peace and pleasantness prevailed; there
was no tendency to crow and very little to
chuckle; but there was very pronounced
equanimity and an expressed desire to
morrow a jubilee. President Jarrett was
too busy to other than smile his sstisfsc-

and gave voice 10 his Joy by executing,
with mastery kill, the Long Metre Dox-
ology on new organ, which was placed in
HEADQUARTERS to be rallied off for the bene-

agreed that they were thoroughly we'll

Secretary Martin was asked as to changes
in the scales. He said: There is some DIFF
ference between the published scales of last
year and those adopted last evening, but
only, in formally embodying tewitems that
had been paid throughout the year but were

Regarding
The Cincinnati situation
the Secretary said he had no dispatches
from that city confrmatory or non-con-
I
kilograms to the Pittsburgh papers; but he
was of the opinion that as the difficulties
there had eliminated previous to reCeiy-
ing the news of the scale signing in this
city, mstters would be simplified this
morning or receipt of official information
from headquarters.
The mills in the Pittsburgh district and

The Business Outlook

a repetition of the black days following
the
Panic OF 1873,
so far as railway demand was concerned.
There were causes, too, meteorological and
otherwise, but principally want OF conf.
denCe, which hurt the market outside OF
railway demand. There was close on
nothing doing in iron and no prospect OF

able time. Ii was the worst year for
striking the Amalgamated Association and
the miners ever experienced, as was fully
demonstrated in the Pittsburgh district.
But this year the situation is radically
different. Railway construction goes on
if not with a rush certainly with suostan-
tial deliberation, and orders from private
consumers come in fair volume with
Better Prospects Ahead.
The demand for structural iron for bridges,

The strike OF the wire drawers at divers
