ENORMOUS FORTUNES.

Pittsburg District.

Pittsburg District.
PITrsBURG, December @s.-Nicholas
Dale has prepared statement OF the
output of iron and steel in Pittsburg
and vicinity for this year, which he de-
clareS cannot be truthfully denied. His
statement shows that the finished out
put OF iron and steel for the year 1890
has never been surpassed in the history
of the trade. The main drawback was
the scarcity OF gas, there being little
time lost with labor troubles, and very
little delay for repairs.
The scarcity of gas restricted the out
put of puddled iron at least 80, 200 tons,
and the finished product at least 100, 900
tons, but nevertheless the amount OF
muck iron is considerably more than in
| 1889.
