THE WORKS

consist of 4 mill 175x4S feet built of brick
three stories high, and large and com
modious basement underneath the whole
building. An addition has been erected on
the east end of the mill which is 4Sx120
| feet, and cOnnectc. with the rest of the
buildings are two basement houses, a large
and eommodious boarding house and an
office. 1t is a full seven set mill, has 3S
broad looms, employs 100 hands and its
average production is 1900 yards per week
of morocco beavers, the pay roll amount
ing to $4,000 per month The goods are
made from Australian and South American
wool the last being used the most, and they
have some five different coors, and for
finish and durability are considered the
very best, The power used is water,
the works being supplied with three "Sef-
fell wheels all of them aggregatng 100
horse power, and there is also 90 horse
power Davis Steam Engine, which is used
when the water is low and also furnishes
the steam with which the buildings are
|
precautions against fire than this. From
each floor, on the outside are fire escapes
force pump and hose are found on each
floor, in the yard is a large double hydrant,
and steam injector goes into every room,
which could he filled with steam at Sec
ond's notice.
The goods are sold on commission and
such is the reputation that they bear, that
they were obliged TO run on full time all
through the late panic, and now orders are
ahead. Much of the success is due to Mr..
James =. Gill, the gentlemanly superin-
tendant OF the entire works, who although
he has been here only few years, has
gained hosts of friends and by the employ
ees Also is spoken of in terms of the high
est praise. He is well assisted by Mr..
Bentley who has the general charge OF the
mill, and under the supervision of Mr.
Gill, upheld by the Messrs. Harding,
career of prosperity equal to what it has
been for the last few years may be expected
from the mill.

supply Of Sole Leather and Advance
In Price

1t seems that within the last three
years there has been heavy increase
in the export of hemlOck sole leather,
the annual European consumption
reaching the enormous amount of l.
OO0,OOO sides, which are scattered all
over the continent as well as through.
out England Since the beginning Of
the year, it is estimated, SOC, 900 sides
have been shipped from New York
alone, 10 which other important points,
like Boston and Philadelphia, have
materially added. From the fact that
prices have been satisfactory, the ex
pOrtatiOn is likely 10 continue until the
reduction OF stock and the advance Of
figures at home render its abandon
ment more profitable. Boot and shoe
manufacturers are carrying very light
stocks, and a close observation OF the
stocks of leather out of tan, held by
leather dealers, shows steady decrease
under the export and moderate con-
sumptive demand.-NeW York Shoe

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The most remarkable feature of the
financial situation is the profound i'm
difference into which the public mind
has settled with reference to the action
OF Congress he veto of the President
has produced the impression that he
will allow no more Initiation, direct or
indirect, open or disguised. The West,
which was represented as wildly eX-
cited on the subject, has accepted the
decision OF tue President with perfect
content. The East is at least satisfied
that matters are no worse, And with
the exception of a slight feeling of I'M
certainty rs to legislation, which unites
with other causes to produce some
dizziness i'm business circles, Congress
goes its way almost uuheeded by the
public.-NcW York Times.
We have heretofore referred to the
very able speech of Senator Alcorn, of
Mississippi, in favor of the Civil
Rights Bill. On the school question
he called attention to the fact that in
his State, though the whole machinery
of Jaw was in the hands If the eOlored
people, who made the laws, levied the
taxes and appointed the School Boards,
net there UaS not nlired school in the
State. This was because the culored
people did not desire mixed schools.
The alarm about the destruction OF
schools by mixing colors, was there
fore false alarm. The colored people
were as sensible on the subject as the
white people Cincinnati Commercial.

Pittsburgh Pig Iron and Bloom Mar.
ket-Reekly Review, May 90.

Pig iron continues quiet, but there is
a firmer feeling apparent; this is evil
dent from the fact that there is more
inquiry in regard to the article and less
offering. a couple OF weeks ago the
feeling pervaded to some extent that
good standard forge irons would drop
down to abouuS cash, and ifany con-
siderable amount had been offered then,
at that figure, it is doubtful whether it
could have been sold. Now, however,
there would be no difficulty in dspos-
ing of almost any amount at the price
in question, but there are no sellers,
that is, of standard brands. The con-
vention of pig iron manufacturers
which was In session in Philadelphia,
on Thursday, urged producers to cur.
tail production aud put out fires rs soon
as possible. There is no question but
what the'production has been falling of
steadily for some time past all over the
country, and the Indications are that
there will be an almost entire su-pen-
sion by the first OF July. Quotations

The Tradc In Eggs.

Just think of it, 4OO,0OO,0OO of eggs
brought to this city in a year? That
would be over 33 900 d., which ut an
average price of say IS cents per dozen
would represent n business of Sc, 0O0,-
coo, and that is just about what 1t is.
They come frCm every Western State,
from this State, from New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, aud even some of the
Southern States and Canada and South
America. They come in barrels most
ly, containing from 20 TO 20 dozen,
packed in straw, seldom in bran. The
best packing is rye straw cut about half
an inch in length. Wheat straw is
frequently used, but it is not so good.
Dat straw should never he used it is
too heating somehow. Some few come
in patent cases or boxes holding about
80 dozen, in which they sre separated
from each other by n sort of pasteboard
network of trays. But the trouble
of taking care of the boxes, gathering
them up and shipping them back
make them undesirable to handle.
These patent cases come principally
from St. Louis, Louisville and other
Southern points. The shippers of eggs
to market constitute IA separate and
distinct class Of middlemen, who gath
err them up from the farmers in the
interior. They are consigned here to
the receivers, commission merchants,
who generally handle butter, and
sometimes cheese in addition. There
are probably from so to 20, receivers in
this city, principally on the west side.
The receivers sell to another class of
smaller dealers or midilemen, as well
as to the retail grocers, hotels, restaur-
ants, &C., and these dealers again sell
to retailers and consumers.-Americd
