cpiency of our spring weather the demand for fuel
for house purposes has fallen of SOFAS it is need
ed now solely for cooking, not house-heating Sales
for steam holding up, as the low prices now
ruling steam Goals tend to increase the demand
The very light arrivals ;of Australian so far this
wear have served to maintain values and the wards
are almost bare of the leading grades of Colonial
Coal. For gas steam have other charac
tiers of Coal to substitute for Australian hence any
attempt to make a fancy valuation for Walsend or
Greta would prove futile. This week there have not
been as free offerings of Swansea cargoes as for sew

Sharon, Pa, is on the verge OF an indus
trial boom and before many weeks nearly
every industry In the city will be in active
operation. The Ascbman Steel Company's
plant which has been idle for nine months,
will be reDodeled and Its capacity increased
1t will resume operations early In April.
The Sharon steel Casting Company's plant,
one of the big steel syndicate, will 20 into full
operation about March ]. Preparations for
for resumption are now under way at both In
dnstries. The sharon Steel Casting Com.
pany's plant employs 400 men and the Asch.
man plant $50 men.
The strike OF the Banlsviile, Pa, cca' mir
crs is at an end. An effort was made week
ago on Saturday to secure an advance In the
price OF digging, and a demand was made fol
10 cents ton. This was promptly refused By
the Saw Mil Run Coal Company, and Hartley
4 Marshall, whose mines at Banksviile en-
ploy about 600 men. The strikers tried to In
duce the men at other mines 10 Join the move
ment for an increase In pay, but failed. They
unanimously decided to return TO work at the
old rate, 55 cents ton.
For the first time In about four months all
the departments Of the Homestead Steel work,
are In operation. This Is a rare occurrence,

William Garrett, OF Joliet, having
asserted in recent lecture that wire
nails are so cheap that If a carpenter
drops one II is cheaper for him 10 use
another than 10 stop and pick it up, the
Iron Age tests his assertion by figures
The carpenters time being worth 80
cents an hour, the dropped nail would
cost him 0.0S3 of cent If he took ten
seconds picking it up. SlXpenny nails
cost 1.55 cents per pound of 300 there
fore each nail costs 0.0077 AT this
rate the carpenter could better afford
10 let the nail lie than to spend even
one second recovering ii. All of which
is interesting as study in comparative
cheapncss. but not of any particular
economic purport-unless, indeed, 1t
should occur 10 some thrifty employer
of labor that If carpenters pay Is so
high that they can better afford to
waste nails than waste time he Will re.
duce the pay.
