The annual renort of General Man
agar Jamis M. Swank, of the Ameri
can Iron and Steel association, whioh
i:as inst been coranlsted and will be
preiented to the members of the asso
ciation during the next few days, ii
especially interesting from the fact
mat it deals with a nerlod of the lowest
prieea for iron and steel produota ever
oeior Known in the history of trie
trade. 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. The shipments of iron ore from
tne Lake bunsnor mines in ioim
nuwunted to 'C,0G0,4!)3 tons, agaiost
0,069.556 tons in 181)3, a decrease of
a,()iil).004 tons. Our imports of iron ore
in 181)3 nmounted to 620.051 gross tons,
neainat 800.585 tons in 181)2. The im
ports iu 181)3 were the smallest siuoe
1BS3.
The produetion of eoal of all kinds
in the United States in 1893 was 162,
814.077 gross tons, against 160,115,243
tons in 1893. The shipments of antura
cite conl from the Pennsylvania mines
in 1893 amounted to 43,039,537 gross
tons, ugainst 41,893.821 tons in 1892, an
increase or l,t)t,2lu tons, The produo
ttun of coke in the United States in
1S93 was 9,477,580 net tons of 3.000
pounds, against 12,010.829 tons in 1892,
a decrease ot 3,533,249 tons. The shin

to 01Li723 net tons, against 499 777 tons
in 1SUJ-. and 406,010 tonsiu 1891. The
produetion of pig iron in the United
Mates in 18U3 was 7,124,51)2 cross tons.
against 9,157,000 tons in 18C2, a deursse
or 8,033,498 tons. This decrease was
almost entirely in the second half of
1893, the production of the first half
being 4,nb2,9l9 tons, and in the second
hair only 3.561,584 tons. As compared
with the first half of 1893 the produc
tion in the second half shows a decrease
of Beady 44 per cent., the largest semi
annual decrease in production of which
there is any statistical record, The
ontpntinth first half of 1894 was 3,-
717,983 tons, a quantity but slightly in
fxchss ot that in tue second nail or
1893.
The produetion of Bessemer steel in
gots in 1893 was 3.315,080 eros tons.
against 4,103.435 tons iu 1892, and
8,247,417 tons in 1891. There was a de
crease of 952,749 tons, or over 23 per
cent, in 1893 as oompared with 1893.
The production in 1893 was the small
est annnal production since 1339. The
prod notion of open-hearth steel ingots
in 1893 was 737.890 gross tons, against
609.839 tons in 1893, an increase of 03,

The decline in output in 1893 over
1893 was well distributed throughout
the various districts of the state.
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.

Too Much Knowledge.
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

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.
