IRON AND NAILS.
The New scaIs---Ths Old Card
The Nail Association Decide on a Three
Weeks suspenslon-More Signatures
TO the $3.50 Scale.
PIrrspuRaH, June 8, lssO.

4lLlbbVHAlhl Vuhc ~ 49Sbs
There was q regular meeting Of the
Western Nail Association this morning,
the attendance being pretty fair. There
was general discussion Of the situation,
resulting in the members agreeing that
stocks were light in iobber's hands, and
that, though there was undoubtedly plen.
ty of cutting" by dealers, the card had
been well sustained. 1t was decided, how
ever, that the state OF the trade justified
another three weeks rest on the part OF the
manufacturers, and a motion prevailed
that the mills close for three weeks out OF
the four beginning Monday, June 14lh.
The old card is s. % per keg.
After this action the secretary was re.
quested to embody In letter TO the fami.
ly OF the late R. +. smyth, the sympathy
OF the association, OF which the deceased
was Vice President and valued member,
The meeting then adjourned. Meanwhile
dealers are selling all the nails wanted at
S2.75, 81 S5 and s. per keg. 1t is learned,
also, that parties are to-day delivering
nails at these figures, nails contracted for
at S.. Somebody must be growing pretty
tired OF the nail business.
As for the iron situation, the Clock out"
Is thing OF the past. The demoraliEing
effects OF outside mills daily signing the
new scale has resulted in general break
down OF even the stalwarts among the
Pittsburgh anti.scalers. Orders are said
TO be coming in more freely, and new
signers TO the puddlers' scale are being
heard OF hourly. Secretary Martin, Of the
Amalgamated Association, has pursued q
very conservative policy, and will not deal
in anything but absolute facts. He gives
the following names Of Pittsburg firms
who signed since yesterday: Henry Lloyd,
Son & Co., Moorhead & Bro. VIM. CLARK
& Co., Nimick & Co., Shoenberger & Co.
In addition the arm OF spang, Chaliant
