GLASS COSTS MONEY.
The Lack of Sod. ASH. Raises Price. About
100 Per Cent,

The Lack of Soda Ash Raises Prices About
o Per Cent,
Trouble is brewing among the glass
manufacturers Of the country, and unless
speedy relief arrives their number will be
considerably diminished. Soda ash, or rather
its absence. is the cause Of the trouble,
and Notwithstanding that the demand for
glassware is as great as ever, a number Of
manufacturers will be compelled to shut
down their mills. The supply of soda ash
is practically shut of by the strike
among the dock laborers at Liverpool.
More than so per cent. of the soda
ash used in this country is derived from
Liverpool. and Of q large portion Of the
supply is used for other purposes, the
glass manufacturers find it hard to NEE.
their orders. Representatives of eastern
glass houses are doing little except swap
ping yarns. The fact that glass has risen
over 100 per cent. within the last month
has had a depressing effect upon them,
and the sole topic of conversation is,
when is this advance going to stop"
Il am not soliciting orders for glass, ="
said a salesman. Our firm makes window
glass and lamp %shimneys, and at the pres
ent price Of ash there is only a loss in
making them. It would pay us better to
sell the small amount Of ash we have in
stock and shut down for a WHILE"
In this connection it is an open secret
that the Pittsburg firm has been buying
up all the visible supply Of soda ash in the
country.
But the supply is not to be bought. y

Spencer, Bartlett & Co.'S. glass depart
ment. I am informed that every glass
manufacturer in the country has practic-
ally ceased making cheap goods, pending a
reduction in the price Of soda ash. In a
week or ten days you will find that half the
glass factories in the country will be shut
down. 1 understand that one manufac-
turer who uses a car load Of ash every
three days, has not ten days supply on

Story Of tho Mi~sfortunes of a United state,
MAn.Of. War.

story Of tho MtsfOrtunex of q United States
Man-0f- War.
The United States man-of-w war Iroouols
has arrived at San Francisco from Port
Townsend. Prior to sailing from that
port six months ago the vessel was for a
long time at Mare island and the govern.
ment spent 800, 200 in repairs. The
lroquois arrived ut Honolulu on Oct. 10,
having taken twenty eight days In making
the trip, which the Australian makes in
seven. Nov. 16 she was ordered to Samoa
and was to call ut Marshall islands on the
way down. On Dec. %, when sixteen
miles north of the line, the piston rod of
the engine broke and the Iroquois lay
helpless and dependent upon her sails.
Makingher way with difficulty out Of this
hazardous locality, orders were given
to sail to the west with the expectation
of reaching the coast trades and then
sailing for Honolulu, 1850 miles
away, in order to get her broken piston rod
repaired. The hope of getting into the
region OF favorable winds was disappointed.
The wind blew continually from the oppo.
site direction, and the Iroquois was driven
further to the north, until the intention of
making Honolulu had to be Abandoned,
aud San Francisco was headed for instead.
By the last of January the prospect of q
long and perilous trip was apparent to all
the officers and crew, and it became neces.
sary to economic in fuel and food. All
the water used On board was distilled, and
the short supply ofcoal had to be econo-
mized to the last grain. On Feb. Is the
crew was put on short ratious, and the Of
fioers would have been obliged to submit
to the same hardship but for their FORE
sight in providing themselves at San Fran
cisco with extra supplies. The ship ar
rived at the entrance of the straits March
l, and was towed to Port Townsend, where
she was pfovisioned and coaled, aud left
for the port of San Francisco o week ago.
