Bradstreet Review: mixed signals in March trade and finance
Bradstreet's notes retail trade expands where warmth aids demand while wholesale, industry, and new finance grow only haltingly. Distant buying shrinks, steel orders lag, and poor roads curb interior movement. Textile demand remains limited to immediate needs with some curtailment in New England. Bank clearings rise 14.8 percent. wheat and flour exports total 2,780,352 bushels, corn 134,301, with Canadian trade outlook brighter.
