In II YTBW imm IRON TRADE REVIEW. Strong and Lively Home Market for the Finished Products, EAW MATERIAL A LITTLE SLOW. Brokers Expecting a Good Fall Trade and Better Prices. THE SITUATION IK OTHER MARKETS For all finished products markets are strong. Orders are plenty and mills are generally working to their capacity. Muck bar is particularly strong. As to raw iron there is no material change since onr last re port Bessemer iron is quiet at inside quo tations. Brokers report light transactions for the week. The reyival began a little earlier than this time a year ago, and there has been some disappointment that there are no signs of a revival as yet in sight. A leading broker said , to-day: "A year ago at this time trade was active and prices were moving upward. But the fact that we had quite a spurt in Hay and June will account for the present delay. When the upward movement started in Hav most of the manufacturers stocked up well. At present they are carrying light stocks and it is onlv a question of a short time when they will be compelled to re plenish. At present the hand to mouth policy is being pursued by manufacturers. The outlook is good and 1 feel entirely con fident of a good fall trade and better prices." There is a decided improvement in the situation as to manufactured iron the past week, and by the close of the month the im provement will undoubtedly reach raw irons.

TZXXQRAX TO THE DISrATCIZ.1 Philadelphia, August 22. The iron mar ket has been more or less inactive during the past week, prices remaining practically the same. The main local feature of the week was the quick response by the Beading Railroad to the wishes of the manufacturers of pig iron who are located along its route i In the matter of a reduction of rates. President McLecd invited a large number of the principal manufacturers for conference, it being; his desire to get the facts from those directly interested in the trade. The result of the conference was that the Beading made a generous reduction In coal, both in price and rates and on raw materials entering into the manufacture of iron. This action on the part of the Reading was com mended very favorably by the trade. " The snpply of pig iron is large, hut to offset this is a large consumption. Mo. 1 foundry is Felling at 18 00618 25 delivered; No. 2, $16 50 17 00; Gray force, 915 2515 50. Most of the sales that have been made are upon this basis. lu cases, ho ever, where large quantities have been offered a slight reduction has been made. The tone of the maricet is such that a con tinuance of the present quotations may be looked for. There is but little Southern iron sold In this market, home has been offered at 15, but buyers do not take to It. The present output of Bessemer pig iron is beirnr used on old orders. The manufacturers are not inclined to sell a; the old prices. The nominal quotation is about 119 at the -lu"naT. with liberal concessions .for larce orders. The demand for bar iron is almost equal to the capacity of the mill;. The prices are very firm and have a tendency toward advancement. Such is the active condition of the market for skelps that very little new business has been taken. The quoted prices are: L87X GL9tt, sheared skelp 202.25.

The orders have embraced the entire range from No. 1 foundry to white iron of the coke variety and 2o. 1 to No. 5 of charcoal brands. The Southern furnaces are les Inclined to grant concessions Jeither in price or delivery, basing their views upon the large Increase ot iron stocks in the Booth during the past niujtb.

Wheat Irreenlnr nsd Hlher An Early Stamp, Followed by a Bnlly Femr of Frost In the Corn Belt Pork Unsettled. CHICAGO-Wheat-The feeling was very un settled to-day, and prices fluctuated frequently within an irregular and higher ranee. At the start the market was firm and first sales made at KeJsC above yesterday's closing, but under free speculative offerings sold off rather rap idly lc then rallied lc after numerous fluctua tions and then Jc more rather suddenly, eased off lc and closed about lc higher than yester day's closing. Corn was only moderately active, the pit at times being rather dull with most of the busi ness transacted early in the day. First trades in the speculative market were at ad vance. Influenced largely by frost news, and though no frost was reported in the corn belt last night, there is a prevailing fear that it may come further south before the week is out, and this had a strengthening tendency. There was free realizing on the advance w hich followed the opening, and prices receded JsWiA rallied Jfc on buymg for outside account, ruled steady and closed the same as onjesterday. Oats were traded in fairly, but no especially newfeatures were developed, the market being governed almost entirely by local influences mainly by the coarse of wheat and corn. The chief feature was the buying ot September and selling of October by a large local trader. Prices were confined to a smaller range, and the close showed a slight advance over jester terday. Mess pork Only a moderate business was transacted in the market, ana the feeling was somewhat unsettled and prices irregular within a small range. Trading was mainly In contracts for January and May, the former attracting most attention. Offerings were not very large and inquiry only fair. Opening sales were made at 2022c advance, but a weaker feeling was developed and prices receded about 12KQ 15c Later ruled steadier and advanced 67c and closed quiet. Lard A fairly active trade was reported early in the day. chiefly in January contracts. Offer ings were quite free and the demand was fair.

TORONTO LEAYIKQ MONTREAL Speculation Still Quiet, bnt an Easier Feel ing All Along the Line., THE SEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY Mr. D. P. Black, whose return from an Eastern trip has been mentioned, consented to talk a little yesterday about what he saw. He visited Buffalo, Toronto, Montreal, Que bec, Albany, N. Y., Philadelphia and var ious other places. Of Canadian cities he thinks Toronto will be the metropolis of that country by 1900. It is not auite so large as Montreal, bnt is J growing much faster. Qnebec, he thinks is about finished, as there appeared to be more houses than occu pants, as proof of which he noticed a large number of signs reading: "Mansion d'Louer," which he discovered meant, in Pittsburg talk, "House to let." All the American cities visited by Mr. Black, except Albany, show a healthy growth, but are far behind Pittsburg in push and bustle The trouble with Albany is the loss of a great deal of river trade, which was formerly its main support. m Metal Celling a Success. The rapidity with which metal ceilings are coming into use, taking the place of wood, is a matter of special importance to Pittsburg. A step In this direction has been taken by the Government in ths United States army mess hall on David's Island, New York harbor, with complete success. A leading trade journal remarks: "Hereto, fore the extended use of metal ceilings has been limited by the urnateness of design, high grade of skilled labor necessary to satisfac torily erect, and consequent cost. This difli culty has been solved and journeymen carpen ters picked up in New Rochelle, N. Y., who had never before seen a metal ceiling, did tbe Gorernment work referred to. An inspection of the alignment of the mouldings shows them to be perfectly straight,'and how admirably it works with only ordinary labor." To show that it is looked at in th'.s light, a famoos New York firm of architects has speci fied, among the other building materials of one of their great buildings, for 34,000 square feet of this ceiling. Judging from tbe success in the first year of its introduction, acres of tbe ceiling will be used, involving tons of sheet metal, adding another great and growing field for the output of the Iron mills. Business Newa and Gossip. It was stated authoritatively yesterday that the amounts to be distributed among creditors of the Lawrence Bank are as much unknown quantities as ever they were. The percentage largely depends upon the result of the pend ing suits at law. Something of importance in real estate will Boon be heard of in tbe Cdgewood district. Mr. Edwin Powell is preparing ground for another block ot 24 or 25 houses opposite those just completed by him on Beatty street, near Stanton avenue The lot on which the new Pnstofflco stands measures 171x240 feet. The oulldlng covers the entire area. Speaking of early times in the city yesterday, a gentleman who was in business on Wood street at tbe time said the great fire of 1S45 started in some old buildings on the southwest corner of Ferry street. Tbe mortgage list yesterday was the largest so far this month, numbering 43. The two of most importance were for 522,000 and S20.000 re spectively. Twenty-four wero for purchase money. Washington. Pa., people are trying to raise money by public subscription for an electric railway. The chances for success are said to bo good.

Wall street special to Sproul & Lawrence: "We have the highest anthorlty for stating that the Treasury authorities are fully aware of the importance of aiding in the proper transaction of the business of the country by releasinc the funds which are so steadily ac cumulating in the Government coffers. If the plan for the redemption of the 4X per cent bonds does not afford the desired relief, some thing else will be resorted to very shortly." Railroads continue to report Increased earn ings over last month. s Movements In Real Estate. An offer of SlOOafoot for a lot 225x175 on Penn avenne, west of Negley, was made and refused yesterday. This seems to indicate a movement in that locality, which is somewhat in the background. James W. Drape & Co. sold a lot on South Highland avenne. East nd, 25x120 feet to an alley, for 2,725 cash; also closed an interest of Si. 600 In a piece of property adjoining the East Liberty district. Bamuel W.

A Herron & Sons sold lot 59 in A Ken nedy's plan, Twelfth ward, Nunnery Hill, lot 20x90 feet on .Lanark street, for $450 cash. Black & Balrd sold to John Losel for J.

HOME SECURITIES. The Active L!sl Narrowed Down to Ono In terestLuster Stronger. Luster monopolized the attention of the stock traders yesterday. It comprised the active list. Tbe first sale was at 30, the next at SOJi. and the next at 30- It was less active In the after noon, and fell back on a small deal to 80. A broker remarked: "The bulls on Luster seem to have two objects in view to keep up tbe price and do all the selling." The only other transaction was tbe sale of a membership at $430. Absence of business sufficiently shows that the rest of tbe list was dull, but it may be added that it was weak also! There was a little more inquiry for street railways, but previous figures underwent no material change. K1KST SECOND CALL. CALL. 11 A B A P. P., S. AM.

There were few orders for Buckeye, and it was spiritless all thrcngh the session. It opened at the highest and closed at the lowest. The range was: Opening and highest, 85c; low est and closing, 34c Thursday's clearances were 110,000 barrels. Pennsylvania oil was rather more active than the Ohio product, but it, too, lacked backbone. It advanced a good fraction above the opening, bnt weakened on realizing by New York and Oil Cltv and closed at the bottom ranee. Opening, 87c; highest, S7c: lowest and closing.

MONEY KILLED EASIEB. The Stringency Relieved by a StendyDe cllno Considerable Reaction Through out the List The Close Was Qalet bnt Firm. Njew Yrmir. Aumw'.m. 1 "o m.,..... rsemo-azytnere was much less excitement than yesterday, and a material reaction from tbe de pression was brought about, chiefly by cover ing of shorts and London purchases en the prospect of easier money. Money ruled easier throughout the day than onbesterday.but rates were carried in the forenoon to as high as per cent per diem and Interest falling at tbe close to 3 per cent The money question is still the most important disturbing element in Wall street. During the day the sub-Treasury re ceived and paid for abont 82,000,000 bond, and the proceeds were put to good use, sensibly re lieving the stringency, and the rate went down steadily until the close. Tbe opening of the market was very strong on the expectation that something would be done to-day, and advances over last night's figures extended to L per cent in the case of Chicago Gas, with tbe general list from 11 per cent higher. The demand for money, how ever, was still bigh, and tbe bears were disposed to regard tbe prospects as still unpromising, and sold the list oil again fractional amounts, though in few cases were the early advances wiped out. There was liberal covering, how ever, aud the room traders took the long wide again, and London aided In putting the mar ket up on the shorts by moderate ourchases of its favorites. The weak spot In the market was Sugar Refineries, and they fell away nearly 1 per cent, and failed to make good the loss, al though rallying sharply later in the day. or tbe strike there was nothing heard, and it has now been so thor oughly discounted that it has ceased entirely to be a factor In Wall street. The Im provement, when once fairly started made rapid progress and continued nntil late in the last hour, when the gains over last night's fig ures extended to abont 2 per cent. Toward the close some realizations of profits accrued on the day's advance caused a slight reaction in figures, bnt the firm tone was maintained and the tone was quiet bnt firm at close to tbe best prices of the day. Canada Pacific stands alone to-nlgbt among the stocks of the active list in showing a decline, and that is only per cent, but Chicago Gas, Burlington and Heading are each up. 1; Bin Four and Denver and Rio Grande preferred IK each, Atchison and North ern Pacific preferred IK. Missouri Pacific and New England each 1. Lackawanna and Louis ville and Nashville 1 per cent each and others fractional amounts. Silver was stronger, bnt leas active and closed lJo higher. Kailroad bonds are quiet but displayed a firmer tone, and among the active bonds ad vances ate more numerous than losses for the first time in over a week. The sales reached 791,000. Gorernment bonds have been dnll bnt strong. State bonds have been dull ana without feature. Tbe Pott savs: There is no reason to doubt the Secretary's offer to redeem the $20,000,000 4K per cents at par and also to pay tbe whole interest up to the maturity of the bonus Sep. tember L 1891, will bring out tbe lull t20.000.000, aud as a great part of these will come out ot trust companies and other vaults where the capital in them has been kept for security rather than interest, and has, to a considerable extent, been dormant, it will be an Important relief to the money market. In case of any continned stringency the secretary would also, probably, after September 1, prpay tbe $23,000, 000 of one year's interest on the $593,bO0.0O0 uf outstanding 4 per cent bonds. For the time be ing tbe course of the stock market is governed almost entirely by the aspects of the money market.

Expectation ofn Conlboat Rise Ittnkes the Wunrf a Lively Place Bridges That Are Too Low Deaths of Old Bivermen Other Notes From tbe Rivers. Water street was livelier yesterday than it has been for six months. Bivermen were out in front of their offices discussing the probabil ity of a rise within tbe next few days. The ma jority do not want high water jnst at present, as it would depreciate the price of coal, which is lying at Cincinnati and other points, and now commanding fair prices. The river reports from headwaters were eagerly scanned to see if they denoted a continued rise above. Others, who have no coal at Cincinnati, as they read the bulletins had their faces wreathed in smiles, float crews indnlged In reminiscences of previous trips and the possibility of going out again. The Monongahela had a riso of one foot sin ce Thursday night, the mark ing stone showed 7.2 slack water at 8 P. it, with indications favorable for higher water. The recent storms have had tbe most effect on the Ohio. It rose 2 feet and 2 inches since Thurs day night. At 6 P. M. yesterday it was 6.8 and rising. This stage is due to heavy rains on the Allegheny at Parker and Oil City yesterday afternoon. At those places tbe Allegheny is rising rapidly. Tbe pier marks here on tbe AL legheny are nearly the same as on the Monon gahela. business with the up-river packets was very brisk. The afternoon boat was compelled to leave freight behind, as she carried all that could be handled with comfort. i EZat,eth Arrived Germanla, James G. Blaine and lizabetb. Denarted Germanla. for Browns. vllle; James G. Blaine, for Brownsville and Morgantown. Leaving to-day 9.30 A. M., for Brownsville and intermediate landings, Adam Jacobs; 3 p. M., for Brownsville and Morgan town, Germanla; for Geneva and Elizabeth town, Elizabeth. Driftwood. TnE Josh Cook will go down on the rise light.; The Mat Allan Is expected here from Wheeling to-morrow morning. The Elizabeth, Uermanlaand James G. Blaine had good trios out yesterday. Captain Oscab Babbett and his bride left Maysuille for Niagara Falls yesterday. D. J. Farrell will relieve Engineer James Uoskins on the W. N. Chancellor for a few trips. ' 1 ii t vi w cuuuica nom IMS' city left on the Blaine yesterday afternoon, to make the round trip. THE Voyager will take out a light tow of coal and supplies for the Charlie Brown, at Seewlck ley. The Brown will relieve her of the tow there and go on down with It. Colonel SlEitBiLL was a passenger on! the Blaine esterday afternoon for Morgantown, where he goes to look over the river above that place which is to be Improved. Material for repairing the Delta was sent 10 West Brownsville on the J. O. Blaine yesterday afternoon. The Delta was lately sold by Captain W. 11. Brown to Captain Posey, the only colored steamboat owner 01 these waters. Captain Poser was the former owner of the D. T. Watson, and sold hertoParkersburg parties for a good round sum. Caftaik Williah JlADDY died Tuesday night at his home In Huntingdon of heart disease. He was an uncle of X. F. Maddy, commander of the Louis A. Sherley Tbe dead Captain was engaged on the Louisville and Cincinnati packet Thomas A. Sherley at the time of his death. He had a very large circle or friends among rlrermen, who prliedihls friendship highly. Tire many friends of Captain William Patchell here will hear with profound sorrow of his death, which occurred at his home at BuSalo, on the Kanawha river. He was generally known here, lng one of the pioneer pilots. He was the father of John, William, James and Joseph Patchell, all equally well known here from their connection with the river business, 'lhe deceased was the owner and commander or several Kanawha river Sackets. He was one of tbe original salt and coat oat floaters previous to the Introduction of coal boats. Captain Patchell had steered over life's shoals for 70 years, and had many estimable quali ties. The recent accident to the James Q. Blaine, In which four men barely escaped with their lives by being knocked from a swinging platform tied to the Smltbfield street bridge, has drawn Colonel Merrill's attention to the fact that the bridges are being built so low as to make navigation danger ous, and he has called a halt on bnlldlng tbe Ninth street bridge for a few days. He consulted with tbe engineer, and It was agreed that the channel span would be raised by Jacks, temporar ily, to allow the work to proceed, and then It would bo placed at tbe regulation height above the water, which Is .the same as the old structure Even then the bridge will be 18 Inches lower than the others, and It may have to be raised at some future date. If the ship canal were opened by the French creek route it would be next to impossible for boats to come here. When our own cralt cannot navigate the water In seven feet of water on account of low bridges It would be utterly Impossible for lake barges to come here with 20 or 80 feet in the river. A OBUGOISrS PUNISHMENT. Beaten With a Baseball Bat bv nn Info rmed Woman. Mabion, Ind., August 22. At Point Isabel, this county, last evening, lira. Sadie Sizlove assaulted the drug store (owned by Emory Shields and hammered out about $200 worth of satisfaction to her outraged feelings. Shields, in connection with his drug business, deals ont to his customers a very poor quality of whisky. One of tbe most profit able customers of Shields' liquor depart ment has been Emmet Sizlove. The wife of the latter has frequently requested of Shields that he stop selling her husband liquor, but the request went unheeded. Sizlove runs a tile mill. Yesterday he got drunk, went upon the roof of his mill to examine a flue, pitched off head first, and sustained injuries that rendered him unconscious for hours. Last evening Mrs. Sizlove went to Shields' place and demanded $25 damages. The druggist tried to put her oil until to-day. She would not be put oil, and again de- .J,. nWM.H .... . manded the monev. Shields refused. The Infririnto tx-nmnii tliprpninn ep!mri a riasA- - -- - ' 1 -- ball bat that stood conveniently near, smashed the showcase into smithereens, as saulted several rows of bottles on the shelves and played havoc with the assortment of cheap clocks and jewelry that got in her way. The vender of cheap whisky make no resis tance, and when the woman got throngh the drugstore presented a sorry spectacle. Public sympathv is entirely with Mrs. Sizlove, and there will probably be no prosecution. Tbe Nation's Bnnk far Hnvlnes, Allegheny, Has removed to its new banking bouse, No. 110 Federal st.

Coffee loses nothing of its firm ness, and there is a general disappointment among jobbers that packages are so long in turning upward. Options are steadily moving upward in the East, and. according to tbe opinions of those who ought to know, package coffee should advance lc per ft to correspond with the rise of the green article in New York. There are no new developments in staple groceries since our last report. The activity still continues, and general drift is toward higher prices, especially for canned goods, dried fruits and rice.

The features of the week as to the kitchen market aro the sharp advance in dairy prod ucts and reliable eggs. Fancy creamery butter is from 4c to &c higher in a jobbing way than it was a week ago. The advance in butter has had the effect of bringing from its biding places large quantities of oleo. Tomatoes have touched their lowest point this season within a few days and should be tbe cheapest vegetable in the market. The best have been selling at 75o per bushel. Watermelons are also very plenty, and are very much Improved in size and qual ity. The quality of grapes on tbe market has also very much improved, and there was wide room, for those offered so far this season hare been, In the main, of Inferior quality. At the fish stalls the same report heard for weeks past was given, namely, great scarcity ot stock. De mand for Western fish far exceeds supply.

A. Thompson. ISBUidwell Street, All gheny. Mr. Thnmnsnn RriTS" I hflTfl b-Wanfc fArTM'8cniir eararwirTi. what 1 now know, was catarrh, lhad a dull, heavy feeling over my forehead; my eyes were Terr painful, had roaring iu ears, dry nostrils, frequently blow ing pieces of thick mucus from them, throat parched and raw. bad taste in month in morn ing, sickness at stomicb and frequently vomit ing of meals and also a heavy feeling over my heart. My work is that of a tank inspector aC the Fort Wayne shops, Allegheny, and lately these troubles became so severe I had to knock: off work, for when I wonld stoop clown to look under a car I wonld get so dizzy I wonld fall over, and I had such agonizing pains in my bead I thought I wou'd go crazy. My throat became so raw and my voice so husky I conld scarcely talk. Nlht sweats set in. and while I slept soundly, I would get up in tbe morning more tired than when I went to bed, and my legs ached so I could hardly drag one after the other. "I wu induced to consult Dr. Brers, as ha had so much success in cases like mine.and tbe third day after my first treatment the agoniz ing pains were relieved, and In two weeks I was at work again. I haven't a vestige of pain left, and I can eat and enjoy my meals as well as ever I could. Naturally I feel very grateful to Dr. Byers for the great change he has worked in me." IN FAVOR OF HOME TREATMENT. A patient from New Cumberland. W. Va, writes: "Since yon started to treat me my ap petite is rerv good, my back does not pain me near so much, and. In fact, I am beginning to feel like a new roan. The dizzy spells do not come half so often as they did. I am very much pleased to find so much relief in so short a time." TRKATMENT $5 A MONTH.
