latest styles and best qualities. and are
fully meeting the wants of merchants Wis
! iting this market. In prices and stocks our
| city compares favorably with any in tne
| West.
Doors AND SHOES - Trade is fair,
| but country merchants are buying light,
| making small bills; but the greater MUM
| Der makes the aggregate sales about up to
the corresponding season last year. Stocks
| are well kept up, and prices continue
| steady. In the East the supply is light and
/ the market firm.
! QUEENswARE - Business is good as
far as demand is concerned, as our whole
| sale houses are having all they can do to
wait on their customers. But the market
| has been considerably "demOralized on
account of the spirit of rivalry and COM
petition, heretofore noticed, which has
had the effect to reduce prices of
some goods to figure much be-
low cost, and lower than the trade de-
mands.

has been satisfactory, with con-
tinued good demand. We continue our
