advance was generally followed bv the jObbers,
while all descriptions of brown and colOred cot

strong. WOollens were moderately active in
first hands, but the clothing trade continued To
exercise unusual caution i'm their operations. and
their purchases were nOtceably small in amount

were well maintained. From a financial stand
