CONDITION OF TRADER. G. Dun
&Co.'s Weekly RevieaO of Trade Satur-
day said: The lowest prices ever
known for wheat and co tton necessarily
imply somewhat restricted consump-
ton of other products. With the chief
money crops of the West and South
sinking in value, it is not strange that
purchasers of manufactured products
are smaller than was expected.
The condition of the industries is in
some respects more satisfactory. Evil
IDENTIFY there is a larger demand for
iron products than there was a month
ago, though the increase in output
has been somewhat greater than the
increase in the demand, so that prices
steadily tend downward.
The boat and shoe trade continues to
deliver more goods than in any prev
ious year, as it did in September, and
most of the works still have orders for
one or two months ahead, although
mainly for low or mediUm-pr;cedg goods.
There is little better quality, how
ever, and the demand for leather is
still reducing the reserve.
The new demand in dry goods is not

goods the market is called remarkably
dull, though there is relatively a good
deal doing in current orders for the
fall trade. Cotton print cloths are q
shade stronger, but for other goods the
market is slow, as might be expected
in view of the heavy decline in raw
material. Woolens are less active
and while there are numerous small
orders for fall goods, the demand fol
spring goods is as yet not more thai
about three-quarters of the ordinary
quantity, and mainly limited to the
cheaper grades.

INSTALLATION OF o. U. A. NJ. OFFICERS.
TO one walking through the streets
of Cheswold Monday evening, 1t was
soon evident there was something un-
usual going on. Inquiry revealed the
fact that a new order was about to be
Instituted in Cheswold, known as the
0. U. A. NJ. An Order of United
American Mechanics. Every thing on
on the streets gave an air of expect
ancy. Groups were collected here and
there, and many strangers and strange
teams were in town. A new hall ever
Cooper Bros store was brilliantly
lighted, and being kindly invited to
walk up and look in, we were surprised
to find it most beautifully decorated
with our national emblem, also hand
sOmely carpeted and furnished, in all
respects in readiness for the birth of an
o. U. A. NJ. Installation officers were
in town to install those who were to be
its officers.
Later in the evening, State Councillor
E. 5. Jones, of MiddletOwn, took the
gavel in which he was supported by
5. f. Weir, L. c. Vandegrift, and F.
w. PiersOn, of Wilmington, assisted
also by members of Dover, Frederick,
and CeciltOn councils. The officers in
stalled for the new council were: Past
Councillor, J. p. Jefferson; Councillor,
A. p. Jones; Vice-COuncillor, F. A.
Moore; Recording Secretary, S. H.
Chambers; Assistant Recording Secre-
tary, w. S. Scarborough; Financial
Secretary, w. S. Hardcastle; Treasurer,
Jefferson Cooper; Inside Sentinel, W.
G. BucksOn; Outside Sentinel, J. f.
Barcus; Conductor, w. J. Phillips;
Warden, w. F. Jarvis.
During the evening, Samuel A. Pitt,
Of Middletown, made a twenty minute
speech which is spoken of as able spicy
and in all respects most pleasing.' A
most happy feature Of the event, how.
ever was an imprOmptu supper pre-.
pared by the wives of the newly elected
| members, which was also a great sur.
prise. After the installation exercises
were over, the company were hidden
to be seated, for what purpose they
knew not, when an imprOvised table
as if by magic, was put before them
and the ladies walked in with bOunti
ful supply of lemonade, cake and coffee
1t was nearing the midnight hour, anG
a score or more of those present sup.
posed their wives to be snOozing al
home. A feast of reason, wit anG
flow of soul followed this event. Il

claimed from his editorial pen as right,
but we know no more about the charges

a few weeks ago, or the many other
efforts at corruption that have cropped
out in the campaign. 1t might be safe

vices for fraud in the hands of practical

The politics of Delaware is indeed in

Registration.

The registration on Saturday was SO
in the Eastern district and 104 in the
Western. This with the 775 of the
two previous Saturdays makes the
number registered in the Hundred 962.
The number two years ago who came
in on the regular registering days was
936, showing this year an excess of 26
names over two years ago. There
we're however enough added subse-
quently before the Board of Registra-
ton to make the total number regis
tered 800 AT the election however the
number of votes cast was 965-25 short
of the registration. This was the larg-
est vote ever pOlled in the hundred
the vote in 1890 being S99.

PROF. HANDY, the political editor of
the E0ery EUening, in his retort to our
editorial last week, used language that
he intended to be severe rather than
candid. Knowing the TIMES is not
partisan organ and thus not at liberty
to enter the political arena only in self
defense, and then not with the swing
of partisan sheet, he singles it out as
a "wishy-washy hypocrite of the in
dependent stripe" for a personal at
tack.
This is very brave for man of his
boasted chivalry. He can dwell on the
Qualities of surface moralists and hypo-
critics with the volubility of street
fakir as applied to down country
papers," but at home he absolutely
stands dumb before J. B. Bell 10 the
same block as himself, the Democratic
editor and writer of the article which
we copied. If Mr.. Handy's editorial
bravery is more than an empty boast,
why didn't he attack the writer nearby,
as being "under some visible effects of
Addcs elIiar influence, ;" instead of
firing at long range way down in Kent
county?
But Mr.. Handy can't lay claim to
sincerity in anything he may do or say
or he would not appear so grotesque,
politically. Thus, we fnd him de.
claring before the State Conven.
ton warning the delegates against
boOdlers who desired the congressional
nomination the same as himself, that il
this was to be the controlling influence,
''if we do sell our birthright we want
to be dead sure of getting the pottage,"
and in the Newark Ledger after he had
lost the nomination wrote a scathing
editorial on the nomination of Samuel
Bancroft, Jr., asking twill Doodle and
the Wilmington ring win? and con-
Guiding with, you can take your choice
between the two Republican nominees
Jonathan S. Willis and Samuel Ban
croft, Jr. The FIRST is a straightout
honest Republican, and the other claims
to be a Democrat" Mr.. Bancroft
seems to have known his man and
what peculiar influence" to exert on
political "Hoaters." and in some two
weeks after these honest (?) utterances
Mr.. Handy is acting the role of his
particular henchman, occupying the
highest seat iD his sanctum and direct
ing his campaign. He will hardly deny
his contribution to the Ledger.
We publish matter pertinent to the
season from the newspapers of the State
pro aud con as between these parties, and
if he had followed up the search in the
miscellany of the TIMES he would have
observed such senatorial result dis.
credited. But the gravamen of editor
Handy's charge Of hypocrisy" is that
we do not attack Mr.. Addicks as enter.
tanning an "audacious scheme Of cor.
ruption," viz that we must "pitch
into" Mr.. Addicks OF any one else on
