There is certainly no improvement in raw irons at has there been any de cline. Markets are favorable to the cash huvcr. "While raw irons aie weak, and manufacturers are still pursuing the hind to mouth policy. Demand for finished products is still active, and in some lines manufacturers are behind order The shortage of natural gas and prospective return of mills to coal and coke has necessi tated chances in the modus operandi of pro duction ana as a result muck bar prices are well maintained Blooms and billets gave signs of weakness the past vv eek, and unce& are a shade lower than quotations of last Saturdav Kail- and nails ttaDd at last week's prices but markets aie quiet. The season is now here when demand tur rails slackens and orders for the year to come will not be duo until about the end of February.

TELEGI1AM TO THE DISPATCH.! Chicago. November 7 Rogers, Brown A Mervin sav: The Chicago market continues activoand promises considerable further buy iDgin November, thoutrh consumers are not disposed to say so el it is a fact that in many cases stocks are ramdly decreasing or running low, owing to the unprecedented melt which has gone on during the past few months Business now goins is mostly for Northern and Southern coke with a fair demand for Ohio softeners and silvenes. In the main, prices on these are firm, the leading Southern companies having their order books veil filled, though a few oi the smaller ones have accepted some bUMne-s at cut figures, in order to move accumulation or certain giade-. Another disturbing feature has been the offer ing simultaneoi.s m uiileient markets of a few lots of warrant iron, producing the im pression that a largo quantity of nch metal is j seeklpg sale tne truth being that the amount I is small .out the homers are pressed for money. Lake super.or charcoals aro in fair demand at unchanged figuies both bucrs and sellers realizing that tin. Umporarj demoralization of a fortnight ago was eiitirel unwarranted, fur naces ot this c.as with but tew exceptions being well sold ahead, lieaw consumption continues, and much business is being turned awav by the jobbing foundues. 1 he outlook is Ileal thy and points to heavy business during the winter, "tt e quote for cash f. o. b.

The iron market is quite firm despite a skarp competi tion for new business and some slight disparity In quotations Production is too great to war rant any considerable advance and consump tion is too large to permit of a decline, and lrom the present aspect of the mar ket these conditions ire likely to continue Indefinitely.

Rogers, Brown & Co. say: Political excitement has interfered to a considerable extent with the proper trans action of business in all lines throughout the country during the past week The large Dem ocratic Congressional gains have raised an ap prehension that the tariff question will be opened again, causing besitanee if not dis trust, especiall 111 the iron interests, which aro fcuper-sensitive to tariff agitation. Shipments of iron upon previous orders have been heavy, but the volume of new ousiness bas been light at the close. However, in quiries are numerous and for liberal amounts. Northex.i metal has been relatively duller than bouthorn iron, and charcoal grades have been much slower than coke brands. KEITHEE UP NOE DOWN.

Sharp I'rosts Stimulate 1 egetables Game Coining to the front In the line of market basket filling about the only changes worthy of note are the retirement of roasting ears and cucumbers and higher priced tomatoes, owing to tbe advent of sharp frosts. Only hothouse cucumbers are now on the stalls, and these are rather expensive for the average consumer. In fruit lines, grapes still have the lead, but their end draweth nigh. Game is beginning to come in freelj, and de mand is active for venison and pheasants. Quail is too plenty for demand. The upward movement of choice creamery butter and fancy pound rolls still continues. Anything below ooc per pound in a retail way may be viewed with a suspicious eye. Markets are overstocked with mixed conntry butler, which is to be had for 20c to 25c per pound; but gilt edged stocked quickly brings 25c to 28c in a w holesale way. Home-made eggs are Tery scarce, and outside rates are readily obtained. At the fish and flower stalls no marked changes have trans pired in the week past. Supply of choice ocean products is scarcely up to demand. Prices are unchanged. In the line of staple meats prices remain as thej have been for many months. Live stock goes up and down, but butchers seldom change in prices. Following are latest retail prices of market-basket filnug: Staple Meats.

Seinl-Panicky Appearance la the Market Stampede Caused by the Hunk of Eng land Advancing MLaimum Rate of Discount. New York, November 7. The stock market to da, especially during the forenoon, and a portion ot the afternoon, was ireaker than at any time during the present decline in values was started, and it acted as if t'jo last final raid was in progress. The whole market had a semi panicky appearance, and long and short sellers vied with each other, it seemed, to bring prices down as quickly as possible to the lowest level. The final changes of the day, however, owing to a material rallv in tho latter portion of the afternoon, are uot so large as might be expected and a few of the stronger shares aro even higher, though only in one of them is tbe im provement of importance. The original cause of the stampede on tho part of the holders of long stocks is to be found in the action ot the governors of the Bank of England, who, at a special meeting held this morning, advanced their minimum rate of discount from 5 to 6 per cent after leaving it unchanged tit the regulation meeting yesterday. Ibis action was well cal culated to cause tbe most serious apprehension on tbe part of holders of securities, as it indi cated some sudden emergency, the importance of which was augmented by the unexpected action. Tbe selling by London operators was very heavy at the opening and domestic opera tors construed the action of the Bank as fore shadowing a greater scarcity of money hero and a probable further export of gold to Lon don, and they joined quickly in the selling movement, which soon assumed larger propor tions than have been seen lor mouths in this market. Tbe city banks at the same time aggravated tbe situation by refusing to lend on many stocks and in some cases not at all, and the operator had conservatism, resulting in the bidding up of money to 25 per cent., though afterward when the excitement had been allavcd to some degree, tbe rate went off to legal figures, thus demonstrating the fact that there was no real scarcity of funds. The. pens of the day was of a neutral charac ter, but only the increase of tho Bank of Eng land rate bad any influence upon values, and with the outpouring of stocks from London opening prices were all trom to J lower than last night, while North Amenc in and Atchison were down 1 each and Louisville and Nash ville 1 per cent. The selling went on uninter ruptedly and with constantly gathering force, the slight rallies amounting to interruptions of tbe downward movement only, while the bears added their efforts to increase the general de moralization. There was a sort of suppressed excitement, and, notwithstanding the enormous transactions, there was very litttlc noise, and, what was more remarkable in the face of the marked declines of tbe past tbree days, no fail ures to record. The downward movement con tinued until toward 1 P. si., and its violence may be measured by the losses sustained in that time, Pullman bearing the burner witli a drop of 12 per cent to 183, while Illinois Central followed with oi to 86. St. Paul 5 to 49Ji, C, C, C. 4 St. L. 4,'i to 60K, Rock Island 454 to C9, New Encland bji to 35J4 and others in proportion. In many stocks the lowest prices to dav were the lowest reached in years, and, while Reading lost only 2 per cent to 31, the decline was accompanied by a renewal 01 tho old story of a dissolution of the pool, and tho figure has certainly not been reached for a long whilo belore. Mis souri Pacific dropped qulckl). Some one bought large lines ot Union Pacific to-day when the market was weak and that stock held up remarkably w ell and did not follow the rpit of the list down, never getting more than per cent below its opening price, and it is one of the few stocks which show an advance for the day. Sugar was also stiong and showed evi dence of good buying, although it was let off with the general list in tho early part of the afternoon, only to recover all of the concession. One of the features of the dav was the strength exhibited by the Vauderbilts. The reaction was sharp and material, some stocks actually regaining all of tbe early losses, while the weak est stocks made large gams 111 the last hour's trading. The evidence of inside support was very marked. The close, however, was weak leaving most of the list at material losses for the day. The unlisted depart ment was not specially prominent in tbe market, although there was larger trad ing in Lead, and Sugar showed some of its ac customed activity 111 the afternoon. The list is almost invariably lower, the only marked ex ception being Lake Shore with a gam of 1 per cent, but C.C. C. t St. U is down 2; Rnck Island, 2X; St. Paul. 2K; New England, 2; Illi nois Central, Northern Pacific preferred, Louisville and Nashville and Lackawanna each, 1; Pacihc Mail, 1; Atchison and North American each, 1: Jersey Central, Erie, Read ing and Texas Pacific each, 1 per cent, and Pullman 5 per cent. Railroad bonds were quiot, the sales leaching only $118,000, but they were again in close sympathy with the share list, and declines are the order of the day. Everything traded in is lower, and the impor tant losses are greater in number 'ban for many a week. The dealings extended to a large number of issues, among which the Atchison issues and the Reading incomes were most conspicuous. Reading seconds lost 2K at 39, and the thirds 2 at 9. Other lossess in cluded Illinois Central 33, 3 at 39: Richmond and West Point Trust nvos. 2 at 69 and Union Pacific. Denver and Gulf firsts at 79. Govern ment bonds have been dull and heavy. State bonds have been entirely neglected. The Post says: The advance in the Bank of England rate of discount to 6 per cent in stead of o, this morning, after allowing the usual day (Thursday) for continuing its rate, was a severe blow to the stock market. The calling of this extra meeting of tbe governors of the Bank of England immediately after their regular weekly meeting yesterday sugsested an emergency which had developed since yester day, and is explained by the statement that the .. .JtfJJiteteilMfe ,.SaA v bank received Intimations of the probable with drawal or a large amount of gold, approxima ting 1,000,000 for Soutb America. Another cable reported that about 700.000 bad actually been withdrawn. It was to help restrain this outflow of gold that the bank advanced the rate. The explanation given in some quarters that the bank was apprehensive of an outflow of gold to tbeUnited States is totally erroneous, as the rates for exchange bere are not within two or three points of the gold-importing point.

There was, however, as for some time past, a rather good business in all kinds of cot ton goods while the market steadily im proves m condition.

A ltanquet to be Given in Honor of the New Steamer Congo. The packets made their usual trip3 yester day. The river yesterday registered 8 feet, and is slowly falling. The coal trade was not especially brisk on tbe river yesterday. Workmen have began to tear the lex Swift to pieces. The pilot house and cabin were removed yesterday, and the deck will go to-day. Tee new ana finely equipped steamer Congo, which enters in the river traffic between Pitts burg and Cincinnati, arrives this morning and makes ber first trip out this afternoon. An elegant banquet will be served on board tbe Congo at noon to-day in honor of her first trip. CIGAES AT PAETEES. No Supp ly I-arge Enongh Not to he Ex hausted by the Guests. Kansas City Times. I was talking to a man to-day who had recently given rather a swell reception. Many of the nicest people in Kansas City were there and those who were not in at tendance -would like to have been. "Have you any idea," asked the gentle man, "how many boxes of cigars it takes to supply a lashionable party these days?" "A couple ot boxe," I replied. "You don't go out much, do you, young man?" he said. "Two boxes! Why, that would be a starter. I think if you started with a carload, there would he none left. The number of cigars that the men in a fashionable party could consume has never beeu tested, because the cigars always give out. It's amaiing. Why, at a party at my house X had ten boxes of cigars CO in a box good clear Havauas, and no end of cigarettes. I ecxpected to have enough left over to last me for a month. But would you believe it, every single solitary cigar and every box of cigar ettes were gonebv 12 o'clock. There wasn't even a "anipe' left. I don't like to say that the men put them in their pockets, but great Jehosapbat, I can't figure out how they could have smoked them! Theie were 50 men there and allowing that every mother's son of them smoked like a Turk, there were ten cigars to a man. Why, you couldn't have seen the house lor the smoke, if thev had smoked that many. Now, could J ou?" I was forced to admit that he couldn't. "And now, let ine tell you something funuy," he added. "The only lellow I saw putting a cigr inhispocCet was the preacher. The next party they have at my bouse I am going to furnish pipes, bat you can just bet I'll chain 'em to something. I don't own any tobacco factory." DIPHTHEBIA'S TRIFLING CAUSE. A Passing Load or Slanure the Spark Tliat Starts an Epidemic. Dr. Airy, in n recent report to the Local Government Board, of Boston, on an out break of diphtheria in the Samlord rural sanitary district of Suffolk, England, his shown that in a particular villige in the district the outbreak was immediately pre ceded bv the passage through it of a cart load of London manure landed from a barge near by. Several children returning home from school complained of the stench from the cart and sickened soon after. These cases set others going, and the disease was then dis seminated by school attendance and the like. I'PAItA as a trade center for Pittsbnrtr is treated for THE DISPATGH to-inorrovv by J. O.

Grapes are still plenty and markets are weak. Other fruit is kept in the baekground owing to cheapness of the fruit of the vine. Home-raised quinces are nearing their end. and California quinces are quiet, the season being nearly over for this line of fruit. Poultry is coming in more and more abund antly as Thanksgiving approaches. Live poul try is slow and dressed is active. Game is also in good supply. Supply of quail is above de mand and prices tend downward. Fresh nearby eggs are scarce and readily bring outside quota tions. The country butter problem is one dif ficult ot solution.

A Sharp Break in tbe Chicago Grain Pit, Due to Short Stocks and Tight Money Pork Easy and Lard Lower. C H I CAG 0 Wheat Trading was large to-day, and a weak and panicky feeling existed. Tbe speculative offerings were again heavy. There was a perfect avalanche of wheat thrown on the market after the price for December dropped below the SI mark. There was no support to the market, buyers under the pres ent conditions not caring to invest. Influences were all more or less of a weakening effect. The opening was a shads easier than yester day's closing, ruled weak and declined lQIKc. then rallied on temporary buying on Eastern account and prices were advanced but again eased off c, and then suddenly dropped off lc more, reacted, advancing 1c and closed about l2ic lower than yesterday. The break in prices after wheat sold below 81 for December was very sudden, and stop loss limits could not be all protected, prices tumbling. Tbe weakness was attributed to de cline in stocks, tight money market in this country and in Europe, increasing supplies of wheat and increased carrying charges. Corn The market opened with a fairly ac tive trade and firm tone, first trades being at an advance, owing to light receipts, ruled strong for a time, advancing c The longs then took advantage of it to the close. The market closed with &jfl loss. The cash market was fairly active. A good demand pre vailed, while tbe offerings were rather light. Toward the close of the session tbe lowest prices of tbe day were recorded, the market sympathizing with the break in wheat, Oats were fairly active but unsettled, being firmer and higher early, and weaker and lower later. Tho first strenctli was due to tbat in corn, and prices for May advanced c Atter middav when the other markets declined rap idly there was an effort on the part of several large holders to sell. Priees receded lc from outside figures, but rallied M'alic and closed steady. Pork Trading was quite active and tbe market unsettled, sales early in the day were made at 10c advance, but rather free offerings caused considerable weakness and prices de clined 2025c About the middle of tin- session there was fair buying and prices rallied 7K10c. but near the close settled back again 57c, and the market closed easy. Lard More business was transacted and the feeling was weak and prices lower. Opening sales were made at 21JS5c decline, but this was quickly recovered. Laier the market w eakened and prices receded 5Q7Kc with rather flee trading at the decline. Anont tbe middle of the session the market was steadier and prices advanced 2c, but receded again and closed tame. Short Ribs Trading was rather active and the feeling was easier. Offerings were moder ately free with rather a good demand. Prices on tbe whole range receded 710c, and closed quiet at inside figures. The leading futures ranged as loliows. as cor rected by J ohn M.

PE0P0SED TO THE WRONG OIKL. It Was in the Dark and He Thought It "Has Her Twin Sister. Two twin sisters living at Bridgeport, Conn., says a AVestern exchange, are so identical in appearance that even members of their own tamily cannot tell Martha from Mary, excepting by a small mole under Mary's right ear. They are pretty and win ning, and have plenty of admirers. For several months past Marv's accepted lover has been a young blacksmith named Rogers, and last Sunday evening he made up his niiud to learu for a certainty whetner she would marry him. "When he arrived at the house Mary was out and Martha received him cordially, ex pecting to entertain him until her sister's return. Rogers supposed she was his adored one, and at once broached the sub ject nearest his heart. He found her a little more reserved than usual, he thought, aud her hesitation made him all the more persuasive. At length she accepted him just as Mary came into the parlor and turned up the light. Rogera then discov ered that he had proposed to the wrong girl. He made proluse apologies, and the sisters kept him 111 hot water lor an hour. Then Martha released him from the engagement and left him to finish out the evening with his "speckled beautv." It was too good a joke for Martha to keep, and she whispered it to one or two of Rogers lricnds the next day. LADILS always find good reading in THE DISPATCH on Sunday.
