Under continuance of the fne weathe,

Sufficient produce is being placed on

THE JoBBNG TRADE.
Sales to spot buyers have been small,
but the recorder demand from the int.
rior has been of good proportions, and
the trade OF the week though generally
dull has, sil things considered, been as
good as could be expected. The loss BY
the "blizzsrd" has not yet been regained,
yet the sales of the whole season will
doubtless be equal if not in excess of
those of last year. Prices are generally
maintained with much stesdiness, but the
desire OF )bbers to stimulate business By
"driyes" Is constantly causing some
goods to be offered st very low figures.
This week, however, they have been fewer
than previously because they have not
been able to Ind the goods IN first hands.
Collections are reported to be good as
usual, and payments in first hauds sre
said to be prompt, and no failures of mo-
ment in the trade have occurred during
the week = Dry Goods Reporter.
