BACKWARD SPRING CHECKS PROGRESS
Distribution of Merchandise Retarded and Causes Ac-
 emulation of Goods

New York, April 17.-Dun's review will say tomorrow:
 Adverse weather conditions accentuate the prevailing quietness in trade.
 sEvidences of improvement are not ab- sent. yet progress is checked by the back ward spring. This retards distribution of seasonable merchandise and has caused accumulation of goods in soma quarters.
 The supply of commercial paper con- tirues light, notwithstanding the attrac- tive terms offered by financial institu- tions. Confidence in the future, how ever, is maintained largely because of the splendid agricultural outlook.
 Winter wheat is in such shape that even last years banner yield probably will be surpassed. Everything points to an increased cotton acreage, while other leading crops are starting we'll. Specu- lative influences have imparted some firn- ness to- prices of farm staples, but, in a broad sense. commodities are still tend- ing downward
 Failures this week numbered 31S against 295 last year ana 30 in Canada, compared with 27.''
