November. His business relations will
still continue in this city, but he regrets re-
moyal on account OF so many pleasant So
cial endearments, the result OF his many
years residence in Parkersburg. Wemost
sincerely wish him and his pleasant family
prosperity and pleasure in their new home.
-PdrkerSbTg Journal.
While We join with the Journal in ex-
pressing regret that Colonel Thompson is
going to leave the State, yet, us long as he
is going to leave, we are glad that he is
going up into the healthy Republican
atmosphere Of the Western Reserve. The
Colonel has been bound all his life here in
the shadows and provincial ideas Of De-
mocracy. His mind will get good healthy
shaking up in Cleveland that will be OF
great service to him.

An EGort 10 Advance Rnle..

The Chicago Tribune says that the Penn
sylvania and Baltimore 4 Ohio railroads
are greatly disguised with the low freight
rates to the East. But owing to the refusal
of Mr. Vanderbilt to enter into any arrange
ment for the advance in freight rates to sea-
board points they are compelled to take
business at the same low rates us II is taken
by the Vanderbilt lines to those points.
They mean, however, to get better rates
hereafter on business to interior local points
on their lines that cannot be reached by
the Vanderbiltroads. They propose to adj
vance after this week the rates TO all such
points The arrangement Is that all bust.
ness 10 local interior points on the Penn
sylvania and Baltimore 4 Ohio should be
to New York. These roads will no doubt
lose considerable business by such an ar
rangement, but they probably prefer doing
u little at paying rates than large amount
at losing figures.
II Is understood that the Baltimore 4
Ohio has also decided to advance the pas.
senger rates from such Western and South
western points us cannot be reached by the
Vanderbilt lines.
We arc supposed to have Vanderbilt
line at the Ohio River, opposite this city,
in the shape Of the Tuscarawas road, and 1t
would be well for shippers Of freight to
keep an eye on such new scale as the
Pennsylvania and IIaltimorG& Ohio may
adopt, SO far as it may affect interests here
nbouts.

following
The demand for nails is fully as great as
that for manufactured iron, and from all
reports stocks are light in all parts OF the
country, east MS well as west and south.
The demand throughout the summer was,
under the circumstances inexpliCable.
With a strange blindness dealers seem to
have held back their orders in the hope Of
lower prices, but they were disappointed,
and their stocks having become depleted
