IMPROVEMENT IS
 SLOW IN DEVEL0P|N
More Hopeful Feeling, How ever, in Iron and Steel.
 Activity in Pig Iron

New York, May 15.-Dun's Review to- morrow will say:
 "Furthering strengthening of confidence is manifest as a result of the betterment in some branches of business. Improve ment is still slow in developing and pro- gress is not uniform, yet rather more cheerful reports are received from the leading centers.
 v"Conditions as whole are not entirely satisfactory. but most advices indicate that the trend is in the right direction. Perhaps the best feature is the more hopeful feeling in iron and steel, and the signs of reviving activity apparent both in finished lines and in pig iron. There also is a better sentiment in the dry goods trade.
 'The commodity markets displayed somewhat more activity this week, with the tendency, however, still towards lower level.
 Failures this week are 33e against 20 last year. In Canada 40 against 45'
