While crises snowed a declin tag tendency during the whole of 181)3 production also grew less from montu to month. The course of trade daring the year is well shown by the statistics of actual production, as taken from the report. The production of iron ore in the United States in 1803 wsll. 687.G29 gros tons, against 16,2110,011(1 tons in a decrease or i.WJ.wt tons.

Roports from the manufacturing centers of Ohio and Indiana show a general revival of industries. At Springfield, Superintendent Charles Bauer, of the Warder, Buehnellsnd Glessner harvesting factory, stated Saturday that they would start up Monday. When all departments cau begot running 1,300 men will be em ployed, There are prospects of a good season. At I 'on the Bslfont fur nace, Foster Stove company, Yellow Poplar Lumber company's mills, New man & Spanner's Saw and Planing mills, the Kelley Nail mill, the Penn Lumber company's planing mill and Belfont Rolling mill and nail factory all went into operation, running full time. The large furnaae of the Meas-Kyle eompany at Hanging Rock will "blow iu" in about thirty days. Ia addition to this every f aotory and furnace in Lawrence county, with three exceptions, is in active operation, and;all report a healthy inerease in busl ness. At Muncie, Ind., the C. H. Over window glass works and the Muneie flint glass works resumed work with nearly 300 hands. All Muncie glass faotories are preparing to start this month. About Elwood, Ind., there is unusual activity. The United window glass factory commenced operations with 500 hands, who have aceepted the Z2i per cent cnt. Two extra gangs of grinders were put on at the diamond plate glass factory. Franklin window glass plants are getting ready to start up sines the wage soale has been ad justed. They employ 800 men. ' Never since the discovery of coal In this section, says the Hazleton Plain Speaker, bave soch great strides beea made toward increasing the output, im proving the 'mining facilities and In every way furthering the possibilities of the great industry than are being Snade at present by the various com panies. The movement Is not confined to one corporation, but is general, Hundreds of thousands of dollars are being spent in opening np new slopes, strippings. washerles, etc., while the aim of every superintendent seems to be toward improving the mines under his ear as greatly as the best mining engineer can, by the nse of recent in ventions. Every thingidone tends toward GENERA INDUSTRIES increasing the output and preparing the mines to respond to the great demands which will be made upon them during the next few years. That these pro ceedings are productive ot "good times" is evident from the size of last month's pay rolls, many of the companies paying. out larger amounts than they ever did for one month. Friday morning the washery at Trees kow, operated by the Conlock Coal company, resumed operations, having been idle since last June. Over sixty men and boys were given work. The material run through the colliery is secured from the Tresckow oulm banks, over 00 per cent ot which is the finest of coal. The plant, which has been remodeled and fitted out with the latest modern machinery, will be capable of handling 100 tons of coat daily. Exca vations for a reservoir to supply water for the plant have been begun. Prepa rations are being made by the Lebigh and Wilkei-Barre Coal company to open another stripping. The "Big Vein," located between Honeybrook and Audenried, is to be unearthed, and for this purpose men are now employed clearing away brush, troes, culm and other debris, after whioh planes will be erected and two steam shovels placed in position to remove the clay, which runs from ten to twenty-five feet thick. The seam of coal is one of the largest and best on the South Side and is ovr eighty feet thiok. When everything is in readiness fully 200 men will be given employment. Minor Industrial Notes: Lewis Kantuer, of lit, Carmel, has aguin taken charge of the Royal Onk col liery at Sbamokiu and will iu the future operate it alone. John Bailey, formerly mine boss for HutcuinB & Co. at the Morning Star col liery has sccepted a position with Simp son & Watkins as coal insneotor at Forty Fort ami Harry E."colliories. " A, S. Vanwickle & Co., who lately pur chased the Roberta colliery at New Castle, from Tyler & McTurk, are preparing to open up that work on a large scale. They are now hard at work on the plans of a mammoth breaker with a'capacity of 1,000 tons a day, to be in full blast by 1390. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, Etocki and Bonds. New Yokk.

The foreman of a room In one of the lurnest manufacturing establishments in the country told a friend recoutly the cir cumstances of lila llrst Roing to work there, and tho brief story contains a moral which it. would be well for many a lad starting out in life to lay to heart. He was Bent to. the foreman of th factory by a frieud who was anxious to get him into the employ of the company, and the following conversutton took place: "Well," the foreman said, "I understand you want to come horo to work. What do you know about machines?" "Nothing," the other answered. ' "Nothing!" echoed' the foreman, In sur prise. "You do not mean to say that you never saw a machine, I suppose?" "I literally never saw a machine work in my life," waa the reply, "except a locomo tive." "Where do you come from?" "Cnpo Cod." "Hum!" the foreman remarked, study ing the face before him. "I came from the Cape myself. Do you suppose that there is unything in our business that you will not know nil about iu six uionth.s, if you como hereto work?" The Cape Cod man was puzzled how to nnRwor, and contented himself with say lug that ho was aure he could not tell. "Tho truth is," the foreman explained, "wo can get plenty of meu, but by the time they have been here six months or u year they know so much that we hnvc to send them away. They know a vast deal more than we men who have been here twenty yoara, and they are mostly willing to tell us all they know, too. "Now if you think thcro are things that you cannot learn in a? week or two, we should like to hire you; but if you are one of the abominably wiso kind you had bet ter move along and give us a chanco to find somebody who doesn't know quite so mucu," xoutu'a Companion. Bow a Malno Woman Saved Her Watch "Wasn't it strangcl" "Who ever heard of such n thing!" And then they both smiled and both kept silent. One of tho ladies is married and lives in Lcwiston. Her husband told the writer whut they were talking about. "My wife," said he, "hns a small gold watch she wears in front of her dress. The day you overheard her she had been in a storo rather crowded, and a man grabbed tho watch by tho chain and ran. During the uftcruoon she had met with an acci dent, und a roll of tape which she was car rying concealed about her person had be come viciously loose and was bothering her. blie took It and thrust it in next to the watch. "In somo way the wutch had caught it, and as the thief started oway the tapo be gan to run out like a ship's hawser. The thief, turning around quickly, saw what was following mm, and iu consternation ho dropped the watch, and my wife recov ered it. That's a true bill, und 1 cuu prove It." Lewistou Journal. He Knew Memphis. He was a backwoods Teunessean seeing Washington with an official friend, and tho last night they did "Cleopatra" as pre sented by Bernhardt. Ho was greatly impressed by the per formance, and in that scono where the Kgyptian queen sits upon the terruce over looking Memphis his enthusiasm bubbled over. "Mooushine and molasses!" he ejaculated in a whirring whisper; "ain't that a sucker from the headwaters? Whut is it, any how?" "It's Memphis," whispered the official, bolding bim down. "Come oil'" he said, after a moment's reflection, "it uin't. They don't tulk French iu Memphis. I sold a car load of mules down there last fall." Washington star. Dreams Are Wonderful.

Seeds and t 11 POWDER mamkk P JTIOI: To Our Patrons Washburn-Crosby Co. vish to assure their many patrons that they will this year hold to their usual custom of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and owing to tha excessively dry weather many millers are of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take NO RISKS, and will allow the new wheat fully three months to mature before grinding. This careful attention to every detail of milling has placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above all other brands.
