Demand is So Great That Pittsburg Plants
Are Refusing Orders.
Pittsburg's industrial boom has reached
such proportions that its enormous iron and
steel plants are unable to fully meet the de-
mand. The food of orders upon local billet
manufacturersis so great that buyers we're
forced to so to Philadelphia during the week
for supply. Local manufacturers decline
to take orders for immediate delivery and no
contracts are being taken for shipment be-
fore September Billet prices for contracts
are within fifty cents Of the figures Of three
mills. The rate on which the high wage
scale was based several years ago was 522.
II billets continue rising tin plate manufac-
turers will be forced to suspend, as it would
be impossible to pay such high prices and
meet foreign competition.

A NATIONAL BANK FAILS.

Liabilities, s143, 900; Cash on Hand, S10,-
oOO---West Superior Loses S65,00O.
A sensation was caused in connection with
the failure of the Superior National Bank at
West Superior. Wis. Alderman Brennan,
who had s17OO deposited in the bank, came
to the door Of the bank and demanded the
money. He pulled a revolver and threatened
TO blow out the brains of the officers. After
some trouble he was quieted down by friends.
The Superior National Bank went into the
hands of the National Bank Examiners. The
cause was the heavy withdrawa. OF deposits.
The assets are s275,Ooo and liabilities are
s14S, 800, with less than $4,000 in cash on
hand. The city is a heavy loser, having on
deposit there $65.O00. This Is the bank OF
which A. A. Cadwallader was President when
he embezzled s27, 900 three years ago.
