SATURDAY, April 1916 T. NJ
The trade movement during the week which has
just closed has been only fair, when regarded az
whole, though comparatively active In some de-
partments. The Spring business, though backward
and not SO excited as II Is sometimes won't TO be,
has been more steady and perhaps rather more
healthy since its commencement than Is usual. Be-

the entire Springs business will not lai behind
even though 1t does not exceed, that OF some
OF its predecessors. The unexpected, and
according to the undivided opinion OF
the mercantile public, wholly unnecessary

the material enhancement OF the gold premium or
any general belief in Its permanency. The business IN
dry goods hardware and kindred articles has been
fair during the week, prices showing comparatively
few and unmporant fluctuations, while the movement
in breadstufs very slow, at prices which, showing
but h.tle change, still unsatisfactory alike
to buyer and seller, Provisions have found
