towards the ceiling; coats were torn ;men
were upset and for half an hour merry

The Situation in Pennsylvania Presents
Enconrasine OutlooIs.


Encouraging Outlook
PITTsBERG. Dec 31.-A review of the
industrial situation shows an encourag-
ing outlook in this section for the com
ing year. There is heavy increase in
the number Of iron, steel and tin mills in
operation. Where one year ago less than
one-h half the window glass factories were
running, three-fourths are in operation
now With flint glass factories this is
also true The hopeful feature Of the
s.it1ation Is the steady increase IN the de-
mand for manufactured products.
With the exception Of their Beaver
Falls nail mill, all the Carnegie mills are
now running in full, or double turn.
The big window glass factories at
jeanette and New kensin gton are in
full operation day and night. A revival
Of railroad and railroad equipment
building is looked for for the first Of the
year. In the Connellsville region 1870
coke ovens are in operation and the
prospect is hopeful for busy year.
