The scarcity of coke, or more strictly
speaking, the impossibility of getting it to
market, continues to handicap the iron
trade, and the trouble seems rather to be
on the increase. Three of the four furnaces
of the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company
have shut down because coke cannot
be obtained, and coal is too
expensive, and other furnaces may be COM
PEELED to follow suit. OF the sixty-eight BIZ
luminous furnaces out of blast at the pres
ent time, probably dozen or fifteen would
start up if fuel could be obtained. The
coke operators say they are able to supply
the demand, and throw the entire respon-
sibility upon the railroads, alleginga want
Of motive power in the shape of locomotives
and far too few cars.

The heavy demand for muck iron and
the continued advance in prices has caused
two or three of our city mills to fire up their
old boiling furnaces, and within the en-
suing two or three days about forty or forty
five puddlers will be at work. These, with
the muck roll men and helpers and third
hands, will make very respectable total.
and will aid materially in lettering the
condition of our people. Most of the muck
made will go to Pittsburg.

The Little Tycoon.

The Temple Theatre Opera Company
closed a rather successful engagement OF
three performances at the Opera House,
last evening, to another large, apprecla-
tive and well-pleased audience. THE
Little Tycoon" and the company pre-
senting it, both have made quite hit in
Wheeling, and should they return will be
welcomed heartily. The principal roles
were well filled by very clever artists,
and the choruses were unusually
strong. At the matinee yesterday
afternoon every lady attending
was presented with japanese parasol or
tan. The house was well filled and the
audience thoroughly enjoyed the opera
from beginning to end. The music is
bright, sparkling and catchy and not
since the days of Pinafore has comic opera
music taken so well in this city. All the
people in the company are young and
handsome, which is something quite un-
usual in an opera company.

The increase in the iron trade during
the year has been unprecedented. An es-
innate of the increase can be found in re
liable statistics on the condition of the
blast furnaces just compiled by Joseph D.
Weeks, Secretary ofthe Western Iron As
ISOLATION. On December l, 1885, there
were 80 bituminous furnaces in blast,
having a weekly capacity of 1890 tons.
On December l, 1885, there were 141 furn-
aces in blast, with a weekly capacity of
70, 1872 tons. Mr.. Weeks says:
"The actual make of pig iron in the first
six months of 1886 was 1857, 6S7 gross
tons. Double this would be ), 275, 374 tons,
but it is we'll known that the production
of the last part of 1886 was in excess of
that of the first six months.
The total production of 1885 in gross
tons with estimated production of 1886 is
at follows:

As there has been curiosity in some
quarters to ascertain the tate of the reso-
luton adopted by the Chamber Of Com
merce, some months ago, directing. that
advertisements setting forth the advantages
of Wheeling as manufacturing centre, be
inserted for term Of three months in
number of leading trade papers, l will
state that the matter has not been lost
sight of, but has been laid aside for the
time being, because of lack of funds to
carry out the plan. The Committee hav-
ing the matter in charge will require two
or three hundred dollars, and as that sum
was not in the treasury of the Chamber,
it was deemed hest to wait
until after the first of JAN
uary, when funds would be forth
coming. The gentlemen of the committee
have discussed informally the advisability
of going in a body to Philadelphia and
Baltimore, and possibly other Eastern
cities, and making detailed statement to
the press of the advantages of our city,
and at the same time, possibly, talk to
manufacturers who might be celebrating
upon the subject of removing to the natur-
al gas territory. The matter is in the
hands of gentlemen who can be depended
upon to carry out the wishes of the
Chamber.
