Of retail trade hitherto in
clined to lag, notable in this respect be-
ing heavyweight clothing, shoes, and
rubber footwear, and induced some re-
order business with jobbers, who are
still busy on regular trade. The coal
trade also shows improvement and
some advance in prices, but here car
congestion, especially at the West, Is a
bar to fullest activity.
The railways seem to keep finding in
creased difficulty in handling the traf-
fic offering, and fears of future great
congestion are expressed.
The price situation as a whole is one
Of great strength, Oct. 1 prices being
at record level. For the week the
features in speculative circles have been
the slowness of dealings In grain at
small net changes in price, and the
sharp fluctuations Of cotton, due to
contradictory advices as to frost dam
age. The strength Of the metal mar
kets deserves mention.
Jobbing trade, though Of a between
seasons character, Is very large for the
season. Especial activity Is noted here
in wholesale circles in cotton fabrics,
which tend upward on stronger raw
material prices. Spring trade is receiv-
ing i""reased attention and good Or
ders are already noted.-Bradstreet
