P-TT THE MINERS STEIKE Will Seriously Affect the Production of Southern Pig Iron. BOOKING OP STEEL KAIL ORDERS. Almost Impossible to Secure Any Kow for Immediate Delivery. STATE OF TKADE ACROSS THE WATER rsrxczjLX. txlxobax to th DisrATCH.1 New York, July 3. The iron Jga of this date quotes the following: American Pig The market has been very quiet during the week, the only feature being the 'lessening influence of Southern iron which have been sold heavily during the past month or six weeks in the "West, and are pressing less in this quarter. The miners strike, which affects all the free labor in the coal mines of the Birmingham field,wlll cut down production very sharply, the only company not affected being the Tennesee Coal, Iron and Railway company, so far as the production of pig iron in Birmingham is concerned. For some time past some of the Northern irons have led the market in this vicinity. Forge iron, of standard quality, has sold this week at ?15, delivered, while No. 2 has sold at 16 and No. 1 at ?17 5017 75. We quote No. 1 Northern Iron, 117 501S 50; No. 2 J1G17. and Southern Iron No. 1. $1717 SO: No. 1 soft, S16 5016 75, and No. 2, ?1G16 25. Spiegeleisen and Fcrro So far as 20 per cent spleceleisen is concerned the market is exceed ingly dull. A somewhat sicnificant transac tion is the resale abroad of a lot or 1,000 tons of Herman Spiegel at figures better than any which could be realized in this market. Nom inally quotations here are S30 5031 00, In ferro a moderate amount of business is being done at 72 5075 00 for 80 per cent, according to time of delivery. Billets Western makers report that they are in receipt of quite a number of inquiries from Eastern points which they interpret as mean ing that Eastern mills are closely sold up. There can be no question that the majority of Eastern mills are holding at figures equal to parity of Western prices, and in some cases about that. Still S3z can be done easily, and it is reported that 11 50 might be accepted. Wire Rods The strength of the Western mills is reflected by higher asking prices on tho part of Eastern works who quote 13 0UJ3 50 at seller's milL With a decline m Germany, and the advance here, the markets are approaching one another and at least so far as the seaboard is concerned we are approaching; the dancer line. In Germany banic roas can now be pur chased at 1 15 marks per 1,000 keg for nves. This would make the cost of foreign about 46 O0S16 50, cx-ship. Steel Rails The only sale of any magnitude is a lot of 10.000 tons to the Manitoba road by an Eastern mill at private terms. The Eastern mills, and, so far as can be learned, those in the West are so well booked for July and August that it is practically impossible to place orders for the former month, and very difficult for the latter month. For these two months the mar ket is decidedly strong. Little fall work has been placed thus far outside of the contracts taken sometime since for deliveries beginning on the summer running along through the fall. IMPEOVEMENT IK ENGLAND. The Speculative Demand for Pis Iron Baa Been Decidedly Improved. rSr-KCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! NEW Yobk. July 3. The Iron Age of this date quotes the following report on the British metal markets from London: Scotch warrants have advanced to 46, under the influence of increased purchases, due in part to larger demand from the Continent for makers' brands, and more inquiry from Amer ica. Cash warrants appear to be momentarily scarce, as late buyers are reluctant to sell. This causes some uneasiness among the "bears," some of whom have cov ered their recent short sales. Cleveland war rants are also Better, having been sold np to 43 3s, and makers' iron is moving more freely. Hematites remain at about 51 9s however, in the absence of improvement in the demand for consumption. Ironstone miners' wages have been reduced 10 per cent, which coupled with a dron in coke, leduces tho cost of manufacture of rfc iron considerably. Dealers report an Im ripJ3Cnt in the demand for old material, rails more particularly, and the market is showing a hardening tendency. There is Improvement in the demand for steel rails, and the market is firmer at 4 17s GJ5 fur standard sections. However, the cost of production in some dis tricts is above present selling prices and makers are discouraged. The Forest Works at Pontypridd arc about closing, owing to lowness of prices. Copper speculation has been flat and prices for merchant bars have receded to 57 15s. Tho change is attributed chiefly to the uncertain position of continental holders. Demand for home consumption continues good, as also that from India, and statistics continue favorable. Visible supplies have decreased 8 500 tons during the month. Sales of furnace material the past fortnight include 200 tons anaconda argentiferous matte on private terms. Tin prices have been erratic and varied as much as 40s during the week, sales having been made Tuesday at as low as 92 15s. Heavier supplies are partly the causo of ibedrop, this fact having caused operators to tire of their holdings and realize. There has also been ap parent forced sales with a view to depressing the market in order to buy cheaper later on. Makers are firm on prices for tin plate, but business has been moderate and orders are scarce. Makers refuse to negotiate on other than short date contracts. The American de mand has lessened, but improvement is ex pected on the settlement of the tariff question. American Manufacturer's Cable Quotations.

General Feeling of Confidence Prevnlli In the Scottdnle District Work Inter fered With Somewhat by the Hill Farm Disaster. fSPXCIAI. TELEOBJLX TO TUI DISPATCH.! SCOTTDA1.E. July 3. There is no material change in the condition of tbo coke market lor the past week as compared with the previous week. The same goodjfeellng that a summer depression will not disturb seems to exist. The demand Is about the same. Shipments last week decreased slightly, but it was adduced by no scarcity of orders but a defect in the forces of workmen at the various plants. The Hill Farm calamity caused unparalleled excitement and many of the cokers rushed to the rescue and volunteered their assistance, thereby lessening the working forces. The numerous works in the immediate vicinity of the disaster have been totally unable to. work in full since its occurrence. In this way the output was retarded and shipments suffered consequently. The works are running to a better advantage this week and an im proved showing is expected. The intervention of a holiday may interfere slightly with the week's showing. , Last month was a good one for coko trade. Shipments increased over 45.000 tons. The im provement was general and was the first to give operators encouragement since the big month of January. Almost every week found the shipments Increasing. Transportation was good throughout, the car supply being especial ly Cood. Several plants that bad closed down for three months resumed. Coke prices, at 215. 2 45 and 2 65 were well sustained, a here was little shading, if any, on circular prices. The condition of the furnaces are about the same. Thev are all taking coke. fchipments last week averaged 1.016 cars per day a against 1.074 cars of the week previous. There as a decreae of 100 cars in Western shipments and a diminution of 140 and 100 cars in Pittsburg and Eastern shipments respective ly. The shipments were consigned to tne va rious points ot consumption, as follows: To points west of Pittsburg. 8,500 cars; to Pitts burg and river points, 1,500 cars, to points east of Pittsburg. 1,100 cars; total, 6,100 cars. For the preceding week the record is as follows: To points west of Pittsburg, 3,600 cars; to Pitts burg and river points. 1,040 cars; to points east of Pittsburg, 1,200 cars; total. 8,440 cars.

An Unnsuolly Active Demand for Brick for Paving Purposes. It is well known that fire-brick of common grades are coming to be very popular for pav ing purposes. So great has been the demand of late that it is next to impossible to fill or ders. A large number of the towns and cities in this vicinity have adopted fire-brick for pav ing purposes. Butler has this Reason laid two miles ot this pavement on us thoroughtares. Wilkinsburg, Braddock, Sharpsburg, Greeus burg and a number of our other neighboring cities have been sending in orders of late. Last season 21 miles of this pavement was laid in Philadelphia, and supplies were all sent from Pittsburg. This season an equal demand is expected from that city. The tire-brick trade was never better than it is now. The demand from mills and furnaces for high grade brick is unusually active. All dealers report a very c tive trade and a great difficulty meeting the wants ot their customers.

Business men are as patriotic as other people, and to-day they will give up almost entirely to the iestivities and rejoicings in cident to the ever glorious Fourth of July. A Bhadow fell upon the street when it be came known that N.

Every other form of op position failing, they will fight it in the courts. , Investments in real estate are keeping the surplus cash of Pittsburg within reasonable limits.

Homo Securities Exhibit Enough Backbone to Comfort Holders Fair Trading. Yesterday was Fourth of July on the Stock Exchange and the boys got rid of their surplus enthusiasm by discharging firecrackers and singing snatches of patriotic airs.

OH Hangs Around Ninety Pittsburg Well Londedf but Confident. The local oil crowd expected a big market yesterday were disappointed. It opened in good shape at 90, and soon moved up a frac tion, then weakened off a trifle, and hung around 90 the rest of the day, closing steady at that figure, with sales of about 50,000 barrels. Oil City and Bradford shipped in considerable cash stuff, which was promptly taken off the floor and put in bank. Pittsburg is carrying a petty heavy load, but expects to come out all right, as the market seems to be turning in her favor. The ranze was: Opening. 90Ji; highest, 90K: lowest, 80; closinc, 90.

ALMOST PEATDEELESS. Dullness nnd Stngnntion Reign Supreme In Wall Street Mudden Drop In Cot- ton Oil Cortillcnles the Only Event of I lie Day. New York", July 3. In the stock market to day the dullness, which has been the great feature of the dealings for the week, made further progress, aud the day's transactions were even smaller than those of yesterday, while there was even less feature to the trad ing. In the railroad list dullness and stagna tion reigned supreme, and not a single fluctua tion of Interest took place. The only movement commanding attenticn was the sudden drop In Cotton Oil certificates, which was caused by the publication yesterday of a story about changing the trust into a corporation. Open ing at 29. it declined to 27& but rallied to 26. The new stock sold at 26, and was after ward offered at 24. but the best bid on the floor at the time was 20. No sales were effected at less than 24, howover, and the flurry was soon over. Borne trading in New England marked the afternoon's dealings, and a slizht fractional advance carried it above. But no other movement worthy of comment took place during the entire session. The atti tude in the street is a waiting one on both sides and while the bulls are inclined to feel confi dent that the July disbursements will oil tba wheels of speculation, and a more active and higher market is predicted after the holidays, the bears are watching the railroad situation with more Interest and will undoubtedly seek to make capital out of any failure to come to an agreement. The Central Traffic Association having failed to settle the dressed beef ques tion and referred it again back to the trunk line presidents, a case is expected to result from that action which will afford them an op portunity to poiut to the demoralization of railroad rates, and by pressure of short sales get the market down again. The silver legisla, tion now plajs no part in the course of prices and the rise which was caused by the first pros- Sect of it bas about been lost. The buying of lew England extended to Lackawanna, Atchi son and some others In the last hour, and im parted some life to the market which bad been practically dead during the rest of the day, and the close, while dull, was firm at about the best prices which, however, weregenerallyinsignifi cant fractions from those of the opening. Among the specialties the last prices show marked improvement in some cases and Pull man is up 2, Wheeling and Lake Erie pre ferred 1, Now England 1, and Lackawanna 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were more quiet than yester day, the sales of all issues reaching only S726, 000 and the dealings were devoid of feature beyond the rally in the Ban Antonio and Ar kansas Pass 18S6s, which recovered 3 per cent to 75. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and featureless. The Post says: There is a prospect of a legal flght between the holders of the certificates of stock of the American Cotton Oil Company (which was organized for the purpose of ab sorbing the Cotton Oil Trust into a regular cor poration instead of a trust) on the one band, and the holders of about 10 per cent of the old Trust certificates on the other, who not only re fuse to go into the new corporation, but are de manding that suit be begun against the bank, ers and brokers who did the buying and selling ltst year In which the officers of the Trust lost some 600.000 in trying to sustain the prices of the Trust certificates in tho market. -The 1 old Trust certificates have ranged from 8 to I points higher than the certificates of the new stock lor some weeks past,but to-day tbey were both down, the old certificates being l,Iower at 1 o'clock and the new certificates S. In the FRIDAY, JULY 4, last half hour silver certificates advanced IK points on the rumored prospect of the adoption of a sure promise silver bill, which would com pel the purchase of 4,500,000 per month.

One 0! our foremost dealers in dairy trodncts spent the greater part of last week in Trum bull and Ashtabula counties. Ohio, looking np the cheese question. In an interview yester day he said: "I found a variety of views as to thef yield for this season, but nave little doubt from what 1 saw and heard that the cheese crop this season will be above the average in volume. There Is not often so good a season for grazing as this bas been in the Western Reserve. The yield of milk Is unusually large. Some of the factories I visited in Trumbull county are turning out from 50 to 60 cheeses Per dav, and there are hundred turning out rom 30 to 50 a day. That the yield promises to he large this season Is demonstrated by that jobbing prices arc c lower than they were at this time last year.'r Already our markets are feeling the effect of the large output, and prices have fallen off In the past lew aays. .rroaucers 01 oweiizer cheese have been wltholdlng stock in the hope of better prices, and our markets are bare tn this line. There is little donbt, however, that they too will be forced to surrender, and prices will do doubt decline in the next few days. The summer drop has been postponed beyond its usual time, but may come all the more sharply when It does come. Blessing of Sleep.
