DETROIT, MARCH. 10, 1917.
The Dry goods trade is evidently falling INTO
legitimate channel al last. Prices show few
changes aud the demand is seasonable. The
stock in the country 10 known TO be ample for
all requirements, and if further advances are
made they will be the result OF speculation
Even the heaviest jobbers now buy with caution.
The same cannot be said OF hardware, which Is
all excitement. When sheet and bar iron goes
up ga &c per Id. per week, nails u 625c per
keg. and tin 50@100c per box, il must be ex-
pected thas spectators will be active. As an
instance OF the way in which enterprise il al
fected by the new price of iron mention the
fact that, shipowner OF this city having neg
lected TO contract for the building OF engines
for a new propeller four or five weeks, now
finds he cannot get tho same without paying
$4,000. Lard oil and turpentine are each lower.
Flour rules quiet dull, in spite OF low stocks
here and scarcity at the East. IL is probable
that the opening OF navigation Will bring an
Improvement, meantime holders would shade a
little Wheat is feverish, just how the market
is gong in the course Of 30 days is puzzling
both bulls and bears. The stock grows larger
all the trme and y. Y duller. We're 1t not for
a demand from the Southwestern States, the
prospect would be poor indeed. The low rela-
! tive rates OF N. Y. and Liverpool have at such
time but an indirect influence on our market
and this is likely to be the case go long as spring
wheat keeps down and our winter wheat is
wanted south and west. Closing rates we're !:

NEW YORK MARKET.
NEW YORK, March IA, 1872.
Cotton rs weak at % &c. and very small guam
titles are changing hands The effect OF this
is seen in the disposition OF jobbersto let prices
remain where they are. Heavy brown sheet
ings are firm at 1a1@@15c, just where they were
week ago, and they being an acknowledged
standard of values, shows the condition Of the
market. Wool continues to advance, and the
heavy manufactures being generally 80 well
stocked that with the light demand for then
goods and fall market, they expect to be able
TO bridge over until the new crop OF wool comes
