IKON TRADE REVIEW.
There Is Practically Ko Change in
the Local Situation.
PRICES THE SAME AS A TEAR AGO.
Eedcced Freights HaTe Stimulated Pi?
Iron in the South.
THE JIAEX-TS BOTH EAST AND WEST
In iron and steel the situation is practi
cally the same as it was a week ago. It any
difference markets are a shade weaker.
There are rumors of mill iron selling below
515 per ton, but diligent search failed to
discover auy sales of standard brands under
this figure. "When markets touched the 515
figure about a week ago large quantities
changed hands, buyers believing that bot
tom had been reached. Tor a lew days past
demand has been light.
The price of grey forge iron was the same
a year ago as it is now, and then the cost of
production was much less than now. On
May day, 1SS9, Bessemer iron sold here at 16 75
per ton. Prices now are S17 50. and the cost of
producing is now S2 per ton greater than it was
a year ago.
At present prices of coke and ore furnace
men cannot come ont even unless they enjoy
spcal advantages in location. At the Edgar
Thomson works, where the Proprietors manu
facture their own coko and the Uessemer iron
is worked np into steel rails, there is no doubt
& handsome profit, but the great majority of
iron producers mut be playing a losing game
at the present price of raw materials. Nails
are still movinr downward. The card rate at
Wheeling has been lowered to $1 80 per keg the
past week. At these ritmres it is hard to see
where tho manufacturer rinds his profit.
Furnacemen who are able to do so withhold
their products at present prices. Only small
concerns are pushiug their stock on to market.
There is a general feeling of confidence that
the worst is past and that f utnre changes must
be upward. A satifactorvadiustment r l.ihr
troubles nonld, without doubt, give a stimulus
to markets.

New Orders for noutliern Pig Iron and Ohio
Softeners.
rirxcux. ?hwc to ts mri.Tcn.i
Chicago, May 2. Rogers, Brown fc Co. say:
Notwithstanding labor troubles wo have to re
port a very satisfactory business in pig iron.
New orders come in freely for Southern iron,
Ohio softeners and local coke irons. There is
no change in values worth mentioning, but
there is much absence of the demoralization that
existed early in April, and the market for all
grades has a well-defined bottom, thongh it's
too late for tho prosperity of furnaces either
.North or South.
Lake Superior ore men continue to bold firm
and to maintain the position that the great
bulk of IS90 oro is sold and reductions in prices
cannot be made. Furnace men hold that prices '
asked cannot be paid for making into pig iron
to sell on a market like this.

Reduced Fieicht Rates Stimulate Shipments
of rig Iocrensed Consumption.
tSI'ECIAL TXLKPBAlt TO TBE DISPATCIM
BiBMrxanAjr, ALA., slay 2. The only new
feature of importance in the iron trade this
week was the announcement of a further re
duction of freight rates. A reduction of 10
cents per ton on pig to all Ohio and Mississippi
river points went into effect May J. This is im
portant as a number of large shipments to
western points were made as soon as the rate
went into effect. The reason for this sudden
taking advantage of the reduction is that iron
men expect an early advance in the price of
Iron and a consequent advance of freight rates.
Iron already sold and shipments on contracts
are being rushed off while the rate is low. By
an agreement between the railroads and the
Iron men rates are regulated by the price of
Iron.
The output this week has been about the
same as last, but stocks on hand have been re
duced somewhat on account of the large shiD
ments Thursday and Friday.
Mav 1 has pased without the threatened
labor troubles and Iron and coal men now feel
confident there will be no strike this summer.
They were uneasy for awhile, fearing that an
advance of wages wonld be insisted upon be
fore the corresponding advance in the price of
iron occurred.
The local consumption of pie has been in
creased 75 tons per day bv the resumption ot
work at the Birmingham Rolling Mills, which
have been idle two months on account or a
strike.
The demand for all grades of pig continues
steady with large sales of the higher grades,
iso long time contracts are beine made, buyers
seemingly being hopelul of a lurther decline
during the summer. Manufacturers are well
pleased with this condition of affairs as they
expect a slight advance.
Shipments during the week were principally
to Cincinnati. St. Louis, Chicago and points
further W est Several small lots were shipped
to points East. vv
rURKACES TO BE BASKED
If the Demand for Pig Iron Does Not Soon
Improve.

Philadelphia. May 2. The conditions of
the iron market have not changed materially
since last week. If the demand for pig iron
does not soon Improve is quite probable that
a number of furnaces w a be banked. A few
not now operated are all ready to be put in
blast upon the first indication of a permanent
improement. It is reported that considerable
business in force iron was closed through tho
week around $16 per ton, delivered at tide. A
tood demand for shipbuilding matenalwas
also noted. Manufactured iron is quite firm
and mills are busy.
A fair range of quotations Is SIS 5019 00 for

Fruits nnd Vegetables Selling Wen Qual
ity of btrnwbrrrles Improving
Good Demand for Flowers
tuples Unclinuccd.
There is little new to report in the depart
ment with which housewives are most con
cerned. At the fruit and vegetable stalls a
good week's trade is reported, with very little
variation from last Saturday's prices. The
quality of seasonable fruits and vegetables,
however, shows improvement. Strawberries
are in much better shape than they have been
for a week or two past. Choice tropical fruits
are higher in a jobbing way, but at retail are
unchanged.
In tho line of lake and ocean products, there
has been a scarcity of white fish and salmon from
Western waters the past few days. Supply has
not been up to demand. Fromthe East there
has been a fair supply of shad, cod and had
dock, but none too many for the wants of
trade. The oyster season is over, so far as sup-
flies from the Chesapeake is concerned, llary
and and Virginia laws forbid the gathering of
oysters after April. Only -New York counts
will be found on the fisn stalls the rest of the
season.
Florists report trade lively with no change in
prices. The quality of their goods keeps
steadily improving under the influence of sun
shine ana timely snowers. bociety events the
past week are making florists happy, as well as
a number of brides and grooms, who have
chosen the early days of Jilay for the great

lay: There are no new features in the market
beyond those described in last reports. Demand
still continues large and well distributed.
There is more activity iu Ohio irons than be
fore noted, but Southern brands still continue
to receive the most attention. Selling has not
been so heavy the past week, as the week pre
vious, but it has been liberal and has been
sufficient to maintain tho firm feeling already
described among the furnaces.
There are buyers who still look f orlower prices
and continue to hold off. Indications point to
a well sustained market and continued free
purchases, as values are low and consumption
is running heavy in all directions. Some round
orders were placed for Lake Superior charcoal

It is a great mistake to think that high
prices for real estate phenomenal jumps
here and there which the thoughtless take
pride in spreading broadcast as something
great and praiseworthy are helpful to bus
iness. They have the contrary effect. They
not only embarrass the brokers, but injure
owners' chances of selling. This fact has
been stated time and again in the city pa
pers, bnt it cannot be repeated too often.
Inflation is the bane of all business, and
none feel its bad effects quicker than real
estate.
Messrs. Anderson & Bceckman, in the course
of a brief interview yesterday, mentioned two
or three cases of kite-flying which are admira
ble illustrations of its folly. They made an of
fer of S15.000 for three acres on Black Horso
HilL It was refused, the owner saying that he
might possibly accept S10.000 an acre As they
knew they would be unable to get a customer
for the property at anything like that figure
they dropped the deal there and then. Just
across the street from the locality indicated
lots 25x100 are selling for S400.
A few days ago an offer of $4,000 an acre for a
considerable body of land on Herron Hill was
refused, the owner saying that that price didn't
como within gunshot of the figure he had set.
The chances are that both of these properties
will remain unsold for a long time unless tv
millionaire takes a fancy to them. It should
be remembered that there is a point beyond
which buyers will not and cannot go. The only
way to maintain an active movement in realty
Is to adhere to fair prices. Forced values will
drive buyers out of the market.

much interest they are watched maybe seen
by the fact that they have on their southeast

800 barrels each, with Corbltt No. 8, doing In
the neighborhood of a hundred barrels, only a

rsrxciAi. TBLXonjLir to ths dispatch.:
Washington, Pa., May 2. The Fitzwilliam
well, south of developments, is drilling in the
Gantz. with 500 feet of oil in the hole. This oil
was obtained before expected, and if the well
gets the usual pay streak in the bottom of the
sand, it will make a good producer.
Aiken & Cc.'s Haggerty No. 1 has been com
pleted, and is good for 35 barrels.
The Galley wildcat, an important one in Am
well township, has been drilled through the
Gantz, and is dry in that horizon. The owners
will drill it deeper and make a thorough test of
all the lower strntas.
-S. P. Fergus & Co.'s Le Moyne. on the south
eastern edge of developments, is making 25
barrels. The salt water has been exhausted,
and it will make a good investment tor the
owners, who will probably drill another well in
the vicinity.
The Washington and Union Oil companies
have wells in the Claysvilie field which will be
in shortly. The Claysvilie district is now the
most active in the county, and as over 25 wells
are drilling in tho vicinity, some interesting de
velopments are looked for.

Movement Shares Somewhat Fever
lsh Nearly all Important
Changes Advance.''
New Yokk, May 2. The stock market still
maintains its moderate activity, although the
business done at present is far in excess of that
for the past two years. To-day the market was
somewhat more feverish than usual of late, and
efforts to bring about a reaction met with some
little success in the general list. Almost all the
important changes for the day are advances.
The news of the day was not of particular im
portance. In the meantime the market halts a
little, waiting on developments.
The feverishness and late weakness in the
market to-day was occasioned almost entirely
by realizations, which were in most instances
the result of a desire to close out deals for the
week, to-morrow being a half holiday. The
fluctuations in most of the list were not speci
ally important. The bears had the help of re
ports of cutting of rates by the Eastern Min
nesota, and decrease In the earnings of St.
Paul for March.
Among the specially strong features to-day
was Chicago Gas in the forenoon.
Oregon Transcontinental later became leader
of the advauces on a very large business, rising
2 per cent. Manhattan, Wheeling and Lake
Erie and the San Francisco stocks made sharp
upward turns, though the San Francisco com
mon lost all of its gains and something addi
tional, and is one of the few stocks showing a
material loss at the close of the day.
The market closed active and rather heavy
and generally at slight concessions from open
ing figures. The undertone market continues
firm. Tho majority of the list is in small frac
tions. The only marked losses were San Fran
cisco 1, Rock Island and Colorado Coal 1 per
cent each, while San Francisco nreferred is ,
Manhattan 1, Wheeling and Lake Erie 1,
Oregon Transcontinental 1 per cent.
Trusts were more active to-day, especially
lead, but their gains were slight. Railroad
bonds were more active to-day, sales of issues
reaching $219,000; Texas Pacific seconds, the
Atchison issues, the Atlantic and Pacific is
sues, Wabash seconds and Oregon Transcon
tinental sixes as active features. There was
only one strong point in the market, however,
the Kansas and Texas certificates. Final
changes are In a few cases for more than frac
tional amounts. East Tennessee firsts and
C edar Falls firsts were specially weak, but
many inactive issues traded in scored material
gains over their last sales.
Government bonds dull and steady; State
bonds have been dull and featn reles; petro
leum firm at 85, moved up 86Ji in early trad
ing: the market then reacted and closed steady
at 85. Stock Exchanee opened at 8- high
est 86, cl' sing at 85. Consolidated Exchange
opened at 86. highest 86. lowest 85. closine
at 85; total sales. 319,000 barrels.
The Post say London has been the most im
portant factor in the advance in the stock mar
ket during the last week, especially in the last
lew days. This is shown by the increase of se
curity hills in the exchange market noticed by
all the exchange dealers in the last day or two.
This argues well for a continuance of the advance-
In prices, because London is at first
rather slow to sympathize with advance, which
was initiated by professional speculators here
and in Chicago. Even yet speculation in stocks
is confined almost entirely to the mass of pro
fessional speculators as distinguished from
what the street calls the "general public."

Country Produce Jobblne Prices.
Friday's trade in this line was fully up to
standard, judging by the activity along Lib
erty street. There is a good demand for choice
tropical frmts, and bananas are a shade higher
than at our last report. The quality of straw
berries on tho market snows improvement over
recent offerings, and demand is fully up to sap
ply. Good cabbage is scarce and firm. Pota
toes are In bountiful supply, and markets show
weakness. Good stock, however,is firmly held,
and there is a strong undertone of confidence
among commission meu that prices must ad
vance in a short time. In this faith heavy

Markets have developed no new features
since our last report. Tt)e situation is in favor
of buyers, with wheat and flour as the excep
tions. Receipts of shell corn are very heavy,
and prices are down to a lower notch, as our

MARKETS BY WIEE.
The Advance in Wheat Sustained, nnd Fol
lowed by n Bulge In Corn nnd
Onti Pork Wa Almost
Loit toMsht.
CHICAGO Tradine in wheat was large to
day, and a nervcus feeling existed, with prices
subject to rapid fluctuations. Operators were
considerably puzzled which way to act wheth
er to follow tbe market for a further advance,
or take to the short side. Ono thing was cer
tain, however, there was some heavy realizing
on long wheat to-day, and at ther samo time good
buying on the breaks. The opening wa3 22c
lower for May and June, advanced lc for tbe
former and 2c for tbe latter, and closed about
IJjdower for May and ljc lower for June than
yesterday. July opened la lower, fluctu
ated within a small range for a while, and then
sold up to a point lc above the inaide figure,
declined e. ruleu irregular, and closed ln
lower than yesterday.
Tbe weak opening was attributed to general
pressure to realize, traders being pretty well
loauea witn long wueac. ana leic a little nerv
ous, fearing a break In prices. Dry weather,
which was tbe foundation of yesterday's sharp
rally, continues in the Northwest. Later ad
vices reported cloudy, and It as the prospect
of rain which Induced selling. The future of
the market will, to a certain extent, depend on
the weather.
Corn The firm feeling developed In corn yes
terday was continued to-day, and a still further
advance was established on all futures. Ihe
volume ot business was heavy and tbe market
was nervous and irregular, price changes being
frequent within 1c. The firm tone was attrib
uted largely to tbo cash demand, large ship
ments and to the receipts falling short of ex
pectations. Tho market opened excited and
unsettled at about closing prices of yesterday,
but soon became strong, and gradually ad
vanced lc. reacted Kc, ruled firmer and
closed Sc better than yesterday.
There was an active oats market and a sharp
advance, but outside figures were not main
tained until the close. The continued dry
weather and the advance in wheat and corn
were tbe prime causes for the strong feeling'
and appreciation of lVJlc Tne offerings
were not large daring the early part of tbe
session, and prices were bid np with little oppo
sition. The bulge, however, induced free sell
ing and prices receded c and tbe market
closed steady at a net advance of Xc.
Pork This article attracted little attention;
Opening orders were made at 2c decline, and
a further reduction of 202oc followed. About
the middle of tbe session an advance of 2025c
was gained, but flcilly settled back again 20
25c, closing quiet.
Only a moderate trade was reDorted in Iard.
.and the feeling was about steady. Prices ex-
nioiteu very nine cnange.
A fair trade was reported in short ribs and
the feeling was comparatively steady. Prices
exhibited very little change.
