[ Special Telegram ( o TUB Ur.n.l A weak , dull nnd inactive market scorned probable from the Burfnc * In dications at tlio start this morning. Weak It was , and , for the most part , dull during the greater portion of the day , but streaks of nctlvlty wcro Interspersed nt times , when the weakness woulu give signs of deepening , and Bomo good sized line of bull hoardings would coma in n heap upon tbo market. The influences at work were a more continuation of the circumstances which have been oper- ntlng to the disadvantage of the bulls over rtlnco the practical securing of the spring wheat crop and the flno weather for marketing It puvo promise of a lib eral movement. Cables were weak nnd export clearances of wheat nnd fliur wore very light. The receipts nt this point nro running larcolyto No. 3 , which , though very good milling nnd shipping wheat , is not of much use In filling spoculatlvo contracts. Out of 2ol cars of rod winter received to-day only 27 wcro inspected into No. 2 grade , nnd this , In connection with the small stocks of that quality In store , l9 a combination ot cir cumstances sometimes forgUtun by the snorts. December wheat opened at 78@ 78)fc ) ( nnd sold down to 77c , appeared reluc tant to go lower for a considerable time , but finally worked off another # e. and after re acting to % c again bumped on the 7 > < o llguro , which proved the lowest of the day , tno last quotation being 77 @ 77Jf c , or about Jfc lower than at the close on Friday. The corn market opened with a fair de gree of activity , but was weak early. The \veather was favorable for the maturing crop , which was , of course , the main cause of the continued confidence shown by the bears. The heavy outgoings from store hero nnd the firm tone of cereals \vero steadying elements at the opening of the market , but the operator who was the support of the September end of the deal yesterday was n seller of that delivery ton moderate extent , which hud n wcakcniuir effect nnd wiped out for a time the premium which the near de livery brought over October yesterday until the Until transactions immediately at the close , which restored September to its orig inal premium. September closed nt 32 } c , ns on yesterday , und May at 35.J c bid , aguinst 85o on Friday. Oats wcro not essentially changed , with a fair speculative business noted in long fu tures. Receipts continue materially loss than the recent average , with only 204 cars posted to-day. One or two prominent opera tors were moderately free buyers of May at nt 2.'lJ33J , while this month was steady nt 10c , For November there were bids of Hiifc , but no sellers aupoarcd below 192 < f@l'J3 < i No. 2 oats to ire to store sold principally at the former figure of lllc , with light trading in car lots to go to special houses at u slight premium. Provision traders were favored with n reasonably interesting trade for Saturday. Between Hutchinson manipulating October pork , Armour looking after September short ribs and the unexpected selling of the Janu ary product , especially porir , the market was able to command close attention. Traders found it sufllclontly active nnd mysterious to keep them IA or around the pit , and the day's ngijregUo business made quite a peed showing. Prices were also irregular und fluctuations frequent , though the rnngo covered by the changes ex perienced outside of October pork were only moderate. The article named opened at $10.80 , and after selling down to $10.70 was advanced by an individual holding the balance of power to $11.50. It closed nt Sll.40 , or 72 o nbovo yesterday's last price.

The firm of Folwfcll Bros. & Co. , 021 Chestnut street , Philadelphia , are largo manufacturers and spinners of worsted and woolen goods and yarns. I was received , says a correspondent of the American Wool Reporter , very cordially bv N. T. Folwcll , and during our conversation I asked him for his opinion regarding the tariff on raw material and goods from abroad. Ho said that ho was in fuvor of 3'tj per cent ad valorem duty on wool und n proportionate duty on goods , which would cover the ex penses of labor and nil incidental accounts connected with the processes of manufactur ing. As long as wool comes in ns it does now , they have not ns yet enough duty pn goods. Mr. Folwcll said ho would like to see the specific duty removed suf- flclunt to allow some of the wools which are now practically shut out of this country from Australia to become available. When asked what ho thought the effect would be on our wool-growing inter ests , should such a measure bo adopted , ho said that it would give manufacturers in this country a better opportunity to compote with the foreign made goods , and at the same time create more of a demand for our do mestic wools , ns this is plain to bo seen , as our wools are not always adapted to the va rious kinds of goods brought into competi tion with foreign tnado , but with a mixture of both at reasonable rates our manufactur ers are placed on a footing with their coin petitors. Ho telt it but fair to the wool- growing interests that they should have a falrsharoof protection In proportion to what manufatiturers desired. "But , " ' said ho , "when wo allow the foreign competitor to come in and sell bis goods wo not only take away the chances of the manufacturers , but the wool growers' interests as well. To pro duce ono pound of finished goods on an aver age It requires four pounds of wool in the grease. Both are equally affected by the tariff , the latter being too high on the raw material , and not proportionate to the tariff on goods. " _ _ _ _ Tlio Cotton Mill Fallm-OM. American Wool Reporter : The trouble In the woolen Industry has caused seine failures among cotton mills , showing how closely the two interests are Identilled. On Thursday last the failure of the Wauregan company , of Wauregun , Ct. , was announced , closely followed by that of the Nottingham mill , of Providence. The statement that the VVuu- rcgan company was so heavily involved by Lewis Brothers' ' suspension , it is stated by the oftlcors of the company , did great injury to the credit of the concern , aud later fail ures have Increased the distrust , The com pany could make uo further financial ar rangements , and accordingly tbo directors decided to send the corapaiiy'b notes falling duo to protest. The Wauregan mill has 50- , 100 spindles and 1,400 looms , and brown and bleached cotton goods are made there , also some fancy goods and.npeoalUes. ! . The Wnu- regan company has won fame by its manu facture of a superior kind of shirtings The Nottingham mill , in Providence , used to be the old steam mill , under the James Y. Smith Manufacturing company. This com pany was chartered in 1884 , with a capital of (300,000 and has 23,000 spindles and 55U looms. About COO hands are now employed in tbo mill. Edwajd p , Tuft , the treasurer of the Waurepan company , represents all the stock of the Nottingham Mills corporation , and bo leases the mill to tbo Waurogan company. It Is , therefore , regarded as a part of the Wau regan property. Its liabilities are estimated at { 200,000 to $250,000 , assets nominally ex ceed this num. The Wauregan company had been a causa of grout apprehension among tbo banks for some time. It was known to bo carrying a largo line of paper , but , as it was dolntr a bif business , it was felt that , perhaps , it mlghi weather the storm auu cotno out all right la he end. The president wiisi advised to re- luca his dividends , and to. apply some of the nonoy to the Indebtedness of the company , mt ho did not heed the ndvlco. Some dea of tbo value of the stack ns an Invest ment may bo Judged from the fact that in the last mno years It has' ' paid dividends aggregating 125 per cent. 'Iho Now England banks nro generally repriweptcd In the ilitof creditors , those of Boston holding $255,000 worth of the papor. Tnd local and state banks all carried largo blocks of the paper ouo year ago , but they b < > gan to unload quietly , and by reducing thcvolumo of paper , now hold In the aggrognto but $450,000 worth. DID total Indebtedness of , iho company is given by President R P. Ta.ft as $1VOO,000 , ind the ( iticlc ) assets hdplacet at $600,000. Plio plant Is valuoil nt fl,003,000 , and ho thinks that the creditors , If they are patient ind show leniency , will bo paid In full. All iho other cotton mills are mailing good money. Those which have felt the blow labored under ono diQIculty. They were doing lee great a business for the capital in vested , and this made them free borrowers , nud caused them to put out considerable for Interest on the loans advanced. Business is too gocd for many morn largo failures. The Ponemah , with which Mr. Taft Is also con nected , paid n Rtoclt dividend of 33)4 nor cent within u year , bosldo paying largo regu lar dividends. The plant Is worth $3,000,000. Hoot.- * unit Shoes. BOSTON , Sept. 1. The market continues In n steady position , with the factories gener ally busy on heavy goods.

Shoo workers are practically the only disturbing clement In the Now England la bor world at present , nnd as their grievances nro generally c.iusea by disagreements on In tricate price lists , u permanent , settlement Is often hard to reach. The North Adams op eratives arc again idle , whether from their own voluntary action or by order of the union , Is not stated. Iron tnnufacturo show signs of improvements , nnd an active full trade is expected. The iron and steel mills are having ull the business they can dandle nt present , and are adverse to tuking future orders at present prices.

A Printer Dujtlicntes the Newsboys FnntH on Drv Iiuiiil. Harry Lallin. a compositor on the Ansonia Sentinel , lilto many other printers , has soon a , good deal of the world , and is as dariugr as the majority of men. A few days ago his "tako" of copy contained an account of Stove Brodio's last jump in Rhode Island , and ho remarlccd : ' 'That Steve Brodie was no great shakes ; it's easy enough to jumj. into the water. Now I'll wacror that I can jump from the roof of the Arlington houhotothe roof of Martinez's cigar store , about forty foot , and not get hurt. " The printers raised a purse for Lallin. On Tuesday evening , divesting himself of his coat and vest , says an Ansonia , Conn. , special to the Globo-Domocrat , ho mounted to the roof , stood a momeiit on the cornice , and , sploeting a certain spot on which to alight , ho made the plunge. Ho landed just whore ho ox- peutod to , and as it was but a few feet from the edge of the roof , and being willing to give extra measure for his money , ho threw a somersault and jumped from the cigar store roof to the sidewalk , about twenty feet more. This , too , was successful , and the crowd cheered him to the echo. Mr. Laflin is talking now of jumping from the bridge across the Naugatuulc river in the roar of the Sentinel olllco , and he is only waiting for some ono to make it worth the while.

IRON IS STILL IMPROVING , Prloos Hnrdonlnsr nnd a Good Fall Business Anticipated. STEEL FIRM AT FULL RATES. Copper Moving Better Dry Oooilf HullncStontly WUh IMeiuy of Or ders Ahonll Oroosrlcs Qulot The Allotted Lcntlicr Trust. Trntlo nml Commerce. BOSTON , Sept. 0. The Improvement noted In the Iron market continues , nnd while no special nctlvlty Is noticeable , trade foots up well In the aggregate. The general market appears to bo steadily harden Ing and the sit uation continues favorable , w'th ' Indications pointing to u good fall business. The prin cipal strength still appears to centro In Pennsylvania nnd the west , but as buyots hero are in need of supplies they feel the effect of the stronger market thorp. freights have boon advanced , while thel ncroased cost of fuel also outers largely Into the higher cost of production. As yet buyers buvo not nt- templed to stock up to any extent , but confi dence Is being restored , and there Is more disposition shown to buy ahead. With any speculative demand , the market is In posi tion to show a sharp advance , but oven where dealers nro free buyers , they only purchase to meet tholr own necessities. The record of industrial events reveals n number of additions V'10 ' last week to the rolling mills In operation lu Pennsylvania , not the toast important of which is the Reading - ing Iron company's works at Reading , I'n. , includltiit , besides thulr rolling mills , the plpo und lube mills and foundry , which imvo been Idle for n period of about six months. The resumption of operations has , In many Instances , been duo to the improvement In tno demand for various forms of llnlshed Iron , and in others to the settlement of labor disputes that have caused a tomoorary sus pension of work. Manufacturers of railroad equipment and track supplies are reported to have secured more orders during August than in any preceding mouth for seine time past , and uro now in good position. The general condition of the foundry business is also reported to bo quite brisk. Pig iron continue * firm , with the tendency towards u still further advance in the west. The advance IH freights , and the higher cost of co lie causes prices to bo held firmer , and buyers , In order to got supplies , are obliged to pay more thun formovly. The demand is still of a moderate character , however , as buyers do not make a practice of stocking up as formerly , but generally have the iron shipped to them from time to time us they need It. Considerable iron 1ms been con tracted for in this way for forward delivery , aud thus while new business is moderate , steady deliveries in fulfillment of old con tracts arc still going forward. Those de liveries are sufUcient to absorb the produc tion so closely that iii the fuco of the heavy production going on there is very little ac cumulation of standard brands In ilrst hands. The only xvcakuess noticeable Is Cor some brands that are comparatively now to east ern consumers , and for which easy prices would ( occasionally bo accepted to bring tbo iron Into favor. Scotch iron is still too high to compete with American grades , and is nominal in prico. Bar iron is lirm , and values are showing more strcncth. The former low-priced sell ers of the west have advanced their views , und this makes the competition less close. Eastern milltncn are asking S1.70@1.75 , but uo largo lots could bo bought nt the former rate. Prom store the range of sales is $1.75 @ 1.8o for the host refined bars. Swedish iron is active and firm. General grades of manufactured iron continue lirm , although tbo movement with dealers is still moderate. Dealers who stocked up liberally under the former depressed market are uot disposed to press sales in the least , as they have con- fidaacoin the situutlcfi. General prices show no material change hero , although buyers are not getting any concessions from pres ent rates. The better tone induces more free purchases , but buyers uro not yet dis posed to purchase largely ahead. TanK iron ana steel plates remain ilrm ana move quite freely at full values , while steam piping is yet going forward steadily in the way of de liveries of former purchases. The compa nies nro well supplied with orders for the larger sizes of piping , and have business booked to carry them well into tlio winter. Radiators und piping for steam heating pur poses is beginning to attract attention , and business Is generally brisking up. The market for all kinds of steel is firm , and the depression of u few months ago has entirely disappeared. Now York reports of the steel rail market say that eastern mill agents have taken orders for several lots , involving about 15,000 tons all told. The largest transaction was a lot of about 8,000 tons. Sales wcro chiclly at prices on the basis of 38 at works for standard sections , which is generally adherea to by asronts on orders for either near or distant future de livery , There uro a few concerns whom It is thought might take $27.75 , or possibly 527.50 , for winter work , but the majority quote $28 us strictly inside figures. The nail market Is showing more strcnglh. although no advancn in prices can bo noted ns yet. The advance in raw material will hnvo u tendency to force the price of finished material up. Sheet Iron is firm and the de mand is improving. .Blacksmiths' supplies generally quiet. Old iron is quiet , but values nro very firm. The Now York ' market * shows high prices for old rails a'nd scrap. Copper is firm and consumers are gener ally buying tholr supplies. They have given up hope of any brtak before the spring , und many of the leading consumers have bought stocks to last them for six mouths. Tin is flrni , hut quiet , with antimony linn. Tin plates rule lirm , with a fair trade. Lead is steady and former values are well main tained , No change in spelter und sheet zinc. zinc.Tho voluino of dry goods business in com mission circles rules steady , with liberal lines going Into distribution. Seasonable fabrics uro moving well , nnd , owing to the advance asked by manufacturers for some goods , values are lirm with an upward ten dency , This is particularly the case with woolen nnd woolen mixed dress goods und flannels. Cotton goods contmuo quiet , al though some business is being done right nlonu. Cotton flannels still go forward freely In the delivery of former orders. Prints hold steady with sales fair , the movement in wldo specialties being liberal. Ginghams remain steady with the demands confined princi pally to small purchases of fancies. Dress goods uro moving steadily In a Jobbing way , with the mills holding firm nt the advance. KJannols are doing well In the way of distri bution by Jobbers , with values ilrm. Hlank- ots remain lirm und are being taken quite' motmt/na Have you freely tn n Jobbing way. Men's wear woolens continue quiet , but values are still Ilrm , The low pf-iccs at which goods opened this sea son , as compared with the cost of taw ma terial , prevents any giving way on the part of manufacturers. The mills have generally orders on hand to keep thorn busy n coed share of the season , and are In position to wait. In ton the market continues quiet , with only small lots moving , but the tone holds flnn fordcslrablo grades. The preponder ance of stock In this country and In China Is below the medium urado , and thcto lower grades are dull. A recent cable from China says that Formosa tens grading above me dium In quality nro scarce and Ilrm. The fact of the light offerings of best tons keeps prices steady notwithstanding the light de mand. hi coffee the market Is firm and values nro strongly maintained for nil grades. The demand holds up well and buyers appear to hnvo conlldunco in the future , The llrazll market Is strong , the poor crop conditions there giving Indications of steady values. In spices the market holds Ilrm for black pepper , with cloves and nutmegs steady. The latest device in the way of cominorcfal combinations is the reported leather trust. According to very glowing accounts , nil the tanneries in Now Enuland nnd New York had been secured by representatives of English capital , who thereupon proposed to llx prices for the whole country. They had unlimited capital , of course ; all English companies have. They were sure to effect almost incalculable savings lu manufacture nnd management , especially by means of concentrated power nnd shrewd division of labor. They had secured so vast u supply of bur'-producng ! forests that no competitors could resist thorn , Such was the beautiful talc , and to a grout many people It had n singularly familiar sound , but parsons who own lurgo tanneries in New ICuirlnnd nnd Now York , without exception so far , appear to be entirely unaware that they Imvo sold tbalr works to anybody , or that , anybody bus proposed to buy liiom , or that any other owners of tanneries have sold. It Is stated by iiorsons who ought to know that inora than half the leather now tanned in the United States Is from tanneries in Pennsylvania. In 1850 the proportion was more than one quarter , and yet tno believers in every story labeled u trust hnsten to credit the assertion that purchasers of a lot of works In New England and Now York , of which many nro now abandoned or un profitable , can control the market for the entire country , regardless of the manu facture in n state which probably furnishes about half the entire supply.
