The week brought no

- lance in the general bust
ness outlook. The most favorable fea-
ture was the turn in the weather, which,
coming just before the holiday season,
seemed doubly reasonable. Merchants
who had been complaining Of dullncss in
lines Of early winter merchandise, found
trade somewhat improved. Holiday buy
ing has begun, and the jobbers report
orders containing a very satisfactory pro-
portion of Christmas goods.
The Northwest is doing a good BUSH
ness in all lines The week brought the
first Authentic reports of damage to win
ter wheat by the Hessian fly, which had
moderately stimulating effect upon prices,
serving to hold the market steady. The
local elevator companies have beer able
to take in wheat of late with the resu,,
that conditions here are slowly working
back to normal. With an increase of

ap0lis houses are now carrying 1864 800
bushels Of W eat. Of which Bias, S24
