Ribbon Trade Sentiment Good.

Quietness prevails in the ribbon mar
ket, but It's dealers are looking forward
TO renewed activity in the early months
of this year. Sales after the middle o.
last month were few. but q good deal
of sampling was In evidence by out OF
town buyers. Advanced buying Is ex-
pected to develop for spring trade about
the 18th OF this month, and probably
will continue until March or April
Prices are practically unchanged. The
few small jobbers compelled - >s-s ose
OF their holdings for immediate cash

position. Two toned ribbons are still
in demand In 3. Q and $50 widths.

AMONG THE MERCHANTS.
Await wooden Prices.

Interest IL growing daily IN the local
trade with respect to the prices expected
to be announced soon by the American
Woolen Company. Details In connection
with the opening by this company are
now being completed end the process OF
marking goods and arranging display
samples Is In progress. The opening is
expected about the middle Of this
month. The present uncertainty hang
ing over the market. combined with
the fact that the American Woolen
Company controls the greater share of
these goods, makes their opening prices
of paramount interest to the trade.
Opinion appears general that the price
ranges to be announced will be un-
changed. but a few dealers believe that
prices will be higher.

CHICAGO PRICES.

The report that Argentina was offer
ing wheat abroad for 10 cents less than
its price in the United States could not
be confirmed among cash wheat traders
here. In fact, many OF them were In
cllned to doubt the report, as prices
quoted earlier in the day showed only
difference of about cents a bushel.
The export trade was interested in the
announcement that Germany would have
larger supplies of wheat and rye than
last year. Sales of cash wheat were
only about 100000 bushels. Corn sales
were estimated at about 1000 bushels.
