O its and pork did the capering on 'Change to-day. Sibley's sales ot oats were enormous, and at one time caused a tumble of c Wright bid January poik up 7c 11 neat was stubborn as a luule. It closed strong at c advance after recovering a decline. TVitli COO cars In sight corn was less steady and shows a net loss of Jc from labt night. With some advance abroad and the Cin cinnati Price Ctarejif estimating the crop at 500,000,000 bushels and Hie supply on October 1, Including old heat left over, at 396.000,000 bushels against 496.090,000 bushels a year ago, the crowd was inclined to legard the show ing as decidedly bullish at the start, and there was sood buying for a time, but tho firmness led to lree realizing by longs, who were disposed to take profits and tho strength soon disappeared. Another weak factor was the liberal rainc which wero reported in the Northwest and Southwest, nub. a prospect that they nonld extend over the entire winter wheat belt. Tboro was not much activity or breadth to tho trade, the professionals doing most of tho business. Firmness in foicign markets, ad vicei Irora this State that not over one-balf of the usual area of winter wheat had yet been seeded owing to tho dry weather, and the chartering or room lor the shipment of 350,000 btftielsof wheat, were the influences in the wheat pit as the session was coming to an end. O'rn 1 eceipts were heavy, being 120 cars abov the estimate, with the prospect 01 a steady increase, and thero was lree selling both by discouraged holders and Tor short account, with little demand except to cover shorts and secure profits. In oats there was a larger volume of busi ness than for a long time past and an irregu lar range of prices. Hog products were generally stronger. The receipts of Ho hogs were about 9,000 less than expected and there was not much urgency in selling product, with Wright a good buyer of January pork. Outside fig ure were not maintained, however, the weakness in corn and hogs having little effect during tlie latter p.irt of the session. The packing of tlie West lor the week ex hibited a decrease of 15,(00 hogs the first reduction reported for some months. i There was a fair demand lor vessel room, and rates held steadv at 2c for wheat and j2J,c for corn to Buffalo. 1 Cash quotations were as follows: Flourdull ntabout 10c decline; Na 2 spring wheat, 73Jc; No. 3 spring wheat, 6JC3c; !

LOCAL JLKD GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS Thursday, Oct. 11 The market for local securities opened dul to-day and continued so nntil the clos ing board, when a few transactions occurred, whicb. were followed after the close by the best trading of ttve day on 'change. The total business for the day, however, was light, and while a little strength was shown in spots the general tone of the market was barely s'teady to weak. The strong spots were Peoples Pipeage, Pleasant Valley railway, Under ground Cable, Switch and Signal, and United States Glass preferred, while the weak ones were pretty well distributed throughout the remainder of the usually active list. Luster closed a little better than the previous day, but its fluctuations at present are without significance. In the bank list the features were an advance in Enterprise Savings Bank, of Allegheny, to 80 bid and an advance in M. M. National to 73i bid. movements of the Market. P. & B. traction sold at 25 at the second board, closed -at 25K25Ji and sold at'25V after the close. The only fresh gossip on the stock was in relation to the company's hilltop interests. In this regard it was stated that the company, having issued its limit of bonds, lound it necessary to organ ize a new company to build rapid transit lines on the hilltops, and the Birmingham, Enoxville and Allentown Traction Com pany was organized with a cardial of $1,000, 000 and $500,000 6 per cent 40-year bonds. This stock is owned by the P. & B. traction, which guarantees the principal and interest on the bonds, $425,000 of which wei e placed in Philadelphia and Pittsburg. Thus the roads wete built and equipped, and while they have only been in operation a rew montns tuey are already maatng a littie money. It was also stated that the P. & B. tnrned Its interests in the Mt. Oliver and Pittsburg inclines and Short Lino over to the Birmingham, Knoxville and Allentown Traction Company. In referring to this matter the Tel graph observes that It ''makes clear the item of $26,697 74 fixed charges, which figured in the supplementary report accompanying the annual state ment, and coveting the first quarter of the new fiscal year.

The meeting of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad stockholders to-day was one or the most lmpoitant and interesting In the history of the company. For years there has been discord over the annual election ot three directors, often supplemented by legal proceedings. Last year a bitter legal light resulted and a double election took place; but this year the meeting was not obstructed by lawyers' pleas. E. E. Bacon has but recently returned from a visit to England, where he succeeded in enlisting the great oulk of the shareholders in his plan for a reorganization of the road. The result or the election was an overwhelming victory for the English shareholders. At the meeting of the directors Messrs. McKlin and Fahnestock re signed, and General James H. Wilson, of Wilmington, Del., and Edwaid R. Bell, of New York, were cuosen in tbeirplaces. Tho board elected Mr. F. W. Tracv, President, but made no other changes.

PlC Iron Statistics. Philadelphia, Oct. 13. Tne Bulletin, of the American Iron and Steel Association, Issued to-day, says: We have just received from the manulacturers complete returns of the stocks of unsold pig iron in their own hands or in the hands of their agents on the SOth of September last and not intended for their own consumption, which we give in com parison with the statistics of similar stocks at the close of the last three preceding quar ters, namely, on June 80 and March 31, 1892, and December 31, 1891. Inoluded in the flguies given are the stocks of pig iron in the yards of the American Pig Iron Storage Warrant Company, which are still under the control ot the manufacturers. Net tons are used: December JO. 1891 March 31, 1892 Juno 30, 1892 "September JO, 1892..., ..667,893 ,..804.808 ..828,500 ..691,468 M compared with the itooki of unsold pig Iron on hand on June 30, 1892, there was a decrease In these stocks at the end or Sep tember of 135,032 net tons, which is a favora ble and hopetul exhibit for our piiiron manufacturers. The decrease is in all of the three divisions of the pig iron trade ac cording to the fuel used, the decrease in bi tuminous, ohiefly coke, being 6L253 tons; In anthracite, chiefly mixed anthracite and eoke, 65,713 tons, and in charcoal, 28,066 tons. In addition to the stocks or unsold pig Iron in the hands of the manufacturers or their agents at the four periods mentioned, there were also in the yards of the Storage War rant Company the following stocks of pig iron which were no longer under the con trol of the manufacturers: December 31. 1891... March 31. 1892 June SO, 1892 September 30. 1892... ,.84,608 ,.45,942 .42,417 .89,526 ThA tntnl mmntitv of nicr Iron in tho vards or the Storage Warrant Company was as fol lows: Decembers!. 1891 98,123 March 31. 1892. 70,112 June 30, 1892 81,648 September 30. 1892 94,301 In addition to tho gratifying Information concerning unsold Stocks which wo are en abled to present we can also congratulate our pig iron friends upon the fact which our tables also establish that the number of fur naces in blast on September 80 was 16 less than on June 80. To have blown out in three months 16 more furnaces than were blown in and to have reduced unsold stock in the same 135,032 net tons are faots which together are v, ell calculated to give a most hopeful tone to the immediate future ot the pig iron market. Better reduced production and a reduced demand for pig iron than a continuance ot the unreasonably low prices of the past year. r Financial Notes. Whitney & Stephenson sold Union Switch and Mgnal to J. D. Bailey and D. Shaw. Hill & Co. sold P. & B. to Kuhn Bros, and the later sold Duquesne to the former. Long bought 60 P.

Sellers McKoe, President of P. & B., Is quoted as saying that if the company had started in with the Westlnghouse system it wonld be paying dividends now, and if they had kept long of the Short system they would have been short of a road by this time. The Directors of the United States Express Company to-day declared a dividend of 2 per cent payable November 1. The last dividend was in May, 1891. From Soroul & Co.'s letter: "Monev was somewhat easier to-day, a cessation of the recent outflow having a favorable effect upon rates." The New York Herald devoted sevoral col umns of Its valuable space to reviewing the merits ot the seven stars Mining company. An attempt is being made to float this con cern on a quack medicine basis by a lot of quack medicine peddlers. Literally speak ing, the Herald knocks the stars right out of the scheme. Caveat emptor. Wall Street JVcicj. Ot the new Westlnghouse lamp the Philadelphia Prets, says: "It is a most ingenious and, combined with the nickel plated socket, is a very pretty applianoe to look at with the layman s eyes. The socket fits over the glass globe, and by an ingenious arrangement or springs become securely attached to this vacuum bulb. When it is thus attached the current is on, and by a twist of the globe with the hand the light can be turnedon or off as deslied. In the vacuum bulb theie is the carbon burner attached to iron wiro which passes through a glass plug, and this is fastened to the globe by sealing fluid. If the burner bleaks, all that is necessary to do is to hold this sealed end near a light or fire; it melts in a moment, the broken burner' can be taken off and a new one inserted."

Coyle & Co. to a syndicate of local capital ists for $150,000, or $5,000 per acre.

The transaction caused considerable talk among the brokers when matte known to-day, and it developed the fact that another Squirrel Hill acreage tract will change hands In a few days for a consideration not far below $150,000.

STAPLES ARE FIRM As a Rule and the Tendency of Most Prices Is Upward Dairy Products, Eggs and Coffee Prominently Strong Crop Ex pert Prime Makes a Cheering Report. Thursday. Oct. 13. Trade in mercantile lines continues to be fairly satisfactory aud merchants are ex pecting a fair degree of activity throughout the remainder ot the year. Prices, as a rule, are holding up well and the tendency in many lines is upward. Dairy products and eggs are higher; sugar and cofieeare strong, with an early advance in the latter probable; and fruits and vegetables are firmer. Potatoes are doing somewhat bet ter, and the movement in poultry is more active. Receipts of grain, hay and feed continue large and tho market remains dull and comparatively weak. Ciop Expert Prime says: "I am still of tho long-held opinion that tho West was never In better shape for a good fall trade in the interior than to-day, and that the large sur plus of grain going forward so recently lias put agreataeaioi money into circula tion, which will bo soent freely this fall, not only for -comforts, hut for luxuries. The dry weather at present is holding back farmeis from finishing np the seeding of winter wheat, thiee-fourths of which is now in the ground. The condition of tho soil is such that plowing is impracticable and tho cnily-sown wheat needs lain tobringitup. The dry weather has also doveloped insect lite. I do not forcet the fact that late seed ing last season did not operate against an average yield; still the winter wheat crop is very uneven, both in quality and quantity. In the spring wheat areas farmers are well along with their plowing and also with threshing. For the last 30 days the country roads have been In excellent condition and farmers have poured out surprisingly their surplus corn of last season. The ti ado often wonders wny iarmers sen so ireeiy when prices are low and crops short, but it is a lact that the movement is generally freest when the stuff is nt its lowest price. I ac count for it in this wny. That when the grain goes up farmeis always think that it will go higher, and therefore keep it; then, as a result, the market falls and they are forced to sell. Such is the position to-day. There is not now a Slate in the corn belt where farmers by selling earlier would not have realized far more than they can get for their stuff to-day. Thou, again, a great many farmers will rather sell a crop thnn build new granaries and corn cribs to hold it. This Is particularly the case west of the Mississippi, where lumber is always very costly." Grain, Flonr and Feed.

Cleveland Also Loner, While Hematites Move Up a Little. Loudojt, Oct. 13. Special. A special cable to the Jro Age says: Scotch warrants have declined to 41s 9d4l3'l(lKl and Cleveland to 39s, while hematites moved up to 49 lOJd. The stock of Scotch in public stores has de creased to 371,100 tons, but that of Cleveland remains at very close to 10,000 tons, the re turns showing only 21 tons' decrease for the week. Dealings have been on a moderata scale throughout the week. The only new feature in the situation is that returns for last month show an increase of 7,161 tons in production in Cleveland and that additional furnaces have since been lighted, leading to the belief that tl.eie will be an accumula tion in makers' hands tins montb. Exports in September were So.000 ton", against 87,000 tons during the corresponding month last year. Foundry and Forge Irons Firmer. New Yobk, Oct. 13. Special. The Iron Age says: While there has been an increase in the capacity of the blast furnaces work ing from 151,618 tons lveekly in September to 153,027 tons per week on the 1st of the month, this has been more than offset by a decrease in the stocks during the month of not less than 82,000 tons. The increase in the output has chiefly taken place among those plants which are owned by or have close re lations with rolling mills and steel plants. Foundry and, forge irons, and particularly tho former, are unquestionably firmer in all markets, but it is evident that In tbe TVese at least tlie attitude of sellers is to be tested by a period of dullness. The plate mills are lalrly busy. Tho de mand for tin plate for canning ba3 been dis appointing thus far this season. New York Metal Slarket. New York, Oct. 13.
