G. Dun & i Co.’s weekly review of trade to-morrow will say: Recent gains in the volume of busi- ness are fully maintained, but further | improvement is somewhat retarded by | unfavorable weather in some sections. | Buyers are still arriving at the leading cities placing additional spring orders, and most fall lines that have been opened are meeting with an encourag- ing reception. Despite occasional re- quests for extensions, collections are more prompt on the whole. Manufacturing returns are all that could be desired, building operations expand as the season advances and ag- ricultural prospects are better than normal. There is little friction between capital and labor, most new wage scales being arranged on the old basis, and in some cases advances are grant- ed, while the number of unemployed is steadily decreasing. Freight traffic is very he@vy, some congestion occur- ring, and rallway earnings in March were 9.2 per cent larger than last year. Foreign commerce at this port is very heavy, the exports for the last week exceeding the same week in 1904 by $1.590,709, while imports Increased $i,- 975,296. Increased activity is noted in the hide market. Commercial fallures this week'in the United States are 232, against 244 last week, 235 the preceding week and 235 the corresponding week last year. Failures in Canada number 28, against 33 last week, 16 In the preceding week and 29 last year. NEW YORK, April T.—Bradstreet’s to-morrow will say: Grain crops, trade and industrial re- ports are in the main favorable, ex- ceptions being noted in the South, where cotton planting is backward and a reduced acreage is expected, and at a few points In the West, where in- clement weather and bad roads tend to check the otherwise full tide of spring activity. ‘Western merchants who earlier in the season bought conser- vatively are now reordering freely. Money continues easy at most points. Collections show improving tendencies, though miany cities report them only fair. Gross railway earnings for March indicate a gain of 9 per cent over a year ago. Relatively the best reports come from the great West, the buoyancy of the advices from which is in marked contrast with the same period a year ago. Estimates of the quarter's busi- ness at the leading Western markets | range from 5 to 15 per cent gain over 1904. Uniform good trade reports come from the Pacific Coast. Measures of recently past trade and financlal operations point to an enor- mous turn over in the first quarter of 1905. Faflures in the United States for the week ending April 6 number 170, { against 267 last week and 201 last year. Failures in Canada for the first | quarter of 1905 number 378. ‘Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending April 6 are 336,017 bushels, against 988,630 last week and 1,854,000 bushels this week last year.
