For detailed statement OF the number
and capacity Of the nail mills OF the coun.
try, printed on smother page, the ISrELLt
oEScER Is indebted to The Bulletin o. aIt
american Iron and Slcel As,ociatiOn, whose ex.
bhibit is made from information furnished
by the manufacturers themselves.
The most noticeable feature Of the bust
ness Is the large increase in producing
power, due to the enlarged capacity Of old
mills and the erection oinew ones. In Au
g,st cf1SS9 there were in the United States
sixty.eisht nail mills having4 .267 machines
0nthe first Of the present month-but Of
teen months later-the number Of mills is
found 10 be seventy-four, with 5.0OS ma
chimes. Three establishments have aban'
doned the nail business and nine new
mills have been built; net gain Oh SIX
mills and S4l machines, makipga present
annual capacity Of 1885, 900 kegs. AS we
understand very well in this neighborhood
tho product is kept within something like
reasonable bounds by suspension Of oper'
ttions. Still the price is not satisfactory to
manufacturers, and yet the work OF in
creasing producing power goes on.
The Bulletin has information OF FIVE new
works being built, likely to be completed
within the year, and these will add at leas!
200 machines. Then the old mills are to
put in SOL more machines. So that, il pres
ent plans be carried out, by the beginning
Of next year We shall have $500 machines
turning out nails-l, 432 machines more
than there we're in August, OF 1882. In
other words, an increase Of about 25 per
cent in producing capacity in sixteen
months. There is no such increase in the
consuming capacity OF the country. Seeing
that production was already ahead OF con,
sumption, this very large and rapid growth
cannot be regarded with satisfaction. The
new machines to be put in by January Is!
will add 100000 kegs to the capacity,
making a total of 19 $4,000 kega. In 1882,
the year OF greatest production, the mills
Of the country made 6,l41007 kegs.
Tie country grows in year, but Its
ratio Of increase is far behind that OF the
nail making capacity. Our manufacturers
may see brighter outlook, but II there be
any relation between supply and demand
the end OF the enforced policy Of suspen-
sions is not near at hand.
twill be seen from the BulttiHsrecapitu'
lation table that Pennsylvania maintains
her place at the head and Is doing most in
the way Of increase. West Virginia is a
good second in the matter OF increase; and
live count the new machines to be set up
in that part Of Ohio included within the
Wheeling nail district, the manufacturing
community Of which Wheeling is the cen.
tire will be seen to be holding itsplace with
firm hand. The growing Importance OF
the Western and Southern mills will also
be noted, for they are 10 play a part in the
nail business.

suggestIons TO People Who Want 10
Know, You Know, what Is the Correct
Thing.
Stw York Leiier.
II bride has sent you wedding cards
you should call upon her in her new rela'
ton. II she sent out no cards, you may
call, and leave her to decide whether she
cares to keep up the social interchange Of
visits by returning yours. Ityou do not
wish TO continue the acqusintance-that
is, to keep up formal yisiting-you can
drop 1t at this time as appropriately as at
any. Itis perfectly proper for a young
woman on assuming new Bocial obligations
as wife to revise her own visiting list and
take proper means to retain only those
names to which she may feel herself able
to do social justice.
An unmarried woman who has no older
sister unmarried has "Sliss" onA her cards,
without her initials or her first name.
On returning to your home after long
absence send your cards to those whom
you wish to have call upon You. II you in
tend to remain in the town where you are,
send out cards TO every one whom you
wish to know, mentioning the day and
hour ut which you will be at home to re.
ceiye them, and oflsr some light refresh.
ments, like tea and cake, at o'clock.
It is correct for widow to have her
Christian name on her visiting cards. A
card with acceptance" written or en-.
grayed upon It Ia vulgar. Write punctil-
ious note in the third person, accepting or
declining.
II card ia turned down in the corner it
means that the visitor called in person.
The man who is stranger to the woman
should leave card for her as well as the
man who had taken him to call. 1t Is
visit whether she is at home or not. Both
should leave cards. A girl about to be
married does not put P. P. O. on her cards
Write your regret or acceptance OF an in
vila!ion on sheet OF note paper and put II
in an envelope directed to the person who
invites you. Unless you are to send it by
post one envelope is enough. Do not write
regret or acceptance on your visiting.card;
that's vulgar.
It Is proper to send card to the bride il
you do not call in person, but 1t Ia better to
call, and especially must you call on her
mother, who invites you. The best form ier
acceptance is the simplest: "Mrs. Smith
has much pleasure in accepting the polite
invitation OF Mrs. Brown for Thursday, the
18TH" II Is not customary to send accept
ances OF invitations 10 weddings unless the
card contains the request 10 respond
Where from 200 10 500 or more cards are
sent out the formal response to each one
would be nuisance. The proper acknowl-
edgement is a gift and congratulations II
presence on the occasion Is impossible. OF
course, il 1t Is a small at-home wedding,
where provision is made for a sit-down
dinner or supper, the case becomes some
what different, as only intimate friends sre
invited, and 1t is desirable to know approx.
imately the number that will be present.
