WHOLESALE DRY GOODS.

! I
The local wholesale dry goods trade
reports no special features for The
week, but with steady and gratifying
business along all seasonitble lines. The
jobbers report that the big auction
sales down east have not proved the.
disturbing factor In the trade That was.
feared, as purchasers OF big stocks
at these sales have not attempted to
throw their goods on the :narke ut.
cut rate figures. but have held them
stlffly for good prices. 80 the trade
feels relieved. The white goods trnde
has been disappointing SO jobbers say,
as retail houses have declined TO tuka
anything odd lots of desirable waist
ings. and show little interest IN sta
pie lawns, linens. etc. Narrow prints
are active. Fall River sales amounting
Z to 10000 pieces. largely in. these goods.
$Bleached goods have been selling IN
small quantities for quick shipments.
Johbers are looking for lower prices IN
these goods, but trade experts predict
that leading tickets will not be changed
until late this month. Cambrics. long
cloths and the finer bleached goods arc
being bought sparlngly. There is
a steady demand for the best makes
of sheetings and pillow cases made UP;
especially for the WILL advertised
brands now being used as leaders by
retailers. Jobbers report fine ginghams
are not wanted, although the staple
ginghams are doing fairly Well. Knit
goods are moving more brisllly, though
some fall lines are short. For spring,
the high class standard balbrggans. to
retail at SO cents, are in better condition
than most of the fancy lines. On un-
derWear to retail baow % cents. the
competition is killing and selling Is
generally unsatisfactory. Burlap prices
have been cratic.
BUYING IN MODERATION.
In the retail trade. the local buyers
have all returned from their purcl1as-
Ing trip to the eastern cities, ana fait
goods are being received in satlstac-
tory time. The fall season Is beginning
to blossom out, hut most people are
buying in moderation, in children $
school wear. early fall gowns, suits,
waists. medium weight underwear, etc.
The demand for late fall and winter
hats has hardly started up yet. but tho
prediction is that they will all be large,
though at present, the rather narrow
brimmed inverted dish style appears to
be. a fayorite. The general condition
Of the markets appears to be stable
and gratifying.
