IlradstreUMujKjWsomo of tho lrroff
nlaritios aro Vffciblo in tho genoral trado
and industrial situation, tho results of
tho working of counter ourronta in va
rious lines, but, taken aa a wholo, th
general outlook retains tho most on
coitraglng features notod for so mo tlm
past in tlieso colnmea. Favorable re
ports as to retail distribution and as to
collections come from Southern, West
ern and Northwostorn markets, duo to
better weather. Advances in wagoa of
soft coal miners, of atovo moldcra, arid
of othor workers alllod to tho iron and
steel industry would seem to point to
labor conditions retaining most of tha
favorable features which havo recently
mado them features of favorable re
mark. Sugar ia higher, mainly owing to tho
growing strength of raw material.
Wheat and corn, among tho broad
atuffg, have been weaker, reflecting an
other ono of those short swings in
prices which havo been o feature of tho
former market, but also expected hoavy
shipments from Argentina and good es
timated crop reports from the South
and West. In tho Central West, wheat
crop advices aro disappointing, com
plaint of winter killing moro than off
setting increased acreage.
Wool remains one of tho soft spots in
the market, and though a llttlo moro
business has been done this week than
last, concessions are easier to obtain
and prices are quotably lower.
Wheat, including flour, shipments
for tho week aggregato 2,003,405 bush
els, against 2,727,450 bushels lost
week, 8,704,701 bushels in tho corre
sponding week of 1809.
Business failures foi the week in the
United States number 192, aa compared
with 190 last week.
