HARDWARE CONDITIONS
Coadittoa Vary, But the Warmer Weather Is Bringing Increased Demand foe Summer Articles.


 New York. Juno s - Somewhat varying conditions prevailed in the country's hardware markets during the past week. according to reports from leading market centerA Hard ware Age will say tomorrow in its weekly market summary. Where the heat wave has been experienced there has been stimulation in the sale of summer lines such as lawn and garden equipment, sporting goods, auto accessories. and in fact all advanced season merchandise.
 In some instances falling off in trade as compared with last April and May is reported. and in others . backward condition of crops has retarded sales. but these are entirely of . local nature, and tho nation in general is in a highly satisfactory condition as far as hardware sales are concerned.
 The tourist trade has already com nlenced and from this point on will mean 8 great deal to dealers in smaller centeIs.
 The consensus of opinion is that the summer may be looked 10 as q normally healthy one for the hard ware trade.
 Collections are fair.
