TIIE SCRANTON TIHBTJNE WEDNESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 14, 1894.
Industrial and
MINE, MILL AND RAILROAD.
The Carnegie company, of Pittsburg,
Which produced more Iron and steel In
October than In any previous month In
Its history, proposes to soon begin the
erection ot four additional Immense
blast furnaces. When the new furnaces
are completed this company will have a
total annual capacity of about 1,700,000
gross tons of pig Iron, or nearly one
ninth of the present total annual ca
pacity of the whole country.
A charcoal blast furnace which Is
oon to be erected at Ogden, Utah, will
be 05 by 11 feet. It will have a 6-foot
vertical blowing engine, and will be
equipped with Iron stoves. The pipe
foundry, to be connected with the plant,
will have a dally capacity of from
thirty to forty tons of gas and water
pipe. A general foundry and machine
shop will also be built. Negotiations
are pending for the establishment of a
email rolling mill for the manufacture
of merchant Iron, for a stove foundry
is among the poslbllitles. It Is hoped
to have all these enterprises In active
operation early In the spring of 181)5.
The armor-plute department of the
Bethlehem Iron company, of South
Bethlehem, Pa., Is to have Important
additions made to It. Two large open
hearth furnaces are to be added to the
four now in' place, and a large plate
rolling train Is to be installed In the
same building.
Among the metal exports from Balti
more during the last week in October
were 600 kegs of nails and 26,880 pounds
of wire to Dublin. Frequent consign
ments of nails and hardware are made
to the West Indies, but exports of
American nails and wire to a British
port, especially In the quantities shown
here, are new and worthy of note. It
Beems to show that American manufac
turers are beginning to take advantage
of the close approximation of prices In
the two countries.
A Pittsburg dispatch says: D. B.
Oliver, of the Oliver Iron and Steel
company, says that the big new tin
plate mill projected on the South Side
before the election Will now certainly be
built as a result of the Republican vic
tory at the polls. The Olivers and
others interested In the venture are
busy getting ready the plans. The com
pany will be incorporated shortly with
a capital of about $1,000,000. The con
tracts for erecting the plant will be
given out some time soon after the
first of the year and the work will be
started as early as the weather will
permit. The plant will give employ
ment to 500 hundred men as soon as It
Is completed and twice as many before
many months after. It Is proposed to
make the new mill the largest of Its
kind In the United States and one of
the largest in the world. The estimated
cost of the mill, excluding the cost of
the site, is $400,000.
Manufacturers and dealers are hope
ful of a fair volume of business in holi
day specialties, and are stocking up ac
cordingly. In regular lines of business
a more cheerful feeling Is clearly ap
parent as a result of the elections,
which have demonstrated that tariff
tinkering will no longer have to be taken
Into consideration In contracting for
the future. Orders that have been held
back will make an Important aggregate,
This Is particularly true of the Iron and
Bteel trade. The more seasonable
weather is having the natural effect of
stimulating Inquiry for winter goods,
but as yet the demand for spring neces
sities has failed to develop, , v
MINOR INDUSTRIAL NOTES:
Pittsburg trolley cars now carry mall.

the second week of November will

Steel company, at Jolllet, 111., are com
pletely sold up for the remainder of the
year.

last year.
STOCKS AND BONDS.
By the United Press.
New York, Nov. 13. The railway and
miscellaneous stock market today was
controlled by the question of u new
government bond Issue, but the street
did not know anything official until
after the close of business. In the early
trading the market ruled stronger and
higher. The rise at this time was equal
to ,4 to 2 per cent. This was succeed
ed by a fractional recession, but when
Western Union moved up VA to DO'4, the
whole list Improved sympathetically.
In the lust hour there was heavy sell
ing of sugar, the stock falling 1. The
steady selling of sugar unsettled the
general list, which closed nearly steady;
wet changes snow losses of to 1 per
cent. Total sales were 201,000 shares.
The range of today's prices for the ac
tive stocks of the New York stock market
are given below. The quotations are fur

FOR MEN MOST WORK.
The Many Uncomplaining but Weary
Toilers. , .
They Go Without Rest to Make
Sure of Happiness for Others.
Overwrought Nerves Work Half Fed and
Cry Out with Pain.
For eight out of every ten who ever
take a vacation, there remains behind
some hard working, uncomplaining
toller who Is only too happy If he can
provide a rest and change for those
dear to him.
And it Is lucky If In many cases this
self-denial does not get to be regarded
as a duty, and the thought of a rest
for one's self a thing Impossible.
Tne number of such overwrought
men, who simply toll right on without
so much as a two weeks' respite a year,
Is surprisingly large.
Grateful wls'es and children should
see, then, that these cheerful and un
selfish fathers and brothers do not
'work themselves to death."' Signs of
falling strength and nervous weakness,
that none so quickly detect as they.
should be promptly and firmly com
batted. A thorough feeding of worn-
out nervous tissues by Palne's celery
compound soon does away with every
form of nervous debility and exhaus
tion. This great nerve and brain ln
vlgorator, Palne's celery compound,
supplies rich material for the repair of
all the nerve tissues. It makes the thin,
used-up blood again capable of feeding
the system, and purifies it of all humors
that work harm to the body.
There are countless men so absorbed
In business thut they disregard the In
dications of nervous weakness and
think that their neuralgia, headaches,
and rheumatism are trifles. It Is the
duty of those members of the house
hold who see this gradual decline from
health to Insist on a building up of the
'run-down system and a strengthen
ing of the nerves and brain by a vigor
ous tonic like Palne's celery compound.
In every city In this country there are
homes that have escaped sickness and
misfortune because some prudent
member has known the value of Palnes
celery compound for strengthening
nerves and brain, purifying the blood,
and building up the vigor of the tired
body. For overworked men, for nervous,
"run-down" women, In a bloodless con
dition, Palne's celery compound Is the
regular prescription of family practi
tioners all over the country. It has
permanently freed thousands from neu
ralgia, rheumatism, dyspepsia, kidney
troubles, and blood diseases by Invigor
ating the body, purifying the blood and
feeding the nerves. Nothing gives
strength like Palne's celery compound

Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many rmt
rons that they will this year hold to their usual custom
of millinK STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the 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 other
brands.
