Years TRADE ~ Compared with
the Business OF Previous Years.
All the industrial establishments Of
Nav Castle have assumed very busi-
ness like appearance. The cry Of hard
times "a not once mentioned. Work
mas been more plentiful this season
than II has been for many years back.
Ali the mills are running upon full
time and q number have been and are
still running night and day.
TIE HEW CASTLE IRON AID STEEL co.
During the present year, with the
New Castle Iron aud Steel Company,
Hugh K. Steele, President, and John
d. Steele, Secretary and Treasurer,
trade has been very active. Since the
Indiana elections the condition Of bus
mess has been better and Furthermore
| It has been increasing subsequent to
the Presidential election. The volume
OF business last year was greater than
| 1t has ever been known, and this year
II has been ten 10 fifteen per cent
greater. In the year 1878 the iIol
production was as good as It was In
1873, the year previous to the com
mencement Of the panic. The outlook
for future work is good, but there is no
Likelihood just now Of prices increas'
ing. The firm is preparing to employ
more meu. Seventy-fve hands are fur
nishsd with work this year, brt in two
or three weeks the force will be In.
creased twenty-five per cent. The
company is engaged iu making ireh for
tubes and dispOBes Of the greater por.
tion Of its stock TO the Delaware Iron
Company.
THE DELAWARE IRON COMPANY.
The Messrs. Tasker think that the
latter portion has been the best part Of
this year. Taken has q whole this year
has been far better than last year. The
firm has been kept buster this season
than 1t has been for any season since
the year 1872. The prospect for future
work is very good. Trade is rapidly
incre g Asing and it is very probable that
prices will advance. The Republican
victory, Mr.. Tasksr thinks, will have a
good effect on trade. The works are
running day and night and seven hun
drsd men are employed, being an in,
ere ase Of twenty five per cent. over the
number employ ed last year. The force
will soon be increased. The company
trades with Canada, South America,
China, Spain and the United States.
WILLIAM LIZA SONS.
Since the remodeling o: William Lea
| & Sons -four mill the establishment has
been running to the full extent OF its
capacity. From l40 to $50 barrels o.
flour are manufactured daily and they
find ready sale. In fact the order.
have become 80 mum erous the company
fluids 1t difiuult TO I'LL them as rapid ,
as they would like. Fifteen men srt
employed. Wheat Is advancing and
the price Of flour will increase.
WILLIAM 9. KNOWLES FACTORY.
The woolen factory, William G
Knowles, proprietor, has been doing
very fourishing business this season
At times during tbs year the employ ee
worked both day and night. Owing t
} the abs sence Of the proprietor the re
, porter Of the REPUBLICAN, was unable t
learn any more facts in reference to tn
establishment.
J. c. sHAw's COTTON FACTORY.
This year, Mr.. Shaw says, has bee
Ia fair one and was better than lai
Iycar. A fact which he PARTICULAR
notices is that no year in which
= President OF the United States We
elected was so good in business poin
OF view as the present season. Las
January the business went boomin
4 along, but now it isquieter. He woul
r rather avoid business booms as the
i are very uncertain. The Republica
o victory, ho thinks, will have goo
\ IefIeot upon the trade. II the Demt
crAcy had successfully elected its car
I ldidate, business would have soon bt
. c)me very unsettled. This year h
I has employed $50 hands, the sam
. number employed last year. The col
ton at this cStsbl:shment Is spun fC
4 the manufacturer. Ten bales are use
daily. Automatic machinery is opsrf

il lesse aed. A portion OF the maehiner
