THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 22, THE WORLD BEATER. Ko Such Buildings "Were Eyer Erected for an Interna tional Show AS TltOSE IX CHICAGO. All of the Great Slrnctnres Kow Tragically Completed. A DESCRIPTION OF EACH OP THEM. Government and Administration Headquar ters of the Finest THE STATES TO BE WELL REPRESENTED CniCACO, Oct. 2L The format dedica tion of the World's Columbian Exposition affords tlie first opportunity lor public ex amination, criticism and approval or disap proval ol the buildings to be devoted to this jrieat international enterprise, which will be opened to the public May 1. 18113. The information which has previously gone to the public has been fragmentary, incom plete, and to a great extent prospective rather than of that official or authoritative character which can only arise from prac tical results. To-diy finds all the great buildings, which only existed to the arclii tcct'iral eye 12 months ago, now practically completed and ready lor the installation of exhibits. With the growth and develop ment of the original plans the financial necessities of the Fair have also tremend ously increased, but the public enthusiasm has lortuiiatcly kept pace with this rapid development until the contemplated Sj.OOO, 000 World's Fair of three years ago has now grown to a World's Columbian Exposition with 518,750,000 available and to be actually expended before the gates are opened to visitors. The management of the World's Colum bian Exposition may be said to be vested in four.organizatior.s: The 'National Com mission, authorized by Congress; the World's Columbian Exposition, organized tinder the laws of the State of Illinois; the Board of Lady Managers, authorized by Congress, ana the World's Congress Aux iliary. The National Commission is com posed of eight Commissioners at Large, with alternates; two Commissioners from each State, Territory and the District of Columbia, one Democrat and one Iiepubli can, appointed by the President on the nomination ot their respective Governors. This commission has delegated its authority to eight of its members, who constitute a Hoard of Reference and Control, and who act with a similar number selected Irom the World's Columbian Exposition. The World's Columbian Exposition is composed o! 45 citizens of Chicago, elected annually bv the stockholders. On this body tails the burden ot raising the necessary money arid the active management. Details of the Management. The Boaid of Lady Managers is composed of two members, null alternates, lrom each Sta'e and Tenitory, and nine from the city of Chicago. It has the supervision of women's participation in the Exposition, and of w hatever exhibits ot women's wort aay be made. lJie World's Congress -Auxiliary was or 'wiized for the purpose of holding a series 3 congresses to supplement the exposition flat will be made ot the material progress vA the "world by a portrayal ot" the achieve ments in science, literature, education, gov ernment, jurisnrudencc, morals, charity, art, religion and other branches of mental activity. George 11. Davis, of Chicago, is director general of the entire Exposition and therefore is chief executive officer. In the Joint Board ot Control is of course vested the actual management and from the verdict of this board there is no appeal. The financial situation ot the World's Columbian Exposition at the present time is most satisfactory. The recent appropri ation ot Congress, quickly followed by the sale ol 54,000,000 debenture bonds, place the enterprise in a position to meet any ex pense to be inclined before the opening of the gates. TLe World's Columbian Exposition is to co!?t three times as much as any previous exposition in the history of the world; it occupies about four times as many acres, aud Has about twice as much space under root as the greatest ol former expositions. 2o exposition ot the past has ever received the support of more tfian one-third tlie na tions ot the world, while the Columbian Exposition has leeeived recognition and ap plications lor spacs lrom every civilized nation of the globe. Thirty Mate Ituildings Already There. The true magnitude of the World's Columbian Exposition :an only be realized when it is stated that, the United Stales not considered, the space already allotted to foreign nations alone exceeds the total space ui any previous world's lair. In addi tion to this will come the space of Ameri can exhibitor', ulrch iar exceeds the aggre gate of all the loreign nations ot the orld. JCearly etery State in tl.q Union lias made appropriations lorSiate buildings and Sutc exhibits, and there arc already under con struction no le'-s than thirty Slate build ings on the groui.d. The WorldV Fair site is in Jackson Park and Midw.iy Pl.-.is nice, about six miles lrom the center of tin- city ot Chicago, and 1.0J7 acres is cmbractd in the site. This is nearly lour limes tlie area ol any previous exposi tion, aud the number ot square leet under roof, over 5,000,000, is nearly twice as much as the greatest exposition of the past- The beauty ot the Ioeatiwi ot the buildings ot the World's Columbian Exposition is that nearly every structure fronts on the lake, the entire eastern limits lor a mile and a halt being wasiied bv the chores of Lake Michigan. Iu the northern portions ot the park are grouped nearlv all the State buildings, the Fine Art Building and the various Mructures ot foreign na tions. Next comes the Fisheries building, which is situated just north of the iogoou, and directly west ot the Fisheries build ing on the opposite side ol the park, stands the Woman's building. South of the Woman's building aud on the same side of the lagoon, vhirli parallels the late, arc the Horticultural building and the Trans portation building. To the soMthxvard of the Government building, on the east side of the lagoon und bordering on the Like, is the giant structure of the Fair, the Manu factures and Liberal Arts building. South J ot this edifice is the great pier, lor lake steamers, extending 1,000 leet into the lake and on one wing ot which is the Music Hall. Extending westward from the pier is along avenue several hundred leet wide. A l'cu Sketch or tlie 'Whole Affjlr. All down this grand avenue, encompass ing a beautiful sheet of water, stand impos ing buildings along the majestic facades of which sweeps the gaze of the visitor until it rests on the Administration building nearly a mile distant. West of the Agri cultural building stands Machinery Iiall, which is its equal in size and is especially rich in architectural lines and detail;. To the northward of the Administration building on either side and facing the grand avenue stand two more immense buildings, one for the electrical and the other for tlie mining exhibit. Near by is the wooded island a delightful gem pf primitive na ture in striking contrast with the elabo rate productions of human skill which sur round It. In the southwestern portion of the grounds are the great depots, the nu merous railway tracks and the stock fami lies. The Forestry building fronts the lake in the southeast and nearby is the Sawmill, the Dairy building and various other smaller but equally interesting structures. Th great buildings of the World's Co lumbian Exposition, which are. practically completed and readv for exhibits at the present hour, are here briefly described:. Manufactures and Liberal Arts. Likeagiant among pigmiesthe Manufact ures and Liberal Arts building looms up above its companion buildings until their colossal r.r&ortions are dwarfed into insig nificance by the very comparison. Ifoted as the largest building ever constructed, it loses nothing of its beauty by its size, -as in symmetrical proportions and design it rivals any of the other great architectural triumphs of the World's Columbian Ex position. This building, which is com pleted and ready tor exhibits to-day, covers over SO acres and has in floor space, includ ing galleries, an area of 43 acres. It is over a quarter of a mile in length, cost 51,700,000 and contains 3,000,000 leet of lumber and J THE UNITED STATES 10,000,000 pounds of iron. It is only pos sible to appreciate the immensity of this structure bv comparison, and when one is told that it is lour times larger than the old Roman Coliseum, w hich seated S0,000, that the great pyramid Cheops could be cmnfortablv housed in its inside and still leae room lor the Sphinx, Cleopatra's Needle, Liberty Statue on Bedloe's Island and Notre Dame of Paris as additional attractions, an adequate appreciation is received of its magnitude. Ten thousand electric lights will be neces sary to illuminate the building. If the fantasy had led the Exposition officials to have indeed coustructedn city beneath this roof along the various avenues and streets, 1,000 colleges could have found room within its walls and a population of 5,000 people could have existed here without a single discomfort of an overcrowded pity. Tne Corinthian style of architecture is the one that prevails in this building. Three hundred thousand people can be comfort ably seated it. this building, and the largest standing army in the world that of Russia could be mobilized beneath its roof. Only half the space is utilized in seating the 75,000 guests of the dedication ceremonies, ns these are as man v as can possibly get within the sound of the speakers' voices in. this great building of over a quarter of a mile in length. The Electricity Building. In the ElectricUy building is tobeex bibited the crowning glory of the nine teenth century. No other industry or science has made such progress within the last decaJe, aud this building and its ex hibits may be declared a monument to men already living to Edison, ot America; Werner Siemens, ot Germany, and Sir William Thompson, ot Englaud, the men who have led the van in electrical dis coveries and inventions. This building is erected at a cost of JG50.000, aud is over.750 leet long and 350 feet wide. The archi tecture, in which the Ionic and Corinthian prevail, is calculated to harmoniz- perfectly with the intended use of the building. The interior decorations, moreover, have been designed especially with a view to the artistic lighting, which will be one of tlie main features cf the exhibit. Four hundred and fifty arc lamps for the general illumination of the building.or one lamp to every 50 feet square ot space, and 10,000 or more incandescent lamps besides all of the special efforts of lichting among the exhibits, will make the building a veritable blaze of light But electricity, as exemplified in the exhibits and in its power for usefulness, does not end with the electricity building. Its applica tion begins at the "mammoth power house situated in the Machinery Hall and extends by means ot wires to convey light, heat, power and signals to every pan of the crounds and all of the buildings and it then goes outside the grounds by means of the telegraph and telephone to all parts of the world. This great power plant is to in clude electrical machinery aggregating 21, 000 horse power. Steam will not be allowed in any part of the grounds or in any ol the buildings excepting at this central power sta tion. All power at other points will be by electrical transmission. The machinery of exhibitors in all the other departments will be driven by electrit motors, 4,000 to 6,000 electrical horse power being supplied lor that purpose. The grounds and buildings will be lighted by electricity, 7,000 arc lamps of 2,000 caudle power each and be tween 100,000 and 150,000 incandescent lamps. The general illumination in all the buildings will be by arc light excepting in the art galleries, the Woman's building, the Administration building and some ot the Slate aud Foreign buildings. In these ex ceptions the lighting will be by iucaudes cent lamps. The elevated railway which will traverse the grounds of the Exposition, will be operated by electricity.the boats ot tlie omni bus line, w hich are to ply tne waters of the lagoon aud the inner harbor, will be oper ated by storage batteries, many of the pas senger aud lreight elevators in the larger buildincs will be electrically propelled, the great central fountain in lrout ot the Ad minis' ration building will be operated by electricity, and tlie two spectacular lount aius at either side of this will also be electrical. The Art Building a Beauty. The most substantial building of the World's Fair aud the one likely to remain a permanent structure iu Jackson Park is the Art Building. It is the only fire-proof building on the grounds and great pains have been taken to notily aud assure Euro pean art exhibitors that their treasures would be s?cure lrom any possible conflag ration that might break out during the ex position. Of a Grecian-Ionic style which will receive as much artistic praise as the exhibits on. the inside, this building of classic architecture has been constructed at au expense ot 5070,000. It is 00 leet long and 320 leet wide and has two annexes each of which is200 by 120 feet. The floor space ot the main building aud annexes is six and one-halt acres. Ot oblong structure, the Art building is intersected, north, south east and west by a great nave and transept 100 feet wide and 70 feet high. A colossal winged figure of Victory surmounts the dome, and the corners made by the crossing of the nave and transept are utilized for small picture galleries Sculpture is to be. displayed upon the main floors ot the nave and transept, and paintings and panels in bas relief will be exhibited on the ground floors of both the galleries. Outside gal leries, 40 leet wide, form a continuous promenade around the classic structure. Machinery Hall and Its Expanse. The inventive genius of the closing decade 'of the century is to be displayed in Ma chinery Hall; and when this building is opeh to visitors its interior will be cne great maze of moving machinery. It is located at the extreme south end of the grounds and In the center of the part from Bide to side. Over 800 feet long and 500 feet wide, with an annex of 550 feet in length and 490 leet in width, this vast' structure cost 51,200,000, and has a floor space of over 17 acres. One of the leatures ot this building is that the vast arched trusses which support the roof of the main building are built separately of Iron and steel in such manner that they may bo taken down and used as railroad train houses or State exposition buildings. The steam power which will move the multifarious machinery of this building after the installation of these mechanical exhibits, is supplied from a large power house just adjoining to the south. Every engine and every dynamo will be an exhibit, and in nearly every case the vast expense of installation is borne by the exhibitor. The design of the exterior of Machinery Hall is severely classical and modeled in detail from the renaissance of Seville and other Spanish cities. The two facades on the court are adorned with colonnades and other artistio architectural features, which contribute to make the exterior view of this building an imposing one. The interior of the main building, spanned by the three great arched trusses, gives the appearance of three great exposition halls side by side but all in one. The Transportation Building. It requires but a moment's glance for the GOVEBNMENT BUILDING. visitor to recognize the Transportation building, for on every side of this mammoth structure are figures and statuary emblema tic of the industry to which it is dedicated. An era in the age of invention is marked bv this being the first time in the history of world's fairs that an entire' building is devoted to' the science of transportation. Modeled after the Romanesque and the methods of tbe Ecole des Beaux Arts, this building is simple in architectnral treat ment yet elaborate in the detail ot its finish. TIiemain building is 960 feet long and 250 feet wide and the annex still larger, be ing 900 feet by 425 feel. The total floor space of the main building and annex is 13) acres, and the total cost 5370,000. In tin" center of the main buildings a cupola 165 feet high and provided with eight ele vators gives visitors an opportunity to ob tain an excellent view of the entire Exposi tion irom this eminence. The Agricultural Building;. It is a fitting tribute to husbandry and the millions engaged in this occupation in the United States- that of the immemse buildings devited to a single art, science or iwlustrv.tbe Agricultural bnilding heads the list. Of course it is not so large as the Manufactures building but the latter repre sents all the allied industries that may be classed under the general term of manufac tures while agriculture is a specific term applicable onlv to those who till the soil for the annual vield thereof, and not to be confounded with horticulture, dairying, live stock and forestry, all of which are classed as'sepnrate exhibits and each of which has a separate building. Tbe Agricultural build intr is nn attractive structure 800 leet long nnd 500 feet wide and has a floor space of nearlv 19 acres. It stands quite near the lake shore and in form resembles the letter T, one. portion being 500 feet long and the othT -portion 200 feet. The building cost 5618,000 and is so planned in its details as to give all the ac commodations desired by the farmers. It is a single storv structure . and of a design designated as trie heroic by the architects. The mnin'entrance to the Agricultural build ing is 64 feet wide and the rotunda is 100 feet in diameter and surmounted by a glass dome that sheds a daylight clearness on all exhibits. Waiting rooms, committee rooms and the bureau of information are treated on the first floor, nnd broad stairs lead from this floor into an assembly room, having a capacity of 1,500, which is intended for the congresses of farmers, Farmers' Mut ual Benefit Associations, Farmers' Al liances and kindred rural organizations. In the Agricultural building will be exhibited all products of the soil and also agricultural implements and machinery of all kinds. An agricultural experiment station in opera tion will be one of the. most interesting features of the exhibit, and the products of irrigation and sections will also be awarded a conspicuous place. The Horticultural Bnilding in .Taste. The Horticultural building and its enorm ous dimensions of 1,000 feet long and 286 feet wide are only another evidence of the prominence assigned to the kindred indus tries of the soil. In the list of buildings, all assigned to closely allied occupations, are the Agricultural, Horticultural, For estry and Dairy buildings, nearly all of which in Tiast world's expositions have been enclosed beneath a single roor. The Horti cultural building ot the World's Columbian Exposition will cost about 5400,000, and its entire floor space is over 65 acres. The ex terior of the building is of staff or stucco of a warm bull and on the roof of the bnilding, around the central dome, an elaborate dis play of roof-gardening is seen. In front of the buildine is a flower ter race lor outside exhibits, including tanks for nvmphcas and victoria-regia. A low parapet in iront of this terrace borders the water and at the center affords a commodi ous boat landing. The plan of this bnilding is a central pavilion with two end pavil ions, each connected with the central pavil ion by front and rear curtains, forming two interior courts, each 88 by 270 feet. These courts are beautifully decorated in color and planted with ornamental shrubs and flowery. The center pavilion is roofed bv a crystal dome 187 feet in diameter and 113 feet high, under which are exhibited the tallest palms, bamboos and tree ferns 'that can be procured. Dairy, Forestry and Fisheries. The broad acres of the Western farm, the dairies of New England and New York and the centuries of experience of the heredit ary dairymen of Switzerland and the Old World are to be brought into close competi tion in the Dairy buildings which is 200 feet long nnd 100 feet wide and bas been con structed at a cost of 530.000. The most novel of all the World's Fair buildings in its construction and design is the Forestry building. It is almost incred ible to conceive that a building500 feet long and 200 leet wide can be built without a nail or an ounce of metal in its construc tion, yet this leat has been accomplished in the Forestry building. This is a structure', too, which in point of strength is one of the strongest buildings on the ground and its location on the verv verge of the water makes it necessary for it to withstand all tbe strength of the fierce lake winds that prevail all the winter. The rustic is nat urally the idea which has been uppermost at all times in the construction ' of the For estry building and the effect accomplished is one certainly difficult to surpass. One of the most unique structures of the World's Fair is the Fisheries building. 'Erected at a cost of $224,000, this building with its two annexes has a floor space ot over three acres. This building with its annexes is 1,100 feet long and 200 feet wide and is situated on the east side of tbe large island in the extreme north of the lagoon. Of course rocks, mosses and lichens consti tute a large portion of the decorations and furnishings of this, building. The substan tial structure of the Fisheries building is composed of wood, iront steel and glass, staff as usual 'being used for the outside covering. Tlio Woman's Bnilding a Neat One. The architecture and decorations of tbe Woman's building hare been entirely planned and carried out by women, as the mcurr u n hiuw weir auvanceuiem in certain lines of art. and especially in those fields which should belong partly to them. It is 3S8 feet long, 199 feet wide and cost $138,000. The Woman's building is the only one which possesses roof gardens, the effect of which will be most delightful when covered by gaily colored awnings and adorned with tropical foliage plants, the arrangement of which is' to be taken in charge by the French Commission, under the direction of the most celebrated land scape gardner in the world. The vases filled with flowering plants, to bo placed on the balconies of tbe second story, will also contribute to the gaiety of the general effect. One of the most prominent buildings of the World's Fair is the Mines and Mining, a structure 700 feet long and 350 wide, and situated between the Electricity'and Trans portation buildings. It cost $265,000. It has a floor space of nearly six acres and its architecture is of the Italian renaissance with a light French spirit visible in its ex terior design. There are lour 'great en trances to the building, one on each side, but those of the north and south are the most pretentious. A colossal, half reclin ing, female figure holds aloft the proverbial lamp and pick of the miner, while at vari ous other points may be seen other emblem atic decorations illustrative. of mines and mining. The most unique exhibit on tbe grounds and the one that attracts the first attention and curiosity of visitors is the naval ex hibit. Near the northeastern shore of the park, about 200 feet from land, lies a fac simile in style and size ol one of the largest ana most improved battle ships 0f modern times. It is 348 leet in length, 69 leet in width amidships, and from the water line to the ton of the main deck is 12 feet. Until the visitor is within a few feet of this structure it is impossible for the most discerning eye to detect any difference be tween it and' one of the 53,000,000 coast line battle ships now being constructed for the United States Navy. It is erected on pil ing, but being surrounded by water, has the appearance ot being moored to tbe wharf. United States Government Building. The Government building which is to be erected by the United States and which stamps the recognition of tbe Federal Gov ernment on the World's 'Columbian Expo sition cost 5400,000 and is 415 feet long by 350 feet wide. Classic.in style, it is mod eled after the National Museum and other Government buildings at Washington and points to the west and connects on the north with the Fisheries building by a bridge over the lagoon. Surrounding it are the Woman's building, and the Govern ment buildings of England, Germany and Mexico. It ts constructed of iron and glass and a central dome, 120 feet in diam eter and 150 leet high, is its prominent architectural feature. The offices of the National Columbian Commission are to be located in this building and the south half of the structure is to be devoted to the ex hibits of the War, Treasury, Postoffice and Agricultural Departments. The exhibits ot the Smithsonian Institute, the Interior Department and the United States Fish' Commission ocoupy the north half, while the State Department exhibit extends from the rotunda to the east end and that of the Department of Jnsticc from the rotunda to the west end of the bnilding. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing shows many new bills under framing. These include a sam ple cf every bill of every denomination that the United States Government now author izes as money. The pride of the World's Columbian Ex position in point of architecture is the Ad ministration building. It occupies the most prominent position in the park and is exactly square, being 262x262. Its height is even greater than its rectangular dimen sions, being 277j feet. This building cost 435,000, and in proportion to its size is tne most expensive structure of the Exposition. It is erected in the form of four pavilions, 84 leet square,one at each of the four angles of the square and connected at the center bv the grea't dome, which is 120 feet in diameter. The architectural design of the Administration building is in the style of the French renaissance. The Music Ball and Other Buildings. At the month of the lagoon, and extend ing north and south, there is a preistvle 60 leet wide aud 500 leet long, spanning the entrance to the big lagoo'ns. Beneath this pleasure craft can enter from Lake Michi gan and sail throughout the. Fair on the waters of the lagoon. The Music Hall, 200 feet long and 140 wide.is at the north end of this prcistyle and contains an auditorium capable of seating 2,000 people with room lor au orchestra of 75 pieces and a chorus ol 300 persons. The finest music of the world will be heard in this building; its mission being to afford a hall lor the fine singers and instrumental musicians who desire to gather here before an audience of their own kindred professions. The great public con certs will be held elsewhere in an amphi theater ample to accommodate 15,000. The cost ot these structures was over 5200,000. A pier extending 1,000 feet into Lake Mich igan with a tower 250 feet high at its ex tremity adds peculiar interest to the whole design. The largesHtelectric search light in the world will be placed at the top ot this tower and will afford magnificent displays at night. Among the other World's Fair structures of interest is a reproduction in staff of the Convent of La Rabida. It was at this con vent in Spain that Columbus sought shelter and ioundfeiwilling listener to bis dreams in Father De Marchena, the prior of the institution. The latter finally obtained for Columbus a reception at the Court of Ferd inand and Isabella, and the great western vovaze and the discovery ot a new world' were the results. Multitudes of other build ings of less importance adorn the grounds. Midwav Plaisance is given up to a repro duction of Egyptian streets, African vil-1 lages, Arabian camps and many other con ceptions emblematic of foreign lite and foreign countries. , Various Handsome Stato Buildings. In addition to the great structures above described, nearly every State in the Union has in course of construction a separato State building for the exhibition of the characteristic industries and resources of the State. The Florida building is a representation of old Fort Marion; the Iowa building is a "blue grass palace;" the Massachusetts de sign is the historical "Hancock House,",of Boston; Maryland reproducesin granite the State Capitol building; New York's model is the old Van Rensselaer residence ot New York City; North Carolina reproduces 'tlyron ..Palace;" Pennsylvania gives us "Independence Hall," even to .tho old "Libertv bell" in tbe rotunda and the 25-foot-dial clock in the steeple; South Da kota's model is an old French farmhouse; Texas follows the design of an old Spanish mission; Wyoming adopts the outline of a French chateau, and the Territory of Utah erects a salt palace from the deposits ot the Great Salt Lake. , Up to the present time the total amount appropriated and collected by subscription for separate State buildings and State ex hibits aggregates 54,746,000. It is esti inated that the total expenditures of the World's Columbian Exposition from -all sources, national. State and foreign, will aggregate the enormous sum Qt 540,000,000. It this estimate be correct, the cost of this exposition will be nearly six times as great as any previous exposition that tbe world has ever known. GENERAL MARKETS.

HIGHER For Steel Billets, Bessemer Is Firmer . ' and Gray Forge Steady. SOME VALUES ARE VERY LOW. Scrip Firm and Tery Active and Old ' Tails Scarce and Strong. GENEEAL OUn.OOK MORE FAT0EABLE Peiday, Oct. 2L The market during the week has been fairly satisfactory so far as the volume of business is concerned. Prices for certain kinds of material are down to a'very low figure. In conversation with a leading con sumer ofpip; iron he remarked: "Prices are considerably below what they ought to be. I believe it would be better for all parties if iron ' was 51 50 to 52 per ton higher. There is certainly scarcely any profit to makers at present prices. My faith is so strong that prices will soon take an upward movement that I never allow my stork of pig iron to be reduced below 3,000 to 3,500 tons, so as to be ready tor what will take place in the near future." The gentleman who made the above remarks has a large mill and has been engaged in tbe iron busi ness all his life. Production is eradnallv being curtailed, and it is now close to whole some proportions. Some of the Strong Points. Mill and foundry irons seem to have been the first to recoivo tho Improving Impulse, bnt liessemer pig iron and steel slabs and billets continne to manifest stubbornness. The easiest way to explain snch a state of affairs is to fall back on supply nnd demand and attribute tho comparative weakness in the soft steel products to the lack of active demand for them. Trices, without excep tion, are tho lowest ever recorded. "Cold Short's" remedy is a good one; here it is: "Intellectual capacity and Jierve, or 'sand,' as tho siang users put It, is the combination that never stops to consider difficulties or create imaginary obstructions, but it goes in to win, nnd, unless the possibilities directly oppose it, ic wins." Valley Shipments of a Year. A dispatch from Yonngstown says: "Henry Evans, Secretary of tho Iron Manufacturers' Association, has, prepared a detailed state ment of the 12 months' shipments in and out or the valley. The shipments from the roll ing mills. In gross tons, were: Slack bar, 13,000: finished iron, iffS.lOO; mill cinder. 07,500. Tho pig iron shipments from the blast furnaces are 443,000 gross tons. Julian Kennedy is chief engineer of the con struction of tbe Ohio steel plant to be built here." The Situation In the East. An Eastern iron merchant has this to say: "The steady improvement iu the iron trade is exercising a perceptible Influence upon consumers of pig iron who are manifesting greater eagerness to place orders for future delivery. The present output and more Is being taken, and, although tlie capacity in blnst is expanding, thero is no probability that that the production will greatly exceed tbe demand for a long time nt least. The sellers feel decldedlv that the advantage Is with them, and unltormly decline to accept long-time contracts nt present prices. Ru mors of an advance in all three grades are In circulation, but meet with nil emphatic denial." Closing Temper of the Market. The marked advance in the price of steel this week was a surprise to a great many. The steel works in Wheeling and Pittsburg are fully sold up for tho balance of the year, and this, v.'ith considerable tonnage sold short by a firm of middlemen, has caused prices to advance very rapidly, and from indications, even at present high prices, there will not be steel enough to meet present demand for shipments prior to January, 1833, und current prices will be easily obtained for steel this year. We are reported sales or 1,000 tons for October and November, at $24 cash. Bessemer pur is firmer; no sales reported below $13 75. Gray Forge steady and unchanged. Muck bar priccb'aro maintained. Scrap u nterial is very firm and transactions are liberal. Skelp' iron and steel find ready sale at cur rent rates. Sheet bars In good demand. The outlook Is decidedly favorable for a good business tho balance of the year. The following sales have been reported during the week: COKE-SMELTEP tAKE AND NATIVE OBIS. 3.0CO tons Bessemer.

Activity and Firmness the Features of the TVestern Situation. CnicAco, Oct. 2L Special. Rogers, Brown & 3Icrwin say: Tiio Cbtcago pig iron market is active, inquiries being numerous both for large and small lots. These inquir ies have come from consumers wbo bavs bought previously sufficient to cover tbem during the remainder of the year. They realize, however, that tho market condi tions are stiffening and therefore desire to, cover now for their consumption well into next year. The demand is distributed be tween soft and foundry grades of both Northern and Southern cokes, the latter being largely called for. The firmness reported daring tho past two weeks contlnuossand a number of com panies have been Ibtlged to refuse nny farther orders on certain grades for delivery this year, at their entire make will be taken by contracts previously booked. Lake Su perior charcoals are held more firmly than has been the case any time during the last six months; $17 Chicago is now the bottom figure on all but one or two oatsido brands.
