authorities to deal with them, but that
as soon as they reach the reservation,
from which they are distant only two

WHOLESALE DRY GOODS.

The wholesale dry goods market re-
celved a strong impetus early In the
week on account OF country and out OF
town tradesmen who bought quite
heavily. But after the visitors went
home trade slackened off perceptibly.

western houses are seriously consider
ing cutting these two lines from their
list and subs tituting cheaper brands.
The situation IN print goods is consld-
cred remarkable The restriction of
production has sent the supply below
the demand, making It necessary for
users OF wide goods Of print cloth yarn
construction to order for six months
ahead. There has been noted In the
trade an absorption recently of accu-
mutations OF narrow goods, which has
materially stiffened prices.
1t is allowed there will be no seri-
Gus accumulations Of heavy cottons
this year, as the domestic demand has
been strong enough TO take care of the
output, and many mills have ceased
turning out three and four yards goods
TO manufacture other sizes. But west
ern jobbers are viewing with uncer-
tanty the cotton situation In the south,
where the cyclone effected such de-
struction, and this disaster is supple
mented by the sudden bursting of the
balls and rotting OF the cotton-largely
