pected: the demand for structural work is less
urgent, but yet orders encouraging in nu mber.
Besscmer pig is a shade lower, and the ablest OBJ
servers OF the iron market notice there Is glarng
incongruity between pig at Sl2 80, bets at $50 %
and steel rails at S2S.
The boot and shoe manufacturers have quite the
best of at present and the factories nearly all
employed at full time, some OF them having orders
for some months ahead. A slight advance in
womans shoes is the only change made in prices,
but again advance is expected because the mar
ket for leather is much stronger in tone, though
this week unchanged in quotations, while the Chi
cago market for hides is quite excited because of
scanty supplies ana the average OF quotations is
nearly 10 per cent higher. The textile manufac-
turers still waiting, as they have been for
months past. and the extensive curtailment OF pro-
duction does not strengthen prices in the least.

seconds and Manhattan were favorltes of traders
who still control the limited speculation. Sugar
gained nearly two points, moving up to l2s6s on
buying by brokers who it is said, acting for the
Havemeyer ntert st. The recent decline in refined

Bundesrath made number OF bears on the stock
and the short interest was large up yesterday
The rally then and the further advance to-day
rather alarmed the bears, who were among the
heaviest buyers in the closing dealings. Tobacco
