Kew York, October 30. The Iron Age
in its issue of to-day quotes the American
metal market as follows:
American pig iron The situation is
practically the same as outlined last week.
To all accounts the deliveries of high grade
foundry iron continue to closely absorb the
current output of popular brands, Northern
and Southern, and prices for this class of
material are, therefore, practically firm. As
an instance of the charactor of the mnve
xnent statistics of a prominent Lehigh
Company are cited, showing for the week
ending October 25 deliveries 01"
no less than 4,277 tons against an out put of
3,500 tons. This is doubtless an exceptional
exhibit, but it may be remarked that the
offerings of other popular Northern brands
&re by no means heavy and that deliveries
of certain Southern makes that stand well
with consumers in this section are not free. Of
No. 2 foundry the supply is ample, however,
although apparently not burdensome, and
there is sufficient mill iron to go round.
Por the week under review no changes in
values are to lie recorded. We quote S17 5018
Tor No. 1 and $1616 50 for No. 2 fonndrv. good
Northern brand; S17617 50 for No. L S16316 50

Since the meeting show very conclusively that
there is no uniformity of action at the present

CHECKED BY THE FAMINE.
The Short Car Supply Continues to Block
the Coke Market Other DeCciencei In
Transportation Trade Characterized by
tho Usual Active Demand.
rrricuL txligrxm to thi dispatch.!
Scottdale, October 30. The inadequate
car supply, together with other deficiences In
transportation, continue to check the tendency
to a remarkable coke market Transportation
is apparently becoming more entangled. Last
week the volume of business did not satis
factorily compare with the previous week,
being disparaging to the coke producer. The
shipping facilities are equally Insufficient for
the coke traffic on the Baltimore and Ohio,
Pennsylvania Railroad, and Lake Shore line
in the face of their efforts for improvement.
The individual cars are of invaluable aid to
the coke companies which fully demonstrates
the wisdom in having them constructed. The
efforts of the railroad companies to supply
needr consumers have not been unavailing,
however. It is given ont that special trains
are now being run through to different points
in the West to soothe the wants of distressed
furnacemen. Other means are being tried to
aid in the transportation of coke. A fast Ft.
Wayne engine now makes a trip daily to the
coke region and takes out a train.
The market is barren of any special features.
The usual active demand still characterizes
the trade. The other conditions, that of too
much coke on the yards throughout the region
and the consumers confronted with exhausted
stockhouses, are still prevalent.
A coke superintendent, conversant with the
trade, spoke in the following tone to your cor
respondent to-day.
'The demand for production is stiff from all
directions, but under this Republican adminis
tration the business is of such enormous pro
portions that the railroad companies are totally
unable to handle it. The demand Is all that
could be desired, and I have no lean but that
it will be retained."
Notwithstanding the fact that some coke is
being stocked in the yards for the want of
ample transportation, the coke operators are
making six days right along. There Is a limited
numberof exceptions to the rule. This week the
Dexter, Kyle, Valley, Eagle, White and Sum
mit plants laid off one day for the restriction of
production. The main trouble over which a
strike is threatened may be settled. All the
furnaces are still in operation and the owners
doing a scasonaDie amount 01 kicKing over mo
high prices and failure of coke to reach them.
The idle list of ovens is over 1,700. There are
no signs or a resumption 01 operations at the
Charlotte plant here. Tho fire is still on. The
new Rainey plant of 100 ovens is completed.
Thirty-four ovens are out of Dlast at Lemont.
Leisenlng No. L of 500 ovens, is still
extinct. There is talk of extending the
Pcmickey Railroad. Fifty-one ovens are ont
of blast at Donnelly, and 110 ovens are still
building at Llppincott. The list of ovens in
the region is about 16,000. Orders are quite
numerous from the West, and an increase in
shipments is noted in that direction. Pittsburg
and Eastern shipments fell off. The shipments
last week averaged 1,015 cars per day, as com
pared with LOCI cars the week before. The
total decrease was 275 cars. The following was
the distribution: To points west of Pittsburg,
4,270 cars; to Pittsburg and river points, &3
cars; to points east of Pittsburg, 1,000 cars. To
tal, 0,090 cars. The following was the record of
the preceding week: To points west of Pitts
burg, 4,050 cars; to Pittsbnrg and river points,
LH5 cars: to points east of Pittsburg, 1,200 cars.
Total, 6,565 cars.
Prices are being firmly maintained. N o devi
ations are reported They are: Furnace coke,
$2 15: foundry. $2 45; crushed, 2 65; all f. o. b.

The Color Effects and How Men
Endure
the High Pressure.
Robert Rogers, who was a practical diver
ten years ago, and only recently retired
from the business, speaks as follows in the
New York Sun: '"On a good clear day, when
the water is clear on top, when there
is no ripple, it is possible to see ob
jects distinctly 15 feet away, at a depth
of 75 feet or even 100 ieet At that
depth when you look np yon can notice that
tbe water seems to be of a slightly lighter
color than it does if you look horizontally.
You can distinguish nothing. You can't
see the bottom of the boat from which vou
are working, but if you look right straight
in the direction of the ship you may notice
that the water is the same color as it appears
to be when you loot horizontally.
The color o: fishes cannot be distinguished.
They simply look like dark objects moving
about My ability to see under water didn't
increase with experience I could see as
well the first time as I could the last time
I went down. Constant practice, of course
enables a man to stand the pressure oT great
depths better. Usually a man begins
to feel uncomfortable when he gets
down 75 feet, and at 125 ieet the average
man would faint away. He would be over
come by the pressure. I hare been down
that deep and have come up all right, but I
tell you I didn't enjoy the trip. I know
one diver who went down 140 ieet That
was in the lakes. He was after a safe lull
of money belonging to the Wells-Fargo Ex
press Company. He got it"
A HUSBAND'S ECCEKTHICITY.
He Insists on Keeping the Embalmed Body
of His Wife In His House.
A romantic story, strange if true, is pub
lished, says Galignani, of a wealthy Rus
sian gentleman living in hit own house on
the banks of the Seine, who, for
the last ten years, has kept in
a box in a private room the embalmed
body of his young wife. She was murdered
a few days alter marriage, and her sorrow
ing husband obtained the Czar's permission
to take her body away with him. The law
of Prance forbids absolutely tbe -keeping of
a dead body in any place btt a cemetery.
The Russian gentleman hopes to obtain
special permission from high quarter to re
main tbe custodian of.the beloved relic II
not, he threatens to leave the country ratber
than part with it.

THE HEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI
Rainy weather and bad roads are the only
drawbacks to business in real estate. The
inquiry is good, but sales are delayed in
many cases by the refusal of buyers to plow
through the mud to examine property.
While this is disappointing to those dealing
for quick profits, the lull will be beneficial
in the long run, by affording opportunity to
improve property already sold. The de
mand is here, and will assert itself so soon as
the elemental pressure shall be removed.
One of the oldest real estate brokers in the
city, in reviewing the situation yesterday, re
marked: "The year so far has been exceed
ingly prosperous. Sales of all descriptions of
properties have been largely in excess of last
year. The nelghth has not been reached, for
the demand continues, and tbe scarcity of
houses becomes more pronounced every day.
There is a noticeable increase in tbe inquiry for
sites for industrial purposes. This means more
business, and more business means more people
and more buyers."

Silver Across the Water.
A recognized authority says the situation
abroad in regard to silver is by no means clear.
For the time being the supply, mainly of Bouth
American origin, available in the London mar
ket is somewhat greater than the demand. But
it must be remembered that the high rates for
money which have recently prevailed there
have affected India exchange and reduced the
demand for silver for shipment to eastern
countries. At tbe same time a more tangible
shape has been given to the often-repeated
threat of selling silver by some of tbe conti
nental nations. It is now alleged that the Aus
trian Government is about to throw 20,000.000
florins of silver on the market This report
has been denied, only to reappear again, and as
the matter is not yet finally settled it seems to
hare some effect on tbe temper of the market
Under the Hammer.
The building occupied for nearly 30 years by
the defunct Lawrence Bank was sold yesterday
at public auction by the Fidelity Title and
Trust Company, assignee. Tbe lot has a front
age of 97 feet on Penn avenue and 91 feet on
Butler street It started at $15,000 and grad
ually advanced to $19,700, at which figure it was
awarded to Mr. C. L. Reno. Although the
price realized is $300 under the appraised value,
good judges think it is about all the property is
worth. The location is good enough, but tbe
shape of the building is far from prepossessing,
while the interior arrangement Is decidedly
antiquated. JohnD Bailey was the auctioneer.

Southern California is still suffering from tbe
collapse of the real estate boom there two or

MONETAEY MOVEMENTS.
Slight Drop in Bank Clearings, Due to Weil
Known Causes.
Bad roads, wet weather and millltroubles
growing out of the natural gas scare, are mak
ing some impression upon general trade, but
less than expected. With tbe removal of these
obstacles, which is only a question of a little
time, everything will go on swimmingly again.
Bank clearings yesterday were the lowest of
the month, bnt still strongly entrenched above
the $2,000,000 mark, wbioh is a long remove
from the danger line. They footed up $2,269,
615 26, while the balances were $173,998 84.
Pittsburg people are so accustomed to prosper
ity that they give undeserved prominence to
temporary embarrassments.- There is nothing
in the business situation that cannot easily be
overcome.
Money was again easy yesterday, bnt tho sup
ply was not limitless. Calls from merchants
and manufacturers were readily met, but out
side paper was not sought for. Interest rates
were firm on the usual basis of 67 per cent.
Depositing was good. Notes of small denomi
nations were in moderate supply.
A counterfeit $20 silver certificate has been
put in circulation in Ohio. It Is of tbe "series
of 1880." The Treasury number is believed to
be tbe same on all namely. B 2774258X. The
check letter is "B." It is believed to be a pro
duction of the camera, the work being shallow
and the black off color. Tho large seal and
XXs on the face of the note, in colors, are made
by the ordinary process. It is a dangerous note
in experienced hands.
Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy at S6 per cent, closed offered at 3. Prime
mercantile paper, 68. Sterling exchange dull
but fairly steady at $4 80 for 60-day bills and
$4 85 for demand.

KEW YORK STOCKS.
Stock Market Generally Waiting the Out
come of the Sugar Trust Litigation
Before Resuming Activity Some
Specialties Prominent
New YORK, October SO. The stock market
to-day was again in the main a waiting one. the
principal object of interest being the argument
on the suit for the appointment of a receiver
lor the Sugar Trust, and while tbere was no
lack of activity in tbe Granger stocks the gen
eral market was dull and without feature. The
market was nothing In tbe main but an effort
to cover shorts, but there was little success at
tending the attempts. The London market
was materially lower this morning. Our open
ing was made at from H to per cent lower
than our last night's prices, while Louisville
aim Nashvillo was down . i
The bears ignored the lower London market,
however, and went in to cover with a vigor un
known of late, and during the continuance of
these operations, which consumed the entire
forenoon, prices In the active stocks, which
comprised the Grangers, Union Pacific, Louis
ville and Nashville, Atchison, Lackawanna,
Sugar Refineries and Chicago Gas, moved up
sharplyat times.
There was saia to nave been news from
private sources of a favorable nature regarding
the Western tailroad situation, and advances
or from H to JJi per cent were scored in the
railroad stocks, while Sugar was lifted to C9J,
against 6 last evening. The news from the
arguments before tbe court in the afternoon,
however, created a bad effect, and Sugar was
rattled off to 05. and thewhole railroad list
followed, the eaily gains being entirely wiped
out in moat cases. Chicago Gas" was the
one exception to tbe rule, and It
stands alone in closing with a material gain for
the day. Late in the day tbe news that tbe de
cision was reserved, but that a modification
permitted tho puoltc-itiou of tbe reorganization
Elan, created a favorable effect and that plau
elng regarded as favorable, there was a
material rally in the last hour in Sugar. The
railroad list failed to respond, however, and
the close was rather heavy at the close at
opening figures.
One ol the features of the day was the
manipulation in Illinois Central upon tbe issue
of the report of earnings for the past three
months, showing a loss In net It was ham
mered down to Via. and.cnnsidering the limited
business done in the stock, the offerings of
seller 60 days options were unusually numerous
at about 1 per cent below the market It closed
at 9S, a loss of 1 per cent for tbe day. The
strong spot in the specialties was Canada
Pacific which, however, had been opened off
2 per cent, and recovered only halt the loss.
The final changes are irregular, but generally
tor smaii j tactions oniy; uut Chicago uas was
urj 1 per cent
xexai
'exas Pacific seconds were again the f eatnre
of the trading in railroad bonds, and while
their fluctuations were confined to fractions
they furnished M11.000 out of a total day's dus
lness ol Sl.371,000. The general market was
rather heavy, but there ue tbe usual slight
changes this evening. Tbe important ones,
however, show a majority of losses. Houston
and Texas first certificates are down 2 at 112.
Government bonds have been dull and steady.
State bonds have been dull and steady.
The Post says: Exchange was c on the
pound loner this morning, which some people
think indicated the buying of stocks for Lon
don account A private cable from London
alo said: "Investors are the principal buyers
in to-day's market The speculators are
chagrined over tbe fact that a firm which was
in trouble and which is said to liavo backed the
stock syndicate, did not fall." Money Is still
tight in Boston, but it is a notable fact that ex
change un New York Is still at a premium
there. Money is also tight In vhicago, and ex
change on New York is still at a discount
Nevertheless, there is no doubt that money i
returning to New York from various quarters,
and the bank statement on Baturday is ex
pected to show that fact

coming in freely, and demand is good for all
that is offered. Supply of game is still light,
and markets are active at quotations. The un
favorable featue for trade ibis week has been
bad weather and bottomless roads. Country
trade has been blocked by mud.

No new features have been developed since
our last report. Sugars are quiet at the late
decline, and coffees are firm enough to move
upward. Tbe looked-for advance in foreign

MARKETS BY WIRE.
Wheat Rather Sluggish, With Interest Cen
tered In May Delivery Corn and
Oats Higher-Pork Bobs Up
and Sown as Usual.
CHICAGO Wheat Only a moderate busi
ness was transacted to-day. Outside orders
were fewer than usual and local operators did
not show much inclination to trade. Trading
seemed to be pretty evenly divided between
selling and buying, and no special chances oc
curred, though tbe feeling was rather firm and
prices sllghtlj better than yesterday's closing.
The opening was a littlo tame with a decline of
Kc but .May held steady. Then a firmer feel
ing developed' and prices advanced c, ana
again settled back to opening figures, from
.which an advance of &c followed, eased off
silently and closed auout 4.c higher than yes
terday for May delivery, while December was
unchanged.
Corn Trading was of fair volume and tho
feeling developed firmer, especially on tbe near
futures. First trades were at ia decline, but
under a good demand tbe strength in the near
f utnres being a feature advanced Yfi, reacted
ic, sold up another c or at SocforMay,
when tbere was some selling against privileges
and prices receded, ruled firmer and closed
with a gain for tbe day of 1C.
Oats were traded in fairly ana a steady feel
ing prevailed for May. but October was easier.
Price changes were small as the result of
local influences, aud closing sales for May were
y,8ie advance over yesterday's.
Mess Pork Trading was moderate. Sales
were made at 2c decline, but a temporary
rally of 2K5c were gained shortly after the
opening. Later, prices settled back 7310c,
and tbe market closed quiet at medium flgnres.
Lard A modetate trade was reported. Prices
declined 25c, and closed steady at medium
Sen res.
