Industries. The m.M notable 

 feature of the year wa< the steadily increasing pro- 

 duction of iron notwithstanding the strike of the 

 liituminous coal miners in western Pennsylvania, 

 Ohio. Indiana, and Illinois, which Ix-j^an early in 



ami ended S.-pt. l.~. This trouble restricted 

 the supnly .f c..al. and it was therefore embarrass- 

 ing to t fie iron industry. Tin- production increased 



164,064 tons per week in .Inly t-. v.'-jri.u-j.i tons 

 in December. Prices were not high, and though 

 there was a recovery from the low figures early in 

 the year the rie was gradual. The steel-rail pool 

 collapsed in February, causing a fall in steel rails 

 from $25 to $15 per ton. and at the end of t li- 

 the pric- was $!'.. Condition* in the cotton-. 



isfactory. CotujM'tition of Southern 

 manufacturers and an excess of production rau^-d 

 an accnmnlation of st^-ks. and at the end of the 

 yew there was a suri.lus,,f about 2.00().00() pieces of 

 print doth* at Fall Kiver,1fam .Manufacturers of 

 fin.r lines of goods suffered from decreased ooa- 

 sumption. this being largely due t. the ability of 

 consumers, by reason of the more pn>s|erons times, 

 to bur more r-r*tlv &\* of diffen-nt material than 

 cotton. The woolen manufacturers generally prof- 

 ited byth. riff, but early in the season they 

 had to comfwte with the large foreign supplies 

 which were imported before the Dingley bill went 

 into effect, 



are* for the yr-ar 1 *97 were 18,000 in numl*>r. 

 against 15,112 in 1H96. The ]>rcentage of assets to 

 liabilities was 54*4 percent, in 1!7 and 50*9 per 

 cent in 1896 and 65 per cent, in 1898.
