New York. April 2.-Dun's Review to-
morrow will say:
Domestic trade gains slowly. but war
orders and food exports continue very
heavy and in all branches of business
and in all sections there is a distinct
growth Of confidence. The big advance
in cotton is a great relief to the depres-
sion in the South. while in the West high
prices for farm products make for con-
tinued activity and in spite Of low tenn
perature in the winter wheat section.
crop prospects are regarded as favorable.
A notable expansion of stock exchange
activity is a speculative expression. both
Of the improving business conditions and
Of the increasing hopes of peace.
Bank clearings, commercial failures.
and other statistics of business, however,
still reveal the wide extent and effect Of
the depression that was produced by the
war. but ii is significant that these in
dices of trade activity are growing bet
ter month by month, so that they rep
resent past conditions rather than ten
denotes for the future.
Money Is very easy, but this is due in
large part to the absence of new and
great corporate undertakings; it makes.
however. for enormous power for uplift.
when the turn in trade fully sets in. 1t is
noteworthy that American bankers are
large IOT
buyers of American commodities, and
preparations must eventually be made
for financing the governmental war
loans. that cannot be taken by the peo-
pie of the several belligerent nations
The wastes of the European conflict
will be a world burden.
On the other hand. the war reveals
unexpected resources of hidden wealth
and it is possible that the recovery from
the disaster. particularly in the neutral
countries. may be more rapid than was at
first feared. Exports amount in the lat
est week to sc9.142,0aO. from New York
as compared with SIS OF imports,
making a trade balance Of over 50 900. 600
in single week at one port alone. In
iron and steel, the European demands
are increasing so largely that they are
responsible for further expansion in the
output of the plants. and domestic bust
ness. while not so active, is nevertheless
improving
Reports from the textile markets arc
encouraging. and in most lines there is
a broader demand and added firmness.
Retail distribution appears to be more &C
tive. though Easter buying has not been
lavish. The outlook for improvement In
footwear is Frightening. Favorable
spring weather is beneficial for the lum-
Der and other building supply trades. al
though building operations are much be-
low those of last year. In all lines stocks
are low"

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Dun's and Bradsreets Both Report Optimistic Signs in
Countys TradeSpeeder Operations in Industrial Lines,
Large Foreign Buying of Steel Among Hopeful Omens.

New York, April 2.-Bradstreet's review
Tor the week tomorrow will say:
Progress in distributive trade. not
withstanding the existence Of some re-
tarding factors. speedier operations in IN
dustrial lines. large foreign buying OF
steel, relatively heavy trading in STOCKS.
remarkably heavy exports of wheat, good
wheat crop adyices and evidence Of
disposition to embark in new enterprises.
are the pre-eminent factors in this week
news.
Casters demands have enlarged retail
trade and expanded jobbing business, Out
on the other hand cold weather and poor
country roads have prevented freer move
ments In the South and Pacific North
west the situation is particularly back
ward, but in the East sentiment, follow
ing activity in the stock market. Is more
favorable in the Northwest continued
cold weather retards spring buying; In the
Southwest business is looking up, though
still attended by conservatism. and in the
West the broad tendency is to pull to-
ward improvement.
"Idleness has decreased-the problem
of unemployment in the larger cities does
not require so much attention; operations
in the hard-coal and copper mines have
been increased; steel mills are working al
a better rate: automobile plants are in
full swing: farming out" of foreign
orders for machine tools insures activ-
ity for plants not originally favored by
such orders. and there are signs of i'm
provement in lumber at the South.
In certain lines stimulated by foreign
orders work on double turn is common.
Collections have improved a little. Sank
clearinGs reflect increase over last
week. but comparison with the like week
one and two years ago reveals moderate
decreases. 1t is probably. however, that
the value of bank clearings as trade
suage is vitiated to some extent through
the workings of the Federal reserve sys-
tenn. Business failures are not so nu-
merous as last week. which. with the
fall scored the preceding week. suggests
that the strain is easing. Money Is
cheap, investment demand Is heavy ana
the notation of foreign loans attracts at
.cntion.
