WEEKLY REVIEW,
The Hu'inrs. ofihe week a. Hero,,.a.,
Hrsdstrerrs

General trade has been rather mar.
quiet aud this week p,oye. one Of the
dnllest season which has followed
the fortnight oi revived demand early In
November. The uncasincss last woek
caused by northwest bank failures is con.
iinucd 10y similar entertainments a.
Chicago and Minneapolis. These bank
failures seem TO be the outcome Of con.
ditions originating in the banks and not
due to the situation Of general trade
Unreasonable weather, the making of
inventories, and the customary absence
OF demand IN Wholesale line, have rom-
bined to produce more than the usual
holiday dullness. More favorable report,
include heavy exports Of ilour and general
merchandise from Tacoma TO China
aud Japan, the receipt at Chicago Of a
satisfactory amount Of orders for dry
goods for spring delivery, and an in.
crease total volume oi bus ness in lspg
among 81. Louis shoe manufacturers and
iobhcfs, aud iohber " dry goods. as com.
pared with 1895. Quotations ior corn.
exports Of which continue relatively
heavy; for wheat OF which the same.
may be said aud for coffee and for hide.
aud leather, are higher.
Manufacturers Of wooden goods arc
buying raw material only TO cover
orders received. Large stocks Of unsold
print cloth continue To disprss quotation,
and merchants In leading staple linesat
larger distributing centefs do not antic-
ipate an early Improvement In bust
ness. Prices Of oats, petroleum, cotton
and print cloths are lower. and buyers
Of western and southern brands Of pig
