Demand for Iron and Steel Is
Well Maintained.
Dry Goods Market Shows Improve.

New York, Jan. Pr. G. Dun K
COS. Weekly Review of Trade, tomor
row. will say:
The situation in business is of
mixed and various character. While
there is Iessened demand for iron
and steel products-a natural re-ae-
ton from the November and December
activity-the volume of business is well
maintained in spite of the falling off
in rev railroad buying. Large orders
for plates are reported and an advance
in wire is announced.
Trading in the dry goods market
showed noticeable expansion this
week. Demands for cotton goods was
more general and while there was
some tendency towards conservatism,
there was good buying III all standard
lines and little or no complaint was
made regarding prices. Sales at Fall
River. last week, We're about $4,000
pieces of print cloths and convertibles.
and trading, this week, is steady with
advances of 1-16 and II cent ON some
number. Brown and bleached Sheetings
are being bought moderately. Some
business is Offering in prints and sta
pie singhams. DENNIS have advanced
another quarter cent. Miscellaneous
trading is holding up steadily, but bids
from China are too low to induce bus
mess. Red sea trading is good in some
goods. Wooden goods, Western jobbers
report improved conditions and are
buying more freely in the primary
markets. In dress goods the demand
for nearby shipment of serges, whip
cords and fancies is noticeable.
Visiting footwear buyers have oper-
ated literally in spring and summer
goods in the Boston market and {,
fair business is being received through
travelling statesmen, so that the facto
ries continue busy and the outlook
is for steady employment. Conditions
in the leather market are irregular,
some kinds being more active, while
there is n falling off in others. In
leather for travelling bags, suit cases
etc. recent sales are estimated as
amounting To 1907 900 sides Sole leath-
er is firm but not active. Calfskins
sell more freely than most other Va
rieties, although specialties inside arc
we'll taken, Western packer hides
continued active, with further sales
estimated at 125, 600, making q total for
fortnight of close to 100000. Full
prices are secured and the market is
very strong as to the quality Of hides
