Weekly Review of Trade and Latest Market Reoorti Bradstreet'a says: Weather conditions have been Ir regular, but the arrival of a cold wave following unseasonably mild temperatures has stimulated retail trade North, West and East, and even helped buslL-ese at the South at somo points, though holding of cotton and low prices therefor have tended to check buying In the cot ton belt as a whole. Collections have shared in the trregnlarlty In trade, and there Is noticeable more complaint m to these Uian to busi ness generally, more particularly at the South. Heavy wearing apparel, shoes and coal have been helped by climatic developments. Holiday trade, too, shows signs of expansion, and comparisons with a year ago In all lines are naturally In favor of current business. In some lines of wholesale trade there are evidences of more qnlet conditions. Thus in raw wool, leather and some lines of cottons and iron and steel there la rather less doing, partly because of large business recently booked; part ly because of a desire to see what tha natl mnntll nr no wilt bring forth, and also because at recent ad vances In many prices.
