uARpWARB RUSH DUE,

The hardware trade reports the de-
mand from the mining camps as rath-
er quiet at present on account of the
condition OF the roads and the in
clcmency Of the season but that when
spring opens there VIII be a tremon-
dous impetus TO trade. Dealers re-
port a general belief among Nevada
purchasers that the Salton sea is re-
sponslble for the heavy precipitation
throughout Nevada this winter.
The lumber men report local yard
stocks as diminishing on account OF
the washouts in Oregon which have
prevented any freight trains leaving
Portland for number of days, This
has cut off shipments to this city;
hut with the .e-establishment OF traf-
fc there will be a replenishing OF the
yards, Shingles are UP rs cents per

cause of remark in the trade, with
speculation as TO when relief VIII

ing back seat.
WHOLESALE DRY GOODS.
The local wholesale dry goods trade
reports steady advance In staple cot
tons, in fact they appear TO be mount
ing skyward, double width sheetngs
having advanced three cents In three
days, There is a big and growing de-
mand with corresponding scarcity in
labor. so that the Fall River Mass,
mills are not producing over half of
their capacity. With wages at the
highest notch. operatives prefer TO work
on reduced time, or are drifting of in
TO other lines of industrial activity
where they find there is more money.
Ginghams and prints are very slow
Blankets are higher. The trade re-
ports prices back east at standards
that obtained during the Civil war, how
much higher they will so without cur
failing the demand, is beginning to be
considered. Then the inability TO get
goods from the east under months after
ordering, Is causing much mental wear
and tear. One firm reports car con-
tanning its goods laid up on siding in
transit for rs days. The explanation
given was that there We're no locomo-
tiYes to haul the freight offered and
on hand.
Jobbers report the demand for fine
wash fabrics, even at Shis early date
bids fair to absorb everything OF value
offered. The advance made from day
10 day naturally bring jobbing house
profits UP to a high limit, and January
was record breaker in that direction.
February bids fair to exceed it az
buyers are apparently scared and are
taking goods on sight. Fancy shirtings.
walstings and fancy colored cotton
dress goods for the spring of 1908 are
being offered. AS these goods are rare
~ shown In February, this anticipa-
ton by from three to six weeks the
regular date of opening the new spring
season lines, is attracting attention.
All classes of cotton dress goods and
wash fabrics have sold readily for the
past three or four months for the COM
ing spring sea son, and heavy orders for
fall have been booked. Silk manufac,
turers are closing out spring piece
goods in plain and fancy styles at ad-
vantageous prices. Curtailment in
production IN all American mills and
strict holding down to order on import
demand. The linen season continues
strong. with jobbers and retailers
stocks being steadily diminished despite
efforts to re-esta blish them.
RETAIL TRADE.
The retail dry goods trade reports the
situation practically the same as last
week. but with new dress goods arriv-
ing, and women calling for new suits
for their boys, as well as new suits for
themselves and wear suitable for lato
winter and early spring. There Is also
a call for millinery goods: and as people
are furnishing new houses and refur-
nishing old ones. there Is a demand for
carpets, curtains, etc.
The demand for gloves seems to have
been supplied, so the dear ladies arc
on Easy street now, In that respect.
The clothing trade reports rather
quiet week. with the demand gradual
IN getting off onto spring styles. Hats
and heavy wear are still selling well.
