FIRE AND WATER
THE management of our Western office, which is at 202 La Salle street, Chicago, has been placed in the hands of T. R. Tinsley, who is well known to the readers of FIRE AND WATER through the many interesting articles that have appeared in these columns from time to time. Our friends in the South and West, and others interested in fire department and water-works supplies, are directed to the Chicago office, which will at all times be prepared to respond to matters identified with such service.
THE list of factories and mills announced in the reports of September 20 as having resumed r operations in whole or in part after several weeks of idleness, includes silk and cotton mills, car works, glass factories, iron and steel works, etc., employing many thousands of workmen and located in a number of States widely separated, giving reason to believe that the general industries are everywhere reviving, and that there is every prospect that by the first of October business generally will have resumed its old-time activity. It is also announced that trade between New York and the South has picked up remarkably within a few weeks, and the prediction was freely made that the amount of the year’s trade with the South would come almost if not quite up to the usual aggregate. The only drawback to the general business of the country at present is the delay in settling the silver question.
