Raw inox xsn Steel Kusiuess tincc
our last shows no signs of improvement so
far as relates to prices or demand. "'c
Imre seldom noticed Mich a demoralized
rer.i.;:cn among iron men generally. They
lavs vnitcd patiently so long for the tjood
time promised tha" they are now indifferent
tbout the matter.
As regards prices of raw- material, Fitts
bnrg juices r.re relatively lower than anr
other market in the counts v. At the same
lime for uealcrs imagine that this is any
thing mure than a temporary reaction, al
though St must be conceded that it will re
quire a heavy demand to give prices an up
ward turn.
I:'urnarein?ii Down to Red Hock.
The output is so large and there are so
rsaay on the lookout lor imsmess mat it
seems almost hopeless to attempt anything
more than to keep machinery moving with
oot making further concessions in prices.
From all wc can learn, fiimaceiiicn in this
vicinity are not inclined to go loner: in
tact some of them have withdrawn from the
market, refusing to accept even jircsent
rates for Uessemer and Gray forge. These
jart ies have an abiding faith that prices
will certainly rule higher soon, although
even those who were the most conservative
have been under the necessity of readjust
ing their idtas in regard to dates.
Some parties contend the greater the de
lav the prcsier will be the reaction when it
does come. The requirements of the
country aie not mere matters of specula
tion, tilt o a certain extent thev aiedefi
Eite and certain. Kcports from the Shenan
go and Mahoning allcys note business as
being moderately active. Many furnaces
are employed in filling contracts made dur
ing July " and August. The Southern
Jurnaces are reported tohac disposed of
large blocks of pig iron for Western deliv
ery on the basis of flO at the furnace tor
gray forge. Add to this the freight and it
will make the cost above what the same
description of iron is selling at Pittsburg.

1'nii.tDELriiiA, Oct. 23. Special. Rogers,
Bronn $, Co. say: Tho iron market shows
further signs of improvement, and many
fill naces both North and ;outh are advanc
ing prices 550c per ton for next year's de
livery, lven Pittsburg, which has been the
weakest spot in tho country, now reports a
little firmer feeling. Several sales of steel
have been made at prices ranging from 25

THE KITCHEN HAEKET.
Garden StuffAdvanceil and Ocean Products
Scarce and Firm.
The features of the neeic past have been
the upward movement of garden stuff and
dairy products. Sharp frosts have served to
knock out tomatoes and roasting ears, and
prices arc more than double what they were
a week ago. Among the new things that
have arrived, within the week arel'Iorida
oranges and Malaga lemons. Grapes are
higher and firm. Peaches are virtually a
thing of the past for this season.
Our markets have been overstocked
with potatoes for some days past and
prices have found a loner'level. There
is not likely to be a better
time this year to lay in winter potatoes, as
pricesare lower than they have been for
years. The cost of potatoes is now about
ihi- sjme ner barrel us it w as ner bushel this
time last year. Choice creamery butter lias
renehed such a price that the average con
sumer turns to oleo. Asa result demand lor
genuine butter has diminished in the past
week. As Hallow 'Ken and Thanksgiving
draw near poultry supply is on the increase.
Turkeys abound and demand for the same
is good. Supply of select oysters and fish is
"hoi t of demand. At the flsli stalls trade is

An important sale of acreage in Lower St.
Clair township, near Knoxville, was re
ported in this column a few days ago. Yes
terday brought to light another transaction
of about the same magnitude in the same
locality. Mr. Graham Scott sold about 29
acres for $115,000, this being at the rate of
nearly 51,000 an acre a slightly higher
figure than teccired from any former sale in
that locality.
This ground will be laid out in lots which
will be put on the market next spring.
Almost a Deal.
It was reported yesterday that the Dal
zell property, on tlie northeast corner of
Fourth and Penu avenues, had been sold
through the agency of George Johnston &
Co. for 550,030. 3Jr. Johnston was asked
for information on the subject. He said
the story was premature. The property had
not changed hands. An offer of 533,000 had
been refused. It was held at about 560,000,
a small difference in so large a deal.
Tuis property is well-known to all old
citizfcsns'jaS the homestead of the late James
DalzeiTnr It is a landmark in that part of
the city.The lot is 00x157, and the house
is an old-fashioned brick dwelling. It is
one of the best corners in the city, being on
the main line of travel to the Exposition.
Should the pending deal go through the
house will be razed to make room for an
elegant business structure.
An Interesting Rumor.
Another report yesterday was to the
effect that the Spcer property, on Penn
avenue, near Garrison alley was about to
change ownership.
A Bint to Owners.
It is no secret that the only obstacle to
greater activity in the real estate market
comes from tlie owners. They ask more
than buyers are able or willing to pay. Ot
course, good reason for this is found in the
rapid growth of the city. But there is an-
L other side to the matter. A great deal of
the property that is practically out of the
market on account of high prices is unde
veloped, and its enhancement must neces
sarily be slow. Bare gronnd is of little
value. If sold and built up.it would yield
a handsome income. One acre improved is
worth two in the rough.
Besides, every acre or lot kept out of the
market is a detriment to the city. It pre
vents somebody from building a home or a
business house. If owners would moderate
their views a little they would soon find
customers for all the property they have to
sell.
Business News and Gossip.
The schoolhouse at Edgewood is about
ready for the roof.
Cold weather hns stimulated the demand
for both anthracite and bituminous coal,
and stocks are declining.
Two prominent real estate brokers were
seen yesterday taking observations in
Cherry alley. It is known there is consider
able property there for sale.
The Wheeling Bridge and Terminal Com
pany and the 'Wheeling and Lake Erie
Bailwav Company have come to an agree
ment wnifch takes the Wheeling and Lake
Erie Railway into the city of Wheeling to
a connection with the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.
James W. Drape &Co. report an offer of
590,000 tor a piece of downtown business
property.
A contest is said to have arisen between
the Distillers and Cattle Feeders' Company
and the Kentucky distillers, growing out of
action by the Cattle Feeders' Company.
There is more 6 per cent money in the
market than there was at the beginning of
the month.
At the last call yesterday Electric scrip
was oflered at 70.
Three building permits were issued yes
terday. The only one of importance was for
a brick two-story and mansard dwelling on
Liberty street, Twentieth ward, to cost 53,
000. The other two were for improvements
valued at 5388.

Although there has been no trading of con
sequence in bank stocks for a cdon's nge,
3 ostcrdny for perhaps tho first time they
wero entirely neglected, there being neither
bids nor offers.
Proceedings lacked vim and sales made a
poor shouing. Eleven shares of Allegheny
Valley Railroad stock soldat $3, 40 Duquesno
Traction at $12, and $500 Birmingham Trac
tion bands at $37 all up to and the last an
ndvnnce on the last previously reported
bales.
Of the listed tractions. Pittsbnrg closed
fractionally better than the opening, rieas
nnt. Valley fell off a little, and the rest about
held their ground. Luster had little sup
port and lost n trifle. Switch and Signal was
stronger. Philadelphia Gas improved a
small fraction.
Pipeage and Allegheny Heating weie rele
gated to back seats on reports that neither
f them nas iu a position to pay a dividend
because ot tho recent troubles in the latter
concern. They are allied interests.

Said n hnnk ollicer yesterday: "I think
money is Retting easier. There is not as
much demand from business, quarters as i o
expected. Merchants and manufacturers
manage to gtet along with comparatively lit
tle borrowiiifr. They must be felling largely
for cash or collecting closely. This is better
for thein, but not for ns. However, wo havo
no cause for complaint. Tho year's record,

Tho General Market DnII, bnt Nearly
Everythlns Scores Slight Gains Vails
Have the Hest of the Fight Over St.
Fanl Largest Advance In Beading.
New Yoke, Oct. 23. Tho stock market to
day gave no indication that there was any
more than tho usual pro.'essiornl operations
going on, but tho tone was firm to strong,
and, while tho general market was dull and
featureless, a few of tho leading stocks and a
few specialties were remarkably strong, and
served to redeem the market from ntter
stagnation.
The foreigners were buyers and sellers by
turns, and as the local operators are'now
disposed to follow the lead of tho foreign
ers, who are not able to lead any material
speculation, tho movements in the market,
except in those shares which aro affected by
special causes, are insignificant and dull,
ness marked the dealings.
The principal contest between tho fac
tions to-day was in St. Paul, and the bulls
had rather the better of it, especially dur
ing the forenoon, when tho price was forced
up nearly 1 per cent, the advance being well
held throughout the day despite vig
orous efforts to cause a reaction.
Heading was also one of the most promi-
ent stocks in the torenoon and the buying
was largely for Philadelphia account. An
other stock which made a sudden and
marked advance was Kiclimond and West
Point. The Vandcrbilts to-day, with tho ex
ception of Michigan Central, seomed to have
lost all their late strength, and New York
Central sold down to 113 against 115 at the
highest point of the late lise, and the others
were inclined to droop.
Among the inactive shares Louisville, New
Albany and Chicago lost a large traction,
but Manitoba was speciallv strong. riin
from Illg to 115. The Industrials were quite
neglected and no other feature of iinpoit
ance marked the trading.
The opening was firm and the market con
tinued 10 siiowHirungm tnrougiiout the dav,
although the best prices were generally
leached in tho latter portion of the first
hour. Alter that the fluctuations in the
general list were insignificant, and no de
cided tendency of prices in either direction
was to be noted. Tho market finally cloed
dull, but at fractional gnins for the day in
almost everything, Beading, with K per
cent, showing the largest advance auioii"'
the nctive shares.
Railroad bonds were again quite active
the sales of all issucsieaching$,440,000: with
heavy rinding in Atchison incomes, IUch
mond and West Point 5s, Heading 4s and Kio
Grande Western firsts. The last three bonds
mentioned weie remarkably strong. The
rest of the list, however, were not far be
hind, and while there was not so much
activity tne screngm was equally as great.
Tho highest and closing quotations were:

Country Produce Jobbing Prices
The high prices of creamery butter have
served to lessen demand of late, and, while
receipts are light, markets are slow. When
butter goes above 30c per pound, imitations
are sold more freely "to the multitude.
Dealers in oleo are reaping their harvests
at this time. Supply of poultry is on the
gain, aud demand is fairly active. Ileceipts
of live turkeys to-day were the largest of
the season. Potatoes are quiet and slow,
receipts being still in excess of" demand.
Grapes are in bountiful supply, bat good
stock is firm at outside quotations. Peaches
are close to their end. Florida oranges and
Malaga lemons are now to the front. Price
of lemons has declined within a few days,
owing to cooler weather and more liberal
supplies. Signs of Hallow'een are at hand
in tlie better demand for nuts.

Higher Prices in AH Grains and Provisions
Thongh They AH Ease OlTa Trifle at tho
Close "Wheat Firm Corn Active, Ner
vous and Strong.
CHICAGO Wheat was firm, with higher
prices and fair business. Opening was Jc
higher than yesterday's cl03e, advanced
witli some fluctuations iZip per bushel
more, then declined -Xc, ruled in egnlar and
closed about c higher icr December and lc
hiirher for May than yesterday.
The firmness in the market induced shorts
to cover, the market evidently being a short
one and tho news of snch a character as to
frighten shorts into covering. The prohibi
tion of wheat exports Irom Knssia was again
mentioned to-day as likely to take effect any
day. ' Cables were also stronger and higher,
and there was good buying from some
sonrco, which, in spite of various efforts to
depress prices by liberal selling, pioved Un
successful. It was reported from the Kast
that foreigners were buying freely at the
seaboard, and this, too, helped to advance
prices some, but up to noon only 11 loads
weie reported taken, and this made others
11 little suspicions of the information re
ceived aud caused a leaction from early ad
vances. Corn was more active, quite nervous and
very strong, advancing sharply, and, al
though the advance was not held, tho pros
pect for getting it great amount of contract
corn for the remainder of the year was not
very flattering. There was a general move
ment to cover with but little lor sale, and
the active competition advanced prices
easily. October sold up to55e. November
started at 49Kc and held up to .'0c, eased off
some and at 1 o'clock was at 50Jc. Mav sold
from iiy,c to lijfcs and year up to 4c." Dar
ing tho last lioun corn eased off on tree sell
ing, indications of larger receipts and free
realizing sales. After selling up to 51c, No
vember fell to 50s and at 1 o'clock was 5tXc.
May broke to 42Jic after having sold at 42J$c.
Oats also shotted much stiength and ad
vanced sharply. November opened at 29jc
and sold up 10 SOJe eased offand at 12 o'clock
was 30c. May started at 31Jic and sold to
"-wauu at j.: o ciock was i-Ytp. xne marKec
irrew weak toward the c!oe, November fall
ing to COs and May to 31c. The shorts
covered licely early, and this demand being
out of tho way, weakness ruled.
Hog products started rather easy and im
proved some in sympathy witli the firmness
in the grain pits, and especially on corn, but
then broke off. Theonly trading in January
pork was $11 32$U 35, cold at f 11 37Ji off to
$11 32. then at ill 25 broke to $11 25. Janu
ary lard oldat$U 356 42 and January ribs
at $5 S7KJ C-X. and at 12 o'clock was weak
at under price. Weakness was the rule dur
ing the last hour, owins larirely to the drop
iu the grain pits, and Jnnuary pork fell to
$11 25, and at 11 o'clock wns about $11 32J.
January lard eased off to $8 3S3 37 and
January ribs to $5 87. but improvedn trifle.

P. Guffey Claims (he Business Is Too
Hazerdons to Stand More Burdens.
The proposition of Commissioner Mercer
to tax not only oil lands, but the production
of the fields, does not meet with the ap
proval of oil men, ns was to be expected.
AV. S. Guffey stated the position of the pro
ducers yesterday when he said: "To lay a
tax on the - oil would drive
one ol the largest industries out
of the State. The business is too hazardous
and uncertain. It is all right to tax coal
$."0 an acre, for the owner lenows that it is
there. He sees it cropping out of the hill
sides, and figures out to a nicety what he
can expect. An oil man gets a stake to-day
and loses it to-morrotv. I know lots.of men
notv making money in the McDonald field
who dropped ns high as j.OOO drilling dry
holes in other places. The new field comes as
a Godsend to them and gives them a chance
to retrieve their iortunes. Take the his
tory of oU men. How many of thein have
made miUions and spent every dollar of it
in exploring new territory to continue their
business. People never" stop to take into
arcount this feature of the business.
"Oil men pay plenty of taxes. Tlie farm
er puts up the tax on the land, the oil pro
ducer is taxed for all the machinery used
in drilling a well. "We pay tribute" to the
sountv on our engines, casing, etc
To begin with, the manufactur
er ol these articles has paid
a business tax on them to the county. In
addition we have to stand ior excessive tar
iff duties on nearly everything we buy. It
costs from 4,000 to 5,000 to put down a
well, and the oil man must get back this
money or go under. I say frankly that a
tax on the oil would kill the business. The
Standard, of course, pars a tax 011 the pipe
lines, tanks, etc. I think the oil inau is
taxed to the limit."

dyspeptic one-half the hope that comes irom
the relief which always follows the nsa 6f
Burdock Blood Bitters, and the promise 6f
cure is never broken.
"Having suffered from dvspepsia for two
or three years, I decided to try B. B.. and
after taking one bottle I found myself s
much better I got another bottle, and after
taking that I had no more need of medicine.
"MES. G. C. WHITE, Tabenr, N. Y."
Don't pav for daily bread and then groan,
with dyspepsia when a bottle of B. B. B. will
give you relief. Repeated tests with uniform
success prove that dyspepsia cannot with
stand B.B. B.
"I havo taKen the second bottle of Bur
dock Blood Bitters, and it has c'nred me of
dyspepsia with which I uffered for six
years. "W. W. HAMILTON,
