New Yobk, May 8 The Iron Age re
port of the market is as follows: On the
whole, taking the entire ranee ot the mar
ket, the iron trade in this section remains
verr dull, and with very few exceptions
prices alone the line still exhibit a droop
ing tendency. There are some indications
in some lines that buyers are coming into
the market with a little concession below the
prices quoted. Acoodmanyln the trade who
were persistently sanguine until lately now
arow that they see nothing to jnstifythe ex
pectation of a notable recovery until toward
the close of the summer. The majority of sell
ers now look forward to a dragging market for
Borne time to come. .
American pig-&ome sellers report some
what improved demand in moderate lots, but
usuallv bincrs expect to do better than sellers
are willing to name, and occasionally they with
draw from the market. Some of the leading
Southern companies have advanced their ash
ing prices, bavins for the present booked suffi
ciently large orders for the future. For 0.1
Southern J16 7517 00 is now the ruling price,
while No. 2foundry is quotable at $16 2o16 50;
Northern iron range from ?18 O0Q19 OO lor No.
1, and SIT OOglT 50 for No. 2 foundry. Four
large Eastern malleable i. on works are in the
market for about 17.000 tons of charcoal pie. on
which sellers quote on the basis of $20 50 at
Buffalo for Lake Superior, for delivery during
the season of navigation.
Steel Rails Kutnors of low prices named are
very numerous, reports from good sources
stating that S32 at Eastern mills has been sllght
Iv shaded in recent transactions. The business
is light, however, ana $32 5033 00 is freely
quoted, the latter for small lots. At tidewater
$33 has been named, winch would be $32 00
Si 25 according to location of mllL Pittsburg
mills give sales aggregating about 10.000 tons,
and quote from $323t. A cood deal depends
upon the time ot iteliverv. some of the mills
East and West being well booked
up to Julv, while others are ready to make
deliveries earlier. The Chicago mills are re
ported to have booked very heavily during the
pat few weeks, and are said to be weH sup
plied with orders into midsummer. Some
larse matters are still coming up. Thus a con
tract forSOO miles of road was let recentlv be
tween Sioux City and Ogden, and the Manitoba
Is contemplating extensions. In the South one
large order is expected to appear in the market
at an early date. The Canadian roads are re
ported to have placed about 30.000 tons in En
gland, the American mills losing the business.
Spiegeleisen and ferro-manganese The
market is verv quiet, no sales of spiegeleisen
of any con.-equence having taken place during
the week. We quote nominally $31 5032 00.
In f erro there are occasional sales of spot and
quick dpliverv at $S3b5. while futures ire gen
erally held at'$78i)U, w ith rumors of offers as
low as $77.

$26 2526 SO, have an unsettlinc effect, since
"Western makers continue to offer in the West
at equivalent prices, the freight being $2 60.
make the price delivered a shade under $23.
Wire rods There is a moderate inquiry,
with prices east of the Allegbemes quoted at
$4145.

Old rails One of the trnnk lines has, during
the week, sold about 10,000 tons of old rails, the
price realized being given at $24.
Old steel rails The situation is a peculiar
one. Small lots can be picked up from time
to time, for mixed length, at $19 00(220 00, sties
having been made at that range. Larger lots
are being held at much higher prices, as high as
$21 00 being asked. Comparatively few old steel

New Yoek, May 8. The -fron Age to-day
publishes the following special cible report of
the London metal market: Pig iron warrants
have been more active, and while prices are
yet irregular, the market shows better form
under the influence "f continued withdrawals
lrom store and damping of furnaces, owing to
comparatively high cost ot production. These
circumstances were the principal cause of an
advance in prices that took place during the
week. Outside speculators have been buying
more extensively in a quiet way, and
the belief obtains that anything below 45 for
Scotch warrants is a safe purchase. The "bear"
party has not retired, but show some unca,i-ne-s,
and have made some attempt to cover
their over siles, meanwhile manipulating to
prevent any considerable advance. Scotch
warrants advanced to 46s 3d, and Cleveland to
46s, but reacted to 45s 2d and 44s 6d at the close
Tuesday, with hematites at 54s 6a. To-day
there were sale" at 44a bd for Scotch, 43 6d for
Cleveland and 55s 6d for hematites. The Park
side Mining Company, Cumberland, have
closed their iron ore mines, and will remain
idle until labor is cheaper. Special brands of
tinplate have been in good demand, and for
thee extra prices have been paid, but in ordi
nary sorts business is stil moderate. The re
duction in the cost of steel bars has
helped to strengthen outside makers, who evi
dently have confidence in the future of the
market. The new Eagle works have been reg
istered; capital, 24,000. The Ashburnham
works, operating lour mills, have started up.
Cessation or American buying and desire of lo
cal speculators to realize on contracts due
caused a reaction in prices of block tin, under
which there was a fall to 91 5s. Since this
liquidation the market has turned for the bet
ter, closing at 92 10s. Tuesday, with sales at
92, spot, and 92 15s., futures.
Copper has been in good demand and prices
are stronger throughout. Large sales have
been made of sheets and yellow metal for India
account. French holders have sold heavily of
their stock and a large business in furnace ma
terial has been done also. Sales recently of the
latter include L300 tons Anaconda argentifer
ons. private terms, 5S3 tons Anaconda Matter at
9s9d: 200 tons Anaconda Matter at 10c. and
212 tons Anacnda Matter at 10s ljd, all to ar
rive in Liverpool. The prospects lor the future
in the copper market are considered bright.

a dividend of 3 per cent and carried forward

fSritCtXI. TrLKQRAM TO TU DISPATCH.!
SCOTTDAI.E. Mav8. Noperceptible improve
ment is noted in trade since last report, and it
remains in the same old rut. The same general
features also characterize it. One or two of the
lire j companies report a further falling off In
orders, but notwithstanding there Is an air of
confidence that indicates that trade will soon
take a cpurt, though the rather rosy outlook is
now threatened by a strike at the Frick works.
The car supply was as good last week as
usual, while production and shipments were
materially reduced, yet it was a fair week's
trade, llainey's works made six days as did
the Cambria Iron Company and the Percy
Minin: Companr. me Stewart works would
bave made six days, but cars did not reach
them in time one day. Shipments for last week
were 90 cars less tnan the week before, when
tbo works operated four and five days.
A FAIR WEEK'S SHIPMENTS.
The shipments averaged about 994 cars per
day against 1,009 cars of the week previous.
The coke was distributed to the various points of
consumption, as follows: To the points west of
Pittsburc 3,375 cars; to Pittsburg and river
points, 1,470 cars; to points east of Pittsburg,
1,125 cits, giving a grand total of 5,990 cars.
Shipments for the wee previous, with a total
6,050 cars, were consigned thus: To points
we-t of Pittsburg. 3,500 cars: to Pittsburg and
river points. 1,350 cars; to points east of Pitts
burg. 1,200 cars. It win oe seen that Western
shipments fell off 125 cars, while Eastern ship
ments decreased only 75 cars. Pittsburg ship
ments increased 120 cars. The Western con
signments decreased by the reason of a couple
furnaces closing down.
Leisenring No. 1 plant may be closed down
for a couplo of months on account of a new
tipple that Is to be erected, together with other
improvements. Two hundred anu six ovens
were blown at the Valley plant last Saturday
and uow that plant is extinct, as the other 44
ovens were extinguished a Tew weeks ago.
The Hecla Coke Company will likely fire some
of the new ovens at Traugers' station shortly.
Rainey's works still operate in full, and it has
been announced that he will erect 200 addi
tional ovens this year. The Southwest Coal
aud Coke Company will make the five-day run
next week.
FBEIGHIS AND PKICES.
The following prices for coke are still being
maintained: Furnace coke, J2 15; foundry,
2 45; crushed, 2 65, all on board cars at ovens
per ton of 2,000 pounds.

WHAT BEAIi ESTATE MEN ARE D0ISG
It is known that seTeral large deals in
East End property have been consummated
within the last three weeks, with which
rumor has associated the name of Mr. W. C.
Stewart The amonnt of money involved in
these transactions, there is authority for
stating, is cot less than $200,000. To obtain
particulars for the public, Mr. Stewart was
called on yesterday evening, bat he refnsed
to say anything ejther in direct confirmation
or denial of his connection with the deals,
but he remarked; "When the right time
conies and the inside facts are laid bare, the
croakers will bave to take back seats, as one
piece of the property in question was sold for
double the money asked for it fire months
ago."
Bis; Honnee Going Up.
At no previous time in the history of Pitts
burg have so many large and costly buildings
been in course of construction or projected as
are under way this season. Among thee may
be mentioned: The Dalxell law office building.
Fourth avenue and Grant street, to cost 100,
000; the Vaudergnft building, Fourth avenue,
cost about the same: the Ferguson building.
Third avenue, 175,000; the Bindley Hardwate
Company building. Grant and Seventh, S75.000;
the Seibert building, Penn ind Eighth, S100.000;
the Arbutbnot building, Penn avenue,
150,000; tne National Bank of Com
merce building. Wood and Sev
enth, $200,000: German National Bank,
Wood and Seventh, $300;000; Pittsbure Times
building, Fourth avenue. J150,000: Sterrett
building. Diamond, Allegheny, J75.000. Most
of these buildings have been commenced, and
ground will be broken for the rest In a short
time. The cost maybe more or less than
stated, but the figures are approximately cor
rect. Beside the buildings enumerated, there
are scores of dwellings, churches and school
houses under way or projected, the cost ot
which runs well np into the thousands. The
estimated cost of new buildings inlSS9was
8,362,821. Should there be no serious labor
trouble, that amount will be greatly exceeded
this year.
An Attractive Spot.
Neville Island is one of the beauty-spots of
Allegheny county. It constitutes a township
and contains a population of about TOO. The
principal industry is growing vegetables for the
Pittsburg market. Its melons and sweet corn
have more than a local reputation, and alwajs
command top prices. Among the buildings ot
note are two churches, Methodist and Presby
terian, and two school houses. The finest place
on the island is owned by John M. Chaplin,
manager of the Pittsbnrg Clearing House, but
there are many other handsome dwellings and
grounds. Three or four oil wells are being
sunk at the lower end of the island, with good
prospect of success. Extensive improvements
are contemplated to stey the ravages of the
river and to afford better transit facilities.
Among these are a railroad and a bridge. Citi
zens are very much interested in these projects,
and they will hold a public meeting in a short
time to agree upon a course ot action.

SO ORDERS FOB OIL.
The Market Qnie! anil Narrow as Usual
Field Notes.
Dullness was about the only feature of the
oil market yesterday. Thore were no orders
and traders were inclined to be merciful to each
other. Harry Smith led the hears. The open
ing was about steady at $4, advanced , at
which 1,000 barrels were sold, dropped a trac
tion, rallied a little and closed at 81, a cent
lower than the opening. Oil City was a light
seller. Pittsburg was choppy and Bradford
neutral. The range was: Opening 84J, highest
84. lowest SX1,. closing 84. Wednesday clear
ances were 348,000 barrels.
Field pews was as tame as the market, Tbe
O'Brien well was reported doing 500 barrels a
dav. It is retarded as a poor stayer. T. W.
Phillips' No. 6, on the May farm at Glade Run,
'is 32 feet in the sand and flowing 90 barrels a
day. The McLaughlin farm well in the West
view field, owned by the American Oil Com
pany, is due. The Straw well of tbe Robella
Oil Campauy, at Bellevue, will be in to-day or
to-morrow. Fall & Sbay have sold a one-fourth
intciestin tbeGourley farm, consi-ting of 180
acres ot lana in me uiavsvuie aisirict. to tne
Ehria, Ohio. Oil Company for $60,000. The
farmhMrix nroducing oil wells on it, whose
PITTSBUItG-'DISPTOHfftPRIDarr, 'MAS
production up to a few days ago aggregated 635
barrels a day, but which was swelled by their
last well coming in a 175-barrel producer.
There are three other wells drilling.

TWO TEST BBY WELLS.
The Old Arbncklo Gather Increase Her
Ouipuc Without Asllntlon.
The Southside field didn't show up much in
the way of gushers yesterday, but two very dry
dusters came to the fore. Ore was in 'Squire
Ferree's orchard, bored by Galley Bros., and
the other was on Alfred McCabe's place a few
rods below Montour and Pittsburg and
Lake Erie Railway junction, between the rail
way and the river. Both are reported to be
very dry. The status of the Kendall well bas
not yet been definitely ascertained. These are
all Coraopolis wells.
At Chanters station the O'Brien No. 2 still
held up verv nearly to ber Initial work. The
Arbuckle No. L the oldest well In the vicinity,
bas lately, without any stimulation whatever.
Increased ber output from 130 to 150 barrels a
day and acts altogether as though she bad
gotten her third wind. She acts. So say some
Keople, as though indicating, notwithstanding
er great gushing qualities at first, that she
isn't squarely over the center of the reservoir.
Arbuckle No. 6 will be in, D. V., before Dec
oration Day. ,
The product of the Anderson farm gas well
is being niped to the constellation of wells on
Chartiers creek. This is about all that makes
operations possible, as coal must be carried on
men's backs to reach some of them, or it would
be necessary to construct an aerial line.
GUSHERS AND DUSTERS.
Wells Being Drilled and Coming In In the
Washington Field.
tSPEClAL, TXLXORAM TO THE DISrATCH.1
Washington, Pa., May 8. The Wilson
well, owned by Murdoch & Co., .is drilling in
the Gantz sand and bas a showing of oil, not
enough, however, to make a producer. The
well is a highly important one, and its result in
the other sands are being carefully watched.
The owners tbluk it will make a good well in
the 50-foot, but the drill alone can determine
what it is good for.
The production of the ex-cusher on the Fitz
willtam bas fallen off to 50 barrels, but as this
Is better than was ever expected of it, the own
ers feel elated over their btrike.
The Lacock well has been drilled through all
the sands and is dry.
The old No. 1, on the Fergus farm, which
started off three years ago at 175 barrels au
hour, now makes 15 barrels a day. This
well was the foundation of the fortune which
puts S. D. Fergus In the front rank of Wash
ington county oil operators.
STOCKS MOVE SLOWLY.
Investors Waiting far, the Clouds to Pass
By -mull Chnnees.
Next to nothing was done at the stock mar
ket yesterday, sales being only 30 shares 20
Philadelphia Gas and 10 Citizens' Traction.
The first and last calls were goose eggs. In ex
planation of the dullness a broker remarked:
"There are so many disturbing influences
abroad labor agitation, the silver question and
tight money for speculation that investors
are holding onT. I look for very little Improve
ment nntil these matters are settled."
Price changes were few, and invariably for
fractions. Pleasant Valley, Switch and Signal
and Grocers Supply' were stronger. Philadel
phia and Wheeling Gas and westinghouse
Electric were the weak features. Conslderine
the extreme dullness the market may be de
scribed as firm. It was weak only from lack of
support.

The city of Cleveland has from time im

tatiohs received here to-day. from one of the
prominent packing homes of that city it is dis
covered that Pittsburg prices are lower than
those of Cleveland. Breakfast bacon in job
Iots'ls la above our home prices, and refined

Said one Of our leading-pork packers to-day:
'Cleveland has heretofore had the reputation
of being one of the cheapest markets of the
country for our line of goods, but we are now
selling as low as they in everything, and In
some things lower." . . ...
The day has evidently gone by when either
of Ohio's two leading cities can put forth any
claims to be rivals to Pittsburg.
NEW YOBK STOCKS.
Market Active In bnt Few Instances Gni
Slock Strong nnd Rnilrond Bonds
Livelier London Buys Llber-
nlly Spear Advances.
New Yoek, May 8. The stock market was
active for a few stocks, but rather quiet for the
general list to-day, and a feverish and irregular
tone marked the dealings almost from begin
ning to end. The conspicuously strong stocks
were Chicago Gas, Sugar Refineries, New
England and Burlington and Quincy, and
among the specialties Laclede Gas and Wis
consin Central, while the only stock displaying
an v real weakness during the day was Atchison,
which, however, recovered all its losses before
the close of business.
The true status of silver legislation was un
derstood 4n London this morning and as a con
sequence that center was again a liberal buyer
this morning and the London prices were
higher. Bnt the leading bears sold out: bulls
had determined to take advantage of the prev
alent opinion in the street that a reaction is due
and resisted the natural tendency of the mar
ket to advance with heavy short sales at the
opening. The transactions as usual in such
movements were chiefly in a few
stocks only, Oregon Transcontinental
responded more to the purpose
to any marked extent, thongh all the market
was drooping under the influence of the attack.
The bold buying of sugarxeflneries by a noted
operator, however, with the resl-tlng power in
the market at large, soon turned the course of
prices, and Chicago Gas followed Sugar with
the rest of the market tailing on. The trading
for the remainder of the day np to delivery
hour was comparatively small, with frequent
and narrow fluctuations and rapid changes
from weakness to strength and vice versa.
Chicago Gas, New England and Sugar were all
specially strong, and the buying of the former
is ascribed to a pool which Intends to compel
the shorts who are some of the most Influential
operators in Chicago to cover. The formation
of a new Anglo-American company, with the
avowed object of purchasing gas stocks in this
country, was alio an influence in making not
only that stock, but also Consolidated Gas aud
La Clede Gas specially strong and active.
New developments in the East were given as
the cause of the strength in New England, but
tbo late weakness in Atchison was for no ap
parent reason. The spurt in Burlington and
Quincy in the last bour was thought to fore
shadow some new developments in regard to
the Western rate situation, but nothing had
transpired' up to the close of business. The
market finally closed strong and active on the
late rally, with most of the list but slightly
changed from last night's prices, though gen
erally bicher. There were no Important declines,
while Laclede Gas is up 3. Sugar 2, Chicago
Gas 2. New England 1, Burlington and
Quincy 1, and Wisconsin Central 16c.
Rallroau bonds were again more active, and
the sales of all issues ran up to 32,981,000, with
a larger number of prominently active issues
than on any day for along time. The market
was strong all the way out. and the special
features were the Laclede Gas 5s, the Atni
sons and the Texas Pacifies. There were no
losses of importauce. and the advances include
Laclede Ga- 5s, 2, to S6
The Post savs: The news of the forenoon
was of a favorable turn, except the cutting of
rate by the lake lines. Railroad earnings
continue large, but the outlook for an early
settlement of the Western rate troubles has
improved within the past few days.
The war between the Grand Trunk
and the Northern Steamship Com
pany will not affect the trunk lines,
which will receive their full proportion on all
business. The general feeling continues
strongly bullish and favorable to a higher
range of prices tha.i yet reached. Out of 110
active Btocts en the list, 32 marked their lowest
prices this year in Febrnarv, 23 in
January. 23 in March and 17 in April. The
lowest point of the depression was reached
irom the 19th to the 25th of February. The
lowest prices made at various times in the tliat
fonr months, there bas now been an average
recovery of about 4 to 5 points. On tbe 35 most
active there bas been an average aavance of 8
points from their lowest prices, made in tbe
first four months, but it bas been very
unevenly distributed. The total net ad
vances from their lowest prices to
the present figures bave been: On
San Francisco preferred 18 points: Chicago Gas
17, San Francisco common and Manhattan, 14
each; Atchison and Milwaukee, Lake Shore and
Western common, 12; Lackawanna and Colo
rado Coal, 11; Northern Pacific preferred. Ore
gon Transcontinental and Wheeling and Lake
Erie common, 10; Canadian Pacific, Milwaukee,
Lake Shore and Western preferred, and
Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred, 9; Burling
ton and Qulncey, St. Paul, Northwestern,
Reading and Richmond Terminal preferred, 8;
Canada Southern, Denver. Texas and Ft.
Worth, Lake Shore and Missouri Pacific, 7;
Lake and Erie Western preferred. 6; Rock
Island, Union Pacific, Wisconsin Central and
Western Union, 4; Richmond Terminal, 3.
New England, Chicago Gas and Sugar Trust
are being manipulated by a well known large
speculator and were advanced by him in tbe
afternoon when all tbe rest of the market was
weak.

as tbe same grade of shelled corn was slow at

MARKETS BY WIEE.
A Shnrp Reaction In Wheat Dao lo Bad
Crop News Corn Weaker nnd Oats
Stronger Pork Doll and Steady.
CHICAGO A large business was transacted
In wheat to-day, and a sharp reaction in prices
occurred. The early market was weak and
prices lower, being a continuation of the weak
ness of yesterday, but active bnying turned the
course of the market upward. The opening
for July was about the same as yesterday's
closing, but a weak feellng'existed. and under
free offerings prices declined Jc more. Rains
were reported in the Northwest, which stimu
lated selling. Later numerous brokers com
menced to buy, outside orders increased and
prices steadily advanced Zc above the inside
figures rracned early In the day. Bad crop
news was received 'from the winter wheat dis
tricts, but as this character of news bas already
caused an adradce of I520c per bushel, many
traders are of tbe opinion that tbe elf ect for
the present has been anticipated.
Advices were received that the Cincinnati
Price Current reported the condition of wheat
in Onlo, lntufaa and Illinois equal to that ot
April 1: Missouri and Kentucky not much
changed, possibly a slight improvement, and
Kansas and Michigan a fair improvement.
There were also advices by mail notmjr
serious damage to crops from one cause or an
other at various' points in Ohio, Indiana and
Wisconsin. From the Northwest, crop advices
were more favorable."
There was fair trading in corn, though at
times tbo market was somewhat dull. Tbe
feeling developed was stronger, and transac
tions were at higher prices. Local operators
sold early, in anticipation of another break,
but the demand was Detter than expected and
offerings were quickly taken. The market
opened rather weak at abont c under yester
day's closing prices, but scored an advance of
Lii during tbe day. and was steady at the
close at lKc better than yesterday.
Tbe market in oats was steady and at times
very excited. Speculators who were free
sellers on yesterday turned in and bought
heavily. The feature was in May which opened
Urn:, and advanced 1c on big miscellaneous
Luying, mostly by shorts. Offerings were not
large and prices were bid up to 27c The ad
vance brought out good ffe rings and prices re
ceded to 27c, but again rallied and closed at a
net gain of lc June and July were active,
tbe first named advanced lc and July 1c from
yesterday's close. Recessions followed the ad
vances, bnt last sales were at almost outside
figures and showed a set advance of J&lc,
June being tbe strongest.
There was little mure business in pork to-day.
chiefly on local account. Prices averaged
higher, and tbe marked closed steady at inside
figures.
Rather more was doing in lard and the feel
ing was unsettled. Opening sales were made
at slightly reduced prices, but a firmer feeling
was developed later, and prices rallied 57c
with a fair trade. Toward theclose the market
was quiet and steady, with prices favoring
buyers.
Short Ribs Considerable business was trans
acted, especially in July and September deliv-
eries. Karly in the day prices receded 265c
Later prices rallied 710c Toward the close,
the feeling was easier, and tbe market closed
quiet at about outside figures.
