HATS AND CAPS AND CLoTHING.-Mer-
chants in these lines of trade have had
their share of business during the week,
and are buoyant in spirits. They find
their styles and qualities of goods giving
excellent satisfaction, and experience
little difficulty in meeting the wants of
their customers. They have learned the
necessity of working on small margins,
and, consequently, are able to offer in
ducements that must secure trade.
Doors AND SHoES.-We have nothing to
add to our report of last week. A good
business is reported by our jobbers the
past week, and the indications for the
spring season are very good. The Western
trade, which has been accustomed to go to
New York has been kept nearer home by
the long delay in opening business, and
Cincinnati and Evansville are reaping the
benefit of it. Prices here are maintained.
and will be for so ne time, for the stock in
the supply market isyery light and in
the article of serge goods an advance has
been established, owing to the increased
duty placed upon wooden goods by the
last tariff. Stagnation in business, and
lower wages, may. aftera while, have the
effect to lower prices by manufacturers.
QUEENsWARE.-An the houses report a
good trade. There has been a material
decline in prices in a leading article, ow-
ing to an ill-timedY spirit of rivalry and
competition, but as this is not likely to
prove satisfactory to customers, and profit
able to statesmen in the long run, we pre-
sumo the breeze viii soon be, past, and
shall not note the change in prices.
