jszxSmFt gB &p & A. W V", IRON TRADE REYIEW. Ko Signs of a Change Tet to be Koted in tlie Local Market. TRAKSACTIOKS ARE STILL LIGHT, Although Holders of Standard Brands Are A'ol Eeadr to Weaken. EEPOETS FKOJI THE LEADING CEKTEES There are no signs of improvement 5n raw iron market, but the reverse. Transactions have been light the past week, and while holders of standard brands show no inclina tion to concede, it is evident that markets have weakened the past weet. Prospects of revival are very dim, and prices are sure to remain as they now are till after the holidays. The demand for finished iron has declined the past week, but manufacturers still report a. fairly active trade. Consider ing the dull market for raw irons, finished products are holding up unusually well, but nails aro nominally the same as at last reports, and wire nails are lower, as our quota tions will disclose Steel rails are slow at last week's prices. Or ders at the Edgar Thomson are more nearly worked up than they have been for jears. Prices are nominally unchanged, and while there has been a urop of about JG per ton in the past year, the cash order at even lower figures than our quotations would, no doubt, be hon ored. Blooms and billets have weakened the past fewdajs, and there are rumors of sales below our quotations. Structural iron is also weaker, as is its custom at this season ot the year. The financial stringency has, no doubt, had much to don itb the weakness of iron markets.

Consumers generally in this section have iron enough to run them into the new j car, and they are waiting tn see the result of the finan cial flurry before placing further orders.

Buyers are slow to make engagements be3ond their actual current needs until they can see their way more clear in the future. The furnace companies have the same feeling and no not deire lo make contracts ahead at preent prices. Business is, therefore, of the hand-to-mouth character.

There were strong indications that the bulls bad joined forces for another aggressive campaign, and the news favored them, the strongest feature being the good demand for cash property. In the sample market here good No. 3 red winter wheat sold to millers at tc per bushel over the price December was quo:edat the same moment. The May deliv ery opened at Sc to 99c, compared with 99o as the market closed yesterday. At this price was heavy realizing by many of the longs, Leopold Bloom, among the rest, selling out about 1,000,000 bushels, which be had been nurs ing for nearly a week. The price declined on so much selling, although at the same timo the market appeared well supplied with buying orders. The latter class of trade proved the most per sistent, and after the diflerenco between yes terday's closing price and the opening figure of the morning had been bridged by the decline, the selling orders gavo up and left the buyers masters of the situation. Tbo price near the opening had reached JL at which there were a few sales before the reaction took place, and after selling quite freely at 9ac for- a few minutes, there was a long period of dullness, during which there was scarcely any change in tho price. Arter the hour of dullness a lively trade suc ceeded, and beside good buying for long ac count the shorts refused to be outdone in a de sire to have some of the offering, so under such circumstances the advance was rapid until tho price was onco more $1 per bushel and more gradual but with only oligtu reactions, while it made a further gain or Jgc Trading was brik, and tho holidays seemed considerably farther off in the latter part of the session than during the first two hours.

CLEARING H0D5E CERTIFICATES. Talo.es of PJtUonrc Bealty Compared With Figures in Other Cities. TOP FE1CE FOR BUSINESS PEOPERTI The financial situation- has undergone a decided improvement within the past few days. There is more confidence and more money indubitable proof of n change for the better. This reaction is not restricted to Pittsburg; it is seen and felt in all parts of the country. Disaster may come, but it has not cast its shadow before. Local troubles are probable, bnt a general convulsion is not Speaking on this subject yesterday a bank officer said: "Business is moving along so nicely and the outlook is so bright that J hope the proposition to issue Clearing House certifi cates will be defeated, lean see no necessity for them. Besides, such action will bo miscon strued by many who will take it for granted that all the Pittsburg banks are rotten and issue certificates merely to bolster each other tip. This might causa a run on some of them and lead to serious trouble. In my judgment wc bad better let well enough alone." Another financier remarked: "So far as I know and believe all tho Pittsburg banks have been fortifying them selves forsome time, and are now very strong. It would take a tremendous upheaval to over throw them, and there Is no likelihood of such a thing occurinc. Money is close but not scarce There is plenty for legitimate business, but none for wildcatting." Seal Estate Values. While bnsiness property In Pittsburg is held at pretty stiff figures, still, as compared with other important cities Ease and West, values rpust be conceded to be quite reasonable. On Dearborn, Clark, State, Madison, and other business streets in Chicago, ground Is held at from $6,000 to $S,000 a foot front. As high as $9,000 a foot has been paid for choice locations In Philadelphia, while in New York the best properties are bard to obtain at any price. There is property on Fifth avenue, in this city, that would readily bring $5,000 a foot, but so far as can be ascertained there has never been a sale at so high a figure. It is a fact not generally known that the highest price ever realized for property in this city was not on Fifth avenue, but Fourth, the instance being that of tho sale of the Tradesmen's Bank prop erty at the rate of abont $4,400 a foot front. This shows that Pittsburg is following in tho footsteps of other cities by holding property on the financial streets higher than that on either the wholesale or retail commercial streets. Complaint is occasionally heard that resi dence property is too high. Thero is no better fonndation for this than in the case of business property. While Pittnburg is not an extrava gant city she Is by no means a cheap one. Cheap nroperty means stagnation, and no one will say that snch a condition prevails here. The city is growing In everything tending to increase her importance as a manufacturing and commer cial center, and of course property values can not remain stationary. They must advance with everything else. Residence property is really mnch cheaper than it was five or ten years ago, for it is easier to earn the money to pay for it. Business News and Gossip. Yesterday's financial news from Lindon, New York and Washington was encouraging. The steamer Labn, which sailed from South ampton, has on board 501,000 of gold for New York. A nnmber of handsome improvements are slated for the Sclienley Park district, among them the finest private residence in the county. Baxter, Thompson & Co., report more sales of real estate to date this month than in any equal period of time since last spring. Many new buyers are taking bold. The highest price ever paid-for ground in the Squirrel Hill district was at the rate of $21,000 an acre. The transaction took place last fall. Mr. Bell, the Boston builder and capitalist, who has located here, proposes to erect all the houses he can find a market for. Ho will begin operations in a short time. Klghtof 24 mortgages on file yesterday were for purchase money. The largest was for $6,000. J. B. LarKin & Cc say the recent tiros in tlili city have caused quite a spurt in the insur ance business. A life insurance agent said the other day tba: the best work he ever did was due to the annonncemenr, some years ago, that I cholera had broken . t in Philadelphia. Peo ple always act in tho presence of danger. mere are aDoui ou stores in wnuinsonrg. Ten years ago there were less than half a dozen. Business is sufficient to support a bank. The proposed enlargement of the Fast Liber ty stockyards dispels tho idea that they are to be removed and nips several promising real estate scnemes.

Considerable business was transacted in local stocks yesterday, total sales footing np L020 shares, over 700 of which were Electric At the opening there were symptoms of an advance, and first figures were reassuring, but later on the bears got in their work, and prices of some ot tbe leaders were shaded. Concessions wero made in Philadelphia Gas, Pleasant Valloy and Electric The latter opened fairly steady, but almost immediately started down-bill, and kept on losing ground until tho close, which was at the lowest point of the day, and nearly a point be low the opening. It thU3 appears that the now deal of the company falls to satisfy holders of tho stock. As an offset to this It was seated that the work of raising funds to help the company out of its difficulty Is an assured success. This should check the decline. The high prices paid for bank stocks at the auction sale seemed to para lyzo tbe room traders, as there wero neither bids nor offers. rinsT SECOND TUIUD CALL. CALL. CALL. U A 11 A 15 A sT 7.

Buying by Shorts and Loudon Sends Stocks Up With a Steady Advance Bear Raids on Lackawanna and Union Pacific. New Tons, Dec. 12. The stock market to day was strong, though comparatively qniet, the shorts and London buying liberally upon the expected increase in roserves to be shown by tbe banks to-morrow, and also on the feel ing that Monday's meeting of railroad presi dents will resuli In improving the earnings of trunk lines in particular, and of subsidiary roads, more especially in the West. While there is some doubt as to tbe bank statement of to-morrow showing any material increase in reserves, owing to the fact that a large portion of tho payments for tbe bonds redeemed was taken away and not paid into tho bank, the statement of next week can hardly fail to be otherwise than good, owing to tbe gold which Is now in transit from London. The flancia! situation is undoubtedly easier, but very little time accommodation is to be had, and every favorable prospect is bailed with joy by all classes of the community. The outlook for the near future is very encourag ing, and tbe disbursements of the first of Janu ary for interest and dividends is estimated at over $120,000,000. London was Influenced by the more hopeful state of affairs hero this morning, and not only were prices higher, but large buying orders were In this market for arbitrage account, and tho shorts on the strength of this were eager bidders for stuck nt the opening, wbtch showed advances of from J to 1 per cent over last night's figures. The urgent demand from both classes of buy ers sent prices np rapidly In the first hour, but the bears, when the buying showed signs of slackening off. stood ready to attack both Union Pacific and Lackawanna. Tbe talk on the Coal stocks is bearish. Only Lackawanna, however, gives any indication of a desire of holders 10 part with their stocks, and it always takes a vigorous bear raid to break it. Bear points are out on Union Pacific, also, although the prospects of the company are now as bright as at anvtlme within the past-two vears; tho latter 3 telded most readily to the raid, and 2 per cent was knocked from its price at ono time, which brought the entire list back a por tion of the way. The effort to dislodge long stocks and check buying, however.-was not a success and was soon given up. tbe shorts contiuuing to buy, while among most of tho active shares thero was a steady stream of good purchases, and prices again moved upward with a very uni form advance. Money was unusually easy for Friday, most of the business being done at about 3 per cent, which helped tbe advance materially. There was no cessation of .importance In tbo upward movement, and it continued until the close, which was quiet, but firm to strong at or near tho best figures of . tbe diy. The gains in all the active stocks were very marked and Rock Island is up 1: Louis ville and Nashville. 3; St. Paul. 2; .Mlsonrl Pacific 2: Northwestern and C. C. C, d.St. Louis, each 2V: Burlington, 1: Lickawanna, 26: Atchison, ljj; Lake Snore, ljf: Colorado Coal, New England and Wheeling and Lake Erie, each ljj; Chicago Gas, . and Jersey Central, New York Central, Reading, Union Pacific and Western Union each 1 per cent. Railroad bonds presented about the nsnal amount nf business, the sales of all issues reaching $1,200,000, but tbe market sympathized closely with the strength Iu shares, and a strong tone marked the dealings throuuhout the day. All tbo active issues show advances, thongh a large proportion of them are lor fractional amounts. Among tbe more import ant changes, however. Denver and Ri Grande firsts rose to 114; Fort Worth and Denver hrsts, 2 to 1)9: Reading firsts, 2 to 53; Union Pacific 4Xs,3Ji to 7a The J'osl says: Notwithstanding tbe covering of shorts in tbo morning, there is still a large outstanding short interest in Union Pacific, St. Paul, Rock Island, Burlington, Reading, Lack awanna, and various devices were reported to to-day to enable the shorts to cover, tbongli without much appirent effect. Raids were made from time to time upon one stock and an other in order to affect the general market and to assist the covering in other stocks.

Vegetables Higher Frozen Fish to tho Front Frice of Staples. Wintry weather bas had the effect of lifting prices ot vegetables. Potatoes and cabbage have been steadily on the advance of late, and, nnlcss there comes soon an end to the upward movement, garden stuff will be among tbe luxuries that are beyond tbe prices of the average purse At tbe Diamond market vege table and fruit stalls trade was reported better this week than last. While wholesale prices are a shade higher than a week ago, retailers are selling at about tbe same figures. Strictly fresh nearby eggs are a very scarce com modity, and tbe few that come to market are quickly taken at outsldo quotations. In the line of occau products frozen stock now has the field. A few fresh cod and bad dock from tbe Atlantic are still to be found on the stalls, bnt in tbe main the fish offered this week are frozen. Snpply of oysters lias been fairly up to demand of late, but a few days of cold weather will change tbe situation and bring a shortage. Florists report improvement in trade and higher prices for their goods, with expecta tions of still further advances between now and Christmas. Staple meats rarely change, whatever tbe ups and downs of live stock. Following are latest retail quotations of mar ket basket filling as furnished by leading deal ers: Staple Meats.

Chicago,- Dec. 12. There is a lively little tilt between the Erie and Louisville and the New Albany and Cliicjjgo Bailroad (Monon). The Knights of Pythias, of Day ton, will give a banquet to-morrow night, and about 200 members of the order from this city propose to attend it. They are goins in a body, and have been negotiating for special rates. The Monon, Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania lines made them a round trip rate of SB 35 by the regu lar passenger trains. The Chicago and At lantic, the recent acquisition of the Erie, made a rate of S3, and agreed to give them a special train. This was satisfactory, and a contract was signed for the party at that rate. This morning the Monon flashed a $2 rate for the entire party or any portiou of it. The Monon people claim that they will carry at least B0 of the party. THEY VETOED THE TETJST. Why Barbed "Wire Manufacturers Failed to Combine at Chicago. Chicago, Dec. 12. Tbe reason why the barbed wire manufacturers, at their meeting here this week, did not form a trust is re vealed by Mr. Wellington, of the Wash burn & Mnen Manufacturing Company. He said: "S me of the firms which rustnu faclure barbed wire under the patents ot our firm sought to evade payiug a royalty of 5 cents per 100 pounds, but were enjoined. They then tried to form a combination and thus get Cflntrol'of tbe patents, but they failed. "Oar firm has sued oat injanctions against all of these concerns, and we intend to crowd them out of tbe business or force them to pay a license. We do not desire to raise the price of barbed wire, as we are making plenty of money at the present rates.
