CONSIDERABLE INTEREST

Being Manifested in the Coming
State Convention of Grocers.
The regular meeting of the Wheeling
Retail Grocers Protective Association
held last evening, was the best at
tended meeting held this summer. The
reason Of this was probably the ar
rangements being made for the fourth
annual State convention meeting,
which will be held at Charleston Sep
TENDER 4th to Sth. This promises to
be the largest attended meeting yet held
by this body
An elaborate programme has been
arranged for this occasion, and the re-
cult will be of vast benefit to the en-
ttre retail trade of the State. Gov.
Atkinson and Mayor Floyd will deliver
addresses of welcome. There will also
be present Ed w. Godfrey, secretary
of the National Association of Retail
Grocers. Following are the delegates
of the local association, who will leave
here on the 10 a. m. train over the Ohio
River railroad on Monday, September

The Democrats or the First 'JOn-
gressional district will assemble in
convention at Sisitersville to-day to
select candidate to make the race
against Capt. B. B. Dovener. The
party leaders are determined to unite
upon the most available man, as there
is a general conviction that the DEM
ocrats may profit by the disaffection in
the ranks of the opposition. and can
succeed with a clean candidate who
will COMMEND himself to Republican
and Independent voters, many OF whom
will not support Capt. Dovener in any
contingency.
The convention prom ises to be well
attended. At the recent primary cleo
tion fifty delegates were chosen to
represent Chic county, and at least
nan of that number will go down 20
Sistersville on the trains departing
frc.n the Ohio River railroad station
e,t eight and ten clock this morning.
The fare for the round trip is s1.95
ana tickets will be good returning I'M
til the Goth inclusive.
One of the Hancock county delegates
who was in the city last night, stated
that the Republicans ut Judge Camp
bells home say that one hundred OF
their number will not support DoveneI.
A Braxton county delegate stated that
Judge Campbell also has many friends

feel very bitterly toward Capt. Doven-
err, and will support the Democratic
nominee.

has been nominated for the Legisla-
ture; Hon. VIM. NJ. Kincaid. of Cam
eron; Hon. John o. Pendleton and Col.
w. w. Arnett, of Wheeling
A boom has been started for Col.
Moore Jackson, of Clarksburg, presi-
dent of the Short Line railroad COM
pany, and it has received quite an i'm
petus during the past few days. Col.
Jackson is understood to have discour-
aged the movement, but some of his
friends insist that he should be nomi
mated, ana he that he will accept.
Hon. Andrew Edmiston, Of Weston,
will be one of the strongest candidates
before the convntion, and in the event
of his nomination would make an ac-
tive, energetic and in all probability,
successful canvass.

Output Of the Great Industries SUR
passes All Previous Records.

New York, Feb. 1O.-R. G.. Dun 81
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
The industries are still surprising IN
actual output the work of any pre-
vious year. Their new business is not
correspondingly large, nor could such
orders be accepted by most industries
if offered, but enough are coming to
prevent stoppage of works or much
decline in prices. In woolen goods
new business of remarkable volume
suStains a marked advance in prices,
and in other lines of Importance, as in
machinery, orders indicate a surpris-
ing foreign demand.
Cotton followed its rise from to
81 cents last week by a further rise
to $50 cents, with growing belief that
the crop will prove short enough and
the consumption large enough to give
holders their own way.
The weekly output of mig iron Feb
ruary 1st was 29S,O14 tons. but stocks
unsold rose 20,39O tons in January, in
dicating consumption slightly small
er than the output when the month
began. The decline of prices for some
weeks in bars, plates and sheets has
been checked. Large orders have been
taken for these and other products.
Failures for the week were 245 IN
the United States, against PIT for the
same period last year, and 33 in Can
ada, against 35 last year.

Frank A. Dix, as agent of a brand Of
baking powder, who had been convict
ed in the municipal court of a viola

Lochren decided that the act could
not be regarded as an inspection
measure, was an unreasonable exercise
of the police power and, if or>er state
legislatures should adopt measures Of
a similar kind, it would amount to
burdensome restriction of commerce
and the law was unconstitutional
