WIRE RODS GOING UP This is About the Only New Feature in the Metal Situation. THE PIG IRON MAliKET YEEI DULL. Steel Bails Are Still in Moderate Demand at Firm Figures. STATE OF TEADE OYER THE ATLAKT1C ISTCCTAL TELEGRAM TO TJI DISrjLTCB.1 KEW York, July 10. Iron Age, in its issue to-day, quotes the following: American Kg The martet has been dull, the only news of any interest being that the Southern coal operators have reached an tinderst-ind-ing with their men, which puts an end to the incipient strike. Anions the sales noted during the week is one lot of 1,000 tons of charcoal iron, for delivery in this section, on tee basis of $19 50, Buffalo. Wo 'quote Mo. I Northern iron $17 60318 50; No. 2. $16 00S17 00. and Southern Iron No. 1, $17 0017 50; No. 1 soft, $16 50016 75, andNo. 2. $16 OOglB 25. Splegellsen and Ferro Manganese We hear of no transactions whatever, there being no de mand and no pi essnre to sell. We qnote 20 per cent spiegel nominally at $30 00S3O 60. and ferro $72 50g75 00. Wire Rods The domestic market is in a pecnliar condition owing to the temporarily shortened supply. We understand that the Beaver Falls mill is closed down through the Breaking of the engine bed plate. Iowa barb Is idle on account of a strike. The American, at Cleveland. is making some chances in its con tinuous train. Oliver is rarely a seller of rods, and the heat is curtailing the production of Joliet Anderson and New Castle. The result Is that rods are reported to be held stiffly at $41 atVWestern mills, while the last quotation of an Eastern mill was $45 at seller's works. There are two reasons, however, why a Bqueeze is not likely to occur. Some of the wire mills will probably prefer to close down rather than pay advanced prices; and secondly, foreign tods are available. Foreign rods are openly quoted at $46, although some importer claim that they cannot be done better than $47 50S48 00 on the basis of 125 marks at shipping port for German basic. Still we have good evidence that even $46 would be very materially shaded by im porters on bona fide business. Present prices, therefore, will give the importers the tide water market. Steel Rails In the East the market is very quiet, the lamest sale reported being a block of 8,000 tons. For carlv dehverv orders are diffi cult to place, and as high as $32 has been paid for moderate sized lot. For round blocks, early fall delivery, $31631 50 is a fair quotation, although at least one mill is reported to be holding at $32. As the mill in question is pretty full, however, the quotation has no sig nificance, except as the basiswt oracular state ments in the - wspapers. Structural Material No very large contracts have been placed during the week. As an in teresting transaction o may note the taking of a contract by a local firm of all the struc tural work and all the shafting for a large cotton mill in Brazil. We quote: 2.1502.20c for plates. 2.152.25c lor aneles, 2.53.6c for trees and 3.1c for beams and channels. Old dils This market u.is been very quiet, no sales of any consequence having bean reported- The market continnes strong, how ever, at $24 50g25 nominally. Old wheels are nominally $181S 50. Track lastenings The , market for spikes is firmer, owing to the ad vance in raw maxenai, ana ?.(&'z iu acuverea is now a low quotation, the majority of sellers holding at or above the higher quotation. Fish plate remain L75L90c, and bolts and nuts 2.85 ($3c, delivered. AN IBBEGTJLAB MARKET. No Great Change In the Metal Situation Across the Ocean. ntrrciAt telegram to the dispatch.! NewYouk, July 10. The iron Age reports the Brttkh iron and metal markets from Lon don: Scotch warrants have ruled somewhat irregular, selling up 43s Od, and subsequently reacting 4d3d. The improvement early in the week is attributed to outside buying, due chief ly to a belief that the steady drain upon store supplies will lead to higher average prices later on. The ontslde demand, however, is offset at present by bear" pressure. Cleveland war rants have been traded in moderately, but while considered proportionately higher than Scotch, prices haro shown greater firmness, moving upio42s9d 42s 10id. In Hematite warrants there Is little doingauii prices remain at about 61s 94. Mak er's iron generally baB been rather slow and prices are barely steady. Trices for merchant bar copper have receded a trifle in the face of the fact that deliveries last month exceeded the fresh supplies by 9,5iS tons and ihe present nominal stocks, to say nothing of the prospects that supplies will be further reduced in July by the heavv shiuraents yet to be mane of the largo quantity of Anaconda matte told some little time ago. Should French holders refrain from forcing sales, it Is believed difficulty u ill be experienced in Undine sufficient copper to meet deliveries on short sales that have been made by specu lators for forward delivery. There is only a small quantity afloat from Chill. Sales here bave latterly been confined to stock of Ana conda held on French account, some of which is to be reshipped to the United states. Late transactions In furnace material embrace 8.500 tons Anaconda niatlo at lis Cd; 500 tons ditto, resale, at lis 9d; 700 tons Anaconda ar gentiferous on private terms. Tin im proved in price under tho influence of the vast amount awaiting shipment to the United States and statements that the contemplated movement thenco would take 1,100 tons from this market. Threatened scarcity has been averted, however, by more recent movements. Stocks here will hardly allow any considerable reduction, as consump tion is steadily increasing. Tin plates remain very steady, and buyers have been somewhat anxious to plaee orders owing to reduced stocks awaiting shipment. Stocks ac shipping ports now, about 861,000 boxes, against 312,000 boxes a year ago. American Manufacturer's Cable Quotations.

TELEGRAM TO THE niSPATCIt.t ECOTTDALE, July 10. The condition of the coke trade is still healthy. The months of July and August are noted for the suspension of furnaces on acconnt of needed repairs, and al ready several large consumers have banked their furnaces. The encouraging condition of the iron trade with the demand for tho same will, however, materially assist trade In the coke region. Furnacemcn will have their furnaces re paired as quickly as possible and put in resump tion, so as to catch some big orders. A marked decreasein shipments has occurred during the last three weeks, but it has caused no alarm ana i one of the noticeable features of trade at this stage of the year. The fall trade will be good, as several large furnaces now being erected will be in operation. No operators are complaining of the present de mand for coke, and will be well satisfied if it keeps up. With some companies ordersare seemingly on the increase, instead of decline. Over 200 ovens at the mammoth plant of the Frick Coke Company, which have been out or blast for over three months, were lighted up yesterday. The same company has the Trotter, Standard and Valley plants in full operation iTho car supply was a little short last week, but a s nfficient supply is assured this week. Otherwise transportation was all right Prices are still the same with no likelihood of a change until September or October, when the fall trade opens up. An operator said yes terday when spoken to about prices, There will hardly be a change in prices. We antici pate no change at least from our standpoint The present prices may rule for the balance of the year. a . .. The restriction policy was used to the same extent last week as in preceding weeks. Five days predominating. The shipments last week, while not so largo as the previous week, were quite fair. Ship ments per day averaged 9S4 cars against 1,016 cars of the week before. Western shipments decreased 200 cars and Eastern shipments diminished 250 cars. Pittsburg shipments in creased 308 cars, but not enough to overcome the decline in Eastern and Western shipments. They were distiibuted to the points of con sumption as follows: To points west of Pitts burg. 8,300 car-; to Pittsburg and river points, LtsOO cars; to points east of Pittsburg, 850 cars; Totals, 5.9o0 cars. This is tho record for the previous week: To points west of Pittsburg, 3,600 cars; to Pittsburg and river points. 1,500 cars: to points east of Pittsburg. 1,100 cars; total, 6.100 cars. Leisennng No. 2 plant, of 500 ovens, is idle on account of repairs. The Youncstown plant of 210 ovens is still idle. Therere nearly 4,000 Idle ovens in the coke region. The Charlotte Furnace, consum ing the output of the Fountain Coke Works, closed to-day.

The East End Syndicate Giving Ob ject Lessons in Architecture. IMPROVING THE PUBLIC TASTE. Speculation Still Halting With Stocks Steady and Petroleum Weak. THE SEWS AND GOSSIP 'OP THE CITI Something better than mere money-making is involved in the real estate transac tions in the vicinity of Schenley Part, to which attention has been treqnently called in this column. Said one of the agents of the syndicate yesterday: "These deals have not been inspired by pnrelv mercenary motives. The gentlemen composing the syndicate are liberal-minded and progress ive. They are Pittsburgers through and through, and take great pride in contributing to the natural advancement of the city. One of their objects is to assist in building up around the park, and wherever they have acquired land, model settlements, which will be a credit to the city. Buildings will be of a high class so far as possible, though not beyond the reach of people of moderate means. New ideas in architecture will be Introduced. This jrill Improve the public taste and educate the young. A well-built house is an object lesson. Time was when any kind of a bnllding was con sidered good enough for Pittsburg. Not so now. The city has passed through an archi tectural revolution within the past few years. Fine, handsome houses have become the rule where not long ago they were the exception. This departure has Increased the prestigo of the city and attracted population and capital. 'The East End syndicate are working on this so far as they aro able, and hope to be the means of largely increasing the public appre ciation of chaste architecture, whether on a large or a small scale. Good taste can trans form a cottage into a thing of beauty; want of it will spoil a palace. By cultivating a taste Tor the beantlful in the construction of our homes, Pittsburg will In a few years be in a position to justly lay claim to being the handsomest city in America." RnMnesa KfWi imd Goaslp. The grading of the Braddock road has started a good demand for lots on that thoroughfare, and a number of fine lots are talked of. The Chicago Journal of Commerce says in a confused sort of way: "The Stenbenville, Pa.. Iron and Steel Company's plant is to be re moved to McKeesport In that State." It may be all right in its figures, but in geography it is decidedly opaqne. Mr. J. M. Miller, agent for 'Wilson Brothers, reports the sale of over 75 lots to date, in Men delssohn, since the plan was opened a week ago. Several important improvements will soon be under way. About 50 per cent of the mortgages this season are for purchase money and improve ments. This shows a healthy condition of real estate, and is encouragement to intending pur chasers. An East End broker has been hunting for a large manufacturing site for several days, hut has not succeeded in finding one "to suit The parties for whom he Is acting must be hard to suit. It was stated yesterday by a gentleman who presumably knows, that the Equitable Insur ance Company has given np the idea, tempor arily at least, of erecting an office building in this city. But thlsmay be a blind to enable the company to securea site at lower figures. J. a Larkin is In Chicago closing up a deal of about four acres. He represents Pittsburg capitalists. The Bridgewater Gas Company will hold its annual meeting at Rochester. Pa., July 21 for the election of directors and other business.

The active stocks yesterday were Electric, Central Traction and Philadelphia Gas, out of a list of 174 properties, each representing a sub stantial interest and most of them in good shape. This demonstrates -that the buyer is not conspicuously abroad. Sales were 80 shares in five lots, There were no price changes of importance. Westinghouse Electric was fractionally stronge?. selling in a small way at 36J4 against S8 the previous day. It closed at S6li bid. The stock is said to be in strong bands and will not be sacrificed.

Wall Street Closely Walchlnc the Flnanelnl Pinch In Sonth America Bears Drnw lng Comfort From tho Railroad Slinntlon Stock. Fcntnres. New Yoke, July 10. Th stock market Is still awaiting developments, especially as re gards the monetary possibilities as affected by the financial straits of the Argentine Republic and Uruguay, whose disasters are expected to be reflected here through London. Tho bears are now working this point to get up a gold shipment The failure ot the governors of the Bank of England to raise tbelr minimum rate of discount this morning shows that there is not the scarcity of money in the English cap ital that they would bave us believe. At the same time the scarcity of bills offering in the exchange market seems to bave no other ex- lanation than the recent selling of stocks for rondon account The railroad situation also gets considerable attention from the bears. At the same time the railroad earnings continue to show the most satisfactory returns, and the St Paul for the first week in July returns an Increase of $38,129 over those ot last year. The Chicago bears, however, are selling the stock on the theory that there will be no no dividend on the common stock this fall, and that the June and July net earnings will both show a decrease. The final passage of a sliver bill will, in all probability, fail to create a boom immediately, but that there will be a more healthy advance than followed the first effort to pass a bill ad mits of little doubt To-day's market was a re action from the unnatural depression of yester day, and in some directions exhibited more real life tban has been seen for some weeks, but the general list exhibited a steady harden ing tendency after the first effort at depression had been given up, which was very gratifying to the bulls. London was a factor in the early rise, but tnrned seller on tho improvement and aided In bringing abont a reaction, but the selling orders were soon filled and the upward movement again made headway. St Paul and Northern Pacific preferred were prominent In the early dealings, but later New England, the trusts, Lackawanna and the Grangers in general were the leading features. Just before the close, however, Messrs. Kidder, Peabody fe Co. en gaged $1,000,000 for export and precipitated a selling movement which reached all portions of the list and a large proportion of the material gains were lost, the market clusmg weak at the concession. Most ft the list are higher to night however, and Chicago Gas andLacka wanna are up 1 per cent each. Railroad bonds shared to a limited extent in tho new strength of the stock, and while tho great majority of issues traded in were nothing more thn steady, a few show material gains this evening. There werj no special features, though the dealings reached $953,000. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dnll and firm. The Post says: So far as the money markets and the South American panic are concerned, the unfavorable condition can almost be only temporary. There can scarcely fail to be an unusual amount of money seeking new specu lative investment before the end of this month. The Granger roads are still trying to come to some agreement, and will probably do so; but even if they do not make a very decided suc cess of it, their stocks (especially St. Paul) have bepn pretty largely oversold and there is now sufficient, outstanding short interest to help advance their prices with other stock upon any general improvement in the speculative temper of the market Except the possibility of ihe exports of some gold within the next week, everything in the general situation looks favorable for better prices fur stocks, and even it a few millions of gold should go out the exports have thus far this year been so light that they can easily be spared. idc following table snows tne prices or active stocks on the New ork btock Exchange yester day.

A representative of one of our leading fire brick manufacturing firms said yesterday: 'Since the iron boom last fall we have had all we could do to meet orders, and in some in stances have been compelled to turn away customers. The high grade fire brick used in furnace linings has not been in supply equal to demand for the past eight months. The re quirements of the Edgar Thomson works alone run into the millions. Onr trade is in close sympathy with iron and steel. The de mand for fire brick increased so much last fall that we bave not been able to catch up to or ders. Our company has had no occasion to go out after customers the past year. Trade has come to u. We will soon have a capacity of .20.000.9CO fire brick annually, and from present demand and outlook have little fear of' being able to dispose of onr product" Berry Benson Short. Among the surprises of this season has been the shortness of opportunity furnished to pre servers of fruit When a more convenient sea son for buying strawberries was awaited the supply suddenly and unexpectedly waned. A week ago raspberries and blackberries were abundant and cheap, andagaln the opportunity was missed. Aprodnce dealer said yesterday that be pressed berries on to customers last week at 6c which are now firm at 12c per quart The best time for laying up berries has gone by. Condemned Fruila and Yegetnbles. Colonel Kilgore, Inspector of Fruit and Veg etables in Diamond Markets, reports that in the month of June S3.2S4 worth of stuff was condemned and consigned to the garbage pile, against 1,800 worth for the month of May.

The small amount of freight from down stream was taken off without muoh ado. The river is still falling slowly, with no pros pects for a rise in the immediate future. Re ports from upriver indicate a continuance of low wator for some days yet The Cincinnati boats' freight bad to be transferred to a flat barge down the river to enable it to get in with the passengers. To-day will effectually wind up business on this end of tho river for some time. Work was commenced on raising the wlckots at Davis Island yesterday and by to-night they will be up. The mark at the dam registered 8 feet 8 inches at 5 P. SL last evening. 'By noon It is ex pected that thero will be six feet more nT water above the dam. The marks showed 22 Inches last night. It is expected that the raising of the wickets will put at least eight feet in this pool. Thero were universal expressions of sorrow over the death ot Captain N. J. Blgley among the river men. Every person who knew the captain was eager to tell of bis good traits. The flags on all boats were lowered to half mast when the news of bis death reached the wharf yesterday. AitnrVALS. James G.
