Show A Panic in Nails. Pittsbubg, Nov. 3. There is a nail panic in Pittsburg and throughout the West, on account of the nailers' strike. Nails are difficult to obtain at $3.25 per keg, and all that have been sold in this market for the last six weeks have been manufactured in the East. Builders and contractors have been complaining bitterly about having to pay such an enormous price for nails, and in one or two instances work on buildings not urgent has been temporarily suspended here. Both sides are still firm, and an early settlement settle-ment is not considered probable. |
