believe IN making a camp meeting a
place Of amusement and sight seeing

Trade this week has taken on most

sales. Jobbing houses have received
moderate filling in orders and made
the usual clearance sales FAN buy
ing has been and is cautious. but feel
ing is oonservauvely optimistic.
Such lines as leather. staple worsted
wools. agricultural implements and a
few lines of steel products are more
active, but the great industries as a
whole are below normal activity and
summer shut downs promise to be
more wildly INDUCED in than for some
years past Shoe shipments since
January /, from eastern centers are
the smallest reported for II years.
The rail roads of the country are
making preparations for crop moving
and car repairing material is being
taken more greely. Coal and lumber
are quiet but coke is quite active.
A sligh. decrease in the number Of
idle in the building trades is reported
Labor is still plentiful and cheap.
Southern cotton yard mills have appar-
emily decided against running any lar
ger quantities Of machinery pending
improved demand and prices. There
is reported more doing in the export
cotton trade and low prices are caus-
ing a large distribution Of summer
wash dress fabrics at retail. Col
