WOOD BROS.
Mr.. Wood, OF the firm Of Wood Bros
said:
"Our firm has been In existence only
two years and we naturally expected 70
do an increased business during the past
season, and may say that our expecta-
tions were fully realized. There appears
to be a growing tendency toward more
substantial buildings, and a regard ior

ton. This year was probably the best

tory very prosperous year has been en-
joyed, and the volume OF output oil
their justly famous goods shows

of hands during the fall season.
FLAccUs BROS.
Mr.. Flaccus, OF the firm OF Flaccus
Bros, said:
ut has been the best season we have
ever experienced since being Ia bust
ness. The volume Of trade was much
larger than the preceding year. Good
crops had the result OF cheapening the
price of farm commodities and increas-
ing the demand for preserved fruit and
vegetables. There is constantly grow
ing demand for the product OF our fac
tory. Our force OF hands has boon COM
PEELED to work overtime during the fal!
season to meet the demand. 70 is I'm
possible to say how the trade will be
next year, but we feel confident II Will

Year-RlVer Men satisfied.
INQUIRY by REGISTER reporters among
the representatives OF the various rail-
road companies doing business with
Wheeling, elected the information that
business during 1891, both passenger
and freight, had been most satisfactory,
showing as II did q substantial increase
over the previous year. OF course, ac-
tual figures could not be given upon
the last day Of the year, Tor
railroad statistics are not only OF
, very complicated nature, but have to go
through a long line OF officials and be
subject to many manipulations before
they can be set down in black and white
for the peruSal Of the public; out
enough was learned TO warrant the as
sertion that when the totals for the year
1891 are finally footed up, the exhibit
will be fully as satisfactory as any
twelve months In the railroad history of
Wheeling. No read entering this city
IS exempt from this condition. The
Ohio River Road, the 'Pewiky," the
h. so. in all its branches, the G., l.. &
w. the G. & p, the Terminal Company
and the wheeling and Elm Grove, have
alike been benefited, and they all start
the new year with bright prospects for
a still better business In the ensuing
twelve months.
While river transportation has notbeen
as large in the aggregate, as In 1880, IL
has has still been satisfactory to steam
boatmen. The year 1890 was phenom-
email one on the river, there being good
stage Of water all through that year,
and the boats ran until they got Urea
OF turning their wheels. The past year
was distinguished by long period OF
low water, necesSitating the boats lylng
idle but business all through both the
snrinu and fall was good, the open win
tsrs making up largely for the summer
drought, and the boats ran steadily and
did a good trade.

for a much larger business during the

would seem to indicate that we will not
be disappointed.
THE WEST VIRGINIA.
The manager of the West Virginia
China Company was found in q hopeful
mood, and mapping out conquests for
the new year. ''0f course little is do
ing as yet, as this establishment has
only been running under the new regi-
men about two weeks. We have placed
no runners on the road as yet, and
haven't even got our samples made yet.
We have now about fifty employees at
work, and expect 10 be in good running

MANUFACTURING.
THE IRON AND NAIL TRADE.

What Representative Gentleraen In Those
Lines Tell the "Register."
The condition of the iron manufact-
uring business, taking summary OF
all its branches, outside the nail trade,
NAV be described as only fairly satlsfac-
tory. The industries are not BOOM
ing; neither is trade dull, nor the
furnace fires out. Some lines have
not been as active as those interested
could wish, while others have done
well.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1892-01-01

There are many other substantial in
dicatlons OF the general prosperity OF
our city. Among them are the opening
OF the union depot Of the Terminal Rail-
road Company, the opening OF the two
new bridges spanning the Ohio, the ex-
tension OF the electric railroad to the
Ohio side, the surveys for the Wheeling
and COnnellsville railroad, and other
improvements, only less in Importance,
with which the public is Thoroughly IA
miliar through the columns Of the
REGISTER. Millions Of dollars are
involved in these enterprises, and
other millions will follow them
in developing our manufactures,
building up our city, and enlarg-
ing our means of communication with
the surrounding country.
The old town grows and prospeIs.

Int rnal Revenue Collection.

Another indication Of the growth OF
business Is in the internal revenue re-
ceipts at the Office IN this city. While
the exact figures were not available
YESTERDAY, as is nearly always the case
with statistics of this sort, II Is known
that the total Of cash paid over the
counter is ahead Of the gross receipts
IN 1890. This indicates that the cigar,
tobacco, beer and liquor branches OF
trade are In a flourishing condition.

The Best Year In the History OF the
Business.
Mr.. Walker Peterson. OF the firm OF
Cald well e. Peterson, said:
"The present year has been the best
in the history OF our business. The ag-
gregate amount OF work turned out was
much larger than 80 or any previous
year. Our trade has so increased that
we found II necessary TO enlarge our
facilities, by the addition OF a second
story. We will put handsome new
pattern OF metal ceiling on the market
as soon as the Improvements. which are
now under way, are completed. Pros
poets for the coming year could not be
brighter"
W. A. LIST.
Mr.. w. A. List, OF the firm OF w. A.
List & Co., said:
Last year was a very fair business

find this years sales to be just about
equal 70 those OF last, while collections
are, perhaps, q little better. Prospects

THE PLANNING MILLS.

They Have Had n Big Years Busi-
ness.
If any branch Of manufacturing has
prospered In Wheeling, this year, 1t has
been the planning mills. The amount OF
lumber passing through their hands
was enormous, as must have been the
case with the UNUSUAL amount OF build
ing done during the year. The outlook
for 1892 Is excellent.

The MIlls.
THE ''roP" MILL.

seThe nail business has been dull for
some little time" said Mr.. Ii. II. Horn
brook, of the Wheeling Iron and Nail
Company. ''You know We were shut
down for quite awhile this year, al
though the sheet department. was laid
of but short time. or course, little
can be said of the business of the past
wear, compared with preceding years.
No sales have been made lately, as all
our orders were taken In the fall. Pitts
burg is in much the same predicsment
as Wheeling, as regards the nail busi-
ness. The market just now is largely
in the East, with few sales in the West,
and none to speak OF in the South. As
10 the prospect for the coming year,
mpch depends on the railroads. OF late
thew have been holding off, but when
they comwnnce to buy literally, then
comes general activity in the iron
trade"

THE TRADE IN IRON.

Mr.. Jacob Snyder said;
81 am just settling all the accounts
against me, as never owe a dollar in
the world on January 1st. The bulk OF
goods sold during the past year was
probably somewhat greater than during
90, but prices were not so good, so the
gross receipts we're about the same for
the two years. Collections have been
good, indicating healthy condition Of
business. regard the prospects for
'91 as very hopeful"
Mr.. w. ]. Burtt said:s
1.-THE volume OF business done during
'e1 was up to the average but the prices
were somewhat lower, affecting the az
Vregate receipts. Business was salts
factory, and the prospects for next year
are encouraging"

1--WE naturally expected TO do a larger
business during the past year than In
1890. owing 10 the disastrous strike OF
the latter year, which badly crippled
the building interests. l am unable as
ret TO estimate the percentage OF In
crease this year, but II viii be quite
large, and may safely say the past year
was the best In the history OF the build
ing trades In this city. We already
have a number of large contracts for
next season, and regard the prospects
as very promising"

"Ninety-one was the best year for
building in the history OF the city, and
all the trades were employed steadily.
There was q noticeable tendency toward
more substantial buildings and prettier
homes, indicating solid growth for the
city. Unless there are labor disturb
ances during the coming year. which at
present appears to be improbable, / ex-
pect building season equal to II not
better than that just closed. A great
many contracts have already been placed
for next year, and If the weather per-
mits the season viii open early"
