CONDITIONS
ARE NOT So
SHAKY NOW
WHOLESALERS SAY THEIR
SALES ARE NOT UP TO WHAT
THEY WE'RE, BUT CONDITIONS
ARE FAIRLY GOOD.

The wholesalers of the city in all
branches state that their business
for this year has not been what they
expected or hoped for, previous to the
European embroglio, yet, on the
whole, they are not as bad as they
might be, under the circumstances.
The business of the wholesale
houses, on the whole, has not been
as good as it was a year ago, and
their collections are slow. However,
there is a good understanding be-
tween tho retailers and the wholesal-
ers, and there is a spirit existing
between the two branches that por-
tends good to both. The wholesaler
is waiting on the retail merchant.
who is paying as fast as he is able
to make collections.
There has been no perceptible ad-
vance in any OF the necessities of life.
in fact the wholesale merchant is
able to show that several articles
are even lower now than they were
at this time last year.
The foreign war has demoralized
many industries, and the Gamers,
who have been compelled to realize
cash for their stored products, have.
in some instances, sold at a sacrifice,
and thus that particular article has
been lowered. Meats and vegetables
remain steady. with prices about nor
NAL and fruits are in demand, and
lower than last season.
On the whole, the retailers and
wholesalers are not complaining
about present conditions, but are
optimistic of the future, and believe
that after the great war in Europe
has been settled. that better times
will prevail in this country than ever
before, and with this belief firmly
established. are helping each other
N every way possible.
