Kew York Pis Iron Market Con
trolled by Northern Furnaces.
SOUTHERN PKICES SOW SO HIGH
That the Dome Article is Preferred Be
cause of the Quality.
A SHARP ADTASCE ACROSS THE WATER
nsrZCtAL TELEGHAM TO TUB DISPATCH.!
XewYokk. September 18. The Iron
Age quotes the metal markets as follows:
The New York market is practically in the
control of the Northern furnaces, the
Southern companies generally asking prices
for foundry grades which are higher than
well-known brands ol Xorthern iron equiva
lent or superior in quality. From the
AVest comes the report that stocks on Sep
tember 1 were 35.000 tous lower than on
August L This, however, is largely due to
the falling off in the supply on hand of a
large plant Still, the report shows that the
current consumption was capable of coping
with production in spite of the drawbacks
caused by the hot weather of Aunust. We
continue to quote SlTglS for If o. 1. and S16 00
16 SO for No. 2 foundry, good Northern brands,
while Southern irons are selling at S17 0017 25
for No. 1. f 16 O0I6 25 for No. 2 and tU 75Q15 25
lorNn. a boutlicrn car wheel iron is quoted
120 5021 00 for Nos. 3. 4 and 5, and S19 5020 00
for Nos. 1 and 2 delivered.
Spiegelcisen and Ferro The market is ex
reeding! uull, w ith only occasional small trans
actions In ferro at declining prices. e quote
20 per cent spiegeleiscn, S30g30 50, and 80 per
cent ferro, f69ffi70.
Wire Rods There is no chance of doing any
business in foreign rods, while domestic rods
are selling in a moderate way at 13 50314 at
seller's mill
Billets There have been rumors that one of
the leading Eastern mills has been cutting the
market considerable under tho parity of prices
in the West, which is 32 50633.
Swedish .Material The market shows a de
clining; tendency. We quote rivet rods 160 50
W 00, acceding to time of delivery.
Steel Rails So far as the Eastern mills are
concerned, the market has been exceedingly
quiet, and the outlook is regarded as some
what unsatisfactory. Orders are coming in
very slowly, and In a quiet way are being
sharply competed tor. It is acknowledged that
$30 has been doue. and it is believed that a
price even lower than that has been accepted.
The report of the Board of Control shows quite
a satisfactory .volume of business, the deliv
eries up to September 1 bavins been 912.SS1
gross tons, wnile the sales for 1890 delivery are
reported at L353.9C4 gross tons. The 25,000 ton
Union Pacific order has been postponed.
Manufactured Iron and Steel Plates con
tinue very active, there having been a sale of
a 500-ton lot ut Iron tank plates at 2.25c. and a
lot of 500 tons of steel tank at private terms.
Si eel tank is now quoted. 2 60c: suell, 2.65
2.85c; flange, 3.05c and Are box, 4.25c Wrought
finished steel shafting is quoted. 2.102.20cat
mill, and machinery steel 2.10c base, at mill.
Old Rails The market is very quiet, buyers
not bemc willing to pav the prices now gener
ally asked. $25 50S26 00 for tees. Importers
cannot do anything for Western deliverv. be
cause it is too risky to attempt to ship by
canal.
Scrap We note two sales of 500-ton lots of
prime selected railroad scrap at private terms.

New York. September 18, The lion Age
quotes the British iron and metal markets as
follows from London: In pig iron warrants
there had been a sharp rise all around. Scotch
advanced Is. 5d. to 51s: Cleveland Is. 31-2J. to 17s.
lOJd. and hematite Is. 10d. to 58s. 3d. during the
eek. Operations have been on a large scale,
and stimnlated by the prospect of a strike by
the furnace workers taking place next month.
Keported scarcity of fuel and consequent in
creased cost of production also tend to promote
speculation, nhile rapidly declining stocks and
improvement in the trade demand serve to
strengthen the position materially. Copperad
anced shandy early in the wcek reacning 61
12s. 6a., ,nder the influence of Heavy outside
busing, home of the prominent bulls" then
sold freely, causing a reaction to 60 17s. 6d.,
but since the withdrawal of that pressure
prices moved back to 61 10s. The control of
the market is in strong hands, and a still
further rie in prices is considered likelv.
Prices for block tin on the spot advanced to
99 7$. Cd.. selling at a premium over futures.
Supplies for near delivery are very scarce and
large purchase- have been reported of calls at
100 extending over November. This move
ment is attiibuted to threatened small supplies
owing to the condition of the market for silver
and threatened l.ibor troubles. Available
stocks are low and very firmly held for still
higher prices. On tin plates buyers and sellers
are still wide apart and both sides appear to
prefer waiting. Makers are particularly slow
to make engagements pending a final settle
ment of the American tariff bill. Under the
present state ot affairs only nominal prices are
quoted. Steel ship plates are now quoted at
i.6 10s. at Barrow, and wire rods are up 2s. 6d,
button other forms of steel there has been rad
ical change. Advices from tne continental
markets report a firmer feeling there on both
iron and steeL
American Manufacturer's Cable Quotations.
Scotch Pig Activity in warrants has revived
under the stimulus of a variety of "bullish"
circumstances, and prices have advanced
sharply, touching 51s. For makers' iron prices
are higher nearly all along the line and the de
mand good.

COKE IN GOOD DEMAND.
The Maine Old Story or a bbort Supply of
Cnrn Orden on the Increase Ship
ment! Somenrlint Larger.
fSrrCIAL TELIGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
SCOTTPAT.K, September 18. The coke mar
ket is still excellent as far as the demand is con
cerned, but Its prosperity is hindered by the
same old barrier inadequate car supply. The
demand is of as large proportions as recorded
a couple weeks ago. and if anything is larger.
The increase is ascribed to furnaces
which were not then taking coke,
and which are now sending in orders
regularly. The operators experience no diffi
culty in filling the mauy orders, but cannot
get the coke, at least a good proportion of it,
to destination on account of the scarcity of
cars. Consumers are still expostulating over
not Having sumcieni met to eperaio iueir
plants. Their stock bonses are well
nigh emptied and they are compelled to
economize on their present stock. The efforts
of the railroad officials to overcome the de
pression in the car supply have not been entirely
iutile. either. Last week they succeeded iu
making somewhat of an improvement, and the
result was a spurt in shipments. The tailroad
people say the rush for cars is unprecedented
from almost all sources, and that they never
knew of them to be so scarce at this juncture
of the year.
The augmentation in shipments is attributed
only to the improvement in transportation.
The supply is still scant, however, but there
are evidences that it is going to be restored to
normal condition. The increase in shipments
was not confined to one but to all points. The
works are making five days ner week as a gen
eral rule. Rainey, Hostetter and the McUlure
Company continues to make full time six
davs. Coke continues to be piled ud on the
yards.
The number of Idle ovens have been consid
erably diminished. Last week the list of in
active ovons was estimated atabout3,450. This
week the number is placed'at 2,550. The re
sumption of the Standard plant, bv the settle
ment of the strike, and some scattering ovens
has lowered the nnmber 1,000. This list will
also be decreased by the resumption of the
Leisenring No. 2 plant of 500 ovens, which has
been out for repairs. The Charlotte plant of 87
ovens Is still nut of blast.
Shipments last week averaged about 1,072
cars perday, as against 967 cars of the previous
week. There was a total increase of 630 cars.
Shipments were consigned to points of con
sumption as follows: To points west of Pitts
burg. 3,650 cars; to Pittsburg and river points,
I,w cars; to points east i jrmsuurg. 1,100 cars.
Total, 6.430 cars. There is no indications of a
chance in the prices for coke. The following
prices still rule: Furnace coke, 12 15; foundry,
! 15: crushed. til 65.

Pittsburg's Great Advantages for All
Kinds of Manufacturing.
OPENINGS FOk NEW ENTEKPEISES.
Trading in Local Stocks Moderately Brisk,
bat Tallies on the Run.
THE JCEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI
In keeping Pittsburg before the people
her advantages as a manufacturing point
should not be overlooked. Abundance oi
natural gas, coal and coke, at her very
doors, affords an inexhaustible supply ot
fuel at about half the cost which other com
munities are compelled to pay. She is now
the center of the oil trade of this country.
Her products can be shipped to Southern
and Western markets by rail and river.
The cost of living here is as cheap as else
where. Homes are easily acquired. The
climate is salubrious and hcalthlul. Every
thing is in her favor.
Under such favorable conditions ber pros
perity should not excite wonder. It is as
simple as cause and effect. Great as she is,
she is not finished. No city in the country
is growing faster. She has nearly 4,000 in
dustrial establishments, but there is room
for as mauy more. Manufacturing sites arc
numerous and cheap. Capitalists and
tollers seeking to better their condition should
visit Pittsburg and see vbat she is, and what
she is destined to be, before locating elsewhere.
Lnw From the Illehrst Conit.
The Supreme Court of the United States
held, In the recent case of Smith ct al. vs Mc
Groarty, that the filing of a voluntary assign
ment for the benefit of creditors, and of the
assignee's bond, in a probate court, under the
statutes of Ohio, did not prevent a creditor
who was a citizen of another State and had not
become a party to the proceedings in the State
court from suing in equity in the Circuit Court
of the United States to set aside a mortgage
made by the debtor cotemporancnusly with the
assignment. The same court held, in the case
of Reynolds vs Adden. that a citizen of New
Hampshire was not precluded by an assign
ment in insolvency proceedings bad In Massa
chusetts from attaching goods of the insolvent
found in Louisiana.

TIGHT M0HET
Cnasea of Ihe Stringency Quarterly Settle,
mend The Boston Failure.
Local bankers drew the lines quite taut yes
terday In extending their favors to borrowers,
some of them discriminating sharply between
regular customers and outsiders. In fact,
money was tight. One or two banks were so
short that they were compelled to decline con
siderable good paper, but managed to satisfy
their regular trade. Other institutions had no
trouble. As the sum of the situation, it may
be said that there is enough loose cash here for
ordinary business purposes, but none to put
Into new ventures.
This condition arises from the fact that most
of the city banks have been free lenders for
some time. As a cashier put it: "There has
been good demand for money all season, and
we bave tried to supply it. That's what wa are
here for. It we didn't loan when we can we incur
the risk of having our funds left on our hands,
earning nothing. We can't afford to run
risks."
One cause "f the existing stringency here Is
attributed to preparations for the third quar
terly settlements, now almost at hand. Con
siderable money will be needed to even up
obligations at that time, and itls being hoarded
for that purpose. These disbursements out of
the way, greater ease Is looked tor.
The drift of opinion of local financiers In re
gard to the Boston failure, as ascertained in a
nnmber of Interviews yesterday, was to the
effect that It would have little effect here be
yond making bankers still more cautions in ex
tending favors. Pittsburg banks bave very
rlleht connection with the Hub, and are not
affected in the least by the crash. It may seri
ously affect the Eastern trade, bnt, as this is a
minor Interest here, no bad results to Pittsburg
are iiseiy to iouow.

$432.100 57. Clerical business was fair. Rates
were steady at 6Q7 per cent on call and time
loans. Currency was easier.
The New York Tribune turns on the light as
follows: "The whole of this late money scare
is the greatest wonder of the century. There
are two sides to it, which are not at all allied
in their purposes. Tneoneisfor the creation
of a monetary crisis which will compel the
Treasury to bo a purchaser of 4 per cent bonds
at 126127j the other is only an attempt to
frighten real holders of miscellaneous securi
ties into the market as sellers, that a large
'short' interest may be covered at a profit, Tho
one part wants a high price ior Government
bonds,nd tho other a low price for miscellan
eous securities. It is a curious combination of
speculative forces. But they have during the
last three weeks worked in perfect accord for
the accomplishment of their separate pur
poses." Mr. S. V. White sets a good example of cour.
age and firmness to his fellow men in Wall
street. He says: "Look upward, not down
ward. The worst is over- and the money mar
ket will be easier. Heretofore borrowers bave
gone with trembling bands to ask loans, and
you know how sensitive lenders are to tne way
they are approached. Now there will be more
confidence, and half of the stringency has come
from scare."

STOCKS OK THE BUH.
Connldernble Business Transacted, bnt
Yhlties ShowI.nck offrtaylnc Power.
The Boston failure had no perceptible effect
on the local stock board yesterday. Bidding
was livelier than usual, and a fair amount of
business was transacted. This, however, was
at the expense of values, nearly everything
showmg-a lack of backbone.
The most active thing on the list was West
inghouse scrip. It was wanted in unlimited
quantities at 75 and freely offered at 78. It is
stated that Mr. Westinghouse will soon issue a
circular to stockholders urging those who have
not accepted their allotment of new stock to
come forward and do so.
As showing that buyers are caution. Pitts
burg Traction was offered down to 34 and
Central to 26K without takers. Philadelphia
Gas and Electric submitted to considerable
concessions, as did nearly everything else on
the active list. With few exceptions closing
prices were the lowest of the day.

Nothing was done in Buckeye, nor will there
be until the Standard accepts exchange quota

however, is not probable, as it is stated it never

Wall Street Movement Quiet and Irregular
St. Pnnl Selected for Attack
Strength In Rio Grande
Western.
New York, September 18. The stock mar
ket to-day was quiet and irregular in its move
ments, but displayed a firm undertone, and,
notwithstanding the' bear pressure displayed
most prominently in the Grangers, the impres
sion made upon values outside of St. Paul was
insignificant. The buying was steady through
out, and the market was active only when the
bears endeavored to get pnees down by short
sales. There (s a great deal heard from the
shorts now about the liquidation which must
comojip in any rise in values, but it seems' to
attract little attention, and, while the army of
buyers Is not large at present, the growing ease
in the money market is expected to de
velop it soon and the indication ate
been seriously diminished by the late decline,
must Inevitably furnish a stimulus to any rise
which may come. The purchase of the 4 per
cents, most of the funds from which will come
to this city, was the last final blow to the
manipulation of the money market, and, while
operators are slow to take bold, the return of
confidence must in the near future create not
only a wider and'more active market, but an
improvement in values as well. Talk is already
beard of gold imports, notwithstanding the cry
that there would be no cereals for export, but
the fact that there is still a larce surplus left
over and only one country in Europe has over
an average crop, renders a demand for what we
have to a certainty, and that at materially
higher figures than "were prevalent a year ago.
Wt Paul was selected as tbo special point of
I attack, but it yielded only 1 per cent on the
......... n,al, luB payment. toUB .i
and Northern would be made by an issue of
new stock. The efforts to get prices down met
with no success in the remainder of the list,
however, and before noon a strong tone was
again developed, which continued without In
terruption for tiieest of the day. The bulls
took Lackawanna. Chicago Gas and in Borne
specialties the gains were marked. The feat
ures ot the lato trading was the strength in the
Rio Grande Western stocks and Mobile and
Ohio, the latter rising 2 per cent, Rio Grande
Western 4. Slight recessions took place
toward the close of business, but they were
generally recovered, and the market finally
closed quiet, but firm to strong, at or near the
best prices of the day.
Almost everything traded in is higher this
evening, and-8ueariup2 Chicago Gas '1.

Railroad bonds wero more active than nsual
of late. The sales were S9i6,000, but out of that
amount $277,000 were in Atchison 4s. The final
changes are generally in the direction of higher
figures, but only slight gains were scored as a
rule. Reading 4s and Richmond and West
Point Trust 5a are conspicuous for strength,
but no other feature is to be noted. Govern
ment bonds heavy. State bonds steady, dull.
The I'ost says now that the question of the
Treasury buying any more 4 per cent bonds is
settled, money has become decidedly easy, even
before one-third 01 the purchased 4 per cents
have been paid for. Up to 1:30 o'clock to-day
the sub-treasury bad paid for $7,000,000 of the 4
per cent bonds, and on this money was easy all
day. Tho highest rate was 6 per cent in the
forenoon, from which it declined to 3 in the
afternoon. The market was firm for stocks,
the highest price of the day having been tnado
about 2.o'clock, when everything was from i.
to 2J per cent higher than yesterday's closing.

Hardware Very Active.
The hardware outlook was never better than
it is at this time. Summer's trade experienced
no lull, as Is the common custom. A leading
dealer said: "Ourtrade was never in a healthier
condition than it is now. Speculative influ
ences do not enter into the present activity of
trade. Manufacturers are busy, and we have
found it difficult of late to have our orders
filled. As a result ot this activity, prices are
hardening, and an advance is probable in most
hardware lines before many days. The outlook
for big fall trade is all that could be desired.
Results so far insure the largest volume of
business for 1890 we have ever had."
Prttbur' LlHht Shines.
At a Pittsburg establishment where reflect
ors are a specialty it was learned that orders
are coming in from the ends of the earth. A
missionary in the heart of India, under date of
August S, writes that in a new churcb about
completed in a city of 0,000 inhabitants they are
longing for a PlttsDurg reflector. The same
firm has recently placed orders for their light
spreading apparatus in mission churches of
Japan and China. "Let yonr light shine," is a
familiar injunction, and our manufacturers
are living up to it by furnishing the means for
spreading light all around the globe.

ceipts will be depreciated because of these de
lays. There is an improved demand for choice
apples and potatoes. Cabbage is dull and slow.
Supply of grapes is short of demand for the
first time In the past week. Commission men
attribute shortage to railroad blockades. Poul
try is fairly steady and eggs are firm. Dairy
products are quiet. We have reduced our
quotations on Elgin creamery batter in accord
ance with stnbDorn facts. Our inside quota
tions on creamery butter are the ruling rates
of markets lor cash job lots.

Groceries.
The coffee situation is very firm and jobbers
here wonder that there has been no advance in
packages. Sugars are also strong enough to go
np higher. The movement of general groceries
continues active, with prices practically un
changed. Dried and canned fruits are suffer
ing from the reaction, consequent upon specu
lative influences which sent prices above real
values. Markets in this line are in an unset
tled condition.

CHICAGO Wheat There was good specu
lative trading to-day, bnt a feeling of nervous
uncertainty pervaded th'n market all day. The
opening was about 4JKe lower than yester
day's closing; held firm and advanced Hc,
then a weak spell set In, caused no doubt by
the rumor of another failure at Boston which
was afterward denied and prices declined V
c From this there was an irregular ad
vance of fj2c, cased off some and closed
about ac higher for December, lje higher for
May than closing figures yesterday. Tlere
were frequent fluctuations within the estab
lished range.- The improvement was perhaps
attributable as much to local speculation as
to any outside news.
Corn There was a good trade. The opening
was strong nnd prices were advanced c A
decline of z followed. The Price, CurienCt
statement that the corn hadn't been injured by
the late frost, bnt w.it still immature and light
frosts would help the maturiue: process brought
about a good rally, and the market closed
with a slight gain.
Oats were traded in moderately for May. but
other deliveries were neglected. Free selling
at the start and the weakness In wheat and
corn caused a decline of c. After the selling
subsided a firmer feeling developed and prices
advanced c and the market closed steady
at about ortude flgures.
Mess 1-ork Trading was only moderate.
Prices ruled 710c lower, and the market
closed rather firm at about outside figures.
Lard Onl j a moderate business was trans
acted. At the opening the feeling was rather
firm, but after a few orders were provided for
at outside figures prices receded 25c, and
closed rather firm at medium figures.
Short Ribs Some interest was manifested in
the market. A few orders were on the market
early, and some transactions were made at
slichtly improved prices. Later, prices receded
2K5c Near tbo close prices rallied to
medium figures and closed steady.
