DRY GOODS.

New York. Jan. S1.-The uncomfortable
weather conditions had a disheartening
effect on trade in the local stores in the
dry goods market today. The mail orders
were of fair size however. The demand for
cottons is still restricted in oil grades. The
price and tone. however, is well sustained
owing to print cloth strength and strike
conditions. In woolens the business pass
ing is of a fair dimension, lhoush scatter
ing. Jobbers report a fair day in all lines
of goods, although not many buyers are re-
ported to be in the market. In staple cot
tons there as noted a further hardening in
brown goods, sheetings and drill being OBJ
tainable only at quoted prices Print cloths
continued firm at Fall River. BID for extras
at 3-l6e are steadily refused. Odd goods
are firm on basis of extras or perhaps
slightly better. In prints there is no
change of movement.

Impatient Man Trapped and Held By

From the Kansas City Times.

From the Kansas City Times.
There is one man i'm Kansas city who
will never again be so anxious 10 get out
of a theater that he will try TO climb over
the seats This man was at the matinee at
the Grand yesterday afternoon, and when
he had stood on one foot for twenty min
utes, with the other foot securely fastened
in the seat upon which he had stepped in
his wild desire to get out ahead of the
man in front of him, he made a mental
resolve that the next time he would abide
his time II required the combined efforts
of twelve men, including Stage Carpenter
Lyman. who acted as foreman, 10 extricate
the rash Individual and hammer, a saw
and screw driver had TO be brought into
play before the prisoner was released.
The man sat well down in the orchestra
chairs, and as soon as the curtain dropped
on the last act of In Old Kentucky" he
began to figure on getting out before the
people who sat six rows behind him. His
first move was TO forget all the laws of
propr.ety and step on his seat in order to
climb over behind II. His second move was
to stay just where he was. The seat not be-
ing made for a step ladder, turned with
him, and his left fcot sipped down between
the iron work at the back and the leather
covered bottom of the seat. There il went
and there Il remained. The man could not
pull his foot out, nor could any of a crowd
of men who volunteered to do a little tug
ging.
The too rapid man had started out while
wearing an overcoat He found the coat
too heavy and slipped out of 1t. He then
began to notice that il was warm in the
theater. He took of his hat. Next he I'M
buttoned his vest and began to perspire at
faster rate than ever.
Take Off his shoe said one bystander
but shoe and foot were there together
and there was no freeing one without the
other. Finally, member of the orches-
