There are very few nails in stock at

all departme nts, and the men are max
ing all the time possible.
All the nail mills are busily engaged
ship ing nails, and one official stated
that trade was very brisk.
The glass houses throughout the city
are all making good time. Trade is
very fair considering the time of the
year.
The carpenters and brick-layers
throughout the city are all busy on re-
pair work, and in few instances on
new buildings.
The Belmont blast furnacemen are
busily engaged OH repairs. The re-
porter was unable to ascertain just how
soon this establishment will start up.
The mill boys all complained about
the intense heat Ia st week. Many OF
them became so heated they seriously
thought of knocking off for Il lew days.
The new machine shops at the La
Belle mill will be completed by the 10th
of May, and the work ofplacing then
nail machines in the factory COM
| mCnced.
Speaking about the new buildings
now i'm course If erection, 4 reporter
was informed by several contractors
that there were not five houses under
| construction that would cost $1,000
apiece.
During stroll through the city yes
| terday the reporter could not help not
ing the number OF dwellings being re-
paired, in some instances the entire
| front being taken out and more mod
ern one substituted.
The Riverside bar mill will be started
up as soon as the cast iron shaft can
reach this city. This mill has large
number of orders on hand, and this will
naturally spur them up to get their mill
in running order as soon as possible.
The new gas works, under the able
| management of Col. Dillon is doing
fine work, everything is running
smoothly, and these works now COM
pare very favordbiy with any in the
| county. Col. Dillon keeps the cleaneSt
wards, and manages better any other
man heretofore holding the position.
Armstrong, COen Il Co.splaning mill
| is doing a very good business. One of
| t4!e firm stated yesterday trade was as
good as could be expected, and quite
number of gentlemen are making in
| Uuiries as TO the cost of building, with
| a view tn erecting new houses this sea-
son. This naturally makes them feel
| much better in regard to the coming
| trade this season, for it never has failed
| heretofore when one or two parties be-
gan making inquiries about the. price
| of building but others become affected
| i'm similar manner, and the final re-
suit is that quite number of buildings
are erected.
The workingmen in this vicinity are
resting very easily about the demands
| made by the manufacturers. lfall the
workingmen in the United States were
made ofas good material as those in this
vicinity, the manufacturers would gain
very few victories, for the men are all
firm, and will stick close on a struggle
between capital and labor, and from
present appearances it looks as if We are
on the eve of big struggle which will
lead any that has heretofore taken place
| in iron circles. The men are of the
opinion it is better to loaf, asking for
their rights, than to work few weeks
out of that many months at a reduction.
