IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Local Quotations Remain tho Same,
But tlie Market is Heavy.
RUHOKS OF CUTTING UNFOUNDED.
Business Practically at a Standstill in the
Southern Field.
HEPORTS FEOH THE LEADING CENTERS
Quotations of iron and steel stand as last
week, but markets are dull and slow. Prices
had been dowu to bard pan before the late
financial flurry, and while markets are
weak and transactions light it cannot be
said that there is any change in prices. Or
dinarily at this time or the year markets are
slow, and this year the dull situation has
been aggravated by the tightness of the
market. There are rumors of cutting, but
holders of standard brands of raw iron show
no disposition to concede. Only tbose whose
necessities compel them to da it are sell
ing below our quotations. There is little
likelihood of an active movement
in raw irons before the first of the year. The
demand lor manufactured iron is still active,
but this condition of things cannot long
continue, unless there should come an im
proved demand lor pig iron. Steel nails
and rails are quiet, but prices remain as
quoted a week ago. Muck bar is slow and
quotations are reduced in accordance with
tacts. Blooms and billets also give signs of
weakening, but prices remain as last week.

rFrrrTAi. Tri.r-or.AX to tsi bisfatctm
New Yoek, November 2S. The JTron Age
quotes the iron and metal markets as follows:
Very little has developed during the past week
to materially change the aspect of affairs.
Manufacturers have orders on their books to
carry them into nest year. On the whole the
curnt demand for manufactured iron and
steel continues fair, but for crude material it is
cntirelv absent.
American Pig Sales agents report the mar
ket very dull, with very few sales. We quo to
S17glSforNo. 1 foundry, Si6gl6 50 for No. 2
fonndrv ar.d S1515 50 for gray forge, standard
Northern brands, tidewater delivery. We

1G 13. and No. 3, S14 5015.
bpieceleisen and Ferro Manganese Very lit
tle bu-iuess has been done. One moderate lot
of ierro was scld for St. Louis delivery, to be
shipped via New Orleans. We continue to
quote spiegel S303U 50 and ferro J6G6S.
i Billets and Rods A weak spot seems to have
developed at Pittshurs. from whence offerings
of an outside lot have been made to a consumer
in tins market at S3, equal to J2SG0 delivered.
Little is doing in domestic wire rods. A lot of
lnreini rois has been offered in the market at
Jliwithou. rinding takers. The usual quota
tion is 115034373.
fateel Kails Only a few moderate sales have
been made by Eastern mills, who show a ten
dencv to hold off, pending the negotiations for
a closer understanding now under way. It is
reported here that Western mills have secured
orders for about 4S.OO0 tons. We continue to
quote standard sections, nominally, E3 5C29 00
at Eastern mills.

steel at 4.50c.
ALMOST AT A STANDSTILL.
Cash Orders Few and Very Far Between In
the South.
Biexinghax, Ala, November 2S. De
moralized but faintly expresses the present
condition of tho iron trade in this city. Tho
fact is. trade is almost at a standstill. Cash
orders are lew and far between, and fur
nacemen prefer holding their iron to selling it
for any man's paper while the financial flurry
continues. The assignment of the United
States Rolling Stock Company last week
caught several furnaces in this district. The
companv's plants at Decatur and Auniston,
Ala., were supplied with iron from this dis
trict. 1 he failure of a big concern like this
lias alarmed the furnacemen. and they are
taking no risks on small concerns. If all other
conditions should change for the better there
will be little improvement in the iron trade
here until the general financial situation is
better.
Right along with the financial trouble comes
more labor troubles, and a week from to-day
half or two-thirds of the furnaces in this dis
trict may be out of blast. The coal miners de
manded more money last week, their demands
were refused and tbey threaten to strike De
cember 1. At some of the mines the rank and
rile of the men are opposed to a strike at this
time, but the leaders have ordered them out.
The situation is unsettled, but if a strike oc
curs it will no doubt be short-lived. The plan
of the leaders is to have every miner
in the btate go out. They are not
well enough organized for this, and if
one man returns to work others will
follow. The operators do not know what the
men will do, but most of them are getting
ready for a strike. The De Bordelehin Coal
and Iron Company have ordered the fires
banked at their coke ovens and are preparing
to shut down their six furnaces if the strike oc
curs. Furnacemen aro nt kicking acaitist a
strike just no. In the present condition of
trade they would prefer to have their plants
out of blast, and if the miners strike the fur
naces will not bo started up again until there
ia home improvement in the iron trade.
ACTING WITH CAUTION.
No Change of Material Consequence in Iron
at Cincinnati.
CWCxnitati, November 2S. Rogers. Brown
Co. say: The review of tho situation a week
ago applies very closely to that of to-day. Ex
treme caution prevails ic all movements, both
on the part of buyers and sellers. Many buy
ers seem to think that the pig iron market, like
the stock market, has no bottom. Those better
informed, however, know that before the
financial troubles began iron was practically
selling at cost, and that cost in this country
cannot be further materially reduced. If
raoney trouble temporarily force a lower level
of values there will be a widespread stoppage
cf furnaces that will quickly prepare the way
1 pr an upward movement by heavily reducing
the output.
Some round orders have been placed during
the week, and in one or two caes special terms
were made for immediate delivery and spot
cash. Shipments continue to go forward
heavily on old orders. Collections are tairly
good, considering the circumstances. Taking
it at large, the iron trade is believed to be in a
found and healthy condition.
WAITING FOE CLEAH EK1ES.
XJttlo Change in the Iron Situation
at Chicago.
rfrrrtAt TXtrnnAM to tus dupatcb.-.
CniCAOO. November 2& Rogers, Brown &
Merwin saj: Tho week Just closed has been
broken by a holiday. There has. however, been
slight change from the ruling conditions re
ported a week ago. Little business of any
kind is going on in any raw material, though
heavy consumption still continues for
tbe " time being, Buying seems to
have been almost entirely given up, carload
orders being the main feature. Consumer,
large and small, are preferring to merely cover
their immediate wants. The financial situation
is the one now claiming prominence and this is
being largely watched by both producers and
consumers. A feeling of uncertainty prevails
in all sections, though it is generally conceded
that the worst has been passed and that an
easier money market is likely to prevail by the
first or the j car if not somewhat sooner.
The numerous recent failures in financial and
commercial circles have fortunately bad but
little effect on legitimate business enterprises,
but they have produced a feeline of conserva
tism in all lines. It is a difficult matter to state
where prices are ranging, as so few sales of any
account have been made. Standard quota
tions, honeter,. remain unchanged from last
week, though some companies badly in need of
money are here and there to be found willing
to make concessions.
N0 BUYERS VISIBLE. '
Transactions Few and of Trillin;
Impor-
tance at Philadelphia.
rSPECIAI. TKLEGUAX TO THE OISfATCn.l
Philadelphia, November 28L The week
just opened has been one of unusual dullness
in the iron trade. For tho present no one
seems to want to buy except to a very limited
extent, and sellers are making no effort to
force material on unwilling buyers.
In a general way business has been
dono without much change from quoted
rates, hut transactions have been so few and of
such trilling importance as to be hardly neces
sary to establish new figures. Pig iron is in a
waiting condition, watching new developments,
with verv little present activity. Prices aro
practically the same as last week, which for
deliveries in buyer's vards are as follow:
Standard Pennsylvania No. 1, $18 C0!1S 50;
No. 2. $17 00017 50: medium Pennsvlvanla. No.

mer nig is very quiet at 518 00S51S 50 at
furnace. Muck bars aro not much in
demand. Quotations range from i20 25
629 75 delivered. Bar iron is steady with a
general good demand for small lots. Prices
are nominally unchanged at $1 b5l B0 at inte
rior points. Skelps are active and prices
steady at from Jl 952 05, delivered, for

Scarcity of Cars Causes Irregularity in Fill

IKrECtAt, TELEOKAM TO THE DtSFATCrt.t
St. LOUIS, November 23. Rogers, Brown fc
Meachera say: Very little business is being
done. Iron on old contracts is coming forward
irregularly on account ot the scarcity of cars.
The expected strike of tbe Southern coal
miners does not alarm consumers, although
some furnaces are unwilling to sell ahead.
Prices are nominally unchanged, but conces
sions are made on special lots.

THE MAEKET BASKET.
Cost of Sunday Dinner as Before Grapes
Waning Eggs Scarce.
There have been few changes In the line of
market basket filling the past week. In fruit
and vegetable lines prices remain essentially
the same as last Saturday. Tomatoes and lima
beans are things of the past, and grapes soon
will be. Hot-houso tomatoes and cucumbers
are on the'stalls at prices which would make
sad inroads on the average pockethook. With
tomatoes at 50c a quart and cucumbers at 25s
apiece, the average citizen must of necessity
abstain. Mushrooms are also to be had, but. at
1 per ft, only those with whom cost is no item
can indulge. A few orders from hotels for
Thanksgiving reached to tire or six pounds.
Family orders seldom co above one pound.
Price of poultry, eggs and butter varies very
little from last Saturday. Strictly fresh near
bv eggs are hard to be had at any price.
Florists report a good week. Society is lively
at this tim'c, and demand for.floral decorations
has been guod the past week. Thanksgiving
made special demands, and the matrimonial
fever seems to be raging of late. Recent frosts
have stimulated prices In floral lines.
Butchers arc like tbe Mcdes and Persian,
rarely changing rules, whatever tbe ups and
downs of live stock, and price of staple meats
remain as it has been for the past year or two.
Tenderloin steaks and rib roasts command the
same price when beeves are 1 75 per cwt. as
when they were $5 to ST.
Following are latest retail prices of market
basket materials:

SCHENLEY PROPERTY.
Ko General Improvements Until All
the Leases Expire.
FLATS AEE WISHING THEIR WAY.
A nainess Man Points Oat a Good Featnre
of. Seal Estate Investment.
THE KEWS AND GOSSIP OP TI1E CITI
Speaking of the Schenley estate yesterday,
a member of the firm of W. A. Herron &
Sons said: "We are doinr; the same with it
as with other properties under our control
sending out the -usual notices. So far as
improvements are concerned we can do
nothing "until the leases expire. The
longest run until 1897. By that time Mrs.
Schenley will, no doubt, have matured her
plans for the treatment of the property.
Meanwhile we will keep up repairs and collect
rents."
Winning Their Way.
Apartment houses have for many years been
a feature of New York and Chicago, but their
introduction here is so recent that they are
still in tho experimental stage. That they are
growing in popularity, however, is shown by
the avidity with which they aro picked up as
soon as completed. Every house of this kind
that nas been finished is occupied or engaged,
and tho demand is.unsupplied. Two out Fifth
avenue, near Dinwiddle street, will be roady
for occupancy by the first of tho year. Those
on Colwell street, near Vine, will be completed
about the same time. It is likely that quite a
number will be erected next year. One ot
seven stories has been planned for Allegheny,
a site for which lias been secured on North
avenue. Economy of ground is a strong point
in their favor.
On the Safe Side.
The following observations by a successful
business man will meet with general accept
ance: "It is a noticeable fact that tho man
who takes to real estate, cither as an invest
ment or as a safe way to husband bis earnings,
is generally counted among the winners. He
may not be able to count his gains with tbe
same frequency as docs the man who speculates
in stocks, neither is he compelled to estimate
losses as often, nor is he so frequently worried
with financial embarrassment. The character
istics of tbe two men are entirely different.
There is an air of solid comfort and equanimity
about the man who owns lauds and bouses,
while the stock speculator's face and manner
are indicative of his extra hazardous calling."
Ground for Encouragement.
That the business affairs ot the country are
prosperous and on a solid footing is shown by
the fact that the number of failures so far this
year is nearly 2,000 less than during the same
period of lb$9. This should reassure the timid
and seal the lips of the croaker, whose per
verted vision prevents him seeing anything but
disaster. But it matters little what he says so
loag as facts are against him.
Business Xew s and Gossip.
Apartment houses promise to become as
much of a feature in Pittsburg as they are in
other cities. It is only a question of time.
Not a few Wilklnsburgers had to use wood
or coal to cook their Thanksgiving dinners,
owing to the scarcity of gas.
A gentleman who made a trip up the Monon
gahela as far as Elizabeth on Wednesday, ex
pressed surprise at tho number and extent
of tbe improvements be saw along the route.
As be expressed It: There is practically an un
broken line of mills and dwellings between tbe
two points, and prosperity is visible on every
hand.
According to a Chicago gentleman, who was
in this city yesterday, real estate there is
stronger than before the break in stocks, many
new investors having entered the market. The
same is true of Pittsburg.
Hunters are doing a paying business at Edge
wood and Snissvaie by bagging barnyard
pheasants. Citizens are to take measures to
slop tho slaughter.
Business of the Schenley estate will hereafter
be transacted at the Fourth avenue office ot
W. A. Herron & Sons, which has been en
larged and remodeled for that puroose.
A meeting of tho stockholders of the Phoenix
Glass Company will be held at its office. Ho. 43
Sixth avenue, on Wednesdav next.
Several bearish rumors affecting local stocks
circulated on Fourth aveaue jestcruay, but
nobody paid much atten'.ion to them. As the
almanacs say: Lookout for roorbactts about
this time.
Arrangements are being made for the dedi
cation of the new Masonic Temple in the East
End. The ceremony will take place early in
January.
The usual volume of business was transacted
yeterday, showing that people are keeping a
stiff upper lip. Bankers reported money enough
to take care of every important interest.

little was offered at the figures named, showing
that holders bad not altogether lost their beads.
Tho other notably weak features were Electric

while weak, underwent no material change.
'At first call 15 shares of Chartiers Gas brought
20. 85 Electric 2lo"Philadelph.la Gas 2

NEW YORK-'STOCKS.
'Twas Nip and Tnck Between Balls and
Bears Yesterday, With Closing Prices
Slightly Favoring the Bulls
Large Early Advance.
New York. November 2S. The stock mar
ket to-day was irregular In its movements, and
while showing great strength in spots in tho
forenoon, displayed a reactionary tendency
later in the day, and tbo early improvement
was nearly neutralized, leaving prices but little
better as a rule than thoso of Wednesday
afternoon.
At the opening the bears were Inclined to be
come aggressive, the traders following suit,
invited by the comparative quietness of the
speculation. In several stocks the lifting
power was so great that tbe operation of the
bearish contingent was arrested immediately,
and one of the sharpest advances seen since
prices reached their lowest point took place
Sugar had opened off 1 per cent on the rumor
that a large refiner had refusod to deposit his
certificates hut on the denial of the story it
shot up 0 per cent. r
Rock Island, in conjunction with several
others, was lending at a premium in the stock
loan crowd. It shot up from 70Jito751, fol
lowed closely by Burlington, the other Grangers
and soma specialties. The buying, however,
reached the limit quickly, and prices becan to
sag away before noon, when money stiffened
up tho rate on call, rising to 8 per cent, while
many realizations occurred on the advance of
tbe forenoon.
The bears again came to the front, and prices
continued to tall all afternoon, Lackawanna
being the special favorite in the selling for
some time. It yielded over 4 per cent, and ral
lied only a littlo over 1. The downward move
ment came to an end in the last hour, and,
while there were some advances in the last few
minutes, the market closed quiet and only
steady, and most of the .list at but slight
changes from the opening prices.
The final changes aie generally in the direc
tion of higher prices, and Sugar is up 2: Rock
Island, 2; Burlington, lj, and Jersey Central,
1 per cenc, while the only important decline is
1 in Lackawanna.
liailioad bonds were still fairly active, the
sales of all issues reaching $1,677,000, though a
few issues were specially prominent. The
market was steady almost throughout, and the
final changes are generally Insignificant, with a
majority of advances. Richmond and West
Point Trust 5s rose 2 toS, and others generally
fractional amounts.
Tbe -Pojf sas: It was generally acknowl
edged that the largo advance in prices of stocks
in the llrst hour and a half to-day was some
thing of a surprise to people who thought they
bad canvassed the whole situation on Wednes
dav. Tlie followinc table shows the prices or active
stocks oa the New York Stock Exchange yester
day. Corrected daily for THi Dispatch by

Feiday, November 28, 1890. J
Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Tbe lull which commonly follows a holiday
was reported by commission men. The day
preceding Thanksgiving was lively enough to
afford a rest for the day following. The grape
season is close to its end, and quality of stock
now offered is not mncb good. As crapes wane,
demand for apples and tropical fruits shows
signs of improvement. Fancy apples are firm
at outside quotations. There is also an im
proved demand for choice potatoes and quota
tions are slightly advanced. The supply ot
strictly fresh eges is limited. Nearby stock is
practically out of the market. Laving bens in
this section have certainly lost their grip.
There is a slightly improved demand for coun
try butter ot late, and good stock finds ready
sale. Common aud low grade stuck is still dull
and slow.

Groceries
New Orleans molasses have advanced at
sources of supply, and it is only a question of
short time when prices will go up here. Coffees
are still firm, and sugars easy. Demand for
canned fruits is slow, as it always is at this
time of the year. Movement of general gro
ceries is still active, but collections are slow by
reason ot tight money market.

MARKETS BY WISE.
Wheat Moves Up Early, bnt Settles Back
and Closes at a Loss Other Cereals
Also Let Go Provisions
Join tho Procession.
CHICAGO The opening prices in all the
speculative commodities were without change
from those prevailing prior to the Thanks
giving interruption of business. An advance
in the first f ew minutes gave the bulls some rea
son to think this side was likely to maintain its
recent ascendency, but early appearances were
deceitful, and in the end there was universal
weakness and lower prices. Wheat closed lc
lower, and corn and oats c lower; and the sev
eral articles on tbe provision list also made a
slight loss, compared with Wednesday's closing
quotations.
With nothing In the wheat situation to cause
any change in speculative sentiment since
Wednesday afternoon, tbe price immediately
on the opening indicated that none bad taken
place. May wheat, which closed on the after
noon preceding the holiday .at SI 02, opened
at about the same price this morning. There
were some sales at SI 02, but tbe offerings being
light a hardening tendency developed, which
had its acknowledgement In an immediate ad
vance to SI 023s. Trading was not very ani
mated, and while no cause was apparent why
there should be a decline, there were no new
developments tending forcibly in tbe other
direction. The local sales, however, were
heavier than looked for, but tbe increase was
not sufficient to call for more than passing re
mark. After tbo price of May wheat had wavered
for a time around SI O201 02 there.was an
advance to SI 02 on reported sales of 25,000
bushels of, whot to Buffalo millers and the
chartering of vessels for the shipment of 125.000
bushels. The improvement was of very short
duration, however. Uneasiness was created by
the freedom with which December was being
offered and the wide berth given to that de
livery by the speculators, as evidenced by 1 ts
increaslne discount. Such sales as were ef
fected early in tbe session were at 7c under
tbe prices, for which there at the same time ap
peared to be plenty of buyers for May delivery.
This lack of demand for what will be cash
wheat Monday morning had its effect, and a
sudden decline to SI 01. which took place
about 12 o'clock, was due to this cause.
Tbe advance in railroad freights has neces
sarily lessened the selling value of flour at
Western raillinz centers, and proportionately
reduced the price which millers can pay for
wheat, Tbe price of wheat broke to SI 01 or
Ic below the resting figures un Wednesday.
The difference between tbe prices and May de
liveries lessened as the session advanced, and
toward tbe end was tbe carrying charge. Tbe
wheat weakened still further in the last few
minutes, and prices were at their lowest at the
close. May wheat rested at SI 01 and Decem
ber was nominally worth 93c.
Corn was firm when wheat was firm and con
tinned its sympathy when the reverse was ap
plicable to the latter cereal. The opening
ptice for May was 54Kc, and it advanced dur
ing the first half hour to 51c Owing to tbe
cause already referred to, there was a gradual
weakening, which was most pronounced close
to the end, and dnring which a decline to 53c
took place, the closing quotation being 53L-ol
51c Hutchinson was credited with selling
freely, and there appeared to be no snpport to
prices except what came from shorts. There
was much more putting out of further short
lines, however, than covering of those previ
ously existing. The local receipts amounted to
155 carloads.
Oats were fairly active for May. but near de
liveries were neglected. Tbo weakness in other
grains and increased offerings by longs pro
duced a decline of c and tbe market closed
quiet at almost insido prices and about the
same as on Wednesday;
Pork Trading was moderately active, and
tbe feeling was somewhat unsettled. Prices
fluctuated considerably. Opening prices were
made at 2J5c decline, and prices rallied 12$
15c Later, prices gradually receded 15Q17c,
closing at about inside figures.
Lard A fairly active trade was reported and
the feeling was somewhat nervous and un
settled. Prices ruled 205c higher early in the
day, but gradually seitled back 55)c and
closed quiet.
Short rib slde Trading was moderately
active. Prices ruled 2J05c higher early in the
day, hut later tho advance was lost. The
market closed steady at about inside figures.

FIGHTING CHANCE TOE IrTGAIXS.
Republicans Discover a Method of Getting
a Majority in the Legislature.
Topeka, November 28. An interesting
complication has arisen in connection with
the election oi a United States Senator to
succeed Senator Ingalls, and if the plan of
action proposed by the Republicans is suc
cessfully, carried out it would seem that the
Senator may succeed himself. An ap
plication has been made to tbe Supreme
Court to compel the State Board
of Canvassers to give certificates oi election
to 19 delegates who were elected under the
provisions of the Constitution which says
that each county which has 25(1 voters is en
titled to a representative. The Constitution
at the same time limits the nucber of mem- a
bers to 125, so that in order to seat tbe 19
delegates from the sparsely settled counties
it would be necessary to drop an equal nam- ?
ber of members-elect from the more p'P'i
lons counties.
If the Court issues the mandamus an-1 th
19 delegates are seated they will vote lor
Ingalls as they are so pledged, which would
give them S3 votes on joint ballot, the num
ber to elecL If they are not seated and Senator
Ingalls is defeated, the plan of tbe Repub
licans is to contest the election of bis sue
cesslul opponent in the United States Sen
ate. on the ground that the delegates were)
entitled to tbeir seats, and that their votei
would have elected him.
