issue Following is digest OF IN,
matter contained:
Owing, We suppose. TO comparisons
with former business at these season:
when many more Chinese merchants
were in trade, as well perhaps as TO the
forgotten calm which always precedsS
the rush OF holiday trade, merchants in
some lines seem a little blue. But gen
orally speaking trade is good for the
season.
Canned goods have lowered in price
particularly, and all staple lines have
come down 10 conservative bases. Can
ned meats particularly have come down
owing, doubtless, TO enormous bulk an
ticipated for government needs in case
OF prolonged difficulties in China.
Sugar stocks show downward ten
denotes, and it seems that fair prices
only will obtain. where hitherto high
has been the order.
Mortgage Indebtedness is still I'M
usually high.
Building and hardware lines are
still doing splendid business, and the
continued high prices paid for both
skilled and unskilled labor betoken
prosperity.
'On the whole the outlook is very
promising.
