! ity, but a steady tone prevails in most de-
| partments. The feeling is strong that warm
open air Will help business, aud the tendency
! will be towards quietness until spring opens
in earnest. The stringency in money circles
has hurt business somewhat for the present
| by checking contemplated operations TO q
great extent. The sale OF dry goods is quiet
! Cotton fabrics show no material weakness,
and the mills are well sold ahead.
