TRADE OF THE WEEK

of the more important cities in the New
England and middle states furnish en-
couragng reports as to trade this week,
and not more than one-third of the cities
west or northwest send corresponding adj
vices. Three-fourtnS of the southern and
southwestern cities regard the situation at
least as favorable as heretofore. New Eng

which North Carolina and Virginia mer-
chants have been purchasing; sales of dry

heavier than anticipated. Collections in
South Carolina, however, are giving some
uneaSineSs.
There is some gain at Memphis, particu-
larly i'll dry goods and plantation supplies,
which is true at Atlanta and Augusta as
well, where retailers and j0bbers report
that cash sales are larger than for long
time. Birmingham jobbers in groceries re
port increased sales, as those in dry goods
and plantation supplies at New Orleans, al
though exports of grain at the latter are
checked. Business at Chattanooga is also
good considering the season and few COM
