STEEL KAIL TRADE Promises Better Things Than for a Number of Years Task IMMENSE UUTPDT AT BEADDOCK. ATrojected American College for Educating the Tanners. STATISTICS OF THE COFFEE MARKET Office of The DisrATcn, riTreBCEG. Tuesday. January 19. At the Edgar Thomson "Works tlie largest yield oi steel rail' for any one day of last year was 1,900 tons. The price of rails is about SI 50 per ton greater than a year ago. Improved machinery has been added to the plant in the pat year which has reduced the running expenses about ?200 per day. All the nine furnaces are in full blast, with the exception of furnf.es A, which has been rebuilt and will be ready to start in the next 10 days. Orders are now on the books sufficient to take the entire vieldofthe works lor sev eral months to come. AVith the improved Machinery, and all the fnrnaccs pushed to their utmost capacity, there is now no doubt that the steel rail product of the Edgar Thomson for the year 1892 will far exceed that of last or anv previous year. It is expected that the daily output ofrails will be over 1,500 tons tor the year ahead, and there will be no difficulty in placing the entire yield at the advance of Si 50 per ton on last winter's prices. IMucition for Tanners. All American school for the education of tanners is likely to take shape in the near future. At the head of tiie movement is R. G. Salomon, of Xew ark, N. J. That the movement is Icasiblc is evident from the mccetsof a similar institution in England, concerning which a I.ito issue of the London Moo! and .Viw Trades Journal ha' this to say: The progie-s made, unci the future pros pect of the leather industries department of tee YciildhlreCollage. which, through the nslianceof the SUinncrs' Comriaiiv of the rity ot London, and the Leeds "Leather Trades Asfociatinn was only started at the beirinuiiig of the present term, arc such that the councilor the college are already setting about preparing for its extension. The course, which extends over :t period of three years is suitable for all who intend to become technical chemists in tboleatherin- outry. or managers or important worloand 5s provided for th- sons o: tinners or those who are interested in the industry, and can nftord the time for thorough education.

It will be seen by reference to tho market columns that high-grade New Orleans mo lasses is steadily advancing to a higher level. Froni sources of supply comes the report of greatly diminished supplies as compared with last season. The amount of open ket tle uiolases is slight; as compared with last year it is not more than one-half. Along with the l'ght supply stands the fact that prices were 2c per Dillon higher nyear ago than now. IIn!de-s are very Arm in their views of values, and tlieio is a general ex pectation amom dealers that markets will soon find a higher level. The Visible Supply cT Coffee. Following are some facts of interest as to the situation and outlook of the coffee trade as given by the Boston Herald: "The daily Rio cable :ives the market steady, withreceip'sof 12,000 bags at Rionnd 1S.O"0 bars at Santos. Tue total stock is 230.itO b.ics; same time last ye.ir, 10.000 bg. The weekly Rio cable quotes rue mar ket strong, with exchange- at 12d. The daily average or receipts for, the week was 15..WI bags.

Notwithstanding free receipts for the year, the demand has kept the stocks down to almost nothing." DOGS OF WAR ARE BULLS. Disquieting Rumors or the Chilean Situ ation Cause a Unite In Wheat Near the Close Corn Dull, but Sympathetic Oats Unchanged Provisions Higher. CHICAGO To-day for the first time the relations betwren Chile and the United State had an appreciable effect on tho price of wheat In this market. It was near the close'of the session, and the result was the rice, which had been 1c below the closing price yesterday, jnmped to a point 1c above that figure and c'oed strong. The market was rather quiet during most of the fresin. Nearly everything in the way of news was unfavorable to holders, and the offerings were free with onlv a lim ited demand. Cable reported a decline abroad and domestic maikets were nearly all heavy and lower. The generou snow fall in the Southwest had allayed all appre hension growing out of tho cold weather, and the amount on passage Miotedan in crease durlnir the week of 2,523 000 bushels.

AN INTERESTING BT0KT RUN DOWN There will be many business changes next spring. Several that are in contemplation have been noted. The occupants of the basement of the Oil Exchange have leased the building on the upper side of the Free hold Bank for a term of years at an annual rental, it is reported, of 4,500. James P. Quinn has leased- his property, No. 163 Fifth avenue, for 52,600 a year, an advance of about 23 per cent over the former rate. It is said that two or three Liberty street firms are contemplating removal to "Water street Activity m Itnllding. Morris & Aisbitt are about closing a con tract for six moderate-priced dwellings on Juliet and Frazicr streets, Oakland. "Weather permitting, ground will be broken the latter part of this month. Mr. Morris, of this firm, will next spring erect two handsome dwellings on ground just pur chased by him on Juliet street. A promi nent Allegheny merchant is figuring on a block ofsixin'the same district The East End is literally full of building schemes. One of the most important for years is al most ready for announcement. A StoVy Eun Down. It has been.reported, and generally cred ited, that the strip of .Schenley ground on Fifth avenue, extending from Casey's row to the school house,"which has been fenced off from the farm in 'the rear, has been leased for a long term of years and will be improved by a row of 20 or 30 houses. In quiry was made yesterday of "W. A. Herron & Sons as to the truth of the story. They said there was nothing in it. The Fifth avenue front had been fenced off so as to give a depth to enable the assessors to fix a fair valuation. That was all there was of it They added that none of the Schenley prop erty in that locality was for sale or lease. Movements Around the FatIc There is a good inquiry for acreage in the Twenty-second and Twenty-third wards, in the vicinity of Schenley Park. Ira M. Burchfield reports deals on foot aggregating between $75,000 and 5100,000. The proba ble purchasers are local capitalists who thus show their confidence in the future of that district. "Values are stiff Acres are held at from $2,000 to 56,000 according to loca tion. Some property near the park is con sidered worth the outside figure. A num ber of fine houses will be erected there next spring and summer. War Talk and Stocks. "Woerishoffer & Co., recognized authori ties in the speculative world, say: "The bears are trying to make some capital out of a possible war with Chile. It is well to bear in mind that there are two sides to the question should war ensue. It would not be like a conflict with one of the Euronean powers where our securities are held and the sale of which would become inevitable Chile, of course, holds none of our securi ties. A war with her would involve the transportation of immense quantities of provisions and munitions of war to the Pa cific coast, affecting all transcontinental lines, and could in no way unfavorably af fect our internal or European commerce. It might prove a bull point on stocks, as it certainly would on grains and hog prod ucts." Business News and Gossip. Bad weather has stopped work on tho Greenfield avenue branch of the Second Ave nue Passenger Hallway. It will take $25,000 to repair damages to the Calvary Church property and make other contemplated improvements, and of this amount $19,0C0 has been secured.

Philadelphia Gas Falls to Sustain Its Posi tion Switch nnd Mgnal Also Ketires The Tractions About Uold Their Ground 'A. Few Mrong Features. Business on 'Change yesterday was light as compared with pievious dayfi. Proceed ings were liberally interspersed with war talk. Ilea Bros. & Co. were wired that the President's Chilean message would be sent to Congress to-day. This was the cause of a weaker tone in New York. It had a conser vative effect here. Philadelphia Gas lost more of its recent acquisition of strength. This wax due, it was said, to the fact that Eastern orders bad been pretty well filled, nnd there was no home demand to fall back on. Switch and Signal receded attraction from the highest point, but was not notably weak. A material decline is improbable belore tho issue of the torthcoining statement and perhaps not then.

SpecUL Two or three dozen waiters and bartenders, dele gates from as many associations, met at 132 "West Twenty-seventh street yesterday to re organize the National Union. 'They say their condition is getting so bad that they absolutely must unite. Foreign waiters are flocking over here in overwhelming numbers, and hoars are lengthening and wages falling. "Then, again," said a waiter, "restaurant keepers are demanding that we must shave off our mustaches and beards. Now, that won't go. But we can have no redress un til we unite.

The waiters organ ized at to-day's session. Their convention will last several davs. WHEBE IH PEIHCE WAS P0PULAB. A Sonth African Editor Mobbed for Criti cizing the Dead Duke. London, Jan. 19.
