The American Manufacturers Weekly Re-
port on the Condition of the Market
Pittsburgh Pa, August 1S.-The
American Manufacturer Will say to-
morrow:
1t may be said that the iron and
steel trade is considerably better this
week than it was at last report. Our
local report shows an Improvement,
and at several ether points prospects
are much more cheering. At Philadel-
phia the most favorable change seen for
years is shown in the spirit of the
trade. Prices remain about the same,
but there was a general looking up in
every direction. Several furnace COM
panies are out of the market for
months to come, and there is a general
feeling that large amount of business
in pig iron will be done during the
neA' Two weeks. Bessemer billet
prices nave avenged suddenly. as
large transactions were elosed. The
merchant bar mills are in better shane
than they have been for months. and
although prices are low, they are not
weak. Skelp has improved, and there
is am unexpected rush of orders for
merch Desl. Structural orders are
fair, a! s. ? piare> mills are expecting
large aace of the big Australian or
der that will soon be plaSed. At New
York there has been no material |
change, but trade is active The Chi
cago markets show more decided
strength, and there are more buyers |
Southern pig iron has made another
advance.
A large volume of business is doing !
in plates and better prices are being |
paid for structural material. large |
tonnage in merchant steel has been |
DISPOSED of and numerous sales of |
black sheets are reported. At Cincin- !
natl the total pig iron sales is more |
satisfactory than for some weeks. |
Southern furnaces have refused orders |
for $500 tons at 500 Birmingham.
The car works are fairly busy a good |
trade in merchant steel is being done,
while galvanized sheets and corrugated (
roofing are in good demand The pig |
iron trade at st. Louis is improving. !
In the Wheeling district the improve
ment continues, but it is rather slow.
There is better outlook for Bessemer
steel and fairly good demand for all
grades of finished ircn is reported.
The demand for skelp is decidedly bet
ter. Cleveland reports sitter prices in

LONDON, August 1s.-M. de Staale, the
Russian ambassador to Great Britain, ac-
cording to a special dispatch from st.
Petersburg, will shortly retire from Lon
Russian ambassador to the United States
WASHINGTON, August 1s-The report
from London that Count Cassini, Russian
ambassador here will shortly be trans
ferred 10 London, excited much interest
in diplomatic quarters, as 1t was felt to
have an important bearing on the Chi
nese question which has recently reached
an acute issue between Russia and Great
Britain. Count Cassini is probably the
best posted man of Russia concerning
Chinese affairs. as he was for five years
Russian ambassador at Pekn. prior to
coming to Washington. II was during
his service at Pekin that Russia executed
the coup of gaining Port Arthur and
part of the Lao Tung peninsula. The
recent clash between Russia and Great
Britain grew out of some of the British
concessions made while Count Cassini was
at Pelin. His transfer to London will
therefore give his government the adj
vantage of having the negotiations with
Great Britain conducted by a diplomat
thoroughly conversant with the condition
of Chinese affairs.
Count Cassini is at present at Nara
gansett Pier and the embassy is closed
for the summer

Washington, August 1S.-The War
Department made public to-day the
dispatch of General Merritt, giving the
official story of Manila's fall, ana also
The text of the significant Instructions
sent General Merritt yesterday, re-
curing the insurgents and all others
to recognize our authority in the ter
ritory occupied by our forces.
The dispatches were about the only
positive developments of the day
Nothing has been heard from General
lIerritt as to the casualties of last
Saturday, except that he estimated the
killed and wounded at fifty.
Another point upon which the Off
Gals are without definite information
is as to the extent of our present au-
thority in the Philippines. Under the
peace protocol the United States was
given the occupation of Manila, with
the bay and harbor until a permanent
disposition of The Philippine duesfin"
was reached.
=. But according to press dispatches,
Hhich are so circun5tantial as to be
csedlted in most official quarters Gen
ora1 ,1nNitt and Adn-iraf Dewey re-
oa;noa ~ >~opitulation Of tsS entire
ph,,sppine tSrehipelaago. Where appears
to be some doubt, therefore, even
among officials, as to whether our pres
ent authority and jurisdiction covers
Manila only as provided IN the peace
protocol or covers all the Philippines,
as provided by he reported terms Of Ca
pitulation to Merritt and Dewey.
There is a disposition to await fuller
official information before laying down
policy as. to the extent of our juris-
diction in the islands. Secretary AL
ger said to-day that he had heard moth
ing official OF the surrender of the en-
tire Philippine group. The instruc-
lions sent to General Merit have in
'row one expansion or our possessions
beyond the terms mentioned in the
o' oi~LlHCIly state tNat
this government is in possession of Ma
malta, and that its authority to preserve
peace and order will be exerted with
in the territory occupied by their mill
tary and naval forces"
The cabinet meeting tomorrow is
expected to deal with the many de-
tails and questions concerning the
Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico,
which have arisen since the peace pro-
tOcol was signed.
The State Department to-day re-
ceived another international congratu-
latiOn on the restoration of peace this
one coming from the British ambassa-
dor, Sir Julian Pauncefote, who is now
sCjourning at New London Conn. The
ambassador communicated the express
sion of profound qualification with
which Her Majesty's government
learned of the signature of the prelim-
inaries of peace between the United
States and Spain and the sincere con-
graduation to the President and the
government of the United States at the
war termination.
Acting Secretary Allen had busy
day, making final arrangements for the
naval review at New York on Satur-
day. He extended to the French am
bassador. NJ Cambon, the courtesy OF
