BOOM AT BRADDOCK. Edgar Thomson Works Are Forced to Enlarge Territory FOR THE KEW CONVERTING HOUSE. Orders on the Books Sufficient to Take the Year's lield. HARDWARE TRADE KOff AT ITS BEST office or rnrsBUEO Dispatch, J Ttjesdat. June 17. 168a ( At the Edgar Thomson Steel Works fully 1,300 tons of Bteel rails are turned out every day, and orders are now booked sufficient to take the. entire output for the balance of this year. It is expected that Purnace I will be in blast by the 1st of August, alter which the output will be not less than 1,500 tons of rails daily. Furnace C, which has been recently relined, was lighted last Fri day, and has been doing splendid work. It yielded over 200 tons of No. 1 Bessemer iron in yesterday's run. Furnace B will be blown out next week, and it is the intention of the managers to remodel this furnace and utilize it for tho manufacture of ferro-mau-ganese. The four converters now in use at the Edgar Thomson have proved inadequate for the work required, and it has become a necessity to en large to the extent of two new converters. At first it was thought that the present building would furnish the needed spaco for the new converters. It has. however, been discovered that the space is too contracted, and the com pany is iiegotiating for the purchase of six acres on the banks of Turtle Crock, cast of the works, for a now converting house. Tho property belongs to the McKenncy heirs. When the works first started two converters were found ample for a number of years. And when two mre ere added a few years ago, it was thought thatall requirements would bemot for many years to come. Now, an additional pair of converters has become necessary to meet grow ing demands of trade. The new con verting house will require an outlay of not less than $300,000. Each converter will cost, when fitted up. about 3,000. Tho Brut Eqnlpprd Works In the Country. The new purchase ot land will rcq uire an out law of about 560,000 or 510.000 per acre. A num ber of newly invented appliances for converters are to be added. The Edgar Thomson works will, when the nine furnaces and the six now converters are in full operation, be the best equipped rail works on the planet. An illustration ot the advance in real estate at Braddock since the Carnegies planted them selves there is furnished by the price paid for the late addition. The ground for the onginal plant was purchased at $500 per acre. This was less than 30 years ago. Tho six acres which it is now found necessary to .purchase, and which for agricultural purposes is of little value, has jumped to a value of 10,000 per acre, a twenty fold increase. It is doubtful if any city of the State can show a better record in the line of prosperity and growth in the past decade than that on onr eastern border, where the father and founder of our Republic gained his first laurels and proved himself a man of affairs. In Hardware Lines In an Interview with one of our leading job bers in this line to-day it was developed that the situation and outlook of this trade were never better than now. The demand is active for all lines of goods. Both wire and cut nails have advanced slightly the past w eek or two under the strong demand. There is no longer the dis position to make concessions on card rates of nails, as there was with manufacturers a month or two ago. The demand for fly screens has exceeded anything in the past- One dealer re ports June sales in this line, fully 33 per cent greater than for the corresponding period of last year, and demand shows little sign of let ting up. The only exception to tho great demand for everything in the hardware industry, is in the line of refrigerators. The scarcity and high price of ice have had a chilling Influence on this department of the trade, and the amount ot goods handled will, no doubt, fall below that of last season. The teeling is general and strong with our hardware jobbers that the fall trade will he first-class. Orders for fall begin in July, and all dealers are strong in the faith of a good fall season.

Some of the cheaper grades of clothing woolens were opened, and there were salrs of heavy worsteds at an advance of S per cent over last year's prices.

Prints were selling fairly well to the far-off trade. MAEKETSBY TOE. Wheat Unsettled mid Nervous A Fair Trade in Corn Oats Decidedly Stronger Comparatively Little Doing; In roik. CHICAGO The wheat market was qulto un settled, and had a nervous foeling to-day. Tho opening was rather weak, and prices declined J$lc, very evidently due to flno weather and unfavorable European market advices, and in fact influenced by a continuation of the weak ness which set in yesterday. Later it became firmer, and prices were advanced 11c, held quite firmly and closed about (gc higher than yesterday. Trading was quite active, both on the early decline and also after ward on the upturn. The early weakness again Drought out considerable 'long" wheat, and the failure of a firm on the long side assisted the early declone. Corn was traded in to a fair extent, the mar ket rulinc quite active and the feeling unset tled. The market opened weak, and under free offerings sold off e. ( A better demand then springing up started the local crowd to coveting in July, and it sold up JlSJic, ruled steady and closed & higher than yester day. Oats were active and'decldedly stronger and higher, particularly lor the newcrop deliveries. Offering were not large, operators being afraid to sell with any degree of trecdom. and prices advanced Jiglc. and the gain was mostly main tained until the close. The near futures sym pathized with the others to a moderate extent, but prices only advanced Jc. Trading in pork was limited. Prices exhib ited little change. A fair trade was reported in lard. Prices favored buyers, though tho close showed a little more steadiness. Tiadmg in short ribs was moderately active, with feeling steady. Fair offerings early caused a slight reduction in prices, but a little more inquiry about the middle ot the session tended to a moderate rally in prices.

He Nails a Misstatement and Gives Some Interesting Figures. A GOOD 0DTL00K FOE THE TEAK. Very Little Life in Stocks or Oil, With the Outlook Far From Kosy. THE MEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITI A short time ago a statement appeared in one of the city papers to the effect that 1,000 houses wonld be built this year in the Wil kinsbarg district. This was good news to the citizens of that thriving borough, but unfortunately it was greatly exaggerated. In conversation with The Dispatch rep resentative yesterday evening, Mr. lloffatt, one of the leading bnilders of that former ward of the city, estimated the number of houses that will probably be erected in that district the present season at 30a This Includes all that have been comploted since the begin ning of the year. In speaking of other districts. Mr. Mottatt expressed the opinion from what be had heard and seen, that what is known as East Liberty would show up with about L500. and the rest of the city with something like 3,000-a total of 4,500 against 3,154 last year. He added: "Building down the Fort Wayne railroad in Allegheny, and on the Soutbside is on a much larger scale than last year. Should no ob stacles Interpose between now and the end of the season, the number of new buildings in Pittsburg and suburbs this year will be more likely to reach 6,000 than fall below that num ber. The houses, too, aro of a much better class than in any previous year. We are mak ing rapid advances in architecture. The homes of Pittsburg already vie with those of any other city. We will have a model city in a few years." Business New and Gossip. 'Business in acreage was never so active as now. As most. of these tracts have been or will be cut up into lots, the supply of building sites if not likely to run short for some time. It also has a tendency to keep down prices. The most important mortgage put on record yesterday was for 54,000. There were 33 alto gether. Eighteen, or nearly one-half, were for purchase money. Fifty men were at work on California ave nue, this side of Woods' Run, yesterday. There is a cut there of 80 or 35 feet, which is the deepest ono on the road. Considerable filling will be necessary through tho Bennett property. At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad at Cincinnati yesterday, C. W. Fairbanks, W. A. Proctor and H. F. Shomaker were chosen di rectors in place of Julius Dexter, Russell Sage and Sidney Dillon. President Dexter there upon retired in favor of M. D. Woodford. The annual report showed net earnings for the year ending March 21, 1890, to have been 11,400, 915, an increase of 51,327 over 1SS9. The suit in volving the validity of the so-called preferred stock has not been settled. The fact that the market prices of Pittsburg bank stocks in most cases exceed the book value speaks well for those institutions, and shows that they are in demand as investments. Applications have been made to tho Con troller of the Currency by -E. H. Pitch and others for authority to organize a new national bank at Ashtabula, O. The Board of Managers of the Bankers and Bank Clerks' Mutual Benefit Association will hold their monthly meeting at 4:30 r. M. to-day, in tho parlor of the Iron City National Bank. Henry M.

An agent of the Anhenser-Busch Brewing Company, of St. Louis, who was in the city yes terday, stated that they had bad an offer of 512,000,000 by an English syndicate for their plant. It was declined. Things were very quiet on Fourth avonue yesterday a condition due to the intense heat. Buttermilk and ice water were the popular beverages. Movements in Real Estate.

Midsummer dullness prevailed in the local stock market yesterday. No original packages were handled, and the few broken lots traded in amounted to only 44 shares. Bank of Pitts burg, Philadelphia Gas aud Airbrake- were the only things that held their heads above water. Bank of Pittsburg and Airbrake were strong er, the former passing all previous quotations. There was no change worth notiug in the natu ral gassers. except Bridgowatcr, which was bid up to 58. There was some demand for Electric at 38 to 3 The tractions were about steady. Manufacturers' Gas was offered at 20, without bidders. In the majority of cases the last prices were the best of the day. riRST CALL. 11 A SECOND CALL. A Pitts. 1'etro.

A Kevr York Financier's Drflniilon of tbe Word Balances. Some time ago a financial writer in Pitts burg wrote to the manager of the New York Clearing House for an explanation of the word "balances." Manager Chaplin hid told him it possessed no business significance at all, but bethought differently. The answer received from New York was, in substance: "Balances concern tbe banks, and have nothing to do with business with tbe public They do not represent business in anyway. They are excesses of settlements between the banks what is loft to each after they have squared up with each other. They may be large or small. In neither event do they have any bearing upon tho volume of trade or show what the banks have done." Hero Is an in stance proving the correctness of this state ment. One of the city banks that always stands well up in business, came into tbe Clear ing House yesterday with only 16 cents of balances to its credit, although its transactions amountod to about 540,000. Banks frequently come out even. Business at the local banks yesterday pre sented no features demanding special com ment. There was a fair borrowing demand, which was met at 6 per cent for the most part. Funds were in good snpoly and working toward greater ease in consequence of heavy deposit ing, due to activity in trade. Currency and ex change were on a level, 'ibe exchanges were 52,491,178 15, and tho balances $190,517 53.

P00E DAY FOE TRADE. An Intensely Dull Stock Market The Ore Son Transcontinental Circular Re celved With Disfavor Its Stock on the Decline. new Yoek. Juno 17. The waiting attitude of operators on both sides of tbe market again resulted in making an intensely dull stock ma rket to-day, which possessed even less feature than that of yesterday. The little in terest which was manifested in Sugar Refineries yesterday seemed to have disappeared entirely, and the trading in that stock was the smallest for any full day for months, while its fluctua tions were on an equally limited scale. Tbe transfer books closed to-day for the payment of the recently declared dividend of 2 per cent, and the Boston Stock Exchange was closed to-day, being the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill, and as there was no de cision on the Sugar caso by the Court of Ap deals, there was nothing to base an opinion as to the course of tho stock in the future noon. The only real feature in tbe market to-day was the weakness in Oregon Transcontinental, owing to tbe disfavor with which the circular to stockholders has been received. Tbe friends of tbe management, however, say that the sentiment will not be far-reaching, and as tho merits of the scheme become known tbe stock will again appreciate in value. The selling to day alo was of the same professional char acter as usual for tbe past few days, and the decline is probably tbe feeling of the market by tho bears. Tbe news of tbe day contained the usual installment of advices of rate-cutting and disagreements in the West, but these were fairly offset by the reports of earnings and tho small progress made toward complete harmony among the roads in that section of the country. Tbe course of tho Lake Shore, which has met with so much censure, seems to have only caused a cessation of tbe late animation in the Vanderbilt stocks, but as that is shared bv the entire list it probably signifies nothing. There were 5500,000 more gold tor export by tbe samo firm wbich sent the last lot, but no information as to the character of tho shipment could be obtained, other than it goes to Germany and tbe rates of exchange on that point permit it to be made without loss. It, of course, had its influence in aiding tho declines, but the trading was so limited that tho effect was, no one thing counted for much. The traders had the mar ket all to themselves. The opening was lower in sympathy with London and until the last hour there was a slow but steady yielding of values, which, however, only in Oregon Trans continental reached anything of importance. The shorts wont in to cover late in tbe day, tho reports of the progress in making a silver bill helping tho advance, and the Trusts were especially strong, i;uicago uas moving up nearly 2 por cent. The close was dull but firm, but still at small fractional losses for the day in tbe great majority of the list The late recov ery brought up Oregon Transcontinental and it lost only a fraction, and thcC only important Anal change was the gam of l'A per cent in Chicago Gas. Railroad bonds woro also slightly more active, the total sales being $926,000. but thcro was less pronounced oharacter to the market, and the final changes are in but few instancos of any Importance. St. Paul Consols are off 2 percent. Government bonds have been dull and firm. State bonds have been dull and steady. The Post says: The Union Pacific report of net earnings for the four months to April CO, shows very clearly which are the prosperous parts of its system. The net earnings of the entire 8.036 miles of the whoio system were 83,191 241, against 83.055,234 in tbe same period last year on 7,851 miles, an increase of only 136,007, or 4.4 per cent. The cause of this rather poor showing was in the large decrease of earnings of the Oregon Navigation Com pany, which didn't earn Its operating expenses lor the four months by (166,820. Instead of hav ing net earnings of $252,427, as in the same period of 1889, and couseqnently shows a de crease of (419,247. This, of course, affected the earnings of the Oregon Short Line, to which tbe Oregon Navigation is leased, and the Oregon Short Line net earnings for the four months were consequently only $567,851, against $712,874 in the same tlmo last year. It was onlv the largo earnings of the Union Pjclflc, Denver and Gulf nhlch saved tbe re port of tho whole Union Pacific system from being a very bad one. The Union Pacific, Den ver and Gulf surplus earnings for the four months were 440,976, against $166,803 In the same time last year, an Increase or 164 per cent. The total fixed charges of tbe Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf for the year 1890 are about $1,260,000, and at the rato of surplus earnings for the four months tbe company Is earning at the rate onearly $1,330,000 per annum. This is remarkably good for a newly opened line, and indicates the probability that tho $31,151,000 of WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, Union Pacific.
