THE HTTSBtFBG DISPATCH, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 13, 1890. u IRON TEADE HEVIEW. Kot the Slightest Indication of Either Advance or Decline. DEALERS WHO EXPECTED A BOOM ire Somewhat Disappointed Ij the Situa tion and Prospects. BEPOETS FE01I THE LEADING CENTERS There are no indications of an upward movement in sight. IT or, on 'he other hand, are there any signs of a decline. Markets are fairly steady at last -week's prices. A year ago at this time there was great activity and prices were on the advance. Dealers who anticipated a forward movement this week are disappointed in their expectations. There are rumors of sales below last week's prices, but such sales, if there were any, were forced by necessities of furnacemen. Raw iron is essentially the same this week as last. There is a very active demand for muck bar iron. The hot weather of August lessened output, and the effect is seen in in creased demand. While prices aro unchanged, markets are very firm, and all signs point to an advance be fore many days. The demand for manufactured Iron continues good at old prices. .Nails are steady at last week's prices. The movement is artive and prices are Arm. Steel rails are weaker, and competition has brought prices to a loner level. Blooms and billets stand as quoted last week, but markets are scarcely as strong. Structural Iron continues in excellent demand.

The general iron market does not show the same good feel ing that it has for several weeks. The pig iron market is anything but strong. The supply ap pears to be ahead of the demand.

Rogers, Brown fc Co. saj : An acth e demand has been experi enced for mill iron during the past week at the prices current a week ago, and some liberal sales have been made, but the supply of these grades is scarcely equal to the wants of buyers. A firmer feeling has resulted. There has been a steady consumptive demand for the lower grades of foundrv irons for delivery during the remainder or life pres ent ear, and in not a fow Instances orders have extended into the first two or three months of next year, hut the furnaces strive to secure, and in some instances do obtain an ad vance for such deliveries. The movement of iron from furnace yards and other places of storage, on back orders, is heavy, bat there Is still much complaint of lack of cars or other facilities in the South to make the shipments required by consumers. There have been moderate sales ot Southern charcoal brands, hut Ies inquiry for Lake Superior iron. The furnaces m the lake legion-, however, have little iron to disposeof, the full capacity of such stocks on ordinary grades have been previously sold.

The week past has been one of lowering prices in the line of garden stuff. Warm weather and timely rains haw very much im proved the prospects for vegetables, and pr'ces are lower than they were last Saturday all along the line. Tomatoes dropped during the week from $1 50 a bushel to 50c, and though there is a partial recovery from lowest prices, 75c a bushel is the outside rate to-day. In a jobbing way, both Irish and sweet potatoes are lowertban last week, bnt retail prices are prac tically the same. Grapes are plenty, and quality has very much improved the past week. With improvement in quality comes lower prices and rates are now 5Sc per ft. Staple meats are unchanged. The oyster season is now fully opened, and demand is good. The supply of fish is still short of demand. All Western fish are very so tree, and Ea-tern stock are not up to demand. Laws forbid the placing of nets in the lakes from June to Sep tember. The first catch will not be due in this market much before October. In the mean time, stock ot lake fish Is far short of demand. The supply from the Cast is also limited. Florists report a slack trade for the week. Price, however, are tending upward, owing to the wane of outdoor products. staple Mentn.

A Citizen of East Liberty Fats in a Plea for a Market flonse. KANSAS CITI'S GREAT BOOMERANG Two Transactions in Realty Involving Over Sixty Thousand Dollars. THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI "East Ender" writes: "I think the sug gestion for a market house in this part of the city is in the right direction. "We have lone felt the need of one. I have often won dered why some of our capitalists couldn't see that there was money in such a venture. There is no donbt that it would be well patronized by both sellers and buyers. It wonld bring supplies within easy reach of the people at a saving of considerable time and money. It wouldn't hurt the Pittsburg market, for it has more business than it can well handle. As a public or private enter prise I know of nothing that is so urgently needed, or that wonld be a more profitable in vestment. I hope the subject will not be per mitted to drop out of sight." Uoomlne the Wrone War. Kansas City, after booming for several years, is experiencing the throes of a boomerang. "Pap" Kennedy, the veteran conductor on the Pennsylvania Railroad, who was out there a short time ago, said yesterday: "Three years of bad crops have taken the snap out of Kan sas City. There are blocks upon blocks of empty business houses, many of them as fine as any in Pittsburg. Buildings that cost 500,000 to 5100,000 are offered upon almost any terms. Agriculture being the mainstay of the place, a succession of crop failures lelt a large element of the community nothing to do but move away. There are also a great many empty dwellings there. A gentleman told me that at least 10.000 people had left the city. It may re cover from the depression, bnt not for some years. Farming is too uncertain and there are not works enough to attract ana bold peonle who earn their living by the sweat of their brow." Bntlne New and Gosulp. The Peoples' Natural Gas Company has adopted a new plan for selling the fuel. Con sumers are required to pay monthly In ad vonce. There is a hitch in Penn avenue Improve ment, WilMnsburg. The Street Committee of Council recommended that work cease for the present. Members of the committee were so confident Council wonld indorse this view that they dismissed the contractor. But Council ordered the work to be resumed. The con tractor says bis dismissal annulled his contract and relieved him from all penalties, and inti mates that he will resume operations whenever it suits him. He was hard run for stone and the action of the committee relieved him of considerable apprehension and possible loss. The tangle will no doubt be straightened, as the avenue cannot be left in its present condi tion. A gentleman connected with the Pennsyl vania Railroad said yesterday that within five years all Wall accommodation trains wonld be run by electricity. There Is some talk of the Dnquesne Traction Company crossing the railroad at Wilkinsburg on a bridge at Penn avenue. They refuse to be responsible for all damages that might ac crue from tunneling at Wood street. The 520.000 McKeesport 4 per cent school bonds advertised for sale in these columns a few days ago by William JI. Bell were taken by a local capitalist at a good premium. The city is now about issuing 585,000 funding bonds, which no doubt will find a ready sale. Sixteen of 35 mortgages on the list yesterday were for purchase money. The largest was for $19,500. Chicago is to have what, it is claimed, will be the largest building in the world in the new de partment store to be erected at State, Adams and Dearborn streets. The building will have a front of 190 feet on State street, 350 on Adams and 190 on Dearborn, will ne 16 stories high, and will cost $3,000,000. John S. Morrison, Joseph K. Cass, Richard Beaston. John G. Anderson and Oliver L. Etnier have applied for a charter for the Mor rison Sc Cass Paper Company. No time for a meeting of the Sixth street bridge directors to decide on the bridge has Deeu fixed.

A Fair Movement In stock. With More Losses Than Gains. Stock trading was not bad yesterday, coulld ering the general depression caused by tight meney. Sales were 292 shares, besides consid erable Electric scrip. Curiously enough, coal stocks or some" of them at least grow stronger as evidences of a rood supply of natnral gas multiplies. New York and Cleveland gas coal sold up to 36, and closed firm at 35. Closing prices, as compared with those ot the previous day, showed slight declines in Phila delphia Gas, Pleasant Valley Railway, Electric and Switch and Signal. By the same compari son Luster was a small fraction better. The tractions offered nothing new in conditions or quotations. MBST CALL. B A SECOND CALL. B A THIED CALL. B A P. P. 8. ft M.

BATHER TIGHT. Money Enough for Regnlar Cnitomern, bnt Ootvidem Leas Forlnnnte. Money has not been superabundant in this market for several days. It was the same yes terday. A bank cashier said: "We are pretty close, but have enough for regular customers. The lines are drawn on outsiders. Country paper has no show with us." Another official remarked: "We have plenty of funds, but some of the banks are short. There has been considerable loaning on stock collateral of late, and many importers have in vested largely In goods to head off the tariff. To these causes the stringency is almost en tirely dne. I think the action of the Treasury will soon remove the pressure." There was a good demand for accommoda tions, and rates were strong at 67 per cent. Exchanges were 52,336,893 26, and balances 5409,823 24. Money on call at New YorK yesterday was tight, ranging from 1.80 to 6 per cent, laBt loan 6, closed offered at 6. Prime mercantile paper 79.

Pennsylvania OH Mcnily but DnII Tho Backeye Prodnct till Neglected. Pennsylvania oil was steady yesterday, bnt trading was light. Tho closing price was the highest. Of outside exchanges New York was the most active, buying at the bottom and selling at the top. The range of fluctuations was: Opening. 81c; highest, 82c; lowest, 81c: close, 82c Clearings were 40.000 bar rels. Refined was higher at New York and lower at Antwerp. As usual, nothing was done in Buckeye. It was offered at 34c, but there were no bids. It seems to be just where the Standard wants it and where traders and outsiders don't want it. So long as there are uo fluctuations it will be a dead horse in the pit. Features of Yesterday's Oil Market. Corrected dally by John M.

Bonn Pnt on the Screws Atraln Outsiders Milking- the Street Rnraor of tho Sect e tnry of the Treasury Being; In Town Influences the Market. New York, September 12. The stock mar ket to-day was again influenced by the scarcity of money, while the screws of bear manipula tion were agatn put on to increase the already sufficient demoralization of weak holders of stock. The stringency has now continued so long that Wall street is beginning to fear that it will in time prostrate the business of the whole country. The rate again went up to Jf per cent premium and interest, but later in the day, when a rumor was circulated that the Sec retary of tho Treasury was in town and in con ference with leading bankers and had been offered a large block of 4 per cents, the rate again went down to near the legal rate ahd finally closed at that figure. Everyone expected a weak opening this morning, and no one was disappointed iu that respect, for there was a rpsh to sell, and in many stocks the evident Intention was to sell tbemaslowas nosslhle. fnr rtnritT,t.tnn a,i Quincywas opened off 3 per cent at 94, and Sugar Refineries, 1 at 74. In the case of the former there was at least no occurrence over night which could make such a difference in its value. Sugar, was affected by the announce ment that the next dividend would be passed, and the general opinion is that the insiders are again milking the street and that a sudden turn may be expected in the stock at any time. There were heavy sales in the early trading, and some stop orders, principally In sugar, were met, which forced that stock off 2K per cent farther, but the selling movement was over by that time and a sharp rally took place on the extensive covering of shorts, which ran prices up to the level of the opening figures, and. In some cases, beyond. The ramor In regard to the Secretary was theu circulated, and induced some buying for the long account, with fresh covering, and a still sharper rally occurred, Chicago Gas rising over 3 per cent in less than one Eonr. The rumor conld not be tracad to snr tnthanti. ,.. JJiow ever, and the urgent demand toon slacked J away, bnt the Improved feeling, together with the easing up of the money rates, kept the firm tone going, and in some cases even higher prices were reached in the last hour. The re coveries from the lowest figures extended to about 24 per cent. The market finally closed quiet and firm generally at small fractions better than the opening prices but at irregular changes from last night's final prices. The final changes In the list to-night are irregular and generally for slight fractions, the only important ones being losses of 2JJc in Sugar and IJgc In Wheeling and Lake Erie and a gain of Vi in Pacific Mall. Railroad bonds were firmer, and while most of the Important changes are in the downward direction, the general list showed a better tone throughout. The sales reached 5787,000, out of which the Reading s contributed 5106,000. The market losses were Chesapeake and Ohio, Richmond and Allegheny lata 2 at 67, Chicago and East Illinois 5s, 2 at 96; Morris and Essex "is, -in as 135; Louisville New Albany and Chicago consols. 1 at lOlJi; Kansas and Texas general 63. 1 at 80: Reading second incomes, 2 at 49; Alton and Terre Haute dividends, 2 at 50. aud Rio Grande Western 4s, 1 at 72. At lantic and Pacific incomes were an exception, rising yt to 16. Government bonds have been dull and steady, state bonds have been entirely neg lected. The .Poj says: Considering how narrow the stock market has been for several months past there has been a large liquidation in the specu lative holdings of stocks in the last two days. The promptness with which prices re covered to-day shows that the liquidation has been pretty complete, and that the stocks have gone into stronger hands. The borrowing de mand for a goon many stocks, which the bor rowers were willing to carry at 8 to 10 per cent per annum until Monday (in other words, to lend money on them at 8 to 10 per cent), while at the same time the rates to regular borrowers of money were of 1 per cent for the three uija, or say u per cent per annum, snow mere Is still alarge short interest In these stocks to be covered. These features point to a strong recovery in prices in the stock market as soon as the money question is settled. The following table shows the prices or active stocks on the Mew York Stock Exchange yester day.

The rivers are on tho rampage, and are rising steadily, so that the probabilities are that some damage may yet result. As it is, it is considered dangerous to ship coal down the Monongahela, and no shipments will be made nntil the storm subsides and the rivers are down to their nor mal state. The Monongahela yesterday showed a rise of three feet 5 inches, summing up 13 feet. ana 0 inches 01 water. The Allegheny took a nso of 4 feet dnring the 24 hours. The rise will grobably be greater to-day and to-morrow. oui3 of the river stations report an unprece dented amount of rainfall for this time of the year. Drlfiwood. CAPTAIN JOHN MOKENand W. J.

Creamery butter is slow, and prices are lower. Strictly fresh eggs read ily bring ontside quotations and even more. Fancy apples are good stock. Bananas are dull and slow. Oranges are steady and lemons firm. The adverse element of produce trade to day was weather. Volume of business was below the average for Friday, and prices were lower than recent rates.

Edouard Strauss, the leader of the Vienna Orchestra at the Madison Square Garden, tells a good story about his brother, Jobann Strauss, which he claims is absolutely new, says a writer in the New York Horning Journal. It is to the effect that an old lady admirer of the Strauss music, in Vienna, ordered In her last will and testament that s Strauss waltz should .be played at her funeral, for which each member of the or chestra was to receive a ducat. The heirs objected at first on religions grounds to carry ont this plan, bnt the pro visions of the will were distinct and could not be violated withont endangering their own claims. So Strauss and his musicians were engaged, and placed in a circle around the grave, and while the coffin was being; lowered they played the favorite waltz of their late lamented admirer. Certainly a waltz does not seem the appropriate accom paniment to a burial, hut a few of tha selections which Strauss has played during; his present engagement at the Madison Square Garden have been of snitabla dignity, it not of a melancholy or luqubri ous nature. There are also some,of the Stranss waltzes, notably those of Johann Strauss the second, in which are phrases of morbid pathos which almost cause the tears to start, ons knows not why or wherefore. "WHAT A MAN WILL SEE. Charged With Drunkenness by a Row of Pnrrois WKh Tlncups for Hats. St. Lonls Bepubllc "Singular what qneer ideas liquor will pnt into a man's he:d," quoth a veteraa ronnder. "I had a funny experience once. We had been playing one-night stands and moving long jumps and I had been broken of my rest for two weeks and trying to keep np on stimulants until my nerves wera nearly shattered. Then we struck a week's stand and the first night I was invited to a 'little supper' and drank a good deal of fizz. I got to bed somehow, and about an hour later I was awakened by a hoarsa voice which solemnly croaked: 'Drunk againl Drunk again! "Hooked up in terror and beheld seated in a row on the high footboard of my bed a row of very large green parrots, each with a bright, new tincnp on its head, set rakishiy askew, and tied under the chin. The middle bird, or interlocutor, was pnre white. X stared at them and they ogled me diabolic ally, and a creepy sensation went over me. Presently the white one, with a very ju dicial manner, croaked, 'Drunk againl' And all the rest solemnly raised their wings aud swelled the horrible chorus, 'Drank againl Drnnk again!' "And do what I wonld, those infernal birds stayra with me till daylight singing the same old refrain. "Why, Poe's raven was a very innocuous fowl to those fiends In tin cups."
