Xnvr Yokk, Dec 11. Following is the
iron Age's leport o! the iron and metal mar
kets for the week:
It is becoming more and more evident
that, so far as the fc-on trade is concerned,
people are much more scared than hnrt.
The iron and steel trades are undoubtedly
In an exceptionally sound condition. Prices
have been declining for months, so that
liquidation has proceeded for a long time.
Values are now as low as they ever have
been, considering cost, and there is nothing
in the situation to cause any alarm what
ever. It is fair to add, however, that die trade
must be prepared for a long spell of close bar
gaining and light business. So far as we can
learn the banks arc treating the trade well, evi
dently having confidence in it.
American Pig Tho majority ofrsalcs agents
report a qmet market, but in tuose cases they
are generally the ones who appear to liavo
little discretion in naming prices to meet pre
vailing conditions. There is some rtfying going
on, however. Thus we liear that one house
sold duriug the week, in blocks ot 1,000 tons
and under, about 5,000 tons of Virginia, Tennes
see and Georgia, irons, about one-n.ilf to Balti
more consumers, on the basis of $17 25 lor No.

to telegrams to the Alabama furnace com
panies we are advised to-day bv wire ihat the
Vnodwara Iron Company are running both
their furnaces and bo not expect to stop,
since their miners are at work: that
the De Bardelcben Company have bloyn
ont So. 3 and So. 4 and do not know when tho
two others must follow. The Gadsden, Ala.,
furnace is in and expects to keep runmnjr.
Mary Pratt is out for repairs. Trnssville is
running, lint cannot tell how long it will con
tinue. Williamson is producing and expects to
continue. Hattie EnMev, at Sheffield. w ill not
blow out. Lady Enslev was put out early in
October. The "Tennessee Company arc run
ning three furnaces at Ensley aud oiie at Alice,
and the bloss Company three out of four. The
1'ionecr Compan. at Thomas, have banked
both their furnaces.

rsrFriAI. TKX.fcl.nAM TO THE DISPATC1T.1
Snw Yokk, Dec. 1L The Iroi AgeU report
of the foreign iron and metal markets for the
week is as follows: London operations in pig
iron warrants have been on a moderate scale,
ana prices hate ruled irregnlar during the
greater portion of the week, toning up some
what towara the close. La'cst sales were at -16s
fid for Sco'ch; 43s for CleveUnd. and
ols 3d 334s Cd for hematite. The appear
ances arc that holders are givinc the
marker little support, owing probably to
absence of outside speculation, and the per
sistent cour-o or uperators for a fall has con
siderable weight. The prolonged strike at the
furnaces also has an unfavorable bearing, as do
the rather poor trade returns for last month.
There was conMderaole excrement in Glasgow
nt Monday, and serious difficulties were appre
liendea. blocks in Cornwall's htores decreased
5 4S6 tons ljst week. Total British export in
November, 221,000 tons, against 336.000 tons last
3 e.i r.
The pi: tin market was quiet until Friday,
when the appearance of orders from America
produced some animation and brought about a
rie in prices to 33 15s. The nast tew days
bavf been quieter, and prices receded to U1
15-for spot on Tncsdaj.and suliseqnently to
113. Heavv shipments from the straits'iast

COKE OVENS IDLE.
Operators Forced to Shut Down on the Vol

Over 2,500 Ovens Idle Scant Car Sup
ply Still Continues.
rsr-ECIAL TELKGUAM TO TUB DlSFATCU.t
Scottdale, Dec 11. The coke market, Tor
the week under review, presents some new
features There are as yet no indications, as
viewed by operators, for relief from the several
disturbing elements. The scant car supply is
still cited as the principal cause of tho
derangement in trade, although there
are other surrounding Influences which
have hastened the suspensions and in
tended suspensions of -hundreds ot coke
ovens throughout tho region. There have been
several important factors behind the scones for
two or three weeks, which are just now assert-'
mg themselves. Tho depression in tho money
market and the consequent dullness of tho iron
market has had a disheartening effect on trade.
The coke market is largely dependent
on the iron industry for its existence,
and invariably rises and falls with it. As
evidence of the lethargic condition of the iron
trade and its concomitant effect on the coke
trade, the Illinois Steel Company, the largest
consumers of Connell'Ville coke in America,
have blown out five ot their eleven blast fur
naces, the daily consumption of which was 143
cars per day, or nearly 1100 cars per week. Ex
tensive inquiry has developed the fact that the
financial furore affects nearlr every operator
in an indirect manner. The lessening in de
mand, coupled with inadequate transportation,
has been the primitive causes of the indefinite
suspension of over 2.000 oven already.
Though the car famine still rage. to the
detriment of both producer and consumer, rail
way officials aro confidently expecting an im
provement, aim assign as their reasons for the
same, that there has been a decline in the
volume of general business. Operators hope
ferventlj that their expectations may be real
ized. In consequence of the car famine nearly
every yard in the region is filled with stock
ruke and the various companies will now seize
the opportunity for its removal. Some
of the ya-ds are badly overstocked.
The Krick Company, in addition to blowing
out 25 per cent of its ovens will next week
operato but two days at the Trotter, Kyle,
Lciscnrin? So. I, Leisenring No. 2. Lelsen
ring So. 3,Leith,Davidson and Oliphant plants,
in order to get the stock coke Into market.
The end of this week will witness tho idleness
of over2,5Cu ovens, mainly occasioned by the
demoralization of shipping facilities.
The notices as given in the last report by the
Fnck, Hecla. Sonthwost and Scboonmaker
companies have taken effect, and about 2.300,
or about 25 per cent, aro already cold. Thir
teen hundred and thirty-seven, ovens, of this
number is by Frick. 143 bv the Hecla, 457 by
Scboonmaker, and about 290 by the Southwest
Company. The McCIurc CokeCompany served
notice to-day that by reason of the depression
in market and scarcity of Eastern cars they
will close down 25 per cent of their ovens
at the expiration of six days, as fol
lows: Twenty-six at Hazlett, 17 at Diamond,
IS at Union, and 03 at Donnelly. The remain
ing 25 per cent will likely be distributed be
tween the Mayfleld, Lemont, Bessemer and
Buckeye plants. Of the smaller operators the
Calumet Company has zivennoticeof tho in
tended blowing out of 25 per cent, as has also
the Pennsville Coke Co.. Stauffer t Wilev. J.
W. Orerbolt and A. C Overholt Companv. "The
Frick Company will, in the meantime, resume
operations at the Morgan ana Frick plants and
blow in 71 ovens at Henry Clay and 53 at Foun
dry. The list of inactive ovens is now estimated at
3,600 and the actives at 13,000. Five days' opera
tions per week seems to.he the universal rule,
though the Rainey and Cambria companies are
make six days right alone. The works uf the
McClure Company were idle one day this week,
while the Scoonmakcr Company will lay off
one dav at each ot five plants next week,
in the hope of clearing the yards of surplns
coke. The Baltimore and Ohio yardmen's
strike impeded traffit on that road for a conplo
ot days The furnace consumers in the Ma
honing and Shenango Vallejs arc still making
tho atmosphere fairly flash with threats as to
their course if the producing companies do not
make a material reduction in price.
They have gone so far as to form a league,
with a membership of 25, which will demand
the concessions about January 1. The oper
ators are not beinc perturbed by tneir threats.
Thev have frequently endeavored to
satisfy the angry furnace men of the
di-tnet by referring them to the
increased cost of production in this region:
These are tho expressions of an operator to
day on this subject: The Valley f urnaceincn
are still kicking. I am told. Weil, let them
kick. They should know ny past experience
that it requires two parties to form
a contract. All this talk about the
'coke combine' is nonsense. There isn't
any such organization in existence We have
always tried to be fair with these people, and
it is evident that they don't relish snch treat
ment. You can state that a reduction in prices
is not under contemplation for the balance of
the year at least. After next February we will
look into those matters."
Shipments last week took another "tumble"'
and were exceeded by the previous week by
275 cars. Shipments averaged S7K cars per day,
as against 925 cars the previous week.
Following Is tho record of consignments: To
points west of Pit shuie, 3,475 cars; tn Pitts

Sew York, Dec 1L Through the presence
of Southern bucrsin the drygoods market,
there was more business, but transactions were
of a cautious character. The general disposi
tion continues a waiting one under the present
condition of the money market, but the out
look in that direction is acain brighter, and it
is expected that commercial paper will be in
demand within a week. The market maintains
a very steady tone.

THE DISCJTEKI OF IUTUEAL GAS
A good round figure, approximating $3,
000 an acre, was offered and refused yester
day for the St. Michael Seminary property,
at Glenwood. Values of real estate in that
district have stiffened considerably since
the recent Baltimore and Ohio deal, and the
seminary property h:s been marked up
along with other. 'It is in the market,
but the person who bnw it will have to pay
somctbine over X3 000 anilcre. There are about
nine acres in the tract.
Scurvy Treatment
A trade authority sayst "The Equitable In
surance Company, of Sew York, ha in view
tho construction of a S-'oO.OOO office building m
Dcs Moines, Iowa." This raises the inquiry:
Why do not the great insurance companies do
something for Pittsburgf They do an immense
business here, yet not one of them, so far as
known, owns a foot of land or abuildincin
this city. The money they net hero is invested
elsewhere, and Pittsburg has nothing to show
for it. Some of them have been talking for
years of building here, but nothing has come
of it, and there is no better prospect of such
improvements now than there was last year or
the vcar before. If thev nronose to continue
the policy of draining this community of funds
to put into expensive buildings 111 cities of tar
less importance to them and to tho business of
the country, the sooner it is known the netter.
In such a case it would be suicidal to keep on
enriching these outside corporations at the ex
pense of home companies which are doing all
they can to increase the prosperity of the city.
Talk Without Meaning.
The "wrecker" has over-leaped himself in
several instances within the last few days. He
started some ugly stories with a view to alarm
the people and unsettle confidence, aud
worked them for all they were worth, but he
made so few converts that he concluded the
times were not ripe for a panic and retired
temporarily to bis hole. Of course, he will ap
pear again upon the least provocation and re
peat his dismal platitudes about things going
to the demnition bnw-wows;butsolongas they
don't go. why should anybody pay attention to
his silly chatterimrsr Ho has been crying panic
panic, for weeks, but there is no panic Ha ing
shown that he didn't know what bo was talking
about, no further attention should be paid to
him. Like Othello, bis occupation is gone.
Discovery of Sat Ural Gas.
A writer in the Sew YorK Commercial Ad-t-erf
uer says that the first natural gas well in
this country was opened in the year 18il, at
Fredonia, Chautauqua County, S. Y and the
supply applied in a small way to illuminating
and heating purposes. More than 55 jears
elapsed before its practical utilization for both
light ana fuel. In 1S7S some men were drilling
for petroleum at Murraysville, 18 miles from
Fittsburz. A depth of nearly L323 feet had
been reached, when the drills were thrown high
into the air and the derricks broken to pieces
and thrown around by a tremendous explosion
of gas, which, w ith hoarse shrieking, rushed
into the air. alarming the population for miles
around. Upon application of alight there im
mediately leaped into light a iietce, dancing
demon of fire, hissing and swirling about with
the wind, and Torching the earth in a large
area about it. For five yeats did tins continue.
At last, however, the gas was captured, aud by
means of pipes was conducted to tho city and
utilized.
The discovery of the gas in Ohio (the sup
plies of which arc practically confined to the
counties of Hancock. Wood, Auglaize and
Mercer) was made in November, IBM, at Find
lay, when it was found tuat the Trenton lime
stone underlying tho flat country of North
western Ohio was, in certain places, charged
with high-pressure ga. In January, lb86, a
well was brought into use large enough to ac
credit the new gas rock as a first-class source
of production, one which could safely endure
comparison with the most prolific Horizon;, ot
the new fuel of Pennsylvania and elsewhere.

Electric Moves Up on tho Statement of tho
Company. , ,
Stock trading yesterday was barren of excite
ment. Even rumors were seatee. Prices, as a
general thing, were firmer. Few figures fiete
made. In most cases the close was at the top
of the day.
Most ot the interest centered in Electric.
Before tlie opening somo contended that the
issue of preferred stock would injure the com
mon, while others held tho contrary view.
Although nothing was settled, the latter had
something to show for their opinion, for the
stock went up on the statement, but lust some
of the advance at the last call. Philadelphia
Gas and Lnster also improved their standing.

SOME IMTEOVEMEHT.
A Better Feeling Among Financiers and an
Easier Money Market.
Soveral of the leading financiers reported a
better feeling in the local money market yes
terday than for some time. Funds were some
what easier and accommodations were more
freely extended. The question of issuing
Clearing llouso coitificates Iri case of need had
not been settled, as stated in some1 quarters,
but was still under consideration.
The cause of the delay was said to be due to
the opinion of the majority of bankers that
there was no occasion tor such action, as busi
ness was moving along as smoothly as usnal.
The fact that the associated banks stand ready
to render assistance when called upon goes a
long way toward restoring confidence and keep
ing business on its feet. When capitalists com
bine, and by their actions as well a"s words de
clare there shall be no panic, that settles it.
The call for loans was moderate, and regular
customers wcie pramptlyserveaasusual. Out
side paper met wi.ti some favor, but not enough
to encourage the presentation in largi amounts.
Rates were unchanged. Bank clearings were
larger than those of the previous dav, being
$2,065,119 36. The balances were 246.446 S3.
a.Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy, ranging from 3 to 5 per cent, rinsed of
fered at 3. Prime mercantile paper, 6 per cent.
Sterling exchange, $4 8!i for 60-day bills and

NEW YOBK STOCKS.
Market Weak and rcverish In Forenoon
but Strong Later Bear Attacks on
Union Pacific and Lackawanna
in the Morning.
New York. Dec. 11. Tho stock market to
day was feverish and weak in tho forenoon, but
quite strong, though dull, later in the day.
leaving most stocks fractionally higher, though
thero were a few material losses among those
stocks to which the bears paid most attention.'
The trading during the day was almost entirely
or a professional order, and is likely to remain
so until time money is once more available, as
brokers are discouragintr buying on margin as
far as they are able, one reputable brokerage
house to-day asking 25 per cent margin 'to buy
St, Faul for a customer.
An improved market, however, is lorlked for
Trom the meeting of railroad presidents to be
held Monday, Gold from England is due here
about the middle nt next week, and its arrival
is expected to give greater buoyancy and
strength to tho market.
The opening was quite irregular and cen
erally lower than last evening's prices, but the
bears again took hold and depressed prices still
farther, payinc special -attention to Lacka
wanna and Union Pacific, and some specialties
showed marked losses before the downward
movement was checked. Lackawanna was
forced off 15i per cent from last night's price,
and Union Pacific 1 per cent, but the changes
in the rest of the list were generally insignifi
cant The loaning rates for stocks, however,
showed that there was a large outstanding
short interest, while muner was easy at from 3
to 5 per cent on call, and the traders, when the
bear attack slacked away, turned over to the
bull side for a turn, and the market became
aull as the pressure to sell was removed: but
the demand from the shorts developed a stronc
tone, prices moving up slowly, and soon recov
ering not only all the forenoon's losses, but
something in addition.
Lake Shore was one of tho strongest features,
but the movement in Atchison was equally
luutiuuuceu, aim in nuKar xicuueries a suauon
advance of 3 per cent was made The demand
from the shorts slacked away toward delivery
hour, and realizations sagged the list away in
the last hour, but the market closed strong,
though dull, at close to the best figures of the
day. The final changes are nearly all in the di
rection of better prices, and Lake Shore and
Atchison are uplper cent each, and Sugar
and Rock Island eacn 1 per cent, but Southern
Pacihc Is 1 lower, and Lackawanna and
Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred, each 1 per
cent.
Railroad bonds were still quiet and generally
displayed a steady tone, with irregular changes
in the list, among which losses aro rather the
more numerous. Tho sales of all isnes were
3I.2S3.O00, with no special animation. Among
the advances ot note may he mentioned Oregon
Short Line sixes 4 to 103; Reading seconds. 2
to 35. thirds, IK to 27. and Iron Mountain fives,
2 to i3. Those that show losses, however, are
generally the inactive issues.
The oi says: Money on call at tho Stock
Exchange ranged from 5 per cent in the fore
noon to 3 in the afternoon. These low rates
for loans on stocks, at a time when discounts of
commercial paper are still very difficult, reflect
the opinion of money lenders that stocks for
which there is always a ready, market more
ready, in fact, than ever for railroad bonds
are not only very cheap, but the most available
iecuritv for bans. There was a good borrowing
demand for stocks throughout the day. indicat
ing the existence of an important short inter
est. A number of stocks, notably New York
Central. Burlington, and one or two others,
loaned liar, showing that the same rate of in
terest was paid for the use of them from day
to day as for the use of money.. Others loaned
ar from 1 to 2 percent. "

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Fancy creamery butter and strictly fresh
eggs aro firm at quotations. Home-raised eggs
are hard to be bad at any price, but large quan
tities of Wettern stock are going to tho con
sumer as such. Since Government detectives
arc on the watch for oleo dealers, there has
been a better demand for country butter.
Choice' potatoes and apples are still iq short
supply, and demand is good for all that are of
fered. Prices 'are more apt to go higher than
lower. Poultry is coming in freely, but de
mand is slow. Consumers aro evidently getting
a good ready for Christmas doings.

Wheat Lazy at the Opening, but Enconrag-
lng Reports Cause Good Baying Later
On Other Articles Slow and
Comparatively Featureless.
CHICAGO The wheat market opened tame
at a decline of c from the closing prices of
the preceding day. The cables n ere easier in
tone and there appeared to be a remarkable
scaicity of orders on either side nf the market.
Fluctuations were narrow. The dispatches
from every point orthe compass were almost
uniformly bullish.
There were numerous dispatches received
from Indiana, Kansas and Missouri, reporting
injury to the fall wheat from, the Hessian fly.
and Minneapolis dispatches quoted an improv
ingdemand for cash wheat at 1 to 2c over yes
terday's closing prices with farmers' deliveries
in the interior steadily increasing. Tho effect
of such an array of bullish news was slow in
showing itself, but there were a good many
traders who picked np a good deal of wheat
early in the session, and on every accession of en
couraging reports bought more, and In the
end this steady absorption of the limited offer
ings created a local shortage wbicb expressed
itself in some anxious buying lo the last hour
of the session, during which the May delivery
from hanging lazilv within a free action of
93Kc advanced to 99;fc.
Hutchinson was a seller when trading
started; Pardndce was also on that tide of the
market. Rumsey aud Chandler, Lawsnn, Ken-nett-Hopkins
and Schwartz-Dupee were among
tho most prominent buyers in the first half of
the session. Hutchinson also came around to
that side in the end.
Tho corn deal was confined tn a rango of iS
c, and that indicates tho lifelessness of me
business There ua3 nothing in the shape of
oujside influences brousbt to bear upon the
market, and it was therefore easy fur a party
who sold heavily of puts and calls on tho pre
vious afternoon to keep the prices from going
beyond the line drawn at tbe price of these
privileges. 3Iay corn started at 54Jc, and a
sale or two occurred at 1-lCc over tnat price
about th samo time It was maintained at
oic for some time, but on the estimated re
ceipts for to-morrow of 295 cars it sagged to
54c There was a firmer feellutr later in
sympathy with wheat, and another advance to
54Kc
Oats were traded in to a moderate extent;
an easier feeling prevailed, bnt price changes
were small.
Mess Pork Trading wai only moderate. At
the openintr tbe feeling was steady with a fewer
sales, provided at about ontside figures. Later,
the demand slackened and prices receded 12
15c, but near tbe close improved 710c, and
ruliu steady.
Lard A fairly active business was trans
acted. Early in the day the feeling was rather
firm, with quite liberal trading, but later in the
day a reduction nf 2c was submitted to. Near
tbe close prices rallied again and ruled firm.
Short Rib Sides A fairly active trade was
reported. On the whole range prices receded
5KC. ad the market closed quiet at medium
figures.
