NEW YORK. March 29.-Bradstreets
review of the weeks trading and

FACTORS Of ths week in purely do

larged buying both at wholesale and
retail; reports of excellent moisture
soil and winter wheat crop conditions;
the beginning of spring wheat seed
ing in the southern areas of the north
west, more life in building trades and
in lumber and In other materials; prep
arations making for an early open
ing Of navigation on the great lakes:
good sentimental effects from and
some enlargement of actual buying of
iron and steel following last weeks
cut in prices; larger than expected
demand for desirable grades of wool
at the government auctions; a con-
tinuance of the gains shown In clear
ings as compared with a year ago
and a slight cutting down of the un-

being accompanied by reports from
the northwest and south that in those
sections unemployment is negligible,
