Bradtreet to morrow will say: Trade and Industrial developments are largely favorable and conservative optimism predominates. Joblng trade Includes ad vices of a quieting Spring demand at large Eastern canters with attention turning to late Summer and Fall trade, but of an Im provement nearer points of finsl distribu tion, except In the Lower Mississippi Val ley, where high water holds back agricul tural operation and retard aalee to coun try merchants. Kaatern trade has been Ir regular, but fair on the whole, and gen erally better than last year. Industrial feattirea are the continued idle ness of coal miners, the quieting down of th. textll. labor situation, and the pros pects of an expenditure for building for the first quarter not much behind last year, but with a majority of cltlc still report ing decreases.
