    IRON TRADE REYIEW.
Kothwithstanding Reports of Higher

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.

EEVTVAI OF BUSINESS.
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.

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

some furnaces appear hungry for business,

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

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.

THE MARKET BASKET.
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.
Following are the latest retail quotations of
market basket filling:

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.

GOOD 0MEKS.
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.

AFTER THE BREAK.
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.

RIVER INTELLIGENCE,
Steps to be Taken Townrri Enforcing the
Antl-Obslruclion Liwi,
Captain John A. Wood yesterday returned
from Louisville, and while at Cincinnati he
conferred with Colonel Merrill abont the im
provements to be made on the Ohio .river from
here to Cincinnati. A list of the obstructions
which are to be removed has already been pub
lished in The Dispatch. Captain Wood
states that work will be commenced immedi
ately upon Colonel Merrill's receipt of the ap
propriation. The obstrnctions have cansed
several accidents to tho coal fleet which went
out last "week. Captain Wood said that the
channel at Three Sisters Islands has filled up
and grounded one of his boats while on the
way up with a tow or empty barges. The crew
was paid off and sent home by rail, which
is a cost be had not counted upon.
The Pennsylvania Ship Canal Commission will
meet next Wednesday In tul city. Captain
Wood states that he will bring the question o(
low bridges before the commission. It is likely
some action will be taken In order that the
surve)S can be completed. There is a law
which prohibits any bridge company obstruct
ing navigation, and the rlverman will make an
effort to have It enforced.
Business was light about the wharf yester
day. The big wharf boat was not taken down
to the ways until 5 o'clock on account of in
sufficient water. The United States Marshal
stated yesterday afternoon that be wonld sell
the sunken Joseph Nixon next weekvto pay the
claims against her. Several parties represent
ing lower river transportation lines have ar
rived in the city to attend the sale of the big
steamer, Joseph B. Williams, on Tuesday. The
wickets at Davis Island dam were all raised
yosterdav, which put the water on the six-tout
mark. The indications are for a rise within
the next few days, a heavy rain storm passing
over the city, and reports show it to be raining
at all river points.
Driftwood.
Packet business was done mostly by up-river
boats yesterday.
The Frank Gllmore towed the Pittsburg and
Cincinnati wharfboat to the ways yesterday
evening.
The, Tom IteeseNo. 21s hard aground at Three
Bister Islands. Her crew was discharged and
came home by rail.

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
