ONE WEEK OF TRADE

BradsNeet's to-day says: THE hard
ware trades are reported exception
ally active, and some varieties of
goods. notably barb wire, are scarce.
Despite the talk OF rate cutting and
of expectations Of a smaller movement
Of goods as the Spring advances, rail-
way earnings continue exceptionally
favorable Probably the best reports
as to new demands come from the
leather and allied trades. while the
poorest, as heretofore, are received
from the textile Industries. Prices
evince considerable steadiness, despite
slightly lower quotations, for cotton,
corn, cheese and petroleum. Cotton
goods are in fair demand from in
terror and Eastern jobbers. and retnil
business is apparently proceeding at a
good rae In first hands, however, bust
ness is decidedly dull. The print
cloths situations is unsatisfactory
Curtailment does not seem to have ac-
cpmplished its purpose. and the Fall
River manufacturers are expected to
take scme action shortly, one feature
Of which may be a reduction IN wages.
The demand for mems clothing wool
ems as net come up to expectations
while. on the other hand, dress fabrics
have sold quite well. Wool is slow OF
sale at the East, but quite active at
the West, where quotations are said to
be relatively below those of the East
Raw cotton is lower, partly on better
crop advices. but mainly because OF
continued heavy receipts. Failures foI

We have only the kindliest feeling
fer the Brownson baseball club and
those who are interested in It. Our
columns always have been open 10 its
uses and to promote its interests in
the field OF sport therefore what we
say is prompted by friendship and
home pride The club is not what It
should be to represent a city OF 10000
inhabitants. That was proved clearly
in the game with the Chester club on
Thursday afternoon. Our home team
was outclassed from start TO finish by
the visitors, who represented much
smaller city, and the large crowd o.
spectators was disappointed sorely b!
the showing made. If the BrownsoI
people expect to draw crowds and VIII

to their credit to do so at once befor

The indications now are that there
will be a general strike of machinists
In our city on Monday morning. The
men are firm in their demand for a
nine-hcrr day and teD-hour pay, and
there seems to be no disposition on the
part Of their employers to accede to the
request. The president of the interna-
tional association has issued orders that
the strike shall take place unless the
demand Is granted by Monday morning,
and this adds to the seriousness of the
situation, for 1t leaves the local ma
chinists practically no discretionary
power should the employers manifest
q disposition to compromise the mat
ter. The strike, If 1t comes, will be
no childs play. Its effect will be fell
seriously not only in the shops, bui
also in hundreds Of homes and bust
ness places When work stops, wages
stop and the pinch is felt in many di
rectlons Wilmington has been re
markedly free from labor disturbances

loctor to take a half-teaspoon-

just what particular Democrats shall

election will do more to decide who Is

during the next two years than any
thing else, for it will have brt an in
