THE STATE OF TRADE.

BradstreetS'.
There is a check to the onward sweep of
demand in staple lines so noticeable
throughout the country for the past six
weeks. The yellow-fever quarantine,
which extends from Texas to Georgia,
has brought wholesale business to a
practical standstill throughout the
greater portion of the region embraced
by the Gulf States. AT centres of dis
tribution in eastern, middle and central
western states, the recent activity in dry
goods, hats and hardware, has fallen off,
but at the northwest and on the Pacific
coast buying by interior merchants and
the free distribution of merchandise con-
tinue to be features. Demand for heavy
textile fabrics has been stimulated by
colder weather, and st. Louis merchants
say the yellow-fever scare will have no
effect upon trade at that city, as southern
before the quarantine was enforced. The
outlook for business in parts of Texas
Arkansas, Tennessee and Georgia is for
a much duller season than had been eX-
pected. Favorable features of the week
are found in sharp advances in prices for
iron and steel, heavy sales of Bessemer,
pig iron, steel billets and rails and a
prospect that iron and steel prices will
go higher in the nearby future Wool
is also higher and wooden goods for 1898
delivery are up to 10 and Is per cent. with
The increased volume of general trade is
also stimulated by the continued heavy
movement of cereals to tide-water, the
almost unprecedent edly large quantities
exported each week, and the Increased
number of people finding employment in
industrial and commercial lines as COM
pared with year ago, together with the

there was no aggressive general selling

halted after IL o'clock and waited for the

Printed fabrics ard ginghams are steady.
Dress woolens are in a strong position,

W. M. Spencer, an agent of the state of California, arrived in town yes. CT day morning with a requisition from Governor Budd for the extradition of William DeMussett, the defaulting marshal of the town of Selma, near Fresno. Governor McCord had gone to Yuma the night before, but the agents papers were examined by Az torney- General Frazier and found to be correct in form. A telegram was sent to the governor and a reply was received authorizing Secretary Akers to issue the eXtraditicn papers. The agent left last night for Jerome where DeMusseltt was captured a week ago. The officer will return to Phoe- nix with him and proceed to Califor- nia by the southern route. DeMus- sett left Selma a little more than month ago. After his departure his accounts were exported and he was found to be short $480. His defalca- tions are probably twice as much since a great many of his ste alings as pound master never became a part of the rec ord.
