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,
