General Remarks.
Tho condition OF the general market as a
-toIe was fairly satisfactory. The line of
,-ade has continued good IN all branches,
a.,-r hut one or two exceptions. There was
r.r,ual activity and animation displayed
ar,on9 iobbers that is experienced at this
'.[,s of the year, and the distribution has
zen nretty full both through local channels
~ we'll as for outward shipment. The retail
rraae however, has been comparatively quiet
~ account of the general warm weather
,.,f.b has prevailed for the vast rock. The
,,srrbants are anxious for the cold season to

with an increased tendency. Collections
continue in pretty fair volume. The
