IRON TRADE REVIEW.
The Finished Products Are in De
mand, Bat Raw Material Dnll.
A-FEATURE OF ENCOURAGEMENT.
Manufacturers Are Carrying Light Stocks
and Must Soon Purchase.
.REPORTS PROM THE LEADING CENTERS
The situation as to iron and steel is prac
tically as it was a week ago. In the lines
of finished products there is a good demand
for all produced, but raw irons are dull.
The situation is still in buyers' favor, as it
has been for the past few weeks. The
amount of stock: in hands of manufacturers
is not quite up to what it was a year ago at
this time. It is plain that manufacturers
of finished products are pursuing the hand
to mouth policy, as is natural in view of
weak and declining markets. One ot our
leading brokers had this to say as to situa
tion of markets: "The mills are doing well,
but furnace men are not having their share
of the active trade."
Raw irons are dull, and the situation is
still in favor of the buyer as it has been for
weeks past. The encouraging leature of
markets is the fact that manufacturers of
finished products are carrying light stocks
of raw iron, ana thereiore must of necessity
buy heavily in the near iuture. There is a
good demand for nails, with prices un
changed. Structural iron is also in active demand.
Steel rails are goiug out as fast as produced,
and orders already in insure a demand for
the entire output to the close of theyear. At
the Edgar Thomson Works the daily yield
is close to 1,300 tons of steel rails, and there
is no accumulation of stock.

FLEST? OF ORDERS
With Stocks That Arp Small nnd Prices
. Tbnt Are Fnlr.
rSr-ECIAI. TXLrGBAH TO THB DISPATCH.'
Philadelphia, October 3. Tnere is, very
little change m the iron market at the present
time, the market being in a condition of anx
iety ascribed to an uncertainty as to the work
logs of tho McKinley tariff bill. There has
been very little change in the market for the
past month. Skelp iron show s an advance of
2, and merchant bars about $1 per ton.
As to the immediate outlook there are
plenty ot orders with small stocks and
fair prices, Tnere is every reason
to believe that the present activity will con
tinue until tbe end of the year. There is some
apprehension tor tbe future owing to the large
production. Tne marketfor pig iron continues
firm. Prices that have been quoted for tho
week have been 617 S01S 25, delivered, for No.
1 foundry; SIB 50017 for No. 2. and $15gl5 50 for
Cray force. Tbesumlv is liardlv ecual to thn
aemand at these prices. Bessemer pig is slow
at 18 50 at f nrnace for standard qualities and
21 50 for high grade Bessemer, M nek bars
are very strong at $30 at the mil'. Customers
do not feel inclined to pay tbe price asked.
The demand for bar iron is steadily maintained
and the mills are overrun witb work. Such
stock as is being manufactured is being rapidly
absorbed.
The usual quotations are l.S5L90c at city
mills and L75S1. 80c at mills in the interior.
Tne mills are crowded witn orders for skeins,
and orders for early dcliverr are bard to place.
The quotations are 2-U52.1Uc oelivered, for
grooved, and 2.202.25c for sheared. The mills
are busy that are making plates. Tbe prices
continue firm at the following figures: Ship
plates, 2.2o2.30c: tank, 2.252.30c; bridge plate,
2.302.40c: fpell,2.45S2.55c: flange.3.103.20c,aud
firebox, 3.75c Sirucmra iron continues un
changed at tbe following prices, delivered at
consumers' yards: Angles, 2.202.30c; sheared
plates. 2.4062.50c: tecs, 2.07T2.0oc and beams
and channels, 3.01c The demand for sheet iron
is very active, the following prices ruiinc for
li-st refined: Nos. 11 to 20, 3.00ai0c; Nos. 21 to

CARS ARE SCARCE,
And This Prevents the Knpld Decrease of
Mock on liand.
ISrECIAX. TEX.EGUASI TO THE DISPATCH-l
St. Louis, October 3. Rogers, Brown &
.Meacham say: There has been practically no
change in our market since last week, con
sumption, purchases and inquiries continuing
on about the same scale at unchanged figures.
Available stocks in tbe South for early ship
ments are not large, and they would be smaller
if the car supply were better. The same cause
is seriously diminishing coke shipments, with
no prospects of early improvement. We quote

A "WHOLESOME EFFECT.
The Iteault of the c-TatHf Law Upon the
Iron 3iarUci.
CiscrsNATT, October a Rogers, Brown A
Co. say: The influences controlling the market
are stronger as the week closes. The passage
of the tariff bill has had a wholesome effect be
causo it is recognized that it settles in satisfac
tory form and Drobably for years the whole
question of tariff i-gilation as affecting tbe
iron industries of the country. It is believed
that so long as prices remain so low. there Mill
be a consumptne deuiaud that will tax the
iron and steel producinc capacity of the coun
try to the utmost for years to come. Tbe de
mand for the week has been largely for gray
1 orcc and for mottled gra dc, Bcj ing of f oun
ilrv iron also has been liberal.
The car orks are getting heavy new orders
and require material to cover. General foun
dry and mill business is active and prospects
good. The believers in higher prices for this
fall and winter are much more numerous than
they were two weeks ago. There is no longer
any trouble about money matters and the weak
holders of warrants and outside lots who were
compelled to liquidate during the stringency
are now about all shaken out.
SHIPMENTS NOT SO HEAVY.
The Southern Fnrnncea Are Catcbluff Up
With Their Order..
tSFECIAI. TELEOBAH TO THE DISPXTCH.t
Birmingham, Ala.. October 3. Tho heavy
thipmentsof pig iron reponed last week have
fallen off, the furnaces having caught up with
orders on hand. The volume of business re
mains practically unchanged. Buyers are tak
ing small lots as they need iron for immediate
use, but there seems to be no disposition to buy
nhead. Some offers for large lot a little below
ruling prices have been declined. Manufact
urers are holding firm at present prices.
The two coke furnaces at Annislon shnt
clown at the end nr last week to make some
needed repairs. They have considerable stock
on hand, nOilluot blow in until this is re
duced or prices advance.
Manager Allen, of tho American Storage
Warehouses in this district, is at work on his
annual report, which will be completed some
lime this month. While the output of the dis
trict has been largely increased by tho blowing
in of new furnaces, tbe stock of iron in the
warehouses is less than one year ago.

A GEEATEB BTJYIHB HOVEMEKT
In the Chicago Market Than for Homo Time
Pni.
rSFSCIXI. TZLIGBXK TO THE DISVATCH.I
Chicago, October 3. Rogors. Bowman &
Mervinsay: The week just closed has shown
a greater buying movement in the' Chicago
market than for considerable time back. Sev
eral large blocks of Southern carwheel Iron
hive been placed. There has also been con
siderable activity in Northern and Southern
coke irons, a number of good-sized orders hav
ing been booked. Buyers who have been hold
ing off for tho past 90 days are now buying,
many of tbem coming into the market, as their
supplies are running sbort, and it is generally
recognized that lower prices than those now
ruling are not likely to prevail. There is bnt
little demand at present for Lake Superior
charcoals, though inquiries are more active in
this department.
Silveries and soft irons continue to be called
for in moderate amounts. The heavy con
sumption is still going on without abatement,
but a serious drawback Is the extreme scarcity
ot cars, which is delaying shipments in every
direction. We quote for cash f. o. b. Chicago
same as last weex.
THE MAEKET BASKET.
Fruit Celling nt Renaonnble Figures Abun-
ditncti of Grapes nt Low Unlet Yoie-
tnblo Crop Better Abrond
Than at llome.
In fruit lines grapes have the field, and are
at their lowest price for tbe season. With 10
pound baskets of grapes selling at 25 cents in
a jobbing way, it cannot be said that fruit is
dear. Apples are also in bountiful supply and
markets give signs of weakness. Our fruit
supplies are mainly from the West. Through
out tbe region of which Pittsburg is the center
there is practically no fruit this season, and if
our country was not very big, embracing all
climates, there would be a famine of fruit.
Crops in the Western States, and particu
larly on the Pacific slope, have been very
good this season, and from that direction
our supply is now coming. The vegetable
crop as well as the fruit crop is light in tbe
vicinity ot Pittsburg this season, and prices
are much above the average. The cost of po
tatoes is more than double what it has been
for years at this time, and prospects are for
still higher prices. In the line of ocean
products prices are the same as a week ago.
Supply of oysters and Western fish is barely
equal to demand. Staple meats rarely change,
no matter what the ups and downs of live stock
maybe, and our quotations In this line stand as
they uave been for months past.

THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE C1TT
Although real estate bas been a little
quiet on the surface for a few days quiet in
regard to large deals there is, and has been
all along, an active movement in small
properties cheap building lots picked np
by working people whereon to build homes.
From all sides come complaints of a
scarcity of tenement houses. Building is
active, but it falls far short of the demand.
To snpply this want is a problem for home
capitalists to solve, and the sooner they get
to work at it the better for the city. It is
doubtful if they can find more profitable
employment for their money certain none
that is safer. The field is still open to them,
bnt if they hesitate much longer it may be
taken np by outsiders, who are already mov
ing in this direction. It is understood that
a building company at Columbus, O., has
closed a contract for a block of about 100
houses at Charleroi, to be finished in 90 days.
The company operates under the Carskadon
patent. It will turn its attention to Pittsburg
when through at Charleroi. At least that is
the talk.
Talking about the outlook for real estate yes
terday, Mr. J. E. Glass expressed the opinion
that the market is in its infancy strong on its
feet for a stripling, but just beginning to
grow. He took tbe position, which Is perfectly
sound, that Pittsburg possesses so many man
ufacturing and commercial advantages that
her prosperity is assured for all time. As
growth and business increase, people will be
forced more and more to bnild homes in the out
skirts. This will bring improved property Into
the market. With this prospect in view it is
folly to talk about reaction. There is no more
reason to apprehend a decline in Pittsburg
realty than there is a repudiation of Govern
ment bonds.
Acreage is being absorbed quite rapidly, Cat
fortunately there is enough of It to give home
sites to several millions of people, and there is
no danger of a famine nor that prices will get
beyond reasonable bounds. A full supply of
building lots being assured, public attention
should be directed to ways and means for
furnishing an adequate supply of bouses to
accommodate all who want to locate in and
enjoy the great prosperity of this community.

Some interesting features were developed in
Wall street and Ch'cago speculative circles
yesterday, which are set forth in the following
communication to W. W. Vensel, 115 Fourth
avenue:
We have bad a weak market from the open
ing to tbe close to-day. the final prices being
the lowest, and tbe feeling has been more de
moralized than we have seen it during tbe late
unsatisfactory market. There is no use fight
ing against the present condition of affairs; the
trading world is bearishly inclined, so we will
probably have lower prices. There were no de
velopments which should have hurt prices, St.
Paul publishing good earnings, a.id money, in
spite of the heavy payments which will have to
be made under the tariff bill by to-morrow's
close was in fairly good snpply at from 4 to 5
per cent. The bears are m control and seem to
be having their way. and under these circum
stances we have not the spunk to advise our
friends to buy stocks, although we believe
them cheap.
At Chicago all speculative articles were ex
ceptionally dnll to-day. There seems to be a
disposition on the part of some of our best
traders to buy whenever the price of wheat
drops under SI and think they have ac
cumulated large lines, and some day
or other the shorts will wako up
with a large loss staring them in the face.
Cables are firm, and as there is no long wheat
for sale it looks as though the attempts to sus?
tain prices are general. We think it dangerous
to be short at present prices,for awhile at least.
Provisions are. somewhat inactive. Large
stocks at band and abroad are the weak feat
ures, while the high price of corn ana oats is
the bull card.

of
Market.
There was next to 'nothing done by the local
oil crowd yesterday. Just before the close 1,000
barrels found a buyer at 80, which was the top
and closing- pi ice. The opening and lowest
were 79. Clearings were 18.000 barrels.
There was no feeling of any kind other than
of quiet resignation until the producers de
velop their plans for fighting the Standard and
getting up competition.

NEW YOKK STOCKS.
Grangera Apparently the Weak Element
Forces of Depreaslon Tamed on
ConI Industrials Quiet A Read
ing Story on tho Stree,!.
New York October a The stock market
to-day presented tbe old spectacle of intense
dullness in the general list, but comparative
activity In spots, which .were the special object
of bear attacks, and, while material declines
were forced in those few stocks, comparative
firmness ruled where quotations were wont to
takecaroof themselves. The interest excited
by the decreased earnings of tbe Grangers for
tbe month of August seems to have entirely
subsided, and it is believed that the short in
terest which expected to cover in the publica
tion of the news, has liquidated with the usual
consequence of dullness and comparative stag-
The forces of depression were tnrned to-day
upon the coal stocks and in defiance of tbe im
proved condition of tbe coal roads and the
brighter prospects for the coming winter,
severe drives were made, with Reading the
principal target, and in that stock a marked de
cline was brought about. Tbe other stocks
which suffered were St. Paul and Union
Pacific, while Lackawanna, Delaware & Hud
son and Jersey Central were comparatively
well held. The news of the day was not speci
ally important, but special reduction in rates
In the West was canceled, and Sonthwestern
stocks, while quite weak, were not prominent
in dealing. The industrials were quiet, but
tbe prospects of cotton seed oil being a little
brighter, there was a disposition to buy it, but
tbe movements in none of the trusts were
worthy of mention. The dron in Readin? was
made remarkable by the offerings of seUer, 60
options at 1 per cent below tbe market, when it
showed a disposition to rally, but when all
these offerings were quickly taken they were
quickly withdrawn. North American became
the feature in tbe last hour, but Northern
Pacific preferred. Union Pacific. Atchison and
New England were also conspicuous in the
late declines and there is little donbt that some
long stock was forced out by tbe raid.
Tne story on the board which received most
attention v. as that tbe pool in Reading has
been unloading, and tbe story was used for all
it is worth to lrighten out holders, not only in
that stock but in all tbe active specialties. The
market, while displaying a tendency to rally in
the late rally, was met with more vigor and the
close was fairly active and n eak at tbe lowest
prices of the day. The whole list is lower to
night, and Readingis off2;North American,
1: New England and Union Pacific each 1;
St. Paul and Big Four, each IK; Missouri Pa
cific, Burlington, and Wheeling and Lake Erie,
each 1; Northern Pacific preferred and At
chison, each lper cent, and others fractional
amounts.
Railroad bonds were dnll, the total transac
tions reaching only 764,000, and while tbe mar
ket was held fairly well in tbe forenoon, weak
ness appeared later in the day and most final
changes are in the direction of lower prices
with few marked losses. Tbe Texas Pacific
issues and the Atchison Issues were the only
ones attracting any special attention and they
were comparatively dull, and losing ground
toward the close. Government bonds have been
dull and steady. State bonds have been en.
tirely neglected.
The Pout says: The Granger stocks are ap
parently tbe weak element in tbe stock mar
ket, ana the continual hammering and short
selling of these, Dased upon tbe presumption
of the shortage of the crops west of the
Missouri, undoubtedly helps to depress all
other railroad securities, and as long as tbe
market continues demoralized with the con
tinual raiding ot the bears investors hold off.
It is true that some of tbe Granger's stocks
are still comparatively higb, considering their
dividends and prospects. Rock Island paying
4 per cent and selling at 80; St. Paul paying
nothing and selling at 65 are certainly much
higher than Western Union at 83, or C. C. C. &
St. L. at 6S, or Richmond Terminal preferred
at 76. But Burlington, though the chief point
of bear attacks, is not so high at 95 as either of
the above.

stocks on the Hew York Stock Exchange yester
day. Corrected dally for The Dispatch by

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Friday is usually the big day of the week in
this line. This Friday has developed nothing
unusual and volume of trade has been below
late average. Grapes have the lead in fruit
lines. Prices are at their lowest for this sea
son. Markets are over-stocked with a low
grade of potatoes and prices are nominal.
Choice grades are active and firm at outside
quotations. Apples are in good supply and de
mand is light. Until the grape crop is worked
off all other fruits will be forced into tbe back
ground. There already is an Improved demand
for California fruits and prices will, no doubt,
be advanced at an early day.

Groceries.
All foreign fruits are already advanced in
New York because of increased tariff duty.
but there has been no change in this market.
French peas and canned mushroom have been
advanced SI 50 a case as a result of the new
tariff. Sugars are very strong and an advance
in prices cannot long be delayed from present
appearances. Coffees are steady. The upward
movement of tea still continues. Wholesale
grocers report a continued active movement of
all staple groceries.

follows: 5 cars of hay, i of oats, 2 of corn, 1 of

Chicago, 1 car of wheat, 2 of flour, 4 of hay.
By Baltimore and Ohio, 1 car of flour. By Pitts
burg and Lake Erie, 1 car of oats, 1 of bran, 1
of flour. Oats and flour are dull owing to
heavy receipts, and jobbers are content to f ur
nisn the goods at cost. Advices from the
Northwest point to higher prices at an early
day. Choice grades of hay are scarce and firm
at quotations. Inferior grades are dull. Recent
wet weather, by improving the grass crop, has
had a depressing influence on corn and oats.
The oldest inhabitant does not remember the
time when the hay crop was as large in this
section as it is this season. The advance i n this
line partially offsets the scarcity of corn and
oats.

MARKETS BY WIRE.
A Dnr of Comparative Stnsnntlon In the
Chicago Grain Pit Few Fluctuations
nnd no Mntcrinl Change! In
Pricea Pork Qnlet.
CHICAGO Wheat This was the dullest day
witnessed for many days. Orders were few,
and even local operators found but little of in
terest in the market.;; Fluctuations were within
narrow limits. The opening was a sbadelower,
about Qic below yesterday; advanced
c, eased off slightly and closed lic higher
than yesterday.
Corn There was moderate trading within a
range of c, with no special change to
values, the market ruling comparatively firm.
Price changes were due mainly to the opera
tions of local traders and the fluctuations of
wheat, nothing new of consequence being re
ceived from the outside.
Oats were qniet and steady and without new
features of importance. October developed "a
little more strength owing to small offerings
and a fair demand.
Mess pork An unusually light business was
transacted. Prices averazed a trifle higher and
closed quiet at medium figures.
Lard Only a moderate trade was reported.
The tone of the market was rather easy and
prices ruled about 25c lower, and tbe mar
ket closed steady.
Sbort ribs were confined to narrow limits.
Prices averaged about 2Xc lower and the mar
ket closed qniet at outside prices.

HIVES LNTEIXIGENCE.
Higher Water Slake Things Rather Lively
Along the Levee.
The calculations of the Weather Bureau for
high water were verified yesterday. Most of
it came from tbe headwaters of tbe Monongx.
hela, where tbe rainfall bas been heavy dnrlnjr
the past few days, but the Allegheny contrib
uted considerable, which helped to swell ths
Ohio. Coal operators were expecting tbe high,
water, and had everything in shipshape when
it arrived. Quite a run of coal to Southern
markets will be made while tbe water remains.
The Monongahela raised five feet in 24 hours,
and rlvermen think that 21 feet will be here be
fore tbe freshet runs ont.
Business at tbe wharf boats was exceedingly
lively during the day. A great amount of
freight had accumulated, on account of tha
boats running irregularly. At tbe Cincinnati
wbarf boat freight was received subject to
delay. The line is badly handicapped, two
boats being out of tbe service, but the manage
ment succeeds in satisfying shippers, and tha
patrons are content to bear with some delay,
until tbe other boats resume.
Nearly 800.000 bushels of coal will be sent out
on this rise to Cincinnati, Louisville and other
markets.

THE Ironsides bas passed Cincinnati, en route
to this port. It was reported a few days ago that
the Rlrerton Boat and liarge Line Company

sold.

"My tronble began about six years ago. when
I was engaged in the flour and feed business,"
said Mr. F. W. Withers, a well-known Alle
ghenian, who lives at 128 Main street; "I was
taken with freqnent noe-bleed. and some days
it would bleed several times. Soonmynoss
became raw and sore on both sides and it be-
Witheri.
came so stopped up tbat I conld scarcely
breathe through it, I had pain about my eyes,
dizziness and noises in my bead. In the morn
ing there seemed to be a shadow over my eyes.
Then tbe catarrhal secretion began to drop
into my throar. causing me to hawk and spit.
"Finally.af ter suffering for about three years,
I took typhoid pneumonia, and from that timo
I rapidly grew worse. Sly lungs became very
weak and I felt a tight, oppressive feeling la
my cbest: my breath became sbort and a cough
set in. My appetite failed, I bad a full, un
comfortable feeling arter eating, and my
stomach felt very sore and tender. I could not
sleep well and I bad a viearv. tired teellng.
Every change of weather would cause me to
take cold, night sweats weakened me and I lost
flesh.
"Having seen several testimonials of cures
made by tbe catarrh specialists at 323 Pena
avenue. I decided to take a course of their
treatment. I bad used local treatment from a
doctor, but got no better. I am now clad to
testif v to my complete and nermanent enre by
these'specialists. F. W. WITHERS."
