week, and the industries remain about
the same; some have closed down on
account of the scarcity of metal, while
others have not run steadily. The out
look for the coming week remains
about the same and it is doubtful If

partments on as usual.
The North Wheeling Glass Co. have
the factory working in full.
The Stifel Calico Works is still bus
lily engaged in getting their large plant
ready for operation. About all the
new machinery has arrived and is rap
idly being placed in position.
The Central Glass Factory has been
working only a part of its factory dur
ing the last week, owing to a scarcity

tons of pig metal, which is a remark
able rum.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Wheeling district managers of the
American Tin Plate Company conclud-
ed it's session in this city Wednesday
night. A number of managers were
seen and asked regarding the
report which has gained credence
to the effect that the meeting had to
do with the trusts buying the property
of the La Belle iron works in this city
in order to secure more space for en-
larging the tin plant. All stated that
the meeting was merely held for the
discussion of regular business pertain
ing to the district. Mr.. Cecil Robin
son, local manager, stated that there
was no foundation for the report that
the company would buy the La Belle
iron works. AS to the report that the
meeting was for the purpose of decid-
ing whether the deal would be closed
or not, Mr.. Robinson said that the
matter was not even discussed.
Martins Ferry is still enjoying the
luxury of having almost all of its in
d~ustries working in full, and with
bright hopes that additions will be
built to the Laughlin tin plant, pro-
viding that the people do not ask too
exorbitant prices for their property.
Also a new glass factory will most
likely be located here, which will make
thre factories for the city. This city
has a very promising future before it.
The Aetna-Standard mill remains the
same as last week, and it is safe to say

plant Will soon be on in full. and it is
persistently rumored that some addi-
tions will be made during this summer.
The Laughlin tin mill is on in full.
and with good prospects for a continu-
GUS run. 1t has not yet been learned
how large the additions will be that
are contemplated to this plant, but it
Is learned on good authority that the
plant will be doubled, while many say
its capacity will be tripled, but at pre-
sent no one outside of those at the
head of the trust know as to how large
the additions will be.
The West Virginia Glass Co., which
was expected to resume tomorrow. will
hardly get on, as the company wish to
make some repairs. The factory may
resume this week, but it is likely that
the plant will not be on until next
week, Mr.. Robinson, the new factory
manager, has now charge of the plant.

and during the last week have turned
out some extra large castings, which
this plant has quite a reputation for.

and both departments are finding a
