NOT A SINGLE SETBACK
INTERRUPTS THE STEADY UPWARD
MOVEMENTS OF STOCKS.

Dull,

The Forces of Depression Thrown Of-Five
Leaders Furnish Over Half of the Days
Business, but the Other Shares Are Not
Dull.
NEW YORK, Sept 4-The stock market to-
day threw off the forces of depression which
have had the upper hand for the last few
days. and although there was not that broad
ness to the dealings which marked the
former advance, the dealings reached large
number of stocks and the leaders all scored
material gains. The demand for stocks was
so urgent that the shorts vent into cover,
and the buying of this class prevented the
usual reaction in the last hour There was
also, as an Indication of the selling of the
last two or three days, heavy demand for
stocks in the loan crowd, although nothing
commanded a premium for use.
The Grangers were still the leaders of the
market especially in point of activity, but
the Coal stocks came to the front in respect
of the advances made, all of them display
ing the most pronounced strength on a
comparatively moderate business. Many
of the specialties, as usual, scored material
gains, but the general list, as a rule, was
moved in sympathy with the leading shares
within narrow limits.
The opening was strong at advances over
last nights prices of from N to "a per cent,
and the upward movement was Kept going
till the close, no setback of importance
being seen throughout the entire day, and
even particular stocks showed no action
worthy of the name. Five stocks-St. Paul,
Union Pacific, Atchison, Burlington and
Rock Island, furnished over one-half of the
total transactions, but the rest of the list
was not dull, and the business of the day
footed up a respectable figure.
The dealings were unusually devoid of
special feature, the whole list moving in the
same direction with almost equal speed The
market finally closed active and strong at
the highest prices of the day. The ad-
active list, but Lackawanna rose 81; Union
Pacific 25s: Burlington, 21s: Atchison, 2;
Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati an st. Louis
and Rock Island, each ~; Lake Shore and
Northern Pacific preferred, each 1A and the
others smaller amounts.

A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK,
The Feature of the Cincinnati Iron Market
Is Full of Promise.

The Feature of the Cincinnati Iron Market
Is Full of Promise.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 4. Especial i Rogers,
Brown & Co. say: The improvement in gen.
eral trade has not yet been appreciably felt
in crude iron. Nearly all makers are firmly
convinced that there will be an improve
ment later and are indisposed to take for
ward contracts at present low prices. 1t
should be noted that some of the very low
figures that have been mentioned are for
spot delivery and cash, and that the same
furnaces making these figures are holding
stiff for forward deliveries. There is moth
ing in the general situation that is not hope
full and full of promise. If it were not for
the present large rate of production 1t IS
quite certain that iron would begin to move
upward very promptly. As it is, much viii
depend upon the further course of the rail-
roads in purchasing supplies and equip
ment.
In finished iron there is a much more ac-
tive demand. Everything connected with
agricultural work, car work, architectural
work, ETC., is picking up noticeably. The
mills are afraid yet 10 advance prices,
but if the present demand keeps up they will
shortly mark up figures This will give pig
iron a chance. One feature in the situation
which gives promise to all large manu-
facturers in iron is the better demand for
bonds. With railroad and municipal bonds
again moving freely, there would be
marked change in the temper of the iron
trade.

The Drygoods Market.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-There was no change
in the general situation in the drygoods
market. The demand was fair, with good
orders from the more dfstant centers. The
market con tinues steady and cheerful in
tone under the continued advance in cotton
and print cloths. The latter sold today at
1516c, and subsequently manufacturers de-
clined TO sell any more at that price, and
now ask SC, which makes an advance of 10
during the week.

II Still Remains Inactive at the Figures
Heretofore Quoted.

Heretofore Quoted.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Sept. 4-[SpeciGt. J.
There is no quotable change in the local
iron market which remains steady at No.
foundry, sl2; No. foundry, $l1; No. 5
foundry, $40 so: grey forge, 50 Is. Some sales,
however, are now being made at higher
figures than these, but they are also shaded
off to meet the necessity of sales. The con-
dition of the market remains inactive,
stocks about holding their own, with a con-
stant tendency to increase, checked by
forced sales
The event of the present week is the be-
ginning of an increase in the already large
production, caused by the starting up of two
furnaces. No. l at Thomas has just been
repaired after a continuous run of over 1000
days, and blew in on Tuesday. The furnace
at Trussville blew in on Wednesday. The
hone men, who are operating it under a
lease from the stockholders, who are mostly
Northern men, are being backed by Rogers,
Brown & Co., of Cincinnati.

A HEALTHY MARKET.
The Volume of Orders at Chicago Is Steadily
on the Increase


CHICAGO, Sept. Especial l-Rogers, Brown
& Mervin say: The Chicago pig iron market
is in a healthy condition, while no large
amount OF activity is in sight, YET the volume
OF orders placed is increasing, some of these
running well up in size. Small orders are
still numerous, but the week has shown the
placing o. q number of SEQ tons and upward.
Prices remain practically unchanged on
metal Of all classes. There is, however, less
disposition on tho part of furnaces and
sellers to contract for long scattered deliv-
cries at lowest market figures and also less
inclination to sacrifice values, under fear
that other sellers will in the meantime get
all the business going. The market may be
said TO be firm ~ to prices, with the demand
good tor all kinds of coke metal. In char
coal lines one contract OF over LOO tons

from three and four to thirty-fve and forty
pounds each. There will be heavy and

The Colonel Couldn't Play Whist, and

Colonel Theodore Cash is a prominent
Democrat of Clay County. He has repre-
sented his people in the Legislature, and in
the interim sold goods to large constitu-
ency. During the General Assembly of
two years ago the Colonel assisted in the
organization of whist club, and played
against Senator Anderson, who is a foeman
worthy of anybody's steel. One night the
game was progressing closely, and Colonel
Cash CHANGED to be On the losing side.

daggers at Senator Anderson, "to see a
man lead an eight-spOt when he knows his
opponents have neither trumps or larger
cards of that suit '1isn't fair

Senator, sweeping in the tricks. ''Study

said Senator Bybee of Cass, who had been
observing 1t with great deal of interest
"Iain't poker, | knoww

in his own hands.
