Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: Fuel shortage Is still the one seriously dis- turbing element in the industrial situation. Transporting facllities have been - diverted from other merchandise to the disadvantage t shippers, yet fron furnaces are unatle to | mecure sutficient supplies of coke and many other manufacturing plants are closed because of inadequate coal deliveries. Mines are more fully operated, but there Is no prospect of nor-, mal conditions until spring. Extremely low temperature during the past week stimulated distribution of heavy clothing and other sea- sonnble goods. Retail trade was accelorated by the customary clearance sales, especially in Traveling men are sending in large orders for spring goods, the volume of advance business sur- passing the customary amount for this time of year. Quiet conditions in the fron and steel mar- kets do not mean dullness or diminishing con- sumption, but merely the oversold condition of furnaces and mills, together with great un- certainty about keeping plants active on a day-to-day supply of fuel. Inquirfes are nu- merous, especially in structural Ilines, but makers are not ready to accept bids until the future appears more definite. New plans con- stantly come forward for large office Lulld- ings, notably at the West, which means vi; orous consumption of structural steel, demands from car builders are phenomenal, Practically the entire u?l&fl}' of the leading plants is already booked/for slx months, and at many concerns the last half of the year Tl bring no idleness unless orders are can- celed. Eastern manufacturers of. footwear are fully employed on epring shoes, but new orders are light for later delivery, although Western ob- bers purchase freely of fall sampl Quiet conditions in leather have been succeeded by an Increased demand for hemlock sole and standard upper, shoe manufacturers placing liberal orders. Last week's slight recovery in the hide market was not sustained. Dry goods trading has increased in volume, buyers o riving In greater numbers, and the prospect favors still more activity In the latter half of the month. In the woolen goods division the opening of plece dyes was made at an advance, but not as much as some sellers anticipated. Only moderate fluctuations have occurred in the great staples, with the tendency upward and a conspicuously firm tone in evidence. Higher prices have been cl for refined sugar. and raw grades are firm. but wenkness is the feature in coliee, OWIng to excessive supplies at all polnts. Failures for the week numbered 267 In the United States, against 334 last year, and 83 in Canada, compared with 40 a year ago, '——_\.. Bradstreet's on Trade. —— NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Bradstreet's to-mor. row will say: With the much needed expansion fn export trade now actively in evidence, one of the few important missing elements of national pros. perity has been supplied. Export trade in De- cember proved to be better than anticipated, and so far in January only encouraging ele- ments have developed. The domestic situation also gains rather than loses in strength. While the regular spring trade can hardl have opened, activity is steadily Ha‘;.f:‘xfl i The volume of shipments of spring goods is evidence of the desire of consumers and distrib- utors to obtain possession of goods Re- tail trade In winter goods has been maintained at a good volume by the very generally dif- fused lower temperature. In only a few scat- tered Instances s there any complaint of retail stocks being at all b‘uvy Confidence Temain ex. this being where shortages in coal, due to rail- way congestion, limit production, as in the case of soft coal and coke in the West. The strength of leading agricultural staples, notably wheat, corn and oats among the ce- reals, cotton among the textiles and hog prod- ucts among provisions, has been the feature of the price situation. Wool is strong and avail- sble supplies are closely held. Machinery ls well employed on spring and summer goods for men's wear. Despite much semi-bearish talk and holding off of buyers, the iron and steel situation loses little of its old strength. It is nohled also that forelgn markets are on the whole firmer. Lumber notes considerable interest and ac- tivity for an ordinarily dull period. The great mass of staple prices senml:y maintain undiminished strength, notably in this respect being hides, which are quoted a trifle higher, and leather, which is firm at pre- vailing quotations. Copper holds nearly all of the advance recently gained, despite bearish statistical features. Eastern shoe shipments show slight gaine from a vear ago, and manu- facturers are quite busy, although complaints of the all margins of profits are still univer- sal. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending January 15 aggregate 4,868,624 bushels, against 5,096,951 last week, 4,800,202 in thi; weck a year ago, and 8,328,004 in 1901, Wheat exports since July 1 ai te 140,- «0.8;)37 bushels, against 158,004,384 las and 107,210,966 in 1900.

Milling, $1 4".’?@1 w‘;.zrncom g slow but steady decline In this grain is a surprise to many, for the cold dry weather ought to cause an advance. The reasons for the decline are said to be, first, the | utter lack of demand, and second, the convic- { tion that the current dry weather will be fol- lowed by rain, which will send prices down with a run. Hence dealers are discounting the weather. Cash grain is very dull, the dealers reporting an entire absence of demand.
