IRON IS ACTIVE
Chicago. Nov. 1.-THE Industrial
World tomorrow will say: Iron has ex-
perienced the impulses of a new and
more active life. Pig iron has again ad-
vanced from 25 to 80 cents per ton ac-
cording to delivery. and No. local coke
is quoted S1l.25 to sl1.75. Southern
foundry IS also correspondingly higher
and No. foundry is now selling at
S11. 40 and better. Orders during the
past week have been the largest in ma
ny months. They come from many
sources and indicate a wide awakening
of industrial activity. The plate mills
at South Chicago have reopsned and
for al kinds of finished mill products
there is much better inquiry. But the
mills have been famished for orders and
there is no Improvement in prices.
BRICKS FROM SAND.
San Francisco, Cal. Nov. ia great
brick plant is TO be established in prox-
unity to San Francisco which will add
materially to this city's manufacturing
interests and, through new methods,
may lead to a revolution in that impor-
tant industry. An organization has
been incorporated under the name OF
VI,
proposes to expend $4,000 in the pur-
chase OF site and the erection of build
ngs for the manufacture of bricks from
Sand, no other ingredients entering into
their composition than those contained
III sand or earth. Plans for the kiln
have been drawn and a search is now
being made for proper site The pro-
cess to be employed is that of Professor
E. G. Brice of Washington. The stone
brick, which il is proposed TO make
here, manufactured from powdered
stone. such as sand. clay, etc. These
substances are mixed with a prepared
fluid which acts as a bond, holding to-
gether the particles of sand or other ma
terial used as a filler. the whole being
thoroughly annealed by heating. Among
the advantages claimed for the brick
is the saving of time, only ten hours
being needed for their manufacture, in
stead Of eight to thirty days: much
less consumption OF fuel, scarcely any
loss from burning, a crushing strength
of from 10000 to 5000 pounds to the
squQare inch instead of from 400 to A.
600 pounds, and a reduction of cost 10
three-fifths OF that OF the old style
bricks. Professor Brice has visited this
coast several times within a few months
and is expected soon to return, after
which final steps will be taken for the
building OF the plant.
