THE GREATEST GAIN
Industry Which Suffered the
Hardest Blow in the Panic
Recovering Fast and Mills
Are Running.
-

New York, May 15-Predictions of
the quick return of prosperity and nor
NAL conditions are made by a score
of leading financiers and commercial
representatives, adding their weight to
the optimistic prophecies of four great
captains OF industry who foretold the
scattering of tie clouds of depression
and uncertainty before golden sun
Upon the settlement of the tariff re-
!, vision and good crops, say the oracles
OF finance, depends the stimulus OF
business which will precede recovery
from the unsteadiness following the
panic.
In steel and iron particularly are en-
couraging reports made. This indus
try has been the one chiefly affected
by the financial depression and the
representatives OF the producing cor.
porations say that the advance in bus
mess has been steady and is growing
rapidly.
Among those who today predicted a
return OF prosperity was William
Rockefeller. He believes that much
depends upon the tariff bill. He SAYS
the country is in good condition.
The extent of the Improvement in
steel. copper. electrical and other in
dustries over the last two months has
been borne out by recent statements
made by the heads OF Industrial co.,
porations. All seem to agree that the
improvements will continue and in the
event OF good crops normal conditions
will prevail before many months have
elapsed.
Continued Improvement Indicated.
W. E. Corey. president of the United
States Steel corporation. says the cor
poration is operating about 10 per cent
of normal capacity. and that indica-
tons are for continued Improvement
in prices as well as production. A
representative Of the Standard Oil
company says the business of the com
pany is normal.
A representative Of the General
Electric company says the corporation,
since February. has been receiving or
ders at the rate Of between $51 600. 900
and S5s.oNooo . year. and that orders
in the curren. fiscal year are likely to
reach S6oe00.oOO. or equal to the boom

J. A Topping. chairman of the Re-
public Iron and Steel company, says ali
the blast furnace capacity of the cor
poration is operating and IS per cent
Of the finishing capacity.
Representatives Of the Amalgamated

copper at advancing prices. and a

FACTS ABOUT PINS.

How Thsss Indispensable Little Arti.
eIss Ar Manufactures.
A few centuries ago pins were %
expensive that only the rich could at
ford them. The poorer people used
long thorns. nshbones or splinters Of
wood.
At the time Of the Revolutionary
war pins were made Of iron and had
one end filed to q point ana q piece Of
fine wire twisted around the other end
for head.
In the early days OF the United
States pins were all made in Europe.
and they became SO scarce when the
war OF 1912 stopped their Importation
that the price rose to dollar q pack.
age.
Nowadays in our big pin factories
pins are made Of fine wire just the
thickness OF pins. This wire 10 hrst
Strengthened to take out the kinks and
is then cut into pin lengths. One end
OF the wire II then struck 90 sharply
that 1t flattens out add forms the head
Next the pins fall through q slot just
wide enough to allow the stems Of tho
pins to pass through. Hanging thus by
their heads. the lower end Of the pin

The pins are now ready for the
finishing touches. They are boiled In
weak beer to remove the grease and
dirt. Then q caldron II filled with aI-
ternate layers OF pins and tin grains.
over which certain chemicals are pour

they shine they are ready to b stucx
