Business ReUiUaL Is Being Extended,
 Says Dun's ReUieu
By Associated Press

New York, April 7.-Dun's tomor- row will say:
 With recognition of the unsatisfac- tory phases which still prevail, the fact is nevertheless clear that the business revival is being extended. Close observers of conditions do not disregard the deleterious influence of present labor troubles, nor the unset tied effects of past economic read justments, but basis unmistakabiy exists for the statement that the scope of the recovery is widening.
 While uniformity of improvement is conspicuously lacking. irreGularity of demand and prices is natural concomitant of commercial recupera tion, and it's absence now would be surprising. The maintenance of a conservative policy in many quarters Is more to be desired, after the experi- ence of the last two years, than a repetition of unwholesome imitation and in prudent action at this time affords a solid foundation for sub sequent progress. That confidence has strengthened rather than lessen ed, is evidence dby the tenor of dis patches from different sections of the country and gains in actual transac- tions have exceeded expectations in some important industries.

Fear of Late Start in
 Cotton Is the Main
 Weeks Feature
By Associated Press

New York. April 1.-The fear of a late start of the new crop has been reflected in the generally steady un- dertone of the cotton market dur ing the past week. Very heavy rains followed by overflows have been re- ported In the southwest evidently de- laying farm work, while there has been talk of washouts necessitating replanting in parts of south Texas. More moderate showers or rains also have been reported in eastern belt sections. and buying on the. unfavor- able view of the weather news has found encouragement in the firmer ruling of the stock market and pros poets for increased exports.
 Above the 1Sc level for May and around 17Ac for December, however, the market appeared to meet inereas- ed realizing and became rather un- settled toward the close of the week as result of near month liquidation. Prominent spot house brokers were sellers of May against purchases of July presumably to undo straddles and rather vague talk of probable shipments here for delivery next month,s led to good deal of scat tering May liquidation. As a result the May premium over July which had been maintained at around 60 to 65 points during the previous week. narrowed to about 45 points this morning but later ruled in the neigh borhood of 50 points, as the liquida- tion became less active.
 Very conflicting opinions are ex- pressed in trade circles here as to whether these early spring rains and overflows justify increased uneasi- ness over the new crop outlook Ow- ing to the boil weevil situation, a late start would be considered par ticularly unfortunate but 1t is claim ed that the rains are putting a good season in the ground and that the crop would make rapid strides with a few days of good. weather Com ment of the latter sort was heard in connection with reports that fertilizer sales during March showed quite a sharp increase over last years, su.g- gesting that the firmer ruling of last months market had stimulated farm ing operations. No improvement has been reported in the domestic cot
