Still a Yerj Active JIarlcet for the Finished Products. BEPOPJS FROM THE LEADING CEKTiSES Troth compels the statement that raw irons are weaker than they were a week ago. "While our quotations are unchanged, there is little doubt that holders have been making concessions on these rates to the cash bnyer. Reports lrom the other side of the Atlantic have put a more hopeful feel ing into producers, but there are no signs of the upward fall movement looked for and hoped lor by dealers for the past few weeks. Bessemer irons are weak, and there are rumors of sales below our inside quotations. A sale of 5,000 tons is reported at 518 25, and another of 3,000 tons a shade below this figure. With weak markets, such as we are having now, there are always producers whose necessities force them to turn products into money at prices below regular rates. Hence the reported sales of Bessemer at S18 per ton, a figure below the aiarket. The buyer who goes into the market for stock will find it verv difficult to secure his Bessemer below $18 25. Gray forge iron is steady at quotations. Muck bar, manufactured iron and nails are moving freely at about the same prices as reported last week. Structural iron is in active demand, and manufacturers report a difficult- in meeting orders. The great activity in fiuished products must, be ore very long, be felt in an increased demand for raw iron. Manufacturers of finished products are generally well stocked with material, but the time draws near when they must replenish. A year ago at this time there was a strong upward movement all along the lines of iron and steel.

The iron market is fairly acive, and there are evidences that the market will improve, as there are any number of inquiries from large buyers. The pig iron market is good at fair prices. There has not been an niarkdown, but manufactur ers have been unable to secure an advance in the face of the fact that consumption is probably the largest on record. Production lias some thing to do with this, as it is ahead of the de mand. Prices are quoted at S15 0015 25 de livered for crav force, 16 5ul7 00 lor No. 2, and 17 501S 00 for In o. 1. There is little or no business doing in ninck bars. Sellers are asking 30 0030 50 at the mill: buyers, however, are only willing to ay sjs 53 delivered. There is considerable uslnes jn bar iron, but it is not of such lanre b: volume as it has been for tlio past few weeks. There has been some hesitancy in purchasing, but a freer money market may oveicome this. Prices have advanced slight! v to 18oL90cat city mill-, and LbOgLha at interior nmnls.

There has been little or no change in the condition of the iron trade since last week. Prices are firm at last quotations, and the expected advance bas not yet set in. The volume of trade is very satisfactory to the furnace men. Orders are coming in fast en.ugh to prevent any large ac cummulation of stock. Steel ruakins is just now attracting mnch at tention in this district. The report of a com mittee of experts, selected to investigate the Henderson process, has been made public. They report that the Henderson Company, with cruae appliances, expensive labor and other disadvanliees, is making steel at a cost of 2u ner ton or less. A committee from the Hender son Couipanj is now in 'etr York negotiating for capital to erect an immense steel plant for the nianutacture of steel rails, as well as in gots. Seeral New Yoik capitalists Some time ago asmed the officers of the company that when it was established by the testimony of experts that s.eel could be made here at a co-tor 20 per ton 1,000.000 capital would be ready in New York for investment in a big steel plant m this citv. The committee re 1 erred to has gone on to close this agreement if possible.

Bnsiopus Qatrt on the L.eree Plenty of Wnter Now, bnt More Expected Empty Tows on Their War Up Arrival of n Sonsbont Bnsiness was a little stagnant on the levee yesterday owing to the absence of the Southern boats, but the four way packets made matters fairly hum at their respective landings for awhile. The water had another set-back yesterday, and went below nine feet before it stopped. However, reports from the headwaters are very encouraging, and a rise of a few feet in the next fewdaysshonldnotbe unexpected. Telegrams show the rivers at points on both streams to be falling, but tbe Weather Bureau forecasts heavy rains in the section embracing tbe head waters of the Allegheny and Monongahela. The rise, if very heavy, w ill not benefit coal ship ping in tbe least. Operators would rather have it at the present height than higher. When it is very much above the nresent figures coal sbirping is quite hazardous. It matters little though whether a high stage comes or not, as all the available tows have been sent down and the shipping durins the past week has been on a very limited scale. All the towboats are now en route to this port with empties, which will be reloaded and sent ont again in a few weeks. Tbe United States snagboat, E. A. Woodruff, with Captain W. H. Cbnstian in command, made her appeal ance in the harbor yesterday for the first time in a year. The Woodrnff is a novelty that is rarely seen in Pittsburg, and was the center of attraction at the landing all day. Visitors by the score w ent down to "look at her, and Captain Christian courteously conducted the Heht-seers over the craft, which is about 160 feet long and 75 broad, abont twice as large across as the largest towboat running into this port The Woodruff will leave this morning for Cairo, removing obstructions on tbe way down. Captain Chris tain promises to let Pittsburg rivermen know what work the boats accomplishes through these columns. He said that the city during bis one year absence bad undergone some great changes, and the bustle and hustle going on in the heart of the city actually bewildered bim. Hesajs the city is keeping apace with other places in the march of progress. Driftwood. The Iron Ace will lay npa few weeks for re pairs. TnE Andes left Cincinnati for this port last night.

Money Offered on the Floor of the Exchange on Stock Collateral. THE HEWS AHD GOSSIP OP THE CITI The need of a more liberal financial policy to encourage tbe growth and development of the country is beyond all question. The demand for money has grown beyond all precedent millions are wanted where thousands were sufficient a few years ago. Industries of all kinds are beine developed and built up, and millions of people are becoming more and more dependent upon them; hence the importance of such a financial policy as will provide these in dustries with sufficient money to exist. Tbe expansion of trade and business is phenomenal. As compared with last year tbe business is abont 20 per cent greater. Banking returns show that 12 per cent more money bas been handled. Railroad retnrns show a remark able increase in freight. The condition of tbe great manufacturingindustriessbowsamarked increase in production. The demand for ma chinery, building material, iron, steel, coal, and every variety of crude and finished products, indicates bow remarkably rapid lsthegrowth in all material directions. Railroads are opening up regions of country of which but little is actually known. New supplies of timberand mineral are being found; broad areas are brought within reach of immigrants who stand ready, able, and anxious to develop them. On every side there are indications of develop ment, of progress, and of wealth. It wonld be a great pity worse than that, a great crime if, through anv lack of intelli gent foresight or good management, this healthful growth and development should be checked. "Law Governing Trustee. The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachu setts recently rendered a decision of import ance to trustees in the case of thoappeal of one Dickinson, as trustee ot the estate of Lucius Boltwood, against the decision of a Probate Conrt Judge. It appeared that the trustee, after consul ting with certain persons believed by him to have good judgment of what invest ments were proper and safe, purchased a num ber of shares of Union Pacific stock above par. Tbe stock declined in value, and tbe trustee on filing his account claimed an allowance for the loss on this stock. The claim was disallowed by the Probate Court. The Supreme Court of Massachusetts set down the rule 60 years ago that "all that can be required of a trustee to invest is that be shall conduct himself faith fully and exercise a sound discretion." The Court held that the trustee in the pres ent case bad not brought himself within the rule, saying: "A prudent man, possessed of con siderable wealtb, in investigating a small part of his property, may take risks which a trustee would not be justified in taking. While we recognize the hardship of compelling a trustee to make good out of his own property a loss oc casioned by an investment of trust property which he has made in good faith, and upon the advice of persons whom be thinks to be quali fied to give advice, we cannot hold that the trustee was justified in investing in such stocks, as this was so large a proportional part of the property."

This goes to show that the Pennsylvania Rail road Is doing an enormous business. Tbe gen tleman added: "I am Informed that the com pany will have four tracks through to Phila delphia within two or three years." The Odd Fellows' building, on Penn avenue,' Wilkinsbnrg, is well under way. It will be finished by January L Philadelphia capitalists have just conclnded tbe purchase of 19,000 acres of timber land in Winn parish, Louisiana. The most important of 31 mortgages on file for record yesterday was for JS.000. Eight were for purchase monev. Building is active on Rural.

More than SO bouses are in various stages of completion in this dis trict, tbe most important of which are those of Mr. Wainwright, the granite front stone of Mr. D. C. Kuhn, aud Masonic Hall. Crowded streets and stores refute the idea, if it be entertained, that business is slack. Such evidence of thrift should inspire confidence in tbe present and hope for tbe future.

Judging from tbe small number of sales re ported, it would be reasonable to infer that real estate was flat on its back yesterday, bnt such was not tbe case. There was considerable done that did not reach the surface. Three brokers counted up an aggregate of 15 deals that were receiving the finishing toncbes.

The local stock calls yesterday differed In no material respect from those of tbe previous days of the week. There was, perhaps, stronger undertone, due to easier money. Sales were 170 shares. The active interests were New York and Cleveland Gas Coal and Phila delphia Gas. Price changes were small in all cases, and about evenly divided between gains and losses. What bad been talked of for some time, of fering money on the floor of the exchange on stock collateral, was introduced by Mr. A. C. Robinson. He cade tbe offer, but there was no acceptances. This innovation has many supporters, ana may be adopted as a perma nent feature of tbe stock market. It will be useful when tbe banks bave large bal inces. MUST SECOND THIBD CALL. CALL. CALL.

MONETARY CONDITION'S. Financial Sklc Brlclitcnlog Flcnres Show ing Trade in Good Shape. Several of the leading local bankers ex pressed tbe opinion yesterday that tbe finan cial t queeze bad about ran its course, and that the lines wonld gradually relax. They all said that there was plenty of money here to handle the fall business and lend necessary assistance to new enterprises. Crops are beginning to move at prices satisfactory to farmers, and prospects aro good for a heavy fall trade. These are reassuring features. Loanable funds were in moderate supply and demand yesterday. Rates were steady at 67 per cent. The ClearingHouse did a large busi ness, which was fairly distributed among the banks, indicating not only a good movement of the specialties, bnt in retail branches as well.

KEW YORK STOCKS. markets Strong nnd High Townrd the Lnt Hont Favorable Expectations for the Bnnlt Lsue A Marked Abaence of Pressure. . New York, September 19. The? feeling in Wall street on the money question if decidedly easier, and little annrebension is fi It that, for the next few weeks at least, there will be any trouble in obtaining accommoda ion. Tho payment for the 4 per cent : will be completed in time to show in the bank statement of to-morrow, and is ixpected to place the banks in a very strong posi tion, but the fact that about $SUOO,000 was drawn in cash is construed by souie people to indicate that the boarding of themoney is in tended, but this view meets with few believers. Tbe bears, however, bave made snch strenuous efforts to make it appear that ibis time, com plete as it has been, is only temporary, and that tbe treasury absorptions would soon draw all of it back again has created considerable dis trust for tbe present, aud the incllnatio to in vest in the market is not at present any morn marked than it bas been in the past two month. To-day there was a marked absence of bear pressure, although the usual efforts to get prices down were not wanting In some direc tions. The movements lacked vim, however, and wbilo there was a decrease in the amount of business! done, tbe fluctuations also showed a smaller range, aud the important movements were again confined to the low-priced shares, especially in the forenoon, but after that time tho covering of shorts and a freer buying for. the long account, induced by the growing ease SATUEEflt;' SEPTEMBER In money, extended the upward movement to everything traded in, and a few of the active stocks scored marked gains before the close of business. The industrial stocks were moat prominent in this rise, bnt Big Four, Missouri Pacific, Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred. Mobile and Ohio and Pullman all showed marked strength and are conspicuous over last night's figures. Tbe close was fairly active and strong, at the highest prices of the day. There were no losses, and Sugar Is np 3, Chicago Gas 1, Missouri Pacific and Wheel ing and Lake Erie preferred each 1M, Cleve land, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis 1, and Union Pacific 1 per cent. Railroad bonds for the first time in weeks showed real activity and considerable feature, there being several movements in different parts of tbe list which resulted in material gains. The Rales of all issues reached $1,373, 000. Texas Pacific incomes furnished $195,000, Mobile and Ohio 4s $186,000, and Colorado Mid land 4s $110,000. The last named bonds rose from 72 to 73. while the Texas Pacific in comes r. se from 40 to 42, but closed at 41. Mobile and Ohio 43 rose to 66 from 64, and material gains were made iu .-ome of tbe in active bonds, the market closing strong at the best figures and inclose sympathy wlih the share list. State bonds bave been entirely neglected. Government bonds dnll and steady. The Post says: The market was strong aud higher in the afternoon, tbe highest prices of the day having been made in tbe last hour. It is expected that the bank statement, to be issued to-morrow, will be favorable, owing to heavy payments of the Trea-ury on account of bond purchases, interest and pension payments, together with the amount disbursed for pur chases of silver. But New York exchange at Chicago is still 60 cents per $1,000 discount, at which rate there is still a decided movement of money from here to tbe West, and this may have the effect to diminish the improvement in the banks. The net result for tbe day was a general advance of H2 per cent over yester day's closing, only a tew stocks showing any decline The following table shows tne prices or active stocks on the New York stock Kxchange yester day.

The week past has developed few new feat ures in tbe line ot market basket filling. At the Diamond market fruit and vegetable stalls trade is reported slow for some days past. Grapes are the mainstay in fruit lines. Quality is all that could be desired and prices are rea sonable. California fruits are in good supply, but price is steep. With Hartlett pears at 50c a dozen, the average citizen can hardly afford to indulge. In the line of dairy products job bing prices bave weakened during the week past, but not enongb to affect retail prices. Creamery butter of the verv best quality is wholesaling at 23 to 26c per nound. As there are about six carloads of oleomargarine coming to our market every week, it is -highly probable that a multitude of consumers are spreading their bread and biscuits with imitations of but ter. "Where ignorance is bliss it were folly to be wise." Dealers in ocean products report that It is im possible for the pa-t week or two to meet de mand for their goods. A leading operator m this line reported yesterday that his whole sup ply of ovsters was exhausted at 10 o'clock in tbe morning, though he had laid in liberally in ex pectation of a heavy demand. Fish supplies also bave been curtailed of late, owing to storms on the Eastern coast. Western fish are beginning to come in more ireely, and a full snpplv is expected by another week. Flor ists report a good weeK, with prices unchanged. Tbe return of the pilgrims to mountain and sea shore has perceptibly helped trade In floral lines.

Drysooris. New York, September 19. There was more general improvement in tbe drygouds trade as tbe result of good weather and increasing con fidence. Jobbers were fairly active through the presence of nearby trade now coming in more freely. Tbe coming week promises to be an active one with the jobbers. At first hands, demand was irregular, but of improving ten dencies as regards the wants of jobbers, while exporters were buying a good manv goods for the Eastern market for future delivery, ad vanced prices being realized. Tbe tone of tbe cotton market continues strong and there is again talk of higher prices. Prints were in moderate demand, bat in good shape. Whisky ainrkrls.

There is an improved demand for choice po tatoes and prices are a shade higher. Toma toes are also showing an upward tendency, owing to limited supply. Creamery butter is slow at the late reduction. Oleo is now taking the place of the genuine product of cow's cream, and the average consumer seems to 'be satisfied with the imitation. Tbe ruisfortnno is that the law makes bim pay butter prices for what Is not worth more than one-half. Eggs are firm, and outside quotations are easily ob tained for strictly fresh stock.
