PITTsBURG, Nov. 10.-In addition
to injury done to iron interests by
the probable election Of Cleveland
as president the vast glass industry
is also beginning to suffer. This
afternoon heavy contracts for two
glass factories on the South Side
were Cancelled in consequence ofthis
uneasiness. At one of these estab-
lishments seven orders were counter
manded. They aggregate not less
than $4,000 worth of glass, and
would have furnished the workmen
there with steady work for three
months. AT the other factories the
orders Cancelled were three in num-
Der, worth probably $4,000.
The consumers gave as a reason
that they believe that, with the
Democratic party in power, the
building prospects for the coming
season would be had and they con-
sequently would not want much
glass. The real reason beyond this
is that builders expect to get cheap
glass in consequence of further de.
preston and possible lower tariff
under the new administration.
