SOUTHERN FURNACES BUSY.
The Heaviest Production Ever Known in

The Heaviest Production Ever Known in
Alabama Now Under Way.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Sept. 25.-tSpecidl. 1--For
the first time in the history of the Birming-
ham district all the furnaces are in blast
but one, making the heaviest production
ever known in Alabama. The feeling is
more hopeful than for II months, and for the
first time in that long period of time furnace
owners feel that they occupy vantage
ground. They have contrived by making
concessions to dispose of the large output,
and the now expected rise will find them
we'll sold up.
They are now refusing to sell much ahead
at the top of the market quotations. In
quiries are more numerous than for long
while past, and ready sales give coloring to
the hopes of producers. Whether the hope
full feeling that prevails derives anything
from the buoyancy of temper natural to the
latitude or not, the quotations given out
have not advanced, being still at the old
figures, as follows. f. o. b. at the furnace: No.

A DEMAND FOR IRON.
In Some Lines 1t Is Unprecedented in the
History of the Market.

History of the Market.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Especial l-Rogers,
Brown & c., say: The iron market shows
further signs of Improvement. The demand
for foundry iron among makers of stove
plate is unprecedented. Although the week
ly pig iron production is within fraction of
the highest point ever reached, yet the accu-
mutation of iron on hand at furnaces is not
very large, and furnaces seem indifferent
about selling very far ahead at present
prices.
II the railroads had the money topurchase
much need, d rails and equipments we would
have n veritable boom. They will hardly be
in shape to buy before next spring.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 25. -tSpecidLl - Rogers,
Brown & ,deacham say: No change worthy
OF note has taken place in the pig iron mar
ket during the past week. The orders that
have been placed since our last report have
been small and for prompt shipment. The
demand for old car wheels is quite liberal,
which has caused an advance in price of
about 81 to 81 80 per ton during the past two
weeks. The Southern furnaces are now
more firm in their views, and we do not
think that prices which were quoted ten days
ago could be obtained now. We quote for
cash (. o. b. st. Louis:

Finished Iron and Steel in Demand.
The demand for all descriptions of finished
iron and steel continues active and seems to
be on the increase, last weeks prices being
steadily maintained. From all we can learn
there are strong evidences of a revival Of
the steel rail trade; inquiry is more active
and orders for several round lots are said to
have been placed. News from the Mahon-
ing and Shenango Valleys shows that fur
naces are generally running to their full
capacity: prices there being steadily main-
tanned. Scrap material was in good de-
mand, No. l Il. r. being most fancied, S1elp
iron, marrow groOved and sheared iron show
q slight advance: wide Grooved unchanged.
THE LATEST-Sales liberal, but no improve
ment in values. In some instances shading
was resOUted to in order to effect sales. Tho
first sale for 1892 is reported in this issue of
THE DISPATCH. Sales of scrap material
lags. Skelp iron steady with sales of several
round lots. The settlement of the Moor

prove business in the near future.

FRIDAY, Sept. %, 1891.

OEF1CE BITTSBUR H,
FRIDAY, Sept 25, 1891
RAW IRON AND STEEL-Trade for the
week shows no improvement in values, in
fact the very reverse. In certain kinds a
weaker feeling prevails and in order to
effect sales shading" was resorted to to
bring in new business. There is lack of
confidence among dealers that interferes
materially with business. 1t will be some
time before confidence can be restored to
the place it held before the late failures
were made public. As usual wide differ
ence of opinion exists. Some contend that
the lowest prices have been reached and
that the next movement will be favorable
to furnacemen. Others advance arguments
showing that the large amount of produc-
tions will still force prices TO a lower figure.
In support of the first theory certain
furnaces have withdrawn their stocks from
the market and refuse to accept prices cur
rent at present.
The Last Surprise Unimportant.
An Eastern paper has this to say: "The
announcement that one of the largest and
Oldest Pittsburg concerns had been obliged
to ask an extension from its creditors has
had little effect upon the trade, for the con-
dition of this firm had been known for sew
erai weeks to those who had intimate busi-
ness relations with the company. The
causes of this embarrassment are more per-
sonal than general. and this event can
hardly be ascribed to the general condition
OF trade"
The very latest in regard to this firm is
that matters are progressing faVorably to q
satisfactory arrangement, and that the near
future will see it in good shape and doing
business a. usual. comparison of prices
for September 1890, shows the following:

An Indian Indicted for Murder.

Boise CITY, Idaho.-TSpecisl telegram
TO The HERALD. The United States
grand jury to-day brought in an indict-
ment for murder against one Baptiste, an
Indian from Fort Hall reservation, charg-
ing him with inficting wounds upon an
other Indian named Pag White, from the
effects Of which he died. Pag White is now
a good Indian. He was, in his lifetime a
very bad one. What led to the assault of
Baptiste upon him was that he ATTEMPTED
to steal a quarter of beef from Baptiste's
butcher wagon. He ordered the thief to
drop his plumber, and on his refusal to do
so, beat him with a club. In the course of
a few days Pag White departed for the
happy hunting grounds and Baptiste was
held for murder. The murdered Indian
was the one who led the ghost dance among
the Fort Hall Indians last winter He was
fanatic of the worst kind, ana his taking
off cannot consistently be viewed as a pub
lie calamity.
Mr.. S. G. Fisher, agent of the Fort Hall
reservation, who is In this city attending

Another cold wave struck our town on
Friday, the 18th inst, but this time the
wind came from the east, CARRYING with it
such quantities of sand as to make the at
mospbere quite dense and nearly obscuring
the suns rays. This was followed by a
blizzard from the west on Saturday and
Sunday last, accompanied by sheets Of
binding snow. The ground is now covered
with snow, and in some places drifts of

NEW CONSTITUTION,
adopted by the Constitutional convention
on Friday, October 2, 1891, and voted for
by the citizens on December l. Out of the
1l6 votes cast in this precinct, 112 were in
favor of adopting the constitution. We
consider the constitution good one and
that 1t will command the respect, best con-
sideration and support of all good Ameri-
can citizens of the territory.
ECONOMY IN STATEHOOD.
Nevada, the Sage Brush state, which has
been ridiculed by stump orators and politi-
clans, collects from her citizens a tax of
only S2.O513 per 500, and her total expen Sc
for state government is S472,65 while in

erty, and total tax of S90S, ORB. 81. Apache
county alone pays $40, 373.42 annually, and
yet, in years past, the county has been
liable several thousand dollars.
No amount of sophistry will conceal the
fact, that territorial government is very
expensive and inadequate to the need Of a
free and progressive people, and every true
American citizen will hail the day with Joy
when it may be said, truthfully, "These
are the United States of America
There are many undeveloped resources
in this territory, waiting for capital and
energy to develop them; and there are here
many openings for young men, who are
willing to suffer the privations incident to
new country, that cannot be found in
older settlements.
The sheep industry is rapidly advancing
in this county, and promises those who are
interested splendid returns for their money
and labor.
More settlers are needed here tc
strengthen the towns, and those who are
willing to work may make comfortable
homes. J.W. BROWN.

John Davies, Mining Expert, Dead.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-Johu Davies, one of
the best known mining experts in the west,
died in this city last night of pneumonia
Davies made and lost several fortunes in
in Colorado and California. He died
almost penniless. He originally owned the
Little Chief mine. near Leadville, which
he sold about ten yeers ago for half a
million. 1t was afterwards sold again for
five millions. One of his intimate friends
said no one could deceive Davies on mines,
but money slipped through his fingers as
soon as he got it. Cards ana speculation
are said to have been The main cause of his
losses. The story is still told in Colorado
of poker game in which he lost $50, 600 in
one night and next night won it back and
$4,000 more. He gave great sums to char
liable objects. At one time owned con-
siderable property on Yuba river, in Cali
