THE DEPEESSIOU ACROSS THE OCEAN rsrsdll. TtEPBAH TO TBI DISrATCH.1 Kew Tohk. May L The Iror. Age will print to-day the following: American pig With the exception of some blocks of Ho. 2 foundry and No. 1 soft, by Southern fur naces, the amount of business lias been light. General conditions remain substantially the same. There is a disposition among Southern sellers to avoid making low prices, quite a good many of the companies have been sold heavily for forward delivery in other mar kets. We quote Southern No. 1, $16 75 17 60; No. 2. $16 2516 60; while Northern irons range from S1S19 for No. 1 foundry and from $17618 for No. 2. Spiegeleisen and ferro-manganese Aside from a sale of 1,000 tons of 20 per cent to a Pittsburg rail mill on private terms, no trans actions are reported. As indicative of the atti tude of buyers we may note that the mill men tioned made inquiry for 5,1)00 tons, but finally; took only the quantity named. We quote nominally $31 S0g32 00. In ferro the business is very light, the majority of buyers being cov ered np to August. For forwara delivery $79 00680 00 could be done, while for spot and quick shipment as much as $S6 has been paid. Billets In the East the market is dull, tbero being little demand, and. on the other hand, little pressure to sell on the prt of Eastern mills. From the West, however, low offennjrs bv middle men ana by mills contra tie,and $30 00 630 50 is considered a fair quotation, delivered. Kith rumors of otters to sell at lower prices. fcteel rails The market continues in a very unsatisfactory condition, sales being small and inquiries in the territory which Eastern mills can reach being light. Among the few now on the market is one for Florida. The prospect for business to the Eastern mills is not consid ered promising. In certain sections of the South tbe competition of the Pittsburg mills is felt. Ibereisone circumstance, which, how. ever, tells against any such violent decline in steel rails as has occurred in soft steel. Very few rails have been held by specu lators, while in billets both consumers and speculators had bought heavily for delivery during March and April. When the mills began to tender the materials, asking for specifications on soft steel billets, the purchasers or speculators bad to force the market to find a place for them. Ko such forced sales have taken place in rails. The majority of the Eastern mills purchased raw material heavily last fall and early in the winter for delivery during a con siderable part of this year. This has pretty well fixed their limit ol cost at a relatively high figure, which they will be reluctant to ap proach. These facts explain the extraordinary difference in tbe price of billets and steel rails, which in Pittsburg is about S5 per ton, while it is only about $303 60 in the East. The market at Eastern mills is difficult to define. It is decidedly in buyers' favor, and while $33 is nominally quoted, that price would be probably shaded by some sellers to secure a desirable order. The Pittsbnrg mills report sales aggregating about 8,000 tons, one mill placine two blocks in tbe Sutithwest and one block in Ohio, while tbe other has secured the order for 16.01)0 tons for the Northern Pacific The rivalry between the two mills is represent ed as being sham, and competitive business is taken at close figures. Of the Chicago mills, only two are reported to be running on rails, theother two undergoing remodeling and re pairs. The capacity is thus limited tempo rarily. Structural Material Local mills report a fair run of small orders and are figuring on a num ber of larger contracts. We quote 2,152.20c for plates, 2.J02.ae for angles. 2.52.6c for tees and 3.1c fur beams and channels. plates Some fair orders have been placed for special steel and it isprobable that at an early date orders for ship plate for two new vesssels will be given out. We quote: Steel shell 2.70) 2.75c, tank 2.35S2.4C and flange 2.33.1c, delK ercd. with trim ranging two to three tenths less. Merchant Steel Some good orders have been received, but have been sharply competed frr. We quote: Machinery, 2.0SUoc; toe calk, 2.10 62.10C rates, and tire 2.05gil0c, rates. Fateninsrs The marke is very quiet and is weaker. We quote: S2 05z 10, delivered, for f Dikes, and SI To for steel amtles.

New York, May L Tbe Iron Age. in its issue to-day, will print the following from London: "Flatness In the pig iron market seems to be more pronounced each succeeding week, and restriction of output all around is con sidered inevitable. Speculation in warrants has been rather livelier the past few days, now ever, chiefly tbro gh tbe demand to cover short sales, and prices wound up at the close, Tuesday, to 45s. 5d. for Scotch, 45s. for Cleve land and 54s. lOd. for hematites. To-day there was business at 44s. 8d-, 443. 6d. and 53s. 6d. respectively. Swan Brothers, weathy Glasgow brokers, have suspended payment. The firm's entanglement was mostly in Cleveland pig.

Barrow A decline pf2s.6d.the past week, and orders continue light. Block tin has been in only moderate de mand for consumption at tbe advanced rates, but the rise in the price of silver has encour aged holders and caused quite an active specu lative demand. Sellers are offering sparingly at the present time, but with smaller specula tive demand prices are a little off to-day. Tbe tin plate market is firmer, owing to stoppage of a large number of mills and tbe closing of sev eral works to await better times. A number oi makers nave determined to suspend work if they cannot get better prices. Operations at the Gorselnon works (William Lewis t Sons) have been stopped. Copper has been in better demand, and the cash warrants circulated are absorbed to a large extent by consumers whose requirements, for electrical and other purposes, have been Steadily increasing. The diminished supply from North America and the Chilian position is favorable Tor advancing markets, but the un certainty regarding the probable action of French holders deters speculation. About 800 tons have been sold for French account this week. German pig iron smelters, tin platers' union and rod iron union have reduced prices largely all around.

Summary of Business for the Month of April Tbe Idle Ovens Numerous nt Present Attempts to Reduce Prices Not Likely to Succeed. 1SFECIAL TELBOBAH TO THE DISPJLTCH.1 Scottdale, May L The conditions ruling in the coke trade are similar to those presented in last report. Trade has lodged in a rut. in which it possibly may remain during the sum mer, with the general tenor fair. The operators have done well in preserving the trade thus far, when tbe melancholy state of the iron trade is considered. It is said that oneof tbe companies will resume some of the ovens, which were blown out a short time since. While shipments last week would indi cate no improvement, there is a slight move ment upward, which is likely to be a charac teristic of trade this week. The works will operate, as a general rule, aLout five days next week, while a few operators will be fortunate in making a six-day run. Seemingly, some of the consumers are using every available effort to break coke prices, but up to date they have signally failed. An operator stated yesterday: "Some of the consumers of coke are operating their works about half time in the hope of lowering coke prices, and that is one of tbe principal reasons for the comparative dullness in trade. Another is that some of tbe furnaces are closing down temporarily for needed repairs." Trade for the month of April has been fair, as the shipments will show. For tbe month there were over 5SO,000 tons of coke sent, which is only a small decrease compared with last month. The car supply was excellent, as well as other transportation facilities. The month was marked by the shutting down of over 1,800 ovens because of a general cutting down in or ders. The works operated four and five days per week alternately. Last week 6,050 cars nf coke v ere sent out, an average of about 1,009 cars per day. The shipments were distributed to the various points of consumption as follow: To points west of Pittsburg. 3.500 cars; to Pittsburg and river points, 1,350 cars: to points east ot Pittsburg, 1,200 cars. Shipments for the preceding n eek gave a total of 6.4S0 cars and were consigned thus: To points west of Pittsburg, 3,450 cars: to Pittsburg and river points, 1,530 cars; to points east of Pittsburg, 1,600 cars. Shipments to points west note an increase of 56 cars; to Pittsburg, a decrease of 180 cars, and to east ern points a fallmc off of 300 cars. The Morrejl and Wheeler plants of 500 ovens are in operation, after a week's idleness from the strike. The Yountrstown plant of 240 ovens will remain idle some time because of some new machinery that is being erected. Tbe McCIure and Schoonmaker plants will operate five days next week. Tbe Smithtson region is still idle because of strike. Coal and coke from that district enter the market. It is understood that tho contract is about to be let for tbe building of some additional ovens to tbe Davidson plant. There are over 2,500 idle ovens in tbe coke re gion. There are uo local strikes at present to injure the trade. The following prices are being sustained, but it is still thought that a couple of the com panies are shading prices: Furnace coke, $2 15; foundry, J2 45: crushed, $2 65. Freight rates per ton of 2,000 lbs from the Connellsville region, which includes any part of it, to points of consumption, are as follows: ToPlttsburp fan To .Mahonlntr and fchcnmgo Valleys 1 & To Cleveland. 0 1 70 To Huffaio, N, Y S 25 To Detroit, Mich 2 35 To Cincinnati, 0 2 65 To Louisville.

Movements in Eeal Estate, PctroleHm, Local Securities and Hard Cash. KEWS AND GOSSIP ON FOURTH ATENDE A gentleman connected with the Union National Bank of Pittsburg tells a good story on a business man, formerly well known here, who, in the conrse of his career, made several failures and settled witn his creditors at 25 cents on the dollar. Wnen he failed for the last time his bead book keeper told him he conld not afford to pav morethanl5 cents. "That will never do," replied the bankrupt. "We must Keep up our reputation. "111 pay 25 cents if I have to take it out of my own pocket." V w Sixth Street Snspenslon Bridge. The capital stock of the Sixth Street Suspen sion Bridge is $250,000, divided into 10,000 shares of a par value of $25. The stock is widely scat tered, not more than one-fifth of it being held in Allegheny county. Large blocks are held in Philadelphia and Washington City. Some of it has fonnd its way to the West. At the meet ing of stockholders called for May 30, the ques tion of building a new bridge will -probably be decided in the affirmative, as the majority of them are understood to be in favor of the im provement, w Local Wnll Street Gossip. Tbe street authorities are investigating the merits of a new kind of firebrick for sidewalks and pavements, which Mr. N. S. McClarren claims is equal to Belgian blocks and one-third cheaper. A practical test will be made soon. Thirty-six mortgages were recorded on Wednesday, tbe largest being for 511,000. Ten were given for purchase money. Deposits in the savings banks of New En gland, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland amount to about $1,300,000,000, a very large percentage of which is lnvestod or is to bo invested in municipal tionds, and tbe ag gregate amount of such bonds constantly upon the market is, at a rough estimate, about $12,- 000,000. The gradual retirement of Govern ment bonds, together with the large amount of municipal bonds maturing annually, makes the latter a financial factor of great importance. Tbe East End Improvement Company is hav ing plans prepared for a bank building on Com merce street, Wilmcrding. A block of the stock of the Novelty Steel Wheel Company was placed yesterday at special rates. Thomas H. McGowan, a Liberty street com mission merchant, sold 13,000 worth of produce one day this week, among which were three car loads of bananas at $1 50 per bunch. He is en tirely satisfied with the business situation. The drift of opinion on 'Change yesterday was that the failures on Fourth avenue would help legitimate business. None of the failures have been of sufficient importance to make an impression on values, but may have induced more caution. Dividends declared: First National Bank, Allegheny, 5 per cent; Monongahela National Bank, 3 per cent. Tho Exchange National Bank of Canal Dover, at Canal Dover, O., capital $50,000, has been authorized to commence business. Movements In Itenl Estate Buyers and sellers of real estate were handi capped by the weather yesterday, and tho result was a quiet day. A number of deals weie closed up, however, among them being tbe following: W. A. Herron t Sons sold lots 11 and 12 In Pittsburg Bank for Savings plan, on Hatfield street. Seventeenth ward, for GjO each. Size of lots, 20x84 feet This closes out all the lots in that plan. Reed B.

MOVEMENTS IN STOCKS. A Quiet Market and Price Changes Gen ernlly for Fractions. Stock trading was very slow yesterday, the sales footing up only 120 shares. Nothing.in the way of business was done at tbe first call. Tbe industrial situation and recent failures were discussed, and the conclusion reached that the present is a good time to go slow. There were a good many price changes, but the most of them were for fractions. The close was steady at about medium figures. first second third call. call. call.

NOTHING TO "WEEP OVER. Pittabnre Finances Are In Good Sbnpe, Whatever 3Iny Hnpprn. There was a fairly active money market yes terday, but new features were scarce. Business men of all grades are disposed to pursue a con servative course until the labor agitation shall subside; hence, they only patronize the banks when tbe exigencies of business demand it. Country banks have Invested in considerable Pittsburg paper within the last few days, but the supply continues large. Regular customers are usually accommodated at 6 per cent, but others are taxed 7. The Clearing Honse statemont shows great activity in general trade, which is all tbe more gratifying since it shows confidence in the early and peaceful renewal of the disturbing Influ ences which are at work all over the civilized world.

The oil market yesterday was the best for some but not so much, perhaps, in the way of business as in confidence of a permanent im provement in the near future. Orders are com ing in more freely, and tho outlook presents many encouraging features. The first sale was at 84. There was not much change until about 1 o'clock, when, on the shorts attempting to coyer and reports of a bullish pipe line report, the price was boomed to S6.

There are 15 rigs up around the big Vander gnft gusher on the Young farm at Groveton, with two wells down 500 feet and four drilling in the '-Big Injun" sand that will be due in about 10 or 12 days, so that operations promise to bo lively in that territory during May, Around the Griffith well on tbe Whitesell farm, at Wildwood, there are 13 wells drilling at various aeptns. xne forest uu company, which is one of the owners of the Griffith well, is preparing to drill its No. 1 on the Israel Weirich farm in the Washington field to the fifth sand. The well is one of the oldest in the territory. It has been completed through tbe Gordon, and U now doing six barrels a day from the Gantz.

Railroad Shnres Continue to Show Tlentv of Bnckbone The Bear 3Inke a Raid, but 3Icel n De cisive Dcfent. Newiork, May L The stock market was again active and strong to-day, the tone of the dealings being more pronounced than at any time during tbe present rise. The reaction toward the close of yesterday and tbe prospect of trouble over the labor demonstrations were made the basis for an attack at the opening this morning by the bears. The fact that to-day is a holiday in London and no market there might act as a sustaining influence upon ours was also an inducement to try the hammering process, but advices Irorn the other side showed everything was passing off without disturbance of any kind, and the sellers ot yesterday came in as buyers, and tbe rally was so sudden and sharp there was no time to recoup anything like the figures of tbe opening. Demonstrations against values gave the mar ket au unsettled aonearance at the opening. The most active shares were slightly lower last evening, but trading had not been in progress five minutes before tbe market developed a strong tone and 'the bears soon withdrew. News from the West upon tbe railroad situa tion made the Grangers leaders in the upward movement. Rock Island and St. Paul leading off, followed by Atchison, Northwestern and Cnicago gas. There "vere rumors of many kinds, mostly of a bearish tenor, but that sort of talk is now at a discount and no attention is paid 10 it whatever. Later in the day the Vanderbilts took up the upward march and all of the group made sharp advances, even New York tfcutral showing a gain or 2 per cent. The unlisted department was quiet, but Sugar Refineries was active as usual and made a band some advance, closing at its top figure The close working oi tbe money market to ward the close of tbe day was due entirely to payments incident to tbe first of the month, and caused some more selling, and prices again sagged toward delivery hour, but tee buying at tbe concessions again assumed Ihrgo propor tions, and the market closed active and strong at about the best figures reached. ) Among the specialties which attracted most attention by reason of the strength displayed, were Oregon Short Line, Flint and Pere Mar- Suette, and San Francisco preferred. St. Paul, nlon Pacific, Sugar and Atchison were lead ing active shares. Tbe entire list is higher this evenitigand FUntand Pere Marquettdis up 2, Ban Francisco preferred 2, Burlington and Bie Fonr easy X, Short' Line, PaciBc Mail, TaIta Hhore and Chlraco eras each 1&.

Railroad bonds are Btill active and strong with Atchison issues, Texas Pacific seconds and Atlantic and Pacific 4s most prominent in dealings, but the upward movement was not so pronounced as usual of late and important gains are lower in number. Sales reached 2,084,000 shares. Government bonds hava been dull, atid State bonds have been dull without feature. The J'oat says1 The average rise in prices of stocks since April 1 has been just about 3 per cent. Out of 121 stocks given in table of prices for the month, 62 show advances of 3 per cent or more. It is noticeable, however, stocks that have advanced most are those which in many instances had poorest prospects, for, notably the coal stocks, which had so bad a year for their especial business in half a dozen, Dela ware and Hudson is up 14 points, Rochester and Pittsburg 19,and Lackawanna 9. After the most conspicuous are St. Paul common and pre ferred. Denvor and Rjo Grande preferred, Rio Grande Western preferred, northern Pacific preferred, and Louisville and Nashville, all are up from 6 to 9 points. Aside from ihis men tioned, tbe general rise in prices for the month has been nothing more remarkable than might have been expected, as tbe natural upward re action from long and consequently depressing continued through the first three months of the year as the effect of apprehensions of tight mony. Greater part of the upward reaction would have come sooner or later without any talk of silver legislation, because stocks have been depressed, yet the general prospects of railroad business bas been steadily improving for three months. Whatever effect actual sil ver legislation may have on prices ot stocks is yet to come. ine following table shows the prices or active stocks on the New York stock Exchange yester day.

PRICES FOR POTATOES. An Abnndant Supply Following tbe Recent Scarcity The Enrly Crop In the South Cut Short Choice Varieties Pcnrcc. The strong prices of potatoes a week or two ago has brought to our markets a big run, and tbe result is a decline in prices. Markets are glutted with poor stock, and cboice stock is In a measure depressed. The views of commission men vary as to. values of potatoes. Following are the views of Liberty street commission merchants. Said one: "Potato market is in a bad shape. Markets are overstocked and the range of prices for carload lots, on track, is 45c to 55c per bushel. The best stock are to be bad at the latter figure." Another commission merchant said: "There has been for a few days past a great rush of in ierior potatoes to this market, aud prices are lower than they have been for anv time this season. Choice stock, however, has held its own, notwithstanding tbe depression, and we havn no trouble selling our good goods at 80c per bushel. Our advices from the South show that the early crop of early potatoes Is not more than one-halt the average, and that It Is fully two weeks behind time, because of early frosts. The reduced prices of potatoes are on inferior stock. I Ond it difficult to get all the choice stock I need, and in tho present weak condi tion of markets am storing away all of this grade I can get, in tbe assurance that prices are bound to go up at an early day." Another commission merchant said: "The price of potatoes In Chicago, for first-class stock, is 40c per bushel, and, with 12c added for freight, the lay-down price here is 52c per bushel. Last month the lay-down price was 65c per bushel for tne same grade of stock. However, I am confident that there will be an advance within a few days. Tha poor stock with which our markets have been flooded of late will be soon worked oil, and good potatoes aro bound to go up. In my opinion we will see choice potatoes up to SI per bushel befcre tbe month of May will finish its career, and. in this faith, I am gathering in all the good stock of fered." .HYPNOTIC POSSIBILITIES. The Power Can be Transmitted by Mnil and Itlnr be Sent br Telegraph. The London Lancet is responsible for the statement that the dangerous influence of hypnotism can now be sent by mail. It is said a certain Dr. Bramwcll in London can not only subdue the will of those subjects with whom he comes in contact, but be can actually ao bis magic Dower up in a piece of paper, inclose it in an envelope and stamp it, and then a la Haggard's "She," "blasts" from afar. This power, it is said, comes in the order, "60 to sleep, by order ot' Dr. Bramweil." Why should this business by delayed by the slow process of the mails? "Why not hypnotize by telegraph? A man is hurt in Cincinnati, and there is no hypnotizer at hand. A "go to sleep" order is requested and at once received by telegraph. A burglar wants to smooth the way for a successful dark lantern inspection of his neighbor's valuables, requests that these neighbors be put to sleep. Moreover, what an oppor tunity for election frauds Dr. Bramwell's newly-discovered power would open upl A sleeping order could be sent to the judges and clerks at a preconcsrted time and tbe count conld then go on alter tbe most ap proved first .ward methods. Or, better still, the whole political opposition on elec tion day conld be hypnotized by the party that first retained Dr. Bramweil, 1890. DOMESTIC MARKETS. Elgin Creamery Bnller is in Short Supply and Very Firm. MARKET FLOODED WITH POTATOES. Shell Corn Keeps Climbing Down, Owin? to Large Eeceipts. WHEAT, OATS AND FLOUR AKB STEADY OFFICE OF PITTSBURO DISPATCH, 1 .Thubsday, May 1, 1890. J Country Produce Jobbing Prices. The supply of Elgin creamery butter has been short for a day or two past and stock is very firmly held at quotations. A week or two ago markets were very slow and stock was disposed to accumulate. Now tne reverse Is true. There are over 1,000 tubs of Elgin creamery received in this market every Friday. Receipts of last Friday failed to hold out, and all dealers report a shortage. Country rolls are in abundant sup ply, and markets are fairly steady at quota tions. Potatoes are weak, and only tbe best stock brings quotations. Markets are flooded with poor stock, and for this prices are only nominal. A tolerably good potato i3 like a tol erably good egg, no good; and. as there has been a large run of this inferior grade the past week or two. prices are drooping. Choice stock, however, manages to hold its own, and on this grade holders are not disposed to con cede. There is a strong undertone of confidence in the future of markets for a good quality of potatoes.

A Rally All Along tho Line With Dealings on a Large Scale Dry Weather and Unfavorable Crop News Pork Stronger. CHICAGO Trading in wheat was on a large scale again to-day, and there was considerable excitement during tbe session, accompanied by a sharp advance in prices. May opened lc higher, and advanced le more, fell back 2e, again advanced 4c and closed 5c higher than yesterday. June advanced 4c and closed 4c higher. July opened lljc higher than yesterday's closing, advanced lKa more, eased off slightly, ruled unsettled and closed about 4c higher than yesterday. Buying orders came pouring in from all sec tions, tbe country being again well represented on the buying side. Local operators traded more heavily, the wider fluctuations giving more scope tor speculative ventures. The conrse of prices was attended with very sudden fluctuations, with May at times selling at a premium and then at a discount compared with June. Tbe chief influence on the market was the continued dry weather In the North west and tbe receipt of unfavorable crop news from the winter wheat distnct- There was a large trade in com and the feel ing was considerably firmer, the bulk of tbe business being at higher prices. The better tone was actuated largely by the advance in wheat. Operations were very irregular, there being a very large amount of changing of all futures, mere was an active demand irom local shorts and good general open bnying, es pecially for July. The market opened at yc advance over the closing prices of yester day and advanced c, reacted e, ruled firm and closed JaSJic higher than yesterday. There was a decided increaso in the volume of business in oats and a strong tone to the market. The conrse of values was influenced to a considerable degree by tnat of wheat and corn. Light deliveries and dry weather in tbe West, together with a brisk demand at higher prices for futures, caused good buying, espe cially by shorts, and Drices were npKc- A reaction of Kc followed the advance, but the market again gathered strength and ad- vanced higher than before. Tbe close was firm at nearly tbe outside of the day. An active trade was reported in mess pork, bnt prices ruled rather irregular, within a mod erate range. At the opening tbe feeling was rather firm and prices were advanced 510c Later an easier feeling was developed and prices receded 1015c During tbe latter part of tbe session the market was stronger and prices rallied 4050c, but extreme figures were not fully supported. Quite an active business was transacted in lard and the market was stronger. Opening sales were made at about 5c advance, wblch wa followed by a further improvement of 7 10c, especially on tbe deferred deliveries. Later a slight reaction occurred, but near the close more steadiness prevailed and prices ral lied again, the market closing comparatively steady. Considerable Interest was manifested in ribs and the feeling was stronger. Sales at tbe opening were made at 5c advance, aud wm fol lowed by a further appreciation of 67c Later there was a little more pressure to sell and prices receded 25c and closed steady.

First With One Paw Tben With ths Other smd tbe Man Had Enough. New Tork Herald. John Searies, a leading citizen of San Bernardino, is one of tbe few men who have) lived to tell how it feels to be hit by a grizzly. A few years ago he met a large bear in the mountains near Fort Tejon and shot him in the shoulder. Before he conldi reload .the bear rnshed at him and cuffed him on the head, first with one paw then with the other. The first blow tore off a part of Searies' scalp and tbe second smashed bis jaw and knocked him end over end down tbe hillside. Searies was nearly senseless when he fell, bnt he had a vague consciousness of being rolled over two or three times, and felt tho bear's hot breath npon his lace before ha lost his senses entirely. The bear did him. no more injury, evidently supposing him to be dead. - When baby was sick, we gave her Castorla, ' When she was a Child, she cried for Castorla, When she became Miss, she clung to Castorla, When she had Ch.ildren.3he gave them CastorU ' aDO-77-jrwTSu 12 AND 514 SM1THFIELD STREET. j?ITTa35XJTtG, 3P-A.
