Saturday will say: 2.{54
Manufacturing and jobbing showed
the usual seasonal tendency to Sdraw
away apparently from retail trade
This, however, ws rather because of
q slight slowing down in retail than
because of any speeding up in the
other business branches, which "heIo
their gait very we'll but showed no
Particularly notable Improvement
The stock market was more active
with irregular price movements, and
grains fluctuated over a fair range
with weakness showing in corn,
which was said to be in a condition
demanding early marketing.
Wholesale trade was satisfactory
although bad country roads in the
middle west and heavy falls of snow
in the north and east retared buying
to some extent This factor also af-
fected retail trade, which was as pre-
viously noted, inclined to be dull
while still well ahead of last year.
The wool trade was very quiet, fol-
lowing the heavy weight openings,
in spite of some good orders placed
for the new lines. Manufacturers APP
parently adopted a waiting policy on
the price question.
