WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Developments in Mexican Difficulty Have Had
Small Effect on Business in General, Al
though a Response Has Baen Appar-
ent in the Stock Market.

New York. April 24-Bradstrcets will
say tomorrow:
Aside from an improvement noted in
retail trade West. Northwest. and South
west. trade and industry generally has
not shown any particular change this
week.
The Mexican Developments. more es-
peCially the uncertainties surrounding the
matter, have disturbed and depressed the
stock market Bearish pressure upon
prices is moro apparent than extensive
liquidation. but purchasing power is sus-
pended.
indifferent trade. or only moderate
activity is noted in the eastern sections.
Jobbing business has responded slightly
to the rather more active dealings in the
West. The leading industries note little
change from preceding weeks. Iron and
steel are dun as regards new business.
as dun in fact. as for a long time past.
Pig iron is depressed and output is
placed at only half capacity. as against
thTec-fifths capacity in finished mills.
Finished steel prices are rather unsteady.
In wearing apparel at wholesale. best
reports come from the silk and wooden
branches. though cotton wash fabrics
show good activity, while staple cotton
and yarns are quiet. Even in silk goods.
irregularity is noted with ribbons more
active than broad goods for next season.
Wooden dress and mems wear mills re-
port operations active. but less certainly
is expressed as to new business. Re-
orders for the heavy weight season are
met with demands for higher prices,
owing to the higher range of raw wool
ia all markets. Wool Is quiet but strong.
Domestic woods are quiet but meet ready
sale when offered. Interest in the next
