THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. PEIDAT, MARCH. 7,
BUYERS ARE WAITING
For Concessions in Kearly All
Branches of the Metal Market,
AMERICAN PIG IS RATHER DULL.
Some Shading in the Fijrnres on Steel Bails
is Reported.
THE COMUTIOX ACROSS THE OCEAN
.srCCIAL TELFOEA3I TO TITB DtRTATCII.l
Kemt Yokk, March 6 The Iron Age re
view ot the market is as follows: In every
depaituieniof the iron and steel trades the
one general feature is the desire of
buyers to wait before purchasing. Unless
they actnallv need material for immediate
requirements they cannot be tempted by
offers, fearing and believing that the ten
dcrcy is downward and the want seems
cheap to-day, rnaybe dear a few weeks
hence. This attitude is surprisingly gen
era), and In it lies some danger to tho market,
since when tho turn docs come it is likely to
come with a rush.
THE PIG MABKET FLAT.
In Amer.can pig, taken as a whole, tho mar
ket is flat, with very little business being trans
acted. Foundries Generally are reported to he
very well covered for a considerable time to
come, so that consumers seem to have the bet
ter of it in their fac.hu to await development1;.
Outside lots are offered at low prices, small
parcels of Xo. 1 hav.nggonc shopping at SIS 50.
The Birmingham tnunn Irate is reported to be
still intact, so that no open cutting of agreed
prices in that quarter for Western markets has
3 ct taken place.
We quote No. 1 foundry, $19 2520: No. 2
foundry. SIS 251S 50, and gray forge, S171S at
tidewater.
In Spirgeleiscn and ferro-manganese, there
is complete stagnation m the market for man
gamferous l.iate-ial, so tLat values are cnilrely

Inwiicrods the e is increasing pressure to

ceded to $tS& JO 50. which would bo equivalent
to about 4j3S 50 at tidewater.
SOME SALES OF STEEL EAILS.
In steel rails some sales have been made in
this vicinity and in New England, aggregating
about 7,000 tons. llcsules a number of small
blocks have been placed South and Vct.
There is keen competition both East and West,
to judge from the report of the Eastern mills on
the We-tcrn market.and the talk of the Western
agents of the doings of the Eastern mills. Tho
market is weaker in both sections, and a good
round order for desirable delircrj w ould tempt
some of the mills to make close prices. Wo
quote nominal! at Ewem milU $31 5035.
with the 'jrac quotations for the Pittsburg
district.
In track material the market is weaker, "with
pome sales in thi-. icimt We quote spikes
2.15g2.2V. ancles. 2.10W.15c: bolts and hexacon
rim-. .V-Mijiliic; and bolts audsquare nuts, 3.10c
delivered.
SO C1IAXGE IN STKCCTUEAL.
Only details were discussed at the meeting of
beam manufactnrers at Pittsburg last week, no
change being made in prices We understand
that the total production of beams by the dome-tic
mills in 1SS9 was 10LO0O tons. This
clearly ind cates how largely the demand for
structural iron has developed. The market
now is quiet with no transactions of any con
sequence closed in this section. Wo quote on
iron universal mill plates 2.20c to 2.25c; on
ancles, from 2.20c to 2.30c: on tees, from 2,00c to
2.TCC, and on beams and hanncl-. 3.10c on doc.
In plates we note a sals of a moderate lot of
marine steel at 3.0c delivered.
In old rails among the recent sales were threo
lots from a trunk line aggregating 4,000 tons at
private terms, chiefly for Western delivery.
The market is dull with some pressure to fell
and littie demand. Wo quote nominally J25J5

tFrrtlAt TELEOEAJI TO THE DISPATCH.:
Knr J obk, March a Tlio Iron tge special
cable from London says- Dniing the latter part
of last week there was a fair trade in pigiron,but
since then the market has been dull and prices
have shown a downward tendency. A meeting
has been held of hematite makers, at which it
was agreed to damp furnaces down in order to
bring tho position into better shape. Another
meeting will be held shortlj to decide upon tho
conditions and the quantity of iron to be pro
duced. Tin plate has continued in limited demand,
and prices are still unsc ttled,with as low as 14s Gd
Bald to have been accepted for Bessemer from
second hands. The .Morewood, Cambria and
South Wales works, owners of 13. . lirand,
have had a private meeting, at winch it was re
solved not to stop work, as they have orders
enough on hand to last s x months. Western
works will not ston cither. Notice has been
posted in the MelingnlHth- woncs that con
tracts terminate a week from Saturda. Hie
works are not fully bookeii, and arc thcreforo
willing to combine with others to shut down.
For copper the demand has been small, but
set eral lots of bars changed hands at about
47 hiwculation has been active. Holders of
American matte continue very iirm in their
views and expect a large demand, as
smelters' have bought comparatively little
sinep November last. Recent sales have been
chief! to sulphate copper manufacturers.
Transactions daring the past fortnight include
4 JO tons Anaconda matte at ls 3d and 40 tons
Montana matte at 10s, to arrive at LiverpooL
Block tin has iranroved and qaito a lame busi
ness was done at 'J0 os spot. Outside
speculation, however, is lather dull.
It is reported that Gernun galvanized steel
iron makers arc forming a sndicate. Belgian
iron makers have taken united action to main
tain prices and the movement has resulted in a
more acth e demand springing up. The French
market is quieter with a slight giving away in
price8, although efforts are made to uphold late
rates.

SPBIISG MILLINERY.
Jobbers Expect a Large Trndc Tlironsi
of JCndr Visitors nnd easterners
From Nenr nnd rnr
Styles nnd Shnpe.
The grand spring opening of our wholesale
milliners, which began on Tuesday and closed
to-day. has been a success despite the unfavor
able weather. The idea of tho three days'
opening the first week of every March, is more
to display goods and showstjlcs and shapes
than to sell coods. The sales are expected
later on. Retailers, for a circle or 200 miles
around, make it a point to visit the cit the first
week of March to view the prospect o'er and
post themselves on the season's fashions.
Jobbers maKe itapoinnoaiti uicji iuuua
to the best po-siblc advantace. and the display
this week eclipsed all formor seasons.
Said a representative of one of
onr leading jobbing firms;
"Our opening has been a success. W e have had
more visitors than in any prcions season. The
numberwho came to ourestablishinent was not
less than 1.000. While we did not make any
vcrv large sales, considering the number of
visitor?, we expect large results between now
and April. Tho fashion this season runs to
flowers more than for many cars past. Straw
laces and fancy straw braids are also in demand
this seasoi. Fancy ribbons and plaids In a
great variety of des'isns are also in demand. In
tiie line of hats, smaller uattcrns than last sea
son are the fashion. Tho Weftern trade still
calls tor large hats, but for Pittsburg and im
mediate vicinit the rage is fnrsmalier hats and
toques. Prices of bats and flowers are 10 to 20
percent loner than last spring. Ribbons are
somewhat changed from last season and show a
tendoncv toward higher prices owing to ad
vance in raw silk. In general, we aro entirely
satisfied wiih oar spring opening and consider
the outlook for a big trade this season brighter
than it has eaer been before."
Another leading jobber in millinery goods
thus expressed himself as to the onenlng and
outlook: "We have had more visitors at tins
opening than ever before. They came from all
the leading towns around. Ve had ono
customer from Ilarrisburg who for years has
been of tho opinion that he could do better
here in the millinery line than in Philadelphia.
On Tuesday there neie not less than 1,000
visitors to our establishment and a number of
aervcomtortable orders were placed. As to
fashions the prospects are that the season
ahead is to be a flower and lace season. For a
number ot years past feathers have been promi
nent. Now it looks as thouch feathers were to
be retired for a time to give place to flowers
and lat.es. The outlook for the jobumg
millinery trade is good in fact, it was never bet
ter." LITE T0CK MARKETS.

CRIPPLED BY BOOMS.
How They Flourished in California
and Then Collapsed,
LEAVIKG POVERTY LN THEIR WAKE
The Burden of Opinion Shows a Real Estate
Exchange is Not Wanted.
ACTIVITY IK THE UP-RIVER BOROUGHS
Colonel John Simmons, of San Diego, Cal.,
was in the city yesterday, on bis way East
on business. He resided in Pittsburg 20
years ago, and was astonished as well as
pleased nt its rapid growth since that time.
Iu a brief conversation he remarked that
Southern California had suffered severely for
several years from real estate booms, but
nearly all of them had exploded and lelt
desolation in their wake.
They engendered a feeling of extravagance,
which assumed many forms. Impractical
improvements were started, costly hotels
were Duilt, where travelers hardly ever came,
Towus without number were laid out, ana lots
sold at fabulous prices. When the end came
people who bad grasped at millions found
themselves without a cent. Several Pittsburg
ers were caught in the whirl. He hoped Pitts
bnrg would never indulge iu the folly of a
boom.
Several real estate brokers asked yesterday
for their views in regard to organizing an ox
change here, said they were entirely indiffer
ent about the matter. One of them remarked:
"All the brokers would not join; quite a num.
ber would continue business as at present. To
establish an exchange under such circum
stances would do more harm than good by
separating the agents into two distinct classes
the ins and the outs and throat cutting
avould go on more vigorously than ever.
"I think the time has not jet come for an ex
change. The utter lack of interest taken in
Thursday's meeting is conclusive that a large
majority of agents are opposed to au ex
change." The principal business drawback Is bad roads
The teamsters' occupation is about gone.
Building and oil well drilling have been great
sufferers from tins anno jance all winter, and
March brings no sign of relief. Many farmers
have stopped trying to get their produce to
market. This shortens supplies in the city and
stiffens prices to consumers Bad reads are
more expensive in the end than good ones.
Said a business man yesterday: "If jou will
cause the dust to fly in ten days I will guaran
tee an improvement of 50 per cent in many
branches of business. We are doing splendidly,
however, under the circumstances."
The small minority of people now living who
have a personal ante-war experience, cannot
but compare the banking methods of the pres
ent day with those of 30 j ears ago, with credit
to the former. Wild-cat banking is almost a
lost art; and though there are a great mauy
more banks now than there were in the fifties
and the are distributed over a much wider ex
tent of territory, bank failures and swindles are
fewer in number, and bank credit is higher,
than in the das before the war. "To a certain
extent," remarked a bank officer yesteiday,
"the national bank system is responsible for
the improvement in bank methods and bank
morals. Wmlo too much confidence maybe
placed in the supervision of the national banks
by the Government, which is at best very im
perfect, still there can be no question that
many safeguards against reckless and dis
honest banking have been created by the na
tional law.
V V
A gentleman who returned yesterday even
ing from a business trip to Homestead, Brad
dock and McKeesport, reported a good busi
ness movement in each of those bustling
boroughs A great deal of interest is being
taken in real estate. Prices of outlying prop
erty at McKeesport are about equal to those in
the East End. Building is active all along the
line, and several hundred homes will bo
erected this year. Several important manu
facturing enterprises are in course of incuba
tion. A local lumber dealer expressed the opinion
yesterday that a famine is imminent in that
necessary article. Owinc to the absence of
snow logging has been impossible. Material
for the mills to work on is abont used up, with
a very poor prospect for receiving additional
supplies, while stocks at the chief distributing
points are quite low. The situation in Michi
gan is particularly discouraging.
Prices have already been advanced on some
descriptions of lumber, and a hardening all
round is quite probable. This will, no doubt,
increase the cost of houses built this season.
The Supremo Court of Georgia has just de
cided that a farmer living outside of a city who
sold therein wood cut from his land as he
cleared it for cultivation, and who was not car
rying on a wood business as snch, and had no
office or woodjardin or out of the city for the
purpose of dealing in wood, was not subject to
a business or license tax by the city upon his
vehicles carrying the wood thereto.
Tho surveyors for the Great Northern Rail
way aro reported to have made a discovery
which will revolutionize railway travel in the
Northwest. The discovery consists of a break
in the Rocky Mountains near Mary's Fork,
which opens the way into a rich and fertile
country, through wnich no road has over pene
trated. James J. Hill, President of the Great
Northern, is elated over the matter, and pro
poses to run a lino from Anaconda, Mont,
direct to San Francisco.
H. K. Porter i Co. arc shipping a novel little
locomotive, narrow gauge, to tho United States
of Colombia. This engine has four driving
wheels and a two-wheel rear truck, and instead
of a cab lias an open canopy to protect the engi
neer. It is to be used on a street railroad, and
will go round curves of only 30 feet radius. The
pulling noise of an ordinary engine is avoided
by using a noiseless exhaust.

Stock trading was brisk in tho forenoon yes

were 512 shares Increased stiongth was de
veloped throughout the entire list, nithoncor

Tho most notable exception to the upward
movement was Allegheny Heating Company,
which broke badly in tho afternoon, being bid
down to 104K against sales at 111) the day he

BANKS AND BANKERS.
A Conservative Policy in Anticipation ofn
Henyy Sprinc Trade.
Local Bankers are pursuing a conservative
policy in regard to making loans in anticipa
tion of a heavy demand upon them at the open

an expansion of business as will give employ
ment to all their funds.
There was only a moderate demand for ac
commodations jesterday with plenty of cash to
supply it, and rates steady and unchanged.
Checking and depositing wcro lighter than
usual, though good for the .season. The ex
change were 52.302,174 64, and the balances
5353.721 54.

Oil
ShovtlnK Recuperntivo Power & Big
Transaction Field Development!.
Oil opened jesterday at the closing figure of
the previous day. and which proved to be low
wator mark. The first transaction and the
largest for some time, was the sale of 50,000
barrels cash oil by N. W. Stephenson to Lyman
d. Harris at V2. The regular market then
sold up to 91. Pittsburg bought in the fore
noon and again just before the close, while
New York was selling. This caused a rally,
and the market closed steady. The extreme
range was: Opening, 92; highest, 94; lowest,
92; closing. 93
Messrs. Crawlord fc Hammeli have been
awarded the contract lor drilling the first well
or the Emsworth Cooperative Natural Gas
Company. Drilling will be started at once.
The Wood & Young well on tho Sambach
farm, in the Hundred-foot district, came in
fully up to expectations. The well closly ad
joins thellnndred-foot Oil Company's gusher,
and started flowing at the rate of 90 barrels an
hour, increasinc on this, however, to 100 barrels
an hour. The Hundred-foot Compan 'swell on
the Jacob Dam bach farm has also increased its
production to 120 barrels an hour in spite of the
coining in of the Wood & Young well, that was
expected to pull largely from it. The Lock
wood gusher has increased its output to nearly
1,000 barrels a day, the other two new arrivals
having no visible effect on it, althougii but a
short distance away. This is a big surprise to
oil men. as the three wells are so closely to
gether in the Cable pool, and it is astonishing
mac tnc7 snouia nave so mucn pnenomenal
outputs in iew of this fact.
The Gilbert Oil Company's Clapp No. 6, near
the northeastern corner of lot 169 in tho Shef
field field, reached the pay streak and started
flowing at the rato of ten barrels au hour,
which it is keeping up.
The Porter Oil Company has completed a
deal by which it transfers a Icasa on liO acres
of land in the West Virginia field, known as the
Fisher track, to G. II. Coast . Son, of Olean,
N. Y., lor 524.000. The lease on a 23 acre tract
was sold yesterday for 535,000. The Owens
well, three miles east of New Cumberland, is in
and flowing at the rate of 75 barrels a day.
Operations have been commenced on the test
wells at Goose Creek, Stillwell and Burning
Sprints. As all three points are on the oil belt,
but south of any previous developments It is
hoped to open up a new territory.
KENTDCK1 OIL TEEE1T0KY.
A Record of Twenty Yenrs Establishes Its
Lnstlne Chnrncter
The statement made by an oil expert to tho
effect tiiat the new Kentucky oil field ought
not to be expected to bo lasting owing to the
shallow character of the field, is regarded as
misleading by a representative of tho Carroll
Oil Company who has just returned from Ken
tucky. He says tho Adams well, in Barren. Ivy., has
beon producing oil for over 20 years at a depth
ofSOleet. Six of them aro now claimed to be
putting oat 20 barrels and ouo of them pro
duced more than 125,000 Darrels. This record
is said to be ahead of any that can be shown in
the deep territory of New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio. Ho asserts that within the next few
months tho trade will have to recognize tho
fact that Kentucky is to furnish as tho greatest
green oil field discovered since Bradford days.

BEADING THE LEADEE.
It Fnrnishes the Pick of Dnslness Dono In
Wnll Street Gliicngo Gas Tiust
tlio Weakest on
1 ho List.
New York, March oV-The stock markPt .to
day was a little more active, but this was en
tirely owing to the increased business in Read
ing, and that stock again lurnished about one
balf of tho entire business In listed shares. The
speculation showed no changes as far as the
general list is concerned, and dullness and
"agnation continue to be the only features,
lour stocks to-day monopolized all tho atten
tion and interest taken in the market, and with
but one exception all tho movements were in
those few.
The early dealings wero strengthenea by the
announcement of a further reduction on the
Bank of England's minimum rate of discount to
yi Per cent, and the prospects for rasy money
for some time to come were brightened. Later
In the dav, when the large offerings of bonds
were made, the bullish feeling increased. Head
ing was tho great feature of the day's opera
tions, but it was evident that this stock was re
ceiving support, and there was none of the
weakness of jesterday shown in the early trad
ing. In fact, a fractional improvement took
place, and it was not until the afternoon that
great pressuro was brought to bear upon tho
stock, and a decline from ZV-A to 35 was
brought about.
Tho final dealings, however, again developed
marked strength in it, and almost all of the
loss was recovered, the stock closing unchanged
from last evening's figure. The general opin
ion is that some one has unloaded a blocK of
the stock, hut it has been absorbed and some
covering of shorts done upon the decline.
I ho weak point in the list in the forenoon
was Chicago Gas Trust, which dropped away
sharply unon the receipt of the nensthat an
application bad been made to place the proper
ty in the hands of a receiver on the ground that
It w as an illegal corooratlon. The result of the
acompanying ram was a drop of 2Kper cent to
42. and only a small portion of this was after
ward regained. Louisville and Nashville was
pressed for salt, though there was no news of a
character to afTect the price received. The
sellers were principally the traders, who round
tho stock unprotected for the time bein" and
organized a raid upon it with the result of
dropping it down Ji per cent after a small ad
vance, but cen this loss was neutralized by
tho late advance, as in Reading.
Tennessee coal moved again in its psual
erratic way, and after openine down lc, at 56c,
it dropped to 55Kc. but in the late trading re
covered to 59c. closing Jc lower. Sujrar was
also quite erratic, but showed marked strength
on the whole and the declaration of the divi
dend in tae afternoon sent the stock up to 09
close to which figure it closed. The fluctua
tions among the rest or the list call for no com
ment whatever, and the market closed dull and
steady to firm at insignificant changes for tho
day. The advances are more numerous to
night, but the only one of importance was
sugar 1 per cent, while Chicago Gas is
dow n 15i.
Railioad bonds were more active and the
sales aggregated Sl,51S,0(iO, though tho onlv
feature of interest was tho weakness in tho
Reading issues, the 4's furnishing 5479,000 to
the total. Tho general list was dull and stag
nant The Post says: Thus far the improvement in
foreign affairs has had but slight effect on the
stock market, because it has for the time beine
oeen onset oytneaumous condition of affairs
among the Granger roads, the unfavorable con
dition of the coal trade, and the continued ap
prehension that there would sometime be a
heavy break in Reading. The situation among
the Granger roads, however, is certainly im
proving, as is shown by the largo increase in
both the gross and net earnings of the St. Paul.
Burlincton and Northwestern last reported,
and now it is reported from Chicago that
Chairman Walker has devised a plan for re
establishing the Inter-Stato Association on a
bxsls that will permit the Northwestern and
Union Pacific to maintain their alliance, and
yet remain in the association.
The apprehensions about anv pinch in tho
money market hero have also been relieved,
not only Dy the easier feeling, bat by the an
nounced policy of the United States Treasury
to buy bonds. Under these conditions tho gen
eral market for stocks would probably have ad
vanced jesterday but for the significant de
cline in Reading, which made it apparent that
some lar:e amounts of long stock were being
thrown overboard. Measured by the prices of
the securities w Inch come ahead of it, Reading
stock has been too high for the last vear, and is
too high e t. The position of this stock continual
ly invites attacks of the bears, and though they
may get pinched once in a while by overselling
it, their course has been justified by the decline
of 10 points in tho last year. This.inthe face
of the continued protestations of the support
ers of the stock that it was being artificially
depressed, has he'ped to unsettle confidence in
other properties, and is for to-day and the time
being one of the most effective obstacles to an
mprovement in prices.

Chicago Trading in wheat was of a re
stricted character to-day, and fluctuations at
the end of the session within narrow limits.
Changes, however, were of frequent occurrence
within the established range. Thero were
pretty fair offerings, but no large lines pressed
on sale, and there was pretty good buying.
New York was reported to have sold a fair
quantity in this market to-day. The market
opened at about closing figures of yesterday,
held firmly, advanced 4c then eased off
Jc, advanced JaKc, again ruled easier and
closed about Ha lower than j esterday.
Corn ruled quiet most of tho session, trading
being light and in the main local. The feeling
prevailing was very steady, and values did not
show any material changes from yesterday.
Market opened steady and advanced 'SM.c,
ruled firm and closed a shade higher than yes
terday. Oats were quiet and steady, with trading
mainly of a local character. The demand was
not urgent, offerings moderate and price
changes small.
Very little interest manifested in pork and
trading was exceedingly limited. Prices ruled
steady and unchanged.
Trading in lard was limited and credited to
local operators with no particular change to
note in prices.
Only a limited business done iu ribs and the
feeling was steady. Price3 were without ma
terial change.
