ternational mercantile agency through
out the United States show that spring
trade, now about completed, has fallen
10 or 15 per cent behind the total vol
ume distributed in the first two months

at New York, but merchants find the
movement of dry goods, clthlng, shoes
and groceries about equal to that of
a year ago. but at St Louis and Louis
ville there are gains this year over
last Minneapolis and St Paul report
that the northwest is very conserva
tive, and that business is about 10 per
cent less than in March last, while at
Philadelphia the falling off in metals
and some other lines is as much as 2Q
per cent Pittsburg has felt a like de
cline, but says recent large purchases
point to the .long-waited turn in the
tide. -
Special inquiry as to winter wheat
shows that east of the Mississippi re
cent weather conditions have been fav
orable. Larger New York city con
