Weekly Review Of Trade tomor-
will say:
Retail trade. especially hat Of a
holiday character. is on an immense
scale. The fax is that the ountr Is
carrying over into the new year a
greatly enhanced buying power. due
chiefly to the big cropS-bOth the
output and the value OF h leading
products Of the soil reaching unpre-
cedented figures this year.
AS against the confidence thus IN
spired the political developments
abroad serve to cause some uncer-
tainty.
Iron and steel production IS prac-
tical,y up to capacity and the leading
interests are far behind on deliveries.
While the primary dry goods markets
are ~seasonably quiet. they continue
firm and retail trade is better than
at this time q year ago. The general
situation. is regarded as encouraging
and jobbers and retailers are dolng
a good business. Export trade is quiet
though some inquiries have been re-
ceived from China. Business ia foot
wear is generally dull. There has
ben no check to the clinging tendency
of all kinds OF nc and stock.

The mail order house is con sta ntlv hammering away on low

 has convinced thousands of country

 they get millions of dollats in oe-

 To get these orders the mail or-
 der houses have overcome tremen- dous obstacles-obstacles that are
 not in the way -af the home dealer at all. Yet they have persisted in ! advertising. adveetising, adseFns ing low prioesvana money saving. while the local dealer has with
