Bradstreot 's Weekly Review of Trade says: The year opens with a tone of quiet confidence prevading nearly all branches of business with encouraging actvity in the iron trade, a resumption of work by many thousands of Industrial employes in western gla.ss industry, a largely reduced volume of business failures as compared with corresponding periods ill preceding years and a general outlook certainly not inferior to any previous year at this time. While the volume of distribn- tivo business isnolarger industrial aclivity is a special feature unconfined to any one section, but especially noted in the west. He.iumpUon Ot work after the holiday.s has lieen generally encouraging in that section. Hank failures in I8y7 followed the general tendency of bu.siness morUility in nil other lines of business.

The rei)utation of tho banking community for conservatism, however, is borne out by tlv relatively heavier falling off In the number of fa'i- ure.s and the reduced volume of liahlli! of banks and trust companies, n.s ici pared with preceding years, than in orui- nary commercial circles.
