Bradstreet's Review
of Trade for the Week.
Backward Spring Weather
Retarded Distribution.
Now York, April 13 ?Bradatreet's
tomorrow will say : Backward spring
weather conditions have figured con
eiderably in distributive trade reports
this week, and, in connection with
some weakness in prices of leading
staples, have imparted an appear*
arjce of irregularity to the generai
situation Another one of those
downward swings In the prices of
agricultural staples is exhibited this
week in slightly lowered prices for
the cereals, partly because of the
bearish position of immediate sup
plies and partly because of the better
than expected government crop re?
port, which is taken to indicate a
possible winter wheat yield in excess
of all records The crop outlook as
a whole favors the expectation of
large yields of wheat, corn and cot?
ton. Corn and oats have sympathized
with the reaction in pork products,
which reaction, however, has not
been universal, as shown by the fact
that lard is at the highest point
reached on the present boom. Cotton
exports in March were three times
those of a year ago in value and for
seven months are 7 per cent greater
in value, while 23 per cent smaller in
quantity.
Evidences accumulate that active
missionary work in favor of lower
prices for iron and steel is at last
bearing fruit. Pig iron is no lower
and atocks as a whole are claimed to
be no larger than a month ago, but
steel products have weakened notice
ably daring the week, billets noting
the sharpest decline, with correspond?
ing decreases in some other products.
The other metals show little change
on the week, copper being in con?
tinued good demand and firm, while
tin is speculatively weaker and lead
is strong at previous prices The
hardware trade return* good reports
as a whole, relatively best advices
coming from western distributive
centres
A slight upward swing in cotton is
tc be noted this week and southern
mills have officially advanced prices.
On the other hand, while the mills
are active on old orders new busi
dobs is reported of smaller volume
dome more ioquiry is noted in raw
wool, without, however, affecting
values appreciably. The strength of
raw sugar is a reflection ch'efjy of
the fact that a considerable shortage
is looked for in the supplies of cane
sugsr, not only In Cuba, but in the
far east. The msrgin between raw
and refined allows of no profit at
present quotations. Anthracite coal
is rather weak at the decline showo
from the winter list price, but bitu?
minous is strong and active, particu?
larly on foreign account

READY FOR WAR.
Managua, Nicaragua, March 26 ?
The warlike movements which for
several months past have been
going on in three of the Central
American states, Salvador and Costa
Rica on the one side, and Nicaragua
ou the other, large numbers of men
being impressed into the army of
each state and drilled daily have
reached a condition of completeness.
But the indications now sre thst
there will be no war at present or in
the near future, owing, in part to the
fact that while Salvador has much
the largest and best equipped and
drilled army, there' is danger that if
the war is commeoced by Salvador, a
strong revolution will develop in that
country against President Regalado
or that if Nicaragua takes the initi?
ative and attempts to attack Salvador
'the people of that country will unite
as one man in support of President
Regalado aud Costa Rica will invade
Nicaragua from the south.
The United States minister to
Costa Rica. Nicarauga aud Salvador,
William L Merry, is at present
temporarily residing in Managua
He is having frequent conferences

which is said to be the peaceful
