American Wire Eods Hare Driven Out the Foreign Article. THE SITUATION ACROSS THE OCEAN isrxcnx. miosiic to tot: dispatch-I Xetv Yoke, October 9. The iron Age to-day quotes the American iron and metal markets as follows: American Fig. It is the general opinion that the output of standard No. 1 foundry iron is still closely taken up between the deliveries making on old contracts and the current dally sales. This grade, therefore, remains quite firm. No. 2 foundry is not in largely excessive supply, yet enough comes ont to keep the price about SI 50 per ton below that of the higher grade. Mill iron is plentiful and the weak article on the list in company with Bessemer pig, sales of which are said to have been made at less than $18 at furnace for standard quality. There is little to say of present demand, except that a con servative tendency is manifested by consumers generally and the offerings reveal no pressure to sell on the part of producers or dealers. Prices remain substantially as given hereto fore. We continue to quote $17 6018 for No. 1. and $16 0016 50 for No. 2 foundry, good Northern brands 17 C0S17 60 for No. 1, $16 U0 16 25 for No. 2. and $14 7o15 25 for No. 3 South ern. Car wheel iron remains at about $2021 for Nos. 3. 4 and 5, and $19 6O02G 00 for Nob. 1 and 2, delivered. 8 lbgclisenandFerro Manganese Very little doing and the condition of the market is prac ticallv the same as it was last week. Con sumers claim to be well snpDlied and sellers hold to about former prices. Twenty per cont. Spiegel is at $30 506531 for German and about S31KS31 60 for English. On 80 per cent, ferro $70 is the general quotation. The prices are relatively considerably above those at which finished products are selling. Steel Billets No particular change has taken place the past week. The demand is slow in all sections, and $2$29 50 at mill is quoted, with the market barely steady. Wire Roils Domestic have been sold at as low as $41 00341 50 at mill. This price is con siderably below the cost to import foreign rods, and there is practically no new business in the latter. Structural Iron and Steel New business in this line is on a rather moderate scale, but the mills keen well emplo ed and prices remain steady. We quote at 2.25c for universal mill plates delivered; 2.10J-25c tor angles; 260 2.70c for tees, and 3.1c lor beams. Steel Rail Several orders have been placed, involving a total of abont 7,000 tons for delivery during the next thiee months. Exact prices are not divulged but intimated to be chiefly on the basis of $30. at Eastern mills, for standard secti . with 50c more obtained for small lots. Comparatively little new business requiring deliveries this year is under way at the vrescnt time. There is quite a number of inquiries for 1S91 delivery, however, aud some contracts are understood to have been taken with prices to be definitely settled later on. Old rails There has been rather more in quiry, particularly from the West, but buyers' views rarelv go above $.5 for tee. That price is 50cl 00 under the figures asked, and little bun.es goes through. Scrap iron Sales have been made of 300 to 400 tons No. 1 wrought at $21 5922 CO f. n. b. cars at Jersey City, and there is j et a very fair demand. A I0WEE LEVL OF PfilCES On Pig Iron Warrants Reported From the Foreign Markets. SrFCIALTELEGItAll TO TUB DISPATCH.: New Yoke, October 9. The iron Age to-day qnotes the British iron and metal markets as follows from London: In pig iron warrants there has been some irregularity, with a rather loner level of prices all along the line under the influence of realizations, but a stronger feeling manifested the past few days, and a re action in prices to 52 od for Scotch, 49s for Cle veland and 61s for hematites. There is at pres ent a feeling that prices must go higher as the dampening of furnaces cuts off about 20,000 tons in the weekly ouiput. while stocks in war rant stores aro rapidly diralphing under the deixiaDds made from home trade and for export business. Shipments are runmug quite large. However, prices move very irregularly and business was dnc to-dav at 51s. 3d.S51i.6d. for bcotcb. and 48.4Ss. 61. for Cleve land. Prices for block tin have moved about in a ratner erratic a. dropping somewhat under the influence of realizing by holders of cash lots and reports of heavier shipments from the straits, which increases the visible supply and reacting upon evidence of less pressure to sell. lth -tocks down to the present level the "bulls" could doubtless lorce prices higher, but the scarcity is relieved some what by importations from the Dutch market, which, while not greatly affecting the position, have some bearing at the prr sent time. It is thought that 'he effect of fccarcity will be felt for some time to come. The market for co;per has been irregular, merchant bir prompts reacting sharply from a decline to 59 o, but settling back again to 59 in the face ot apparent confidence on the part of largest holder', in still higher prices than have yet been reached. Arrivals from America have been small, and the Chili charters the last half of last mouth were only 700 ton?. New supplies, it is believed will continue to run below the consumption and the future course of prices would appear to depend in a good degree upon the receipt's from the United States. The tin plate market is vrry firm and prices arc agaiu higher, up to 17s being quoted for ordinary cokes which are clileSj m demand. Makers express indifference with regard to the provisions of the new tariff bill as affecting business in the immediate future At the Gorseenon Works the plant is being doubled.

TXLKGRAV To TUB DlftrATCH.l Scottdaxe. October 9. Shippers, who are observing closely, report no visible improve ment in the car supply during the past week, and if anything a diminution is noticeable. There is a continued activity in the demand, with operators unable to meet It on account of the same old reasons inadequate car supply. Trade is going along in a sort of hop, step and jump fashion. The furnaces are still running short of daily requirements and are compelled to economize greatly on their receipts. Op erators are slicing up orders so as to futnlsh enough coke to each plant to keep them in running condition. In the Mahoning and Snenango valleys and other dis tricts covering the West, a number of furnace men are waging a gallant uphill fight to keep their plants in operation. Railroads still as sign the shipments of Western grain East and the heavy transportation of coal to the lakes, in consequence of the naar approach of the close ot navigation, as the mam causes for the car dearth in the Connellsville region. There has also been a decided increase in the volume of general business on the trunk lines making connection with this region. Their individual cars are about the most effectual means for operators' relief. Production is beinglimited at some plants ac cording to their daily car receipts, while at other plants the stock piles are of enormous proportions. The demand warrants six days per week for all the works in the region, and that run is the rule, although a few companies still cling to the five day operations, chiefly on account of no cars. The orders from the West are plentiful, and a booming demand has set in from the East and Pittsburg districts. The Southwest Coal and Coke Company Is spreading out. Their latest acquisition is the Ruth farm in ML Pleasant township, which they purchased a few days for $3 75 an acre. The purchase embraces 100 acres. The sale and the transfer of the Buckeye and Star plants to the McClnre Coke Comnany has been completed. A. C Cockran & Co. were the former owners. The McCIure Com pany now operates 2,051 ovens in this region. The fire still rages in the Charlotte 'mine here. The idle number of ovens is still about 1.850. Shipments last week averaged 1.071 ears per day as against 1.11S cars of the week previous. The decrease in shipments for the week was 385 cars. The following was the distribntion: To points west of Pittsburg. 3.925 cars; to Pitts burg and river points, 1,600 cars; to points east of Pittsburg. 900 cars. Total, 6,425 cars. The following was the record of the pre ceding week: To points west of Pimburg. 4,125 cars; to Pittsburg and river points, L5b0 cars: to points east of Pittsburg, 1,125 cars. Total. 6.810 cars.

Business on the wharf yesterday was a trifle slow, due to the absence of the Andes, which was not scheduled to arrive before to-day. Her freight was loaded on the wharfboat and awaits her arrival, and it is mostly cotton ties aud manufactured iron. The rivers fell somewhat, and will go below the boating stage in a day or two. The rise is running out very fast, as the marks showed a fall of nearly a loot in one hour. At 6 o'clock it was below the eight-foot mark. The harbor boat owners are complaining of thedangeious condition ot the Allegheny between the Union and Suspension bridges, made so by the gravel boats, which have been working there during low water season.

WEALTH AND W0KK ABOUNDING. Iiocal Stocks Somewhat Rattled by the Keport of a Panic in London. THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI The attention ot our English visitors is called to the fact that the amount of capital invested in the 4,000 industrial establish ments of Pittsburg is, in round numbers, $150,000,000. The numberof persons on the pay rolls of these concerns is about 125,000. Statistics show that the total tonnage of Pitts burg per annum, strictly local business, is 18,000,000 tons, equal to 1,000,000 cars, or an average of 3,000 cars per day. Pittsburg yields nearly one-filth of the iron and steel output of the United States. Bank clearings this year to date are over $600,000,000. The year s buildiug record for the city and sub urbs will show not less than 7,000 houses, -affording accommodations lor 35,000 people. The demand for houses, both business and dwelling, is very urgent, and fur bevond the supply. Tax i- j.aid on $200,000,000 ot property, the actual value of which is one-fifth more. The total revenue of the city is $3,6j7, 000. These few sample facts and figures carry their own comment and interpretation. N ... The Road to Success. Courage is necessary to success in business. Kickers and growlers such as those referred to yesterday, who oppose street car extension, will never set the world afire. Faintheart never won fair lady nor made a millionaire. A "business man, dying, left as his last injunction to his son, "Keep a stiff upper lip." The advice was better than money. Pittsburg is full of square-toed, level-headed business men. charged with conservatism and fight. They go for all in sight, but never over step the bounds of prudence. Such men are good leaders. They are as inspiring to the lag gards and the doubting Thomases as a bugle blast is to the weary soldier. They have made Pittsburgwbatsheis tne industrial center of America. But for them the city would not to-day be the Mecea of the iron kings of Europe. These men, of every nationality, devote their time, talents and money to the upbuilding of .flttsuurg. in ey nave taitn in an ot ner great interests, developed aud undeveloped, and show it by their work". Under their progres sive and enlightened direction of affairs Pitts burg will continue to grow in population and wealth until she shall accomplish her manifest destinv and take her place among the greatest cities of tne world. Business News and Gossip. One of the English visitors told a Fourth avenue broker in real estate yesterday that business sites had been sold in London within a year or two at the rate of 5,000, or $25,000, a foot front. Two old people who own a fine property on Fourth avenue were recently offered a good price for it, but declined on the ground that that they didn't know what they could do with the money, and didn't want to be bothered with it. As announced by advertisement, the first auction sale of lots in the Scbenley Park Land Company's plan will take place to-morrow. Home seekers should attend this sale by all means. Sixteen of S3 mortgages on file yesterday were for purchase money. The largest was for $3,200. Twenty-two were for less than $1,000. Westinghouse Electric led the downward movement in local stocks yesterday, closing at 29, after opening at 32. Philadelphia Gas held its ground.

Captain Barbour handled the stock market so admirably yesterday that he succeeded in knocking down '460 shares, consisting of Pleas ant Valley Railway. Pittsburg Traction, Phila delphia Gas, Luster, People's Pipeage. Colum bia Oil and Electric. It was a good day's work and covered a wider range of interests than for a long time. Values were steady at the two early calls, but at the last there was a sharp break along the main line, caused by a report of a panic in London, the foundation for which was this, dated London, 1250 p. K.t At this hour the stock market is a scene of wild excitement. Quotations are entirely nominal. Canadian Pacific has declined 1 percent from last even ing's closing price.

There were some forced sales of American railroad shares, which depressed prices and caused anxiety, but there was no general panic, and at the close the market was stronger. But, whatever the nature and scope of the disturbance abroad, the report, as stated, had a depressing effect upon focal values, which continued to the close, which in most cases was at the lowest point of the day.

BETTEB THAN NOTHING. Two Trades Save the Oil Market From Another "Whitewash. There wis enough business in oil yesterday to save another whitewash, but that was all. At 2:45, when trading should be at its best, only three brokers were on the floor. A few minutes later a few more crept down stairs, and ihe first sale 2,000 barrels at 81 was made. This was quickly followed by another sale of 3,000 bar rels at 81J4 the top of the day. This completed the day's work. Features of Yesterday's Oil Marker. Corrected daily by John M.

J An Irregular and Feverish Market Bear Tactics Indicate Heavy Overselling Puzzled in "Wall Street Ef fects of Rumors. New Yokk, October 9. The stock market to-day was still more active than on any day this week, and was irregular and feverish from opening to close with the result of leaving the list irregularly changed, the gains and losses being very evenly balanced with few important changes either way. The tactics of the bears to-day as well as yesterday indicate, if any thing, that the market is more heavily oversold than at anytime within the past year. Rumors of bear origin were afloat yesterday affecting tbe standing of well-known houses, and these were supported by predictions of impending panic. The action of to-day. if it iudicates anything, shows that the bears are nearly, if not quite, to the end of their rope, and, while lurmer aecnnes were iorceu in manystoclt. any cessation of the pressure was sure to result. in a rally which was invariably accomplished on smaller dealings than sufficed to create tbe decline. The street generally was puzzled over the ir regular action of the market, but the strength shown by Western Union and Missouri Pacihc, especially the former, under the fierce attacks made upon them was interpreted as indicating that Mr. Gould and bis friends have been buy ers. There was certainly more support giveu certain stocks than at any time since the pres ent depression was started, and the sharpness of tbe rallies inuicated that extra efforts were made to cover. The opening of the marketwas irregular but genei ally lower, and with the aid of a better feeling considerable strength was developed in the early trading, which resulted in the scoring of advances iu many stocks of from H to per cent. Then unfavorable rumors were circulated, accompanied by another flood of short sales, so that by noon all the improvement was wiped out. Later the selling became' more concentrated, and certain stocks were paid special attention to with tbe result that before 2 p. M., declines had been established in these shares extending to 4 per cent. Most prominent among thein were Jersey Central, Illinois Central, Chicago Gas. Burlincton. Lackawanna. Npw England and Reading. Many of the traders, however, for the past few days have been working for a rally, but heretofore with but little effect, but after this raid the support to several stocks be came more apparent, and the advocates of a higher range of values took fresh courage and a final effort in the last hour gave better results than for many weeks. Not only were the losses in the specially weak stocks regained in most cases, but actual gains over tbe opening figures were established in many others. The movement was still feverish, but the close of the market was made with the up ward movement in full swiug and on an active business, which heretofore has been the ac companiment of the declines only. The final changes are about equally divided between gains and losses, but the only ones of any lni- fortance are losses of yt in New England aud per cent in Wheeling and Lake Erie pre- xerreu. Railroad bonds were again active, but unlike the share list. Aftera downward movement of considerable dimensions in tbe early trading, there was no rally f sneak of. The sales of all issues reached $1,336,000, out or which the Atchison incomes contributed $230,000. Tbe Reading Issues were conspicuous for weakness, and tbe Texas Pacifies were likewise prominent for animation. The final changes were almost all in tbe direction of lower figures, and some of tbe more important losses were the follow ing: Butlicgton. Cedar Rapids and Northern firsts, 2 at 94; Hocking Valley 5s, 3 at 80; Iowa Central firsts, 2 at 83; Northern Pacific 5s. 2J-J at 85; Richmond and Danville 5s, 2Ji at 87S; Reading firsts. 3 at 62. and the seconds, 3 at 42. Government bonds have been dull and heavy. State bonds have been entirely neglected. Tbe jPo1 says: There is not and has not been any reason for the great decline of the last month, except that a number of speculators in this market, who loaded up with stocks last spring in expectation of a great rise as tbe result of the silver Inflation and tbe pension and other disbursements ot the Treasury, have been disappointed and sold out.

But there is nothing in the general business or railroad situation to' discourage them from doing so, and now that the liquida tion of the disanpointed speculators is probably about over, the stuck market will look more inviting to outside capital. Money is no longer an important factor in the immediate move ments of the stock market. The Mail and Express,io its financial article, says: Aleading banking house here telegraphed to London for the cause of the depression there, and the answer came back that there had been considerable selling of stocks on the 1 report that the commercial relations between Great Britain and the United States in tenure would lead to shipments ot gold from London to New York.

MAEKETS BY WIRE. Unsettled Feeling in the Chicago Grain Pit More Disposition to Sell Than Buy Wheat and Corn Lower Oats Steady Pork Quiet. CHICAGO Wheat Somewhat of an unset tled feeling pervaded tbe market to-day. Fluc tuations were not severe or wide, but there was an under current which caused uneasiness and a feverish market. Prices were a trifle higher than yesterday, and the changeable course of the market rather indicated that there was more disposition to sell than to buy, and operators were inclined to the belief that some parties were selling or closing ont long wbat. Tbe opening was strong and prices lc higher, eased some and then became weak) and declining llc recovered some, prices advancing Jc, but again became wpak and de clined c, reaching a point lK01Kc below the top prices paid early, fluctuated some ana closed abont c lower than yesterday. Corn There was only a moderate business transacted, tbe market being without special features. The market opened firm with light offerings and small trade, but under a fair in quiry sold up Jc. eased off KJc on more liberal offering-, ruled steadier and closed Jc lower than yesterday. Oats A moderate volume of trade was wit nessed in May. but in tbe nearer deliveries hardly enough was done to make quotations. Tbe market opened steady, but prices receded 5c and closed steady. Mess Pork A moderate business was re ported. Opening sales were made at 5c de cline, and a further reduction of 25c fol lowed. Later, prices rallied 25c, and closed quiet at medium figures.

His Family Sees That the Hairs Lay Kighfc Baldheadedness and Brains. I had a queer cbat last night with a Washington barber, writes Frank G. Car penter to The Dispatch. I was having my hair cut wfeen be told me some of hit experiences with public men. Said he: "I worked last year at the Normandie Hotel, where Blaine and bis family were stopping, and I had to frequently cut the silvery locks of tbe Secretary of State. Blaine had his hair cut about every two weeks. Ha dou't care very much as to its looks himself, but his family watch to see that every hair is laid even. I cut his hair in his own rooms, and as the scissors snipped away, Mrs. Blaine and James G. Blaine, Jr., stood by and gave directions. Blain: himself paid little attention to the job, and I had to go over it again and again. He did. not talk at all, and he is far different from soma other men I have dealt with. "Now, .there is old man Bancroft. I hive cut bis hair many a time. He likes his hair long, and he talks while it is being trimmed. I kept Vice President Hendricks in order when he was alive, shaved him every morn ing and cut his hair once a month. I have cut Joe McDonald's hair, but he is not very particular. I shaved Abe Lincoln when ha came here to be inaugurated. He was a very pleasant talking man, and I remember that he had a biz bottle of whisky and soma glasses on a tray when I went into hit room. "Yes," continued the barber, as he snipped away at my hair, biggest men of the country are losing their hair, and I believe the day will come when all brainy men will be bald. Speaker Beed hasn't even luzz on tbe top of his head. The skin is as bald as me baby's cheek, and it shines as though it was greased. I once cut the 20 odd locks' which runs around Edmunds bare drum bead. You have never seen anything as pretty as his skin. It is as tender and as clear as that of tbe finest (air complezioned girl you have seen, and It looks as though the blood would spurt through it if you touched it with a pin. Ha never lets any oil be put on his hair, but ha likes to have his scalp polished with cologue. Breckinridge of Kentucky, has one of the finest heads of hair I have ever seen, and he is a mighty nice man too. Ha gives me a quarter every time I barber him, and he talks all tbe time he is being trimmed." LUTCOLH'S HARD LINES. How He Got an Education in Spite of tha Greatest Disadvantages. In Lincoln's Kentucky borne there wera but three books in the family the Bible, a catechism, aud the spelling book which. Abe Lincoln studied. He bad not been long in Indiana beiore he had read the "Pilgrim's Progress," his father borrowing it from a friend who lived 20 miles away. He was very fond of reading ".JSsop's Fables," a copy of which came in his way. A young man taught him to write. As writing paper of any kind was very scarca and very expensive, Abe used to practice his writing exercises with bits of chalk or a burnt stick on slabs and trunks ol trees. Sometimes he would trace out his name with a sharp stick on tbe bare ground. When, finally, he was able to write letters, he was called to do tbe correspondence of many of his neighbors, for very Tew grown persons in that region could write even a simple letter. Advertising it is said will sell anything, this is true in a measure; but for staying qualities,- merit is the test. Extensive advertising may sell anything where it is new or unknown, but after it comes into general use, it is judged according to its worth. The continued and steady growth of Swift's Specific is the best evidence of its excellence. It is most popular where it is best known. Every bottle sold, sells ten others. Every one that takes it be comes its friend, and recommends it to their acquaintances. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free. Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.
