Interviews; with representatives of the
A. Garrison Foundry Company and the
Phoenix Boll "Works develop the fact that
the chill and sand roll industries were never
in a healthier condition than at the present
time. Both these manufacturing establish
ments are working well up to their capacity,
-with orders ahead sufficient to keep the works
moving until after the turn of the year.
Prices have advanced So per ton since the
middle of November. It is claimed that this
advance goes mostly to the benefit of labor and
iron and coke manufacturers. The quality of
iron which is used in the manufacture of rolls,
which is the very best charcoal iron, has ad
vanced fully IS per ton In the past 60 days.
How Coke Was Bulled.
Coke has jumped in the same time from tl 10
to SI SO, and even in cases, to SI 75 iter ton, and
the advance on rolls has evidently been ab
sorbed before proprietors derive any benefit.
The chief benefit of the advance to proprietors
has been to such as anticipated the advance
and laid in large stocks ol iron atthe low rates.
A member of one firm reports that his estab
lishment is stocked up for months ahead at the
low prices. Said he:
"If wo had not laid in a full stock of Iron and
coke at the low prices, we would have had no
benefit from tbe late advance. Labor, coke,
and the grade of iron we use in makine rolls
liave all advanced in the past month sufficient
to wipe ont the Jo additional price of rolls."
Tber Have Been Higher.
Within the past decade rolls have sold at
nearly double present prices. Chill rolls were
Isold within that period at 6ic per pound, and
sand rolls at 4c per pound.
The former were sold within the past year at
Zfa per pound at the latter at S4C When the
liigb prices were reached a reaction followed,
and a few years of dull trade with little profit
was tbe result.
A member of one of the firms referred to
above, taid recently: "lao not want to see snea
a boom and sucn high prices as we had In
1SS1-2. There was such a boom in those j ears
that business in our line was stimulated
berond a healthy condition. We made money
too fast for a year or two. and forseveral years
while the couniry was sobering up from its
spree we felt blue enough.
What is Dreaded.
The thine to be dreaded most now is an
other boom like that of 18S2. There is a reason
able profit in our trade now, and we are turn
ing out a large amount of stuff, and if trade
will only keep on in its present state we are
altogether satisfied. Better a reasonable profit
than these great booms, which are inevitably
followed by periods of depression.
"In the past two or three years our works
have Increased their capacity 100 per cent, and
we prefer to turn ont more goods at smaller
margins. Our trade is all right now, and we
would deplore any further advance."
Following are the price of chilled and sand
rolls as furnished by the Phoenix and A. Garri
son works:
From C to 12 Inch diameter to 40 Inch long, 4c
per pound In roujrh.
From IS to :4 inch diameter to 72 inch long, 2c
per pound In rough.
From 34 to 34 inch diameter to 1M Inch long, 35) c

Additional charge on rolls for brass and other
fine wore
band rolls made of best charcoal Iron, 23(c and
SJfc per pound In rough, according to size.

Chicago Wheat In the aggregate a fair
business was transacted to-day. At times the
market ruled very quiet, at others trading was
good. The market was ruled by fits and starts,
and an easier feeling existed. Some lines of
long wheat were closed out, one house being
credited with selling 500,000 bushels. Good buy
ing on the first decline held prices in check for
a while, but with renewed selling again prices
found a lower level later. The fluctuations
were rather small for the volume of trading,
price changes covering a range of only e.
Tbe market opened a shade easier than yester
day's closing, held rather steady for awhile,
and then declined c ruled steady, and then
closed about c lower for December and Jfc
lower for May than closing figures on 'Change
vesterday.
Trading centered chiefly in May. Early cable
advices were generally quite firm, and in some
instances slightly higher, but later and closing
cables were weaker. The receipts in the
Northwest, although not as heavy as last week,
keep up above what had been expected.
Corn There was only a moderate business
transacted, tbe pit at times being quite dull.
Tbe feeling prevailing was easier, and lower
prices were established, especially on Decem
ber, tbe premium on this month over January
having entirely disappeared. The market
opened HQiic lower than yesterday, that is,
December was sold freely at Sliie for a time,
rallied and advanced Mc borne outside orders
coming on the market again ruled weaker,
selling off JJc. rud steady, and final quota
tions were a lower for December, Hic
for January, while May showed little change
compared with yesterday.
Oats were traded In liberally, and a stronger
feeling existed. Prices advanced Kdic. Sell
ing by a heavy local operator caused a recession,
and the market closed quiet; at almost inside
figures.
Mess Pork Trading was rather more active,
and the feeling was stronger early, and prices
advanced 57c Toward the close the feeling
was easier, and the greater portion of the ad
vance was lost
Lard Alight business was transacted, but
the feeling was firm and prices tlightly higher.
Short Rib Sides The market exhibited a lit
tle more strength, and prices were advanced
2K5c. Later an easier feeling was developed,
and prices settled lack to medium figures, ana
the market closed quiet.

SOME1 GOOD THINGS
In Real Estate Showing a Strong
Undercurrerif of Activilj.
TWO MORE BIS DEALS CLOSED UP.
Iron Trade' More Than Holds itb Own,
With a Eosy Outlook for riext lean
CONTEACTS FOE 0BE ALEEADI PLACED
Two important transactions in real estate
were uncovered yesterday, showing that
there is something going on in this import
ant department of business. The slight
shrinkage in the demand for small proper
ties in the last few days is more than made
up by increased activity In large ones.
Scarcely a day passes withont a transaction
involving many thousands of dollars, and
while, in the majority of cases, efforts are
made at the instance oi" sellers or buyers to
keep the facts from the public, they generally
come to the surface In some shape The shal
lows murmur, but the deeps are dumb.
One of the deals referred to was the sale by
W. A. Herron & Sons of a block of land on
Forbes street. Twenty-second ward, near the
Schenley Park, comprising TJi acres, unim
proved, at a price approximating SoUOOO cash.
The purchaser Is John McGinlev, auditor of
the Philadelphia Company. He will lay the
ground out in lots, and put them on the
market.
The other transaction, of which nothing ex
cept the bare fact could be obtained, involves
a fine building site in the Cast End, the con
sideration being S140.CXX).
The iron market gives out no indication of a
halt tn the-upward movement It is as strong
and active as at any former period since the
boom sot in. All of tbe mills are full of busi
ness, and some of them will be compelled to
increase their capacity. Among these is the
Allegheny Bessemer, at Duqnesne.
There has been an advance in pig metal of 50
to 75 cents a ton in the last 10 days, but with
this exception prices are as previously noted.
The advance in pig, however, has hardened
values along the entire line, and further en
hancement is among the probabilities. Con
tracts for ore are already being placed. This
is about two months earlier than usual. About
1,000,000 tons have been contracted for, all for
next year. This indicates two things confi
dence of continued activity and apprehensions
of higher prices for same, as well as manufact
ured iron.
The outlook for next year is very encourag
ing. The extraordinary activity in railroad
betterments is far from exhausted, and the
prospect for a heavy business in steel rails could
scarcely be better.
The trade in England continues active and
excited, and pricesare advancing. A Wolver
hampton letter says: Never berore in tbe his
tory of the trade has there been a wilder mar
ket than that of Middlesborougb. The excite
ment was intense. Prices of pig iron again
advanced by leaps and bounds, there being a
gain of 4s lJd per ton during tbe market,bring
ingup the price of Middlesborongh pig to a
figure 8s 6d per ton above that of a week ago.
and yet scarcely any iron could be got at these
advanced rates. The present price of pig Iron
is above anything that has been realizod since
1873, the previous best since then being in 1880,
when 63s was reached.
There is a perfect squeeze, a veritable cor
ner, for Cleveland warrants, and they have
gone np at a rate much faster than Scotch
warrants, the stock of which prevents any cor
nering. Hut there is no doubt that Cleveland
iron is uncommonly scarce; in fact, as regards
No. 3 there is quite a famine The price of
Cleveland warrants is actually 3s 9d above the
price of Scotch warrants a circumstance never
before known; for generally Cleveland is 6s be
low Scotch, and sometimes 8s and 10s below.
Great firmness at Barrow is again the record
for West Coast hematites. Prospects continue
good all ronnd; the proDability being that tbe
demand will show further development and
that quotations will further advance. Mixed
numbers of Bessemer iron were at Monday's
market quoted 73s 80, and No. 3 forge 72s 9d.
Stock are again smaller, deliveries being large
both by rail and sea; and all the output going
into consumption.
For some time past Denver capitalists and
Eastern millionaires have been engaged in or
ganizing an improvement company to be located
in the Trinity "Valley, Texas. The object of the
corporation is the reclamation of 100,000 acres
of land In the Trinity Valley, near Dallas. This
is to bn done by straightening the channel of
the river, which is very winding. By this means
the river during a flood can carry off a heavy
volnme of water with much greater rapidity
than it now does. After straightening the
channel rast levees will be thrown up on either
side for five miles. Competent engineers de
clare this work will bring about the desired
result and that it is practicable. The estimates
of the entire work range from 750,000 to
SL500,00a
Trinity Valley is one of the richest tracts of
land in the State of Texas, and if the 100,000
acres were reclaimed and turned into a truck
farm enough produce could be raised to supply
the entire region west of the Mississippi river.
The value ofthe laud will be raised from prac
tically nothing to at least S100 an acre,orS10,
000,000 for the entire tract. It is understood
that the various owners of the property
are willing to go into the scheme and put their
land in for stock in tbe company. If the project
is- carried ont it will constitute the largest
work of internal improvement ever under
taken in Texas.
WORSE AND BE1TEE.
Some of tbo Local eitock Weaker and Some
a Little Sironser.
Philadelphia Gas was the only stock that
showed any activity yesterday. It opened with
a sale at 2 dropped to 2, rallied to 29,
and closed at that figure, with 29K asked.
There were office sales at 29. One hundred and
eighty shares of it changed hands.
Some think it is scraping bottom, while
others contend that tbe general liquidation
that is going on in consequence of approaching
yearly settlements and tbo prospect of tight
money during the rest of the month, will give
It a severer twist than has yet been experi
enced. However this maybe, it is a fact that
public confidence in natural gas stocks gener
ally is rather shaky, and must be counteracted
by opening up new territory or otherwise giving
assurance of nermanent earnings before a
material rally can reasonably be expected.
The tractions are temporarily out of the
market, although holding fairly well around
the old figures. Continued involvement in
legal and other difficulties renders' this stock
particularly undesirable at this time Nobody
wants to purchase an interest in a lawsuit or

Oil Still Slipping Down and Bad Show for a
Rally.
Petroleum approached dangerously near to
tbe dollar line yesterday. The market opened
at 104, highest 10 lowest 101, closing 102,
and was active and dull by spells. R. N. Rob
inson was tbe principal local bear. He sold
100.000 barrels. There was some bnying, but
not enough to sustain values. New York was
on both sides of the fence. Bradford was a
light buyer.
Trading was fair, but none of It can be cred
ited to outsiders, who grasp their pocketbooks
all the tighter whenever oil is mentioned to
them. Opinion is divided as to the outcome of
the slump. There are those who think it will
not be arrested before touching a dollar. The
heavy realizing in tbe general run of specula
tive commodities favors this view.

oi tbe Day.
New Yobk, December 5. The stock market
to-day was professional in Its charaoter. The
fluctuations were confined to the smallest lim
its, and the stocks in which important move
ments were made were less than a half dozen.
London was less of a factor than for tbe past
few days. The money market was noticeably
easier. The market was only .spasmodically ac
tive The early demand for stocks was marked
by considerable strength in Wheeling and Lake
Erie preferred, Missouri Pacific, Denver, Texas
an'i Fort Worth, and Northwestern, but the
bears afterward attacked New England and
Missouri Pacific Rock Island, Atchison and
Burlington and CJuiney, and the upward move
ment came to a halt.
The great feature of the day was the weak
ness and decline in the Chicago and East Illi
nois stocks, tbe common yielding 3 per cent
and the preferred 2, tbe raid being caused by
the application to the list of 10,000 additional
shares of the common stocks, tbe proceeds of
the sale, which have been used In betterment
upon tbe road.
The rest of the list was stronger In the after
noon, but the improvement was slight and the
market closed Steady to firm at insignificant
changes from tbe opening prices a a rule The
advances are in the majority, however.
The dealings in railroad bonds were marked
by tbe same irregularity as those In stocks.

Trade is active and coffee and sugar are firm
enough to go np higher at an early day. Ad
vices from New Orleans indicate a short yield
of choice open kettle molasses. Reliable esti
mates place a shortage of 60 per centfrom last
year. These estimates have stimulated prices
and an advance of 2 to 3c per gallon since last
week is reported. Choice New Orleans mo
lasses are no doubt a good purchase at present
prices, as a further advance is about as certain
as anything future can be.

A Dreara.
Last night when lost in slumber
I had a sad. sad dream
I dreamt that I was wandering
Beside a woodland stream.
Around and all about me
Grew flowers fresh and fair;
Anemones and violets
Bloomed in profusion there.
But lot I stooped to pick them
And in place of flowers fair
Naught but dark, uead leaves
Lay scattered about me there.
i
Morning dawned and gazing about me
The dream proved all too true
For autumn's leaves were falling
And lay where the flowers grew.
I searched in vain for one bright flower,
But, alas! not one was there.
Nothing but leaves, faded and sear.
On tbe ground and in the air.
Once my lite, as in tbe dream
Was bright as a summer's day.
And I wandered tbrougb tbe woodland
Gathering flowers along my way.
Now searching for the flowers
That once bloomed for me so bright
I find naught but the dark, dead leaves
As in my dream last nigbt
