The Iron Ag) re ports the iron and Ft eel markets as follows: American Pig Sellers in this section re port that while an effort is being made to obtain full prices, occasional weak spots do appear, so that in some instances buyers succeed in covering requirements for the near future at prices close to the lowest made. Southern furnaces are stiffening. During the past week there have been sales in the "West of large lots, including one block of 10,000 tons, another of 9,000 tons, and a third of 7,500 tons, for delivery during the early part of next year, on the basis of $10, Birm ingham, for Kray forge and 510 25 for Xo. 3 foundry, figures which show a clear advance of Coc" a ton.

Later on prices improved under tho Influence of purchases to cover short accounts and bet ter buyiiiz on the part of con sumers.

The weather there to-day was clear and cold, with tho early re sumption of threshing expected. Tho re ceipts both hero nnd in the Northwest were larger than were looked for. Reports from tho Southwest wore also encouraging, the late rains having expedited the fall seeding. The State reports of Michiean and Kansas indicated a total yield or $11,000,000 more than that given by the Government crop re port. The Cincinnati Price Cwrrent liadabearish articlo saying that the recent rains in the Southwest had led to much fall seedlnir dur ing the past week and that the general situ-J ntion was mucn linprovcu; tuatiarmers were not delivering ficely, but that millers were restricting their purchases; that the world's deficiency in breadstuff was about equal to the European rye shortane.and thafcextreme prices were unlikely. On the weakness in the situation the longs began to unload and short sellers were greatly encouraged. Xot only the local longs, bnt some big lines held bv outsiders, notably for Xew York came on the market. A Xew York dispatch reported that most of tho lorelgn houses there bad selling orders and that the tone of that mar ket was very weak. Decemner, which closed yesterday at 9SJc.

This cave the stubborn bulls the upper hand, mid, In the lat few minute, they put the price up to90Jc,at which it closed firm. Cora was fairly active and decidedly weak. The receipts wore a little above expecta tions, nnd Included 11 cars of new corn. The weakness in wheat, the falling off in tho shipping demand and the fact that the com was "apparently beginning to arrive freely, sapped the confidence of holders, and long corn was offered liberally, but there seemed to be very little demand lor it, the short in terest being apparently very mall. and the decline was sharp. At this end-off there were a few transactions as high as 5J'4o for October, against Tc at the close csterday, but there was no backing and the price plunged at once to 53c, and finally to 52c. There was then a reaction to 52JXC-a reces sion to 52c, around which the market held for a time, but there was a rally toward the close with wheat, and the last figures were 8-'?c. Oats were dull and steady, with fluctua tions within very narrow limits. Farmers are maikoting their hogs freely, tearinr lower prices. As a consequenco the receipts here, at Kansa City and at Omaha wore heavy and pricos lower. In spite of thl, however, and in the face of the weak ness in cojn, hog products were strong and higher.

Plans Accepted for a Stone Structure Three Stories High. SUCCESS OF A NOBLE ESTERPRISE. Features of the Xeir Postoffice District Nott an Attractive Card. TREND OP MONET AND SPECULATION It was learned yesterday from good au thority that a design had been accepted for the Newsboys' Home to be erected at the corner of Old avenue and Shingiss street, on ground donated for that purpose by Mrs. Schenley. Several plans were sent in to the commit tee, all being so good that it was a difficult matter to make a choice. The one selected contemplates a stone building about 100 feet square and three stories high. It will re semble in a general way the Carnegie Library building at Braddoek, but will be handsomer. The completed structure will cost about $50,0001 Ground will soon be broken nnd work pushed forward as fast as possible. The promotors of this noble enterprise are to be congratulated on the success which has so far attended their efforts to provide a home for an army of little folk to whom all people should not only be willing but anxious to extend a helping hand. A Progressive District. Fourth avenue is the "Wall street of Pitts burg. Its growth as a financial artery has been rapid and gratifying. It is the center of the banking and real estate district The occupancy of the new postoffice has given it a fresh impulse, and the completion of the big buildings that are under way and of sev eral others that will be erected next spring, will give it a still greater lift. It nns been stated that the demand for business property is centering in the district bounded by fifth avenue, Grant and "Wood streets and the river. Of these thorough fares Smithfield street and Fourth avenue are in most favor, and nearly all the im provements in sight in the precinct in ques tion relate to one or the other. Good, round prices have lately been realized on Smithfield, bnt a deal or two will probably be concluded before long which will break the record. The sale of a property on Third avenue for 527,000 was reported in this column yes terday. Another deal is pending in the same'localitv involving about 40,000. This street has always been backward, but it is catching the progressive spirit displayed on Fourth and Smithfield, and promises to be the scene of considerable activity within tne next lew months. Old and New Flits bnrg. 3Ir. "William Overton, a lormcr Pitts burger, but who has made Denver his home for some years, was in the city yesterday. In the course of a short interview he said: "I used to think Pittsburg a handsome place; but I find it so much improved that I scarcely recognize it Many of the land marks of my boyhood have disappeared, notably those on Fifth avenue aud Smith field street and Fifth and Wood, and in their places I find stately blocks that would be a credit to any oity. I am prouder of my native place than ever." There is food in this for reflection. As a rule citizens do not appreciate Pittsburg at its real worth, and it, is left to outsiders to spread its fame and extol its advantages to the manufacturer, the merchant and the home-seeker. More local pride would be a good thing for the city. Business Xews nnd Gossip. The Third avenue deal, reported yester day, involved 527,000, not S7,000,as printed. Such depreciation in values would be re markable. The Financial Chronicle says of the "West inghouse Electric and Manufacturing Com pany: "As reorganized, the company will be without debt, and will have a cash work ing capital sufficient for all its purposes when conducted on an economical basis,and this basis has been attained by the econo mies which have been enforced by circum stances and by a careful consideration of the future needs of the company." The Norwalk Savings Bank is a new venr ture at Norwalk, O. The capital is ?100,00o! The Edison people expect to occupy the building in course of erection at the corner of "Wood and Diamond streets about Novem ber 15. The Building Inspector has had an easv time this week.

CONSIDERABLE TRADING, "WITH LUS TER FAR IN THE LEAD. Pleasant Valley Lets Go, bnt the Other Tractions Hold Their Ground Tlio "nt nral Gassers Still Occupy Back Scats A Lull In Electric. As usual of late, Interest In stock trading yesterday largely centered In the last call, when 250 of the 285 shares that changed bauds during tho day were marketed. The range was not vory comprehensive, but was somewhat broader than usual. It Included Pittsburg Traction, Chartiers Gas, Birmingham Traction and Luster. In addi tion small lots of Birmingham bonds, Elec tric scrip and Allegheny county riot 4s were disposed of. Luster was the feature of the day. Kunn Broi. weic the principal buyers. It was re IteratoJ that something definite would bo received from the mines in a short time. It finished i better thnu tho opening. Electric was weak. Buyers appear to be awaiting the result of subscriptions to the preferred stock. According to report it is being liberally taken. Switch aud Signal fell back at tho second call, but recovered at the third. With the exception or Fleasant Talloy, which was hammered down a point, the streot railway list was .about steady. Most of them have improved their running time, nnd as a lcsult are carrying more people. This accounts for the bettter position they occupy before the public. Tho natural gassera were still In the back ground, and weak as well. The season is approaching when theircapaclty will be put to tho test, and it is not likely that they will be much of a factor until the result is known. A mere hole in the ground is poor Sales at the first call wore 25 shares of Pittslmrz Traction at 42, 5 Chartiers Gas at 5, $6,000 Birmingham Traction bonds at 91, and 5 shares of stock of the same company at 17". There were no sales at the second call. At tho third, $3,000 Allegheny county riot 4's went at par and interest, 100 Luster at 12J, 150 at 12j and $500 Electric scrip at 70.

MISSOURI PACIFIC LEADS IN A MOD ERATE ADVANCE. The Force of the Bear Movement Not En tirely Destroyed Russian Loan News Has a Favorable EfTcct on the Market Railroad Uonds Quiet. New YoBK,-Oct. 15. Thoassurance that the Russian loan will be taken in full cieatcd a favorable impression upon tho financial market of Europe, and led to a much better feeling upon all classes of, securities in Lon don, with the effect of higher prices at that center and an unusual number of buying orders in this market for foreign operators. The boar clement at the Stock Exchange, however, has not as yet changed its position on the market and the traders follow still closely in their footsteps, although some of tho latter went over to ino 0111131110 10-aay. Bevond the resumption of the publication of its earnings by the 3Iissouri Pacifio thoro was nothing in the news of tho day to have any particular effect upon the course of price to day; but there was good buying, and this induced many of the traders to call in tbeir shorts and iret over on tho other side. This movement gave great streneth to Missouri Pacific, and it was again the leader of the market, but in the upward di rection instead of a decline. Beside Missouri Faclflo marked strength was shown in Louisville and Nashville, which was bought largely for foreign account, but tho rest of the list failed to make any marked move ment at any time of the day. The opening figures showed advances over those ot last evening, extending to per cent, and the force of tho demand sent the whole list up small fractions further in the early dealings. The full bear contingent sold stocks freely on the rally, however, and most of tho list was again brought down to and oven below tho opening prices. Dull ness followed the accomplishment of this result, and while prices crawled upward no feature marked tho tiading until well into the afternoon. The buying by brokers iden tified with the Gould party then became very marked, and many of the shorts went Into cover with the effect of advancing prices materially all along the line, while inci easimr largely the volume of business. There was again considerable short selling on the top of the rise in the last hour, and some slight recession from the best figures was made, but tho market closed quiot and steady to firm at or near the highest prices or the day. Tho final changes are almost invariably advances of fractional amounts, but Louisville and Nashville rose 1 and Missouri Pacific 1. Railroad bonds were still quiet with a steady to firm tone, and displayed few feat ures or interest durinrr the day. The Rich mond and Vest Point Trust 53 made a spurt late in the day, but with this exception and the comparative activity in Atchison in comes there w 01 e no features. Total sales, 11,000.

Monetary movements and conditions yes terday were about the same as previously reported. There was a moderate demand for loans, discounting was fair and routine business active. The supply was more than sufficient to go round. Sates wore steady at fi7 per cent. Bank clearings were $2,165, 415 09 and balances 407,220 32. The lull in gold imports this week is ex plained by tho falling off for the time being in the offerings of commercial bills against grain shipments, duo to tho congestion of all tho facilities at European ports for re ceiving and handling grain. The desire of French financiers to obviate any disturb ance of the Paris money market through gold shipments, while the success of the Russian loan is in question, also has an in fluence in the same connection. At New York yesterday money on call was easy, ranging lrom 3 to 4 per cent.; last loan, 3; olosed offered at 3f; prime mercantile paper, 5J7J sterling exohange quiet and firmer at $183 for 60-aay bills and $4 Szi lor demand.

Its growth has been not only rapid, but continuous, and has fully keptpace with, tho remarkable development of the eleotri-' cal Industry.

' The company will continue to have tha benefit of the mechanical and engineering 1 ability of its founder, Jlr. Westinghouse. We have made an estimate of the assets of the combined companies, and our examina tion has led us to believe that, after making liberal deductions for all foreseen contin gencies, the assets of the reorganized com-' pany will furnish ample security for the total issue of preferred stock, without tak ing into consideration the value of tha patents at all, and that the working capital will be fully sufficient to conduct the busi ness on an economical basis, the saving in the interest account alone being sufficient to pay full dividends on this Issue.
