DRY GOODS TRADE.
A Phenomenally Prosperous Year
 Big Houses Increase Capital.


 In its current issue q phenomenally prosperous year in the dry goods trades Is thus summarized by The Dry Goods Economist, under the caption, "A Clear
 The first year of the century goes out in blaze of glory; 1901 has proved one or the most prosperous years which the dry goods trade has ever experienced.
 At the outset of the twelve-month the prospects were not very bright Conse- quent upon an unusually mild fall, man ufacturers and distributors were alike loaded up with merchandise. The silk production, for which little or no outlet was visible. The cotton piece goods branch was congestod, owing to nearly half of the export trade in that line In China. The wooden trade was de- pressed by large supply of raw material at low prices. As the year drew on, however, the prosperous conditions pre- vailing throughout the country began 10 tell and consumption drew closer to sup ply. Spring and summer trade reached a new high water mark in retailing. and the cold and seasonable weather which prevailed during the fall brought the high pressure right up to the opening of the holiday season.
 ''The holiday business throughout the country has been the best on record. Never were there such crowds, never such liberal purchasing.
 "Predictions as to the business of the Incoming year are hazardous, vet never were conditions so favorable as at pres ent. Never were stocks so light in the hands of retailers, never were manufac- turers so free from accumulations. In many lines the chief difficultv which re- tailers experience is to obtain deliV- cries.
 Apparently an equal opportunity for making money was seldom, if ever, pre- scented; nor are evidences wanting that the trade is fully awake to the advant- ages offered.
 Large iobhing houses in New York and Philadelphia nave increased their capital. very important new whole sale concern has been established in Bal timore New Jobbing houses are being established in Western cities Retail firms all over the country are improving and enlarging their premises and other wise extending their facilities.
 Failures among manufacturers have been few during 1901 and those which have occurred are attributable to back ward methods and out of date machinery. TIe m mber Of ,retail firms that nave gone under in the twelve month is still more limited. and the failures which have occurred in this branch are traceable to Exceptional, not general. conditions. 1 -lt is safe to bank on the continuance tof such unusually satisfactory conditions throughout a period of twelve months;

The Brewery is already equipped with the best and most modern machinery. and in addition to that. we will give MT.

 This announcement will be recalled bama, and in this city especially. There are thousands of people who always pa- tronize home industries in preference to all ot aers, and they will do all in their power to make successful the efforts of the Montgomery Brewery to keep pace with the times and give them the best beer to be made.
