j. Emsheimer said:
SIT has been not a very busy season.
In fact it has barely held its own. Had
1t not been for the warm weather there
would have been a large Increase over
last year"
KBAUs BROS.
Leopold Baer:
Business has been lighter than last
year, there being a noticeable falling of
in the holiday trade. THIS is owing to
the weather. Still we managed TO get
rid Of nearly all our heavy goods in the
early fall. Where the rub came In was
last July, which was unprecedently
cool, and many summer goods remained
unhandled. Nearly all retailers now
date from 1888, which was one OF the
most prosperous years for the retail
business Wheeling ever knew. And 's5
following was one OF the dullest."
D. GUNDLING.
David Gundling:
"Yes, trade in the clothing line has
been good. We have had one OF our
best years. Every month we have in
creased over corresponding months Of
last year, with the possible exception
of December, which was altogether too
unreasonable in weather. Had Deem
Der been favorable our trade would have
been perfectly phenomenal"
NJ HEYMANN.
M. Heymann said:
"There has been little to speak Of in
the clothing trade the past year. The
bad Weather has kept down the sales
appreciably."
NJ. GUTMAN 4 co.
M. Gutman said:
1.-THE clothing trade has about held
its own this year. We have no special
increase in sales. The weather was the
dampener."
DELBRUGGE co.
Mr.. F. J. Helm, of the firm of Louis
Delbrugge & Co., said:
The past year has been an average
one with us, and the aggregate busi-
ness done will probably closely approx
mate that OF the previous year. The
spring trade was very good, and the
present indications point to a good
spring trade next year."
C. W. SEABRIGHT.
Mayor C. w. Seabright said
'The past season has been very
prosperous one in our business. One
noticeable fact is the plentitude OF
money, making collections exception
ally good. Wheeling tailors, though,
all prosper. 1t is common remark
with drummers that their houses have
never lost any money In this city.
There have been, probably, fewer fail
ures, comparatively, than in any other
line Of business. 1 am glad to see the
general prosperous look about the city,
and l think you will find merchants in
all lines of trade have had an excep-
tlonally good year. Everybody has
money, and that is sure sign OF healthy
trade"

HOUSE 4 HERMANN.
George E. House said:-
"The house furnishing business has
not made any very rapid strides the past
wear owing to sort OF depression that
has prevailed alongs the valley. The
same conditions has existed in Pitts
burg, owing TO the difficulties In the
coke and coal regions. But still
we have held our own, and In
this we cannot but feel
well satisfied, considering the obstacles
against which we have indirectly con-
tended. The holiday trade was es-
pecially good. The firm OF House &
Hermann expects TO start into a new
bnslness about the first Of April, and
that Is the storage business, which we
belieye will be n source OF great conve-
nience to the citizens. We have al
ready leased 8 large building, and pro-
nose 10 carry the business on in much
tbe system of Eastern storage compa-
nIes. The idea will be to pack house
hold goods away, each set by them
selves. with movable partitions between.
M course IL is a venture, but we feel
confident it will meet with approval"

F. W. BANNER co.
F. W. Banner said:
Business has been good throughout
the year, particularly during the first
six months. There has been an increase
Of fully Is per cent. over last year. The
pianos have had ready sale right
through, particularly the Krakauer
goods. In the smaller line of goods /
can recall few years that compare TO the
sales of last year. The increase is not
far from 35 per cent. During the last
six months there has been decided ac-
tivity 10 guitars, banjos and mandolins,
many sales being noted. This is occa-
stoned by the starting up OF several new
musical organizations, and also by the
interest being taken at home In stringed
melody. 1t has been a decidedly pros
porous year."

4 Glance at the Industries Of Our Ohio
NeirhbOr.

4 Glance at the Industries Of Our Ohio
Neighbor.
At the Novelty Works Of Stephen
Hipkins, Jr., we found them as busy as
bees. The principal work done here is
matchmaking. They furnish some Of
the principal factories Of this section OF
the country with their moulds. We
were also shown new glass press,
which will be new departure In glass
pressing. This press will press the
glass from the bottom and top, while
the old style presses just press the glass
from the top. 1t also does awav with
old weights in balancing, large
spring being called into play in
their place, which is big i'm
provement, as any kind Of ware
can he pressed with ease from the
smallest TO the heaviest that Is made.
1t is also constructed that the working
plate, or the plate the mold slides on,
can be taken out and planed down when
it Is worn too much, while In the old
presses, when this plate was worn out
the machine was done for, as 1t was not
a separate part to be taken out. This
new press will be taken TO the North
wood Glass Works in two weeks and
tried, and great many OF the glass
manufacturers will take an interest In
its working. The press Is solely the
patent OF Mr. Hipkins.
The Martins Ferry Keg and Barrel
Works are running 10 their full capacity.
Their new buildings are not all erected
yet, but are fast being pushed to CON-
pletion. This industry furnishes all
the kegs to different nail factories and
boxes and barrels to the glass works.
There prospect is splendid.
At Spencer & Sons machine works,
they have been very busy for the past
year, and will not lose much tins the
first of the year In making repairs and
taking stock. The prospects at this
place is reported as being splendid.
Mann's foundry, one Of the busiest OF
our industries, is running full In all de-
partments, and will-not stop for repairs
or stock taking on account OF the orders
that they have to fill. Heavy mill and
machine castings is the speciality OF the
works.
The Ohio Valley Tool Works have
had all that they could do in their line.
Their product exclusively is oil well
supplies. Their prospects for the COM
ing year Is good.
