centers colder weather has stimulated the sales in dry goods clothing and shoes Woolen dress gods are not sold a actively as in previous pre-vious weeks jobbers not carrying supplies beyond what the public are likely to take before January 1 Encouragement is gotten got-ten from improved demand for money at Savannah Augusta and New Orleans due to increased receipts of cotton and demands for advance on the crop At Chicago money is also active and 1 some barkers have withdrawn from the agreement to pay only 1 per cent on bal nces in country banks and will pay 2 pir cent l The southern pig

the market has not been as bare for years while purchases from stocks or for quick delivery reflect depletion of stocks and consuming demands Less activity is seen in dry goods the rush of postponed business having abated and there tS more disposition to defer purchases because I be-cause of somewhat general advances in cotton goods and because London wool sales are expected to make the outlook clearer Strikes in cotton mills have not ceased and stocks of print cloths shrink rapidly but there is some question whether recent re-cent advances in price can be maintained maintain-ed with important additions to the present pres-ent force There is still a fair business for speedy delivery In woolens and for cheaper grades of spring goods but scarcely anything is done in the finer grades
