Pittsburg, Pa, Nov, Merchants,
shopkeepers, and officers of savings
banks saw more gold money in trade
today than for several years.
About $4,000 worth of yellow coin
was paid out to city employees. and it
soon found its way into general circu
lation. A number of mills will pay
wages in gold Saturday.
Many of the banks report an increase
in deposits since the election, and some
cashiers said they took in more gold
over their counters yesterday and today
than at any TINA in four or FIVE years
The gold came mostly from people of
small means. Most of them said that
they had boarded it for fear of Bryan's
proposed 53-cent dollars. Now that
the silver issue is settled they are not
afraid to put their money into circula-
ton.
The manufacturers who predicted an
immediate advance in iron and steel
products were good prophets. The
price Of pig iron has already advanced,
and a meeting of the billet pool has
been called for next week. Though it
is not thought that the pool will take

among few brokers that it will.
The pig iron advance, which will re,
suit in hundreds if not thousands of
idle men finding employment, is from
SIl.50 per ton in the Mahoning and
Shenango Valleys to 1925. This
makes the rate in the Pittsburg dis
trict, freight included, about SIP IS.
