IRON AND STEEL

P.TTSBURG, Pa, August 2.-The
American Manufacturer will say to-
morrow;
TINS has been another ominous week
of quiet. Manufacturers have been
on still hunt for stray lots of ma
terial, but without results. The mar
ket is cleaned up Of every ton of I'M
sold stuff, and everybody is playing a
waiting game. The smaller manufac
turers, who buy from month to month,
are suffering from the shortage of ma
teriaf. and many of these are begin
ming to close down or to lay off work
men as a result. Larger concerns,
having plenty of cash with which to
do business, are more fortunate, but
are constantly complaining of the
shortage.
Sales OF pig iron for immediate or
future shipment have been few and at
top notch prices. While $40 is given as
the association price for Bessemer pig
iron in the valleys, the last sale re-
ported was made at s20.25. The as
sociation's agent reports that there is
NO metal for sale, and hence the quo
tation is nominal. An advance to $21
per ton is freely predicted.
Light rails have been sold as high
as $42 per ton, and standard section at
S32. Muck bar iron has been disap-
pearing from the market, the last quo
tation being $2.25 per hundred pounds.
The scarcity of puddlers and the strike
at several plants have caused a re-
striction of output. Tie demand has

METAL.

NEW YORK, August 2.-The market
for metals in general way shows an
easier feeling. The price of tin further
declined to-day, following disposition
to hquidate, considered to be natural
after the recent erratic advance, while
adyices from without failed to give sup
port. Pig iron warrants also declined
and closed dull, while lake copper was
unchanged, lead and spelter also I'M
changed in price. The metal exchange
quotes pig iron warrants S1500@15.5D;
lake copper $3.50; tin S3150q32.35;
lead s4.55@4571a; spelter $500. Brok-
ers' price of lead is s4.35 and for cop
per $3.50.

The Wheeling Register is the
leading Democratic newspaper OF
the State and is, always found on
the side of the people, indicating
the rights of the masses. The i'm
portant political events now trans
piring makes this excellent Journal
more interesting than ever and it
should be in the hands of every
reader who desires better times and
purer governnent.-Southern

Stocks-To-day' stock market like
that of yesterday, had a period of
tsrength in the morning which gave
way before the day was over, The
depression was due to the continued
prospect Of hard money. Early
strength had its inception IN the dis
position Of London to buy American
stocks, Notwithstanding the marking
up of the money rate there. The de-
mand from London was especially
marked for Atchison preferred, l.. & N.
and Northern Pacific. London old An
aconda copper. There was a smart
upward moement in some of the spe-
cialties. Early in the day Sugar went
up 2A. Reports of the extraordinary
gave a firm tone to that group of
stocks and Tennessee Coal had the
additional benefit of a report that val
liable property was about to be ac-
quired and that claims of preferred
stockholders were in process of adjust
| ment. The stock in consequence rose
ga. The trunk lines were favorably af-
feoted by the going into effect of the
higher freight rates on grain to the
seaboard.
The Tobacco stocks, the local trac
ton shares, General Electric, Cotton
Oil, Peoples Gas and few others
gained from individual causes. The
general appearance of strength thus
impaired to the market prompted some
covering by the shorts who sold yes
terday, thus helping on the advance.
The higher prices brought out realiz-
ing sales and there was sharp break
latter dropping 21a from the best.
Lackawanna suddenly fell away 31a
points on rumors of a projected strike.
The grangers were weak on bad crop
news. The closing was dull and heavy
generally below last nights closing.
The apprehension over the money out
look was caused by the advance of dis
count rates in London to point above
the Bank OF England's minimum rate.
the Bank of England was again bor-
rowing from the market TO reoel the
demand for gold made probably by the
recent downward course of sterling ex-
change in New York. There was not
enough doing in sterling exchange here
to-day to reflect the influence of this
move, but the sterling exchange rate at
Berlin, whence London continues to
draw gold, rose pfenigs. The bulk
of the call loans in New York were
made to-day at per cent. and lenders
showed themselves indisposed TO renew
time loans at current rates. Prime
commercial paper rates ruled from 4
to 5 per cent.
Outside banks continued to draw on
their deposits in New York banks fer
the purpose of making loans in this
market. There has been some outgo
OF funds from thi; centre TO Montreal
on account of stringency there.
There was activity and strength by
the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf
firsts. Otherwise the bond market was
irregular. Total sales $1,000 500.
U. S. IS declined Il in the bid price.

In Alabama Are to be Consolidated Under
One Management.
BENNINGTON, Ala, July 13.-The
Herald says the Sloss Iron & Steel
Company will probably soon go out OF
existence as a separate organization.
A new company is to be organized to
include the Sloss Company, the Amer
lean Coal Company, the Ensley Fur
mace, at Sheffield, the Philadelphia
Furnace, at Florence, the Gulf Greek
Coal & Coke Company and other coal
and iron companies of Alabama. This
proposed new company has been per-
fected within the past ten days by the
consolidation of the various companies
mentioned above. 1t is probable that
this combination will effect a consoli-
dation with the Alabama Coal & Iron
Company, recently organized by the
International Trust Company, and the
John Shelton Williams syndicate. This
latter organization was effected by q
Baltimore party within the last six
weeks.
The new company, composed of the
Sloss, the American Coal and othel
properties mentioned above, was jus;
organized The plans were perfected
yesterday. The consummation of the
organization will be effected to-day.
This new company will rank seconc
in Importance only to the Tennessee
