Va., is as far from a settlement as ever and scenes of violence are just as frequent. Wednesday night a fire, sup posed to be incendiary, broke out at the ear house of the company in South Wheeling, The less was not serious. Two hours later a riot occurred in the same vicinity. The public is losing patience with the strikers, but owing to the fact that every labor organization in the city has taken up their cause and de clared boycotts on all who patronize the street cars, it seems almost impossi ble for matters to be settled in any other way than by arbitration. The cause of the strike was the discharge of two men for discouitesies to passengers. No wane Question is involved. ia a shade weaker than a weSfe. ago.

Com- m-rcial travelers from Baltimore are re turning, some having finished their trips, 1 there to meet southern merchants and customers expected in Baltimore in large numbers about inauguration time to make the season’s purchases in person.

Print cloths are firm at 4 cents, with de liveries equal to the output and no stock at the milt-, against 50,000 pieces on hand one year ago and 340,000 two years ago. Reports from the more important southern commercial centers indicate that continued imtavorable weather and bad roadways at the interior have exer cised a further unfavorable influence. Business is steady at Nashville, but there is no rush. The weather has improved, but is not en tirely favorable.
