were tested yesterday. Captain Markland

next few days. The Charles lutte has also
been In for repairs since the 2Sth of last month
and her boilers we're tested yesterday. She
made her first trip last night going up the
river with big tow of empty fats. Tie lutte
looks greatly improved as result OF her over
hauling and her decks and cabins look bright
and shiny under fresh coat of paint.
Work was resumed yesterday morning IN the
search for the little Stella McClelland, but no
trace Of her was found. However, the cabin
and pilot house came to the surface and were
towed in to shore. The barees under which the
little tug disappeared will be moved to-day.

his lost property.

FRIDAY. October IL, 1891

Supply of potatoes either good or bad has
been light for few days past, and markets are
very firm, particularly for choice stock. Mich
igan is now one of the chief sources of supply.
Sweet potatoes are slow. Grapes are in bounti-
full supply, and markets are weak. The first
arrivals of Catawba grapes are reported within
a day or two, and for the next week or two
Catawbas are expected to have the field. There
is fair supply of apples and prices remain uu-
changed. Creamery butter Is firm at quota
tions, but only fancy brands bring outside
prices New York cheese is firm and Ohio
steady. Receipts of strictly reliable eggs are
very light, and markets are active for all that
can be depended on.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.
A Downward Tendency Shown in the
Market for the Past Week.
MANUFACTURED GOODS ACTIVE.
No Change for the Better Manifested by the
Steel Men.
THE SITUATION AT OTHER POINTS

In the line of raw irons it is impossible to
discover any discouraging features in the
situation. The tendency of markets tor the
week past has been downward. Bessemer
is probably weakest on the list and inside
quotations are said to rule. There are ru-
mors OF mill iron selling below SIS 90 per
ton. One OF our leaIing brokers reports
that he has sold nothing belrw SIS %.
There has been certainly no change or the
better in the iron and steel situation the
past week. Muck bar Is active and firm at quo
tations, and the same is true of finished prod
ucJs in general There is a continued active
market for manufactured iron
Nails are unchanged and markets are fairly
sIeadv Wire nai,s and wire rods are not so
firm as they have been for few weeks past
Rails are quiet at old prices. Blooms and
billets are selling shade below last weeks
quotations.
The buyer of raw iron has the market more
decidedlv in his favor than week ago. Manu-
facturerS are fairly well stocked until the close
of the year. and therefore show little DISPOSE
tion TO buy at this stage of the markets.
Following are latest quotations:
Structural Iron Angles s. 20: ices, 2S5c: beams
and channels, S.loc: sheared bridge plates. STEEL
265c; universal mill plates, iron, 2.S5c; refined
bars &C card.

Philadelphia Reports Present Prices Steady
in the Local Market


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
PHILADELPHIA, October E-In every de-
partment of the iron trade there is feeling of
absolute frmness at present prices, and some
dealers have heen able to realize more or less
of an advance over prices with whi ch the
month OF October was started. The ques ton
with the majority of sellers is how much ad-
vance will the market stand at this time. The
tone of the market is very much improved,
with plenty of orders and no trouble TO sell at
present prices. The passage of the tariff bill has
not as yet had any direct influence on prices.
Pig is quoted at SIS 00@l5 50 for gray forge,
SIC 5OGlF Is for No. 2 and SIS GOALS so for No.
L Bessemer pig is very firm. The fact that
the railroads are holding back orders does not
depress the market. Prices are SIS so at fur
mace for standard qualities, and s2l so for high
grade. Muck bars are scarce and difficult to
get; price $50 SO delivered for future orders.
Bar iron is much drmer. There is scarcity
of business in this department, and all of the
mills are full of work. The quotations are
ls5Gl soc at city mills, and L75GLSOc at mills
in the interior.
Skelp continues in large demand. The story
of the past few weeks must be repeated. The

LARGE BLOCKS SOLD.
Northern and Southern Coke Brands in
Lively Demand.

Lively Demand.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH;
CHICAGO, October 17.-Rogers Brown &
Mervin say: The past week has given active
buying in the Chicago pig iron market, North
ern and Southern coke brands being largely in
the lead. Lots of 500 to 1000 tons have been
freely booked and the result is that the weeks
sales foot up good-sized tonnage. SiIveries and
soft irons have also moved in large blocks, one
or two of the Ohio furnaces having come into
the market and forced sales at from so cents to
81 per ton concession. Southern silver1es are
also selling readily and the demand continues
good in this direction.
There has been some movement of Tennessee
charcoal iron, but for the most part both South
ern and Lake superior cnarcoals have been
quiet. Indications. however, all point to con-
siderable buying of the latter during the next
90 DAYS, and from all appearance some cutting
of prices is likely TO occur. Southern coke
irons however, are frmer in prices. Consump-
ton in all lines is the increase instead of de-
crease, and many consumers are running out
in consequence of the extreme scarcity of cars
at all points. Wequote for cash f. o. b. Chicago
same as last week.

UNDIMINIsHED ACTIVITY

Reported Again in the Iron Business at

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
ST. LOUIS, October T.-Rogers. Brown &
Meacham say: We have again 10 report a fair
aggregate of business during the week and un-
diminished activity on the part of local con-
sumers. The large and surprising reduction in
furnace stocks during the past month is al
ready causing some inquiry in this market for
future delivery a. seems likely to strengthen
prices Southern furnaces are now statistic
ally in a stronger position than at any time
during the year. and an early rise in prices
would scarcely surprise any one, while inquiry
for charcoal iron is limited. The leading fur
naces show DO desire to shade quotations. ONO
BolJerers keep moving about the normal rate

backbone yesterday. being weaker than on the

which seems to be gaining ground. Outside
exchanges were also weak.

-srFCIAL TELEGRAM To THE DTsPArcH.:
CINCINNATI, October Il. = Rogers, Brown
4 Meacham say: A more liberal fow
of orders for pig iron during the past
few days has followed a short period of
dull business during which time there
was some disposition to make low prices by
spectators and new furnaces anxious to intro
duce iron To the trade. Later information
however, tends to belief in a stronger. as
well as a more active market. One of the
