The Charles Mix new era. (Wagner, Charles Mix County, S.D.) 1???-1911, 1907-08-16
NEW YORK.

Growing crops show further good pro
gress toward harvest, and fall trade tends
to expand at leading western and eastern
jobbing eenters. Cross currents are visi-
bit in different industries. Thus while
finished cotton fabrics are in demand
and some makes. notably bleached goods
have been further advanced. there are re-
ports of smaller demand and lower prices
for cotton yarns. In wooden goods, while
high-grade worsted and fine wooden fab
RIGS have sold well, other grades are
slower of sale, and there Is talk of accu-
mutation. In the leather trade there il
more life than of late. and good quality
leather and hides are on better sale, as
are also high-class shoes. Low grades
are slower OF sale, and eastern shipments,
so far, are per cent behind 1906. In
iron and steel the lack OF new buying Ia
still notable and prices tend to ease, as
the mills and furnaces find deliveries
easier to make.
