IRON TfiADE REVIEW.
Ko Signs of a Reaction in Legitimate
Business at Home.
A GREATER VOLUME OP TRADE
Is Confidently Expected in the Leading
Markets of the West.
.THE OUTLOOK IX EASTERN CESTEES
The situation is practically the same as it
was a -week ago. Gray forge and Bessemer
iions are the weak factors of markets. On
these grades there has been some shading
the past week. While markets cannot be
said in truth to be active, there is no dispo
sition on the part 01 holders of standard
brands to concede on price.. The time is
cot yet here for active demand for spring
trade. Mills throughout this section stocked
up well last month, and will not lay in sup
plies for spring trade until it is known how
the cat will jump. There is. however, no likeli
hood of a decline, as all consumers of iron and
steel are working up to their capacity and de
mand for products is belter than it has teen for
years at this time.
The depression of the past week or two has
not affected standard brands. The principal
sufferers from the depression hare been the
speculators who have been carrying heavy
loads and find a necessity to unload. Manu
facturers all express confidence in tlio outlook.
There are at tms date no siensof a reaction
to legitimate trade. Steel rails are in cood de
mand. Orders on the books of the Edpar
Thomson Works insure a lively trade for the
next half vear, notwithstanding the fact that
the capacity of the works will be increased fully
25per cent in the next few weeks.
The output of steel rails at the Edgar
Thomson works for the month of January
averaged over 1,100 tons every 24 hours. Be
fore summer the average will pass 1,500 tons
daily, and the entire yield will be in demand,
according to present outlook. The nail market
is the same as a week ago.
Iron nails are scarcely quotable, as according
to reports of our jobbers, not one keg in a
hundred of the nails called lor are iron. Steel
nails give more signs of strength and firmness
the past week than wire nails, but prices on
both are unchanged. In general, the under
tone of iron and steel markets is strong, and
while concessions are made in some lines,
standard brands are firm and the outlook for a
prosperous year is bright all alone the line.
Following are the latest prices of iron and
steel products.

DULLNESS IN PIG IRON.
A Possible Drop In Prices Is Being Consid
ered in Nrw York.
rEFXCIAl. TELEOKAM TO TUX DISPATCH.)
New York. January 3L The dullness in tha
pig iron market is causing some buyers to dis
cuss a possible drop of SO cents per ton In pig
iron prices. Furnaces in all parts of the coun
try are oversold for periods ranting from 30
days to six months, but in using this term
It is not to be understood that the
entire capacity is sold. Should a drop
occur it would be natural to expect the
cancellation of many orders. Makers in the
East. West and South have made sales within
a week at what are considered trifling conces
sions from December quotations but the iron
sold has not been classed as among the best,
nor are sellers at such concessions among the
strongest. For the present large buyers are
deferring placing additional orders for spring
or summer. On behalf of makers the great
majority of them are holding firmly at Decem
ber quotations and are not soliciting business
even at full prices. Consumers who
Sought heavily in December are not
willing to admit that they made
a mistake, but the rapid increases in output is
a point which is attracting more and more at
tention. Consumption thus far is keeping up
welt Railway car buildine, ship building and
boat building requirements may expand greatly
during the next few weeks, and buyers rely
largely upon an Improving demand from this
quarter for firm prices. Unusual activity in
Inquiry and demand prevails among makers of
bar. sheet and plate iron as well as
structural material. Buyers of pipes
and tubes are quite anxious to place
orders. Structural iron of all kinds will be
contracted lor very largely. Merchant steel
and barb wire are moving quite freely. Steel
rails are $33 at Eabtern nulls, and in Western
mills quotations have been advanced to S3S,
but it is not claimed that orders, large or small,
have been booked at that figure. Kails and
general hardware are in good demand through
out the West and South. Iron and steel prices

A GAME OF FOX AKD GEESE.
That Seems to be the Situation in the Phila

ItrZClAI. TSLZCRAJI TO TU D1SPATCH.S
Philadelphia, January 31. Buyers and
sellers in the iron market are playing a game of
f ox and ceese. In which the buyer waits for a
timely moment to seize his prey. The require
ments of consumers havebeen pretty well sup
plied by previous orders, and as the furnaces
and mills are all busy pntting out large
products, buyers are confident that lower
prices will be made within 30 days. The buyers
are looking closely after the necessities of pro
ducers, and when one is found whom they be
lieve must sell to meet obligations they Insist
on concessions being made from q notations.
The stronger concerns, however, which really
regulate the market, adhere very closely to
prices as quoted, and insist that by March 1 an
advancn of 25c to 50c per ton in the price of pig
Iron will be made and that the entire market
will be strengthened thereby.
.No. 1 foundry at Tidewater is worth $20 00
20 60 per ton. No. S $19 00 and gray force
$18 00, with occasional sales of the latter at
concessions. Bessemer is worth S22 00 per
ton, billets $3833 50, muck bars $32 5U33 00
n consumers yards with special sales
at $32 00. Prices on structural iron
are practically unchanged and sheet iron is
steady. New steel rails arc firm at SM per ton,
and any movement below that figure is due to
resales, the seller having been fortunate enough
to stock up before the advance. Old rails are
Steady at 27 602S per ton. Quotations on
manufactured iron and steel respectively are:

rtFEClAl. TXLXUKAM TO THE DIEPATCH.1
Chicago. January 3L A good inquiry for
email lots of Iron continues, and it is noticed
that deliveries are generally wanted quicker
than furnaces can make them. In fact the in
ability of the furnaces to keep up with stated
deliveries or contracts has caused trouble in
many cases. Buyers still hold off, expecting
lower prices, andlnany of them are in a posl
tlon to hold out a good while, being well
stocked. Others again must continue to buy
freely for actual needs. A rather better trade
is looked for in February, thougn most sellers
have little to complain of in amount of busi
ness done in Januarv. Further large contracts
for Lake Superior charcoal iron were booked
for Eastern delivery at the equal of $23 cash

tSPECIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Cincinnati, January 3L Tho iron market
still presents the appearance of stand-off be
tween sellers and buyers, and the business cur
rent is lor small lots mainly. The feeling is
such that small matters aro magnified to mean
great things. Speculative offerings, about
which much is said, are in reality very light at
all points west of Pittsburg, and the informa
tion is that holding in second bands there are
much reduced. A careful calculation shows
that all the iron held in speculative or middle
hands west of the Allegbenles would not sup
ply current consumption in the same territory
four days, probably not two days. Warrant
iron figures but little in the West, though an
occasional lot is pressed for sale at under
price. Conservative men see nothing in the
situation looking to a reaction, but believe that
iron is being consumed quite as fast as it is
being made, and that when it again begins to
appear, there will be another active market
and strong prices. Leading Southern makers
still hold firmly and are confident.

A NEW-YORK SCHEME.
One of Gotham's Drygoods'Firms Said
to Want the Semple Building.
FIQURES ON SCHENLEYPABKLAHD.
American Petroleum Gaining a Substantial
Foothold in the Far East.
GAS CITI ENTERPRISE REACHING 0DT
Eeal estate brokers are doing Tery little
talking these days, but they are sawing a
great deal of wood. It was stated yesterday
by a gentleman who onght to know that a
prominent drygoods firm in New York is
negotiating for the purchase of the Semple
building in Allegheny. .
"What is the name of the firm?" the in
formant was asked.
"Tnat I am not at liberty to tell yon. I
am free to say, however, that it is notClaflin
& Co., a representative of whom, according to
report, was in the city a few days ago."
Another gentleman said the report had an
odor of fish, from the fact that the building is
under a five years' lease. Still, if the firm
were in dead earnest, it could probably pur
chase the lease along with the property and ob
tain possession as soon as desired.
It may be mentioned, as another interesting
item of real estate news, that the owner of
about two acres near the entrance to Scbenley
Park instructed his agent to refuse all off era
under $8,000 an acre.
Statistics of last year's petroleum exports re
veal a very gratifying fact. They completely
upset the impression that bad been gaining
ground that American producers were losing
their foothold in the far East, a most import
ant quarter. The contrary is the case. The
great popnlation of East India takes to refined
petroleum more kindly every year, and soon
they will burn nothing else, because it com
bines excellence of quality with cheapness.
Thus a practically unlimited market is being
opened. The countries where Russian petro
leum competes easiest with American oil are
the very ones where the latter shows the great
est increase.
George S. Qriscom, of this city, and several
Youngstown capitalists have organized the
Lakeside Nail Company and leased a large nail
factory owned by the Chicago Steel Manufac
turing Company at Hammond, Ind.. and will
place it in operation at once producing cut
nails. The plant is new and one of tbe best
equipped in the country. It has 101 automatic
nail machines, and will produce 25,000 kegs of
nails per month. Mr. Oriscom will have charge
of tbe plant,
The Duluta Iron and Steel Company has
commenced the work of putting up the incline
plane which is being constructed by the Ber
lin Iron Bridge Company, Berlin, Conn. It is
about 400 feet long, running from the stock
house on the ground level to the top of tbe
furnace suck, about 95 feet high. The structure
is capable of sustaining a load of 15,000 pounds
while going at the rate of SOO feet per minute,
and is guaranteed against any collapse of the
loaded car, also against any wind pressure. The
firm of Best, Fox fc Co., of Pittsburg, have the
contract for all material and work for supply
ing the plant with water.
.
Joseph R. Jackson, of Pittsburg, proposes in
a patent recently granted to make sheet iron
by passing the bloom or pile first through a
heating furnace, then through plating rolls into
another beating furnace, and back and forth
from one furnace through the rolls into
the other furnace, until reduced to the desired
gauge, so maintaining the proper heat for roll
ing without the necessity of removing it at in
tervals to a reheating furnace.
The farmers in some of the "Western States
are petitioning the railroads to make what they
call an emergency rate for the transportation
of corn to the Eastern markets. They claim
that the surplus corn product is valueless at
present prices, inasmuch as tbe cost of getting
it to market absorbs so much of the proceeds
that they have not enough left to pay them for
the labor of raising it. Pennsylvania farmers
are in the same predicament as regards getting
their produce to market, but their trouble
anses from the wretched condition of the conn-
tfy roads.
The skippers of three steamships, the Cali
fornia, from Hamburg; the Friesland, from
Antwerp, and the Rhaetia, from Hamburg, are
enthusiastic in their praises of oil as a wave
breaker. The Rhaetia used the fluid with
magical effect in a hurricane on January 17.
Tbe Friesland, on the same day, kept the tow
ering sea from breaking aboard tbe ship by a
liberal use of oil. Tbe California, wnlle hove
to under small sails in the same terrific wind,
saved nerself by using oil.
When the Reading Railroad shall have built
its bridge across the Susquehanna river at
Harrisburg, and have constructed a connect
ing line to the Baltimore and Ohio road at
Hyndman, the new route thus opened will be
almost an air line between New York and Cin
cinnati, St. Louis and the Southwest. It is re
ported that the Reading intends to run vesti
bule trains between Harrisburg and New York,
and to make the new line a strong competitor
to the Pennsylvania.
LOST ITS CHARMS.
Holders of La Norla Tire of the Borden and
Unload.
The feature of tbe stock call yesterday was
the selling of La Noria, over 2,000 shares being
thrown on the market and taken at 12. cents.
There were office sales at 15 cents. This indi
cates small confidence in tbe success of the re
organization scheme.
Airbrake sold at a concession. The natural
gassers were dull, with a bearish undertone.
The Tractions hung closely around former quo
tations. Switch and Signal was a shade
stronger. The sales were 2,562 shares.

A B00MESAKG.
Failure of tbe New York Stock Exchange to
Corner Petroleum.
Tho oil market was weak at tbe opening yes
terday and very erratic It was a little firmer
at the close. The first quotation was $104.
With very little doing, the market sold down
to $1 03, and then advanced on shorts covering
to $1 05, the highest point of the day. It then
broke to $1 04, but soon recovered to $1 06
which was offered at the close, and around
which figure considerable long oil was sold.
There were a few sales of March oil at $1 05.
The corner which some anticipated as a re
sult of tbe New York Stock Exchange buying
cash oil the latter part of the montb did not
materialize. Instead of a boom it was a boom
erang. A scalper from New York tried to bull
the market by bidding for blocks without buy
ing. As Boon as he dropped out the market
reacted. The range was: Opening, SI 04J4;
highest. $1 05K; lowest. $1 03; closing. $1 05i.
New York and Oil City did most of the buy
ing. Pittsburg and Bradford were sellers.
Thursday's clearances were 984.000 barrels.
Field news was rather tame. Nothing new
Was reported from the Sbanopm field. Hag
gerty 9, Washington county, was said to bo
flowing at the rate of 480 barrels a day. At
Canonsbure. the Manufa' tureis Gas Ccm-
aany's McKeown No. 5 is flowing 100 barrels a
ay from the Gordon, and ihe No. 4 is showing
for a75-barrel well at the top of the pay-streak
in the same sand. .
Graham, Lone & Co.'s No. L on tho Wahl
farm, on Big creek, in the Hundred-foot dis
trict, Butler county, struck a heavy vein of gas
and has a good showing for olL As this well is
in advance of operations it will open up con
siderable new territory.

Rallrond Shares Recovering From tho
Shock of tbe Bank Scandal The
Bear Raid Snccesarally Re
sisted Trusts Very
Qalet.
New York, January SL The stock market
continues to show a decreasing volume of busi
ness as the result of the recent occurrences
which have had a tendency to shake confidence
somewhat, but it shows signs of a recovery
from these influences notwithstanding the fact
that the bank troubles were still tbe principal
to,p!c of conversation on the street. They,, how
ever, have not proved so serious as the bears
would have had people believe, and while the
purchases of the day except in two or three
stocks were light, the market responded to the
demand. The demand for stocks in the loan
crowd shows that the short interest has been
increased considerably during the past two
days and is now quite large, which with the
closeness with which stocks are held, renders
it difficult for tha bears to cover their sales of I
the past few days without loss.
The operations of to-day were conslusive
proof of this, as after the first demand was
over and prices let oft a shade the bears went
in to make a decline to cover up on, but except
In Rock Island there was little effect made
upon the list. The attempt was soon given up,
and prices were allowed to drift for the re
mainder of the aay until toward tbe close,
when a little real buyine was tbe occasion of a
full recovery ot the early losses with something
in addition In most 0 the stocks traded in.
The bears in their raid were aided also by the
fact that the day was Friday, when there is al
ways a scarcity or money to loan, owing to the
rule which makes all loans run over till Mon
day, and also by the fact that the calling in of
loans Incident to the first of the month and the
preparations for tbe payment of interest and
dividends. . .
Tho most prominent feature of the day was
the buying of Pacific Mail, which is based pri
marily upon the expectation that there will be
legislation which will secure to this and other
companies better compensation for the carry
ing of mails, etc, but the appearance of Rut as
Hatch, at one time President of the company,
and who has been regarded as one who had lost
his all in the street, as an active buyer, led to tbe
suspicion that there must be a combination be
hind him. The stock mounted to 41 against
39 last evening, but in the raid of the bears
lost almost all of the Improvement, closing
with only a fractional gain. New England was
also prominent for the buying both for Boston
and inside account, and the stock Is one of the
few showing material improvement for tbe day.
In the last rally the Coal stocks were the
leaders after being held comparatively quiet all
day long, but like most of the others their fluc
tuations were small and their final gains meas
ured by small fractions. The attack of the
bears was most all in the Grange-s, and Rock
Island bore the brunt, the pressure being ac
companied by rnmors ot another issue of bonds
and an aggressive combination with the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass for a through line
to the Gulf. The Trusts were quiet and failed
to make any Important movement, and. In fact,
the only decided movement of the day was in
Evansvllle and Terre Haute, which shot up
from 103 to 106, against 102 last evening.
The market closed fairly active and firm to
strong on the rally, generally at insignificant
changes for the day.
Railroad bonds displayed the same qu.et
business as for tbe past few days, but there
was less movement in the issues traded In and
fewer features ot interest. Tbe sales reached
Sl.593.000, out of which $118,000 were in Texas
andPacifio seconds. The market displayed a
firm tone throughout the day, but tbe final
changes are small as a rule and without special
significance. Metropolitan seconds rose 2, to
28, and Union Pacific collateral trust bs 2,
to 107.
The Post says: Considering all the circum
stances which have combined in tbe last two
days to discourage the buying of stocks it is
remarkable that the decline has not been
greater. First came the withdrawal of the
Union Pacific and Northwestern from the Inter-State
Association, followed by reports this
morning that the Rock Island wis cutting pas
senger rates to Denver, and that it had formed
an alliance with the San Antonio and Kansas
Pacific for a competing through line from Chi
cago to tbe Gulf, etc
Then the shock given to public confidence by
the discovery that the attempt to wreck the
Sixth National Bank bad, to say the least,
damaged the Credit of one man whose reputa
tion had heretofore been irreproachable; and
this morning again the rumor from Philadel
phia that the Reading had adopted its threaten
ing "more energetic policy" and begun to cut
the prices of coal all of these things were cal
culated to check speculation and depress the
prices of stocks, but their effect was Tery
slight, and indicates that stocks are very
strogly held.

Business Notes.
Extensive improvements will be made next
spring at Wildwood station. Land is cheap in
that locality.
The New York bank scandal has so far failed
to disturb financial circles. Money was easy
thero yesterday.
Thomas Singer has purchased land near
Beaver Falls, upon which he proposes to erect
an organ factory.
There is a brisk demand for business bouses
in tho central part of the city. Small dwellings
aro also in request. Both are scarce.
An oil broker said yesterday that the
Standard Is selling Lima oil right along. The
odor still clings to it bnt it is cheap, and
country people are satisfied with it. As an
llluminant it is equal to any.
On Tuesday, February 11, JohnD. Bailey will
bold a Btock auction at the Chamber of Coin
m erce rooms that will be phenomenal in some
respects. It will comprise all the local stocks
owned by the late Wm. Carr, ana include a
good many bank and other shares that rarely
come upon tbe market.
The appraisers appolntedlto estimate the ex
tent of the loss by the school fire at Wilkins
bnrg have completed their report. They ap
proximate the damages at $27,021 01. The en
tire insurance was 130,000, and the diiference
between these two amounts is estimated as tbe
value of tbe property saved, including tbe
standing walls. The money will be paid over
to the School Board in a few days.
For Additional Yard Koom.
The P., McK. & Y. is endeavoring to
purchase about $100,000 worth of property
In McKeesport to be utilized for yard and
depot purposes. The recent purchase of the
McKeesport and Eellevernon makes this
move an imperative necessity, and the rapid
growth of the passenger traffic demands a
new depot.

prisingly Smnll.
Chicago Wheat Speculative trading was
good to-day, and rather larger than during the
preceding'days of the week. An encouraging
feature, too, was that outside business was
more largely represented yesterday and to-day.
The East sent a good many orders, mostly to
buy, and some were received from the South
west. There was also good covering by some of
the large shorts, and the feeling was rather
strong. No -doubt operators bad oversold
themselves at the bottom prices, and on tbe
first symptom of improved feeling began to
cover. Some operators are rather inclined to
look for better prices, and argue that with
most of the scattering lots of long wheat closed
out. many of the traders largely short and a
likelihood of larger clearances from tbe sea
board, now that freight room is not so scarce,
the market ought to do better. There was
some buying on a temporary reaction on the
strength ot this. Tbe opening was a shade
easier, tbe market selling oft to anoint about
a&Ao below yesterday's closing, later im
proved Kc, ruled easier, and closed about tbe
same as yesterday.
Corn A moderate speculative and good
shipping business was transacted in this mar
ket, the feeling prevailing being steady, though
the undertone was easy. Transactions were in
the main local, and fluctuations limited to a
fractional range for February delivery. No. 3

An Important ICnllng on the Subject ofPer
manent Disability.
Washington, January 31. Assistant
Secretary Bussey has. rendered a decision in
the case of Daniel A. Wood, late of Com
pany K, First West Virginia Cavalry, in
which the former adverse action of the Pen
sion Bureau is reversed, and the claim lor
increase and rerating of pension followed.
TJpon the report of the examining surgeons
the Commissioner of Pensions allowed only
$30 per month, on the ground that the con
dition described by the surgeon is not con
sidered permanent." The Assistant Secre
tary, referring to this action, savs:
When does a disability become permanent T
From recent testimony it appears that the pen
sioner's condition has not ameliorated since his
last examination. He has been on bis back for
two years. How many more years must lie He
there before the doctors can decide that the
disability is permanent T I cannot be
lieve that it js necessary to wait until the pen
sioner is dead before deciding whether his con
dition of helplessness is permanent or not. The
probability, from a medical standnoint (as ap
pears from tho examlningsnrgeon's certificate,
which I regard as the best evidence on that
point), being wholly in favor of Its continuance
in the present decree, he shonld have tbe bene
fit of whatever doubt there may be in that re
gard. The claimant is allowed $31 25 per month
from November 12, 1888, and $50 per month
thereafter. - -

somewhat more active since our last report.
Potatoes are also in better demand. German

Arm, with an upward tendency. Jersey sweet
potatoes are tending upward and markets are
firm. Fancy apples are scarce in the market,
and outside prices are readily obtained. Poul

Florida oranges are the best stock. Lemons

firm in their views as to value of spring patents,
but the fact stands that the drift of markets is
