Furnaces Are All Stacked up with Mate
rial and Production Is Small.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, July 3.-There issnoth-
ing to report in the situation of the iron
market in this district. Dullness reigns
supreme and furnace owners are not push
ing productions. The furnaces are well
stacked up with material and the railroads
are complaining of the light movement of
material, as well of the pig iron toward the
markets. Orders are slack and everything
is in that waiting condition that has pre-
vailed so long. However, the bright spot in
the situation is the promptness with which
wage earpers have recognized the condi-
tions and signed up the same old scales for
another year. Not a single demand was
made by the employees of any mine or rolling
mill for an increase and on July the yearly
contracts were made.
Prices may be quoted 4. o. b. at the fur
mace: No. ! foundry, $l2 509l2 80; No 2
foundry, s1l 5O912 No. s foundry, slO@ll;
grey forge, 50 15.
Notwithstanding the dullness new fur
naces are going in blast. One blew in at
Sheffield this week, and coke furnace at
Admission will go in in a few weeks. The
charcoal furnaces in the Admission district
are all in blast now except two or three,
after long rest.

MANIPULATED STOCKS.
AT UNAVOIDABLE BANK STATEMENT
HAS NO EFFECT.

The Dullness of the Market Intensifed-A
Steady, Unbroked Rise Throughout the
Day - Sugar Even Helped by the Divi-
dend Injunction-Bonds Dull.
New YORK, July 3.-The day before holi-
day is never one of much activity at the
New York Stock Exchange, and to-day was
an exception to the rule. The dullness and
apathy which have become so marked of
late were rather intensified by the absence
of large number of the regular attendants
OF the Board. Outside of few stocks, which
were moved entirely by manipulation, there
was nothing in the market.

the outgo for the last week, and the surplus
reserve was reduced s.. 009 030 This and the

A BOLD DIAMOND ROBBERY.
1t Is SkiIlfuIly Perpetrated in Nashville
Store In MIDDAY.

NASHVILLE, July Zone of the boldest
diamond robberies ever committed in this
city was perpetrated this afternoon at E.
Wiggers' jewelry store. About o'clock
Mr.. Wiggers and the colored porter were in
the store alone. A young man attired in a
new, fitting suit entered the store and
asked to be shown some silverware Mr..
W.. Wiggers proceeded to the rear of the
store, where the silver case is kept, and
proceeded to show his goods to the Gus
toner. The young man seemed hard to
suit, and after requiring several pieces on
the top shelves of the case to be taken
down, he finally left without purchasing.
Nj. Wiggers walked to the front of the
store and was startled to find one of his
jewelry trays, in which the Jewels are kept
in the showcase, lying under the counter.
Upon examination of the case it was found
that the tray was the one in which the dia-
monds were displayed, and that it was
empty, the entire lot, valued at So, 900, be-
ing gone. Mr.. Wiggers thinks that while
he was waiting on this man his pal slipped
into the store and took the jewelry, empty
ing it into his handkerchief or satchel and
then quietly slipping out.

THE ARCHBISHOP DEFIED.
He Forbids the Soliciting OF Catholic Aims
at the Chicago City Hall.

CHICAGO. July 3.-For some years it has
been the custom of members of the Servite
Sisters and the Little Sisters of the Poor,
two of the charitable orders of the Roman
Catholic Church, to sit in the vestibule of
the City Treasurer's office on pay days and
solicit aims from the employees as they came
out with their pay envelopes.
Yesterday Father Muldoon, Chancellor of
the Diocese, by direction of Archbishop
Feehan, ordered the Sisters to desist from
the practice as unseemly. The Little Sisters
of the Poor obeyed, but the Servite Sisters
denied the authority of the Archbishop, and
one of their number continued to ask aims
at the door to-day. What action the Arch
bishop will now take is not known.

SIX NEW CHURCHES UNDER WAY.
Williamsburg and Vicinity Are Glad tbs
Carpenters' Strike Is Over

Williamsburg and Vicinity Are Glad tbs
Carpenters Strike Is Over.
There are six new churches to be built in
Williamsburg and vicinity this summer, if
present desires can be carried out. They
are as follows: A Presbyterian, at the
corner of Center and South streets; another
Presbyterian at Edgewoodville, for which
liberal subscriptions have been made and
several sites offered; the new U. p edifce
that Rev. Burnett's congregation hopes to
build; the United Brethren, on Cole street,
commenced over two months ago; q Method
ist, to be commenced forthwith, the congre-
CATION having sold its old building to the
Williamsburg Academy, and Baptist, which
will be the first in Williamsburg, the congre-
CATION worshiping at present in what is
known as Academy Hall
The carpenters strike has interfered
materially with church buildings, as well as
all other work of the kind in Williamsburg,
this summer At least four of these six
churches would have been nearly COM
pleted by this time, had the carpenters and
builders remained at work.

YOUNG BAPTISTs GATHERING.
They Are to Organize National Associa
ton in Chicago Next Week.

CHICAGO, July 3.-Advices received by
the committee in charge of the Baptist
Young Peoples National Convention,
which will be held in this city July and 8,
indicate that over 1000 delegates will be
present from all parts of the United States.
Delegations will commence arriving Mon
day morning.
Centuary NJ. E. Church has been rendered
for overflow meetings and rallies. This
national gathering will undoubtedly be the
greatest gathering of Baptists ever held.
A great. deal of interest is manifested re-
garding the adoption of a constitution, some
being in favor of adopting a Christian En-
deavor Association plan, while others de-
sire union of Baptist young people solely
in connection with the church. Indications
point to the latter idea being adopted.

TRADE OF THE WEEK.
Speculation Still Slow, but Legiti-
mate Lines Improving.
THE FEATURES OF LOCAL STOCKS.
Two New Towns Prove That They Have
Passed the Paper Stage.
PUSHING THINGS DOWN THE VALLEY

While speculation has been comparatively
dull during the week and values down from
fractions to points, there has been a distinct
improvement in nearly all lines of general
trade, consequent upon the settlement of the
iron scale for another year and the practical
cessation of the carpenters strike. The re-
moval of these malign influences opens the
way for q forward movement in all the
activities of this city and district.
1t is impossible to keep Pittsburg on her
back. Like Samson of old, she cannot be
bound. The experience of the past six
months illustrates her inherent strength.
Under extremely unfavorable circumstances
she piled up volume of trade larger than
ever before in her history, with the excep-
ton of 1890. Her recuperative power is
also wonderful. The removal of the labor
incubus had scarcely been accomplished
when a change for the better became appar-
ent. People talked with more confidence.
They could see their way clear to the de-
velopment of their pro Iects. There was
better call for money from the mercantile
classes. New enterprises were talked OF.
Architects and builders rallied from their
stupor.
This revolution of sentiment has been the
commanding feature of the week, and If
nothing else of an inspiring nature had oc-
CURED, it would have been sufficient to COM
mand attention and put the people in suit
a Bile frame of mind to properly observe the
nations natal day. But there were other
assuring circumstances contributing to the
general Improvement. The foreign situation
was less strained. The end of gold ship
ments was thought to be in sight. Disburse-
ments of interest and dividends unlocked
millions of money, which will soon be rein
vested. Crop news was uniformly favorable.
There were no bear cards. Signs of activity
were visible upon all sides. Surely this is
glory enough for five-day week, and by far
outweighs any little losses in stocks, which,
at best, cut but a small figure in the business
of the day.

A carved moonstone in the midst of
diamonds set to simulate stars, for the

Designs for the ornamentation of sill

A jeweler recently exhibited ladies'

ANTIQUITY OF CIVILIZATION.
Evidences of Organized States in Prehis-
tOric Times.

Evidences of Organized States in Prehis-
toric Times.
We cannot but be struck with the
immense antiquity of civilization in
western Asia, whence, as center,
trade, art and literature spread west
ward to the Greeks and Italians. and
eastward to India and China. The
monuments show us that at least as
early as $500 b. c. distinct civilizations
existed in Chaldea. in Syria and in
Egypt. 1t is true that the early date
which has been assigned to Menes, by
scholars who reckon thirty years as
the average reign Of an Egg 2tian mon
arch (whereas the dated reigns often
do not exceed five or six, rests on no
secure basis, and eXtravagant estimates,
based on equally unsafe deductions.
have been offered by some of our
cuneiform scholars, who would carry
back Akkadian civilization to 1000 b.
c.; but those eXtravagancies do not dis
credit the facts which are deduced from
better data and which show that
even earlier than the period usually as
signed as the time when the pastoral
Hebrew patriarchs found their way
along the Euphrates and through Syria
to Egypt, there were organized states,
walled towns, chariots and horses,
riches of gold and silver, bronze and
iron, of corn, wine and oil, not only
among the Akkadians and in Egypt,
but also in Phenicia and in Palestine
