PHILADELPHIA TRADE QUIET
Prospects Poor for Obtaining Supplies
of Australian Wool.

Little change Ia reported in the gem
eral conditions of Philadelphia trade. Ac-
cording to Dun's Review, the local cotton
business Ia quiet and unsatisfactory.
Prices remain about the same, and no
change is looked FOR I'm the immediate
future, In the local wool market no
new features have developed during the
last week. Buying is, as a rule. in
small lots for immediate use, and manu-
fucturers, as a rule, do not show any
desire to anticipate requirements. Sup
plies are light and prices well maintained
ON all desirable grades.
There appears to be no change I'm the
situation as far as the British embargo
on the shipment of wool is concerned. and
II appears propects are no better than
they were a week ago for obtaining sup
plies Of Australia woods. South American
woods reported as firm, with a good de-
mand from Europe. which has had
tendency to increase prices. Trade among
tile shirtwaist and dress line is generally
quiet Cloak and suit manufacturers
state they are doing little or nothing. all
though they have made preparations for a
good spring business and have their lines
out. {.
Notions, hosiery and underwear jobbers
have been fairly active during the last
month, and In this particular line there
is slight Improvement in collections.
Wholesale dry goods houses report but
little change in business conditions.
Men and boys clothing manufacturers
have reported the seasons business only
fair. the trade buying cautiously and col
lections slow. Among local manufacturers
OF goods there appears but little indica-
tion OF Improvement in business, although
some manufacturers report they are fairly
well engaged, but this condition appears
to be only in spots.
Conditions in the hardware trade at this
time do not show any particular improve
mcnt over that of last week. II is the
impression expressed by those consulted
that greater feeling OF confidence Is
being shown than heretofore. Generally
speaking, the outlook for improvement in
the near future Is said to be good. In the
department Of collections there is no ma
terial Improvement to be noted Some
quarters report collections as being better
than heretofore, while others express the
opposite opinion
