IN all OF the wholesale and Quitting

evidences OF great activity and Of large
volume OF business. In the various lines
of staples The supply has been equal to
the demand. except In few eases. and
the temporary shortage has been provided

required articles. But one fact has pre-
vented an absolute shortage in many ar
ticles needed by the average rro@pecfor.
and this Is the large stocks carried by the
wholesale dealers OF the city.
