The consolidation of the Scranton Steel

Company. bOtn Of Scranton has bes IN effected
after a great many bitches in the negotiations.
BY the consolidation the number Of works
producing Bessemer steel rails IS reduced TO
six FIVE of which are II Pennsylvania and one

negies, at Pittsburg. the Cambria Iron Com
pany. Of Johnstown. the Bethlehem Iron
Company, at Bethlehem the Pennsylvania

wanna Coal and Iron Company. at Scranton
The Illinois Steel Works are at Chicago
These giants turned out in 1883 l,624.50j net
tons of steel rails.
The Cambria Company IS at present expert
menting with a new process Of making steel.
and II the experiments are satisfactory the
process may rival the famous Bes-emcr method
in cheapuess. Last year there We're 4 l-3. j3j
tons Of steel ingots manufactured in this
country. about 20 per cent. Of which was
made by the Bessemer process. The open
hearth and several other processes made up
the other 10 per cent The new method Is
called the Adams process aud the product is
said t. be Of higher grade than the BESSIE

quantities can be produced. BY the Adams
