During the greater portion of last week the stores

they were but little troubled with callers or orders
on account Of the Peace Jubilee. Since then there
has been considerable activity, and anticipate
cd last Wednesday, the dealers from all sections Of
the country who were present ssJubilee week" have
given quite an animated appearance to Pearl street,
which presents easing contrast with its previous
quetude. There are still great many purchasers
here from the Western States New York, st. Louis
Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Wheeling and New England.
The New York merchants and some heavy st. Louis
houses showed their hands at the close of the week.
The latter, besides purchasing largely, called for the
shipment OF goods previously ordered; the former
gave some new orders, and the New England trade
is now active for this OF the year. although
small lots appear TO be the order of the day. The
Western trade was in heavy Boots and Shoe, while
New York operated mostly in light goods for the
Southern market, purchasing also some heavy calf
goods for the Western States. The demand from the
latter has been greatly stimulated by the low rates
OF freight now ruling, and the goods shipped at
once tor the West and home. Prices in every in
stance are fully up to previous quotations. and there
is a. fair prospect OF an advance being realized az
business increases. Indeed, all the indications are
encouraging to manufacturers, and the market Is al.
