NEW YORK. August A-Further improve
ment was noted in the demand for drygoods at
first hands, as a result of the active movement
at the hands of jobbers. Prints of all descrip-
tions were more active with agents and jobbers
alike and in staple cottons there was an I'M
proving tendency all along the line.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THR DIsPArcH.i
NEW YORK, August 14-The Iron Age of
this date quotes the British metal markets as
follows from London: The turn over of Scotch
warrants has been large, and the market has
shown considerable excitement at intervals.
Starting at about 46s. prices moved upward
almost uninterruptedly to AIS. 3d., and after
partial reaction, again advanced to ass. lid.
From the latter point there was decline TO
48s on Tuesday. and sales were made to-
day at AIS 6d.G4SS The rise is attributed
to q rumor that an American syndicate was
buying up warrants with view of controlling
the supply. This rumor, together with
heavy buying on the part of local ''bull'
operators, caused a large amount of covering of
short accounts under which prices were visfbly
affected There has been considerable outside
speculative buying. influenced in part by the
favorable trade turns. Cleveland and hematite
warrants have been strengthened by the rise in
Scotch and advanced to ass and Sos Cd respec-
lively with the trading on large scale.
Improvement in the demand from the United
States and the Continent has impaired ad-
ditioDal strength to the market for tin plate,
and the feeling at present is buoyant. Makers
are advancing prices all along the line and las
Cd is now the lowest quotation for Bessemer
coke finished steels, with las cd generally asked.
A new steel works has been started in con-
nection with the Dyfryn Tin Plate Works at
Swansea. Block tin declined to f94 Is 3d.
and for time the market looked rather
weak, but favorable statistics promoted
buying and prices hardened. Subsequent
realizations checked outside speculation, and
the market has since ruled quiet though ru-
mors are in circulation of an impending new
move by leading operators. Merchant bar
prompts advanced to f5S 5s under demand for
near futures, to cover sales on which deliveries
are falling due. With this demand satisfied
the market is again Quieter, although firm.
The rise in prices has checked the demand
from consumers who consider present prices

Weighmaster Dunkeld, of the East Liberty
stockyards, was absent from his post yesterday

Mr.. Dunkeld has been at his post many year.
and 1t is very seldom that he does not furnish
a complete synopsis of the weeks doings at the
Liberty yards. The run of cattle was very
and markets were active at higher prices. Sales
of hogs for the week were S.3S2 head, against
1885 head last week. Sales of sheep were 6, l85
head, against 55Sl last week.
Our local trade calls for about 1880 head of
cattle weekly. This weeks sales will vary very
little from this figure.

Thi. Rdelwslss recalls far-otf tins
When stood silent on an Alpine peak,
Eternal SHOWS auOTe me aud below,
holt afraid 10 breathe, or move, or speak.
Across clear shining battloments OF ice
A sudden radiant face looked down on me;
And rs we lookei the sunshine cleaned athwart
And We two smiled In slout ocstacy.
Two travellers We met 'mOns the mountain
One from Virginia, one from some far place
Across a narrow gulf Of untold depth
Almost touched hands as We stood face to face.
cannot tell what stirred my spirit then,
What dreams Of beauty all my being filed
No more than nm lEoian harp can tell
Why By tho soft wind 1t touched and thrilled.
One moment moro the vspors from the snow
R0se ike the tissues OF a veil between,
And whom il lifted, twas IN vain looko1-
The ght face was no more where it had
been.
80 sometimes do We rise to passions height
And meet hash from loving, yearning Dyes,
And a look Of sympathy 70 us more dear
Than any other thing beneath the skies
But somehow, something coming In between
Intangible, perhaps, a. mountain mist
Doe not shut OF the meeting OF The eyes,
But the close meeting OF the hearts ia tryst
And then think Of that bright Alpine face
Soul-lt and lovely lOoang down on me,
Aud how the morning sunshine gleamed
athWart,
And how we smiled 10 silent ecstacy.
You may not have a sprie OF Bdelyelss
Hid IN the corner Of your desk away,
But you have memories in your heat mean,
As tender Is the ono found that day.
