BUSINESS FEATURES.
Business continues active and has
not been disturbed by recent events. AS
noted by Dun there are encouraging
features at various points.
In Chicago leading retail and whole
sale lines report continued large gains
in sales. The shipments are becoming
very heavy, and railroads find west
bound movement of merchandise great
er than hitherto known. Increased
buying of new stocks of groceries and
dry goods appears from the northwest.
Record breaking sales are made in
hardware, and general business pre-
sents unfailing signs of Widespread ac-
tivity and strength. Mercantile COLLEGE
lions are prompt.
Boston reports that business is good
in about every direction. Leading job
bing dry goods houses report large
saies, with the week the best in a gem
eral way for long time. Retail trade
has made good start in fall traffic. ALL
kinds of groceries and food products are
in active request. In wholesale branch
es the boot and shoe trade holds the
lead in activity and general prosperity.
All the shops are working full time and
some overtime. Demand for wool is
less active.
At Pittsburg the success in starting
some of the mills which have been
closed by the strike has not materially
relieved the tension on the trade. and it
will take some time after the strike is
settled before old conditions in prices
and capacity of the mills can be
brought back.
AT Baltimore the Wholesale outlook is
favorable, and while complaints of
short crops come from some sections,
the general report promises a brisk fall
trade, with consumption fully as large
as IN previous years.
Kansas City reports that wholesale
and retail trade conditions continue to
improve in all lines. Jobbers and manu-
facturers report an extensive run CT fall
business. The second crop of vegeta-
bles is in good quantity and fine quail
ty.
In St Louis the Shipments of mer-
chandise from the jobbing houses in all
lines are heavy, and figure most prom
inently in the general freight move
mert. Orders continue liberal. The
greatest activity is in dry goods, shoes,
and hats and caps. The bulk of the
movement is west, the orders from the
southwest are increasing. Confidence
continues in the country communities in
both sections, as the later crop condi-
tions are much more favorable.
New Orleans reports that trade condi-
tions continue favorable, and jobbers in
all lines report an active business. The
volume of the past week was largely in
excess of that transacted at the same
time last year. Collections are up to ex-
pectations. Crop prospects of Louisiana
and Mississippi are good. More than an
average crop of rice is in sight Cane is
in good condition, and cotton promises
very fair yield.
In Minneapolis trade conditions are
fair brought many buyers to the city,
and jobbers in all lines are exceedingly
busy. Retail trade is also excellent.
The movement of fall goods is heavy
and prices of staples are steady. The
fruit and produce market is somewhat
easier this week.
San Francisco reports conditions 80
far this year have been generally pros
porous as measured by all accepted
standards. Bank clearlngs show an in
crease of 10 per cent over the large total
last year. Exclusive of Hawaiian trade,
which is conceded to be greater than
last year. exports by sea to other mar
kets show a gain of 900. Tonnage
| for deep water trade shows on increase
of 10000 tons. Individual deposits in
San Francisco banks gained over $19-
| 100000 in the past twelve months. Loans
on city real estate since January 1st are
s2,600,0O0 greater than last year, and
there has been considerable increase
| in the number and value of sales. Ripe
fruit Shipments overland snow a de-
crease The seasons pack of canned
fruits has not been large and the for
eign demand promises to be light The
| salmon pack of the coast will exceed
that of any previous year.
