The general opinion that the local trade

The movement is already attracting at
-.rti0n thrOughOut the country. Last
weeks issue OF the Budget editorially
says.
The recent movement Of the repre-
Sc -atfyes Of tableware factories in the
Ohio Valley, to establish an exchange
Tor the display Of the products Of their
several factories at Wheeling, we think
is very oppOrtune, and If carried out
viii. contribute much 70 the reputation
OF that city as the center OF one OF the
leading flint glass sections Of the coun-
,ry. PittSburg enjoys the distinction
Of being the glass market OF the United
S.a.es. Buffers will visit PittSburg no
matter how many exchanges may be set
u1 Ga different parts of the country.
Wheeling will be gladly welcomed as q
f-sadly rival. Anything that will tend
t1 develop and contribute TO the tlnt
gass industry, we heartily encourage.
Let there be unanimity among those In
tsrested, and there will DO no fears as
% the result"
