Collections continue good. In dry goods, no
tons, millinery goods, ETC., there are no changes
of prices here since last report. In groceries
the features OF the week are advances of 4

coffees, and sharp advance of K@Ac on all
grades of sugars. An advance of SOC
has been established for white lead.
In metals, hardware, ETC., prices are
solid. Prices of leather are very firm, and the
prospect of an advance is strong. In
other lines prices are uniformly steady and few
changes are expected before about the opening
of fall trade.
