Reception by Members of Metho-
dist Episcopal Chruch.

Providence Methodist Episcopal church

sort of trade come from the southwest

the spring wheat and lumber belt of the
northwest, satisfactory advices are quite
general Heavy weight clothing, too,
has been measurably helped for the
same reason, but, despite good bust
mesa in the past two weeks, the fur trade
has apparently Jagged somewhat owing
to the mild weather. In the wholesale
trade, business has been of seasonably
small proportions, but reports from
leading lines such rs iron and steel, shoes
and leather, lumber. glass and spring
dry goods have been encouraging, chief
ly of course, as regards the views enter

to new business actually accomplished.
Stock taking Is now in progress and de-
tails as to accomplished results will
probably be forthcoming soon after the
close of the year.
