CIRCULAR TO SWITCH AND SIGNAL
COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS.

They Are Asked to Ratify the Sale OF the
Garrison Alley Property-A Little Boom
in Philadelphia Gas-Duquesne Traction
Takes a Tumble.
There was considerable vigor in stock
circles yesterday-more in feeling, perhaps,
than figures, though, with one or two ex-
ceptions, these had an upward inclination.
Sales were 220 shares of La Noria, Duquesne
Traction and Philadelphia Gas.
The latter was the feature of the day. The
lively biddings showed there we're plenty of
orders for it. 1t was offered very sparingly,
which whetted the appetites of buyers. 1t
sold up "a from the opening and closed Il
better. Orders out for it are said to be all
local, showing that people in position to
know the facts are satisfied with the con-
dition and prospects of the company.
The following circular has been issued
and mailed by the Union Switch and Signal
Company to the stockholders: "The board
stockholders of this company that it is
greatly to their interest that the sale here
tofore made to the Westinghouse Electric
rison alley property, shall be ratified and
consummated, there still remaining in the
hands OF the electric company a large
amount OF the purchase money due and un-
require the payment Of" Proxies and
powers of attorney are requested to sign
such resolutions as may be adopted. The
meeting for this purpose will be held at the
companys office, in swissyale, on Wednes-
day, September 16, at 10 o'clock A. NJ.
Duqesne Traction lost more OF its grip,
selling down to l3l5, the lowest since it has
been traded in. This was probably due to
reports that the company is making very
little money, if any. Though, in the absence
of a statement, how this could be ascertained
is something of puzzle. The bears must
stay up of nights to watch the cars.
Citizens Traction was another weak
brother declining to 63 bid at the last call.
Pleasant Valley improved fraction.
Luster was as sensitive as usual. Almost
every breeze from the Southwest affects it.
Yesterday was good day for it, there being
considerable inquiry to whice there was no
response The close showed a gain of "a on
the opening price. News from the mine was
favorable. Switch and Signal was trifie
stronger. Electric received no attention.

say: While there is general complaint about
duilness in the iron trade, yet a review of
the past weeks sales shows a large number
of orders and fair aggregate of tonnage.
The resumption of work in Western Penn
sylyania, Eastern Ohio and Illinois has in
creased The stocks of coke iron quite largely
during July, but this had little effect on
prices. Many of them are making Bessemer
iTCn on contracts, or for use in owners mills,
go that but a small part of the product is
thrown on the market. An inquiry for q
round lot OF Bcssemer for scattered delivery
over q months showed that most producers
would not accept present prices for ship
Dlcnts SO for ahead In Southern coke iron
there is considerable irregularity. Most of
the AiabalnR and Tennessee furnaces claim
year, hut there are some willing to accept
low oilers to move accumulated stocks
promptly.
Predictions are not of much value but we
heard the opinion that the consumptive
demand for Southern iron will continue to
keep pace with production during the
autumn months and values will vary but
little. IL Is stated that the Trussville fur
mace has been leased by well-known iron
men and Will soon be placed on the active
list. The weather has boen favorable for
crops. and outside of Wall street the general
conditions are encouraging for a large busi-
ness this fall.

OFFICE OF PITTsBURG DISPATCH
FRIDAY, August II. :
RAW IRON AND STEEL--This week will
20 on record as the dullest Of the year.
Sales were few and wide apart. The dull
ness is attributed TO the fact that iron men
are still absent on vacation, and large
amount of the material sold during the last
two months mas not vet been delivered, so
that when operations commence in the fall
consumers will have a sufficient supply on
hand to last until other purchases can be
made. The building strike, too, no doubt
tended TO cut down sales, as the big build
ings DELAYED thereby would have consumed
e large amount. Prices of leading articles
are certainly weaker than at date of last
report. Consumers, having good stock on
hand, can afford to wait unless sellers are
disposed TO make concessions. On the other
band. many furnaces, more particularly in
the Mahoning and the Shenango regions,
have sold largely for later delivery and are
inclined TO hold for present rates. At the
same time reports are going the rounds that
gray forge and Besseme- pig have been
offered at a decline. SO far we have been
unable to find authority for such rumors.
stocks of iron in first hands are increasing.
The amount OF pig on hand July l was about
1885, 600 tons; amount August ], estimated,
26i 200 tons; July increase, 81, 100 tons. The
sCrplus Is accounted for by the fact that
number of works that have been closed for
srOcktalIing and repairs have not yet started
up. When they do accumulated stocks will
soon disappear. Speaking of the Eastern
iron trade a well-informed dealer had this to
say:
"IIG IRoN-There has been considera BILE
inquiry during the week. With bids for large
lots provided sellers would shade prices
about p cents per ton. 1t may, therefore, be
regarded as an established TACT that the tide
has turned, that business is already on a
larger scale and that consumers have con-
fidence enough to bid for iron in good round
sized lots. Compared with the position dur
ing June and July, this Is certainly an i'm
Drovement, but how much further it will be
carried remains to be sc en-
The STTUATIoN-Owing TO the absence Of so

amounts We heard of an offer of SIS IS cash

matter under cons.dera tion. Other parties
are holding out for SIG. Steel slabs and
billcts are n shade weaker. Muck bar, de-
mand restricted and prices weaker. Other
articles show scarcely any change. The
general opinion is that the first OF Septem-

Stocks Gradually Gather Strength. the Few
Weak Issues Being Left to Themselves
London Selling of the Leading Shares
Western Buyers in the Market.
NEW YORK, Aug A.-The stock market hes
itated for some time to-day, but gradually
gathered strength while broadening on t con-
siderably. The Changers and Western stocks
in general, however, monopolized all the in
terest in the market, and one of the most en-
couraging signs of the times is the appear
ance of the Western operators in the mar
ket as buyers of their favorite stocks, al
though none of them at present are specially
prominent in the dealings, the operation
being well distributed over the list.
Union Pacific was still less prominent in
the dealings to-day, and, being firmly held i'll
the neighborhood OF 35, the inference is that
its prominence tor the time being and its
deterrent effect upon the speculation is
over for the present. Louisville was the
there was considerable buying or it to cover
shorts London was seller, and it was
heavy to weak ut first though later recover
ing somewhat. The London selling in this
the disposition in the street is to attribute
its comparative weakness to the marketing
of a portion of the new stock, which is be-
lieved to be rather difficult task.
No change was seen in the tenor OF the
crop advices, and the movement OF the
gram market, together with the heavy ex-
ports, encourage growing bullish feeling,
especially on the Changers, and any stock
which develops special weakness is apt to
be left to itself, while the frnmess of the
general list remains undisturbed. Less talk
Is heard about Union Pacific affairs, and the
street is content to await the action to be
taken next Tuesday at the meeting OF dl-
rectors appointed Tor that time.
The Willard stocks to-day became promi-
nent for strength, and Northern Pacific pre-
ferred scored u handsome gain for the day,
Notwithstanding that the statement showed
loss in earnings. One explanation of the
upward movement however, is made on the
hypothesis that the company is buying the
stock with the proceeds OF the land sales.
The market finally closed dull but firm to
strong at about the highest figures. The
transactions foot up 205, 800 listed.
Railroad bonds showed moderate volume
of business but the Atchison incomes were
again prominently active, and furnished
