EXCELLEHT OUTLOOK IN HEW YORK.
Confidence There in Heavy Production and
High Prices.
THE MAKKEIS IN pTHEE CITIES
The iron and steel situation has developed
Jew new features in the past week. Prices
are well maintained since the beginning of
the year, and while there is no active move
ment, there am no signs of a reaction to the
recent boom. Bessemer and gray forge
iron are in good demand for this time of the
year, and any change of prices will be up
ward. Merchant bar iron, which dropped last
summer to $1 65, the lowest price for many
a long year, is now very firm at $1 95 to
52 00 per ton. Said a representative of one
of our leading iron firms to-day: "I have
never If nown tbe outlook better than it is at
this time. Orders axe brisk and prices are firm
all along tbe line.
In tbe middle of October pig iron was qnoted
in Mew York and Liverpool at 117 per ton, now
it is firm at $18 SO. Tbe advance in Bessemer
pig tbe past six months has been fully $S per
ton.
- TTHEIJE THE BOOM STARTED.
The upward movement of iron and steel
started across the sea. lost July steel rails
were dull in England at $18 per ton. Now they
are brisk at nearly double that fignrc. The
quotations on steel rails December 31, 1SS9, in
Britain were 7 2s. OcL.whJcii is nearly toe same
as quotations at tbe Edgar Thomson works.
Tbe advance in pricet of steel has been much
greater across the water tban here. The lowest
figure reached on steel rails this side was $26
per ton. Now the entire product of the Edgar
Thomson is sold ahead" till summer at $10 ad
vance on this rate.
With the upward movement in Enrope and
firmness of prices there, there is no likelihood
of a reaction to the iron and steel boom on this
side of tbe poud for tbe year to come. All our
iron masters are very firm in their views of
markets, and tbe biggest year on record is be
fore ns in this line nnless all signs fail.

AN EtfCELLEKT OUTLOOK.
Continued Henry Production and Higher
Prices Confidently Expected.
IFICt,i.L TELIGBJLM TO THE DISrATCK.1
New York, January 10. The iron trade of
'S3 was very satisfactory. There was a moder
ate increase in production during the first half,
a continuation of tbe movement during tbe
concluding half of 'S; but during tbe six
months ended December 31, 1889, the
production was quite heavy, amounting at
the close of the period last named to
some 20,000 tons weekly more than It did in July
last. Manufacturers hare acted conserva
tively in that they have declined to mark prices
up sharply or to otherwise stimulate a boom,
the new year starting in with No. Ji foundry
pig irons only $2 per ton higher than
one year previously, an advance of 11
per cent, pr from $18 to $20 on tbe
year. Tbe heavy demand for iron came from
gas and water and other Iron pipe makers and
from railway companies, tbe latter having
done an enormous .amount of business at re
newing and increasing rolling stock, which
calls for great quantities of iron. Tbe Increased
useotiron(aswellassteel)in building,aswellas
for bridges, must likewise be taken into ac
count, and with items previously mentioned
will account for the bulk of the increase in
production of pig iron. Tbe closing quotations
for the year were uniformly the highest.
Tbe outlook for 1890 is for continued heavy
production and higher prices. We cannot get
extra supplies from abroad with which to keep
down prices here so long as consumption equals
or barely leads production: and tbe moment a
boom starts prices will co as high as it suits
them to. The United Kingdom, Belgium, Ger
many and France have no iron to send us, be
ine crowded with business for future delivery.
Hignest and lpwet prices for tbe vear 1BS9:
At New York: Pig iron Anthracite No. 1
opened at $20, closed at $18 per ton: Anthracite
No. 2 opened, at $19, closed at $17 per ton;
Gray forge opened at $18, closed at $16 tier ton.
Steel rails Opened at $35, closed at $283ft
Copper Lake, 1417.30c per pound.
Lead Common, domestic, 3.S53.90c per
pound.
Tin Straits, 2l21.90c per pound.
Spelter Common, domestic 5.505.90c per
pound.
At New York City tbe trade in lead has been
about equal to that of former years. The
stock or lead in store is about 11,000 tons, of
which 2,500 tons were accumulated durine'89.
Tbe average price or lead for the year is S3 85.
At tbe lose values are about $3 90 for corrod
ing, with $3 85 bid. The average prices of pig
lead in Chicago in late years, compiled by
Everett fc Post, Chicago, 11U. are $3 67K in
18S9; in J8S8, $4 30; in 18S7, $4 31; in 1886, $4 50; in
18S5. $3 83: in 1884. $3 58.
Tbe copper market has been conspicuously
irreeular, the opening of '89 bringing with It a
price of 17Jc for lake at New York 'and very
firm at that, with copper stocks well cornered
by the French-English syndicate. In March
the copper corner collapsed and the price at
New York broke to 13Jc and in Mav,
after tbe failure of negotiations be
tween the American and foreign delegates to a
"copper conference" to agree upon a policy for
holding available stocks tbe quotation atNew
York sank to 12 cents and in June to 11 cents
per pound. A price was finally arranged at 12
cents for the American trade in August, but It
disappeared a month later and tbe quotation
became lOJc, the occasion being toe final col
lapse of the American combination. At lie
for lake, tbe trade came forward with free
orders in October, and the demand since then
has been brisk, advancing the price steadily
from 12c in November to 14Uc in December
ana uy,c prior to ine close or tne year.
Tin opened at 21.95c per pound at New York,
drained slowly to 21.05c after the collapse of the
copper corner at the end or March, and to 20fc
a month and two months later, and to 19.65c in
in June. From Jnly on until the
end ot the year there was a
moderate increase, in strength and
appreciation inpnee, until in October 22 cents
was reached. From this until the close of tbe
year reaction was the order, the closing price
being 21.15c. Importations of tin into tbe
United btates were lareer in 1889 than in 1888,
when they aggregated 31,294,135 pounds.

VPKCTAI. TBtrORAM TO TBI DISPATCH.!
Ciircnw ATI, January 10. In their Iron Cir
cular, Rogers, Brown & Cov, say: As was to
have been expected, tbe first few days of the
sew year have been rathecquiet. Foundries
and mills have been occupied with taking stpcx
and counting tbe year's business. Judging
from expressions from 'many leading concerns,
the results have been almost uniformly gratify,
ing, and all agree that so far as the new year
has developed, prospects are uniformly favora
ble. Toward tbe close of the week tbere was a
noticeable Increase in demand aud tbe market
again took on some appearance of activity.
1 be last advance in Southern freight rates add
ed to full prices at furnaces have thrown figures
for Southern coke irons at most northern
points beyond what buyers are willing to pay.
Furnaces, however, are so heavily sold that
tbey feel strong in their position.
Collapse In the Scotch Iran Market,
Glasgow, January 10. There was a collapse j
in the pig iron market to-day, owing to large
selling orders. Scotch warrants have fallen Is,
and Cleveland warrants Is, 6d, and a further
drop is expected.

t SPECIAL TELXOBAU TO TUX DISPATCR.1
Pbh.adei.fhia, January 10. The iron mar
ket is dull but firm. So many large orders
were placed during the latter part of
1SS9 that the demand which would create
new business Is light. Numerous contracts
were placed for three months, while others ex
tended for six months or a year. Tbe manu
facturers are thus kept busy, and the product
of furnaces abd mills being sold In advance,
prices are well maintained.
Prices on pig iron at tidewater are $20 per ton
for No. 1 Foundry, $19 for No. 2 Foundry, and
$18 Grey Forge, and anything fancy on either
grade is held at 50 cents per ton above these
figures.
The range on old rails is fairly covered at
$2 8 to 29 per ton and a fair volnm e of business is
being transacted $2860. Steel rails are quiet
but firm at $36 per ton, free on board atthemill.
Muck bars show an advance of fully 50 cents
per ton for tbe weekat$32to$33 at the milLOther
grades of manufactured iron are worth as fol
lows: Plates 2.25 to 2,25, angles 2 to 20 to
230, tees 2.60 to 2.75, beams and channels 3,
Lmercbant bars 2,1, sbeep groved 1.9 to 2 cents,
sbeep sheared 2.1 to 2.2 cents. One of tbe im
portant contracts in the West thisweek was an
order for 5,000 tons of steel plate at $60 per ton
at the mill placed by the American Steel Com
pany, of Duluth, with Andrew Carnegln. The
production of pig iron in the South has in
creased from 212,722 tons m 18S0 to 1,396,903 tons
inlSSSL
An Active Demand Expected.
tSrZCIAI. TEX.K3BAX TO TBS PISPATCIM
Chicago, January 10. Rogers, Brown 4 Co.,
in their weekly review, say: Inquires are com
ing in freely lor small requirements of fonn
drymen, and occasionally large buyers sound
the market for round lots for long-scattered
deliveries. The amount of business rounded
up during the week has not been large, but
sellers think there is every reason to look for
an active and healthy demand as soon as busi
ness incident to stock-taking is ont of the way.
Lake Superior charcoal iron is very firm, and
sellers are holding to $23 60 cash or higher.
There has been some tradinc in Southern coke
irons, but their, prices still rule rather high for
this market.

The features of the week in prodnce lines
have been tne drop in eggs and country butter.
Last Saturday jobbing price of eggs was 25c per
dozen. Now markets are slow at 18c Soft
weather is responsible for tbe drop. Poultry
of all kinds is scarce and prices are firm at an

Fresh Bermuda onions and Florida tomatoes
are to be found on the stalls, a thing unknown
by tbe oldest inhabitant this early in the sea
son. Another remarkable feature of the mar
kets is the presence of fresh fish from the
lakes. Frozen stock is in light supply, but
this is offset by tbe fact that fishermen are still
able to secure a supply of fresh fish, a thing
almost unknown at wis ume oi me year in

BIG MONET FOR LAND.
People Stirred Up Over the Eecord
Breaking Deal on Fourth Avenne.
THE LOCATION STILL IN THE DARK.
numerous Wise and Unwise Guesses Bade,
bnt None of Them Hit tbe Ball's Eye.
AN EAST WAT TO ACQUIRE HOMEB
The publication in The Dispatch of
yesterday of .the sale of a business property
on Fourth avenue, "not two squares from
the Dollar Savings Bank," at the rate of
$4,400 a front foot, furnished occasion for a
great deal of talk among business men of
all classes, and many inquiries were made
as to 'its location. A number of guesses
werS hazarded, but none of them -hit the
mark.
An evening caper Ventured the assertion
that it was the McCombs property, corner of
Fourth avenue and Wood street, and that
the Tradesmen's National Bank was the
purchaser. "Wliile the location of the prop
erty cannot be given for a day or two, owing
to some legal formalities which have not
been adjusted, it can be stated in the most
positive terms that neither of the above
statements is correct It is not the Mc
Combs property, and the Tradesmen's Na
tional is not the purchaser. The sale was
bona fide, ana the price realized was, as stated
in The Dispatch, the highest on record in
Pittsburg.
In connection with this it may be stated that
$5,000 a foot front has been offered for a piece
ot Fifth avenue property, not very far from the
postofflce. The owner acknowledges this is a
high price, but thinks be can get a little mor,
He may, however, accept the $5,000 offer.
' " .
An institution which would advance loans to
persons of small means to buy homes and en
able them to pay for them in small installments
has long been needed in Pittsburg. After a
great deal of effort W A. Herron fe Sons have
supplied the vacuum by making an arrange
ment with the United Becurity Life Insurance
and Trust Company, whereby the purchaser,
by paying down 20 or 25 per cent of tie pur
chase price of the property, can arrange to ad
vance tbe remainder of tbe money
and Day cash for his property,
and thus bny at the lowest price
and pay back the money advanced in 5, 10. 15 or
20 years in monthly or quarterly payments of
small sums, and at tbe same time cave his life
insured. If the purchaser should die before full
payment is made the debt would be canceled,
leaving tbe property clear to bis widow or heirs.
It is understood that tbe new company will
have close relations with the Fidelity Title and
Trust Company, several ot tbe leading stock
holders of the latter being interested in it This
alone will serve to recommend the new ventnre
in the highest manner to tbe local public, and
will at once give it high standing.
Prot Edward Orton, State Geologist of
Ohio, recently read a paper on tbe rock pres
sure of natural gas, of which the following is
th concluding paragraph: "There is no danger
that the great gas reservoirs of to-day will
'cave in' or 'blowup' after the gas Is withdrawn
from them. The gas will not leave the porous
rock until the salt water obliges it to by driv
ing it qnt and taking its place The doctrine
lays the ax at tbe root of all the optimistic
theories which blossom out in every district
where natural gas is discovered, and especially
among the real estate operators of each new
field, to the effect that natnre will not fail to
perpetually maintain or perpetually renew tbe
supplies which wo find so delightfully adapted
to our comfort and service. So far as we are
concerned, it is certain that nature has done .
abont all that she is going to do in this line.
Judging from tbe .present indications, the
Trenton limestone gas in Ohio is not likely to
be longlived. It seems entirely probable that
the term of its future duration can be ex
pressed within the limits of a number of one
digit. In considerable sections of tbe field the
salt water is very aggressive. It requires a
steadily increasing pressure on the wells to
hold it back.
Tbe importance of Pittsburg as an oil center
and'tbe rapid development of territory In the
surrounding country, lend special interest to
the movements of this product in other parts
of tbe world. Among .the latest and most In
teresting contributions to petrolenm history is
the report of United States Consul Pettns, at
Peking, China, regarding the consumption of
oii in that country and of Russian operations
at Baku. He says:
"One of the most striking features of recent
customs returns is tbe immense and rapid
growth in the import of Russian kerosene oil
into this country. Indeed, judging byjic leaps
and bonnds by which the new trade has ad
vanced, one might, with reason, conclude that
the American oil was giving way before that
of the Muscovites. Brother Jonathan had
snrely needs bestirliimself or the oil wells of
Pennsylvania and other States will cease to
supply this illuminant to the far East as they
have done for years past. It is not hard to ex
plain the reason of tbe progress of Russian oil
here. It is somewhat cheaper than its older
rival, and its sources of production at Baku
are simply unlimited,
"Mr. Charles Marvin, in that highly interest
ing volnme, "Tbe Region of Eternal Fire,"
writing of tbe oil snpply at Baku, which he
terms "tbe real base of Russian operations
against India," and, contrasting the resources
of the Russian with those of the American oil
supply, says that he saw 400 wells around Bakji,
all at different depths, and therefore appar
ently springing from independent reservoirs.
Some of these wells varied in depth from 295
'to 630 feet while one well which had been
worked for generations was only 70 feet below
tbe surface. Tbe famous Droobja fountain
well, 'spouting oil 300 feet high at the rate of
2,000,000 gallons per diem, came from a depth
of 674 feet which shows the enormous natural
forces which must have been at work below,
while all around were small wells of 300 feet
deep, throwing up their spouts of tbe valuable
oil quite unaffected by the giant well or Droob
ja. Many of thepumpings had been worked
from remote times without any apparent dimi
nution of their resources. The whole peninsula
of Apsheron is honeycombed with tbonsands of
oil wells, one of which had given 1,500,000 bar
ren, and yet the pumps were drawing the oil
as freely as when it was first tapped years ago.
"The wells in America are much deeper, and
a man thinks nothing of boring 1,000 feet for
oU, but 300 feet appears to be the average in
tbe Baku region. In 1883 two flowing wells at
Baku threw np SO, 000, 000 gallons apiece of oil in
two months, and they were finally plngged to
'-cork up" for future use, N obel Brothers, the
Russian oil kings and rivals of the Devoes,
have 14 such gigantic reservoirs corked np, be
cause the crude petroleum will not fetch more
than a few pence a ton at Baku, and the deep
est of these basins is only 800 feet from the snr-,
face, while in the Bradford region in America'
there are numbers of wells 2,000 or 8.000 feet
deep, and one in West Virginia which is ever
6.000 feet deep."
J. C White, Professor of Geology in the
State University of West Virginia, said in a
recent interview; "For years I believed that
the oil fields of Western Pennsylvania ex
tended down well into WestVlrginla, If not
clear across the State. The same geological
formation paralleled the same mountain range,
and I conld not see why oil should not be
found. Oil was struck in the Washington
district in the strata known as the "manifold
sand,' and X knew the same sand to exist
through West Virginia, The sand gave but
one big well in Washington county, and oil
men thought it too 'spotted' and uncertain to
invest money in West Virginia for a long time,
but finally, in 1885 and 1880, they commenced
trying, and now there are fully 80 wells in the
State. They are mostly in Monongalia county,
just across tho line from Greene county, Pa,
and now drilling is being pushed far south of
that, I pushed farther south in the next
county, and put down a well which is doing
only a few barrels a day, but enough to show
what there is In the field, and it Is only a ques
tion of a year or two until an oil belt will be
developed clear across the State to the Big
Bandy river." -

Money Market In Good Shape and Work
ing Toward Greater Ease.
A decrease In the volume of checking was
about the only item ot interest in local banking
circles yesterday. This was not due to any ma
terial falling off in general trade, but to the
fact that the rush incident to annual settle-
ments Is abont over and bnsiness moving along
in its usual channels. Tbe exchanges were
$2,231,596 50 and the balances $455,112 28.
Tbe demand for money was moderate,
and rates were steady and unchanged
at 6 per cent on call and 7 on time loans. One
banker reported a $5,000 loan at a fraction be
low 6. The indications are that tbe market
will work easier as tbe season advances.

A SPORT IN OIL
The Market Boosted by Pipe Line Reports
nnd Enitera Balls.
Several influences combined to make a lively
oil market yesterday. The effect of the pipe
line report had been discounted, bnt its bullish
features had tbeir 'legitimate effect upon
prices. It shows a decrease of $953,000 of cer
tificates; a decrease of net stocks of 67,483; a
decrease ot gross stocks of 7Z7.4S0, and an in
crease of credit balances of 278,889. The last
item shows where some of the certificates
went
The market opened firm at $1 04, sold np to
$1 06 during the day, and closed at $1 06i the
highest since November 12, when the quotation
was $1 12J. Trading was good at all points.
Pittsburg was on the bull side, and bid the
market up when It was discovered that New
York was a buyer. Bradford was bearish.
The real strength of the market came from
New York, which had been preparing for such
a movement for some time, and depended upon
Plttsbnrg as an ally in carry in c out tbe scheme.
Whether the advance will hold is extremely
doubtful. Some think it a speculative flurry,
which will subside in ia day or two. Be this as
it may, tbe outlook is good so far as surface In
dications are worth anything, and brokers are
encouraged.

New Souk, January 10. In the stock mar
ket to-day, and especially during the forenoon.
the entire interest in the speculation was mo- J
nopoiized by Sugar Henneries ana iteaaing
stocks, the remainder even of the coal stocks
being dnll and uninteresting; .with extremely
narrow fluctuations. Daring the day the trad
ing in the leaders slacked off, and many of the
specialties were taken in hand and material
advances were established on a much larger
business, which extended to the general list
The opening of sugar was made at last night's
price of iy,a per cent on tbe announcement
that an injunction had been obtained against
tbe payment of any more dividends or tbe con
veyance of any of its property to any other cor
poration, and the lowest price ever reached
was touched. The treasurer of the Trust soon
came out with a statement that the late asser
tions in regard to tbe comparative output of
the Trast refineries and tbe independent ones
was erroneous; that there were no funds at
present in the hands ot tbej trustees, and that
there was no Intention of conveying any prop
erty, while tbe injunction was only temporary.
Tbe traders thereupon proceeded to cover tbeir
shorts upon the ground that all the bad news
was out, and in the afternoon when the
market assumed a more healthy appearance, it
railed 2K per cent.
A drive was made at Reading in the early
dealings, but its price was forced off a fraction
only, and some of the large foreign houses ap
peared with buying urders, which gradually
lifted its price above 37. The demand resulted
in more activity for the. stock, though tbere
was plenty of it for sale. The declines in tbe
incomes failed to have any appreciable effect
upon it however. Among the specialties Chi
cago Gas, Texas Land Trnst Toledo, Ann
Arbor and North Michigan, Wheeling and Laks
Erie preferred and, at times, Wisconsin Cen
tral and Colorado Coal were prominent for
strength, as was also Consolidated Gas on the
rumor mat a large oiock oi tne stocic naa neen
taken off the street by an investment interest.
In the unlisted department Illinois Coal and
Coke continued its steady advance upon a mod
erate bnsiness. The general list after opening
off fractionally, generally recovered these
losses in the afternoon, and the close was quiet
but firm at fractions better than the opening
figures. Money was easy, but showed a stiffen
ing tendency. " The list to-night is generally
hieher. Delaware and Hudson which became
prominent in the last hour rose 2, Texas Land
Trust 1, Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred
1. Chicago Gas , and Toledo, Ann Arbor
and North Michigan and Sugar refineries each
1 per cent.
Railroad bonds were less active, with a gen
erally steady tone, while among tbe active
bonds there was considerable irregularity, the
Reading and Kansas and Texas issues being
specially weak, while others showed marked
improvement in many cases. The business
done reached $1,595,000, of which Wisconsin
Central incomes contributed 3109.000. New Jer
sey Midlands rose to 115, Reading firsts lost 1
the seconds 2, at 49, and Ohio Southern in
comes 4, at 65.

Mo Yin lo tho Wheat Pit and Prices Break
Down Hog Products Actlvo and.
Strong at Mediant Figure.
Chicago The wheat market was quiet, and
tbere was no special feature to note. Fluctua
tions were confined within narrow limits, and
prices did not vary particularly Irom yester
day's .cloalntr. Tbe opening was about the
same as the close of yesterday, eased OS c,
improved JiK"c receded again to Inside fig
ures, and closed c lower tban yesterday.
The offerings were fair, and some selling was
done on New fork account. Tbe undertone
was apparently weak, due to lack of confi
dence ori the part of trading.
Corn was traded in to a fair extent, the mar
ket opening firm on the damp weather and
small receipts, bnt later ruled easier on the!
selling by a prominent local trader, and also for
bit Louis account. Transactions were larger
in May, which received tho most attention.
Tbe market opened firm, a shade above tbe
closing of yestetday, was strong for a time,
then became easier, declining c, and
closed a trifle lower than yesterday.
Oats were fairly active, but weaker and
JgC lower. January which was strongest and
showed the greatest advance yesterday devel
oped tbe most weakness and decline to day.
The change was attributable to selling by tbe
largest holders through brokers.
More life was manifested in tbe market for
hog products and a largor business was reported
tnan lor some time past, ine advance in
prices gained near tbe close of change yester
day tended to bring out a little property held
by the long interest. Tbe receipts of hogs were
moderately free and prices were well sustained.
There was rather more pressure to sell lard
and short rib sides than mess pork, consequent
ly the latter showed more steadiness than the
other articles. Opening sales were made at
about outside figures, but a weaker feeling was
developed later. During the latter part of the
session trading was only moderate and the mar
ket closed at abouf medium figures.

Wool Mnrkets.
Boston There has been a very good de
maud for wool and a number of buyers have
been on the market, bnt the sales aggregate
only a fair amount 2,446,000 ponnds of all
kinds. Buyers are not yet just ready to purchase.
The principal sales were of territory for which
the market was rather weak, particularly for
Eastern Oregon. Sales, of these wools have
been made on the scoure basis of 67c for fine
and fine medium, and the best territory does
not bring mncn more than that. Medium
wools range from 60c to 53a In fine delaine
fleeces there is a firm feeling, and tbere have
been considerable sales, including Ohio at35
86c, and Michigan at' 3l35c. No. 1 combing
wools scarce and firm. Unwashed combing
sells at 2729c Fine washed fleeces quiet but
held firm. Pulled wools dnll. In foreign wool
tbere have been sales ot importance.

Country Prodnce Jobbing Prices.
Rainy weather is still adverse to trade. Coun
try butter is very slow. Choice creamery ii
fairly steady. There is a great scarcity of poul
try, and markets show an upward drift. The
egg market gives no signs of revival ffom the
late depression, and unless cold weather comes
to tbe rescue of trade, no improvement can be
looked for. Large quantities of eggs are com
ing iu from the South and West, where hens
are getting in tbeir work much ahead of their
average time. Cold storage and pickled eggs,
which are usually in good demand at this sea
son ot the year, are hard to give away. Tbe
open winter has spoiled a multitude of plans
for gain in prodnce lines, and there is now no
bone of recovering lost ground, no matter what
the weather bureau may do for trade.
