Some reduction in the demand for fall and winter goods at wholesale is noted, but it is shown at th¢ same time that the completed business in a host of other lines is In excess of 1901 and preceding years. Business on next year's ac- ccunt tends to expand and a similar tendency 1§ noted in retail, business, particularly at the East, where the fear of a coal famine has | been removed by the actual resumption cf work. It is true that in the Northwest retail | trade is not meeting anticipaticns, possibly be- cause of warmer weather, but partially be- | cause the farming element is still busily en- gaged in crop work. The money situation “shows little that is unfavorable to general business. Reports as to collections class them | as being generally good and in some cases bet. ter than a year ago. The lumber business, while naturally noting some quieting of busi- ness on the advance of the season, is still of good volume where weather conditions permit of the carrying out of the order. Demand for. bullding material continues active. In the lum- ber producing regions strength is the prominent feature. The Southern lumber trade reports unusual activity. Something in the nature of | & shortage in the world’s crop of sugar con- fronts the trade. The yield of beet sugar ap- | pears likely to be heavily reuced and a small falling off In the yield of the cane crop is also reported, the net result being a decline of about 10 per cent {rom a vear ago, which has been reflected in fractional advances of the raw t prodiict Wi including flour, exports for the week acd 3 October 2; aggregate 7,000,317 bush- e i els, the largest total for fourteen months, floec e agalnst. 5,210,688 last week, 4952134 in this Amer Tel 6414 Trinity week last year, and 4,982,978 in 1900.
