Dun Sees Much Brighter Out

Jobbcrs Not Complaining.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S special report for
Tho Times-Diepatch on local trado
conditions for the past week Is as
follows:
Tho business outlook has frightened
considerably during the past week. and
a much more optimistic tone is preva-
lent in nearly all quarters. This is
largely due TO the Improvement in the
weather which has made Monday clos
ing unnecessary, and has enabled
manufacturing concerns and coal deal
ers to increase the supply on hand.
Retail trade in the city is very fair:
while marked Improvement is noted
throughout the rural sections since tho
condition of the roads has improved.
While conditions In the local Jobbina
trade arc somewhat irregular, and both
tho embargoes Nni the scarcity of
goods ut the factory tend to restrict
tho volume Of business. most houses
report trade improving a tho season
advances. Dry goods and notions arc
moving in norma! quantities; shoe sales
arc fairly good, and while shipmenta
are more than thirty days behind. but
FEW cancc!la 'ions arc reported. The
drug business has been exceedingly
good for several weeks. due in a largo
measure TO some OF the largest manu-
featuring concerns in the North being
unable TO ship. owing to weather con-
ditions. High prices have had no effect
on the demand.
E'nbarSoes and the scarcity OF labor
have tnconvenicnced harness r:anufac-
surers, and they are at least sixty days
behind with orders
