TOO EAGER TO SELL.
That is the Real Trouble With the
Iron Market at Present.
WHEN THE BOTTOM IS EEACHED
A Great Increase in Business is Terj Confi
dentljr Expected.
THE TE1DE AT TEE OTHER CENTERS
The drift of iron and steel is still down
ward, and we have to record lower prices
than prevailed a weet ago, when it was gen
erally thoncht that bottom had been
reached. Transactions have been very light,
the policy of consumers being the hand to
mouth policy in the present weak condition
of the markets. There is more inquiry for
iron and steel products this week than last,
but stranjje to say this has had the effect of
weakening market', as it brines those anxious
to unload into close competition.
There are more people anxious to sell than to
buy, and the flrst appearance of a buyer in the
market brines competitors for trade to the
front, who are readr to make concessions in
order to sell. Once it is certain that bottom is
reached, buying -nill be more free. Trices are
now lower than before last fall's advance, when
cost of material is considered. The cos: or
nroducing iron from lake ores is now from to
S3 SO more per ton than it was last summer.
Furnaces cannot now produce iron at a pront
if they have tn pay present prices for stock.

PEESSDKE TO SELL LESSENED.
The Easier Feeling in the Money Market an
Important Factor.
tSrXCIAI. TELIORAM TO TIIK STEFATCR.!
Philadelphia, April - A ractor of great
Importance in the iron market is the easier
feeling In the money market. Some of the
smaller iron manufacturers were obliged to
make forced sales of iron dunng the latter part
of the first quarter because banks refused to
renew loans. On the first of this monthjj
enormous disbursements for Interest and
dividends were made. creating an
easier tendency in the money market.
Money is more plentiful and rates are not
so stiff. Consequently holders of Iron are more
independent in their views, and the pressure to
sell is lessened. Furnaces generally are in full
blast. Ten furnaces of the Thomas Iron Com
pany are in blast, and one is idle for repairs.
Southern furnacemen who threatened to de
moralize the market have found their products
in such good demand, chiefly in the West, that
they have advanced prices from SO to 75c per
ton. The industry in the South is making an
other strike which will tend to prevont extensive
shipments of Dig iron from the Booth into the
Eastern markets by affording the Southern
furnacemen a home market. Rolling mills
which will consume the product of the fur
naces and small facto'ies which, in turn, will
utilize the output of the mills, are springing np
in the South. A plate rolling mill to cost 100,
000, and with a capacity of 20 tons per day. is
projected for Roanoke, Va. Creditors of the
insolvent Robbins Iron Works, whose mills in
this city were sold some time ago, have ac
cepted and been paid 25 cents on the dollar as
settlement in fnll for their claims.
There is more activity noted in the general
market, and new orders are being placed on
about the same basis that business was ac
cepted before JanuarrL While some compa
nies are still quoting f20 for No. 1 foundry iron,
f 19 for .No. 2 and S18 for gray forge, delivered
at tide water shipping points.'others are" ac
cepting business at ?1 under" 'those figures.
Bessemer iron rules quiet at S2020 50 per ton
at the furnace, holders not being anxious to
sell. Steel rails are in good demand in the
West, the prospecthe advance in freight
rates to take effect May 1 stimulating
inquiries from a distance. The price is
firm at $34 50 at the works. Billets are
held at S31 per ton delivered. Blooms are worth
5253 for hot blast charcoal, $51655 for cold
blast, delivered, and SHQ15 for run out anthra
cite. Activity is expectud in bar iron at L9
1.95c perponnd. Muck bars are weak and
lower at S2929 50 per ton at the mill. SkelD is
moving in sn.all lots at L651.90c delivered for
grooved, 2.05Z15c for sheared, Plates are in
moderate request at the following prices tor

THE EiPID DECLINE
Has Some Features Which Promise Good
Thine, tor the Future.
rsrlCIAL TELEOhAM TO THE MEPATCH.l
Cincinnati, April 1 Rogers, Brown 4 Co.
say: The rapidity with which prices of South
ern iron have gone down to bard pan has never
before been witnessed in this market. There
arc many who think this is better for the trade
than it ould have been had the decline lasted
through many months. The situation differs
materially from what it was in previous ) ears
when equally low figures have ruled.
Consumption is now very much heavier
and forelcn importatlbns have stopped. Gen
eral business is promising, the railroads are
prosperous, iron is finding its way into many
new uses, and there is no prospect of foreign
iron coming this nay in any quantity for a long
time to come. The low prices will slowly cur
tail production bybloning out furnaces,and will
delay or kill off most of the new furnace pro
jects. The conditions, therefore, seem healthy and
favorable to an early reaction. A good many
large buyers are taking this view of it and are
now testing the market. Inquiries in the ag
cregate are neavier than any time since No
vember last. There is some hesitation by
consumers in closing up large contracts, but
large orders are nevertheless being placed. The
very minute the trade is convinced that the
bottom has been reached there will be the
largest buying; movement that has yet
been witnessed. It is remembered,
however, that the fortunate buvers
who get in at the very bottom
are about as rare as the wise sellers, who sell at
the top. The rank and file of western buyers
generally adhere to the theory of further de
cline until they see an advance in the market.
The exceptional pri;M of a week or two ago
are now general. Southern No. 2 selling at S15,
No. 3 loundry at 14 50 and cray forge at S14. at
CmcmnatLand in some large deals these figures
are shaded slightly. There is but little change
in charcoal imns and softeners. There cannot
be much without causing many furnaces to
blow out.

Bt. Louis. April 4. Rogers, Brown &
Meaebam say: Business during the week has
been more active, and a fair amount of sales
have been effected at close figures. Some in
quiries for round lots were met by very low
prices on certain grades, but they also
elicited the tact that there is but little
accumulation of stocks in the South and no
disposition to sell far ahead on basis of present
values. Several Southern furnaces advise that
for the present they are out of the market
Ohio softeners are firm, while in charcoal irons
the week's operations have been too limited to
reveal any change. We quote for cash, f. o. b.

A Necessity te Realize.
'iSrXCIAL TELXOBAH TO TBI SISFATCn.1
Chicago, April 4. Rogers, Brown fc Co.
says: Chicago is often termed the dumping
I ground for all the iron districts In the country
at a time of low prices. The present situation
seems to justify the theory. The quantity of
iron offered is not large, but certain prices that
have been uotcd on Southern irons are only
explained on the thorv of necessity to realize.
Southern No. 2 'foundry has been
offered at $10 In largo deal? and other
grades in proportion. Such figures have
tempted large buyers to anticipate the time 01
their recular buying, and heavy inquiries are
now out for iron. Some leading sellers are
nrmer than they were, and do not care to com
pete for the lowest priced business. Lakc bu"
perior charcoal iron is obtainable at $21 50 cash.

THEY POUND A SITE.
Eastern Capltn lists to Erect nn Ice Plant In
Allrsbeny City A Hundred Thousand
Involved Renl Estnie Gel
tine Sreond Wind.
Various rumors have been in circulation the
past few days in regard to the erection of a
large artificial ice plant in Allegheny City.
The first definite information bearing on this
enterprise it as obtained jesterdav. The pro
motors are Eastern men. A short time ago
they placed an order with Samuel W. Black A
Co. lor a site for the plant A member of that
firm stated yesterday that they had sold a lot
to the Eastern men for $20,000. It is located on
the corner of South avenne and Sturgeon
street, and has a frontage of 100 feet by 200.
The company will at once proceed with the
erection of suitable buildings, and expect to be
in operation in time to assist in mitigating the
anticipated ice famine. The comcleted plant
will cost very nearly or quite $100,000.
Talk amonc the stock brokers yesterday was
rather bullish. They held that money being
plentiful, and no apprehensions of a squeeze,
business must necessarily Improve, and this
will insure better prices. Thfl disposition to
speculate is as pronounced as ever, but more
caution is observed on the part of investors
particularly those in Pittsburg. They want to
know all about a property before taking hold
of it Pittsburg securities have been sub
jected to this severe test and no flaw found in
them.
There were a few office sales of one or two of
the favorites, in some cases at slightly higher
figures than those rulinc on 'Change. Phila
delphia Gas was in most request and there was
quite a still hnnt for it to fill orders. This
stock has been admirably managed always
pnt on the market at the right time and in the
right quantity to afford it reasonable support
and its fluctuations, though narrow, have been
frequent enough to make it an object to spec
ulators. A stock that never varies may be good
enough, but there is no money in it for the
broker.
Pleasant "Valley and Pittsburg. Allegheny
and Manchester Railways being In a state of
transition as regards consolidation and motive
power of the latter, do not show at their best
although both of them are among the strong
features of the market No one doubts that
when their affairs are adjusted, and all friction
removed, tbev will show big earnings and
take front rank in popularity, but at present
both buyers and sellers of the stock occupy a
neutral position, or are in a waiting mood with
the apparent advantage on the side of the
holders, whose confidence is seen in their re
fusal to make concessions. Occasional frac
tional depressions occur, but they are not of
sufficient importance to establish quotations or
affect the market standing of the stock.
The tractions are under a cloud from which
it seems very difficult to rescue them. Still
the stock is well supported and manages to
hold its own. Earnings are large, but expenses
are heavy, leavingvery little, or nothing for
dividends. The principal trouble seems to be
fear of excessive competition, which will force
some of them to the wall; and no material
improvement should be expected until this
doubt is settled. The population of the city is
increasing so rapidly that there will soon be
business enough for all.
April changes having been about completed,
and the prospect for a continuance of good
weather being favorable, increased activity in
the real estate market is among the probabili
ties of the near future. All signs are pointing
that way. It should not be inferred from this
that the market has been dull or sluggish, for
the reverse of this is the fact The activity in
this great local interest during the winter was
remarkable, and the number and importance of
transactions exceeded by at least 60 per cent
those of any similar period in the history of the
city. But a large amount of business was de
ferred on account of bad roads and other
causes, and this will now be taken up and car
ried through.
Several new districts will be opened up this
spring, and a large number of cheap lots put on
the market This will induce the norking peo
ple to invest and build. From data at band, a
prominent builder estimates that at least 5,000
houses will be put up between now and next
December. This will be a handsome gain over
last year.
Money kings, so called, are the most envied
of men. It is the ponular belief that they ac
quired their wealth by accident or -luck," and
pass their time like butterflies, going from
pleasure to pleasure as one palls and another
attracts. So tar as Pittsburg money kings are
concerned this estimate is as far from the
truth as possible. One of them while getting a
check cashed at a Fourth avenue bank the
other day remarked: "1 have all the money I
need, and about as much as I want, but I earned
it all. When I started out for myself I bad
nothing but my brains and muscle to depend on.
I had hard sledding at first I lived In two rooms
and ate the coarsest food. Sometimes it was as
much as 1 could do to make both ends meet.
I have passed many a sleepless night studying
how to get money to pay rent and satisfy the
grocer. But I stuck to it and finally worked
my way up.
"But even now I am not free from anxiety.
Investments are liable to go wrong. A cyclone
or a conflagration might ruin me. Besides, I
feel that a great responsibility is resting on me
as to the disposition I am making and will
make of my money. I want to do good with it
but don't know just how to go about it Money
is a good thing to have, but it seldom brings
happiness with it My experience leads me to
conclude that a man in comfortable circum
stances, with enough to live on and something
to spare, is the only real king in this world."
It's an ill wind that Mows nobody good. The
open winter, the lack of snow and the short loz
crop in Pennsylvania and the northwest havo
increased the demand for Southern lumber to
a point never before attained. Mr. George
Thomas, of Raleigh, N. C. who is largely in
terested in the lumber business in that State,
was in Pittsburg yesterday. He said the
threatened scarcity of the Northern product
had already resulted in the placing of a large
number of orders for Southern pine and pop
lar from Northern markets never before open
to the South.
He thought this trade would be permanent
as the quality of Southern lumber was such
that once introduced, it would hold its own in
competition with any other. A large quantity
ot It will be used by Pittsburg builders this
year.

Good Tegetnbles and Cholco Menu for
the Sunday Dinner Little Ctinnse
in Pricea Florist Un
usually Busy.
There are few new developments in the Una
of the kitchen market trade since our report
last Saturday. At the fruit and vegetable
stalls there Mas some improvement reported
over last week with no material change in
prices. The choicest vegetables are offered at
more reasonable rates than is customary at this
time of the year. Creamery butter and eggs
are, in a jobbing way, lower than they were
last Saturday, but not sufficiently lower to
make an impression on retail markets.
Florists report a very lively Easter trade.
There has never been a finer display in this
line and demand was never better. One florist
reports an order from Kentucky for Easter
decorations.
The churches in this vicinity are now the
exception which do not get up some extra
floral doings on the anniversary of the Resur
rection. About the busiest people in trade
lines to-aay are the norists.

THE MISTEEIES OP MASONRY.
A Curious Case Reported in a History of
the United Mates.
The mvsteries of Masonry have always
been carefully guarded. Cassell's "History
of the United States" contains the follow,
ing: In 1826, William Morgan, living at
Batavia, Genessee county, N. Y conceived
a dislike for the Masonic organization, and
knowing something about the organization,
announced his intention of publishing a
book which should disclose what he called
the secrets of Freemasonry. On Monday,
September 11, this man was taken from his
home, under pretense of a criminal process,
Sagged, bound, and forced into a carriage,
which was rapidly driven off. In this way
he was conveyed a hundred miles without
interruption, and, as relays of horses were
prepared along the whole line of road, it
was evident that his abduction was the re
sult of an organized scheme.
It came out in subsequent inquiries that
Morgan was carried toward the Canadian
frontier, where he was lodged within the
walls of an unoccupied fort, "What ulti
mately becameoT bim has never been clearly
known. It is supposed that he was taken in
a boat at night to the Niagara, and there
dronned. A body, thought to be that of
.Morgan, was subsequently found below Fort
Niagara; but it was impossible to identify
it, and, notwithstanding that the Legisla
ture of New York passed an act ordering a
strict investigation of the subject, and that
Freemasons were charged with murder, a
conviction could not be obtained.
Olli TANKS FOE PERU.
A Plttabure Order Gained by the rnn-Amcr-cnns'
Visit Here.
The firm of Eittr & Conlcy has secured
an order from Peru in direct consequence of
the recent visit of the Fan-Americans to
Pittsburg. The work was done and the
goods shipped to Peru yesterday, via New
York City. There are in the order two 20,
000 barrel tanks, each 77 feet in diameter,
two 10,000 barrel tanks and two 5,000 barrel
tanks.
The tonnage was between 250 and 300 tons,
and the fact that Peru has oil interests of
snch magnitude as to demand 70,000 barrels
storage capacity is considered ot great in
terest. JSYEN CHICORY ADULTERATED.
The Stuff That Spoils Our Coilee ! Two.
Thirds Beet Root.
Any person talking of lood adulteration
will mention chicory as being added to
coffee, and, without knowing anything
about chicory, denounce it as something
cheap and nasty. But few people know
chicory in itself has been much adulterated
in Germany. An investigation led to the
discovery that the larger bulk of the chicory
coming from Germany is made from beet
root, dried and burnt or roasted. The
mixture generally contains one-third genu
ine chicory to two-thirds beet root.

Absolute Proof of Success
Is the fact that the hundreds of testimonials
of cures made by the specialists of the Catarrh
and Dyspepsia Institute at No. 323 Penn ave
nue, and which have been published in this
paper, have not only contained the residence
but the full name AS SIGNED BY THE PA
TIENT, thus proving their genuineness. To
say that a physician can cure a disease is one
thins:, and to prove that be has cured it is an
other. It they have the means to cure tho dis
eases of their specialty and thus prove this
fact by referring you to hundreds whom they
have cured in your own city and at your own
door, what better evidence can they give? The
physicians of tbis institution are specialists in
the true sense of the term, as no patients are
received for treatment except those suffering
from catarrh, dyspepsia or diseases of women.
MORE SHARPSBURG TESTIMONY.
Tho above is a portrait of Miss Mary F. Hart
man, of Sharpsburg. and a sister of Mr. John
Hartman, whose portrait and testimonial re
cently appeared in these columns. Miss Hart,
man has also suffered from catarrh, and the
symptoms were a dropping of mucus from her
head into her throat, where it became very
tenacious and hard to raise. She coughed, and
often felt dizzy. Her stomach became very
weak, so that she felt sick after eating, and
would often vomit up her food. She was con
tinually tired and fully realized tnat she was
gradually getting weaker. After taking a
course of treatment from these specialists she
says: "Itglves me pleasure to state that I have
been cured of catarrh.

PAST Ml) PRESENT.
A Brief Resume of the Wonderful
Work Accomolished by Drs.
CoDeland & Blair.
MR, CHRISTIAN'S STATEMENT.
During the past year readers of The Dis
patch have doubtless noticed the state
ments of different person's who have been
cured of their catarrhal troubles by Drs.
Copeland & BlaV. A new one appears
each week, and the interviews are given as
stated by the patients themselves, accompa
nied by a cut of the party and his or her ad
dress, so that they can be readily verified.
So marked has been their success that other
parties have unsuccessfully attempted to imi
tate, not only their method of practice, but
also their mode of advertising.
No higher compliment could be paid Drs.
Copeland & Blair than this miniature
mimicry. That the public has long since ascer
tained thaf'they are the people"to successfully
treat catarrh and all its numerous complica
tions, can be easily proven by a visit to their
handsome oflices, 60 Sixth avenue, where dur
ins office hours the receptio rooms are always
full of ncrsons waiting to consult Dr. Copeland,
who is personally in charge of bis extensive
practice.
ME. CHBISTMAN'S STATEMENT.
The individual statement to whicb the atten
tion of the public is called this week, is that of
Mr. Louis Christman. His home is in Steuben-
ville, 6., but he is at present residing in the
section of this city known as Lawrenceville, on
the corner of Thirty-sixth and Charlotte streets.
To the writer Mr. Christman said:
Mr, Louis Chrittman, Thlrty-tixth it, Law
renceville. "My trouble dates back to last October, when
I fell and broke two ribs. I never fully recov
ered from my fall, and during the Illness at
tending it I contracted a catarrhal trouble in
addition to my other injury. My head ad nose
stopped up. My eyes were weak and watery.
There were roaring and buzzing noises in my
ears. I bad a dull, heavy pain in my forehead,
could feel the mucus dropping back into my
throat. I coughed and raised constantly.
Sharp pains would shoot through my chest.
Palpitation of the heart set in, followed by
slow, irregular breathing, and a feeling of faint
ness. I wonld arise in the morning more tired
than when I went to bed. I had no appetite.
There was a nauseating sensation in my stom
ach after eating. 1 became weaker and weaker,
until the slightest exertion tired me.
I tried various physicians and different reme
dies, but obtained no relief. After reading of
the wonderful success or Drs. Copeland Blair
with similar cases, I called on them. Finding
their charges lower even than patent medi
cines. I began treatment. I soon beean to feel
an improvement, and now all the symptoms
have disappeared. I am satisfied that I am
once more in perfect health."
Mr. Lonis Christman can be seen at either
of the above mentioned places, and this inter
view readily venfled-
HOME TREATMENT.
Jacob Altmeyer, of RIsber, opposite McKees
port. Pa., states: "I commenced treatment for
my catarrhal tronble with Drs. Copeland fc
Blair on June 29, 1839. I now feel like a differ
ent man,, and shall be pleased to state my case
and recommend their treatment to anyone ad
dressing me."
Mr. William Barnes, of Hickman. Pa., was
afflicted with catarrh, and had lost all sense of
taste and smell. He was under the care of
Drs. Copeland & Blair, and now states: "I am
perfectly well, and owe my recovery to their
treatment."
Mr. Harry Phillips, of Hulton, Pa., has this
to say of his successful treatment for catarrh
with Drs. Copeland & Blair: "I was in very bad
shape, but now feel like a different being, and
as well as I ever did in my life."
