The merchandise market looks we'll so
far as the future Is concerned, but the pres
ent money stringency prevents much
spreading out on the part Of general opera
tors. The excellent crop conditions and the
prospect of large European demand for
our product at good prices is the basis of
the expected improvement in nearly all
lines Of trade, but in few departments have
conditions advanced to a point where these
promising expectations can vet be realized.
The West looks to the East to sell their
crops at good prices, and their prosperity
will open a Western demand for our manu-
features, which will generally help the
business Of the country. Dry goods move
well in jobbing circles, and BUYERS are
generally encouraged to put In liberal fall
stocks.
