Weekly Review
OF Trade Report

New York. May Or. G.. Dun &c
Cos. Weekly Review Of Trade tomor-
row will say:
A period of continuous warm wealth
er has had a beneficial effect upon
practically all commercial lines. The
movement of seasonable goods, both at
wholesale and retail, shows an encour-
aging increase and most reports in
dictate that confidence is steadily gain
ing strength. Low merchandise stocks
at distributing centers, cheap money
and the favorable crop outlook are the
chief factors operating to create a
more cheerful sentiment regarding the
future.
Advance fall orders fro clothing are
not up to expectations but gratifying
betterment is manifest in cotton goods
and the mills are well sold for the
next six or eight weeks on samples.
Betterment in footwear is increas-
ingly apparent and more machinery is
liz operation. Leather is not moving
freely, but is in strong position, as
supplies of all kinds are limited. AL
though a more hopeful telling is man
ifest in iron and steel, it bling antici-
pated that conditions will improvev
during the second half of the year,
the general situation remains quiet.
Failures number 332 in the United
States against 223 last year and 80
in Canada compared with "a a year
ago.

The town of Kingfeld is doing
things. It has dispensed with talk and
has decided 10 try work. This is the
story:
Some months ago L. L. Mitchell, a
druggist in Kingfeld, read maya
zine article which described a road
.bee"' somewhere in the West. In
that instance the men folks from
miles around turned out and worked
two days building a stretch of per-
manent road. Mr.. Mitchell thought
hat Kingfield could we'll afford to take
some OF the same kind Of medicine.
He talked with his neighbors about

aeighbors until everybody in town had
aoard about this new tangled scheme
TO stop cussing the roads ard fix
them. At first there was little OBJ
lection because II was proposed to do

Sir Ernest Shackleton affirms that
during all the months spent in the
extreme cold of the antarctic not one
of his company suffered from cold.
No sooner. however, did their vessel
reach warmer latitude than every
man on board was smitten with ca
tarrh. And cold snaps" are even
more costly in England than in the
United States. To builders, plasterers
and many carpenters and joiners frost
or snow means temporary unemploy-
ment, Shipbuflding, too, can not be
carried on at low temperatures, and
when the mercury drops to freezing
point all the yards are idle. All wa
terside laborers suffer by severe cold,
and fishermen about the coasts affirm
that frost drives the fish into deep wa
ter. Il has been calculated, indeed,
that a days continued frost or snow
in that country means a million men
idle and loss of wages which affects
the whole trading and laboring COM
munity.
