AN EARTHQUAKE SHOCK Felt Over a Large Area of the
 United States, BUT NO REAL DAMAGE DONE The Shock Was FerceptabIy Felt Throughout
 This State, AND ESPECIALLY so AT 6ADsDEN The Seismograph at Washington Recorded the Shock Which Lasted About 45
 Seconds-Some Chimneys
 Toppled Over.
IND ESPECIALLY so AT 6ADsDEN

Washington, Oct. 31-The seismograph at the weather bureau headquarters re- corded an earthquake shock of at least 45 seconds duration here this morning, com meneing at three minutes and fifteen sec ends after 6 o'clock. The instrument is rot sufficiently elaborate to indicate the exact extent of the vibrations or their direction and makes no distinction be- tween tremors in vertical and horizon tai planes; but Professor Marvin, the expert in charge, says there is no doubt from the duration of the shocks, as shown by the instrument, that they were of sufficient violence to be plainly percepti- ble. This is borne by the fact that a number of Washingtonians discussed the novel sensations they experienced early this morning, long before it was gen. orally known that a seismic wave had traversed a considerable area of the United States. In many houses dishes were broken and pictures fell from the walls, but as far as can be ascertained no damage has occurred to any public or private properties
 The scientists of the naval observatory find that no magnetic variations accom- panied the earthquake this morning. The exceedingly delicate instruments of the magnetic laboratory, which in times or solar disturbances show minute details of the disturbances, have been unaffected by any unusual influence in the past twenty-four hours. The observatory be- ing designed soley for securing accurate time for nautical purposes, has no means of Investigating the terresterial phenom- ena.

JHE IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Southern Producers Are Showing Their Sense by Not Cutting Prices in Order to sp,n Get Business.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 31.-The Iron Trade Review says today:
 Buyers and sellers in all departments of the iron trade are scanning developments closely. On the one side the drawing out of the present interval of quietness week after week is taken as a reason for fur ther waiting the view of buyers being that the market will eventually fall off The waiting attitude is noticeable among the buyers of foundry iron. Furnace men have an opportunity to know that the consumption is heavy and there is an urgency about shipping orders, indicating that very little iron is being carried in foundry yards. They affirm that furnace yards are kept clean. and that therefore when the present contracts run out, as many will In the next two months, there will be a simultaneous effort to cover that will take prices above the. level. Southern producers of pig iron seem to agree In refusing to make any attempt to get business by shading currentsuuo- tations. There are reports of a firmer feeling in some finished material lines. particularly plates While steel billetS are weak. the market for steel bars does not appear to have shared in the feeling. Billets and Bessemer pig have parted. oSmpany, and the $7 difference has shrunk to $5.50. The moderate sales of Bessemer at Rittsburg and the quick re- sponse of prices were followed by aqotfer relapse, and quotations of s15 valley fuf- mace were made without transactions. demand being light while the supply of November and December steel is great CT than had been counted on. with very dull market, $21.25 Pittsburg and $21.b0 Cleveland are quoted.
