good day in dry goods with the nearby and

and there was a corresponding improved
request at first hands, challis selling very
freely. The general demand with agents was
without much change. A conservative
volume of goods is steadily taken for current
wants and there is an irregular business as
yet in goods for fall. though there is con-
siderable inquiry. Business in wooden I'M

fair request. The market continues I'M

American Credit Abroad.


American credit appears to be at the
zenith in Europe, particularly in Ger
many. A returned traveller reports
that Philadelphia with his wife on
their bridal tour admired ring in a
jewelers. window in Nuremburg. He
asked to have it reserved for few days
as he was not prepared to purchase it
then. THAT makes no difference, f"
said the jeweler; "take the ring and my
address and pay me when you are
ready" Atterwsrd, having paid for
this, the lady and gentleman were ad-
miring diamond studded watch and
some other articles. "But we cannot
possibly buy them." they explained !;
