BUFFALO, September 27.--The in-
creased activity in trade following the
few days of cooler weather has again
relapsed into a normal condition, and
merchants generally repcrt trade only
fair and collections poor. Little activ-
ity is noted in the boot and shoe trade
lowing to the advance in the price
tof leather, which caused early
stocking up and the placing of large
orders.

| CINCINNATI, September 27. — Busi-

{| however are not large sized, but cover
a wider territory than usanal. The de-
mand for iron and steel dces not abate,
and the feeling continues strong. Man-
{ ufacturers say they do not want a
further advance at present, as prices
{are at a point where any further ap-
-preciation will encourage importations

to such an advantage that the entire
interior looked quite like a glimpse of |
fairyland. On the first floor, whichis |
| devoted exclusively to dry goods, was

ducts elicited the surprise and admira-

collection of beantiful and exclusive
‘styles would be difficult to describe.
| Suffice it to say, however, that the
‘scene with its artistic drapings of
i multi colored ribbons, gracefully fes-
tooned, the colors as beautifully blended |
i and shadecl as if done by the artist's
' brush was indeed a charming one. The
third floor is adapted entirely to the
| display of carpets, curtains, draperies,
etc., and complete lines of every grade
‘to the finest produced are kept con-
stantly in stock. The. visit through
‘this large emporium was a pleasure-
‘able one and Mr. Quinn is certainly an odd looking vegetable.
