IRON TRADEKETIEW. Ko Eadical Signs of Improvement in the Local Markets. ACTIVITY WEST. Any Amonct of Inquiries and Borne Ex tensive Purchases. PEESEST SITUATION AT BIRMIKGHAM The iron market gives no signs of im provement, but the reverse. "We are forced to reduce prices in accordance with stubborn facts. It was thought by dealers a week ago that bardpan had been reached, but it seems that there was a lower deep. Trade is in a very unsatisfactory condition to the producer of raw iron who has to lay in stock at presentences. The furnaceman who can come out even at present cost of iron must be Tery favorably located and stop up all leakages. Said one of our leading iron brokers to-day: "I do not believe it pos sible for the average f nrnaceman to produce Iron without a loss, at present prices of ore and coke. "We are now In the pinch of the struggle for the ascendancy between North and South as to the iron trade. Fair mill iron can now bo laid down in Pitts burg from Alabama at about 114 per ton. The cost at the Alabama furnace is only $9 50 per ton, and with the influx of Southern iron, I cannot see how our Pennsylvania furnace men can maintain their trade and have a living profit." Bessemer iron has been changing hands this m eek at rednced prices and oar quo tations are lowered in accordance with the facts. Nails are slow at last week's prices.

Pis Shipped East nnd West Ontpnt for the Week Past Fnrnacemen Happy. rsrccixr. teleoiuh to tub dispatch i Birmingham, Ala April 25. Anticipating no material advance in the price of pig iron during the summer, manufacturers in the Birmingham district are selling freely. During the week several large shipments have been made to Western points. The Mary Pratt Company shipped 800 tons to Boston and other shipments to the same parties will be made during May. Other Eastern markets took sev eral hundred tons duriug the ueek, but the principal shipments were to Western points. While there is an active demand no large contracts for future delivery are beingnade. Buyers are of the opinion that prices will be lower during the summer and they aie only buying enough for immediate needs. Eighteen of the 21 furnaces in this district are in blast. Those out of blast are undergoing repairs and will blow in soon The total output for the week will be about 12,000 tons. The stock of iron on hand in this district has been greatly reduced during the past 60 days, ana at the present rate of trading little stock will accumulate during the summer. The total amount of stock on hand in the district, includ ing all stored in the warrant warehouse, is esti mated at 40,000 tons, or little more than two weeks' output. Stocks have not been so low before for many mouths. Work on the two furnaces of the Vandcrbilt Iron Company in this city is progressing rapidly and they will be ready to ro in blast earlv iu July, These furnaces are of 100 tons capacity each. Mr. Thomas Seddon. President of the Sloss Iron and Steel Company, said to-day that the outlook for trade was better; than it had been for a long time. Southern iron men are very well satisfied with the present price ot iron. They can make money at present prices, and as long as there is a good demand for their output they are not going to complain. "We are push ing our iron lurtber West," he said, "and reach ing new markets. Even if there is a further decline of SI per ton during the summer, it mil not serioual affect us and would not curtail production in this section." A GKADDAL STIFFENING. Buying Continues Heavy, But U Confined to the Southern Brands. ISPXCIAI. TELEGRAM TO TIIS DISPATCH.l Cexcixsati. April 25. Rogers, Brown d. Co. say: The account of the situation last week fits very well the present condition of affairs. Buy ing still runs heavy, but it is directed chiefly to Southern brands of iron. Whatever change there has been in prices is in the direction of gradual stiffening. Freights from Birmincham will bo reduced another 10 cents May 1, carry ing them back to the minimum rates in force last summer; all these reductions in freight, being due under the sliding schedule based on prices, have been fully discounted in most of the April sales. Southern companies are slow to make any formal advance in prices, though they feel the position warrants them in doing so. Experience of the last half year teaches that too rapid putting up ot values is attended with danger. In the North the furnaces hold their ground firmly. Concessions have been made in one or two cases, where it was thought Southern com petition should be recognized. As a rule, how ever, furnaces are content to let Southern mak ers have all of the business they are willing to take at these prices. The ore men alhrm that with three-fourths to seven-eighth? ot the Lake Snperior product sold, it is impossible to think now of lowering prices on the small unsold remnant. Any considerable reduction in the price ot coke is deemed impossible from labor considerations. Northern furnaces therefore seem to be in for a season of high cost. This will necessarily curtail production slowly if the market does not strengthen. MORE INQUIRIES AND ORDERS. Bolder of Pis Iron Are Asking for Ad vnncca All Alone the Line. rEFZCTAI. TXXEOIIAH TO THI DISPATCH. St. Louis, April 25. Rogers. Brown fc Meacbam say: Inquiries for Southern iron continue to be numerous and consumers are placing their orders somewhat more freely. This movement, while primarily due to the exigencies of consumption and tho need to replenish stocks, is no doubt hastened by the stronger attitude assumed by Southern fur naces. Most of these are asking material advances on figures recently accepted, and have secured sufficient business to make them fairly indifferent to further business at present prices.

The iron market Is irregular, but, upon the whole, firmer. Manufacturers of pig metal, steel rails and structural iron all report a better inquiry. One of the largest concerns in the city received to day an inquiry for terms upon 15.000 tons of steel rails, and buyers and holders are not far apart as to terms. An inquiry for rails comes all the way across the continent from Tacoma, Wash. It Is not likely that the Philadelphia rail maker will make a pnee acceptable to the Pacific slope buyer, but the inquiry indicates that Western buyers are plajing their last cards be fore closing contracts with the concerns with whom they usually deal. The small surplus of pig iron is principally in mill and foundry yards. The way-out Yards have not to exceed 60.000 tons, or less than one week's production, which is a small factor in the market. Fur naces have been running upon ore contracts made some time since, and when they come to renew these contracts they will have to con cede an advance, which will increase the cost ofpig metal. , The railroads in Trunk Line and Central Traffic Association territory have agreed upon a reclassification of manufactured iron which will cheapen freight rates about 15 per cent. Articles in the fourth class will be placed in the fifth and some in the fifth will be placed in the sixth class, and It is expected that the change will take effect about May 5. While the market is still a dicker between buyer and seller, the quotations below give a fair range within which business is transacted. Quotations are: No. 1 foundry, S18 5019 00; No. 2, S17 50 18 00; gray forge, S16 0016 30 per ton at tide. The same grades of Southern pig are worth $17, $16 and $15 25 per ton delivered.

Rogers, Brown & Co. say: This market has seen more than usual ac tivity the past week, some of the large buyers and a good many of the smaller ones have de cided that it was time to take bold. Contracts closed amount to several thousand tons of mis cellaneous foundry irons and some charcoal irons. The bulk of the business has gone South, Southern prices still run below those of irons made from lake ores. There is, bow ever, a perceptible stiffening up in Southern values, and the extremely low figures that were talked about early in the month cannot now be touched by 75 cents per ton. Chicago and vicinity have been undergoing a remarkable increase in consuming capacity through the enlargement of old plants and the extensive building of new ones. Some of these new enterprises are reaching completion, and are in the market as new factors for large quantity of iron. It is held by some that Chi cago is the largest consuming center of irons in the United States, not excepting Pittsburg and Philadelphia. Mill irons, ot course, have but little market here.

Tho spring chickens which are offered are of diminutive size and collossal price. Butter and eggs are down to their low est point for this season. Good country roll butter is sold in a jobbing way, at 15c per pound, and the best eggs at 12c per dozen. Sweet potatoes and tomatoes are a shaao higher than last week, owing to scarcity. As paragus Is now coming to market in fine qual ity, and prices are drifting lower. Standard meats change not, whatever be the fluctuations of lire stock markets. Butchers report that high-priced ice the coming season will narrow their margins of profit, and that a reduction is ont of the question. In tho line of lake and ocean products supply has been fully up to demand for the week past Stormy weather has prevented a full catch on the lakes, and there has been a shortage of some kinds of lake fish for a few days. The season for shad is now at its best, and consumption is heavy. W'hito fish are not yet in full supply, but are coming more freely to market this week than last The oyster season draws near to its c.lo'-c.

Something About to Happen to Stir Up Heal Estate Circles. HINTS THAT ARE GOOD AS KICKS. Talk of a Wood-Worker That Should In terest Architects and Builders. A MACHINE FOR BUTTERING BREAD. There was considerable talk yesterday about big deals in real estate. It is known that several are about closed up and that others are in progress, but they are sur rounded by so much red tape that details are out of the question. Seven thousand dollars a foot front on Fifth avenue would materially raise the standard of value for city property, and yet a number of brokers thought it far from extravagant for anything between Smithfleld and Wood streets, running through to Virgin alley. This is admitted by a few long-headed investors, and if two or three properties within the limits mentioned are picked up at $7,000 a foot no one need be surprised, having been f oren arned. There is the best of authority for the statement that a sensation in local real estate is impending. Here In Pittsburg, where houses are being built at the rate of about 5.000 a year, anything relating to the material used is of Interest to actual as well as prospective owners of build ings. In discussing the question "Which part of the tree is strongest, and therefore the most serviceable?" an export wood-worker said yes terday: "It is the custom in many places to have joists, plates, sills and other important pieces tested before using. This Is a good idea, and should be universally adopted. Is it not of much greater importance that the strength of materials entoring into the construction of a factory, store or dwelling be as accurately de termined beforehand as those out of which cars, bridges and some other works are built. Proprietors of car works, railroad and con struction companies have the strength of ma terials ascertained before a blow Is struck, bnt an architect or builder who makes a specialty of such knowledge is hard tojnnd. "This leads to the question, strength con sidered, of the merits of certain portions of a tree. Practical tests show that the greatest strength and tonghness lie near the most re cently formed heartwood, or that part nearest to the sapwood. For this reason alone it be comes a matter of the greatest importance in the selection of timber or lumber requiring great strength and toughness to have as little sapwood as possible." The latest and most unique invention is a machine for buttering bread. It is nsed in con nection with a great patent bread cntter, and is intended for use in prisons, workhouses, and other reformatory institutions. There is a cyl indrical shaped brush which is fed with butter, and lays a thin layer on the bread as it comes from tho cutter. The machine can be worked by hand, steam or electricity, and has a capac ity of cutting and buttering 750 loaves of bread an hour. The saving of butter and of bread, and the decrease in the quantity of crumbs is said to be very large. Mr. James Russell, of Chattanooga, Tenn., was in the city yesterday on business con nected with the iron trade. Speaking of his section, he said: "The real estate business in the South was never more prosperous than at present. New towns are being built and old ones improved. Facts at hand show that almost every Southern town will construct moro buildings this year than last, and as a rule they will be of a handsome and sub stantial character. Architects are busy with plans for a number of important improvements in Chattanooga." THE BU0M STILL OS. Steep Bids for Brldsewnter Gaa and still Steeper Offers. There were no sales at the morning stock call yesterday, but prices were well sustained. Bndgewater Gas continued its upward move ment, 49 being bid, with none offered. The rest of the list showed no special change The afternoon session resulted in sales of 215 shares and a further whirl in Bndgewater Gas. It was bid up to 60 and offered at 60. Several brokers denied that the advance was due to manipulation, but to the prosperous condition of the company. It is not burdened with debt. Philadelphia Gas, Pleasant Valley and West lnghouse Electric closed at slight concessions from opening prices, and Central Traction, Luster and bwith ana Signal recorded frac tional gains. MOrtNINQ.

The Local Money Market In Good Shape Proof of Proiperlty. Continued activity in the business concerns of Pittsburg, in spite of the industrial upheaval, actual and prospective, is shown from day to day in the Clearing House statements. That for yesterday, although not up to the average of the previous days of the week, reflected this feature of the situation very clearly, Tho exchanges were $2,621,287 87, and the balances $455,318 95. It is now settled that this week's record will be the best of the j ear to date. This evidence of prosperity under the peculiar and somewhat depressing circumstances which exist affords undoubted proof that the finan cial, commercial and manufacturing interests of the cltv rest on a foundation which is not easily shaken. There was nothing new in the money market. The snpply was equal, and more than equal, to all requirements, discounting was fair and rates steady t C7 per cent on call and time paper respectively.

The present outlook in this field is decidedly flattering. Just why it is so let the following explanation tell: Last September the "Big John" at Eureka was drilled in by Boyle & Barnesdall to the tune of 00 barrels, and was soon followed in the same vicinity by seven other wells of similar capacity. In March, this year, theTwo Brothers Oil Company brought in the "Island Beauty." on the Little Brother Island, another 300 barrel well.a mile and a half northeast of the Big John, on a 45 line. Since this latter development Barnesdall c Boyle have completed Corbitt Nos. 2 and 3, at 100 and 150 barrels respectively, the former one-third and the latter three quarters of a mile northeast of the Big John, on the 45 line This gives the field nearly two miles of assuted territory, the width of which is not yet ascertained, but whose productive ness is undoubted. In this district there are now over 30 loca tions. Twenty-three of them have their rigs up, 11 are drilling, six will declare themselves within ten days, barring accidents. The next well to be heard from will probably be William Johnston's Locke No. 1, situated 200 yards southwest of the Island Beauty. She is now down 080 feet, and will case to-day. Shlngleton Nos. 1 and 2, C. B. Hart's Barn yard well, G. W. Boss' Triangle well, John ston's Locke No. 2, Bockunier's Locke No. 3, Storey's Frledel No. I and The Two Brothers OH Company's Island No. 2, are all drilling within a quarter ot a mile of the Island well and range from 100 feet to 700 feet in depth. The best results are looked for from all of them. The Greenwood well, reported oy some en thusiast as doing 1U0 barrels, is out of line, and a most undeniable duster, bbe was abandoned last Saturday. Hart's Blacksmith well on T. N. Boss starts spudding to-day. She is 200 yards southeast of the Island well, in the direction of the old Johnston passers. Some enterpnsing and hopeful operators have commenced work five miles southwest of productiomTbe Jewell Oil Compznyon Strosnei der, Booth on A. Cokeley, and Decker on Mc Cosh, have their rigs up, and will test the 45 line, which they cross at right angles about a half mile apart. A mile southwest of these wells is E. T. Kirk's venture on G. H. Rolston, just ready to get up steam, while a mile and a half northeast of them Boss and Brockumer have ordered a rig to go on the if oy farm. Conservative oil men are glad these wells aro going down, and glad someone else is doing it. Two storage .tanks of 35.000 barrels each are being built at .Eureka on the Hammett farm. These will answer very well for a short time, but from the present outlook their capacity will need to be -more than doubled within the next SOdajs. In the interest of visitors and sojourners, be it known that the new depot is at last being Sut up at Belmont, and that a telegraph station as already been established here. The register of the Belmont Hotel shows to day: J. W. Smith, Buffalo: Colin M. Reed, A. M. Todd, K. Gibson and E. T. Kirk, Washing ton. Pa.; C. L. Ram&ay and W. L. Norton, Pittsburg. WEST VIRGINIA FIELDS. Lease and Oil Operations la the Vicinity of Mannlaffton. .-SPECIAL TXLEOKAM TO TUX DISPATCH.l 'Mannington, W. Va., April 25. 'ibe oil business has quieted down a little, but there are still here some good men looking after what territory is still unleased. The Burt well has been drilled a little more with an improved appearance. It is reported as doing over 100 barrels. Some good prices have been paid for territory. The South Penn Oil Company re cently purchased in fee from J. H. Furbee 110 acres at $125 per acre, and are building a rig on the same. Machinery and fixtures are here to start the well on the Rymer farm, recently leased by George F. Wyvell. of Kane, Pa., at a bonus of $8,000. Work will also soon be com menced on the B. F. Blacksbire farm, letsed PV Wyvell, who has obtained another 100 acres of the same land, making 300 acres now owned by Wyvell of the Blacksbire estate. Wyvell also has the Hall and Nay farms adjoining the Bui t farm. A J. Montgomery & Co. have sold to George Gllmore and Bennett the Erwin lease, and a well will be started at once. A well will also be started on the Dancern fam, adjoining the Burt well on the east. Ira Dewitt, of Pittsburg, will commence a well on Mod's run a few miles northeast of here. Mr. Scott and George Hu kill, of Pittsburg, have been here trying to pur chase the land of John and J. R. Blacksbire, but as yet have not closed the deal. It looks as if the country would be thoroughly developed, and there seems no doubt but West Virginia will soon be to the front as an oil-producing State. Several more wells than those mentioned are to be drilled as soon as lumber and machin ery can be received. Other Oil Markets. On Crrr. April 25.

The Hoffman well is holdmgup to 250 barrels a day, but has not been drilled in. A 75-BARREL well has been brought in about 60 feet north ot the old Vanderlin well. Drilling has been stopped at the well on the McDonald Brothers' farm, at Primrose sta tion by a bad cave-iu. The well drilled by Stephen Harley on the Thomas Donaldson farm, north of Midway, is through the Gordon sand and dry. Some attention is being paid to recent opera tions in Sandy Lake township, Mercer county, where there are 12 wells producing from 1 to 15 barrels a day each. The Hahn well, which came in dry some days ago, is showing some gas from the lower sand, to which it was drilled, and a small spraying of oil that creeps in from the 100-foot sand. The Griffith well at Wildwood has been given a small shot, wh'ich stirred it up to the extent of increasing its prodnction at the start to the rate of 400 barrels a day, and it is now do ing 300 barrels. The Luce well, at Murrinsville, bas come in as a 180-barrel-a-day producer. The product is the dark-colored, muddy bullion oil, quite dif ferent from the amber-hued oil of this section, ana comes irom we intra sana. EALLI IN KEALTI. A. Larse Number ot Transactions.

BEST PEICES LAST. Railroad Shares Moving Forward oa a Bull Spurt Outside Baying Orders Prevent a Bear Raid Trusts la the Bncksronnd. New Yore, April 25. The stock market again showed a moderate volume of business and steadily advancing prices to-day. While there was considerable irregularity in tho movement almost everything on the active list Is higher to-night. The important movements were limited to a f ow of tho leading stocks, and for a change the iaactlve list developed no im portant upward movement. The bears were inclined to test the market again at the opening this moruing, but the temper of the room is now fairly bullish. The continuance of buying orders for outside ope rators held the market steady after a slight concession in prices during the first few min utes' trading. The baying then began in ear nest, and from that time until the close the steady hardening of values which has become the most pronounced characteristic of the market continued without a break. Coal stocks, grangers and New England were strong features to-day; all of them scored ma terial gains, while the rest of the list dragged along withont feature or movement beyond the slow appreciation mentioned. Atchison and Texas Pacific, with a few other low-priced shares, showed signs of joining in the upward movement to-day, but their final changes were, as a rule, unimportant. There were no new developments to affect values to-day,but the same influences remained in force. Tho most encouraging sign of aroused feeling and general improvement is the number of outside orders to buy now being received by brokers. Even in Rock Island and Missouri Pacific although there is not the slightest indication of a cessation of the fight, orders to buy exceed selling, and those kept pace with the remainder of the list. ro-uay ol .raui siocks were me most prom inent. Preferred rose from 114 to 118, and closed at 118. Ihe common was again the leader in point of activity, and it also scored a material improvement. Delaware and Hud son came next to St, Paul preferred with an other of its sharp upward spurts. Lackawanna, Northwestern, Omaha and New England com prise the leading strong stocks, but there was not a really weaic point in the market. The trusts were not so active, and failed to make any material change in quotations. The close was active and strong at about the best f rices of the day. Marked gains were St. Paul K. the common 1, Northwestern 1, Lacka wanna Vi, Delaware and Hudson Vyi, and Omaha and New England ya eacn.

Friday failed to come up to expectations of commission men. Large quantities of poor potatoes have been coming to market within a few days, called out by high prices.

Booms Exploded nnd Business Moving Along Smoothly Operators In W beat Proceedlns Cnntioualy for Fenr of a Snap. CHICAGO A fair business was transacted in wheat to-day and fluctuations were again confined within a moderate limit and no new features were developed. There was a rather bearish feeling, but operators were slow to sell very freely or take to the short side, evidently fearing they might be caught short, as the mar ket responds easily to bull influences. But the fact that each advance of late has met with free speculative offerings has created the be lief that operators were selling quietly realiz ing on long wheat. The market to-day ruled quieter than on any day since the advance started in. The opening was about the same as the closing fignres of yesterday; ruled irregular, advancing a for July and closed a higher for May and Jio lower for July tnan yesterday. There was nothing in the way ot outside news to affect the market particularly. Cabin advices warn a little irregular. Corn was only moderately active, tha market ruling rather dull, with the feeling somewhat easier. Operations were largely local and fluc tuations narrow. The market opened a shade under the closing yesterday, was easy for a time, rallied a little, but closed weak and c lower than yesterday. Oats were quiet and easier. There was less disposition on the part of a majority of traders to buy, tbey being afraid of the amount un loaded by several large holders. On the other hand they were rather reluctant to sell, henco prices changed but c Trading was moderately active in pork and prices ruled irregular. Opening sales were at 6c decline, after which an advance of 2530c was gained. Toward the close the feeling was easier and prices settled back 1015c, closing quiet. A fairly active trade was reported in lard. Sales were made early at abonttbe closing fig ures of Thursday, but later prices rallied 5 7Kc. Toward the close a quieter feeling pre vailed, and prices eased off slightly, the market closing quiet. Quite a good trade was reported in short ribs, and the market ruled stronger. The market closed steady, with prices 7i10c higher. The leading futures ranged as follows: Wheat-No. 2.
