ing week largely owing to the inter-
vention of the Thanksgiving holiday,

mild weather East and South, storms
in the Central West, and the usual dis
inclination of buyers to add stocks DUR
ing the closing month of the year.
Western jobbers report activity no.

bers, shoes and holiday specialties.
with some increased demand for coal
and light hardware.
General trade remains unchanged at
the South, with mercantile collections
in some instances improving, the ten
dency of cotton to move slowly. and
the movement of merchandise smaller
than iIr October.
On the Pacific coast a smaller voll
ume of business is reported from San
Francisco, with shipments East of
