of new business is apparent,
yet evidence of Improvement in con-
Gitions is not wholly absent.
Failures in the United States are
2s4 against $50 the corresponding week
last year. Failures in Canada number
So against 80 last year.
