market are Frightening, but no material advance
has been noted as yet.

RETAIL TRADE.
The holiday trade is just opening up in good
earnest, and though not near as active as il was
year ago. the indications are that the aggre-
gate business will be very heavy considering the
condition of the times Dealers in notions and
fancy articles report very fair sales. and grocers
and meat, poultry and vegetable dealers have
been enjoying good trade since Thanksgiving,
and 1t has been rapidly increasing the past few
days The demand for poultry and game is es-
pecially heavy, and the supply good in every
thing except grouse. Venison is now in light
demand, but the first that came In was taken on
sight, and the supply did not begin to equal the
demand. 1t can scarcely be said that the supply
is too heavy now, but ii is quite equal to the
demand at least. The first navel oranges of the
season have just arrived, and find good demand,
though the prices are high rs yet. The receipts
have been light so far.
