Enormous Output of the Edgar Thomson to . be Increased. LOCAL, KATIOXAL AKD FOEEIGN POINTS TITXCUX. TELEGRAM TO THE DISIMTCn.I Hew Yobk, January 23. The iron Age has the following market review in its issue to-day : There has been no pressure to sell American pic iron daring the week, nor is the demand in any way urgent. The mar ket is quiet, with No. 1 foundry at $20 20 SO, and 2s'o. 2 foundry S1919 60. It is reported that in the "West Bessemer pig is selling at S23 in the Talley, while in the Bast it is offered a little more freely. From abroad come reports of a further ex traordinary advance in coke, which is sell ing, delivered to the furnaces, at 40 and upward, while ore is up to 20 and upward. Spiegeleisen and Ferro-manganese. The sale of one large block, for February and March shipment, is reported at private terms. Some importers quote Spiegeleisen 20 per cent at J38 and $38 50, while others are willing to sell, up to October delivery, at prices equivalent to $37 50 in ship. For f erro-man-ganese there is an active demand for small lots lor immediate delivery. Futures are quoted at S93Q97. Allnccllaneonk Product. Billets There is some inquiry, but the ma jority ot the Eastern mills are not in a position to fill orders. Nominal quotations fluctuate between $37 00339 50 at mill. Wire rods Some activity is reported, one Eastern rod mill having sold two lots ol 1.000 and one lot of 2.000 tons to Eastern wire works, at what is reported to be equivalent to 158 60. New York. There is some Inquiry for foreign basic rods for re-export, for which 859 50 has been asked. Old rails Old rails remain scarce In this mar ket, only relatively small quantities being available, among them one lot of oOO tons of tees, for which $28 50 is asked, and at which other small lots are offered and a lot of 1,500 tons of doubles, for which $29 is asked. Other parcels ot foreign rails in store here are held at higher figures. Among the re cent sales is one lot of 500 tons at $29 50 of tees, Philadelphia delivery, and one lot of 1,000 tons of doubles for shipment, same delivery, private terms. Scrap Iron Among the sales reported this week is one lot of 500 tons of choice railroad scrap at $26 at point on the line of road and in proximity to consumers' works. Rail Fastenings There have been a fe sales of rail fastenings for New England de livery. Angle bars are now quoted $2 15, de livered, while spikes are nominally $2 25 at mill. The One Chief Factor. Steel Bails Two of the rail mills in Eastern Pennsylvania have marked up their price for rails to 536 at mill; but others are still selling at $33 at mill, or its equivalent at least to one of them $35 75 at tide water. Sales during the week have not been large, aggregating about 10,000 tons. It is re ported that there are some round lots in tne the market, so that it really appears that sell ers during the prolonged snell of inactivity have been able to bold out better than buy ers. The Board of Control report for the 1st of January shows that, up to that date, the total sales of rails by the mills in the asso ciation for delivery in 1890 aggregated 748,895 gross tons. It is the impression, however, that the sales really have been considerably larger. one authority insisting that they cannot be far from 1,000,000 gross tons, the zllot ment being 1,000,000 tons. The different mills sold and shipped during 1SS9 the following quanuesoi bieci raus, gi ouiD.per yara ana upward, as imported to the Board of Control. We have added the figures ror 1SS8 by way of comparison. Steel rails sold and shipped, 50 pounds and upward for 'S3 and '89. What the Figures Show. North Chicago (ISSSyigroM tons, 161.

It will be understood that these totals in both years do not include light rails, ot which some of the mills make considerable quantities, while others make none Itshonldbestated, too, that for the year '89. tie Allegheny Bessemer Steel Company, at Pittsburg, is not included. They probably added about 75.000 tons to the make. The figures are interesting, as showing how the trade Das narrowed down practically to three groups of mills the Chicago mills, now under one management: the Carnegie, Allegheny and Cambria, in Western Pennsyl vania, and the Scranton, Pennsylvania. Bethle hem ana Lackawanna, in Eastern Pennsyl vania. It will be observed that the principal gains in 1SS9 have been made by Carnegie, Scranton and Bethlehem. THE PRODUCTION OF PIG. An Increase Last Year of 1.114.787 Gross Ton, or 17 Per Cent. rSFECIAI. TZLZGBAH TO THE DISPATCH.' Philadelphia, January 23. The Bulletin of the American Iron and Steel Association, in its annual review of the iron industry, says: The total production of pig iron in the United States in 1SS9 was 7,604.525 gross tons, against 6,4SS,73S gross tons in 1888, an increase of 1,114, 787 gross tons, or over 17 per cent. Reducing gross to net tons our production in 1SS9 was 8. 517.668 net tons, against 7,268,507 net tons In 18SS. When it is remembered that our production in 18SS was the largest in our history down to that time, the magnitude of our production in 18S9 will be more fully comprehended. The enormous production of 1SS9 was better distributed throughout the year than the public has been erroneously led to believe. The production of the first half of 1889 was 3.C62.4S6 gross tons, and the production of the second half was 3.942.039 cross tons, an increase in the last half of 279,553 gross tons. The increased prodnction in the second half of 1889 was wholly due to the increased demand for Bessemer pig iron. The stocks of pig iron unsold in the hands of makers or their agents on the 31st of December last, and which were not intended for the con sumption of the manufacturers, amounted to only 277,401 net tons against 336,161 net tons at the close or 1SSS. There was, however, an increase in stocks during the first half of 18S9. the figures on the 30th of June amounting to 563.286 net tons. "Ebeie was therefore a considerable decrease in stocks In the last half of the year. In addition to the stocks above noted, the American Pig Iron Storage Warrant Company advies os that at the close of 1SS9 there were 80,200 gross tons, or 40,544 net tons, of pig Iron in its warrant yards. ane proauction oi pig iron in jnw, according to luel used, was as xoijows: RitnTninnna ; a;? 414 tons against 4.743.9S9 in 1S88; anthracite and coke, 1,576,996 against 1,618.214 in 1888; anthra cite alone. 344.35S against 538.789 in 1888. Nearly all the leading pig iron producinestatcs shared in the increased production of 1S89 ovei 1888. Pennoylvania shows the largest actual gain with Alabama next. Pennsylvania's increase over 18SS was 592.05J net tons, and Alabama's 841.933 tons. The production of spiegeleisen was S6.812 net tons, against 54.769 tons in 1888 The total output of pig iron, while equal to the production in En gland In 1SS7. is still 700.000 below the English output in 1SS9. In two years the ca pacity of blast furnaces has been increased 2.177,240 tons net per annum. Rolling mills and Bessemer steel workl have increased rapidly. One hundred and four rolling mills and steel works are using natural gas, and 21 are using petroleum for f uek AN ENORMOUS OUTPUT. The Edgar Thomson Steel Works Soon lo Average 1.500 Tons a Day. Office or" Pittsbubq Dispatch, ? THUXSDAY, January 23, 1690. J At the Edgar, Thomson Steel Works, Brad dock, for this rutmtb, the average daily output of steel rails has been above 1,100 tons. One day of this week the yield was L250 tons. The new furnace H is now almost completed, and Master Bricklayer Addenbrook reports that he will be ready to tcrnjbver the completed furnace to the company by .February 1. It will require afew weeks to dry out the furnace, so that it will be ready to turn out iron much before the begin ning of March. Furnace I is expected to fall into line sometime in May. With these two new furnaces in operation there is little doubt that the capacity of the Edgar Thomson works to prodace steel rails will be increased fully 25 per cent, which will bring the daily output up to L600 tons. For this increased output there is already an assured demand for a year to come, at a price $10 per ton above the rates of last summer. The fire brick department of the Edgar Thomson works now employs S40 hands. The two new furnaces' in process of construction requiro close to 1.100,000 fire brick. The cost of each of the new Jurnaces will bo close to $250, 000, and abont as much more capital is required to run them, in the way of stock and labor. BRITISH IE0N MARKETS.

The Field of Inquiry Harrowed Striking Features Developed. and YIEWS OF PEOMINENT BUSINESS MEH Slowly but surely the mystery that has for months shrouded real estate operations on Cherry alley is being cleared up. Al though nothing has been discovered to posi tively identify the Pennsylvania Railroad or any other corporation with the acquisi tion of property ou that thoroughfare, the court records being sileut on that subject, the inquiry has become so circumscribed that the facts cannot much longer be with held from the public. It is now admitted that the purchases already effected, although made by individ uals, in which Mr. E. E. Clark, of this city, has played a conspicuous part, are in the interest of a corporation or syndicate, but whose Identity has so far eluded detection, and not on individual account. Within a day or two considerable light has been thrown on the subject: the field of in quiry has been so narrowed that it can be sur veyed with some degree of accuracy, and rea sonable deductions made from the few facts that have been evolved from the great mass of speculation. As it now stands, it is clear the purchases have been made by the Pennsylvania Railroad, the proposed traction road from theSouthside to the Union Depot or a syndi cate. No other parties or interests seem to be involved in the transactions. A strong argu ment in favor of this theory is the fact, now well known, that negotiations for the Daly property were condnctcd on the same lines and by the same persons as all the former doals in that vicinity. This is sufficient to confirm the opinion that it is a link in the general plan mapped out at the beginning and so far pursued with un varying constancy. That the Daly property and the colored church property have passed to the. same ownership is no longer questioned. This is significant. It indicates a unity of action which precludes the idea of miscel laneous buying. The corporation or syndicate, or whatever it Is, seems to be working on two parallel lines not far apart, and even pointing to the same result. The first line runs directly through Cherry alley, and is about 100 feet wide west and north of the alley. A considerable amount of property has been bought on this line, in cluding the upper part of the colored church property, the Hagan, McKelvy and a number of smaller pieces, giving the purchasers practi cal control of the route, although considerable property remains tooe acquired to give the necessary outlet to Smithfield street or Fifth avenue. The other line starts at Sixth and Cherry alley, about whero the Daly property stands, thus making it a pivotal point, and takes in the lower part of the colored church property, im mediately back of Hotel Duquesne. On this route pnrchases have been made within 100 feet of Fifth avenue, but the operators are shut out from that highway by the Miller, McBride and Reed properties, for which offers have been made. These acquired, the syndicate, or cor poration, will have accomplished its purpose of securing a commanding posit ion on two of the best streets in the business center of the city. A prominent business man, who has been a close observer of the operations in the Cherry alley district, remarked yesterday evening "My individual opinion is that all of the real estate deals in question are in the interest of the Pennsylvania Railroad, although I see it stated that a cable road has a hand in them. I do not take much stock in this, as the expense would be too great for almost any private enterprise to assume. But the railroad has plenty of money, and for years has been want ing a place downtown tor a passenger station. This has become a positive necessity by reason of the competition of the traction roads. To at tain this end money will not be allowed to stand In the way. "The railroad people are moving slowly, so as not to arouse suspicion, and it may be two or three years bofore all the necessary deals shall be completed, but having set their minds on a down-town site for a station, they will not cease their efforts until their object shall have been completely attained." Another leading business man, whose opin ions on all subjects have great weight, said he had no confidence in the report that the Penn sylvania Railroad was involved in the Cherry alley business, and as for a traction road buy ing right of way there, that was too silly to bo entertained for a moment. The cost wonld bankrupt any private concern in Pittsburg. He added: "From all I can learn the Cherry alley operations are being carried on by a syndi cate, of which Mr. Andrew Mellon is the prin cipal member. They are buying for specula tion. There are not enongh streets In Pitts burg, and Cherry alley will be widened before many years. Those who now buy property on or near that thoroughfare will make a good thing of it in the event of the improvement. "With this in view, the purchases are being made. That is the sum and substance of the whole matter, as I see it. It is a speculative movement on the part of a few rich men, and nothing else." A BOOST FOJi ELECTRIC. United Stntes Circuit Court at Boston De cides for Mr. Westlnshome. The feature of the stock market yesterday was an advance in Westinghouse Electric This was based upon the decision in the United States Circuit Court, at Boston, in favor of the borne company, giving it exclusive use of the Brush-Swan light in five prominent Eastern States, including New York and Pennsylvania, and all the profits of the opposition company for the last four years. Among other strong properties were the Keystone Bank, which was bid up to 70. Switch and Signal, Luster and Central Traction. Philadelphia gas was quiet bnt steady, and Chartiers gas fractionally stronger in the prospect of the declaration ola dividend at the next meeting of the company.

Trading was good but not heavy. New York was the strongest point on tho line. Pittsburg and Oil City were weak. Bradford did very little. The bearish influences were the resump tion of field operations as a result of the drying up of the roads, and reports of the successful refining of the Lima "product. Wednesday's clearances were 256.000 barrels. A big batch of field news, EOQd and bad, was received. There was said to besome excitement in the Butler field overthereport that the Craw ford farm well, near Callery Junction, completed about two months ago and dry, had tapped the sand and filled up 800 teet with oil. Phil lips No. 3, on the Douthett farm, was said to be doing 700 barrels a day. In the Washington field the Wilson Wildcat, which was dry in the Gantz sand, was reported in the stray above the Qordon with a showing of oil. This is a very important well, as it is located in the center of a large tract of undeveloped territory, several miles in circumference, that will prove valu able should the well turn out a good one. The Barns farm well, at Groveton, owned by the Union Oil Company, which came in dry a few days ago, had been drilled deeper, and was reported to be a 25-barrel well. Tho Davis well in the Chartiers Valley field was reported as running a tank of 165 barrels a day. The Beck farm well in the Same field is expected to reach the sand to-day. Features of tho Market.

With n Belter Distribution of Business The Trusts Less Prominent Bonds Active. New York. January 23. The stock market to-day showed more animation than yesterday, except in the Trusts, and a better distribution of business, while the evidences of a broaden ing ont of the market continue to grow. The firm to strong tone of the past few days was still there at the opening this morning, though the improvement was believed to have been more from the covering of shorts than from new buying. The market continued to ad vance, though very slowly, until toward de livery hour, when realizing sales upon the rise of the past two or three davs caused a setharlr. and as a result the final changes this evening are only for small fractions, and are about equally divided between gains and losses. Not a single important change Is noted among the active sLouJia. A feature of the day was the increased tone paid to some'of tho low-priced shares, many of which awoke to activity to-day and were advanced. The Grangers, as a rule, were heavy, and Rock Island and St Paul retired small fractions, while Union Pacific exhibited more strength than for some time and crawled np a little. The Trusts were less prominent in the dealings, though Lead showed more anima tion with some advance in price, the feeling upon it being much improved for the time being, while the others were heavy. The mar ket finally closed quiet and heavy at the fig ures. Oregon Transcontinental was helped by the report that the Northern PacIUc bad placed ibout 86,000,000 of its bonds In Germany. Railroad bonds were again fafrly active, aod on the report of the merging of the King com mittee with the Oloott committee in the Kan sas and Texas reorganization, the bonds of that company were once more active and the 7s contributed 8125,000 to the day's total of SI 605. 000. The Texas Pacific firsts were also active and the transactions ran up to 5107,000. The temper of the market was not so firm to-day, and considerable Irregnlarity was noticeable in it from opening to close, resulting in some wide but irregular changes for the day. Mil waukee. Lake Shorn and Western convertibles rose 2 to 1043, and Northern Pacific dividend scrip 4 to 107. The Post says : London does not do much in American railroad stocks yet, which is one rea son that the market here does not become more active and the rise in prices become more positive. Money in London is higher than in this market and the Bank of England rate of discount was continued to-day at 6 per cent, which is a high rate for that market. Sterling exchange also advanced a half cent on the pound here to-day. The rouowmg tame snows tne prices oi active stocks on the New York Stock Excnange yester day.

Country roads have improved somewhat in the last few days, but they are still in a wretch ed condition. There -was considerable shrinkage in the mortgage business yesterday, only 14 being re corded. The largest was for H500. New England roads announce that they will pro-rate with the St. Paul-Chicago lines on the redu ed passenger rates between St Paul and New England. The central traffic and trunk line roads, however, will not pro-rate on this basis. The decision of the New York Conrt of Ap peals in the sugar case is not expected for at least ten days. Counsel were given till Satur day to file papers in the case, and these are said to be voluminous and to contain numerous references, which will take considerable time to look up. The Sonthrido Brick and Stone Company, Lim., yesterday elected the following members as officers; President, John Doutbitt; Secreta ry, David Rutter; Treasurer, A. Barchfield; Di rectors, Charles Schlote, Martin Meyer, C. Staab, Charles Trautwe,ln, John Slebert. T. Gschwender.

More Activity In Wheat, bat at a Los In Values Corn and Oats Stronger Hog Products Lively but Irregular. Chicago A fair business was transacted in wheat to-day, and, the market rnled steady and rather firm. Shorts evidently were disposed to cover and 'bought moderately. The offerings were not heavy and apparently no effort was made to force lower prices. The opening was HJe lower, receded Vi&yiz more, then with some fluctuations advanced Hc, ruled steady and closed about c lower than yester day. There was some buying here for May de livery on foreign account The market weak ened some early by reported suow in the South west and later was strengthened by reports of rain In the winter wheat country. Minneapo lis wired that indications were strong in favor of another blizzard. A good business was transacted in corn, con siderable life being enthused of the market and transactions were larger than for several days past The market was stronger and at higher prices. A better demand existed from all quarters. Operators who usually trade in wheat were giving the market considerable at tention, and their purchases added strength to the situation. The better tono was attributed some to the storms in the West, which it was feared wonld retard the movement There was greater in the oats market to-day than has been witnessed for a month past. Prices also were more changeable, and as they got ont of the rut in which they have been lately fastened the market attracted more at tention. Orders were more liberal and there was more vigor in the market in every way. A very lair improvement in valuer was witnessed. The greatest improvement was in near futures, which in consequence of the turn matters had taken made some little covering by shorts necessary. The most active trading was in May delivery. In bog products an active market was wit nessed, especially on speculative accoant being larger than reported any day for months past During the earlv part of the session a very brisk business was reported attended with con siderable excitement and irregularity in prices. As it became evident that the demand was be ing readily supplied offerings were increased credited to a local manufacturer and a weaker feeling was developed accompanied with a marked decline in prices. Near the close the feeling was easier again and prices settled back to inside figures.
