places for one year, at least. This is

HE hot-blast reducing furnace and
the Bessemer converter are among the
greatest inventions OF all times and
countries. They have rendered the
production Of iron and steel speedy
and cheap. Other discoveries and in
ventions are needed to render these
substances still more useful to the
world. Iron is fast superseding wood
in the construction of vessels and
bridges. Wire has taken the place of
boards and rails in the building OF
farm fences. Iron posts are also fast
coming into general use More build
ings chiefly composed OF iron are being
erected every year. The cheaper iron
and steel become the greater the num-
Der of purposes to which they will be
put.

HE other day gentleman, former
ly president OF n railroad, extricated
with an AK lady briefly restrained of
liberty in railroad train. The report
OF the incident closed with Mr.
Spencer then quietly returned to his
own car" This is not an uncommon
end of like stories. An honest man
returned n purse to lady who had
lost it. She offered and he declined a
reward land walked quietly away"
What is expected under such clrcum-
stances? That, instead OF doing VIII t

summersault or howl or in some other
manner cease to be quiet and become
riotous?

The POnca Indian Lands.

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-On the 24tt
inst. the president signed the procla.
nation throwing the Ponca Indian re-
servation open TO settlement. This
proclamation extends the northern
limit OF the state of Nebraska for a
short distance so as to embrace all that
portion of the Sioux Indian reservation
which really belongs to the state of
Nebraska. but which has heretofore
been included within the state of South
Dakota. The proclamation will add
great many thousand acres to Nebraska
territory and besides serves to bring
within the state as residents thereof a
number OF old soldiers who have beer
living in that country and who have
not been regarded as citizens of the
state. AS soon as the proclamation
was prepared by the interior depart
ment and signed by the president it
was sent to the state department. where
all such proclamations are usually
given out, but for some unexplained
reason the state department is not yet
ready to issue it, nor would they fur
niSh copy of the proclamation for
publication.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Again it is
asserted with the utmost positiveness
that the president intends to call con-
gress together in extra session imme-
diately after tho election. In fact,
those who profess to know all about it
assert that the president refrained from
taking his contemplated ducking trip
because OF his desire to prepare a mes
sage having this object in view, but
absolutely nothing can be learned from
the white house or from any member
OF the cabinet which gives any reason
to suppose that the statement is true.
The president is busy with his cabinet
officers day after day, and the natural
supposition is that ne is preparing his
annual message to congress. OF course
there is the possibility that an extra
session may be held, but the probable
tiles for this are by no means apparent
on the surface although the president
is exceedingly anxious to secure the
prompt passage OF the federal elections
bill.

Recalitrant Reds.

STANDING Rock AGENCY, N D.,
Oct. %. For the past four weeks Sit
ting Bull has been melting the Sioux
Indians in this vicinity to an uprising.
He has excited the sympathics of n
large number of young bucks by tell
ing them the story of his great bravery
in the field OF Custer, and several hun
dren of them had agreed to go on the
war path at his bidding. The old
chiefs, however, sel eral of whom were
in the famous campaign of the Little
Big Horn, offered strenuous objections
to the foolhardy propositions of Taurus
Recumbens and one of them gave up
the plans of the recalitrant reds to
Major Mclaughlin. the agent. Sitting
Bull has just recovered from long
illness and is very ugly but any move
on the part of the aged chief and his
800 or 400 followers would be quickly
checked. Companies & and A, Twelfth
infantry, and troops F and G, Eighth
cavalry. are at Fort Yates and could
probably quell disturbance without
other assistance; but if affairs should
assume serious phase through a gem
eral uprising of the Sioux along the
Missouri the regulars ut Forts Tatten
and Sully could be brought into service
in few hours.

follows: London operations in pig iron warrants
have been on a very moderate scale, but prices
have averaged lower under the weight
OF unfavOrable financial conditions.
scotch sold down to 49s; Cleveland
10 45s Cd and Hematire to Sos lO15d.
" eak bulls have disposed of nearly all their
holdings ana the bulk of the supply is in strong
hands. There is quite large bear account
open. Fresh operations are deferred by the
uncertain financial situation. Consumers are
booking orders for forward delivery. but ship
menus at present are moderate. Makers stocks
stores has been cut down 4433
tons the past week. Additional hematite
furnaces are blowing out, owing to enhanced
cost of production, due to dear fuel. After
temporary recovery, the spot price of pig tin
dropped TO tS9 l0d. Outside Influences con-
tnue to restrain purchases for speculation.
The chief feature of the week has been con-
Uuued liquidation Of cash prompts partly re-
placed by forwards. The quantity thus sold
has been absorbed and spot stocks are small.
The consumption is good.
Copper has been unsettled, with as low as
-54 Is. Cd. reached on merchant bar prompts.
The depression is attributed wholly to the
financial crisis. Largest holders refuse to sell
at present prices, and only small cash lots are
Offering. Consumers are buying for immediate
wants only. Prices for TIN plate are held very
steady. Makers keep well sold up and some
have orders for delivery as far ahesd as March.
Inquiries from America, which have been more
numerous, resulted IN several orders beng
shipping ports are $4,000 boxes, against 800 600
boxes held year ago. Old iron has been in
better demand for home account but there is
very little export demand at present.

MARKETS BY WIRE.
The Downward Movement in the Chicago
Grain Pit Continued-Values Shrink
All Along the Line-Eastern
Advices Cause the Break.


Advices Cause the Break.
CHICAGO-The wheat market started to-day
with an appearance of strength which en-
couraged the bulls to hope that long period of
weakness was about to be succeeded by some
thing more favorable to their interests. The
strength in the end was replaced early by weak
ness and everything on the list closed lower
than yesterday. Wheat left off at 1Ic
decline for May. Corn was 11c lower.
oats &c lower, and provisions suffered
in proportion. The news forthcoming
previous to the commencement of trading gave
no encouragement to the calamity mongers.
With nothing to cause a renewal of the pre-
viously existing alarm, but. on the contrary. SO
much having tendency to restore confidence,
a firm opening to all the speculative markets
was naturally to he expected, and therefore
surprised no one when the opening prices con-
firmed general anticipation. The liquidation
of December wheat appears TO be about over so
far, at least as any great pressure of it is con-
cerned, and the crowd is concentrating in the
May delivery. The premium in favor of the
market showed a tendency to contract to-day,
and for the greater part of the time held about
SIC IN advance OF December.
The opening quotations were: May, 99L C,
and December, 921lc, with some sales at 99Lsc
and 921sc respectively at the same time. Trad
ing was fairly active, DuC enIlTely Tree from the
extreme nervousness which has been character
istic of the business Tor the past week, and
considerable frmness was indicated by an ad-
vance of Lc inside of the first five minutes
May SOLD on this bulge at 9911c and December
at 92s6@9215c. At these prices, which showed
an advance of 315c from the lowest point of
Wednesdays market. there were considerable
offerings to realize profits on yesterdays pur-
chases and it was tempting advance, oc-
curing in SO brief time, for the bears to put
out fresh lines of shorts. On the resulting re-
action May declined to 9S3sc and December to
9l5Sc and this was followed by several fuctua-
tions between the limits of 991ac and SS1Ic for
May, with drop to Csc about II o'clock
The failure OF q stock brokerage firm in
PHILADELPHIA caused the break, which occurred
about IL o'clock, but there was q quick re-
covery Of about Nc. The market showed a
dragging tendency toward the close. and be-
came heavy on rumors of a disquieting nature
regarding the run upon the savings banks in
New York May declined to- 9711c about half
an hour from the close. and December to 9O1Sc
The recuperative power of the market had evil
IDENTIFY been exhausted in the early trading and
the close was at practically the bottom prices
of the DAY.
The corn market showed no traces 1T the
opening of business of the weakness which
prevailed during the greater portion of the
previous day. The extremely light receipts
alarmed the shorts, who rushed to cover as soon
