in the Iron Market.

Lifeless Condition.
STATE OF FOREIGN METAL MARKETS
rsrECIAL TrXEOHAit TO THE DISrATCH.l
2EX YOKK, Dec 4. The Iron Age of
this date quotes the iron and metal markets
as follows:
The principal feature in the markets is
the general attitude taken by the railroads
in either delaying the payment for pur
chases of material made or asfcing for the
deferring of deliveries. This is true even of
the strongest lines and may be partially ex
plained by the fact that the majority ot
them must bo accumulating funds to meetpay
ments of interest on bonds due in January.
The prospect, therefore. Is that the month of
December will be unusually aull. so far as new
business 13 concerned.
American rig Hie market is very quiet, but
fairlj steadv. In spite of tho strike in the B11
rcingbain district, we learn that Southern gray
force bis been offered a low as S9 75 at fur

gel, the market is absolutely lifeless. In fen n.
tlierc are reports ot very low offerings 02 50

iness might be done.
Billets and rods It is reported that several
thousand tons or foreign billets havo been
bought for re export in mannfactured form at
pr.vate terms. It is stated that with the pres
ent drawback of S9;er cent ucli billets cost
the mill inside of t.25.
Steel Hails The market i absolutely lifeles.
not a single transaction of any consequence
having been 1 eported during the week. While
we do not hear ot the canceling of any con
tract, deliveries are being deferred in a num
ber of eae The principal trouble now seems
10 be the difhcultv experienced in obtaining
mone. Collections are said to be very poor,
and some nf the rail mills have been stacking
nn rails in their iard rather than let them
go OMt of their hand-. The rail department of
the Bethlehem Company has been closed flora,
and we understand ihat the Pennsylvania Com-
I1
any will stop in January for extensive repairs,
he ce-otiations carried un among the Eastern
mills luo no vet led to any conclusion. We
understand that tho hrt step m them was to
be the purchase of une mill
Kail fas temngs Practically no business what
oter is doin,r, and as in rail-, the mills are asked
to extend tune of pamcnt. The market is
weaker and ma be quoted nominally. Angles.

Tlie Car Famine in the Coke Iteglon Is
TVorso Than Ever Operators ltlowing
Out Their Ovens as a Means of Belief
Decrease in Shipments.
;f rKCIAL TlilQBiJI TO TOT DISPATCH.!
Scottsdale, Dec 4 The coke market is
tottering along, under more afflictive condi
tions than ever. Within the past week it has
developed that 'instead of a perceptible im
provement in the car supply, !t has grown de
cidedly worse and with evidence of a contin
uance of the decline. The damage Already
done by this car dearth is irreparable. There
is not the slightest indication apparent for its
abatement. Operators and railroad com
panies have been centralizing their
efforts to wipe out this seriously
disturbing factor, but their efforts have been
fruitless. Manv of the works this and last
week were unable to secure a car some days,
and in consequence their entire output was
piled on the yards. The railroad companies
havo been making numerous promises for a
change for the better in shipping facilities, but
just as often have they failed to materialize.
The companies mean well, as the car troubles
are bothering them as much as tho coke com
panies. Their equipments, however, are not
equal to the requirements. Recruits were
promised when the lake coal trade closed, but
again failed to connect. The requirements of
the coke region is about 6,800 cars, perhaps a
couple of hundred cars more, and as evidence
of the deterioration, last Tuesday but SO cars
were received for Western trade, in
stead of COO, the number required.
This scarcity of cars will inevitably lead to
undesired results. This week the intention of
of a number of the coke companies is an
nounced to blow out a certain perccntacc of
their ovens as a medium of lelief. Tho trick
ComiMiivhas given notice that it will shut
down L315 ovens, distributed as follows: 101 at
Mammoth, 70 at Wynn. 80 at Eazle, 255
at Standard. 121 at Tiptop, J0U at
Trotter, 82 at Adelaide, 54 at Leitb,
SOOatLeiseneringNo. 1, 82 at lielsenerlng No.
2, and 1C3 at Lciscnering. The same company
lias cIo?ed the Frick plant of 150 ovens Henry
Clay ot 120. Foundry ot 87. and all but 20 ovens
ont of a plant of 165 ovens at Morgtn's, on
account of an epidemic among the
stock. Following the Frick Company,
the Schoonmaker Company has served notices
that it will blow ont 25 per cent of its plants,
apportioned as follows: One hundred and eleven
at Redstone. 60 at Youngstown, 98atJimrown
and Sterling, 75 at United, 75 at Central, 33 at
Mutual. Total. 457.
The Hecla Company, on the Sewickley
branch, operating 572 ovens, has given notice
that it will close down 25 per cent of
the number at the expiration of six
das. That will be 14,300 ovens.
The Southwest Coal and Coke Company has
likewise given notice that it will bank 23 per
cent of the whole nnmbcr ot ovens, which is
1,151. This means the blowing out of about 2S8
ovens. The McClure Company is theonlylarge
company in the region that has not given
notice to blow out ovens up to this
writing. The same company is operating
its works six davs per week right along. The
restriction of production by the blowing out of
the manv ovens mentioned above will materially
reduce the stock piles and prevent the
fuitbcr accumulation of coke. No change
has been noticeable in the demand.
Tho urgent demands of furnaccmen
and other consumers are being met
with promptitude, or iu accordance with the
state of transportation. An operator said to
day: "The situation is becoming more ana more
critical. The suspension of all these ovens is
due principally to the car famine. Would not
be surprised to witness more suspensions, as
they have been under contemplation for some
time. Don't think the demand is lessening.
When jou get a full run of car these days on
are in luck."
On the heels of the inadequate car supply
comes the kicking of furnace men on the
prices, and a reported combine of them to se
cure a reduction. Sufficient to say, they will be
dome well to accomplish that end this year.
Works continue to operate six days per week.
The idle list of ovens in the region, which now
numbers about 1,800. will be swelled to about
3,500 next week. 1 be Charlotte mine here is
still extinct. The McClure Company is firing
up its new Lemont plant of 300 ovens. There
are no labor troubles to mar trade in this
reirion. The Mammoth plant of 500 ovens is
again in blast.
Shipments last week fell away below the
previous week. Shipments averaged 925 cars
per dav, as against l.lol cars ot the week be
fore. The decrease for the week was 1,235 cars.
Following is the record of consignments To
points West of Putsburz. 3,450 cars; to Pitts
burg and m er points, 1,'JOO cars; to points East
of Pittsburg. bOO cars, total 5,550 cars. This was

Drjgoods.
New Yobk, Dec 4. There was a little more
do.nsr in drvgoods of a miscellaneous character,
chiefly for near wants. The market continued
devoid of special interest in the way of new
business or prices. Cold weather has stimu
lated some improvement in the demand for
woolen fabrics, and a better feeling results in
regard to clothing woolens, which are having
wider attention in a quiet way.

There was considerable quiet talk in cer
tain quarters yesterday to the effect that
one ot the railroads is negotiating for a big
slice of ground to enable it to increase its
facilities for handling its growing traffic
The amount of money involved is not much
less than that recently invested by the Bal
timore and Ohio at Glenwood. The, gentle
man from wbom the information was obtained
said the transaction was not far enough along
for particulars to be given out.
Homes for the People.
Extensive inquiry among real estate deal
ers, sellers and buyers, shows that the de
mand for building lots and moderate sized
houses is active and rather 011 the increase.
This is dne to the approach ot the renting sea
son. A great many who will change quarters
next April will move into housas of their own.
The list of iionse owners nest year will be ma
terially increased.
High-priced houses are rather slow, showing
that this class of improvements has kept
abreast of the demand, if not a little in ad
vance of it, but tho avidity with which small
dwellings are picked up demonstrates to a
mathematical certainty that there is a shortage
in the supply. It is to these that capitalists
and builders should turn their attention. They
should rotneinber that there are people wbo
cannot aftord to live on the fashionable ave
nues. A brownstone front is a luxury; a com
fortable little home a necessity.
Half a dozen gentlemen wbo operate exten
sively in real estate met by chance iu a Fourth
avenue office yesterday, ind discussed the
buildingoutluoK for next year. The conclusion
reached as that it would be on a larger scale
than evor before. One of them said: "X am
cognizant of plans for about 400 houses, to be
commenced next spring. Besides, two com
panies, lately formed, propose putting up
about 150 each. Here are 700 honses that may
bo counted upon with considerable confidence.
Other companies and syndicates aro talked of,
and some of them will no doubt enter the
field. Individual builders will certainly do
their part. It is safe to say there are 1,000 new,
houses in sight."
It has been an open secret for some time that
Mr. Andrew Carnegie proposes to give Pitts
burg a lift by building a larg number of
bouses. The gentleman above quoted, said he
bad been informed that Mr. Camecie would
begin unerations next year In the Nineteenth
ward. "William riinn and C. L. Jlagee were
also mentioned as prospective builders of niote
or less magnitude.

Total sales of storks on call yesterday were
230 sharps against l,21t the previous day. The
decline in business knows three things that
confidence has been practically restored, that
weak holders have realized and that about all
the orders to "buy on slumps" have been filled.
There were no material price changes. State
ments respecting the condition of Philadelphia
Gas and Electric, alttoueh favorable, failed to
strengthen those interests In tho estimation of
buyers, and both submitted to concessions.
The Tractions were fractionally stronger. Bids,

Market TTealc With a Slight Reaction for tho
Better Just IBelore the Close
Union Pacific and Coal
Lists ijuffer Most.
New Yoek. Dec. C The financial situation
still continues very unsatisfactory both in Wall
street and the couatvy at large, and buying for
the long account, especially upon margin, is
very little Indulged in at present, the best ad
vice of the brokersbeing to await such time
wheu there will be a sufficiency ot time money
to bo bad to insure the ability to carry stocks
for a reasonable length of tune. The difficul
ties in business now Sbem to be in the mercan
tile community and not in Wall street, and
to-daj's failure was not without its iufluenco
upon the course of prices in the stock market.
Things, however, are being adjusted to the
chanced order of the situation as rapidly as
possible.
On the street the monetary situation is some
what improved, in so far as loans are easy to
obtain, and no immediato squeeze is deemed
possible, while prices have asain reached a
point where the public is tempted to buy. As
the situation now Is, the only time that stocks
can be bought is hen the bears are hammer
ing the .market. When the market advances,
prices frequently show differences of as much
as 1 percent between sales.
The most encouiaging news of the day was
that from abroad, ;md it showed that the situa
tion there was so much improved that the Bank
of Encland reduced its rate of discount from
6 to 5 per cont, while prices of American stocks
were all higher. The domestic advices, how
ever, were not so encouraging, and the decrease
In the earnings ot tho Union Pacific was an in
fluential factor in the course of prices.
The opening of the market was mado at
higher prices under tho influence of the news
from the other places, but tho buying move
ment had no life, and the bears and the traders
were soon enabled by severo pressure of short
stocks, concentrated at certain points in the
list, to change the temper of the speculation
again, and.af ter the first few minute;.' dealings,
weakness was the ruling feature in the market
until the final half hour, when covering of
shorts put out at higher prices gave some sup.
port to the list aud caused a slight reaction
from the Ion est of the diy.
Union Pacific was early chosen to bear the
brunt of the attack, and a los of over 3 per
cent was Dorn by that stock. Northern Pacific
preferred, St. Paul. Rock Island. Missouri Pa
cific, New Englaud and the coal stocks wore
also marked by the bears, and all suffered ma
terial set-backs ibefore the close of business.
The failure of the companies to advance the
prices of coal was used against the coal stocks
as a virtual reduction, but only Lackawanna
and Jerscv Central felt the pressure to any
considerable extenr.
The unlisted department and the general list
were quite neglected, and the inactive shares
showed no feature of interest throughout the
Hntr tlilr plinniroQ in nnnraflnn, halnrf.m.ll It,
j all cases, though .following the lead ot the
active stocks, ineciose was quiet and fairly
steady at a sligbt .reaction from the Ion est
prices. The final losses of note comprise Union
Pacific, 2; WheelingandLake Eric prefened.
1; Jersej Centnl, 2: Missouri Pacific, 1;
Now England. IJi, and Lackawanna and Su
Paul each 1 per cent.
Railroad bonds felt the influence of the
weakness in shares to-day to a greater extent
than usual of late, anil while the s-iles of all
issnes reached only 1,170,009, the final losses in
many of the more active bonds were Hrge.
'Hie market showed consideiable strength in
the forenoon, but later gao way rapidly.
Among the most Important losses, St. Paul. If.
and D. 5s lost 2 at 100; New York, Lackawanna
and Westerned. 2Ji at 10C: Milwaukee and
, - at- Ava; x-msuurg ana
at.Jf: Richmond and West
Western lsS.
Point trust 5s. 2 at 64: Wabash debentures,
class B. 3 at 30, aud La Clcde Gas lsts, 2 at 72$.
Tbe JPotl says: Exchance was again reduced
another half cent on the pound hero this morn
ing, which was believed to indicate tbe buying
of some Mocks here yesterday for London ac
count. This morning also there was some mod
erate buying ot Rt. Paul and a few other stocks
for London account, but the market here is too
narrow jet and confined to exclusively to tbe
board room tr4dors to be moved much by tbe
ceneral improvement in tho foreign situation.
The general public and the larger speculators,
who are never seen in the Exchance room, are
holding aloof, jet with their attention fixed on
the monetary situation throughout the coun
trj. and the boardroom traders were merely
watching each other. If any man tries to sell a
few hundred shares of stocks they understand
him, and "take the market away from him;" If
be tries to buy a few bmndred they bid the
price up on liiui.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Potatoes and apples are tending upward.
There is a scarcity of choice potatoes in this
market, and outside jobbing prices are up to
$1 25 per bushel, which means that the con
sumer must pay close to SI 50 per bushel, the
highest price for many years. A Libertystreet
commission man reported sales of ten barrels
of apples yesterday at- !5 per barrel. It has
been many years since potatoes or apples were
as high as they aro at this time. In both lines
onr markets are dependent nn the West for
supplies. Through Western Pennsylvania and
Eastern Ohio tbo apple and potato crop has
been almost a failure this season, btrictly
fresh nearby eggs are still very scarce, and for
tbe few offered outside prices are easily ob
tained. Poultry is iu over-supply and markets
are slow.

MAEKETS BY WIEE.
Wheat and Corn Strong Under Good Cash
and Export Demand Oats Gain a
Fraction Lard and Ribs
Somewhat Lower.
CHICAGO The shorts covered freely on tbe
soft spots in tbe market which developed early
in the session. Wheat and corn wero strength
ened by heavy export clearances of the former
and the good cash demand reported as existing
for both. The declining tendency in provis
ions was also arresttd. and although closing
prices were lower than on the day before there
was a firmer feeling at the decline. Wheat
wound up at an advance of abou. Jc
One of tbe principal points in the day's ad
vices contributing to tho recovery from the
early decl.ne was the heavy clearances of
" ana nonr irom tne Atlantic pons.
Another circutnstance contributory to tbe
strength was tbe purchase of 1 00 cars of No. 2
red wheat here for shipment to millers in In
diana. There wero also sales to country millers
yesterday afternoon which were not reported
until to-day, and these were generally at lc
per bushel over the price ot tbe December de
livery for No. 2 soft red winter, "The
prices, undjr the stimnlation of tbe fore
going items, advanced lc from the
lowest point of tbe day. A strong drive at
tbe same time was made at tbe markets by a
host ot sympathetic bears durinsr, which prices
drooped to OSJfc, but recovered almost imme
diately and closed at99c
Tbe corn market was easier. In sympathy
with tbe early decline in wheat, but the aver
age of the day's'trading was at about yester
day's closing prices Hutchinson and Bryant
were reported as buying on the first decline,
and tbe latter was credited with selling inter.
There was a good demand for the cash offer
ings here, and New York was reported short of
stock and bidding up for tbe receipt?. There
was a fair demand for export. Mav corn
opened at 53c and 53-c was paid almost "imme
diately thereafter; there was a further He
added to the latter figures and this was fol
lowed by a decline to 62JJc T bi re was a quick
recovery to 33e with a subsequent advance to
53c and at the close 53c wa bid.
Oats were weaker and fie luwer early. Alter
tbe selling subsided offerings were lieht. and
on fair miscellaneous buying t firmer leellng
developed and prices advanced 5ic, and the
market closed steady, at about uutside figures
and 4.c hizber than yesterday.
Pork Trading was rather active at an irreg
ular range of prices. At the opening prices
ruled 2)i5c higher. Prices receded 2022ic
Later, a meadier feeling prevailed, and prices
rallied 710c and closed rather quiet.
Lard A moderate trade was reported. Open
ing sales were made at the closing figures ot
Wednesday, but a gradual reduction of 25c
was submitted to. Later, prices rallied 25c,
and closed steadv.
Short Ribs Trading was fairly active. Prices
ruled irregular, and declined 57Jc early in the
day, but rallied again slightly, anu closed com
paratively steady.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor
