ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcR.I
NEW YORK, August 14-The Iron Age
of this date quotes the American metal
markets as follows: American pig-The
market is very quiet on the whole, the
prices made depending very largely upon
circumstances. Occasionally soft spots ap-
pear and cheap lots can be picked up.
Northern No. l iron is relatively plentiful,
and can be purchased at S17 00@17 30 for
good brands. In Southern irons No / and No.
2 foundry are relatively scarce, but
No. soft is in ample supply and can
be bought at SI7 756lS 90. There seems
to be good evidence that at least one large
Southern company is making liberal cuts under
the prices generally supposed to be current in
the Birmingham district. There has been con-
siderable talk in the newspapers during the
past few days, in some cases quite circum-
stantial, concerning alleged movements in
speculative way of an American syndicate in
Scotch warrants There is no doubt that some
time since English spectators looked up the
American market with view to operations in
warrants here, but the narrowneSs of the held
discouraged them.
Spiegeleisen and ferro mangapese--Thereh have
been some small sales both of spiegel and ferro
which we continue to quote $50 00Q30 80 for the
former and 81 OO@72 20 for the latter.
Steel billets-Aside from little lots of small
foreign billets at $50 rs ex-ship, there is no
business of any consequence. 1t is reported
that foreign four-inch square wire rod billets
have been offered as low as SSl, ex-ship.
Wire rods-New YORK importers have made
sales to Canadian mills at private terms. For
American account nothing of any consequence
has been done in foreign, which we continue to
quote. buyer taking risk of duty at S45@46
Swedish fron-Western jobbers are placing
their orders. Assorted sizes, not including
half rounds, half ovals, ETC., are quoted s6997O
eX-ship.
Melting scrap-After long period of inac-
tivity some business has been done in foreign
melting scrap of which moderate quantities
are now coming out. Basic scrap, not guaran-
teed, is quoted at S23 ship, while basIc guar
anteed, phosphorus is held at S2S So
Steel raIls-The market has been somewhat
disturbed during the past week by rumors of
sales at low prices by Eastern mills for West
ern delivery. We have been unable to verify
them. In the market tributary to the Eastern
mills east and south, very little business has
been during the week. We continue as
nominal quotation SS1 0o03l so at mill, but it
is intimated that the former figure could be
shaded for desirable orders.

Millfeed is steady. The late bull movement in
cereals appears to have spent its force, and
buyers are not so eager as they were few days

largely a thing Of sentiment and speculation.
The rise in wheat has substantial basis on

predicted that some of the bulls who have

GRAPES FROM EGYPT.
Fruit Shipped From Southern Illinois to
Eastern Markets.

Among the prominent visitors to our CITY YES.
terday was d. w. Prindle, Esq., President of
tha Fruit Association of Pulaski countv nj.
President Prindle is one of the leading fruit
growers of Egypt" his shipping point being at
Villa Ridge, station on the illinois Central
Railroad, II miles north of Cairo. The section
of Egypt from which he comes is billy. and has
become famous for fruit.
In an interview with Mr.. Prindle Yesterday,
he said: "Our main dependence this season is
on grapes. This is crop which never fails. In
our section all other fruits have tailed this sea-
son with the exception of Strawberries Ordi-
narIly we have big crops of pears, peaches and
plums, but this season we have none and the
failure in these lines extends to ali Southern
Illinois. Our grape crop, however is enor-
mousse large that growers are forced to seek
markets for their products as far East as Pitts
burg. Already IS carloads of grapes have been
shipped East and North from our Villa Ridge
station and as much more remains to be for
warded. We are several weeks ahead of the
season in Northern Illinois, Indiapa and Ohio
and hence are able to get our stuff to your
market at an opportune time. have already
sold two carloads of grapes In Pittsburg and
will have more of the fruit in a day or two
Concords and Ives seedlings are the principal
grape raised in our section. Outside Of fruits
our section is not very prolific. We raise little
corn or wheat. In vegetables lines peas beans
and sweet potatoes are our principal products.
The crops in these lines have been fairly good
this season."

Good Locnl Trading and IN Advance of

Oil was strong and active yesterday, trading
being better than for some time and the feel

NORTH DAKOTAs WHEAT CROP.
The Prospect Improved, but Last Years
Yield Will Not be Rea Ched.

1leI0 VIII NOT De heaChed.
ELLENDALB, N. OAK. August IA. - The
weather las turned cooler, and the later crops
are improving somewhat. The cool nights are
aiding such of the wheat as was not already
ripe last week to fill. The grain that is coming
to maturity slowly will have a much larger and
sounder kernel than that which was forced too
rapidly by the hot weather of the last of July
and the first of August. 1t was found in nearly
every wheat field that had to be harvested last
week that the tops of the heads were not oiled.
Tnis condition makes a surprising difference
and causes great disappointment in the yield
Wheat that appears from the length of the
head and thickness of the straw to be good for
~ to 10 bushels per acre, turns out only to 10
bushels. In such fields the quality Is equally
disappointing Farmers this year are losing
about as much on grade as on yield. Flax as
well as the late wheat is being benefited by the
cooler weather of this week.
Wheat operators on the bear side are trying
yield which are based ON the crop prospects of
month ago The situation in both Dakotas
has been greatly changed since July. The
Dtckey county crop of nearly 10O, 600 acres
promised yield of ], ,250. 900 bushels five weeks
ago. but to-day nobody can In reason estimate
more than 100000 bushels. A similar deprecia-
ton has occurred in Is of the wheatproducing
counties. The half-dozen Red river counties
are fully up to last season. The total YIELD Of
wheat in the State last year was 28 I'll $50 bush
els. fair estimate now would be a reduction
season was II, 287. .4S2 bushels. A reduction of
10000 would be a fair estimate, making a
total reduction in the two Dakotas of Il 100000
bushels.

There was sufficient vim at the stock calls
yesterday to show that speculation is not fat
