The Admiral Anchor Co., Chester, Pa., has received an order for thirty-nine of the Admiral type of stockless anchors for use on steam- ships of the great lakes. This order alone includes a weight of over ninety tons of anchors. There are eighteen 4,000-lb. anchors, fifteen 5,000-Ib. anchors and six 6,000-lb. anchors in the order. The Admiral Anchor Co. has orders on its books for about eighty anchors, weighing in the aggre- gate about 200 tons. Among the notable orders is one for the great anchors for the ships building at New London, Conn., for the Great Northern Steamship Co.

In a circular dealing with Wilford's waterproof cloth, for which he is agent in the United States and Canada, Edward A. Bunker of No. 20 Broad street, New York, refers to the following concerns that are using the material: Red Star line, American line, Southern Pacific Co., Murray & Co., Chicago, Union Pacific Railroad Co., St. Louis & San Francisco railroad, A. W. Hepburn, Picton, Ont.; Standard Oil Co. (on lighters) ; Union Iron Works, San Francisco; J. .C. Goss & Co., sail makers, De- troit; the Sunde & Erland Co., Seattle; John Mair & Son, sail makers, Philadelphia; Howard H. Baker & Co., sail makers, Buffalo; and George B. Carpenter & Co., sail makers, Chicago. The claim made for this cloth is that it is impenetrable by water, salt or fresh; that it is soft, light, strong and durable, will not crack like cotton cloth and has none of the objections that are found in cloth treated with paraffine, oil or paint. It is very light in weight and still said to be water repellant and to have nearly double the strength of cotton. The Marine Iron Works, station A, Chicago, have just issued a new 48-page catalogue descriptive of their product, which they will send free on receipt of request. A separate pamphlet issued by the same company. devoted especially to "'River Navigation" (shallow water stern whee! boats), will also be included if asked for. [March 97, -- --$$--____.
