WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Crop Reports for Season Encouraging but in Srik
ing Contrast to Adpices from Trade and Industry
Quiet in Mexico has Effect

New York. May 1.-Dun's weekly re-
view will say tomorrow:
while some betterment is discernible
in certain branches of trade, in others a
further moderate recession in activity is
manifest. Complaints are still heard, es-
pecially in the East. of the restraining
influence of unsettled weather. Absence
of any important contracts for structural
material has resulted in price sconces-
sions, and sentiment in iron and steel is
not improved. Production is being cur
tailed and mill forces reduced. the poll
cies of the railroads in confining pur-
chases to the closest possible limits con-
stituting the thief drawback.
Lowering Of quotations on copper by
the leading agencies has proved effective
in stimulating the demand. large sales
having recently been made on the basis
of Hi for electrolotype.
The wholesale dry goods trade Is more
conservatiyely inclined in the matter OF
future commitments. As whole, retail
distribution is uuieter. owing in part
to the adverse weather. Both under
wear and hosiery lines are unusually dull
and knit goods curtailment is becoming
more noticeable.
Reports from New England indicate
an active interest in wool. although trans
actions are restricted because OF the
limited offerings. Better conditions pre-
vail at New England footwear centers
than for a long time past. and most oil
the Eastern producers will soon De ac'

from travelling statesmen for next sea,

"Buyers of cotton goods for whole
sale d,strib,,tion are conservative in an

Preparations for supplying government
needs have improved the tone OF the
heavy duck markets, with the result thai
mill agents have raised their asking
prices"
The Washington herald., 1914-05-02

New York. May L-Bradstreets' tomor-
row will say:
Excellent reports as TO crop prospects
strikingly contrast with advices of irreg-
ularity in trade and industry. Where
weather conditions have been favorable
moderately good volume of retail bust
ness has been done, but in the Northwest
it has been too wet for best developments.
and in the Southwest movements have
been retarded by low temperatures
AT the same time, country trade rules
quiet and. except in special instances. buy
ing continues to be of a hand-to-mouth
character, little disposition to cover far
future wants being in evidence. How
ever, manufacturing operations reflect
more irregularity than heretofore. and it
is probable that curtailment in the iron
and steel trades has gained additional
force. On the other hand, crop matters,
whether of preparation or growth, are
highly propitious, except in the North
Atlantic States, where spring work is
backward, and II early promises are rea-
sonably well maintained. bumper yields
of wheat are not improbable. Railway
traffic in the West is heavier than at
this time last year, when business was
good.
"Jobbers have done a good business In
cotton wash dress fabrics and dress
silks have also sold well, but staple cot
tons, aside from some heavy kinds like
duck and military material, are reported
duh and weak, and short times is re-
ported in some mills. New business in
cotton yards is light: but deliveries on
old contracts are being called for. Wors-
ted and WOODEN yarns are firm, and tend
upward. Raw silk is higher. Silk rib
bons sell well.
THE change for the better in the
Mexican outlook has been reflected in
the stock market by general recovery
in prices from the low levels established
at the end OF last week.
Business failures for the week ended
April 30 were 2s5. which compares with
s.J last week, es2 in the like week of 1918,

FOREST NOTES.

The tenth successive year without
forest fire has just been passed by
the Powell national forest in south
central Utah.
Yellow popular, or tulip tree, the
largest broadleaf tree in America, has
been known to reach nearly 200 feet
IN height and 10 feet in diameter.
Pennsylvania has about 1-2 mil
lion acres of timber land, one-eighth
of which is owned by the state. The
total value Of the states timber is 139
million dollars.
Mistletoe thrives on the western
coasts to an extent not approached in
the east. In many places this par
asitic growth is responsible. directly
or indirectly. for a considerable loss
of timber.
Forest officers in Washington and
Oregon plan to discontinue the use OF
barbed wire on their forests. This
will affect their own pastures and
public drift fences. They say barbed
wire has not advantage over smooth
wire, that it Injuries stock and thai
1t is more likely to be born down by
soft snow. Stockmen on the Ochocc
forest, in Oregon, recently con
structed drift fences of smooth wire
though with some misgivings: nov
they say. they will never use barbet
wire again.

of land will produce from 400 to
