NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 25.-Hard-
ware stores, in agricultural States.
particularly In the, South and South
west, are handling q steady, almost
normal volume Of transactions con-
sidering the season. Many stores in
those sections are able to spend, but
there Is caution in placing large pur-
chases and not much activity In
placing orders for the future Much
Of this hesitancy is the result OF I'M
certainty as to activities in Washing
ton. Hardware Age declares in its
semi-monthly market summary.
"Seasonable merchandise is most
prominent in present orders. with
preparations being made for the sale
Of farm, garden and other outdoor
merchandise. Complete stocks OF
wholesale hardware distributors are
proving very welcome to those stores
which did not place orders during the
fall and winter for spring merchan-
disc. Prices are not much below
those which might have been en-
joyed had the same lines been ordered
two or three months ago for spring
delivery.
Despite sharp drops in many ma
terials last fall 1t is notable that hard
ware values have suffered relatively
little. While declines have occurred
they have been gradual and so scat
tered as to cause very slight inventory
losses

BOSTON. Feb. 25.-The CONNER
cial Bulletin will say tomorrow: ''The
downward trend of wool values has
been halted by the belief that the
Government, through the Commodity
Credit Corp, is to make substantial
loans to the wool producers on both
the 1887 and 1888 woods. The details
Of the loan apparently are not settled,
but Is cents is an average price now
being discussed as possible. Holders
OF wool are inclined to ask more
money for their woods in view of the
upward trend in top futures.
"The trade, also. is bit less ap-
prehensive over the probable provi-
sions in the proposed British trade
treaty now pending.
Manufacturers are not willing to
pay any more money for wool, appar-
emily, since there is little in the piece
goods picture to stimulate wool buy
ing.
Foreign markets are rather er-
ratio. Fine wools are fairly steady,
with crossbreds rather weak.
Further sales of early-shorn Ari-
zona woods were made early In the
week at 177s to 18ss cents or around
IS cents. clean, landed Boston. Other
wise the West has been quiet, except
