FETOXTSEPTEMBEl SVIBKL: K..f - SELLERS STAND FIEM. They HaYe Beached the Limit of Con cessions to Purchasers. A STBOXGER FEELING PREVAILS In Iron Circles, Although the Increase in Easiness Js Slight. STATE OF THE FOREIGN METAL TRADE rsrECtAl. TELEGRAM TO TISE DISPATCH. Kkw York, Sept 3. The Iron Age re ports the iron and steel markets as follows: In all branches of the iron trade there has been little actual increase in business, but there is unquestionably a stronger feel ing in some lines, expressed chiefly through the fact that sellers will not at the slightest sign of resistance on the part of the buyer abandon the position taken by them and make an effort to capture business by prompt concessions. It is beginning to happen that a seller lias an ultimatum and stands to it. The only fact which causes uneasines' is the report or sales of steel billets at low figures by a leading rittsburs maker. American rijr While there is a fair in- Suiry tor foundry irons forgo grades are nil. There have been soiuo sales, in round lots, of Michigan charcoal iron on the basis of $17 50, Buffalo Northern brands are c Iff? 17 ?15 251G 00 for Xo. 2. $15 52e16 CO for No. 1 soil, and $14 OU.fi? H no lorgray iorcc Ferro Manganie The Joreign combina tion has advanced the price of ferro man ganese, and importers now quote $64 50 5 UO. Consumers, however seem well sup plied, efforts to place ferro at the old price in anticipation or the advance not having led to much business. . Billets and Rods In tho East tho market isvervdull. The feeling is easier as the re sult of the report Horn the west, where wire billets are reported to have been sold at $24 5024 75. wlnlo rods have changed hands at $33 503i CO. Hero wo quote for eign billets at $31 2531 50. and domestic wire rods at $37 50Q3S 0U. tidewater. Steel Rails Alter mauy weeks of dullness we can now record the placing of one good order, for about 10 003 tons, for a Southern railroad by the Maryland Steel Company. The feeling in the trade is hopeful, and the appearance of some inquiries for round lots alter so long a period of stagnation is re garded as an earnest of the better times to come And vet there is no serious thought of higher prices, but it is believed that be fore long the representatives or the mills will come together and deal n ith a few mat ters of detail which need adjustment. We continue to auotc $J0 7531 00 at tidewater. Manufactured Iron and Steel Conditions are practieallv unchanged. There is a fair amount of architectural work at low prices, very active competition for bridge i ork, and continued weakness in plates. Bars, how ever, show a somewhat stronger feeling, and a moderate advance is among tho possibili ties of the near future.

I rOBEIGN METAI MAEKETS. Pig Iron Still Remains Quiet, While Copper and Tin are Irregular. XEwYoitK,S'pt.3. Special. The foreign metal markets are thus reported by the Iron Jige-. In London the pig iron warrant mar ket has remained very quiet and stocks in Connal's stores remain almost stationary. The last returns shon 501,000 tons Scotch and 151,000 tons Cleveland. Firms not connected with the "ring" remain idlo and are likely to continue to, as those most deeply inter ested in Scotch ecm disinclined to let the prico fall below 47s The shipping demand is limited.

Tig tin, prompt dclhery. advanced to 92 2 6d on Friday, under the influence or the freer demand, but a subsequent falling off in orders led to a reaction of 17s 6d that gae the market n e.ik appearance.

The furnace men, how ever, are stocking up and a revival in the Iron market is all that will improve it. Shipments iast week went several hundred cirs ahead of the previous week, and many of tho smaller operators are accusing some ot the larger operators with cutting prices, but the big fellows deny it and saythny are maintainiiigthe regular rates.

CHICAGO The wheat market appeared to have touched a price early in the session to-day below which speculative sentiment does not expect to And much profit in short sales, and it took very little in tho way of additional bull news to cause a lively re action and put the price lc higher than it closed j e.sterday In spite of a ery weak cablegrams, wheat opened at from on'yJc lower to Jc higher than it closed 5 cstcrday. Thero were some rather erratic performances in the prlvilego crowd yesterday afternoon, the result of which was the advance of the price" of calls for to-day from $1 OlJgl 06, and even higher. The outside oulers were principally to sell, ' and local shorts took all such offerings. The range m price for the first hour was narrorf, not getting below Sitjc or above $1 O0J4, and that show of comparative calm begot more confidence among the local bears, who raided the price down to ISc. After oniolight recovery a cable message was received quoting Lnerpool 2d higher on renewed wet weather. This immediately set the pit here In a ferment, during which rracticallj no wheat could be bought until from around 99ctl 004 was being offered. The price advanced to $1 00 bcrore t.iis buying feer abated, and as the excitement lessened the price began to dwindle also. The advance had been helped by tho heavy Atlantic clearances, amounting to 1,000,000. Another scramble to buy in short wheat oc curred on the rally and the price went up in about ten minutes from around $1 00J to SI 01 There was another quiet and draggy spell, during which the price worked oil again to $100,but the shorts by this time had be come thoioughly demoralized, and it took but a moderate pressure from the bulls to again shoi e prices up to $1 01 and closed atilOOJi. Corn opened strong and higher on private reports ot killing Hosts in the West and Northwest, and tears that this era of low temperature would spread over the corn belt. The weather maps showed light: frosts to hao ocenned in portions of Iowa and Sonth Dakota, and killing frosts at Chey enne, Wyo.. and Moorehead, Minn. Those were the influences which brought out buyers at the opening for October at from 8'53$c, compared with SSJic at the close ot f.h- piecediug session. The prediction of the Signal Serv ice Bureau for to-night's tem perature, that light frosts would occur . in tho northern portion of the corn belt and in Wisconsin, caused a further advance, dnrlng which October sold tip to 60Wc The closing prices were within a small fraction of the best of the day, October closing nt 60c In (?ats price changes were fow and unim portant, the fluctuations for the day -amounting to only ($Xc Hog products opened very Arm, and under goodhuying the price started up and be came stronger as the session advanced, the latest prices being the highest of ihedav.

Pcrricn is the wealthy miller who was- ab ducted last winter and kept by his abduct ors several day s. They used him -viciously, tried to frighten him into signing a check for a large sum . of money, but finally let him go home without having gained their point.

Failur oFthe First Attempt to Sell the Shoenberger Property. GLASS COMPANY STOCK PICKED UP. The Fidelity Title and Trust Company Increases Its Resources. FINANCIAL AND SPECULATIVE DEET Yesterday at 10 o'clock was the time set by the Orphans' Court for the auction sale of the interests of the late J. H. Shoen berger as special partner in the firms of Schoenberger& Go. and Schoenberger.Speer & Co.,iron and steel manufacturers.' The de cedent had a 5.32d interest in each firm, the ap praised value of which is $208,07982. "When Auctioneer Xeggate arose to open the pro ceedings seven gentlemen were comfortably seated in the oflice facing the immense plant These included all the partners except one. Bidding was slow. Finally Mr. Speer of fered f 53, 000 under the impression that the profits of 1890 were included, but on At torney Shiras stating the sale was to date as from July, 1891, Mr. Speerwlthdrow his bid. Afterwaiting until nearly 11 o'clock, and no other bids being made, the sale was ad journed until Tuesday, .October G, at 3 r. v. .Meanwhile the executors will receive .pri vate offers. The fidelity Doubles ItsiBesources. The stockhorders of the Fidelity Title and Trust Company decided nt a special meet-' ing held yesterday afternoon to increase Its capital to $1,000,020. The present stock holders are entitled to subscribe for one share of new stock for one share of the pres ent holdings, with tho right of assigning the options. Any new stock not taken by the original owner "Mil doubtless find ready sale The payments have been made quite easy; 10 per cent October land 10 per cent every sixty days thereafter. But every sub scriber becomes liable for the unpaid bal ance of his subscription, and upon the entire stock being taken the company may be fairly regarded as having a capital of $1,000, 000. Under the Corporation Act of this Com monwealth the capital stock of a trust com pany is taken In lieu of the bond ordinarily given by a 1 guardian, administrator or others; and the directors appreciating the value of ample security recommended the action which the stockholders yesterday confirmed. In a corporation as large as the "Fidelity" absolute unanimity is not to be expected, tgt out of 5,000 shares only 3S3 shares voted against the increase. About 75 per cent of the w hole capital n as represented., 'It is probable the new capital will D4 largely invested in installment mortgages, which experience elsewhere has shown tfi be a desirable form for persons desiring to make frequent and small payments. Each payment being an equivalent to an Invest ment of that amount at the same rate of in terest as the mortgage bears, it keeps the mortgagor's " money always actively cm- Sloyed, Instead of lying idle, to meet one :rge payment, or at best earning a low rate of interest. The Fidelity has grown to be one of the most important institutions of Pittsburg. It finds a constantly enlarging field of useful ness In this city. Meeting With Fair Success. Subscriptions to the preferred stock of the United States Glass Company are coming in quite fairly. Robinson Bros, report that up to date $320,000 of the $500,000 has been taken. Subscriptions were from one share to 250. Subscribers are nearly all Pittsburgers. Ground for Encouragement. While It is plain enough that there Is no boom in Pittsburg real ty.tlie market is fairly active and full of good features. It is not oversold, and there is a good, strong Inquiry for use and investment. Spe6ulation, like hanging, is almost played out. The prospect of an abundance of money for some time to como is causing farsighted operators to turn their attention to lands and houses, and many of them 'have important deals under consideration. Four or five downtown uroti- ertles are cooking. -in tuc ounying districts rapid transit nas penetrated, territory "is being developed and built up with surprising rapidity. All things considered, the outlook Is full of en 'couragement. ' , A Chance for Home-Seekers.

This will be another good week In tho building line. Large permits are a special feature. A mortgage ' specialist said yesterday: "Business is slow on account of the absence of many of the lenders. Inquiry Is good and the outlook ravorable for a good" movement this fall. Very little money is offered under 6 per cent." .It is rnther singular that whenever the croakers exhaust the stock: of natural gas in their minds new sources of supply are developed.

At tho rate at which exchange has been declining during the present week, it will not. tako much additional pressure to reach, tho gold importing point. That pressure is being supplied by the,enormous foreign buying of stocks. The coming exports of grain would render gold imports inevitable; But tho buy ing of onr securities by foreign interests, on the scale they are now taking them, makes assurance doubly sure."

Various Rumors Concerning Union Pacific Have Their Effect Burlington Also an Element of Weakness No Interest in In dustries Hallroad Bonds DulL New York, Sept. 3. The stock market con tinues to show a steadily decreasing volnme of business, and to-day the trading was only moderate outside of the half dozen stocks which still remain prominent in the market The buying power seems to be checked for the moment, and the bull leaders are letting the market take care of itself apparently. In to-day's market Union Pacific was still the prominent object of attention and tho rumors were still thick, the one concerning the application for a receiver at Omaha mak ing most mischief. Official denials which followed each ono as Issued seemed to have no material effect, hut the stock was not as weak as yestei"uay, and late in the day the interest in its fluctuations was in great part transferred to other securities. More pressure as brought to bear upon the Grangers, and Burlington and Rock Island especially bore the brunt of the attacks, and at times exhibited considerable weakness. The general list was very quiet, and tho extreme fluctuations in but few cases reached' 1 per cent. The opening was comparatively quiet and heavy to weak, Union Pacific and Burling ton each showing declines of per cent from last night's figures, and in the early dealings, which were principally affected by tlje reports of frosts in the Northwest, caus ing selling for Western account, there w ere fuither recessions in almost all the stocks. The Grangers' weakness encouraged the local beai clement, and they hammered the list all along the line. The reactions were in no case of importance until the last hour, when the losses In the Ynnderbilts were largely made up, Canada Southern rising oyer 1 per cent from its lowest fignres.- The dealings In the Industrials were of no interest. .. The market continuetLto settle away slow ly in most-stocks, but rapidly enough in the leaders, until the last few minutes' trading, when the usual attempt to cover by the room traders resulted in a small rally, and the close n as quiet but steady to firm at the recoveries from the lowest points. The ac tive list, however, shows invariable losses, w ith Rock Island and Beading down 1; Burlington, and Canada Southern, l:st. Paul and Missouri Pacific, 1: Northern Pacific preferred and a, C, C.'A St. L.,1J, and Atchison and New England, 1 per cent. Railroad bonds also showed a loss in inter est, and while there were a large number of Issues traded in the total transactions were materially smaller than thoso of the last few days. The tone of the market was heavy to weak, and many of the activo bonds scored important losses. Total sales, $1,108 000.

H Tho course of this stock is hard to under stand. It's ups and downs are beyond calcu lation. Conditipns have been ignored so Tong that they have almost ceased to be a factor. Bnt a change appears to have taken place, and the statement of the company that they will have plenty of gas for tho winter has doubtless had some effect Some strong buyers aro in the market, and orders are said to bo coming in from Philadelphia. The stock was strong yesterday and closed better than the opening pn comparatively heavy selling. There was vague talk of a dividend In October. Electric held advanced ground, selling at 14, and finishing strong at that figure. Buy ers wero largely In the majority. Airbrake continued its upward movement, adding half 6. point to its credit.

A coroner's inquest was held and it was Jound that Travis had committed suicide by taking poison. Uls clothes were wet and it is probable, that after: taking the poison he started to drown himself, bnt, after getting wet, his nerve failed him and ,tho poison did its work. A letter was found on him, saying that he -would be found dead this morning because lllehadnocharmsforhlmand ho was dis gusted with hishome. Itwashisdeslroto be a leader In society, butnot having the neces sary -money ho became disconsolate: Ho also had an idea that it was a disgrace to work.

( Country Produce (Jobbing prices) Eeceipts of peaches to-day were the largest this week, the total being above-15 carloads. Notwithstanding liberal receipts, demand was good for all good stock at prices quoted. Other fruits 'and melons go slow and are likely to until' the great peach crop is worked off. In vegetable lines we haye to report continued dullness. Tomatoes, cab bage and sweet potatoes are a. drug, and prices are merely nominal. Strictly fresh eggs are tending upward, and, as will be seen, our quotations, are advanced. The supply of strictly choice creamery hutter is still short of demand, and markets are firm enough to advance within a few days. With the upward tendency ot butter, oleo begins to pnt in its yearly appearance, and is al ready selling freely for what it Is not, namely, hutter. Jobbers In dairy product lines anxiously await the decision of our courts as to the lawfulness of oleo selling. This decision will have a very important hearing on the butter trade this fall and win ter.
