X,.. r- THB PITTSBURG-, JpISPATCH. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1890. t 9 11 1 IRON TRADE REVIEW. The Financial Flurry Has Bad Ko Noticeable Effect Yet. TRANSACTIONS IN RAW IRONS Are Still Light, bat the Finished Product is in Good Demand. EEPOETS FROM TUB LEADING CENTERS There is practically no change in the situ ation ot iron and steel markets the past 'week. The financial depression may in time affect iron, but so far there are no im pressions risible. Prices had touched hard pan before the drop in stocks, and hence there was no room for a drop in pig iron. Transactions in raw irons are still light, and there are rumors of concessions the past few days, but holders of standard brands report prices unchanged. Manufactured iron is the article most likely to be reached by the Curry In stock markets. So far demand is good, and manufacturers ot finished products hare all they can do. Stocks in the hands of manufacturers cannot be larce, but most mills haelaid in supplies snfhcient to ruu them for the balance of the j ear. There is no inclination on the part of manufacturers t lav in stock ahead, as is natural in the present drooping condition of markets. All finished irons aie in good de mand at quotations. Structural iron, wire rods and wire nails are quiet the past week. The financial flurry has affected steel rails, and v hile prices arc nominally the same, there is lit tle doubt that the cash customer would find manufacturers ready to concede a little on our quotations.

TELEGIIAM TO THE PISrATCH.l Philadelphia. November 21 Just what the outlook maybe later on is not at present apparent, and will probably depend to a large extent on the outcome of events in the money market. Up to this date, notwithstanding the severe strain in financial circles, the prices of iron do not appear to have been affected. Naturally there is some hesitancy in enterinc into new engage ments, but as nearly the entire output of mills and furnaces is being taken on old contracts there is no necessity for forcing sales at loner prices, especially as there is at this time prac tically nothing to be forced on the market. Pig iron shows no material change cither in output or consumption. As a rule, the asking prices for lots delivered in consumers' yards are as follons: Standard PennlvamaNo. 1, J1SSJ18 50: No. 2. JI74J17 50; medium Penrlvania No. 1. 17 50 $17 73, and No. 2 is 16 25216 75: ordmarv forge, cinder mixed. Sllgll 50. and charcoal car wheel iron. $22g2U. Bessemer pig is rather quiet. Prices are nominally firm at 18 18 50 at furnace. Muck bars are quiet and the demand irregular. Quotations range f rom 20 0029 50 for free ollenngs at sellers' mills, but liuvers do not seem inclined to pay more than 29 50 delivered. Bar iron is steady, though not active, and for the present manu facturers maintain prices at about l.S5L95c at city mills and l.b(igI.S5c at outside points.. Skeins A fair amount of business is offering at about 2c for groored and 2,15c for sheared, with some sales at 2.05c and 2,15c respectively, htructural iron is steady and without change. The mills are well employed for the present and have fair prospects for continued activitv. Prices for lots delu ered in consumers' Yards are: Anglcs.2.202.30c; sheared plates, 2.302.40c and from 10c to 20s more for steel, according to requirements; ties, 2.72.hc; beams and channels. 3.1c for cither iron or steel; sheet iron, the demand for thin sheets is fully main tained, but on the heavier class of sheets there is not much demand. The asking rates for best reft. ied in carlors are as follows: Nos. 14 to20.3S3.10c;Nos. 21 to 21, 3.203.30c: Nos. 25 to26.3.403.50c;No. 27, 3.50g3.6Uc, and No. 23, E.606 3.70c A WAITING SITUATION. So Effort at Business Is Iteing Made at Cincinnati. ISrEClAL TLLEGKAM TO THE DISPATCH.I Cincinnati, November 2L Rogers, Brown A Co. saj : By common consent there has been practically no effort at business in crude iron the week past. Furnaces and their representa tives have felt that no good can come of efforts to make ales on account of the widespread feeling of uncertainty and apprehension. Lead ing houses hare called in their salesmen and are onlyqnoting in reply to direct inquiries. Large bujers bave m some cases expected that the emergency would develop unusual chances for buwng. based on the necessity of furnaces to realize. They hare, uowerer, been disappointed. Values have been main tained with a firmness that is surprising to the trade generally. There are several rea sons for this. One is that in most cases the furnaces have their order books filled for de lu cries for weeks to come and are not com polled to book further business untiljanuarv or later. Another reason U that values are al ready ruling extremely low. scarcely above the cost if production on the average, both North and South. In connection with this fact, the latest report shows that stocks are still decreas ing and that the rate of production is being cut down. Another point that bas been emphasized in the recent troubles is that when values of se curities and properties supposed to be solid hare shrunk alarmingly, pig iron has stood out as the only thing with intrinsic value sufficient to withstand all attacks. In the present tem per of the market, there will not be much ef fort by furnaces to sell until after the turn of the year. Here and there a weak holder mav be compelled to realize, but the total amount of iron thus situated is not thought to be lat gc. The only offerings so far that have been under the market are on warrants, which con sumers usually expect to get at 50 cents under J ee price, as an offset for the unusual terms and risks pertaining to quality and weights. As to whether the general range of consumption will be materially cut donn bv the stock market trouble, there is no means now of knowing Views differ greatly. The current rate is enormous and sellers are taxed to their utmost to supply it. in the face of the car famine, which has not improved in the least. AN UNCEETAIN TONE. Quietnesi and Demoralization the Leading Features or the Chicago Market. JFr&CIAL TELEGHAM Til T1IK DISPATCH. Chicago. November 2L Rogers, Brown fc Merwin say: "Quietness and demoralization are the promineut features or the iron market here. The financial disturbances in London and New York have produced their natural effect in iron as well as other circles, and for the time being there is almost a total lack of con fidence on the part of consumers. .Many large contracts for raw mateiitl. which were under contemplation late in October, have been either dropped or indefinitely postponed, the result being a fiat market with sales nearlv restricted lo carloads, a few large buyers havs seized the opportunity, however, to pick np joblots, and in certain cases to make running contracts. These are the excep tions, most consumers preferring to take chances and wait till the first of the year to cover the balance of the season's needs. Many leading furnaces North and South have practi cal lv witndrawn from the market, bein un willing to sell at figures mado bv some of the smaller companies pressed for money. These latter have succeeded lu breaking the market, assisted by the financial flurry, but the result has not been to foice promineut standard brands to the same level. Instead, a large num ber have decided to hold their unsold output indefinitely rather than sacrifice. "The outlook is one of uncertainty and seems likely to remain obscure until the monetary situation is on a more easy basis. The heavy consumption, however, is likely to prove a steadying influence." AN INDIFFERENT MAEEST. St, Louis Dealers TTaiting for the Financial Clouds to Roll By. tSrECIAX. TELLGUAU TO THE DISFATCn.1 Sr. Louis. November 2L Rogers. Brown fc Heacbem say: The market is devoid of any in teresting features, and it is hardly to be hoped that active buying will begin until the financial condition of the country is more settled. The consumption of iron is not lessened, but con sumers are indifferent about providing for future wants.

In the lino ot Snnday dinner materials there are few changes in the week past Poultry is coming in freely, and prices are a shade lower in a jobbing way, but retail prices are substan tially as they were last Saturday. The same is true of game. With the near approach of Thanksgiving, poultry and game is booming at the expense of the old reliable meats. It bas become so much the fashion to give thanks over turkey that beef, mutton and pork are forced to the rear in the latter part of Novem ber. In the line ot lake and ocean products demand is in excess of supply. Supply of choice oysters is short, and prices are almost as high In Baltimore as in Puts burg. Prospects are that there will be an advance in prices at an early day. The time is near when the catch of fish will terminate for this season. Supply of white fish, and in tact all kinds excepting herring, has been below demand for some time past. There is little doubt of an advance in the lino of all ocean products in the near future. Vege tables arc dull and slow. All garden products have been begging for buyers in the past week. The only article in country produce line that is active and strong is hen fruit. Fresh nearby eggs are very scarce. Florists report an active demand and upward movement of prices for their goods. Our quotations are advanced in floral lines in accordance with the facts of the case. Following are latest retail prices of market basket materials: Staple Meats.

Too Many Irons in the Fire Cause Much Business Distress. HOW A LUMBER KIXG LOST HIS GEIP No Material Changes in Stock Taints, but the Feel in? Less Bearish. THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE C1TT A hank cashier said yesterday: ""We have bad no business panic, and will not have. Conditions are not favorable. Cap italists will no doubt grip their pocketbooks a little tighter, but there are so many op portunities for prqiUble investment that they will soon come around all right. A few banks which have been free lenders on stock collateral may have to hustle for money to supply their customers, but they will pull through. Pittsburg was never in better shape to resist financial pressure.-All of her industries are driving ahead day and night to fill orders. Besides, she is one of the few creditor cities of the country. Her products ore bringing in money all the time. This will soon relieve any stringency that exists or may arise in the money market. There is no cause for alarm." One Tiling at a Time. A frnitful source of business embarrassment is the attempt of individuals and firms to do too much. In other words, they put so many irons in the fire that some of them are over looked and ruined. This is a good time to in stitute a reform in this matter. If every busi ness man will attend strictly to bis legitimate! calling, no matter what it is, he can bid de fiance to financial flurries and whistle panics down the wind. Indeed, it will be impossible for such things to occur. The danger incurred by attempting too much is forcibly illustrated by" an iucident in the career of R, G. Peters, the Michigan lumber king, who failed for a large amount not long ago. It is well known that Peters had many irons in the fire, that he had interests and partners in nearly all parts ot the country, and that it was impossible for him to give personal attention to all branches ot bis affairs. Some of his partners were the souls of honor and looked after his interests with the same care fulness as their own, but all of tbem were not built that way. One of the partners, it is un necessary to state where located, apparently made up his mind to get all he could out of Peters, and be had a nice plan formed to that end. To carry out his purpose it became necessary to write to another party, and at the same time he wrote that letter he wrote one to Peters. The letters were accidentally placed in wrong envelopes, and Peters received the letter in which was detailed the plan for his robbery and the other fellow received the letter written for Peters' beneht. Peters then realized that bis interests were too widely scattered to give all of them personal attention, and this letter opened his eyes to the fact that he had unfaith ful servants. He found, when too late, that be was too tightly tied np to get loose all at once, and the assignment followed. Business News and Gossip. Mr. Hilands bas sold a house ana lot in Baum's Grove for 8,400. A correspondent wants to know it real estate values have nut reached the top. They have not, and will not so long as demand continues active. Those best informed look for no mate rial advance in ordinary building lots for some time, but choice business and residence sites will command considerably more money next year than at present. It was reported yesterday that an offer of 155,000 had been made by a well-known busi ness man for the Exchange building. Only two building permits were issned yes terdaj one by J. M.

A UTILE TIGHT. No Money to Waite, but Plenty for Legiti mate Purposes. Money was not overbundant yesterday, but bankers reported that they had enough to serve their customers. Outsiders were the only sufferers. It is expected that the lines will bq loosened by next week. Depositing was as heavy as nsual, showing that business is all right. Exchanges were 2.814,617 25, and bal ances 245,215 95. The funding scheme to be recommended by Secretary Windom is said to be the intercon vertible bond plan. This contemplates a new issue of bonds at t per cent, to be sold at par, and redeemable at the will of the bolder. The Secretary is giving the subject serious study to overcome the contraction which might follow heavy investments.

Tho stock mar ket to-day was quite active again and at the same time decidedly strong and even buoyant at times, and the improved temper to the specu lation was continuous throughout the day, the upward movement being subject to onlv slight interruptions. Tho street was certainly more cheerful to-day than it has been in weeks and the improvement was general, extending to all classes of securities, both stocks and bonds. The bulls, for the first time for months, seemed to bave complete control of the market, There was increased buying of both storks and bonds, and the improved condition ot financial affairs in London, together with the positive easr tone given to the money market here, which was es- jiciiiiij uu,ii.,;tuiv;, iu bu-UA wds 4'lluajr, ac counted largely for the prevalent disposition to buy. It was a notable fact that there was scant supply of securities for the first time in months. Money was relatively cheaper than stocks. The news of the day was very favor able, and the utterances of a noted broker, who is supposed to be close to Mr. Gould, on the po sition ot that gentleman upon the market caused a general increase of confidence in the situation, and from those utterances and the news from the West to-day, the next upward movement, which seems to have already begun, will be based upon an advance In railroad rates. A report from London that there is a likeli hood of an increase in the circulation there based upon silver deposited, attracted consider able attention and had a good effect. The bet ter feeling was apparent at the opening, which was made at gains at last night's figures of f romjJi to 1 per cent, and the foreigners were buyers, while there was a marked disposition to purchase for the short account by domestic operators. There was only one weakpointin themarket, and that was Rock Island, which was savagely attacked and depressed from CIJi to 61. the attack being accompanied by a reiteration of the trouble at the passage. The pressure was removed shortly before noon, however, and It later made a sharp advance, leading the entire list, giving the whole affair the look of manipu lation upon which to cover shorts in the gen eral list. The latter did not sympathize to any extent in the drop in Rock Island, but as soon as the pressure was removed from the latter it began to advance immediately. The Gould stocks, the Grangers and specialties of all kinds showed the lead in the upward movement, and there was no real interruption of the advance until the close of business. Slight reactions were frequent, hut each advance carried the list farther in the upward direction, and the final prices are generally at or close to the best of the day. The market closed active and strong. The final changes are invariably in the direction of higher figures and the gains are all large in the active stocks. The most important are Sugar Refineries, 4; Jersey Central, 4M; Northern Pacific preferred, 3; C, C, C. i St. L, 3: Missouri Pacific, 3; Western Union and Chicago Gas, each 2; Lonisville and Nash ville, 2K; Lake Shore, 2: Union Pacific. 1 Lackawanna, 2: Reading. 2i Burlington and Qulncy and Hock Island, eacli28; North western and New England, each 2 per cent, and others smaller amounts. 'The buying or railroad bonds wasn't the least marked feature of the market to-day, and for the first time In weeks the final changes of note are all in the direction of higher figures, the strong tone prevailing from the opening to the close without a break. The dealings were rather larger, amounting to 2.253,000, and ot that amount Northern Pacific 5s furnished 177.000: Atchison incomes. 145,000: Kansas and Texas ls.S124.000, and thelexas Pacific seconds, 111.000. The active issues are materially higher. Northern Pacific 5s advanced , to 82; Ohio Southern 1, to 54; Richmond and West Point 5s Sli, to 62; Kansas and Texas 4 2, to 76; Wis consin Central incomes 24. to 34. The Post says: In the, afternoon the stock market was strong arid higher. Money was plenty and loaned at 3 per cent, and the remark was beard In various quarters that stocks were scarcer thau money. The general expectation to-day is that the bank statement to-morrow will show a grrat improvement, and as the f ireign exchange markets get into a normal condition so that cotton shippers will be able to sell their hills against shipments without paying such heavy discounts, money will be come mure abundant than it has been at any time this year. An index of the extent to which stocks have been bought and paid for outright, and taken away by investors who seldom comeintothestock market, is furnished by the business of two commission bouses who make an exclusive specialty pf buying and sell ing "broken lnts" of stocks viz, in amounts less than 100 shares, and having them trans ferred on the books of the comptnles. The business of these houses indicates that the total amount of "broken lots" transferred to new and comparatively permanent investois in the last two weeks. Is not less than 250,000 shares. These stocks have been paid for in cash and taken out of the street. The following table mows tne prices or active stocks on the .New York Stock Exchange yester day.

DOMESTIC MARKETS. Office of Pittsburg; dispatch, Friday, November 21. 1890. ( Country Produce Jobbing Prices. The egg market shows an npward tendency, and our prices are advanced in accordance with actual sales. Fresh nearby stock can hardly be secured at any price. Eggs that are above suspicion are in demand at more than outside quotations. The approach of Thanksgiving makes extra demands on hen fruit. Creamery butter is in full supply, and present prospects are for lower prices. Price of country butter is only nominal. Nothing but fancy rolls can ba sold. There is an improved demand for New York cheese and prices are firmer. General produce trade shows improvement in the past few days. Potatoes are very firm and choice stock readily sells at outside prices. Fancy apples are also good stock.

Improvement in the Financial Situation Causes a Boom in the Chicago Grain Fit Higher Prices All Along the Line Pork Firm. CHICAGO The entire list of speculative commodities started in open revolt at yester day's weakness, and as a fitting answer to un founded rumors which bad been set afloat after the close of 'Change. The firmness at the opening was addejl ta as the day progressed, and closing prices were about the best of tun day. The great majority of traders were ready to support prices at the opening, even without such encouragement as the news of the day afterward afforded to the market. May wheat, which closed yesterday with sellers at 97JJc, opened excited and irregular with trading all the way from 96J.j97c and there was an up ward shoot immediately to 97c Notwithstanding the heavy failure at Phila delphia, which proved to be more serious than was at first thought, there was more serenity in the financial skies at London and New York than had been seen in a week, and the stock market, while not strong, was devoid of pan icky features. Tho unexpected heaviness of tho buying orders in the market soon created alarm among the shorts, and after May had reached to 97, and bad nlayed for a short time around 7g972c it swirled upward in side of a few minutes to 98c. There was another reaction which forced it back to 98c; and these were the changes during the first half hour. There was no furtuer fluctuation of moment until toward 11 o'clock, when another boom commenced, which only stopped after Wlic bad been paid for some few lots. Those who had short wheat w ere the best and the heaviest buyers, but there was also some good bnymg ou long account. One bouse which has extensive English connections bought freely at from 9710 98c. Purchases of wheat here for export were spread about, but could not be traced to any 'reliable source. The market hardened remarsably, and about half an hour from the close the price bad advanced to99Jc. During the greater part ot the session December followed May at a discount of 7c but the trading has now centered in the more re mote delivery. There vas no abatement of the strength of the market. Some sales of De cember were made in the list, and of May 1. The opening price or corn was veiy much mixed. There were sellers at 51c with no buyers in the neighborhood of such offers, and while buyers and sellers were trading at the same moment at bKiv across the pit. There was a sale or two at 51c, but the great hulk of the business at the opening was at 51c It Immediately advanced to 52c, and during the first half hour moved up and down several times between 51JJc and 62c The market strengthened in sympathy with wheat and un der the action of the shorts, who came in very freelv, more especially toward the close. The highest figures of the day were made close to tlm end of the session. They sold at52 62c. The closing price shows an advance of 1c since jesterday. The buying of Pardridge and Hutchinson was the most noticeable feature at thastart. Pardridge was supposed to be covering shorts. Hutchinson became a seller on the first advance, but changed from one side to the other many times in the course of the day. Oats were strrnger and higher. Opening sales were at K??ac decline. Price's soon be gan to move up, .uid advanced lKlic, yielded a little, but closed strong at full outside figures, and at an advance of lc over yesterday. Pork Quite a good trade was reported, and prices rnleil Irregular. Onenlng sales were mea ger at 2KQ5c decline, but prices gradually ad vanced 3035c Later a drooping feeling set in, accompanied with a reduction ot 1520c, but rallied again and closed firm. Lard Considerable interest was manifested and a larger business was transacted. Early in the day the feeling was stronger, and prices rallied 7Kl"c, bnt later declined 25c Near the close the feeling was stronger, and prices advanced to outside figures and closed steady. Short Rib Sides Trading was quite active and prices fluctuated considerably. Early in the session the feeling was stronger, and prices gradually advanced 1012c Later prices set tled back again 57c with fair trading.
