We have still the same story to tell this
week in regard to general business The
condition is improved somewhat, and will
continue to improve until q prosperous trade
is reached and that before the end of the

have already pcrccptb,y felt the increased
volume of trade over the corresponding 2
period Of last year and this is a favorable
symptom for n good healthy business in all
lines little later on.
APPLES-Oherings are large with trade
fair and prices steady in choice. Dried apples

COAL,-An sdvance Of Is cents per ton
went into effect sept. |, making the price of
stove 81 - 1t is yet too early to stale just
what this means. but nobody will lay any
where near that figure. Coal could be had
at New York last week at about e. -, and
81 is an outside figure. The advance was
made owing to the Curtailcd production, but
with the large stocks everywhere and the
lack Of demand. doubts are entertained by
many Of the ability Of the companies to
maintain it. The ret,il trade is quiet for this
season of the year, though there is consider
abe Goa. being sold.
