Pun & Company's "Weekly Review of Trade," Bays: "Further sllBht Improvement Is noted in the volume of trade, and con fidence In the future Is also greater, but progress is slow. Buyers have attended the primary and jobbing markets in large numbers, placing fair orders for spring goods, although the disposition is still to restrict opera; tions to small quantities upon which prompt shipment Is usually urged. Manufacturers anticipate early sup plementary orders, however, as the pressure for quick delivery Is con sidered Indorsement of the general be- Her that stocks are low. "Gradually the volume of new busi ness " Increases In the steel and Iron Industry, although most orders are for small quantities. About one-half of the capacity of steel mills of the lead ing interests la now In operation, whereas when the year opened the active percentage was scarcely more than one-quarter and many other mills will resume after next week. "A more hopeful tone Is noted In the spot department rjf the cotton goods industry, although production is still curtailed. "There la no difficulty In securing prompt delivery In nearly all lines, as It Is found that many mills are car rying a larger surplus than was sup posed. Some bulk business has been done In men's wear woolens, but most buyers, limited Initial operations to rample pieces. In fancy worsteds fair orders were placed. "New England footwear manufac turers report trade still backward orl the whole. As a rule purchases are of small quantities against which Is the encouraging offset of such urgency for quick shipment that supplementary contracts may be expected. Russia calf, Foine varieties of black calf, and heavy soles are taken freely, but most sections of the leather market show no great activity. The demand from wholesalers who supply cobblers Is unusually heavy. Belting butts and harness leather continue weak and dull. Hides are quiet, with quotations generally lower. MARKERS. PITTSBURG.
