 ''The sale of seasonal goods in the hardware market is more or less con- fined at present because Of tho un- favorable weather, and the disposition on the part of buyers to order on q hand-to-mouth basis.
 Retail stocks arc light, and jobbers anticipate that a warm spell will bring retailers into the market for substantial orders Generally speak, ing, collections are slow.
 There is a general attitude of vatchfnl waiting in the market, and neither the manufactures, nor the jobber is willing to commit himself very far ahead. Building, however, continues, md the demand for con- tractors supplies, builders hardware and both carpenters and mechanics tools is strong"
