A Rainy Day Checked Trade ~mewha
Fiuctuationsin Values We're Unimportsnt.
Trade has been SO active of late with the
wholesale houses that the dizziness which o
rainy day naturally brings is the moro
noticeable. But. according to a wholesale
merchant. there has been a marked change
in the methods of doing business in this
section in the last five years. There is no
between seasons in the dry goods. boot and
shoe and grocery trade, one seasons BUSH
ness tapping over into another. The facili-
ties of purchasing and transporting goods
have so improved that 1t is not necessary
for the retail merchant to pile in at ono
time goods enough to carry him through
the season. In prices to-day there were no
important changes. Firm values is the
characteristic OF the situation. Fruits and
vegetables are arriving IN large quantities,
but the demand il, active and the weather
favorable TO shipping such articles to
neIghborlng towns and cities. While eggs
and poultry are not Quotably lower. there
Is q weakening tendency. The hide market
Is active. but the price remains unchanged.
The seed market is Hat and likely to remain
SO until the first Of February. Clover ia
weak at the quotations given. The iron,
hardware and tinners' supply markets are
ell in o strong position.
