EBB? waa helped a good deal by the reduction In broken' loana of IS87.000.000 In the period from the middle of Feb ruary to tha middle of April. "During April, the net trend of trade, aa reflected In the weekly and monthly returns, showed a slight sag from March In value of sales, some of which may have been due to one business day lesa figur ing lo (lie reports for April aa op posed to March, but mainly because unseasonable weather held down fi nal distribution. " "As compared with a year ago, wholesale trade showed a gain. whereas retail trade showed rather loss favorably. Even here a dis tinction must be drawn between the reports aa to mail order, chain store and department atore sales, which shoved best results, wbereaa reporta aa to small retail trade were lesa favorable. Industry seemed on the whole to maintain the superiority over a year ago, and over trade! distribution proper, noted in earlier months. Failures were more nu merous than a year ago la April, and the number of bank suspen sions, most of these In rural dis tricts, remained quite large. "Col lections showed up relatively less favorably than did actual trade. "Weather conditions made for a very mixed set of crop reports as the month advanced. The southwest and northwest almost exactly (hang' ed places as compared with a year ago. Plentiful moisture In Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, whera a year ago It was lacking, caused some very optimistic estimates of winter wheat to issue from the three states mentiooedi the first two predicting record yields.

"In purely trade lines," Mr. Oreeue writes, "something like a 'stsp down' was seen.- or, If thla Is not exactly accurate. It may be aald that weather conditions prsvenred the derided 'step up' that waa hoped tor. Industry also moved Irregular ly us witnessed for one instance In a new high peak for a year being made In pig Iron production, where aa steel mill operations and pig Iron end some steel quotations declined from the March lovel. "Building, too, showed a sag In value of permits taken out; export trade In grain and cotton conliuued to shrink, aa Md prices for those products: and an agreement to cur tall southern cotton mill operations waa reported, this latter line showi Ing a alight net decline la foods prices while silks and woolens and their raw materials sagged in price or In output. "Automobile production showed a slight decline from the output of March. "Finally, the general level of all commodities. Influenced by rubber, textiles, leather, naval stores and lumber, went lower. "On the favuruhle side it might but the net trend was downward,! although the congested condition ot'ty that delivery promised speculative' flreworka at one time.
