INDIAN MONEY. Every one now
seems to have the specimen craze, my
self included. Not long ago | received
from Washington Ter, nice box of
real Indian money. The lady who
sent it says, years ago her husband was
an Indian trader, and while among the
Alaska Indians he collected this queer
currency, and now having no use for
it so sent it to me. The Indian mon
ey or "Wampum" as the Indians called
it, is a rare sea shell an inch or more in
length, the size of a large knitting nee
die, tapering, slightly bent and hollow,
the value of each piece to them was 4
cents. | have quite bit more of this
Indian Wampum than / care for and
any one who would like a specimen
may have it and welcome by sending
a stamp to pay the postage.

He leaves widow and several chill

DRY GOODS,

The year opened very promising 10 the dry
goods trade, and first orders were sAtisfacto-
ry, but when the usual time came for filling
in assOrtments IL was found that the fear OF
short crops in some sections and the low
prices OF cotton In others caused quite a de-
preston In the interior, and few country
merchants wanted TO add TO their ALREADY
large accounts and, therefore, the trade for
the months Of October, November and De-
cember was comparatively light. The freeze
of the orange crop, decline in the price of se n
island cotton, and the depression all through
the territory covered by savannah mace the
spring trade rather light. and not at all salts
factory. Many accounts then due had to be
carried over and caused u tendency to avoid
increasing debts. Both the spring and sum-
mer trade were light compared with the pre-
Nlous year. The fall trade opened for this
year by June 20, and at the start was favora-
be, with bright prospects, but the heavy rains
OF July ana part Of August caused q reaction,
ana orders were cut down and many held
back for future developments. August closed
with the volume OF business less than was eX-
pected at the beginning. Cotton fabrics have
ruled very low during tho year. Wooden
goods were low az tho start, but early ia the
summer prices advanced fully Is por cent
with prospect Of gong still hi cher. Cotton
fabrics have been advanced at the mills fully
8 70 10 per cent, and the tendency is for stiff
higher prices, caused by the present demand
and the small stocks offering. There Is no
ground for boom, but no doubt as long "a
manufacturers can keen advancing their
fabrics ant ilnd ready purchasers it shows u
healthy statc Of trade. That goods at present
are too cheap, all viii Hcsnuwledgc. and a
gradual increase OF urices NAV restore conf
