We regret to chronicle that the Ohio City
Nail Works at Martins Ferry, has felt itself
obliged to make an assignment, on Wednes-
day of last week, to Ross ]. Alexander. A
large part of the stock, say about $70,-
600, is held by VIM. Clark President of the
Mill. He has made every endeavor to keep
the concern above water, but the long contin-
ued depression in the nail trade has forced
him to take the steps he has and place the
in the hands of a receiver. The
liabilities above the assets are about S45, 900.
1t appears to us that this comparatively small
should not stop the wheels of
such valuable works as the "Ohio City" The
Mill is still in operation and it is hoped that at
the meeting of creditors to-day, "Wednesday, }
some arrangements will be made to place it on
its feet again.
