r. 6 Dunn & Companys report for
Dun's review for today will say as
to trade conditions in Richmond:
Business continues to improve and
some lines. which have been inactive
for months, are reporting increased
sales. this Is especially true of tobbers
of heavy hardware mill and IaaehiH-
c y supplies. In most staple lines the
volume of business exceeds last
weeks; the number of orders for inn
mediate shipment with some houses
being unprecedented. Collections are
reported from fair to good. Retail
business has been stimulated the past
week by much lower temperatures.
Local building operations show
some improvement and the real estate
market shows a tendency TO rise.
The past week has been the best
since the opening of the tobacco sea-
son and it is thought that from now
on the offerings will be much larger.
