TIGHT MONEY.
The Cause Attributed TO the Lockins Up of
Large Sum-The Pressure Re-
moved-sensation Ia Chicago

Gas-Railroad War.
NEW YORK. June 27.-The temporary string
ency in money rates yesterday is explained by
the maturing of obligations requiring the lock-
ing up Of 81 600 for the day, and to-day there
was an easier feeling in the market, notwith-
standing that the bank statement is expected
to be rather unfavorable tomorrow, and all
call loans run till Monday. There were no new
features of special Importance il the railroad
situation, although Chicago specials reported
that everything had been arranged for the
restoration of freight rates throughout the
West and Northwest.
The influence of this announcement was
fairly overcome by the continuance of the
Illinois Central strike. Notwithstanding reports
that there would probably be an end of it to-
day. The dealings in railroad stocks were COM
pletely ecipsed in interest by renewed sensa-
tion in Chicago Gas, in which the transactions
ran up to very large figures while the most
pronounced strength was displayed by the
stock.
The upward movement was accompanied by
rumors that the Charlton suit had been dis
missed and the receiver discharged, while other
reports Stated that Charlton would have an in
junction against the payment of any dividend
or moneys belonging to the different CON-
panies composing the trust. The adverse re-
ports however, seemed to have but little effect
as the stock rose per cent to 577s. yielding
only small fractions upon pressure to sell.
Sugar was unusually dull, and the transactions
in the unlisted department reached the smallest
figures for any full day for long time. the in
terest in the trading being small and the
fluctuations on a similar scale. In the regular
list ST. Paul, Atchison. Reading, Richmond and
West Point and Louisville and Nashville were
most prominent, but the dealings we're COM
parativ ely light, while they were traded in over
. small range. Among the specialties there
were a few marked movements. and Hooking
Valley Evansville and Terre Haute and
LAclede Gas made sharp advances on compara-
lively large trading for those stocks. Late in
the day money again was forced up toan exor-
bitant rate. and the effect was seen in the grad.
ual wIping out of the early improvement in the
general list though no material downward
movement was scored. The evident disposi-
tion of the local operators owing in great part
continue for some time, ID to hammer the list,

STEEL RAIL PRICES
Keep on Advancing in spite Of the Thrent-
ened Tariff Reduction.

ened Tariff II Reduction.
ESPECIAL TEL EGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
PHILADELPHIA. June 2Z-The iron and
steel makers are really looking very compla-
Gently on the struggle Of Congress with the
tariff bill. In the face of proposed reduction
in duty on steel rails, which the makers say
will be ruinous, prices march upward. The
principal local concern engaged in steel rail
making to-day accepted an order for 90 tons
of rails at SS3 50 per ton at the
ing that $50 was regarded as an
outside not long ago. The steelmakers are
crying for free ore. They say they have
steelmaklng, and the only product of any con-
sequence suitable for their purpose is that OBJ
tanned from the Lake Superior mines.
The freight charges upon this ore after it leaves
the lake. to points in Eastern Pennsylvania is
greater than the ocean freights upon ore from
Spain. Africa or Cuba. If ore is admitted free
the steelmakers will not object to a reduction
of the duty on rails There is a very fair pros
pect of more English millions being invested
in the iron industry in America. Having OBJ
tanned options on half dozen mills and fur
naces in the MahouiDg valley in Ohio number
of Youngstown men have gone to England to
dispose of their privileges to syndicate.
Trade in pig metal is fairly active. One
prominent company reports large orders Tor
irons are well cleaned up at SIS for No. and
Sl7 for No. az tide. Bessemer pig iron is
nominal at $50 so per ton at the furnace. Hot
blast charcoal is worth S2l 00622 so, and cold
blast S2662S per ton delivered. Muck bars are
advancing, and are firmly held at SIS 80 per ton
at the mill. Old rails are worth S24 756
Is in this market Bar iron is steady. 1t is ex-
pected that a number of mills will shut down
this week until after the holidays. The best re-
fined bar iron is quoted at lS0GlS5c per pound.
Skelp mills well supplied with orders and
are placing their products on a basis of L75c for
grooved delivered and l9562c for sheared.

FALLING OFF IN VOLUME.
Orders Are Now slower but the Furnaces
Are Booked Away Ahead.

Are Booked Away Ahead.
tsrEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHI
BIRMINGHAM ALA, June T.-There has
been a continued falling off in the volume of
business since last week and very little iron is
being sold now. The furnaces have about all
they can do to fill orders for June delivery
which were booked sometime ago, and they are
not trying to sell any iron for future delivery
Threatened labor troubles prevents the making
of contracts just now, and may result in tn
shutting down of several furnaces. The Eu
reka furnaces, at Oxmore went out of blast last
week for repairs and to await the result of
the labor question. The Trussville furnaces is
out of blast on account of slight accident
and one OF the furnaces OF the Sioss Iron and
Steel Company is being repaired.
July is the date for making new contracts
with the coal miners and coke drainers and
there has been some talk of feeling of dis
content which may result in a strike. A sliding
scale. based on the price of iron. has been paid
the miners in this district for two years. A
few Of them object to this arrangement and
want an advance, regardless of the price of
iron. No advance will be granted, and there
may be some temporary trouble at some of the
mines, but the conservative element among
the men will be able to prevent a general
strife.
Iron men do not care to make prices or con-
tracts until these labor questions are settled
for L months by new contracts with the men.
There has been no change in prices since last
week, and the only trading is few small orders
for immediate delivery.

There is an abundance of per cent money in
Pittsburg. Notwithstanding the claim of two
three banks to be short. They have been
lending on stock collateral, which cannot be
turned into cash at moments notice except
at a big shave.
Checking went off little yesterday. but de-
posting was well up. This has been the case
for several days, and shows the banks are TAX
ing in more than they are paying out-a condi-
tion the opposite of stringency. While there
is no cheap money-the mere mention OF which
suggests stagnation-all that is required to keep
the wheels OF business in motion can be had at
per cent, which will probably be the ruling
rate throughout the season.

In order to obtain the best results all

as early in life as possible. In some
cases this will be when they are about
two weeks old. The time Of teaching
them to eat will vary. The size of the
litter in some cases, and in others
the amount Of the milk given by the
dam, will govern it. Teaching them to
eat is best accomplished by placing a
small trough out of reach of the dam
and supplying it with warm, sweet,
skinned milk and soaked maize. When
the pigs get fairly to eating be careful
to increase the feed as gradually as the
pigs power Of assimilation increases.
Right here care should be exercised in
feeding the dam. Avoid getting her "off
