THE GREEN HILL FIRE BRICK COMPANY
This enterprising company, of North
East, of which VIM. Craig is President,
and II. c. Lowe Secretary and Treasurer,
has been successfully prosecuting the man
ufacturc of fire brick for stoves for the
past two years, and has on hands at pres
ent large stock for the Fall and Winter
trade. Baltimore and Philadelphia are the
principal points to which these goods are
shipped
Unlike some companies, this one does
its own work. all the members being ac-
quainted with the business, and each one
taking the contract for the performance of
a certain part. Two years ago, when the
company was organized, the members be-
ing only poor, hard working men, the CAPT
tai amounted to nothing; but "where there
is will there is a way" and by dint of
hard work and the assistance of kind
friends, they succeeded in erecting the ne
cessary buildings and machinery, and in
securing a good market for sale of their
wares. Now everything is in a fiourishing
condition, and the trouble is not "Where
shall we get demand for our goods?" but
Where shall we get goods for our de-
mand ~ The construction of other, or
the enlargement of the present, buildings,
and the erection of more machinery, in
order to increase the facilities for supply
ing the trade, is in contemplation, and will
perhaps be done in the coming year.
The history of this company is an inter-
esting one, and shows what may be accom-.
plished by those who are determined to
win, even though the effort must be made
against great odds, besides rejecting great
credit upon its members and through them
upon the county.

Thomas Paine.

THERE was semi. panic In Cleveland
4 Pittsburgh railroad stock in New York
Yesterday. It sold down to 72, buyer 90,
and was quoted at 7S at the close. The
break was owing to the fact that the Penn.
sylyania railroad (the guarantOr Of C.
&P.) again passed its quarterly dividend
Yesterday, and this lead to apprehension
and distruss as to c. P. dividends in the
future. Fort Wayne (another guaranteed
protege of the PeDusylysuia) declined to
S5bid, SO asked.
This pauicky feeling isperhaps more
apparent than real. There is not much
C.&P. stock to sell, and the quotations
made for it are a good deal like those
made for the Baltimore & Ohio when it
fell to SO some months ago. The decline
was more a matter Of quotation than Of
OF sale. Bona6de sellers were not in the
market to any extent worth speaking OF.
We have no quotation at this writing
for Pennsylvania stock, but we presume
that it also declined yesterday at Phila.
ielphia after the failure to declare div.
llend became known. The road, big as
it is and immense as Is its business, is
not in satisfactory shape, owing to its
complication with leased lines, and owing
aI.o to Tom scott's speculative rauiiica'
tions throughout the country.
The business OF the road fot the FIRST
nine months of this year shows decrease
iu the net earnings Of 81, ,525,9GG as COM
pared With 1876. All its lines west Of
Pittsburgh show decrease Of s718,37l as
compared with the same time last year.
No wonder the stock declines, especially
after the losses and Liabilities entaiIed by
tho Pittsburgh riots.
