mr ft THE FTTTSBTIRG- DISPATCH, FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1890. PITTSBURG A CENTER, Fixing the Figures for Iron All Oyer the United States. THE EAST SURELY CROWDED OUT. Prices in the iitvr lork Market ire Prac tically Unchanged. KO NEW mTURLS ACROSS THE OCEAN rKTKCIAl, TEIEQKJLM TO TOT DISra.TCIT.1 Set York, June 5. The Iron Age in its issue of to-day sires the following: The hap penings of the past few months hare empha sized more strikingly than ever before how the leadership in the markets which the East one possessed, has been resigned to the leading cities west of the Allegheny Mount ains. Every important impulse has come from Pittsburg Cincinnati or Chicaeo In the lines In which they are respectively the leading markets. It is useless to disculse tlio fact that the East has finally and completely lost Us supremacy. .American Pig The New York market is very quiet. Transactions, with few exceptions, are on a moderate scale with prices practically un changed. The buoyant reports from other cen ters are reflected by a more hopeful feeling. which lias not, however, f onnd expression in a larger volume oi outness or nigner nsures. The action of the '1 nomas Iron Ccmnanv in mafkmg the price of No. 1 foundry down tc IS is without any signincance whatever, the mar ket havinc been at that figure for a lone time. It merely means that ihose who arc under con tract will have their iron billed at a lower figure. Some of the Southern furnaces have practically withdrawn from this marker. The Eastern Malleable iron works are in the market now for about 13.000 tons of charcoal iron and about 6.000 tons of charcoal iron are included in the tenders just issued by the Grand Trunk Railroad. An equal quantity of other grades of pig iron is required, but will probably be taken by English makers. We quote Northern No. 1 foundry. S18 001S 50: No. 2, 817 0J17 50: Southern Si 1, S16 7517 25, and No. 2. 816 00 10oa. Spiegeleisen and Ferro-maneanese The only transaction of any magnitude closed dur ing the week was the sale of a 2.000-ton lot of 2U per cent spiegeleisen. special brand, for 1 uture dehverv to a Pittsbnnr rail mill at pri vate terms. We quote $31 5032 for tidewater delivery. There have been some sales of ferrj, prices ranging between 87678 for future de livery. The order of 600 tons for a Pittsburg mill was taken by the producer in that locality at private terms, but reported to be equal to the current selling price of foreign at tide water. Billets The movement has been light In the East, the few sellers awaitinir developments in the West For a block of 5,000 tons 830 at mill, was refused. In slabs extended inquiry by a nail mill for a round lot for delivery during the second half of this year brought out only one offer of 831 25 at seller's mill. Wire Rods Reports are conflicting, but it is apparent that witu those who take a very hope ful view the wish Is father to the thought. Sales have been on a larger scale. Eastern mills takincln the agsregaie about 25,000 to 30,000 tons, the bulk therefore for Southern roads. The total includes one large block which was reported closed months since, but lias apparently been finally arranged for now. Among the sales is one in territory usi ally considered tributary to Pitts burg. Some of the Eastern mills are eager to Becnre orders, and, taking it as a whole, excepting possibly the two Pittsburg works, the mills are competing sharply for what orders come into the market. East. South or West. Occasionally one or the other, havinc put tue oraer dook into oetter shape by very active competition, quotes higher prices, but others seem ready to step in to bid for their share at close figures. During the current year there has been some selling, with a guarantee to the purchaser against a decline, the price be inp that current at the time of the delivery of the monthly proportion of the cut rate. We quote: 830 5031 50 at Eastern mil). Structural Material Quite a number of large buildincs are coming into the market, among them a brewery and a l.irce hotel We quote: 2.1520e for plates; 2.152.25c for ancles; 2.5 2.6c tor tees, and 3.1c for beams and channels. Fastenings We quoted Spikes. 822 10: angle bars, 1.73QLS0C. and bolts and nuts, 2.tS03c, Old Rails There is a widespread inquiry and with the simultaneous appearance oi a con siderable number of buyers East and West the maricet has stiffened. Sales aggregate about 1.600 tons here, and at least one order for a lot of 1,000 tons of foreign rails for shipment has gone abroad. As much as 821 and even 821 50 has been offered for rails in quantity up to 5,000 tons. The supply of flange rails in this market is estimated at 3,500 tons, while the Ftock of dooble heads is a little over 4,000 tons, all held in strong hands. KO HEW FEATU2ES ABE0AD. Even Speculation In Connection With tho Pin Iron 3Intket Is Unimportant, rSPr.CIAI. TELEGRAM TO TUB UISPATCn.' New York, June 5, The Iron Age In its Issue to-day printed the following cablegram from London: The market for pig iron is with out new feature of any description, and specu lation is unimportant. Cleveland shipments are a shade better, but warrants have gone still lower, selling down to 39 loKs Tuesday, and at the samo, figures to-day. Scotch shipping brands arc still receding, and warrants are weak, with business at 43 9s yesterday and 43 103 to-day. Hematite warrants bave dropped with the rest and were down this week to 51 3s, but reacted to 52 6s to-day. Steel ship plates are off to 6 17s 6d at Bar row. Rails, blooms and slabs are about 5s lower, and quotations on billets and wire rods are reduced 2 6s, with business moderate in all departments. Tin sold up to 95 7s 6d spot, tinder the influence of American demand, and a large business was done on the raise. On a cessation of demand prices afterward relapsed to the previous level. Owing to small direct shipments it is bel.eved that the American market is chiefly dependent upon London to supplying its want. In copper there is a fair business doing at about 54 10s for merchant bars. The position fully warrants the inference that consumption is outpacing the pro tuction, and higher prices arc therefore considered as very probable. French stocks have been further largely re duced. Furnace material has continued active, and prices show a farther advance, with Ana conda matte up to 11 6s on actual sale. Large quantities have been sold for delivery during the balance of this year and into the first half ollS9L All the Anaconda matte lying in Liv erpool has been purchased for American ac count. The amount of stock involved in these transactions cannot be learned. Other sales include 300 tons Anaconda matte at 11 3s: 200 tons ditto at 11 6s, and 800 tons Anaconda ar gentiferous on private terms. For tin plates, inquiries are still numerous and fairly large business is doing. Buyers for large parcels arc making offers Some ac cepted but price not stated. The syndicate of London and American capitalists, which ac quired the Forest fc Worcester works, at Swan sea, is beinz transferred to a limited liability company.

A Feeling; That the Coke Trade Has Been Aroused A Heavy Increase In Ship ments In the Month of Slay New Ovens Proposed. 1EFECIAT, TKLEORAX TO THB DISPATCH.'. SCOTTDA.I.E, June 5. It is now thought that the coke trade has been fairly aroused from the lethargic condition which characterized It during the greater part of last month. There has been an increase in orders productive, of a corresponding increase in shipments and more evidence of an upward movement in trade. The restriction policy was used to the same ex tent last week as in preceding weeks. The ad vance in shipments to points West is a notable feature. Thev have been increasing almost every week. There have been no change in the prices of coke, and there is not tho least evi dence that there will be the slightest altera tions. ...... . No complaints have been heard from any or the consumers as to prices and they are acting wisely. There is no disturbing element to trade at present, bntlaborofflicialaare endeavoring to work up a strike at Ralney's works. So far their efforts have Deen rather unsuccessful. In re viewing the trade for the month of May, it is found that while shipments will In noway favorably compare with the previous month's record.yet over 540,000 tons was disposed of. The transportation facilities were splendid for the month, but the lack of orders played havoc. Commenting on last month's ontput an opera tor said to-day: "You say that over 540 000 tons of coke were assigned to various points last month. Well, tbat is a fair month's work, and I believe it will be far better this month. It will at least if It retains its present pace throughout." One coke plant In the cose region bas chanced hands. That of A. C. Cochran, which was bought yesterday by J. D. Boyle of Pitts burg. E. A. Humphrey, of this place, will shortly begin the test ot the land which he recently purchased in Redstone ;township, Fayette county. New ovens are being erected near Ursina, Somerset county. Work is progresing on the new Davidson ovens. Shipments last week averaged about 1,046 cars, against 1,024 cars of the week before. The following is the distribution: To points west of Pittsburg, 3.625 cars: to Pittsburg and river points. 1,500 cars; to points east or Pitis burg, 1,150 cars; total, 6,27o cars. For the pre ceding week the rocord is this: To points west of Pittsburg. 3.4S0 cars; to Pittsburg and river points. 1,540 cars; East, 1,180 cars: total, 6.200. Prices are without change.

One of our leading wholesale dealers in cloth ing said yesterday: "Our trade this spring has been fully up to last sprlng,wben we had an ex tra trade. As to prices, cheap goods are cheap er than ever, but rood goods hold up well to prices of last season. The demand for bih grade ready-made clothing is increasing here every year. The general prosperity of Pittsburg and the region of which it is the trade center is having the effect of knocking out shoddy goods. Workingmen are making good waees aud are demanding better styles and quality of clothing every year. "The class of goods we could sell readily a few years ago is no longer wanted here. The bulk of our spring and summer trade is now over, and we are laying in heavily for fall in the faith of an extra business for the rest of the j ear. Our stock of summer goods is unusu ally well cleaned up, and in some lines we bave not been able to fill orders of late. We are now cutting no stuff for fall and winter trade, and already see signs of great activity when the watering-place business is over." ETJBBIHO U I5T0 PnTSBUEO. Soma Bonds at Laic Opposed to Dlacrim InBtlnc Asralnat This City. The conference of the Pittsburg, Youngs town and Buffalo freight committees to con sider the question of advancing the lake differentials will be held at Niagara to-day. A number of the local agents left last even ing. The clim of the all-rail lines that the difference in rates between the rail and lake should be 10 per cent was knocked in the head by Chairman Blanchard, who said that the Central Traffic Association decided that the difference should not be less than 10 per cent, leaving the roads to make it as much greater as they pleased, which they did. If the lake differentials to the Northwest from this territory are advanced, and the seaboard rates remain Uie same, then it will be another case of discrimination against Pittsburg. For once some of the roads say it is not fair to rub it into this city. The Pennsylvania Company has lines both by rail and water to the Northwest, but their agents favor maintaining present rates. The all rail routes claim that this company ought to be neutral; that in either case it would not lose anything.

So freaks Occur in Local Securities and a Sharp Advance in Oil. THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE TOWN It leaked ont yesterday that Mr. J. M. Schomaker has purchased, through Messrs. Black & Baird, a business property near the new postofHce, for (43,000. The exact location ami size of the lot could not be as certained.

Bellfield, has just changed hands for $14,000. The lot is 60 by 160. with a house of nine rooms thereon. Dr. Oldshue paid 89,500 for It two years aco.

Avery important transaction, in volving a fine business property, is hanging fire on a difference of only 88,000 between seller and buyer. Northitde Railway Consolidation. The long-talked-of consolidation of the Pitts burg. Allegheny and Manchester and the Pleas ant Valley street railway systems seems to be more of a reality than many people think. An officer of one of these companies in conversa tion on the subject yesterday remarked: "I think consolidation will be the outcome of the agitation not because the companies bave any particular lore for oach other, but as a matter of mutual interest. It would, by practically monopolizing Northsido territory, go far to shut out competition. The companies would' do as much or more business than If acting separate ly, ana do it cheaper, for they could dispense with a great many costly things a number of high-priced employes, for instance. One power bouse would be sufficient for the consolidated system. This would be a great saving." The informant added that all of these things were being quietly but earnestly discussed by the officials of both roads, with the evident purpose of merging the rival interests. He did not think this could be brought absut im mediately, but was satisfied it would be effected at no very distant day.

A JTJMP IN OIL. The Balls DXako Themselves Heard and Felt An Upward movement. Oil scored an advance of 1 cents yesterday, but without much of it changing bands. All the Exchanges were bullish, but New York and Pittsburc furnished most of the strength. The market opened at 86Kfi and soon moved up to tSc, fell back to 86Kc, rallied and closed steady at 88c Most of the trading was below 87c, around which figure the market held for the greater part of the day. The situation in the Setd is encouraging to the bulls, who are becoming quite numerous and aggressive.

Prospects of lis Passage In Congress Gives Vitality to Wall Street A Spurt la Sugar and a Strong Close Bonds More Active Nzw York. June 5. Tho stock market was less animated to-day, but displayed a firm undertone from opening to close, and although there was considerable Irregularity almost everything traded in is higher to-night. There was a marked absence of pressure to sell such. as has made the dealings of the past week so feverish aud weak, and while the demand was moderate it was sufficient even with the dispo sition of the foreigners to sell their favorites. The discussion of tho Bilver bill in the House of Representatives to-day revived the hopeful feeling and the possibility of early action ou the same soon showed in improved prices and increased animation. The market outside of Sugar Refineries showed no particular activity, and that stock seemed to have lost Its power over the regular list, and when it declined there was no response and its subsequent advance met with no recognition whatever. The money question to day was not a factor, and while the sub-Treas ury continues to draw funds from the banks the flow from the interior more than makes up the drain. Funds were easy on call to-day at from 4 to 5 per cent. Among the features of the day's trading Sugar Refineries was the most prominent, and after opening up 1 per cent at 76c it reacted to 76Kc but later steadily advanced with moderate fluctuations until near tne close, when its best price was reached. It finally closed at 80c There was no news of any kind with a bearing upon the stock, and the rise seems to be only a natural reaction from the late depression. In the regular list Rock Island was strong on the explanation that the company had charged 81,000,000 betterments- to operating expenses. The market made veryllttle progress In either direction until well in the afternoon, when the influence of the prospects of a silver bill being passed bad its legitimate effect, and several stocks moved up sharply, and among tho most noted were Cleveland, Cincinnati. Chicago an St. Louis, Missouri Pacific Chicago Gas, Wheeling and Lake Erie, Hocking Valley and Ohio Southern. The Vanderbilt stocks were again prominent for strength throughout the aay, and served to ctve a firm tone to the deal ings, especially in the forenoon. The close was quiet and strong, generally at about the best prices of the day. The list Is al most invariably hlcher. and sugar rose 4 Cleveland. Cincinnati. Chicago and St. Louis and Chicago Gas 1 each. Missouri Pacific 1, and New England 1 per cent. Railroad bunds were more active to-day, but while the general tone was still firm there was consideralile.irregularlty about the movements and little feature. The dealing extended to 81,091.000, out of which Reading is. which were the only active issues to-day, furnished 8102,000. The princip.il changes Include Milwaukee, Lakp Shorn and Western Ashland division 4 to 119. Helena aud Red Mountain firsts 2K to 103K, Southern Pacific of California firsts 2Ji to Ui. Among the losses was Peoria, Decatur and EransvUle seconds, 8 at 70. Government bonds have been dull andsteady. S!e b,?n1" have been dull Dut firm. The .Post says: A partial explanation of the Rock Island unfavorable annual renort was telegraphed from Chicago this forenoon, say ing that the report would show SL013.000 spent for permanent Improvements, this amount being equivalent to 2 per cent on the capital. It was upon this that the stock rallied from 03 in the first half hour to 94 just after 12 o'clock. But it is well known that the terms "permanent Improvements" and "betterments" too often mean only the necessary enlargement of facilities to accommodate the existing traffic, though this expenditure may not bave any effect to increase the earnings or profits. A railroad must, in fact, be almost entirely re constructed every 15 or 20years. Many experts say 10 or 12 years. The arguments, therefore, that the large sums expended for these betterments and per manent improvements are an additional dividend-earning capital are generally received by the public with a great deal of allowance, and In this case the sentiment of the street appears to be in favor of making the allowance because Rock Islarfd at present prices is too high com pared with other dividend payers; for instance, with Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St, Louis common, which pays 4 per cent, and is earning over 6 per Cent, though it sells at 78 to 79, while Rock Island paying no more and not earning as much sells at 94. Many other instances might also be given, as Western Union, Richmond Terminal preferred and some others, of which the managements are at least calculated to Inspire as much confi dence as tbat of Rock Island. The Rock Island figures are of the utmost importance because they are to some extent an Index of the busi ness ot the other granger roads west of Chicago.

Drovers report Very poor pickings the past few weeks. The live stock dealer who comes out even of late has good reason for self-congratulation. The truth is that the majority are losers. Prices paid at Chicago for this week's cattle at East Liberty were 19c abovo last week's prices, and here there was a drop of 15c per hundred. On this week's transactions drovers are not estimating profits but losses. There were about 15 loads of cattle at the East Liberty yards, designed for the local trade, sent on East in first bands for want of buyers here. As markets are dull East as well as here, it is probable that the stock sent, on would go farther to fare worse. The loss to our local drovers pioves gain to dealers in Chicago dressed beef. In the latter line trade is boom ing, and the number of beeves handled is not far from 60 per cent larger than at this time a year ago. Both dressed beef and canned meats are in very active demand, and cattle dealers in Chi cago are on tbe make at the expense of Pitts burg butchers and drovers. One of our lead ing pork packers received advices from Chi cago to-day that hogs had dropped to 83 75 fir tops, the lowest price of this season. Tne drop is durto heavy receipts and hot weather. Following is the report of transactions at the East Liberty Stock Yards for the week past: rtECEIPTg. CATTLE. HOGS. SHEEP Thro'. Local.

Elgin creamery butter is firm at last week's prices, when markets were very weak. The lowest point of tbe season bas, no doubt, been reached, and any future changes are apt to be toward higher prices. Country roll bntter bas scarcely any value. Shippers have been with holding stock of late. A leading Liberty street commission man 'said to-day: "I find it impossi ble of late to sell country rolls at a decent price. One of my customers lately shipped me 1,000 pounds with instruetions to sell at what ever I could get, I had to sell it for grease at 2c per pound, and yet It was a fair quality of butter." New Ohio cheese is coming freely, and It is only a question of a few days when qnotations will be reduced. Eegs are in good supply and prices are a shade lower. For job lots 15c per dozen Is now tbe outside price. Strawberries of choice quality are scarce and firm. New potatoes are tending downward. Good old stock is firm. Cabbage of good qual ity are scarce and firm. Lemons and oranges are tending upward. Bananas are quiet at quotations, owlns to liberal supplies. Poultry Is plenty and lower.

With the Latter Decidedly Higher Pork Dull. CHICAGO Trading in wheat was fairly act ive to-day, chiefly on local account. The feel ing was somewb at unsettled, but the market was not so excitable and did not respond so readily to bull influences as a few days ago. Evidently some of the operators who have been on the long side ot the market are trading on the short side now. which tends to keep down the market and prevents prices from advancing so sharply. The market opened about 0KC lower, and prices further declined He then advanced lJiilJc, fluctuated some and closed about He higher for July, Ko lower for August, un changed for September and He lower for De cember than closine prices yesterday. The weather was fine abroad and favorable for the crops here, and with fair offerings and only light demand an easy feeling prevailed early. Bnt news coming on the market was of a char acter to turn many early sellers to buyers, ana a steadv upturn in prices resulted. Bad crop news from tbe winter wheat States was again received. The Cincinnati .Price Current. It was claimed, estimated the croD of the United States at about 425,000.000 bushel3 that is, 275,000,000 bushels of winter, and 150, 000,0001 bushels of spring, with chances of win ter wheat mors likely to go below the estimate than above it. Corn was irctlve and stronger, higher prices being the rule on all futures. Tbe advance was due to local influences though bad crop re ports had some effect, several large commission houses buying freely of July, supposed to be for a prominent provision concern. The mar ket was rather dull at the opening, with first sales a shade under tbe closing prices of yester day, but soon became stronger and sold up ruled easier and closed 1ie better than yes terday. Oats were active and strong, and prices do cidedly higher. Tbe advance was due to mod erate receipts, rather unfavorable drop reports, light offerings and a rood demand for all futures, especially for August and September, which advanced lJQlc on light purchases by a prominent operator. June advanced le and July e, and clnscd the same to c below out side figures. Reports were tbat the crop would be considerably reduced, and advices from Tennessee said tbat the crop in tbat State had been abandoned. Very little was doing In pork, and the feel ing was steady. Prices ruled about lc lower, closing quiet. Quite an active business was transacted in lard, and the market was stronger. Prices ruled 2K6c higher, and the market closed comparatively steady. Trading in ribs was quite active, and the feel ing was stronger. Prices were advanced 2 5c. and the market ivas fairly well supported. The leadlne futures rancea as follows: Wheat No. 2.
