The Iron Ape of this date quotes the American metal marketsas follows: American pis The New York market continues very quiet on the whole, the de mand being for moderate quantities, while there is no very great pressure to selL There have been reports during the week of some offerings of .No. 1 Northern foundry iron at a considerably lower price than that usually quoted, but these rumors still lack confirma tion. As a matter of interest it may be noted that one of the leading Chicago makers has lately been selling some iron in the territory tributary to New York. It is reported that there has been some weakness in Southern charcoal irons. It is aho re ported that large transactions have taken place in Cornwall Bessemer at 1B. "Wecontinue to quote 1718 for No. 1 and $16 C010 50 for No. 2 foundry, good Northern brands while Southern irons are selling at $17 0917 25 for No. 1, $16 00S16 25 for No. 2 and 61 7515 25 for No. 3.

Spiegeilscn and Fcrro-Mangaucsc The mar ket has continued exceedingly dull, so that prices are entirely nominal. Importers gener all v agree, however, in stating that the market abroad has become nrmer, and that it is doubt ful whether sales could be made at prices equal to those of the last transactions. There are re ports that Ferio has been ottered as low as $6S 50. but it is affirmed that $70 is now as low as Ferro can now be Hid flown. Spiegeil con tinues nominally. S3U30 50. Billets Foreign maters seem to be very well sold u for the balance of the y."ar. and busi ness has become practically impo-sible. An inquiry for about i.000 tons of 2-inch billets for a horseshoe mill has been in the market, but has not been placed at this writing. It is ru mored that there has been a weakening in Eastern billets, but no sales are reported. Natl slabs have been offered in Central Pennsylvania at $31 delivered. Wiie Rods The market for wire rods is en tire! in the hands of American mills, foreign being quoted at $4345 50, while domestic have been selling m small lo.s at $4J15 delivered. Steel rails The market has been exceedingly dull, not a single transaction of any conse quence being reported bv sellers. Prices are nomiuallj S30g3u 50, small lota bringing the latier figure. Plates The market is weaker, the mills being eager to book orders at prices which it would have been difficult to place business at about tu o weeks ago. Structural iron and steel The demand con tinues very large and prices are steady at 2.25c for universal mill plates, delivered; 2.102.25c for angles; 2.C02.70c for tees, ann aic for beams. Old rails The only transaction reported dur ing the week has been the sale of a lot of 400 tons of foreign, consigned, which sold at S25, Jersey City. That price is bid by consumers, but the majority of sellers hold for 26 and up ward. Negotiations are pending for old steel rails on which quotations vary from $20.50 to $22. SPECULATIVE HAEKET STB0NO. The Situation In the VaiioUK Metal Features Acroas the Ailimic. rSrECIAL TELEGEAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 New Yor.K. September 25. The Iron Age of this date quotes the British iron and metal marketsas follows from London: Business in pig iron warrants has been large, and the mar ket is strong, w ith a further sharp rise in prices all along the line. At the moment, however, outsiders are quiet and trade is inclined to pro ceed cautiously, pending the result of the dis pute between makers and the furnacemen. Both are determined, and the masters are unanimous in the position that they will damp furnaces rather than give way. The Clyde works are strongly resisting the advance in -wages asked there, and have damped four furnaces. The Govan Company have dimped one, anda general stoppage is expected. Scotch warrants advanced to 53s 3d. Cleveland to 493 lud. and hematites to b0 3d, a rise of about 2s all through, but sold a fraction lower to-day, or at 52 6 J for fccotch, 49s 3d for Cleveland,' and 59s 9d for hematites. Pig tin on the spot has advanced 3 10s., sell inc at 103, and three months' futures have moved proportionately. The scarcity of spot supplies is more keenly felt from day to day and the fact that no large supplies are visible imparts additional strength to values. There was considerable buying in this market for American account early in the week. Copper has been somewhat nreguiar. Unuer brisk de- manu merchant bars advanced early in the week to 61 17s. 64. That rise caused heavy realizing by outside holders and a sliffhtrn- action toot place. TheiB hnq einpn h..n n giadual recovery and the market is now very tirm. Those contrlling the situation still give the market strong support and are assisted by the smallness of arrivals from America and heavy consumption. Tin plate has beeu in busk demand and buyers have taken hold more liberally, although Placing no large orders until very recently. Prices have advanced somewhat, and the tendency is still upward. Makers are verv ftiong. owing to threatened labor trouble in t-ome quarters and present heavy demand. At The live Llanelly works an advance in wages is asked by the workmen. Steel ship plates have further improved in prices, and are now quoted at 6 12s Cd f. o. b. Barrow. On other forms of steel there has beeu no marked change. American Manufacturer's Cable Quotations. Scotch Pig On warrants there has been an advance of over 2s (business having beeu done at 53s 3d) and the market is still active and strong, with threatened curtailment of output ol furnaces owing to labor troubles, an impor tant factor. Makers' iron is also higher, bnt business is slower at the advance. NalColtncss 05s. Od. to. b. Glasgow No. 1 bummerlee 63s. Od. to. b. Glasgow Gartsherne . ...KIs. Od. f. o. b. Glasgow . . .65s.

TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Scottdale, September 25. No important change is visible in the coke market and its surroundings. The supply of cars rose apoint or two on the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn sylvania railways last week. The improvement reported, although small, materially assisted in the hastening of coke to points of consumption. Several furnaces which would have been com pelled to bank down were saved from so doing by this assistance. One furnace in the Sbenango Valley was obliged to suspend opera tions by reason of no fuel. The demand for coke is something phenomenal, and in all probability conld be met were it not for the reasons given above. Three soldid coke trains were sent out one day this week to furnaces in Cleveland and other Ohio points which were on the verge of suspension. It is believed by shipping agents that the transportation facilities will be grad ually improved and tho famine wiped out The works in the Connellsville l egion are also af fected by the lack of transportation. Coke is being dumped on the yards, and the stock is of such proportions that some of tho works will have to shut down if cars do not come to the rescue. An operator well versed in the trade defined his position as follows to-day: "The pig iron trade is active and, of course, the order3 for coke are large. Wo could fill all the orders, but the cars to bear them to desti nation are not at hand. Were it not for the coke that some of the big consumers secured when cars were iu plentiful supply.I think they would have to close their plants ere this. But theu the car famine won't last always." It is quietly whispered around that the coko prices will be advanced a notch or so next month or the month following. What Is behind the scenes cannot be learned, as the operators arc quite reticent on the matter. Some of tbein denythe report The works are opera ting six davs Per week as a general rule. Some of the works are still making five days, while others; operate alternately five and six days. Eastern capitalists who recently pur chased 2,000 acres of land in Somerset county have opened up a couple of pits on the pur chase, and found the coal to be of the coking order. There are about 1,800 idle ovens in the region. Tho Leisenering No. 2 plant of 500 ovens is being fired. The Charlotte plant ol 87 ovens is still idle. Work on the new plants in course of erection is progressing. Shipments last week averaged L095 cars per day. as against 1.C72 cars of the previous week. The total in crease was 140 cars. Shipments were consigned to points of consumption as follows: To points west of Pittsbnrg, 3,900 cars; to Pittsburg and ri er poiut, 1,620 cars; to points east of Pitts burg, L050 cars; total, 6,540 cars. The record of the preceding week was as follows- To points west of Pittsburg, 3,650 cars; to Pittsburg and river points. 1,600 cars; to points cast of Pitts burg, L1S0 cars; total. 6,430 cars.

The real estate interest of Allegheny City is suffering somewhat irom insufficient means for the conveyance of people to and from the widely separated districts.. The completion of the various rapid transit projects, which are under way and in con templation, will remove this barrier to the progress of the city and give it a forward impetus greater than any it has ever experi enced. The highest priced property, of course, is fonnd in.the central part of the city in the neighborhood of the parks, where sales have been made quite recently at as much as S600 a foot front This was the price paid by Mr. James H. Aiken, the Fifth avenue merchant, for a lot whereon he is erecting a line residence. Offers of ?500 have been made repeatedly and refused. Some choice sites are held at $700 and 5800 a foot On Buena Vista street a year ago lota sold for $2,500 which could not now bo bought for less than $4,000, and owners are not anxious to sell even at that figure. . There is considerable activity in realty In the lower part of the city, but as only a few of tho transactions are reported it is difficult to tell just what is going on. A number of important improvements are going forward and others are talked of. Owners are not anxious to selL They are awaiting the opening of California avenue, and the completion of the electric road, which they think will stimulate the de mand for property and advance prices. Thi3 is certainly a reasonable conclusion. Passing to tho upper part of the city, the Heir's Island district it is found that owing to its isolated position and almost total lack of transportation facilities, improvement is in a very backward state. There is some activity in the Eighth and Thirteenth wards, reports of which seldom reach the public. There is con siderable cheap property in these wards, which rapid transit would make available. There is some talk of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester road running a line along Troy Hill. In the Thirteenth ward. The project is being pushed by John P. Obe', tho brewer, who thinks it will materialize before long. The hill district is being improved very fast Among the handsome residences just com pleted or under way maybe mentioned those of C. F. Schroeder, F. Anschutz, and James Hun ter, President of Common Council. Besides these and others of the same high class, a large number of small dwellings have been erected within the last few months. Perrysville aveune is the main artery of this territory. Electric cars are running on it as far out as Bom's ThreeMile-House. There is a good deal of va cant property along this road, but it is being booghtup quite rapidly. One of the largest tracts, about 100 acres, is owned by Mr. Wat son, who, according to report, is about to sell to a syndicate for subdivision. Business News and Gossip. Tho Exposition is a paying institution. A businessman said yesterday that it bad al ready brought more money to the city than it had cost It Is among tho probabilities that when the Splane corner changes hands it will be orna mented by one of tbe finest bank bnildings in the country. A colored barber in search of a small house yesterday said he found several, but the land lords objected to him as a tenant on account of his complexion. The sale of the Butler Chemical Works stock, announced on 'Change for yesterday; was post poned to October 2, when it will be offered at public vendue. Black & Baird Tho inquiry for good houses is unprecedented, and far in excess of present and probable supply. Tho demand is In great part from outsiders, who desire to locate in Pittsburg and share in its great prosperity. Of 40 mortgages on file for record yesterday 26 were for purchase money. The largest was for $8,000. Earnings of the Pittsburg and Western Rail road for the third week of the present month show a net increase over the same time last year of 810,195. The first bank failure in the Indian Territory occurred on Wednesday, when the Capitol City Bank suspended Dayment The suspension is only temporary, it is declared, and tho bank is expected to pay all claims in full. New York bulls express confidence that stocks will sell up in a few nays, and point to , the large railroad earnings for proof. Locally, railroad stocks are among the strongest on tbe list New Bulldlngi.

The Western Pennsylvania Improvement Company, composed of local capitalists, has taken a step in the right direction by purchas ing ground on Herron Hill at a cost of $35,000 and making contracts for tbe erection of 40 modern style frame dwellings thereon, to cost from 82,500 to $3,500 each. Grounds and build ings will be first-class in every respect. PJans for these improvements have been prepared, and work on them will begin in a few days. It is understood that Charles Somers & Co. have been appointed agents for the sale or other dis position of these fine properties. J. B. Larkin & Co. There is no danger of a famine in cheap building lots. Sales are brisk, but the supply is kept up by putting new sub divisions into the market We are handling a large amount of this kind of property in vari ous parts of tbe city, and are just opening up a tract of 27 acres, or about 300 lots, in the Schen- ley Park district which we propose to market at prices within tbe reach of people of limited means. Tbe poor must be cared for; the rich can take care of themselves. It was learned yesterday that Mr. W. B. Stewart had sold his place at Edgeworth, on the Ft Wayne Railroad, about one-third of an acre of ground, witb a good modern house and nine rooms, lor $7,000. Upon inquiry at tbe office of W. A. Herron & Sons, who had the property for sale, they confirmed the report. W. A. Herron & Sons sold a large lot on Em erson street near Shady avenue, East End, with a large dwelling, for tho Western Uni versity of Pennsylvania for $11,000. The pur chaser will subdivide into building lots. They also sold for Hon. J. H.

Bales of local stocks on call yesterday were 216 shares, contributed by IS. and M. National Bank, Luster and Second Avenue Electric, the Ia'tter showing in tho active list for the first time. Luster was the only thing that displayed par ticular vim. Reports from the mine are suffi ciently indefinite to maintain a state of un certainty outside of a favored few, who mani fest a disposition to realize at every favorable opportunity. The first sale was at 21M and the last at 21X. The close was 21.

M0NETASY MOVEMENTS. Borrowers Freely Accommodnteii at Regn lirRntes Funds for the West. The local money market yesterday was favor able to borrowers, who obtained all the accom modations they wanted at6percentas the rule. No material change in the situation is ex pected nntil after the October settlements, when the market may work easier. This de pends somewhat, however, upon the amonnt of money that may be returned from the West. Last year a good deal sent out there fonnd profitable employment and remained. Should this be tbe case this year there will be very little surplus cash left after taking care of established interests. The possibility of such a result demonstrates conclusively that the country is in need of more money. Ex changes were $2,452,458 51 and balances S337, 833 88. According to a Wall street special to Whit ney & Stevenson, Mr. Cammack predicts that money will be as stringent on the other side of tbe ocean this year as it was tight here two weeks ago. He looks for serious trouble in London because of the enormous conversions, of private into corporate properties and the scattering of the shares among speculative holders. London, he says, has by no means re covered from the drain made upon it for gold by South America, South Africa and Portugal.

The Oil Market making Considerable Prog re" Backward No Fluctuntions. A naturalist once described tbe lobster as "an animal that advances backward." The descrip tion fits oil exactly. AH the change it has shown for some time has been of a retrogres sive character. Statistics all along have favored an advance, but buyers could not be found. The market yesterday was one of the dullest of the season. The first sale did not take place until after 2 o'clock. There were a few others, but they all did not amount to more than 8,000 or 10,000 barrels. The quotation was 80 all through, with bids of T9J at the close. Clear ings were 46,000 barrels. Buckeye was offered at 30, but nobody wanted it There were a few trades in it in New York. Features of Yctcrdny' Oil market. Corrected daily by John M.

The stock mar ket to-day was very quiet in the general list, but sugar was extremely active again, and brought the total trading up to the average of the past week. The tone of the dealings, how ever, was not strong, except in the early ones, when small advances were scored in the rail road stocks. The Bank of England this morn ing advanced its rate of discount from 4 to 5 per cent, "and London as a rulo was a seller to a moderate extent of its specialties, though the foreign operations in tho aggregate were not large, and had very little influence upon tho course of prices in our market In fact the rate of discount was so fully expected and dis counted that it did not even create a ripple on the general bullish feeling which had taken possession of the traders, and first prices were generally from to per cent higher than last evening's final figures. Tho general opinion was that in view of the shaping of affairs in the Southwest, Mr. Gould was preparing to inaugurate an upward move ment in his stocks, and tbo market being re lieved of tbe incubus of the pressure so marked of late in the Grangers and Villards the traders are encouraged to take tbe long side, at least for a turn, and tbe buying extended to almost everything in tbe railroad list, though the im provement was small in every case. Rumors from Washington were interpreted as unfavorable to the sugar interests, and there was a general selling movement inaugurated in sugar refineries stock, which swelled the busi ness done in it to unusually large proportions, while its price yielded readily, dropping in all about 3 per cent. This quenched the bullish ardor of the traders, and thev tonk the bear side wherever selling orders were discovered, with the result of wiping out the early gains in tbe retnrn list, in all except a few stocks which were known to have special support A more determined attack was made upon the list in the last hour accompanied by repoots of large failures in Boston, and tbe stocks in which that center is most interested furnished tho special objects of the drive. Atchison led off. followed by Union Pacific, and each of tbem yielded over 1 per cent. Under cover of this move ment however, there was good buying of sugar refiners, and it recovered about half of its early loss. Silver certificates were again weak and dropped away to 112 on light transactions. The market closed active and weak at or about tbe lowest prices of the day notwithstanding a slight rally in the leading shares in tbe last few minutes' trading. The final changes are almost invariably losses of small fractions but sugar is off 1, Atchison 1, and Union Pacific 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were again moderately active, the sales of all issues reaching $1,318,000, and while a firm to strong tone prevailed early In the day the list sympathized with the share list and declined in the afternoon. The attack upon Atchison in the afternoon was preceded by marked weakness in the bonds earlier in tbe day. The final changes in tbe remainder of the list were also generally insignificant Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and steady. The Post says: "Now that the receipts of grain, provisions and live stock at Chicago have increased to a volnme which is in excess of this time last year, there is good ground for the assumption that tbe eastward trunk lines from Chicago will have larger earnings this winter than last The eastbound sbipmeuts from Chicago are now very largely in excess of this time last year, and an advance in rates for grain and some other freight is expected next week. Money in open market in London to-day was up to 5 per cent, as against Zi a few days ago. and this had considerable effect to prevent a further advance in the stock market There are no more apprehensions here about money, DUt tbe stock market is so narrow that prices move up and down on the trading of half a dozen lndividualsin tbe Stock Exchange room.

The Growth of Produce Much Retarded by Recent Cold Wenther. Recent cool weather has been adverse to gardeners. While there has been no frost in this section, ground is cold and a check has come to growth of garden stuff. A Neville Island gardener siid yesterday: "Our profits this season were about equal to last year, but we urn not handle naif tne amount 01 stun this season as wo did last Theyieldhas been mnch below average this season. Our mainstay is the tomato crop. Tho yield in this line this season has been very light but prices are enough above average to offset smallness of crop. Last season we sold tomatoes at 25 cents per bushel to ketchup manufacturers, while prices this season has not gone below 50 cents per bushel, and that only for a very short time. Tbe general range of prices this season has been fully double what it was last year. If frost should come, which we expect daily at this season of tbe year, we can put our green tomatoes under glass and there let them ripen, so as to secure better prices than we are able to obtain at this time. The quality of tomatoes ripened under glass is of course not quite up to that ripened In the open air, but we usually obtain better prices tor the inferior stuff, and hence have little fears of frot Markets for garden stuff have been rather quiet this week, with a tendency to lower prices.'' Dry Goods. New York, September 25. There was no change in the demand for dry goods from agents. Business continnes moderate, but firm and steady as regards seasonable Mancbesters, while a considerably active request for spring fabrics is shown in the orders recorded. The condition of the market is favorable to tbe maintenance of price-, Tbe production of Erint cloth is to be again curtailed and prices eld. Lancaster and Lovell wide sheetings have been advanced 1 cent a yard. Business with jobbers was again more active, the nearby trade operating and taking a fair quantity of goods. Continued good weather for the retail trade is having a good effect DOMESTIC 'MARKETS. In Lines of General Produce No New Features Developed, CHOICE CREAMERY BUTTER FIRST.

A Few Weak Spots In the Grain Pit. bnt Gains Scored All Round More Corn Than Expected Pork Move Up. CHICAGO Wheat-The market, after dis playing dullness, developed more Ufe tolay, and taken altogether a fair business transacted. Indications were for a dull day, although the market opened KQJaC higher than yesterday's closing pricos, eased off c without any fluctu ations of consequence, but some of the local traders commenced to buy at the decline, and as prices began to take an upward course the short interest took fright and covered lair quantities. A few of the larger floor trader; bought mod erately, evidently to scare some of the weaker shorts, believing the market to be pretty well oversold, and this action advanced prices 1 ljc, but the market wa3 not any too strong, a degree of uncertainty being noticeable, and prices eased off c, again recovered, and closed e higher than the closing yester day. There was a fair trade in corn at higher prices, a steadier feeling being prevalent Tbe better tone was due to a considerable extent to the JPrice CurrenCs estimate of the crop at 1,565.000,000 bushels, or 543,000,000 bushels below last year, which is a little better than the Gov ernment figures. The market ODened with sales at yesterday's closing prices, suddenly ad vanced c, reacted c, ruled steady, and closed with a gain of .c Oats were traded m fairly, but an unsettled feeling prevailed. Prices ranged lower early, but tbe good buying by shorts prodnceda firmer feeling, and prices for January advanced c. On the bulge there was good selling of May, and pnees yielded c, and the market closed steady at a slight auvance over yester day's close. Mess Pork Moderate activity existed. Prices advanced 1517c eased off 710c, and closed 1225c higher than yesterday. Lard There was fair activity and a net gain of 5c compared with yesterday's closing. Short ribs attracted considerable attention. The improvement, which amounted to 67c, was well maintained to the close. Open- High- Low- Clos- ARTICLEs. lug. est est. lng.
