General Electric, Denver and Rio Grande, Green Bay and Winona, Laclede Gas and Louisville, St. Louis and Texas were in sharp demand and rose anywhere from $ to 2 per cent. The improvement, howee, was subsequently lost, not only in these stocks, but in the gen eral list as well, on account of a determined raid on American Suar Keflnine, which car lied that stock down from 110 to 10 A good many stop oi tiers were can -lit on the wa down, the- execution of w Inch acceler ated the decline. There was undoubtedly coiidciable liquidation for the long ac count, but the bears put out additional slioit lilies, not only in Suga"-. bur in Dis tilling and Cattle Feeding and in Chicago Ga, as well as in the railway sii.ires.

CnicAOO, Nov. 11. Wheat -was on the Jump to-day. Tne Government crop reDort was the cause, and the price was lilted lc, clos ing within c of the top. The Azures on corn muddled the rut, and that cereal left off with a loss of Jc. Oats are unchanged and provisions a shade easier. Agoodde.il of alarm amonc shoitswas manifest at the opening in wheat. Theie was a general rush to cover, and the market for a time was quite excited. Cables wero weak and lower, but this had little or no In fluence here. Aftel the noon hour the mar xet had another spurt, but the realizing sales sent it hack somen hat. It is some thing unuual for the Government to make B. repoiton thewheatcropinNovember.and operators did not look for any report. Lust month's percentages Indicated a crop of 519,000,000 bushels, based on the percentages ot acieage publlsned in June and, the aver age yield per acre published in October con firmed the estimated acreage and the Indi cated yield as then publish ed. But the report yesterday, as given out by the Government Department, savs that the yield will not ex ceed 501,000,000 busnels, and it was tills which created the stiength and advance in the market. It was a decided surprise. Corn was active and unsettled. Opening trade-, wete Hc above the final figures of yesterday, the government report placing the yield per acre at 22.4 bnsbels and indi cating a crop of 1,631,000,000 bushels, being construed by some as "bullish." The report reduced previous estimates about 35,000,000 bushels. The near futures were relatively easier than May, which tended to depress that luture. Oats averaged slightly higher. The provision market was not very active. Tnc principal feature of the trading in the pit was the selling of January and buying or May lard by Wright at 5c difference In price. Prices wore at their best lor the day soon after the opening. January pork only once toadied a point as high as it closed vester d.iy. It wound up at a decline of Uo for January compared with the closing quota tion vesterday. lard was also easier and closed with a loss of 7c January ribs wero comparativel' firm, the decline In them being only 2Jc shlnners woretinxious to secure vesoel room and the offerings not being large f agents were aoie 10 ge y auvance in rates to iluffalo, and 3c was paid for wheat and 2sc lor corn. oasli quotations wero as follows: Floni a little steadier, dealers asking a trifle advance.

The allegation is that the duty upon re fined sugar is likely to be otio'of the first items to engage the attention of the incom ing Congiess onuatlmmistiation wuue tne relmpositiou of tho duty on the raw-article iscliimcdto be another object of Demo cratic policy. It is true that so far as could be seen the selling of Sugar and the others of the group was by shorts and outsiders. The situation is such that the insiders in these stocks may turn the tablos and effect a rise on the shoits, at the same timo It re mains to be seen whether tho danger above referred to is not a real one, at least so fur as Sugar is concerned. In such an event the possibility of a decided break on liquida tion of the pools in an irapoitant specula tive group is very probable. From Sproul & Co.'s letter. Manhattan.

Billets Scarce for Prompt Delivery and Holders Firm. BESSEMER CONTINUES STRONG. The Steel Bail Syndicate Win ProtaWj Soon Be Dissolved. STRUCTURAL AND SCRAP IRON ACTIVE Friday, Sot. IL The situation in the iron trade continues to grow better gteadily.althonghthe change is hardly perceptible from day to day. Last week's sales were the largest reported tor a long time, many of the sales being for the first quarter in 1893. It is now notice able that the consumption of pig iron is greater than the production, and the steady reduotion in stocks is beginning to arouse some consumers. For upward of three years the market for pig iron had been growing worse, and purchasers found each lot could be obtained a little cheaper than the preceding one, so that the habit of taking small quantities had become pretty well fixed. This hand-to-mouth policy is still in vogue; producers say they do not care to make long contracts under the cir cumstances, and some of them refuse to enter orders that extend beyond the last of the year. An advance in prices for good brands on New Year's is regarded as almost certain, unless the market should develop sudden weakness. Meanwhile It remains firm, and entirely in favor ot sellers. Views of the Oracles. "Cold Short," a recognized authority, has this to say: "I have claimed all alon that 1S03 will offer very much Improved opportu nities in tne iron Dusmess, ana present man ifestations are bearing out this opinion; but too much urgency in the meantime to dis pose of products will so weaken these od Sortunitles during the early stages of their evelopment that mere shadows of what were almost certain assurances will present themselves lor utilization, and disappoint ment will ensue." s. An Eastern iron man on tho situation: "business at present is so thoroughly sonnd and healthy that evidences of strength and veriltt r crop ont on every side. Buyers are inclined to postpone plncingordeis as far as possible, but their requirements are so ur gent that they have to buy something to piece out with; consequently, the call for spot aenveries is so urgent tnat preciy nearly everything for early delivery is at a premium. Without being irrelevant It may be said that the fullness of time nas come,and that the natural shaping of events will be the development of the largest volume of business ever known. ' This is not civen as a prediction, bus as a statement of facts as legards the general situation. There was a time when almost any mun of intelligence and experi ence In the trade could make a pretty correct gncss for three or four months ahead: in fact opinions in those days were almost unanimous, but the expan sion of business has been so great, and its ramifications so widely extended that it is now almost beyond any man's grasp. As already stated, however, the volume of bus iness is large and of increasing magnitude. This Is shown by decreasing stocks, urgent calls for quick delivery and relatively higher prices than for those at a later date. The question of higher prices, however, Is the unknown quantity." Increase in Production. The November report shows an Increase weekly production ot pig iron, compared with October 1, of 12,367 tons. This brings tne production ud to what it was June 1. Tliere were 16 more stacks in blast Novem ber 1 than October!. The stock ot pig iron on hand October 1 wi 509,000 tons; stock on hand November 1, 423,000 tons; decrease dur ing October, 81,000 tons The Outlook at the Close. Prospects are that the steel rail pool will disband very soon, and prices reach their level as compared with supply and demand, while some claim that only a reduction will be made iu price, giving $23 as the new pool price. Bessemer pig is firm at the previous week's advance: gray forge prices are main tained; soft steel billets spot delivery are scarce and command extreme prices; later deliveries sold at various prices; old iron rails scarce: scrap material firm; structural matetial sello readily at last week'o prices, sales reported tuis week: COKE-SMELTED LAKE AND NATIVE ORES. 2,500 tons nessemer J14 00 cash 2, UX) tons Bessemer , 14 CO cash 1,500 tons Bessemer, Dec, Jan 14 00 cash 1,000 tons Bessemer.

Business Large at Cincinnati. CracTNNATi, Nov. 11 Special. Rogers, Brown & Co. say: Tne days imme diately following tho election were characterized by light business. Buyers seem to want a little tlmo In which to col lect themselves and size up the situation. General bnsines goes on In large volume, and there is every indication that consump tion of iron through the fall and winter will be very heavy, taxing; the preient produc ing capacity to the fullest. The election re sult will very likely put a check on tho blowing In of new mrnaces until it Is seen whether tho general expansion of business in the country will be letarded. A railing Off In Chicago. Chicaoo,Nov. 11 Special. Rogers.Browa & Merwln say: The Chicago market has, during the last few days, shown a decided falling off in the way of activity.

THE International Monetary Conference at Brnsselt with portraits of the American delegates In THE DISPATCH to-morrow. HOT AFFECIED BY TABIPF. One Business In Which the United States Has a Monopoly. Mayor Gourley, in regard to his election as a member of the board of directors in a reaper and mower company on Thnrsday, said yesterday: "It means, as I have all along declared, that when my term as JIayor expires I shall go into business and devote my time and attention to it. It re moves me from politics entirely." "Do you think, in view of the Democratic victory and probability of tarifl legislation, this a good time to go into business?" "Well, the reaper and mower business will not be affected bv any kind of legisla- tion. America produces agricultural ma chinery lor the world and no other country can compete with her. I am satisfied with the prospect. The company I have joined is not making a new venture. The business is established- on a paying basis and has been lor some years. Our headquarters are at Latrobe."
