THE CONDITION OF THE COKE TRADE
CTXClli. TXLIOKAM TO THX DIRPATCItl
New Tobk, August 7. The Iron Age of
this issue quotes the American metal markets
M follows: American pig Some saleB
agents report a slightly increased yolnme of
business, but on the whole the market is
qmet and steady. Among the larger sales
reported is one of 1,000 tons of charcoal car
wheel iron, on the basis of $19 50, Buffalo.
The reports from Southern charcoal furnaces
indicate considerable irregularity. Chilling
irons hare sold as low as $17 50 at Southern
furnaces. We quote No. 1 Northern iron, J17
18: No. 2. $160117: Grav forge. J1515 25, and
Soothcrn Iron No. 1. JI717 25; No. lsoft, JIB 60
CI6 75. and No. 2. S1616 25. Bessemer pig Is
offered at S1WJ19 25 delivered at tide water.
Splegeleisen and ferro There has been no
change whatever, the speigeleisen market re
maining lifeless and entirely nominal at $30 00
630 60 for 20 per cent and 871 5072 00 for
ferro.
Billets Small lots of foreign billets are avail
able at S32 503S 00. The demand is light, and
the majority of importers do not expect that
the importation of foreign billets will develop
Into anv business of consequence. Thus fir
the steel comes exclusively from German mills.
It is urged that even their low sale are only
temporary, because prices are below cost of
production.
Wire rods It is reported that in the West
there has been at least one large sale for de
livery next year. In the East very little is being
done. The rod mill of the Iowa Barb Wire
Company, at Allentown, is again running.
Only a few small lots of foreign rod ar re
ported as having been sold. We quote, S45JJ48
for.foreign rods.
Steel rails We note sales by Eastern mills
aggregating abont 20,000 tons, these bing in
cluded in that total of the block of 8.000 tons
for Savannah delivery. The bulk of the other
sales were also for Southern roads. The'rumors
of low prices made on this nnsiness are
authoritatively denied by both buyer ana seller.
Eastern mills are in receipt of large inquiries
from Western roads, which, of course, they
cannot bid on, as the markets East and West
now stand. Among the inquiries is one for
about 25.000 from a Pacific road, for delivery
during the first half of 1S9L Wo continue to
quoje $31 O0S31 50 at F.a-tern mills.
Track listenings Reports are current that
a recent large Southern order was taken at
verv low prices. We quote spikes $2 0002 10;
fish plates. l.75L0c.and bolts and nuts 2.b0ijs0
delivered, borne uf the mills have advanced
their prices, and have thcrelore virtually with
drew n from the market, so that the cheap sell
ers are now few.
Merchant steel We qnote: Machinery, 2.10c
base, at mill; rolled shaftinjr, 2.15i20c deliv
ered, and tire, 2.102.15c delivered.
Plates A number of orders for round lots
have been placed. The market is steady at
2.502.60c lor tank; 2.702.85c for shell; 2.90
3c for flange, and 3V4c tor fire-box steel.

An Improvement Ncird in the General De
mand of the Trade.
New York, August ".The iron Age of this
issue quotes fie British metal markets as fol
lows from London: "There has been very lit
tle outside speculation in pig iron warrants,
but the trade demand is better, and that fact
together with evidences of increased consump
tion has hardened the market. Tuesday's
dealings showed an advance for 46s Sd on
Scotch, 44s for Cleveland and 54 for Hematites.
Scotch sold to-day at 46s lOd, but there was no
change on others. Makers have experienced a
better trade in Scotch and Bessemer pig, but
Middlesbrough moves slowly. The threat
ened stnke in Scotch steel trade has
been averted through the smelters
agreeing to a reduction of 5 per cent,
English makers have dropped their prices for
steel ship plates to 6 5s., but other steel prices
are unchanged. Prices for block tin has im
proved somewhat. The difference Detween
cash and forwards has been vern.narniw at
times, shoving that available stosks are well
held since the reduction last month of about
1.500 tons In the total. The advance in silver
restricts shipments from the colonies and has
caused a hardening on forwards the past few
days.
The copper market acts as though fatigued
after the late excitement. Consumers' wants
appear to be well satished for the moment and
little fresh speculative interest is entered into
at present prices. Statistics show large sup
plies and deliveries last month, with a decrease
of 891 tons. The amount held by the societe
des Metaux is now only 2,000 tons, against 179,
000 tons 16 months ago. Transactions in furnace
material have been quite heavy latterly. tnoe
since the middle of July including 150 tons
anaconda. There has been shipped to New
York 400 tons.
A strong feeling prevails in the tin plate
trade. Makers keep well sold up, and many
have advanced their prices 5d. Some are Hold
ing coke for 14-9, and buyers are bidding rather
fuller. The stock at shipping ports Is now 861

Yolnme f Bnsl'aess A Healthy Foil
Trade Expeciert.
asrxciAt. TiLkonaic to tux ntrATCif.t
Scottdale, August7. Tho volume of busi
ness transacted in tho coke market continues
to be extensive, as is evidenced by the immense
shipments. There is seemingly unusual vigor
to the market. The demand is of large PrP
tlons. which, with its steadiness, Is a good indi
cation of a healthy fall trade. Operators are
eagerly watching and discussing every point,
and will make a persistent endeavor to preserve
tho present agreeable conditions. Shipments
are still increasing, many works are making
six days and' production is traveling along
in the same groove with the demand.
Consumers are taking no chances, but are or
dering conservatively. The mad rush of activ
ity iu the present trade and the conditions sur
rounding the future outlook is very rosy. The
assumption of certain persons that tradq win
shortly go downward is untenable. The out
look was never belter at this stage of the
year. All of the fnrnaces, with possibly a
couple of exceptions, are taking coke In
good quantities. There are many orders for
crushed coke and that grade is beginning to
cut quite a dash in the market, particularly in
the West
Prices are as firm as ever, with no apparent
indications of a change. Operators generally
express themselves in favor of no change. The
coke trade for the month of July surpassed the
previous month slightly In the way of
the amount of coke sent out There
was a noticeable Increase in western
shipments. A number of idle ovens were
also started and many, of the plants operated
uninterruptedly, making six days per week
during the month. The first and second week's
shipments were comparatively small, but was
expected on account of the torrid weather.
The works observed the Thursday
shucdown last week and will make
a repetition this week. The Mahoning
and Hill Farm plants are still out of operation.
.The fire still rages in the Hill Farm mine.
Forty-six overs will be blown out at the
Southwest works un account of the scarcity of
water. . The car supply was moderately fair
last week. They were not as plenty as was
hoped for on some roads, bnt there was a large
coke shipment nevertheless. Shipments last
week averaged 1,207 cars, as against 1,113 cars
of the previous week. Pittsburg shipments In
creased 25 cars; western shipments increased 625
cars, and Eastern shipments decteasedfiOcars;
total increase over previous week of 640 cars,
Shipments last week were consigned to the
points of consumption as follous: To points
west of Pittshnrc, 4.425 cars; to Pittsburg and
river points. 1.650 cars; to points cast of Pitts
burg, 1.190 cars. Total, 7,240 cars. This was tho
record of the preceding week. To points west
of Pittsburg, 3,810 cars; to Pittsburg and river
points, 1,050 cars; to points cast of Pittsburg,
1,250 cars. Total, 6,675 cars.

A PEOSPEEOUS XUDXTSTBY.
Shoe Upper la Active Demand nnd Orders
Placed Month! Ahead.
The manufacture of shoe uppers has of late
years become one of Pittsburg's important in.
'dustries. At our leading establishment in this
line, where about 80 bands are employed,
mostly girls and women, it was learned that
business is now in a very prosperous condition.
Orders are now on the books sufficient to keep
the entire force employed up to the middle of
October. In the orders every part ot the con
tinent is represented. The New England
States, which lead in footwear, are among onr
best customers in this line. Recent orders from
Nova Scotia, Texas and California have been
received. Trade this year has so far shown an
Increase of fully 20 per cent In volume over
last, and prospects for tall trado are bright
enough to increase this percentage before the
year's volume Is closed. As to prices there is
little change from last year. Domestic calf
skins bave advanced of fate. Bnt the bulk of
the stock worked up into shoe uppers is French
and there has been no change In prices of
French calfskins. Orders from Eastern States
show largest increase this year over last The
trade is now at its best as retailers are placing
their orders for fall and winter. There la an
unusually active demand for luck slippers to
be used inside of rubber boots. This depart-

Difference-Between Keal Estate Now
and in the Seventies.
LAND WANTED FOR IMPROVEMENT.
Prosperity in the United States Having a
Good Effect in the Old World.
THIS HEWS 1HD GOSSIP OF THE CITY
The following appeared in The Dis
patch of Februarr 3, 1877: "Beal estate
is dull with a downward tendency. The
market is glutted, nearly everybody want
ing to sell." This condition of affairs was
brought about by wild speculation, incited
by visions of small outlays and immense
profits. It succeeded a period of brass
bands and free lunches S10 down and the bal
ance any time. 2?o wonder real estate was
dull.
It is different now. Land Is not so much
wanted for speculation as for improvement, as
the hundreds of buildings going up in all parts
of the city and suburbs testify. There is no
boom. Brass bands and free lunches are con
spicuously absent. The movement Is legiti
mate. Values are permanent Buyers run no
risk. The market is a staying one. Tho crisp,
bracing winds of autumn will bring activity
and more than make up for the present lull.
w
Prosperity Across the Sen.
One of the prime factors of business activity
in this country Is the fact that Europe has not
been so prosperous In many years as at present.
Seldom does peace reign in Europe for so long
a time as since the last war. In fact, there
have been no recent Tavages of war, though
the cost of keeping men in idleness is some
thing immense. :and handicaps all Europe in
comparison with the freedom from standing
armies which prevails in the United States.
Yet there has been in Europe no recent slaugh
ter of men or waste of treasure, so inevitable in
times of war. The surplus revenue of Great
Britain has exceeded expectation, while Ger
many and France are much better off than was
expected. Bussia is borrowing only moderate
sums of money, and even Egypt is out of im
mediate need for cash.
The fact is, the prosperity of the United
States is intimately connected with the pros
perity of the rest of the civilized world. When
Europe is prosperous, and her citizens are
making money, tney are more libeial buyers
of American food products, American ma
chinery and American securities. It really
looks as though the whole world has entered
upon an era of legitimate increase of business
and prosperity for the masses,

The number of stone houses erected in Pitts
burg last year was 20. This year will show
about 100.
There are about 2,100 miles of roads in Alle
gheny county, not one of which is in good con
dition for spring and winter travel. This is a
good time to improve them.
Three fine residences are going up on At
lantic avenue. East End. The owners are Mr.
Sproul and the Pittsburg Lumber Company,
a hey will cost about S10.000 each. Dr. Rhine
hart is erecting a handsome stone dwelling
corner of Aiken and Center avenues at an ex
pense of S30.000.
It is estimated by competent authority that
the building record for this year will show an
investment ot at least $8,000,000.
It is thought the subdivision of the Holmes
property in the Eighteenth ward will stir up
things In that district. It has been .backward
for some time.
Baxter, Thompson A Co. report things very
lively in North Jeanne tta." Ground has been
broken for 40 or 50 dwellings, and a number of
these are nearing completion. The main build
ing of the Fort Pitt Glass Works is under roof,
and will be ready for operations by September
L unless the unexpected should happen.
Considerable money, it is stated, is being held
in reserve for investment Iu the Point district,
as soon as Mrs. Schenley decides upon the na
ture of the improvements which she contem
plates. It is the rule of business men to buy when
ever they are offered abnrgaln. Ileal estate
will be higher In the fall than now, for tbe de
mand will be greater. Why not buy nowT This
question is directed particularly to people of
moderate means intending to establish homes.
Henry M. Long and family left for Atlantic
City yesterday. Mr. W. L Mustin will begin
his vacation to-day. John McBride will leave

Tbo Treasury stock of gold bullion is $39,000,

The work of demolishing the old buildings on
the ground on Fourth avenne purchased in tbe
spring by the Times Publishing Company com
menced yesterday.
Under the pressure ot absenteeism it Is re
markable that prices of stocks hold up so
firmly, especially those of the class known as
speculative. There Is reason in this upon
which to predicate an active market and better
values.
Yesterday's mortgage list was one of the
largest of the season. The number on file for
record was 48, of which the most Important was
for $5,400. The rest ranged from $3,750 to 8180.
Fifteen were for purchase money.
Movements In Real Estate.
A number of brokers were questioned yester
day as to the condition of the real estate mar
ket, and tbe uniform response was that while
it was quiet there was sufficient lnauiry to
show that it bad lost none ot its interest to tho
public Sales were slow on account of ab
senteeism. Messrs. W. A. Herron fe Sons, C. H. Love,
Charles Somen Co., and Thomas Liggett re

$50,000 to $150,000, reaay to close as soon as the

BARKS AND BARKERS.
Reports From the Local Money
Centers Clerks Kept Bust.
Good
The word at the city banks yesterday was
that there was no tightness In any direction,
and that all denominations of currency and
coin were so plentiful that customers were
allowed their choice.
Tbe loan market was moderately active, the
ruling discount rate being 6 per cent. Routine
business was fair. Exchanges were $2,600,
661 22andbalances $424,503 20
A bank clerk remarked: "We usually bare
a soft snap in July and August, but this year
is an exception. Clerical work is almost as
heavy as in the best months of the year. This
shows that there has been very little falling off
in trade. We are earning our salaries right
along."

There was a rather firmer stock market yes
terday on light trading. Tho only interests
handled were Citizens' Traction bonds and
rights, Philadelphia Gas and Electric rights.
They submitted to a concession, as did also tbe
stock, due. It was said, to large selling orders
from rivals in the East. ,-
Luster was the strongest card. On favorable
news from the mine the stock was hid up to
21 in the at lernoon, without bringing any of
it out. Columbia Oil recovered some ot its
loss. Pipeage was strong at 15. Philadelphia
Gas was a trifle weaker. Street railways were
uninteresting features, as usual ot late.

OIL MOVES UP.
The Bulls Have Their Inning: After Long
and Patient Waiting:.
Yesterday's oil market was the best for a
long time, both in tone and business. It had
an upward tendency all day, and the close was
next to the highest point and X better than
tbe opening.
New York was the center of the bull move
ment. She wired an order here for a big
block, but got only part of it at 90. This set
tbe ball in motion, and Oil City and Bradford
started in to nny. .Plttsourg snio nearly an
day, bnt bought a little on breaks by way ot
diversion.
Tbe ranee of fluctuations was: Opening, 90:
Dlghest,92i;loHost, 90V: closing, 90. Refined
was marked up at New York. Reports showed
a steadv increase In consumption and reduction
of stocks. These conditions naturally-enough
made a strong market. The posted clearances
were 34.000 Parrels. It Is tbouzht Buckeye cer
tificates will be ready by tbe 15th.

STOCKS MORE ACTIVE,
But Without Any Mnterlal Recovery A
Feverlih Tone Exist Thrunshont the
Dot Railroad Bonds Duller
Than Uuil.
New Yoek. August 7. The stock market
to-day was more active, but also displayed a
more healthy tone than during the past two
days, although efforts to continue tbe decline
were not wanting. There was, however, no
material recovery, and lower prices were
marked In some of the specialties hitherto un
touched by tbe downward movement.
The Western bean are still harping upon
poor crops, while tbe local contingent lays par
ticular stress upon the real or apparent scarcity
of money, and argue that notwithstanding the
advance in the price, which tbe Secretary is
willing to pav for bonds, the first offerings of
over $10,000,000 seem to have exhausted the sup
ply, and tbe absorption of money by the Treas
ury still continues. In addition there is tbe
drain to the interior beginning to be felt again,
while tbe high rates for money in Loudon are
drawing gold from tbte side.
Tbe bulls, on the other hand, deny that the
bank reserves justify ruling rates, let alone the
extreme rates which have been exacted during
the past two days on tbe spurts, and accusa
tions ot manipulation are freely made against
a few Institutions who wsre some time ago
prominent in manipulating tbe rates for
money on call. While the market is falling
the short interest increases, and when tbe
Treasury begins to Issue the new silver notes
the monetary manipulation would in all proba
bility cease. At that time also there is likely
wuca UBbier uemauu lur securities ana less
apathy in a speculative way upon tbe bull side.
There was no lack of effort to get the market
down farther in the forenoon, but it met with
such vigorous resistance that it was soon given
up, and when that happened, the market re
turned to Its old condition of dullness with
slowly appreciating values. First prices were
fractionaily higher than last night's figures,
and there was some buying for London
account, beside evident efforts "by the
Chicago sellers of the past few
dajs to recoup. There was less
stress laid upob tbe sbortageof tbe crops there
fore, and the news from that section ot a more
hopeful character. The local contingent, bow
ever, was active in. depressing prices, and the
market was given an irregular and feverish
tone, which lasted throughout the day. There
was little effect, however, except in some of
tbe specialties like Tennesse Coal, Chicago Gas.
and Chesapeake and Ohio first preferred. The
fint named in the absence of support was
offered down from 43 to 42. and quickly rallied
to 47, closing at 46. Sugar was sold down in the
early dealings, hut later recovered about all of
tbe loss. Pressure was severe upon Atchison,
Missouri Pacific, Atchison and St. Paul, but
neither suffered particularly. The market after
the attacks wet e overalways sank backinto tbe
usual dullness with a slow and steadyapprecla
tion of valnes. The close was dull, bat firm,
ana generally at about first prices. Tbe final
changes were generally small fractional ad
vances, but Tennessee Coal is down 3, Cbesa
Seake and Ohio fint preferred lfi and Chicago

usual of late, and a few important losses were
sustained. Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans

been dull and steady.
State bonds have been entirely neglected.

The PojI says: The reports respecting the
condition of tbe crops would Indicate a very
serious damage to corn, bnt as they come prin
cipally from Chicago speculators, who at pres
ent are bears on stocks, there Is reason to bo
lieve that the injury is much smaller than re
ported, and railroad officials who have just re
turned from a trip through the corn pelt say
there is every reason to expect an average crop.
Tbe coal stocks were more active, and after an
early decline recovered to last night's prices. A
meeting ot sales agents of tbe coal companies
was held yesterday, at which there was a gen
eral disposition to adopt measures to Improve
the condition of tbe trade, bnt no definite ac
tion was taken. Louisville was unusually ac
tive, and although lower in tbe first hour was
unchanged at 12 o'clock. The Trunk Line
stocks were dnll but steady, and from the
action of tbe representatives at the meeting
yesterday, it looks as if existing rate troubles
will be settled in a short time. The decline of
2 per cent in sugar In tbe first hour was on sell
ing based on the application of Beceiver Gray
to be made a defendant In the reorganization
of the Sugar Trust, but decision was reserved
and the impression prevails that tbe applica
tion will be'denled. A large business was done
in silver certificates, 268,000 ounces having
been sold at a decline of for tbe forenoon.

Trade In this line is only fair. Melons and
tomatoes are in large supply and markets show
a downward tendency. Creamery butter Is
very firm at higher prices. The advance of 3c
per pound at Elgin on Monday Is fully sus
tained. Markets there are strong at the ad
vance. Eggs are dnll and slow, owing to large
receipts of Western stock. Nearby eggs are
steady. Grapes are coming in freely from tbo
West and prices are dnf ting downward. Re
cent rains have very much improved prospects
of home-raised vegetables. There is a variety
of opinion as to value of best brands of cream
ery butter. One jobber puts prices up to 25c
per pound. On the other band a retail dealer
in Diamond market proffers to furnish the best
at 20c per pound. The real market stands
about midway between these figures. A cash
buyer who is ready to pay 22o for a job lot will
find that be will not be turned away empty.

of cereals still continues and markets are
steady to firm all along the line. Oats, which
have been rather quiet the past week, have
joined In tbe upward movement, and prices are
advanced, as our quotations will disclose. Mill
feed is still scarce, but prices are unchanged.
Wheat and flour are stead II v advancing. Al
ready wheat is quoted at SI per bushel and
spring patent flour at SS per barrel, in wood.
But actual markets shade these figures for
cash in job lots. One of our flour jobbers re
ports the present lav-down cost of fancy spring
patents, in wood, at $5 65. Tbe effort to bring
wheat up to tbe dollar mark has thus far been
a failure. A representative of one of our lead
ing city flouring mills said to-day that he conld
buy all tbe wheat be wanted at 95c per bushel.

Everything Moves Down a
Peg Pork Unsettled.
CH ICAGO Wheat An easier feeling existed
to-day, and tbe advance of yesterday was lost.
The market was governed mainly by specula
tive Influence. Tbe Northwest was reported as
selling, and foreigners also sold for future de
livery. The market opened about tbe same as
yesterday's closing to shade less, but became
weak, and prices declined, with only slight
fluctuations, 1X1C for September and 1C
for December, rallied slightly, prices advancing
Jc, again eased off, declining l'ic, and closed
about lIc lower than yesterdaj's closing
figures.
Corn A good, general speculativo trade was
witnessed In this market. The feeling prevail
ing was a little unsettled, the market ruling
firm early, but easier as- tbe day advanced.
A prominent railroad official states that corn in
Iowa and Illinois and generally west of the
Missouri river will be a fair crop, eastern half
of Kansas and Nebraska will be very moderate,
and half ot these States practically nothing.
The Cincinnati Price Current estimates tho
crop at 1,600,000,000 bushels, or about 6,000,000
bushels short of last year. Tbe market opened
lKc better than tbe closing prices of yester
day, was firm for a time, then ruled easier, and
prices receded 22c rallied and ruled
steady, and closed Qc lower than yesterday.
Oats were fairly active but weaker and lower,
but exhibited more steadiness than on yester
day. The opening was unsettled and Kc
higher. A weaker feeling developed, and was
increased by tbe decline in wheat and corn, and
prices receded 11: from tbe highest figures,
but rallied sligutly and tbe mirki-t closed
steady at'nearly inside prices and Kc lower
than yesterday.
Mess Pork A fairly active trade was re
ported. Sales were made at 2025c advance at
the opening, but later in the day a gradual re
duction of 5055c was submitted to. Toward
the close prices rallied 610c, and tbe market
closed quiet

active early, and sales were made at 1312Xc
