DRY COOP BUSINESS.

The late seasons have nearly been
the ruin of the spring trade fer the
last two years, running it close upon
the summer. There has been the
usual slight advance of prices, CON-
mon at the very opening of the sea-
son, and the few early buyers who
are after the worm, merely look
round and price goods, anticipating
that figures will be lower in a short
time. A member of one of the lead
ing houses here confessed to-day. it
was no use to deny hat trade was
going beyond New York to the West.
1t is useless to expect this city longer
to hold the position Of the metropo-
lis OF trade. The country is too
large for it. Chicago and st. Louis
