SPRING TRADE IS

TO BEGIN EARLY I RICHMOND MERCHANTS SAY BUSINESS WILL START I SOONER THIS YEAR. SPRING LINES ARE COMING IN Local Stores Showing Lines of Stock t t Which Tend To Keep Trading ! at Home. Business in spring goods is excellent;" said a number of Richmond merchants yesterday, and they also stated that the warm weather as brought out buyers at a much earlier season than ever before. " Our business is . four or five weeks , ahead , of , the usual . spring trade," was the statement of several of them and they state that the demand, for spring goods has been enormous,. '; ,- ; i . , i ; ; ; - ' : . "The warm weather has already started the buyers after spring goods and every ' store in town, that had any doubts as to the quantity of purchases of spring goods and millinery, have decided they made no mistake when last year's orders were increased, because the indications are that there is going to be more retail business done in Richmond this year than last. Trade has already .begun and if the weather continues as in the past, making an ' early spring the trade in spring and summer styles in everything will eclipse all' former years." - v . f ,s i Local merchants have on hand already their spring-lines.. apd 5 all r o them are up to date to ,the ;last, minute, much of their stock having been in from the east, where 'they) ;wpr$ purchased by , buyers sent. frpm jRichmond, and not from jobbing "buyers. Shoppers have learned -,that;. better goods of higher class, can be bought in Richmond than in any city within shopping distance and the old habit, a! relic of Richmond 's village days, of et, i- T-M-arKa. almMt entirely disappeared, the local? stores showing better, if not larger lines, in everything dear to the heart of 'the Women shoppers,"and ' 'at " prices f as good or better than can be secured there.

IZZZZZZZ1 J . CHICAGO MARKETS i IIIDIAHAPOLIS MARKETS "

Wheat Seems to Have Reached Sticking Point; Bull and Bear News Offsets Each Other Firm- I er in Corn Market. Chicago, February 26. The tone of the wheat market at the opening was barely steady because of reports of colder weather in the Southwest. Prices were somewhat higher at Liverpool, and the world's shipments were -small, but this failed to offset the weather bulletin. The chief sellers were local traders. May opened a shade to c higher and eased off to S2Y2. Higher Cables For Corn. Corn opened firm on higher cables and small local receipts, but the market soon became easier because of the official forecast of colder weather. May opened a shade to c higher and declined to 4314c I A good demand for cash grain and a decrease from the estimated arri vals caused firmness in the orits.

Small Hog Receipts But Prices Were i Down; Affected by Situation in Other Markets. Not Many of the Best Cattle. Indianapolis, February 26. Receipts 1,500 hogs and 550 cattle against 2,656 hogs and 750 cattle a week ago and 1,918 hogs, 431 cattle and 314 sheep a year ago. Receipts of hogs were smaller than usual at this time in the week and under ordinary circumstances there probably would have been no change in the market but the situation here was influenced by the unfavorable reports from other places. The market was 10c lower than the close of last week. Local packers were the principal buyers. Trading was quiet but all were sold at a decline. Inferior light hogs to best heavies were $6.00 (a 6:30 and most of the supply sold at $6.15(a6.25. Butcher Cattle Taken. Receipts of cattle were as large as usual at this time in the week1, but the-proportion 'good 'enough to1 sell around1 top prices wass ' mall.' Therewere not many urgent 'orde'rs in the1 hands of buyers but there was a fair request for female' butcher cattle1 and the best grade of No. 2 steers, all of Which sold usually as ' high as ' the cldWof last week." There was a)poor

demand for heavy steers; and the1 cheapest grade of No 2 steers: There was a good demand' for!bulIs ' at steady prices,' and calves 1 also sold usually at Saturday's figures. The demand for feeders was confined to local buyers, and ' they paid about steady prices. Salesmen were 1 hopeful of a fair cattle '' trade this ' week. Few Sheep and Lambs. There was notenough fresh arrivals of sheep or lambs to establish a range of prices f for any ' grade. In sympathy with unfavorable reports from other places, however:1 ! dealers here do riot speak encouragingly ot the outlook and believe that-" anything like ample supplies 'will haVe sell at loWer prices than 1 those prevailing at the close of last Week.
