Prospects for a Prosperous Year in Dry Goods and Hardware
The article notes optimism for 1892 with prices down to bid rock and a hoped shift to higher levels later. Dry goods demand rose last year with a strong holiday trade, though heavy weight goods lagged due to unseasonable December weather. Hardware margins are tight, building activity fell 25 percent in 1891, nails and steel prices are very low, and boot and shoe firms report continued fierce competition and mixed profits.
