INDUSTRIAL
AND LABOR
BUILDINGS ABE DISAPPEARING
RAPIDLY.
Soon Not a Vestige Will Remain of
the Original Plant of the Lacka
wanna Iron & Steel Company.
Cleaning Up Ground to Make Way
for the Buildings of the Lacka
wanna and Wyoming Valley Rapid
Transit Company The D. L. & W.
Board for Today.
It Is only a matter or a few weeks
before there will not be left a vestigo
or the original plant or the Lackawan
na Iron and Steel company, around
which the city of Scranton began Its
being hnir a century ugo.
Two hundred men have been at work
three weeks dismantling the old build
ings, from which the steel company had
moved' the machinery to Buffalo, and
silready there remains standing only
the skeletons of the larger buildings.
Everything on the surface o the
ninety-seven acres of the steel mill
tract north and east of Mattes street
is to be torn down and sold as scrap.
The Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley
ltapld Transit company, which bought
the tract for a site for Its power house,
shops ana yard, sold the buildings to
Henry A. Ultner's Sons, or Philadel
phia, and the latter with a force of 200
men are clearing off the ground with
nil possible haste.
The old rolling mill, engine house,
blast furnace, reservoir, fish plate
mill, stock house, tool houses, carpen
ter shop, stables and various smaller
buildings, including three dwelling
houses are to be razed to the ground,
and the material of their construction
peddled throughout the country.
The contractors' estimate of the usa
ble material in the structures being
dismantled Is as follows: Light and
heavy timber, 1,000,000 feet; 100,000 lire
brick; 1,000,000 red brick; ::,000 cubic
yards of stone; 100 tons of steel beams,
L',"i tons or corrugated roofing, 20 tons
of tin roofing, 4 car loads of roofing
slate, nnd 400 cast, iron columns.
This represents only the material that
pan be used as it stands for construc
tion purposes. Besides this there arc
hundreds of tons of scrap iron of all
kinds, which will be sold by the ton to
various mills.
There Isn't a thing of value in, around
or about the tract that the contractors
are not gathering up. They propose to
go through the whole place with a
fine tooth comb. Even the dirt along
Ihe dumps is being screened for scraps
of pig iron. An old sleigh left In one
of the wagon hheds was seized upon as
a something that might realize thirty-
seven cents.
Anything that cannot be disposed of
here will be shipped to Philadelphia,
where the contractors have immense
htorage yards.
A corps of engineers of the Westing'
house, Church, Kerr company is eiv
gaged in sinking test pits' at various
points on the tract with a view of
locating the foundations for the big
engines and other machinery of the
power house and shops. As soon as
the ground is cleared, the work of
erecting the new company's buildings
will be started.
Ferry Service of Its Own.
The Lackawanna l.iilroad has noti
fied the Hoboken Ferry company that
the contract for the transportation of
passengers, freight, and express of the
railroad by the ferry company will not
he renewed ufter its expiration.
The reason for this step is that the
Lackawanna management believes that
it ought to have a ferry service in the
management of which it will have
some voice, so as to secure better ser
vice for its patrons. It is also under
stood that the Lackawanna desires a
better location for its passenger ter
minals In this city, being especially de
hlrous of securing an up-town ferry
terminal. Under the present arrange
ment the railroad complains of being
at the mercy of a corporation which
has no regard for the convenience and
comfort of the railroad's patrons.
The Lackawanna's passenger, milk,
express, and' other business is very
large, and It is believed that In view
of this a ferry of Its own would prove
a paying investment.
President Truesdale and Traffic Man
ager Caldwell were out of town yes
terday, and it could not be learned
therefore what are the plans or the
road for the future in this respect.

These twenty-live selected Indtistilc lepresent a
total output in one jcar of ?0,117,0O.",71O. Such
stupendous figures arc almost beyond the power of
human coinpiehcnslnn. It may facilitate under
standing of them to say that they mean nbout
.2U,O00,U00 for "every working day in the year, or
about $2,000,000 an hour for each of the ten hours
of a working day. The capital employed In these
twenty-flic induidrlc Is almost equal to the value
of the yearly output. Two and n half million
people mo employed in turning out this great
total, and their wages amount to ni-aily $1,200,
000,000 in u year. The product of these twenty
live bajle industries comprises nbout 50 per cent,
of all the manufacturing output In the United
States. Chicago Hccord-lfcrald.
The nnrpim of Statistics reports of c.poits of
mnnufictuic during both Januaiy and February
sJiow a rleilded increase ocr the corresponding
months of 1001, the gain in the two months in
tue"tlon being more than three million dollars
oicr the same months of the preceding year. The
exports of manufactures in the twenty-eight dajs
of February were $31,740,842, against TO,302,5's2
in February, 1901. In practically all aitleles ex
cept iron and steel there has been a complete ic
covery from the temporary check In export of
manufictmes noted a few months ago. Cupper
exports, for instance, in Fehruary of this jcar
neie H,2W,801, .".gainst ?3,155,774 in Fehruaiy,
1001, Exports of refined mineral oils for the eight
months end'ng with Fehruary, 1002, are 44,669,
097, against $41,880,021 in the coriesponding
months of the preceding year. Een iion and
steel rxports show a marked improvement, the
total foi the month of February being $7,338,200,
against ?7,MU,21S in February. 1001, and $3,549,
157 in Febmaiy, 1000. Tor the eight months end
ing with February, the exports of iion and t-tecl
manufactures arc $6,66S,42I, against $31,.'75,685
In the corresponding months of the preceding
j ear. Manufactures of cotton show an inere.io of
nine millions over the corresponding peiicd ot
last year; manufactures of leather, an increase of
two millions; paraffin, which a few months ago
showed a decrease, now shows a gain of nearly
two millions out the coircsponding montliH of
last year, while in nearly an nr the other im
poitant manufactured .11 tides expoited, there are
gains over last jcar. The total exports of maim
farturts fall, for the eight months ending with
February, but twehe millions liclow thoie of the
same months of last year, while the fact that
nunufactuics of Iron nnd steel alone are seven
teen millions less than in the eight months nf
last jcar, shows that in other articles theic has
been a decided gain.

to connect with the Wabash nnd to build mi out

THE MARKETS
Wall Street Review.
New York, April 3. The flrangef and Trans
continental railroad stocks developed surprising
animation and buoyancy within a few mlnutea
of today's closing dealings In stocks, and were
rushed up in a sensational manner,. which pre
cipitated an eager scramble amongst tho bears
to cover, thus accentuating the rise. 'Prcvlmls
to that time the character of the market had
been much tho same as IJnt prevailing for a
long time. There was a rather notable demand
for St, Paul but not greater than consistent with
tho recent tactics of professional pools in sup
porting some one leading stock for effect on the
rest of the market. Ihe general Hat continued
neglected and Irregular, with obvious profit
taking going on In some ot the storks which
were stiongest yesterday or In the Immediate
past. Tho great mass of securities made no per
ceptible movement either way. About midway
uf the session there was a fairly comprehensive
upwaid movement in the Vandcrbilt clocks,
rthlcli seemed to be prompted by the persistent
strength of the Chicago and Northwestern and
C hlcago, St, Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha stocks.
The most conspicuous movements were in stocks
of minor lalhoad companies which might bo
available for alworptlon by larger nxstents or for
combination into competitors with the larger
sjstcms. There were new points of strength also
ilc v eloped amongst the small Industrials which
arc usually little heard of in the stock market,
In some cues by reason of the closcmsi with
which llicy are held for Investment purposes.
The demand for Hocking Valley continued very
largo carrying It up 0 points, the pieferred rlsuu
3U, Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling W, Kan
awha and Michigan 2?i and Ann Arbor pre
ferred 4. These stocks seemed to be influenced
in sympathy. The New York Dock stocks 101c
about fi points each. American Telephone and
Telegraph advanced 1015 on the reported largo
Increase in the instruments outstanding. There
was n long list of gains running fiom a point
or more some ot which were sinmly recoveries
from depiesslon of jestcnlay. At the same time
Amalgamated Copper, Colorado Fuel, United
States Leather prcfened nnd the minor steel
stock.! were utlicr acutely depressed by iiulizing
sales. When St. Paul leached the litter stages
of Its advance it encountered blocks of oficiings
running up to 7,000 shares, but rose steadily
through them nil to lofCsi. The stock closed
pt.ictlc.illy at the lop with n gain of 4 points.,
Chicago and Northwestern shot up 714, the pre
feired 1114, Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Omaha 11 and tho prcfened 4. It was not until
within fifteen minutes of tho ilose that these
movements produced ny appreciable effect on
the general niaikct. At tliat time the Pacifies
and Southwcsteins gcneinlly spurted up from
1 to 2 points over l.it night. The miikct closed
very active and generally strong, though the re
sponse had not been notable outside of the stocks
mentioned and some of the speeialties continued
tu diop. Time was no tliingc In "l0 general
conditions ami ting tho speculative situation.
Total sales today, 701,300 shires. Tho bond
rn.ulict was not vcrv active but theic was a well
distributed demand. Totil sales, par xalno. $V
020,000. United Stales bonds were nil in
changed on the la-t call.

can fool some of the people all of the time, and
all of the people some of the time, but you can't
fool all the people all the time," said Lincoln.
If we didn't give the people as much, or
more, for their money than cash stores, this
increase of business could never be recorded.
We advertise only for new trade, our old trade
