Xew York, October 16. The Iron Age
of this date quotes the American metal
market as follows: American pig iron
The rather monotonous condition of affiirs
that has prevailed in this market for some
considerable time past has been broken by
the sale of a block oi 1,000 tons of Tennessee

for.October, November and December de
livery, at 16.25 at tidewater. The lot was
taken by a prominent local customer. That
this transaction, at so low a price,
caused a little excitement among the
local trade hardly need be stated,
as it has all alone been claimed that the partic
ular brands specified, as well as several others
popular with Eastern conmmers, are in light
supply. However, the facts are a exactly as
outlined aliove. The iron sold was not No. 1

No. 1 fot.i dry. aud the ml extraordinary
feature connected with the transaction is the
ery low price. It is the general report that
the nnt-clas Southern No. 1 foundry can be
had at less than S13 at furnace, or 17 25 at tide
water, for deliver during the balance of the
year, and as in uch as ?1S has been obtained for
ono brand where sold on terms easy for the
buyer. Northern brands of hih grade foundry

steel rails Transactions in this market hive
been few and confined to unimportant lots.
Thee are a number of inquiries, but they are
chiefly of undesirable character, or for rails
for delivery next year, that agents do not ap
pear inclined to tike nold of at the present
time. The basis of S3!) at Eastern mills, this
year's delivery, is opcnlv quoted ana doubtless
full value. The associated manufacturers have
decided not to furnish for publication their
monthly statement of sales and deliveries. A
meeting of manufacturers will be held in this
city on the 22d instant, at which the general
situation will lie discussed and probably some
action taken in the direction of maintains uni
Jorm prices during the coming jear.

course.

Scrap iron In wrought scrip there has
been little doing. A small quantity ucnt at

New York, October 16. The Iron Age
quotes the British iron and metal markets as
follows from Loudon: Operations in pig iron
warrants have been on a large scale, and prices
have fluctuated considerably, dropping under
the effect of realization to 50s for Scotch, 17s
for Cleveland and 57s 4l for hematite. There
has beep considerable selling by holders, who
purchased enlte freelj a short time ago, in an
ticipation of stakes, and there is also some in
dication of reopening of bear accounts. The
large decrease in stocks and dampening of
furnaces is greatli disturbing the finished iron
and steel trade. .Steel ship plates are now

Lack of Shipping Facilities Still a Stnm
Mlng Klock to A Prosperous Coke Mar
ket Consumers Suffering.
-rrrriAL teleoeam to tux distatch.:
Scottdalk. October. 18. The stumbling
block to a prosperous and almost unprece
dented coke market is still the lack of shipping
facilities. Trade is becoming more and more
peiplexed by the scant car supply. The efforts
of the railroad companies to furnish a liberal
supply have been unavailing, and it is readily
conceded that the famine, instead of abating,
is growing gradually worse. Shippers and con
sumers are suffering in consequence. With
tho former there is too mucn coke and with the
latter not enough.
There is still danger of the interruption of
the operation of a numbe' of furnacis by
reason ot their small receipts of fuel. An
operator defined tho coke trade as follows to
The Dispatch correspondent:
Orders for production are abundant, and,
while tne productive capacity of the region is
fully equal to the demand, it cannot bo met be
cause ot that old barrier, poor car supply. One
ot the causes of the car famine is that when
coke is shipped West the cars are utilized in
the shipping of grain East.
In thtt way it invariably takes two and three
weeks for the cars to come back to us again.
Under the old pooling agreement between tho
various railroad companies whose lines tap the
coke region, eacn company supplied a stipu
lated amount of cars dail) for the coke traffic.
That has gone asunder now and the company
with the largest number nf cars gets the most
traffic. A few weeks ago the Pitisburg and
Lake bborc Company enjoyed a tremendous
boom, as when the cars were scarce on the Bal
timore and Oiuo and Peniisjlvania Rail
road liDes. tliev had plent and about
met all the demands. Hie New York
Central strike played havoc with them tbou.'h.
and the Lake Shore supaly is row shorter than
that ot the other two roads. We anticipate an
improvement in transportation of course,
sooner or later, and only hope our expectations
will be realized. 1 believe the brisk demand
will keep up."
James Dillinger. tho jovial Pennsvllle coke
operator said to-day that he was looking for an
improvement in car supplv after Pattison was
elei ted. Production is still being restricted at
man plants according to the car supplr.wbich
serves as a preventi e to a mountain of coke
on the stock yards. At several plants dis
appointments in cars necessitates the stocking
of coke. Orders are numerous from all dis
tricts. Works are still operating five and six
davs per week. There is a complaint of lack of
motive power by some operators.
Auo. her railroad, connecting with the coke
regions, would probabl relieve the urgent ne
cessities of the coke 'companies. The fire is
still burning in the Charlotte mino here. The
Mahoning plant of Isaac Taylor is still idle, on
account of water in the pit. The Leisenring
No. 1 plant is still idle. It consists of 500 ovens.
K. A. Humphrey has opened a mine and will
erect worts at Red Bank. Fajette county.
There are only about 1,700 idle ovens in the
region. The total numl'er of ovens is 15.510.
bhipments last week averaged about 1,077
cars per day, against 1.071 cars for the week be
fore. The total increase in shipments over the
previous week was only 35 cars. They were
consigned to points ot consumption as fol
lows: To points west of Pittsburg, 3,905 cars; to
Pittsburg and river points, 1,775 cars; to points
east of Pittsburg. 780 cars. Total, 6,460 cars.
The following is the record of the preceding
week: To points west of Pittsburg. 3,905 cars;
to Pittsburg and river points, l,b00 cars: to
points east of Pmsbursr, 900 car-. Total, 6.4J5

Raid on the Business of tbe Connlrj in
the Interest of Wall Street.
TEE NEWS ASD GOSSIP OP THE CITY
According to information obtained yes
terday from reliable authority, the much-talked-of
route of the Homestead Kailroad
has been definitely determined. It will
start from Boquet street and strike Green
field avenue, near the residence of William
B'irker, thence along Greenfield avenue and
private property to Hazelwood avenue,
thence through the north corner of Calvary
Cemetery and S. S. Brown's property to the
projected bridge aud thence to Homestead.
The point of connection with the Duquesne
Tracttou has not been settled upon, but will
be in a few davs. The distance from the Court
House to Homestead by this route is about
four and a half miles.
The bridgo will be 1,800 feet long, and will
cost over 200,000. The cost of tho road will be
about .500,000. making thetotal outlay between
500,COOand 600,000.
Asked when work on the road would begin,
the informant, who is a large stockholder, re
ulied: "It is bard to say. Some of the details
must be arranged first. It may begin next
week. lam confident ground will be broken
this fall, but if the winter should be a bad one.
it is probtblo that little will be done before
next spring. Once fairly started, however, it
will be rnshed through as fast as possible.
There aro manv interesting features connected
with the road which I am not at liberty to give
yon at present, but j on can sav that it will be
a go. It is backed by men of abundant means,
who will not stop short of complete success."
Wall Street Tactics.
Xew York seems to be tbe center of a con
spiracy to abstract and cripple the legitimate
business of the country, with a view to bene
fitting the stock market. Some may wonder
how speculation can flourish whenbusmo-s is
on its back. The explanation is easy. In flush
times, such as the country is now blessed with,
there are so many good opportunities tor safe
and profitable investment that stocks are
neglected. Holders realize and employ their
money in other directions mere arcmoro
sellers than buyers. When times are dull
these opportunities for investment disappear,
and capitalists must cither speculate or let
thmr money lie Idle. This is the rule.
The JJew York conspirators the bears of
Wall street ind their numerous agents at all
of tho principal Lusiness centers, seeing that
the country is prosperons and that large
amounts of capital are being invested in vari
ous useful enterprises, are endeavoring to
counteract this tendency by sendingout repons
of an impending panic and general collapse of
business. The frequency ot these lugubrious
predictions has no doubt attracted the atten
tion of readers of Wall street letters, special
and otherwise, and they havo doubtless
wondered what it meant. So far the conspiracy
has failed to produce the desired effect. Busi
ness is active all along tbe line, and steadily in
creasing in volume and strength.
No bolder attempt to discredit the business
standing of tbe country has been made since
Wall street speculated on the necessities of the
conntrv durinc tbe war. So far as can be dis
cerned" there is no ground for it Production is.
quickly absorbed, showing that stocks are not
accnmulatinrr Railroads are unable to handle
all the freight offered. Pronerty is being im
proved and homes established at a rate hitherto
unknown. Monevisiu good supply at moderate
interest chaiges. Wildcatting is limited to a
few localities in the Far West. All of the sub
stantial activities are on a firm footing.
But facts go for nothing with the Wall street
crowd. They ignore them at the beginning of
their crusade, and seem resolved to continue
lie agitation on that line. But tbe public hav
ing been deceived bv the same tactics before, is
not likely to accept the statement tnat every
thing is going to tho demmtion bow-wows
against conclusive evidence to the contrary.

Business Xevri and Gossip.
The condition of Mr. John Harper, President
of the Bank of l'ittsburc. showed further im
provement yesterday. Unless the nnexpected
hanpen, his recovery is only a qnestlon of time.
People who aro interested in tbe Homestead
Railway will no doubt be glad to learn that tbe
route has been selected, and that work will
probably begin this fall.
Eleven of 32 mortgages on file yesterday were

Arrangements are being made for tho erec

A member of the Ann ot Black &. li.iird said

HOME SECURITIES.
Luster Actit e afirl Stronger Other Gains and
Losses Without Significance.
Luster was again the center of attraction at
tbe local stock calls yesterday, over 300 shares
changing hands. The first transaction was at
19 and the last at 19- The close was 19 bid,
with none offered under 19. While some of
the business is no doubt attributable to the cov
ering of shorts, the bnlk of it seems to be due
to favorable news from the mine, giving reason
able assurance of success.
The other active stocks were Philadelphia
Gas, Pitt8Durg. Virginia and Charleston Rail
road and Pleasant Valley, all of which were
about steady. Electric and Switch and Signal
were weaker. Pittsburg Traction was the
strongest of its class, closing at 31i against Z&
at the opening. Freehold Bank was offered at
a concession, probablv on an imperative order
to sell.

London cables received in Wall street yester
day w ere of a more bopeful character, and to
the effect that tho lnrtnightly settlement had
been effected without tbe trouble anticipated

chance In tbe rate of discount.

A CLOSE CALL.
One Sale Sates the Oil Market From a
Goose Egg.
The oil crowd narrowly escaped a whitewash
yesterday. Just before the close 2.000 barrels
changed hands atSl. This was tbe only trade.
That the commodity was tlim was shown bv
refusing 82. There is co lslderable long oil In
Pittsburg, but itis held for better prices. Re
fined was unchanged. Wednesday's clearings
were 5S.O00 barrels.
A broker said "Really. I don't know what
to think of the situation. Oil is strong, but
there is no market for it at anything like fair
prices. I suppose we shall hive to sell out to
the Standard, allow certificates to be retired
and try to do Something with Lima. This
seems to bo tbe only course we can take, unless
the independent movement pans out,"

KEW YORK STOCKS.
General Market Rnles Dull Excliange
Itoom Manipulation Causes an Artifi
cial Depression In St. PauL Wlilch
is Felt by Other Stocks.
New York. October 16. The stock market
to-day was again dull, with all the business
confined to a tew stocks in which the bears
were still active, the remainder being without
feature and fluctuating within extremely nar
row limits, with considerable irregularity in the
movement or prices. The injunction granted,
restraining the reorganization of tbe Sugar
Trust was one of the most influential factors
on the bear side, but the failure of the
directors of the Bank ot England o
advance their minimum rate vof dis
count was the occasion ot the renewal
of confidence in many quarters. The bears
sought to make an impression upon values by
severe drives against a few stocks, among
which the coal stocks, with the exception of
Reading and St, Paul, were most prominent.
Delaware and Hndson was conspicuous for tbe
easy manner in which it yielded. Tbe foreign
ers were sellers at the opening, which was
made generally at small concessions from lt
night's figures, and further losses ware sus
tained In the early trading in Sugar Refineries
and Larkawanua. The general list, however,
was well held and tho foreigners: turning buy
ers,, fractional advances were scored before
noon in almost everything traded in.
The pressure upon the Coalers and St. Paul
by the bears later satrged off everything, and
the level of tho opening prices was generally
reached. The buying in the last hour, how
ever, was most urgent, and these losses were
generally made up. tho market closing dull but
firm at slight fractions better than first figures.
The final changes are in but few cases for more
than small fractions, and are fairly evenly di
vided between gains and losses, and, while
Sugar Is off 1 and Liokawanna 1 per cent,
Pacific Mail is i higher and Chicago Gas 1
per cent. Kansas and Texas securities show
an increased trading and attract more atten
tion since the Trust companies delivered the
new certificates, the preferred stocks being
traded in in the regular list for tbe first time
to-day.
Railroad bonds were dnll throughout: sales,
791,000. Government bonds have been dull
but firm. Stato Donds bave been neglected.
The J'oH sas: The loner prices for slocks
in the afternoon were almost entirely the effect
of some heavy manipulation and trading by
professional board room speculators in St.
Paul, which they contrived by one method or
another to depress nearly 1 per tent between
12 o'ejock and 1 o'clock. There was nothing in
the condition or prospects or the St, Paul
property or in tho general railroao or monetary
situation, or in the holding of St. Paul stock to
cause a decline, it was purely manipulation
and exchange room tactics that made the
1 iwer prices for that stock. It was induced by
t e extreme dullness of the markit, and had
s mo slight effect to make fractionally lower
p icen lor the other stocks.

The Damp Weather Not Enjoyed by the
Denizens of Water Street Looking Out
for the Little Tug Stella McCluskey
Little Grains of Sand.
Strango to say, rivcrraen do not enjoy damp
ness unless itis a part of the river that flows at
their feet. When the water comes down from
the heavens in sections ton small to float a boat
and yet too thick to dodge, the denizens of
Water street usually hunt a dry place in the
packet landings, where tbey sit, the old ones
telling stories of the good old river dajs when
railroads were not so plentiful and the younger
men listening with envy to these tales. Such a
day was yesterday. A dull, heavy rain per
meated the atmosphere with an indescribable
dampness that would be more enjojedif it
were not. The river continued to fall, and at 3
o'clock the Market street gauge told of only an
extrt depth of 10 feet i inches.
The little tug Stella McCluskey still lies at
the bottom of the river, tbougn some time was
spent yesterday in trying to find her resting
place. All tho fishing possible yesterday failed
to locate the little Stella, but work will be
pushed until she again floats on tbe surface.
Her owner has no hopis of recovering her for
several days, or atleast until there is less water
in the river to contend witb.
Grains of Sand.
The Germanla had a big load when she started
for Morantown at 3 o'clock yesterday.
