than usual, we'll assorted and attractive.
On the other hand, It can be stated that
the volume of business done. so far this
month, Is approximately one-third greater
than for the first week In December. 1898.
Travelling men and merchants both testt-
fly to this fact. In speaking OH the subject
yesterday one of the best known travelling
men on the Coast, now guest at the Rain
ier-Grand, said:
II have been visiting Seattle twice every
year since 1883. Other years / have made
my trips in the spring and fall. i was here
for the second time in October last and
carried away over $4,000 worth of orders
for the holiday trade. The goods arrived
am compelled to make third visit and
have secured nearly two-thirds as many
more orders which will be rushed forward
within a week Other travelling men tell
me the same story.
my list of Seattle customers contains
seventeen of the largest houses doing busi-
and talking over business with them I can
say there never was year when they
carried such large and expensive stock
as the present, There Is also another change
cash purchasers and fewer sales on credit
this year. There is also a greater abund-
ance Of buyers than in other years and they
Merchants of Seattle, as a rule, are
profiting and many are discounting their
bills. In my trade in. Seattle alone. my
ORDERS nave Deeu. Su6dkIUR roughly ABOUT
$4,000 heavier than In 1898.
''The trade outside of Seattle has been
proportionately good, with the exception
Of few cities. These are in the wheat
and hop districts, where low prices for
their products have caused them to hid
on. and consequently they have little
ready money They are however. under
the circumstances, buying quite freely, and
the trade at these points cannot be classed
as bad.
"Hardware and machinery men covering
this territory tell me their business has
been exceptionally good throughout Wash.
ington. so that there can be no real hard
times In any part Of the state.
''The holiday trade has begun earlier than
usual, and every indication points to a
very heavy business between now and the
new year"
The local jobbers express the same senti-
ment, and point to large Increase in BUSH
ness over last year. Orders. they say. have
been heavier, not due alone to the increase
in price OF almost every article of con-
sumption and wear. All houses are at
the present time rushed to their utmost
getting goods out, and many have been
compelled to increase their forces. They
also testify to prompter payments among
customers and good trade In the country.
