Rtctlftr Paxaon, of the Radinff, lias
returned from bin European trip. The
ju I go was in Europe n little over three
weeka, spending one week in Paris and
nearly all tha rest of the time in Lon
don. His trip Mi solely for plonsure,
although ha saw a number of persons
largely interested in the Readiug. To
these lie explained the condition of the
property and the steps that were taken
hy the receivers, with wbiob. they
seemed satisfied. Judge Piixson said
he found E iiflish invostera vsry dia
trnsttnlof American securities. Tha
disclosures alf .'ctiui; certain properties
now in the hands of the receivers hal
created a very unfavorable feeling in
regard lo American investments. This
MDtimtDt, however, did not extend to
the proposed issu of bands by the
treasury, the opinion being general that
the issue would be successfully Boated.
Twenty-fivo hnnired men wars at
work in the Pennsylvania Steel com
pany's mills, at Steelton yesterday
COMrqntDt on the restarting of one
Bessemer, one rail, the Meruhaut and
two bloom mills, which will emply an
aggregate force of 1,. 1(10 people. Since
the lUspfDlioO, which went into effect
over a month ago.only about 1,000 men
have been employed at the extensive
works. When all the works owned by
the company are in full operation near
ly 4,000 persons are required to per
form the necessary labor. As tu de
mand for material of various kinds
made by tho company haanot justified
the resumption of work in them, three
of the four furnaces attached to the
steel plant are idle, and any pig iron
needed outside of mat piled up in the
yards is being received from other
points.
