CooPERS' CHIPS.
The following bits of information from
among the coopers, are condensed from the
Northwestern Miller:
The Hennepn shop is down until the
Washburn mill starts up again.
Maj. Reeve, from New Orleans, telegrapbed
an offer to the burnt out North Star shop to
use stock and other help from the Hall g.
Daun Barrel Co.
The men at the Stevens shop gained their
point and returned to work. They are now
allowed cents per barrel regardless of the
way the hoops turned out. The complaint of
the men that the foreman was derelict in his
duties was doubtless just one.
The Doud shop got in a full weeks work
last week, and its sales were larger than for
some time. This was occasioned by the call
of the Saltwater mills for barrels, which was
quite large. The Doud shop at Saltwater
did not get into operation last week as was
anticipated, but will begin work some time
this week. 1t will employ about eighteen
coopers and seven machine hands, with John

MINNEAPOLIS BARREL PRODUCT
With the mills running extremely light,
the Mil neapolis cooper shops continue to do
very slow business. Those running the
strongest are not doing much more than TO
turn out two-thirds of their full quota of
barrels, ard the range is all the way down
from that to complete iGleness. There were
several shops in the latter state last week
The sales for that period showed a
gain, and the number made a
loss. Most all of the shops
have considerable quantities of barrels stored
and at times draw from these by shutting
down and at others add to them by running
The time is fast approaching when the mills
will have ample power, and with large guam
titles of wheat on hand it would seem reason
able to expect them to run quite heavily and
make good market for barrels again The
sales and manufacture of barrels for four
weeks are shown in the appended table:
