TI1IOUM TO THE PISPATCI1.1 Birmingham. Ala June 13. The Iron trade continues active this week, with a steady flow of orders for immediate delivery. Tho sales for the past seven days amount to nearly 20,000 tons, and all of It is for June delivery. The continued rush of orders basnatarally caused a stiffening of prices. Furnaces with little stock on hand and those that have most of their output for this month sold are asking an advance of 50 cents per ton on No. 1 and No. 2 foundry iron. If trade continues good an other week No. 1 foundry cannot be bought for ie-93 uiau C40 l. o. u. at lurnaces ana iso. z lor fl2. These figures arc asked for July delivery in iane 1015 ana evennigner prices are asked by several concerns. Twenty-two of the furnaces in this district are in blast, uneof the big furnaces at Ensley has shut down for repairs, bnt w ill be ready to go in blast again in SO days. The Iron manufact urers of this district are all confident of an early advance of prices all over tuecountrv, ana they are anxious to accumulate some stock. No orders for delivery in 60 or 90 days in the future are being accepted, and In some cases quotations will not be made for delivery later than July 15. C A. Johnston, of this city, is organizing a company to build two 100-ton coke furnaces at the foot or Red Mountain, a mile south of the city.

Roeers, Brown tCo. say: Activity in all kinds of iron continues in Chi cago and the Northwest. The tonnage of pig Iron orders booked the past two weeks has sel dom been exceeded for an equal period. The demand has been principally for Lake Superior charcoal, the local coke irons and Southern irons. In view of the heavy orders placed and more In sight, it is a little surprising that prices have not shown greater firmness. Southern coke brands are up 50 to 75 cents per ton and firmly held, bnt on other classes of irons the leading buyers have been able to supply their wants on very favorable terms. Considerable carwhtel and malleable Iron has been sold. Ohio softeners are in steady request. Old rails and wheels are higher. The foundries are all bosy and the feeling is generally hopeful.

Brown & Co. say: The week past has been more quiet than Its predecessor. Nevertheless a good amount of business was rounded up. The malleable concerns, car works and agricultural Implement works have been tho heaviest purchasers. Charcoal irons have, therefore, been a more Sromlnent feature than before Large lots of ake Superior charcoal iron were bought for malleable purposes, and it is understood the purchases are not concluded. Prices in charcoal irons, both Northern and Southern, have shaded off silently under the urgent competition for specially desirable trade. This has no bearing on the coke iron situation, as charcoal irons did not decline proportion ately with coke iron. In Southern coke brands there are few off enngs, the furnaces being well sold no. holding for the 50 cents per ton ad vance which buyers are disposed to resist. New York Figures. . New York, June 13.

An Expert Talks on a Subject of In terest to Property Owners. A DISCUSSION OP PAVEMENTS. More Doing In Btocks. bnt Oil Still on the Happed Edge of Uncertainty. THE NEWS AND .GOSSIP OP THE CITI Almost every lot owner is interested in street pavements. Speaking on this sub ject yesterday, Mr. Thomas Iiiggett had this to say: "I see from The Dispatch that the town of Butler is putting down vitrified fire-brick at a cost of SI 73 per square yard. Oil City is taking np cobble stones and substituting briok. Franklin is doing the same. Philadelphia is getting from factories on the Ohio, a short distance below Pittsburg, millions of brick for paving purposes. "Wheeling, Stenbenville, Parkersburg, Bellaire, Little "Washington, Columbus and Cleveland, where there is a great deal of heavy traffic, have miles of brick pavement. It has given thorough satisfaction in all these places, being durable, clean and cheap. "In Pittsburg there seems to be unreasonable opposition to brick as a material for pavements. This unreasonableness can be more clearly dis cerned when the fact is remembered that in comparison with stone or asphaltum, brick, while giving the same or even a greater amount of service, costs only about one-third as much as the others. The opponents of brick pave ment point to Stockton avenne and Union street as examples of the perishableness of that material. They should remember that Stock ton avenne has been paved for six years, and never had one cent spent on it for repairs. Mr. Scully, of the Diamond National Bank, is authority for the statement that brick has done better than any other pavement ever laid on Union street. "Another thing should be taken into consid eration in this connection. Biick manufactured now is far superior in every way to that turned out a few years ago. I predict that all the asphaltnm pavements now being laicf in the East End will be a wreck within three years. The art of mixing asphaltum properly seems to have been lost. For instance, a handful of It, such as is being used on Kegley or Winebiddle ave nue, submerged in water for 12 or 14 days, will become rotten and disintegrated. Such ma terial cannot resist the weather. "In view of these facts, it appears strange that the city authorities will persist in ignoring brick, even on residence streets, and in using material that is far less durable and much more costly." Ruslncss News and Gossip. A second attempt to sell the Collins 4 Wright property, on Second avenue, in the rear of the Central Hotel, was made yesteiday afternoon, but it met with no better success than the first The best bid was $17,500. upon which it was withdrawn. It is held at $50,000. The under standing is that the property will be disposed of at private sale. Gardeners in the outlying districts report vegetables of all kinds in good condition and growing rapidly. Several of the old-time stock speculators in this city are now dabbling in real estate. They say it pays better. Henry Clews & Co. say: "If the present silver bill passes, the power of dictation will remain here, and London will adopt and follow our figures. Silver is one of our crops, and we are benefited by the advance, and in time It may go to a point to be on a parity with gold 16 to 1. This means CO pence per onnce in Lon don and SI 29 per onnce in this country. This was its status in 1873." Two handsome residences at Marlon station are on the market. There has been an active movement in realty there tor some time. Not a single application has been received by the Commissioners for leasing the county build ings.

Second Broker Go Into some other business, I suppose But that won't happen for some time yet Production is sufficient to keep the market going for a while. Lima oil will be listed. This will bo like electricity applied to a corpse, and will keep things moving for a year or two. The end of oil speculation, however, is not far off. This conversation occurred on 'Change yes terday morning, and is rather significant con sidering the source. The market j esterday was almost featureless. Pittsburg, as usual, was rather bullish, but the most of the strength came from Oil City. Trading was unimportant. The range was: Opening, 91: highest 91; lowest and closing, 90i. Thursday's clearances were 32,000 bar rels. There is considerable trouble brewing among ine stocxnoiaers 01 tne uooena un company on account of its President and several others of the company having leased ground in the vicinity of the Straw well on their own account instead of turning over the leases to the com pany. W. H. Straw, the President says he will resign. The Straw well is being drilled into the second pay streak. Thursday it was only doing 200 barrels. Several rigs at Bellevue are completed, and to-day Messrs. Dimickand Boyer will com mence drilling. The Emsworth Co-operative Company's well, on the Courtney farm, is ex pected to come in to-day. and is sbowlntr eood prospects for oil. The Miller well, located on the Keystone farm, is due in the pay streak we ursi 01 next wees. Fcntnrcs of the OH Market. Corrected dally by John M.

A Decidedly Weaker Feeling In Wall Street, Dap to Reports of Tronble In Ger many nnd Shipment of Gold Silver Legislation. New York, June 11 The stock market was again very dull to-day, notwithstanding the activity displayed in a few of the leading stocks, and while tho first inclination of prices was to advance, the market afterward became weak and slowly dropped off to about the low est point The feeling in the forenoon was bullish, and the purchases by commission houses did much to keep the bearish traders in line, and some improvement was made. Later, however, there came reports of trouble in tbe German markets, and while the reports were denied, the sending of $1,000,000 gold to the continent may have had something to do with tbe rumors. -The Impression that gold was to he shipped made its appearance in the afternoon, and nothing could bo hadofanoffi fcial nature until just before the close. The in fluence of the rumor was bad. and was seen in tfie steady drooping of tbe figures. The trans action, it is learned, is made on special orders, and must be at a loss, as cold cannot be shipped now without loss under $4 80 while the highest quotation for bills was $4 SS to-day. ' The market was almost purely a professional one after tbe forenoon was over, and the ab sence of demand, together with tho selling for liondon account in the forenoon, made the traders bearish almost to a man for a turn, and to aid the decline rumors that no silver bill will pass were persistently circulated. The general impression on tbe street however, is that there can hardly fail to be an agreement on this question, and this feeling to-day was backed by advices from Washington which stated that an agreement will be reached before the end of tjbe week. In the early trading Oregon Trans continental was specially strong and gained 1 percent, but In the afternoon the decline was led by Sugar and Richmond and West Pqint The declaration of the dividend on Sagar SATURDAY, JUNE' 14, helped it a little in the forenoon, bnt it was let off rapidly later in the day 'without apparent cause, there being general weakness of the whole list. A statement by the Baltimore and Ohio peo ple that the purchase of the control by the Richmond and West Point was impossible was tbe chief moving force in the decline In tbe stock of tho latter road, and, with the slnele exception of Northwestern, it Is tho only stock in the regular list showing a marked decline this evening. The gold ship ment rumors were used against tbe market in tho last hour and the close was weak, though dull, at about the lowest prices, bnt generally only slightly changed from those of the open ing. The list is almost invariably lower this evening and Sugar is off 1, Northwestern lyi and Richmond and West Point 1 per cent Hocking Coal was conspicuous for streneth during the entire day and is i per cent higher tonight , , Railroad bonds were quiet as usual, and al though there was special animation in tbe Richmond and West Point collateral trust and the Atchison incomes, which fur nished $228,000 and $175,000 , respectively, to the total, neither made any marked movement and while the general tone of the market was stronger than usual of late, the important changes at tho close are very few in number. The sales of all issues reached $1,275,000. Among the most marked advances, Albany and Susquehanna 7s rose 3 to 131, and Norfolk and Western general 6s 2K to 121. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and steady. The J'ott says: There are considerable efforts to create active trading in Richmond Terminal, and for this end the story of the possible con nection of the Richmond Terminal with the control of the Baltimore fc Ohio is revived every day or two. lost evening, in connection with some ambiguous hints about some sort of connection between the Reading, the Jersey Central, the Richmond Terminal and tbe Balti more & Ohio, the first three of these stocks were all marked np Just before the close. There is, however, nothing in the story what ever, as far as the Reading or the Jersey Cen tral are concerned, and in fact nothing so far as the Richmond Terminal is concerned, ex cept that some of the Individuals who ate prominent in the management of the Rich mond Terminal have probably acquired some interest in the syndicate which has bought the control of the Baltimore and Ohio, but it is a Eersonal interest and not in tbe name nor in be all of the Richmond Terminal. Moreover, this personal interest does not control the syn dicate which now controls tbe Baltimore and Ohio. If the Richmond Terminal ever eets control, it will probably be only by paying tbe syndicate 120 to 130 for the 15,100 shares of tbe Baltimore and Ohio stock necessary for control. The Baltimore and Ohio as it now stands is a good investment, and the syndicate who have control of it are quite well enough aware of that fact not to sell it to any other corporation except at a large advance on what it has cost them.

A good Friday is reported by jobbers in this department In front of the Liberty street produce bouses were unnsual signs of activity from early morn well up to noon. Supply of choice strawberries was hardly equal to de mand. Home-grown varieties never came to this market in better shape than those now coming. Old potatoes are practically at an end for this season. Choice new stock is steady. Ohio cheese is coming in plentifully and prices are lower. Swiss cheeses are very scarce, sup ply not being up to demand, and markets are very strong. In ordinary seasons the decline comes two weeks before this time, but there are no signs of a decline as yet Eggs are steady at quotations for guaranteed stock. In tropical fruit lines, bananas are weakest Sup ply is above demand and prices incline to go lower. Oranges and lemons, on tbe other hand, are very firm and tending higher.

Home-grown strawberries are now at their best and will be for a week to come A leading retailer of fruits and vegetables who has been conversant with the trade for a generation said to-day: "I never saw home-grown strawberries as fine as we are having this season. Tbe crop has been larger in other seasons, but never of as fine quality. Growers have discovered that fine fruit brings better returns than large quantities of inferior fruit As a, result the quality of berries raised in this section has been improv ing every year, until we have nearly reached perfection In this line. There are plenty of peo- Jle here ready to pay big for a good article, and am confident that we will have better berries to offer for the next few days than ever before, and that supply will not be np to demand as re gards choice fruit." Home grown cauliflower and peas are on the Diamond market stalls for the first time this season within a few days.

Tbey Come Forth From Their Graves nnd eilng Familiar Hymns. Bieminoham, Ala., June 13. Near Hillabee, Cleburne county, Ala., may be seen the rnins of a small country church, and near by a little cemetery, plain pine headboards bearing tbe names ot those who sleep in each grave. The place is known as the Hannted Church of Hillabee, and the residents of the neighborhood can not be induced to go near the spot after night fall. About 20 years ago the Hardshell Baptists of the neighborhood built a little log church, and services were held there every Sunday. One Sunday jnst as the services were over a black cloud was was seen approaching with a roar like thunder. Seeing that a storm was coming, the congregation harried back into the church to wait until it subsided. Many of them were badly frightened by the terrible roar, and the preacher, entering the pulpit again, opened a hymn book aud commenced singing that familiar hymn, "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me." The congregation joined in tbe singing, bat their voices were almost drowned by tbe roar of the last approaching tornado. The singers had reached the line of another hymn beginning "Other refuge have I none," when tbe cyclone, (or such the storm proved to be, strnek the church. There was a ter rible roar, a crash, and the song was fol lowed by screams ot agony. The church had been blown down, a number of people killed and many injured. All those killed were buried in the little graveyard near by, and the church wa.;verrebailt. It is said the spirits of the dead come forth irom their graves every night, and gathering at the spot where the little church stood, they sing again the old hymn. "Rock of Ages, Cleit for Me." A SEEI0DS PRACTICAL JOKE. A Philadelphia!! Abroad Driven Insane Thronah Excessive Fear. Cadillac, Mich., June 13. Thomas Colsgrove, of Burlington, N. J., and his cousin, William Colsgrove, ot Philadelphia, left the latter's home last Sunday to visit an uncle in tbe Upper Peninsula, Tbey reached Sadnaw, Ontonagon county, in safety, where they bad to change cars, and were compelled to stay over night at a rough boarding house. Thomas was. given a room alone, and the other boafders. taking him for a -tenderfoot 11 proposed to have some fun with him. They dressed themselves as Ku-Klux, and then chased him out of the house and into the woods. It was morning before he wandered, back to the boarding house, nervous almost to tbe point ot frenzy. His cousin advised him to return home, and they were on their return trip when Thomas was taken sudden ly and violently insane here to-day, and it required two men to hold him. He was taken to Traverse City this afternoon, and had to be put in a strait-jacket to keep him irom harming himself and others. Colsgrove is a bright, intelligent fellow, about 30 years old, and will be returned to his home if he recovers sufficiently to be trusted to the care of his cousin. Yonng Colsgrove's nncle is on his way to meet him and has wired that he will make it hot for those who scared him. WHEH THE TELEPHONE WAS Y0TOO. A Massachusetts Senator Who Could Have Gotten In for 9500. Boston Globe. Sam Roads, of Marblehead, is now a Massachusetts Senator. Some 17 orl8 years ago, when he was quite a boy, a friend came to him and said: "Sam, it yon will raise ?500 1 will take you to an inventor in Bos ton who will give yon some stock that will make yon rich in less than ten years. Ha has devised a way by which a man in Mar blehead may speak with a man in Boston. He doesn't want to give it oyer to some wealthy man, bnt to retain the control of it himself. It's a go, Sam, and yon mnst get the $500. The man's name is Bell." Well, hasn't it been ago? ButMr.Eoads didn't go with it, and yars afterward, when he met his old friend again, the latter piped: "I am glad to see yon have been elected to the Senate, Sam, but I tell you if you had only raised that f500 you could be in Congress now." Even to this day Mr. Eoads' eye never falls npon a quotation of telephone stock that he doesn't drop a great scalding tear. The Evening Bait. Detroit Tree Press.!
