Boston, March 30-UP)-Gen- eral business in New England shows slight gain in activity and a more optimistic outlook as the time ap- proaches for seasonal increase in most lines, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, said today in the Weekly Trade Review.
 "Improved weather conditions have resulted in an increase in retail trade" the Review said, "al- though the purchasing of spring apparel has not yet got under way.
 "Wool prices continued to ad- vance during the week and in some cases this has slowed up business. although in most lines fair vol tune has been transacted. Medium grades of fleeces were moderately active and there was fair demand for the finer grades of western grown wools. Wools suitable for woolen purposes were very quite.
 There was little business in mohair and practically to activity on carpet wools. Some large orders for wool tops were placed during the past two weeks, but this week very few orders were booked.
 Prices were slightly lower. The demand for woolen goods has slightly increased and the increase noted in the clothing trade during February, as compared with Jan uary, has continued, to some ex- tent, through March. Woolens suit able for women's wear are moving very slowly.
 Prices on the finished cotton goods have been maintained in the face of a weakness in the mar ket in the market for raw mater ials and moderate sales have been rported of the staple lines in the primary markt. The New England
