TRADE REVIEW.
A Better Feeling and a Firm Stand
f ' Against Lower Prices,
HEAVr SALES OF BESSEMER PIG.
Why Manufacturers Expect to Be Swamped
With Railroad Orders.
WHAT IS DOING AT OTHER CENTEES
Office of The Pm-sumo Dispatch, ?
FltlDAY, ov.13. !
E-W Iron axd Steel Trade this -week
has been active, and, all things considered,
there is little cause for complaint That
prices ior most descriptions rule at extreme
low figures is an admitted fact. Prices
hare certainly reached a point at which
makers evidently intend to make a stand.
TLey may posibly continue to make frac
tional concessions for spot cash, or for or
ders to fill out the balance of the year -with,
but beyond that there appears to be a de
termination to get better prices or decrease
production. Under these circumstances we
may expect an irregular market for spot
deliveries, but only a limited business for
1892 unless bujers are prepared to pay
a little more money. The production of
pig iron is continued at an extraordinary
rate and the rolling mills and steel works
are turning out a lartre product: but nriccs
are ver low and current business is very
much like swapping old dollars for new
ones.
The Situation Still Unchanged.
There is not much of anything in the situa
tion to nromise an immediate improvement.
Manufacturers ha e talked about a busy fall
and winter and better prices for products,
but the change has not vet come, nor does it
appear to be at hand. The present year has
been a steady and severe strain upon iron
manufacturers, and some hac had to do
some skillful engineering to pull through
the tight places. The iron trads has been
hampered bv the stringency of the money
market, and the difficulty of securing
Iironipt pavment for goods delivered has
een a troublesome element.
Orders foe new steel rails are coming in
better than for some time, and rail mills
h:e much better prospects for steady run
ning. A well-informed Eastern dealer has
this to S3v: "The steel trade is not gaining
much. There is some inquiry for rail's, but
the indications seem to point to deferred
orders for next year the same as there lias
been for this j ear. As yet there is little
talk about what the roads will -want for next
season. The mills ha e plenty of work in
hand, and there is a general impression that
the demand will become active before pres
ent orders are exhausted. The price is still
firm at 830, f. o b. at mill."
Ijrsp Sales of Bessemer Pi(r.
Bessemer Pig The sa?es for some weeks
past have been very large, manv extending
to the first quarter of next year." Prices, if
not strong, are certainly not as weak as thev
w ere. A point has evidently been reached
at which sellers appear to have drawn aline,
with pretty good indications that thev will
not go beyond it. That point is that they
v ill not accept business for next vear's de
liveries at this vear's prices. It is argued
that if they have to wait until after Xew
Year ior the work they may as well for the
price. especially as there" is no money in
anvthin? at to-da 's quotations.
Tin: Very Latest The Western farm
ers have about ?30,000,000 borrowed and
their farms mortgaged as securitv. They
are paying all or part of their mortgages as
fast as they get the money for their grain.
wi jjoing uacK r-asi ana will be in
vested, and railroads with good securitv
will get most of it. This will give the roads
money to buy new motive power and roll
ing stock and enable them to improve their
tracks to take care of the enormous grain
movement which comes from thelakes when
nav igatioa closes. The prospects are brigii
for one of the worst car famines which this
country has ever seen, and in two months it
is expected that the mills of ths country
cannot fill three-fourths of the orders tha,
will come to them unsolicited. The outlook
for trade is decidedly better.

VEKY QTJIET AT CIKCIUHATL
Most Buyers of Iron Itestrieting Purchases
as Much as Pcssible.
Cincissati, Nov. IT. Special. Rogers,
Brown A Co. sav: The week has been a
quiet one in all Dranclies of the iron trade.
The Boston bank failure, with the accora
pining lun of bear talk, has had the effect
to depress all markets. In addition to this,
roost buveis of Iron wish to restrict pur
c!..isesasinuch as possible until tho annual
stock-taking at the end of the year. It is
not expected, therefore, that there will be
much activity In pig iron until the new year
begins. There has been some increase of
stocks at tho furnaces, owing to the lack of
cars for shipping. This annually recurring
evil in the South Is greater than ever this
.j ear, owing to the run-down condition
of rolling stock or most of the
railroad companies. Nearlv all Southern
furnaces have orders largelv in exoess of
stock on hand, and could qnlcklv clean up
their yards if transportation was provided.
There is also some accumulation of stock in
the Jlihonmg and Shenango Valleys, nnd
furnaces theio are accepting lower prices
foi Bessemer and foundry irons than they
havehcen willing to take for a longtime. A
good deal of complaint is heard that witli
present prices of coke ore and railroad
freights it is very diflicult to figure any
prollt in making pig iron. Several valley
lurnaces have blown out, for one cause or
another, and more will follow it there is not
an early Improvement In the market.
Money markets In the East continue com
rwrntively easy, but are not quite as com
lortahle as beforp the Eastern hank troubles.
Collections in the main continue good. The
comparatively few failures in the iron trade
under the trying circumstances of the year
past are regarded as proof that the trade, as
a whole, is in a strong and healthy condition.
A GOOD BUN AT ST. X0UIS.
Not Many Largo Ordert, bnt an Abund
ance of Small Ones.
St. Louis, Jfov. 13 Special. Rogers,
Brown & Meacliam say: Since the heavy
buying of 30 di j s ago, as was to he expected,
but lew large orders have been placed, but
n good run of orders from carload lots to 100
tons has been reported. Inquiries for steel
rail in the West are improving, and bids for
somo round car orders are being solicited.
If a portion of these inquiries result in busi
ness, it will add confidence and strength to
the market, as this souice is being closely
watched bj- buyers anil sellers. The leading
Southern producers are comfortably sold,
and are not pushing for business. Consump
tion and production are nicelv balanced.and
the mar future seems to hold out consider
able encouragement for tlio sellers. Fuces

UNCHANGED AT BIEMIRGHAM.
Operators Taking Things Quietly Until
Better Prospects Show Up.
Bir.Mi?.GHAJi, Ala., Nov. 13 Special. The
iron market continues unchanged, as do the
conditions surrounding production in this
district. Operators are taking things quietly
and the larger companies seem in no hurry
to restore a furnace when one stops from
temporary causes. The most encouraging
sin of the times is the effort all along the
line to restore enterprises that fell lifeless
when the universal depression began. The
moposed reorganization of the United
States Kolling Stock Company is the most
important of these, hiving large plants at
both Anniston and Decatur and being a
local consumer. The market is quoted t. o.
b, at the furnace here, No. 1 fonndry, $12 SO;
No 2 fonndry, Sll 75, No. 3 foundry, J 11 09;
gray forge, $10 00. These are outside figures.
Coil mining has been seriously interfered
with bv the lack of water during the drouth.
Several mines had to suspend while they
laid pipes to more distant sources of supply.
One.fuinace also suspended temporarily for
the same ciuse. The rains began again on
Monday.
Increasing Dullness at Chicago.
Chicago, Nov. 13. Secta?. Rogers,
Brown & Merwin say: Increasing dullness
characterizes business In this district.
Vhile carload orders are numerous, there Is
but little inquiry for anything in the way of
large lots, consumers being now supplied
for the balance of the year and well toward
the spring oi 1892 Prices on coke metal re
main unchanged, but some of the Southern
companies indicate a disposition to grant
small concessions when necessary tp secure
business Lake Superior charcoal is also ln
activ e and a brisk competition exists when
ever inquirvs are made, even for small lots.
The outlook indicates a small run of busi
ness, onlvduting the balance of the year.
The conditions, however, are all health,
and a decided improvement both in demand
and values mav 'ccu-- any time after the
first of next year.
No Market at Fhiladelphi-.
Philadelpbi k, Nov. 13 Sfreciatl Hogers.
Brown & Co. say: There is no market to re
port. This has been a quiet week, and both
buyers and sellers seem to be In a stato of
lethargy. The situation is not neailv as
had, however, as it was a year ago. Then
fninnccs were willing and anxious to sell
ahead 10 to 12 months. Now such contracts
w onlel not be made by any of the large pro
ducers of pig metal unless a pretty sharp
advance could be realized. In the advance
of sales of anv mom nt, we quote prices

GABZA'S BAND STILL ACTIVE,
They Fight Another Rattle in Mexico, but
Are Badly Whipped.
Laeedo, Tex., Nov. 13. Colonel Car
son, commander of the Mexican garrison in
Nueva Laredo, received a telegram yester
day from Guererro, a Mexican town on the
Kio Grande, 60 miles below Laredo, stating
that a force of Mexican cavalry came in
contact with the army of Cataria Garza at a
point known as Laguua Xegro, 15 miles
back from that pHce, and after a short com
bat has dispersed the revolutionists. A cart
load oi ammunition was taken acioss the
rh er to the revolutionist".
The force of Garza is placed at about 300
men. There were several thousand Mexi
can soldiers scattered along the frontier.
The number of killed and wounded in the
combat is unknown, but the losses are be
lieved to be small.

morrow. Campbell Advertised His Plant"
James Hicks, one of the owners of the
Piqua tin plate plant, registered at the Du
quesne yesterday. This is the concern that
was attacked so bitterly and persistently by
Governor Campbell during the Ohio cam
paign. Mr. Campbell had the product ex
amined, and declared its composition was
chiefly iron coated with leai "While at
Piqua Major McKinley visited the plant,
aud dipped some of the sheets in the tin
bath. Mr. Hicks took Campbell's chaffing
on the stump good-naturedly, and there is
probably not another tin establishment in
the country that has been so well advertised.
Mr. Hicks went to Columbus early in the
aiternoon. He says the tin plate business
has come to stay in" America this time. The
Democratic intention to knock off the tariff
is disturbing some of the makers, but there
is no fear of the next tariff bill becoming a
law.

M'DONIID HOLES ABOUT COMPLETED
There seemed to be little of interest in
the southwest oil fields yesterday, except
the .Eoyal Gas Company's well, on the
Moore farm at Venice, which is about three
miles south from McDonald. Fiction broad
and picturesque could not be more inter
esting than the tales which were tpid
about it. By a slight classification of ihe
knowing ones it was soon found that those
who enlarged upon its production were
heavily interested in the region. By some
of these it was placed at 100 and 125 bar
rels a day. Others, whose property was
further away, were more moderate and
came down to 75 barrels a day, and
then again there were men who
looked owlish, and predicted that it would
jiot be good for in 010 than 50 ban els a day.
It is probably the most important well in
the flold lust now. as imon its irood or noor
qualities depends a large amount of drill
ing and possibly tho development of much
good temtorv. The same company's big
gasser on tho Patterson farm is only in the
.'0 loot sand nnd has never been dulled
down. It is about half a mile southwest
of the Moore well.
Searching for the Facts.
To get at the truth In regard to the well,
Tnx Dispatch scout called upon vT. P. and
A. H. Logan, of the Royal Gas Company, at
the Monongahela House last evening. The
latter had just returned from the well, and
stated that it might do 30 or 40 ba rrels a day,
bnt no more. It nas v cry little gas, ho said,
and from the present indications it will not
increase The oil-is sprdyed out with salt
water. No tankage hs yet been erected,
and no actnal gaucre of it can be obtained.
They do not know esaotlv whether it is in
the fourth sand, as it has never been
measured up with a steel line. They believe,
however, that it is in the fourth sand.
Guckert & Learn ars down about 450
feet on the Reed farm, nearly a
mile east of south from the Moore.
E. C. Beardsley, the geologist and opera
tor, drilled a well on the Cowden farm,
about a mile southwest of tho Moore, a
coupio of years ago in partnership with
Colonel Bobbins. They found considerable
oil In the Gordon and a strong pressure of
gas m tho fourth and fifth sands. The oil
was packed off and it was sold to the Royal
Gas Company for the gas. In this well they
found 20 feet of good fourth sand, but no oil.
Pockets In the Sand.
Quito a surprise was spiung on the oil
crowd last night when Greenlee & Forst's
No. 1 on the Gamble farm, back of Oakdale,
was repoited in and doing 50 barrels an
hour. It had been put down generally as a
dry hole on account of its location. Tlio
Woodland Oil Company's No. 1 on the
McMurray camo in yesterday, but will
not make moro than a 20-barrels-a-day
well. It is only a short distance noitheast
of the Gamble well.
Several wells reached interesting points
in the boi ough of McDonald yesterday. Wolfe
& Co.'swcll on the Wilson lot. which is mak
ing 200 barrels from tho Gordon, struck
tho shell of the fifth jesteiday
afternoon. About the same time
Betman & Watson's well on the Thomas lot,
struck the Gordon and was showing up well.
The Banner Oil Company has a ng up on the
Morgan Elliott farm, also two on the Reel
estate at McCurdy. Thev will rig up Mon
day. The Devonian Oil Company's No. 2
Elliott is completed and making CO barrels
an hour. Their No. 1 Bovce, in southwest
McCurdy, and their No. 4 Fayall, at McDon
ald, should reach the fifth s.md Tuesday.
The Jamison Oil Company is shut down be
tween the Gordon nnd fifth sands on account
of a shortage In tlio water supply. Davis S
Brown will set the Gordon in their No. 1 on
tho buck jard lot by Tuesday.
Will Be Drilled In To-Day.
Patterson & James were on top of the fifth
sand last night in their No. 3 011 the Kelso
farm, and in the same locality Mellon 4 Co.
will drill their Nos. 2 and 3 Nce'ey
to-da. The Bear Creek Refining Com
pany's well on tho Stevenson lot at
Oakdale, is through the Gordon and dry.
Their No. 1 Campbell Is in the Gordon and
making 25 birrels a day. Guftey & Queen
have commenced a rig on the Jarvis farm, a
fourth of a milo southeast of Oakdale.
Theie are no signs of oil at the well of Hill
& Co. on the Oakridge Coal Company's
property.

Mexico Not an Unstable Republic.
S. R. Byers, an Arizona cattle dealer,
was in the city for a short time yesterday
on his way home from Xcw York. He says
Mexico is no longer one of the unstable re
publics. President Diaz has put the Gov
ernment on a firm basis. The system of
mounted police is working well and proving
a terror to evildoers. The army is large
and sufficient to repel invasions. Railroad
builtfing is progressing, and the Mexican
youths are anxious to learn English. The
reciprocity treaty has already boomed trade
between the two countries.

CRITICISMS.
Nos. 107 and 1C3 have been unfavorably
criticised, and justly so. No. 109, "One o"f
the finest two-moveis extant." Wnrzburg.
"An artistic pioduction with a supei ior key
move. Black gets tlnoo extra squaies
to meet his death on." Tracy. "Exception
ally difficult and well polished." Catlin.
"A puzzler." Tllley. "The only good
two-ei in the issne. There arc sevoral
irood tries and tlio mates aro good."
Keeney. "Very tine. Key move
not apparent." Johns. "One of the kind
which lascinites the solver." Jacobs.
110. "To one who has puzzled over a simi
lar position by Henley this problem offers
tow attractions and is not difficult." Tracy.
"All very neat, but I. M. Brown's problem,
publishedin June No. ofJBrownson's Journal
is so much like it in idea (aud more vanety)
tint Jacob's is not original. Wuizburg. 111.
"One of the finest arrangements of the force

CHECKER ITEMS OF INTEREST.
"Several years ago a New York publishing
firm Issued a work which they represented
as a revised edition of "Anderson's Second,"
coirected to the date of its issue. A compari
son with "McCullough's Anderson," then
ten years behind the times, proved it to bo
only a copy of this work.
"Hardly had John Robertson been laid In
the ground than his great life work, "Rob
ertson's Guide," which he had completed
with his failing strength and eyesight, was
reproduced entire by this same firm of book
vultures.
"Now for the third time thev have tres
passed upon the lights of draughts authors
rights which we regiet to say are not pro
tected by international laws and another
most worthy author is robbed of a large por
tion of the fruit of his labor. This time the
blow falls on Frank Dunne, whose admirable
work, "Dunne's Guide and Companion," re
cently published, is reproduced almost en
tire by the New York firm, some oftho liter
ary portion of the work only being elim
inated. "The large amount of labor performed by
Mr. Dunne for the instruction and amuse
ment of checker players has been done in
the few moments ho could spare from the
long hours of labor at his trade as a shoe
maker, and the few extra pounds earned In
tins way has not come amiss in the support
of n larve family.
"The New York issues of tho three works
mentioned are greatly inferior to tho
original editions, both in typography and
press work, and if checker players could
nave Hits iJLiviiet;e ui cuuipari-uu nu huuuiu
not fear that the interests of onr foreign
bi others would suffer to any great extent,
inasmuch as the original works may be pro
cured of almost any checker editor in this
country at the same or a lower price than
the printed edition."
The above on piracy Is very much to the
point; but conid we get them to reissue the
works by R. E. Bowen In a cheap lorm we
think it would be a blessing to checker
plavers. Could wo got Bowen's Cross,
Bowen's Bristol and other works, snch as
Lyman's Problem Book at a reasonable
Srice a great many of ns would be thankful;
nt the copyright law of this country keeps
the rogues in order.
Barker's good sense in not claiming the
world s championship title makes those ed
itors now feci small, who were on every oc
casion anxious to work It in, and in our
judgment the match game book whore Mr.
Dcnvir uses it very Ireely, Is in very bad
taste. Of comse, those who havo copies of
it to sell have not the courage to say so.

"I deem it my duty to say that I think Dr.
Greene's Nervura the best medicine in the
world. My kidneys wero in a terrible state.
I had awful pains in tho back and side, and
could not sleep at night. My headache was
a source of great annoyanco and I suffered
much at certain periods. I cannot speak
too highly of Dr. Greene'e Nervura, for if
curedme of my terrible complaints. Why, I felt
so miserable that I often thought that I
would take my own life I thank God for
directing me to Dr. Greene's Nervura.
