Developments in the stock market dur
ing the past week have been much such
as were expected The advance during the
nrst day or two has held very we'll but
during the past two days there mas been
noticeable q clearly defined tendency to
sag The situation is not difficult enc
TO understand. With the beginning Of the
month the bull leaders generally t'egan TO
manipulate boom Some OF the most
importa..t OF the Republican financial and
business interests took part in the move
ment 1t was called a Mckinley boom
BY these people. and by their friends
among the Wall Street newspapers. This
name was a fancy one. Ii had some JUS
LITIGATION in the facts, but not in the
sense originally intended. The first idea
OF a Mckinley boom" the one enter
tanned several months ago. was that the
universal confidence of Republican success
would make the big speculative Republi-
can contingent throughout the country buy
stocks in wonderful way and force
prices up many points during the entire
autumn months. This idea had 10 be
given up. Instead the Republican specu-
lators sold stocks, because they consid-
cred the election most uncertain. The Re
publican leaders were forced to engineer
their boom to help MIR. Mckinley instead
OF seeing the boom created by the public

that unless the public comes into such
manipulated market it cannot hold for
very long. Such condition is now present
II is an easy matter for the professionals
10 create a momentary hurrah by bidding
up prices and buying stocks that they do
not wish 20 keep, but these people do not
relish holding prices up after they have
boosted them. The public is always ex-
pected to do this. The public Is always

professionals when prices have reached
the top. In this case the public has re-
fused to purchase. The result is that the
smaller followers OF the big clique are
selling out Prices are shading down
ward. softly and slowly TO be sure, but
none the less persistently.
The outlook for the coming weeks be-
fore election is not particularly resssur-
ing. General conditions outside OF politics
are good looked at from the standpoint O:
the investor but they are not attractive to
the Spectator who follows the fractional
movements OF the market The money
market is hardening, slowly and not alarm
ingly. but at the same time In way that
will offer ammunition TO the bears when
they regain confidence in their position.
The strike is not over, and there are pos
sibiIities OF even worse things than have
already been seen in this situation. The
bank statement yesterday was a very poor
one, worse than had been expected. On
the whole. the market is likely TO see some
reaction from the present level of prices,
before the big advance begins this autumn
That there will be a fine bull movement
later is doubted by very few conservative
brokers and financial men. This movement
will be due TO the fine general business
condition Of the country, and not TO the
election of any particular party candidate
II will come whether Mr.. Bryan or Mr..
Mckinley is 10 be elected. Or so, at least
many Of the careful market people are
writing at this time.

tribute more than the usual dividend to
the stockholders of the company al the
end Of the year. 1t is highly improbable
that any change in the regular dividend
rate will be made, but an extra divi-
dend of / per cent is not unlikely. The

business men to place their orders until

coats, white trousers and white shoes,
and when Detroit is reached tonight
the boys will present a pretty and neat
appearance as they march up the street
behind Meisters twenty-four pieces.
The company Is already represented
in Detroit by Col. VIM. F. K. Vogt and
w. W Rogers, who went ahead to ar
range for the coming of the company.
They have had the tents floored and
cots put in for each man, so that when
the company arrives at the camp
grounds all the members have to do is
to hang up their caps and feel at home.
The company is accompanied by a
colored valet whom they have uni
formed for the occasion.
Among those OF No / who will go

PRICES OF PIG IRON
Have Reached RocksBetten and Are
Bzpected 20 Improve.


Bxpecfed 20 Improve.
Indications are not wanting that the
price Of metal products have been
'treadtng on the bottom" In the last
few days, and should now be expected
TO grow firmeF The steel ana iron
trade Is, OF cof.ree, an important index
of the country's general commercial
condition, and the trade itself largely
follows the pig iron market. The de-
mand for pig iron is now greatly in
creasing. -gs4 4Te-= - scp
Archer Brown, of Rogers, Brown &
Co., Of New York, said yesterday that
the pig iron men hadr been saying all
through the decAne OF This year that the
bottom had come" He added: Now
am for the first time persuaded that
the bottom for pig iron really has
come / think the lowest price was
reached last Saturday. On that day
No. 2 foundry, which is the standard
grade of pig iron, sold free on board
cars at Birmingham, Ala, for Sill
ton, and We heard that some even
went as low as $10s75. We did sell
to-day some pig iron on the basis
of $11 for No. 3 foundry, but that
price will soon be bettered. In some
cases this week SLIPS ton has been
refused.
Expects Prices to Improve.
There has been steady decline
since last December until within the
last few days The real improvement
is not week old We have now got
down to bedrock and can begin TO
build up prices. The buyer, and not
the seller, is anxious now. AS an in
tication of the better condition OF
things, my own firm, which has only
averaged about 1000 tons of pig iron
a day during the decline, is selling
about 5000 tons daily now. The ex-
port demand continues good.
The price of the lowest grade OF
pig iron-gray forge-has grown de-
cidedly firmer. We filed an order of
1000 tons of this grade recently, on
a basis of about $3.50 a ton, free on
board cars at Birmingham. The par
ties to whom we sold wanted 10000
tons more, but we would not sell any
more at that price. The very lowest
price they can get anywhere is $3.50,
and leading concerns, like the Tonnes
see Coal and Iron Company and the
Sloss- Sheffield Company, are quoting
$40 ton for gray forge. Those who
sell at lower figures will only sell
enough to provide ready money which
they may need"
