rsrECIAL TZLXGRAM TO TBI DtltVATCn.1
New York, October 2. The Iron Age
quotes the American metal markets as fol
lows: American Pig The general situation
is practically the same as outlined last week.
Consumers do not appear to be buying with
greater lreedom, at all events, nor are there
any signs ot increased pressure to sell, and,
apart from iron that cuts an unimpor
tant figure in this market, there are no signs
oi anything bordering upon weakness.
There Is an accumulation of about 7,000 tons of
two 1'ennsylTania brands, for which prices on
tho basis oI517 50 for No. 1 at tidewater would
doubtless be accepted, and some Southern iron
ot doubtful quality is also offered at what
w ould appear to be rather low figures. Popular
makes are well sold up, however, and prices for
the same remain very steady. Low grade
foundry ana mill irons are barely steady. We
continue to quote 117 S0Q1S for No. 1, and S16Q
30 50 for No. 2 foundry, good Northern brands,
while Southern irons are selling at $1701725 for
Sn. 1. $ltgl6 23 for No. 2 and $11 7515 25 for
No. 3. Southern car wheel iron is quoted $20
21 for Nos. 3, 4 and 5, and $19 5020 for Nos. 1
and 2, delivered.
Spiegelcisen and ferro manganese There has
been no buslifcss of sufficient volume to fairly
test the market nor any signs of change in the
position of buyers and sellers. Twenty per
cent spicgel is nominally $30 50031 50, as to
brand; SO per cent Terro is said to have been
sold recently at SG9, laid down in Baltimore,
but S7072 is quoted at present.
Billets Quotations of as low as S2DJJ29 50 at
Western Pennsylvania mills have been made,
and corresponding figures made further 6ast,
without importaut business. Nothing was re
ported in the way of movement of "foreign bil
lets, prices for which arc relatively higher than

sold at $42 at mill, and $43 is considered full
value. Foieign cost about i2 more to Import,

structural iron and steel There isstilla very
fair amount of business nnder way. Mills are
w ell employed and prices remain steadv at 2.25c
for universal mill plates, delivered; 2.10J2.25c
for angles: 2.602.7nc for tees and 3.1c fur beams.
Steel rail An Eastern mill has booked an
order for G.000 tons for the D. fc H. R. R.. but
no particulars as to prices are divulged. Apart
from this only small sales emtio to notice.
Prices tor standard sections range between

at $25. and inquiries the past few days indicate

New York. October2. TheJron Agequota
the British iron and metal markets as follows
from London: Under the influence of sales to
realize, caused by rumors that an early settle
ment of the labor troubles is probable, to
gether with aggressive action by the bear in
terest, prices for Scotch warrants receded to
52s Id. Cleveland warrants dropped to 4Ss 6d
in sympathy, and hematites to 59s. The rumor
appears to have been without foundation, how
ever, and the market is looking quite firm
again. Thus far 15 furnaces have been damped,
and a complete stoppage during the present
month is considered probable. On Wednes
day's operations Scotch warrants moved up to
53s, Cleveland to 47 6d and hematites to 59a 0&.
the market closing strong. Pig tin on the spot
has dropped to 101 los after selling at over
104, and futures are also rather lower since
iim" settlement ot outstanding accounts and
cassation of buing for American accounts.
Heavy shipments from the straits hate also
induced freer selling although still Insufficient
for probable requirements.
Copper is weaker. Prices for merchant bars
hae dropped to 59 5s under the influence
cMcfly ol realizations, due to dearer money.
Purchases for consumption continue on a fairly
larce ale. TI.e tin plate market is steadv.
Makers are fully engaged, largely for American
account, and offer Fparmglv. New works are
building at Briton Ferry. The dispute at the
Llanelty works has been settled in favor of the
workmen. Dealers report a larger movement
in old iron rails, and large sales are said to have
been made at CTs Ci for American account.
American Manufacturer's Cable Quotations.
Scotch Pic Warrants have reacted to 52s.
under the influence of sales to realize profits,
and the market is momentarily irregular clos

a very fair deinaud, and prices are again

rSPKCIAI. TELEOBAM TO TUX DI6PATCB.1
Scottdaie, September 2. The car famine
which has been seriously disturbing the cojie
trade for some weeks past remains unremedied,
and a prediction is not ventured as when trade
will aBsumn its natural condition. A repetition
of experience is feared in the scarcity of cars,
as last week the deficiency was of larger pro
portion than has been previously reported. The
cars furnished met about half tho demands,and
the assistanco of individual cars again drew
the producers from a large-sized hole. The de
mand for coke is of enormous proportions, and
the productive capacity of 'c-5ls amply
able to meet it were even moderate means of
transportation offered. Railroad companies
are sud to have evinced a determination to
guard against these destructive car famines,
which have been too frequently visiting the
c.ke region, by equipping' cars especially
aa-pted for the coke service, but if they have
done so it has been behind the curtains. At
present, were ears at band, shipments would be
800 and 1,000 cars more in the week.
Trade rests under the most auspicious con
ditions for the future as far as the demand is
concerned. The Iron trade, on which the suc
cess of the coke trade depends, is quite
active, and from persons who seem
to. be thoroughly acquaintea With the
surroundings it is likely to maintain
its present trait. Furnaces are still in a dan
gerous condition from the failures of orders to
reach tbem. An official or the Hostettcr Coke
Company stated last week that two of their
furnace customers would be forced to suspend
operations if thev did not secure cars to get
the coke to tbein. Furnaees East and West
have the supply in thetr stock "bouses, which
were filled during the summer season, almost
exhausted. The Illinois Rolling Mill Com
pany is compelled 10 draw about 50 cars per day
from their stock piles. Their daily consump
tion is over 200 cars. Railroad officials take a
hopeful survey ofithe situation. They contend
that the car famine is now at Its worst, and an
improvement is sure to follow, as cars will soon
be coming In that were utilized in shipping
grain, etc.
Coke at several of the yards of the plants has
been stocked to such an extent that a prompt
removal only will avert a suspension. Despite
all the difficulties so far experienced with
transportation facilities, this is going to be a
most prosperous year for the coke trade. All
indications point to that end. The five day
operations lor works as a, a general rule has
given away to the six day rule. All the com
panies are running six days save a couple inde
pendent companies, who are still observing the
one day per week shutdown. Nothing has
been neara iurtner oi tue rumor mentioned
last week in connection with a slight advance
in prices. It is generally denied. The idle
list of ovens is still about 1,800. Preparations ara
being made to resume the LeiseneringNo. 1
plant of 500 oven, which has been out for some
time. The Charlotte plant of 87 ovens hero
will resume with the Charlotte furnace. Two
hundred and fifty new ovens have been com
pleted at Leisenering. Shipments last week
averaged 1.118 cars per day. against 1,095 cars
of the week before. The Increase was 270 cars.
The following was the distribution: To points
west of Pittsburg, 4,125 cars: to Pittsburg and
river points, 1,500; t points east of Pittsburg,
1,125 cars; total, 6.810 cars. The lollowing was

TAKEN ON THE WING.
Chat About Real Estate While Going
Forty Miles an Hoar.
SOME BIG THINGS ON THE STRING.
Effective Protest Against a Stock Company
Eefasing Information.
THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI
Gossipy conversation between two well
known business men was overheard yester
day morning. They were passengers on the
TJniontown Express, and their thoughts ran
upon real estate, of which they posess a
goodly share. It is given for what it is
worth.
First Speaker I hear that Mr. "Westing
house has been offered $100,000 for a tract
of land adjoining the switch and signal works
at Swissvale. Do you know anything about it?
Second Speaker I suppose you mean the
property where the bridge crosses the railroad.
Wasn't it sold a short time agof I heard it
was. Perhaps Mr. Westinghouse bought It on
speculation. I think he had better go slow out
there. If business of the signal works con
tinues to grow enlargement will soon be neces
sary, and considerable ground will be required
for new buildings and additional railroad
tracks. I think he will And use for all the
ground be owns in that locality, and that the
salo of any part of It would be a mistake. Bat
I suppose he knows what be is dolnir.
First Speaker You know something about
the McKelvey farmT Well, a gentleman told
me yesterday or the day before that Eastern
men Philadelphlans, I think were dickering
for 70 acres of it. They want to buy on the
Swissvale side, and their object, as I under
stand It, is to establish large brick and tile
works, and also to quarry stone, of which there
is a large deposit of a very good quality. The
story is reasonable enough, but we hear so
much nowadays that it is bard to sift the trne
from the false. Such an enterprise would give
Swissvale a big boost.
Second Speaker John McKelvey told a
friend of mine sometime ago that be had had
an offer for part of his place.
First Speaker It is stated that tho sale of
the Splane corner is "off." This is not singu
lar, since it never was "on." In my opinion it
will ne picked np before long by a prominent
banker. I know he wants it, and is willing to
pay a big price for it.
Second speaker Then yon think the Penn
sylvania Railroad .is shut out.
First speaker Yes, so far as the corner is
concerned, where inside rumor has it that a
fine bank building is to be erected. It is hinted
that the railroad will occupy the rest of the
block and build to front on Fifth avenue.
Stock and Grain Gossip.
From yesterday's Wall street and Chicago
correspondence of W. W. Vensel, 115 Fourth
avenne, the following of interest to local in
vestors is culled:
The failure of the Bank of England to ad
vance Its rate produced a favorable influence
upon the London market, which was reflected
by higher prices at onr opening hero, but
shortly after the opening hour the bears be
came active and sold stocks liberally on early
information in reeard to the Cbicaso, Burline
ton and Quincy statement, the exhibit made by
this company being even worse than bad been
anticipated. Reports from Boston indicate
considerable disappointment there and made
the feeling on the Granger stocks decidedly
bearish. The result was a fractional decline
for all the shares interested, which affected the
general list and caused generally lower prices
at the close. Money was bid up to(5 per cent
by the bears as a side demonstration, and all
told there was nothing particularly encourag
ing from a bull point of view to-day.
Notwithstanding these unfavorable Influ
ences we continue hopeful and believe in the
bull side. Our reports from general trade and
mercantile circles are very encouraging. The
cotton crop is likely to be the largest we have
ever bad. We are getting higher prices for
ourgraln, and even if we do not export the
farming community reaps the benefit.- Legiti
mate trade is active, cdUcctiont'are reported as
better, and onr manufacturing interests are
certain to be benefited by the tariff law. The
result will be that the country will make
money.
At Chicago wheat closed dull and easy. The
shipment of 4,880.000 bushels from India. Bal
tic and other ports for the week, BradslreeCt
report of an increaso of 2,353,000 bushels in tho
available supply, and lower cables, caused a
weaker feellne. The probability of bad
weather interfering with farmers' deliveries
in the Northwest caused the shorts to operate
carefully, and the result was a very quiet mar
ket. Corn was easier, with Hutchinson a free
seller. Oats were quiet and dull. Provisions
were lamer on the publication of stocks, which
were larger than the public expected.
News of the St-cet.
The scramble for bonses next spring prom
ises to be unprecedented. Tenants should hold
on to tbelr places unless they have a certainty
of securing others.
W. A. Herron S; Sons The delay in furnish
ing street improvements in the East End hurts
the sale of property out there to some extent.
Contractors would earn the everlasting grati
tude of the people by rushing their work.
The most Important of 29 mortgages on file
yesterday was for $6,000. Eleven were for pur
chase money.
J. C. Reilly The value of real estate on
Wylie avenue, between Fifth avenue and Tun
nel street, has greatly increased in the past
year or two, but above Tunnel street there has
been no perceptible change. The drift of
things is that way. however, and I think the
entire avenue will soon lall into line with the
progressive thoroughfares.
Investors should bear in mind the Orphans'
Conrt sale of valuable Diamond street prop
erty on Saturday. 25th inst.
An East Knder talking abont things gener
ally yesterday, said Gazzam's Hill conld easily
be converted into a handsome park, and is
worth little for any other purpose. Being cen
trally located, it could be reached by a large
number of people, who will probably never

Latter SnfTers From ibe Refusal of Man
ngersto Give Inlormntlon.
Luster was the center of Interest at the local
stock market yesterday, when the life was
pretty tborougbly knocked out of it, but
whether lor good and all is doubtful, for the
raid upon it was probably more a freak than
for any substantial reason. Still it cannot be
denied that the withholding of information by
the officials has caused considerable dissatis
faction among holders of the stock, and caused
a suspicion that a screw was lose somewhere.
Yesterday's break, therefore, was more of a
protest acainst the close-mouthed methods of
the management than an expression of loss of
confidence in the property.
Itonened en a bid of 18, with none offered.
On second call 16 was bid. Still no sales. On
third call it started at 17. sold at 1 17 and
finally at 10J. rallying at the finish, which was
17 bid. Only 70 shares changed hands. At any
timo durinctheday, it is believed, a little ju
dicious buying would have turned the tide, but
the friends of the stock withheld support, prob
ably as a test of strength under a determined
bearassanlt.
At last call Central Traction was bid down to
25 Westinghouse Electric to 33 and Switch
and Signal to 15. Pipeage was offered down to
15, but closed a fraction better. Pittsbnrg
ami Castle Shannon Railroad came out of a
long sleep on a bid Of 6, with 10i asked. Phila
delphia Gas was' fractionally stronger. The
remainder of th list underwent no material
change.

NEW Y0KK STOCKS.
Both Sides Walilnsfor Developments Benra
Attack Unprotected r-pots Treasury
Disbursements Likely to Enter
Railroad Stocks.
New York, October 2. The stock market
to-day has been duller and more stagnant than
on any day since before the monetary strin
gency, and as far as the conrse of prices in an
ticipation both sides are again waiting for de
velopments with the usual accompaniment of
dullness and its alternate of bear attacks upon
the unprotected spots in the list.
The opinion is generally expressed that we
have not yet begun to feel the real effects of
the heavy treasury disbursements of the past
month, and when that money really seeks in
vestment a large proportion of it must go into
railroad stocks and bondB. Railroad stocks to
day, however, were very uninteresting, there
being apparently no influential interest at
work that could make any impression upon
prices in either direction, and while the usual
dullness induced the traders to take the short
side late in the day, the fluctuations were
confined to the smallest tractioi.s.
The Ions delayed publication of the Burling
ton and Quincy earnings for the month of Au
gust occurred to-day, and as expected they
showed a material loss from those of last year,
the decrease in the net being 5319,00a The ef
fect seemed to have been pretty well dis
counted and after a fractional rise, made in all
probability to sell on, a fractional recession oc
curred. There was considerable selling of
Suear Refineries during the forenoon and a de
cline of nearly 2 per cent was brought about.
notwithstanding the passage of the new tariff
law, but rnmors were afloat that the dividend
would not be paid, as the money had been lost
on suits etc The bears made the loss in earn
ings on the Burlington the occasion of an at
tack upon the Grangers in general and inci
dentally upon the general list, but while Bur
lineton lost 1 from its best price. Rock
Island suffered as much, while Sugar, which
had been very weak in the forenoon, showed
considerable recuperative power and rose a
fraction. The dealings on the whole were with
out special feature of interest, and the close
was very dull and heavy to weak, at about the
lowest prices of the day.
The final changes show a majority of losses,
but they are, for tho most part, small fractions,
the only important ones being Pacific Mail 1,
and Sngar Vyi, while Wheelinz and Lake Erie
preferred rose 1 per cent, ana with Chicago
Gas, was: the only stock showing any real
strength throucb the entire day.
The railroad bond list was slightly more
active than usual of late, but there was the
usual slight changes, even among tho active
issues. Only in Houston and Texas general
and the Union Pacific 4's were there anv move
ment of importance, both beinc weak In the
extreme. The total sales reached $941,000, out
of which Atchison incomes furnished $132,000
and the Texas Pacific second incomes $120000.
Government bonds have been dull and steady.
State bonds have been dull and steady.
The J'ost says: The rates for exchange were
higher again to-day, and a very little more ad
vance will probably result In some exports of
gold. There would be nothing unusual iu this,
as a renewal of gold exports has occurred for
two years past in October or November. But
this year there appears to be reason for expect
ing some lareer gold shipments than nsual,
owing to the recent large decrease in tne me
talic reserve of the Bank of England. There
has been a rather nnusual withdrawal of com
from the Bank of England since the middle of
September for circulation in Scotland and
other narts of Great Britain, but the greater
fact is the withdrawals of gold for South
America, which have probably been something
like 1,500,000, or say from $7,000,000 to $8,000,000
in the last four weeks. These heavy with
drawals of gold have caused a good deal of un
easiness in London. The evidences of this un
easiness were manifested in the sudden ad
vance paid here for cable transfer to London
on Tuesday, showing that there were appre
hensions in regard to the settlement in London
on October L But the fact that the Bank of
England did not advance itsrate of discount
to-day Is evidence that the governors of the
bank do not regard the situation as being so
serious as might otherwise be Inferred.

Groceries.
Demand for all staple groceries continues
active, with no change in prices. Green coffee
keeps tending upward in Eastern markets, but
packages chance not. There is no let-up to the
strong tea market. Sngar is fairly steady.
The effect of the new tariff has not yet ap
peared, but all jobbers agree that it must raise
the prices of all foreign and canned fruits atan
early day. Such an advance will be more felt
than nsual this season, owing to the scarcity
and high price of domestic fruit.

CHICAGO Wheat Rather dull was the way
dealers generally expressed themselves in re
gard to the condition of the market to-day.
Outside orders were few. and there was only a
light local business transacted. There were
spurts of activity, and then the market would
settle down and rule very dull.
There was nothing encouraging In the way of
outside news, and the market was governed
mainly by the operations of local speculators.
The opening was ia higher than yester
day's closing. Immediately eased oil c, recov
ered the decline, and then prices dropped 5c,
held steady and closed at about the same as
yesterday.
Core was qnlet the greater part of the session
and trading was confined mainly to professional
operators. The feeling developed was weaker.
First trades were at Jc advance, prices ruling
firm lor a time, then ueclined c parties who
bought yesterday selling qnhe freely, ruled
steadier and closed with a slight loss.
Oats were slow and easy and without special
features. Trading was chiefly In May with a
light business in October. There W3S no special
pressure to buy or sell, and prices held within
a narrow limit.
Mess Pork A fairly active trade was re
ported during the early part of the session.
Toward the close a quiet and rather easy feel
ing prevailed. Opening sales were made at 50
7c advance and a further slight improvement
was gained temporarily. Later, prices receded
15017c. and the market closed steady.
Lard At the opening prices were about 2c
higher. Later, prices settled back 67c and
closed rather quiet.
Short Ribs Trading was only moderate.
Early a few sales were made at slightly Im
proved prices. Later, prices receded &7c
and the market closed quiet.

were looking for selections and outside millers
for tho same character of wheat. Good wheat
went well all day. Receipts of wheat yesterday

July to $2,128; August. $2,777, and for the month
of September only $218. It thus appears thas
June weather was most damaging to the fruits
and vegetables consigned to our markets, and
the middle month or summer proved least
damaging. Very large quantities of melon!
shipped from the South entered into the con
demnat'on for the month of August.
Salt Selllntr Frre'r.
The Pittsburg and Allegheny salt companies
are now turning out salt to the amount of 500
barrels daily of the best on tho market, and
flni ready sale for their entiro output. This is
the busy season of the year for this Industry.

claim that there is little in the business but
glory. The ordinary grades are sold at 90c per
barrel In car lots, and better grades at $110.
The different companies are combined, and
goods are sold at unitorm rates through a cen
tral office.
Drveoods.
New York. October 2. There was rather
more snlrlt to demand for drygoods at both
first and second hands, jobbers being fairly
Dusy with the nearby trade, and an increased
inquiry for staples being realized by agents,
the movement being attributed partly to the
settlement of tariff legislation, whereby an
upward tendency is imparted to values.
THE SKIN-
Is an important factor in keeping
good health; if it does not act in the
way intended by nature, its functions
are performed by other organs,
the Kidneys and the Lungs; and the
result is a breakdown of general health.
Swift's Specific
is the remedy of nature to stimulate
the skin to proper action. It never .
fails in this, and always accomplishes
the purpose.
Send for our treatise on the Blood
and Skin Diseases.
