WEEKLY REVIEW.

The month has opened with only a mOder-
ate trade, prices i'll many lines being lower
but pretty well maintained, and there being
few announcements on the part of manufac-
turers which are OF any special significance.
But little disposition is manifested to force
sales, the producers OF goods pursuing a con-
sentative course, and in many cases refrain
ing from accommodating heavy stocks. There
is no disputing the fact that the i'll effects of
the labor troubles upon the general business
of the country are remaining longer than
dealers expected they would. Though bust
ness, with its ever buoyant characteristic, is
recovering its normal condition, the recovery
is very slow indeed. In many lines prices are
much lower than they were last year,
an dealers in .o order tho to se
as they did last year, are compelled to handle
great many more goods. Notwithstanding
che business of the country is righting itself,
the improvement comes very much more
slowly. 1t is very unusual thing for the
grocery trade to be as quiet as it is at this
season. OF all kinds of business to give out
this one is the last, yet it must be confessed
that it is comparatively quiet this month.
Quotations are pretty steady and but few
changes are made. The principal are in
sugars. Powdered granulated and standard
are 1sc lower. In dry goods trade
continues active, even though the
season is little late. The past
month indicates a very satisfactory increase
in the amount of business done during the
corresponding period last year. All kinds Of
summer fabrics are still called for especially
lawns, percales, buntings, Nainsooks, laces,
parasols. light underwear and such other
articles as are suitable for the season. Money
seems to be rather scarce, especially in the
country, and good deal of credit will have
to be allowed to farmers and country dealers.
Quotations are without change. The ha1d-

like to have it. The financial condition of
the hardware houses throughout the country
is regarded as sound, and no dizziness in the
market will be likely to disturb them. Locally
trade is moderate and collections only
fair, which makes the market altogether
rather sluggish. The drug market is well
sustained, and the volume of business is
large. Prices are still low on staple goods,
and the long expected general advance hasn't
come. Opium is a trif1e lower. Window
glass and linseed oil are lower. Cubebs are
higher, and oil cubebs are also advanced.
Ginseng is again coming in and high prices
are paid here for extra root. The poorer
grades OF ginseng are very little in demand.
Seneca dull and unpromising. Turpentine
very scarce and difficult to obtain In quantity
just now. Collections are only fair. Still, as
a rule, they are as well in hand, perhaps bet
ter than ever before at this season. Lumber
is active ana prices are well maintained
Leather boots and shoes and finished iron and
steel are without change.
