THE LIGHT GAUGE NAIL

They are Being Cut without Kick.
Rumored Nallsrs' Nleoting Denied.
There has been a fairly well defined
rumor aloat for the past few days to the
effect that a meeting Of nailers had been
held, at which the question Of cutting
the light gauge nail was discussed, and
that tho decision arrived at was to cut
1t, without demanding an ad-
vance, whenever II was offered to them
by the manufacturers. A determined
effort to verify this rumor was not, how.
ever, successful. No less than twenty
OF the most prominent nailers in town
wcro seen, but they all denied any
knowledge OF any such meeting. 1t was
learned, however, that the light gauge
nail is being cut In nearly all the mills,
but only as the trade demands them, and
while the nailers may not have had n
meeting and formally decided TO cut
these nails, there appears to have been
q mutual understanding arrived at, that
such a course was the best one to pursue.
The Belmont has thus far sold about
$500 keys Of the light guage nail. At
the LaBelle they are making whatever
kind Of nail the trade wants, and they
find that the orders for sizes different
from the standard, are more frequently
for heavier than lightguage. The
Laughlin and Bellaire factories are also
reported 10 be making whatever the buy
ers want.

Neither Carolin nor Packenham spoke a
