Prirsnure, November 22 —The lron manufactarers of this city generally do not agree with castern manufactur- ora who are disposed to indulge in gloomy speculations in regard to the future iron and steel trade. A large number of the most prominent manu- facturers wore interviewed to-day and nono avticipated any serious bseak. A. F. Keating, vica president of the Tron assooiation, spoakiog on the same eubject, said: “‘Bessemer men made largo profits, but now when over pro duction has comethey find ther profits lessened and their firat objoect is to re- duco the prico of labor, In order to do this they aro endeavoring to show that the entire bottom has dropped out of tho businese. Another point they have is to influence legislation and prevent any further reduction of the rate on steel rails.” « 1 Iron Workers Agitatoed. Speclal Dispatch to Tie Lire.

New York, November 22.—Jay Gould, in a talk with a reporter to- day, suid he thought tho decline in stocks had gone further than any element in the situation would war- rant, The unessy feeling as to what the policy of tha governigent might be with regard to the mnn‘nlument of the public treasury had arisen, and this uneariness had resulted in calling loans to a large extent, which necessi- tated an extensive liquidation. For his own part he had not been purchas- ing stock until within the past week, but was now buying and should con- tinue to buy stocks to hold, a8 they wers cheap enough to pay good return for those who could take care of them, Gould eaid the product of the southwest this year was very large and the business situation highly encouraging., The cotton crop of Texas would reach 1,600,000 bales and that state had produced an immonse crop of corn and wheat. Texas was now exporting more catile and wool thau ever betore. Kanesas has & big crop and the samo is £ year, 364 070,447, The numberof lives " lont shows one life lost to each 1,727, #7172 persons carried, as against one life Joat to each 50,714 persons carried in 50 years previous tu the enactments of the first really efficient steamboat law. In the yesr last named there wera 39,000,000 pissengers car- ried and 700 lives lost.” -~ The super- vising inspector general reports eson- omy 10 the management of the contin- gent expenees of the service, Whereby such expenses have been reduced from $12 dollars per steamer inspected in 1876 and previous years to §7 since that year, making the groes saviug in six yeara uf nearly $126,000. THE ¥OURTH AUDITOR'S REPORT, The annual report of Foursh Audi- ' . tor Beardsley shows that tho aggre- i gate payments on account of the nayy ' for the fiscal year endod June 30th, | 1882, were little less than the uzgro: \ gate appropriations made by congress i for that year, Some of the appropri- ations were over expended and a de- ficiency was provided for at the last session of congrees. Dishursemeonts amounting to more than $15,000,000 have been made withoutloss, Forsup- port of the service in foreign watere, bills of exchange were eold amounting to $1,767,723, of which $1,355,137 wzre deawn ou our ageuta in London and $412,686 on the secre- tary of the navy. 'Chis latter sum is more than double that of the previous trus of the middle section. In the southwest railroad rates are being maintained and the roads are doing a good business. There is hesvy immi- gration and a large number of people going in by New Orleans and Galves- *, on, . Speaking of the iron troubles Gould said the ohief diffizalty was in regard to the Bessemer steel indusiry, which had the capacity for a much greater supply than the present railroad build- ing of the country demanded. The iron interest was not depressed and he understood it was doing fairly well, The Vaulcan steol works av St. Louis would probably shut down partially until they could adjust their differ- ences with laborers, but there was a demand that would keep the mills runoing, if uct on full time, partially at least, Specking generally of the railway situation Gould sard the roads were never in so good a condition to do bueiness &8 at present, as they had all taken advantzage of the prosperity of the last few years to perfect their equipments and put them into firat- clase order He said that on the Wabash syetem the average for fuel the last month had been only $1.26 per ton in the engine, which was sur- prisingly low for an article that en- tered so'largely into the cost of opera- tiug & road. Gould said there was year and indicated the improved con- dition of our foreign trade and credit. A commission of one per cent is paid to the London agents on the sum piid by them. The suditor suggests that this work could be as well done by a pay official of the navy, thus saving the expense, or, if the present agency is to be continued, one-half ot cne per cent would be awple commission, THE MONUMENT FAIR. A weeting of the executive comunit- tee of the Gurfield fair association was held to-mgnt. It was decided to 2 catend invitations to the Garfield guard of bonor, justices of the su- premo cours of the District of Co- | lumbia, members of the court of claims and to societios of Mexican voterans and cf the oldest inhabi- tants, Seveu thousand ticke!s were suthonzed to be printed for the use of achool children. s BOUNCED. The district commiseioners this af- ternoon found George O, Miller, de- teotive, guilty of the specifications charged agsinst him by Attorney Gen- eral Browster, namely, conspiracy with the star routers, and in conse- quence an order has bsen issued re- moving Miller from the metropolitan police force. NORTHERN PACIFIC LANDS, Respecting the adjustments of with- drawal of lands for the benefit of the Northern Pacific raillway under the rant of July 2, 1804, Secrotary Teller a8 directed the comwmissiones of tl general land office to conform to iine of route ss defl y located, to moke an adjustment of route A cordanos with maps of definita tion filed io 1881 and 1882 upo: which the road is constructed from boundary liue z Montana to the last eroseing of the ) Yellowstone river, and such other por- loca tions of the road as has been definitely located without —mate rial deviation from the line of the general route, and where the yoad has been constructed the purpose is to ermit adjustment by withdrawal of fi.udl lying along the constructed por- tion of the road. This order will bevween Dakota and | little Wabash preferred stock on the market, About $15,000,000 of stock was held in Europe and it was prac- tically cornered, In regard to the Western Unton, Gould said the books show a large 1n- crease of investment holdings and ke produced a copy which showed that one year ago last September thero stood wpon the books 301,054 shares of stock held by the brokers, and 408,946 shaves held by investors, On the 17ch 1nat, the transfer books showed the brokerage holdivgs had decronsed to 27 i shares while the sstment acoouac had grown to 72 472 ehares. At tho present time about 6,000 shares a week of stock are passing from the hands of brokers mto the b xes of investors, and at his rate it will take less than a year o abzorb all epeculative stock. The cashier’s balance to-day shows §1,841,- 000 in the treasury; already a much larger sum than would be required for the next dividend, which is not due for two months, Gould said he was not huying opposition telegraph lines and found no rivalry. He knew the posi- tion of the Western Union, and was not at all alarmed or anxious about the effects of rival lines, Notwithstandiug the break in stocke, Gould eaid he had been for many days eteadily buying for people who were uninfluenced by the clamor of panic breeders. Tho same absorption for investment to which he had alluded | in the cage of the Western Union was | observable with regard to other prop- ertics with which he was familiar, par- ticularly the case of the Union Pacific. In conclusion, Mr. Gould said he looked for subtantial improvement in | etocks, aud eventually 8 much higher market, as soon as wmoney should be assured, KEENE WAS NEXT INTERVIEWED oa the speculative situation and he did not hesitate to say he thought it absurd to talk of stocks dewn after tho decline that had been witnessed and with railroads earning such enor- mous smounts as at present, He confidently expressed the belief that an era of better days was about to 20,000 tons of steel railsat the works at §40 per ton. This price is equal to 42 per ton delivered at Now York. The cost of production is over $40 per ton, bui tho company will keep the mills in operation without profit rather than suspend. The prospec- tivo cutting of wages creates much excitement. Men are determined to stand againat & reduction should the western rates remain os atb present, ¥lackbura’s Denial Special Dispateh to Tur Bee, Lovtsviute, Ky, November 22,— Congressinan Blackburn says, in ref- erence to the alleged plot against Speaker Keifer, ‘I have not seen o copy of The Enquirer to which you reter, but have learned of it. ~ There is not enough color of truth in the re- port to form a foundation, There was an ides suggested of offering a regolution to impeach Keifer for his partisan rulinge, bat such a thing as resorting to force was certainly never mentioned in any democratic caucus or meeting, if it was thought, and T do not believe the latter idea ever en- tered the head cf any demvcratic member of congress.” —_———— Horrible Death.
