In the
Worldof Labor

The deal which has been on during
the past month between the promotrs OF
the table ware combine and the owners
of the local glass factories should reach
conclusion within few days. The
option which the combine has had up
on West Virginia at Martins Ferry ex-
PRED yesterday and unless it is re-
newed the company will feel at liberty
to act independently as business judg-
ment may dictate from this on. A
meeting of representatives of the Ma
tional and directors of the Crystal was
held in this city ON Tuesday and it is
understood the transfer will likely
take place at an early date.
The force of men at work on the new
|, Riverside coke ovens consists OF sixty
bricklayers and thirty stone masons,
and the operations are progressing sat
isfactorily The arches on both the
east and west sections are about COM
pleted, and the iron work will be put
up shortly. A large consignment Of
lumber has arrived for temporary
roof to be placed over the structure to
prevent the wor,- from being hindered
by unfavorable weather during the win
ter. The contractor expects to have
the new works in shape for operations
about the first of the coming May.
The Mears cooper shop at Martins
Ferry is kept busy on boxes for the tin
houses at the Laughlin and Aetna
Standard and quite a demand for apple
barrels has come with the fall trade.
On the upper Riverside grounds at
Benwood a large force of men is en-
gagged in making excavations for an
arch to be constructed over Bogg's
Run. The structure will extend from
the railroad trestle to the mouth of the
stream and will prevent the overflow Of
the adjacent grounds. Brick walls
will be built on either side of the run.
1t is learned upon reliable authority
that the proposed blast furnace will
be located south of the run and other
improvements north of it.
Among the enterprising industrial es-
adjustments of the city that are now
enjoying a full measure of prosperity
these days is the Mccoy Shoe Machin-
cry Company on South Water street.
Under present capable management it
is running in full and giving employ
ment to seventy-fve men, girls and
boys. AS this is the busy season large
shipments are being made daily.
The metal famine has been in evil
dence in many of the Wheeling indus
tries during the past week and more
or less time has been lost as a result.
The La Belle tin mills and plate mills
! have been off at times during the past
six days which condition was due to
this cause. Other departments of the
mill have been operating as usual.

mont mill is about completed and the
improvement has greatly facilitated OPP
erations there. Another heating fur
mace will be constructed at one of the
plate mills. A tendency is being
shown upon the part of the Wheeling
Steel and Iron Company to increase the
capacity of their plants in this vicin-
ity.
The big improvements that have been
In progress at the National Enameling
Company's Bellaire plant are now well
On and the management expects soon
to be running with greatly increased
capacity. The Enterprise and Novelty
plants which manufacture the same line
of goods are pushing the work on their
improvements.
The granite mills at the Aetra-Stan-
dard ran irregularly during the past
week owing to the scarcity of bars.
1t was learned a few days ago from
gentleman who is familiar with the
movements of the stove foundry pee
pie that the effort to form trust IN
this industry has not yet been aband-
oned. The option taken upon one or
two foundrys across the river has not
yet expired and the promoters continue
to send out circulars avowing their
ability to effect a combination. The
small foundrys fear they will be
squeezed out if they refuse to sell
should the trust be finally accomplish
ed.
A buyer for a large department
store in Chicago is quoted as follows in
the Commoner & Glassworzer, with re-
gard to the intentions of the National
Glass Company, which is making an
effort to secure the tableware houses in
this vicinity:
There is no doubt OF the new COM
bine advancing prices. That is what
they are organized for. All the job
bers and dealers are now busy placing
large orders with the different concerns,
at the low prices which now prevail, in
anticipation of the big advance which
they feel sure is coming. have just
placed very large order and l may get
orders to duplicate it, and purchase
lot of other goods before | get back to
Chicago. Business throughout the west
is very good and the prospects are that
even if prices are advanced, the sales
will not fall off to any appreciate ex-
tent
The movement to purchase the
Hobbs glass house, on the South Side,
and place it in operation gained some
impetus during the week, and it can be
stated that the outlook is quite as
bright as at first reported. Capital on
either side of the river is being in
terested and it is said a good portion of
the funds necessary to place the en-
terprise upon a good footing is already
in sight. There should be substantial
progress to report in the matter the
coming week.

with all sorts u rumors. There has
lust ended when 40 many and such
vast deals were nut through or attempt

has been In a state of enervesccnce. and
the public has been kept on the edge to
know what would be the next thing
sprung by the maRnates.
OF course the biggest coup was the
