STATE OF FOEEIGN METAL MARKETS
tSPECIAT, TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCII.l
Xew Yoke, November 20. The Iron
Age review of the iron and metal markets
for the past week is as follows:
In every line the market has been so
absolutely lifeless that a report must neces
sarily be a repetition of nominal quotations.
The iron trade is in a very sound condition.
A good many furnaces and the majority of
the mills have had a very good year thus far.
They have made money, a cart of which
only has been But into improvements and
extensions. The works are strong, finan
cially, and nothing short of general financial
disaster can hurt them senouslv. It is feared
that many projects will now remain in abej
ance, and that a good deal of work for town
improvements, railroad extension and railroad
equipments will not come out for months
American Pig While geneially speaking,
oulv a moderate amount of busuussbas been
done, we maj still note that some blocks of
considerable migmtudc have been placed.
Efforts to realize on warrants still continue.
-Makers at standard Northern brands are not,
however, pressing the market. There is some
disposition on the part of some Southern
producers to effect sales at concessions in
iiriro. V quote J17Q1S for No. 1 foundry;
I1G 0016 50 for No. 2 foundry, and S15 0013 30

spiegelcisen and Ferro-manganese No busi
ness whatever lias been done in spiegel, which
we quote at S30 OOgSO 50 nominally. Ferro may
be quoted at S67U)4fGSOa It is claimed that
the foreign markets show a tendency toward
firmness, because the closing of the Black Sea
ports cuts ofl lurther ore supolies lor the win
ter from southern Kussia.
steel Rails The market has been totally
featureless. The large Union Pacific order
has been postponed, and it is only too likely
that work will come out very slowlv for the
balance of the year. The deliveries of the
mill in the association up to November 1 were
1.207 65S tons. Adding the outside mills, the
total has probabh reached 1,35(1,000, and
the i earw.ll close with a production of about
1.50i'.000tons of rails weighing 50 pounds or
more. The orders on the books to November 1,
for 1S90 deliver, aggregated L47S.224 tons, ex
cluded light rail-. No data are available
as jet for the sales for lb91 delivery. The sale
of the Allegheny Ues-emer mill is confirmed.
We quote ste 1 rails at Eastern mill nominally
at 52?. 5tg.2l 00.
Kail l-i-.ciungs The market continues very
dull. Weqnoi: Angles 1.70?L75c delivered;
spikes. 22.1oc. and bolts. 2.75Q3C.
Manufactured Iron Some interest has been
awakened in the tracing at Boston of a large
order for German beams, an American mill
taking only the 15-inch beams. It is understood
that these liram- u ere purchased at about 2.70c,
delivered at Boston. We learn that the cost ol
laving down German beams, base sizes, in this
harbor is about 2.60c So far as the Urge arch
itectural works ot this city are concerned the
question affects them les for this j ear, since
they have contracts for 1690 delivery at 2.80
It is a different matter for 1S9L The importa
tion of beams is, huwever. attended with so
many difficulties that merchants are slow to
enter the busiuess.
Old Rails In the absence of any business
the market is entirely nominal at 21 50gi5 00

Foreign Metal Market Affected by the
Trouble In Financial Circles.
rFciAL tklkukaii to the nihPATcn.:
NtvYoKK. November 20. The lion Age
quotes the foieigu non and metal markets as
follows: London operations in pig iron warrants
haie been on a very moderate scale, but prices
bate averaged lower under the weight
of unfavorable financial conditions,
fccotch soid aown to 49s; Cleveland
to 45s 6d and Ilematirs to 56s 10d.
eak "bulls' hare disposed of nearly all their
holdings ana the hulk of the supply is in strong
hand. 7 here is quite a large "hear" account
open. Fiesh operations are deterred by the
uncertain financial situation. Consumers are
booking orders for forward delivery, but ship
ments at present are moderate. Makers stocks
are almost nil, and the total in f onnal's
stores has been cut down 4,433
tons the past week. Additional hematite
furnaces are blowing out, owing to enhanced
cost of production, due to dear fuel. After a
temporarj- recovery, the spot price of pig tin
di opped to tS9 lOd. Outside it-flucnces con
tinue to restrain purchases fur speculation.
The chief feature of the week has been con
tinued liquidation of cash prompts, parti) re
placed b forwards. Ihe quantity thus sold
has been absorbed and spot stocks are small.
The consumption is good.
Copper has been unsettled, with as low as
i.54 7s, 6d. reached on merchant bar prompts.
'Ihe depression is attributed wholly to the
financial crisis. Largest holders refuse to sell
at present pi ices, ami onl small cash lots arc
nflering. Consumers aicbujing for immediate
wants oul" Prires for tin plate are held very
steady. Makers keep well sold up. and some
have orders for rtclnerv as far ahead as March.
Inquiries from America, which have been more
numerous, resulted in several orders being
p'aced. chieflv for cokes. Stocks at Bntih
shipping ports are 330.000 boxes, against 3GO.O0O
boxes held a tear agti. Old iron has been in
better demand for home account, but there is
lery little export deiuaud at present.

The Volume of Coke Business Much Less
Than Last Week Hope of Ending the
Cnr Famine Operators Doing Business
in a Conservative Manner.
SrrCIAI. TELEQItAM TO THE DISrATCH.I
SCOTTDAI.E. November 20, An improvement
was reported in transportation the' past week,
but, for reasons accounted for only in the car
famine, there was a wide decline in the volume
of business transacted. A feeling of confidence
was seemingly prevalent in coke circles, but
late developments have no doubt caused many
deviations fiom well-laid plans. A few opera
tors, however, still maintain the opinion that
transportation will be restored to
regular condition, and produce a laud
able argument for their belief. They say that
the lake coal trade will soon be over, and the
immense shipping equipments Utilized for that
market will then be diverted to the coke region.
Operators are transacting business in a con
servative manner. They exercise judgment
in ganging the Production according to the Im
perative wants, at the same time considering
the state of transportation. Of course the
market is irregular, but the causes are at
tributed solely to the car famine.
Railroad companies are working energetical
ly to drive awav tins famine. They have no
apprehensions and seem to possess evidence
that the improvement is alreadv in sight. Some
of the largest coke companies have notified the
labor organization that as a medium of relief
during the car troubles they will adopt the
plan of making 9G-hour coke, which v. ill throw
one-third of the employes idle each aaj-. This
will enable the coke firms to keep all their
ovens in blast and serve as a preventive to the
accumulation of coke, since the number of
cars clveu them is arranged according to the
active ovens. Coke is at present being piled on
yards because of no cars. The demand is char
acterized by the usual activity, although
shipments fell away behind the past week. The
works continue to cperate six days per week.
A few companies, however, are still observing
the one day per week shutdown. There are no
deviations from the quoted prices An increase
or reduction is not believed to be under con
templation by any of the operators. When the
new wage agreement is formulated that ques
tion will be considered.
The inactive oveus in the region number
nearly L200. The fire has not yet been extin
guished in the Charlotte mine here.
The Mahoning plant of Isaac Taylor,
lessee, is still ont of blast. The water,
which has flooded the entire mine, cannot
be gotten our. The idle number of ovens In
the region is indeed small when compared with
the list of actives, which is over 14.600. New
ovens are being completed at the Lamont
plants. The fire is still burning In the Hill
Farm mine.
Shipments the past week bear an ungratify
ing contrast when the comparison is made with
the previous week. Shipments only averaged
954 cars per day, against L14.! of the week be
fore. The decrease for the week was 1,130 cars.
Following is the record of consignments of
shipments: To points west of Pittsburg, 345
cars; to Pittshnrg ami river points, 1,270 cars; to
points east of Pittsburg-1,000 cars; total. 5,720

Prominent Railway Officials Think
of Locating in Pittsburg.
HOUSE FAMINE IN A SEW LIGHT.
Local Stock Trading Falls Off, out So
Radical Changes in Yalnes.
THE SEWS AKD GOSSIP OP THE C1TI
The importance of Pittsburg as a business
center, together with its rapid advancement
in population and wealth, has made such an
impression upon the mind of the President
of the New York and New England Kail-
road that he has written to Mr. W. E. Ham
nett, a real estate dealer in Wilkiusbure,
for a large, handsome rustic place in the
East End, with a view to making it his per
manent home.
He has not explained his object in desir
ing to locate in Pittsburg, but it is inferred
that he is contemplating a railroad extension
or combine of some sort, of which this part
of the country will be the center. The same
gentleman has also received a letter from the
superintendent of a railroad in Ohio, whose
headquarters are in Cleveland, saying that he
will remove to Pittsburg If he can buy or
rent a suitable house for him to live in.
There is a good deal here for reflection.
There is no doubt that the greatest obstacle to
the more rapid growth of the city is the
scarcity of houses. If all the people who want
to come to Pittsburg and enjoy its business ad
vantages could be accommodated, there would
be an immediate accession of several thousand
valuable citizens. The gentlemen referred to
above, having plenty of money, will no doubt
secure what they have written for, as a few
hundred dollars, more or less, is of little ac
count in their eyes, but the bulk of those who
regard Pittsburg as the Mecca of their hopes
and desires, have more brains and muscle than
readv cash, and need and deserve encourage
ment, without which they will be unable to es
tablish themselves In this community. Being
unable to build at once, capitalists should
build for them.
This is not charity, but business, in the
best sense of the word. These people would
be an important acquisition to the productive
force of the city, and the money invested in
houses tor them to live in would yield a better
return than if emploved m almost any other
enterprise.
A "Wide Difference.
In studying reports of failures it should not
be oterlooked that the invariable cause as
signed is speculation. The downfall of Barker
Bros. fc Co., at Philadelphia yesterday, was
distinctly due to this cause. Legitimate busi
ness is holding its own throughout the country,
and in Pittsburg is on as solid a fooling as at
any time this vear.
There is a wide distinction between specula
tion and business, between real and fictitious
values, and knowledge of this divergence will
not only enable the reader to acquire a better
understanding of the situation, hut will save
him manv doubts and fears. Business in Pitts
burg is all right.

A prominent business man said vesterdav:
"A canal from Lke Erie to the Ohio or Alle

double the business of this city in a very few
years. It would cheapen the price of iron ore
and therefore of the finished product, and give
ns a still greater lead in that industry, and it
wonld .solve -the coal question for all time by
enabling producers to open up new markets in
the Northwest which they cannot reach by

VALUE VANISHES.
Apparent Impossibility to Arrest the Down
ward Movement In OIL
Very little oil changed hands yesterday, and
the market was weak, due to increasing pro
duction, a decline in refined at New York and
Antwerp, and the indifference of outsiders,
which is becoming more noticeable every day.
Even the curbstone contingent was smaller
yesterday than nsual.
A few trades were made at 69c, which was the
only quotation, but at the close the weakness
became more pronounced, and the gong run on
a bid of esic Clearines were 48,000 barrels.
Average runs were 82,386: average shipments,
85 909; average charters, 15,322.

Bankers Report a Healthy Condition of the
Cash Market.
Checking shelved a considerable shortage
yesterday, as compared with the best days of
the month, but vas heavy enough to show that
general trade keeps up' remarkably well in the
face of adverso influences. These, however,
there is reason to believe, have spent their
force and opened the way for a prompt improve
ment in the financial situation. The extinguish
ment of false values in railroad securities will
surely have a good ef.'ect on all the business
interests of the country.
A search for new features at several of the
leading banks yesterday failed to find any.
Everything was moving along satisfactorily.
The supply of funds was adequate to business
requirements. Regular borrowers obtained all
the accommodation sought: but there was con
siderable discrimination against outsiders, but
even some of th6Se made the rifle. Rates ruled
stoadv on the usual 67 per cent basis. Ex
changes were 22,672,637 21 and balances S396,

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Why So Much Interest is Centered in Pa
cific Mall Bear Attacks on Gould
Stocks and the Grangers
Money Market Easy.
New York, November 20. Ihe stock mar
ket to-day has been rather quiet, without any
of the excitement which has marked the trad
ing in stocks for the past two weeks, while the
movements of prices were quite irregular, and
several changes of temper occurred,
which resulted in leaving the list ir
regularly changed from last night's
figures. The early London advices
showed in improving feeling there,
and the governors of the Bank of England, at
their regular weekl; meeting, allowed the
minimum rate of discount to remain unchanged
Instead ot advancing it to 7 per cent, as had
been anticipated. This caused a demand atthe
opening here to cover shorts, and first prices
were all from to J per cent higher, while
Missouri Pacific was 1 higher and New En
gland . The upward movement lacked vim,
however, and while a few stocks scored further
slight gains, the upward movement soon came
to a halt.
Some of the traders who had bought at the
low prices prevalent yesterday realized their
profits, and the beais felt the niaiket with some
shortsales. which soon turned the current and
the market sagged away.
An attempt was made to depress the Gould
stocks, with the apparent object of affecting
the whole list, but it was quickly discovered
that a prominent house was buying largely,
and, while Missouri Pacific lost 1 per cent of
its early rise, the raid was soon given up.
Extreme dullness marked the trading for the
remainder of the forenoon, hut after that time
the bears again became aggressive, taking ad
vantage of the limited market, as usual, to sell
another line of shorts. The attack this time
was directed squarely at the Grangers, and
Rock Island in particular. The rumor that
tho next dividend would be passed was freely
circulated and undoubtedly bad some in
fluence, and coming at the same time with the
announcement of the failure of Barker Bros.,
in Philadelphia, helped materially to depress
the stocks of the general list. The failure
had a special Influence upon Reading, and
that stock kept pace with the Grangers In the
downward movement as long as it lasted. The
drop amounted to about 1 to 3 per cent in the
Grangers and fractional amounts In the list,
with the exception of Rock Island, which was
knocked down from 67 to 63J4. and even the
declaration of the regular dividends upon
Northern Pacific preferred and Burlington
were of no effect in checking the downward
movement. The bears withdrew their forces
toward delivery hour, but the market displayed
no recuperative power, although there was evi
dence of good buying, especlallv in Missouri
Pacific and Union Pacific
Money was easy throughout the day and
silver shoMed some improvement, and the re
sistance in the general list was stubborn, hav
ing the effect of maintaining most of the list,
outside of the Grangers, above last pight's
figures,and the final changes this evening show
a majority of advances. The close, however,
was heavy and dull at close to the lowest prices
of the day. Missouri Pacific is the only stock
showing any material improvement, and Is i.
per cent higher, while' Rock Island is 3J-J and
Jersey Central 1 par Lent lower.
Railroad bonds also showed somewhat less
animation, and the number of issues traded In
was much smaller than yesterday, wjiile a
steadier tone marked the dealings throughout
the day. The final changes are, however, quite
irregular, though the speculative issues are
generally higher. Northern Pacific 5s led the
dealings with 310,000, followed by Richmond
and West Point 5t with 112.000. Richmond
and West Point 6s rose &i to 65; Mobile and
Ohio 4s, 2 to 59. and Colorado Coal 6s, 2 to 10L
The J'ost says: To estimate the valne of Pa
cific Mail as a factor in the maintenance of
transcontinental rates it must be remembered
that the Pacific Mall has facilities for carrying
a vast amount of heavy freights, such as nails.
Iron, etc, which the railroads could not carry,
because they could not afford to carry It ex
cept at rates ot freight which would be abso
lutely prohibitive. It is this class of freight
which is the main support of the Pacific Mail.
But while carrying this, the ships could
alio carry a higher clua f freights
r
at the same time without any addltlona
expense to themselves. If they did so this
would lower the rates on all classes: of trans
continental freights, and it is in order to in
duce the Pacific Mail Company not to take any
such freights that all the transcontinental
roads have jointly agreed to guarantee to the
Pacific Mail an aggregate of 1.200 tons of freight
per month if the Pacific Mail Company will
maintain the same rates as the railroads do on
all railroad freights. This amounts to
about 575,000 per month, and sometimes
when the Pacific Mail Company doesn't
get the full 1,200 tons of freight, the
difference is paid to it by the railroads in
money. The Pacific Mail would only be a dis
turbing factor if it was independent. There is
no reason to doubt that if the surrender of the
Pacific Mail had not been made to Mr. Gould,
there would have been smashing, not only of
that stock, but of all the other stocks which
were largely held by the parties who tried to
support Pacific Mail. To some extent, per
sonal feelings on the part of Mr. Gould may have
been a factor In the contest for Pacific Mall,
but It must also be remembered that the
Vanderbtlt interests, as represented by Mr.
Morgan, and other interests, as represented by
Mr. Rockefeller, have joined with him in trj
ing to bring about tbis whole readjustment of
transcontinental interests. This readjustment
will also probably require the retirement of
Mr. Adams from the Presidency of the Union
Pacific because his policy lor several years has
made him unpopular with the other roads west
of Chicago, and In order to maintain harmony
it will probably be necessary to have a Presi
dent for the Union Pacific who will be better
liked by the officers of other Western roads.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Poultry and vegetables are in abundant sup

bills. Prospects are good for cheap Thanks
giving turkeys. At this date all poultry is flat.
Supply of grapes continnes large, bnt the crop
draws near its end for this season. Markets
are still bare of fresh nearby eggs. A leading
dealer said yesterday: ,-Hoae eggs are scarcely
to be had. Jobbers would cheerfully pay 25 to
26c per dozen for strictly fresh nearby eggs, but
are unable to get them." Western eggs are in
good supply and prices are steady. Country
butter still drags, and anything in this" line
under par goes begging for customers. Choico
potatoes and apples are in good demand. Po

, Groceries.
There are no new developments In this de
partment of trade for some days past. All
staples move along in the old ruts. Sugars are
weak and coffees barely steady. Volume of
trade has been light this week owing to finan
cial flnrry and bad weather. But groceries are
as much needed as ever, and it la only a ques
tion of time when demand will be active jnd
goods move freely.

There were no sales on call at the Grain Ex
change. Receipts as bulletined, 45 cars, of which
23 were received by the Pittsburg. Cincinnati
and St. Louis Railway, as follows: 5 cars of

and Lake Erie, 2 cars of rye, 1 of hay, 1 of
straw. The general drift of grain and hay mar
kets is downward, All along the line the situa
tion is favorable to the buyer. With present
weakness of stocks and tightness of money, the
hand-to-mouth policy Is generally pursued, and
there are no signs of an npward movement in
sight. The faith is strong, however, with deal
ers that prices are down to bed-rock, and that
markets must advance before long. There Is al
ready a stronger tone to markets in tho West,
and the Improvement can hardly fall to reach
here in a diy or two.

MARKETS BY WIRE.
The Downward Movement In the Chicago
Grain Pit Continued Values Shrink
AH Along the Line Eastern
Advices Cause the Break.
CHICAGO The wheat market started to-day
with an appearance of strength which en
couraged the bulls to hope that a long period of
weakness was about to be succeeded by some
thing more favorable to their interests. The
strength in thn end was replaced early by weak
ness, and everything on the list closed lower
than yesterday. Wheat left off at ljic
decline for May. Corn was Jc lower,
oats e lower, and provisions suffered
in proportion. The news forthcoming
previous to the commencement of trading gave
no encouragement to the calamity mongers.
With nothing to cause a renewal of tho pre
viously existing alarm, but, on the contrary, so
mnch having a tendency to restore confidence,
a firm opening to all the speculative markets
was naturally to be expected, and therefore
surprised no one when the opening prices con
firmed general anticipation. The liquidation
of December wheat appears to be about over, so
far. at least, as any great pressure of it is con
cerned, and the crowd is concentrating in the
May delivery. The premium in favor of the
market showed a tendency to contract to-day,
and for the greater part of the time held about
6Ko in advance of December.
The opening quotations were: May, 99ic,
and December, 92J4c with somo sales at 99c
and 92Kc respectively at the same time. Trad
ing was fairly active, but entirely free' from the
extreme nervousness which has been character
istic of the bnslness lor the past week, and
considerable firmness was indicated by an ad
vance of ic inside of the first five minutes.
Mav nlo on this bulge at 99Kc and December
at9292Xc At these prices, which showed
an advance of 3c from the lowest point of
Wednesday's market, there were considerable
offerings to realize profits on yesterday's pur
chases, and It was a tempting advance, oc
curring in so brief a time, for the bears to put
out fresh lines of shorts. On the resulting re
action May declinod to 98Jc and December to
91Jjc and this was followed by several fluctua
tions between the limits of 99Kc and 8ic for
May. with a drop to 98c about 12 o'clock.
The failure of a stock brokerage firm in
Philadelphia caused the break, which occurred
about 12 o'clock, but there was a quick re
covery of about c The market showed a'
dragging tendency toward the close, and be
came heavy on rumors of a disquieting nature
regarding the run upon the savings banks in
New York. May declined to- 97Kc about half
an hour from the close, and December to90c
The recuperative power of the market had evi
aentlv bren exhamted in the earlv trading, and
the close Mas at practically the bottom prices
of the day.
The corn market showed no traces at the
opening of business of the weakness which
prevailed during the greater portion ot the
previous day. The extremely light receipts
alarmed the shorts, who rushed to coyer at soon
as the bell sounded, and their purchases were
kept up for about 15 minutes on a considerable
scale. The opening price for May was verv ir
regular, there being simultaneous sales at 52c,
5Jc and 53c, the bulk ot tne business done being
probably at o3c It sold np to 5ic inside of five
minutes, and from that time to the close its
course was reversed. The heavier and more
courageous of the shorts, instead of covering
with the general crowds sold more at the ad
vance, and as soon as the first scare was over
the scalpers helped the sellers and kept at it ou
the moderate rallies up to the close, which was
3-ic below the price at the corresponding time
yesterday and the lowest price made to-day.
Oats were active but nnsettled at the open
ing, which was at an advance of to c and
prices appreciated c more. A weaker feeling
developed, prices receding VAc but rallied
slightly. Trading after the decline became
lighter, and the market weakened, declined c
and closed easy at Kc below yesterday.
Pork Rather a gooa business was transacted.
Opening sales were made at fully 710c ad
vance, and a further improvement ot 10015c
was gained. The demand slackened and price
receded 2703Or. Later the market ruled
stronger and price advanced 12015c but set
tled back again 2O022c and clused steady.
Lard A fairly active trade was reported. At
the onenlng, prices ruled 25c higher. Later
prices settled back 710c, and the market
closed quiet at Inside figures.
Short Ribs Rather an active business was
transacted and price'; fluctuated considerably.
Opening sales were made at 57c advance,
but the rather free offerings caused a weak
feeling and pr.ces receded 1O012C, and closed
rather quiet.
