BRADSTREETS WEEKLY
NEW YORK, April H. Bradstreets
tomorrow will say:
The general impulse is In the di-
rection of Improvement and retail
trade and industry generally are bet
ter despite rains, bad country roads
and strikes. The situation is neces-
sarily so irregular, however, that the
Characterization of spotted" perhaps
best expresses the general outlook
AS to weather conditions. it might
be said that the rains in the west.
while delaying crop work, holding
down spring retail distribution and
flooding the countrys streams and
lowlands, have compensated in a
tendency to greatly improve future
crop and soil conditions.
