Improvement in financial condition has
been a marked development In the last few
days, and to some extent ha been Accom
panied by a more ctlve trade dlatfibutlon,
Thl Improvement 1 reflected In the more
encouraging aspect of th Iron and steel
market. While production Is only half ca
pacity and there la no decided change In
conditions, yet there I. new export btulneas
of not nd Increased buying by the rail
roads. . Copper Is slightly weakor, because
stocks are heavy, notwithstanding the big
world consumption.
Many lurge drygood buyers have been tn
the primary market, but their Operation
are along conaervatlv. llnea A consider
able export trade ha been done with rM
Far Ea.t In the last seven weeks. Retailer
ar buying mor dresa good and wash fab
ric. Against these favorable features must be
et meetings of manufacturer to curtU pro
duction because of th Inability to secure
values for finished merchsndt. commen
surate with the cost of raw materials and
general cost of production. Men's wear
and dress goods ar gathering business for
Fall, yet complaints of clos. price r gen
era 1.
Footwear condition show a substantial
improvement. Orders for Spring delivery
are larger and New England manufacturers
In some caa hav accumulted a larger
resetve of orders than for many months.
There Is a mor. confident feeling all around
and the prospects for a ateady. normal busi
ness from now on re very encouraging.
There ha been a further easing off tn
price on certain varieties of hides, but tho
market haa failed to develop the weakness
that was expected. rome Improvement Is
shown In the leather market, with slightly
firmer tone as to price.

to be heavy, indicating that the 'new crop
movement from Australia and Argentina was
on in earnest.. Although the cal for cash
wheat here had dwindled to nothing, the

was weak and near the bottom. May ranged
from $1.00H 1.0014 to $1-01. closlngtao

off at 509 504c. Cash corn was higher
