"We are doing no flour seeding Is practically complete, ... aotn aud tiie Dakotas. Conditions of mar ket and weather have Induced farmers to sow as much wheat os possible and Indica tions now are that decrease In acreage will not be material. Condltlou of loll Is excellent. We have had just the right amount of moisture. Seed Is sprouting aud doing well In the entire teryltory.

The New York Commercial: As there hat atlll been no really warm weather to help move spring stocks of clothing and summer merchandise buyers for tho markets of final distribution are showing prudence In taking on additional goods for tbe present season. This Is true of all classes of cottous. but Is not affecting the ordering of lumsehold linens or piece goods n linens and silks. The paucity of at<»cks In those goods makes It next to Impossi ble for buyers to locate any considerable quantity In the hands of one agent. The shopping that Is being done gl rise to the Impression that a larger bust- J* hfJng put through than is actually closed. HI nee the members of the leading commission houses who wern In rmiadel- K hla have returned to their offlcet they ave begun to talk strong** prices on coarse yarn construction cottons. AH of the manufacturers from the South inode It dear that low-priced ataple was not to he expected nnd thnt on future business eloth manufacturers had no reason to re cede In prices. There was a stronger move ment in brown cottons Haturdny than has l*een witnessed since tho early part of the month. On bleached cloths the entire mar ket Is sold up on s|tot and onlv a very small quantity of goods can l>e secured for delivery before the winter Aouths. The aim mixiures. me summer weignis aim me medium weight styles, are moving to ad vantage Ih the Jobbing trade. Retailers report doing a better business on these llhci than on the summer lines In cottons and lin ens. In sales over the counter.
