THE SITUATION IN WEE RODS.
A Pronounced Demand in England for Tin
to Go to America
BECAUSE OP TARIFF LEGISLATION
rtrKCIAtTELIGBAMTO Tltt OTSPA.TCH.:
XewYokk, Julyl". The Iron Age in
its issue of this date quotes the American
octal markets as follows:
American pig The Hew York market is
Tery quiet, the only point worthy of interest
being indications of weakness in gray forge,
which has been offered, for rood Northern
brands at a shade less thau ?15, delivered.
Southern furnaces are doing very little in
this market, and aro showing little disposition
to force sales. We quote No. 1 northern iron,
f 17 25Q18 50; So 2. $16 00317 00, and Southern
iron, So. 1. J17 00S17 50: No. 1 soft, $16 50
16 73; ana Mo. 2, $16 O010 25.
Spicgeleisen and ferro-manganese Abso
lutely nothing lias been done in Spiegel. There
is no demand whateTer and very little offered.
We quote nominally $3030 50 for 20 per cent.
Ferro is selling in small lots at $72 50. For
larger blocks lower figures would probably be
accepted. A feature whicli appears to be grow
ing in importance in the ferro trade is the de
mand from car--Leel founders. This business
has been growing during the past year.
Wire rods The only sales reported are small
lots of foreign basic for home consumption and
one lot or 1.U0U tons of German basic for Pitts
burg delivery, to be ued for re-export, at pri
vate terms. Foreign rods can be purchased at
a low price, relatively, it the buyer is willingto
take the chances on the duty. In that case
$45 0046 00 can be done tor sixes. Some con
cession is obtainable, too, on sailer shipment.
For foreign rods, sellers assuming all risks.
$47 004S 00 is quoted. Eastern mills quote
$45 00, at sellers1 mill, but there is very little
available. In fact it looks as though there
would be quite a scarcity ot wire rods for some
time to come.
Steel billets There has been very little busi
ness. It is worthy of note, however, that we
are approaching the dancer line, so far as im
portations are concerned. Foreign billets can
bo laid down here at a little under $33.
Steel rails The market is very dull, with
only small transactions being closed on the
basis ot S31S31 50 at mill, Pitthurg quotations
being S326& and Chicago S3 50SS4. The ma
jority of the mills are well supplied with or
ders'up to October 1, although -omeof them
could take business for September delivery.
The only large orders now in the market lor
the Eastern mills is a lot of 7.500 tons for a
Southern road. Savannah delivery, with an
option of 2.000 tons more. Considering every
thing, the volume of business during the first
half of the jcar was fairly satisfactory. The
report of the board of control shows shipments
for the first six months of 713,205 tons, to which
one Western firm contributes 137,207 tons, and
another Western mill 151,931 tons. As previ
ously reported by us, the bcranton Steel Com
pany shipped 101,143 tons, leading by 25 per cent
the next larcest Eastern mill. It should be re
membered, however, that these reports do ncit
Include light rails, nor do they count the Al'e
gheny ortbeCoIorado mills. It is safe tn sav that
they rail product of the first half of '90 will bo
found to be somewhere between 773,000 and fc00,
000 gross tons. Outof the total allotment of 1,
410.000 tons the mills in the association report
tales aggregating 1.190.516 tons. Thev have
thcrernr on their books for the scconil half of
1S90 477.311 tons, or about three months work.
How completely the tone of the English mar
ket has changed since prices there were nearly
equal to our own is shown from the fact that
English rails have been sold at the range of
$26 5027, delivered at iiontrcal. We under
stand that nearly 25,000 tons have been placed.
Structural material The strikes at a num
ber of the mills arc cutting off the supply of
finished material, and the tone of the -narket
is a little firmer. We quote: 2.152.20c for
plates. 2.20-2.25c for angles, 2.52.Cc for tecs
and 3.1c for beams and channels.
Old rails Several thou-aml tons of old rails
were sold during the week at private terms,
closing out the holdings of one party. Sellers
generally quote $23. but buyers arc in the ma
joiitv of cases unwilling to go beyond $21
21 50 in their bids.

AMEEICAH DEMAND TOE TOT
The Feature of the Brill. Ii Metnl Market nt
Present.
rs rrciAt. TELtonJiM to tiii ctfipi.Tctt.i
New Yoiik, July 17. The Iron Age in its
isue of to-day has the following from London:
Trices for block tin have advanced under
strong demand, chiefly from the American
market. The rise in the price of silver, how
ever, served to restrict shipments from the
East to some extent, which fact, in connection
with the moderate stocks here and heavy con
sumption, operated to excite local interest and
strengthen prices. Copper declined slichtly
during the early portion of the week
under review, but a recovery has since then
taken place and the market is again strong,
with merchant bars up to 5S 5s, cash. It is re
ported that the bulk of the copper recently in
French hands has passed into the possession of
a strong combination ho expect to realize
much higher prices shortly, owing to present
position of supplies and enormous consumption
for electrical and other purposes.
Of Scotch pig iron warrants only small sales
have been made, but prices moved up to 45s 9J.
Some influence came from the announcement
that three furnaces have been damped. An
unexpected calling up of Cleveland contracts
on Thursday last caused a rnsh to cover on the
art of the bears, and the shorts have since
lad to pay prices that the longs dictated.
Uuyers of hematite warrants have been hold
ins; off, but prices improved slowly. Old iron
rails have teen moderately active, with more
calls from America, and sales are reported
made recently at 3 f. . b. for flanges.
The progress of the American tariff bill over
shadows all other influences bearing upon the
tin plate market at the present time liuyers
are active and makers very hrm. Many orders
have been booked and there is a large demand
from ban Francifco and the oil trade. It is re
ported that considerable orders for steel blooms
haebecn received from the States. Other
wise there is no new feature in the steel trade
apart from a small rise on wire rods. Reports
from the German centers state that the de
mand there for pig iron is slack and that stocks'
continue to Increase. The alelingriffith Tin
Plate Works, near Cardiff, have been closed.
American Manufacturer's Cable Quotations.
Scotch Pig Warrants declined a fraction,
but have since rallied under the influence of a
"squeeze" in Cleveland and the shutting down
of wo or three furnaces. For makers' iron
there is a very fair demand, but prices continue
somewhat irregular.

A READY MARKET.

rMTCCIAt. TELEGHAM TO THU DISPATCH.!
Scottdale, July 17. Despite the fact that
the summer depression has set in. the coke
trade was quite active last week. Shipments
increased considerably over the week before.
The remarkable showing is attributed to In
creased orders from Eastern and Western con
sumers. There was no coke that accumulated
on the yards, as there was a ready market for
the entire output.
Transportation facilities were all that could
be desired, there being no superfluity of cars,
but a sufficient supply.
The works surrounding Dunbar have recov-
erea from the effects of the disaster and are
about all in full resume again. Predictions
are not dared on what will be the outcome of
this week as the coke trade seems to be a sort
of uncertainly now. It may fall below last
week's record, which is an unusually good
showing at this period of theyear. The quick
ness and energy which characterized the move
ments in coke circles last week reminded
many operators of the former months of
January and February. Large companies still
report some new and increased orders.
1 he II. C Frlck Company have fired a num
ber of idle oveus at Tiptop and Mammoth, and
have let the contract for the erection of 70 new
orens to Oliphant. The McClure Company
have bred SO new ovens at Lemon, Isaac Tay
lor has fired his Atlas and Morrell plants of 4S0
ovens, and Humphrey's Great Bluff Works has
also been resumed. By actual count there are
but few over 2,500 idle coke orens in the whole
region, and that is commented on by all oper
ators as being a remarkaDlo showing for the
two slack mouths of the year. A number of
furnaces in the West and other points bale
closed down for relining and other repairs, and
on resuming early in the fall their empty stock
houses will need stocking up. Uul ess all indica
tions fail, the fall trade will be excellent.
Production was restricted last week by the
Wednesday shutdown. The Southwest and a
number of other companies made the six-day
run and may maintain it throughout the sum
mer. Shipments last week were the largest for
several weeks past. They averaged 1,032 cars
per day and w ere 600 cars in advance of the
week before. Pittsburg and nver shipments
decreased 100 cars, while Western and Eastern
shipments increased 4U0 and 300 cars respec
tively. The distribution was as follows: To
points west of Pittfburg, 8,700 cars; to Pitts
burg and river points, 1,700 cars; to points east
of Pittsburg. I,lo0 cars: iota, 6,550 rars. This
is the record for the preceding week: To points
west of Pittsburg, 3,300 cam; to Pittsburg and
river points, 1,800 cars; to points east of Pitts
burg, &50 cars; total, 5,950 cars.
Prices for coke are: Furnace coke, $2 15;
foundry. $2 45; crushed. $2 65; all f. o. b. at
ovens per toD of 2,000 pounds.

ALL THINK ALIKE.
Opinions of Brokers in Keal Estate
Eejjarding the Market.
ACTIVE AND THE OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Local Speculative Interests Held Downey
Bearish Influences.
THE HEWS AKD GOSSIP OP THE CiTI
To ascertain the views of real estate bro
kers as to the condition of trade this mid
summer season, a number of them were in
terviewed yesterday with the following re
sult. The striking feature of this symposium
ot opinions is its optimism. From first to
last agreement is perfect that the market is
active for the time of year, and the outlook
all that could reasonably be desired.
J. B. Larkin fc Co. We are having a good
deal of inquiry for city and suburban proper
ties. The market is in good shape and active
for the season. The outlook for fall trado is
favorable.
Alles & Bailie We are very busy. The pros
pect for fall trado is exceedingly good. "Values
are firm for all kinds of properties. There are
no signs of a reaction.
Charles Somers fc Co. The market is in a
good condition. Judging from the numerous
inquiries there will certainly be a good fall
trade.
Baxter, Thompson & Co. The market is
surprisingly active for midsnmmer. and the
future Is encouraging. The supply of business
houses is short, of the demand. Pittsburg
wonld grow much faster if this want were
supplied.
W. A. Herron & Sons There is a slight lull
owinc to the hot weather, but there is nothing
wrong with the market. Small houses are In
demand. Almost any number of them could
be sold or rented.
Straub fc "Morris We have done twice as
much this summer as we did in the correspond
ing months last year. We have escaped the
usual hot-weather lull.
Samuel W. Black t Co. Business is good
and the outlook better. The market is on a
sound basis.
C. H. Love Business Is a little quiet just
now. The weather is too hot for hustling. In
quiry is good, prices firm, with prospects
bright.
Black & Baird Business with us has been
brisk all through the season. We have had no
lull. Our sales this month and last almost
equal those of the busiest times in the spring
and fall. Conditions and prospects are favor
able. Thomas Liggett I have no complaint to
make. Business is remarkably brisk for the
summer. I thiuk there Will be a heavy fall
trade.
Reed B. Coyle Times are good and will grow
better as the season advances. I am very busy.
IraI. Burcbfleld The large number of im
portant deals concluded this summer is evi
dence of an active market. The future is
bright; financially and otherwise.
Builncsn Nriv and Gossip.
Business was quiet on Fourth avenue yester
day, partly on account of the Allegheny cele
bration, but it was more particularly due to the
intense beat. It was too hot even for gossip.
The Fenn avenue deal at $1,900 a foot, re
ported yesterday caused considerable talk in
real estate circles. It marks an advance on
that thoroughfare of fully 60 per cent in less
than five years. What effect this will have on
contiguous properties remains to be seen, but
it is feared it will not be conducive to activity.
The reason why mortgages are not published
in this column is that their lndeflniteness of
location frequently casts suspicion on unin
cumbered property. This is unjust and annoy
ing to the on ncrs.
W. A. Herron & Sons hare sold five lots on
Robinson street, Thirteenth ward, within a few
days. This shows that the demand for prop
erty is not exhausted.
Fifth avenuo extension, within ten minutes'
walk of the Court House, Is a good field for the
erection of business houses, with fiats on tho
upper floors. A building of this description
will be commenced there in a short ttme.
There is no better investment. Tenants are
clamoring for accommodations.
Thirteen of 81 mortgages on file for record
yesterday were for vurcuaso money. The two
largest were for $7,000 each. The smallest was
for $230. The number of mortgages satisfied
almost equaled those placed.
Henry M. Long sold 10 shares Union Passen
ger Railway stock at 123 an advancljn about
a year of 150 per cent. Allegheny City Ts of 1S93
sold in Philadelphia at 109. A prominentcitizen
of Braddock said yesterday that'very little build
ing was going on there because of high taxes.
The borough fathers should look to this.
Movements In Real Estnlr.'
The recent sale of 1,000 Teet of frontage In
Boulevard place and of 500 on Schoniey park,
together with large transactions on the Pan
handle Railroad and elsewhere aronnd the city,
are sufficient to show that there is considerable
animation In real estate.
The most Important deal that came to the
surface yesterday was the sale by Black &
Baird of a body of land, presumably on the
Allegheny Valley Railroad, for something over
$100.( 00. They refused particulars.
Thomas Liggett sold for J. J. Stoer a lot
40x120. on Fifth avenue, near Gist street, for
$10,500. The purchaser intends building for
business purposes, with flats on the upper
floors.
The Pitt-burg Company, Limited, sold to A.

Stagnation SlIH the Fen in re of the Local Oil
Market.
Yesterday was not a day of rejoicing for the
oil traders, although they were in good spirits,
and passed the time singing songs and narrating
reminiscences of tho good old times. The be
lief is gaining ground that the Lima product
will bo listed. It is thought that Oil City and
Bradford will be won over. New York and
Pittsburg aie favorable to the project.
The market opened down at SS, v. bich was
also the closing figure. The highest price
touched was 89 and the lowest 88. showing a
fluctuation of . Pittsburg was the strongest
point, as there is more long oil here than else
where. Outside exchanges were expressionless
as well as featureless. Wednesday's clearances
were 33,000 barrels. There has been no change
in refined since the 3d. Well news was hardly
mentioned.

Forest Grove and Coraopolls.
It Is said the Forest Grove oil belt is taking a
sonthwest direction now. The well on the
Annie Young farm is said to be showing up for
a large one. It Is near the Nier farm well in
Polly's gulch. At Coraopolis the Watt and
Watson wells are now attracting the most at
tention. The first named is flowing about 20
barrels. It was injured by too deep drilling,
hut will he'plngged some five feet from the
bottom, and a pump will then be put in.
LOOKING AHEAD.
Dullness Still Dominates Wall Street
btoclt Speculators Discuss the Probable
Effects of the Mlver BUI Gold
Shipment and a Bear Raid.
New York, July 17. The situation in Wall
street remains unchanged, and tho principal
features of the market are dullness aud stag
nation. The dealings in regular list in the stock
market to-day presented absolutely no feature
of interest beyond the continuance of the rise
inPactfic Mail, which has been started by the
passage of the shipping bills. The movement
was spasmodic, but the improvement made
was retained, and the next lift will start from
the higher level. The dividend upon Denver
and Rio Grande preferred seems to have done
its work, as that stock this morning was off 1
per cent from its last evening's price, and only
a portion of the loss was recovered.
Sugar Refineries was again the great foature
of the day, but the movement was downward
in the forenoon, though recovering later in the
day. The movement in a measure gave tone to
the general list, and while the movements were
insignificant, heaviness marked the transac
tions of the forenoon but a firmer market was
seen later in the day. In addition to Pacific
Mail and Rock Island, Lackawanna was a
strong feature, but its fluctuations were slight.
In the face of the dullness of speculation, a
dullness mainly caused by the oppressive beat,
comes a continuance of the good showing of
the railroad earnings.
In default of specnlation operators discuss
the probable effects of the silver bill. The
bulls argue that it will be of great benoflt not
only to Wall street but to the business of the
whole country, They say that tho addition to
our circulation win encourage new enterprises
and lead to greater activity in business circles
next fall. The improvement will begin to fall
early in August.
They rest their faith on the reduction in
sterling exchange, the passage of the silver
bill, the advancement of rates and tho appear
ance of rain in the corn belt, where there has
been great drouth. No improvement in specu
lation may be looked for in New York while
the present heat continues.
The engagement of $500,000 gold for export
was made the occasion ot a raid by tho bears in
the last few minutes of trading, and the
irrn-nircr stocks especially were rattled off. The
close was heavy on the decline. The final
changes are generally insignificant, but Wheel
lug and Lake Erie is down yv
Railroad bonds were more active, the sales
being 51.1SS.000, but the changes were liko those
in stocks without importance, and the tone of
the dealings undecided.
Government bonds have been dull and barely
steady. State bonds have been entirely neg
lected. The Post says : The general speculative pub
lic in this country are at piesent more than
usually disposed to look for and speculate for
higher prices. 'A fewpeop'e who were, perhaps,
a little too eager, and have been loaded up
witb stocks for a good while, have been some
what disappointed that the rise has not come
before now, but as soon as London shows a dis
position to buy stocks there will be found
plenty of people here to do likewise, and the
activity of Sugar Trust certificates will be for
gotten in the greater activity ot railroad
stocks.

NOTES ABOUT FEUITS.
Advance In Canned Goods The-Apple Crop
n Total Fnllnrr.
As an illustration of the upward movement
in the canned fruit line, pie peaches have this
week been rdvanced by wholesale grocers from
$1 25 to $1 6-5 per dozen and blackberries from
tOc to $1 15 per dozen. Blackberries are selling
in Baltimore at $1 10 per dozen.
There are very few gooa apples coming to
our markets, for the good and sufficient reason
that the crop is a failure in most of the apple
sections. A Liberty street commission mer
chant reported to-day that he would receive 60
barrels from Baltimore this evening, and that
the price would be $6 per barrel for fancy
stock. With apples selling at $8 at this time,
when small fruits are at their best.it is plain
that we are on the eve of high prices as tar as
fruits are concerned. As California Is the only
part of the United States which will yield an
average fruit crop this season the profit from
her gardens, vineyards and orchards Will be as
large as that from her mines.
GROCERIES TENDING UPWAED.
Stuplo Articles Sore to be Higher Before
the Fall Montbu.
A representative of one of our leading whole
sale grocery firms said to-dav: "Business with
us is better than is desirable this hot weather.
With tho upward tendency of price", especially
in the line of canned goods, we would do better
to hold our stock. As it is, wo are kept un
usually busy, and midsummer trade was never
more active than it has been this month. Our
customers are shrewd enough to see that there
is close at hand an era of higher prices, and
hence are laying In heavy stocks of goods in
order to reap whon the harvest comes. There
is nothing in the wholesale grocery line that
will go any lower this season, and many staple
articles are sure to be much higher. This is a
good timo to buy and a poor time to sell. Tho
stuff the Jobbers are now sending out to cus
tomers in large quantity would, I am sure,
yield nice profits if we could keep it in our
warehouses until the fall of the year."
