OUTLOOK At
THE BIG MILL

The twelve and the sixteen inch mill
of the Reading Iron Works along with
the entire pudding department of the
plant started up Monday morning as
usual II is gratifying that these two
mills Notwithstanding the slow iron
market have been run with such little
loss of time during the winter But
what will be hailed as still more en-
couragiug TO tho citizens OF DauvilIe is
the fact that there are fair prospects
of the plant running along in its pres
eut shape during the whole winter
During an interview with Superin-
tendent ". Gray Williams at his office
Monday ;hat gentleman expressed
himself very hopefully. 1t Is true that
the iron as we'll as the steel situation
presents a puzzling problem just now.
But Mr. Williams states that notwith-
standing the depressed conditions pre-
vailing there is fair amount of in
quIry, which shows that there Is still
a good deal of business in the market.
Ii is true also that there Is a decrease
in values, but as there il still as much
money as ever in the country the in
ference would seem to be that things
will adjust themselves without any
semblanCe u a panic or depression
more marked than that of the present.
Speaking for the local field Mr.. Will
Jams says his company has hopes of
keeping the plant here as running at
present in operation until spring.
On the subject of Bars the pro-
duct Of our mill here, a writer in the
current number of Iron Age" quotes
as follows: Prices of bar iron show
further recessions and prices are al
most anything from $l.25 to $l.40 de-
livered Mills that make few sizes
have to make extremely low rates to
get any business at all, but first class
bars cannot be had at much if any
thing below S1.35.
During the fall there was much sol.
icItude among our wage earners and
business people as to the outlook for
the winter Now that February is APP
preaching and the situation being as
above described the worst fears will
naturally be dispelled By spring no
doubt things will have readjusted
themselves and there will be the us
ual revival of business along all lines.
