New YORK special: Bradstreet's
will say: AT the larger eastern cities
the retail trade has assumed the char
ac;cristics OF the holiday season. The
demand from iobbcrs is mainly to fill
out depleted stocks and the activity
is naming among retailers. At the
south there is seasonable activity in
staple goods. At Chicago sales Of
clothing exceed those in q like period
in 1899, but the distribution of shoes,
rubber goods and hardware is smaller.
St. Louis Jobbers report the heaviest
demand from nearby country dealers
to fill in their stocks, and a better
feeling in finished iron and steel
trades. North of Kansas City and
north of Chicago, trade reports are
less favorable because of unreasonable
weather and throughout Nebraska and
ad jacent regions owing to the need OF
rain. Some or all Of these character
istics apply to Omaha, Des MONIES.
Milwaukee. ST. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth. The tendency OF these prices
is to increased tirmness. Wool is re-
garded as having advanced. although
Quototions for territories are nomi-
nally only steady. Merchants and
manufacturers who have reported are
anticipating that business will remain
well within conservative lines during
the winter. with u moderate increase
in the spring.

AFTER The COAL FIELDS.
It Is Reported the Great Northern Will
Build to the black Hills.

'"''' wv ~ s'''o
George w. Nix the we'll known rail
road contractor, and Col. Ellsworth OF
Chicago recently visited the coal fields
lying in the western portions of the
Black Hills. Since their departure
from that region all sorts of rumors
have been gong the rounds with re.
gard to the Hay Creek coal fields rail.
way. That the road will eventually
be built there is no doubt, and the
latest ramon is that the Great NORTH.
ern has an eye ON the rich cOal fields
lying IN the western part Of the Black
Hills. Another report, and II which
has gained great c~redence, is that
capital enough has been Interested to
build the road to Speariish and use
the coal in the Black lIiHs. where
there is Il good and growing market
for 1t. Any surplus will be shipped to
surrounding communities. IL the pro.
ject goes through, as there is every
eason to believe it will, the line will
be built to Minnesota. aud from there
through the Redwater to Spearlish.
Col. Ellsworth and Mr.. Nix departed
for Chicago. but will return to the
Black Hills in the near future. The
Great Northern. it is learned, has had
coal experts III that country, who after
IN exhaustive examination, made
favorable reports concerning the quail
ity and quantity Of the coal. If the
road built down the ~lscdwater Valley
it will be considered an absolute Ger.
tainty that it will be built through to
the Missouri River. where it would
connect with one of the Great West
ern systems and thus shorten the
route some hundreds OF miles between
the Black Hills and the Twin Cities
