pp5 Fw$mmkfmm 18J Wmzwm STEEL AND TARIFF. Braddock Able lo Compete With En gland in Selling Steel Kails, ACCORDING TO AN IKON EXPERT. Products of Homestead Works largely Bought by tlie Government. WIBE SAILS AND BARBED WIRE DULL OFFICE OF PlTTSBUKG DISPATCH, Tuesdat. March 4, 1S90. Toe question of reducing tariff on steel rails is regarded by some as of no practical importance in the present condition of trade, as prices are fully as high in England as in the United States. It is somewhat difficult to get at the actual cost of making steel rails at the Edgar Thomson "Works, but when the market price was 2G per ton, as it was last summer, there was certainly a fair profit to the manufacturer. The advance in the past six months has been close to $10 per ton and the increased cost of making in that period lias been abont $3 per ton. The increased cost lias been m coke, ores and tonnage labor. An expert in steel making recently expressed the opinion that, even at tlie increased cost of materials and labor, steel rails could be pro ducea at Braddock under S20 per ton. The highest estimate ot the cost is S23. leaving a net profit to the manufacturer of ?12 to SIS per ton When it is remembered that the output of the Edgar Thomson is about L200 tons of finished steel rails every 24 hours, it is plain that money is being made. The assertion is made by the expert quoted, without fear of contradiction, that steel rails can be laid down in Liverpool from Braddock and sold there at market prices at a profit of $10 per ton a condition of things unprece dented in this industry The advance on steel rails in Great Britain the past six months has been fullvoOner cent greater than it has been in the United Stiles. v o aro fully able to hold onr own In the world's markets against all competitors in the manufacture of steel rails. Mccl Products nt Hoinmlcnd. Interviews with ome of the employes of the Homestead Steel Works have developed a rew facts which are here jotted down. The Home stead works, unliko those of Braddock, are turning out a great variety of steel products, such as boiler plate, beams, channels, aneles, and in fact cverj tning in the line of structural rfn.1 Tlirno flmncnnil Tnna rprA rnrtnOifrl from these works for the great Chicago Andi- tonum. The works are at this time filling a large contract for the new St. Paul Opera Ilouc, in processor construction, ueside tms, supplies of everv description, in the shape of angle' and channels, are being furnished for the new Government cruisers in process of con struction at Philadelphia and San Francisco, fho output of plates for the past few months has been about 5,000 tons per month. In the month of January 4,000 tons of the finest boiler plate were produced at Homestead. The verj highest tests on boiler iron are those demanded In the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and the Homeead plate was equal to this test, as it called out some heavy oi ders from that company. The margin of profit on boiler plate is narrow. On structural steel thero is a good profit. The price of the latter is quoted at 135 per toe A pleasant feature of the situation at Home stead to the w orkmen is that on the acceptance of the recent scale it was agreed that the works wonld be run for three years. From present outlook there will be demand sufficient for all that can be produced for a year or two ahead. Mnall Profit on Bnrbed Wire. "While thero is a comfortable margin on rails and structural steel profits of late have been obliterated in some lines of steel and iron pro ducts by the increased cost of materials. Barbed wire and wire nails are among the arti cles which are now produced with a very nar row margin of prolix Said a representative of one of onr largest rolling mills recently: "We aro selling some lines of products at a loss, but find it necessary to do this in order to hold the trade in other lines where there s profit. And, in addition to this, it would be more expensive to stop than to goon. We work on in the hope of a better day. If we can hold on long enough the better day is sure to come. ' '"The manufacturer of barbed wire, bar iron, cut nails and wire nails, who is not well heeled and prepared to work without profit if need be for a year or two, is likely to encounter snags. In these departments of our iron and steel in dustries we are likely to hare some practical demonstrations of tne Darwinian doctrine of tho survival ot the fittest in the near future."

Chicago Wheat There was an activo trade again to-day and the feeling developed was unsettled and decidedly nerous. Higher prices ero reached, bnt tlio full advance was not sustained. The opening was about the same as the closing yesterday, ruled strong and advanced ?ic, then with "some fluctuations declined c, ruled stronger and closed ip higher than yesterday. Shorts covered very freely, and one prominent trader, who of late has figured on short side, it w.ts claimed bought heavily. A good aeil of realizing was indulged in, and had it not been for the desire on the part of the longs to take their profits, prices would have reached a still higher range. Last cables quoted a firm feeling and inodeiate demand, with July and August deliveries a trifle higher and the rest unchanged. Corn There was very little interest to note in the market, and trading was dull and dragging the entire session: the unaertono was weak and had it not been for the firmer feeling in other speculative articles, the market no doubt would have sold lower. Transactions were in the main local, but few outside orders being on the market and nuctuations were limited to Jic range, closing 'AlAc lower than 5 esteraay. Oats were slow and steady and without new features of special importance. The offerings were not large and the demand not of a charac ter to inspire large transactions. Mess Pork Only a fair trade was reported. Karl the feeling was stronger and prices sold 2ic higher. Later the offerings were slightly increased, while the demand slackened and prices settled back again and closed steady at inside figures. Lard A stronger feeling was manifested earlv in the davand a lew transactions were made at slightly advanced prices. Later an easier feeling was developed and prices receded again and closed quiet. Short Rib Sides Trading was fairly active. Prices ruled abont J higher, but outside fig ures were not fully supported. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEATn. 2.

I came out to this coast lrotn Iowa last spring, and was very greatly surprised to find Chamberlain's remedies so well and favorably known here. I have sold them for the past 1C years, and must say that they give the best satisfaction of any medicine on the market. In all these years I hare yet to hear of a single complaint on any one of them. They are world beaters.

STATUS OF THE SUSPENSION BRIDGE As an illustration of the activity in real estate, it may be stated that the College place plan was put in the market last fall, and since December 1 "W. A. Herron & Sons report the sale of the entire front on Filth avenue, being in- all 437J4 feet The lots were all sold iu large pieces through to Arabella street, and the purchasers intend building fine residences thereon In the near future. Mr. O. M. Edwards purchased tho ground three years ago, being about five acres, and now holds the Hono street front for sale in lots, the Fifth avenue front having been dis posed of. The result of the negotiations between tho Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester Railway Company and the Suspension Bridge Company will probably be a new structure. A stockholder of the former corporation said yesterday: "I think something definite will be done as soon as tho board just elected by tho bridge company organizes and gets settled down to business. My idea is that the present bridge will be de molished and an entirely new ono built, "It will be as nearly as possible a continua tion of Sixth street, so as to accommodate the railway and afford plenty of room for travel. There are great difficulties in the way of span ning the river at any other convenient point, and I am confident it will not be attempted." Some persons have expressed fear lest all the land in and around Pittsburg shall be bought up by capitalists and held at such prices as to render it impossible for working people to ac quire homes. In regard to this matter, a prom inent real estate broker said yesterda): "There is no danger of such a result. Capitalists are the smallest buyers. At least 75 per cent of the sales are made to working men. This is the best feature of the market. As to supply, it is nractically limitless. It will not he exhausted by this generation, nor the next. There are thousands upon thousands of unoccupied acres on all sides of the city. "These vast tracts are being made accessible by rapid transit, and will ultimately be thickly populated. Twenty )ears ago Shadyside and Roup were regarded as rural districts. Now they are abont tho center of population. Cable and electric cars are reducing miles to minutes. Many working people live seven or eight miles from their places of business, but find no diffi culty in arrivintr on time. The same result will attend tho opening of new districts." The $165,000 real estate deal, about which so much has been said, and so many guesses made, was closed up yesterday by Black A Baird. all the paners beipg passed in the following man ner: The Caldwell property, 45 by 85. on Fourth avenue, was sold by them through w. A. .Her ron fc Sons for $90,000. The property in tho rear, on Third avenue, owned by John Hill. 20 by 85, was sold by Black & Baird for $24,500. The Thompson property, on Third avenne, 40 by 85. was sold by Black & Baird, through S. W. Black A Co., for 850,000 the three transactions making a total of $164,500. The purchasers are the same in each case, being the Times Publishing Company, of which Mr. C.L. Mageo is the head. The company will proceed at once to erect a ten-story build ing for their own ana general office purposes.

Pittsburg was incorporated as a borough April 22, 1794. A census taken six years later showed a population of 1,505. It became a city in 1816. The first Mayor was Ebeneier Denny, who held office ftoin July 9, 1S1C to July 23. 1S17. At that time Councils elected the Mayor from the Board of Aldermen. Mr. Denny had been an army officer. His descendants aro nu merous and prominent Tomas Liggett is having new offices built for the accommodation of his real estate busi ness at No. 71 Diamond streetwhere he intends having quarters as bandsomo as any in the city. Mr. Liggett has been on Fourth avenne for the past ten years, but is of the opinion that Diamond street will be equally as good a business place while much less expensive. Such has been the experience of Mr. Riley.and a number of other real estate men are thinking seriously on the advisability of leaving Fourth avenue, where tho rents are booming, and moving to Diamond street A CHANGE OP BASE. Local Securities Shown Disposition to As sume n flicker Level. Stock trading was considerably off color yes terday in volume, total sales being only 340 shares. Office business was brisk. Tho en couraging feature was a rally in almost every thing handled. Central Traction leading the upward movement. The weak spots were Luster and La Norla. There seems to be a considerable revival of interest in Consignee Mining Company, reports from which are of an encouraging nature. The annual meeting of the company will be held in this city some time this month. llOllNINO. AFTIHNOOX. i Pitts. P. S. M. Ex... Anchor Savings Hank. Exchange at. ltank.. Freehold Nat. Hank..

RAILROAD EARNINGS Continue 10 Show n Lnrco Increase Wlthont Helping Shnrcs An Off Day With Few Changes In Valncs. Nkv York, March 4. The stock market was again very dnll to day, especially for the regu lar list though the Trusts showed a littlo more animation at advancing prices. Tlie news of the day was not of an especially important naturo, but the reports of railroad earnings continue to show a large increase, both in gross and net. As a whole, the railroad business exhibits greater prosperity than ever bcroro enjojed. The foreigners were doing very little to-day, bnying some Louisvillo and Nashville and sell ing a little Union Pacific and St Paul. The bears initiated the dealings by a drive at values which resulted in small fractional declines, bnt although Union Pacific, St. Paul and others wero made the special objects of tho attack, buying orders appeared in them, and tho bears gave it up and went into cover. With the edssation of the pressure, however, dullness became the ruling feature and stagna tion settled over the entire market relieved only at times by sncclal movement in a few shares. Western Union and Missouri Pacific showed considerable weakness, whilo Wabash was strong. The attack upon Western Union was continued. One of tho strongest points In the list was Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred, which made a marked advance. The movement al though originating in London, was helped by the report tbat its new connection with the Baltimore and Ohio would soon be completed. The Trusts were all more active and strong, but Sugar failed to hold its improvement Lead rose on a rumor which painted to the success of the reorganization plan. The market finally closed dull and stagnant at insignificant changes from last night's prices, tnough most of the list is higher. Wheeling and Lake Erie referred rose 214. Manhattan 2. and Pullman, which was bought upon the decisions in the West favorable to tho company, 2 per cent Railroad bonds were quiet to dull, and while tho market exhibited larger character, the gen eral list being stagnant as usual of late, thero was more movement among the bonds dealt in and some material changes for the day were scored. The sales reached only 935.000, with no special activity. The advances included Syra cuse. Binghamton and Now York firsts 4K to 1 35) New York and Northern seconds 2 to 54, and bhenandoah Valley firsts, certificates. 2 to 118. The .Poji says: The favorable report of the St Paul 111 showing an increase of 14 per cent in net earnings for January over the same month of 1SS9, and an increaso of nearly 7 per cent in the gross earnings for February, un doubtedly helped to strengthen that stock, and in connection with the increase of 9 per cent in the February gros earnings in the North western and tho great increase of 81 per cent in the Jannarv net carnlnirs of the Bmliiigton. puts a very much better complexion on the granger situation than is reflected in tho flood of rumors ahout cuts and rate wars tbat are continually received from Chicago. The easier condition or the money market is however, another important factor in tho stronger tone of the stock market Money is lower now in London thau it has been for a month or two past, and while tho high rates continue here, there was some heavy selling of bankers bills to get money which caused two reductions in tho rates of exchange last week aud one yesterday. But now that the appte bensions about the money market here have been relieved by that means even though no gold was imported, exchange was up again to day.
