The Market Shows Continued Im provement. Pittsburg, Aug. 2i. The American Manufacturer will say tomorrow ; "While the activity in sales in the iron and steel trade Is not as active this week as it was last, the Improvement continues and the market has lost nothing. Tho advanced prices quoted last week nro still held and the de mand at most points is fully as strong The condition of trade is shown in the action of the axle manufacturers who are said to have recently advanced prices $10 per ton. The maker.s of lot go billets thereupon put their prices fiom $20 to $24 per ton. At Philadelphia the pig Iron market is excited by outside influences. Some of the largest makets claim to be sold up to tho close of the year, but tho activity in the market is greater than the advance in pi ices. The steel billet trade Is active as those Interested were caught by bui prise. The market has advanced $1, and high er figures nre expected. The sltuutlon in tho bar mills Is promising. The.-e are Increased sales of sheets and the Plato mills are breaking nil tccoids. At New York there arc encouraging signs of a revival and everybody Is more hopeful.

Everltt City, On., Aug. 23.-Owing to n combination of unfortunate eltcutn stanceo, the Philadelphia hospital train which Is enrouto for Fcrnandln.i, Fla., for the purpose of bringing the sick soldiers of tho Third Pennsylvania regiment to Philadelphia, did not reach Its southern destination until late this afternoon. When the trnln reached Washington yesterday at noon It was found that arrangements for nttachlng the private car of the United States oluntecr surgeon to the hospital spec ial had been mndc without consulting tho councllmanlc committee. Chnlrman Brlnghurst, of the commlt tie, objected to any such arrangement and Insisted that the car be detached. Tourist Agent Bell, of the Pennsylvan ia Railroad company, called on tho general manager of the Southern roll way and Informed him thnt tho special would not leave Washington unless the car was cut off. and the car did not go. This caused a delay of one hour nnd ten minutes In leaving the national capital. Thete wan further delay on the Southern system caused by the heavy movement of soldlcis to Mlddletown, Pa. The Second New York was met at Fairfax, S C coming In seveial sections. The train will pi oh ably be able to get away ftom Fet nandlna on tho tetuin trip tonight. This, It is expected, will bring tho sick men Into Philadelphia on Sunday morning. JOHNSTOWN DEADLOCK. Republicans of tho Twentieth Dis tilct Are Unable to Agree. Jihnstown, Pn., Aug. 23.

New York, Aug. 25. The close of the stock market today gave every Indi cation of lenowed absorption on a large scale by powerful speculative interests who count on additional rise in prices. The buying in tho last hour followed a period of extreme dullness during which tho mnrket was left to itself. There wero ruilllclent buying orders with commission houses at a 'level be low tho market to check an early Indi cation of a decline. Some of the re cent elements of weakness were nlso removed. For Instance Manhattan showed recuperative power by rising two points, to the distress of the bears, Theio was also sufficient vigor In the upward movement of Sugar to give color to the rumors prevalent of tho conclusion of a working agreement with new competitors. Tho quarterly statement of Lake Shore was a sig nificant exhibit for refunding, tho large decrease In net earnings for the qunr ter being so far offset by the decrease In the chatges that the surplus Is still above last year's level. The buying of New York Central was Induced by this exhibit and the buoyant recovery of Burlington probably had in view the possibilities for that property in a re funding of Its mortgage Indebtedness, The total sales were 451,401 shares. furnished by WILLIAM LINN ALLEN & CO , stock brokers, Mears' building, rooms 703-70C.
