Dun's weekly review of trade says: “Speculative activity in raw materials is not present to discourage new business.

False starts are to be feared; but the dangerous optimism of last autumn is lacking, and new business is at lower prices. Failures for the week were 231 in the United States, against 151 last year, and twen-ty-eight in Canada, against twenty last year.”
