HATS CAPS AND CLOTHING. business
is dull, but the trade of the season
has been about up to the expectations of
jobbers. Our dealers in this line have kept
up their large stocks, well assorted, of the
latest styles and best qualities, and are
fully meeting the wants OF merchants Wis
iting this market. In prices and stocks our
city compares favosably with any in the
West.
Doors AND SHOES - Trade is fair,
but country merchants are buying light,
making small bills; but the greater num-
Der makes the aggregate sales about up to
the corresponding season last year. Stocks
are well kept up, and prices continue
steaiy. In the East tae supply is light and
the market firm.
Observation-Disclosures better last week
than anticipated. The competition in this
branch of trade for some weeks past has
attracted attention to our city, and brought
trade which has generally gone to other
places Louisville and Cincinnati Queens
ware men regard the competition as very
silly, but are finding IL hard to hold their
customers against the attractions of the
low prices offered by our houses. But COM
petition. while it is the life OF trade, may
be carried~to ruirous results. We think,
however, tnat our Queensware firms are
composed of men sufficiently prudent not
to jeopardize their interests to any serious
