McMillan’* View.
Speaking of general trade condi
tions yesterday Mr. McMUl^g said
that the larger dealers of the great
consuming centers were holding off
because of the agitation of the^tarlff
question. For this reason, he said
things locally were quiet to a mark
ed degree and because of the slack
ening In the demand prices grere In
clined to soften.
Mr. McMillan.aald that t^e mill-
men of the interior whq are now
in operation should heed thl* fact
and govern themselves accordingly.
This may be to a certain degree a
pessimistic view of tho situation, hot
Mr. McMillan is usually in an optl-
mintic vein and he must have ample
evidence indicating tho detrimental
effects of the tariff question now oc
