Dun's Weekly Review of Trade
Improvement in trade outlook despite irregular weather and industry
Improvement is more in evidence this week though irregular weather and crop conditions and ebbs and flows in trade prevent a definite general characterization. In House trade with jobbers and wholesalers is not usually active this season despite clearance efforts, liberal advertising, and bales. Optimism for the distant future contrasts with reports of weak immediate demand. Business failures in the United States for the week ending May 27 were 205, vs 219 last week and prior years. Canada failures numbered 22, vs 25 last week and 31 in 1908 same week.
