"fr- 4 W4 KA IRON TRADE REVIEW. Keen Competition Anions: Three Great Sections the Past Week. THIS IS A TIME OP UNCERTAINTY. Better Business Expecjed When LaW Dis putes ire Settled. REPORTS FROM ALL LEADLNG CENTERS Office of The Dispatch. Pittsburg. Friday, July 8. ( Raw Iron and Steel Business since our last has been very mucli restricted, sales being confined to limited amounts. Makers, generally, are handling business contracted some time ago, hence there is very little new business going on. The uncertainty as to what is ahead has the efiect of stopping activity in most branches of the iron business. In spite of the slight encouragement that comes from decreasing stocks, the pig iron market is still rnled by a competitive spirit and pushes the better day still further into the future. Eastern producers are reported to be in a temper to give their Southern competitors a further sample of Northern cut prices, the Lehigh district leading in this move as it did in the early spring, -when Southern ag gressions became too pronounced. The effect of cuts already made in tlie East, to gether -with the low prices at which Virginia Irons are being offered, has made competi tion In the West from Southern furnaces especially keen. A leading Eastern dealer has this to say: IT hat an Eastern Man Says. "Buyers of crude material are not placing orders for any quantity in excess of immedi ate wants, awaiting the outcome of the next few weeks in anticipation that a decreased consumption during the coming two months may result in close competition among the furnaces and a piobauihty of better terms bem- obtained. Trices are now so low that it is difficult to see where Eastern producers can make further concessions In view of present cost of production, except In the matter of extending delivenes turtljer into the future. When buyers insist on their favorite brands, full figures must bo paid; but there is no difficulty in obtaining good grades of iron at terms a little more favor eb'e than was the case some weeks back." The labor question continue to depress tue iron and steel market, until tnit matter satisfactorily arranged business will be ..-lSnod to actual wants. Ilrae and again since the first of the year bnve consumers been led to believe that at let bottom figures were touched, and, vlnleat the present time values are lower t.ian ever beiore, a feeling of distrust is ap tiaient; consequently offers are at very low figures, w hile they are lor arge quantities 01 steel slabs and billets. But little new business is coming to light. Consumers are verv well supplied for the present, and the difference of opinion as to values which exists between buyers and sellers precludes the possibility of business lor later deli erics. Prices of Thomas Company's Iron. The announcement has been officially made that July and August delivci ies of the Thomas Iron Company's pig iron will be billed at $15 lor No. 1 foundry and $14 for No. 2 lounary at tidewatei. This is in ac cordance with prewous intimation", and may be accepted as unmistakable evidence that, iu the laco of the curtailment of pro duction in se oral districts, competition is unconifoitablj keen and supplies consider ably in excessof consumptive requnemeuts. In otliPi w ord", the reduction reflects an un mistakably weak market. The latest business, all things considered, shows up fanly well, prices for most de scription being maintained. Bessemer, $H O0lt 25, according to time of delivery: gray loige, $12 75 Muck bar quiet and un changed. Steel slabs and billets were in fair demand, prices without change. Spelter yts m tam demand.

A DULL TONE AT CINCINNATI. Fourth of July mtrt the Homestead Troubles Knock Ont Business. CruciMfATi, July S. Special Rogers. Brown & Co. say: The intervention of the Fourth of July holiday and the labor troubles at Pittsburg and elsewhere have given the iron market a dull tone for the past week. The largest of these liaebeen in Bessemer pig, Luke Superior chaicoal lion and Soutvrn coke iions. It-is a signifi cant lact that the question of whether now is a good time to place li on contracts has been under discussion in the directory of a good many companies. The fee.in;; is tnat we must certainly have got about to the bottom. Against this however, is the fact that demand is light and the market is with out spit it. There is nothing in immediate sight that would point to any increase in rrice. The arguments and condition are all right, but it does not move. Ihe weather since last report has boen more favorable for crops. Rains In the West have cjaeed. Corn, oats and wheat are doing w ell. Where wheat has been harvested the results are fnllv up to expectations. Induc tions are that "tho railroads will have an other gieat ci op to carry- This Is sustaining the puce ol securities against the depress ing effect of the withdrawal of American gold and otbei securities as the natural consequence of renewed silver agitation. The leeling of disgust with Congiess over recent proceedings on this question is gen eral in the bust'iess community, without reference to party. It expieslons of all classes of business men, oven into the Far West, mean anything, the politicians are grossly mistaken in supposing that the people demand free coinage or fui ther sil ver expansion. LITTLE DOING AT CHICAGO. The Holiday Made the Week Even II ore Than Usually Dull. Chicago, July8. 6eciaf. Rogers, Brown & Mervrln say: "The week, which has been broken up by a holiday, has shown a smaller volume of business closed that the preced ing one. A fair run of inquiries still con tinues, these being divided between large consumers who have not yet covered their season's requirements and who are ready to buy for six to tu elve months ahead when prices suit their views, and the other class of buyers who simply purchase from hand to mouth. Ruling prices remain practically unchanged, though here and there weik sellers have been found willing to make large concessions in order to secure lound orders lor quick delivery. The consumption of lion in all departments continues heavy, and is in excess of that of a year ago, but furn ace production is so lame that consumption gives no prospect of an early improvement In pi ice. Interest continues to center in Lake Su perior chat coals. The leading furnaces ate maintaining their position and show no signs of weaknes. One or two outsid e com panies are offering to take business at cuts of 25c to 50c below the basis held bv standaid companies, but other manufacture! 8 realize that the bottom has been reached on this c!as ot metals, and the existing conditions all warrant maintaining the present basis as a minimum. Numerous safes in lotsfiom 100 to 500 tons have been made, but the large consumers are m most cases holding off. The Metal Markets. New Tork, July 8. Pig iron quiet; Ameri can, $14 0016 00.

WORK ON CALIFORNIA 'AVENDE. flectyc Cars Expected to Reach Belleyue bj the End of the Tear. MANY IMPROVEMENTS AT BRDSHTON Brnshton is enjoying quite a boom in the building line, due mainly to the prospect of rapid traitsit inside of a year. James Doran has about completed arrangements for ten dwellings in the neighborhood of the school house. J. B. Steenson will soon start the finest house iu the place on the corn er of Kelly and Harriet streets. JIassena Bros, are figuring on the material. J. C. Dick will probably put up a business house nearby. There is considerable vacant ground along the hillside, which rumor says will be bought up and improved. A lTt:re8sive Quarter. Bidgeview, in the Eleventh ward, Alle gheny, on California avenue, is improving faster perhaps than any other quarter on the Northside. It has been on the market but a short time. Eight houses have been finished and about the same number are un der way. They are all of a high class, cost ing from $6,000 to 10,000. Among those now building are Mrs. C. Steffen, B. Dono van, brick contractor; C. Bose, of Eose & Fisher; L T. Faulder, furniture dealer; Mr. McKean, brother of Postmaster McKean, and Dr. J. H. Wright. A Northside Artery. "Work on California avenue, the great thoroughfare to connect Allegheny City with the western suburbs, is making sub stantial progress, much to the gratification ot people in that locality. It has been graded as far as the city line and paved to Woodland avenue. The Pleasant Valley Railway bridge across Jack's Bun will be completed bv November 1. Double tracks have been la'id to that point. The bridge completed, work on the lower end of the avenue will be pushed forward as vigor ously as possible. It is expected that cars will be running to Believue by the end of the year. The completion of this avenue will open up a large amount of as fine resi dence property as there is in the county. An r ctivn District. As showing a good demand for lots on California avenue, A. Z. Byers & Co. have sold 12 in the Grande Pointe plan within the last ten days and have a good prospect of selling a number of others These lots, which are 50x140, are to be improved with substantial dwellings costing not less than 56,000 each. Mr. Bj ers remarked: "Busi ness is fair with us. There is.of course.noth ing like a boom, but the inquiry is good.and the prospect bright tor a good tail traac. Idle money, of which the country is lull, must soon seek investment, and real estate will get a large share of it. " Special Features of Trade. The labor troubles at Homestead have placed real estate in the background. Sev eral promising deals have been bioken off. That local corporations occupy a strong position is shown by the promptness w ith which dividends aie announced. There have been no defaults In the regular list of pavers. skivlngton & Pedder have opened hand some offices at No. 166 Fourth avenue for the transaction of a general 1 eal estate business, for which they are well equipped by ac quaintance and experience.

DULL UNTIL AUTUMN W1XI. PROBABLY BE THE CONDITION OF THE SHARE MARKET. An Improvement Than Confidently Ex pectedThe Louisville and Nashville Dividend, Though Red need. Is an Agree able Surprise Grangers Lead In Activ ity Bonds Qaiat, New York, July 8 The dealings in a few Stocks savl the trading fiom utter stagna tion and gave what tone there was seen dur ing the day. Talks with many prpmlnent men on the street fall to reveal any deep seated confidence that there will be any material change in tne conditions until the summer is well spent; but there is no lack of hope that beroie fall a larger and wider, as well as higher, market will be developed. The leading feature to-day was Louisville and Nashville, of which there was apparent sellln" for some time on the part of the foreigneis in tearof areduction orpassing of the dividend. The declaration of 2 per cent, though a reduction of per cent from that of the last hair year, was in many quarteia an agreeable surprise, as predic tions or nothing were freely put ont for some time. The pressure was met by ade quate support, and ' on the dividend frac tional gains were made, which, however, were afterward lost. The Grangers were still leaders In activ ity. Apart from the dealings in Louisville there was no feature in the market, except a decline of 1 per cent in Sugar on light trading, all of which was recovered. There was a continuance of the rise In National Linseed, and lenewed activity and strength in the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantio stocks. The market finally closed strong at the best prices, despite a diopor about 1 per cent in Chicago Gas. All leading shares show large ftactional gains ovet last night's prices! and Louisville and Nashville Is up 1. The transactions of the day were only 146.850 listed and 9,423 unlisted. The total sales of stocks to-day were 156,273 shares, including Atchison, 5,862: Chicago Gas, 12,750; Louisville and Nashville, 2,235; Mlssouii Pacific, 2,825; Northern Pacific pre ferred, 2,405: Rending. 17850: Richmond and Western, 6,390; St. Paul, 18,740: Union Pacific, 8,SoO Railroad bonds were still quiet in the main, but the speculative Issues, especially those of the Reading and Richmond and West Point, were again laigely traded in, and out of a total business of $1,383,000 Reading sec onds contributed $223,000 ivnd the thirds $167, 000.

It says: "Tho money market remains void of teatut e, and theie is as little prospect as ever of any eaiiy change in its condition. Gold con tinued to be shipped to this side from the United Spates, and that, of course, tends to make the ease which prevails at the chief European centers iore pionounceo.

Home Grown Berries at the Best, and Ponltry a Shade Lower. At the Diamond maiket frnlt and vegeta ble stal's trade lor the week is reported good. Home grown raspberries have reached their best, and now is the time for canning, as prices will not likely be any lower this season. Blackberries and melons are now better In quality than they were a- week ago. Vegetables of all kinds are a shade lower than last Saturday. Tomatoes are very much reduced In price. With the decline In prices quality of vegetables offered shows steady improvement. Tennessee potatoes are now to tbe front in liberal sup ply at $2 50 per barrel. Home grown potatoes are behind their average time this season owing to tbe backward spring. By another week they will be to the front. Poultry Is in better supplv than it was a week ago, and prices have declined. Butter and eggs are practically unchanged so far as retail mar kets are concerned.

Interesting Exercises of the Seventh TJ. P. Church in Allegheny, The corner-stone for the proposed new Seventh IT. P. Church, Allegheny, was laid last evening with interesting ceremony. The site is located on California avenue near the Superior street bridge. The grounds were brilliantly lighted, and the novel service of laying a cornerstone at night was witnessed. A large number of persons were present, including almost the entire congregation. The pastor, Rev. G. W. McDonald, opened with prayer, and the exercises were then conducted by Eev. Dr. J. "W. Witherspoon, assisted by several other clergymen. Kev. Dr. Robin son was expected to attend, but he was not able to do so. In the stone were placed some coins, papers and the hymn and prayer books of the TJ. P. Church. The church when completed will be a fine one. It is situated on a pretty lot, and will be constructed from white stone and pressed brick. The building will be of Gothic ar chitecture, two stories high and have a pastor's study and class room. The cost is estimated at $15,000, nearly all of which has been guaranteed by pledges. The congregation was organized about 12 years ago by the present pastor, who was then a divinity student. He conducted mission services on Beaver avenue, and in a few years gathered such a congregation and aroused snch enthusiasm that they built a iiame chapel on Strawberry lane. KILLED BY A BLOW. A Colored l.'aby Fatally Bart and Aban doned on the Street. A colored child about 4 days old was found Wednesday morning at the corner of Eebecca and Grant avenues, Allegheny, by a man going to work. The child had been comfortably dressed by some one, but not left without injury. The infant was taken in charge by Mrs. Paine, at No. 9 "Webster street, Allegheny. Mrs. Paine, believing the child sick, called Dr. G. A. Mueller to see it, who pronounced it very ill, and it died a short time after. Dr. Mueller, upon examination, found that the child had been injured by a stroke on the head. Coroner McDowell held a partial inquest yesterday, when it was determined that the. child's death resulted irom concussion of the brain from a blow. The inquest is continued in the hope of finding the murderer. TO EXPEL SCROFULA from the system, take AVER'S Sarsaparilla the standard blood-purifier and tonic. It Cures Others will cure you.
