STATE OP TIIE FOREIGN 3IETAL TRADE tSrtCIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. Set York, Aug. 20. The Iron Age re ports the condition of the iron and steel markets as follows: American rip The New York market has shown very few changes, the only item of interest being unconfirmed rumors of the selling of Southern gray forge on the basis of fn .r0. Northern brands arc quoted at Sir. 7.18 00 for Xo.-l; S16 0016 50 for No. 2 and SU 0014 50 for cray forge.

We note the sale of a lew thousand ton- of tnrvin ire rods for shipment to the Pacific coast at prices lower than thoe "uliich could be made hy home producers, chiefly on account of 'low freights trom Europe to l'acilic coast norts.

Steel Hails Eastern mill do not report a slnclotransaetion of consequence, and there is little 1m-ine m the market. The Eastern mills are ranidlv exhausting their orders. and it seems piohnhle that some of them will he forced to close down entirely at an early date. In fact, one of the mills has al ready notified those with whom it has con tract for ore pig and spiegcl that deliveries must be stopped for the present.

A Clique, Aiming at a Corner in September Corn, Dcpresies That Cereal Wheat Anain Bullish, Advancing ns nigh ns SI 08 1-2 A 1'anlc of Shorts In Oats. CIIICA;o The grain markets were again feverish, and subject to l-apid and wide vac ation in price in the early trading this morning. Wheat and oats continued ex cited, with occasional spells ot dullness, and closed with decided ndvancos, but corn, after opening decidedly higher, grow dull and weak and failed to respond to the later advances in the other cereals. This was due to fears of manipulation by n cliqne which is said to comprise n number of heavy loc.il houses with Eastern liacking, who are supposed to bo preparing 11 corner on September. There were also suspicions of many decreases in wheat, but thoevi Ucnccofthis was not conclusive, as the news of thedav was sufficient in itself, consider ing tho nervous market, to cause the ad vance. Wheat opened with a bull hurrah, with December quoted at trom $105 to $105, ugaiiifet $1 01 at the clo-e yesterday, and sold quickly up to $1 m;, followed by an almost as speedy decline to $1 MS It lingered in that neighborhood lor a time and then took a dip downward to fl 0IJ., relwunded to$l 05, broke to 1 04J4. AH tnis occurred within the first two hours of the session. The fluctuations later in the day displayed the same nervousness and uncertainty among the traders, hut prices moved upon a higher pl-uie. About 12 o'clock the price Bhot up 111 live minutes irom ?1 054 to 1 1.7, diopped back U'c, and then Jumped again, touching fl 07?(,: hesitated lor a lime, then bounded to $ 1 1', but under heavv offer ings near the close, brouo to and closed at H n'tji.. Th trading became very animated at the higher range cf prices, and a repetl tloimf the panicky ;-:.itc .1 last Saturday and Mo;id-iv appeared imminent forn mo ment or tUO. PT'ie!-i'Miews was strongly hulllsh.biit the great Dnlge of the day was due to a dispatch to the effect that the Itussian Government had issued an order piohibiting the export of wheat contniiiin !" per cent of rye, and another cablegram which reported the prohibition of exports of rye from Finland. The corn market was very nervous and erratic The croud were all buyers or all sellers at the same moment on revcral oc casions. The shorts were in hot wafer throughout most of the session, andafraid to trade on account of the supposed corner. There was quite a demand here for corn for direct shipment to England. September In different parts or tho pit at tho same time sold at tho opening from C7 cents up to 09 cents, but very few bought It at the higher price, and Its tumble was quick, 6. being marked in the first half minute's trading. It recovered again toCTK cents very quickly, and later it reached 65) cents. It broke later to 0C, cents, but tne market milled some with the lato strength in wheat, and closed at C7H cents. Good buying of oats for export, both hero and in Now York, frightened the shorts,who literally tumbled over one another in their efforts to cover, forcing prices up 162' cents. Tho provision market was rather active, and notwithstanding heavy receipts of hoars and lower prices for them, the products w ere inclined to tlrmness. The fluctuations were narrow, and the changes from yester day's closing prices small. The leading futures ranged as follows, aa corrected bv John M.

THE POINTS IN REALTY. Condition and Outlook of The Market For The Rest of The Year. A KEW ELDORADO IN THE WEST. Some Encouraging Features in Local Specu lation, and no Bad Ones, OFFICE AND STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP. Eenl estate brokers and -dealers without exception, so far as knownj'entertnin san guine expectations of a large business: the coming fall. The summer lull has whetted the appetites of buyers and steadied the market. It is not likely that there will be much change in values. They are strong, and will remain so. About tho only excep tions will be in the cases of owners of lots pressed for money by reason of the strikes. Business properties present a flim front. Their comparative scarcity in desirable localities puts buyers somewhat at the mercy of owners. The trend has been up ward for several years, and there is nothing in sight upon which to baso anticipation of a reaction. Rapid transit, whilo proving nn important factor In building up the out skirts has also been a boon to buyers. It has opened up all the districts around the city. Formerly tho buyer was restricted in his choico of location to the East End or the Northside, but now he has a wide field for selection, and if he cannot sccuro terms in one placo to suit ho can go to another. This competition has a restraining influence upon owners 01 suDuruau properties. From theso nnd other considerations which will occur to the reader, it is considered safe to say that values will remain at about their pre sent level during the remainder of the year. Next vear tho country will experience tho full effects of the big crops, and values may swing upward. A Kcw Eldorado. Reports are coming in of large finds of gold in Middle and Western Washington nnd nlso in Colorado. Neither region has been fully explored. Tho former is being rapidly populated, and while the latter has been long settled the population is a drift ing one. The mining spirit has been de voted almost exclusively to tho production of silver, and the undeveloped portions of Colorado have bceir negloctcd. An expert states that this region contains froo gold ores capable of yielding, generation alter generation, many times the yearly output 01 uuuomia. it is oenoveu uy tno dcsi in formed men that it will bo turning out $150, 000,000 of gold per year within the next ten years. If these rcpoi ts turn out to be true, the production of gold will bo greatly in creased. At present it hardly reaches $40, 000,000 per year. Business News and Gossip.

A Whirl In Wheeling Gas on Field Devel opment Electric Shows Signs of Vitality Philadelphia Gas Alive and Kicking Tractions in Bad Order. Local stock traders did not have their war paint on yesterday, and tho day passed with little to show for it. Total sales were 15 shares and two memberships. The feature of the day was a sharp ad vance in Wheeling Gas. Opening at 22, it advanced to 23 at the second call and to 23 at the third. The close was stiong at this figure. The bulge was based on another big oil well nt McDonald and tho good condition of tho compnny generally. Many think the stock will go still Higher. Chartiers Gas was refused at 7. From tho last showing of the company it is hard to ac count for the disfavor into which it has lallen. Philadelphia Gas was steady, with a con siderable number of orders unfilled. It is said its earnings the coming fall and winter will be greater than for two or three years. Arrangements have been made to meet any roasonable demnnd for gas. Luster was clipped a. traction. An insider said yesterday a leport of operations at the mine would he made the eaily part of next month. Electric, responding to a movement in New York, was bid up to 11 without sales. It is the opinion or several well.posted brok ers that this stock will soon be an nctive factor in the market. Reorganization is so nearly completed that there is 110 longer reason to anticipate a failure. The regular tractions were weaker, if any thing, and the same may bo said of tho un listed group. Manchester wns offered at PITTSBURG ' DISPATCH. 38Ji and Birmingham atlEJi. For Citizens Traction 5' 1 06 was bid. There is too much of this stock for the present capacity of the market.

A REVIVAL OF CONFIDENCE MARKS TIIE DATS TRANSACTIONS IN STOCKS AND BONDS. Time Money Easier The Near Future With out a Discernible Cloud Grangers by Far the Most Prominent, Tint Industrials Also Active A Hond Revival. New Yoke, August 20. The stock market to-day again gave evidence of tho revlvnl of confidence among all classes of operators, and the course of prices during tho day was most discouraging to those who are looking for a material reaction in stocks. London was again n heavy seller, and Dear manipu lation was not wanting to make a serious depression, but tho volume of buying for tho outside account was such that not only wore the free offerings absorbed, but marked ad vances in ninny cases were seen. Another evidence of a general increase in conlldenco In higher prices in the market, was the easier tendency in time money, with a relaxation of the late severe semtiny of collaterals, while the long expected revival of interest and business in tho bond market is one of the mo.st influential factors in the situation. The Union Pacific matter is out of the wny.at least for the present, and the market lias no cloud upon it; and " hile it still lacks breadth the number of stocks traded in from day to day shows a most en couraging increaso. Tho Grangers, as usual of late, absorbed most of tho attention of operators, nnd whilo St. Paul and Atchison were most largelv traded in, Bnrliugton and Rock Island dis played tho most pronounced strength. Out side of Union Pacific the Gould stocks wero given more attention, and the Industrials again became prominent both for activity and strength. Sugar, Cotton Oil and Cord age all scored handsome gains. Sugar was specially strong, whilo new life was given Cordugc, .nd It spurted up 1 per cent to 9t. The market Anally closed iairly active and still rather heavy at but slight changes for the day in most eases. Railroad bonds showed a falling off In activity, tho transactions footing yp l,5Gl, 000, but tho strength shown was more steady than that injshares, and the final changes this evening show many marked gains.

"My pillow is so hot!" is the frequent plaint of the tired invalid who vainly seeks some cool spot on which to rest her fevered head. "Change the pillows frequently," we arc told by an authority on nursing, "as nothing is more restful to a patient in sum mer than to have a cool support to head and back." Tho-following suggestion therefore, may prove to he of service: Take writing paper of any kind old let ters and envelopes can all be made of use and cut in strips of two inches long nnd about halfnn iuch wide. Cyri these with a dull knife, and after stuffing the pillow case with them sciv up the end. The result will be a very comfortable pillow through which there will be a constant circulation of air, and which will remain perfcotly cool.

MARKET GLUTTED.IN FRUIT LINES. Bull Movement of Cereals Apparently Ended for the Time. SUGAR VERT FIRST AND COFFEE WEAK Office of Pittsbcro Dispatch, ) Thursday, Ang. 20. Country Produce (Jobbing prices) Our quotations on creamery butter are again advanced, in accordance with the facts. It is seldom that choice creamery is as scarce in this market as it has been the past few weeks. Eggs are quiet, and lOc per dozen is the prevailing price for job lots. Produce commission houses arc overstocked with peaches and melons, and the situation nil along the line of fruits and vegetables is favorable to the buyer. Gardeners from nearby complain that, while stuff is plenti ful, it is hard to sell at very low prices, necessitating much work and little pay. At the Diamond mnrkots the best tomatoesand cucumbers are slow nt 60c per bushel basket. There have been sales in the past day ortwo at thrc'o baskets for $L Last season at this timo tomatoes sold here at $1 per basket and upward. Potntocs are steadily gaining in quality nnd demand Is Improving, with prices higher than they were at the begin ning of the week. Receipts of bananas aro light the past week in comparison with re ceipts a few weeks gone. But ss it is there aro more than enough to meet nil demands, and markets are weak.

Under Like Conditions They Would Cross tho Atlantic In the Same Time. New York World. It is generally conceded that there are six ships which are about equal in point of speed. These are the Majestic and Teu tonic, of the "White Star Line; the Oity of Pnris and the City of New York, of the Inman Line; the Fuerst Bismarck, of the Hamburg-American Line, and La Touraine, of the French Line. As between these vessols a fast voyage is a matter of conditionss outside of the ship. It has been said, and it is very likely true, that tinder the same condition these vessels would travel nt the same rate of speed. People are likely to lose sight of the per formances of the ships of the Hamburg and the French Lines, because the, greatest in terest centers in the time from Queeustown to Xew York, and neither of those two lines touches at Queenstown. As a matter of fact the City of Xew York has made a record that has not been equaled, in that she made over 500 miles for four days. The City of Paris over 500 miles for three successive days. The JIajcstic made over 500 miles on one day only. Had the City of Paris had the most favorable conditions on her famous vovaee there is little donbt but that she would have made the journey faster time. in much INOALLS' E00E ON PALESTINE. The Brilliant Ex-Senntor Is Likely to Go Deeper Than More Description. New York World. Ex-Scnntor Ingalls, while abroad, will visit Palestine and thoroughly explore the theater of the great movement and tragedy which inaugurated the Christian era. He will spend several months there, and it is not improbable that the public may profit by his visit in the way of a book. The volume, if written, will not be merely a record of travel, relieved by picturesque descriptions of the country as it appears to day, but will be of a- more ambitious and important nature and deal with the great spintti.il questions suggested by the pro lonndly interesting environment. 3Ir. ingalls has always exhibited a fond ness for speculation of that character. He is an agnostic, but at the same time a close student of the Bible and an ardent lover of the poetry and philosophy that pervade many of the sacred books. In his famous tribute to the memory of Ben Hill, he of fended many orthodox people by the views he more suggested than expressed with re gard -to the future; but since then, on more than one occasion, he has, while recanting nothing of the real meaning of those first utterances, made himself better understood on the topic thnt men account the highest offered for consideration.
