Bradstreet's: 'While the general
trade movement is somewhat irregular
and there are further evidences Of
falling off in demand and volume. bus
mess continues of large proportions
Speculation in wool has ceased and de-
1nand for the staple is less than for
weeks past. Cotton goods are dull on
the weakness of raw cotton, and job
Ders report dry goods slower than a
week ago. Interior merchants in the
central West have not distributed fall
STOCKS as promptly as expected, and
many JobDers at Western centers find
that they overestimated the consump-
tive demand when securing fall
goods"

orders went far beyond all distributive
demand in August and prevented great
replenlshment of stocks and the sim
liar rush for goods has been CORE
spondlngly great in other lines during
the past two months. In iron and steel
and In boots and shoes there was ac-
tual danger of speculative imitation
