rising high 25 per cent. There has been modG-
cation in the kind OF demand compared with previous
the costlest goods receiving much less atten

been general, every department showing extension
of activity gratifying in face OF the diminished
prices. The Summer trade well kept up. and is not
expected TO fall of seriously till the last part Of this

report that their retail trade from February to July
has compared well with that Of last year. The returns
have been reasonable ana the mouse has been able to
buy goods much lower than in other years that toll

goods of highest price have been lightly sought In com

grades generally avoiding the finest grades which were
laid in last FAN. Heavy purchases of cheap goods at
the large downtown sales forced the depression met
