' OollocUoaa Tjnnrnally Oood, The John V. Fsu-w.il company of Chicago says in the Weekly Review of Trade; One of the most favorable lndlca tloas of the soundness of business at present was the lack of panicky condi tions among merchants during the per iod that the disastrous national strike seemed imminent. Wholesale dry goods business continues at a high volume level. Collections are unusually good. Cotton goods market remains firm. There Is an unusually large demand for light-weight wool fabrics suitable for house dre&es. The high price of staple serges Is forcing manufacturers to look for other fabrics and creating unusual actHrity in wool crepes and other similar fabrlca. ik seaaon of light weight dress fabrics usually results In a corresponcHnRly large run on heavy coatings. Inquiry for heavy coatings for fall and winter indicates that this season will be no exeeption to the rule. Mills advanced some prominent lines of New England dress ginghams 2 per cent this week. Reports from Belfast state that an embargo is to be placed oa shipments of Russian flax from Archangel. Ev erything points to higher linen prices next seasea. The strike among leather goods op eratives in Chicago and New York dur ing past five weeks Is creating a snort age of some lines of baga and suit cases. Notions, Jewelry and small wares are at present unusually active. Increased oost of manufacturing sheets and pillow cases has created a big demand for at onee shipment. Consolidation Talk raise. Rumors of a possible consolidation of the Lum bermen National bank and the United Btates National bank were, upon In vestigation, found to be untrue. Such rumrJrs were current a few years ago, Grocery Plan Branch Of Organization Oregon City, Or..
