WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE CONDITIONS Condition of (he Markets as Told in Dun's Weekly Review of Trade and Finance. Measured by every important test tbe volumn of business is larger than at the corresponding period last year, and it is gradually expanding, the re ports from the leading trade centers during the week being especially . cheerful. There Is apparently no de cisive change in basic conditions, and the increased activity recently shown is due to the fact that shelves are practically empty, and the immediate needs of a growing population, even on a more economical basis, are presshm for supply. Tims, witli little or no speculative anticipation of the future, a volume of business is being trans acted, which, although below full pro dltCtive capacity, is nevertheless large. This appearance of Increased activity is particularly shown in the dry goods H ades, in most of tin brain lies of which, and particularly in cottons, a brisker movement is reported, and more mills are resinning production. Woolens are also in fair demand and the clothing, millinery and other kin tied branches appear to he doing well. An Increasing activity is also report ed in shoes and the sales of leather make up a respectable total. The lat est government crop reports indicated sonn; Improvement in both wheat and corn and, while the yield of both will be less than anticipated earlier in the year, supplies will he ample, while the excellent cotton crop has shown a re markably early development. Export trade continues of large proportions, the volume of foreign commerce at New York during the latest week amounted to $32,904,132 against $30. 074,541 in 1910 and $28,446,962 in 1909. The exports were $17,148,165, being $1,392,198 in excess of the imports. The resumption of operations by some large cotton mills Indicates a more encouraging mill position. Pric es on cotton goods and Other mer chandise are close. AC A ticks. 8-oz, have been reduced 1 cent per yard: southern denims, 9-OZ, ]-cent. and eastern, 9-OZ. denims are held at lCVi cents. At the lower prices there is more disposition shown bv retailers to operate. Some fair-si'e 1 orders have been placed for host and belting duck and staple prints are being or dered freely by western jobbers. There is a steady business in napped cottons and retailers display more disposi tion to order wash ?oods sind cotton dress fabrics for spring delivery. Ex port trade is slightly less active, but continues well ahead of bist year, and as the market for raw material declines, a tendency to expand pro duction is noted. The demand for double-faced frabrlcs in dress goods and men's wear continues a note worthy feature In woolen goods, and activity is shown in the demand for staple serges. The grain markets are steady: the slight Improvement indicated in the condition of wheat by the final gov ernment report was anticipated, and while the yield is estimated as slight ly below last year's, in both winter and spring wheat, supplies will he am ple. Stocks are constantly increas ing. Western receipts this week are 6,479.781 bushels against 6,999,076 a year ago. and exports from all ports of the United States, Cow included, are 2,094,892 bushels compared with 2,024,848 In 1910. Corn conditions al so Improved last month, hut the yield will be somewhat less than in 1910. Receipts at western centers this week are 2,629,338 bushels compared with 2,666,175 a year ago, whlh Atlantic coast exports were only 334,377 bush els against 369,443 in 1910. The cot ton markets are quiet. Spot prices declined further below 10 cents. Port receipts continued largei and txports art? gaining. Drj (loads ami \\ dolens. Trading in cotton goods continues steady, although in moderate volume. The jobbing trades are now buying heavy cottons, both brown and color ed, more freely, and the adjustment of the market to the new low level of cotton is making satisfactory head way. During the week ACA ticks. 8-OZ were reduced from \2 ',?>(? to lL'^.c a yard, and P-oz southern denims were redheed from IZf?c to l8c. Eastern 9-OZ denims are held at HD/jc. There have been some fair-sized advance or ders placed for hose and belting duck, but buyers are not inclined to hurry forward business on wide duck as yet. Prlntclolhs rule generally easy, with moderate trading reported on some of the narrow and wide staples. Export trade Is quieter, but shipments are well ahead of the corresponding peri od of a year ago. Staple prints are being ordered with considerable free dom by some jobbers In the West and South, and the resumption of opera tions on the part of the Fall River Iron Works mills, feeders for the American Printing Company, was a feature of encouragement. As the cot ton market declines there is a strong er- disposition shown to Increase pro duction, as manufacturers lind the de mand at lower prices has broadened sufficiently to wan ant them in mak Ing preparations for steadier running. Retailers are doing a steady business on napped cottons and this is beihg reflected in demands upon primary fac tors that are not readily handled in the limited time allowed. There Is a!so> noted more disposition on the part of retailers to order wash goods and cot ton dress fabrics for spring delivery, showing a steady growth of confidence In the future of business, which was more or less lacking a few weeks ago. Cotton and Worsted Yards. Business in cotton yarns during the week was restricted to nearby or Im mediate requirements. Values showed a tendency to sag on account of the weakness displayed by the raw ma terial market. Worsted yarns are in fair request, spinners using the French system, There is still a wide differ ence In the quotations named. The market is Irregulnr. The Cotton Market. Further declines this week brought new low record prices for cotton on this movement. October options at one period touching 9.40 as against 14.40 ?it the corresponding time a year ago. Although reports of excessive rains throughout the belt were revolved tell ing of serious damage to the crop and hindrance to picking, they reccivod < little more than casual attention, for while they induced a covering move ment of some dimensions on the part Of the shorts and brought about some apparent strength, the upward move ment was not maintained. It was pointed out that any damage that might have occurred from these con ditions was more than offset by the al most ideal weather prevailing during the past four 01 five weeks, as reflect ed in the unprecedentedly large amount of cotton that has been pic k ed and harvested up to this date. While it is now generally conceded that this ; vein's crop will be far In excess of any previous record, there is a grow ing disposition on the part of the trade to regard present prices, which are about $2fi per bale below those ruling at this time a year ago, its fully dis counting any conditions likely to de press prices to a much greater extent. Those who favor higher values say that while receipts are undoubtedly heavy, indications are now appearing that there will be some falling off in this respect, ano thn the increasing disposition en the part of the southern planter to hold his cut ton is hound to have more or less effect. Moreover conditions in the cotton industry are improving and it is expectojl than an Increased demand from tho manufac turers will soon exert a favorable in fluence. That some consideration was given to these arguments was reflect ed in heavy purchases by several prominent interests, and late in the week there was more development of strength, which, while not very pro nounced, appeared to Indicate the ex istence of considerably more conn- 1 dence than has been noted for some time past.?Dun's Review.
