speculative demand this week but at the same time
manufacturers have taken hold quite freely and have
paid the advanced prices asked The market is very
firm and advancing, and many believe that the high
water mark has not yet been reached. The advices
from London still report hardening market and
active demand and from all points in the interior and
abroad come reports OF strong and advancing mar
kets. Fine washed Aeeces have further advanced dur
ing the week and have been most inquired for. The
WOODEN goods marked is in q satisfactory position
Manufacturers confident of obtaining better
prices for their goods when the season for heavy
weights opens. They are therefore more disposed to
pay the higher prices asked for WOOL and do with
out as much grumbling as formerly" The New York
Shipping List, in commenting the condition OF
trade. says buyers supplying their wants with
feeling of confidence that tends to free movement OF
merchandise from the hands of iobbers well as
manufacturers and commercial operations generally
appear to be under the inspiration of prosperous
times but there is nothing in the present condition
of affairs that warrants the assertion made in some
quarters that business is booming that trade is
under tbs influence of tidal of activity. In
fact there is entire absence of anything like specu-
atve excitement feverish activity in any branch OF
trade but rather the development of steady progress
per'ty and the growing requirements of actual con-
sumption 1t is the conservative character of trade
and commercial operations that inspires confidence
and is now leading to the free investment of capital
and steady expansion of the field of business actvi
ty and the most encouraging sign of the times that
what has been accomplished in the way of improve
ment during the past month has been entirely the
suit of natural causes.
