Steadily increasing demands for set
sonable merchandise and furnace pro-
ducts have given added strength to gen
eral business. A Slight falling off in
railroad traffic is due to difficulty in get
ting sufficient cars ut the points where
most needed and does not affect net earn
ings. Speculation in leading foodstufs
and upward forcing of prices lessened
cash trades and caused q sharp shrink
age in shipments. Wholesale trade shows
steady advance, both in house dealings
for current needs and country merchant
selections for spring delivery. Most
branches of dry goods, footwear and
clothing report sales reaching a good av-
erage. Less backwardness appears in
the buying of high priced lines, There
is improving tendency in woolens, cloaks
and suits, and fair volume charaeterizes
groceries. canned goods and paints. Mer-
camille collections are easier on loca
bills and good for the interior, The out
lool; for new building work has become
more encouraging and prices of materials
are irming.
Grain shipments 2,294,117 bushels,
are Is per cent under the total OF the
correSp onding week of 1903. Sales of
-four made Il fair average, with good
profits to millers, but while the principal
grains have risen in value. the actual
dealings show a restricted aggregate.
Provisions have been hbe.aiiy taken and
continued. the recently noted upturn adj
vances being in lard 321a cents, pork
22112 cents and in ribs 1919 cents. Live
stock receipts, 363,901 mead, are . per

I------1 ences in the general trade
situation. To some extent traffic has
been hindered. especially at the East
but the latest returns of railway earn
ings for January show an increase Of
30 per cent over 1903. Consumption OF
fuel was increased, and retail trade in
coal greatly expanded, but no common
surate gain at first hands Is reported,
owing to the large supplies held by deal
ers Retail distribution Of footwear and
heavy wearing apparel felt the stimulus
and annual clearance sales moved ac-
cumuations of dry goods, millinery, etc.
As to quotations there is nominally
no alteration. In so far as this new
business keeps mills active the situation
has improved Scrap iron and steel con
tinue firm. and old rails are the strong
est feature.
OF scarcely less interest than the alb
normal price of raw cotton is the situa-
ton as to the size of stocks OF Ihanufac-
tured goods Much depends on the revival
of purchasing. thus far a limited amount
Of new business being offered. There
seems to be no uncertainty regarding the
scarcity in first hands, for there is delay
in the few contracts rendered. Print
cloths again advanced, but otherwise for
mer quotations prevail. More new lines
of woolens were opened at concessions,
and simultaneously the London auction
sale produced slightly higher quotations
for raw wool, and the situation In this
branch of textile fabrics is becoming as
con plicated as the cotton industry.
Increased activity and strength is re-
ported in the domestic hide market.
