Wheeling industries have made little
change during the week. 1t is a cur
rem report that some large additions
will soon be built to some of the lead
ing plants in this city. There is no
doubt but that the construction of these
plants are being debated by the prin-
cipals of these mills; also those that
are at the head of the combines, who
operate them. Plans have been made
for a large addition to one of the lead
ing industries of this city which would
more than double its capacity, but
when talking to a gentleman who is
conversant with the building of new
plants, he stated that TO erect new
mills to-day required almost ready
cash, although even in a combine the
plant that wished to make these addi-
tions must have the required capital,
and that these much talked of new in
dustries for this city would be built
in this city, which would be of such
magnitude as to give the city a boom.
AT the Belmont mill the little plate
mill is off, and the large plate mill is on
single turn. The brick work for the
new plate mill and gas producers IS
progressing rapidly. Work on the re-
construction of the blast furnace will
be pushed more rapidly this week. Mr..
W. A. Malenay, who has charge OF the
work for the Philadelphia Engineering
Co., will be in personal charge of the
work this week. The blasting of the
salamander from the bottom Of the
furnace is going very slow. The sala-
mander is that part OF the meal and
gross that accumulates in the bottom
of a furnace after it has been in OPP
Grafton a number of years.
The La Belle mill has put in a busy
week with every department ol in full.
The tin department is having IN eXcep-
tionally steady run.
The Riverside has the plate mills On
and two furnaces Of the tube works;
also the blast furnace, all OF which
have put in a busy week. The steel
plant is closed down and will hardly
resume until the new tubular boilers
are placed in position aad ready for
operation. It is reported thaC the en-
tire plant will be able TO resume this
week. The National Tube Co. have
acquired all the territory necessary Cor
the proposed additions TO the Riverside
mill in Benwood. The only signs OF
improvement to be seen is at the Boggs
run arch, of which so much mention
has been made. During the week I
large force of men have been busy Dig
ging a trench north from the arch to
Whiteman's property to Second street,
which is probably for a sewer.
At the Benwood mill both steel and
pudding departments are on in full. 1t
is not thought the Wheeling Iron and
Steel Co., which operate this mill, viii
start up the nail factory, but viii per-
nit the factory at the Belmont mill to
make all the nails they require for
their trade. One of authority and per-
sonally eonversant with this business,
stated that he expected the bottom 10
fall out of the iron nail business; also
that several of the factories in this Sec
ton would most probably close down in
the near future. ii the business contin-
ued as dull as at present.
All of the potteries in the city we're

Bellaire industries have put in a busy
week, with almost every factory and
mill on in full. There is prob
ably few cities in this State that have

joyed. The Glass City is fast regain
ing its former place, which is fully
shown by the large Advance in real
estate.
The Bellaire Bottle Co. is still busily
engaged turning out its product, which
IS meeting with a ready sale. The new

of the United States.
The Bellaire Steel Co. has not yet
learned the order TO clos down and
is still enjoying the distinction of being
