New York, February 20. The Iron Age
says of the American pig iron market:
The market continues qniet with sales
on a moderate scale. The coal min
ers' trouble in the Birmingham dis
trict is reported to be over. This means
that three new furnaces which have been
ready to blow in can soon be lighted. An
interesting fact indirectly affecting the East
ern market is that the Sheffield, Ala., fur
naces have begun the delivery, on contracts
aggregating about 5,000 tons, of pig iron
for the "Wheeling and Pittsburg districts,
having secured a rate of $2 50 from the largest
Pittsburg coal shippers who had their empty
barges at Sheffield. We continue to quote No.
1 foundry, 119 6032000 and No. 3 foundry;
18 50619 00. The Spiegeleisen market has been
veak, under efforts on the part of some im
porters to draw out offers from consumers.
Makers' prices hare not as yet declined as
much as these speculative lots. We quote
nominally, S3S C036 50. Ferro-Hanganese has
been quite active at a decline. We note sales
aggregating about 800 to 1,000 tons, chiefly to
vorks in the Pittsburg district at varying
prices. May delivery has sold as low as SSS 50,
while March has been placed at $92 for a small
lot. We quote SSS 0089 00 for early delivery.
Billets The market has been very quiet.
Reports that an Eastern mill has purchased
25.000 tons in Wheeling district are authori
tatively denied.
Steel rails In the West the Atchison. Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad have bought 17.000 tons
this week.
Wire rods The market is weaker, domestic
mills for the first time in a considerable period
being on the lookout for orders. Foreign rods
are weaker, but are still above domestic
prices. We quote domestic equivalent to tide
water delivery nominally SHQ55.
Steel rails The market has continued very
quiet, no sales of anv maimitude being re
ported by Eastern mills. We quote 135 00
85 SO nominally at Eastern mill.
Old rails There has been some business in
old rails at lower prices, and there are rumors
of low offerings of some rounds afloat. We
quote the market C6 0026 50 nominally.
A Philadelphia dispatch to the same jour
nal says:
Pig Iron There is no material change from
last week, although the general feeling is in
the direction of improvement. There is a bet
ter demand for foundry iron, which are freely
taken at quoted rates, although mill irons are
a little slow, unless concessions are granted.
Still consumers show more interest in the mar
ket, and the indications point to a growing de
mand in the near future. Prices are firm at
from 17 50 to SI?, delivered, for Gray forge:
SIS 5019 for No. 2 foundrv. and $19 7520 25
for No. 1, with 50 cents to 75 cents more for
special brands. So far as concerns the trade
locally, the outlook is considered favor, ble far
an im proving market. Stocks have n ot accum
ulated to any extent, while the .ttitude of con
sumers shows that supplies with them are at a
low point and that replenishment will be neces
sary at an early date.
Bessemer pig There is absolutely no de
mand, so that prices are entirely nominal at 821
at furnace.
Spiegeleisen Prices are unsettled and irreg
ular, with very little disposition to make firm
offers In the present condition of the market.
Sellers quote about 538 50, c i. f. et al, duty
paid, but $35 35 50 would probably be a buyer's
lull limit to-day.
Steel rails The market is dull and prices not
more than steady at 135 at milk Intimations
are made that business has been done at $34 50,
but it is difficult to get the details.
DULL IK CINCINNATI.
Consumers Display No Anxiety, Bavins:
Secured home Concessions.
rSPZCIJU, TEXEGBAX TO THB DISPATCH.
CiNcnraATr, February 20. Thus far during
the present week the local market for pig-iron
has been dull; there has been less pressure to
sell -iron held in second hands and furnaces
have offered no'further inducements to buyers.
Consumers, however, display no anxiety: hav
ing secured some concessions they expect
greater inducements. Indications of a revival
in industrial branches dependent upon iron,
however, impart a feeling of confidence to buy
ers and sellers ot pigalike. The Strong Engine
Company have taken office room in the Cham
ber of Commerce building, and the plant will
be located soon. The increased mercantile and
Industrial activity, present and prospective, has
made a decided impression upon the money
market; interest rates are higher and still hard
ening. Small sales of old wheels have been
made at S19 and Southern rails at 26, cash
basis.
BUIERS HOLDING OFF.
Bars Quiet in Chlcaso, but Prices Remain
Practically Unchanged,
rsrxcixi. tileobax to tux dispatch.!
Chicago, February 21 The most remark
able feature of this market is the increasing
demand for old steel rails, offers of $22 60 now
belno received for lengths over three feet.
Supply limited, as compared with new nses
opening for them. Old iron rails are weak, in
marked contrast. Buyers are holding off, be
lieving prices will be lower. Sales of a few
speculative lots of pig iron at cut rates have
caused some little disturbance, but more
among sellers ot Southern than Northern iron.
Northern makers are fairly firm, and take a
confident view of the situation, reporting good
business in medium grade foundry iron, with
large schemes in prospect which will consume
great deal of iron. Bars are quiet, orders in
sicht failing to materialize, but prices are un
changed. BEI1ISH IU0N MAEEET3.
n Improvement In Pig-, While Steel Re
mains at laimt Week's Prices.
ISrECIAL TTLZGRAM TO TEX DIRPATCH.1
New Yobk, February 2a The Iron Age to
day prints the following special cable from
London:
The pig iron warrant market has Improved
somewhat. Early in the week there was some
selling on the part of disappointed holders,
and that, togetherwith anxiety as to whether
settlements would be duly met and one failure,
had a bad effect. Prospects of easier money
rates have a tendency to encourage purchases
and give the market better tone. There is also
some Improvement in the trade demand.
Makers' prices for Scotch brands, Middlesbor
boroueh and Hematites are nearly the same as
they were a week ago. ,
Copper has been in more active demand the
past few days for speculation and consumption.
Stocks are steadily decreasing. Only 500 tons
were received from America during the first
half of the month, and furnace material is be
coming scarce. Montana ordinary Matte is
selling at 10s per unit. The French tolders of
Matte have about 23,600 tons on hand, and sur
prise is expressed that they do no' realize in
preference to selllne bar. During the past
fortnight there have been sales of 1,075 tons
Anaconda Argentiferous on private terms; 415
tons Montana at 10s per unit and 100 tons Mon
tana at 10s 3d, all at Liverpool, A large portion
of the warrants placed upon tbe market by
French bankers ten days ago is now being ab
orbed by consumers, but In view nf the sharp
fall caused by the large quantity offered ashort
time ago, they act with caution in purchasing
for future delivery.
Tbe demand for pig tin haa been stronger
and prices are showing more firmness. Tbe
question of Increased production has unsettled
confidence to some extent, but it is believed
that prospective supplies have been over esti
mated. Actual business in tin plate has been moder
ate, but inquiries are more numerous and the
tone pf tbe market is better. The movement
in the direction of a general shortening of work
at tbe mills has made no progress and the
scheme to rednce production seems to be dead.
Steel of nearly 11 descriptions is held at last
week's figures, with the demand fairly active
for billets and slabs but slower for rails. Wire
rods are offered at Ss under the prices asked a
week ago. s

Scotch Pig Tbere has been a turn for the
better In warrants, with sales at nearly 3s. ad
vance during the weds, and the buying freer.
Maker's iron has had better sale also and the

the lowest point. There was a good deal of
noise at the windup, but very little wool. All

Fourth Avenue Properly.
THE BAKEWELL LAW BUILDING.
Commissioners Surprised and Postpone Bale
of County Buildings.
A BOSTON IDEA GOOD P0E PITTSBURG
The erent of most importance in real
estate circles yesterday was the sale by C. H.
liove, of Nos. 164 Rnd 166 Fourth avenue,
lot 40 feet front bv 85 deep, with two three
story buildings, for Captain William Ward
to Abraham Israel, for $50,000. One of the
buildings is occupied by Alies & Bailey
and the other by the City Morgue. At the
expiration of the leases the purchased will
erect a handsome bnilding on the prop
erty. It was learned yesterday that the Bake
well Law Building will be ripped up in the
spring. Three stories will be added and
other improvements made, plans for which are
about ready. The enlargement has been deter
mined upon to meet,the great demand for of
fices in that locality.
The county property will not be put up at
auction to-morrow, the sale having been post
poned for one week. The change of pro
gramme was brought about in this way:
Thinking the character of the day bad been
overlooked. The Dispatch representative
visited Major Pentecost, tbe auctioneer, called
his attention to the fact that to-morrow will be
a legal holiday, and asked him if the sale would
proceed.
"Great Scott I" exclaimed the Major, "I
hadn't tboneht of that. Of course there will
be no sale". Here's the expense of a week's ad
vertising for nothing. I will have the matter
fixed at once."
He then hurried over to the County Commis
sioner's office and informed them of bis discov
ery. They were as much surprised as he had
been. Not one of them had thought about to
morrow beine a legal holiday. "Of course," said
one of the officials, "there will be no sale. Wo
must do legal business in a legal way. I am glad
yon called our attention to tho oversight in
time to have it corrected."
The upshot of the matter was that Major
Pentecost 'was authorized to have the time of
sale changed to Saturday week.
A lawyer, on being asked if a sale on a legal
holiday would stand, replied: "It might, but it
is best to observe legal forms. Legal business
should bo done in a strictly legal manner, and
then nobody can object."
A communication to The Dispatch from
Boston announces the opening of a real estate
exchange in that city, which was attended by a
large number of Influential citizens. Henry M.
Whitney was elected President. In the course
of his address ho stated tbe objects of the ex
change to be to popularize investment in real
estate, promote celerity in the sale and trans
fer thereof, influence needed reforms affecting
the same, cheapen and simplify its public sale,
establish proper customs of brokerage, and col
late information regarding changes ot owner
ship and values, assessments, legislation, and
whatever else may be ot interest to brokers
and others. Tbe exchange will be operated on
much the same plan as the New York ex
change, in whose auction rooms 64,000,000
worth of real estate was sold last year.
There is much in the above worthy the care
ful consideration of real estate brokers in Pitts
burg, where business bas become so large that
it cannot be satisfactorily handled under the
present system.

The question of the durability of wood is of
great Interest to all who use it. and especially
to builders. On this subject an experienced
lumberman says: "Wood rots rapidly when
moist and exposed to the atmosphere. Decay
is contagious, and when decomposition begins
in the albumin 'us sap the woody fiber slowly
follows, becoming a tender, friable mass.
A little thought will show how this explains
why green or moist lumber rots so much sooner
than seasoned or dry lumber, and also how
painting preserves the wood by excluding air
and moisture. Other substances also affect the
lasting qualities of a wood. Thus, woods con
taining some substances which, like tannic
acid, resists decay woods of a resinous nature,
which prevents the entrance of moisture into
tboir interior, or those woods which are of a
Close, compact texture will all be found quite
durable.
"Lumber from a cold climate is generally
preferable to that from warmer regions. Nor
wegian pine is noted for its durability. The
season in which the trees were cut down is
thought to affect the qualities of the lumber.
The forestry laws of many countries enjoin the
felling of trees except between November IS
and February 15."
A BOOH IN STOCKS.-
Brokers Show What They Can Do When
They Huatle.
Stock trading yesterday was the liveliest and
heaviest for a long timo. At the morning ses
sion, lasting 37 minutes, the transactions aggre
gated 875 shares. Business in the afternoon
was good, but not so heavy. Whether the spurt
was to show the President of the United States
what Pittsburg brokers can do when they try.
or merely to get the market out of the rut, is
open to debate; but whether that or this be
true, the activity displayed was as surprising as
it was welcome. Total sales were 1,891 shares.
Realizing was the order of the day, in which
Pleasant Valley was most conspicuous. The
first sale was at 25; it moved up by easy stages
to 28, eased off and closed at 25 bid. Sellers
realized large proflts,about J7 a share, which
was tbelr only reason for letting it go. Buyers,
of course, expect It to go stilt higher. Alle
gheny Heating Company advanced to 104 bid,
without bringing any of It out. Philadelphia
Gas was firm, with very little offered. Central
Traction was hammered down to 29, but Pitts
burg was fractionally stronger. Fipeage, Man
ufacturers' Gas and Luster were fractionally
weaker, and Chartlers Gas a trifle stronger.

A BEAK ATTACK.
Continued Hammering; of Rnllroad Shares
Rock Island a Victim Tennessee
Coal Make a Sensational
Drop Trusts Less
Promlnenr.
New York, February 20 There were no
new developments in the Western rate war to
day, and while tbe hammering by the bears
went on as usual, it was-confined to a few
stocks only, and bad comparatively little effect.
The Bank of England at last reduced its rate
of discount from 6 to 5 percent, but as this
action has been so long expected it failed to
stimulate speculation either in London or here.
It did, however, give a rather better tone to
the market In the early trading, but the Im
petus was insufficient to stem the force of the
bear attack, which was commenced soon after
the opening of business.
Rock Island, as usual, bore the brunt of the
the pressure, but there was evidently consider
able covering of shorts upon tbe decline, and
tbe influence ot the movement in Rock Island
was decidedly less than it lias been for tbe past
few days. The drive at Rock Island was over
by noon, after which time that stock became
quiet, with the remainder of the list and fluctu
ations within narrow limits like the others. For
a time tbe pressure was directed against Louis
ville and Nashville, and while that stock
yielded it was a fractional break, only and was
soon given up.
Some of the specialties also came in for at
tention, and Tennessee Coal again made one of
its sensational drops, declining from 78 to 70
on a small business. Stop orders were the
Drincinal cause of Its bad break, and afterward
a portion of the loss was recovered, though it is,
still materially tower this evening. Colorado
v;oai ieu away in sympamy witn -.Tennessee,
and recovered but slightly. Cleveland, Colum
bus, Cincinnati and St. Louis was also attacked
and declined fractionally. Missouri Pacifio
was strong in tbe face of the weakness of the
general market, but Western Union was heavy.
Burlington was let alone to-day, and was quiet
and steady throughout.
The Trusts were less prominent and failed to
make any movement ot importance. The mar
ket relieved from pressure In tbe afternoon
slowly crept up on a light business, and finally
closed dull and firm at but slight changes
for the day In most of the list. Tennessee Coal
lost Si and Colorado Coal 1. but there were
many fractional advances at tbe close.
Railroad bonds were again dull and without
feature of importance, the final changes show
ing few which call for mention. The sales of
all issues reached $955,000, but there was no
animation anywhere in the list.
The -Posl says: There is still a great deal of
speculation as to whether the persistent attacks
upon Rock Island conceal any other object than
the mere raiding of prices in a general bear
campaign, or whether they may not be con
nected with some purpose of keeping up the
rates, or to reduce the other granger roads,
the Burlington and Qulncy and tbe Burlington
and Northern, Into some 'agreement to main
tain rates. It is quite certain that some large
amounts of long stock have come upon tbe
market since the dividends were reduced to
1 per cent quarterly, as was paid on February
1. It is also not Improbable that some of those
on the inside can see that unless there Is some
thing Btronger to take the place of the inter
State Association, which is now no longer a
controlling power, rates will be bo reduced by
excessive competition west of Chicago next
summer that the Rock Island, with no such
alliance as the Northwestern and Union Pacific,
would be at a great disadvantage and not able
to earn its dividends.
There has undoubtedly been an increase of
interest in tbe current year to March 3L 1890,
but how much is not known to anybody bnt
the managers. If it should be as much as it
was in either of the two preceding years It will
be seen that it would require an increase of
about $600,000 In tbe surplus earnings over
those of the year to March 31, 1889, to be equal
to 4 per cent on the stock. It is probable that
there will be such an increase for tbe current
year, and that tbe Rock Island will earn its 4
per cent in the year to March 31. im Bnt it is
pretty certain that It could not do as well after
ward when freights become scarce.

A Bulge In Whent Caused by Colder
Weather nod Foreign Baying Corn
and Onts Featureless and
Hoc Prodncts Dull.
Chicago Wheat A large volume of busi
ness was transacted in the market to-day, and
there was mote excitement than witnessed for
some time past. The feeling was decidedly
stronger and a hlcher range of prices was es
tablished. The oponing was Kc higher, and
with slight fluctuations prices were further ad
vanced ?4c eased off Kc, ruled stronger again,
and the closing was abont a higher than yes
terday. Shorts covered freely, and there was
also good buying for investment. Foreigners'
agents sent in buying orders for May delivery,
and are steadily adding to their lines of long
wheat.
The cold weather was probably one of, the
principal influences on the market. The grow
ing wheat Is far advanced in growth of other
seasons, and considerable apprehension is felt
on this account. There has been but little
snow over the winter wheat belt, and the wheat
therefore has but little protection.
Corn was traded in moderately within narrow
limits and the undertone was steady, no special
cbangd being recorded in values. There were
nonewonuide features presented. The mar
ket opened at He influenced some by tbe cold
weather, ruled firmer, closed a shade lower
than yesterday.
There were no particularly new features de
veloped in oats, and a quiet and steady feelinc
prevailed. Trading was lighter and entirely In
tbe deferred futures. The opening was firm,
but liberal offerings caused a weak feeling and
prices for May declined He There was fair
buying on the decline, anu a slight reaction
followed and the market closed atabout the
same prices as on yesterday.
Pork was dull, and prices after fluctuating
narrowly closed about the same as yesterday.
Lard was less active than yesterday, and a
steadier feeling was developed. Toward the
last prices worked a shade stronger, closing a
trifle better than yesterday.
Business in short ribs was of small volume,
and, although the market was barely steady
early, it worked a trifle firmer late in the ses
sion, closing 2K5o higher.

Country, Produce Jobbing- Prices.
Markets are dull and featureless. Commission-men
report that there is little doing, and
only the choicest stuff brings quotations. Ap
ples are in full supply and a shade easier than
they were at our last reports. Poultry supplies
are also better than they have been or late, and
markets show weakening tendencies. Bntter,
with tbe exception of very fancy, is slow. The
average consumer appears to prefer bntterlne
to common grades of butter. Eggs are steady
at prices quoted. Cheese is firm and an early
advance is probable. A good quality of pota
toes is in good demand at quotations. But poor
stock, which seems to predominate this season,
is very dull.

The Iroa Boom Stimulates the Fire Brick
Trade nannfaetnrera Behind In Or
ders Wisconsin Produce In
Plltsbars The Week
' at Liberty.
O j-tice ov PrrrsRUEO Dispatch, )
Thursday. February 20. 1890. (
The fire brick business was probably
never livelier in Pittsburg than it is at this
time. Interviews with representatives of
four of the leading manufacturers to-day de
veloped the fact that orders are already on
the books sufficient to absorb tbe entire out
put for five months ahead. The man who de
sires to place an order for high grade fire brick
at this time Is compelled to wait for a more
convenient season. Mr. Thomas Addenbrook,
master bricklayer of tbe Edgar Thomson Steel
Works, was in the city with a view to place an
order for 1,250.000 bricks for the purpose of re
hning old furnaces. Previous orders from the
Edgar Thomson called for about 1,500.000. In
order to tbe acceptance ot tbe new order one ot
our leading fire brick manufacturers stipulates
an advance in the time of filling the old order.
How the Demand Increase!.
The orders already placed by the Edgar
Thomson approach 3,000,000 fire brick, and,
from the present outlook as many more will be
needed by the time the present orders are
filled. It is but a few years since 60,000 tons of
Besaeraer Iron was considered a good yield for
a furnace before a new llnfhg was required.
This yield has been more than doubled by fur
naces of the Edgar Thomson in late years.
With the present high price and strong demand
for steel rails it seems to be the policy to crowd
the furnaces for all that is in them, even at tbe
sacrifice of fire brick and tbe necessity of fre
quent rellnings. Tbe average life of tbe fur
nace is little above two years. But the money
made in pushing them to tbelr utmost capacity
far more than compensates for the burning out
of the llnlifg.
The present price nf tbe better grades of fine
brick is $31 per 1,000, an advance of about SI in
the past three months. From present outlook
a still further advance is probable ere long.
Said Mr. Addenbrook: "Our present force in
the erlcklayintrdepartment at the Edgar Thom
son is close to 350 men. This is above our aver
age number, because we have been building
two new furnaces, one of which is just com
pleted. But, if no further additions are made
it will require from 250 to 300 bricklayers to
keep the nine furnaces in necessary repair. In
fact we will be compelled to build a new fur
nace or two every year, as the way matters are
pushed puts an old furnace on our bauds for
relining fully that often."
A Wisconsin Produce Merchant! Views.
A member of the firm of Scanlon Brothers,
produce dealers of Lyndon, Wis., 80 miles west
of Milwaukee, was in th city to-day negotiat
ing for the sale of eight carloads of potatoes.
Said be: "I have seldom known a better yield
of potatoes in our section, both as to quantity
and quality- The price paid to farmers is
abont 25c per bushel, and the freight to Pitts
burg Is 18c per bushel. Onr stuff Is generally
sold in Chicago, bnt the markets there are
over-stocked. This Is my second trip to Pitts
burg for the purpose of selling potatoes.
Through the Northwestat a distance from rail
roads potatoes have been selling of late as
low as 12c per bushel, and slow at
that price. In Central Wisconsin the
oats crop was very heavy last season,
and price there now is 16c per bushel. Corn is
selling at 25c. Tbe crops in all lines were un
usually large, and prices are very low for
almost anything farmers raise. As to wbeat
there was only an average crop last season, but
ours Is not much of a wbeat country. This has
not been a good year for firoflts to farmers,
owing to tbe abundance ,of everything. It has.
however, been a good year for the millions who
consume."
