Weakly Review.

Though there has been considerable excite
ment during the week in regard to pohtlcs,
theinterference with trade has not been very
serious. In hardware trade has shown some
Improvement though buyers in nearly all
lines are distrustful of existing prices, even
when, judged by their usual range, they are
extremely low. Manufacturers are evlnclng
commendable disposition to avoid the ac-
cumulation of stocks, and in many cases
where prices are reduced to an unprOntaDle
Inquire are producing very few goods ana re-
fusing to meet the lowest quotations OF their
competitors. Business in barDed wire mas
been good Two-point wire has been scarce
and difficult to obtain from manufacturers
owing to the largely increased demand from
consumers. Stocks of other kinds are easy
to obtain, most houses being well supplied
and able to fill orders promptly. Prices re-
main unchanged. Owing to the low freight
between Chicago and St.. Paul the price OF
nails has been reduced to the extent OF the
difference in freight, and prices are likely TO
go back to the old quotations if there should
be change in freight rates. The dry goods
trade has been pretty evenly maintained
throughout the week, and there is no special
matter to mention. There has been no ma
terial change in prices. There has been
fair sorting-up trade and most OF it
has been done on the road But few personal
buyers have been in the market, q consider
able portion of the trade coming through Or
ders. In lawns and thin dress goods styles
are more artistic than during any previous
season. These are copies of the French inn
ported goods and are being made as low as
sc per yard. Groceries are fairly active.
regular and steady business having been done
throughout the week. In regard to prices,
no changes have taken place, except in gran
ulated and standard A sugar, both OF which
have been advanced a little. Drugs are with
out material change, and during the week
have had regular and improving business.
Lumber has been steady, with no material
change to note. Prices are firm and steady.
