be unusually large, and Jobbers are laying
ineir ians accnroingiy.
But while house trade last week was not
as brisk as It baa been at some limes, or
ners from traveling men and also direct
from merchants mere as liberal as ever,
and In many casea were even heavier. In
a number of llnea traveling men are carry,
lng samples of spring goods, and are meet
ing with exoepthmally good success in landing-future
business as well as Immediate
orders. Taking everything Into considera
tion, the opinion of both wholesalers and
retailers is that the outlook for future busi
ness could not be better, and tbev are all
counting on a record-bieaklng trade
throughout the fall and winter.
The markets have fluctuated to sx.me ex
tent during the week, hut still the changes
have not t-cn of a radical or startling ua
ture There Is a general frellng of firmnees
on practically all classes of goods, and
with the bright outlook for future business.
Indicatlops may be said to l.e favorable for
good, healthy markets for some time to
come.
Collections are reported aa being quite
satisfactory, and as good as usual at this
season of the year.
Sagar Streaat. f ogfra Hlaaer.
Wholesale gitirera report the demand for
their linn of goods as being very heavy f ir
even this time of year. The market la also
I In good condition, and while a number of
t-aaujee nave taaen eneci, most or inui
are in the tiature of advances. The sugar
market is cjuoled at about the same as it
was week ago. but still prices are very
firm on both raws and refinad On Friday
local Jobtwra received oahle advices from
Iondon to the effect that the Ot'lobar roar
ket ou raw beeta Is l-lc higher than for
Septemter. N--w Vork rentiers repoii
heavy withdrawals, and they are still be.
hind with their order. This, together with
the delays in transportation. has reduced
local stocks to some extent, but still Job
bers ere able tn fill all orders promptly.
The output In this section so far has been
exceptionally good, but still hardly np to
expectations in i-ome quarters. This is
probably owing to the large fruit crop early
In the season, which gave consumers an op
portunity to put up a large part of their
needs in the way of Jams and preservea,
which has had a tendency to curtail the
late demand. v
The coffee market Is still advancing.
Prices now in force are to higher
than those quoted a week ago,, and still
higher prices are being confidently pre
dicted for the near future. Reports from
Rraril sre rather discouraging, as it is
claimed that serious damage ass done to
September Towering, and, besides, that
many of the plant tiona are so badly run
down that It all! take considerable time
to repair them. With the heavy withdraw
als that are going on, together with the
light receipts, it is hard to tell what the
final outcome a 111 be. Well Infcrmed buy
era. howevrr. predict higher prices, partic
ularly on the lower grades.

reports a large pack vf corn, ami while
this atock does not come west. It does go
into territory that would otherwise have
to be supplied from Illinois and Indiana.
New York and Maine report light packs
and the west will have to fill up the g.ips
caused by the shortage in those localities,
which, as it how appears, will amount to
from 25 to ft per cent No change in the
market, though, has taken pliice since last
report.
The salmon market Is in practically the
same position it was a week ago, except
that Sockeyea and Chlnonks are practl.

Little of interest has lnken place In the
dried fruit market during the last several
days. There will undoubtedly Jje a large
output of prime evanorated apoles and the
market is a trifle easier. R'lspWrrtes have
advanced lc per ro"?!d nd the market Is
very strong at the advance. California
Iaches are unrhii ng-d. and the same is
true of apricots, prunes and ralsina.
Cotton Goods Asoa Steady.
No change in the price ofl stanle cotton
goods has gone Into effect duVlng the week
under review, and none are looked for bv
well ported buyers. Heeent reductions on
some lines of bke:i h d griods iind on ticks
and ginghams make those lines look cheap
when the present Trae of cotton is con
sidered. The gcncr.il tu lief undoubtedly Is
that u good, strong, healthy ru n la I for

owing to the fact that nierchnnts mho

to combine treasure Wllh hutdneaa mnA
the Ak-Sar-Bco carnival. A large number J
of traveling salesmen from nearb terrl
tory will be In the city next week and
week after to look after the wants of their
customers.
Orders from traveling men last week
and also those direct, were fully up to the
usuul standard, which shows that mer
chants are well ssatisfled with the outlook
for future business. Those who have been
in the city for the last few days are, in
fact, more confident of a good fall and
winter trade than they have been for aev.
eral years past, and all agree that If busl.
ness Is ever going to be good It certainly
will be this year.
Many of the salesmen for local Jobbers
are now carrying their spring stmples and
are taking some nice ordera. It looks now
as though advance ordera on spring lines

Big Desuasial for Hardware.
Hardware Jobbers still report business as
being unusually brisk for this time of vear.
The few cool days experienced last week
and the week before undoubtedly stimu
lated the demand for stoves, stove boards
stove pipe, elbows and In fact for all
staple and seasonable lines. People now
reMixe that winter is close at hand and at
a remit they are buying freely of such
lines aa thev need. Jobbers aay their s lies

some caM-s they are heavier. i

the condition of the market. While there
mny have been some minor chances, none
of the more lmrrtsnt lines hnve fluctuated
during the week. The nm r ket Is tn a good
healthy condition, and with the excellent
demand that is being experienced in tl
sections the impression is that prices will
be i,rm for some time to come.
Leather Goods More Brisk.
Leather goods jobbers experienced a aloe
trade last week, orders coming very freely
from both traveling men and also direct
from merchanla. Quite tt few buyers were
also In the city. There is no doubt In the
minds of wholesalers but what their sales
this fall will be fully a. good us a yea?
ago, and some of them are counting on
