encouraging; country trade promises
to be heavy: Industrial lines are be-

hands absorb large part of the float
ing supply of labor and the long
drawn out discussion regarding tariff
matters promises to be soon ended.
On the other hand the general situa-
tion Is not without Its drawbacks.
Cooler, rainy weather has retarded
retail trade over q good part of the
country. particularly In the central
west. south and southwest. where
floods have also deferred railway traf-
fic and injured crops and country
trade. At the same time clearance
sales are pretty general and these tend
to stimulate business where normal
weather conditions prevail In whole
sale and jobbing iinea current trade
Is OF midsummer character and re-
orders are comparatively light.
Moreover, the high prices that have
prevailed for raw material suggest
small profits on many manufactured
articles.
Collections range from poor to fair.

report prompt settlement.

Purchasing In cotton goods markets
was limited considerably az q con-
sequence of the current government
report on cotton conditions and by the
active cotton speculation. While high

Further advances have again been
scored In the hide market Leather

pecially In heavy weight stock. but
business now Is less active than a
