The Post says: The prospect of diminishing

next ten days probably has the most important
effect in causing reaction In price, The
Treasury officials have decided that the law re-
quires them to buy 4,500,000 ounces in the
month from August 13 to September ID. Up to
last night $4,000 ounces had been purchased
under this requirement. or at the rate of nearly
100000 ounces Per day, thus leaving only 100000
ounces or at the rate of less than an average
of 100000 per day for the purchases Of the next
ten days. In fact, while il is optional with the
Secretary whether he will purchase any of
this 100000 ounces before the last day of the
month to September 13. the law is also manda-
tory he shall buy the remaining 100000 ounces
by that time, and he would naturally want to
do so before the end of the time in order to es-
cape the possibility of an insufficient amount
being offered for sale on the last day.

fair supply and demand is good. Potatoes are
steady at quotations. There is good supply
and fair demand in poultry lines. Choice

Creamery butter gives signs OF weakness. and
jobbers would, no doubt. be willing to shade

continues firm. with the drift of markets up

and oranges are very firm, with the tendency
toward higher prices.

While borrowers were not clamorous for &C.
commodations yesterday, considerable money
was let loose in the regular business way. The
supply was more than equal to the demand,
and the banks we're stronger when the doors
closed than when they opened. Checking was
liberal and deposltlng heavy. Rates were
steady and unchanged. Exchanges were S27li-
6O8.% and balances S4l60l6.06.
A bank officer spoke thus: "Financier Par
sous,.of ST. Louis, struck the right word in his
address at the Bankers Convention when he
said the silver law should be given chance to
show how it will work, as agitation of the Ques-
ton would do harm to the country. Conf
dences and stability are the principal support
ers of business. These are destroyed by con-
slant tinkering with finance and tariff. IL
don't matter much what the law is If Congress
will only let 1t stand. II let alone business will
take care of ITSELF"

rrtc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.i
scorrpALE, September A-The coke trade
continues in the same condition as noted for
the past month or more The demand for the
production is quite extensive, but the barrier is
in the shortage of coke cars. Considerable
anxiety is manifested regarding the outcome
of the car failure. This failure, which has
been on fer three or four weeks, has been very
detrimental to the coke market.
The car supply is the great disturbing factor.
Western coke consumers are feeling the effects
of it keenly, since several of them report
a shortage of coke for consumptive require
ments The impaired car supply is not con-
fined to any road and at the present time is
perhaps the greatest on the P. r. r and B. & o.
lines. Although there is deficiency the Lake
Shore road is meeting the demands fairly well.
Coke is still accommodating on many of the coke
yards. A temporary ruspension is threatened
at several of the plants If the car supply does
not soon improve. They will restrict produc-
tion entirely rather than have the yards
crowded with stock coke.
The Frick Company has fair run of cars
and are materially aided by the large number
of individual cars which they put in service
few months ago. Some of the companies will
limit production by cutting down the number
of operation days per week. The coke trade
last month. on the whole, was excellent. Ship
ments were diminished considerably by reason
of the scant car supply, but still very credit
able showing was made. Nearly 100000 tons of
coke were disposed Of. Western and Eastern
shipments were quite large
The works are still operating five and six
days per week. During the last week the re-
sumption of many ovens which have been out
of blast for several months mas been noted.
There are about $500 inactive ovens in the
region. The Standard plant of the Frick Com.
pany, embracing 9O7 ovens. was closed down
last Friday. Other idle ovens will likely be re-
sumed to offset its idleness. Shipments last
week averaged about 9S3 cars per day against
1,l2l cars of the previous week. or an all round
decrease of $40 cars. Shipments west decreased
600 cars. Pittsburg shipments increased 100
cars. and Eastern shipments decreased l25 5cars.
The following was the distribution: To points
west of Pittsburg 8, 400 cars; to Pirtsburg and
river points, l400 cars; to points east of Pitts
burg. ], 100 cars; total, $500 cars. This was the
previous weeks record: TO points west of
Pittsburg 1000 cars; to Pittsburg and river
points, l,5OO cars; to points east of Pittsburg,
!. rs cars: total 6, Us cars.
Prices for coke are as follows: Furnace coke,
81 Is: foundry 81 IS; crushed, So 65; all f. o. b.

RIVER INTELLIGENCE.
Another Old. Timer Makes His Last Trip
Other News From the Wharf,


The talk of the steamer Joseph Nixon being
sold by the Marshal was revived again yester-
day on the river front, and no one was encount-
cred who would contradict the report. When
the boat went down THE DISPATCH stated the
Marshal had seized the boat for the salary of
her commander, Captain n. Wishart. His claim
was withdrawn. but several others were put in
since. 1t is likely that the boat will be offered
for sale next week. Several parties are en-
deavoring to secure the Nixon, but have not had
the opportunity so far.
Expressions of fregret were heard coming from
rivermen at the death of another old-time river
man. Captain Samuel W. Hendrickson, which
occurred at his home in Elizabeth on Wednes-
day night. He was one of the pioneer river
men. having engaged in that pursuit 40 years
ago. being in service continually. He was known
by river men from the headwaters to the Gulf
Flags were placed at half mast in1respect to
the dead captain and bis boat, the Elizabeth,
was covered with streamers of Grape. He will
be buried from his late home at Elizabeth to-
day.
Several boats with their tows Of empty barges,
ran aground outside the dam Yesterday, on
account of the low water. Half of the wickets
were raised yesterday, keeping the water on
the three-foot mark all day. All the wickets
will be up likely, to-day. Packet business was
. trife dull during the day.

EAST LIBERTY LIVE STOCK.
Cattle Generally of Poor Quality-Receipts
Of HoRs Larger.

Weighmaster Dunkeld is absent from East
Liberty yards in search of health and rest. and
therefore cannot furnish the amount of live
stock receipts and sales for the week. The
number of cattle on the market varied yery
little this week from last. The total number
on sale was above 800 head, and quality was
generally poor. Receipts of hogs were above
late average There were l3709 head sold
against II l6S last week and S29S for the week
before. Sales of sheep and lambs were 9.28
head against 5, ,z40 head last week. There being
no prime beeves on the market this week prices
are hardly quotaoie 5000 stock held up well
weaker and slow. There were no strictly prime
beeves on the market in car load lots Sheen
and lambs were off 10 to l5c from prices of last
week. Hogs were very firm and corn fed are
higher. Top price at Chicago this morning was
81 so per 100 lbs.
