DRY GOODS MARKET.

Fall River Jan. 2.-There was even less
trading during the past week than durin g
either of the three previous weeks. There
have been no sales of regular 81 squares
for four weeks. Sales of odds were only
5000 pieces in all; 900 pieces spot. The
market is still nominally cents, but
the market is not better than 21s cents.
There would not be much surprise II the
market got down to 224 cent when trading
of any amount is resumed.
The stock increased 5000 pieces, regu-
lars gaining more than odds. The stock
is now over 10000 pieces and increases
between 1900 and 10000 pieces every
week.
Twenty thousand pieces of Boston regu-
lar Ga square print cloth spots were sold
in the local market Friday at q. cents.
The local market price is still at cents,

THEY CHANGED HIS WHEELS
How the Boys In the Country Treated One
of the Hackmen.

The boys say they have 1t on Doc
Root this time. According to the tale
told by the members of the same pro-
fession to which the Doctor" belongs,
Doc took a load Of passengers to a
dance north OF the city, near where
the dam IS locat ted and while the driver
was watching the dance some one
changed the wheels on his vehicle, put
ting the hind wheels in front. Doc
thought there was something wrong
about his hack, but did not discover
the real cause until in the afternoon
when he attempted % hitch up his team
During the evening it IS said that some
of the boys were accused of having
brought hard cider to the dance, and
the boys laid it on Doc who received
a regular curtain lecture before he
could convince the lady that the boys
had lied.

Senator John sherman Of Ohio opened
the cslnpsign at Columbus, Ohio, on
Friday Of last week. The Senator read
a carefully prepared paper but dared
not throw down the gauntlet 10 his enc.
niles by making a speech, aud allowing
hls hearers TO question him and his
statements. Thus even the "Author Of
hard times" himself must decline TO de.
bate the financial question with the free
silver lunntlcs. After thirty years and
more as a leader ol the single gold stand
Ard party, he prepares and reads an es
say, but dares not make speech.
