the usual autumn demand has had its effect

Most of the New England cotton mills, save
those at Dowell and smaller ones here and

Chicago correspondent of Bradstreets re-
ports hat owing 10 the extreme low prices,
the effect of the big crop Of wheat on the

The iron trade has developed no improve

the general industrial situation. There is
a slightly frmer feeling in anthracite coal
owing to the curtaiEng of production dur,

THE TANENRY BUSINESS
An Interview with Prominent Man on the
Subject.

An Interview with Prominent Man on the
Subject.
A REGISTER reporter called upon gen
,lemsr thoroughly posted on the Tannery
business yesterday for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning the truth in regard to the business.
For several weeks back it has been whisp-
cred around that Western Tsunery men had
declared open war on all small estsb-
ishments with view of compelling them
70 quit the business. Their mode
OF operation is very simple being nothing
more or iess than straight cut in prices,
reducing it to be such figure that a small
establishment cannot begin to sell at the
figure without losirg money. The gentle
nan on bsing told what was in circulation
and his opinion asked, said: This IS vir-
tually trus. The large manufacturers have
reduced the price of tanned goods TO such
figure that no firm can seil the leather at
The fgurs and replace it again for one
fourth nsre than they se}d for, pence II
this igUse is held BY the large manu-
facture any length OF time,
large majority of the smaller
manufacturers viii have to close up their
business and quit, for if they do not, they
will eventually lose all b5 breaking up.
Now. Hoffman Sons taanery is not going
into this wild whirlpool simply because this
firm has sufficient capital to keep them run
ming wahout selling piece OF leather IN
the next twelve months and when the
prices 10 get back 10 the old standard, they
will make enough money during the hrSt
six msnths of the market to pay them well
for their holding out of the contest

kind of warfare is going on In other

THE WATER WELL.
How the Work is Progressing on This New
Venture.

nou INC ~ EEoBEobbluk ON knls new
Venture.
At the water works everything is working
along rapidly. Mr.. P. o. Brien, the con-
tractor for the erection of the building over
the water well, is hard at work on his job,
and expects to have it completed, including
the painting. in two week This building
is "a feet in diameter in the clear, and is
octagon in shape, setting Immediately over
the large well, which holds the new
engine. The well is "a feet deep
and twenty-five feet in the clear. A heavy
trussel will extend from the east to west
side Of this building upon which will be
built railroad, which viii carry an endless
chain. This chain is intended to be used
in lowering and arranging the machinery
of the pumps should anything happen to
them at any time. A circular pair Of stairs
will run from the flooring Of this building
down to the bottom of this well, these stairs
will be fastened with iron brackets in the
brick wall of the well. The engines will be
put in the well as soon as the building
is completed, probably weeks will elspse
from this date until the engines are in place
and working properly.
The work on the first or smaller we'll
which is situated Immediately at the waters
edge, is now completed This well is IL
feet deep and measures Is feet in the clear.
From this we'll there are two pipes 30
inches in diameter, which extend out into
the river, one 81 feet and the other y feet.
The work of laying these pipes was very
difficult. Mr.. Riddle superintended the job
He secured two very large bsrges and
made the connection Of the pipes on the
barges, and then lowered the entire length
to the bed Of the river. At the end Of each
of these pipes is attached two twelve foot
sewers. When these pipes enter the small
well, there is stopcock attached to each
which can be manipulated when the river is
high. The idea of this is TO shu, the water
off from the pipes in the bed of the river
during high water, thereby saving us from
drinking the heavy sediment which always
floats in the river near the bottom
during high stage of water
pipes connected with this we'll which extends
only few feet from il and are about seven
feet above the low water mark Through
these pipes he expects to get clean water
