THOUSANDS AT WORK.
The Majority of Iron Mills in the Country
IN Operation.

All the disputes between the iron masters
and their Amalgamated workmen are now
practically settled. AS a result the majority
of rolling mills and their auxiliaries
throughout the country are in operation
But few manufacturers have signed the
steel scale and most Of these mills are Still
idle. Owing to the different machinery
used and the variety Of the product each
steel mill requires separate scale. Some
Of these are being prepared now and IN d
week or ten days il is expected that greaf
number of plants will resume work.
There are about 475 rolling mills and steel
works, 80 forges and bloomeries, 80 wire
nail works and 65 cut nail factories in the
United States. These give employment to
upward of sOOG workmen, and the annual
capacity in iron and steel is not far short of
2lO00, 600 TONS These plants are distributes
among - different States, the largest num-
ber 2il being located in Pennsylvania. Out

time about the same number are nom
union and 90 are controlled by independent
labor organizations, while the balance, 26s,
are under the control of the Amagamatee
ASS 1ciation.
out of these 26S mills at least l50 are in
operation. The number of workmen en-
ployed in these l50 mills Is placed at about
1900, and the annual capacity in round
numbers is rated at s35S, 300 net tons of
finished material, embracing merchant iron
and steel, special shapes, ingots, etc. About
$4,000 workmen are given steady employ
ment when all the mills are In
operation, but at the present
time only about 10000 workmen are en-
gagged. beduciing s,Ss5,300 net tons from
20, l2s, i94 net tons, the annual capacity of
all the mills, there will be a balance of H.
070, 1874 net tons which the country would
lose If the works that are now idle would
lose If the works that are now idle would
continue so. By dividing these figures into

BETTER CROP PROSPECTS.
the Outlook so Good That a Marked
Improvement Is Noted in Almost All
Lines of Business.

r. G. Dun e. Co.'S weekly review of trade
says: Later advices from the West promise
rather better crops Of wheat and corn, and
cotton prospects are little better, though
neither yield will approach that of last year,
With abundant supplies brought over, the
outlook is so good that business distinctly
improves, and the prospect for fall trade is
ever where considered bright. The great
strikes in New York, Pennsylvania and
Tennessee appear to have scarcely an ap
preciable effect upon business, and though
interruption of traffic is threatened on
many important railroads, stocks are gener.
ally ,teady or strong, closing but small
fraction lower than a week ago. More gold
has gone abroad but money is abundant
and easy, and collections in almost.all quar-
tiers are more satisfactory than usual.
Wheat has been weaker and declined Of
a cent with western receipts exceeding
500 600 in four days, while Atlantic exports
were not l,500,0OO bushels, and sales here
only l6, ,O00. 900 bushels. Reports of harvest
ingin spring wheat regions are more en-
coura Iing Corn has advanced cent on
sales of only 100000 bushels. mainly be-
cause of possible interruption Of traffic, for
western reports are definitely more promis-
ing, especially to Kansas and Illinois. Oats
have declined only quarter, but lard is a
shade stronger
At Baltimore receipts Of fruit and vege.
tables are not equal To demands of packers
and manufacturers Of clothing are busy.
Iron mills at Pittsburg will soon resume,
but at present shipments of coke are the
smallest for some time, and business in
window glass is not active. At Cincinnati
trade is quiet, but prospects fine, and with
drawals of whiskey are unusually heavy.
Fair activity is seen ut Cleveland, with
healthy trade, and rolled iron products very
active and firm.
General trade at Chicago is better than in
any other year and collections better. At
Milwaukee collections are slow, but trade is
largely in excess Of last year.
