THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 11.' 1890. 11 IRON TRADE REVIEW. There Has Been a Slight Improve ment in the Local Demand, BUT KO CHANGE IX HUCES TET. The Strnctnral Supply Hardly Equal to the Jfeeds of Bajers. EEPOKTS FOM THE LEADING CEKTEKS The iron and steel situation is practically as it was a week ago. Mill iron and Besse mer are in fair demand, but prices are the same as they were. There has been some im provement in demand, and the amount of raw irons placed this week has been larger than fr a few weeks past. The stock in the bands of manufacturers of finished products is light, and the time for replenishing cannot be much longer delayed. There is a strong undertone of confidence in the future of mar kets, and lowest prices for the season have evi dently been touched. Nails are in good de mand at old prices. Muck bar is strong, and outside quotations have been obtained the past week. The demand for structural iron is fully up to suuply. and prices are fully maintained. Steel rans are nominally the same as they were a week ago, but the cash customer would no doubt be able to place a large older at a shade below our quotations. The Edgar Thomson works are turning out id round numbers 1,300 tons of rails daiU. anil there is n doubt that the entire output Tor the jear lS90will find ready buyers at prices which will be satisfac torv to the proprietor. While there is little, if an v. prnhi to lirodnccrs or raw iron, many manulaclurers ot finished product are as busy as. bees and in a very short time there must come an upward movement of the raw ma terial.

At the close, however, there are some heavy inquiries in the held. These may be closed now, or closed latter, according to circum stances. Raw materials of all kinds continue extremely low. Ihia is thought to be due, in part, to the process of liquidation that has been going on among outside holders ever since the close money market began to be felt. Within the pat week the largest transactions reported are of this rature. Speculators are selling back to regular buyers, iron which they have tarried for many months, and which now they arc required to take, limits of deliveries hav ing expired. The furnaces cveiywbere have lieavj orders ahead, indeed, most of the im portant prodncers have booked all they can de liver during the present ye'r. The hcavj rate of consumption continues in all lines. One important and troublesome feature, both Nortn and South, is the car famine. Consumers who have depended upon regular weekly or monthly supplies of iron for neccsjtrj consumption, aie oiten placed in a tad predicament through inability of lumaccs to obtain cars. There eems to be no remedy, a-- the car supply is totally inadequate to the terice required. Tho only sure precaution is apparently to order material several weeks in advance of actual needs.

THE JIAKKKT BASKET. j Dealers Report a Big Demand for Produce- Butter and Eggs a Utile Higher Vegetables at Very Reasonable Prices The Quotations. In the line of market basket filling the week past has been a very pleasant one to retail deal ers. The Influx of foreicn visitors, who repre sent The Iron and steel interests, together with the visitors from surrounding towns, hare mado heavy demands on all garden and ocean prod ucts, and, as a result, the week has been one of the best of the year for Tenders of vegetxoles, fruits and fish. Said a Diamond Market dealer n fruits and vegetables: The week rast has been one of the best or the season. The hotels haTe fully doubled their late averagedemand." Prices of garden stuff have not materially changed in the past week. In a jobbing way creamery butter and fresh eggs are a shade higher, but retail prices are essentially the same as a week ago. Garden stuff has been on the decline for a few days past, owing to favorable weather. Tomatoes, turnips radishes and cabbage are seldom as low in price at this season of the year as they are now. There have been no killing frosts so tar. and late rain have very much Improved garden stuff in this vicinity. so that prices have been drilling downward. In the line of lake and ocean pi oducts demand is active, and in some lines It Is all that dealers can do to meet orders. White fish are seal ce and firm. Choice oysters are in limited supply, and demand Is good for all offered. Florists are happy over the fact that people are marrying and giving in marriace. The week past has been prolific in weddings and next w eek promises to be still better. Outdoor flowers have not yet been visited with killing frots. Late mild weather, with timely show ers, have been favorable to dahlias, salvias and wild asters. This season has been exceptional in the delay of killing frosts. Very often the outdoor flowers are killed by the 20th of Sep tember. The spring of 1890 was late, and the fall is making up lor the loss by the luxuriance of its flowers.

Pittsburg Capitalists Taking More Interest in ilonse-Bniidin?. GOOD RESULTS MAY SOON FOLLOW. One of tbe English Visitors Falls In Love With tbe East End Suburbs. THE KEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI Time was, and that not very-long ago, when Pittsburg capitalists thought it be neath their dignity to engage in house-building. They preferred to invest in something more fashionable and with a more melliflu ous same shares bonds, mortgages and what not, sometimes to their sorrow, for these were not always what their fancy had painted them. As a profitable and secure investment house-building holds first place, and it is gratifying to know that local capitalists are beginning to appreciate this fact. One of them is talking of putting up 100 bouses in the Fourteenth ward. Another may do as much in the Nineteenth. Several other pro jects in the same line, and of eqral magnitude, in otner parts of the city, are in contempla tion. There is no other city in the country where small and medium-sized houses, renting for from $20 to $25, are in such urgent demand. This is all thamore remarkable when it is con sidered that an indefinite number of such houses could be promptly rented to good tenants and that they net 8 to 10 per cent on tbe money. As a clincher to the foregoing, a gentleman who occupies a responsible position in the City Assessor's office, said yesterday that there was not a house or a room to rent in the Twenty-third ward. He added, that if any en terprising capitalist would undertake the erec tion or 100 bouses in that ward he could rent them before the foundations were laid. An Englishman Charmed. One of the English visitors, who is acquaint ed with Mr. Hill Burgwin. visited that gentle man at his residence at Hazel wood yesterday. Mr. Burgwin, during the afternoon, showed his friend through some of the Autlyiug dis tricts, and afterward took him to tho charming country seat of Mr. Ira M. Burchfleld, which occupies a position commandite a good view of the Monongahela valley and river as far up as Port Perry and as far down a Homestead, and also Wilkinsburg and Swissvale. The vis itor said the view was the finest he had bad in this country, and equal to anythinc in Europe. He was greatly impressed with the possibili ties of tbe entiro region, and thought, from its manifest advantages, that it would not be long before i: would be full of homes and manu factoriesin all of which Pittsburgers entirely agree. Ituslness and News Gossip. People who have located along the line of the Valley Railroad are clamoring for more trains. As it is, the service is very unsatisfactory. Several extensive building schemes are being talked up for the lower part of Allegheny as soon as California avenue is opened and the electric cars started. There were 40 mortgages on file yesterday, of which 11 were for purchase money. The larg est was for $22,000. Fifteen were for less than SI. 000 each. Penn avenue and Wood street, Wilkinsburg, are being paved' with brick. A Fayette county farm was put on the mar ket yesterday at $50 an acre. Country people seek the city when it is prosperous and go back when tbe bottom falls out. This accounts for the present low prices for farm lands around Pittsburg. Pittsburg banks hold $841,351 in excess of the 25 per cent required by law. This is a very good working margin. Dividends declared: Hharpsburg and Law renceville Bridce Company, $1 50 per share; Chartiers Valley Gas Company, 1 per cent. London was steady yesterday and inclined to buy. The feverish feeling of the previous day was succeeded by one of confidence. The Treasury announces that until further notice 4 per cent bonds will be redeemed with interest to maturity on presentation at the Ireasury Department at Washington. All who are interested in real estate should read the advertisement announcing the public sale of the Knbn property on Diamona street. It is valuablo and must be sold, which 'means a bargain for somebody. New Buildings.

Everything on Its Feet Again Miners Are the Leaders. At tbe stock board yesterday nothing was done at the early calls. In tbe afternoon there was a little spurt tn La Noria, which advanced to 20 cents, with sales of 00 shares. No one seemed to know just what caused tbe move ment. A 10 per cent assessment was called a short time ago, which was bearish it anything. Perhaps an insider got a tip, or It may have oeen a case of the weak selling and the strong buying. Among other strong features were Luster and Electric, both of which improved their standing. Electric closing at 2 against 29 the previous day. Philadelphia Gas held its own. In fact, there was improvement In feeling. If not In figures, all along the line. No weak snots were developed. Total sales were 6S3 share. FIRST CXLL. B A SECOND CALL. B A THIRD CALL. B A P. 1.

HOME HONEY. The Market Easy Witli a Moderate Demand Currency Rather Short. The local money market was quiet and easy yesterday, with all loans on the basis of 67 per cent, reenlar customers and gilt-edced collat eral getting the inside figure. Tbe demand was moderate. There was a fair inquiry for exchange at some of tbe banks, indicating a shortage in currenry. Clearings were $2,385, 409 15, against $2,116,429 20 for the same day last year. The balances were $245,502 36. San Francisco succeeded in laying Pittsburg out last week. This, as explained by a West ern financier yesterday, was due to heavy checking by importers to beat tho tariff law, and not to an expansion of reenlar business. Pittsburg needs no such factitious aids. Tho following figures, compiled by Robert J. atonev. Jr., show the changes in the condition of the Pittsburg national banks October 2, 1890, as compared with statements made in response tn the previous call, July 18: Reserve, increase, $358,807: loans, decrease, $235,565: specie, de crease. $107,813; legal tenders, increase. $220,003: deposits, decrease, 1 569,92): circulation, deciea-e, 59,740.

The oil market was a little steadier on its pins yesterday, and trading was the best of the week. A bid of 81 without takers showed that oil was either scarce or that holders were exnecting something better. The longs drew comfort from tbe pipe line report for September, which showed a gross re duction of 334,000 barrels and a net reduction of 2,541. On the other band, the shorts said they expected a much larger decrease, and took the statement very philosophically. Tbe opeuing and highest was 8H, lowest and clos ing 81. with 81 bid. Thursday's clearings were 12,u00 barrels. Features of Testerday's Oil Market. Corrected daily by John M.

NEW YORK STOCKS. less Activity In the Street Much More Steadiness Railroad Bonds Beach Moderate Sales A Slight Attack on Erie. New York, October 10. The stock market to-day was somewhat less active than yester day, wblcb was almost entirely due to the ab sence of the pressure of short sales which has beeu the great feature of the dealings of late, aud, in consequence, thero was much more steadiness, helped by the excellent buying of investment houses. The evidences were stronger even than yesterday that in siders in a number of stocks have placed themselves under the- marker. The Gould party bought Missouri, Western Union. Man hattan and the Texas Pacific securities. There Is a feeling in Wall street, to uhlch the Erie difficulty gives point, that the railroads will not have much more adverse legislation to contend with because many of the roads have already reached a point which it would benecessarv. should lower rates be enforced, to make a re duction In the pav of their men. . The market opened this morning at advances extending to 1 per cent, with arbitrage brokers and buyers; further slight gains were scored In tbe early trading; but the room was not particu larly bullish, and the traders began to take profits on the rise of yesterday afternoon and this morning, and when' the first demand uas satisfied prices under tins selling shaded off again on most of the list, with Missouri Pacific Atchison and tbe Trusts leading. Tbe bears claimed that the rise was only a spurt, and that selling would begin for further liquidation immediately, but thero was no sign that the selling to-day was anything bnt professional. There was an attack On Erie, but it never reached serious proportions, and while the stocks is one ot the few showing slight figures at the closing, fluctuations were not specially important. Ihe selling of tho traders slacked away after 12 o'clock and the usual dullness, with a rising tendency to prices, followed. In the last honr Lackawanna led an upward move ment, and it reached higher prices later, the bujing by insiders being most marked. Several other specialties responded with material ad vances, but the general list Slowly depreciated to tho close, which was fairly active and. firm and the best prices of the dav. Tho reports of earnings for tho week in October arc In, and many show marked gaius. Wheeling and Lako Erie showing a gain of 21 per cent, Toledo and Ohio Central, 24; Milwaukee, lake Shore and Western, 1 and St. Paul, 7. The final changes are almost all la the direction of higher prices, and Lackawanna rose 2J; Big Four. . and Chlcairo Gas, Rock Island and Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred, each 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were moderately active, the sales of all issues reaching 51,391,000, out of which Texas and Pacific 2ds contributed $192,000 and tbe Atchison incomes $163,000. Tbe market was quite heavy in tbe forenoon, but later in tbe day felt the stimulus of the new buying, and in many of the active issues there was a material Improvement from that time to tbe cloie, and the number of marked gains are more than usual of late. The Atchison 4s rose 2 to 83 and the Incomes 2 to 57; Northern Pacific 6s. 2H to 87U; Norfolk and Western 100-year 5s. 2 to BH; Reautng Ists 3K to 6 and tbe 2ds 3U to 45K; Wisconsin Central incomes, 3 to 46f Government bonds have been dull but firm for the 4s. State bonds have been entirely neg lected. Tbe Post says: Erie was one of the few stocks that n ere at any time in the forenoon lower than they were at tbe close yesterday. The selling was mainly shorts, and was in con sequence of the company's refusal to grant tbe demands of the employes, which. It is argued, will bring on another strike like that on tbe New York Central. So far as the $77,000,000 common stock of the Erie is concerned it has no prospects of di7idendsranyhow, and has no value except for voting purposes. The figures at which it has been held for the last year are merelv fictitious and arbitrary, land, if once established at a lower level, would probably stay there without havingany influence upon the movement of prices in the general stock market. President Kinc states that the wages paid by Erie are generally in excess of those paid on the principal competing and adjacent lines. Furthermore, to grant tbe rates and allowances asked would increase the pay rolls of tbe Erie system to tho amount of $1,034,000 per-annum. It would also entail an advance lu the wages of employes not connected with train service. The increase of $1,031,000 would be greater than the average earnings of tbe company in excess of fixed charges for the last five years; hence the company could not grant tbe increase and maintain the property.

The railroad yards are crowded with potatoes that are not worth tbe handling. A Libertystrectcommission merchant reported to-day that 1,200 bushels were consigned to him from New York State which were only fit for the garbage pile, as dry rot was doing its work most effectually. The shipper would be con tent to get his freight bills out of the stock. Chestnuts are in abundant supply and prices have found a lower level, as quotations below will disclose.

Complete Change of Tactics in the Grain Pit Business Lively and Higher Prices Established Improve-, ment Due to Good Ex port Baying. CHICAGO Wheat Tradinc was spasmodic to-day, and in tbe aggregate a large business was transacted. Outside orders were numer ous, and local traders were also drawn in to tbe market by tbe wide and rapid fluctuation'. The feeling developed wax stronger, and the market again showed the uncertainties attend ing speculative ventures. Yesterday the feel ing was bearish and a further decline seemed to be certain, while to-day the market presented an entirely different aspect. Prices were higher and the advance was quite sharp. The opening was to: higher than yester day's clniinc receded a trill- and then ad vanced 1K1C or to a point l2c over the closing figures of yesterday, eased off some, ruled irregular and closed abont llc higher than yesterday. The .advance was partially due to a change in sentiment, many operators figuring on a reaction from the de cline qf yesterday from tho influence brought on the market, such as good export clearances and export buying. The Government crop re pot tn as expected to be bullish, and this in duced buying on long account. Corn A moderate business was transacted, not a great deal of activity being manifested, the market being more on the waiting order than anything else. There was not much offered, while a very good demand prevailed, and owing to the limited offering a material advance was established. The Government crop report was the all-absorbing topic in tbe market, aud tbe impression seemed to be that it would be less favorable than one month ago. and local operators took on small lines in con sequence. First trades were at iiia ad vance, after which the market declined some, rallied quickly and sold np 101Jc, Influenced some by wheat, eased off slightly, ruled firm and closed with a lc gain. Oats There was j. Letter trade in this mar ket, with a higher range of prices. Tbe strength was attributed to the advance in wheat and corn. May advanced c. but was sold quite freely on the appreciation, and prices vielded J4c but became firmer and ad vanced Kc and closed at outside figures. The near deliveries were stronger with light trad ing, but advanced I4c Mess Pork Rather more was doing. Open ing sales were made at about the closing figures of ThursdjV: nrices rallied 1215c, settled back again 57c and closed quiet. Lard A little morn life was exhibited. Prices advanced 25c early, but receded again and closed quiet at medium figures. Short Rib Sidei Trading was fairlv active; prices advanced 205c, but settled back again to medium figures and closed firm.

Resdlt In S Weeks He is at Work aoain, and is Eventually Restored to Perfect Health. Mr. Thomas Kemp, Millvule Jioi ough. "When I called at Dr. Byers' office," says Mr. Kemp, "It was my last hope, as I had tnea so many doctors with no avail and my sickness and enforced idleness bad consumed all my mony. I borrowed $5 from a friend, as I hadn't a cent to my name. The trouble seemed all in my stomach. As soon as I ate anything I became sick and threw it right np. My stom ach wonld swell up like a drum and I would rift np wind constantly. There was always a dull, heavy feeling in my head and I would get frequent dizzv spoils. I also had severe pains in tbe small of my back. 1 lost 25 or 30 pounds and got so weak 1 had to give up my work, which is that nf an engineer on tbe railroad. "When Dr. Byers examined me he said my trouble was catarrh of the stomach, an exten sion downwaril of catarrh of the nose and throat, and although he could give me but lit tle encouragement, he would do the best he could for me. I put myselt under his treatment and In three weeks lie had me at work again. At the end of this time he told me that be hesi tated quite awhile whether or not to take my cae. as 1 looked so back and he bated to take the money I had borrowed without being posi tive he could cure me; but 1 assure you it was the best $j investment I ever made, as I am well, happy and strong again, and able to stand up to my work all day."

The dizzy spells do mit come half so often as they did. I am very much pleased to find so mnca relief in so short a time." Scott Haven, Pa.: "Pleae send me soma more powders.
