COUNTRYs TRADE CONDITION
Interesting Reports From All
Sections just In.

Now York Oct. 2.-Telegrams to
the international Mercantile Agency re-
garding more important trade features
are summarized as follows;
Some concern has been felt least the
wage reduction movement begun by pig
iron makers and in the building trades
at st. Louis and elsewhere may extend
to other lines. Merchants in staple
lines have begun to cut down orders
somewhat. At st. Paul and tributary
territory jobbing demand Is less than
expected and 1t Is thought collections
may be delayed 80 days, although
spring wheat threshing prospects are
more favorable than last week. Country
merchants throughout the Northwest
are beginning to hold off a little.
Wholesale and retail trade in the iron
and coal regions is somewhat upset
over the shut downs, present and pros
pective, talk of cancellations Of orders
for some varieties of steel and checked
buying by some manufacturers. In
other directions trade Is encouraging.
Hardware is most active at Pittsburg.
Shoe manufacturers are having very
large trade. Stove and furniture maxi
ers at st. Louis are ordered far ahead,
Louisville is overrun with country mer-
chants. Philadelphia reports no decline
In demand with improved collections.
In New England distribution runs Is
percent ahead Of last year, At Chicago
wholesale and retail lines show results
of heavy inflow Of country buyers. New
Orleans Is suffering from strike
which ties up the port and affects the
general business.
1t Is now clear that there will be a
two billion bushel crop of corn and that
wheat will be above an average. This
is already reflected in better move
ment, export purchases, a better supply
Of commercial bills and drop in for
elgn exchange. Cotton receipts are far
behind last year. W. p. Brown of cot
