Bessemer Has Been QuitActire the
Past Few Days, With a
STEOKGER FEELIKQ ALL ABOUKD.

Southern Product.
OTHER HAEKSTS BOTH EAST AHD WEST
The tone of the iron market is stronger
than it has been for some weeks past, and
in some lines prices are a shade better.
Bessemer iron has been quite active for a
few days past and markets are strong at
S18 00 per ton, while they were weak last
Saturday at $17 SO per ton. A gentleman
who is a partner in one of the large manu
facturing plants and also buys a good deal,
said yesterday: "There is undoubtedly a
much improTed tone to Bessemer iron with
in a day or two. and the company in which I am
interested has no desire to enter into large con
tracts eren at SIS 00. as we belters that prices
Yrfll soon advance beyond this ficure."
"While there is little change, us yet, in mill
iron, there is a more confident feeling than
there was a week ago among manufacturers
and dealers. The volume of business shows
lniproTement this week over last. Tbe demand
for finished products is actire and strong, and
manufacturers are in general carrying light
stocks, so that the time cannot bo far away
when there must be some heary buying. One
of tne strongest firms in the city paid 518 per
ton fora largelot of Besemeriron within a day
or two, showing their faith that the tide bas
turned toward netter prices. Holders of
standard brands of mill irons are no longer
disposed to grant concessions as tbey bare
been for a few weeks past. There is no change
In markets tor nails or rails since our last
week's report. Orders for tbe latter bare
slackened up for the past week or two, and
markets are a shade weaker. At present price
of nails margins are nearly, if not altogether,
gone.

used by the Henderson Company In making
steel is No. 3 foundry, containing .00 of phos-

In Koutlinrn Irons at least tho voluino of new

The Increase will probably average M per cent.
This results partlr from the practical suspen

SUE TO SPECULATION.
The Becent Boom Was Necessarily Followed
by a Slron Benctlon.
rSrZCTAL TXLK3RAM TO TUB DtSVATClt'
PuiLADELrniA, May Id. Looking back upon
tbe boom which the iron market experienced
late in 1SSB and early in the present year, it ap
pears that It was largely due to speculation.
The purchases by speculators were not confined
to pig metal, bnt included mill products as well.
The liquidation of speculative holdings is caus
ing a reaction from the unnatural advance. The
buying now is for legitimate purposes, and,
while prices are low, it is still encouraging to
find tbe mills busy. Borne furnace men talk of
shutting down toward tbe end of this month or
in June, and it is quite probable that the end of
the second quarter ftf tbe year will find a re-
ainciea output or. pig iron, btausucs snow ino
total number of furnaces in blast to be 341, the
same as reported on April 1, with a slight in
crease in capacity.
There are a number of Inquiries for steel
rails floating about, coming from tbe far West,
indicating that the Western mills are busy and
adhering closely to established prices. While
there is no marked improvement in tbe situa
tion tbe general market is no woaker. A fair
range of quotations is as follows: No. 1 foundry

The advantages of Pittsburg as a manu
facturing center are no longer disputed. In
deed, they are so manifest and important as
to attract attention in Europe as well as
throughout tbe United States. Her railway
system is so complete as to render the dis
tribution of her products to any part of the
country easy and cheap, and her waterways
three magnificent rivers complete her
lines of communication with the South and
"West. Inexhaustible stores of coal and
abundance of natural gas afford a constant
supply of fuel for all ot her varied industries
at rates rendering competition next to impos
sible. To offset these advantages an attempthasbeen
made to show that all the good manufacturing
sites have been taken up. This story was
started abont a year ago, and is still going the
rounds. It appeared in a Baltimore trade pub
lication this week. It was promptly contra
dicted at the time, for a bolder falsehood was
never perpetrated. There Is a large extent of
ground in and about tho city admirably adapted
to all kinds of manufacturing purposes, with
coal and gas in abundance, and having tbe ad
vantages of both rail and river transportation.
These sites vary in size so as to suit all require
ments, and range in price from $500 to 11,000 an
acre surely not an extravagant figure, when
tbe superiority of the location is considered.
Those who are contemplating removal to
Fittsbnrg to engage in any legitimate industry
should not bo deterred by fear of inability to
secure land in any quantity desired and at
a reasonable price. Correspondence with any
of our real estate brokers will secure full and
favorable information on this point.

A Tumblo In Wostlogbonse Electric Pleas
nnt Valley Knllvray Stronger.
The only features of the local security mar
ket yesterday were declines in Westinghouse
Electric, Switch and Signal and Luster Min
ing, and in Pleasant Valley Railway. The nat
ural gases and the tractions were weak, but
practically unchanged. Bales were S14 sharos.
The weakness In Electric was due to the con
templated increase of the stock, making larger
earnings necessary to maintain dividends, if it
docs not sweep them away altogether. The
large and increasing traffic on tho Pleasant
Valley and the assurance of better facilities
for handling bnsiness in the near future, suffi
ciently account for its greater strength.

rsrXCIAL TXLXallAK TO TUX DISrATCIM
Belmont, W. Va., May 16. Three wells
bavo declared themselves this week; one for,
and the others against tbe operators. On
Wednesday afternoon Johnston Sc Brockunier's
Locke No. a struck tbe sand, and it looked
llko a winner. Expectation ran high.
Ten thousand dollars cash was offered for tho
well and refused unhesitatingly. A dozen tele
grams were sent, estimating her at from 1 to
600 barrels. But when the morning of Friday
came, and Prof. Drill took the floor, he made
some very discouraging remarks, and by 9
o'clock the bit was through tbo sand, with only
a half dozen callers of oil to show for its work.
About noon George W. Boss Triangle well
reached the sand, and showed up somewhat
similarly to the Locke No. 2. Expressions re
garding her probable outcome were very con
servative, as result of the morning's disap
pointment. But shortly she began to gas and
made a rich flow, starting off at about a 300
barrel gait, and bas kept it np since.
At 5 o'clock Boss, Storey dc Hart's Shingle
ton No. 1 got down to business, and with much
stronger gas, commenced a flow of oil equal in
amount with the Triangle Neither of these
wells are more than six feet in tbo sand, and a
considerable increase is looked for when tbey
are drilled further in, which will be within the
next day or two.
Hervey No. 1, on the other side of the river,
is just being drilled in. Her sand is looking
first class, and she will be likelv to add some
thing to the production of tho Held. Some
other wells on that side will be in soon, and
will thoroughly test the Ohio territory.
C. B. Hart's barnvard well is cased, and will
be in by or before 1'uesday ot next week. She
is only a hundred yards from Bhingleton No. 1.,
and is looked on as almost a sure thing. It Is
reported that a good show of oil was struck in
the Strosueider well, five miles southwest of
Belmont, This veil Is about a thousand feet
deep, and will soon bo in tbe Eureka sand.
Her companion wells are drilling, but are not
so deep by several hundred feet.

New York, May 16. The stock market pre
sented about the sams amount of business to
day as yesterday, but the reactionary temper
was replaced by a more confident feeling, not
withstanding the fact that1 the professionals
and traders were still working for a further re-,
action. There was great irregularity in the
market, however, and a portion of the Hat was
strong, while another portion was decidedly
weak, and the course ot prices was subjected to
sudden and sharp changes throughout To-day

with tbo aid of tho hammering of the bears
and tho lack of support in a few of tho most
prominent stocks, were sufficient to koep the
market In an unsettled and variable condition
throughout the day. The high rates exacted
for money also caused mnnv selling orders In
the afternoon, although tbey did not go as high
as yesterday and loans made to-day run till
Monday, The great buying power to-day was
the foreigners whn sent liberal orders in all ot
their favorites, wllh tbo exception of Louts,
ville and Nashville, and, though the presiuro
to sell at the opening was severe higher prices
resulted from the excellent demand,

Ing any mateilal loss to-night. The buying de.
roand fell away after the opening, and the
traders again got prioes down in soma cases be
lowtboBe of the opening, but a rlrmertone
afterward prevailed, and the best prices were
reached toward noon. The money rates then
encouraged the bears and again prices receded,
but money was offered at 6 per cent in the last
Hour ana some improvement was maoe, ma
market finally closing active and firm, gener
ally at small fractional gams over last night's
figures. Union Pacific is np IK. Oregon Trans
continental XA and Reading i, while Dela
ware and Hudson is IK lower.
Railroad bonds were still active, but there
was less strength in tho market than for many
days, and while tbe Important changes in
5 rice are very few, a portion of tbom are losses,
'be same issues continue to dominate the deal
ings, while tbo trading extends to a lame num
ber of issues. Government bonds have been
dull and steady. Btate bonds bavo been dull
and steady.
Tbo Port says: Tho unsettled condition of
tho market during tbe day was duo principally
to realization of profits, against which tbo buy
ing for foreign account was not sufficiently
heavy to prevent a decline In prlcos, although
London took quite an amouut of stocks, and
also a largo amount of bonds. Tho efforts of
those favorable to a decline were assisted by
the further demoralization of passenger rates
among the Western roads, but well Informed
railroad men claim to bellevo that the end Is
annroncblmr. and that an agreement will
shortly bo reached, to be followed by a restora
tion of rates. Tho higher rates for monoy as
sisted the decline In the price for stocks.

Conntrr Produce Jobbing Prices.
The tone of butter markets is weak, and
prices are on theMecline, This and nextmonth
are the months of plenty in this department of
trade, and supply Is likely to exceed demand.
Advices from Elgin and Chicago show that
markets are off at those Important butter
points. Country rolls are very slow. As butter
declines eggs advance, and for choice nearby
stock outside quotations are readily obtained.
Markets are better supplied with fresh vegeta
bles and strawberries than for some days past.
Stuff from the South has been delayed all the
week on account of rains. Now there is plenty
for all demands, but prices of good goods are
well maintained. The berries on the market
are generally small. In tropical fruit lines
oranges are firm and higher, bananas steady,
and lemons weak.

wheat market. Speculative trading large and
more or less excitement existed at times, with
prices averaging higher all around. Even de
ferred futures were more stroncly affected, and
the difference between these and the nearer de
liveries was lessened somewhat. The opening
for July was about the same as yesterday's clos

with prices advancing 2c, eased off slightly and
closed about lo higher than yesterday.
August closed lc and September 2Vo higher
than yesterday. The feeling throughout the

ports were somewhat conflicting.
