PlrTssuRc. April 2j-Ths removal OF he
Office of the western Nail Associatioa iron
this city to Wheeling was profound sur
prise to the Pittsburg manufacturers Il =
true that the matter had been discussed Il
some length before, but nothing tangible haA
resulted from, the discussions. The Pitts.
burgers had an idea tha, the Wheeling die
,rict manufacturers had s repuEnancs to
some Of the workings Of Mr.. Weeks otice.
but they had no comprehension Of the ex.
tent of the disgruntlement until they oollided
With the grim fact M meeting. for
oace not held in Ftsburg. Il has
been said that Mr.. Weeks conduct Of his
Office formed no element Of the cause Of
removal. This Is untrue. II was generally
considered BY Wheeling manufacturer that
Mr.. Weeks arduods dut:ss Is editor Of the
Iron Age incapacitated him for the work Of
Secretary Of their Nail Association. The
market reports emsna,ing from the Pitts
burgh Office of the Age, a, no time have
had tendency TO strengthen the nall quo
tations. Mr.. Weeks 10 the osteusibls west-
ern head Of the Age. At any rate he
is the alleged responsible person
and il he suffered wrongfully for the debili-
tation of the nail market he is only another
exemplifer OF the doctrine Of vicArious
s,onement. One thing is certain Mr..
Weeks
Removal Was tho Direct Result
OF his editorial connection with the lroa
Age.
], is also true that there was great dis
satisfaction with the course OF PittsburG
iron manufacturers In the matter Of scale
signing. Atno time were the neceoities
OF nail manufacturers Q consideration with
the Pittsburg men when the annual signing
tine came around. Pudding and roll.
ing were the denderAta with them and
once their status was determined other mat.
ters were left TO shin for themselves. This
Year the nail manufacturer will have most
largely to do with the United Eailers OF
America and no trouble Is anticipated.
II Is likely thst ss soon ~ the steel status
is defined nail manufacturing will come 10
the front in this city. Merchant and other
forms Of manufactured iron have hers,oiorc
proven more profitable than nails and on
Tho, account they have not given the nail
matter much attention. Chess, Cook d
Co. arc preparing TO build Q mill on the
B. 4 o. east OF Piitsburg, and other manu-.
facturers are looking fer sites Outside OF
bere at the same time adjacent to the city.
The river miners who secured IN ostsnsi-
bio VICTORY few days ago win litely eishe
have to accept reduction In few days OF
come out. All Of the railroad miners Are
.&t work at q cents, while the river men ars
Eetting 3 cents. River operators, through
The medium Of the very biz gh stage Of water
Of the last two or three weeks, have been
able to gil contracts down the river, aud
are becoming Indifferent about mining
coal at \ high rate Of wages. A break 10
locked for in o few days.

citation 10 being threatened by the weekly
secession Of the most important integral
factors The proceedings OF the Seals
Convention have not thus far besu divulged.
bnt Il is likely that they will transpre next
week, RS committee OF the AmAlEsua-
ton ia to meet the iron manufacturers In
This city 10 discuss the question OF prices
Tor the ensuing year. Il Is expected thst
the manufacturers will demand some very
material reductions. and II il also expected
TIA, he Amslgamation will .conceds some
Of the demands.
