STEEL BAIL DEMAND. A Plentiful Supply of Orders Has Caused a Stronger Feeling. FUTURE IKGEEASK OF CAPACITY. Eeported Bale ot Belsian Beams Xot Be lieTed in Kew lork. THE MARKET ACROSS THE ATLANTIC -FrKCTJU. TXr.EO.BJlM TO TltK DIHPATCB.5 IT ew York, June 19 The Iron Age in its issue of to-day has the following: American pic There is quite a run of small orders which are generally taken by the Northern furnaces. The majority of the Southern producers nprjear to have sold so heavily in the West that they have little to offer in this market, and are particularly short of No. 1. We continue to quote No. 1 foundry $1818 50 for standard Northern brands, and $1717 50 for No. 2. Southern No. 1. $1717 50, No. 1 ro't, 516 5016 75. and No. 2, 1616 50. Some contracts for charcoal iron, lor malleable iron works, 'or season delivery have been closed, apparently at verv low prices. A smi!l lot of Michigan Iron was sold in this vicinity at CI 50. South ern charcoal i quoted on the basii of $19 at Alabama furnace, but it is intimated that a re duction to J1S mav be made at an earlv date. Spiegeleisen and ferro manganese There has been no business of am concquei.ce. We con tinue to quote nominally $31 and $31 50 for 20 per cent and $75 and $78 fur SO per n nt ferro. Wire rods We note i ale of l.WO tons of bale tie rods, for delivery during tlio next Ave months, at private term. For soft wire rods $43 and $44 is quoted at seller's mill. STEEL KATES 12T SHArE. Steel rails 1 he majontj of the Eastern mills report that their order books are in (rood shape to September, with snch reserves of capacity as are regarded safe to take care of what each mill considers Its own pirticular trade. In stances have occurred during the week of re fusal on the part of mills to take orders for immediate delivery, and some of them give even less encouragement to brokers than they bave done latelv. There is quite a run of small orders and particularly satisfactory demand for light and street rails. It looks as though the sharp straggle lor sunnier business is virtually over, and producer are now begin ning to study the ground for the coming con ten over fill and winter work. One weighty element in the situation will be the expected competition early in fteptemocr of the remodeled South Chicago mill or the Illinois Steel Company, practically a new plant. which will constitute n. very notable addition to capacitv. There has been some talk that the new rail mill of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, at Spirrow's Point," will lie a factor in the business of the fall and winter. We have good reason to be lieve that it will not be. Although the construc tion of the plant is bciLgpushe I vigorously no date has been set for its completion. It is very doubtful, however, whether it will be running before next spring. We understand that the capacity will be about 1,000 tons per day, but tbat the mill mill be so designed that it can be run economically at a rate less than its full capacity. As it is, the Eastern trade is not likely to feel the ad vent of this new plant during the coming struggle for fall and inter business. During the week under review. Eastern mills report sales aggregating about 10.000. The Sparks order for 20.000 tons, it is understood, has net yet been placed. It is generally acknowl edged tbat all things being eqnal, it viilgoinune m mu ocramuii rams, xue re port of the Board of Control snows sales up to June 1 of l.CSfi.000 tons, and deliveries of 5OT. 000 tons to the same date. This does not include the Alleghem. Bessemer or tbo Colorado mills. We quote $31$31 50. Concessions might be obtained under special circumstances for very desirable desirable delivery, but not so fcadily ns a week ago. the market being undoubtedly stiller for deliveries ui to September 1. We note a sale ot 5,UX) tons early delivery by a Pittsburg mill, at $32 50. NO KNOWLEDGE OF IT. Structural material New York beam manu facturers do not claim to possess any knowl edge of the alleged capture ot a la ce contract in Indianapolis by Belgian makers, which has so deeply agitated the Pittsburg newspapers. Tbey are inclined to be decidedly skeptical as to its.accuracy. Sine the Texas sales no busi ness of any consequence hat been done either In German beams, which compare favor ably with American sections, or in Belgian beams, which do not. For the past year or two very few, it any, for eign beams have sold in tbe New York or New England market, which are so much more readily reached than anv Western point. Tbe price of American beams delivered at Minneapolis is 3.30c It is 3.10c at New York. It is clear that if foreign makers could under sell at tbe Western point named they coul-t do it very much more easily on the Atlantic sea board. The reports of underselling by 25 per cent are simply ridiculous. That would be equal to 2.40c at New York. In those sections of tbe countrv in which they are known, Bel gian beam, with their clumsy section, found customersonlywl.cn the price was Jc less than that of the American beams, and tne'y did not make any headway then. German beams are quoted 160 marks, f. o. b. shipping port, for base size, with 14s freight. With the dutyot 1.25c per B, this maKes the co-t ex-shin 3.11c per ft, without any allown nee for extras, ins, profit, etc. We quote 2.5026c for tees and 3.1c for beams and channels. Fastenings Only a few options of low prices on fish plates are outstanding, and better prices are generally quoted. We qaote ancle. 1.90 1.95c. delivered; nikes. $22 10, delivered, anu bolts anil nuts. 2.o53c Old rails The inquiry continues very large and general, but the majority of sellers are too high, while only a few buyers are willing to bid $21 50. We note a sale ot 5,000 tons of foreign rails. August delivery, to a mill in the Mahon ing Valley, at $26 50 there. We quote $24 50 25 75.

The Iron Age in its Issue to-day has tbe following report of tbe British iron a.nd metal markets: Warrant speculation is attracting more attention among outside operator, and warrants are being steadily taken off the mar- ket by investor, to whom the existing low prices appear to be attractive. Cleveland shipments are still noticeably heavy, and with drawals from all stores have been large thus far this month, Scotch warrants sold nn to 44s. 70. Tuesday, and at 44s. 10d. to-day. Cleveland have improved to 42 and hematites have varied little from 50s. 6d. In pig iron for consumption and export a rather better business bas been passing, with makers' prices for hematite somen bat higher. So cbange on Cleveland, and slightly loner figure for some brands of Scotch and for spiegeleisen. Block tin has declined in price, under the in fluence of realization by holders. The position of supplies continues strong, however, and there is still a very fair business for consump tion. Latest transaction show nearly a complete recovery in prices from the early decline. .French holders have made extensive sales of matteiopper the past week at full prices, and it is reported that their stock of material has been cleared off. Tbe turn over of merchant copper has been enormons. amounting to at least 5,000 tons, with an advance established of over 1 10s on prices, and lively outside speculative in terest developed. Latest transactions show a slight leaction from the highest point. The Liverpool market for tin plate is Ixking firm er. Buyers recognize an advance of 3d per box, and bave purchased quite freely at intervals. Dealers in old iron have been making greater effort to arouse interest, but find great difflcul tj in marketing their holding at satisfactory prices. American Minufacturer's Cable Quotations.

Works Running Full Time and hlpmeiit Generally Increased The Probable Effect of ibe Cleveland Strike. :sreciAL tilegiuh to rax dispatck.1 Scottdaie. June 19 Tbe coke trade is In asplendid condition at present The demand continues to Increase, and some operators com plain tbat tbey cannot fill all the orders. West ern shipments will be far from the standard this week. The decline is attributable to the Cleveland strike, which is a very serious blow to transportation. An operator said to-dav that shipments to Cleveland were being cut off just 50 cars ner day on account of the strike. This in a week will aggregate SOOcar. Many ot the other operators are similarly affected by the strike. With this exception transportation facilities are all right As substantial evidence of an Improvement In the coke trade, many of the works, which recently were making only four davs, are operating five day a week regularly now. A PROMISING OtTTLOOK. No dullness is anticipated for tbo next two or three months, the operators all speaking en couragingly of the outlook. Shipments declined last week and a further decline is looked for this week, because of the drawback to transportation. Prices remain firm at $2 15 for furnace coke. It is authoritatively stated that prices have reached their highest point for this ye.ir. The idle list of ovens is about 3,300, the Hill Farm plant of 110 ovens being added to that list work on new ovens is being pushed vig orously. A number of ovens are nearly enm pleted'at Davidson. An inventory of the Buck eye Coke Works Is being taken this week. Tbe McClure Company will assume charge on July 1. The deal was mentioned in TBE DISPATCH a couple of weeks ago. The Cambria Iron Company. Ralney and a number of other com panies are making the six day run right along. The Stewart Company's works also make S'x days, but tbe output is consumed by their fur nace in Newcastle. The Gratter plant of 500 bas again been dampened for repairs. Shipments last week averaged 1.091 cars per day, as against 1,171 cars per day of the previous week. PITTSBUBO SHIPMENTS increased, as did Eastern shipments. Ship ments were consigned to the various points f consumption as follows: To points west of Pittsburg. 8.350 cars: to Pittsburg ana river points. 1,875 curs: tn points east nf Pittsburg, 1,325 cars; total, 6,550.

One Small Transaction Tells the Storj of the Day on the l.ocal Enhance. THE UKWS -AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI "Pittsburg i not losing any capital," re marked a prominent investor yesterday. "While considerable home money has re cently been exchanged for real estate in Chi cago and one or two other cities, as much or more has ponred in lrom the East and the West and entered into the bnsiness activi ties of the city. In this respect we are even, if not ahead. No city in the country offers better opportunities for money making than Pittsburg, and this will always insure an abundance of capital aud cause the inflow to be greater than tbe outflow. This is seen in the fact that we seldom suffer from financial stringency, and never sepk ontside help to carry forward any enterprise, however im portant it may be. Pittsburg is as near self supporting as is possible in this age of wonder ful works." SoDiethlnB .bout tbo Queer. With a dangerous counterfeit floating through the city, as mentioned in The Dis patch yesterday, a few points on the "queer" and how to detect ir, from a prominent financier, wiVl, no doubt, be of Interest On both the United States notes and gold and silver certificates there are usually small en graved figures under the check letter. The small figures have been printed on all notes since 1852. These should be carefully observed. All Treasury notes issued since 1B69 bave been printed on fiber naper. When examined under the microscope these fibers have, the aopetr ance of coarse black hairs scattered promiscu ously ever tie surface of the note. So far as known none of tbo gold certificates have been counterfeited, but two denomiuations of silver certificates have. 'atiou.il bank notes are divided into three classes the old series, tbe series of 1875 and the series of 1882. All of these series have been counterfeited. Photographic notes are not dangerous, as It bas been found Impossible to reproduce tbe colors. Coloring by band bas been more successful. On tbo recent counter feits that have appeared the tints of the seals and numbers aro excellent, but the general ap pearance of the notes is so bad tbat an ordinary person handling money can readily detect them; but some of the counterfeits are so well executed tbat they escape the trained eyes of experts. Tbe best way for people to do when they receive money is to carefully note from whom they get it If from a stranger, and the note be for a large amount. It should be sub mitted to a competent judge for inspection. This Is the only rule that will apply in all cases and to everybody. The government has been so vigilant and active in routing counterfeiters from tbe East ern and Middle States that very few of them are known to be working in that part of the country. They find the South and West more congenial to their occupation. Stl'l every now and again a counterfeit turns up in Pittsburg or some other city further East, warning tbe people to be always on guard against decep tion. Business Mew a nnd Gossip. Some capital is going away from Pittsburg, but more 1b coming in, leaving the balance on the right side. A big deal Is talked of, in which. It is said, a London capitalist will figure. It is being workel so quietly tbat nothing tangible in re gard to it can be ascertained. The mortgage list yesterday dropped to 23. Tbe largest was 6,000. Eight were for purchase money. Black & Batrd yesterday sold tbe ground rent of the entire block on the west side of bmitb fleld street between Diamond street and Fonrtb avenue. Tbls property was conveyed in 1778 by John Penn and John Penn, Jr., to Nathan McDowell for 12 10, or a little over SOU The ground rent remained in the McDowell family until tbe present sale. Tbe signatures of the Penns are as distinct as when affixed to the deed. A farm specialist remarked yesterday: "1 have a number of farms for sale, but there is scarcely any demand for them. It is always so when business is good in the city. Prices range from J50 to SlOOan acre." National banks have received a circular from the Controller of tbo Currency requesting them to keep a correct account of all receipts, separating the various items into coin, coin certificates, legal tenders, checks, drafts, etc Trustees for tbe People's Savings Bank, nine in number, will be elected July 2 There is said to be a still hunt for stocks of some of the local corporations, but this bas been repeated so often that very little reliance is placed In it If this were so, it would make some impression upon open quotations. Still there may be something in the story. A number of stock and oil brokers yesterday put themselves on record against free coinage. Henry M. Long remarked tbat tbe silver pro ducing interest of tbe West demand free coin age as the price for helping to pass the tariff bill. Directors ot the Richmond Terminal Com pany yesterday declared their regular semi annual dividend of 2 per cent on the preferred stock. The Richmond and Danville directors declared the regular semi-annual dividend of 5 per cent Hovera enta In Itenl Enlnte. A good many investors have left, or are pre paring to leave, tbe city for the summer outing, which in soma measure accounts for the lack of new features in the real estate market. Business, however, is brisk for tho season. Charles Soiners & Co., sold for Robert M. Rlpp to John Eicbler, three lots in the Blair estate plan, each fronting 25 feet on Lytle street, and in depth 120 feet to an alley, for 725; also for same to Qua Meir, lot 25x120. in same plan, fronting on Lytle street for $575; also cold for Charles Somers to Mrs. Mary Mc Nally, six lots iu Benton place, being Nos. 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22, each 21 feet on Benton ave nueand in depth 110 feet to an alley, for 12,400 cash.

UP TO THE MAHK. Bank Flcnrci Show No Unit In the Activities of tbe City. Checking and depositing at the local banks were up to the mark yesterday, and there was a good demand for money with a plethoric store to draw from. Rates were unchanged. Exchanges were $2 685,000 75 and balances 1333.650 89. These figures show very little bait 111 tbe activities or the city.

Next to KothloE Dolnc In Homo Securities Bids nnd Often. The first stock call yesterday resulted in one sale, 20 shares of Electric at S9K. This was dis appointing, and better things were predicted for the afternoon. But the last call was worse than the first, for it passed without a single transaction. There were no price changes of importance. Bridgewater Gas was wanted at 58, and Phila delphia could Jiave been sold at 31& The trac tions were about steady. There is not likely to be much of a change In any of tbe specialties until after the July settlements. FinST EECOKD CALL. CALL. 11 A B A l'ltts. I'etro s. M. Ex 415 420 415 ......

The God's-first-temple air that erstwhile en veloped Forest Grove has so completely disap peared that one who had not been there for a year would scarce know the place. The screech of steam, the swishing sound of swift flowing oil as it goes into the tanks, groaning of bull wheels as they raise two tons' weight of tools and cable, the groaning that accompanies tbe vomit of the gushers, the sound of spudding, of tbe hammer and saw and the many othej unusual noises that greet tbe ear seem strangely incongruous In that stronghold of Calvinism. One might suppose that ttio farm ers in the vicinity had all taken snmmor boarders were it not that tbe guests display an expanse of flannel shirt and blue overalls tbat di'pels the illusion. If the thing Is kept up much longer there will be a forest of derricks instead of trees. 1 he John Young well No. 1, called by the drillers the "preacher" well, is said to be good lor 50 lo 60 barrels a day. The McElberron No. 1 ought to reach tho same to-'morrow. The in dications for a payer were pronounced good yesterday. Much troublo bas been experienced on tbe Nier farm well, half a mile south, which has been delayed by several fishing Jobs and will not likely reach sand much short of a month. The Bridgewater Gas Company has about com pleted a rig half a mile east of Robb station and a mile south of Forest Grove. The oldest well in tbe grove the Vandergrift well, tho original, on the A. B. Young farm, is still doing between 300 and 40U barrels a day, and still seems to have consider able gas. It is hard to tell what tho Churcb well is doing, as they are pumping it and the gas pressure gives considerable trouble. The Young No. 2 should reach sand to-morrow. They are fishing In the well on the Robert Ferree farm, near the mouth of Montour run. The Arras and the Kendall No. 2, in Coraopo ll. are both small producers. There was some talk of shooting them yesterday. THE BEABS BEATEN. Wall Street Ruldera Defeated nnd With draw Tho Market Well Supported Railroad Troubles and Gold Milpmenta the Tnlk. Hew York, June 19 The stock market to day witnessed the completion of tbe raid begun yesterday, and. while there was marked anima tion in the forenoon with further depression in values, the pressure was removed later in the day and dullness followed, w.th some Improve ment in values upon the covering of shorts. The bears found that tbe decline bad reached a point wnen stocks ceased to come out; hold ers were buyers again, and tho raid suddenly ceased as it was started. 1 he dealings are still almost purely profes sional, and while operators for a rise are not taking an active pan In tbe dealings at tbe mock Exchange, tbey are not inclined to part with their holdings at less than the ruling prices, but raids like that of yesterday and tbis morning require some support to be given tbe market anil it as forthcoming at tho openilg this forenoon. Tbe strnggle Mas sharp nndise vcre for a short tune, but the bears soou re tired, and as soon as tbe pressure was removed tbe market sank away into d mines-, witb'suiua appreciation of values lrom the operations of tbe belated shorts. The till: of tbe street is now more about rail road troubles and gold shipments, .i Binall lot more of the latter having been ordered for sulfment to-day, although its Influence bad been pretty well discounted In the market and was not perceptible. The figures show that the FRIDAY, JUNE 20, Bank of Germany holds about $20,000,000 less cold than it did a year ago, and the Bank of France about $5,000,500 more than it did at that time. The rnmor is tbat the Chancellor bas ordered an evening up of tbe difference, and hence the exports from this port, as there is no more to be Aad In London. That the tranac tions are made at a loss is without doubt though the ueaT7Sfeir to prove that the rato of exchange on Berlin will permit It being done without loss. In the market to-day the pressure at the opening by tho traders who were contlnnine the raid haa the efTect of opening the market on" from ii to k Der cent, with exceotional de clines in a few stocks. The resistance met with, however, at the concessions soon caused a cessation of the operations, and before noon tho market had drifted back into dullness, with prices once more on a level with those of the opening. The news or the afternoon was con sidered more favorable to the final passage of a silver bill, and the traders went in to bring about a rally, aud the covering of shorts was soon a factor in a slow but steadyappreciation of values, which before the closu had brought most of the list up to small fractions above last evening's figures. Chicago Gas was a leader in ihe advance, and Jersey Central also made sharp progress, the two stocks closing 1 and 1 per cent respectively higher than last evening. The close was quiet to dull but firm at the improvement. The rest of the list was gen erally small fractions better than last evening. Railroad bonds were quiet and rather heavy throughout the session, and on a business of $1.300,i'00 there were no active features, and most of the final changes of importance aro in tbe direction of lower figures. .Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been neglected. The Poll -ays: Tbe exports of gold in the past week have done more than anything else to aid tbe bears in depressing tbe stock market Tbe causes of tho export movement are obscure and therefore have attracted tbe more attention. Sterling exchange in this market is Kc on the pound, too low jet to admit of the export of gold to London Without loss. But there is an unusual condition of tbe exchange markets in both Berlin and Paris in tkeirfavorand against London, wbicb justifies the export of gold to Berlin and possibly also to Paris. It is quite well known that this Is not due to a commercial trade balance in their favor, and therefore must be due to the changing of investments, especially on the part of capital In Berlin. Tbe fact that tbe gold goes from the United States does not necessarily prove that the Germans have been selling American securities, but it is quite plain that by the selling of some sort of luvestmcntvthey are drawing specie from London. During the week the Bank of England Inst 300,000 on balance and the reserve Is down to 39 18 100 per cent, against 41 81-100 per cent last Meek. Ihe bank does not advance its rate of discount to-day. It remains at 3 per cent, but the open market rates of discount are np to 2 per cent, which is much nearer to the bank rate tban usual, and the rates for bankers' balances in London were up to 2 and fyi tbis afternoon, ajairst lli this morning. Whatever may be the nature of the changing of investments in Germany, which has tnrned the Exchanges in favor of Berlin and against London, and through Berlin has affected Pans, it is plain that the Bank ot England does not regard it as more than tem porary. The gold goes from tbe United States, however, only because we can spare it better than the Bank of England, and does not neces sarily prove that Europe is selling American securities. If this was the case the rates for sterling would show it more positively. It ap- Eears as yet to be more a balance in favor of erlin and against London alone than against this country.

The Scarcity Not So Alnrmlnc ne Had Been Fenred. The scarcity and high price of ice this season have served to develon artificial methods of production to such a degree that markets are on the decline. The fear of an ice famine has proved groundless. A number of large freez ing machines have been put up in the city to meet the want, and one of three, it is reported, has a daily capacity of 100 tons. When the sea son opened ice dealers wero nnwllling to con tract for less tban 50 to 60c per hundred, in large quantities. The rates last year were 17c per hundred. A Diamond Market butcher said to day: "I havo had to pay 50c per hundred pounds this season for very mean ice. Last Year tne cost was auuufc uuc-iuuu buis aluuunu Within the past few days I have bad offers to furnish first-class manufactured ice at 10c a hundred less tban I have been paying." In large quantities ice can be had now at 35c per hundred, and by another month it is expected that prices will go still lower. Ihe ice of the future promises to be the man ufactured article. Certainly, pond ice is a tiling of the past Necessity has taught tbat a better article at lower prices tban tbe stagnant pond's produce cau be furnished for refriger ators. Though our ice is likely to cost much more this season tban ordinarily, it would be 33 per cent less tbau tbe general estimate a month ago. And besides this, the famine has had the good effect of drawing out tbe ingenu ity and energy ot producers, so that in the future we will not be 60 dependent on the weather as wo havo been in times past. Said one or tbe largest consumers of ice in tbe city: "lean now contract for tbe furnish ing or ice 25 cents per hundred weight below what I could have done at tbe beginning of the season." muuiiuti wwuiiu uiiAni. 512 AND 514 SMITH FIELD STBEET.
