fessions an6 their presence here is as
! important as the building activity
which is attracting them. A bit of
pleasing news during the latter part
! of the week was that the difficulties
| between the master and lourneymen
! plumbers had been adjusted by com
| promise and that the union men had re-
| turned to work.
Hardware Business Good.
The hardware dealers say that their
business during March surpassed that
of any previous year, having exceeded
that Of March, 1906, fully Twenty-Five
per cent. The condition Of tho roads
in the mining districts is improving and
larger business is being done In min
ing supplies. The wholesale dealers
trade with all kinds of goods for their
spring trade Among these supplies
may be mentioned garden and farm
tools, household hardware, wire fencing
and some builders hardware.
Wholesale Trade.
With the improvement OF freight
traffic the wholesale dry goods houses
are receiving larger conslgnmcnts from
the East and the mills arc gradually
filling the orders with which they were
overwhelmed two months ago. How
low and Amoskeags are entirely OF the
local wholesale market. The price or
all hlcachcd goods is advancing, tex
tiles are firm, the demand for laces Is
heavy. while business in print cloths
is quiet and tho jobbers have practical
ly no prints for nearby delivery
The wholesale grocery business was
somewhat better last week than during
the week preceding but was still some
what curtailed by the fact that the
Salt Lake route Will accept no freight
consigned to southern Nevada. Not
withstanding the fact that shipments
from the East are slow the local whole
sale groccrs are now carrying a full
line of goods.
Department Stores Busy,
Saturday was a big day in the de-
preceding Easter the shoppers patron
ized tho millinery departments priu-
cipa!lv and gave secondary attention 10
The nick nacks in other departments.
Dress goods, wash fabrics, linens, wo-
men S neckwear, veilings. gloves and
handkerchrefs We're in demand. The
business in suits. jackets and skirts
was also somewhat heavier than usual.
The demand for men furnishings was
rather light during the week, owing,
presumably to the unsettled condition
of the weather. The shoe departments
were among the busy sections of the
department stores yesterday and the
business was limited almost entirely 10
oxford g and children 5 footwear.
