phaltum is as follows: 1t costs so cents
4 square yard more than Belgian block;
it costs from 81 to $3.50 more than

Better Oyster Prospects from the Direc-
tion of Chesapeake Bay But What tile
People Looked for is the Maurice Cove.
A Baltimore dispatch, referring to the
prospects of the oyster trade, says that
the severity Of last winter interfered
greatly with dredging at that time and
thereby saved for this season thousands
upon thousands oil bushels.
That is all very well as far as 1t goes,
but the Chesapeake is an oyster that
comes in later. The brand people are
looking for now is the Maurice river
cove. 1t is the prime oyster of this
locality, and the one that always APP
pears at the orening of the season. The
Chesapeake oyster is good brand, but
ii does not come up to the famous speci-
men hailing from the Jersey coast.

ooiANu Ahho <hhy ohAfos
STEuBENvILLB, O., Sept. 19.-It never
got out until yesterday that inside the,
Jefferson iron works two men have been
inventing for the last six months pro-
cess by which scrap steel can be heated
and rolled into any shape. Colonel A..
S. Harden and Thomas Wood are the
patentees of the composition used in
this new process, which will practically
revolutionize the steel business us far
as the scrap portion is concerned.
Thousand of dollars have been going
to waste in scrap steel, which could not
be placed in the converter and remelted
for rolling as it would be burned. Some
six months ago there were 500 or 800
tons of scrap steel at the jefferson iron
works which has been worked up and
made into steel sheets again by this
process.
