DRY GOODS

NEW YORK, February 25.-There has been
a very good movement in merchandise for
the closing day of the week; a large proper
ton of the shipments were in execution of
previous engagements, with new business
fairly large. Cotton goods exhibit no new
feature, except that as the dste of a more
active demand approaches there is a growing
steadiness on the part OF agents. As re-
peatedly stated, the d, sirable or better quail
tiles are in light if in any supply. For
medium to low grades OF bleached cotton
there is less inquiry, and supplies are more
plenty, though mu h less than a year ago.
White goods are in steady distribution,
clothing and sail duck, also in denims, the
better qualities of tickings and satteen.
Corset jeans in no supply, but wide and
steady activity. Dress goods IN moderate
distribution OF miscellaneous assortments.
Hosiery and underwear in steady dlstribu-
ton, but more moderate request. Clothing
woolens, such as overcoatings, fancy cassi-
meres, worsted s~uitings, cheviots and cloths
il steady order request, and some selection;
for immediate shipment. A large future
business has been laid out Kentucky jean:
and ~cottopades in very light reque.t.

Air.LIne 1900 Train.

The Pennsylvania railway is putting OF
air line stO:E- trains, to make three runs
average twrnty-eight miles per hour, from
Chicago, 30 that cattle may be got through
fr1m that city to Phil idelphia and New
York with as little delay as possible, and AZ
fsR u~nloadings for feeding as the condition
of the cattle will permit. The idea in max
ing these lists is to compete with the refrig-
orator business, the refrigerator car now be
ing used for the transportation of slaughter
Ell beef being claimed as a great advantage
over tn live stock transportation, by which,
uader the old style, cattle reached the East
era market reduced in flesh and FIR, quently
diseased by reason of exposure, starvation,
and rough treatment.

came. a square meal made the little black
and-tan feel at home, and che was soon after
ward christened Fannie. Her wonderful
ssgEcity straightway developed. She can do
almost everything but read, write and talk.
II the captain tells her in the morning to
go up stairs and wake up some member OF
his family, mentioning the name of the per-
son he wishes awakened, Fannie obeys, and
never makes a mistake. She always goes
IN the right room, jumps on the bed and
pulls of the bedspresds and comforts, and
will not dssist in her efforts till the sleeper
awakens and arises. Until recently Captain
Wise had a little poodle, for which Fannie
cherished a great antipathy. One evening
Fannie was enjoying her supper, when the
poodle insisted on sharing her meal with
her. The result was a growl, a snap, and
the fangs Of Fannie were fastened in one
OF the poodie's legs. The poodle's ki-yi
brought the family TO the rescue. All
attempts to induce the b~lack-and-tan
TO let go, however, were of no avail until
Mrs. Wise seized the irate little brute by
the throat and squeezed. She was then
obliged to u~nfasten her teeth from the poodle
TO breathe. And now comes the queer part
OF the adyenture-a part where a DOG showed
the same disposition to hold a grudge as an
elephant is credited with possessing. Fan
ME was very much incensed at her mistress,
and during the whole evening could not be
luulC-u 10 20 near neT, tlOuRu bQS mao
always before shown a great of attachment
for her. The next evening, t~enty-four
hours later, a company of gentlemen had
gathered at the residence of Captain Wise,
and were seated in the parlor, the writer
among them A lunch was served, during
which Mrs. Wise proffered Fannie a piece OF
cake The resentful little creature was very
near Mrs. Wise at this time, but she instantly
tossed up her head, a. much BIS to cay: i
don't want your cake moved over to another
part of the parlor, where the writer, supplied
with precisely the same kind OF cake, sat,
and Fannie was offered what she had re-
fused from her mistress. She Immediately
accepted the cake and greedily devoured it.
1t was several days before she would forgive
Mrs. Wise for taking sides with the poodle
and be friends with her again"
