THE DRY GOODS TRADE.

weeks earlier than usual IL is true that somA few
Of the leading goods still attract some notice and
st,ll command sale; but these exceptions are so
isolated as to almost pass unheeded, and they Ger
tainly exert no influence upon the general market,
which was rarely ever SO dull or so unsatisfactory.
Notwithstanding the fact that prices nave expert
enced decided fall during the past several weeks,
the decline In many fabrics has not been marked
az in many former seasons OF protracied dulness.
Indeed, considering the extreme inactlon and the
improbablites OF any increase In the demand for
some time hence, holders evince remarkable degree
OF confidence and nrmness. The stock OF goods is
generally quite light, and In no is there a super

REAL ESTATE MATTERS.
Weekly Review Of the Market.

WeeRIy NeVieW OF inc W"rKet'
The week just closed, notwithstanding the dulness
which has characterized the latter part has been
markable for freshenng Of interest in the sales Of
real estate at the Exchange and elsewhere. 1t is
superluous to advert TO the depressing influence
which the murky weather OF The last month has
exercised upon the market, checking interest
speculative desirein fact rather suggesting suicidal
purpose than the acquisition Of new lots Thus sue
ceeding the great call for city property which makes
the excitement OF the early portion OF the year. the
demand for suitable sites in the country has not here
tOOre been commensurate with the preceding interest
manifested during the season In real estate, ana
hence the increased activity of last week Is worthy
OF special note 1t is probable the interest will be
maintained this year later than 1t has been hereto
fore, and with the inception OF anything approach
ing fine reably SOY weather business will gain new
impetus. All the conditions of the market at pres
ent favor this assumption. Tie general tone is
buoyant holders are firm buyers plenty and specu-
latOrs active; hence it is likely we will have but
short recess Of sales. We give below our usual
weekly review of the weeks operations

Democratic Meeting at New Al
bany, Ohio. I.a- iftf,-

.rr4 Correspondence of the Ohio Statesmanl
In accordance to previous announce
ment the Democracy of Plain, Blendon,
Miff1in and Jefferson townships met at
New Albany, on Saturday, Sept. 26, 1868
The meeting was called to order by B. M.
Albery, President; ID. B. Strait acting as
Secretary. After several salutes from our
'Geiger gun," which was managed and
controlled by James R. Miller, a soldier
and a Democrat, and several lively tunes
had been played by the Cramer and Bevel-
heimer band. the President introduced to
the audience assembled, the Hon. VIM.
Heisley, of Cleveland, as the first speaker.
Mr.. Heisley commenced his remarks by
general discussion of the subject of politics
from the formation of the Republican par
ty, during the war and up to the present
time. In the course OF his remarks, the
speaker gave to the ministers OF the pres
ent day good and wholesome lecture;
then he took up the negro question and
discussed the same very fully and ably.
The bond question was next taken up, and
most ably did he handle it, showing beyond
question and doubt and convincing even
Republicans of the business of the Demo-
cratic principles. ".- 5-' '
The speaker then referred to our able
candidate for President, Horatio Seymour,
most eloquently and feelingIy; showing
his honesty, integrity and qualifications,
all of which was well received. Altogether,
the speaker (Mr. Heisley) acquitted him
self with great credit and honor. Our best
and most candid and substantial Republic
cans admitting publicly that the speech of
Mr.. .Heisley was the best that was ever be-
fore made in this place. f. t....
Colonel George W. Manypenny was next
introduced and made short and spirited
speech of about half hour, charging home
on the Republican party their fraud, ex-
travsgance and corruption, in a manner
most effective. At the close OF the Colo
nel's remarks, three cheers were given for
our candidates for President and Vice
President, Seymour and Blair. DR.. Du-
rant, of Westerville, was called out and
made stirring speech, that was we'll re-
ceived. Taken altogether the meeting was
a complete success and did great good.
Look out for a good report from this local.

was made TO us that theAState Executive
Committee has not been as mindful of this
section OF the State as it should be in the
distribution of documents and the assign
ment of speakers. The Democrats intend
to have grand demonstration here either
on the Saturday night or Monday night
before the election. For that occasion they
Will, undoubtedly, need a good speaker.
No speaker will so well fill the bill as Mr..
JACKSON, and the committee should "take
time by the torelock" and engage him.
Il. b. EsHELMAN was announced to speak,
but 1nasmuch as the evening was far ad
vanced, he declined to make any remarks
The meeting then adjourned, the Write
Boys in Blue escorting the speakers back
to the Weddle. 1t was our pleasure to add
to our acquaintance Col. j. r! SANFORD and
the officers of the White Boys in Blue, and
found them to be gentlemen, and all warm
ly enlisted in the cause of Democracy.
Isaw Judge RANNEY, Col. JABEz FIrcH,
Hon. F. w. GREEN, of the Plain Dealer,
Hon. ARTHUR HUGHES, and quite number
of other Democrats, among whom were
gentlemen saw last campaign as passed
through Cleveland, and whose opinion
touching what the Reserve would then
do was verified. If the election were
to take place tomorrow, 1 am satisfied
from information altogether trustworthy,
the Reserve would do better for the Democ-
racy than it did lastfall. If Southern Ohio
will hold her own, the Reserve will con-
tribute her full share to the redemption of
the State. Every thing is encouraging here.
Judge RANNEY has struck two or three
great blows for the Democracy and he will
strike number more before the election
that will bring Radicalism to its knees in
this section. Hon. FRANKLIN T. BAoKUs,
too, is working sturdily for Democratic
success, and there, are many others through
out the Reserve who are actively at work
to bring about its political regeneration.
All the Democrats up here want to
do to cut down the opposition to them,
is to take hold courageously, rely
more on themselves and less on State Ex-
ecutive Committees. And this applies to
all sections of the State. Everything
should not be left to the State Committee
to do. The. county Committees should SO
organize their counties that every vote will
be brought out to the polls, and where
that has not been done it should be done
without further delay. E.B.E.

Rad Meeting at Reynoldsburg.

Fhe following has been deferred on ac-
count of press of matter.-ED.
Well, they have gone and did it. The
agony is over in this Radical burg-the
Cant and Coldfacts club" have raised pole
and such a pole, the like of it cannot be
found in this wide, wide world.
Doctor Brock, the great Mogul of the
Bads in this burg and Truro township, en-
gagged the notorious Jim Stinchcomb to ad-
dress the faithful, and in order to get up
an excitement and turnout, had bills print
ed, stating that there would be great mass
meeting of the people of Truro and ad-
joining townships, also "pole raising" at
which Major Stinchcomb would hold forth.
Several of the RAIDS demurred at this one
horse way of doing business, having never
been informed or consulted about it, and
the whole matter was about to be abandon
ed, when the Doctor called for help in sup
plicating tones, and few OF his brethren
yielded to his opportunities and came to the
rescue. -fl ;.r F-l..-. .... ....-
About three o'clock P. NJ, some twenty
or thirty men and boys congregated in the
neighborhood where the pole was to be
raised, when difficulty occurred in regard
to what kind of pole they would raise
They had procured Sycamore pole aud a
black ASH pole. The sycamore was the
straightest and whitest, but several RAIDS
objected on account of the similarity of the
name to Seymour, which they strenuously
averred would never do. The black ash
was so large that they were unable to raise
it, and besides it was crooked, and hollow
and rotten at the but. Itwas finally agreed
to take part of the sycamore and splice d
small black ash on the top, emblamatica
of the manner in which the negro will ride
the white man if Grant and Colfax shoulc
succeed in being elected. Word was giver
that the Mayor would address the people
in Graham Hall, whilst the noble Marsha
and the boys were preparing the poles.
The Hall was only partly filled will
men and boys-a portion of them beins
Democrats. Jeems went off in:his wanted
style eulogising Grant and the war-black
guarding Vallandigham and Judge Thur
man, but never once referred to the live is
sues of the day-said nothing about take
or frauds or any thing regarding the alleg
ed corruptions of the party in power.
| After his harangue was over, the few
who were left repaired to the pole raising
:. Jim left in disgust, and the RAIDS of th
| burg had it all their own way. MACK.
