By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 1.-Dun & Brad
street, in its review of the weeks con-
ditions, published today. said the
trend in leading lines of trade was
still generally uncertain.
mo changes of constructive sig
nif1cance occurred in the leading in
dustrial divisions this week. While
manufacturers eXerted more than
their usual efforts to obtain new or
ders, it was found that distributors
were not anticipating requirements
for any extended period" the review
said.
"Quickening of demand was more
apparent in many of the principal
wholesale markets. While numerous,
orders were for small quantities, de-
spite the fact that the majority of
stores were working on low inventories
and had yet to accumulate peak
Easter stocks Purchases were lin
tied to immediate needs. Few COM
mitments were placed for late spring
and early summer, almost none for fall
requirement" it continued.
The estimated wholesale volume
dropped Is to 20 per cent below the
corresponding 1887 week.
On retail trade, the review reported
that only few sections of the coun-
try had an unbroken stretch of clear,
warm weather to accelerate spring
merchandise movement, adding:
las these gains were too small to
erase the losses in other parts, aver
age retail sales in the leading centers
OF distribution were unchanged from
those tor the preceding week.
"As comparison was made with the
postmaster period a year ago, drops
were shortened for all districts, the
estimated volume of retail distribution
going but to II per cent under that
for the corresponding 1887 week,
taking the country as whole"
