The Iron Age reports tho condition 01 the iron and steel markets as follow s: Pig lion Reports are again numerous of special transactions and cuts on Southern pig iron, which indicates a -weakening ten dency among some of the sellers in that sec tion of the country So far a w e can learn, this has not as 3 et sei lously disturbed this matter. Northern brands are quoted at Slfi 7Tf 1 00 for Xo. 1; $16 OC16 50 for Xo. 2, and $14 OuigH SO for pray forge.

In the East the market has been very quiet, both in bilk ts and in wire rods. Steel rails Another week of absolute stagnation must be recorded so far as the Lastei?i mills are concerned, and at leos.t one large W estern -works reports that orders are as light as they hai e been for some time past. Tho official report of the Board of Control show s the shipments of standard sections of rails up to .Tulv 1 tohaie been 4t,4:3 tons, which proves that our estimate, made some time since, of 450,000 tons Mas Acrv close to the truh Orders booked up to. luly 1 aggregate Ks!)10 tons This shows that during the whole month of June the Mies by all the mills aggiegatedonlv73 000 tons.

There is considerable inquiry, however, for old steel rails for open hearth melting stock, but little business is done since sellers views aio usually too high. PEICES NABE0WING HOWS. Tho Foreign Pig Iron Markets Show No Signs of linproiemeot SrECIAI, TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Xew Yoek, July 23 The loreign metal markets are thus reported by tho Iron Age: In London the movement in pig iron war rants has been very narrow and prices have undergone but little variation in the ab sence of new featuies that would incite operat.ons for long or short account. Hold ers oi the bulkofwai rants out assume an air of confidence m lew of the absence of any considerable increase in stocks in public stores. The total now includes 5OS.0O0 tons Scotch and 14-.000 tons Cleveland. Latest sales of wan-ants were at 4747 Id for Scotch: 40s fid fo Clevelana and 51s for hematite. Pig tin prices ha e been irregu lar, ultmntelj dropping over XI, despite light shipments to this point from the East during tho first half of the month. The de mind for consumption at present is moder ate Copper prices receded about 2 during the ., under the influence of fieo offering of f orw ardors in quite large blocks and real ization by small holders The recent selling, i' Is believed, las cieated a considerable short interest that maj be an important fac tor later on The visible supply has in cieased somewhit Chile charters, first half of the month, w ere 500 tons.

CHICAGO The wheat market was rather spasmodic, being act: e and dull by terms. Price changes were frequent, but during most of the dty kept within a range of about lJ4c,w ith the average low er than j esterday's close. The news was not -v ery influential either way. The receipts were about 100 cars in excess of the estimite, but cables were higher Tr-ero wasa good deal of wheat for sale, how c er, at the start, with only a mod erate demand, and first sales were lower at t$yt&c for December The weakness, howeer, started a good deal of covering bv shoits, partly to realize profits on sales made esterdaj-, and this buying, with the excitement that ruled in cats and tho advance m eorn.omckl v turned the market upward. A pm ate cable about' the same time leported bad weather in Prance, and Pans was higher. There was nil upward rush, December touching OOijc. Urere was a season of labored realizing oy enrly buyers. Corn and oits began to break.

Oats w ent through a course of lively gym nastics. Shoits wero frantic, and July started -with 41 cents bid, with the first sale at 42K cents, and almost immediately sold at 45 cents. Then the long oats began to come out, and the market quickly broke, falling in less than five minutes, going off to 33 cents, reacting to 40 cents, then off to 37 cents, and in the afternoon touching 36 csnts,a fall of 9 cents from the highest point. The shorts had managed to cover, and the longs were pressing sales There was a re action to 37 cents before the close.

Campbell DeclaredThatthe View From Highland Park Had SO COUNTERPART W AMERICA. Features of One of the Newest ancVEanil Eoniest Divisions of the City. FEST! HOMES OF WELE-KKOWN PEOPLE From Wood. street to Highland Park lsr about seven miles. Car Xo. 26 of the Du quesne line made this distance yesterday In S3 minutes. This is schedule time, -whloh is stnetly adhered to. At the car-house, a magnificent structure at the corner of Ellfl worth and Craig avenues, the timekeeper rushed out and complained to the motonnan that he -was half a. minute fast. It was merely a difference between -watches and each believed his own. Tho conductor said the cars on that line were running regularly and smoothlj , all the friction encountered at the beginning having been overcome. He added that much better time could be made, but the company wouldn't allow it, safety being the first consideration. A trip to the Park via Forbes, Craig, Ells worth and Xorth Highland avenues would open the eye3 of some of the fogies whose knowledge of the city Is limited to a few squares down town. Such a display of wealth as represented by splendid resi dences and large handsome grounds cannot be duplicated In America, and there is a flavor of newness and freshness over It all that gives an indescribable charm to the landscape. There are no ruins in this part of the city, nere are the homes of many of the well to-do people of Pittsburg. On Forbes avenue, beyond Soho, are the resi dences of Charles J. Clark, Hon. C. L. Magee, the Wearings, Vankirksand others of equal prominence. On Craig avenuo are those of Mr. Farrell, Mrs. Lloyd, Samuel Wil son, Mrs. Lewis and many others. Ellsworth ai enue contains the houses of Dr. T. A. Rev, Mr. Havs, the Gnthries, Bidwells, Laugblins, Allerton, Schoonmaker, McClintock, Ren shaw, RoDert Pitcairn, Max Moorhead, w . J. Friday, M. J. Becker, Esq , and others well known in business, political and social cncles. Among other distinguished peopio who have their habitat on Xoith Highland acnuo are J. C. Buffum, Mrs. OLeary, Bramard, Wainwnght. Charles Lockhart, Senator Flinn, J. D Callery, F. M. Magee, Esq , S Hamilton, Thomas S. Bigelow and G. W. Elkms. Handsome as are these avenues, many at tractions are being added which will make them still more beautiful. Almost a score of fine stone houses is in various stages of completion, and the vacant spaces are being cleared preparatory to buildiug. Theamount of unimproved grounds is small, consider ing that ten years ago the entire district beyond Soho was little more than a "howling wilderness." Good thoroughfaies, rapid transit and the natural beauties of the lo cality have wrought the change. The view irom Highland Park so enrap tured Governor Campbell, of Ohio, when he was there on Wednesday that he told a well known citizen that he had never beheld its equal. Just across tho Allegheny is Aspin wall, a new settlement that is building up very fast. It has its own water woiks, and will soon have an electric road. A shoi t dis tance above the pumping.house on this side is a number of oil tanks and a refinery owned by the Standard Oil Company. This ground, "comprising 23 acres and a good house, was offered to the present custodian of the park 17 years ago for $2,000. Ten years ago it could have been purchased for $5,000. It is now valued at $40,C0O. A short distance above the refinery, on a series of undulating Holds, Is a row 01 -2U 01 u nanusome resi dences, owned by George Stewart. These aie nearly all vacant, for the leason that the only road to them is up a steep hill, making it almost impossible to deliver coal and other family supplies. The owner pro poses to build 50 moie houses and construct a road that will give easy access to the prop erty. There was a depth of 17 feet in the High land water basin at U o'clock yesterdav. There is a feature of this reservoir that is not known to everybody. It is bisected by a heavy stone wall. Water from the Alle gheny is pumped into one part, allowed to settle, and then drawn off through a 56-inch pipe into the other, whence It is lilted to He.rron Hill, and thence distributed through out the city. All tho water U9ed In Pitts burg comes from the Highland basin, which is supplied bv four engines, which keep the big pipes full all the time. Theso engines are very powerful, but make less noise than an oidinary sewing machine. Hitslncss Xews and Gossip. More fine buildings are going up In the Highland Park district than ever before. Seven miles in S3 minutes on the Duqnesne road is fast enough for ordinaiy peopio. At the last call yesterday 93 flat wns hid for Birmingham Traction bonds. The Burrell Impiovement Company have their hands full making out transfers for lots sold at Kensington. They disposed of 12 on Wednesday. Currency is still plentiful, but it -will -soon be absorbed by pay rolls. The new plant of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company at Irwin went into operation yes terday. Tho statement that the airbrake works at Wilmeidmg w ere running almost full had a good effect in business circles. Pittsburg aud Western first mortgage bonds sold in Xew York at 78. At the yearly meeting of stockholders of the Central Elev ator Company, yesterday, tho old board of directois was retained in ofhee. London was about steady yesterday. Xew Y01 k was weak and stagnant. Money is going West from Xew York, not to grow up with the country, but to move the crops. Only seven "to lets" wero seen during a ride of seven miles on a Duqesne Traction car yesterday one to the mile. The smallest pumping station in tho countv is at Aspinwall. It is Just large enough to hold the engine. The lSuilding Becord. Permits lor the erection of the folio-wing buildings w ere issued j esterday: G. H.

TBADIKG IMPKOTES A LITTLE, WITH MOKE BACKBOXBTOPKICES. Bayers Gunning for Cheap Stuff Likely to Be Disappointed Stocks Generally in Strong Hands Tractions Not Appre ciatedLuster Again the Center of In terest. There was some business at two of the stock calls, yesterday, and pnees were a trifle stiffer. Last prices were generally the best. About all the -interest there was clustered around Luster Mining. Assistant Manager Smith is in the city, and is understood to , have brought favorable news. On the strength of this, or something else, there was a brisk demand for the stock, and it finished three-eighths better than the open ing. When Electrio was struck by the financial cyclone, all the Westinghouse group weak ened in svmpathy. Xow that Electric is out of the woods the affiliated interests show an advancing tendency. Switch and Signal and Airbrake continue to gain ground. The latter added half a point to its credit yester day. InsDiteof the bears Philadelphia Gas re acted a good fraction, finishing ?g better than the Initial bid. With a good supply of gas on hand and more in reserve the deficit racKet is ratner nara to wotk. The Tractions were dull and weak. Buyers seem to think they can compel holders to come to tneir terms, out. ine resuii, so ii is iHsmnninHnf. From the wav the Stook IS being held out of the market it is judged to be in strong hands. The unlisted Tractions commanded some attention, but figures were too far apart to make business possible. These properties aie growing in value daily, and holders whoso tenacity 13 equal to their faith stand a good chance of making a ten-strike. Fears that the market would be ripped wido open by rushing things for salo have not been realized, nor or they likely to be. The belief is almost universal that prices are scraping bottom, and that the next movo will be engineered by the bulls. Sales were: First call 10 Luster at 12; 5 Philadelphia Gas at 107. Second call No sales. Third call 30 Luster at 13, 20 at 135; 30 Pleasant Valley at 23; $1,000 Birmingham bond at 83 fiat.

WALL STREET ASLEEP. INTENSE DULLNESS VAKTED BY A FEW DEPRESSIONS. Burlington and Louisville Stocks Suffer Most No Other Movements ofConsequencc Bears and Hulls in Statu Quo Railroad Bonds Very Dull. New York, July 23 The stock market to day was even more stagnant than those of tho few preceding days, and remained from opening to close almost entirely devoid of feature, while nojmportant change mial ues occuiTcd in stock. The two parties in the market maintained the same attitudes, and until either one or the other recen es ad ditions from outside sources, or something of a positive nature is developed to have a mateiial influence upon values, the dullness is likely to continue. St. Paul, Burlington, Louisville and Nash ville and Rock Island were the only stocks showing any animation, Louisville ana Richmond being most pi ominent in the de cline. After a partial rally the most intense dullness overspread the market. Some lit tle buying of Western Union was regarded as significant, but did not assume large pio portions and failed to move the stock more than 14 per cent. The pressure was increased on Louisville in the afternoon, aud its loss was biought up to about I per cent, and atthelasthoui there as a severe drive at Burlington, under the old story of an increase in its securities, and its net loss was made larger than Louisville. The market closed dull and heavy to weak at the lowest prices of the day. Tho final changes are generally for small fractional losses, but Burlington is down 1, Louisville ljnnd Wheeling and Lake Erie pieferredl per cent. Railroad bonds were even less interesting than usual of late, and on a volume of busi ness reaching only $452 000 the changes wore In almost all cases insignificant, while, as usual of late, no decided tendency in prices was seen. Tho few important movements among the inactive Issues, "however,- show a malonty of losses. The follo-n ing table 6hows the prices of active stocks on the New York Stock Excnange yesterday.

SAM "WOOD'S SLAYER BOUND 0VEB. Men Armed With "Winchesters Guard the Court and Prevent Trouble. Arkalos, Ivan., July 23. The prelim inary trial of James llrennan for the killing of Colonel Samuel "Wood was held yester day at Hugoton before three justices of the peace. Dr. C. L. Ebemother, the County Coroner; Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Carpenter were the only witnesses called by the State. The defense introduced no testimony. The' presiding justices bound Brcnnan over to the grand jurv, and committed him to the Keno county jail without bail. His trial will be held at the September term of court. A large delegation of Colonel Wood's friends, headed by J. E. Thomas, and armed to the teeth, were in town. When the case was about to be called three meni armed with Winchesters were stationed at the door of the schoolhonse where the trial was held, and as the crowd passed in each man was examined and disarmed. Three men with Winchesters were on guard in the court room during the hearing. The pre-, caution taken precluded the possibility of trouble, and there was no demonstration of any kind.
