April 22. Bradstreet's tomorrow will sav: "Weather conditions and the unsettled outlook for prices of many commodities are the causes assigned for tho quieter tone of trade In many linos. Retail business, and. to a certain extent, reorder re-order demand from Jobbers, was affected by Lho return, early In the week of wintry win-try weather. These Influences were, however, largely temporary, and were largely offset by the decided benefit to the crop outlook generally by the breaking break-ing of the drought. "Doubt as to ultimate crop out-turn Is given ns the main reason for buying for fall falling to take definite form, but there Is also recognition of the fact that uncertainly on the future prices of many commodities Is a drag on trade. In a number of lines the evidence of arrested demand or pressure to realise prior to new crops are visible In easing prices. "The situation In the cotton goods trade, where prices are still stendy. however, how-ever, Is, and has been, a bar to active buying. Retailers are reported Inclined to buv only for absolute wants, and present cost of production of coods renders ren-ders the manufacturing lino uuprotllablc at present prices.

For tho forty-two weeks ending April 21. exports ex-ports are 120,172,193 busbeis, against 149.637.9S3 In the corresponding period of last, year." Dun '8 Trade Review. NEW YORK. April 22. R. G. Dun & C'o.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say; While business sentiment is distinctly optimistic whorover the process of extracting ex-tracting eight or nlno billions of new products out of the soil Is carried on. there Is confusion and uncertainty in financial markets. The sevoro depression on bonds, tho pressing needs of London, the continued large exports of gold from New York and heavy merchandise Imports Im-ports Into the United States, the overproduction over-production in pig iron, coke and copper, leading to talk of curtailment of operations opera-tions and some hositalion caused by the remarkable political developments both In England and tho United Stales, produce pro-duce confusion of opinion as to tho Immediate Im-mediate future. Yet there has been a notable abatement abate-ment of tho recent unrest of labor, wit It advances In wages by important corporations. cor-porations. The crop prospects arc on the whole considered to bo excellent and are Improving. The recent weather, while, causing some damage in places, has. by Incrensod moist ure. been very beneficial elsewhere. There has been somo readjustment read-justment of prices to a more normal basis. This causes considerable irregularity irregu-larity In the textile industries, vol on the whole the dry goods trade, while conservative. conser-vative. Is confident of a good year. A bettor feeling prevails In tho wool trade. In a number of Important centers tho business activity Is reported to be up to full capacity, whllo In others, whero conditions con-ditions arc loss favorable Improvement Ik noted. The shoo trade continues gradually to expand. Buyers of cotton goods aro inclined to await devclopmontH in raw colton before operating on eonvnrtlblo and other fabrics. fa-brics.
