BRADSTREET'S REVIEW
At Many of Jobbing Centers Are Nu
merous Buyers.
Bradstreet's says: House trade at
large centers ha been improved 10 a
considerable extent by the? presence of
numerous visiting buyers. Staple
comnioditii s, such as dry goods, wool,
print cloths and clothing, show the ef
tact! or the better buying movement.
Withal there is no disposition to lead
tip or to spei nlate as to th- gutter, In
fact, the tendency is to buy sparingly
and to await developments. In the
circumstances trade may be termed
disappointing, but there Is a tendency
to look for better thlng.i now that con
gross has adjourned and that one dis
turbing feature- tariff legislation e
i "legated to the more or less distant
future. Cooler weather has Improved
retail trad" to a moderate degree, bui
developments in this as in other lines
are not satisfactory, and eurn nt
clearance sales with marked reduc
tions In prices evidently leave little
room ror profits. Crop reports show
little significant change, while com
modity prices to not display any mat"
rial differences, the undertone of the
latter on the whole being firm.
