STABILITY SHOWN.
Business Fluctuations Orderly,
Dun's Review Reports.

NEW YORK, May u (P9.-Dun's
says: Despite various depressing
factors, business continues to show
a gratifying stability, its fluctuations
this month having been orderly.
Where declines have occurred, they
have been less marked, in some cases.
than those of a year ago, and in
certain lines the trend has been up
ward as usual at this period. Seasonal
influences have caused conflicting
tendencies, but the net result appears
to have been a moderate contraction
from the activities of recent months.
That a more pronounced and more
general letdown has not developed is
proof of the underlying soundness of
conditions for serious floods and
storms and inclement weather in diff
ferent sections have been adverse
phases. Because of these impedi.
ments. a full distribution of goods in
