:ip THEf PITTSBURG' DISPATCH, FRIDAY; OCTOBER" 3, 1690; SO SIGN OF A BREAK In Either Direction in the American Viz Iron Market. POPULAR MAKES WELL SOLD UP. With One Exception Transactions in Steel Kails are Trifling. THE SITUATION aCKOSS THE OCEAN rsrECIAL TZLXGRAM TO TBI DtltVATCn.1 New York, October 2. The Iron Age quotes the American metal markets as fol lows: American Pig The general situation is practically the same as outlined last week. Consumers do not appear to be buying with greater lreedom, at all events, nor are there any signs ot increased pressure to sell, and, apart from iron that cuts an unimpor tant figure in this market, there are no signs oi anything bordering upon weakness. There Is an accumulation of about 7,000 tons of two 1'ennsylTania brands, for which prices on tho basis oI517 50 for No. 1 at tidewater would doubtless be accepted, and some Southern iron ot doubtful quality is also offered at what w ould appear to be rather low figures. Popular makes are well sold up, however, and prices for the same remain very steady. Low grade foundry ana mill irons are barely steady. We continue to quote 117 S0Q1S for No. 1, and S16Q 30 50 for No. 2 foundry, good Northern brands, while Southern irons are selling at $1701725 for Sn. 1. $ltgl6 23 for No. 2 and $11 7515 25 for No. 3. Southern car wheel iron is quoted $20 21 for Nos. 3, 4 and 5, and $19 5020 for Nos. 1 and 2, delivered. Spiegelcisen and ferro manganese There has been no buslifcss of sufficient volume to fairly test the market nor any signs of change in the position of buyers and sellers. Twenty per cent spicgel is nominally $30 50031 50, as to brand; SO per cent Terro is said to have been sold recently at SG9, laid down in Baltimore, but S7072 is quoted at present. Billets Quotations of as low as S2DJJ29 50 at Western Pennsylvania mills have been made, and corresponding figures made further 6ast, without importaut business. Nothing was re ported in the way of movement of "foreign bil lets, prices for which arc relatively higher than rhoe current for domestic Wire Rid Domestic aie said to have been sold at $42 at mill, and $43 is considered full value. Foieign cost about i2 more to Import, and as a matter of course find very limited sales. structural iron and steel There isstilla very fair amount of business nnder way. Mills are w ell employed and prices remain steadv at 2.25c for universal mill plates, delivered; 2.10J2.25c for angles: 2.602.7nc for tees and 3.1c fur beams. Steel rail An Eastern mill has booked an order for G.000 tons for the D. fc H. R. R.. but no particulars as to prices are divulged. Apart from this only small sales emtio to notice. Prices tor standard sections range between $30 Wg 31 00 at mill. Old tails Iron tee rails are in some demand at $25. and inquiries the past few days indicate that $25 50 on cars would be paid. Sellers stand outfor2Gasa rule, however, and verylittle business goes through. THE ENGLISH MARKET. Prices Hnvo Been Fluctuating Under n Diversity of Influence. rsrrciAi. teleoramto thje pisfatto;..

TheJron Agequota the British iron and metal markets as follows from London: Under the influence of sales to realize, caused by rumors that an early settle ment of the labor troubles is probable, to gether with aggressive action by the bear in terest, prices for Scotch warrants receded to 52s Id. Cleveland warrants dropped to 4Ss 6d in sympathy, and hematites to 59s. The rumor appears to have been without foundation, how ever, and the market is looking quite firm again. Thus far 15 furnaces have been damped, and a complete stoppage during the present month is considered probable. On Wednes day's operations Scotch warrants moved up to 53s, Cleveland to 47 6d and hematites to 59a 0&. the market closing strong. Pig tin on the spot has dropped to 101 los after selling at over 104, and futures are also rather lower since iim" settlement ot outstanding accounts and cassation of buing for American accounts. Heavy shipments from the straits hate also induced freer selling although still Insufficient for probable requirements. Copper is weaker. Prices for merchant bars hae dropped to 59 5s under the influence cMcfly ol realizations, due to dearer money. Purchases for consumption continue on a fairly larce ale. TI.e tin plate market is steadv. Makers are fully engaged, largely for American account, and offer Fparmglv. New works are building at Briton Ferry.

The Scarcity orCnrs Mill the Onlr Serious Drawback to Prosperous Trade Ship mart Hotnrwhnt Increased. rSPKCIAI. TELEOBAM TO TUX DI6PATCB.1 Scottdaie, September 2. The car famine which has been seriously disturbing the cojie trade for some weeks past remains unremedied, and a prediction is not ventured as when trade will aBsumn its natural condition. A repetition of experience is feared in the scarcity of cars, as last week the deficiency was of larger pro portion than has been previously reported. The cars furnished met about half tho demands,and the assistanco of individual cars again drew the producers from a large-sized hole. The de mand for coke is of enormous proportions, and the productive capacity of 'c-5ls amply able to meet it were even moderate means of transportation offered. Railroad companies are sud to have evinced a determination to guard against these destructive car famines, which have been too frequently visiting the c.ke region, by equipping' cars especially aa-pted for the coke service, but if they have done so it has been behind the curtains. At present, were ears at band, shipments would be 800 and 1,000 cars more in the week. Trade rests under the most auspicious con ditions for the future as far as the demand is concerned. The Iron trade, on which the suc cess of the coke trade depends, is quite active, and from persons who seem to. be thoroughly acquaintea With the surroundings it is likely to maintain its present trait. Furnaces are still in a dan gerous condition from the failures of orders to reach tbem. An official or the Hostettcr Coke Company stated last week that two of their furnace customers would be forced to suspend operations if thev did not secure cars to get the coke to tbein. Furnaees East and West have the supply in thetr stock "bouses, which were filled during the summer season, almost exhausted. The Illinois Rolling Mill Com pany is compelled 10 draw about 50 cars per day from their stock piles. Their daily consump tion is over 200 cars. Railroad officials take a hopeful survey ofithe situation. They contend that the car famine is now at Its worst, and an improvement is sure to follow, as cars will soon be coming In that were utilized in shipping grain, etc. Coke at several of the yards of the plants has been stocked to such an extent that a prompt removal only will avert a suspension. Despite all the difficulties so far experienced with transportation facilities, this is going to be a most prosperous year for the coke trade. All indications point to that end. The five day operations lor works as a, a general rule has given away to the six day rule. All the com panies are running six days save a couple inde pendent companies, who are still observing the one day per week shutdown. Nothing has been neara iurtner oi tue rumor mentioned last week in connection with a slight advance in prices. It is generally denied. The idle list of ovens is still about 1,800. Preparations ara being made to resume the LeiseneringNo. 1 plant of 500 oven, which has been out for some time. The Charlotte plant of 87 ovens hero will resume with the Charlotte furnace. Two hundred and fifty new ovens have been com pleted at Leisenering. Shipments last week averaged 1.118 cars per day. against 1,095 cars of the week before. The Increase was 270 cars. The following was the distribution: To points west of Pittsburg, 4,125 cars: to Pittsburg and river points, 1,500; t points east of Pittsburg, 1,125 cars; total, 6.810 cars.

SOME BIG THINGS ON THE STRING. Effective Protest Against a Stock Company Eefasing Information. THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI Gossipy conversation between two well known business men was overheard yester day morning. They were passengers on the TJniontown Express, and their thoughts ran upon real estate, of which they posess a goodly share. It is given for what it is worth. First Speaker I hear that Mr. "Westing house has been offered $100,000 for a tract of land adjoining the switch and signal works at Swissvale. Do you know anything about it? Second Speaker I suppose you mean the property where the bridge crosses the railroad. Wasn't it sold a short time agof I heard it was. Perhaps Mr. Westinghouse bought It on speculation. I think he had better go slow out there. If business of the signal works con tinues to grow enlargement will soon be neces sary, and considerable ground will be required for new buildings and additional railroad tracks. I think he will And use for all the ground be owns in that locality, and that the salo of any part of It would be a mistake. Bat I suppose he knows what be is dolnir. First Speaker You know something about the McKelvey farmT Well, a gentleman told me yesterday or the day before that Eastern men Philadelphlans, I think were dickering for 70 acres of it. They want to buy on the Swissvale side, and their object, as I under stand It, is to establish large brick and tile works, and also to quarry stone, of which there is a large deposit of a very good quality. The story is reasonable enough, but we hear so much nowadays that it is bard to sift the trne from the false. Such an enterprise would give Swissvale a big boost. Second Speaker John McKelvey told a friend of mine sometime ago that be had had an offer for part of his place. First Speaker It is stated that tho sale of the Splane corner is "off." This is not singu lar, since it never was "on." In my opinion it will ne picked np before long by a prominent banker. I know he wants it, and is willing to pay a big price for it. Second speaker Then yon think the Penn sylvania Railroad .is shut out. First speaker Yes, so far as the corner is concerned, where inside rumor has it that a fine bank building is to be erected. It is hinted that the railroad will occupy the rest of the block and build to front on Fifth avenue. Stock and Grain Gossip. From yesterday's Wall street and Chicago correspondence of W. W. Vensel, 115 Fourth avenne, the following of interest to local in vestors is culled: The failure of the Bank of England to ad vance Its rate produced a favorable influence upon the London market, which was reflected by higher prices at onr opening hero, but shortly after the opening hour the bears be came active and sold stocks liberally on early information in reeard to the Cbicaso, Burline ton and Quincy statement, the exhibit made by this company being even worse than bad been anticipated. Reports from Boston indicate considerable disappointment there and made the feeling on the Granger stocks decidedly bearish. The result was a fractional decline for all the shares interested, which affected the general list and caused generally lower prices at the close. Money was bid up to(5 per cent by the bears as a side demonstration, and all told there was nothing particularly encourag ing from a bull point of view to-day. Notwithstanding these unfavorable Influ ences we continue hopeful and believe in the bull side. Our reports from general trade and mercantile circles are very encouraging. The cotton crop is likely to be the largest we have ever bad. We are getting higher prices for ourgraln, and even if we do not export the farming community reaps the benefit.- Legiti mate trade is active, cdUcctiont'are reported as better, and onr manufacturing interests are certain to be benefited by the tariff law. The result will be that the country will make money. At Chicago wheat closed dull and easy. The shipment of 4,880.000 bushels from India. Bal tic and other ports for the week, BradslreeCt report of an increaso of 2,353,000 bushels in tho available supply, and lower cables, caused a weaker feellne. The probability of bad weather interfering with farmers' deliveries in the Northwest caused the shorts to operate carefully, and the result was a very quiet mar ket. Corn was easier, with Hutchinson a free seller. Oats were quiet and dull. Provisions were lamer on the publication of stocks, which were larger than the public expected. News of the St-cet. The scramble for bonses next spring prom ises to be unprecedented. Tenants should hold on to tbelr places unless they have a certainty of securing others. W. A. Herron S; Sons The delay in furnish ing street improvements in the East End hurts the sale of property out there to some extent. Contractors would earn the everlasting grati tude of the people by rushing their work. The most Important of 29 mortgages on file yesterday was for $6,000. Eleven were for pur chase money. J. C. Reilly The value of real estate on Wylie avenue, between Fifth avenue and Tun nel street, has greatly increased in the past year or two, but above Tunnel street there has been no perceptible change. The drift of things is that way. however, and I think the entire avenue will soon lall into line with the progressive thoroughfares. Investors should bear in mind the Orphans' Conrt sale of valuable Diamond street prop erty on Saturday. 25th inst. An East Knder talking abont things gener ally yesterday, said Gazzam's Hill conld easily be converted into a handsome park, and is worth little for any other purpose. Being cen trally located, it could be reached by a large number of people, who will probably never find time to visit the S"benley breathing spot. The hill contains between eizbt and nine acres. The Coleman property, 15 acres, adjoining Homewood Cemetery, is being prepared for sub-division by W. A Herron & Sons, and will soon be put on the market An additional sup ply of lots Is needed in that locality. Something may bappen on the Allegheny river front one of these days which will re quire six figures to express its value. It is understood that the firm name, Henry A Weaver A Co., will be continued. Two mortgages for $40,000,000 each, given by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway, one of them to the Mercantile Trust Company and one to the Central Trust, ot New York, have just been placed on record at Nevada, Ho. They are to seenre the issue of $80,000,000 in bonus, and run 100 years at 4 per cent. The annual election ot officers and directors of the Pittsbnrg Gas Company will be held from 12 to 2 o'clock on Monday next. New Bulldlnfs.

Latter SnfTers From ibe Refusal of Man ngersto Give Inlormntlon. Luster was the center of Interest at the local stock market yesterday, when the life was pretty tborougbly knocked out of it, but whether lor good and all is doubtful, for the raid upon it was probably more a freak than for any substantial reason. Still it cannot be denied that the withholding of information by the officials has caused considerable dissatis faction among holders of the stock, and caused a suspicion that a screw was lose somewhere. Yesterday's break, therefore, was more of a protest acainst the close-mouthed methods of the management than an expression of loss of confidence in the property. Itonened en a bid of 18, with none offered. On second call 16 was bid. Still no sales. On third call it started at 17. sold at 1 17 and finally at 10J. rallying at the finish, which was 17 bid. Only 70 shares changed hands. At any timo durinctheday, it is believed, a little ju dicious buying would have turned the tide, but the friends of the stock withheld support, prob ably as a test of strength under a determined bearassanlt. At last call Central Traction was bid down to 25 Westinghouse Electric to 33 and Switch and Signal to 15. Pipeage was offered down to 15, but closed a fraction better. Pittsbnrg ami Castle Shannon Railroad came out of a long sleep on a bid Of 6, with 10i asked. Phila delphia Gas was' fractionally stronger.

Both Sides Walilnsfor Developments Benra Attack Unprotected r-pots Treasury Disbursements Likely to Enter Railroad Stocks. New York, October 2. The stock market to-day has been duller and more stagnant than on any day since before the monetary strin gency, and as far as the conrse of prices in an ticipation both sides are again waiting for de velopments with the usual accompaniment of dullness and its alternate of bear attacks upon the unprotected spots in the list. The opinion is generally expressed that we have not yet begun to feel the real effects of the heavy treasury disbursements of the past month, and when that money really seeks in vestment a large proportion of it must go into railroad stocks and bondB. Railroad stocks to day, however, were very uninteresting, there being apparently no influential interest at work that could make any impression upon prices in either direction, and while the usual dullness induced the traders to take the short side late in the day, the fluctuations were confined to the smallest tractioi.s. The Ions delayed publication of the Burling ton and Quincy earnings for the month of Au gust occurred to-day, and as expected they showed a material loss from those of last year, the decrease in the net being 5319,00a The ef fect seemed to have been pretty well dis counted and after a fractional rise, made in all probability to sell on, a fractional recession oc curred. There was considerable selling of Suear Refineries during the forenoon and a de cline of nearly 2 per cent was brought about. notwithstanding the passage of the new tariff law, but rnmors were afloat that the dividend would not be paid, as the money had been lost on suits etc The bears made the loss in earn ings on the Burlington the occasion of an at tack upon the Grangers in general and inci dentally upon the general list, but while Bur lineton lost 1 from its best price. Rock Island suffered as much, while Sugar, which had been very weak in the forenoon, showed considerable recuperative power and rose a fraction. The dealings on the whole were with out special feature of interest, and the close was very dull and heavy to weak, at about the lowest prices of the day. The final changes show a majority of losses, but they are, for tho most part, small fractions, the only important ones being Pacific Mail 1, and Sngar Vyi, while Wheelinz and Lake Erie preferred rose 1 per cent, ana with Chicago Gas, was: the only stock showing any real strength throucb the entire day. The railroad bond list was slightly more active than usual of late, but there was the usual slight changes, even among tho active issues. Only in Houston and Texas general and the Union Pacific 4's were there anv move ment of importance, both beinc weak In the extreme. The total sales reached $941,000, out of which Atchison incomes furnished $132,000 and the Texas Pacific second incomes $120000. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and steady. The J'ost says: The rates for exchange were higher again to-day, and a very little more ad vance will probably result In some exports of gold. There would be nothing unusual iu this, as a renewal of gold exports has occurred for two years past in October or November. But this year there appears to be reason for expect ing some lareer gold shipments than nsual, owing to the recent large decrease in tne me talic reserve of the Bank of England. There has been a rather nnusual withdrawal of com from the Bank of England since the middle of September for circulation in Scotland and other narts of Great Britain, but the greater fact is the withdrawals of gold for South America, which have probably been something like 1,500,000, or say from $7,000,000 to $8,000,000 in the last four weeks. These heavy with drawals of gold have caused a good deal of un easiness in London. The evidences of this un easiness were manifested in the sudden ad vance paid here for cable transfer to London on Tuesday, showing that there were appre hensions in regard to the settlement in London on October L But the fact that the Bank of England did not advance itsrate of discount to-day Is evidence that the governors of the bank do not regard the situation as being so serious as might otherwise be Inferred.

CHICAGO Wheat Rather dull was the way dealers generally expressed themselves in re gard to the condition of the market to-day. Outside orders were few. and there was only a light local business transacted. There were spurts of activity, and then the market would settle down and rule very dull. There was nothing encouraging In the way of outside news, and the market was governed mainly by the operations of local speculators. The opening was ia higher than yester day's closing. Immediately eased oil c, recov ered the decline, and then prices dropped 5c, held steady and closed at about the same as yesterday. Core was qnlet the greater part of the session and trading was confined mainly to professional operators. The feeling developed was weaker. First trades were at Jc advance, prices ruling firm lor a time, then ueclined c parties who bought yesterday selling qnhe freely, ruled steadier and closed with a slight loss. Oats were slow and easy and without special features. Trading was chiefly In May with a light business in October. There W3S no special pressure to buy or sell, and prices held within a narrow limit. Mess Pork A fairly active trade was re ported during the early part of the session. Toward the close a quiet and rather easy feel ing prevailed. Opening sales were made at 50 7c advance and a further slight improvement was gained temporarily. Later, prices receded 15017c. and the market closed steady. Lard At the opening prices were about 2c higher. Later, prices settled back 67c and closed rather quiet. Short Ribs Trading was only moderate. Early a few sales were made at slightly Im proved prices. Later, prices receded &7c and the market closed quiet.

Condemned Frails nnd Vecetables. Fruit and Vegetable Inspector Kilgore re ports that the amount of stufLcondemned to the garbage pile in June amounted to $3,284: ia July to $2,128; August. $2,777, and for the month of September only $218. It thus appears thas June weather was most damaging to the fruits and vegetables consigned to our markets, and the middle month or summer proved least damaging. Very large quantities of melon! shipped from the South entered into the con demnat'on for the month of August. Salt Selllntr Frre'r. The Pittsburg and Allegheny salt companies are now turning out salt to the amount of 500 barrels daily of the best on tho market, and flni ready sale for their entiro output. This is the busy season of the year for this Industry. Prices are the same as last year, and producers claim that there is little in the business but glory. The ordinary grades are sold at 90c per barrel In car lots, and better grades at $110. The different companies are combined, and goods are sold at unitorm rates through a cen tral office. Drveoods. New York. October 2. There was rather more snlrlt to demand for drygoods at both first and second hands, jobbers being fairly Dusy with the nearby trade, and an increased inquiry for staples being realized by agents, the movement being attributed partly to the settlement of tariff legislation, whereby an upward tendency is imparted to values.
