General Trade Conditions.

Dun's says: With indications of re
turning activity which have expert
enced more or less protracted lull
the general position of business is
stronger and sentiment has improved.
The revival in distributive trade has
continued with the more seasonable
temperatures and, though not all re-
ports are favorable, results at the re-
tail counters are now more uniformly
encouraging.
Further progress in agriculture also
has accompanied the better weather
and the consequent freer movement
of farm products to market has in
some cases had a depressing effect on
prices. Yet the main trend of whole
sale commodities quotations is still
decisively upward and textiles and
steel and iron, as well as other impor-
tant articles, are not only phenom-
enally high, but are likely to rise to
even more extraordinary levels.
The requirements of the govern
ment are assuming more definite
shape in the steel industry and earlier
calculations as to their MAGNITUDE are
proving conservative in textiles and
in hides, leather and footwear and
other lines the war needs are extern
sive and diversified
