ported by reduction of "a. 600 tons in
stocks of pig iron unsold, but the fact
that the great steel companies have taken
large quantities. which are not included
in the official statement, renders the ac-
count of stocks less valuable. The mar
ket for finished products is little
weaker, with indications of hesitating on
the par. of the buyers at Philadelphia
and Pittsburg, although prices are, on
the whole, fairly maintained. There is q
great pressure for delivery of structural
products and plates, but bar iron is still
quoted at Pittsburg at Los and tank steel
at l.l9. The rapid shipments of Mar
quette ore during thu past week have
some influence upon prices of bessemer
products. Nothing of importance has
occurred in the minor metals. though tin
has been stronger at times. with London

the report of a big sale of lake at l24.

LONDoN'S WATER SUPPLY.
Eight Hundred Thousand Houses SUP
piled Daily.

Piled Daily.
The whole of Greater London. cover
ing an area of $50 miles, is supplied by
these organizations, whose powers and
districts are defined by law. The six
Thames companies are allowed TO draw a
maximum supply of 10000, 900 gallons a
day; the East London is allowed to take
80, 600, 900 gallons, and the New River b.
800, 900 gallons day from the Lea; the
rest comes from the chalk wells; there is
also, however, a supplementary supply
drawn by several companies from the
gravel beds by the side of the Thames,
and in time of flood or drought this
natural store is very useful. In March
last year 10000, 900 gallons OF filtered
water were required every day for the
supply of London. which gave an aver
age of thirty-three gallons to each person
in the area of supply for drinking. do
mestic and trade purposes.
But in Marcel last the consumption had
increased so greatly that the daily total
was 220,000,000 gallons, or torty gallons
per head. Every drop of the water has
been carefully purified, with the excep-
ton of that from the wells. For this pur-
pose the companies have La filter beds,
covering 1114 acres. Every company, ,eX-
cept the Kent, has storage reservoirs, in
which water is kept in readiness for
emergencies. There are storage reser-
voirs for unfiltered water, covering 474l
acres, and holding about 1,2S0, 600, 900
gallons, and sixty filtered water reser-
voirs holding 2l7, ,0O0, 900 gallons. That is
to say, If every sourse OF supply were
cut of, London would have enough water
in store for "a little moro than week.
The pumping operations represent an
enormous expenditure of force. The
Southwark Company, for instance,
pumps Il, ,000 900 gallons every day "a dis

REVIEW OF TRADE.

Wheat Crop Larger Than the Agri-
cultural Department. Estimated.
NEW YORK. Sept. 13.-R. G.. Dun lS
CO.. IN their weekly review OF trade, will
say:
a slight setback, which may mean
much or nothing, according 10 the final
outcome of the crops. is not unexpected
at this season. If the Government crop
reports were correct the situation would
not be encouraging. But not much con-
fidence Is placed in the reduced estimate
OF corn, none at all in the estimate OF
wheat and even the most enthusiastic
bulls do not think il worth while to quote
the Government report as to cotton. Tho
tact is, that we are not being served prop
erlY in the matter Of official reports is
sued by the Government. The farmers
are unwisely holding back large pro-
portion of the corn crop.
The commercial stocks of cotton Sep
fember lst here and abroad amounted 10
2. IOO, 53S bales, and domestic mill stocks
were 360.6iS bales. allowing not = single
bale for increase of stocks at Southern
mills. Prices have settled back a little
during the past week, Notwithstanding
the gloomy department reports.
The wheat crop is evidently larger than
the department has estimated, though no.
-
coming forward with more encouraging
rapidly, no less than 5,773, ,l73 bushels
having been received from Western
points, as against 4, 446,00l bushels for the
same week last year for much larger
crop.
TIE price OF corn has yielded with a
strong prospect of the largest crop ever
grown, and al IS cents at New York, a
large proportion of the crop will be of
little profit to farmers. If we are TO have
a large crop of grain and a small crop of
cotton, it is natural to inier that manu-
facturers may find large transactions at
the West, but not at the South. There is,
in fact, very large demand for goods at
the West, and west-bound shipments are
unusually large, although the east-bound
shipments from Chicago for four weeks
OF August amount to only 210,3lS tons,
against 122, IA for the same week in 1894.

NOT BADLY WANTED.
Two Young Men Charged With Taking

sum of Money Arrested.
A telephone message was received at
the police station last night from San
Francisco requesting the officers of this
city to detain two young men who were
to arrive on the $40 train, for taking 500
from lady named Mrs. Dunphy in the
Bay city. AS soon as they alighted from
the train they were taken in charge by
Officer Higgins and escorted to Chief
Drew's office.
one of the young men was Mrs. Dun
phys son. He admitted taking the
money, but said that it had been put up
as a deposit at a medical college he had
attended, and as he did not pass the ex-
animation he drew the money Gown. He
said his mother has more than 500 be-
longing to him in her possession. 1t was
afterward ascertained that the other
young man was not wanted, and he was
so informed, but he elected to stay with
his friend.
The San Francisco officers were in
formed that in order TO have the young
men held here they would have TO send
up warrant. The reply came in the
form of request to hold them on q
charge of being drunk, but the Sacra-
mento officers responded that that would
be impossible, as the young men were
duly sober.
After awhile there was no sign of any
further advice from San Francisco, and
they were turned loose.
