THE STATE GRANGE.
Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting Opened at
Martinsburg-The Masters Address.

Special to the Register
Martinsburg, w. Va, October A.
The twenty-fifth annual meeting of the
State Grange began here to-day with
fourteen of the eighteen subordinate
oranges represented. T. c. Atkinson,
Master of the Grange, delivered his an
nual address. He said he could see
nothing but encouragement in the work
of the Grange since the last meeting,
and he believed that the order was at
the beginning of a, general revival. He
approved of the rural mail delivery sys-
tenn and said the farmers should de-
mand its extension as rapidly as pos
slble. He also complimented the Board
of Agriculture on it's selection of G. c..
Brown as institute director, and warmly
praised the plan of the agricultural
home reading course of the University,
and the work of the experiment sta

DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, October 14-The dry goods
market is still inactive in most cotton
lines. The market shows no change ex-
cept in print cloths which have weakened
again, but it is probable that sellers will
make concessions quietly to secure orders
of any moment in staple cottons ond sim
liar lines. Wooden goods are well sustain
ed on the other hand and the demand bids
fair to be active both on seasonable goods
and fall lines, inquiries for which are
made from time to time. Print cloths
sold yesterday at Fall River at 7-16c.
which is a low a point as was ever reach
ed in the chief eastern market. Prints and
ginghamS show no changes.
