It was at one time the proud boast OF Al
lentown that three OF her iron mills alone
paid their hands over $4,000 per month
ior wages: These companies were the AL
lentown Rolling Mill Company, the Allen
town Iron Company and the Lehigh Iron
Company. The panic in iron, however,
caused sad blow, and these same compa-
nies were at one time not paying more
than $50, 600 per month. Now, however,
they are again at hard work, and there is
no necessity for an idle iron.worker in the
city. The pay rolls amount to about $50
600 per month, which, considering the
great reduction in wages, is equivalent TO

Mr.. Stewart believes that still larger
quantity will be exported during the crop
year Just commenced. He expects to see
over 100000 bushels Of wheat, includ-
ing flour, exported from this country, and
We suspect that even this estimate may
fall below the truth. It is observed, how
ever, in his paper that the average price
in England is about 163 cents per bushel
less than it was at this time last yoar-a
change for which he sees no sufficient
reason. The cost Of transportation to
Liverpool is Il cents higher than it was a
year ago, but the foreign demand, he be-
lieves, is fully so per cent. larger than it
then was.

shows q decided revival Of the trade
Mines, furnaces and forges which have
been idle for six years are being reopened,
and In many cases work Is being pushed

Is In demand and Is shipped to all parts as
quickly as orders can be filled. At Chester
and Port Dram, In New Jersey, new fur
naces are being built and new mines open.

and both employer and employe rejoice at
the new order of things. Boonton, N. j.,
which has long shown no signs OF i'm.

tensive nail works being run 10 their ut
most capacity: At High Bridge, N. j., the
Taylor Iron Works are running night and
day, with orders ahead for five months
and orders constantly coming in. In these
works alone one hundred men find EN-.
ployment, while they draw from works
giving employment to as many more. At
Phillpsburg, N. J., the largest iron manu-.
featuring town III Western New Jersey,
fully one thousand men find employment
in the mills alone. The Warren foundry,
which six months ago was running on

machinery which does away with the en-

ACTIVITY IN pENNsYLyANIA. d'


Passing over to Pennsylvania and into
the Lehigh Valley change for the better
Is even more apparent than in New Jer.
sey. Right at the mouth OF the Lehigh
the iron industry begins. The extensive
iron mines in Williams township are
actively at work, and the demand for man
ntaotured and bar iron was never greater.
Furnaces and mills are everywhere filed
with work. divers Rolling Mill, Stewart
4 Co.'s extensive wire mills, and the
South Easton Furnace are running night
and day. AT Glendon, the Glendon Iron
Company, one oil the strongest iron COM
panies in the country, Is doing an immense
business, They have five stacks, and in
the working Of these and their machine
shops give employment TO over four hum
dred men, exclusive Of the large force OF
miners ana quarrymen who operate the
extensive resources Of the company. On
Saturday last the company put in opera
ton new blast engine OF three hundred
horse power. The ponderous machine
was set in motion and found 10 work satis-
tactorily in every particular. The capacity
OF the works is about 75, 900 tons sannually,
and the works are running to their utmost.
The Keystone Furnace, at Chain Dam,
is also active. This furnace was built and
owned, originally, by stock company. 1t
has one stack, and is one of the finest built
furnaces in the Lehigh Valley. 1t cost
about $500, 900, and was sold at SheriG's
sale, about two years ago, to its present
owner, Henry Fulmer, OF Easton, for about
S70,OOO. It is now being run to its utmost
capacity, which is about thirty thousand
tons annually.
AtReddington, four miles below Bethle.
hem, large furnace OF forty thousand tons
capacity was built and Just fairly in oper.
alton when the blow TO the iron trade
came. The works were idle for several
years except at long intervals. At pres.
ent, the new uprising in the trade having
warranted 1t, the furnace is running with
much work, having been leased by parties
from the owners, the McCarty brothers of
Philadelphia. At Freemansburg the Penn.
sylvania Iron Company's one stack fur
mace is running full. Next comes the Beth.
lehem Iron Company's works at Bethle-
hem. The Bessemer Steel Works at Beth
lehem need no mention to set forth their
extent and the amount Of work done there.
The company also owns large blast fur.
mace, and all the works are running night
and day. Over six hundred men are en-
Ployed. The Bethlehem Iron Company
has also leased the furnace OF the Saucon
Iron Company, on the North Penn road,
a few miles from Bethlehem. 1t has two
stacks and is being run constantly. At
Hellertown the furnace which has been
idle for some time is being put in order
preparatory to being worked. From Beth
lehem to Allentown is distance OF six
miles, which is not taken up by any mills
whatever, but in the latter place you enter
q nest Of iron works which extends far up
the valley.
