BAD WEATHER
HURTS BUSINESS

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Bradstreet's
for Saturday says:
Optimism as to the future is unim-
paired. industrial operations are eX-
pandins at an encouraging rate, and
the gain OF production IN several lead
ing lines has been considerably speed
ed UP. on the other hand Indictment
weather. particularly in the east has
impeded shipments and stiffened
prices OF some commodities and af
fected road sales to some extent. Con-
sequently new buying does not pre-
sent the keen edge that was expected.
Incidentally in some lines Of cotton
dry goods there is a good deal OF ma
neuvering for lower prices But as
against this manifestation is cited the
fact that manufacturers Of WoOlens
and worsteds are realizing that in or
der to meet the competition they cut
prices too close 20 the bone. Now.
because of higher prices for raw ma
terial, domestic and foreign an up
ward reaction may reasonably be eX-
pected.
In the New York textile markets
features were advances made by mems
wear agents on fall goods consequent
upon higher wool prices and wOrsted
yarns quotations and good duplicate
orders for sAfing. Steady markets for
cottOns active demand for silk goods
and higher prices for the material
were also noted.
Money is easier but there are signs
of forthcoming steadiness especially
abroad.
Commodity markets have moved
within narrow limits with the general
trend slightly upward. Wheat was in
clined TO ease early on abundant snow
covering
Despite the quieting down of de
mand FOR iron in that year, 1913 was
record breaker in the matter of
production. the total output being 80,
966. 301 tons. a gain of Al per cent
over the hitherto high record total of
1912.
Business failures week ending Feb.
Is. 1913. were &16 which compares
with BIB last week and 80 in the
like week year ago.
