Many Indications of Il Betterment
Under the New Tariff.
Every indication points toward a pros
Porous season among pork packers. The
season was fairly opened Nov. 1. but the
warm and mi.d-like weather has been
drawback. With colder weather the lead
ing packers expect to do a large business.
Up to the present time hogs have been
somewhat scarce, but they are coming in
more freely now. on Thursday Of last
week Kinghan & Co. killed 1900 hogs, 1900
more than the usual number. About all
the men that can be used at present are
employed, but with a more plentiful sup
ply Of hogs and colder weather the force
VIII be increased. The Moore packing
company is killing twice as many hogs
this year as last. This establishment is
a-so suffering from a lack Of hogs. and
should they become more Plentiful larger
force of men viii be employed. Coffin,
Fletcher & CO. report an eXce4-ent busi-
ness and a bright outlook for the future.
The establishment is running fuI time,
but there Is room for more men. As soon
as the weather gets colder and hogs be
come more plentiful the force Of men Will
be increased. indianapolis pork is finding
a ready market in the East. and packers
are feeling much encouraged. AT the
present time they are abe TO compete
with Chicago, Kansas City and other pork
packing centers.
The indianapolis foundry company is
enjoying a season Of prosperity, and the
establishment has more work at present
than it can turn out. Recently number
Of extra men were employed, and at the
present time the working force is twice
as large as it was at this time las year
The shop is full and more men could be
used if there was room for them.
The indianapolis cabinet company, after
an idleness of some time, resumed opera
tons a short time ago and number of
men are now employed there. The presi-
dent Of the company did not care to make
a statement concerning the outlook, say
ing that II was yet uncertain. IL is be-
lieved, however, that the factory will run
from this on.
Thomas Madden, manufacturer Of
lounges, is having an unusually heavy
run. At present he has a large number
Of orders ahead and the capacity Of some
of the departments Of his large establish
ment are tested. He is unable 10 get men
enough TO turn out the work that accu-
mulates in the upholstering department
and is advertising for more help.
The property al the northeast corner Of
Washington and MissOTri-sts., known for
many years as the Big -Four saloon, was
purchased by Efroymson & Wolf on Sat
urday, and they viii shortly begin the
erection Of a new building on the site.
Prominent Knights Of Pythas say the
new castle hall will surely be built in the
spring. The structure VIII not be less
than seven stories high. and three addi-
tional stories may be added Persons are
already making applications for Offices and
storp-rOOms, and one man, who is inter
ested in roof garden, is trying To make
arrangements for placing one on the roof
of the building.
The hide and betting dealers of this
city say they are receiving many orders
for supplies. This. they say. Is sure
sign that business is improving and mills
and factories are starting up.
