The unrcasonaby warm weather Of last week that pre-
vailed all tho country restricted the usual ds'
button of general merchandise and occasoned no little
dsappointment in mercantile circles Business generally
was slow and and the drygoods trade was
specially depressed by some large auction sales AZ winch
the prices realized from 10 to 40 per cent below
agents net quotations. The near approach OF tho
