FAIR REPORTS REGARDING MANUFACTURES Dlat ribnt loa of Mrlrhaadlae larreas. iaa and Liberal Orders for Spring Goods Are Reported from the West and flonth. NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-R. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: 1 . Reports of Improvement on the volume of business outnumbered unfavorable dis patches, although the situation Is decid edly Irregular. As the money market be comes easier there Is better prospect of postponed work being resumed. Ail struc tural lines are Iargeiy dependent upon tnu ability of -the railroads 10 horrow money and the restoration of confidence among Investors. Only fair reports are receivea regarding the leading manufacturing lines. Many iron and steel plant, have resumed, but the preceding curtailment wua very severe. Textile fabrics are as badly unsettled as ever, lower prices for new lines of wool ens proving a disugrueable surprise to the many annul operators, and speculation In cotton tendering forwurd contracts for goods an Impossibility. Distribution ol merchandise lucreaaes with mure normal weather, and clearing houses report liberal orders for spring goods troni salesmen at the west and south. Only a moderate Improvement, hss ap peared thus tar In the demand for Iron and steel products, although the resumption of idle plants has attained encouraging proportions. In so far as pig iron is con cerned, the week has brougnt a slightly lower range of prices, without stimulating Inquiries, and most departments report no change in the attitude or purchaser, which Ih one of waiting for more attractive terms. This disposition is especially conspicuous as to steel rails, consumers Irsistiiig that the prices should change in response to the lower cost of materials. In this connection It should be remembered that the leading' producers maintained steel rails at 82S with out any advance, while Bessemer pig iron rose ironi $15.75 in l:'l to $22. S5 early last year, and other gr .des of pig Iron advanced even mote sharply. Hence, it Is not sur prising that there ts an effort to continue stability, although It is true that lite re action In pig Iron has carried Bessemer down to $13. 3. Ijtrge sales of scrap iron and steel have brought greater strength and wire products are quoted at $1 a ton higher. Conservatism still marks the course of both buyers und manufacturers of cotton goods. I'ndoulitedly the consumption Is gaining on production, but there is no In clination to anticipate requirements. More moderate advances 111 Quotations are linked by the mills and smaller orders are being pJaced, quick delivery being asked In every Case. Footwear buyers have appeared In the Boston market and are placing liberal or ders for spring delivery in the south and west, while tuking some samples of fall shoes. Hides are more active, and prices firmly maintained, with some advances, especially in foreign dry hides. .Failures this week numbered 324 In the United States, against 267 last year and twenty-four In Cttnada, compared with thirty-eight a year ago. SPRING TRADE IS L1VEMNG IP. Industrial Situation, Shows Improve ment In Iron and Steel. NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Bradstreefs to morrow will suy: Though not thoroughly opened yet, ex fept at the southwest, apring trade is be ginning to liven up and this, coupled with a large volume 01 clearanavs sales by re tailers, gives an appearance of activity to midwinter operations. The industrial sit uation allows Improvement particularly in , Iron and steel mill resumptions and In the I Luttlng Into blast of more coke 'furnaces, title or no friction seems to attend num erous wage reductions scheduled for tho current month, and though ' weather condi tions are a bur to activity in outside work, an active spring Is looked for in this line. While war talk and weather conditions have operated to raiseirtcea of food prod ucts the unquestionubl improvement In the tone of trade la the mainspring of the up ward spring In prlciM' of Iron and steel, and the prices' in leather,1 while the advance in textile goods.. helped "raise, the general values of staple products to, close to the highest for a year past and 37 per cent above the low point of 1K96, though 7 per cent below 4he highest point of 1900. The iron trade Is Irregular, but on the whole a favornble view Is taken of condi tions and outlook. Production Is down to1 the minimum of the past five years, though current resumption may swell the output slightly. A sale of 20,000 tons of steel rails for Turkey Is reported, wire is strong and barb wire and nails have been advanced. Tinplates are more setlve. there Is more Inquiry for , structural and old material and steel scrap are higher. American rail buyers are out of the market, because It Is said CanadlaV railroads are getting rails cheaper than on this side ot tne line. Copper, lead and tin are all higher on reported goon oemann. Stocks of cotton goods are small. r.ew season men s wear wooiens are opening at slightly lower prices than a year ago. Wool is steady, but ouiet, a good year Is expected in the shoo trade, wnicn nas oeen benefited by tne last severe weainer.
