dent Of tho National Association OF Glass
Manufacturers, stopped ct the Union de-
pot last night Tor hia supper on his way
to New York, says yesterdays Pittsburgh
COMMERCIAL GdIeite. Speaking Of the out.
look for the present year he said; "The
complaint among most manufacturers Is
not on account Of the lack Of business, but
Of tho low prices they are getilng for their
gooas. l must say that this grORl comes
most largely from men who have inferior
goods to sell. There is no trouble about
prices wherO the article sells itself. ! do
not think there will be any trouble about
the matter Of arranging wages this year.
There Is no disposition 10 reduce wages
among any Of the manufacturers whom l
have met. All they ask Is, that q method
shall DO adopted whereby they shall re-
Ceiye q fair return. THIS has not been the
rule in Wheeling or vicinity, but latterly
II has been working on the Ohio side Of
the river. The outlook for this year Is
good and with no untoward circumstances
o fairly good business may be expected"

and A. Q. EgSrtsr Assignee.

Considerable surprise was occaslOned
yesterday by the announcement that the
well known firm Of WSrthRn 1 TiemSnn,
retail grocsrs doing business at the cornsr
Of Market and Eleventh streets, had failed.
The report proved II be true, the firms
deed OF assignment TO Mr.. A. Q. Egerter
having been Gled for record In Clerk
Hooks office yesterday afternoon. The
irm has been regarded as doing an extern.
awe and safe business, and probably
would have been one OF the last houses in
the city to be pointed ont Is on the verge
Of bankruptcy by the general public on q
guess.
The assets and liabilities cannot yet be
definitely given. II is expected, however,
that the former will little more than cover
the preferred creditors claims, while
the other accounts are Eaid 10 be large.
By the deed referred to Julius NJ. War

composing the firm Of WarthRn & Tie

OF Market and Eleventh. streets, convey to

said firm OF Warthau 4 TismRnn and

after date at the German bank, Tor $500;
also q note for 800 in favor Of P, Bach
man ( Sons, payable g 1.-THE German bank,
and bearing date January 10, 1885.
Third, the sum OF $2ll 90, being the
amount OF an oyer-dralt on the German
bank.
II the proceeds OF the sale Of the goods
and property conveyed shall not be suti-
cient to pay all these claims in full, then
the expenses OF disChArging the trust shall
first be paid in full, and the other sums
named be paid ratAbly; but II there shall
DO an excess OF the proceeds over the
aggregate OF these claims preferred, such
excess shall bs applied to the payment Of
any and all other just claims against the
firm ratably.
The failure is ssCribed to hard times and
the difficulty Of collecting outstanding &C
tounts. The members OF the firm are
popular gentlemen OF high standing in
business circles, and their misfortune
causes general regret.
