SITUATION IS IRREGULAR
Hone kVket Eaiiet and Better Prospect

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.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Bradstreefs to

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

an active spring Is looked for in this line.
While war talk and weather conditions

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

cheaper than on this side ot tne line.

Such is the history of Irrigated Sections. Take
land that sells for 50 cents an acre, put water on it,
and it sells for what ? There are quarters of land in
irrigated sections of Colorado that cannot be purchased
for .
n
and which earn a remunerative interest on that val
uation. And yet you can purchase irrigated lands where
the soil is perfect beyond belief, where the water supply
is plentiful and inexhaustible, where climatic conditions
are healthful and exhilarating, where fuel is abundant
and cheap, for from $15.00 an acre up.

The North Platte Valley, extending from Bridge
port, Neb., to Guernsey, Wyo., and the Big Horn Basin,
Wyoming, have been but recently made available for
settlement by the extension of the Burlington Railroad
into those sections. The Irrigating Companies must
have settlers along their ditches, and they offer sub
stantial inducements in the shape of low priced water
rights and lands.

None may say surely, but it won't be for long,"
and the sooner you invest the cheaper will you be able -to
do so, for the advance is just as sure as has been ,
the advance in .the price ot similar lands in other U
sections.
