Dry Goods Markets.

The primary dry goods markets
continue active and there has been
an increase in mill operations in
some sections. buyers have ex-
perienced difficulty in obtaining
some lines of cotton goods for i'm

orders for future delivery has been
noted as a result. The export trade
in cotton goods shows activity of
moderate character, and colored
goods and sheetinGs are again be-
ing shipped to markets that have
bought very sparingly in the past
few months. The retail trade still
finds is necessary to offer mer-
chandise at low prices in order to
move supplies. but liquidation of
stocks is progressing in a satis-
factory manner. Manufacturers
have increased the price of tickings
and some lines of denims / cent

peared for woolens and worsteds for

withdrawal of many lines by the

Mr. Hickey was of that staunch type
which is rapidly passing. In the per-

placer camps in the gulches he saw
it grow to what has become in this
region a great manufacturing enter
prise requiring capital, Scientific
methods of the highest kind COM
bined with highly developed mechan-
ical contrivances. For many years
after he located what is now the
Anaconda mine it was a property of
easy operation. That was in the sill

posts were still comparatively shall

perry on the Hill could be success
