''Wc are nearly 10 per cent ahead
Of The showing for the corresponding
week Of 1905 was the remark made
by the manager of one Of the big dry
goods houses during the week and the
statement that trade is good has been
heard all over the city. People arc
feeling good they say 1.-The warm
weather, the activity displayed during
the recent campaign for the y, NJ. e.,
a., the influx Of visitors and investors
from other localities and the usual
happy disposition which occurs in the
spring time when young men 5 fancy
tuIES to new sultings and the young
a0ics think of handsome big hats, is
the cause of great energy and activity
by every one.
''Reports from surrounding districts
arc excellent - is the statement of
wholesale dealers. Hardware men CON,
mcnt on the demand for all kinds OF
goods and the general quality OF or
dcrs. Wholesale baseball goods, suits
for clubs in the country districts, and
tennis supplies have constituted fea-
turc of the trade during the week.
Builders supplies, iron pipe and hit
iings. fencing Of all kinds and Il gen
cral demand for lawn mowers and gar
len tools has shown that the out of door
spirit is strong over the land.
Refrigerators in Demand
In strictly local supplies, refrigcrators
have headed the list with gasoline
stoves, hammocks and photo supplies a
lose second. Harness and saddlcrv.
summer laprobes and automobile fit
tings have sold well and in keeping
with The usual demand at this time, OF
the year.
The clothing people have been wear
ing smiles and the long stream of Gus
toners purchasing summer Quitting
goods has seemed TO justify the happy
feeling. House furnishings dealers re-
mort the demand heavy, and carpets
and rugs. and even furniture have sold
like the proVcrbial hot cakes. Kitchen
utensils. garden supplies and small ar
ticles for use in the home and TO be
used in fitting up for the coming sum
rncr season have constituted large

planting additional quantities Of food
s;uffs for use on that occasion:
Goods for ladies wear, especially the
lighter materials, such as summer
dresses. white goods and lingerie. mus,
Inns and the like as well rs Oxford
shoes and pumps have been unusually
active. In the departments devoted 10
the sale OF notions, leather goods. such
as hand bags. stationery, toilet goods
and supplies. it is said that there have
bocn large increases IN the amount OF
business over that of last year.
Demand fog Lumber.
\ significant fact in connection with
thc lumber trade is the large demand
for building materials and the state
men; that most of the concerns have
been compelled 10 make use of addl-
iional teams to handle the delivery to
The suburban districts aud the new ad'
ditions which have grown mp about the
city. The curtailng of the output of
lumber I'm the northwest is said to he
responsible for slight Tightening OF
the market, although there has been
li;tie perceptibc eject thus far on the
retail supply.
Finances are strong. Collections are
"a tc the average. the demand for
moncv for investment is large, with sup
plies fairly easily obtaiuablc. The no
ticoablc increase in tho bank clearing
totals is pointed 10 as an excellent IN
dcx of business conditions here. cspe-
cially IN the mining conditions OF the
southwest. Interest rates are strong
but arc apparently n small detcrrant TO
in cstors.
