Smyrna times., 1904-12-07

The report circulated among rail-
road circles that an order was soon to
be given to move the Delaware Dlvl-
sion headquarters from Clayton to
Wilmington Is not received with any
degree If surprise in this town for our
citizens have been expecting it for
some time. For the time being it un-
settles railroad men or rather those
who will be affected by the new order
of things. and the consequence is that
landlords have been notified that pro-
perties will be rented by the month
hereafter. Those who own properties
are in a quandary as to what disposi
tion they will be able to make of them.
While it is true that the removal of the
Division offices will take twenty or
twenty five families from our midst,
there are citizens independent of the
railroad who are not dismayed over the
outlook but on the contrary are rather
= optomistic and feel that Clayton has a
better future awaiting it. By attract
ing some industries here they are led
to believe that the houses to become
vacant will soon be filed and that af-
ter all Clayton may fare much better
than some are wont to believe. The
town is nicely laid out, has good nat
ural advantages and splendid shipping
facilities and the idea of the removal
of the offices to Wilmington killing
the town seems utterly preposterous,
Enough progressive citizens will be
left to run the town and Clayton's flu
ture is as bright as ever.

A wreck occurred on the Cambridge
& Seaford railroad Friday morning
that has delayed traffic on that line all
day. One of the large engines recently
purchased by the Delaware road was
doing some shifting when the steel
rails spread throwing the engine,
tender and freight car off the track.
The wrecking train and seventy five
workmen have been trying to raise
the giant engine which is buried about
three feet in the ground. The track is
twisted and broken and the roadbed
badly damaged.

Conditions in the Iron Market

The iron industry is face to face with production that is going on at the rate of 1S,5OO,OOO tons year. Production has risen nearly to top figures. Two hundred and thirty coke and anthracite furnaces were in blast on May 1, possessing weekly capac- ity of 367,355 tons, a gain of ten per cent in months time, and yet mer- chant furnace stocks were decreased in April, standing on May 1 at 444, 4,059 tons, a decrease since April 1 of about fourteen thousand tons. Consumption is remarkably maintained
 A feeling of uncertainty marks, however, the situation. There is a feeling that consumption cannot ab- sorb present production, and No. 2 foundry is quoted as low as $9.5O The trade, says the Iron Age, lis drifting rapidly into the conviction that we are
 
 to have a pretty quiet summer"
 Production is steadily rising in this district. Our coke furnaces turned out in April 1S2,24 tons, as against 12s.- 947 tons in March and 119, ,O62 tons in February. If the new furnaces at Woodward, Ensley and Battelle are speedily put in blast, the production of this district may be carried to high figures. But this district can make iron at a profit when other districts cannot Heavy production has, how ever, a weakening tendency, and this district is contributing to the in crease.
