The big feature OF tho week Is pro-
vidcd by the government assumins.con-
troll OF tho railroads. while temporary
dullncss in trade is the Distinguishing
characteristic OF the post-ho!iday pc
riod.
1nvcntoryinE Is the rule, and sales
men arc off the road. Incidentally, the
customary clearance sales conducted by
retail dealers arc on. and at the same
time strong efforts arc being made in
parts of the country TO dispose OF
heavyweight clothing. thus setting up
the plausible inference that civilian
buying of such goods has been below
tho expected level. Yet while the cry
Is for economy and while prices under
normal conditions would be prohibitivc
the buyer is confronted with the Tact
that stocks OF staple goods are extra
ordinarily light, which situation mega
tires the disposition 10 purchase in
small quantities and as requirements
become clearly evident.

Hradstreet's Report

: ~,
mond and vicinity:
Taking into consideration the adj
verse conditions. the years trading has
heen exceptionally good. both as to
volume and profits. Fewer new en-
tterprises have been commenced than
IN any recent year and fewer failures
nave occurred. but the voluntary re-
tircinent OF many small concerns has
trles are in contemplation. Among
the most important features of trade
nave been the enormous volume of or
GERS Tor military purposes. the great
and the general advance in prices OF
practically ali staple comm ODDITIES. par
ticuiarlH farm products. Manufacture
ers in practically all lines have operat-
sales OF merchandise by Wholesalers,
have generally far exceeded any pre-
vious year. Railroads have been over
loaded with traffic and deliveries have
been slow, though few Of them hav.
profited financially. because Of the in
creased cost OF operation. Crops have
been generally good throughout the
district, have sold for high prices. and
farmers are generally in a more pros
porous condition than i'll any recent
year: Manufacturers of agricultural
iertilizers have had enormous sales and
a large portion of their output have
been engaged for the coming season.
Building and construction. aside from
government work. have been a, a
rather low cbh. and little new work is
in contemplation for the near future
THIS condition is principally attributed
to the high cost OF material and labor.
The financial situation has remained
favorable throughout the year Banks
have broken all previous records both
as to deposits. resources and clcarinEs.
and collections have been steadily good.
Tho new year will hold many new con-
ditlonS which must be met, but traders
arc proceeding with caution and face
the future with confidence"
