THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 27, 1890. 11 IRON TEADE REVIEW. Transactions Are Light, but There is a Little Shading of Prices. A CHAKGE NOW MUST BE UPWARD The Market for the Manufactured Product Continues Strong. fiEPOETS FROM THE LEADING CENTERS The iron and steel markets are practically the same as they were a week ago. Trans actions have been light, but only those fur nacemen whose necessity compels them to do so, are ready to make concessions. One of our leading iron brokers thus puts the situation: "Standard brands of mill iron are still selling at $15 25. I sold to one party within a few days 1,000 tons at this figure and was ready to duplicate his order at the same price. Southern mill irons and other outside brands baTe been selling this week as low as $15, but I have sold none as low as that." Bessemer iron is qniet, but there is strong undertone of confidence in the future of markets. Prices are down to bed-rock and any future changes must be toward a higher level. The furnaceman's profit is almost wiped out unless he is very favorably located. Said one ot our leading iron brokers: "Chances are that the average producer of raw iron is losing money at present prices. The ad vance in cote and ore the past year has sent the native cost of iron up from $2 50 to S3 per ton above the cost of a year ago. The lowest point which mill iron reached last year was a shade below $14. The same grade brings $15 25 to-dav, and, in view of the additional cost of $2 50 per ton in raw materials, it is plain that (he furnaceman is not in as good a position as he was a year ago. .Future changes must inevitably be upward or furnacemen will De lorcea to re tire'i'rom the field: The market for manufactured iron con tinues strong, with prices unchanged. Blooms and billets are weaker, and our quotations are reduced in accordance with the facts. Wire rods are weak and lower, as quotations will disclose. Structural iron has lost somewhat of its strength the past week, but prices are unchanged. Steel rails are in fair demand with prices the same as at last report. Xsils are active at last week's prices.

Thegencral outlook for pig iron is one of increased activity The sales have been larger than usual, sellers obtaining about quoted prices for their stock. The Southern is occupy ing but a very little place in the market, owing to the lisht offering. There is a very irood demand for standard goods. The effect rl the tariff bills passing is believed will be to send prices up probably after a short time. Grav forge is quoted at S1515 50 delivered: No. 2 foundry. $16 5017 00 and J175018 00 for No 1. Prices for Bessemer pig are nominal at JlboOQlB 00 at the furnace, owing to the light demand, there being very few sales. Muck bars remain unchanged, there being verv few sellers. The Drice is held for them at $30 00 30 50 at the mill, but buyers do not desire to give over S29 50g30 00. The market lor liar iron is much firmer. There has been an an advance to 2c at the store, SI SO is quoted at near-by nulls and SI S5l 90 at citv mills. The mills generally are full of orders, owing to the enormous consumption that is in prog. res. There has been a decrease in the produc tion during the summer months so great that it v ill be felt until the close of the year. Skelps are quoted at 52 (K'2 05 delivered for grooved and sheared, SI 152 25 according to quality and quantity. The demand for plates continues to be very large. The mills are working hard, running full. Prices continue to be firm at the following fignres: Ship plates. 2.252.30c: tank. 2.25ff2.30c: bridge plate, 2.302.40e: shell. 2 452.55c: flange, 1103.20c, and fire box, 3.75c Structural iron mills are busv and Drices are firm The market has never been in a better condition.

THE H0NETABY STEEJGENCY la Reported to Have Affected the Market In fcp-t. tPrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Cincin-xati. September 26. Rogers, Brown A Co. say: The stringency in money has exer cised its influence on the market in spots since our last report. Some lots of iron have been pressed for sale for immediate delivery, and cash and prices realized were about 25 cents per ton under the understood minimum of the market. Aside from this, furnaces have held firmly, and at tho close of the week large trans actions took place at regular prices. The largest Southern firm has sold this month more than twice the product ot its furnace and report that they will have all they can do be tween now and Christmas to fill their orders. htocks of Iron are smaller and ores and coke scarce and dearer in the South. In the Ma honing Valley a good deal of iron Is being car ried because its high cost will not admit of sell ing on the present market. An attempt is being made to get a reduction on Connellnville coke, but so far without success. All the roll ing mills and foundries continue as busy as ever and see no sign ahead as yet of slacken ing in demand. QUIET AT ST. LOUIS, Tboucli There is a Fair Ron of Small and itlcdlum Order. rfrECIAL TKLEPBAK TO THE DISPATCH. 1 ST. Locis, September 25. Rogers, Brown A. Meacham say: Our market has been quiet during the past weec, with a certain amount of mqi irj ana a fair run of small and medium oruers. Prices are somewhat steadier in keep ing with the views of Southern furnaces, and (onsumpuon continues to be enormous In all branches and in some lines manufacturers are refusing new business. The short car supply is seriously affecting both shipments of coke and iron from Pennsylvania and the South. V quote for cash for St. Louis: Hot blast coke and charcoal.

Rogers, Brown 4 Merwin say: The heavy consumption of iron, which has been the prominent feature of this market for a number of weeks back, still con tinues, many concerns being obliged to decline further business on account of Inability to com plete within periods specified. The amount of iron now being melted is heavier than at any previous time, and indications all point to a continuance of activity in this direction. Lake Superior charcoals and Northern coke irons continue inactive, and few sales or any moment are being made. Southern coke irons are relatively weaker than other classes, but there is a strong disposition on the part of certain fnrnaces which have been cutting prices to now withdraw from the market for anything in the av of earlv deliveries, as heavy orders booked will take their product for several months. Indications now point to considerable buying in this region during the next two or three months. We quote for cash f. o. b. Chicago same as last week. FEATURES IN THE SOUTH, Cnnsnnllr Hoot? Shipments oj Pis Iron Jmt Now to Western SInrkets. rSTXCIAI. TELEGRAM TO TIT DIRPATPTt.t Biemin'OHAm, Ala., September 28. The feature of the Iron business in this district just now is heavy shipments of Die to Western markets. Coal and cotton transportation will soon require all the rolllmr stock of the rail roads and the iron men have been invoicing their stock while tbeyconld get cars. Furnace men had a good many orders on hand for Sep tember delivery and for a week the bulk of the freight out of this city has been pig iron. A number of large shipments have been made to Louisville. Cincinnati, St. Louis and other Western markets. AH the largo orders on band for immediate delivery will have been filled by October I, when the rush of cotton and coal will require all available cars. In prices there has been no change, but the condition of business is very satisfactory. Con sumers are buying freely for their Immediate needs, and enough orders are coming to keep all the furnaces going and to prevent any large accumulation of stock. Leading iron men say they do not anticipate much advance in price soon, but they are confident of continued good traue. ine volume ot ousmessin mis district Is folly 25 per cent greater than at this time last year. TheDc Bardeleben Company are now push ing the repair work on their two Oxmoor fur naces and will have them in blast again by October 15 or sooner. All six of this company's furnaces will then be in blast. THE MABKET BASKET. Frnlts and Yreofblrn Cnclinnced In Price Crenmerr Batter Advanced The Demand Excellent Oleo Ser ine Well Stnp'e- Fruits and vegetables are the same in price as they were a week ago. Cool weather has retarded the growth of tomatoes, ana prices are a shade firmer. In fruit lines grapes have the lead, and prices are at the lowest for the season. Concords are selling at 30c per 10-a basket in a wholesale way. Choice grades of creamery butter are ad vanced, and fancy country rolls are in good demand at the highest price of the season. The upward movement of butter has brought large quantities of so-called butter, or oleo, to the front. Anything in the line of butter that sells below 30c per pound inav be put down either as below par or as an imitation of genu ine dairy product. Florists report an improved volume ot trade this week over last, with no material change in prices. There seems to be a boom in wed ding lines the past week or two, with a rood outlook in the same line for the immediate future, and florists are almost as happy as brides and grooms. Staple meats rarely change, no matter what the fluctuations of live stock may be. Our roasts and tenderloins are the same as two years ago, when beeves were 2g3c per pound higher than present rates. Supply of ocean products is still short of de mand. The oyster season i now fully on, and dealers have all tbey can do to fill orders for choice stock. Fellow ing are latest prices of market basket materials as reported by leading retail dealers: Staple Meats.

THEY CALL IT A HEALTHY GROWTH The Great Business of the Country Demands a Stible Financial System. THE KEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI The following letter, dated ifew York, September 24, was received yesterday by Messrs. Black & Saird from Mr. A. W. Adair, formerly a salesman in their employ, and well known tn the business men of Pittsburg: "We have settled in ew York after a splendid trip of four weeks through the great "West, by way of diversion, Yellow stone Park and the Yoseruite Valley, either of which is worth a trip across the continent to see. Property is tremendously high in Denver, Salt Lake City, Helena and the whole country round, bnt especially in Tacotua and Seattle. With my knowledge of values, I was rather astonished at the prices of improved and unimproved property in rities with populations of less than one-fifth of that of Pittsburg. In Tacoma we met a man who less than ten years ago gave il.500 for a lot in that city which he now values at $125,000. The buildings are worth about 825,000. "They call this a gradual, steady and healthy growth, and feel insulted if one says anything about a boom. Sontbern California really did have a boom in 1837. and, as the bottom has dropped out, the people have to acknowledge it, but that is the only place where it was acknowledged." Bet Financier at Sen. In this busy country it is nobody's special province to look after business at large. Each individual. Arm and corporation looks after its own concerns, and in the general effort and struggle every thing comes out right. We have State Legislatures to pass State laws, and National Legislature to look after national in terests; we have associations and organizations of one kind or another, protecting this, that and the o'her interest; but, as a people with similar business interests, we have no organiza tion, no combination, no concert of action. Yet our success and prosperity are intimately connected with certain fundamental condi tions. It seems to be no one's business to de termine what the volume of circulating me dium of this country shall be; further than that. It seems to bo no one's business to de termine whether or not we shall have any specific financial policy. The debates upon the silver question in Congress demonstrated that our best men are all at sea; that opinions are as diverse as individualities; that theories are entertained where experience and practice alone should dictate. It is necessary that certain broad principles should be enunciated and established. It is as necessary to snecessful business management tbat the country be provided with a sufficient supply of good money, as it is necessary that there ehall be a sufficient rainfall. The weak spot in our financial and industrial system is, that the working bees of the nation do not un derstand this truth. The sources ot money supply seem so remote from them and so mys terious that tbey leave the whole question to others. The result is a multitude of opposing ideas and so settled policy. Fixity is the one thing needed in our financial system. This would render panics practically impossible. Baalneu News and Uoaslp. The death of Henry A. Weaver yesterday afternoon was the occasion for many express ions of regret on Fourth avenue. Tennyson's characterization of Lord Wellington applies with equal force to Mr. Weaver: "He stood four square to every wind tbat blew." It Is to be hoped that the block of 40 houses soon to be begun on herron Hill is the first of many others as large or larger There is not a city in the United States that needs houses as badly as Pittsburg. A member of the San Carlos Silver Mining Company said yesterday that work was progress ing favorably. Surveys are being made for a railroad through the property. Half of the stock of this company is held in Pittsburg. Local stocks ire being quietly absorbed by far-seeing investors in anticipation of large profits. Street railways, natural gassers and electric are the favorites. Thirty-five mortgages were received by tho Recorder yesterday, or which six were for pur chase money. The largest was for 810,000. The number recorded this year to date approximates 8.000. Many persons hear testimony to the fact that there are fewer empty houses in Pittsburg than at any previous time in her history. Home capital could not be better employed than in add ing to the supply. The fact that many houses are sold long before completion shows they are active stock. Mr. C. B. Coleman, of Blairsvllle, stopped over in Pittsburg yesterday on his way home from Seattle. He reports that place fairly booming. He Was so impressed with the possi bilities of real estate there that be invested in several corner lots. The Treasury shipments of currency and gold to New Orleans from September 1 to No vember SO, 18S9, aggregated 9.000,000. From August 30 to date of the present year the ship ments have been 81.075.000. The inability of the Treasury to supply small notes has had a tendency to retard shipments both South and West.

Loans were freely made on good collateral on the basis of 67 per cent accord ing to length of time. After next week a freer movement of f unds may be looked for as a result of quarterly dls buisements and the removal of tho Controller's wet blanket in the shape of bank statements. Exchanges were 82,421,784 22, and balances 8403.809 91. Visitors to the Exposition and other strangers have scattered enough small notes through the city to keep the supply almost up to the de mand. The Controller of the Currency In his forth coming report will recommend the passage of an act authorizing tho issue of bank circulation up to the par value of the bonds deposited to secure tne same. Money on call at New York yestornav was easy, ranging from 3 to 4 per cent; last loan, 3X; closed offerpd at 3. Prime mercantile paper, 607.

Quiet to Dull for the General LUt Rather Mixed FcelliiK Stroui Undertone Encouraging News of the Dor Few Stocks Weak. NewYoek, September 26. The stock mar ket to-day was, as usual of late, quiet to dull for the general list, but active and weak for the few stocks in which the bears are making special efforts with a hope of starting liquida tion In the rest of the list. The feeling to-day was rather mixed, and it Is undeniable that some of the weak-kneed bulls lost courage from the roadlness with which such stocks as Atchison, Union Pacific and some others have yielded to pressure. The general list, how ever, while dull, displays' the same old firmness and even advancing tendency when let alone, and responds very slowly to the special attacks upon certain stocks. The undertone is undoubtedly strong, and prices show a disposition to seek a higher level whenever the bear pressnreMs removed. The news of the day was rather of an encour aging nature, the signing of the Colorado Mid land deal, and the practical completion of tbe tariff bill being most influential factors. The opening was lower all around, with sugar down 1M Per cent, and while that stock was advanced 2 per cent, alter a fractional further decline it failed to reach its last night's price at any time during tbe day, and also failed to hold its re covery, and closed with a material loss for the day. The general list was pressed or sale in tbe forenoon, with Atchison and Louisville lead ing, but the losses wore generally for small fractions up and later in tbe day there was not only pressure of any account but considera ble buying for tbe short account and for a ral ly. Pacific Mail is tbe weakest point, dropping . but, while it recovered partially, later went back to the lowest point again. The market finally closed dull and steady to firm, generally at about tbe level of the open ing prices, and final changes, therefore, are generally for slight losses. Pacific Mail is down lfi Sugar Refineries and Louisville and Nashville, each 1, and Union Pacific 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were again dull, and through out the day sympathized closely with tbe tone of the share list, a heavy feeling prevailing roost of the time. The sales amounted to 859, 000, and the Atchison Issues were again promi nent in the trading, the incomes furnishing 8135,000 to tbe total, aud while they were weak neither issue scored a fractional loss. The changes in the rest of the list were on tbe usual small scale. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull, barely steady. Tbe J'ost says: "The advance in the rate of discount to-day by the Imperial Bank of Ger many is understood to be mainly a precaution ary measure to prevent gold going from this to London. There is. however, no doubt tbat money is still light all over the Conti nent; it has been so for the last four months, but is not so much so now as a few months ago. The Immediate cause of the advance in the Bank of England rate of discount yester day was the movement of gold to Lisbon, and so far as tbe general financial prospect is con cerned it is somewhat reassuring to know tbat tbe movement ot gold to Lisbon is due to a political rather than a commercial cause. This leaves room for the presumption that there has been no inflation of commercial credits and no intervalue of real estate.

Tbe 81 00 mark for Decem ber was again passed on tbe down turn, and tbe feeling was rather weak again. Tbe open ing was about the same as yesterday's closing and prices were advanced 3c, influenced by good local buying. Bnt later a raft of selling orders came on the market from different out side sources, nnder which prices broke off lic, bnt recovered Kc under good buying by a local trader, the maraet closing c lower than yesterday, rne selling was reported to oo largely on account of Northwestern and East ern parties. Com was only moderately active, the market railing very quiet, at times fluctuations being limited to a c range. There was nothing new to tbe situation and operations were mainly local. Tbe feeling developed was easier, first transactions being at a slight advance, and under fair purcbaes sold up Kc became weaker, selling off K0"sr, rallied and closed with He gain. Oats There was only a moderate business in May, within Jc range. The near deliveries were neglected. An easier feeling prevailed, but tbe declines were unimportant.
