Somewhat More Depressed.
jobbcrs Show Great Caution Other Features
Of Weekly Bulletin.

Industrial ccnterS indicate q more I'M
satisfactory state of trade. Jobbers
ana retail houses show further caution
in the matter of securing supplies and
buying for actual needs to a degree
rot her tofore reported There is no
outlook faVoring tho early revival Of
trade, while the volume of sales con-
tinuca light and prices low, with fur
ther restriction Of credits. The gem
eral money market is dun due not
only to the caution on the part of
bnnks in discounting, but to the fan
ing off in demand
The unfavorable crop reports from
Nebraska caused a cancellation of
some orders. and long continued rains
IN Tennessee have checked business
there. Louisiana reports the new rye
crop short. Eastern Washington and
oregon report that the long continued
dry season has had an unfavorablc
eject on the wheat crop. The single
favorable feature in Chicaso's trade
situation is moderately increased on
orders for dry goods and hardware;
almost every other line is quiet or de-
pressed. Relatively few st Louis
statesmen are on the road. and few
others will start soon. Omahas cloth
ing trade is brisk. but other lines are.
slow. Relatively favorable advices are
from Baltimore, whore orders in gen
cral lines are fairly satisfactory. The
volume of business is larger than in
the like period Of 1875. and in Calves
ton business generally promises an
Improvement.
The Industrial situation Is somewhat
more depressed, particularly in iron
and steel prices for most varieties.

steel workers. and is largely aoceded
to. The production is materially cur
tailed among the manufacturers -
woolens and cottous. as heretofore in
locomotive, hardware. silver, jewelry
and lumber industries.
Shoe factories are busy, mostly on
old orders. Eastern wool dealers re-
port no demand Some n the leading
houses refuse To increase their stocks
either BY purchase or consignment
