IRON.
Present Condition and Prospects
of the Trade.
COST OF THE SOUTHERN ARTICLE.

PITTSBURGH, March 13.-The market is in
avery peculiar condition at present, and it
is difficult to make a definite or satisfac.
tory report of it in consequence. Consum.
ers are bearish, and rumors prevail OF
Irons having been offered and sold at very
low prices, but it is impossible to find
out who bought or sold the same, or to OBJ
tain the name Of the furnaces that made
them. Furnacemen, on the other hand, if
anything are sitter than they were week
ago, and, so far as we can learn, are refus-
ing to make concessions in order to
effect sales. They say that pig Iron.
at the price now current, affords
little or no margin for profit, and then they
point to the largely increased production
caused by SO many furnaces blowing out,
and moreover, they are confident of an in.
creased consumption within week or two,
There is more inquiry number of mill men
have been feeling the market during the
present week, which is regarded as an indi.
cation. that they expect to buy in the near
future. We repeat former quotations: No.

PHILADELPHIA,
Slight Growth in Demand and Hopes
ofFurther Improvement.

OfFuriher Improvement.
PHILADELPHIA, March l3.-Pig iron has
not shown the activity which was expected,
although the demand has been fair at
steady prices. The volume of business has
been an average one, and the good time
coming seems to lie still in the future.
Stocks in certain directions are still some
what cumbersome, and some anxiety is
manifested to realize where there seems to
be chance OF securing a desirable buyer.
Low grades ofiron OF all descriptions are par
ticularly dull and weak and the same may he
said of many brands which rank fairly
among No. and No. foundry irons. The
choicest makes are closely sold up at full
quotations. and the demand is, ii anything,
a little ahead Of the supply. At the cur.
rent rate OF consumption it is believed that
production is in excess OF requirements,
and it is clear that the demand must i'm
prove if current quotation are to be main
tained. That the demand will improve
seems to be fcregone conclusion, but it is
difficult to keep prices steady in the mean
time. Some allowance should perhaps be
made on account of the unusually cold
weather, which undoubtedly has had a
depressing influence on business. AS re-
CARDS the tariff there seems to be nothing
likely to affect prices either way, al
though it is satisfactory to know that the
matter is definitely settled and not likely
to cause further interruption to business
for the present. AS to prices, they cover
wider range than usual, Gary Forge having
been sold at from $40 so to $22 80; Ne. 2
Foundry, at so to So so and No. at S24
to s26, according to brand, all Philadelphia
deliveries. Foreign iron is neglected, buyers
showing complete indifference as regards
Bessemer, which is quoted at about so to
$22 80 for shipment, although it is believed
that bids at moderate concessions would
be promptly accepted. Spiegeleisen has
been sold to the extent OF 1000 tons in
three lots, with further inquiries for the
higher qualities.

Medical Authorities watching the Ohio
Valley,

WASHINGTON, March ls.-The medical au.
thorities here are watching the develop
ments in the Ohio valley with good deal
Of interest. Some are Of the opinion that
the overflow must result in agreat amount
OF sickness of dangerous and fatal charsc-
ter, while others hope that no serious re-
suits may follow. Just what the course
will be in regard to the matter is not yet
determined. A correspondent called at the
Office Of the National Board Of Health to
ask about the probable course Of the Board
in reference to this and other matters, or
whether under the meagre appropriation
given them they would be able to accom-
plish anything in this line.
1--WE can't tell yet" responded the aimi.
able officer, "wbat our work will be. There
are a good many things to be taken into
consideration. and besides, we cannot yet
learn whether we shall have anything with
which to do the work, should there be
necessity for ic-'

used for purposes OF this nature?'

HARvARD'S SENSATION.
A Bullying Law Student Thrashed by
n COlOred Waiter whom He Insalted.

~
BosToN, March l3.-The latest Harvard
College sensation occurred Sunday morn
ing in the shape of a rough-and.tumble
fight between J. II. Atwood, Of the law
school, and one Of the negro walters, at
Memorial Hall, the college dining.room.
Atwood is a heavily built fellow OF consid-
erable renown as an athlete and boxer, and
not at all popular from his bullying pro.
pensities. Atwood was at breakfast. He
wanted rolls; there were none, and the
wafer so informed him. Atwood's response
was an oath and command 10 bring rolls
anyhow. The waiter mildly demonstrated,
and was cursed for his trouble. Finally At
wood grabbed chair, and was only pre-.
vented from using il by the interference OF
fellow students. The negro by this time
was also in a fighting condition, and upon
his invitation Atwood repaired TO the
transept outsi3 3e the hall TO have the mat
ter out. Several students witnessed the
contest, and though deprecating ii, were
fairly delighted with the result. Atwood,
heavy as he WAS, was completely annihi-
lated by his smaller antagonist, who
fought him sick" as the saying is.
Atwood is in bed, and q physician 10
soothing him. The waiter continues his
table duties. Harvard is serene again, but
the matter is being widely circulated, and
the waiter is the lion Of the house.

SPORTING.
Base Ball CsnyentiOn-New RuIes-
Races

Base Ball C8nventiOn-New Rules
Races.
ST. LOUIS, March 13.-Yesterday conven-
ton of the American Base Ball Associa-
ton in st. Louis, was a very harmonious
affair. The agreement drawn up at the
New York conference was fully discussed.
The eleven men reserve rule was bitter
pill for some Of them to swallow,
Messrs. Phillips, Barnie and Wonder
Abe being particularly opposed to
It. After considerable amount
of talk, however, the report entire was
unanimously adopted. This secures uni
formity Of action and rules, heals all diff.
ferences, and each association will here
after respect all contracts and rulings OF the
other. At the afternoon session some
changes were made in the playing rules, so
as to make them conform to those OF the
other association. 1t was also decided to
appoint four umpires and four assistants,
and the rules governing them were
brought into harmony with those OF the
league. 1t was also decided that the um.
pires shall wear double-breasted blue han.
mel suits of clothes with brass buttons, and
a naval cap with gold band on 1t. To-
days session was devoted to the adoption
of playing schedule and the ap-
pointment of umpires, which will close
the business of the convention. The rules
were amended so that the foul balk was
dispensed with, and q regular balk substi-
tuted which allows the batsman as well as
the runner a base. Another new rule is
that the pitcher is warned about getting
his arm above the shoulder, balk being
called for every other infringement, the
batSman and runner, as in the other balk,
being allowed base. By the rules gov
erning the umpire that official is made the
captains may appeal from his decision, and
only he can call player to testify. \ fine
OF ten dollars will be imposed on players
for any infringement Of this rule. Another
new rule makes il obligatory on the otfi-
cial scorer to send in all drawn
games TO the secretary, and the figures in
these will count in making up the official
averages as in all other games. The Star
club, OF Coyington, KY, handed in its resig.
nation from the American alliance, aud
the Trenton, n. J., and Muldoon, Center
club, of Cincinnati, were added to that
body, when the convention adjourned.

GRANTS HEAD.

No Loss Expected by the Change.

The Design oTthe New Two-Cent stamp
No Loss Expected by the Change.
WASHINGTON, March l3.-The Postmaster
General has under consideration several
designs for the new two cent postage stamp
for first-claSs matter, which will supersede
the three-cent stamp after July l, 1888.
A fayOrite one is similar to the present
two cent stamp used for local postage, al
though the color is dark brown instead OF
red. Thus far the difficulty has been to
choose whose head shall ornament the
new stamp, but il ia probable that the Tig-
nette will be that Of General Grant IL
will be fully q month before the design Is
sGreed upon, as it is desirable that the
stamp shall not only be Of elegant finish,
but plain and distinct and in every way
creditable to the department from which
il will be issued. No great diminution in
receipts on account Of the reduced postage
Is anticipated by the officials OF the Postof-
nee Department, as they seem impressed
with the idea that the sales OF the new
stamp will nearly make up the threatened
deficiency suggested by the opponents OF
the new law
