A H HANDSOME ESTAB-
LISHMENT.
Such is the General Verdict

CONCERNING THE CLOTHING HOUSE
OF ]. HoPFLIN CO.
The west sales room in the hand
some new Gray Block, corner of
Liberty anu Third streets, is the
abiding place of one of the finest
equipped clothing and furnishing
goods houses to be found anywhere
in the State. 1t is new house, too,
having been established on the Ist
of September. The firm style is 7.
Hoff1in & Co.; the resident partner
is Mr.. J. Greentree.
Mr.. Hoff1in makes his home at
Norfolk, Va, where he is carrying
on large clothing trade. He also
has branch house at Columbus,
Ga, and is now preparing to open
still another house in Norfolk. We
don t suppose We will see him in
Winston very frequently, but, all
the same, Mr.. Greentree is abund-

friends and patrons Will increase
with great rapidity. He is young
mana Baltimorean-.has been con-
nected with the clothing trade for
thirteen years or more, and he has
already given to our people many
evidence of his peculiar adaptation
to conduct the business here.
We feel like saying ii good word
for the house in this great issue of
THE SENTINEL. From the tasty
display i'll the elegant show win
dows to the arrangement of the
minutest items of stock, there is
everything to commend and nothing
to criticise. The character of this
stock is noteworthy, too. There
are no shop worn or old style goods
upon counters or shelves or in show
cases. Everything is fresh-has
been bought from the leading man
ufacturers OF the country, and this
large stock is open to the inspection
of our people. We notice, too. that
it is Mr.. Greentree's desire to es.
pecially cater to that class of custo
mers who require the better class
of goods. He shows suits worth as
much as $40, but he carries a large
line of low-p priced goods as we'll
for instance he can sell suit o.
clothes for as little as 81. In cheap
or expensive, everything is new ane
fashionable, and the remark will al
SO apply to the furnishing goods de
partment. In neckwear, gloves
shirts, hosiery. underwear, etc.
there is magnificent assortment te
select from, and we speak from ;
knowledge of facts in the case whel
we assert that the ruling prices arr
exceptionally low.

Mr.. Greentree informs us that hi
trade thus far has been beyond hi
expectations--he looks for a yer,
satisfactory fall and winter trade

success OF the enterprise. Each
wagon is found to be as represented.
Dealers handle them with degree
of confidence inspired by the repu-
tation gained Iy the factory during
half a cen'ury's ACTIVE work, and
farmers buy them because they
know them to he reliable.
We might indulge in all manner
of laudatory comments concerning
this, the oldest established Wagon
Factory of North Carolina, and yet
not exaggerate in the least. But
we don't feel inclined to write any
thing OF the kind. The Factory has
too long been in existence-it is
too well known--the merits of its
product are too generally conceded
to require anything of the kind at
our hands and from what we know
of the gentlemen composing the
firm we believe such eulogy would
be slistastcfuI TO them. So we will

prosperous New Year TO 9. E. Mis-

this opportunity to return them the
thanks Of THE SENTINEL.
The business OF wagon making
as a distinctive enterprise in Waugh
tow n was established by the late ].
T. Nissen as long ago as I8.34-
more than half century ago. AS
a matter of course his facilities for
manufacturing were but limited
everything was then made by hand,
the demand tor wagons was rela-
lively limited, and at that early day
We don't suppose that it entered
Mr.. Nissen's mind that the day
would come when steam and
machinery would be made to do the
bulk of the labor in his factory or
| that the time would come when the
product of the Works would reach
700 wagons per year, and that they
would find a market throughout this
and other States.

forty years he managed its affairs,

than now. Its business for 1854
showed decided increase over that
for 1883; and we can see for our
selves that 1855 has been propitious.
1t is not within our province to
enter upon a detailed description of
the blishment of Gray q Mar

not lacking in anything that serves
to make such a house completes

Under the new regime the

The increase. in product
Tor 1855 over 1854 is illus

mistake morphine for quinine, and
the iact is worth remembering. As
a matter of courses the prescription
business of the firm is large, as it
ought to be where such depart
ment is in charge of such competent
men, and in the future as in the past
each patron of the house may rely
upon having his or her prescription
filled with the purest, the freshest

Another department that de-

some show cases is a great variety
of exquisite articles known as fancy
goods, and these things add much
to the attractiveness of the sales
room.
So far as the trade of Gray &
Martin is concerned we may say
that it gains in volume as the years
pass by. Its business, both at whole
sale and retail has extended into all

me outside interest aroused in the stock
market early in the week by the manipu-
lated advance and the favorable news de-
velopment was so considerable as to- alb
sorb the holdings Of speculative bull pools
and also, according to current report, some
large holdings by banking and large inan-
cial interests, which bought stocks In the
December panic at a level of absolute safe<
~. Conservative interests of this class
take a certain profit on such holdings
rather than hold for further rise on pros
poets OF future value. The rather violent
collapse in prices of the midweek and the
steady stream of realizations later show
conclusively that a considerable proper
ton or the previous buying was for purely
speculative account by weak interests. But
in many stocks there has been evidence of
large and persistent demand at all
price levels touched. which Is good
indication of an absorption going
on for investment purposes. The
motives Of this kind of buying were sew
eral, including the declaration Of new or in
creased dividends. both on railroad and in
dustrial stocks, the high level of earnings
maintained by the railroads., the large vol
ume of their traffic in spite of advances Of
freight rates now in force, and the prospect

railroad systems were also III process OF

the great iron Industries show a healthy
tone for future contracts, which are all
that can be considered in that business,
owing to a full engagement of present ca
pacities. Large bank clearings outside the
money centers OF the East show the con-
tinuance of general business activity above
last years high level, notwithstanding the
falling off in purely speculative activity.
The high price and the active market for
cotton are believed to assure future pros
porous conditions and potential demand for
merchandise and products from a large por-
ton of the country. Money continues easy.
but the prospect of renewed absorption by
the United States treasury in taking up
the revenue surplus. and the reduced inflow
to New York, owing to renewed use of
money In business at interior points, adj
monishes to caution in imitation of credits
on unsound speculative values.
