SHARP ADVANCE IN WINDOW GLASS Surinic SiiioUn Nimt Complete mid I'trst Shipment HoIiik Mnilc, nntl from Thin Time on Unoils Will Mine Out Rapidly. Tho business situation In this city has not changed materially during the past week. Jobbers aro doing ft fair amount of business In winter lines, but at the same time they are not being rushed with orders for that clnss of goods. The long-contlnjed warm weather has materially cut down the demand for winter goods nnd ns n result retailers havo nit the stock they need on hand ami aro buying on'y a few odd sizes nnd a few lines which have sold particu larly well. Jobbers arc now devoting the most Of their nttentlon to spring business, which' Is moving nlong nt n very satis factory rate. They havo their spring stocks on hand and nro now prepared to show them to their customers and to make ship ments nt most any 'lime. A few advance orders nro now being lllled and from this tlmo on an Immense nmout t of spring goods will bo shipped from this ut. Ju Hers In nearly all lines have in .better as- ' wirtment of advance orders than thc ever had before at this season of the year und the wny traveling men nro sen dm, ' in orders leadii to the conclusion that busi ness Is going to contlnuo exccpllona Ij heavy throi'ghout the year A obi rs usk Is a normal spring nnd they will breuk all previous records. Tho markots are In good shape nnd com paratively few llucttiutlons have taken Jilnci) since last report.

There Is no chango In tho quotations on sugar, but tho market Ih In a good, strong position nntl prices nro neing neiu very ilrm. As reported it week ugo, the dried fruit ultuntlon Ik not exactly satisfactory to those most directly Interested. That class of goods docs not sell well In warm weather una as an extremely mild winter hum won experienced an over mo country siocks are lnrcn and ah a result (he market Is show ing weakness, Severn! lines, are now quoted n little easier than they wore a short time ugo. It Is thought that a few weeks of cold weather would Increase tho consump tion and In tliut event better prices might realm. Canned goods, nnd particularly tomatoes nro In n good, strong position nnd It Is still being predicted that later In tho season higher prices will rule. In farinaceous goods beans are quoted 2tf3q per hii'hol lower than they were a week ago. Hulk oatmeal Is also a little easier, utner lines handled by local Job bers remain practically unchanged.
