Trade Situation Shows Modest Week of Gains and Hesitation
New York January 2 RK & Don & Co s Weekly Review of Trade notes improvements are more apparent than real as prices rise on tighter supplies. Senate paralysis and shaky treasury forecasts cloud business. A new loan is expected to pass though payments may strain finances. Wheat futures edge up on speculative demand despite weak Western receipts. Exports for the week run higher than last year, yet the crop year total remains about 11 460 000 bushels below last year. Western receipts surge 27 percent since the season began, while foreign demand is not seen rising to match. Bank clearings table from Bradstreet shows city percentages of increases or decreases versus last year.
