INDUSTRIAL ITEMS
Gathered From Mills and Factories
Hsreab0atS.
On account oil other duties our reporter
has been unable to make his usual weekly
visit to the mills for several weeks past,
and for this reason our industrial column
has been somewhat neglected. A tour Of
them, however, was made yesterday, and
the results he gives below. Nearly every
manager or official whom we met yester.
day was glad Of one Of two things, and
some OF both OF them; viz: either that the
election was over or that the result Ia as
it Is, many OF them, let us parenthetically
remark, Of the latter especially. On &C.
count Of the intense interest that has been
taken in this contest, business has been
rather light in many factories, but now
that the election Is well over and all are
assured Of q continued good government
and q protection OF their interests, they
are settling down to 3 vigorous prosecI-
ton OF work again, with good prospects
OF steady run. The iron mills and
glass factories aro running nearly full, aud
some OF them altogether 80, and by next
week, or the week after, every stack here.
sbouts will be sending out volumes Of
smoke.
WHEELING.
The Top mill Is on In all departments, ex,
cept the furnaces, which will be blown in

ties OF coke and ore are now arriving and
filing in will begin at once. The capacity
OF this furnace heretofore has been about
seventy tons per day, but during the sum
mer important changes aud alterations

there will be an increase OF twenty-five
per cent per day or seventeen tons.
