Northern and Western centers is very
large. and there is distinct gain ia
the jo55lrg distribution Of fall and win
ter dry goods. shoes. clothing. hats, and
millinery
Optimism as TO the future is noted and
the practical completion OF the fan grain
harvest. especially Of spring wheat. and
the advance Of the corn crop toward ma
tur.;y have made for an accentuation
OF the more Conservative feeling. Several
markets report that while buying is small

heavy the aggregate volume "f bus.-
ness doing is the largest for a year past
"a warm late fau is desirable for the
complete maturing OF corn and cotton,
but a yieId CT the former equal 10 last

IS expected 10 break al records. provid-
