Mr. Berry Wall.

BUFFALO, Ju'y s. The body OF Captain
Webb has not yet been found. 1t is be-
lieved that his remains are still in the
whirlpool. Bodies have been known to
remain in the maelstrom for several days
when they were shot out OF the currents
by some hidden force and loated down the
river. There are other cases on record OF
bodies being swallowed up and never COM
ing to light again. A careful search wa
made on both sides OF the river yesterday
and to-day without results.
Many foolish rumors have been circu-
lated to the effect that Webb did not under
take the feat, but
Used Dummy
to deceive the public, and that he is hiding
somewhere. Bets have been made that he
will appear in two or three days. These
stories are not worthy Of the slightest Gre
dence. The opinion is gaining ground that
Webb was disabled before reaching the
channel, and that by the time he reached
the vortex he was in no condition to make
even a feeble fight for life. He was swept
down the gorge 1T the rat= OF about thirty
five miles an hour, and it is not unreasona'
BILE to suppose that he came in collision
with SOME of the rocks. Sensible people
cannot comprehend how a man in his right
mind would not commit himself to an un'

Captain Webb did not fully appreciate the

the most perilous part of the trip and that
the whirlpool itself would be easy enough

danger from the rocks, but thought he
could swim the current and avoid them.
David Young, one of the Oldest residents
near the suspension bridge, says he has
seen bodies float for twenty four hours,
and then suddenly disappear. In week
or ten days they would be found mutiIated
at Lewiston or in Lake Ontario. He has
seen logs fifty feet long, sucked down, shot
out, and sucked back out OF sight. Before
going East 10 night with Captain Weob'S
effects, Mr. Kyle, his manager, left instruc
tioDs TO notify him in Boston If the body
be found.

PIrrsUURGH, July 2S.-The summer dull

per, has been more marked this year than
is usual but the indications are very pro u
ising. Prices are fast hardening and bet
ter condition of affairs approaching, and
with the resumption OF
The Nall Mills
and the completion of repairs and starting
up of the many idle rolling mills mex;
month good opening for the fall trade is
assured. The stocks in the mills are not
large and inquiries are becoming strong on
structural and other work. which denotes q
better feeling Orders are not arriving as
yet but standard prices denote their early
receipt. The wire mills at work are gener-
ally engaged stock for the future as
farmers have no time for fence building
until spring.
The Boom In Pig.
The state of the pig iron market Is the
best indication OF the revival in the iron
trade. That pig iron IS better commodity
than il has been for months goes without
contradiction. Prices are firmer, although
not higher, and the market reports really
represen the actual values. The conces
sions made few weeks ago are not made
now, and there are q good many
buyers floating about, and good,
steady demand. One merchant yester-
day said he had so much faith in
The Stability OF the Market,
that he refused an order for 600 tons this
week b. refusing to concede twenty five
cents on the ton. The production OF pig
for the first half OF this year was 1852, ol9
gross tons or ~, S57 tons more than one
half OF the whole production during last
year. On July there were 334 furnaces
In blast, falling off from June of fourteen
furnaces which is all the better for the
