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Now the seller has withdrawn even at the fig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. French holders
have realized, but in a careful manner and
without detrimental bearing upon the market.
American Manufacturer's Cable Quotations.

COKE TRADE IMPROVING.
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

1 cent and tho wider goods VK cents avard;
Allandalo wide sheetings advanced U cent a

cents: Clifton world-wide 4-4 brown sheetings

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.

Edgewood road, about 200 Italians being em

Movements In Kent Catnie.
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

HARD CASH.
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

AH UNEXPECTED 8FTJET.
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

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.

ACTIVE AND FEVERISH.
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.

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.
