One of the most striking characteristics
# the exhibition buildings is the employ
nent of terra Gotta and enameled earthen
ware in their decorations. This employ
nent meets the eye almost everywhere.
The front and back of the building on the
Jhamps de Mars have series of plasters
decorated with square Slabs of brightly
.olored fiience, the ornamentation con-
,isting of two designs alternating with
each other, one composed principally of
,irds, the other of fruits and foliage. One
# the most remarkable colors in these
slabs is n fine bright red, and this is said to
rave been discovered during the expert
nents made with the view to the produc

application of decorative pottery is to be
.een around the doors of the pavilion of
he city of Paris, in the enclosed garden
N the centre of the Champ de Mars,
where is a double border Of large square
slabs, terra Gotta and faience, in reality
believe only limitations in plaster. But the
most remarkable application is that on the
fronts of the pavilions of the fine art gal
leries which face the doors of the city pa

tiles and with much success. The blues

Tho point SO clearly shown by Secretary
schur1, that there was no contraction Of
the currency, but positive imitation, torths
ave years preceding the panic Of 1873 cam
not be too often presented. There was
some contraction OF the currency between
the years 1866 and 1858; bpt'no panic-was
theresult. Contraction was stoppedin 1865,
and in 1869 tho amount Of paper currency
outstanding was six hundred and ninety
three million, nine hundred and forty-six
thousand, tiEty-stx dollars and sixty-one
cents. In 1870 1t was seven hundred mil
lion, three hundred and seyenty.five
thousand, eight hundred and ninety-nine
dollars and torty-cisht cents. In 1871 it
was seven hundred and seventeen million,
eight hundred and seventy-fiye thousand,
seven hundred and fifty-one dollars and
six cents. In 1872 1t was seven hundred
and thirty.eight million, i've hundred and
seventy thousand, nine hundred and three
dollars and ftty.two cents. In 1s1Sit was
seven hundred and fifty million, sixty-two
thousand, three hundred and sixty-eight
dollars and ninety.tour cents-that Is, the
volume had increased over iltty.six million
dollars. And yet on the top otthe ascend
ing series came the panic, with all Its ter
rible consequences. Thus, it appears that
years OF prosperity followed contraction,
and general s,asuation followed expan-
sion. Even alter the panic began, thirty.
one million dollars was added to the cur
rsncy without in the least checking It's

We observe by the Ga:etE Of yesterday
that the bank clearings for the last three
weeks at Pittsburgh do not show an i'm.
proyement in business. For instance, for
the week ending last Saturday they were
1865, 752 81 as against s4,672,sOl IS for
the corresponding week in 1877. Thetotal
clearinss thus far this year aggregate only
sl52,956,5 $50 64 as against $50, 49, O6 81
for the same time last year, and slSl ,04o,;
$50 6S in 1876. Nevertheless, notwith-
standing this exhibit Of the banks, the
Ga:ets says that the outlook forimprose-
ment continues very favorable, especial
" in the iron interest," ldnGl,
Zone OF tho most encouraging features
at present in the iron trade is the increas-
ed demand for railway uses. The steel
rail mills are in all cases experiencing o
demand rather in excess OF their capacity5
and much OF the demand for rails is forced
TO turn TO iron rail mills for supply. A
Pittsburgh firm has. contracted to furnish
several thousand tons OF Iron bridges
for Sothern and Eastern railways since the
opening OF the month, and the demand for
this class OF iron elsewhere is reported TO
be quite active. This revival Of the rail-
way demand for iron Is important in more
views than one. The railroad interest was
the first to exhibit the effect Of the panic
OF 1873 in decreased expenditures upon
their tracks and rolling stock. Their credit
has also been so much impaired by the
frequent defaults OF the past few years,
that no extended expenditures are posi-
Bile except upon the basis OF paying
traffic. These facts warrant the conclu-
son OF the Iron Age that from this time
on the railroads will be larger and more
liberal consumers OF iron than they have
been during the past five years. The fact
that they have been close and small buy
en so long shows that they must be In q
condition to need good deal OF new mate Y !;
rial" 49,.
Speaking OF iron, one Of our manufac-
,urers down this way informed us yester-
day that old rails had advanced to s2i,
and that the surplus was now either used
upor bought up, owing, in part, tothe
fact that the western mills are re-rolling
rails Tor service on the roads out there.
Between this advance in old rails, and the
known fact that the ore shipments from
lake Superior for this season will fall be-
low On average, there is o tendency to
greater strength in tho iron market

VIZ have recently talked with seTera

VIZ have recently talked with several
Wheeling drummers who sell thelWest
Virginia trade. and they report iayorably
as to their experiences on the road this
fall. They say that sales are freer and
collections easier than last year. This Is
particularly the case as respects the coun-
Ties adjacent TO the Baltimore & Ohio road
and Parkersburg branch. Away back from
The railroad the improvement is not 50
noticeable, and for the reason thatoutthete
the people have very littlcto sell asa basis
otbcttsr times. The crops in West Viz:
ripIa for two years past have been good,
and those who have raised these crops and
,old them, whether in the shape of grain
or cattle, have realized fair prices
and put themselves in better sfape'
financially. That is, those who were
p,t too far gone in debt. Unfortu-
nately too many Of our West Virginia far
ners suffer from the prevailing disease,
debt, and arepayins interest on, borrowed
money where they should be receiving i
on bonds. Some OF them, too, hare paid
high rates Of interest, and this. shileihes
were not producing any surplus TO sell,
and while their families were indllging in
extrayagant habits-habits acquired in the
apsh times following the war, when
pianos and organs, fine clothes and other
;ncidentals Of family abandon, including
mortgages and cessation from bard work,
we're INDUCED in very freely.
This loose state Of affairs among the
farmers for several years-this going in
debt process-made things very lively in
The cities md towns whore the selling
was done, but when the accounts OF the
farmers were not settled, and when In
stead OF the cash long notes were given,
the interest on which has only been paid
enthusiastically for the last three or four
wears, times ceased to DO so lively, and
everybody, including the country mer-
chants, have either been squeezing along
yery economically or else going through
bankruptcy, thus rendering trade dull and
improbable for long time past:
Now. however, there is, aswehayc noted,
a slight change for the better. There has
been good deal OF debt wiped out and a
sill larger amount paid of, so that the
slates at the country stores arc compara-
lively sponged of by the one process or
the other, and likewise those ofthcir cred.
i.ors here and elsewhere. This process Of
double-headed settlement, together with
good crops, has opened the way to
more trade and o better feeling, and
from this time on an era Of grad
ual improvement in the trade tribu-
tary to this city is looked for. Merchants,
however, are goingslow and buyers are also
going slow. Aburnt child breads the fire.
There is going to be no rush for some time
TO come, but, at the same time, there will
be an increased volume Of trade.

Assignment OF the BeIlaire Manufacture
ing Company Yesterday.

BRLLAIRE, October Il.
1t pains us to announce that the Bellaire
Manufacturing Company made an assign
ment to-day (Monday). The assignees are
Messrs. B. R. Cowen and Z. G. Morgan.
The following arc the names of the mem
bers composing the company: A. W. An.
derson, Andrew Smith, Anthony Sheets,
Col. C. L. Poorman, Isaac Booth and Har-
rison Butte. The liabilities Of the company
are about 10000, and the real and per-
sonal property assigned, is, by a very
moderate estimate, $4,000. Our inform.
ants concerning the value Of the property
assigned have knownithat the assignment
would take place for several days; have
been consulted, and have carefully figured
on the property, and their estimates are
thoroughly reliable. They estimate Judge
Anderson's residence and grounds at slO,-
00O, which isles than two.thirds ofitsvalue;
Mr.. Sheets's real estate, also included, is
estimated at SIS, 900, and it will certainly
bring more than $4,000. Capt. Andrew
Smiths undivided interest in real estate
at Wegee, including coal property. is esti-
mated at Sl2, 900, certainly worth 81, 900.
Isaac Booths property isput in at $4,000,
much less than its real worth. These arc
only few Of the particulars concerning
the values. The occasion OF the assign.
ment istheimpossibility OF the company
realizing on the property properly belong.
ing to it, owing to the universal shrinEage
in values.
These men being among our most
thorough going citizens in every respect,
hayethe entire sympathyof the community,
aud il is earnestly hoped that they may be
able TO get IN extension OF time so as to al
low them, to realize on,their private prop
erty. " Cal 10 - kaIaN FFr-3IEt
From Another Correspondent.
The Bellaire Manufacturing Company,
manufacturers 81 threshers and reapers,
made an assignment this, Monday afternoon
and each OF the six individual share-hold-
,ers also made an assignment OF his indi-
vidual property for the benefit Of the
creditors OF the company, they being en-
dorsers to very large amount upon the
paper OF the company. The asslgnees are
E, g. Morgan and B. R. Cowen, OF Bellaire.
The liabilities Of the company are about
$4,000, and its assets are in excess OF
10000. The individual assets Of the
stockholders are Ia the neighborhood OF
$4,000; the liabilities aside from the
debtsot the company nothing to speak Of.
In taking this step the proprietors OF
this company assure the public that no
creditor Of the, company will lose dollar
by reason Of the assignment. The action
Is taken to prevent any creditor from Sc
curing preisrment Of his claim. All will
rest upon the same footing, and all will be
paid in full with the least possible delay.
