The Benwoodiurnace at Martins Ferry,
was fred up Wednesday afternoon at four
o'clock, and the blast was put In at II 40
Thursday morning, and at II 80 yesterday
morning the first iron came from the iur-
mace. This is the quickest tims yet made
around here. The Riverside succeeded in
turning out iron in twenty.iour hours,
but this was beaten quarter OF an hour
by Manager Bird yesterday. The cast
made was something over five tons and the
iron was beautiful gray, chafcoal. This
furnace has been completely overhanled
during the past three months and placed
| in perfect order, by Manager Bird. The
lining md baCkwGll have been renewed, a
now bell and hopper have been put in,
the hot blasts have been overhauled and
repaired and made as good as new. The
blast and steam engines have also been
REPAIRED and put in good order. A new
steam drum hos been added TO one OF the
batteries OF boilers, as well as new stack
and breeching. Bythese repairs heCapacity
has been considerably increased and 1t Is
expected that the daily average Of metal
will be much greater than heretofore.
EELLAIRE.
Business is rather slack among the glass
houses in Bellaire just now, which,
however, is OF annual occurrence
and therefore was not unexpected.
Statesmen are out from about all the
factories, but as a rule they are
making no returns, but write that mer-
chants are taking stock and do not caro- to
increase their supplies until their condi.
lion is ascestained, but they also say that
stocks are low and there vii! be an inUreas-
ed demand in lew weeks. Holiday goods
such as engraved and etched wares are in
demand and many Of the factories are
turning out quantities Of theseTares. In
regard to the dilne8s the manufacturers
say that 1t is confined TO no particular 10.
cality, bnt is general in prevalence.
The E!na works are engaged in making
fancy wares for the holiday trade. Their
etched goods arc in demand and have evil
IDENTIFY made good impression upon the
trade.
The Belmont Glass Works are doing q
fair business and arc selling about all the
ware they can make. The secretary
thinks that the glass trade will pick up
very materially within the nextfew weeks.
The National Works, Rodetor Bros, viii
close down their chimney shop to-day in
conformity with the the action OF the Ma
tional Association at Pittsburgh last week.
1t Is thought that another extension Of
time will be made at the end OF the period
prescribed, viz, four weeks, as there is
every indication that the supply OF Chin
neys already on the market will not have
been sufficiently reduced against that
time TO warrant an immediate resumption.
The Rodeier Brothers will now turn their
attention to the manufacture OF globes,
and TASKS Of which staples they manu-
iaCture large quantities. :
The managers OF the Bellaire Window
Glass Works report a splendid business
and rapid sales OF their glass.
The Union Window Glass company is
also doug fine business. The Goblet
Works are doing fair amount Of business
but like the other flint glass works in the
city, are little slack ut present.
