strong, and print cloths, percales and
plain cotton tend upward. Raw wool
is steady. Higher prices abroad and
in the west are sustaining features.
There is some irregularity In the shoe
and leather trades.
Iron Trade Good.
Demand for structural material also
shows improvement. particularly in
the west, where specifications are com,

ests are the most liberal purchasers.
An eastern mill has advanced its
price on shapes 10 1.S5 cents at mill,

brings fancy prices everywhere. Large
orders for steel rails are said to be
pending. but business for the week
