The glass trade in Pittsburgh is fair.
For anthracite coal there is better de-

OF Southern iron continue large, and
prices OF pig iron at Pittsburgh are
rather lower; but the Thomas Iron Com
pany has advanced Its quotations to Sl7

structural and plate iron, and a tenth Of
a cent better for bar iron, while the
larger demand for steel rails has so stiff
iened the price that SOS Is now quoted,

necessity Of rebuilding works, bridges

Commodore Asa Booth, Of the yacht

Pitcher England did very manly
thing last evening. He went TO the d.

weeks that he might 60 bone and recu-
perate. He said he was sick and must

recently, in which he allowed the Mans
field club only two hits, he says that he
over-strained himself and that he has
been sick ever since, and that while at
second base in yesterdays game, aiterhe
had knocked out his two.bagger, he
nearly tainted from the effects OF the
exertion in running. He said he real.
iaed that the Wheeling club was
rapidly losing Its patronage, and that the
reason was that the pitchers, with the
exception OF Kennedy, were not equal
to the strength Of opposing teams. He
also said that II while he was oil the

in signing him. This action Of England's
is about as decent a thing as player was
