THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, FRIDAY, MAT 30, 1890: -L '$ THE SCARE IS OYER. ' A Baise in Bessemer Figures at Pitts burg Greatly Helps the ENTIRE MAliKKT IK THE EAST. Pi? Iron, However, Remains in About the Same Condition. THE SITUATIOX ACROSS TIIE OCEAX rSrXCIAX. TZX.EQBAM TO THE DISFATCJI.1 New Toek, May 29. The Iron Age in Its issue to-day prints the following : The sudden change for the better in Pitts burgh in Bessemer pig billets and wire rods has not been without its effect upon the Eastern markets. It has relieved them of a strain under which they had been suf fering. The low prices made were dictated by Pittsburg and Wheeling, adding freight. The Eaftern markets maintained a level higher by the cost of delivering from Fitts burjr to common point. The rise there allow the Eastern works to control their own market once more. The scare Is over and a more con fident feelin.c prevails. American Pig The market In this vicinity remains quiet, the volumo of business being moderate. The supnly of foundry Irons which this market 19 almost exclusively Interested in continues ample, except Jf o. 1, ot which grade the Alabama furnaces have relatively Hitle to offer. We continue to quote JlSglO for Xo. 1 and f 171S for No. 2 Northern, and 116 7o17 25 for No. land J1616 50 for No. 2 Southern foundry iron. Splegeleisen and Ferro-Manganese The chance in the feeling In the West is illustrated in a recent occurence. A steel works, through an importer, offered for resale a lot of 1,000 tons of Spiegeleiscn to arrive aslowas $33,Pittsburg. A counter offer of S32 was made, and declined. Now the seller has withdrawn even at the fig ure first named. There has been more active in quiry for Ferro. some of the Western steel mills being in the market for tbe third quarter of tbe year. Sellers quote from J75 to S&O for 80 per cent. For immediate delivery S3 has been paid. Billets Transactions of some magnitude have been made, but details are withheld. Some sellers ask SSOatmilL Nail slabs were, until a few days since, offered as low as t23 at Duvers' mill. Wlro Rods No business is reported. One Pittsburg mill, which sold as low as $3S about two weeks since, is now asking HL Steel Ralls The market is very qniet and dell, with comparatively few orders in sight for ilio Eastern mills. Pittsburg makers are re ported to be suffer. Up to May 1 the sales re ported were 1,020,023 gross tons, but wbatis more important, the deliveries to tbe date aggregated 461,211 tons by the reporting mills. It is not estimating too high to place tbe total rail deliveries, including light rails, at close upon 550,000 tons. This is at the rate of 825,000 tons for the first h Jf of the year, whilo last year the output of the first six months was only 612.653 tons, while it as 827.792 tons during tbe second half. In other vords in spite of the feeling so prevalent that the rail trade has been relatively slow, the tonnage is equal to that of the second half of last j car. and l ar in advance of that of tho first half of 1889. Wo continue to quote the market nominally at nil 00S1 50. Structural Material There is a little better feeling. We quote 2.15ll)c for plate. 2.15 2.25c for angles. 2.5S2.6C lor tees and 3.1c for beams and channels. Fastenincs We quote spikes, $1 902: angle tars SI TSgl 80, and bolts and nuts. $2 S03. Old Rails Western inquiries continue to he the feature. There is also some demand from Southern mills. Wo note a sale of 600 tons at Jeihey City at J23. We quote K323 50. YEEY DULL IN EJGLAHD. Prices Over There Are About the Same, With Very Little Business. SPaClAI. TELZGRAX TO TUB DISFATCH.I New York, May 29. Tbe Iron Age in its issue of to-day printed tbe following from Lon don: There have been no important developments in the speculative branch of tho iron trades, and practically no market in Scotland since Wednesday. There is further talk ot furnaces going out, but those reports iiavo little effect except to rause" buyers of Cleveland to hoiu back. Scotch warrants eacd off Tuesday to 41r 7a ana Cleveland to 40s bd. Hematites sold at 3s SdgSSs 6d. Makers' prices for most brands of Scotch pig are rather steadier, as arc also those lor hematite pic. but Cleveland is selling at a further Might decline. Speigcleisen prices have firmed un in response to rather better demand. Steel, except in the form of rails, is in 119 better demand, and prices are still un settled. A further decline of 2s 6d is quoted on wire rod. Tin plate has had rather better demand and prices are stiffen Bujcrssceiu more inclined to take hold at sellers' late Scores, and in quiries havo been made for largo lots. On actual sales there is one-third advance over last week's prices all along tho line. Block tin is taken Tor consumption in fair quantities, but speculation is moderate at present. Prices weakened somewhat o wine to lack of outside intercsr, but have since recovered. In copper there has been a large business and pi Ices are again higher all along the line, with 15-i advance on bars.

Last Week's Shipment" the Largest fop Sorao months The Works Banning Five and Six Doyii Prr Week-Dally Average Shipments 1,033 Cars. Scottdalk, May 29. There are signs of an improvement in tho coke trade as shipments last week increased several hundred cars over the week before. A prominent coke operator expressed himself thus to your correspondent yesterday: "1 am inclined to think that the depression in the coke trade, which has been a noticeable characteristic for the last two months, is about over. I base my statement on the established fact that the stock houses of manyot our customers which were tilled to overflowing during tho month of January and lehrnary, are cettlng low and need stocking up. A slight improvement in tbe iron trade would, however, materially aid us." The works are still making five and six days per week. LAST "WEEK'S SHIPMENTS. Shipments last week averaged about 1,035 cars per day, against 8S1 of the week before. The shipments were consigned to the various points of consumption as follows: To points west of Pittsburg, 3,430 cars: to Pittsburg and river points. 1,540 cars; to points east of Pitts burg. 1.180 cars; total. 6,200. Shipments for the week previous were distributed as follows: To points west of Pittsburg, 3,325 cars; to Pitts burg and river points. 1.500 cars: to points cast of Pittsburg. 1,075 cars; total, 5.9C0 The idle ovens are estimated at over 3,000. The Atlas and Mahoning plants of 180 ovens aro still idle on account of flooded pits. NEW OVENS TO BE BUILT. The Whitney and Stewart works continue to make six days per week. Oliver Brothers & Phillips will build several hundred ovons south of Uniontown this summer. A strike is again threatened at Ralney's works. The operator, however, is notalarmed, and anticipates a victory over the Knights of Labor once more. Prices remain firm, and aro as follows: Fur nace coke, S2 15: foundry, 2 45: crashed, 12 65.

Florists Report Onn of the Best Days In the History of the Trade. Wednesday was probably tbe liveliest day for PittsbHrg florists in the entire history of tbe trade. There are between 15 and 20 firmer stalls in the Diamond market, and it is safe to say that f nlly 75 wagon loads of flowers in pots were sold at these stalls on that day. One dealer re ports sales of 7 wagon loads, averaging close to 500 pots to a load. Others report sales of 5 and 6 loads. Said one of the florists: "I have been in the trade for five years, and have never seen such a rush for our goods. I brought in four loads on Wednesday morning, and felt sure this would be sufficient to meet all demands But the morning was not half rone when all my flowers wero gone, and I had to send for more. The nrcatest demand was for geraniums, which sold at SO a hundred but on Wednesday they were advanced to $7." To-day there has not been so creat a rush hnt dinary times nc would consider this day's trade immense. The trade or the Diamond market florists tor tbe two days prccedlntr Decoration will, in my opinion, equal 6 000 plants at the lowest estimate. The garden I represent has raised 35,000 geranium plants this season, and it now looks as it we would find a market for all' The extraordinary demand for flowers is not confined to the Diamond inarketsialls. Florists in all parts of the city were never so busy as they have been during the past few da vs. An extra force of men and boys has been pressed into service to meat the demand. Said one of our old-time florists this afternoon: "I havo never seen trade so lively as it was yesterday and to-day. In fact, we have not been able to accept all the orders that have come to us. We laid in large supplies in the faith or a bie de mand, but demand has gone beyond our most sanguine expectations." Drycoods. New York. May 29. Business was moderato to-day in drygoods, a holiday feeling prevail ing, but the market tone was strong, especially cotton goods, in which the following changes wero made by agents: Wamsutta and New Bed ford wide sheetings advanced, narrow widths, 1 cent and tho wider goods VK cents avard; Allandalo wide sheetings advanced U cent a yard; V arasutta cambrics advanced to 10 cents: Cabot 4-4 bleached cotton advanced to 73i cents: Clifton world-wide 4-4 brown sheetings and full yard-wide advancd J cent each.

AT CROSS PUEP0SES. Trne Inwardness of Iho Failure of the Real Estate Exchange. 5BW FIRMS AFRAID OF OLD ONES. Second Avenue Propertj Fails Under the Hammer for Lack of Bids. THE NEWS AlfD GOSSIP OP THE T0WA' The attempt to sell the Collins & "Wright property on Second avenue, just below Smitliueld street, yesterday afternoon was a flush in the pan. The auctioneer staled at the outset that he had n standing bid of $50,000 for it, and that unless be could get an advance on this he would withdraw the property for private sale. As there were no other bids this was accordingly done. The lot is C7i80 feet, with three old build ings thereon. Several capitalists in the crowd were heard to express the opinion that 50,000 was all the property was worth, and they showed they were in earnest by refusing to bid more. w The Renl Estntr Exchnnce. The project for establishing a Real Estate Exchange in Pittsburg, to judge lrom surface indications, is about as lifeless as a doornail, but tbero is a qmet movement behind the cur tains, and confined to a few leading brokers, which may result In something favorable be fore the end ot tbe year. A prominent real estate operator said on this subject yesterday: "While tho scheme has a discouraging out look at present, I have good reason for saying that there Is considerable quiet discussion going on about it. very firm on Fourth ave nue above Smithfleld street is in favor of an exchange, but they are suspicious of the lower end of the avenue, for the reason that nearly all the firms down there are old-timers and think they have a mortgage on the business: they would, it is feared, want to run the Exchange according to their ideas, and thus freeze the yonnger members out. To this the latter decidedly object. I have no doubt an exchange would be a great help to business, and bo beneficial to both sellers and buyers, but it must be conducted on a line of perfect equality betwoen members to make it to. All must have an equal voice and an equal chance, and I think, from what I have heard, that this point has boon practically conceded which is a sign of progress an d ultimate success." It was learned from another source that it is proposed to call the brokers together at an early day for tho purpose of adjusting all differences and adopting measures to forward the enterprise. Business Mews and Gossip. The Philadelphia Company Ii laying pipe on Edgewood road, about 200 Italians being em ployed. At the meeting of stockholders of tbe Sixth Street Suspension Bridge Company to-day, tbe question of a new structure will probably be settled one way or tbe other. This opinion was expressed by a director of the company yester day, who added: "I think tho bridge will be built." Kigbteen mortgages were reported yesterday. The largest was for S19o00. Six were for pur chase money. The first paved street In Pittsburg was Fort, Coblestones were used. ' There is no city in the country where wealth Is more generally distributed than in Pitts burg a result of frugality and industry and of the large opportunities for tbe accumulation of money The city is full of visitors. Some of them complain the streets are so crowded with vehicles as to render pedestrianlsm uncomfort able. That is business, gentlemen, jnst what Pittsburg is here for. It is a wideawake town, as you see. There is talk of the XCnterpriso Savlncs Bank of Allegheny increasing its capital stock next month The Motolina Mining Company, which Is now in control of La Norla mines, will begin at once the work of developing tho property. Canton, O., proposes to issue S23,900 bonds for improvements and water. Cirthagp, O., otters S20,600 water works bonds bearing 5 per cent Interest. Clifton.

Thore was considerable dickering between sellers and buyers of real estate yesterday, and as a general thing they were not hope lessly far apart. The outlook is promising for a good, strong market all season. Sales re ported follow: W. A. Horron t Sons sold lots Nos. 3, 4 and 5 in the Busey plan, Bntler street.

Moncv Working a Trifle Easier, Bat the Supply Not Excessive. Checking at the local banks was heavy yes terday, as shown in tbe increased volume of exchanges as compared with the previous days of the week. They were $2,843,472 Oo. The balances were S237.782 18. There was a good demand for money, which was met at rates ranging from 6 to 7 per cent, according to the collateral. Funds are working easier If any thing, due to the gradual subsidence of the spring flurrv, but they are not overlv plethoric, as business 'is active and absorbslarge amounts. Tbe principal iactor in sustaining discount rates is tbe fact that a great deal of capital sent South ana West last fall to help movo the crops failed to return, having found permanent employment thore. Those who are holding out for cheap money, will, therefore, probably be disappointed. This se"ms all tbe more certain from the fact that business expansion has been on such a scale as to prevent the accumulation of a largo surplus at any of tho financial cen ters, thus maintaining a healthy equilibrium between supply and demand.

Tbe Liveliest Day In. the Stock Market for Mnny Moons. Stock trading in fact all speculative busi nessis usually of a perfunctory character just preceding a holiday. Investors being averse to carrying responsibilities which might become white elephants on their bands. Yesterday, however, was an exception on the local ex change. Tradlne was not only lively, sales foot ing up 1,259 shares, but the feelingwas buoyant and prices, with a few exceptions, stronger. Westingbouse Electric was the leader in activity, as It had been all week, but its course was erratic, showing that friends and enemies alike were at sea, and didn't know exactly what to make of it. The non-declaration of a divi dend, and the absence of all information on that point, afforded a handle for the bears, and they worked it thoroughly, though the stock rallied toward the close, which was nearly a point better than tho lowest quotation. Tbe improvement was duo to a report that a divi- urnu was assured. Central Traction was another stronsifcaturc. lor which thero seemed to be a large influx of buying orders, prompted, no doubt, by the rc0i. increasing earnings of the company. Jrrcdlctions were made by some that it would soon be the leader of the market. Pittsburg i raction was also stronger, while Citizens lost KrOUnd.

THE C0TJESE OF OIL. Considerable Trading, but nt tbe Expense of Values Bearish Features. Tbe oil market was active, but weak, yester day. The general situation was the same as It had been for some time Oil City and Bradford doing the Belling and Pittsburg trying, in a small way, to maintain prices. A good many small bundles were handled, but the aggregate was unimportant. The range was: Opening and hishest. 90JJ; lowest, 89; closing, 9a Tbe bearish features were a lack of orders, a drop of 10 points in refined at New York, and the holiday to-day and half holiday to-morrow, virtually shutting out business for the rest of the week. Nothing was said about field nows. Several wells are about due, and they may change the situation. The monthly report, it Is thought, will be bullish. It will appear to morrow. Wednesday's clearances were 170,000 barrels. Features of tbe Oil Market. Corrected dally by John M.

Tho Market Again Demoralized by tbe Trusts Tbe Commission Business on tho Wane Confidence In tho Grangers Again Restored. New York, May 29. The stock market to day was active and feverish with a strong tone In the forenoon, which gave way to decided weakness in tho afternoon, though a smart rally toward the close brought most of the list up to within small fractions of last evening's final figures. The trusts were again the de moralizing influence in the market, the bears using tbe declines In those stocks to hammer the regular list, and in some instancos with marked success. Oregon Transcontinental, the Northern Pacifies, Missouri Pacific, Rock Island, Delaware and Lackawanna and New England all yielded readily to rapid selling. Missouri Pacific was one of the weakest stocks and thero was evldnn ts of a disposition on the part of the insiders t-i lot the price off, a fact which led to tho impression that Its controllers were.not opposed to a decline. Atchison, Die Vandorbllts, Wheelln" and Lake Erie and St. Paul wore tho strongest stocks of the day, the declines in them being small in comparison to those in most of tho list. The effect of tho restoration in rates was felt in me list tins morning, and the Londoners were on hand with large buving orders in their specialties which opened tho list from V. to V. per cent liiglier than last evening's figure" but the buoyancy in the railroad list was mot by re newed demoralization in tho trustsand Chicago Gas in particular. The last named stork inado a quick drop of 5-X per cent to 4 hut the news that the appointment of tho receiver had been put oil for a week, and that the trust would fight tbe appointment in the higher courts caused a rally which, however, was not fully maintained. To this infiuencu was added further liquidation in Suzar refineries, nnd while that stock was stronger at the opening than Chicago Qas, it failed to rally, and reached materially lower figures than belorc. The buy ing in the general list was checked and the bears turned their attention to the regnlar list. meeting with some aid, ft Is believed, from tbe bull leaders, who were desirous of shaking out some of a ton numerous following. Tho pressure was most severe upon the Vil lard stocks, and Oregon Transcontinental led the drop with a decline from 49 to 45, with the Northern Pacifies and Missoiiu Pacific follow ing. Missouri Pacific, New England, Rock Isl and, Lackawanna, St, Paul, Reading and Rich mond and West Point all made marked de clines, and weak holders were shaken out all over the list, the existence of numerous stop orders aiding the decline when it was once started. A number of unsettling rumors were set afloat to aid in tbe decline, and one of tho most influential was that tho Villards had de manded a differentia). Money also became dearer, and rates on call were run up to 10 per cent, which helped the liquidation. The general belief that stocks were passing into tbe hands of strong men, however, soon induced a sharp rally, and everything made material progress toward higher figures In the remainder of the afternoon, while tbo business done was largo throughout. The close was active and stroDg at tbe recovery. The list is generally fraction ally loner this evening, but Chicago Gas la down Z, Sugar 3. Cotton Oil' receipts and Transcontinental 1 eacb. New England 1, Northern Pacific preferred , and Lacka- wanna 1J. Railroad bonds were comparative ly quiet, and did not partake of the activity or excitement which marked the dealings in stocks, while a steady to firm tone prevailed with few important movoments. The sales reached only (1,351.000, out of woicJJ T"Fa Pacific seconds, Atchison incomes and Reading first incomes furnished a large proportion. Outlde of tho prominence of these Issues the dealings presented no feature of Interest; and while Cleveland and Canton firsts, Scioto Valley firsts and Western New York and Pennsylvania firsts showed material fains at the close. Lake Shore seconds, coupon, lilwankee and Northern 6s of 1913, Richmond and West Point trust 5s, Alton and Terre Haute dividends and Laclede Gas Es were materially lower. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and feature less. The Jot says: The fact that (27,000,000 of New Atchison stock was soon to como out in exchange for the 8an Francisco stocks caused selling of Atchison, notwithstanding that the acquisition of the San Francisco will ultimately be of Immense advantage to tbe Atchison. It was thought also that as the San Francisco stocks had for a long time been very inactive, and with very little chance for the holders to realize, they had -now taken tbe opportunity of selling some of the Atchison they expected to receive, because tho Atchison is active and more marketable. It was noticed that the regular commission business from up town and out Of town had diminished verv much, and that the trading had concentrated in Sugar Trust. Gas Trust and a few others, which tho majority of stock speculators were afraid to touch. Tbe restoration of the passenger rates west of Chicago came just in time to restore confidence in the Grangers, and, as London usually gots Information of such events quite as soon as New York, there was considerable buying of stocks for London account this morning, which started the markot off in a much more sanguine temperthis forenoon than has been manifested for tbe past week. Tbe probability of any serious reaction now seems to be over. The trust stocks will, of courto. fluctuate wildly yet, but they will havo less effect to demoralize tbe rest of the stock market, and the prevailing belief that there will yet be some legislation in regard to silver, Mliicli will stimulate speculation generally, will sustain prices for railway stocks and prob ably advance them. Almost every commission iiouso uavinir. a xosion connection was a seller 1 of Oregon Transcontinental this afternoon.

Wbont Continues Its Downward Coarse Free Offerings Excite Suspicion Corn Lower aadOnts Steady Notb- Ins; Dolna; In Pork. CHICAGO The volume ot trading In wheat to-day was rather large. There were less than tbe usual nnmber,of outside buying orders and quite a good many selling orders. Local oper ators also sold freely, and thero was general liquidation. Some of tbe parties credited with being the strongest bulls a few davs ago were reported as having sold nut. The opening was JiKo lower than yester day's closing, and under free offerings sold oil io more and then declined c. The offer ings becamo heavy, and it was surmised that some one was feeling the market with all the wheat It would take without making tbe sell ing appear too conspicuous, and prices slid off lc, and then rather rapidly lJJ2c more, ruled irregular and closed about 2Jo lower for July, 2c lower for August and ljc lower for September than the closing figures on "Change yesterday. There was nothing specially im portant in the way of crop news received from outside points, or, in fact, news of an kind. Corn was rather dull and easier, lower prices bsing the rule on all futures. Operations were in the main local, with opening sales KSK under the closing yesterday, was steady for a time, then sold off Kc, ruled quiet, and closed !WB lower than yesterday. There was no active trade in oats, but there was a decidedly unsettled feeling. Tbe opening was steady, and the futures beyond this month firmer. May. however, was weak, elosinz Jo above inside Azures. Trading was mainlv in June and July, and they beld up well despite the depression in May. The remote deliveries were also fairly supported, and tbe closing sales were at the same figures as yesterday. Only a fair trade was reported in pork. Early sales were made at 10B2c advance, but a weaker feeling was developed later, and a por tion of the advance was lost. A fair trade was reported In lard. At the opening prices were advanced 2Jrjc. but settled back again, and tbe market closed tame. Trading In short ribs was moderate. Tho market ODened rather strong and prices ruled 25c higher. Later the feelingwas easier, and prices declined abont 2c, and closed steady. Tue leading fntures ranged as follows: Wheat No. 2.
