Dun's report of trade tomorrow will say: 1 Congress has adjourned after a very satisfactory session so far as trade and industry are concerned. No disturb ing legislation has been enacted to un settle the business situation.'ahd there is reason to look for much' benefit from the organization of a "department of commerce and labor. Numerous j labor troubles interrupt manufacturing, yet mills arid shops are producing freely as a rule. ' . Jobbers and wholesalers are busy, while spring retail trade has opened veryTwell in many lines, notably wearing apparel. Permits for building operations show large gains over last year's figures, giving additional strength to lumber and other materials. . Prices of commodities scarcely al tered in the aggregate during Feb ruary, Dun's index number - being $101,067 March 1, against ; $100,920 a month previous. Foreign trade con tinues' very heavy, imports of merchan dise at the port of New York for the last week exceeding those of the same week last year by $4,340,845.- The gain was especially notable In ; dry goods Collections are not always prompt, some sections reporting more. renewals than usual, but money is In ample sup ply for commercial needs. Low bank reserves at this city and. an advance in, call loans accelerated the decline in securities. The average of the sixty most active railway ", stocks lias fallen about $5 a share within three- weeks. Railway earnings are well" maintained. Conditions in the iron and steel In dustry need no "Othr elucidation than te plan- announced by the- United i. ites Steel Corporation. Preparations to ; extend $30,000,000 In increasing the facilities of plants under the control o fthis company suggest that prospects are bright for enlarged business, and the country's previous records of pro duction will be far surpassed. In the cotton industry the past week has . brought out a large quantity of new orders. Splnners.are growing very conservative in regard to " accepting contracts calling for-'distant. deliveries of cotton goods, owing to the extreme uncertainty as -to what the raw ma terial will ost. Even on present stocks there is an upward tendency in quotations, although -buyers are only filling immediate requirements, ' many expressing the belief that the advance in material will not be-maintained.
