BELLAIRE WORKSHOPS.


Eellaire industries seem to hold
their own with like industries of other
places, indeed. some are in much bet
ter condition.
The Bellaire Carriage Company is
q new industry, started about a year
ago by two young men, one a wagon
maker and the other a blacksmith.
tt is situated on Guernsey street. and
they have good business already.
working five and six hands during the
season, and sometimes have to work
part of the night. They have orders
ahead for work which promises them
brisk business for weeks.
Another new industry is the Seal
Glass Mandolin Company 1t has not
been IN operation one year yet 1t
has a good demand for its product and
has orders ahead. caused principally
by delay IN getting some of their ma
terlalS. Five hands find employment.
Stewart & Ward report good bust
ness In their line. They run their
Touring mill eleven hours a day. turn
ing out seventy-five barrels OF flour.
Mr. Ward remarked that he had
scarcely time to eat and sleep in the
las. eight weeks.
The Scotch Preserving Company is
another comparatively new company
operating i'm Bellaire. and managed by
b. Roemer. The specialties of this
company are buffers, jams. preserves.
jeiheS and CatsupS. They are employ
ing 10 TO 20 hands at present, and
making buffers and catsups. They
have To-
ahead The demand is very much bet
ter than three or four weeks ago.
The Benaire bottle works nave $50
men and boys usually. with a pay roll
of about 81, 900 per week. AT this time
they are not making fun time, as trade
is dull. They have fair orders on
hand. and are running about four-dfths
of their capacity Business is 100 per
cent. better than one year ago.
BOdefer Bros have had considerable
bad luck the past few years, but are
lighting the odds. and are gradually
gaining lost ground, lost through fire
mostly. They are not having big de
mand. but have a good outlook. I'm q
short time they expect to be running
full for the spring trade.
The Touring mills of r.. Ault q Son is
running steadily eleven hours day
and employing force of six men.
They expect "a steady run this spring.
This week the mill viii be idle. 10 put
I'm new boiler, having run double turn
last week to stock up.
The Beuaire Stove Company is work
ing three days a week with twenty-five
men. out of a capacity of thirty-tWo
men. They report trade as good as
with any other like industry along the
Ohio river. Trade is about the same as
a year ago. that parties who formerly
ordered stoves 10y the carload now or
der i'm lots of three and four.
The Puluey Glass Company reports
trade fair. with orders accumulated 10
rum them about sixty days. Thi- lc-
TORY has been oil on account OF differ
ences with the workmen, but went TO
work Thursday last. This being new
concern. shows very fair business for
this season.
The timers and rO0fers think there
viii be considerable business this
spring. one i'm particular has three
contracts already and several more in
view. making 1t reasonably certain
that there viii be some activity in
building and repairing.

MARCH FORECASTS.

Here is what Prof. Hicks has figured
ont for us for the month of March.
Please govern yourself accordingly:
March viii open with fair, cold
weather in the western parts, while the
storms starting the last Of February
will be disappearing to the east. The
storm period beginning about the 4th,
will feel the combined force OF the
Moon. Vulcan. Mercury, Venus, Earth
and Jupiter, and this period viii, no
doubt, merge into the reactlonary
storms due about the 18th and 18th,
making a prolonged period Of general
disturbances. Rain stor as amounting
70 floods in many localities will result.
rand change to colder will follow the
Storm. turning the rain to sleet \
sweeping blizzard in ali northerly re
qions need not cause surprise, winding
M with very cold wave.

that the business in hand was urgent
and needful spurred the members on
to greater efforts. The session of the
West Virginia Legislature for 1895 has
done much 10 solidify Republican sue
