quantities of inferior seeds also are i'm
ported from abroad and afterwards
mixed with those of better quality in

Car Congestion. IA.

New York. Nov. 11.-Bradstreets
weekly review says:
Excellent reports still come from
nearly all lines of trade and industry,
the only flaws being complaints that
car congestion in widely-separated Sec
tions affects prices, collections, cereal,
coal and coke and general freight
movements, and to a certain extent
thereby d~iscOurages some new orders.
Cold weather is still a stimulus to
trade, quarantine restrictions have dis
appeared, filling-in orders are numer-
Gus, and spring sales compare we'll
with a year ago. Jobbers and whole
salers report some transference of &C
tivity from staple lines to holiday spe-
cialities. Manufacturers of these goods
are working full time. Industry, as q
whole, is very active. Iron and steel
interests report the past month a rec
ord breaker in all lines.
