r,SsrRsH, October THE evidences OF
4. .Sansed state OF affairs since business
,.,,xrted can beseen everywhere through
Il, ascity. The streets are thronged. eY.
II hrsone meets wears . cheerful, alert
4. "a. tells OF energy redireeted 10 the
=, industries OF the city. Men hurry
y, the streets ana stand more erect, as
erased self.respect came with the re-
- trade. The noise of the machinery
|. a. mills is heard in all directions, and
.,;,tleS are sounding continuously on the
=, where boats and barges have lain
~, and idle for 80 many months. The
.-ais- cloud of smoke Is with us again,
|-,,lOping everything and the big Nor
.,,Jy horses, with heavy harness,
- pOndrous carts and wagons thai
"a tons, have come back to the streets
'.,Ius once moro toilins up aud down the
n. Imagine there is more heavy cast
|, done in Pittsburgh than in any city Of
I, country, and the absence from the
1,..,ni the enormous and peculiar vehi-
: psed 10 transport castings and the
i ~, ron and steel products 20 and from
/ 4, -lls and railway stations WAS one OF
I, most noticeable feAtares OF the sum-
Z, Spness. In fact, business is boom
= .,.in in all departments The manu-
srrsrS. OF course, are delighted-it is
s:Dsred, indeed, that they would not
4 :. abeld OUT much longer-but, how
T., hat nav be, they are immensely
s,,pJ that the end has come and say that
k,1m is only commencing, and that the
,s,,ss and production OF the fall and
5,r,sr will be unprecedented.
The Outlook.
o-sozper with whom / have talked is,
wyer, disposed to be more cautious,
II while he is sanguine that business
gbe steady and firm, is not Of the opin-
,assit will be unus ually large. The
,toD. he considers, will not be sudden
Z excessive. Customers during the sum-
/, have not oppressed the manufacturers
A orders demanding to be Immediately
a knowing they could not fill them, but
L. held of in hopes of settlement OF the
7ssnt trouble and have not gone else
ksre The consideration thus shown
y5urgh producers was natural, for the
-psthy Of the purchaser was with the
kruiacturer's side; the one was as much
,,sstsd as the other in the refusal to
kI he advanced scale demanded by the
=. At the same time, by demanding
1 I contracts be entered into Immediately
,ot At all, the purchasers might have
eaEsned the position Of the mill men
added considerable strength to the
rkmen's side of the issue. In several in
sSs manufacturers have been told by
soners that they would wait until
An Agreement Was Reached
rier to make their contracts here il pos
e and consequently orders as yet are
bang in but slowly, because buyers have
bad time to determine whether the
sent basis is firmly established. Still, l
lk there can be ne doubt that the next
nh will see every mill running to its
sily. The glass houses, on the south
I are also in a most prosperous condl-
{, Eith bright outlook for the entire
,;er. | am told that prices, too, are bet
Ra both iron and glass than they were
syring.
hs to 6e hoped that the business OF this
mig season will i'm all branches be
aiy and sure, for with such . policy
fOng the large mill-Owners and producers
aageTial advance will have been made
neIi spring in the important interests
p, while imitation and extravaganza, so
ely and frequently the ruling idea in
Dh" times, will only check the ineyita-
advance Of Pittsburgh, already the
fie for the development of our State re.
lrss and industries, to the position OF
Eeat manufacturing city Of the world.
