THE HTTSBTJEa DISPATCH, FRIDAY. APRIL 25, 1890. SHARP COMPETITION For Desirable Orders Keeps Down the Figures on Piff Iron. STEEL RAILS YET KEMAIN FIRM. The Markets Abroad ire in a Decidedly Un settled Condition. KO CHAKGE IX THE COKE SITUATION SPCJilTELEOnAM TO TUX DISrATCTT.t New York, April 24. The Iron Age re port of the market is as follows : American Pig Sales are on a moderate scale in the territory tributary to this mar ket, buyers taking only small lots. Desira ble orders are sharply competed for, particu larly by Southern furnaces. The supply of No. 1 from the latter is very moderate, how ever, while, on the other hand, Northern Jurnaces have a moderate accumulation of that grade. At least one of the large South ern furnace companies has practically with drawn from the market, but others are still seeking business quite eagerly. On moderate lou the quotations for Southern Iron are on tbe basis ot 17017 SO for No. 1 foundry and $16 25 16 50 for No. 2 foundry. For largo and desira ble orders, however, sellers acknowledge that 16 50 for So. 1 aDd S1616 25 would be ac cepted. Northern furnaces quote No. 1 foundry from SIS to J19. and for No. 2 J17ffll8. Spiegeleisen and Ferro Manganese During the week an Eastern rail null has purchased 5.000 tons of 20 per cent English sniegeleisen at $31 50 for delivery after July. Another order for 7,000 tons has also been booked. This price is regarded as low by importers since it is con sidered Impo-sible at the quotations abroad. . ruling at present, to lay down the Spiegel for early delivery at less than $32 00 or 32 50. The situation in manganif erous material is regarded as differing in some material points from that acknowledged to prevail in the general trade. The demand for this class of material all over the world has increased very rapidly, so as to outstrip the supply of good ore. Durinc the past six months the scarcity of ore has led to the placing on the market of a good deal of ore poor in quality. The result has been that there has been a good deal off-colorspiegel made, and that rejections have been very heavy. Tho qualitv of spiegeleisen needs very careful matching, anu bargains may prove dangerous. Fcrro manganese is weak. Future delivery v may ne quoted $79 O0S0 00: and early delivery, S2S0i30Q. Billets The market is quiet so far as large transactions are concerned. There are a good manv inquiries for small lots, however. We continue to ouote the market 30 503l 00 at Eastern mills,'but it should be added that some of the leading mills are not ready to meet such prices. They are, however, on a parity with the quotations made in tbe West Wire Rods The market is very quiet. Hales are roported from Pittsburg at Hi. which is equivalent to $41 60 at tidewater. Steel ltails Transactions in this market have been limited in quantity, tbe largest sale re ported being one lot of 5,000 tons to a road in Alabama at private terms. The market con tinues weak, but considering the drop in other lines, notably in Bessemer pig iron and in steel billets In tbe West, rails bae keDt up remark ably welL This is partly attributed to the fact that in the lines named speculative lou have been thrown overboard, demoralizing the mar ket, while in rails that has not been tbe case. It is true also that the pressure to sell among rail makers has not been general by any means. On tbe whole the mills are com fortably off for orders, some of them being in a particularly good condition so far as their order books are concerned. There is little probability of a further decline in raw material in tbe West, unless tbe ore ininjng companies accede to the demands now being made oy some ot the mills in the Wheel ing district that the price on contracts on which delivery is now to begin be adjusted to meet the changed conditions of tbe soft steel trade. In tbe West there are rumors of the placing of an order for 40,000 tons for a new road on the Pacific coast. We quote steel rails at Eastern mills $33 00S33 so, alt'iougn some of the sellers are firm at higher prices than these. Old Rails The sale is reported of a lot ot J.O00 tons of tees at private terms. The market continues Tery dull at nominally 23 5021 00. IttREGUfiAU IK0.V MAEKLTS, AVIth Speculation on n Larger Scale, the illnln Fcnlarealn England. rSrECIAt. TELEOBAM TO Till DISPATCH.! New York. April 24. Tbe Iron Age prints the following special cable xrom London: The market for pig iron has continued irreg ular, but speculative operations have been on a rather larger scale. Cleveland warrants have fallen to a level with Scotch again. Both sold Tuesday at 40s 6d, reacting to 45s 3d and 45s Id re spectively, at the close. Hematites dropped to 53s 7d in the face of reports that another meeting of West Coast smelters has been held at which it was agreed to damp more furnaces, and despite the fact that shipments are large and stocks decreasing under the influence of the same ana reduced make, confidence seems to be entirely absent as a matter of fact and little interest Is manifested except on the part of sellers operating on tbe "bear" side. Tbcro was business to-day at 44s Sd for Scotch, 41s 7d for Cleveland and 53s 6d for Hematites. Makers' prices are again lower all along tbe line, and reduced quota tions arc given also on old material and nearly all descriptions of steel. Tbe tin plate market has continued very much depressed. Makers have lreely quoted 13s 9d for ordinary cokes, and buyers only offer 12s 9d for large lots. Only a portion of the mills are running, but unless buying improves many will soou hate to be worked on plates for stock or stop running altogether. Operations have been resumed in five mills of the Aberrarne works. For block tin there has been a better sneculative demand based chieflv upon belief that shipments from the East will be smaller. Easier money rates also contribntcd to freer operations. Prices have shown 2 7s (Sd advance from tbe lowest point of last week. Tuesday's operations showed less active interest on the part of buyers, and prices receded to 99 5s at the close for spot. To-day the market was barely steadv, with business at 90 2s. Cd. Copper warrants are be coming scarcer as the trench stock are still held firinly for 50. Other sellers have offered more freely at Intervals bnt there is little out side speculative demand. The India demand, which has laid dormant for a long while, is be ginning to revive somewhat, and there is at present a fair business in that direction. Re cent transactions in furnace material include a total of 2,250 tons anaconda argentiferous matte on private terms and 195 tons Montana matte at 10s. to arrive. The Rio Tinto Com pany has declared a dividend of 10s. per share and carried forward 152,000. The company's business in refined manufactured productions was reported as moderate. In Liverpool it is rumored that tbe heavy decline in prices for iron and steel has caused such serious losses to merchants and manufacturers that several firms will probably have to go the wall. The Wednesfield Galvanized Iron Company have ceased work owing to financial difficulties. Joseoh Bnll fc Son. North Staffordshire, it is reported, are unable to carry out their con tracts and a private meeting of creditors has been called. It is also announced that a Shef field iron and coke merchant is in difficulties and found it necessary to confer with his creditors. American Manufacturer's Cable Quotations.

Rnmori oflncrensed Order Not Verlfled by I bo Fncn The Quotations on tbe Dif ferent Crudes. ISrEClAU TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 Scottdalk, April 21 The demand for coke has improved very little and the prevailing features are about the same as a fortnight ago. While rumors have arisen of increased orders they are invariably denied. A comparison of last week's coke shipments with the previous week's shows a very creditable increase, how ever, and the cause is a mystery. The restric tion policy was used with the same vigor, if not a little more, last week than has characterized the trade for several weeks past. Over 1.200 ovens were blown our, and that alone shonld have been sufficient to incur a considerable curtailment in shipments. It is now predicted that if the aspect of trade is changed at all In the next few weeks it will be for the better. This is a rather dull season of the year, and the period is shortly forthcoming wben the coke trade will again blossom. Four and five days was the rule in the region last week, although quite a number of operators succeeded in making six days. Some of the operators thus fortunate were Ra'.ney, the Cambria Iron Company, the Stewart Iron Company, the Percy Min ing Comnany and Laughlin. On ac count of the scarcity of orders the Frick and McClnre companies shut down 563 ovens in the region yesterday. Tbey are 'distributed as follows: Twenty-two at Henry Clav. 30 at Oliphant, 200 at LeisenringNo. 2,90 at Mammoth, 41 at Vallev, 41 at Foundry. 6 at Diamond, 7 at Uniou. 25 at Donnelly, 70 at Bessemer, and 22 at Mayfield. This increases tbe number of idle ovens to something over 3.000, This number will be f nrther increased by the shutting down of tbe entire Lemont plant on next Saturday. It consists of 100 ovens. Last week 6, ISO cars of coke were sent out,or counting IS tons to the car, 116,610 tons. Shipments were distributed to tbe various points of consump tion as follows: To points west of Pittsburg, 3,150 cars: to Pittsburg and river points, L5S0 cars: to points east of Pittsburg, 1,500 cars. The previous week's shipments were consigned as follows: To points west of Pittsbtirg.3,200 cars; to Pittsburg ana river points, 1,550 cars; to points east of Pittsbnrg, 1,425 cars. Shipments for last week compared with the previous week increased to Western points, 250 cars; to Pitts burg, a decrease of 20 cars, and to Eastern points an increase of 75 cars. Four days per week will be the rule in tbe region this week. Tbe strike of 500 men is still on at the Morrell and Wheeler works. The Pennsville Company have shut down 20 per cent of their plant of 92 ovens. The 170 ovens are still idle at Standard. Prices will be kept above the $2 mark. Thev arc: Furnace coke, 2 15; foundry, $2 45; crushed, $2 65.

Rlnnnfactnrers Tnlk EnconrnBlnEly of the Uutinean Ootlook Manufacturers of rolls and pinions report a very active trade for tho time of the year, with a promising outlook for the future, A repre sentative of the Phcenix Roll Works in an in terview to-day said: "I fully expected a few weeks ago that orders would slacken up by this time on account of depression in the iron in dustry. This fear has proved a groundless one. Demand is as good as ever, and our products are going out to the extent of a daily average of 30 tons. We are now finishing up some rolls which will weigh 26 to 27 tons each. Railroads demand much heavier rails than tbey did a few years aso on account of increased weight of engines, and hence heavier rolls are required. -Prices of chilled rolls were advanced Jc a pound when iron went up last fall, but at the advance profits are very much less than tbey were a few years ago. We make up for small profits by the increased volume of trade." Wool Mnrkei. ST. Louis Receipts 71.425 pounds. Demand good for desirable bright medium. Prices steady. Fkee.

Tact and Gossip Showing That Some thing is Doing in Real Estate. GOBBLED BY A KEWSPAPER MAN. One of the Greatest Needs of Pittsburg Eeginnimr to be Supplied. GOOD WORDS FOR OLD TIEGINIA Mr. Albert Barr has bought 100 feet or more on Barton street, near Fifth avenue, at a price approximating 5100 a foot front, or 510,000 for the whole, upon which he will at once begin the erection of a fine residence. It is understood that another newspaper man is engineering a $25,000 deal in the same neighborhood. Ira M. Burchfield: "Your remarks about activity in real estate at Hazelwood are not exaggerated. I have myself sold over 540, 000 worth of property up there in the last six weeks. Cheap car fare is doing great things for that locality. No movement, however, no matter in what direction, can lessen public interest in East End properties. That section has the bulge and is bound to hold it," One of the great needs of the city, as has neen remarked on numerous occasions, is a greater number of tenement houses. This scarcity, ?hich has been felt for several years, has nude rents high, and injured the city. But it Is a pleasure to note that this drawback is be ing overcome, as owners are beginning to erect houses to rent instead of to sclL On this subject a member of the firm of W. A. Herron fc Sons said yesterday: "We have bad many such houses put in our hands for rent within the last few months houses simi lar to those advertised by us in The Dispatch. This cannot be otherwise than beneficial to the city, and prove a paying investment to the owners. Good homes are as essential to tbe prosperity of tho city as good business houses." Mr. James W. Drape, who, with his wife, had been making a visit to the famous springs and other points of interest in Virginia, returned horns yesterday morning, feeling much the better for bis trip. He is again at his desk. During his absence Mr. Drape inspected closely many of the large landed interests of the Old Dominion, and was impressed very favorably with several places as affording special induce ments for investment. He believes there is a splendid future for Virginia farmers, and pre dicts that thoe who step in now and secure bodies of land, whether for farming or mineral enterprises, will reap a much more satisfactory and quicker return than from Western invest ments. Land can be bought anywhere from f 10 to S125 an acre. The towns, as a general thing, are making rapid strides in business and population. Mr. Drape summarized his impressions in one brief sentence, fnll of meaning: "Virginia is under going a business revolution." STILL MIXED. Gains and Lonncs In I.ocnl Stock Threo Daily Calls Hereafter. The stock market presented abont the same feature yesterday as on the previous dav, some things being strong and others weak. For the specialties there were more buyers than sellers. The sales were 90 shares, of which SO were Pleasant Valley. Bridgewater Gas was bid up to 45 in the afternoon; it was offered at 75 a difference ot $38. Some sanguine holders thought the stock would reach that figure on the present whirl. Conservative brokers said nothing but shook their heads. Washington Oil, Luster and New York and Cleveland Gas Coal also scored advances. The offerings were light, indicating confidence, in a further upward movement. Manufacturers' Gas was offered at 25. Fractional concessions were submitted to in Philadelphia Gas, Central and Pittsburg Trac tion, Pleasant Valley, Wcstinghoase Electric, Switch and Signal and Grocers' Supply Coin- Eauy. Wheeling Gas. Airbrake, La Noria, ank and insurance stocks were steady and un changed.

Great Bore In More Sense Thnn One to the Morion Improvement Compnnr. For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain potroleum operators are peculiar, some times. The Marion Improvement Company's membors all live in this city and Allegheny, and they are bordering on a state ot disgust at the Ill-success that has attended their opera tions in Marion county, W. Va. The company has 3,080 acres on which it has been boring a test well so long that tho mere thought of it has become a bore. It was started at a diam eter of ten inches, and it is the intention to have close on to a six-Inch hole clear to the bottom 3,000 feet if necessary to go so far. The company also has a charter for a pipeline to carry its product to the B. & O. R. R. Mr. C. Kim bcrland says it begins to look as though they were voodooed. Thirty-four days ago yester day thev were down a certain depth, some where between 1,200 and 2,000 feet. They had several fishing jobs previously, but were then congratulating themselves that the tide ap peared to have turned. Since then, however, the progress, according to the best advices ob tainable, has been four inches and yesterday the contractor was in the city and reported that tbey bad dropped a wire rope into the well and had come for some kind of a tool to use in fishing for it. Marion county is a continuation of tbe Mt. Morris field, and It is said that Hukill has 22 wells bored in it, not far from the territory of tbe Marion Improvement Company's tract. They are all supposed to contain oil in paying quautities, but are plugged. One is said to havokroken loose and put out 600 barrels be fore the flow could be checked. Some people think Mr. Hukill may have some kind of a deal whh the Standard Oil Company by which territory is merely tested and then shut in, and some other people are inclined .o think that in some occult way the troubles of tbe Marion Improvement Company are connected there with. DP AND DOWN. Oil Breaks on a Runior bnt Recovers Most of the Loss There was considerable activity as well as strength in the oil market yesterday. It opened at 83o and sold right up to 85c. This was fol lowed by a break to 82c, due to realizing on the advance. Oil City and Bradford were the principal buyers. Pittsburg sold on reports that the Keating weli'was showing up in great shape. This was afterward denied, and the market rallied to 84Kc, where it stood at the close and steady. Principal fluctuations were: Opening 83c, highest 85c lowest 82, closing S4Jc Ihe Mack well, in the Washington field, which caused so much litigation on account of being located in the borough, and caused one owner to commit suicide, and the other to be came bankrupt, has been drilled through all tbe loner sand and has sustained its unlucky record to tbe last, being almost completely dry. Barnhartd: Hoch's No. 1 on the William D.-imbach farm in tbe Hundred-foot district, is through the sand and dry, and Young Bros.' No. 3 on the C. E. Shannon farm has reached tbo sand, but with no show of oil. In tbe Mt. Morris field Skinner fc Co.'s well on the Price farm, west of the Leniley, is pro ducing lOu barrels a day as the result of drilling in it, E. M. Hukill's Wise No. L which came in a few months ago at 800 barrels a day, is now doing 170 barrels. Tho well has produced 60,000 barrels since it came in. Operations are spreading in the vicinity of Cameron, W. Va. Tho Cameron Oil Company's venture on the Dorsey farm, an important one, is down a little over 2,000 feet, and the Gordon sand is looked for at 2,700 feet. At Eureka, Barnsdale & Boyle's No. 1 on tbe Corbett farm is in at 25 barrels a day, and their No. 2 on the same farm is showing lor about a like figure. Barnsdale Moore's No. 9 on the Cochran farm is showing np good. It has filled up 700 feet with oil. The Beason well, southwest of Eureka, is in the sand and boarded up as a mystery for some reason. The Citizens' Oil and Gas Company's No. 2 in the Washmgtun field is drilling 20 feet in the Gantz sand, and has filled up 1,400 feet with oil. The Keating well referred to above is in the Westview field. It is about 100 yards below tho Keating road house on the side of the hill, and perhaps a furlong or more from the original Ivory well. It started spudding the latter part of March, and has gone down rapidly and with scarce a mishap to delay Its progress. After spraying to tbe top of the derrick it was closed down for tank connections. Some think itwill prove to be the best well in that territory. Deep Wells, but No Oil. pjrZCIAt, TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. Bradford. April 24. The McGinty test well on the premises of William Brodbead Jt Sons, Jamestown, N, Y., has been abandoned, the drill having penetrated the earth to a depth of 8,263 feet without any indications of oil. A carefnl record has been kept or tbe well. Oil men say the Trenton rock, where oil and gas are found in Ohio, is here 4,300 feet below tbe surface, or.1,000 to 1,200 feet below tho Niagara limestone, In which the drill now is. Enter prising citizens may conclude to push the drill further down in nopes of finding something valuable. Features of Yesterday's Oil Market Corrected daily by John M.

STOCKS MORE" ACTIVE. The Silver Discussion RInkes Some Lively Times Bearish Report From Ihe ffoil Totnlly Incorrccl Fnctor In tbo General Advnuce In Price. New York, April 24. The stock market to-day showed a broadening and stronger tone, with the result of advancing prices materially all over the list. The news of tbe agreement in tbe Republican caucus last night on a silver bill which will combine the unobjectionable features of both tbe Senate and tbe House bills, started tbe boom in stock values which received a temporary setback from the uncer tainty as to the final result ot the Congressional deliberations npon that subject. The bears bought heavily to cover their shorts in the ranges of Missouri Pacific and other stocks, while the bulls showed renewed courage and the buying for the long account was more im portant than any day since the last rise began. Together with this there was a marked dlsposi tion shown by the foreigners to again invest in our securities. Cable orders to buy at the mar ket were received in all the leading favorites. In the market to-day the coal stocks were es pecially conspicuous, and Delaware and Hud son led the upward movement, making tho largest net advance for the day, although a spurt in Oregon Navigation stock carried it up nearly 6 per cent, it could not hold that im provement, and sagged away later. The Gran gers came' next, and St. Paul and Rhode Island were most prominent, both showing large gains at the close, and the transactions running up to big figures. The covering of shorts was more prominent in this group than in any other part of the list, and gave those stocks their position in tbe market. The Gould shares were moderately active, only all were strong. Oregon Short Line and Evansville and Terre Haute made especially sharp, upward movements. In the unlisted department sugar was again the feature. Bullish feeling in them continued while the outsiders bought liberally. The marked exception to tbe general strength, shown was Chicago Gas, which was depressed upon news ot further litigation against the trust by the holder of ten shares who brought previous suits, but the decline went only a shurt distance. Tbe whole participated in the improvement, and dealings reached a larger figure than in any day during tbe recent rise The upward movement continued with but slight interruptions. The last hour, when the realizations upon profits accrued during tbe day, caused a slight sagging off of prices. The reaction amounted to but little, however. The close was active and firm at the best prices of the day. The final changes show almost an unbroken line of advances and Delaware and Hudson is up 27, Oregon Navigation 2. Oregon Short Lino 25, Sugar 2, LAckawauna Hi, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy V Union Pacific 1 per cent each. The Atchison issues, the Kan sas and Texas issues and the Reading incomes were most prominent in the deal. The Atchi son incomes contributed $469,000, tbe firsts $227. 000, the Kansas and Texas general 7s $385,000, the Rio Grande Western firsts $133,000 and the Reading first incomes $142,000 to tbe totals, St. Paul and Dnluth 7s rose 2, Evansville and Terre Haute firsts 3Jito 12K.GreenBavinconies 2 to 25. Government bonds have been dull and steady. Stato bonds have been dull. The Post says tbe advance in prices dnrlng tbe forenoon was duo principally to purchases for the spirit account induced by the silver commission on a bill for an increased monopoly purchase of silver. The other factors in the advance were continued ease in money both here and abroad, the large earnings of rail roads, the heavy volume ot business in sight. Bearish reports from the West are entirely in Correot.

The Wholesale Drjgoods Trade la a Healthy Condition. The drygoods trade is entirely satisfactory say the leading jobbers. Representatives of two of the leading houses of the city were seen yesterday, and both expressed themsolves as very comfortable over the situation and out look. Said one of the pioneers of this industry, whose knowledge of it extends beyond" a half century : "There is no Doom, but something much better, a good, healthy trade. Orders are coming in freely, collections are reasonably good, and, on the whole, business is as good with us as it has ever been. Prices are low, in some lines lower than last year, and profits are small but sufficient for a bealthy trade. The mild winter has forced jobbers to carry over perhaps more woolen goods than usual, but this may 111 the end be to their benefit, as wool is likely to advance in price between now and falL ' The time of great profits has passed away and a better day has conio when success depends on pushing trade and niacins large quantities of goods. The new era is better for consumerand jobber alike since the speculative feature of onr trade i3 practically a thing of the past. A representative of another leading honse said: "Onr trade is better than it was this time last vear. and in fact has been so all tho year so far. We are kept hustling in order to attend to our customers. There are iewer speculative in fluences in the wholesale drygoods trade than for some years past. The fear that we would be forced to carry over heavy stocks of woolen goods, which prevailed a month or two ago, proved groundless. We bought only as wo needed, and are carrying over no more goods than usual. If there are heavy stocks being carried, they are in tbehandsof manufacturers, certainly not in the hands of Pittsburg jobbers. Big Drveooris Company Orcnn'zctl. New York, April 24. Thero was an improv ing business in drygoods at first hands. The tone of the cotton goods market Is firmer. Low grade brown and bleached are realizing better prices. Tho Androscoggin L 4-4 bleached shirt ings were advanced c a yard. The prospectus of tbe H. B. Claflin Company is out. The capi tal is 9,000.000 in $100 shares. The firm take 6,000.000, ot which John Claflin has $3,000,000, and will be President. It is expected to be in operation about thn middle of June. The re organization ot this firm is well thought of here. GrntlfrlnE to All. Tbe high position attained and the universal acceptance and approval of the pleasant liquid fruit remedy Syrup of Figs, as the most excel lent laxative known, illustrate the value of the qualities on which Its success is based and are abundantly "gratifying to the California Fig Syrup Company.

Prices are practically unchanged since onr last report. Butter and eggs are moving freely at present low rates, and markets are steadier than they have been for a week or two past. Choice vegetables are firmly held at quotations, while common stock goes begging. The demand for high grade cheese is also good. Snpplyand quality of strawberries have greatly improved within a few days, and prices are fast approaching the purchasing power of the average purse.

Corn is scarcely as firm as it has been for a week past. The general feeling among opera tors is that corn has reached its highest point, and tbat any future changes will be toward a lower level. Oats are still very scarce and mar kets are firm at outside quotations. Wheat and flour are very strong. Good milling wheat is unusually scarce in this market, and our quotations are advanced, in accordance with stubborn facts. Receipts as bulletined at the Grain Exchange, 33 cars. By Pittsburg. Ft.

MAEKETS BY TOE. Less Doing-In Wheat and Jnly Lower Corn Receives Mom Attention Onl Ac live nnd Stronger Pork Kerv on and Unsettled. CHICAGO Tbe volume of business in wheat was rather smaller to-day and more of a local character. A fair nnmber of outside orders were received, but less than for some days past, which, however, can be accounted for by the rather steadier condition of the market and the fact of prices remaining within about the sale range for several days. . The market opened rather strong and prices ic higher. The firmness was assisted some by the colder weather, but the speculative offerings were quite large, under which the market weakened and prices declined lc. then rallied, fluctuated some and closed about the same as yesterday for May and Jnne and a lower for July than closing figures on 'Change yesterday. The feeling was rather firm most of tbe session. Corn received considerable attention, tho market ruling fairly active at a lower range of prices. The feeling developed was weaker, there being but little support to the market, and offerings were considerably increased. 1 he easier tone was attributed some to the fine weather and decline in wheat, but tho reaction was due as much as anything to the fact that May shorts have been pretty well covered of late, and thus support was withdrawn from the marker. The market opened at yesterday's close, was easy, and sold off K". reacted some, ruled steady, and closed lA'gz lower than yesterday. Oats were active, stronger and sold at higher prices early in the session, bnt later weakness set in. and prices receded &:. and the mar ket closed quiet at about inside prices. The feature of the trading was the f reef selling by one large operator and the by buying another. At one time he bid 24c for any part of LOOO.OOO bushels July. The last named month was tbe weakest on the list, despite the large buying. A nervous and unsettled feeling prevailed in pork. Sellers were not disposed to offer much property and were very cautious in their move ments, while buyers also were conservative in their bids. Tbe fact is. most any offer was lia ble to be accepted from either side of the mar ket. Evidently there are some shorts out or prices conld not be twisted in the manner they are. The volume of business was light. One Of tbe features of tbe market was the fact tbat June at one time commanded a premium ot 57Ko over July. Prices were advanced 2030c during the early part of the day but settled back again 10 15c. Near tbe close they ad vanced 1520c. closing firm. A moderate trade was reported in lard with considerable irregularity in prices within a comparatively narrow range. The market opened rather easv at Wednesday's closing fig ures, advanced 2c, and then settled back again and closed quiet. Only a fair trade was reported in short ribs. Early sales were made at Wednesday's closing figures, but a slight improvement was gained later. About the middle of tbe session tho market ruled easier and prices declined 2!5c. Toward the close tbo market was steadier and prices rallied slightly and closed quiet. Tbe leading futures ranged as follows: Wheat No. 2. April. 88J3!iS873i 88c; May, 8S68S7jSSK-: June.

BUSINESS NOTES. There will be three stock calls hereafter,, beginning on Monday next. There Is nothing like a well-developed boll to take the enthusiasm out of a stock broker. ' Business is rather quiet on Liberty street; except with wholesale grocers, who are rashecj to fill orders. Wall street traders seem to be waiting for Mr. Gnnld to make a move. It is known thaS be is bullish. Twesty-two mortgages were placed on rec ord yesterday. The two largest were .for $6,000 " each. Seven were given for purchase money. Jin. John Hereon Yes. there is a geoa deal going on in real estate. I am sitting on some big things to keep them from getting away from me. Produce dealers found little comfort from yesterday's rain, but umbrella dealers were happv. This illustrates a phase of human na ture that i3 as universal as tbe race.

High-priced ico is already seriously affect-' ing the butchers, especially those whose trade is small. The expense of preserving fresh meats the coming snmmer will be more than double the average.
