The Now England NnIl Trade.

The Boston Herald makes these state
monts on the subject OF nail manuiactur
ing In New England:
It is a serious question with the major
ity OF nail manufacturers III New England
to-day as to whether to put in a Bessemel
plant or 10 90 out OF the business. Go out
they must Il the attempt Is made to com
pete with ateel nails and with mNnutaC-
tures who have facilities for obtaining
the steel at the cost OF the raw material
and converting. We're the conditions Of
labor favorable the question would ut once
BIO answered in favor OF the Bessemer
plant. But the knights OF Labor arc be-
lieved to DO only watching a favorable OPP
portunity to make the attempt to put
the New England nail mill eniploye on
tho came scale Of wages with the Pitts
burgh workmen ut the same business.
This is condition which the New
England manufacturer finds can never
exist. There are all the advantages Of
iron at q minimum price and at little cost
OF freight, and formerly Of cheap coal, but
latterly the wonderful development Of
natural gas Is in favor Of the Pittsburgh
manufacturer, whereby the cost OF fuel or
heat is reduced to cents where dollars
were formerly counted and must at pres.
ent be counted against the New England
manufacturer. About the only feature
which counts in the favor OF the New Eng
land manufacturer is the near market 10
sell In, where nails can be landed at low
cost ofirelght which cost Of freight would
be against the Pittsburgh manufacturer,
Possibly cheap and good water power may
also be counted in the New England man
ufacturers' favor. Under such conditions
the New England Matchmaking industry
seems to tremble in balance, and q bal.
ance which the Knights Of Labor seem Ia
have the power to turn the wrong way.

The Tack and Lantern Factory.

and asked how business was with him,
He said tho factory was running about

that there Is little money In the business.
Manufacturers are selling soft steel tacks
as Norway iron, and, Of course, can under
sell those who use real Norway. The
factory here has done more the past sea.
