EFFECT OF TARIFF CHANGES.

Since the tariff schedules were settled as
much as the passage OF the conference bill
could settle them, the iron and steel indus
tries Of this district have taken on less
cherries aspect than was the case pre-
viously. There has been considerably
more inquiry in the past two weeks, and,
as stocks in the hands OF manufacturers
and jobbers are light, prices are frmer
though unchanged. The anticipations
during the pendency Of the tariff
in Congress discounted the effects Of
the final passage. The mills possess

not taking orders for assorted bars below a
two. cent basis, and q fractional addition
for small orders. Steel is looking up, and

WARRINGTON, March 9l.-The Ssdr says
at is unfortunate, to say the least, that the
business interest Of this country should be

trade and industry has been more or less
obstructed by the discussion OF the bill to
reduce internal taxation and revise the
tariff which mainly goes into effect on the

ers, a well.informed mill man was seen in
Allegheny by reporter yesterday.
When questioned as to the report that
Mr.. jarrett would not be a candidate for

piled that there was no foundation for the
statement. He said
"Ihaye not heard Union man say any
thing against Mr.. Jarrett during any time

state that he will be reelected. l have
known Mr.. jarrett for more than twenty
years, having become acquainted with him

President Of the AssSeiasion?' interrogated
the reporter. ~
"Under the circumstances" was thereby,
i'Mr. Martin will not run for the same office
against Mr.. Jarrett, but will doubtless be
reelected Secretary. He could till the office
OF President and could become candidate
against any other man but Mr.. Jarrett"
A finisher at 0lliver's mills was spoken
to in relation to the above, and his replies
were confrmatory.

CLEVELAND, O., September PA
correspondent at Kelley's Island reports
that the grape crop of all the islands this
year will be the nearest failure they
have had since 1875. The catawba crop
is estimated at not to exceed $50 pounds
to the acre, or say less than
one-tenth of a crop. Concord, next
in importance, will be little over
half a crop. Delaware comes next
with an average crop, the punches being
full and fine and are now selling fresh.
netting 10 to IL cents a pound. Ives
seeding nearly or quite an average crop.
Wine companies are offering 3 cents per
pound. The above varieties comprise
nearly IS per cent. of all the kinds raised
here. The catawba rotted badly during
the entire season since they were out OF
blossoms. The punches are thin
and the berries 'few and far be
tween" None are fit for sale for table
use. They are worth 4 to cents fol
wine. As compared with last years
vintage, the entire crop will not proba
bly, exceed 15per cent. Prices will per
baps be 1O per cent. higher. If the
grape growers get 90 per cent. as much
money as last year, their ex-
pectations will be realized, and
this is rather an ever than unde,
estimate. Last year tie Kelley Islard
Wine Company manufactured 232, 69(
gallons of native vine, and 1850 cases
of "Island Queen" champagne, ani
other island manufacturers made per
haps 10000 gallons Of VINE. Ths
correspondent adds that what is true o
the grape crop on the island is true OF
