jaKK,a. r?? ;v ;ss, THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY, JUNE " 7, 1890.' 11 ?T 1M M 'IRON TRADE REVIEW. The Upward Movement in the Local Market Fully Sustained. A COKFIDEKT FEELING PREVAILS. Southern Furnaces Overwhelmed hj & Sad den Sash of Orders. TEE SITUATION BOTH EAST AND WEST The upward movement in iron and steel is fully sustained, and prices are a shsde higher than a week ago for Bessemer and gray force irons. Bessemer irons hare been particularly active the past week, and prices are advanced as quotations will dis close. There are reports of gray force sales at f 16 per ton. There is a strong undertone of confidence among manufacturers and dealers as to the future of markets. While there is no boom and the feeling among dealers is rather conservative, trade is steadily Improving, and standard brands are firm and active at quotations. There is no disposition on the part of furnace men to contract lor f ntnre delivery at present prices. Foundry irons are steady at last week's prices. Slock bar is very firm, and prices are a shade stronger. Kails are in better demand than they bave been for a month or two past, and, while there has been no advance in prices, markets are much firmer, and there n no longer a disposition on the part of manufac turers to make concessions as there has been for some time past feteel rail", bloom and billets have also joined in the upward move ment. In (reneral, the Iron and steel outlook is healthy. The situation is better than a boom, as demand is active and prices are slowly bnt surely moving toward a hicber level.

A Sadden Rush or Small Order ! Crowd- Ins the Fnrnnces. rSTXCLU. TZXXORJLKTOTnE DtsrjLTcn.1 Birmingham, ALA., June 6. The iron trade has been very active during the week, but the sudden revival is probably spasmodic Small orders from the Western markets have been pouring in, and several furnaces in this dis trict have sold all the iron they can make this month. All orders coming in no w are for June delivery. The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail road Company sold IS, 000 tons during the week, all for June delivery. These orders will be tilled from their Emsley City furnaces. There has been no chance of prices, but the sudden rush of orders causes furnace men to bold prices very firm and talk confidently of an early advance. There have been no contracts for July and August delivery made, and no iron is offered for those months at present prices. Stocks are low and tbe output is being sold about as fast as made. Fully 60 per cent of the iron that will be made this month has already been sold and will be delivered as fast as possible. All the furnaces in the district are In blast and the weekly output is 13,000 to 16. 000 tons. "Work has begun on two new charcoal furnaces at Briarncld, Shelby count. They will be 75 tons capacity each, and will be completed br December. Contracts bave been awarded for tbe erection of another 100-ton coke lurnace at Talladiga and a 60-ton charcoal furnace at Svllacauga. Tbe new charcoal furnace at BInnTton has been finished and Is in blast. Tbe Jacksonville .Land Company will build two coke furnaces at Jacksonville, contracts having already been awarded for the erection of one of them. Steel making by the Henderson basic process continues a success, and tho steel finds ready sale in the market. The company have already made arrangements to double their plant. PHILADELPHIA UHCHAXGED. Tbe Price There Are the Same, bat the Market Is Firmer. rSFZCIAI, TBIEGRAM TO THI OtflrATrn. J Pbu.acei.fuia, Juno 6. Reports from the West and South announce higher prices for iron. There is no important change to note, however, in the Philadelphia market. When prices sagged after the boom experienced in 1SS3 values did not sink so low here as at other points. The markets which were most mercur ial are the first to feel the influence of the re vival in trade. Cities like Chicago, Pittsburg and Cincinnati are therefore now recording ad vances and are really coming up to the level from which Philadelphia did not descend. Tbe improvement in other markets helped the tone of the Philadelphia market, which rules firm at quotations. Prices arc not higher than tney were at a correspond ing time last year. The cost of production is greater and tbe selling prices heroafter are more apt to be advanced than reduced. Pig iron at tide is worth SIS for Xo. 1, $17 for No. 2 and tl6 for gray forge per ton. Fancy brands will exceed these figures. If furnacemen would shade quotations 23 cents several large orders would be placed. They are holding firm, and it looks as if the buyers will have to meet tbe sellers. A fair range of quotations follows: Bessemer pig at furnace, $20 5021 00 per ton: hot-blast charcoal, $21 5023 00 delivered; cold blast. 26 0027 50: steel rails. $31 5032 00; muck ban, $28 00&2S 50; old rails, tli 50aS5 00 deliv ered at interior mills. Bar iron is in fair de mand, and the mills are kept busy. Merchant bars at the mill are worth 1.80c per pound; skelp grooved, 1.75c; delivered and sheared, 1 95 2 plates. il02.15c; angles at tho mill. 2.10 2.20c; tees, 2.60i75c; beams and channels, 3.10c. A VEEY DECIDED 6PUBT. Tbe Books are More Thun Full nnd Advanced Prices Have Reunited. fErZCIAl. TEI.EGKAX TO THE DISrATCB.! Ceciskati, June G- Rogers, Brown & Co. liy. Tbe last week has witnessed tbe most active spurt we bave had since the beginning of the year. The heavy buying of few preceding weeks resulted finally in an overfilling of fur nace order books, and on Saturday and Monday several companies advanced prices and others withdrew entirely from the market. When buyers finally became convinced that reports as to the strong position of the furnaces were genuine, there was a strong push to get iron for torward deliveries. Since Monday, however, leading sellers have held firmly to 50 cents per ton advance and that has been paid for consid erable quantity of iron without objections. Leading Southern companies have acted very conservatively, not desiring to attempt any ad vance till their position was so strong as to leate no doubt about its being maintained through the summer and fall. In Bessemer iron and other products of lake ores, there has been an advancing tendency also. The whole market looks stronger, and there is a free dis iiositinn to buy lor actual needs. Speculators have figured but little in the heavy purchases made, though statements to tbe contrary are current. SLOW TO BELIEVE IT, CMenco Consumers Forced at Last to Rec ognize ibe Advance, israelii, telegram ro the DuraTcn.: Chicago, June 6. Rogers, Brown A Co. say: Consumers in Chicago and the Northwest, which is at all times a closely debated market, hare been slow to believe the reports from other quarters of firmer and advancing prices. Tbe week, however, has removed all doubts on this bead, and there has been a general disposi tion to take hold. Most of the larger inquiries have been for longer forward deliveries, which many furnaces have positively declined to take unless at considerably better figures. Buyers, however, ha-' been able, for tbe most part, to get what tuey wanted. Southern irons are np oO cents to SI per ton. i&ke Supe rior charcoal iron is fa active demand and is firm in tone, but no advance is noted. Ohio softeners are wanted freeh. but in small lots mainly. Old material rnles higher. Krw Tork Flea re KB1.T?K Jnne &piS iron qniet; Amer ican, J16l&.

Market Basket Materials Abundant and Prices Tending Downward Batter nt Its Lowest Trade Active Tbe Latest Quotations. The supply of vegetables and fruits the week past has been large and general drift of prices has been downward. The first home-grown strawberries of tbe season bave put in their ap pearance within a few da s. and by another week will be at their best Those' from Mary land bave been coming In in rather bad shape the past few days. New potatoes from the South are coming in freely, but last Saturday's prices still hold good. Tbe situation as to but ter and eggs is little changed from a week ago. Butter has touched Its lowest point for this sea son and markets are a shade steadier. Eggs, too, are rather firmer In price than they were a week ago. Staple meats seldom change. At tbe flsb stalls it was learned that frogs, soft shell crabs and brook trout are among tbe fresh ai rivals. There is a fair supply of East ern fish, but none too many for demand. Xhe sbad season is about over. Florins report a fair trade for the week fol lowing Decoration Day, when a lull is looked for. Next Sunday being Children's Day In the churches, the demand for church decorations is active, and beside this there is a full average of weddings and funerals which make demands on floral goods sufficient to keep trade lively.

DEALS ATvPARNASSUS Light Let in on a Subject That Has Cansed Considerable Talk:. " HUNDREDS OP ACRES GOBBLED. Pittsburg's Eapid Growth Kot at the Ex pense of Tributary Territory. THE KEWS A5D GOSSIP OP THE TOWN From information furnished yesUrday evening by Mr. Thomas Liggett, through whose instrumentality much ot the business has been transacted, it can he said that there has been considerable movement in acreage property at Parnassus quite recent ly, but whether in the interest of a town, a glue factory, a hotel or theater is at present unknown except to a few persons, who are as voiceless and close as oysters. The farms of Stephen Young, Alexander Young and Mrs. Seltz, comprising about 360 acres, have already changed hands, and options have been secured on several other properties tbe whole amounting to probably K)0 or 1,000 acres. Prices range from 1350 to t500 an acre. The land already secured gives the purchas ers over a mile of river front and the same on each side of the railroad. It is at least 25 feet above high water mark. The Murraysville natural gas field is only six miles distant and the Pine Bun field seven. The Chartlers gas field on tbe Pinhook anticlinal lies back of Parnas sus about two miles. There is also a seven foot vein of excellent coak Bearing these facts in mind, it is not difficult to reach the conclusion that the purchasers have extensive manufacturing Interests in view, though of what nature they decline at present to divulge. And it would not be sur prising If a new town were to grow up aronnd these works. The entire deal is being put through by Pittsburg capital and capitalists. Rural Towns All Booming. A gratifying feature of the business situa tion is the fact that the growth of Pittsburg is not at the expense of the surrounding country. Local interests are not being developed to the disadvantage of our neighbors. Tbe Polyne sian Islanders, it is said, by continuously row ing in boats, have developed their arms to enormous proportions, while their legs are so weak as to be scarcely able to bear the weight of their bodies. Pittsburg Is the center of an extensive territory which contributes largely to its support, and may be called its legs. To dwarf these in any way would be like killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. Onr capi talists understand this so well that they are always ready to lend assistance to the country when called upon. There is scarcely a town, big or little, within 50 or'lUO miles of Pittsburg, in any direction, that is not full of business. In all of tbem capi talists and investors are laying out lots, build ing and improving at a rate that is almost im possible to realize by those who have not visited them and seen for themselves. As illus trations, take a few within a short distance of the city Braddock, McKeesport, Butler, Wash ington, Beaver, Rochester and others. They are all booming. Building is active and manu facturing interests of various kinds are de veloping at a marvelous rate. Some of tbem have almost doubled In population within four or five years. The value of real estate has in creased in proportion, but there are ten sales to-day where there was one before the tide of prosperity set in. The agricultural Interest has also imnroved. Farms are in better condition than ever before, there are fewer mortgages and farmers are more contented. All this Is directly to the boneftt of Pittsburg. City and country are so Intimately associated that disaster to either will be felt by the other. With prosperity all around, as well as at home, there Is no danger of a collapse. In fact, such a thing IB impossible nnder existing conditions. The spring must fall before the brook goes dry. Business News and Gossip. It is expected that Jbe work of grading Cali fornia avonue will begin in a short time. Citi. zens of the valley are anxious to have the thoroughfare opened. A tract of land of about SO acres, situated near tbe Swissvale machine works, is on tbe market at $5,000 an acre. There is a good de mand for lots m that locality. Tbe Yonngstown Bridge Company, of Yonngstown, has received a contract to build a 35.000 bridge over the Ohio river at Wheeling. John D. Bailey sold 15shares Allegheny Sus pension bridge stock at 96. Tbe Pittsburg correspondent of the Southern Lumberman truthfully says: "Never before has the trade in Western Pennsylvania looked so thoroughly enconraglng as at present. The building operations in view and in progress are far greater than we have ever bad before, and the greatly increased manufacturing interests of this city have made it necessary to add to the resident portions to such an extent that it is almost impossible to get material and work men to complete jobs in specified time," Findlay, O.. capitallstsarenegotiatingforthe purchase of the Panhandle Window Glass Factory at WelMDurg, w. va. iioas Deen idle for several years. The largest mortgage put on record yesterday was for $20,000. There were S3 in all. Fifteen wire for purchase money. The fact that real estate brokers are fre quently seen in the suburbs seven or eight miles from tbe city as early as 8 o'clock in the morning, shows that something is going on. During the first four months of tbe present year 11,490,000 bushels of coal were miued and shipped from Pool No. 3 of the Monongahela river. The previous year, 1SS9, 9,295.000 bushels were mined and shipped from tbe aanio pool dating tbe same first four months, making an increase In favor of the present yearof 2.195 600. a month or so ago It was mentioned in The Dispatch that a site bad been secured in Al legheny, through Algeo Brothers, for a large, flat The project will probably go through, as It has the support of several wealthy gentle men. Since that announcement another deal for the same purpose has taken place, and there will probably be two buildings of the kind mentioned put up this season. They will be seven and nine stories high if present plans are carried out Commercial National Bank stock Is stronger, on the supposition that the JrJy dividend will be Increased from to 6 per cent Rea Bros. & Co. sold SO shares Westlnghouse Electric at SS.

EATHEE BEAEISH. No Boomerang In Locnl Securities, bnt Declines In the Majority. Stock trading amounted to very little yester day, and the feeling was bearish. Declines were in the majority, though in all cases they wero for small fractions and possessed no significance, except to show that orders "at the market" are a scarce article. Enterprise Savings, Wheeling Gas and La Noriawere stronger. Stocks making conces sions, as compared with closing quotations of the previous day.were Central Traction, Pleas ant Valley, Luster and Electric The rest of the list was featureless. Tbe future of Electric depends upon the course that will be pursued by holders. Anything like a general selling movement would undoubtedly cause a bad break.

HOME MONET. A Fair Movement, but Nothing Strange In the Situation. Money was in moderate demand yesterday at the nsual rates, and the supply equal to all re quirements. Beveral bank officers gave it as their opinion that tbe market would continue easy for some time, although they anticipated a fair business through the summer.

Snee & Co.'s No. 1, on tbe Murrin lot at Mur rinsville, reached the pay streak Thursday night and is now flowing 60 barrels an hour. The Straw welL of tbe Robella OH Company, of oeiievue, wnicu came in inursaay, is Doomed for a 500-barreler when drilled.

Oil Drillers Making Things Hum on the Sonthslde Moro Good Wells Struck. Oil operators are not allowing the grass to grow under their feet in the Chartlers, Mon tour run and Forest Grove fields. The latter has become of such importance that a buss now meets trains on tbe Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railway at Groveton to carry people to Forest Grove. There bave been no dusters of late In that field, and the old wells are still doing good work. Several new ones are now on the pay streak. The Enterprise well on the Presbyterian parsonage ground is promising well, and the congregation will probably find tbe church self-supporting, as well as the Lutheran Church at Chartiers, the congrega tion of which have a good producer en their property. The Young No.. 2 is almost com pleted, and is expected to be good. It is about 800 yards from No. 1. Tbe Bridgewater Gas Company has the tim ber for a rig on tbe ground bait a mile east of Robb station, Montour Railway. Further up the creek the Emlow Company yesterday located a well on tbe Alex. Stewart farm, and is about ready to begin operations. The location is at Wilson station. Another well will be bored on the Depp farm sion. near the two wells sank last fall and winter, tbe second of which made a sensation some weeks ago by starting at a 6,000-barreI-a-day rate. It was reported yesterday afternoon that a 1,000 barrel gusher had been tapped on tbe Acklesnn farm, between Frankiort and the Ohio river. The rumors were somewhat vague, but extensively believed to be correct. The Welgerwell on the old Clever home stead, Chartlen field, is making 100 barrel! a day. SUGAR HAS THE CALL. A Rnmor That Spreckela Wan In Cnnsea Qnlis a Flurry Drops on Ibe Denial and Citizens' Gas Leads Rnllroad Bonds Moderate. 1SFECTAL TELSOBAM TO TUB DISrATCH.1 New Yobk, June a The indications on the surface In Wall street were all favorable, but the market remained narrow and quletj and the favorable influences were afterward en tirely neutralized by the demoralization of sugar refineries. The market therefore took on a waiting attitude after the first hour, and the railway list became dull and moved within very narrow limits, wlthont feature of importance The great feature ot the day was the -ngar re fineries again, and the recent advance in the price of refined sugar without a corresponding advance in the cost of the raw article aided in creating a strong tone in the stock at the outset, and later a rumor that Spreckels bad come Into the trust was the oc casion of a rise of about 4 per cent Toward tho close, however, this Tumor was denied, and the selling Immediately assumed large propor tions and a sudden drop from 81 to 75JS oc curred, the rise being at tbe time simply enormous. There was a partial recovery from the lowest price, but the stock is materially lower this evening. The railroad list at first failed to respond to tbe break in Sngar, but It gradually yielded, and in almost all cases the earlv advances of the forenoon were lost. Chicago Gas was tbe weakest stock on the regular list, and its close sympathy with Sugar would account for all of its decline, as there was no news ol any kind of a character to in fluence values in any manner. Among the specialties there were a few marked move ments during tbe day, but the regular list moved within narrow limits throughout. In tbe early dealings, after opening advances of from ii to Ji per cent, Oregon Transconti nental showed the way, but the further gains were only fractional, outside of a few stocks. Sugar rose IK. Citizens' Gas 2J and Quick silver preferred 2 per cent, but tbelr gains xnnrm .ifrerYVAril nartlallv Iosil and Tennessee "Coal was particularly weak, losing IK. The Close was rainer neavy, auu me uuai uuaukco, while irregular and for fractional amounts only, show a majority of losses, and Sugar is down while Citizens' Gas is up . Railroad bonds continue to show a moderate amount ot business, and while the tone of the dealings is still firm considerable irregularity in tbe movements exists, and declines are fairly numerous this evening. The demand rnns to the issues of tbe roads now or lately m f process of reorganization, but the movements even in those issues are not specially wine. Tbey. however, present a firm front and give tone to tbe general market. Tbe sales to-day reached $1,616,000. Government bonds have been dull and firm. State bonds bave been dull and firm. The Pott says: The attention of speculators is now concentrated mainly upon Congress, and tbe movements of the administration is of the greatest importance in influencing the events of prices of stocks. Tbe action of the Secretary of the Treasury yesterday in advanc ing tbe price at which be would accept 1 per cont bonds 1 per cent shows that he is endeav oring to stop the accumulations in the f reasnry, and this, together with the proposition of senator onerman to pay out wuere practical redemption fund held in the Treasury for tbe redemption of national bank notes, creates the impression that the appropriation to be made before tho close of Congress will, m all cases and for all purposes, be made unusually large. Whether correctly or not, the expectation of some legislation on tbe silver question has also become pretty general among tbe specnlatire part of the business community, and all these things combined are the chief elements in causing the advance in prices of stocks just at resent. Eaier money will certainly result in igber prices for stocks. lne following taoic snows tne prices or active stocks on tne New York btock Exchange yester day, corracted dally for the Dispatch by Whithxt & BTXPHENbOK. oldest Pittsburg mem bers of Hew VorV. stocx Exchange, (7 1'onrtn ave nue: Clos-Opcn- High- I,ow- lng lne. est. est.
