' IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Few IS'ew Features in the Local
Market During the Tast Week.
STRUCTURAL MATERIAL KEEDED.
General Transactions Light and Holders
Disposed te Weaken.
BEPORTS FEOM THE LEADIK6 CEKTEKS
The pic iron market has developed few
new features in the week past, but tendency
is towards lower prices. Brokers report a
light trade and charge it up to the financial
depression and downward tendency of stock
markets. Manufacturers are disposed to
pursue the hand to mouth policy in the
present uncertain condition of raw iron
markets. In the line of finished iron and
steel products, trade holds up well and man
ufacturers are still behind their orders.
Transactions for the week past have been
light as far as raw irons are concerned, and
holders were disposed to make concessions.
Markets are decidedly in buyers' favor.
Structural iron is still in good demand,
and last week's prices are well maintained.
All manufactured iron holds up well when
the condition of the raw iron market is con
sidered. Blooms and billets are a shade weaker
than they were last Saturday, but quota
tions are nominally the same.
Muck bar is still in fair demand, but
prices are scarcely as strong as they have
been lor a few weeks past. Steel nails and
rails are quoted at last weeks fibres, but
markets are slow, and the cash buyer can,
without doubt, discount our quotations.

IK SOUND CONDITION.
Large Demand for Iron in Philadelphia for
Legitimate Use.
rCrECIAL TELF-GUAM TO TUB DIRPATCn.1
Philadelphia, November 13. The flurry
in the money market is but slightly reflected in
business circles and the iron market bas not yet
suffered from tee recent depression. Although
Ibere is some hesitancy about new undertak
ings, those already under way are in a perfectly
sound condition. The present large demand
foriron is for legitimate uses, and Is in no sense
speculative. There is no accumulation of stocks
of either pig or manufactured iron, all of the
material going directly lnti the hands of con
sumers. The price for manufactured iron is
low, and unless there should be a shrink
age in the elements of cost, it is
hardly likely to go lower. Pig Iron is dull, but
prices are well maintained. The range of
prices for lots delivered m consumers' yarilsare
as follows: Standard Pennsylvania, No. 1. $18 CO
615 50; No. 2. SI" 00(217 50: medium Pennsyl
vania, No. 1, 817 50 IS 00. and No. 2 is S16 5
16 75; ordlnarv forge cinder, mixed, 14. oOj
14 75. and charcoal car wheel from 22 O02l 00.
Bessemer pig is very quiet. Prices are nomin
ally Arm. $18 00 to SIS 50 at furnace. Muck
bars are quiet and not much activity. Quota
tions range from 29 50 to $30 25. Bar iron is
steady, though not so active. All the mills
continue to have plenty of nork.
Skelps are fairly active at somewhat lower
figures. Consumers are takinrr 1.95c for Grooved
and 2.10SZ15C for sheared. .Structural iron is
quiet and steady, with prices as follows for
lots delivered in consumers' yard: Angles.
2.202.30c; sheared plates, 2.3062.40c;
and from 10c to 20c more for
steel, according to the requirements; tics, 2.7
2.8c: beams ana channels, ilc for either iron or
steel. Sheet Iron is a little easier but not quo
tably lower. Prices for carload lots of the best
makes are as follows: Best refined Nos. 14 to
20. 32.10c: Nos. 21 to 24. a20ffi3.30c; Nos. 25 to
26. 3.403.50c: So, 27, 3.503.60c. and No. 38, 3.60

AFFECTED BY "WALL BTEEET.
Price for Iron Hae Reached the Bottom
Notch at Cincinnati.
IKPZCIAI. TELEOKAM lO THE DISrATCH.t
Cincinnati, November It Rogers. Brown
fc Co. say; The market lias had the general ap
pearance at a stand-off the week past on ac
count of tne troubles in Wall street. Buyers
generally want to see how the Carry in stock
could affect general business before making
large engagements. At the same time there
have been several round orders placed for De
cember and January deliveries at ruling quota
tions. It is not. thought that prices can go
lower, for the reason that they have been at the
bottom for several w ccks past. It is felt that
any artificial pressure that mieht further re
duce values would result in wholsesale blowing
out o( furnaces and consequent early reaction
lowara oewer ngures.
Production is already decreasing, the current
rate being 250,000 tons j early less than the rate
of production in May and June. Further re
duction in output is expected both North and
South. There is no sign of any abatement of
consumption, and it is thought that a consider
able buying movement must set in bclore long.

Meachara say: The market is quiet, and the
general activity that so many predicted for the
latter part of the year has not developed. As
nearly all consumers have contracted for the
remainder of 1890, inquiries now arc for deliv
er over the tint quarter or half of 1891. and
there are enough furnaces willing to sell ahead
on the present basis to meet the limited dc
lunnd. We quote for cash f. o. b. St. Louis:

But No Special Features Have Been De

ISFECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISTATCH.!
Birmingham. Ala., November 14. The
iron market is without special features this
week. Prices are still firm but unchanged,
and manufacturers are not holding stock for
an advance
The volume of business continues good and
the railroads have all ihey can do to move the
iron as last as it is sold. No big contracts have
been reported this week, but plenty of small
orders are coming in. The demand for pig for
immediate shipment is nearly equal to the out
put ot the district, and the furnace men are
content.
The burstine of a blow-pipe at theVander
bilt Monday caused the shutting down of tnat
plant until the pipe can be repaired. Vice
President and General Manager C. A. Meisner
nas severely injured bv the explosion, losing
the sight of both ees.
Some English capitalists have been down
here investigating coal and iron properties, but
no sales have been closed. It is rumored, how
ever that the Englishmen will make large in
vestments before they leave.
SUYEBS ABE HOLDING OFF.
A Sndden Drop In Activity Marks the Situa
tion In Chicago.
rsrzciAX. TXi.xGR.a tu tux msrATCK.1
Chicago, November 14.-Rogers, Brown and
Merwin say: The week bas been marked by
considerable diminution of expected buying.
Bales during October were heavy, and until
within a few days, indications pointed to a con
tinuance of activity during November. Con-
turners, however, have formed the Idea that
they have little to gain by making further con
tracts before January 1, and. all things consid
ered, they prefer to take their chances
after that date. It is an apparent fact
that the late election returns have
exerted a somewhat depressing influence,
though it is generally conceded that there is
little in this phase of the situation to cause im
mediate apprehension. A far more conspicu
ous factor is the monetary stringency, which is
causing much trouble in financial circles. In
dications point to a quiet period during the
balance of the year, and for the most part sales
are likely to consist of small lots for nearby de
liveries. Southern coke irons in the main are Arm, with
bnt little doing, and the same remark applies
to Northern cokes and Lake Snperior char
coals. As there is little disposition on the part
of sellers to force sales and consumers occupy
a conservative position, there is little in the
situation to cause fluctuation in prices either
one way or the other. Heavy consumption is
still going forward, though there is a noticeable
let-up among architectural iron men and on
railroad work.
THE MARKET BASKET.
Scarcity of Ocean Products CUoico Cream
ery Butter Higher.
At the fruit and vegetable stalls the uniform
report was that markets were very quiet the
past week. All garden stuff is unusually slow
for the time of the year. Heavy frosts have
been lone in putting in their appearance this
season. The delay of frosts has been a fair off
set to the late spring, and the growing time has
been about its usual length. There have been
no frosts to kill ton.atocs until the past week,
whereas the average time of arrival of killing
frosts is in the latter part of October. In the
line of ocean products dealers report a great
scarcity and higher price of oysters. Choice
fish and ojstcrs are not in sufficient supply to
meet demand. There has already been an ad
vance in oysters, and another advance is looked
for at an early day. The catch of fish and
ojsters of late have been unexpectedly light.
Florists report a quiet trade for the week,
with prices unchanged. The failure of frost to
put in its appearance in the latter part of Octo
ber has proved a depressing factor in lines of
floral products.
Supply of game is scarcely up to demand and
prices aie very Arm. Staple meats move along
in the same old ruts, notwithstanding a sharp
decline in price of live stock. If butchers bad
any profit a week or two ago they ought to be
reaping big harvests now. Follow ing are latest
retail prices of market basket fillings:

BOOMING SWISSTALE.
Outline of the Host Important Move
ment Ever Undertaken There.
H0JIKS THE BEST IKTESTMEKT.
Some of the Local Stock Leaden Away Up
in the liegion of the Clouds.
THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI
Swissvale is looking up. The syndicate
represented by Mr. H. H. Negley, who re
cently purchased the Palmer homestead at
that place, consisting of about 30 acres, are
planning extensive improvements on the
property. The ground will be laid out in
large lots and sold only to those who will
build high-class dwellings. There will be
lawns and driveways, and a road will be
opened to connect with the main street of
Brad dock. To give the project a start the
syndicate will take the iuitiative by build
ing a number of houses as a sample of the
kind required of those who may purchase
lots. Several prominent McKeesporters will
likely be the first to build after the syndicate.
This is the most important improvement ever
undertaken at Swissvale.
The Best Investment.
Two good reasons why peoplo should buy or
build homes, whether able to pay spot cash or
not: First, because in a judicious purchase an
ownership is acquired that may bo disposed of
at any future time at a profit; it is a good in
vestment; second, because the outlay in rental
will meet the demand against you as a pur
chaser. Besides, the pleasure and satisfaction
enjoyed as an owner are never realized as a
tenant.
The Banner "Wards.
The bulk of the house building this year has
been done by wage-workers, hundreds of whom
have established homes and are in a large de
gree secure against the frowns of fortune. The
value of these improvements is not to be meas
ured by what they cost. Each house represents
a family with a personal inteiest in the pros
perity of the city and the maintenance of good
government- In the aggregate these new homes
represent a conservative force In business and
morals, which will be widely felt, to the ad
vantage nf the entire community. Home
building should be encouraged, as it brings
grist to everybody's mill.
Natural Gas Stocks.
There is likely to be a rally in natural gas
shares, since it has been found that the want of
well pressure can be remedied by artificial
means. Some think there is as much gas as
ever, and that the mills will be using it again
before lone. Be this as it may, it is pretty cer
tain that the supply is in no danger of immedi
ate extinction, with a strong probability that
it will last for years for domestic purposes, if
nothing more. It is tho recognition of this
pleasing prospect that underlies the upward
movement in the stocks ot the natural gas
companies. It is an interest of the utmost
importance to the city, and all attempts to
throw discredit upon it and weaken it in public
estimation should be promptly rebuked.
Business News and Gossip.
The rapidity with which new acreage is being
prepared for the market is a practical exhibi
tion of confidence in the future of real estate.
The wooden bridge tnat is being built over
Wood's run is only temporary. It will be re
placed by an iron structure, material for uhlch
is on the ground.
The most important mortgage on file yester
day was for $16,000. Of 31, 13 were for purchase
money. Each of 19 was for less than S1.0C0.
The wards that have taken the lead in build
ing this year are the Sixteenth, Nineteenth,
Twentieth, Twenty-first and Thirteenth, in the
order named.
Cigar and toby makers are running their full
capacity, and in some cases are obliged to re
fuse orders.
Southern lumber is gaiuinc ground in this
market. A dealer remarked yesterday: "A
few years ago it was a rare thing for a man to
use over a car load of Southern yellow pine
during a season, while the same man now
thinks nothing of carrying in stock half a
dozen cat loads of the same material." t
Oil reached a point yesterday which was very
discouragtng to producers. A new market
should be found or the drill stopped.
Those who propose bidding on the Exchange
building should bear in mind that this is the
day set lor its sale.
A good movement in real estate is reported
on the Southside. It seems as if every man
over there is determined to own a home.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Shares Again Dull Weakness of Lacka
wanna in Forenoon and Heavy Sell
ing of Unioa Pacific in the
Afternoon the Features.
New York, November 14. The stock mar
ket to-day was mnch less active than for a week
past, the general list being comparatively dull,
with small fluctuations and practically devoid
of feature. There was, however, no lack of
animation in a half di zen or more of the lead
ing stocks, and their fluctuations were as large
as usual, the prevailing tendency being down
ward. The cause for tbn renewal of the uneasiness
in the market was to be found this morning in
the dispatches from abroad, which reflected a
less confident tone than for the past two days,
and indicated that the squeeze for money on
the other side was by no means over. Here the
money telegraphed from San Francisco yester
day and to-day, aggregating $1,500,000, gave a
much easier tomj to the money market, and
while funds on cj.ll were run up to 12 per cent
at one time, loans were made as low as 4. and
the Anal one at 5.
The domestic news was rather of an encour
aging character, but the movements in the
market were again principally downward, owing
to the operations of the bears who took advan
tage of the cessation in the disposition to buy
for arise which has been So pronounced for the
past day or two. There was, however, buying
of an excellent character, and the general list
showed its effects.
London prices were generailylower than ours
of last evening, and with the news from the
other side, encouraged a demonstration against
a few stjeks at the opening which were very
irregular with marked losses in a few stocks,
among which Louisville and Nashville, with a
loss ol 2 per cent; Union Pacific, with i, and
Atchison and Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago
and St- Louis, with each, were most con
spicuous. Western Union and North Ameican were
the only really strong stocks on the list, the
former opening with a gain of V-A per cent and
the latter rising in the early trading from 11J
to It A severe drive was made against PacAc
Mall with the first sales, and it uas depressed
o per cent, the decline being accompanied by
certain vaf.ue rumors, but about which nothing
of a definite character was developed. The
stock later seemed to give good support and
made a substantial rally.
The great feature of the forenoon's tran
sactions, however, was the weakness in Lacka
wanna, for which there was no explanation,
and the general opinion was that its friends,
who havo been standing nnder it for so long,
had quiet'y let it off with the remainder ot the
list. Its decline was almost continuous, and in
tho afternoon it touched 131, from which it
recovered only per cent, against 136 last
evening.
North American for tho first time in many
days ceased to be the most prominent stock on
the list, and for some time it was compara
tively neglected, while the transactions in It
during the day reached a very ordinary figure.
The early advance wasn't held, and it slowly
drifted back to the neighborhood of 11, There
were no new developmcnis in regard to either
of the men prominent in Its affairs.
The feature of the later dealings was the
heavy selling of Northern Pacific preferred,
which from 604 declined to 67, and, like Lack
awanna, rallied only a small fraction. The
general Impression was that most of the oelllng
came from parties who held it as collateral for
loans, and who bought it in at the Exchange.
The bears, however, were very active in the
stock, and its transactions ran up to the largest
figure yet There was a good buying order in
the common, which kept it steady throughout
the day.
Sugar refineries again bobbed up In the after
noon with a sbarp drop, and the leading
Grangers were weak, with Louisville and
Nashville, ot which there was considerable
sold for foreign account. The market con
tinued to sell down slowly and steadily, and
finally closed active and weak at or near the
lowest prices of the day. The final changes are
all in the direction of lower figures, even the
strong stocks of the forenoon failing to hold
any of their improvement, and Lackawanna is
down 1: Louisville and Nashville. 2; Union
Pacific 2J: Sugar, 2; Northern Pacific pre

There was much large dealings In the specula
tive bonds to-day, and for that reason the total
sales of all issues were run up to S2,659,00a Of
that amount were 600 Pacific 6s, which dls-
?layed a much firmer tone than for the past
ew days, and, although they failed to advance
any, furnished $527,000; Reading firsts, $192,000;
Kansas and Texas firsts, $106,000; Texas and
Pacific seconds, $163,000: Reading is. $113,000,
and Rock Island 6s, 1143, OQa The pressure upon
these issues gave the list a heavy tone aagin,
and material losses are more numerous to
nieht. Rock Island 6s lost 2J at 9SH; Louis
ville. New Albanv and Chicago consols, 2 at 92;
Reading 4s, 2 at 77, and the firsts 3 at 64.
The JPost says: The temper of the stock
market experienced an entire change to-day
from yesterday, and the change was distinctly
the result of the less favorable aspect of affairs
in London, together with the continued high
sales of interest, which are mainly the result of
the situation here. Yesterday large amounts
of money came into Wall street to buy stocks
upon the belief that the London situation bad
cleared up, and that as all weak spots here had
been developed, and their effects fully dis
counted, it was a good time to buy stocks; bnt
to-day there was no such disposition. Aside
from the stringency of money and the appre
hensions of trouble in London, all the condi
tions here are In favor of higher prices for rail
road stocks. The movement on the part of
many of the Union Pacific stockholders, and
also of the officials ot the other Granger roads,
to break up the Union Pacific-Northwestern
alliance as the preliminary to the formation of
a new, more comprehensive and more
binding agreement than the late President's
agreement, is a genuine one, and affords the
prospect of better times for all the Western
roads, but it has little effect In such a stock
market as to-day.
There was an unusually active demand here
for cables this morning, which some persons
imagined indicated a desire to advance the
rates of exchange to a gold exporting point.
There is, however, not the slightest occasion
for thinking that any gold will be either ex
ported or imported while the rates of interest
are so hlcrt that the time for transit across the
ocean (and during which time the capital Is
practically out of existence) would make it a
ve.-y losing transaction. The Increased demand
for cables to-day was undoubtedly the effect of
the desire to move money to London more
quickly than by the usual methods. It also in
dicated selling of stocks to-day for London ac
count. The following table shows the prices or active
stocks on the .Newport Stock Exchange yester
day. Corrected dally for Thi DISPATCH by

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Fancy apples are tending upward. Choice
potatoes are good stock at present prices.
Prospects are that potatoes will soon go higher.
Nearbv eggs are very scarce, and outside quota
tions are obtained without any trouble. There
is little doubt that the late advance in cream
ery butter bas been largely due to speculative
influences. Manufacturers of oleo.lt is thought,
have been booming butter, not entirely for
unselfish purposes. Poultry is over-plenty and
pricesare weak. The grape crop is still abund
ant and markets favor buyers. The same is
true of bananas. Another week will, no doubt,
bring grapes near to their end for this season.
For the present markets are quiet, and all other
fruits will, no doubt, go slow until the fruit of
the vine is worked off.

MABKETS BY WISE.
A Big Break In the Chicago Grain Pit A
Craze to Unload Causes Values to
Vanish Provisions Involved
in the Slaughter.
CHICAGO Sellers were around the pits in
overwhelming numbers to-day, and there was
a practical illustration on 'Change exhibited
under very exciting circumstances of the diffi
culty of disposing of goods upon an over
stocked market, except at slaughter of prices.
December wheat showed at the closing price
to-day a loss since yesterday at the correspond
ing time of IJic, and May of He Corn dropped
lc and oats IJc in the same time, while pro
visions marched in the rear, but in the same
direction with the grain market.
There was an excited struggle at the com
mencement of business to get rid of wheat by
those who were still holders of that description
of property. Its desirability as an investment
bas been gradually diminishing in the estima
tion of those, who, a month ago looked upon
the possession of a few thousands or with the
most ambitious spirits a few hundred thou
sand bushels, as better than money put out at
usurious interest. All this kind of sentiment
has been uprooted from the minds of the local
speculators, and to-day it was only after
repeated inquiries among those who had
previously expressed an opinion favoring
higher prices that one could be found here and
there in some secluded corner avowing himself
still a bull. Statistics were jot a factor in the
business to-day. It was principally a matter of
exhausted margins, and in such times of money
stringency and vanishing values full margins
have become wonderfully narrow. The usual
influences occasioned by the daily movement
fell flat
When the market opened there were sellers
of December anxious to get 95c, and few buy
ers at over 95c and the readiness with which
the latter were supplied made those who were
willing to buy hold off for a still lower figure,
and thay did not havo verv long to wait. There
was an immediate drop to 94c, and May,
which started around SI 02, slid off to SI 01.
At those prices the trading was very exciting.
Lines of long wheat were dropped and corre.
sponding lines of short wheat covered. This
caused prices to rally, and December wheat
advanced to95c and May toSl 02 This rally
ing turn was taken advantage of to
put out additional lines of short wheat,
and before the session was two hours
old the price of December had gotten
down to 93Jc and May to SI 00. There were
sales of flour reported for export from Minne
apolis, of wheat loading at St, Lonisfor foreign
shipment and of considerable purchases on for
eign account at New York, but the moderate
rallies occasioned by such news had no staving
qualities! December, after selling upto91c
and May to SI 01K. relapsing to 3c and SI U0
respectively, it was not until within 15 min
utes of the close that the traders began to
have any confidence in the bottom prices
for the day having been already experienced.
The liquidation, which was so prominent a
feature ot the day's business in the wheat pit,
was also the most notable circumstance in the
corn deal. The opening price for May wa 52c,
or c below the point at which it closed yester
day. It did not long remain at the prices
named, and it was not until it had declined lc
more that there was enough buying to cause a
reaction which could bold more than one or two
minutes. The buying in of short corn was the
only kind of buying of sufficient bulk to turn
the price.
Hutchinson tried to stop the decline, but he
soon perceived that there was too much force
arrayed against him, and he abandoned the at
tempt. There was heavy liquidation of country
holding, and, altogether, a very large business.
Oats were active, but weaker, and a good de
cline was recorded, tbe finish showing a net loss
of l0!3ic from yesterday' close. The open
ing was weak and S?ic lower, and quickly
started on the down grade, at one time dropping
Jc for May, witb few intervening trades. Shorts
bouzbt liberally on the decline, and a reaction
of lie followed, but was not all maintained
until tbe close.
Pork Quite an active business was trans
acted at irregular prices. Opening sales were
made at 10015c decline, and the general desire
to realize caused a further reduction of 15020c
At tbe decline the demand showed some im
provement, while the oflVrinc was lighter; con
sequently a rally of to 2O022Kc was gained.
Toward the close the feeling was easier and
prices settled back again 57c and tbe mar
ket closed rather quiet at meuium figures.
Lard Ratber mure was doing and the feeling
somewhat unsettled. Opening sales were 2
5c decline and a further reduction of 2&5c
gradually followed with rather liberal trauing.
Later a steadier feeling was manifested and
prices rallied, but settled back to inside figures
and closed quiet.
Sbort Ribs Active business was transacted
and prices ruled irregular. Opening sales were
at 2c decline and a further reduction of 50
7c mllowed. Later the feelim: was steadier
and prices rallied again 205c, but settled
back to medium figures and closed quiet.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

PHILADELPHIA AHEAD.
McAllister Awards the Palm to the Sleepy
City on Terrapin,
Philadelphia Press.
In Mr. McAllister's classic, "Society as I
Have Found It," he discusses the vexed
question whether tbe Philadelphia or Balti
more style of cooking terrapin is the better,
Jlr. McAllister indorses the Philadel
phia. This is a subject upon which ha
is particularly happy and sensitive,
for it is his opinion that Ne
yorkers are obliged to go away
from the city to get terrapin. It is served
in almost all the swell restaurants, but Mr.
McAllister advises his friends never to
touch it in such places, and a suspicion ha
been created that terrapin stew, as it i
known in New York, consists of one part of
cheap mud turtle, one part ol liver, and ona
part of condiments skilfully flavored, oq
the same plan which makes mook-turflj
soup.
There is another custom which has grown
recently enormous in New York, which Mr,
McAllister frowns upon. This is a cheap
and reprehensible imitation ot that artistia
culinary delight ot xiuston Known as broiled ;
lobster. It is with a very wry face and ges-,
ticulation expressive of disgust that Mr. Mo
Allister says that New Yorkers never have
broiled lobster.
Tbe Boston way produces a delicious,
morsel for a gourmet, lor they take a liva
lobster, kill it by thrusting a needle through!
the back, split it instantly and put it on the
grill. Thus the sea flavor is retained, while,
New Yorkers are content to have a lobster
which bas died iu the fish stalls, and which
has then been boiled, cut open, placed on
the gridiron, heated through and then served'
as broiled lobster, and this Mr. McAllister,
pronounces an artistic offense. Whether it
is a shock to art or not, McAllister's de-;
scriptiou of the New Yotk method is entire-'
ly accurate, although the dish bas becoms
enormously popular here.
Reserved Seats.
Youths Companion.
Tommy is very hard on shoesand trousers.
His mother understands this, and govern
herself nccordibgly when she goes shopping.
One day, while out with another lady, she
was buying cloth for a pair of pantaloon
for Tommy, and ordered a good deal mora
than seemed necessary.
"Why do you get so much?" asked her
friend.
"Oh," was the replv, "this is for reserved
seats!"
