HERE'S LIVESTOCK AND Low PRICES

The northeast corner Of King and
Royal streets has been the recognized
DRY GOODS EMPORIUM of Alexan-
dria for nearly forty years during all
the ups and downs Of the city's history.
From the time the commodious struc-
turo was erected down to our day gen.
Grafton after generation has procured
dry goods at this well-known depot.
Here the grandfathers and grandmoth-
ers of many of our present customers
wended their way when looking for
honest dealing, large stocks, satisfacto-
ry goods and. above all, low prices.
The same features are offered now
and will continue to be. This is no
hare-up sale for the purpose of at
tracing a crowd and then disappoint-
ing them. Fresh goods glisten from
shelf and counter and polite and ac-
commodating attendants are ready to
place before you for scrutiny fabrics
exceedingly attractive and at prices
which defy all competition, Ours is no
ephemeral nor periodical cut in prices,
but perpetual standing offer which
sense will cause you to take
of.

RAILROAD MEN CoHFER-A delega-
tom oi railway f.,cn employed on the
Richmond and DanVille Railroad rep.
resenting the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Firemcn, and the Association
of American Conductors connected with
tae lodges on these roads, arrived il
Washington yesterday and had con-
sultation with General Manager Greene
with reference 10 the restoration of
wages
The visit is the outcome ofthe gen
eral reduction in the pay of operatives
of the road which went into effect last
September. IL was stated at The time
that within a few months, when it was
hoped the financial condition of the
road would be improved, the old rate
would be restored. Until that time a
reduction of 10 per cent. was made for
all who were receiving less than $3.50
per month and q reduction Of 20 per
cent. for those who were receiving more
than that amount.
The Richmond and Danville organi-
cation was succeeded Saturday by the
new Southern Railway. 1t is this
change of organization that brought
the railway men to Washington TO look
after their interests. There are 10 or
so men, all told, including the delegates
from the lodges of the three associa
tons, of whom Mr.. f. j. O'Brien, OF
this civ, acts as chairman Of the cn2i-
neers. and Mr. Il. w. Moore, OF Dan
vile, chairman Of the conductors.
The men called in q body 10 see Mr.
Greene and were given . cordial wei
come. il is understood that lao definite
answer was returned 10 them, but there
was a lengthy conference, III which the
prospects OF the new organization from
- financial point OF view we're discussed.
President Spencer of tie railroad, was
absent at The time in New Yoik, aud
this hindered full understanding
about the matter.
1t is said that the railroad would
probably be somewhat timid ut present
about advancing the pay of its employ
ees on account OF the impending rail
way war on freights between the East
and South. one official stated that
they were already carving iirst-cIass
freight for p cents hundred, for
which they were usually paid 81. This
war OF rates seriously affects the pre-
sent financial prospects. Al! the visit
inc delegates were anxious to discount
any thought that they contemplated
violent opposition to the railroad Or
that they were connected in any way
with the great strike OF the American
Railway Union, although some Of their
members were in sympathy with it.

TRADE TOPICS.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s Report of Business
for the Past Week.

R. G. Dun & Co. s review of trade
for the past week says: "Engrossing
political excitement in many of the
states causes natural slackening in
some kinds of business. But, on the
whole, business indications are rather
more favorable than they were last
week. Gold exports have ceased, while
a number of mills have gone into oper-
alton, and the demand for products, if
not equal to that of prosperous years,
is better than it has been most of the
time this year. The prices of farm
products do not improve much, and
there are still some strikes to resist
reduction Of wages, so that the pUr-
chasing power Of the people cannot
have materially increased, but there is
a more hopeful spirit which prompts
greater activity. On the other hand,
the record of past transactions are
somewhat less favorable of late. 1t is
interesting that, in spite of the low
price of the principal southern crop,
manufacturers and wholesale dealers
report rather more Improvement in
trade with the south than with any
other section.
"ID iron and steel the west shows
weakness, while eastern markets show
more encouragement. Nothing of
consequence is doing in rails,
the deliveries for the year to Octo-
Der 1st being only $40, 200 tons, much
below ordinary requirements for re-
newals. In structural works some
moderate contracts are reported, but
bar iron is extremely dull, and it is
stated that the low prices reported last
week-95 cents for iron and 81 for
steel-have been shaded in some trans
actions. There is q decline in wire
nails, $1.90 being quoted for galvan-
lied barbed and $22. so for wire rods.
The best feature is that the heavy in
crease in the output of pig does not
yet seem to overload the market, and
there are rather less signs of pressure
to sell them of late"
