Weekly Review.

The demand in ali departments of trade
during the week has grown considerably
stronger, until in many lines it is very active
and in all somewhat urgent. The business
feeling is much stronger and more active
than it has been in long time. Notwltn-
standing the volume Of business is large the
margins are small. Every indication points
TO a very active and heavy fall business.
Stocks in the interior are known to be small,
and the crops are proving to be better than
they were expected to be at one time. This
ali means heavy business. The premoni-
lions of it are seen in our jobbing houses at
the present time. In dry goods trade
is very active, indeed, and there
is an active and increasing de-
mand for all kinds OF seasonable goods. A
strong tone prevails and business shows a
decided increase over last week. 1t looks
now as though consumers would have to pay
good deal more for goods than they have
paid heretofore. The demand is very great
while the stocks in the hands of the manufac-
turers are very small indeed. The market
has been full of customers while there has
been an unusually large order business The
scarcity of the leading makes OF cotton goods
show no signs of their being more plenty
and the indications are that they will remain
strong and firm for long time.
advanced prices do not seem to
check in the least degree the demand.
Buyers require the goods in order to supply
their customers. Blankets are IN very large
demand. They have advanced much less
than other kinds of wooden goods, and con-
seouently higher prices are expected. The
drug market is active, while collections are
daily improving. The tone of the market is
strong with every indication that the fall and
winter will show by far the largest business
ever transacted in ST. Paul Balsam copa1ba
has advanced. Linseed and lard oils are
weaker. Groceries are very active, indeed,
and prices are generally steady and strong,
except sugars, which are continually vascil-
lating. Cheese is firmer and higher. Col
lections are satisfactory. Sales heavy. The
hardware trade is very active, with prices
very firm and collections much improved.
