Wooden GOOds-Tbere have been few
additions during the week to the new lines
| of lightweight woolens previously upon the
market, and those have again been confined
to low grade goods. Compared with previous
season there has not been 80 per cent of the
usual business secured as yet except in such
plain goods serges and tricot longs and
even in these sales are considerably short OF
an average. The price situation in view Of
this condition must still be considered indef-
mite. The recorders for heavyweight woolens
7 and worsteds have been moderate at previous
prices. Business in overcoatings and cloak
ings slow, owing to large auction sale OF
these goods to be he'd next week Dress
goods show little improvement in demand
and are irregular in price. Flannels and
blankets in quiet recorder request, but prices
are well maintained. Dunn's Review, July
