NEITHER BUSINESS NOR
MARKETS DISTURBED

NEW YORK. March 23-Dun's Week
~ Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
Neither legitimate business nor
speculative markets have been disturb
ed by the recent significant events In
the foreign situation. In producing
and distributing channels. as in bank
ing circles. caution continues general,
and many interests are still waiting
but there is no lack Of the confidence
which is essential 10 the economic well
fare Of the nation. That activity has
abated In some branches In about all
directions is not surprising. In view Of
the unexampled rise OF prices and the
limits to which the buying movement
was previously carried, and nearly
everywhere commitments for the far
future are undertaken with prudence.
Yet in steel and iron there is little
hating. either In respect TO demand or
prices. and In this quarter. as in others.
actual and prospective Federal require
ments enter largely into calculations.
With more open weather less is heard
of delays in transportation and the
adjustment OF the railway labor con-
troversy has removed an unsettllnE
and retard!ng element. Difficulty in
obtaining raw materials has not been
eliminated however, and manufacturing
operations remain hindercd with the
shortage of skilled hands. an added
drawback Costs of production are
rising in many directions. and natur-
ally have an important effect on prices
in distributing circles. and the pre-
vailinE tendency in retail lines Is to-
ward increased conservatism in pur-
chasing Yet that consumption con-
tinues remarkably large under the
conditions is evidenced 10y reports from
the principal centers and bank clear
inCs (29.4 per cent greater THIS week
than last year at tho leading outside
cities) reflect not only the Influence
of high prices. but also the magnitude
OF current transactions
