ReOiew of Weeks
Trade in Richmond

Its Territory That At
feet Local Business.

r. q. Dun 6 Co. makes special re-
port to The Times Dispatch on con-
ditions of trade in the Richmond trad
ing territory as follows:
While buying is still above normal
for this season, there has been some
falling off in the volume of business
compared with previous weeks. Some
dealers prefer to buy cautiously until
better assured As to how prices will be
effected by proposed legislation.
Jobbers report good business in
shoes, groceries and provisions. Do
mcstiS consumers Of coal are not put
ting in their winter supply as early as
formerly. although dealers expect no
decrease in retail prices.
More favorable weather has bettered
crop prospects. corn is looking better
and there is Il much larger yield OF
vans and white potatoes than had been
expected. The condition of cotton has
improved although the final yield will
be below normal. The tobacco crop
in Virginia, in spite of the increased
acreage, is expected TO be % per cent
short.
Local banks report strong demand
for money and do not look for any con-
siderable altering of conditions until
the marketing of the tobacco and cot
ton crops is we'll under way.

TEXTILES SLOW DOWN
Caution In Buying by Jobbcrs Indi-
cntes That They Look for
Lower Dry Goods.

According to Dun's view OF the sit
uation. hesitation In textile channels
has not been passing condition, but
rather of progressive character. Some
ShrinkaCc of business is not unusual
before La Dor Day. but other than sea-
sonal influences chiefly account for the
quietness which has lately developed.
and many people do not look beyond
the price agitation and in the indus
trial unrest TO find the explanation
for it,
Opinions regarding the price ques-
tion have undergone decisive reversal
and offering of staple cottons by job
bcrs at quotations below those named
by selling agents is taken as an in
dication OF doubt among distributors
AS to their ability TO pass higher prices
on to retailers. Many mill rcprcsen-
tatives believe that tho situation will
clear quickly after the holiday. but pri-
vate adviccs from points in the West
and South have told of unmistakab
caution in buying and of the desire
Of some customers to be relieved Of the
obiiGation of part OF their advance
orders.
The trend of foreign trade. mean
while. has been changing. and. al
though the need abroad arc great in
many instances. the unsettlemcnt in in
ternational exchange is factor operat-
ms against expansion of exports.

Naccinnfe I'm Time.

Experiments by agents Of the United
States Agricultural Department show
that timeliness in vaccinating hogs
against cholera is all important. When
exposed hogs were vaccinatcd, while
still apparently healthy, losses
amounted TO only 4 per cent, but whcr
vaccination was deferred until the ami.
mails showed external signs of sickness
losses averaged nearly % per cent
This shows that the man who puts off
the preventive treatment until his hogs
are sick with cholera stands only
about one chance in seven of prevent
ing fatal results. 1t is important, also
TO maintain hog yards and barns in
clean and sanitary condition.
