A Gloomy Outlook.

PIrTsBURG, Nov. 18.-The mills OF Oliver
Bros. & Phillips, reported as having closed
down last night, have suspended operations
in all departments except in the rolling mill,
and D. b. Oliver, one of the firm, stated this
evening that it was very probable that work
would be suspended in that department
very shortly if trade did not improve.
Among other mills said to be preparing to
close down about the 18th of next month arc
the extensive works of Emerson. Macerum
& Co., and the Union Iron mills. operated by
Carnegie Bros. q Co. 1t was rumored to-
night that the Bessemer steel works at Home
stead, Pa, had ordered fires out, but owing
to the lateness of the hour it was impossible
to get anything reliable from that place.
Interviews with numerous iron manu-
facturers developed the fact that trade is
passing through period of unusual de-
preston.
Secretary ]. D. Weeks anticipates dull
ness equal to the four years succeeding the
panic of 1873, while prices are lower than at
that time. Increased facilities for over
production is assigned as the principal cause
of the depression.
Secretary Martin, of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION, says that he is not alarmed at the
situation, and says that, while some mills
are compelled to close down, others will run
double turn.

THE ''raw beef" must have been ranker than
usual on Friday. Our esteemed contempory,
the Sentinel, devotes leading editorial of Sat
urday to a recent interview of Assistant Secre-
tary New on the Virginia Democratic MUIR
ders, and the probable effect on the political
situation. The article is in the Sentinel's best
style. We cannot refrain from reproducing the
appended gems:
"The babe of secession born again in spirit,
and this babe the dear little secession pOotsey
tootsey, that sees the revolution wagony
pagony, with its bright little eyse pyses going to
the devil jolly boty, carries comfort to bourbon
hearts on its dear little legsy peggy"
"And here's our thanks for such gifted cranks,
as see such visions and play such pranks, as Mr..
New and the favored few who stand in the ranks
near the hole in the planks and feed themselves
as the swill flows through"
These beautiful thoughts are the choicest pro-
auctions of gentleman who draws 81 200 a
year as clerk of the State Printing Board, and
who, for the sake of his souls salvation, could
not tell the difference between pearl and plea
