LOCAL TRADE CONDITIONS
Little Change Reported in Cotton;
Steel Market Improving.
But little chnnge la reported In the local
cotton conditions compared with previous
week, nlthouEh manufacturers of hosletv
and undeiwenr report conditions In their
line aio still improving and In u number
of ca'es the mills are working full
time, say It. G Dun & Co In their
weekly review. Somo dlfflculty Is being
experienced In having their goods dyed
promptly, nnd tho dyers In bomo ensis
have Increased their prices. The wool
mnrket is cjulet, but prices remain firm.
Dealers In worsted yarns report business
exceedingly dull, there being but little
hpbt business nnd but few- Inquiries
These conditions arc occasioned by lack
of business among the local knitters nn.I
weavers nnd no chnngo Is looked for In
the immediate future.
Manufacturers of shirt waists stato that
tho season thus far Is ono of tho best
.they have had for some time. They con
tinue to experience dilllculty In getting
help. The last few weeks lino shown
more activity In business among the silk
and cotton diess manufacturers. With
few exceptions, trade has been generally
quiet among the manufacturers of men's
and boys' clothing:. They state they are
experiencing some difficulty In making
collections.
Jobbers of woolens, etc , selling prin
cipally to tho near-by trade, report busi
ness at present quite active, sales for the
month having shown a substantial In
crease Shirt manufacturers state that
thc are fairly active; the- senson has
been a reasonably satisfactory one Re
tailers of dry goods and men's furnishings
report n slight Increase In sales.
There appears to be no great activity In
tho hardware line at this time, with tho
exception of seasonable goods. The prices,
however, appear to be firm, and thoso
consulted are of the impression that a
recovery of business Is near. Some quar
ters are more favorably Impressed with
tho outlook for futuro business than
others, but, generally speaking, confidence
Is expressed that business will become
more nearly normal In the near future.
In tho department of collections, some au
thorities report that tho Southern busi
ness Is much better, although thero ap
pears to be considerable room for Im
provement In this line.
The market in Iron nnd steel continues
to show Improvement nnd new orders are
reported to continue Railroad buying Is
somewhat more In evidence. Pig Iron re
mains rather quiet, though a somewhat
better tonnage Is reported. Stocks are
said to be small, but to have somewhat
increased during the past month.
Denlers In electrical goods report a sat
isfactory volume of business and note an
increase In present month over preceding
month and slightly In advance of the
same period last year. The stove trade is
fairly well emplojed, considering the sea
son of he year; foundries are operating
at about GO per cent, capacity. The leather
market continues firm but only moderate
ly active. Condition's in the lumber trade
continue unfavorable; demand Is slack
and prices not stable.
