OLD AND NEW USE FOR WIRE
(Wall Street JournaD

Since the manufacture of wire be-
gan in this country" said the veteran
steel manufacture, I'VE have been
pulled out of many difficulties by un-
foreseen developments. The wire trade
is more active today than any other
barnch of steel, due to large extent
TO the consumption of wire for war
purposes. The substitution of wire
for fencing was another development
responsible for the great growth of
the industry But the most extraordin-
ary boom came when the wire indus
try was in it's infancy. Business had
been poor for long time and produc-
ers were very much discouraged. Sud
denly orders began to make their ap-
pearance by the wholesale, and the
mills were taxed to their utmost ca
pacity The increased demand was
due to the adoption of the hoop skirt
Dame Fashion had started the founda-
tion Of an industry in this country
which now turns out over 100000
tons of wire year. The demand from
this source, Of course did not last, but
it was sufficient to give the industry
good start"
