DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, November 15.-Trade in
dry goods opened rather quiet to-day, with
the weather Indictment and unseasonably
warm. Mail orders for plain and fancy
goods, however, were in fair quantity, and
agents were charging up good many
goods. 1t was very quiet on the spot. The
conditions of trade remained unchanged.
Agents look back to last weeks business
with satisfaction, and realize more than
ever that supplies are relatively light. Col
ored cottons are unusually well sold up, as
are four yard sheetings and wide sheetings.
Other articles are in good shape, aud prices
firm. Goods nearest the raw material. and
which have been depressed in prices, are
regarded as at rock bottom. The general
outlook continues encouraging.

BRIDGEPORT.

The petition to annex Etnavilleto
Martins Ferry came up before the
County Commissioners at st. Clairsville
Yesterday morning. Two petitions
were placed before the Commissioners,
one for annexation which was signed by
Martins Ferry citizens and part OF
Etnaville, and the other opposed TO
annexation signed by Bridgeport people
and part Of Etnavllle. Etnaville
seemed to be about equally divided on
the question. The Board decided TO dis
miss the petition for annexation,
and Etnaville will remain unchanged
in regard to her bounds, while Martins
Ferry will have to stand the costs
which may have accrued in bringing
about this matter Of annexation.
Special attention should be called to
the city officials in regard to the
manner in which cows are allowed 10
parade around the streets, especially in
Kirkwood. 1t has almost become an In
tolerable nuisance, and the citizens have
become very indignant, and demand
that this matter be attended to at once.
Officer Donnely headed hunting
party which left yesterday for the wilds
OF West Virginia to hunt deer. 1t is
sincerely hoped by their many friends
that they will return with enough veni-
son to supply their comrades they left
behind.
A new electric light has been placed
on Bank street, in front OF the Sherman
House. This is something that has long
been needed, and will be greatly appre-
ciated by all the people within a radius
OF at least five or six blocks.
On next Saturday evening a social
and business meeting combined, will be
held at the Y. NJ. G. A. hall. The
meeting is under the auspices OF the
Christian Endeavor Society.
Two car loads of sand got off the
track at the Cleveland, Lorraine and
Wheeling junction yesterday morning
and caused quite delay to the north
bound passenger train.
Work has been commenced on tear
ing out the old front OF the National
Bank. 1t is understood that stone
and glass front will take the place OF
the old one.
Mrs. II. G. Branum has returned from
Gambler, Ohio, where she has been Wis
iting her son Charles, who is a student
at that place.
The many friends Of Prof. W. H.
Butcher will be panied to learn OF the
serious illness Of his bright little daugh-
ter Ruth.
Smith Hurst, Of Colersin, and Geo.
Taylor, Of Toledo, are Quartered at the
Sherman House.
