tomorrow will say: UnseasonaTuy
cold weather still hampers trade aim
crop developments though they? Is a
slight improvement noted in tho later
direction becauso of the receipt of
ample moisturo in the southwest. Re?
tail business has been chiefly affect?
ed so fnr, but jobbers and wholesalers
report that April trade as a whole
does not equal that, of April a year
ago, though tho volume or business
for tho four months period Is in
excess ol 1906.
Collections are likewise showing
some effects of delayed trade, whlto
improving weather conditions have
been temporarily favorable. Reports
as to advance orders booked for fall
are quite encouraging in excess of
tliis time a year ago, In fact?though
a few lines note hesitation as to the
hooking far ahead. Industry, as a
whole, is actively engaged; May 1
strikes, largely confined to building
trades, do not appear nearly as ser?
ious as In previous years and the
tone In the Iron and copper trades
appears somewhat stronger and a
greater disposition to book freely for
the last half being noted In pig Iron.
On the other hand, the leather trades
are quiet as a whole, though more has
been done In some lines owing in
output being restricted, and hided
are firmer.

In the first place there Is tho

Germany the reductions or duty au?

per bottle would consequently amount
to a little over $1S.(>00, which Is tho
monetary value of the concession to
Germany, supposing the trade does
not greatly Increase as of course Is
to be expected.
