XawIrov axd Steel The summer dull ness has fairly set in. During the coming three weeks sales will ho restricted to lim ited amounts Prices lor most descriptions are weaker hut not quotably Ion er, with few exceptions. It must bo home in mind that the July sales of ran iron beat all previous records Many thousand tons have been sold for deliver the next three months. This place- both parties in a safe condition. The furnaces will be kept busy making iron already sold, knowing exactly what price they w ill recei e for it. Con sumers will be in similar shape. They hare made their contracts for large amounts, know exactly what the material will cost and when the same will bo delivered. Un der these circumstances quite a number of dealers have left business to take care of Itself and depaitcd for va nous points to en Joy a needed rest for a few weeks to pre pare for a big fall and inter trade, which, unless all signs fail, will be one that will place all previous records in the hack ground. "Will IXake Bessemer Iron. An Iron firm of this city has leased Hall & Co "s furnace at haron. Pa., and will make Bc-cmei iron The new linn has also pur chased about 1CO.O0O tons of Be'iemer ores. Since our List both Bc-scmer and non-Bessemer oresliJAe advanced 25 cents per ton,' and both kind are said to he scarce. Hence tho-o who made purchases earlier in the eaon i ill have that much advantage o er th.e who have to purcLase later.

Iti'a:iGiiAM, Al., July 8L The chronic dullness of the iron market continues with out noticeable lcaturo. Stocks are increas ing and the railroads are complaining of the short movement. As the fall approaches, -n hen the long hoped for rise Is expectud to make its appearance, operators are showing lc-s disposition to cut prices and force sales, and the outlook is that enotnous quantities u ill be tun eil in the jards of the Jhrrmng liaui disti ict.

Tho question of steel making is now enjoying tho attention oi all the Iron wen jii the district, Tlicpreliiiin.in-s have 'been completed and r. call made on the public for subscriptions. U'ho response is lavoi-aul" so far. Tic convict labor troubles in Tennessee have caused some uneasiness to the coal mining and furnace Interests hero. Two of the largest companies employ neatly 2,000 convicts In mining coal and making coke, and the district has always dependodlnrgely on this labor, especially as a preventative of strikes. Tho opinion is general that tho sj s tem will go out before very long, when tlio cost of fuel will inevitably be increased by the higher wages that free labor will secure. COMPETITION IS LIVELY Tor tho Limited Number of Orders Coming in to Cincinnati. fSrrCIAL TELEGBAU TO THE DISPATCH. J CiscncATi, July 3L Kogers, Brown & Co. say: Pig iron Is going forward quite rapidly to consumers on existing contracts, partly for immediate use, and, to some extent, in anticipation of a scarcity of cars hereafter. There has been the usual active competition for tho limited number of orders placed dur ing the week, hut only one or two transac tions at very low pneos are reported, and these are not well authenticated. There Is but little change in the condition among Southern coke furnaces. The higher gradPS of foundry, soft aipd silvery irons are scarce and the low er grades abundant. The Wood stock coke furnaces are accumulating iron in their yards, hoping that the long-looked-f or re vi al in car building will soon mate rialize and relieve them. "The Aetna charcoal furnace for some time Sast has been making "basic" pig for the hattanooga Steel Works. As the capacity of the furnace Is gi eater than that of tho steel plantat present, a limited portion of the product is placed on the market for foundry use. This kind of iron is quite a novelty In the United States. It is high in phosphorous and graphitic carbon, with only a trace of sulphur and hut little com bined carbon, and the No. 1 has les than one-half of 1 per cent of silicon. In spite of this the iron Is said to be extraordinarily fluid and especially adapted to art castings and work where fine lines are needed. The marked depression in Wall street and the attacks made on railroad and industrial stocks help to make the general outlook more discouraging. The good crops are still looked upon as the factor that will straighten matters out a little latter. THE CHICAGO SITUATION. Order Are Not Very Heavy and tho Few Are for Early Delivery Mainly. rSrECIAL TELEORAM TO THE DISPATCH. Chicago, July 3L Eogers, Brown & Mer wln say: The market for pig metal continues in practically tho same copdition as last re ported, orders for the most part being of small size, and covering early delivery. There are some large buyers who are still waiting for special prices, and are prepared to qulccly pick up any bargains of this kind which may be offered. Two or three sales of round lots of Southern coke iron hav e been reported, ranging in size from 1,000 to 2,000 tons. With this exception, or ders placed hfto been mainly for small amounts. Prices remain practically un changed, though on Lake Superior ch-ircoals one or tw o of the largest companies aro now holding their product at $1S 00, Chicago, in consequerceof the heavy sales which they have made, taking nearly the entire product for the coming season. Other furnaces making the same class of metal are still in the market for business at from $17 50 to $1S 00. During the past 30 to 60 days there has been a marked increase in production. The question is a pertinent one as to whether consumption Is keeping pace with this increase. If tho railroad lines become largo buyers in the autumn, as expected, it will certainly bring about an era of prosperity and activity in all depart ments of the iron and steel Industry. A BETTER PB0SPECT. More Inquiries Coming In and Increased Sales in the St. Louis Market. IFPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCIT. St. Louis, July 31. Rogers, Brown A Meacham say: The iron market in this vi cinity continues to improve. We note quite a difference In number of inquiries and in creased sales. However, most of the orders aro for small lots. The car works aro all running full, and report some improvement in trade.

Furnnces are uneasy, it seems, regarding the light demand, but are filling old orders and preparing for the fall business, which has every indication of being large. Metal Market.

A Glut of Garden Stuff and Prices the Lowest of the Season. So far as fruits and vegetables aro con cerned pnees are lower than they havo been for years at this time of tho year. Potatoes were firm a fe w w ceks ago at $4 50 per barrel, w hile now they are weak at $1 50. There was no time last season when cabhago ould not soil at 90a to $1 00 per bushel basket. The same havo sold this week at 25c per basket. Tomatoes w Inch sold a week ago at $3 50 per bushel aro now heavy stock at $2 25 per bushel. And this is the situa tion all along the line of farm and garden products. All the past week our markets In these lines havo had an overdose of stuff, and prices have dallv drifted downward. Tho smaller fruits aro near their end for tins season, naspber neshavc become a thing ot the past, and blackberries add huckleberries lead in lines of smal1 fruits. In place of that which has passed away comes the fruit of the vine, which appeared for the first time this week. The supply of peaches is steadily gaining, and bj another week our markets will no doubt be glutted with this fruit. Tho rush of apples from nearby fanners is such that pi ices havo become merely nominaL Theabsensoof many of the best custom ers, i ho are seeking rest and recreation at the sea shoro and mountains, and tho pres ence of such Immense quantities of stuff have together bad a demoralizing Influence on trade Florists report tho quietest week of tho season. At tho fish and meat stalls of the Diamond market the same testimony was given. The average consumer, w ho per force must remain at honie, can have no cause to complain of the situation.

NEW MOVEMENTS IN THE EAST END. The Month Closes "With a Decided Eallj-in Local Stocks and Fetrolenm. OFFICE AND STEEET NEWS AND GOSSIP It has been rumored for several days that the Pittsburg Female College trustees have had the Singer property, at Wilklnsburg, of fered to them as a location for their institu tion. Tho location of the land is unequaled for such a purpose, there boingSl acres, con veniently and beautifully situated, high and dry, yet easy of access; and if desired a large part of the ground, fronting prominent streets, could be sold at a price that would reduco tho Investment far below tho cost of the improvements now on the property. Tho advantages of this location for such an in stitution, in tho opinion of competent Judges, are superior in every way to any thing the trustees have previously had under consideration, and from what is known of their indentions it is a reasonable prediction that they will close with the affair. Kdst End Movements. Beal estate is of perennial lnterestln this community. People not only talk, hut write about It. Several prominent East End ladles have formed a syndicate and will hereafter invest their "pin money" in building lots. No matter what the conditions of the market may he at other places, it is all right hero. The following signed "East End" was re ceived yesterday. "The question is again asked why some en terprising citizens do not build a theater In the East End. AVeli, it would be a paying Institution, and to-day wo learn that a cer tain gentleman who Is able and willing to embark In the venture made an offer for a large frontage on Penn avenue, between Highland and Negley avenues. Property can he bought in that locality at one-fourth of the price asked, east of Highland, or about $300 per foot. Our Informant states that the investor expects to make enough on the advance in price to get back the cost of building. Hence he proposes buying sev eral extra lots. "Several Improvements are also spoken of as sure to go on soon In that section. The Ameiican Mechanics aro going to build an imposing hall with store underneath. A laige property holder also has plans out for a four-story building. It Is strange that this locality has been so long overlooked, as propertj- one square east has been sold for $1,000 per foot and $1,300 refused for corner lots Look out for a lively movement out that way soon." Foreign Thirst for Specie. The returns of tho chief English joint stock banks for tho half year ended June 80 go far to explain the foreign thirst for specie. For some years the banking Institutions of Great Britain havo been running on peril ously small specie reserves. They have de pended on the Bank of England. The Baring panic has apparently awakened all hand3 to the danger of such a situation. Tho Govern ment and the Bank of England authorities havo succeeded in impressing on the joint stock banks ths necessity of Increasing their reserves. As a consequence, the latest re turns show that institutions like the London and Westminster havo from 1 to 5 per cent moie specie reserve than they held at the beginning of the year. In other words, Eng land finds that it cannot do business on a narrow margin of specie. It has increased its specie balance, and the Increase is a per manency. Philadelphia Company Sleeting. The quarterly meeting of the Executive Board of tho Philadelphia Company was held yesterday aftornoon. Among other business a financial statement was sub mitted showing tho operations of the com pany during tho quarter Just closed: The statement snows tho gross earnings to be $588,822 86 ana net earnings $328,212 25.

The net debt Is $225,431 63, and totaX debt $1,262,641 41. Tho statement shows a decrease ot $71,4079 from. June 1 in the net debt. Business Sews and Gossip. The Spring Garden district, on the -Xorth-sldo, is badly in need of rapid transit. Within the last three years nearly $2,000, 000 has been expended for buildings and street improvements in the borough of Wil merding. The movement for n theater in the East End is making steady progress. An offer lias been made for a site on Ponn avenue. Vacant houses are as scarce on Alt. Troy as in any other quarter of Allegheny. Busi ness stands are at a premium. The trustees of the Belleficld Presbyterian Church have placed a mortgage for $20,000 with the Safe Deposit and Trust Company. The money will De used in improvements on their property. Within a few months $10,000,000 in bonds will be offered for sale In Chicago. Of this amount $5,000,000 w ill be the issue of the World's Fair bonds authorized by the law of the State of Illinois. The other $5,000,000 will be issued by the board of drainage trustees of the sanitary district of Chicago.

Philadelphia Gas and Luster Maintain Their Leadership Airbrake Stronger Trac tion Talk Steadiness Still a Feature Dignity of the Exchange to Be Upheld. Yesterday's stock market was the liveliest of the month. There was a good sprinkling of buying orders, and a more pronounced disposition to oporate than since the flurry in Electric. Total sales were 205 shares. Philadelphia Gas and Luster maintained their position as leaders, and furnished tho bulk of tho business. The former sold at 11 and 1 and finished steady at the latter figure. One or two big orders for this stock aroabont filled. Whether the withdrawal of this support will lower the quotation re mains to be seen. It probably w ill. Luster sold up to 13 and down to 12, affording op portunity for quick turns, but transactions were too small to make this profitable. There was a quiet demand for the street railways, hut with tho exception of Birming ham there was no movement In any of them. The recent decision was further discussed, and the prevailing opinion seemed to he that the roads affected wquld find a way out of the difficulty without interruption of business or serious financl' loss. Tho value of rapid transit to Pittsbu.g Is so well un derstood that technical violations of law aro not likely to be severelv punished. Airbrake advanced to 100 bid double the par value without bringing any of it to tho surface. It Is so strongly held that buyers will bo compelled to revise tholr flgnres. The rest of the list stood about as previous ly reported. After tho close of the last call attention was directed to the practice, much in vogue of la to among some of the brokees, of bom barding each other with paper wads and other missiles. President McKelvy an nounced that the limit of endurance had been reached, and that he would hereafter strictly enforce the rules for tho mainte nance of the dignity of tho Exchange.

THE M0HETABY SITUATION. Stronger Rates Show Better Employment of Funds Record for July. There was nothing new in the local money market yesteiday. Business was firm for the season. There was no scarcity of funds, hut that they are beginning to find employ ment is shown by the slight stiffening in rates. There Is very little, If any, money on the market below 6 per cent, and on time paper 7 is exacted. The Clearing House statement for the month disclosed a larger volume of business than expected. Clearings .were $4,000,000 in round numbers in excess of those of the pre vious month, and nearly $4,000,000 greater than in July, 1889. This is considerably be low the level of 1890, but the showing Is ex ceedingly gratifying under the circum stances and full of encouragement. The following are the figures: Yesterday's exchanges $1,868,250 26 . 233,408 09 . 61,408,483 81 10,802,312 50 Yesterday 's balanees. Exchanges for mouth. Balances formonth....

A BACK SEAT FOR BEARS. THE STOCK MARKET AGAIN ACTIVE AND IMPROVED. Realizing on tho Advance Checks the Dollish Feeling Somewhat Rock Island and Sugar Still "Weak Some Strong Specialties Two Factors Boom Railroad Bonds. New York, July 3L The stock market to day was again moderately active, and while there was a continuance of the bearish pressure upon the list, together with con siderable liquidation of long accounts, no material impression was made among the leading shares outside of Rock Island, and In the afternoon some of the specialties developed marked strength, with the effect of recovering a portion of the losses of the last few days. By the action of tho market yesterday afternoon and this morning, many wore led to believe that the downward movement that is, the power of tho bears to further de press prices was nearly at an end, and their resistance to tho pressure this morning was moro vigorous than dunng tho lastthreo days. The circulation of rumors reflecting on tho standing of some of the best houses In the street was looked upon In some quarters as an indication that the promul gators of tho stones had about come to the end of their rope, and moro disposition was evinced to take a chance on the other side of the market, which was encouraged, also, by pui chases for foreign account, estimated at some 23,000 shares. The smaller shorts ran to co er, but the larger bear interests maintained their attitude and sold tho list, as usual concentrating their early efforts upon Rock Island and Northern Pacific pre ferred, though tho unusually large gain of tho latter at the opening gave tho oppor tunity for effective hammering In it. Rock Island, however, was the only stock in which any real Important decline was effected among the leading shares. Later in the day some of the specialties made dips, which were generally quickly neutralized, and prices, as a rule, were well held throughout the day. The loreign de mand, with the covering of the shorts, made a decidedly strong opening, first prices being from i to per cent higher, with Northern Pacific preferred up c. The demand, however, was not sufficient to overpowerat once the pressure still brought to bear, especially upon Rock Island and Northern Pacific preferred, and those stocks declined materially, dragging tho rest of the list down to about the level of last evening's figures. The downward movement was checked before noon, and after that time de cided strength was shown in all parts of tho list, all the active stocks rising ovor 1 per cent, with the industrials leading, Chicago Gas shooting up 2J per cent The trading was marked by Irregular movements, and Cordage, after dropping rose 2 por oent, other low-piiced shares act ing In the same manner. The best pnees were made at about 2 p. "M., when realizations on the advances made caused the list to sag off slowly; but tho usual result of a check to the selling was seen in the dullness. The market finally closed dull, but steady to firm, at close to the highest figures of tho day. The final changes are quite irreglar, with a majority of advances, and while most stocks are only fractionally changed from last evenlne, Colorado Coal is up 2. Chicago Gns 1, Tennessee Coal 1, C, C, C. & St. L. VA, nnd Pacific Mail 1 per cent, while Sugar declined and Rock Island 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were also moro active, the sales of all Issues reached $775,000, but this in crease in activity was all in two bonds Ore gon Improvement 5s and Richmond and West Point 5s, the latter being specially strong, while tho former was equally so. Oregon Improvement 5s roso 3 per cent, to 61. The general list followed closely the changes in stocks. The following table shows tne prices of active stocks on the New Tork Stock Exchange yester day.

Dairy products are still in short supply, and markets rule strong for Ohio cheese and all choice grades of creamery butter. Tropical fruits aro slow for tho reason that markets are Hooded with home-grown fruit. Lemons are the exception to tho rule, there being an Improved demand and bettor prices in this lino the past week. So long as domestic fruits keep coming in as they do now, there will ho little demand for tropical products. The first grapes of the season put in their appearance this week. All things In fruit and vegetable lines are a drug in the mar kets. Prices of apples, peaches, melons, cabbage and potatoes show a downward in clination. Tho fact is that receipts both this week and last are beyond tho power of our markets to take In, and hence the buyer has the field. Apfles-ITSSOc a bushel, 75eJl 25 per barrel. BUTTER-Criimery.

They "Were Heavilj Stocked in Expectation of a Rise Yesterday, but Were Disap pointed Wheat, Corn, Oats and Pro visions Are All Materially Lower. CHICAGO The hulls in wheat wero dis appointed to-day. They wero loaded with grain and expected to sell out at a good profit. The opportunity was not furnished them, however, for at no time during the session did prices go as high as the closing figures last night, and tho close was 1K lower than tho then prices for the various futures. Somoof the early news was rather favora ble to their hopes. Liverpool was Id higher on spot wheat and Jd on futures, and Paris was quoted 1030 centimes higher according to some private cables; but London cargoes were 2d lower. Receipts were H carloads in excess of the estimates. The weather was fine for harvesting, and corn was de cidedly weak and lower. The latter pieces of new s undermined confidence a little, and when it was discovered that all domestic markets were starting off on a decline and that New York, which has for some days furnished most of the hull stimulant, was selling heavily, the crowd quickly followed suit, and In tho anxiety to get nd of their holdings began making concessions. The later cables quoted Liv erpool as lower, and Paris camo in 25 centimes lower, with good weather in the United Kinsdom and on the Continent, and the liquidating becamo more eager There was not much individ uality in the selling, hut everybody seemed to have some property he did not want and others seemed to be indifferent about ob taining possession of it. Tho result was a session of much weakness and a drop of about 1 cent from the early figures. December opened at DOViiiJOOJc and gradu ally receded to 89SS9c. The market ruled dull and narrow dunng the last hour, and December kept most of the time at 89Ko and 89JaC. The Board of Trade's closing table from Paris was 1015 centimes higher than yesterday, and Liverpool was also higher. This news helped the market a lit tle and the close was at 69c. Nearly all private cables lmm the Continent quoted lower prices, and even the Board's cable give the decline at Berlin at 3 marks on July wheat Crop prospects continue brilliant, and some dispatches reported threshing al ready commenced in Minnesota with yields ranging from 25 to 31 bushels per acre. South Dakota reported the wheat crop assured, and North Dakota wired that two weeks more would bring the crops to maturity. The prediction of frosts in the Northwest, which gave the corn market a boost near the olose yesterday, was not fulfilled. On the contrary, the weather In that section was clear and warmer. As a consequence, corn bad a had break to-day. Sales of Sep tember were made around the opening at anywhere between 56Jc and 5754c, and it soon sold below the former prices. Tho weakness in wheat and heavy estimates for to-morrow were also weakening factors. Re ceiver had heavy selling orders, and tho clique made but a feeble effort to stop the decline. Soptemberbroko to 56c; reacted to 57c; dropped to 56c; advanced to 56c; again touched 56Jc; reacted to 5Gc, at which it closed. Oats was weak in sympathy with corn and on an excess of 60 cars m tho recolpts above the estimates. Thecloso was o be low yesterday's final figures. Hog products were lower, largely in sym pathy w 1th the weakness in the grain pits, and especially in corn. September pork sold from $11 27K to $1137i and closed at $11 32, a loss of 10c compared with yofter dav. Lard and ribs lost 5c. The leading futures ranged as follows, as corrected by John M.
