Xetv Castle, Pa., Starch 10. It is com
mon knowledge that at present every
branch of the iron and steel trades is under
going the most severe case of industrial
paralysis it has ever been the misfortune of
these industries to suffer. From the blast
furnace industry down to the stage of final
completion dullness and depression in a
more or less aggravated degree afflict these
sister industries. This deplorable condition
bas'remained so long, and at present is evi
dencing not the remotest sign of a partial
cessation, that there is now heard a faint
sound of despair echoing through these
naturally blessed districts. A dark cloud
of inactivity and industrial distress is surely
begiuuingto settle upon the iron-making dis
tricts of Western Pennsylvania. During a
period of but very ordinary activity m the
iron trade this town and its environs ,re
the busiest spots in Western Pennsylvania,
because of the many natural advantages it
possesses for the economical production and
its availability to advantageously market
either raw or finished iron or steel. It
enjoys the identical advantages of the Pitts
burg district, and of course these are unex
ceptional. Therefore, when one sees on
every hand evident signs of idleness, and
continually hears stories of depression, it is
natural to infer that the causes therefor are
not ol local origin.
The first intimation I received of this
condition of the iron and steel trades
hereabouts was a sight which I consider a
very fit precursor of the unfavorable news
that I have since learned. Along the line
of the Pittsburg and Western Railway for
a distance of three miles I noticed an un
broken line of empty ore cars. The rusty
condition of their running gear and general
abandoned air well indicated that they are
not being used for the reason that there is
nothing for them to do. This'lact was com
mented upon by a railroad official here. It
is his opinion that the traffic business of the
Shenango Valley was never in his expe
rience so limited and curtailed, and the out
look he thought was serious enough to
demand the immediate consideration of the
various industries aflected, with a view to
making some provision to counteract the
abnormal depression settling over the
valley.
Few of the TTorks Running FnlL
Xone of the local industrial establish
ments are running fulL Mill and furnace
owners wear an air of indifference, and seem
willing to accept with good philosophy the
inevitable result of either total or partial
stoppage of operations. At the JEtna Mill
of P. L. Kimberly & Co. one of the two
stacks is in operation, which condition with
them is rendered possible from the fact
that the product of tlie stack finds an easy
field of consumption in their adjoining roll
ing mill. This latter is not very busy, and
a loud wail went forth from this quarter
against the unsatisfactory level at which
prices for finished shapes are ruling. At
Johnson's Arthusia Mill I found the plant
employed to a fair degree ofactivity, but
from the tone of the conversation of one of
the minor officials they evidently do not
expect to be always so comparatively
fortunate. The Crawford Iron and Steel
Company's lied Jacket plant is in steady
operation, due to the fact that one of the
associated firms is using the product of the
furnace. This furnace plant is controlled
by the Xew Castle Wire Xail Company,
which latter concern is erecting a very large
mill adjoining their wire mill, to be used
for the making of steel billets to supply
their own consumption. A member ot the
concern stated that trade was indeed
"rocky" at present, and from all sources he
was led to place little confidence in the im
mediate future.
At Earner & Berger's furnace plant a
very considerable quantity ot Joundry iron
remains on hand, and while the stack is
Etill operating I was informed that the firm
contemplates, in fact has decided, to close
down in about two weeks. This contem
plated action is a sufficient evidence of the
condition ot things with this firm. One of
the members spoke at length on the un
favorable conditions on account of the pres
ent enormous production of iron, the limited
consumption, the activity of Southern fur
nace companies in selling in Northern mar
kets, and above all the entire and complete
absence of any demand for foundry irons at
any reasonable price.
One Active Furnace Firm.
At the Rosina Furnace of the Oliver Iron
tnd Steel Company the plant is actively en
gaged in turning out mill iron, but it seems
that here, too. some mitigating circum
stances surround the mystery ot their un
usual activity. I was informed, that the
plant is the property of he Ward estate
rnd has for some time been operated under
a lease which will expire April L Jjt was
further stated that it is the intention of the
lessees to yield up possession then, as they
find they are able to buy mill iron cheaper
delivered at their Woods' Eun, Pittsburg,
mill, where the production of this plant
finds an outlet cheaper than it can be made
for here. There is an enormous quantity of
iron in the yards cf this furnace, the
amount running up into the thousands of
tons. When it is considered that very
little iron is being shipped away, but all
being piled np, probably the reason for the
unusual sight of a. blast furnace in active
operation at the present time can be ac
counted for.
On inquiring info the cause or causes of
this unprecedented depression, the consen
sus of opinion seems to lay it at the door of
the great evil of any industry overproduc
tion. There are many who venture addi
tional reasons, such as the" activity of the
South in the blast furnace industry and its
consequent competition with Northern
msker!, the gradual substitution of the uni
versal use ot steel for iron, restricted con
sumption and the dullness of general trade.
But by following the causes of these lesser
evils back to their beginning it will be clearly
found that they are only the offspring of
the present evil overproduction. This one
word covers the multitude of miseries that
now embrace the iron and steel trade.
Pajlng the Penalty of Error.
At the close of 1889 it is estimated that
the blast furnace industry had over
reached itself to the extent of 15 percent,
or, in other words, the production then ex
ceeded consumption to this extent. Now it
is estimated that the annual consumption of
the country increases each year about 10 per
cent over the former year, so that when the
United State exceeded England in the
production of pig iron during 1890, it at the
same time surpassed its ordinary increase
about 10 per cent, thus doubling the over
wrought condition previously existing, and
for which violation of the greatest natural
law of trade the equanimity between
supply and demand it is now paying a
double penalty.
There is not onpwhotakesahopeful view
of the immediate situation, for general con
fidence has been rudely shattered. Every
outside influence portended good for the
iron trade for the year of 1892. The crop
returns were the largest in the country's
history; railroad earnings were the largest
known; financial easiness prevailed every
where; the large increase in exports and re
turning flow of gold, promised activity in
railroad construction and equipment and in
the volume of building. It sentiment con
trolled the doings of the markets our pros
perity would be long lasting. But while'
the trade was cherishing the most flattering
hopes for the luture the chimera was gnaw
ing at the very foundations-of luture pros
perity. It lured producers on to greater
efforts and a glutted market is the result
enormous stocks piling up all around them,
and aside from the absence of need of re
pairs or financial distress there is only one
method that can force them into a state of
inactivity. This is an unprofitable busi
ness, the'direct result of bitter competition.
The Southern pig iron producer is a stayer.
It is a question now whether more North
ern furnaces will go out of blast than South
ern in the commercial war now being
waged to restrict overproduction. Time
alone will tell.
Meantime the fact that furnaces are go
ing out of blast is the first hopeful sign.
Those who know assert that the continua
tion of this compulsory policy is the only
method that will restore the iron industry
to its former greatness. C J. K.

Congressmen Come to a Conclusion as to a
Mining Measure.
Washington, March 11. The sub-committee
appoiuted by the House Committee
on Mines and Mining, to which was referred
the Geary and Caminetti mining bills, to
day agreed to report a substitute. This sub
stitute is the measure introduced by Mr.
Caminetti, with suggestions from the War
Department added, providing that its pro
visions shall be enforced "under the super
vision of the Chief of Engineers and direc
tion of the Secretory of War." It also con
tains, at the request of the committee rep
resenting the California Miners' Conven
tion, a clause providing for a tax of 3 "per
cent on the gross ontput of hydraulic mines,
to be expended in building dams and main
taining the same in order. The report says:
We hare deemed it advisable to omit re
porting on amounts of money required to
carry the provisions of the proposed law into
effect, believing that the particular duty re
quired of us was to examino the question on
its merits and submit a plan of action,
we have done. We are impressed wit
importance of subject and necessity f
islation. not onlv in behalf of river con
ian oi action, xnis
