TRADE REPORTED QUIET
New Construction Hating
F ures Increase.

Commercial agencies reported whole
sale trade quiet with little buying for
future wants. New construction is still
below the seasonal volume and failures
continue to Increase over 1913.
"Dun's Review to-day will say:
"While some betterment is discernible
I'm certain branches OF trade, in others a
further moderate recession In activity is
manifest. Fundamental conditions are
sound and the agricultural outlook augurs
well for the future, yet hesitancy is gen
eral in anticipating forward requirements
Although expansicl in building operations
is to be expected at this period or the
year, nearly all whosesale lines dependent
upon new construction are quiet.
Failures this week numbered SO8 in the
United States, against 239 last year"
"Bradstreet's" has the following:
Excellent reports as to crop prospects
strikingly contrast with advices OF irregu-
larity in trade and industry. Where
weather conditions have been favorable
moderately good volume OF retail busi-
ness has been done, but In the Northwest
Il has been too wet for best developments
and I'm the Southwest, as well as In parts
of the West and in the East generally
movements have been retarded by low
temperatures
Wholesale trade exhibits between-sea-
sons quiet, and except in special IN
stances, buying continues OF hand-to-
mouth character, little disposition 10
cover far future wants being in evidence.

H|RSCHbERG SAYS
MINIMIZE LABOR
DIVISION OF STREET
CLEANING DEPARTMENT
INTO DISTRICTS.

AT the suggestion OF Commissioner
Hirschberg yesterday the Administra-
tive Board directed Superintendent
Henry Cohn, Of the Street Cleaning
Department to prepare a statement
as to the feasibility and the desira bill
!ty of certain changes in the conduct
OF the department. In keeping with
the annexation scheme.
Commissioner Hirschberg suggested
that. in view of the largely Increased
area which is to be covered by the
department. that four districts be
esta blished, with Fifth Street the
dividing line.
This will. according to Mr.. Hirsch-
berg, avert the necessity OF the men
in the department reporting every
morning at the stables at Fifteenth
and Marshall Streets, and then repair
ing to their various stations. He
figured that much time would be saved
by having station in the east and the
west ends. where the men may report,
and proceed with their duties
with such large territory to cover"
said Mr.. Hirschberg last night. sit
seems to. me to be utter folly for the
West End men to report every morn
ing at the stables. and then proceed
two or three miles away before going
to work. An hour or more Is lost. Let
the city have its substations. for the
convenience OF all concerned"
Superintendent cohn. it IL under
stood. is In full accord with the pro-
position. as 1t follows UP what he has
striven to accomplish since the
previous consultations. Mr.. Cohn
was reported sick yesterday and could
not be seen.
