IRON TRADE REYIEW. Kothwithstanding Reports of Higher Figures Elsewhere the LOCAL SITUATION IS UNCHAfcGED. A Decided Increase in the Demand for Pi? Iron in the South. THE OTHER HAKEETS EAST AND WEST While advices from the East indicate stronger markets for mill irons, here there is no change in the week past Grey forge iron is a shade lower to the cash buyer than it was a month ago. In the early part of August the consumption of iron dropped off, and stock accumulated for a few weeks. Though mills were crowded with orders they were unable to consume their regular amount, owing to extremely hot weather. Hence, furnaces accumulated stock, and some were ready to shade prices. This time a year apo the upward movement of raw iron was fully on. There are no signs of any up ward movement now, nor are there any signs of weakness. Mills are generally carrying light stocks, and the outlook for a large fall trade is good. Bessemer iron continues slow, contrary to general expectations. iluck bar is very active, and markets show an upward drift. Manufactured iron is in good demand, and prices are well maintained. Blooms and billets are scarcely as strong as tbey were a week apo. Steel rails are quiet owing to competition among manufacturers. Xails are steady and unchanped. The Manufacturers' Association, at its last meeting, reaffirmed prices on wrought iron pipe. The mills are sold ahead and markets are very firm. Kails are steady at old rates. Wire rods are weak, and prices are a shade lower. following are latest quotations: Structural Iron -Angles, S2.I0: tees, 2.55c: beams and channels, 3.10c; sheared bridge plates, steel, 2.5c; universal mill plates.

The Arrival or Fall Has Improved Matters In the East rsnctAi. teleqbak to the bibpatch.i Philadelphia, September 5. The first week of .September has fully sustained the an ticipations of the iron trade as to the re vival of business in the fall. In every branch of the iron business the conditions are excellent and there is a uniformity of activity that is almost surprising. There are no weak spots in the market, nor is there any abnormal activity in any single branch of trade. Business is in a well balanced and steady condition that has not been seen for many mouths. Both production and consumption are well adjusted and there is a steady movement of all iron making material from ore to manufactured iron. The large demand for rolled iron and steel or every description is still the most im portant factor in the market, as the consump tion of crude iron is the greatest in the line of those grades used by rolling mills and steel works. The great actively throughout the country in bridge con struction and building operations creates a lieavj demand for structural material In iron and steel while the car bmlders and pipe makers are consuming an enormous amount of liar and pipe iron. The improvement in the Sig iron market which was noted last eek has een well maintained, although there has been no further increase in the demand during the past few days. The supply of crude iron is nowhere large, and the furnace men are not ensuing sales. The prices now ruling which have not changed for several months past are very firmly held, and the condition of the market is such that any further increase in consumption of pig iron would advance the current figures. The appearance of a few large buyeis in the pig iron market would doubtless have a stimulating effect upon trade to a very large degree. But large orders are far apart this year, the rule being small and frequent purchaser. Recognized brands of Eastern pig iron are still selling at $1S 0U18 50 for No. 1 foundry; $17 for No. 2 foundry, and S15S16 for gray forge. In the bouth the output of nig iron con tinues heavy, and many furnaces are reported as being oversold, especially as regards the better grades ol foundry iron. Bar iron shows no change from its continued activity, except a slight decrease in new business, but this makes no impression on the market, as orders in band cover all the output of the mills for some weeks into the future. For strictly bet refined bars the figure is still l.S5c to 1.95c, with perhaps a tenth off for common grades. The steel rail trade continues steady, hut rather quiet as far as new business is concerned. The mills are running full, and there is no prospect of a slacken ing of trade judging from the orders in sight, bnt not yet placed. There is no change in quotations S3131 50 east, $33 50 west and $31 50Q32 50 at Pittsburg. This is a creat pressure upon all the mills rolling structural material, and the indications point to an extended continuance of the present activity. Prices are very firm at previously quoted figures, as follows: lUniversal plates, 2.25 to 2.35: sheared bridge plates. 2.30 to 2.40; angles, 2.20 to 2.30; tecs, 2.70 to 2.80; beams and channels, 3.10. Old material other than rails is active at good prices, No. 1 wrought scrap selling at $21 50 to $23 00 per ton, Philadelphia. There is a constant demand for old iron rails at about S25 50 to $26 00 per ton, but the supply is very small. ANOTHER QUIET "WEEK. Inquiries Scarce nt fM. Lonls, nod Salei Few and Far Between. rSrECIAL, TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCH.l St. Locis, September 5. Rogers, Brown & Mcachani say: We have to report another quiet week with light inquiry and lighter sales. Some of the latter have been closed at de cidedly irregular figures, reflecting perhaps, the relative strength or weakness of the differ ent Southern furnaces. While some grades are scarcely obtainable others are pushed to the point taking concessions, and in the same way some furnaces appear hungry for business, wlnle others refuse business at full prices.

A Decided Improvement In the Demand for Pic Iron. rePECIAL TELEORAM TO TOE DISPATCIM Birmingham, Ala, September 5. The de mand for pig Iron continues to increase and there has been considerable improvement in trade since last week. A steady flow of Small orders for immediate shipment is coming in from the Western markets and with a good big order now and then from the far Ea-t, the furnaces have not increased their stocks any this week. The outlook for a good fall and winter trade has not been better at this season in several years and furnace men are much pleased at the prospect. N'o changes in prices have occurred since last neck, but furnace men do not care to make long contracts at present figures. No orders are being refused where the iron is to be delivered by October 1, but some offers for large lots tobe delivered in November at present prices have been declined. Stocks on band in the dis trict are not large and the orders coming in are almost equal to the output. A few of the fur naces are sold abead.but most ol them are keep ing well up with their orders and have a little Iron on hand.

MAKKKT FAIRLY ACTIVE. .Some Accumulations ef Special Gradei Ilave Affected Prices a Llt'lle. rsrECIAZ, TELEGBAX TO THE SI8FATCIM CrxciNWATX, September A Rogers, Brown & Co. say: The local market for pig iron has continued fairly active, and generally speaking, prices have been well pn:sred, but in a few Instances where furnace? have accumulated special grades, producers bave granted some concession, either in price or delivery. Confi dence has continued to be a prominent feature of market entertained for both buyers and sellers. The tonnage on back orders is heavy, bnt some improvement ia noted in the making of deliveries previously retarded. A better in quiry is experienced for softness, and there is a moderate but steady movement In charcoal brands. Toward the close of. the week some large orders relieved the Southern furnaces of any accumulation which might bave taken place, and a stronger feeling has resulted. Orders for finished iron continue heavy and the melting of pig metal is almost un precedented. New York Iron Market. New Tore Pig iron dull and steady. Cop per nominal.

Creamery Batter Weak Western Fish Scarer Tomatoes Remarkably High Prices of Staples bat Little Clinnsed Trade Brisk. At the fruit and vegetable stalls of Diamond market an imnroved trade Is reported for the week past. The pilgnms'to mountain and sea shore are returning, and the effect Is appaient in increasing demand for market basket filling. There are few changes in prices since last Sat urday. Cool nights bave put a chill on market gardens in this vicinity, and the yield of toma toes has been very much diminished. Price of tomatoes has doubled within a week. A year ago at tbiB time tomatoes were a drug at 25c a bushel. Now they are firm at $160 a bushel. In the lines of butter, eggs and poultry the week has developed no new features. In a jobbing way creamery butter is easier than at the beginning of the week. The sharp advance a week or two ago brought oleo to the front, and hence the arrest of the upward movement of gennine butter, florists report a quiet week, with prices unchanged. There is still a scarcity of Western fish. Dealers report that it is impossible to meed demand. Prices are unchanged. Staple meats move along in the old ruts unaffected by the ups and downs of live stock. Tenderloins and rib roasts are sold at the same figures as when beeves were nearly donble their present price.

HELPS MANY THINGS. Almost Every Branch of Trade Benefited by House Building, IMPOETAHT DUALS ffi REALTY. A Wood Street Landmarnttytitetly Picked Up at a Good Bound figure. THE HEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI Few people ever itop to think hotr Many trades are benefited when one building is erected. Of course, the more expensive and important the structure the more trades are embraced in the operation. Take, for In stance, observes the Building Era, a first class dwelling house of semi-fireproof con traction, with all modern improvements, and let us consider how many different ma terials enter into it, thus calling upon the rations building trades for their respective contribntions and service. Beginning with the materials used in the mere construction of the house, we hare stone, brick, mo'rtar, lumber, iron, nails, screws, building paper, mineral wool, etc Each of these materials has required a longer or shorter, and In many cases a difficult and toilsome process to prepare them for use When the outer shell of the house is erected, then comes both the exterior and interior finish. The exterior finish requires paint or tains, as the case may be, outside blinds, with their locks and binges, outer door with their knobs, escutcheons, locks and hinges, tin or galvanized iron gutters and spouts, shingles, tiles, slate, or tin for the root. The interior finish calls for stain, paint, or bard Rood finish, according to the specifica tions, fireplace furniture and tiles for the hearth, mantels, mirrors, glass for windows and doors, from plain American to French plate, and stained glass of the most approved manu facture, screens, gas piping, gas fixtures and furniture, bath tubs with the necessary pipes and fixtures of brass, copper, or nickel, closets with their appurtenances, sta tionary washstands in bathrooms with appro priate fixtures, stationary washtnbs with appli ances, slop hoppers and sinks with traps, pipes, etc. Furnaces and the necessary registers, or radiators, doors, both single, dwarf, sliding, or donble doors, with hinges, knobs, locks and different kinds of fittings and furniture for pantries and storerooms, wardrobe hooks for clothes closets, electric bells, speaking tubes, elevators; and for decoration, wallpapers of all kinds, lincrusta, gold, copper and bronze paint, various kinds of plaster ornamentation, picture moldings, etc In fact, there are so many items which enter Into the construction and completion of a mod em bouse that it is almost impossible to remem ber them all at one time. Each of the items mentioned has, in nearly every case, its special manufacturer, and of each branch not one only, but many manufacturers. It will readily be seen then that there are few kinds of business of more importance or more wide-reaching in fluence in the world than that of architectnre and building. In its numerous ramifications thousands of men and many women and boys are employed annually. Business News and Gossip.

Local Monctnry Movements Show n Satis factory Condition of Trade. Heavy checking and depositing and a good demand for money were the features in local financial circles yesterday. These point to a satisfactory condition of business. The ruling discount rate was 6 per cent. Exchanges were $2,891,713 SI, against $1,920,843 70 same time last year. Balances were $405,311 59. A leadine financier fired the following broad side: "If given their way the habitual croak ers would do more to bar progress and set the world back than could the concentrated ad verse seasons of a quarter of a century, But, fortunately, the pessimists are able to exercise verxlittleinfluence in this world. The spirit of trade and commerce is progressive, and pauses not to seek vut obstacles and is not moved by ill omens due to superstition or dis ordered liver.

New York Stocka Not Much Affected bv the Great (Snwyer, Wallace Be Co. Failure A Railroad Sensa. tlon In tbo Street. New York. September 5. The great failure of the firm of Sawyer, Wallace & Co. was the principal subject of conversation in Wall street to-day, and the general expectation was that the stock market would sell off upon the bad news. The coarse of prices, however, gave no indication that the failure bad any influ ence upon the market either one way or the other, but the bulls were inclined to think that as the market had stood such a catastrophe without showing any signs of disturbance, that it would show great strength under any really good news, and the traders were disposed to take the long side again upon that theory. The day, however, brought forth no developments, and the market was as fiat as it has been at any time, the operations in the Granger stocks be ing confined within very narrow limits with the result of the disappearance of the late activity in them, and the display of a firmer tone in the general market. A little pressure was brought to bear upon St. Paul for awhile, seeminaly to test the stock, but the attack was of short duration and the fluctuations comparatively insignificant. Rock Island at one time showed special strength-, and talk was heard in the crowd that a pool was buying the stock, but the dealings in that and the other Grangers gave no evidence that any Important Interest was trying to accumulate alone. Even Sugar Refineries during the greater portion of the day was dull and stag nant with the rest of the market, and the weakness in silver certificates, while reappear ing in the early dealings, disappeared before the forenoon was over, and the trading in them lacked the vim and the" volume of that of yes terday. Its prices were well held from that time out, but dullness was the principal feature for the day through the entire list. The opening was made on a very limited business at irregular changes from lost night's final figures, and, while the traders were in. cltned to hammer the market at first on the strength of the failure, the resistance met changed them over to tho bull side, and, dur ing the afternoon, prices were brouebt up gen erally to a small fraction better than last night's figures. At this time, however, the sensation of the day was brought out. It was rumored two days ago that after Burlington and Qnlncy bad been disposed or, that Illinois Central wonld be given a twist. Upon the pub lication of an article detailing supposed dissen sions between the stockholders and the man agement of the Illinois Central in an evening paper, the stock, which had sold at 110. was offered dowuTapidly to 10f on sales of only 1,255 shares. At the same time money was bid np to 12 per cent, and the general maiket felt the influence, closing rather heavy at small concessions from last night's figures as a rule. The last sale of Illinois Central was 8 per cent below its only sale of yesterday, bnt it closed at 103 bid, offered at 108. The course of prices to-day shows that a number of stocks bave been largely over-old, and the feeling continues that as soon as the market becomes settled there will be better buying of securi ties. Railroad bonds were still duller than usual to-day, the sales of all issues reaching only $401,000, while the dealings were devoid of fea ture. The San Antonio and Arkansas Pass issues were positively strong, rising each about 2 per cent In the last hour, but no olher move ment was to be noticed, and the usual stagna tion reigned. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds bave been dull and steady. Petroleum opened firm, but after the first sales the market sagged off and became dull,remain ing so until the close. The Post says: The alleged reason for the attack on Burlington yestetday was that there had been a very large falling off in the flour and grain receipts of the Granger roads at Chi cago in August as compared with August last year, and that as this would affect the earnings of all the Granger roads, and as Burlington had experienced no decline to correspond with Rock Island, "it ought to decline." There is in faot something in the falling off of receipts of grain at Chicago. This has been caused partly by the speculation in grain, the ad vancing prices of,wblcb have inducedxountry burners ot wheat, especially not to Bend it to maiket.

As further evidence of the cures made by the catarrh and dyspepsia specialists of 323 Penn avenue, and of patients who bave suffered from disease in its most aggravated form, ana after tbey had exhausted all available means elsewhere, is that of Mrs. Henry Hunziker. who resides at 219 Colwell street. In the Eleventh ward, of this city. IJJBMtUim 1 Jfr. Henry Hunziker. The aches and pains she had m almost every part ot her body were simply unbearable Im mediately after eating, ber stomach would be seized with terrible pain and cramps, which wonld continue until she wonld vomit up her food, and the gas that formed would cause her stomach to swell as if It wonld burst. In fact all kinds of food except milk would cause pain. She had pain over ber eyes, dizziness and noisrs in ber ears. Her mouth would have a bitter, disagreeable taste every morning. She bad pain in both sides and across the small of.ber back, and in the night if she lay on her left side she would be seized with the most ex cruciating pain, and ber heart would palpitate as if it would jump out of her body. Night sweats weakened her fast, and she had a constant tired feeling, bet more tired in the morning than on going to bed. While in this condition she consnlted the above special ists, whose reputation for making permanent cures has long since become thoroughly estab lished. She says of the matter: "Although I had doctored with several phy sicians ana with patent medicines, I got no re lief, but gradually grew worse. In fact my neighbors and even I myself thought I could only live a few months. Reading in the papers how Mrs. Bratt had been cured of terrible cramps and pains by the catarrh specialists at 323 Penn avenue I took a course of treatment and now I gladly testify to my complete cure of all my aches and pains as above described. 1 cheerfully recommend these specialists to all suffering from catarrh or stomach trouble. Signed with my own band. "MRS. HENRY HUNZIKER." Please remember these catarrb specialists are permanently located at 323 Pefin avenue and nowhere else In this city. Office hours, 10 A. Jt. to 4 P.
