STATE OF TfiADE ACROSS THE OCEAN. TEFZCIXL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 New York, July 21. The Iron Age, in its issue of to-day, quotes the iron markets es follows: American Pie Considering the enormous production of the oast six months, which we estimate at least 4,000,000 gross tons, the report of stocks just issued by the American Iron and Steel Association is certainly very gratifying. It shows that since January 1 there has been an increase of only 92,271 cross tons in makers' hands, and S0.700 tons in warrant stores, making the total now 403,150 cross tons. This Is loss than a three weeks' supply of all Kinds, and leaving out of consideration charcoal pic. less than a two weeks' supply. This shows how enormously tho consumption of this country has been expanded in the last six months. It will generally inspire the trade with confidence. Tho New York market has been very quiet during the past week. One feature worthy of consideration is the fact that consumers arc purchasing warrant irons, tak ing specified brands. We are assured by very Rood authority that a number of transactions of this character have been made lately, resulting in a material saving to the buyer, as contrasted with purchases made in the open market. There has been some weakness lately in Southern charcoal iron, there being an excess of certain numbers. Thus No. 2 may be purchased at $17 6018 00 at furnace. We quote Ko. 1 Northern iron, SI" 25 (HI8 SO: No. 2. S1617. and Southern iron No. 1, 17 00(ffll7 50: No. 1 soft. S16 SOffilG 75. and No 2. 16 o616 23. Bessemer pig is offered at 19 00 tSl aa, delivered at tine water. Bniegeleisen and Ferro-llancancse The market is extremely dull and remains nom inally 30 00Q30 50 for 20 per cent, and 575. 50 72 50"for ferro. Wire Rods Tho scarcity of wire rods con tinues and threatens to become serious for the early future. There have been some sales of special brands for re-export purposes on the basis of about SIS, ex-sliip N. Y. Foreign rods, buyers taking risk of dutv. for prominent ship ment are offered at S46 00!46 50, with few sales to cover immediate requirements. Steel Rails Only sales of small lots are re ported by eastern mills so that the aggregate business none during the neck has been light. The report that the order for 7,500 tons. Savannah delivery, had been placed is Inaccu rate, the negotiations not having been closed as yet. It is reported that the Illinois Central order for 5.000 tons has been taken by the Chi cago mills. The market is steady at S31gS32. the number of sellers at the former figure be ing email. But little fall work has came out so far. There has been a very limited number or winter inquiries but the mills do not care to quote on them, except where they are a part of contracts running through the fall and winter. The situation is regardea as healthy and a feel ins of confidence in the luture prevails among Sellers. Old Ralls A number of round lots of foreign rails have been sold for shipment at private terms. The only large sale of domestic in this market has been a lot of nearly 2,000 tons of specially desirable rails, delivery in the interior of the State, at 525. Special conditions pre vailed. The market, which had a drooping tendency early in the week, is said to be re covering: 624 was bid for a 1,000-ton lot, but was declined. We quote S2424 50.

The Condition nnd Future Prospect! of the Endiab Metal Market. lPrECIAL TELEGBAX TO THE DISPATCH. 1 KewYoek, July 21 Ihe Iron Age of this date quotes the British iron and metal mtrkets as follows: Pig iron warrants have averaged somewhat higher most of the week and the market has shown greater firmness, deriving a good measure of support from free purchases by outsiders, promoted by the pressure of a quite large shipping demand. Scotch moved up to 46s. Id. and Cleveland to 13a. 3d. at the close on Tuesday, while hematites have risen to 53s. 7Jd. On Wednesday's market Scotch eased off 67d, Cleveland about 41 and hematites 1-6 on realizations.

Speculative hold ers, fearing a further decline, have realized freely, but the position continncs strong. Among recent transactions in furnace material a sale of 100 tons Anaconda matte at Us 6d is rioted. A large business was done in straits; tin at about 94s lOd, and for a time there was some difficulty in selling cash lots. This brought about an improvement in the feeling, bat the demand was well satisfied and operations have since been light and at lower prices, although it is believed that the increased value f silver mil likely hinder shipments from the East and cause the market to harden. Tho tin plate has ruled very firm, with lis 3d linwtbe inside price for Bessemer. Makers offer with reserve. A good business is reported chiefly for the continent and Canada. Nego tiations for several large lines for America have beeu broken off owing to the dclav with the tariff bdl. The Hope Tinplate Company hare liquidated. Advices from Germany state that the demand there for steel wire rods is im proving and that prices are firmer. English market quotations are also about 2s 6d up, and makers are quoting 5s higher for rails. Other wise no change is visible in the market for steel goods. American Manufacturer's Cable Quotations. Scotch Pig Warrants have ruled very steady, varying little either way from 46s, aud have been dealt in more freely. Latest sales show Gd. decline.

The Coke Trade In n Very Flonrlnhlng Con dillon Few Ovenn Now Innetlvo nnd All Serene in Labor Circles Increased Shipments Daring the Past WcrU. rSrKwIAI. TELEQHAM TO TICS DISPATCH. 1 Scottdaije, July 21 The coke trade, aroused from the lethargic condition which characterized It three weeks since, now In a state of activity, presents a further increase In shipments for the week under review. The de mand was slightly larger than the previous week and production traveled right along with thn demand, flnp of thn interesting features of trade at this season is the fact of there being so few furnaces banked. A comparison 01 mis and last year will show that far more furnaces were banked at this time last year. A few of the furnaces that are out will resume next month, with an increased capacity. An operator was seen to-day and said: "The coke trade is certainly verv active, for mid summer, orders are plenty and no operator has reason to complain. As to the present demand being kept up for tho balance of niidsnmmer. I would not venture an opinion. At least, the orosnects are encouraging. The Eastern trade shons marked signs of permanent improve ment, while the Western ana -ittsourg iraae is steady. The market is also well fixed as to transportation facilities. There is an abundant car snnnlv Tilth plenty of motive power. Serenity prevails in labor circles and at the present time there is not one sinKe irom one end of the rerion to the other. The yards are still remarkably free of stock coke and, it is understood, operators will continue to limit the output to the demand, thereby preventing an over-proanctiou. Tho works near Dunbar have about all gotten over the effects of the recent Hill Farm disas ter. The Uniondale plant has been fired, and Mahoning will be lighted up as soon as the water is gotten from the pit. The ovens of the new Lemont plant will be fired shortly. Eighty ovens at the Davidson plant, which are being rebuilt, are nearing completion. There are about 2,700 idle oveus in the region, and there is no indication that the number will be In creased. The leading operators closed their works as usual onJWednesday, while the Stewart, South west, Isaac Taylor ana a few other companies maae six days. No change is chronicled in coke prices. Ship ments last week were 25 cars larger than tho week previous. They averaged about 1,095, against 1,092 cars of the week before. Pitts burg and river shipments decreased 100 cars, and western shipments declined but 25 cars. Eastern shipments increased 150 cars. The distribution was as follows: To points west of Pittsburg. 3,675 cars; to Pittsburg and river points, 1,800 cars: to points east of Pittsburg, 1.300 cars; total, 6,575 cars. This is the record of the preceding week: To points west of Pitts burg, 3.700 cars; to Pittsburg and river points. 1,700 cars: to points east of Pittsburg. L150 cars; total, 6.550 cars. Prices of coke are: Furnace coke, 2 15; foundry, 2 45; crushed, 2 65; all f. n. b. cars at ovens per ton of 2,000 pounds.

Our nearby gardeners are very much rejoiced over the recent rains. Gardens in this section have been famishing for a week or two nest, and prospects have immensely improved tho last 21 hours. Never was a shower more tiraelv to gardeners, though its influence was depress ing to picnics, campmeetings and races An old-time maruet garoener said to-day- '"The late rains will prove a great help to our trade! The tomatoes were suffering for want Zr iwuts.u.w. .--. uw iw.ui wiii unug them out. Tho tomato vines thiseason are rather small and a half bnshel to a plant will be a hi- vield! 1 have often gathered thiee pecks from aslnchi plant. The late rains will also help out roast ing cars." In the interview with this market gardener it ; was developed that the yield of garden stuff In this section falls far below average this season. As an offset to the short crop is the better prices received for stuff The yield of cabbage is not much above one half tho average yield, but prices of latehavo been 1 per basket, while last season at ibis time three baskets were sold for 1. "Short crops bring less work and more money than big ones," said a leading market gardener "and, though this is not so good for the con sumer, we have no cause to complain when we get more money for less work."

A Decided Improvement in Stocks, tut Pe troleum Still in the Dumps. THIS KEWS AKD GOSSIP OP THE CITY Property values, present and prospective, in Pittsburg and Us suburbs were the sub ject of an animated discussion in a corner of a Fourth avenue brokcrjs office yesterday. II grew out of the statement by Mr. How ley, a few days ago, that land on Schenley Park will sell at $400 a foot within five years. He stood by his prediction, and maintained that it was below rather than above the mark. ' A prominent merchant who was present, while agreeing that values in the locality named would advance as the city grew in population and wealth, and spread out over the East End, contended that 5400 a foot in five years for land that is now selling around 100, would be too much In the nature of a boom to bo permanent and beneficial to tho city. As there is no boom nor any proba bility of one, he characterized the statement as a flight of the imagination. Another gentleman who had been listening to the discussion raised his voice at this juncture. He has been a resident of this city fur 50 years or more, and knows it like a book. He said: ".Mr. Howley's statement concerning the prospective value of Schenley Park prop erty is, in my judgment, entirely within bounds. It is surprising to no one who under stands the situation. Tho growth of the city is so great and the demands of business so press ing that people are being driven to the suburbs in droves not alone to the East End, bnt in all other directions. This enlarges demand and strengthens values. Park property is so well adapted to residence purposes that it will always bring top prices. A year or so ago it went a-begging for purchasers: now it is going off liko hot cakes. As improvements are made and facilities for travel increase it will gam in value. 1 think that will, in the course of a few years, become one of the finest resi dence districts in the city combining country comforts and city advantages. In these re spects it will be far more desirable than park property in Allegheny, which Is rated at about $00 a foot. Before the parks were laid out 20 years ago it could have been bought for 30 to 50. The advance is due to the parks and nothing else." Mr. Howley then produoed figures showing that bigger jumps thaa bo had claimed for Schenley Park bad been made in other parts of tho city. He said: "The proposition to widen Diamond street has caused an advance in abutting and adjoining property from about 500 to 1,500 a loot. Four or five years ago 3,000 a foot was considered a pretty steep price on Fifth avenue, between Smithfield and liar Let, Owners are now holding it at 5,000. 'Within a very short time values on Fourth avenue, between Wood and Smithfield streets, have moved up from $2,000 to 54.000, or there aboutbs. Acreage ou tho Southside is bring ing 1,200 and 1,500 an acre, against 400 and 500 a year or two ago. Down the Fort Wayne road the enhancement is equally marked. There is always a market for choice residence sites, and it is upon this fact that I based my prediction of 400 a foot for Schenley Park property within five years. Enhancement in the same time will affect all the districts around the city, but to what extent I am not prepared to say," Business News and Gossip. Ewing & Byers report a brisk demand for acreage property on the Perrysrille road and along California avenue. D. P. Black I see it again stated that an English syndicate is after the East Liberty stockyards, among others. If they are for sale I can in 24 hours organize a syndicate that will outbid the foreigners. People out there are willing to give almost anything to secure the removal of the yards." The number of mortgages on file for record yesterday was 38, the largest of which was for 17,000. Thirteen were for purchase money. Mortgages amounting to about $50,000 were sat isfied. Two prominent local corporations will hold meetings toIay the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester and the Union Passenger Railway Companies. The latter will probably decide the question of leasing to the former. The Lima, O., Lutheran College Association has been incorporated, and is preparing for the erection of a main college building. It will cost about 55,000, and will be built of brick and stone. A company has been organized at Duquesne to build a fine park, to be used for picnics and campmeetings. A pavilion and other buildings will be erected. About 50 stone bouses are in courso of erec tion principally in the East End. One or two are talked ot at Emsworth. They are rapidly growing in popularity among people who de sire fine effects. The national bank depositors hold 25,492,445 Government deposits. The requirements of the sinking fund for the present fiscal year aggregate 48,500,000. The available balance in the Treasury is $51,191,195. Baxter, Thompson Co. report an Improved demand for hnsiness property, indicating confi dence of a good fall trade and a desire to get things in shape to handle it. Movement in Rsnl Estnte. A Fourth avenue broker went out to Walls station yesterday afternoon to close a deal for about 150 acres of land adjoining Pennsylvania Railroad property, but located in the hill dis trict. The price was stated to be about 200 an acre. The recent successful sale of the sub-division of the Routh farm, in the same locality, has stimulated both inquiry and prices for property in and around Wilmerding and Walls. A handsome dwelling on Howe street, ad joining the Kenmare House, changed owners yesterday at a price approximating 811,000. The father of Lawyer Murphy was the pur chaser. Ewing Byers sold for John McCreery, Esq., to Mr. Edward Wagner a two-story frame house containing four rooms, with lot 25x100 feet, on Center avenue, Tenth ward, Allegheny, near the line of the Pleasant Valley El ec trio road, for L10a Samuel W. Black & Co. sold lot No. 4 In E. O. Wickersbam plan of lots, having a. frontage of 25 feet on Bartlett street. Eleventh ward, Alle gheny, and a depth of 100 feet, for 475. L. O. Frazier sold for J.

They also sold another lot in the Willock plan, being No. 9 and in size 24x104 feet, for ISOO. The purchaser was J. W." Eckley. Hamnett & Meredith sold a lot in Wilkins burg,, 50x120. for 825. A BETTER TEMPER. More Dolnc In Home Securities Old.TImcra Broncbt Our. Tho stock market presented a firmer front yesterday. The feeling was better, and the bulk of the price changes was in the direction of a higher level. The active stocks were Manufacturers', Philadelphia, Wheeling and Pennsylvania Gas and Electric. Bales were S81 shares, besides several hundred subscrip tion rights on Electric ranging from 10 to 20 cents the latter after the last call. One of the features was the strength dis played by Electric It sold at 33 at the early call, advanced to 31, and closed at 39 bid and none offered. Anotner feature was the sale of a large block of .Manufacturers' Gas the first for a long time at 16J. an advance over re cent quotations. .In its dividend period it sold as high as 40. Anotber old-timer, Pennsylvania Gas, also moved over to the active tide, but without showing much strength. Philadelphia Gas and tho Tractions held around former figures with no movement in the latter. Rwitch and Signal was a fraction firmer.

QToner Mny Work Somewhat Ealcr, bnt Rales Will be maintained. Now that the conservative Influence of an impending call for bank statements is out of the way for a while, the money market will no doubt show a tendency toward greater ease in the loan department, as accommodations will be moro readily extended. Less than a 6 per cont rate will, however, be exceptional. Busi ness is too active and funds too well employed to Inaugurate an era of cheap money. Bank exchanges bold up beyond expecta tions. Yesterday they were 2,832,093 8L while the balances were 311,174,52. When it is re membered that tbere is nothing going on to stimulate checking except the regular move-' ment of trade, it will be seen these figures represent a degree of prosperity that is as grati fying as it is encouraging to further efforts to maintain the present high pitch.

There was no improvement in business in oil yesterday, but the feeling was a trifle better, as indicated by the close, which was the same as the opening and highest. The movement was restricted to c. All the exchanges were weak at first, bnt braced np as tho day wore on. and were firm at the finish. The range of fluctua tions was: Opening, highest and closing, 9; lowest, 88. Wednesday's clearances were 14, 000 barrels. Tho big gas strike in the Eureka, W. Va., field Wednesday night, was the subject of con siderable talk yesterday. The strike has caused considerable excitement tbere. There is a great rush for leases, and a dozen new wells have already been contracted for. The McC'ul lough well, on the RusHammett farm, came in a 250 barrel gusher. Features of Yesterday's Oil Market. Corrected daily by John M.

Operation. Between Chnrtler. Creek and Shonaetown Briefly Touched. The oil excitement at Cbartiers is by no means abating, and there is a long list of new wells being prepared. The J. S. Scully has been spudded, and is ready for drilling. It is called by some a rank wildcat. Dnnkle fc Co., a local syndicate, leased Miss Taylor's property at Duff's station. Shnltz & Co.'s Colbert well is in tho hundred-foot sand. Phillip Stemmiller leased his property at West Chartiers to the Fisher Brothers. A well is drilling on Park Painter's place, near Duff's covered bride. The Haley well, that started at a 600 barrel a day gait, is said to be down to 25 barrels per day. Anew well has been started bv the Forest and Anchor Coinpanv. O'Briens' Singer well is in, and has about 500 feet of oil In ft, John Caughev has at last leased his farm to Fred Lauinger's rompanv. who will start a well at once. Tho J. A. McKee, of the McKee's Rocks Company, is doing 130 per day. Dr. Black and Mr. Sinn, of McKoesport, aro drilling a well on May's acre, beside tho Jewish cemeterv. The derrick is np on the McKee heirs' farm at Scully's spring, and work will bo commenced at once. The Johnson No. 2 is doing 60 barrels per day. A man who was taking in Montour run yes terdav insists that the well on the RtnwM farm is good for 30 or 40 barrels a day. There was nothing specially new from the Forest Grove field, but it was noticed that the well on tho schoolhousn lot, being which was said to be a duster, was vigorously pumped and a young man who lives of short distance from it said it must be a payer, tor ho said the pump had been running nearly two weeks. This is the well that adverse lai d owners wished to have suppressed, but failed m court to effect their object. The Annie Young well, nearly half a mile south west, is said to be a good pumper. The well now going down on the Watt heirs' place at Coraopolis is showing considerable gas. and an operator states that he thinks she will be a good one. - Guffy & Co. shot a well with 32 quarts yester day, across the river at Haysvillc, and since the shooting she is pronounced a good one. The oil was thrown over tho top of the derrick. They will shoot anotber one in tho same vicin ity to-day. Some say tho belt shows signs of rnnmng southwest of Coraopolis, to the right of Toad Hollow.

The Street Tokinn a Brlsbtcr View of tho MarUet Sugar Refineries the Principal Stock Dealt In Government nnd Rall- 10 net Bonds Quiet and Strong. New York. July 21. The stock markot showed a little more animation to-day In spots, but, as yesterday, the attention was concen trated upon sugar refineries, and tho large dealings in that stock were sufficient to bring the transactions In tho unlisted department again above those In tho regular list. The an nouncement that a suit had been begun by tho trustees for the winding up of the trust caused tho expectation that the stock would sell ma terially higher this morning, and 80 was the figure expected. There were offerings at that price but no bids over 780. Sales were affected at 79Kc, when the traders seeing that there was plenty of stock for salo by parties waiting for a market, wont in to tate the markot away from them, and a sharp and sudden decline to 775c took place. The insiders supported the stock at this point, however, and later In the day there waarenewed buying for the long account, sev eral Influential brokers being loud in their ex pressions of opinion of the further apprecia t'on of the certificates. ihe forenoon's trading was marked by ex treme dullness and stagnation in all of the regular list with ths single exception of New England, but later there was a manifestation of confidence and buying was renewed all along the line with tho effect of more animation and slightly higher prices for all the active shares. The feeling in the street during the past few few days has distinctly grown more hopeful, notwithstanding the intense dullness and the slight hope of any improvement in that respect for some time to come. The belief is general that the now departure of the Secretary of the Treasury will meet with a full response and that ho will be able to get a liberal amount of bonds at snch prices as he will be willing to pay. The fact that to-day was appointed as tho first one upon which to receive tenders and the accept, ances were large to-day which was responded to in the afternoon's dealings with a general rise all along the line and more animation. For the time being the market certainly showed a tendency to broaden. The afternoon rise was continued well into the last hour, when realizations compelled somo reaction, though only in sugar and New England was there anv material set-back. The market, however, closed barely steady on the reaction, but generally at small fractions better than the opening figures. The loss on New England was ljf per cent, but Citizens' Gas rose but other changes are for small fractions only. Railroad bonds were very quiet, though there were a larger number of issues traded in than nsnal of late. The important changes in quotations, however, aro as usual in the inact ive bonds, and tho movements among those which are traded in from day to day are in almost all cases insignificant. Government bonds have been quiet but strong. State bonds have been neglected. The following tame snows me prices or active stocks on t'ne New York Stock Exchange yester day.

THE Bavenswood struck a snag near Ripley, O., Wednesday night, which tore a bole in her hull. A large amount of perishable goods were stored In the hold, all of which will be a loss. Efforts are being made to get her afloat again, but up until yesterday they proved ftitlle. This is about the fifth boat that has succumbed to snags within the past few weeks, and if something Is not done shortly by the snagboats the Government will have to pay a few claims. PrObibly then the boats which are now lying Idle will be put to work. Drrgoods. New Yobk. July 24. The drygoods market was without material change. Demand con tinued moderate and irregular.

One of our leading Jobbers of Swiss cheeses said to-day: "Domestic Sweltzer Is now in good supply and markets are weaker than they bare been for some weeks past. At thn beginning of the month producers were dinned to with hold stock in anticipation of better prices. Tbe effort proved a failure for the reason that the season has been very favorable to production, and the yield is undoubtedly above the average. Quality of Sweltzer cheese coming to tbe mar ket U also fully up to standard. Prices ara. now about the same as they were a year ago, though a month ago they were much above cor responding prices of 1889. Ohio domestic cheese has weakened of late, owing to large re ceipts and extremely hot weather. A season that is favorable to grass and hay crop as this bas been, nniformly yields a good quality and quantity of cheese.
