PEOSPEGTS FOE HIGHER PRICES.
Desirable Irons Are Reported Very Scarce
at Chicago.
AN EXPANSION OP CAPACITI CERTAIN
There are few chances in the iron and
steel'situation since our last Saturday's re
view. Trade is quiet, as is the custom at
sthitime oi the year. Prices are fairly
SSmaintained and there are no signs oi a re
daction to the boom which started since sum
mer. "Works are running to their full ca
pacity, and while this lasts prices will be
maintained. Orders for Lake Superior ores
are placed for months ahead, a thing an-
P usual among our iron workers. Manufact
urers who place their orders in the spring
bare this season taken time by the forelock
and ordered in December sufficient material
to J;eep them working until spring.
Since June mill iron has advanced from
$4 to $4 50 per ton. Bessemer iron has
advanceaSS In the same time. The latter sold
as low as 16 a ton. with some shading In this
i!te price last summer. Now it is Arm at $21 per
period is equal to $10 per ton. At the advance
orders arc placed with the Edgar Thomson
Steel Works at Braddock sufficient to keep
them running from now till spring.

by our furnaces the past) ear exceeds 3,000,000

The quietness of the past two weeks In Iron
and steel is due to the facts that this Is the
time for repairing and cleaning up, and that
heavy stocks had been laid In with a view to
lucber prices. While demand is not up to
what it was two weeks ago, the following prices
are fully maintained:

AX ENGLISH VIEW.
A Wolverhampton, Eng, correspondent, in
referring to the iron trade, says: "Many eyes
are turned toward the United States in the
hope that we may yet experience considerable
benefit from your side, but England and
America appear to be running a neck and neclc
race. The extension of the United States boom
and the collapse of the boom in England are
almost the only conditions under which a great
American demand could be expected. A sharp
reaction in England concurrent! y-with a heavy
rise in the States might be all very well for
manufacturers in this country dependent upon
an American traae, but the reaction would be
too high a price to pay. The majority of
traders here are of this opinion, and conse
quently they are devoting their energies to cul
tivating markets outside the bounds of yonr
triumphant democracy, leaving the morrow
which may or may not bring great things from
your side to take care of itself. The charac
teristic of greater steadiness which has recently
been noticeable in trade is still apparent,
thongh speculation still flutters up now and
again in the northern markets."

pjt, The Anticipated Demand Will Require an
Expansion of Capacity.
irrxcxai. Txxzon-or to tui dispatch.!
'.New Toes; December 27. The railroad
companies, car builders, ship builders and
other large buyers will soon be in the market
tor large supplies of merchant bars, plates and
structural iron and the present mill capacity
will scarcely be sufficient to meet the antici
pated requirements of 1890. Iron and steel
uails are moving freely. Bessemer steel biUets
are in exceptionally active demand and prices
are quotably higher than a week ago.
Tho demand for castings, for Bessemer pig, for
suf t steel for all purposes, and for material for
b orking up into shapes for agricultural re
quirements and for barbed wire, promises to
be extraordinary, and the iron and steel makers
are hurrying forward their preparations for an
expansion of capacity in almost every branch
of the iron trade. The upward tendency in
prices will probably continue at least until it
is demonstrated that the capacity Is abundantly
sufficient to take care of next year's demands.
Disquieting rumors gain currency Sat many
jxiin ts of such an advance in prices as will nrove
disastrous to promoters of new enterprises who
have not yet arranged for supplies. While
there.is a strong unwardtendencv.it is not
generally believed that there exist good grounds
for such an apprehension. Mnch. of course,
depends upon the action of the railroad build
ers, and so far as they have indicated their in
tentions, the demands for material for railroad
construction purposes will be of moderate di
mensions. Quotations for steel rails at Eastern mills are
S35 for large lots, and $373750 in Western
mills. Iron and steel prices (at mill or furnace)

The Strength of ibe Iron Situation Is Uni

rETZCIJU. TXXEQBAK TO THX DISFATCH.1
Philadelphia, DecemDer 27. The volume
of business this week is no criterion for the
iron market. No large sales are reported and
none are likely to be made until the opening of
the new year. Sellers are holding all kinds of
stock firmly, however, ana making no conces
sions to Duyers, as the strength of the situation
seems to be universally admitted. Foreign
advices report the British market am
to strong and fairly active, as to Scotch and
Bessemer pig, and a good demand for steel
rails, blooms and billets. The domestic market
remains firm with prices unchanged. The
shifting of manufactured iron from classes
live and six to classes four and live, by the rail
roads in their classification of freight has re
sulted in an advance in charges for tolls of
about 3 cents per 100 pounds upon shipments
from Pittsburg to this citv. This is virtually a
restoration of the old tariff which was in force
before the late depression in the iron trade and
the effect of the advance is materially felt
now. No. 1 American pig iron is held at
819 6020 in this citv. and a sneelsvl dianatrh
from Cincinnati to the Bulletin of the Iron and
Steel Association quotes hot blast foundry pi"

Chicago. December 27. Rogers, Brown &

proof of the real scarcity 6f desirable irons In
this market tho past week than our buyers
were hitherto willing to believe. Some of tho
best-known Ohio brands have disappeared
from the market. Tho furnaces have
taken Bessemer contracts. Other Ohio
softeners are withdrawn because oversold for
the next 60 days. The Illinois Steel Company
are understood to be offering no foundry or

A CANDID YANKEE 'SQUIRE.
HI Commission Pnt Himself and the Gov
ernor in a Dilemma.
From the Boston Gazette.
A good story is told of the late Hon. B. B.
Forbes. In 1S76 Governor Rica commissioned
him a Justice of the Peace, an office he had
never held. A few weeks later the Commodore
entered the counting room of Messrs. Rice.
Kendall Co. and Inquired for the Governor,
saying that he had songht his Excellency in
vain at the State House, where he was informed
that he might find him at his store. Colonel
Rice, son of the Governor, told Commodore
Forbes that the Governor was elsewhere en
gaged, and could not be seen for some hours,
and offered to convey to him any message that
might be intrusted to him. Seating himself
and leaning upon his cane with both hands, the
old gentleman said thoughtfully:
'Several weeks since Governor Rice honored
me with a commission as Justice of the Peace.
I have come to ask him to revoke it The fact
Is I have a troublesome neighbor, whose annoy
ances increase constantly to such an extent
that I have made up my mind to give the fellow
a thrashing. Now, on reading my commission
carefully IJlnct that 1 cannot thrash the rascal
-without breaking my oath to "reserve the peace
of the Commonwealth, and 1 have therefore
come to beg your father to revoke my commis
sion." Ha said this in all soberness and good faith.
Colonel Rice's reply was to the effect that
"Commodore Forbes should remember that the
Governor had also taken an oath, not less sol
emn than his own, to support tho laws of the
State, and if he should revoke Commodore
Forbes commission for the purpose of permit
ting bim to break willfully a law, his own con
science would be quite as difficult to satisfy as
would be Mr. Forbes'.'
The venerable mariner said that this aspect
of the case bad not entered Ills mind, but he
now saw the force of the reasoning. On retir
ing from the store, however, the irascible old
gentleman murmured, in a tone half of anger
ana half of sadness: "I think I must thrash the
chap anyhow."
V ' THE" "PITTSBURG- . DISPATOHf-
BUTLER'S BIG PLANT.
Salt andChemical Company Launched
TYith a Capital of 5400,000.
OPERATION TO BEGIN AT ONCE.
A Business Ban Talks of Bad .Roads and
Suggests State Supervision.
TRXIKG TO S0LYE THE OIL PUZZLE
, The Butler Salt and Chemical Company,
the organization and objects of which were
noted in The Dispatch a few days ago,
was fairly launched upon the business sea
yesterday, when a meeting of the Board of
Directors was held in Butler.
A statement of the condition of the com
pany was, submitted, which proved highly
satisfactory, holding forth the prospect of a
large and lucrative business. The board
passed a resolution commendatory of the
projector, Mr. Joseph Brittain, for the un
expected success which has crowned his ef
forts thus far, and receive from him a list of
the specialties which it is proposed to manu
facture '
The capital stock has been fixed at 8400,000,
not $300,000, as previously stated, a large part
of which is held by capitalists in Butler, but
several considerable blocks of it have been
placed In Pittsburg.
At the meeting yesterday it was determined
to put the works In operation as soon as the
buildings shall have been completed, which will
bo in two or three weeks.
There is no boom in real estate or anything
else in Pittsburg. The growth of the city and
expansion of business are substantial, and,
therefore, permanent It is the growth that
invites capital. It is the growth that induces
the most cautious to invest In real estate- It is
the healthy condition that invites and justifies
confidence. In short, Pittsburg to-day fur
nishes abundant evidence to capitalists here
and abroad of opportunities for as safe and
profitable investments as are to be found In the
country.
The agitation for the Improvement of the
roads in' Western Pennsylvania is taking strong
hold of the public mind. Said a business man
yesterday: "While no one doubts that good
roads add largely to the value of agricultural
property, to say nothing of the increased com
fort and convenience which they confer upon
all who use them, not a single legislator, so far
as I know, has had the conrage to advocate a
measure of reform that is broad enough to
completely remove the difficulty.
"Attention having been called to this impor
tant matter in a way that cannot be ignored. I
am confident the Legislature will take some
action at the coming session. We want better
State supervision. The supervisor system has
been thoroughly tested and found wanting. I
have no theory or bobby. Any law that will
insure satisfactory results will suit me. Alll
want is good roads, which will be a credit in
stead of a disgrace to the State."
Messrs. Hammond t Son, who disposed of
their property known as the old Pennsylvania
Forge to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
have not yet decided upon a new location for
their plant Some time ago a large tract of
land was offered them at Mansfield, and it was
supposed they would erect a mill at that place,
bnt lately there has been a hitch in the pro
ceeding caused by the owner of the land want
ing to pnt a road through the center of the
plot, which the company objected to. It is
quite probahle that Mansfield will not secure
the location of ,the mill, bnt that it will be some
point on the Pennsylvania Railroad, as several
good offers have been made in that direction.
The apathy which pervades and dominates
the petroleum market is a puzzle which many
have tried to work out The American 2fanu
faclurcr has taken up the subject and submits
the following as asolution. It is as satisfactory
as any explanation which has preceded it:
"Heretofore Lima oil has not been very much
considered in its actual or possible influence on
the price of Pennsylvania oil. Bnt persistent
experiments hive been carried on for the last
several years in the refining of Lima oil, and
by more than one expert is it now claimed that
this disagreeable sulphurous prodnct may be
made as pure as any oil of Pennsylvania. If
this fact be established, the effect must be to
raise the price of Lima crude, and at the same
time lower the price of Pennsylvania crude, or,
at least, prevent its further rising. So far. to
be sure, refined Lima has not become an im
portant factor, but in the face of its possibili
ties, it is to be expected that Pennsylvania oil
should be, so to say, non-committal.
"The Russian influence is more serious, and
so long as the foreign consumption of American
oil is creater than the native consumption, the
competition of Rnssian oil must always be
strongly felt The recent temporary rise in the
price of Pennsylvania crnde may probably
have been due altogether to the emphatically
stated rumor of a threatened exhaustion of the
Baku field in Russia. Prof. Mendeljeff, how
ever, has absolutely denied and proved the
falseness of this rumor."
A test was recently made with the Qulnne
mont, W. Va., bituminous coal at toe Chicago
pumping works. Fires were started in three
furnaces. The chimneys emitted no smoke,
notwithstanding that no steam et or smoke
consuming contrivance was used. Thirty-four
thousand six hundred pounds of coal were con
sumed, evaporating S3S.400 pounfls, being 9 8-10
pounds of water to 1 pound of coal. One very
notable feature was the remarkably small pro
portion of ash, being not more than 2 per cent
The chief engineer pronounces the coal a won
derful fuel.
During the month of November the produc
tion of anthracite coal, as shown by tne state
ment of the Bureau of Anthracite Coal Statis
tic was 8,372,814 tons, a falling off of 165,053
tons from the shipments of the same month
last year. At the close of November the stock
of coal on hand at tide-water shipping points
was 771.S34 tons, an increase of 66,425 tons over
the stock of the month preceding. Dnring the
week ended December 14, 728.845 tons were pro
duced. 16,555 tons more than the output of De
cember, 1SSS. The total production of anthra
cite coal for this year up to December 14. was
34,076,825 tons, a decrease of 2,914,619 tons com
pared with the ontput for the same period last
year.
STOCKS HOLD THEIR 0W.
A Few Advances and No Material Declines
. Brokers Still Hopeful.
A fair business for the inter-holiday season
was transacted in stocks yesterday, the sales
footing up 360 shares, all but ten being con
tributed by Central Traction and Philadelphia
Gas. The sentiment among the brokers was
rather bullish. They are confident of a .more
active market af ter W e w Year's.
Luster continued its upward movement It
was bid up to 40, but none of it was offered
under 50. It is understood a small lot was sold
on Thursday at 38. Philadelphia Gas was an
other strong feature, but the tractions were
slightly weaker. The remainder of the list
showed no important change.

The Market Handicapped bj Uncertainty
and News Unimportant.
The pll market was weak at the opening yes
terday, but in a short time the local crowd took
bold and bulled it up a little. Oil City fol
lowed Pittsburg, butBradford took the opposite
course and sold. The result of the triangular
contest was a gradual subsidence of the up
ward movement, bnt the strength was not alto
gether lost, as the feeling at the close was
rather firm. Trading here was light probably
20.000 barrels. Thursday's clearances were
78.000 barrels.
Tne opening was 103: highest 101J& lowest,
103. closing 103. News was scarce and un
important A broker remarked: "Russian oil
seems to be crowding the Pennsylvania prodnct
in the Old, World, while at home it is handi
capped by the Buckeye output I wouldn't be
surprised to see the latter certificated before
tne end of the coming year. There is so mnch
doubt and uncertainty surrounding the market
that improvement seems impossible at pres
ent" Fenlnres of the Market.

Money Elevated to a Point Which Made
Wall Street Stnre A Rally In
Sugar Railroad Bouda
Weak and Fea
tureless. New York, December 27. In the stock mar
ket to-day the transactions actually made in
stocks were of small moment, and the absorb
ing feature was in the money market, which as
usual of late upon Fridays, was given a little
squeeze. The rate for call loans rnled all the
first bonr at about 89 per cent bnt soon after
that it began to advance, and from 9 It went to
12, and with one stride 20 was bid. The passage
to 30 was quick, but that was the maximum for
the day.
The reaction was almost as sndden, as dnring
most of tho afternoon it ruled at 15 to 20. but
after all borrowers were accommodated it was
offered down to & per cent at the close. The
wonder was that with such a rate for money
and all the speculative powers enlisted upon
the side of low prices, that there should be no
further decline than was had, but the market
remained fairly steady throughout tbe greater
portion of the day with a sagging tendency at
times in tbe general list
The high rates for moneyagaln brought down
the rates lor sterling exchange, and the de
mand rate is now nitbin tbe gold importing
point, which gave rise to rumors of an engage
ment of goldnpon the other side for shipment
to this country. The feeling was that the im
portation of gold could not be long delayed,
and this served more than anythlne else to
buoy up the market for stocks. The only feat
ure of tbe dealings of interest to-day was the
rally In Sugar refineries, after a slight decline
in the early trading, which had every appear
ance of covering of shorts, and from 66 tbe
stock advanced to S9, but settled back again
to 58 at the close.
Notwithstanding the bearish feeling upon
the coal stocks on the traders, Lackawanna
was well held, and even showed some strength
in the forenoon. Richmoad and West Point
was weak in the early trading: declining nearly
I per cent but rallied somewhat later. Union
SATURDAY, DECEMBER;
Pacific and Burlington also displayed a heavy
tone throughout, and the latter ended with a
material loss, The .decline In Denver, Texas
and Fort Worth was continued, though its net
loss was only fractional. The other changes
were entirely insignificant and the market
closed fairly steady and dull, but generally at
something under opening figures.
Rallroaa bonds snow also a steadily diminish
ing volume of Duslness, and sales to-day were
only 8703,000. The tendency as in stocks was
rather in favor of lower figures, and most issues
are slightly lower, though the important ones
are few In number.

HO PDNCH ON NEW lEAE'S.
Many Wnshlnston Ladles Slint Down on
Wine at Receptions.
Washington Correspondence Wew York Snn.
The New Year's reception is dying out in
Washington. Year by year tho ladles receiv
ing calls decrease In number, and the reception
of tbe first of January, 1890, will be confined to
the White House, the mansions of the Cabinet
Ministers and the houses of some few ladies of
the Senate and the Supreme Court The wife
of tbe President and a nnmberof Senatorial
ladies tell me that tbe reason for this comes
from the custom of serving punch at New
Year's, and the day when New Year's calls
make the excuse for a grand Washington
spree will soon be gone forever. This year
Washington society, with tbe exceptions above
spoken of, will leave abutter and a basket to
receive the cards of tbe backwoods Congress
men and others who have not kept np with the
times. Many of tho girls will go to the mati
nee in the afternoon, and there will be a num
ber of big balls In the evening. In all proba
bility not a dozen houses which will be open
next Wednesday will have a punch-bowl.
The sentiment among the people which bas
made Kansas, Inwa and Maine prohibition
States has affected In acreatpart the rest of
the Union, and a Senator's wife tells me that
the leading ladies in all the aid societies of the
churches in her little town held a. prayer meet
ing Just before she started for Washington and
asked God to enable her to resist tbe evils and
corruptions at tbe capital.
There is, however, only one public man here
who dares to give a dinner without wine. He
is a Senator, and when he came in a few years
ago he announced brashly that he would give
as many dinners as he chose, with never a drop
to drink. He did give them, and on each occa
sion his roof covered more suppressed swearing
than the roof of a cowboy's ranch.
t-MRS. PARTINGTON, that
good old lady, lias come out of her
retirement, and started on a jour
ney around the world. Bead, to
morrow's DISPATCH.

MAEKETS BY WIBR
Wheat Slow and Prices S.llll on tbeWq
Tbe Hessian Fly Story Denied Pork
Continues to Vavor Bayers.
CHICAGO There was a quiet, slow trade In
the wheat market to-day, and tbe closing was
Ko lower for May and tea lower for December.
The opening was about the same as the closing
of yesterday, bnt there was a fair quantity of
wheat on sale, thought by some to be long, and"
an easier feeling developed, prices declining
Kc A tight money marker was reported at
New York, and that market was lower. Tho
reports in regard to the Hessian fly were de
nied to-day.
The market recovered slightly from the early
decline, influenced by tbe rather liberal export
movement but tbeimprovement did not hold
throughout the session. Around 82c for May
the market was sustalneoTby good baying.
A fair trade-was reported in corn, tbe mar
ket ruling firm early, bur as tbe session ad
vanced became quiet and easy, thongh at the
close was active, at inside prices. The market
opened at yesterday's closing prices, and under
a good demand from local shorts, who sold
heavily for several days past advanced Kc.
The demand, however, soon became satisfied,
offerings-being large, and the market declined
KHV became quiet and closed JiQJic lower
than yesterday. The late decline was attrib
uted to large receipts and weakness in wheat
Oats were active. All the Interest, however,
centered in May. There was free selling by a
large operator and liberal coverings of "shorts"
by parties who sold at slightly higher prices.
A good many buying orders fur May at 22c were
on the market all of which were executed.
A fair trado was reported in pork, but tbe
feellnc was unsettled, and prices favored buy
ers. A decline of 25c was submitted to, and
the market closed steady, at medium figures.
A moderate trade was done in lard, with tbe
interest centered In January delivery. Prices
were weak, and 25c lower.
Short ribs were dull, prices ruling 25c
lower. Tbe market closed firm.
