FROM A PURCHASING TRIP.
c. L. Graham Returns From a WeeI
Spent in Chicago.


G. L. Graham, proprietor of The Hub
Clothing House, has just returned from
a weeks purchasing trip to Chicago.
He reports very pleasant and sue
cessfnl trip. He states that he found
business in all lines good and the man
ufactories and the jobbing offices full
of orders. '"'here has been general
advance in all the lines which han
die" said Mr. Graham. "This is es--
pecially true in cotton goods. A num-
Der of parties have banded together
and formed corner in the cotton
market. They have run the price up
from cents to 1914 and Is cents. The
manufacturers, many Of them, have
refused to pay the price and have clos
ed down for the present. This condi-
ton may continue until the next crop
begins to come in. which will be
along some time in November. Even
then the manufacturers cannot get
their goods on the markets till along
in the springtime. Aside from the cot
ton market all business is in good con-
dition and ! am looking for pros
porous season. Fortunately made my
heaviest purchases early in the season
and headed off most of the advance in
price which has come. l did not find
many snaps upon this trip and SO did
not make very heavy purchases"
