Tils volume of business Tran-ada.1 br local jobbers dui-.ng the last week ha not n the who)- bwn as large as for Uf pre ens; week. The reason given ht that tin colder weather early In the week rather ut' stop to spring buying.

Thev are buying freelv in aniidpatlan of future re quirements and a rw sprtnc goods are al ready buna- shipped. The market has shown no change at a'l during: thw week, all Ines being auoied the same as they wero a week ago. Jbbbers a a rule are not looking for any radical changes in the near future and predict simply a healthy active, strong market There u but little doubt that the demand will be equal to the production In mot' lines and for that reason those best posted say that merchants ne-d not heMiaie to place as liberal orders as their circum stances will allow Dnyers ,ot as Xnmeroni. . There were not as many buyers in the dry goods market last week as have beer eomln In of late. The colder weather seemed to havo temporarilv kept them at home. It. however, helped merchants to clean out some of tllelr winter lines and put them In better hnpe lor buying Ttlng stocks. A" Targe attendance of buyers is anticipated this week and Jobbers w!l In all probability do- a alee house buMnesa. The onlr reat.ire to the iry goods market Is the downward course if tho price on sswtng silk. Thar line has been too high In comparison o the market on silk ?oodB and if the expected reiluctlon Is made the two will be just about upon a par and price will then be settle.!.

Wherever they havo not too much winter stock .in hand they are placing aulte liberal .rdrrs. There is a great dal of confidence regarding th tut come of spring trade and rserehants are banking on doing th Wirsest huslneM ver experienced In this section of the ntntrv The snow hud a good effect npott 'he Trade In rubber goods and merchants are not as heRVltv loaded with that '-lass .f goods as they were a couple of weeks ago. Somo (if them who did not buv vrv heavtlv ar practically sold out. but at the satn'o time there tn a large amount v: winter stock In the hands of rtullers. That will, of course, be very detrimental tj trade next 'all. Spring rubber gnods are. beginning 'o move out tn good shape and s are athletic goods. All that Jobbers ask for Is a nor mal prtnir and they say they will do enough business to satlsfv mont anyone. fruits and I'rodurr. The demand for fruits anil vegetables Is keeping up In good shape and Jobbers say they ar- filing more goods han they wer a year ago at Oils time.
