The election OF Mckinley and Con-
gross In which sound money forces will
have control has produced WONDER
full change In the financial and COM
mercIa! world. and here In Wheeling
tho change Is easily seen and apprccia-
ted. On all sides are heard intIma-
tions OF extensions and improvements
to be made by local manufacturing es-
Establishments, and orders that were
made contingent on McKinley's sue
cess will now he filled, giving employ
ment to additional labor In large num-
bcrs.
An lntellIscncer reporter rIsltcd sew
eral OF the Wheeling banks yesterday
and asked the officials as to any
changes In financial conditions that
have been brought about BY the cleo
ton OF Mckinley and the triumph OF
sound money, Those OF the officials who
would talk said that one effect OF tho
election has been heavy offerings OF
gold coin for deposit. The gold had

election. Now that sound money has
tr!umphed the gold Is being deposited
In the banks. for the reason that silver

deposit made Wednesday, the morning
after the election, was a cool $1,000 In
gold. which had been boarded by the
denosltOr on account OF the political
situation. There were other instances
OF the same character. Altogether It Is
thought many thousands OF dollars In
gold were held out OF circulation here
before the election.
Nearly al OF the manufacturing es-
adjustments report an improved situ-
alton since the election OF last Tuesday.
As will be noticed below, several plants
have Improvements In contemplation
and one has already let n contract for
additions and improvements.
AT the Whitaker iron works many
conditional orders are being tillcd. In
the event Of Bryan's election the or
ders would have been cancelled. In Il
conversation, Senator Whitaker said:
From now on We look for en- improve
ment III the genera! tone Of business. 1t
Is useless to expect business TO boom
at once. and especially within few
days. Possibly, ten days or more may
show n decided Improvement, but
very pcrceptible Improvement will be
felt ! think, In six or eight months"
The greatest satisfaction over Nc
kinley'S election was exhibited at John
g. Hoffman Sons Company's tannery.
Three orders OF one carload each OF
leather had been received some days
ago. and The orders were TO be for

Yesterday was n red letter day for
the La Belle mill. More orders were
received yesterday than In any one day
In the past six months, and the bulk OF
them were by telegraph. \ great many
enquiries had been received last week.
and 4 significant fact is that the en-
qulrlcs were, timed so that the answer
0f the mill could not be sent until after
election, thus giving the sender OF the
order Il chance 10 see who was elected
before he could close the order. Accep-

ccived from several, yesterday, the day
