METAL MAKKETS Oif THE OTHER SIDE
SPECIAL TXIXGTtAX TO THE DISrATCR.:
2Tett Yoke, October 23. The Iron Age
of this date quotes the American metal mar
kets as follows: Atncriean pig iron During
the week under review no sensational or dis
turbing events have transpired, and the
little furore occasioned by the break made a
short time ago by the local agents of a
prominent Southern company seems to have
died out. At present there is merely the
routine demand, yet prices are firm. Current
production of hish grade foundry pig seems
to be closely taken up in meeting deliveries
on contracts in hand. The lower grades of
foundry pis are also in very fair position,
although not as favorablysituated as the better
qualities, and mill graaes may be said to be
fairlv holding their own. We quote $17 50
18 TO for No. 1 and SIC 001G 50 for No. 2
fonndrvtgood Northern brands. $17 U017 50 for

Spiegeleben-s aud ferro niaganese In this
lino there has been no change, the demand is
moderate, sellers offer no new inducements and
consumers are slow abont entering into nego
tiations tor contracts for future supplies, in
view of the uettied condition of the market
for various steel products. Twenty per cent
piegel is quoted at 30 5031 00 for German,
and $31 WgSl 50 Tor English, and SO per cent
ferro at $70 for future delivery.
Steel ruin Apart from unimportant sales for
early delivery, no business is reported, and by
all accounts attractive orders are still few and
far betn een. Local agents have manifested no
inclination to expedite the buMness pending
the results of the manufacturers' meeting, and
pnce for forward deliveries are momentarily
a matter of uncertainty. The basis of $30 at
Eastern mills for standard sections as generally
qu tea hi i espouse to inquiries for rails for de
livery durlig the next two months.
bteel bilieti The mills are well employed on
eld oiders. .Little new business is cominc up,
noever, and market value is therefore difficult
to jrrn c at w itli any acruracv. Western mill

t"W is the "nominal" rate at Eastern mills.
Steel wire rodN There has been no change in
the market for American rods, and the high
cost of impel tations still checks operations in

ANOTHER COKE DISORDER.
The Scarcity of Mothe Power Added to Lack
of Transportation The Demand is Still
Active Over 1,000 Idle Ovens.
icrsci Kt. Td.rojiM to tks DiKr ATcn.i "
Scottdale, October 23. The same features
as set forth last week, with a few additions, are
noticeable in the coke market. The disorder
continues in transportation and now has a con
soling companion in the scarcity of motive
power. The scant car supply, coupled
with Insufficient motive power has
served to further demoralize shipping
facilities. The scarcity of motive power is
rather alarming, and the railroad peonle will
Immediately devise means to remedy it. The
absence of encines last week materially assist
ed 11 the retarding or shipments. A railroad
official, who understands his business, spoke in
tho following strain to The Dispatch repre
sentative: "There is a deficiency in motive
tiowcr. which, of course, serves as a preventive
to our means of ti asportation. The deficiency
is only slight, though, and we believe that
everything as far as that is interested will be
speedily restored to normal condition'. The
car dearth is as bad as ever and we entertain
bnt slight hopes for Immediate improvement.
At this juncture of the year the volume of gen
eral business is extensivo all over the land and
whenever a railroad company gets hold of a car
it generally holds to It as long as possible. Un
til there is a subsidence in businessan improve
ment cannot be looked for, although nearly all
the railroad companies are equipping them
selves with moro cars."
Operators are utilizing all precautions -to
guard against coke accumulation. The num
ber of days operated is arranged according to
the number of cars received. The demand is
still active with production about equivalent,
furnace consumers by greatly economizing on
their rcceiptB succeed in Keeping their plants
in operation. No shut-downs among the
furnaces are reported on account of lack of
fuek Many-of them escaped a suspension by
the opportune arrival of coke. The works of
McClure, Rainey. Taylor, Southwest, Schoona
makerand Frick, continue to run six days a
week, while a few independent companies ob
serve tho Wednesday or Thursday shut-downs.
The iale list of ovens in the region is esti
mated at LojO. The Hecla Company have
their 500 ovens at Trancerson tbeSewickley
branch, about completed. The Mahoning
plant of 100 ovens is still idle. Fifty ovens are
still out at the Paull plant or W.J. Rainey.
About all the iule ovens at the Davidson plant
110 have been lighted. It is said that the
state Line ttauroad will open np a new coal
neld. The Hill Farm plant is still extinct.
The fire is still furious. It embraces 150
ovens: 1W ovens are outatthelCentral works.
Shipments last week averaged 1,W1 cars per
day, against L077 cars of lheprevions week.
The total decrease in shipments was 95 cars.
They were distributed to points of consump
tion as follows: To points west of Pittsburg.
4,050 cars; to Pittsburg and river points, 1,115
cars; to points east fl Pittsburg, 1.200 cars;
total, 6.365 cars. A comparison can well be
drawn by giving the record of the preceding
week, which was as follows : To points west of
Pittsbunr, 3,905 cars; to Pittsburg and river
points, 760 cars; to points east of Pittsburg,
1,775 cars; total, 6,460 cars. There are no rumors
ox an aorance in prices, ine xoiiowing quota
tions rule : Furnace coke, $2 15; foundry, $2 15;
crushed, $215; all f. o. b. cars at ovens per ton
of 2.000 pqnnds.

TITLES ALL EIGHT.
The Bank of Commerce Has. a Sure
Grip on the Kelly Property.
FACTS AND THE LAW IN THE CASE.
Light Trading: in Stocks and Oil, With
Kothlng Strange in Figures.
THE KEWS AND GOSSIPOF THE CITI
The talk of contesting the right of the
Bank of Commerce to the Kelly property in
Sterritt township, the bulk of it being in
"Wilkinsbarg, seems to have no substantial
ground to res: upon. The circumstance out
of which it grew is this: John McDevitt
bought from the Bank ot Commerce a lot in
the Kelly homestead plan, which he after
ward sold, but, alter the lapse ot some time,
the buyer refnsed to complete the purchase
on the ground that the bank having held
the property more than five years, in viola
tion of law, as alleged, conld not make a
legal deed to the lot. McDevitt now sues
the purchaser to compel compliance with bis
contract. This suit is pending.
Owing to the importance of this matter to
almost every person in Wilklnsbnrg, The Dis
patch representative yesterday sought infor
mation at tho bank, and was told by the
cashier that, although under the lawtbeyare
not allowed to bold real estate longer than five
years, jet that does not prevent them from
making a pcrrect title at any time, any ques
tion as to the infraction of the law in such
cases being between the bank and the Con
troller only.
The Cashier added: "This question has been
occasionally brought np by young attorneys
examining titles,but has always,until nnw.been
decided as a point ot no value. The bank, in
correspondence with the Controller, has his ap
proval of this view. The object of the law is to
prevent the accumulation of bad assets, and so
protect the public: and although national banks
are required to dispose of real estate promptly,
the Controller can exercise a proper discretion
so mai sucn property need not oe unnecessarily
sacrificed. There need be no alarm on the part
of those who have purchased from the bank.
It appears to he a difference of opinion between
attorneys."
This seems to effectually settle a story which.
If left uncontradicted, might prove an obstruc
tion to one of the most prosperous communi
ties In the country.

Persons who have bonght lots from the Bank
of Commerce can rest contentedly. Their titles
are all right. The bank will stand by them.
Colonel W. A. Herron said yesterday: "We

cupants will be fairly dealt with."

HONEY AND TRADE.
The "Week, so Far, One of the Best of the
Year.
In spite of the bad weather, this week
promises to be one of the best of the year In a
business point of view. Wednesday's bank
clearings were over 53,000.000; yesterday's
almost reached the same high level, being $2,
961,774 88. The balances were $135,792 39. Mo th
ine further need be said to prove that trade of
all kinds is phenomenally active.
There was no scarcity of loanable funds for
business purposes, but occasionally outsiders
were refused accommodations. This was to
protect the regular clientage, who have the
first claim in the dispensation of favors. Tbey
stick to the banks and the banks stick to them.
Rates ruled steady on the 67 per cent basis.
Mr-Henry Clews, In diagnosing the financial
situation, says: "The currency movement with
the Interior for the week shows a net loss to
the banks ot about $2,250,000, which vindicates
the beginning of the cessation of shipments of
money to the West that usually sets In after
the middle of October, and is a welcome
symptom. Taking the situation as a whole, I
incline to the hope that the worst phase of
liquidation has been passed, and that we may
now expect sufficient recovery in prices to
warrant moderate bnying of the better class of
stocks."
.Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy. The last loan and close was at 8 per cent.

Sales of stock on call were 14 shares of

In feeline rather than in figures the market
showed some recuperative power, and the opin

next movement would be -upward. But,' of
course, buyers will have something to say
about this. From the trend of things, however,
it seems that values will not be allowed to go
much lower.

Heavy Drop inSugar RefincriesCaused by
Distrust in the Financial, Condition
6f the Trust Market Oth.r-
wlse Featureless.
New York, October 23. Th3 stock market
on the whole was 'active to-day, bnt the heavy
deals were all in Sugar Refineries, which gave
tone to the entire market, and decided weak
ness was the rule of the day. Theie have of
late arisen distrust of the monetary situation,
and strenuous efforts have been made to
create a feelinc of uneasiness over the mone
tary outlook in Europe, although the best
judges say that there is no real cause for dis
quiet. With the first sales this morning a flood of
stocks, usually favorites with London, were
poured upon the market, effecting a material
depression in values. The most important ele
ment in creatine this depression, however, was
the weakness in Sugar Refineries, which again
assumes its old position of the chief disturber
of values. There have' been of late all sorts of
rumors in circulation -in regard to
the trust, and the pos-ibillty of a receiver,
with the result of bringing a flood of long stock
upon the market. Id any stop orders were un
covered and for 72K last evening it was rattled
off to 69J, where some support was met. This
was exhausted in a rally to 70$, and in the aft
ernoon a further drop to 67 was made, after
which a rallv to 6S7 exhausted the recupera
tive power of the stock. and It went down to
66K in the last hour, a net loss of B per cent. It
rallied feebly in the final dealings, but closed at
close to the lowest point of the day. Chicago
Gas sympathized to them mors of a new suit,
sending it 1 ff 2 per cent, and while the rail
road list met with some severe pressure, prices
kept within fractions ot the opening figures in
most nf the list, though Union Pacific and
Louisville and Nashville were weaker than the
rest, especially in the afternoon.
Money appeared scarce in the forenoon, and
rates on call were run up to 7 per cent, but
loans were made as low as 3 per cent, and funds
were offered at that at the close. The market
closed active and weak at or about the lowest
prices or the day. The final losses are gener
ally small fractions but Surar is off 6; Chi

Railroad bonds were quiet and without
feature of Importance, altnoueh Atchison In
comes furnished 5126,000 ont of a total day's
business of 331,000. The few marked changes
were generally in the direction of higher prices.
Government bonds have been dull and firm.
State bonds have been dull and featureless.
The Post savs; 'I he creat feature of the day,
and the one which did the most to express the
whole stock markei, was the heavy selling of
Sugar Trust. The cause of the heavy decline
was merely the Increasing distrust of the finan
cial condition. It is now well known that a
prominent member of the Board of Trustees
has said that "for a long period antedating the
present time the trust has made no money,"
aud that consequeutly the inference Is that at
least some of the recent dividends paid were
not earned. In the last half hour money was
down to 5 per cent on liberal offerings by a lead
lug trut company.

' Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Hainy weather had a quieting effect on prod
uce trade. Prices remain practically the same
as at last reports. Putatoes are coming more
freely, but good stock is very firm at outside
quotations. Sweet potatoes are quiet. Grapes
are still In supply above demand and markets
are favorable to the buyer. The drift of dairy
product-. Is still upward. The same Is true of
strictly fresh eggs. Chestnuts are in good de
mand and prices are a shade higher. Tho ap
proach of Halloween brings strong demands on
nuts, and markets are strong all along the line.
Apples are in fair supply. Missouri aud Kansas
are maiq sources of supply of late.

MARKETS BY WIRE.
A Break in the Grain Pit, Due to Statistics
of Supply, Easier Cables and Free
Selling Pork Active at In
side Figures.
CHICAGO Wheat Only a moderate busi
ness was transacted to-day in the aggregate,
though at times trading was quite lively. Sud
den spurts occurred all through the session.
Trading was chiefly local. The market was
weaker, feeling tame and prices ruled lower.
Easier cables, a decline in silver in this conn
try and an article in the Price Current estimat
ing the world's wheat crop as equal, to the
averaeo were hela directly responsible for to
day's decline in price. This news induced
large felling, and as prices weakened more
wheat was brought out from parties who
feared a further break. More or less long
wheat came out dnring the entire session. The
opening was HQis lower than yesterday.'s
closing, and with only slight fluctuations prices
declined lSHlic fluctuated slightlyand closed
about 1 ic lower than yesterday.
Corn was tairly active, a good business being
transacted un local and outside account. Feet
ing developed was easier and lower prices were
established. The weather and larger receipts
induced longs to sell and offerings were liberal:
the country also sold freely. First trades were
at Jc decline, and under free ollerines grad
ually sold oif. with some reaction, c, rallied
c declined lie. ruled steady and closed with
lIcloss.
Uais There was a marked falling off in the
trade in this market and a weaker feeling pre
vailed. Longs have realized for several days,
and were at It again to-day to a moderate ex
tent. There was' no especial support to the
futures; and prices ranged lower, a decline of
llc being recorded and fairly established.
Mess pork A fairly active trade was re
parted. Prices ruled irregular within ranges
of 27J30c Opening sales were made at 56
decline, but tbi was quickly recovered. Later,
prices receded 2730c, and the market closed
quiet at inside figures.
Lard Rather more doing. Prices declined
710c and the market closed rather easy at
inside figures.
Short lib sides Only a fair tu'iness was
transacted. Prices ruled slightly higher early,
but receded again 1012c and closed rather
quiet at inside figures.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

ECZEMA
My little four year old girl had an
aggravated case of eczema. The hesfc
physicians treated her, without any
good results. A single bottle of S. S. S.
cured her sound and well. This was
four years ago, and she has had no re
turn of the disease since; and her skin'
is perfectly smooth and clean.
