The Eastern market is quiet, on the basis of fC8 lor rods. Very little business is reported in billets. B Steel Rails What few orders come into the market are on requisitions from division su perintendents, and rarel exceed 2,000 tons at a time, even on the large lines, lluyers ehiiv, no interest in the market, being ap yiarentlj convinced that they have nothing to lo-e by waiting, since they will probably be able to purchase their track material at current prices later on. Reports from rail road managers indicate that as soon as they liae become coimncrd that a large tonnago must bo hauled for the new crops thev will be in a position to buvinoie liberally for repairs. How light the production has been thus far this year is indicated b the Hoard of Control. The mills in tho association, which include all, with the exception of the Colorado Works, a small concern rclatn civ. shipped in the aggregate np to June 1, 337,265 gross tons of standard rails The orders booked up to June 1 figure up 725 376 tons. During Ma the shipments vere 110,0.10, at which rate it would take more than three months to work off pres-ont orders. The indications, however, ale that the mills will run fuller in the near fiitu.-e. Last year tho de li enes of the mills up to Juno 1 wero 598,000 tons, exclusive of the Allegheny Bessemer and tin- Colorado, while the sales footed up tol.flsSflOOtoiis. This j ear is, therefore, far behind the lecord of l&K), so that unless there isaverv decided change in the market in the next few months, tho total shipments of steel rails of standard sections from works in the association are not likely to exceed J,40fl 0C0 tons If we reach this figure the nulls w ill be forced to produce m the second half at a rate more than double that of the first six months. From present indications the shipments of standard rails will not be much more than 450,000 gro-s tons by July 1. These indications hii e considerable bearing on the pig iron consumption during the second half of the year. Lven at a moderate estimate of 1,400, O00 tons of rails, tho consumption of Besse mer pig for that industry must rise to about 1,000,000 tons in the second half us compared nith barely MO.OOO tons in tho first half year. From the West come reports of some what more rapid buying in Bessemer pig during the past few days. Reports in the trade have it that at the last meeting be tween the coke interest and the Valley fur nacemen a leading coke producer oflcred to take 800 tons of Bessemer pig at $16, and that this offer has bon accepted in a number of cases.

There are now 06 Scotch furnaces blow ing, and stocks in Connal's stores amount to 514,000 tons. Tho stock of Cleveland warrant Iron has increased to 112,000 tons, but the demand for warrants is better and prices have stiffened to 40s 6d 41s during the week. Hematite warrants have also been given more attention and brought somewhat better prices. There is no improvement in the finished iron trade, To-day's sales of warrants were at 47s for 5cotch,41s for Cleveland and 50s for Hematite Pig tin prices declined 20 shillings during the week. o ing to realizations-by some specu lators and absence of support to tho market by the principal holders.

All offerings were well absorbed, however, and prices have since recovered, with good buying at the advance.

The Early Promise or Better Wheat Prices Soon Disappointed Corn Strong for a Time, but Weakens Oats and Provisions Follow Corn Closely. CHICAGO Thero was a promise of higher prices in all classes of property traded in on the opening tltis morning, but the promise w ns broken before the session closed, and prices broko, with everything closing at about the bottom figures of tho day. Wheat showed steadiness and a little strength at the opening. It was said to bo still raining in many parts of Kansas, and where tho rains had ceased tho Ileitis wero too wet to admit of Inn est operations. Cables wero steady, and for a time there was a fair de mand and the market held steadv. July started at 9,Ve and sold up to Kc, and held botween that figure and 95c for a considerable length of time. Later, how e er, it was announced thatthere was apros pect of clearing weather in tho Southwest, and in thoXorthwcstas well, and tho feel ing began to weaken, corn making a sharp break about the same time wheat prices be gan to decline. As the weakness increased the selling be came more urgent. Early purchases wero tin own overboard, and the snorts began to put out considerable lines. The downwnrd Iirogress was assisted by a cablegram from "aris noting a decline in values thero equiv alent to 5c for July. NoiensonTtas given for the se ere decline, but it was intimated that posiblv the reduced duty on wheat 's to go into effect immediately. Rumors in regard to an English houso being in financial trouble wero also used to depress prices. July under this prcssni e sold off to 93)c and closed easy at that figure. Comina'doa strongstart and sold higher for a time, influenced partly by the rains, which were retarding cultivation and per-mltting-the fields to become very weedy. The sentiment of the crowd seemed decid edly bullish for a time, and a good many buying orders wero on tho market, and local shorts covered n good deal. July started at 57KS)-7Kcnndsoldto57Kc For a time the ma'i kct held around STJfc.then broke to 57Vc; improved some, but on heavy estimated re ceipts for to-morrow began to slump. Long corn came out freely. Short selling wns ac tive, and tho bullish sentiment all disap Iicared. July broke to 56e, reacted a trine, irokc to 55'c. Clearing w eather, a falling off in a cash demand, and heavy selling by St. Louis parties assisted the decline. Shorts seemed to havo pretty well covered, and with urgent offerings and few buyers there was a steady drop to 56c, which was tho closing price. Oats followed the course of tho corn mar ket very closely. The opcningsales for July were 3.si.1sic, then became slumpy and soldofftoJGJc, rallied some, broke to 36c and closed at that price. Provisions w ere fairly strong at tho open ing, influenced by tho strength in corn and some advance in live hogs nt the yards. Later there was a break, duo to tho w cak ness in the other pits, and especially in corn. September pork sold from $10 75 to $10 SO, held for a timo around $10 75, then broke to $10 65, steadied, broke to and closed at $10 55, a loss compared with yesterday of 12c.

One of the Greatest Booms of the Season Afflicting the Hoosiers. TUB DRIFT OF LOCAL SPECULATION There is a brisk demand for and a good movement . in property for subdivision. C. II. Lovo sold to A. L. Watkins for A. P. Gangwisch a piece of ground at Ingram sta tion, containing ten acres for $7,500, or $750 an acre. Tho purchaser, it is understood, will lay it out in lots and erect a number of dwellings for sale Heady for the Carpenters. Plans and specifications for tho new Ger mania Savings Bank building havo been com pleted, and work on it will begin as soon as the strike is over. Mr. Jleyran wps asked for details yesterday, but said he was not quite ready to give them out. Ho added: "Wo would havo had the work under way before this but for the strike. Although plans have been prepared they are subject to some change, as new ideas are suggested. You may say, however, that the new building will be different in many respects from tho old one. It will be larger and finer. Our intention is to erect one of the finest bank buildings in Pittsburg." Bought a Residence. Thomas Hackett, of Stewart, Hackett & Co., has purchased through Straub & Morris an elegant residence on Belvldere avenue, Crafton, for which he paid $6,250 cash. Mr. Hackett will move to his new home In a short time. Big Heal Estate Profits. "Whatever may be the final outcome of the proposed 'big three' stock yards down in Indiana," said a Chicago broker, their pur chase there has given a most fabulous infla tion to values. In the fall of 1S89 K. W. Hy man, Sr., purchased 1,100 acres of the Hart estate, bordering on Lake Michigan and tho Calumet river. Ho paid $29 an acre. As Illustrating how novel a thing a sale of property In this part of the J country was, it is saia tnat, inougn nm xim i. estate owned over 30,000 acres of land in this region, this was the first sale it had made for 25 years. Xine months after his purchase Hyman sold the tract for which he had paid about $32,000 to the "big three' for about $250, 000. This sale gave him a profit for the time ho held the land of almost 100 per cent a month on his investment. The next pur chase was at the rate of $275 an acre, so rapidly had values appreciated. Other people made haste to reap the benefit of the boom. Oscar Daube bought a tract of L0 acres for $60 an acre, and almost imme diately afterward sold ten acres of it for $359 an acre. Another firm is said to have gone into this region last year with about $1,000 and made $30,000 during the season. These are only specimens. A large number or men made big money in this legion, the amount varying with the magnitude of their operations. I have seen many phenomenal things in real estate, but I don't think I ever saw anything quite as phenomenal as this Indiana stockyards region." Some Wilklnsburg Deals.

Despite the Dullness Prices' Well Main tained, Showing Inherent Strength-Second Avenue Hallway Scores the Only Important Advance Other Features. Tho local stock market yesterday was the tamest of the month, not a single transac tion taking place when the third call opened. There were five reporters and three brokers present. The usual number of the latter strolled in afterward, but as their orders and the market did not cor respond, they did nothing but fan them selves. In the language of Capt. Barbour, there was a vacancy on tho board. Xew York was steady and dull, the princi pal bull factor being a report of trio settle ment between tho Chicago Gas Company and tho city. Tho settlement Is said to be favorable to tho company. No reduction will be made in the price to consumers until 1893. By 1898 tho company contracts-to re duce the price of gas to $1. The city is to get 3 per cent of the gross receipts, $150,000 per year at the very least. Tho city is to with draw all litigation. London was weaker. The Bank of England rate of discount was reduced to 3 percent. The Paris markets were down. Portuguese stocks were allectett by rumor of a revolution. , Locally the market had no special features beyond dullness, and changes were with one exception confined to fractions. Gas went off a trifle Philadelphia Gas moved up a fraction at second call, but lost the improve ment. Wheeling was wanted at a conces sion. Of the Tractions Second avenue was the only one that scored a material advance. It was bid up $2 a share at second call, but the offer was not repeated at the third, and the boom was left suspended in mid-air. The rest of this group was about steady. There was a bid ot 15 for Duquesne. "of 20 for Birmingham, and of 28 for Manchester. Electric fell off a little at second call, but reacted at the close. Switch and Signal braced up a good fraction but no one let go. Gossip was almost as scarce as business, evon street railway consolidation falling to attract and interest the gossips; but on o broker could not forbear remarking: "Only Insiders know whether the Manchester and Pleasant Valley will combine. I have pretty good sources of Information, but confess I am In the dark. There Is probably something in the wind, but I think it will turn out to bo a treaty of neutrality in regard to each other's territory, and not consolidation. About a year ago an attempt was made to unite these roads, but tho proposition was rejected by the Pleasant Valley on the ground that it had nothing to gain by the change. On the other hand, Commodore Kountz's declaration that 'the Manchester will consolidate with nothing on wheels' ought to go for something." Humors have been freely circulated that a group of French gamblers, undeterred by the disastrous collapse of tho Soclete des Metaux a couple of years ago, have once more entered Into a combination to force up the price of copper, and to keep it at about X60 a ton. May exports of copper from Chile are said to have been about 800 tons, against average shipments of 2,000 tons from January 1. May 31 Chile exports were 7,350 tons, ngalnst 10,650 tons In like months of tho previous year. To this fact is due in part the decrease in tho stock of copper abroad.

A FAMINE IK DIMES. The Owners of Domestic Financial Institu tlons Urged to Unload. Money, in a general way Is abundant In this market, but a few of the banks claim to have had such a good run for loans as to havo only a moderate surplus above tho legal Tescrve. This was the condition of two Wood street banks visited yesterday. Their clientage is among large merchants and manufacturers. Tho cashier of one of these institutions said: "I think our position is exceptional, as from information I believe most of tho banks havo more money than they can find immediate uso for. Tills seems to bo the rule all over the country, and should con vince everybody that there is no danger of a stilngency w hen the crops begin to move. Money was never more abundant or better distributed than now. Business should boom tho coming fall." The interest rate was 6 per cent for the bulk of the business, with 5 and 7 in ex ceptional cases, regular customers being favored with the former and outsiders being taxed tho latter. Currency was abundant everywhere and exchange at a small pre mium as a rule. A bank officer remarked: "Dimes are scarco and getting scarcer every day. We see so few of them that they are almost a novelty. What is the reason? Well, they are being hoarded away in the thousands of dimo savings banks in the city and country. Almost every family has one, and some of them ono for each child. I wish you would urge the owners of these domestic financial institutions to unload. We aro starving for dimes. Xickcls ai e abundant." A prominent New York banker, who has given the subject very close attention, is quoted as saying that thero is more actual money in circulation at present than there was last year at this time, even though $60, 000,000 of gold have been exported. The lact is that there Is a great deal moie money in the country than most people havo any idea of. Bank exchanges through tho Clearing Houso were $2,153,207 59; balances were $469, 119 96. At New York yesterday money on call was easy, ranging from 2 to 2 per cent; last loan 2c, closed offered at 2c. Prime mercan tile paper, 67c. Sterling exchange quiet but steady at if 4 85 for 60-day bills and $4 88 for demand. Closing Bond Quotations. TJ. S. 4s, rcg U. S. 4s, coup..:. TJ. S. 4(ss, reg.... U.

TWO INFLUENCES HELP THE SHARE MARKET AT FIRST. The Chicago Gas Settlement and the Re duction In the Bank of England Dis count Rate Interest Lost In the Mar ket When These Influences Cease, New York, Juno 18. Thero were two in fluences which exerted a favorable effect upon the stockmarket. The announcement of a final settlement between the Chicago Gas Trust and the city, and the reduction of the minimum rato of discpunt by the Bank of England, as anticipated. The first of these showed a positive result in the very material advance in the price of the stock interested, but the latter failed to have any marked effect anywhere In the list. The fractional gains which marked the opening may bo fairly attributed to it, but tho higher prices were met by freer offerings and the gains wero quickly neutralized, and with the completion of this movement nil interest and animation in the market ceased. The prevailing sentiment on the street la now bullish, but the dullness makes the room element favor the short side, and the scalping of eighths and quarters makes up the bulk of the business now transacted and keeps the market within the narrowest lim its. The interestinthe Western stocks seems to be dying out, though St. Paul was again very actlvo to-day, which, however, ny.DJ explained by the anxiety of the clique which now controls its movements to keep itprom inent in the trading. Confidence in tho future Is unimpaired, but the disposition to await developments of a more positive character than those or the last week prevents any new ventures, and, while holders are not Inclined to sur render their stocks to the manipulation or the room element, no efforts are put forth to advance the prices of their specialties. Railroad bonds were still very dull, but showed a firm tone in close sympathy with the share list, and most Issues are slightly better tn-night, , The following table show the prices of active, stocks on the New York Stock Exchange yester day.

My little son had a number of bad ulcers and running sores to come on bis bead and body, which lasted for four years. I tried all the doctors and many remedies, but the sores still grew -worse, until I did not expect him to recover. My friends were confident that if the soreshealed it would kill him. I at length quit all other treatment and put him on Swift's Specific, and less than three bottles cured him a sound and healthy child. S. S. S., also cured a sore on another of my children. E. J.
