More buyers were in the market during the first two days of the week than have ever before attended one of our clearing sales: "The large demand for dry goods is due in part to the fact that merchants' stocks are being kept at a low margin, and it is also evidence that a great deal of money is being spent by consumers as a result of the heavy crops in all parts of the country.

"The December settler jents have resulted in more trading defaults than recently reported, but credits generally maintain a good position and mercantile collections in the West are better than two months ago. "New demands in the leading industries made a satisfactory aggregate, especially in iron, steel, railway equipment and metal working. There was wide absorption of raw materials for factory conversion, construction requirements and general merchandise at wholesale. Colder weather was needed to stimulate buying in winter apparel, and preminent retail branches here and at the Interior, but the buying compared favorably with this time last' year in the ordinary staples and holiday
