W. A. Handlcy, z. J. Wright. NJ. Schues- sler, R, W. Griffin, R. l.. Schucssler, w. A. Knight, A. NJ. Awbrey. The directors then elected the following officers: ". A. Handley, President; R. l.. Schuessier, Vicc-Presidcnt; z. J. Wright, Secretary; M. Schuessler, Treasurer. :.
 At this meeting it was also decided to double the size and capacity Of the new 5000 spindle cotton factory which this company operates in Roanoke. This Is d remarkably good showing for Roanoke as an industrial town, when 1t IS remcm- bered that this mill was built by home capital entirely at cost or SloO.uW and has only been in operation six months. It has p-oven a paying investment from the first. It is s>proposed now to offer for sale first mortgage interest bearing gold bonds to the amount of $l2o.oO for the next thirty days, payable in forty years, in denomination of $l.V0 each, bearing interest at the rate of per cent per an mum. With this money extensions ad- dittons and improvements will be made
 The W. A. Handley Manufacturing Company owns seventy-five acres or real estate in tho city Of Roanoke. on which Is located two-story brick building, hii- ed with the latest improved textile ma chinery. having fine power plant. electric light plant. water works, fire extinguish- CT, warehouses tenant houses, etc. All this property except the real estate, IS exempt from State, County and munich pal taxation.
 Roanoke is justly proud of this splendid plant as. 1t shows what home pluck and capital can do and one of the most sig nifcant things is the decision to double the capacity after being in operation only SIX months. It is doubtful if there is 4 parallel to this case in any small town in the South.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
Continued from Sixth Page.)

= cries. while those few fortunate sellers of spot material continue to secure large premiums. Pittsburg pig iron is definite ly higher and large contracts are stIll undcr negotiation between the Bessemer producers and the leading consumer. Coke continues tp move little more free ly yet prices are fully sustained.
 In the markets for textile products there is a distinctly firm tone. Labor
 troubles and the high position of raw cotton are both factors of strength, while mills have orders that will occupy their
 full capacity for some time. Although
 quotations are nominally without change
 the scarcity of available supplies makes it simple matter to hold prices Export inquiry for sheetings and drills has in
 creased but makers insist on higher prices
 than are offered in many cases. It is
 between seasons for woolen goods and buyers are anxiously looking for goods
 to replace deliveries interrupted by the strike at olneyville and vicinity.
 No improvement Is recorded in cond- where only the larger manufacturers ara able to keep going. Prices ot shoes are unchanged, although buyers are holding back for better terms. Leather has stead jed under large purchases of sole and
 bclting and the additional support of
 heavy exports. Domestice hides again
 average lower.
 Widely divergent views as to the crop
 outlook resulted in dull market for the
 cereals and only small changes in prices
 Wheat receipts for the week were but
 2.074699 bushels. against 3.S57135 last year, while exports from all parts of the United States amounted to 3.269070 bush els compared with 4626,037 year ago There was not the customary loss in re- ceipts of corn: 1.5S0.505 bushels compar- ing with 1.s02 027 year ago. but Atlantic exports were only 2o4.3 bushels against 3.046saI. It is not surprising that cotton | is so firmly held in view of the dispatches l from correspondents of R. G. Dun & Co | in the South These reports indicate small stocks of | old cotton and a decrease of acreage for | the next crop with smaller sales of fer | tiiizers and a backward season. The | course of commodity prices during the month of March indicates a seasonable tendency downward. Dun's index num- ber give the aggregate of quotations pro- portioned in consumption was s99 222 on
 April l. against s1oi,593 month previous.
 This decline of 23 per cent was mainly
 due to the higher temperature which ac- celerated the output of garden and dairy
 products.
 Failures in the United States this week
 were 167 against 195 last year and % in
 Canada. against % last year.

Of the year that take annual inventory
of stock to ascertain how many pianos have
sold in the year previous, and to mark those
pianos which We think it advisable to dispose

the piano dealer natmslly feels elated, and the
only thing that mars his pleasure is the finding
OF slightly used pianos and pianos OF the model
OF one or two years back in his stock. He feels
that sacrifice is too great for these instru-
ments, for by disposjng of them he can make q
much better showing in his yearly statement
and the room they occupy can be devoted TO
the showing Of the latest and newest models
from the factory. This is the opportune moment
for the piano purchaser TO visit him. He Is in
frame of mind to give almost any concession
in price that is asked or, and the purchasers can
practically make their own terms.

chase of Piano all the winter. and have pur-
