G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: Colder and wet weather the past week in many sections of the country retard retail trade In spring and.summer wearing apparel. Jobbers felt the effects in a lessened activity and agri- cultural operations made Irregular progress. Production of farm staples may not be cur- tailed by the later planting, although in some cases there will be greater danger of loss at the end of the season through early frost. Traffic conditions are steadlly impfoving, vet some complaints are still heard and furthe | additions to motive power and terminal facili- | tis€ must be made if another season Of con- gestion is to be averted at the next time of | pressurc. Raflway earnings thus far In Ap: 217 ril exceed 2 | last vear's by 12.5 per cent and those of 1001 i by 24.1 per cent. Several factors tend to deldy | the placing of contracts for pigiron deliverie: ! after July 1, which weakens the tone and It is 1t | reported that Bessemer is freely offered at §20, Valley Furnace, without attracting purchasers. { | Textile mills have not received any material | increase in amount of new business and thete | is evidence that the exceptionally heavy trans- actions of January and February provided suf- | ficlent supr for pregent needs.

NEW YORK, April 17.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will =ay: Wet weather has Yetarded retail trade and accentuated the quiet in textiles at wholesale as usual at this season. A beneficlal after effect of the Easter rush, however, is an improve- ment in collections. Export trade is still ex- panding, cotton and corn being leaders, and manufactured products are also going abroad in larger volume. Last year's record has ai- ready been surpassed. With improved trans- portation and better supplies of coke. iron pro- duction Is surpassing all records. This has re- sulted in some further weakness in pig, this, by the way, discouraging imports of foreign materials. On the other hand, finished products are in unprecedented demand, and foreign steel is arriving in increased volume to eke out do- mestic needs. Raflway earnings are the best | ever recorded for this season; gross receipts for March exceeding those of a year ago by about 14_per cent. The high price of cotton and the numerous labor troubles unsettled the demand for manu- tured goods. Men's wear woolen goods for fall delivery are reported backward, and raw wool has steadied slightly. The theory ad- anced last week that the sugar trade was grounding at the bottom has received support in the increased prices of raw and refined su- gar this week. Coffee has weakened In the absence of support from the dirgction noted last week, that of destroying low grade Bra- zillan supplies, and new record low prices have been touched by ‘‘futures.” PIg fron of all kinds moved lower this week. Copper is slightly higher on the week and other metals are steady, Silver is strengthened and this ‘week sold at the highest point reached in sev- eral years. Manufacturing is active the country over. Building is brisk, entalling a heavy movement of lumber, hardware, and glass. Leather is strong, in sympathy firmness in hides and with the general activity reported in shoe manufacturing throughout the country. Seasonable changes are responsible for a slight advance in butter. ‘Wheat, Including flour, exports for the week | Articles— Receip(s. sm":mflin:.a P - Flour, barrels . ! g 5 Corn, bushels . . 36, 399,000 | | Bradstreet’s on Trade. | Onts, bushels 187800 325, ! | Rye. bushels 14300 7 [ - ™ ng weak.
