dreds Of these foreigners are waiting
about to get positions. They are purcn-
ed all about the furnsee and they line
the banks near the mill.
Every arrangement is made TO start
I the mines Of the Elm Grove Coal Com
PAW tomorrow morning. Two hun
dred miners will be employed, where
before but half this number was en-

| force is on, aud no more OF the plant
will resume this year. The new addi-
ton TO the Office will Don be ready for
| occupancy.
The coal trade with the Mononga
Company is on the increase. The COM
rany in this city is building an addition
| to its stables at Twenty-frSt and Water
streets. More teams will soon be pat
TO work.
The plant Of George K. McMechen &
Son Is busy. They cannot fill the large
orders received as rapidly IS desired.
Employees are making overtime, and
large consignments OF goods are being
shipped.
The La Belle mill is not running in
all departments. Eight furnaces ere
on in the forge department in the man
Ufacture Of sSelp iron, and the large
nail factory and part Of the tack fac
tory are in operation.
The Wheeling Boiler works are hav'
ing a better trade, collections are
much ireer, and the outlook is more en-
~couraging. The work Of placing the
machinery at Louis NeibergalPs new
leo plant is completed.
One hundred men, operating about
one-hali Of the Whitaker mill, are
given employment. Mill No. 5 will be
started tomorrow, giving employment
to about fifty persons more. all other
departments are being gotten ready for
a resumption.
The puddlers at the Lower Benwood
mill are again on in full. All depart
ments of the mill are on again except
the steel works, which will be ready for
operation In 3 little over week. About
this plant now over 500 persons are
given employment.
Everything at the Belmont blast fur
mace is is ready for operation. No or
ders have yet been given to start. NO
part OF the plant is now in operation.
A large boiler from the Top mill is being
placed in position for a smoke stack.
All the Etna-Standard mill is now
going except the big plate mills in the
Standard division. More OF the mill is
going now than for months, as about
fourteen hundred persons are given en-
ployment. Mills 3, 4 and 5 OF the Ht-
ma division resumed a few days ago.
The Cox boiler works are busy. The
contract for a large tank for A. Schenk
& Sons has been received. A force OF
workmen is at work on the fine new
city fence cut CaldwelpS Run. Mr.. Cox
stated that trade is much better, and
that additional workmen would be put
on in u few days.
The Riverside nail factory closed
down two years ago and not a wheel
has been turned since. In the two fac
tories $500, 600 capital is laying idle.
II the plant were on 125 kegs or nails
would be turned out daily, as the fac
tory is the largest in the world. When
the mill closed the rate was 1.65, now
10 is SIS. This indicates that there is
little hope OF the trade being revived.
Trade in general among the factories
shows little Improvement. When ques-
toned as TO the outlook most manu-
f~acturers state that they anticipate
business to remain about the same dur
ing tina year. A general increase in
trade in all the factories Of the country
is looked for ia the early spring. IL
looks now as II the large concerns are
having more assumptions than the
smaller ones.
Workmen in the city do not know
why il is that when the street car COM
Dany wants additional employees, they
90 TO Pittsburg and other cities for
them. A gentleman stated that three
P~ittsburEers came here q few days ago
and got work on the line in less than
half A DAY. They reason it, that If the
comDan does not want the old en-
ploves, there ere hundreds Of Wheeling
men that would gladly accept the po-
sition.
Wheeling capitalists are agitatins the
project of attempting to buy factory
III" and placing it in operation. Some
canvassiug for stock has been done with
encouraging results. Others think it
more advisable to secure o site, and
erect a now factory on IL. They claim
this can be- done for SITS, coo, where
probably either OF the factories Of the
U. :. Glass Company in this city would
cost 5000, 900. Ali the glass men Of the
city are very eager that something be
