DRY GOODS,

In regard to the dry goods trade. the
the United States Economist says: The
southern trade is nearly over, and was not
up to expectation, Texas was the most
literally represented, and the merchants
from that portion Of the south We're the first
in the market The state is IN a prosperous
condition, rs the large crop OF cotton was
also supplcmt nted with Il good grain Weld
az compared with other seasons. The over
How OF the Mississippi and Its tributaries
had the effect OF lettering considerable
number of retail merchants in thos, locali-
ties from visiting this market for the pres
ent season. The retail trade from the Gulf
states and the Atlantic seaboard was not
up to expectation. The merchants from
those sections that visited this market
bo1ght sparrngly, and while they CON
Sldered the outlook promising, were not
disposed to buy to onlya moderate extent.
The trade 1T present IN market from the
south is chiefly from Virginia, North Caro-.
hna, kentucky, Tennessee and upper Geor.
gia.
The western trade has at present the
largest representation in the market. Re
tail merchants from Illinois, Indiana. Ohio
and Michigan are here in good numbers.
and are Mt work making their spring select
ions. They are very conservative and
cautious, and buy i'll view of frequent re
orders or coming again later on in the
season. The late uustea mess in prices on
some prominent staple fabrics only in
tcnsliieS this feeling OF caution, and has the
eHect Just opposite of what iubbers in
tended. Instead OF increasing sales IL re-
tards them, as buyers are quick to feel the
pulse OF the market, and il values weaken
they become demorali2ed and cannot be
induced to purchase freely. The weather
west has been cold, and this has been A
drawback to the trade so far, as merchants
are not liberal buyers of spriug and
summer fabrics while the atmosphere is
more ike summer than spring. The latter
part OF the week was much milder, and the
loohing trade at once improved, rs naviga,
ton is now open, and the state trade is also
comingin,
