TRT1XG TO CABRT LIGHT STOCKS.
After the Holidays a More Active Movement
is Expected.
KEPOKTS FROM THE LEADIKG CEXTEES
There is no change for the better ia iron
marfcets-sirtce last week's report. The time
or the year is at hand ihcn transactions are
uniformly light, and this season proves ex
ceptionally dull, owing to tight money
market. Consumers ot raw irons aim to
carry as light stocks as possible at the close
of the year, and hence no active movement
is looked tor until after the holidays. As
finished products have held up well thus
fjr. manufacturers will, no doubt, be com
pelled to replenish stocks of raw iron at an
early day. Prices of srray forge and Besse
mer iron stands as quoted last
week, and while markets are slow
aud dull, there is no disposition
on the part of holders to make conces
sions. Tue reeling is general among dealers
that bottom lias been leached. Manufactured
iron is not so brisk as it lias been for a few
weeks past, nut this as anticipated by manu
facturers, and tbe quiet time has been longer
delayed than usual. Steel nails and rails are
quiet, but prices remain unchanged. Tho
demand Mr structural iron holds up unusually
"well lor tins time of tue ear.

VEEY LITTLE IB02J SOLD
In the District of "Which Birmingham
is the Center.
JfrECIAt. TELEGKAV TO THE EISPJITCH.1
Birmingham. Ala.. Dec 19. The unsettled
condition ul tue iron trade in this district con
tinues without change for the better. Very
little iron is selling, as furnace men are unable
to make contracts for future delivery on
account of the strike of coal miners. Nearly
half tbe furnaces of tbe district are ont of
ljlat and others may follow soon if the strike
continues.
The furnace men say they do not care to
sell iron now except for ralu Some of them
have been caught lor sim.ll amounts in several
fail .ires and they had rather have their iron
than had paper.
There is no change in prices. No.l pig is still
quoted at $12 30, but it conld probably be
bought for less in a cash trade. A. few small
oraers from regular customers are coming in.
hut there is no demand for large lots, and sales
for the past week hare been below any previ
ous week this year.
Tljereis considerable stock on hand in tbe
district. The storage warehouses are prettv
well filled up. and there is iron In everv fur
nace jard. With the present demand the
stock on hand in the district will not be mate
rially reduced lor some time even with only
half the furnaces running.
The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com
pany and the Sloss Iron and Steel Company,
who have the State convicts in their coal mines,
have been able to keep their 12 furnaces run
ning, bat if the strike lasts much longer they
mnst bank the fires in half of them.
There is no prospect of any improvement in
trade until after the holidaj s.
The fail in e of the Bessemer Rolling Mill
Company last week cau-rlit some of the local
furnaces for small amounts, and forced the
Henderson bteel Company to go into the hands
of a receiver. The steel company lost $12,000
on the rolling mill. The fal'.nrc of the rolling
mill was due to that of tbe United States Hotl
ine Stock Coranany. of Chicago, where they
had J30.C00 tied np. These arc the only failures
in the iron business and arc the first of any
magnitude in the history of the district.
The strike of the coal miners continues with
no prospect of a settlement until the strikers
are worn oat and. hungry. In the meantime,
a few mine operators are employing inex
perienced negroes, who learn the work very
quickly, and many of the strikers when they
want to go back to work, will find their places
filled by the brother in black, who never
strikes.
THE SAKE OLD ST0EY.
An Overloaded Market Threatened at
Philadelphia.
rsrncr.vL telegram to the dispatch.i
Philadelphia, Dec 19. The iron market
is at present excessively dull, which is not at
all unusual at this season of the year. If
production is greater than consumption, the
question is how much lower can prices be
forced, or how much money will producers be
willing to lose before they make np their
minds to blow ont their lurnaces, shut
down their mills and stop adding production
to a market which threatens to become largely
overloaded. Old orders are rapidly approach
ing completion, and it is apparent that they are
r,ot being replaced as readily as they were some
time ago. A large proportion of the Virginia
furnaces are cut of blastand only one has been
recently blonn in. Tit: iron holds very steady,
considering tbe general condition of business.

quite neglected, with no sales and no inquiries
likely to lead to immediate business. The price
is about $1S at furnace. Muck bars are verv
dull, with no disposition to either buy or sell,
home lmines has been done at about $29. de

rsrictAL TtunitAit to the nisrATCtr.i
Chicago. Dec It'. Rogers, Brown & Merwin
Bay: The present time of year is always marked
by lack of activity In the way of placing new
contracts for raw material, and tbe year just
closing is proving no exception; in fact, less
transactions than usual are being consummated,
buyers both large and small occupying the con
servative position that retrenchment is in order
in many directions, and that until money again
becomes plenty it is wise to avoid placing
further contracts on incurring new financial
obligations. Srnne business is doing in the way
of carlots. but little is being done in the way of
large sales. Amon; interesting features at
pre-ent is the curtailment in production which
ia giin' on. This is especially seen in the Ala
bama district, where tho coal miners' strike
still continue, with no prospect for early set
tlement. A considerable number of furnaces
have already blown out or banked, and tnoss
still running are simply using up stock on hand,
with the exception of one or two large com
pa!.ic- lnvmg other labor under their controk
Many of tho furnaces in the Mahon
ing and Shenango Valleys aro also blowing
out r ii inking, as thevbavo found it impos
sible i" continue the manufacture of iron with
theii s ing scale of cost forcoko and other
inatcn.ii. While it is a fact tbatconsumption
Is le--. Jt the present time than during the past
baiuiner and autumn, yet it is evident that pro
duction is being curtailed at a more ranid rate
than consumption. In some cases low figures
are still being made by a few furnace com
panies having iron on hand, which they are
forced to realize on. in view of the interest and
other payments which are due, or about to be
come so.

THE HABXET BASKET.
Wintry Weather Quieting to Trade Floral
Products Higher.
At the Diamond market' fruit and vegetable
stalls a quiet week's trade was reported. Tbe
snow storm which covered tbe most of tbo
week had, no doubt, a depressing influence on
trade. Prices are essentially the same as they
were last Saturday.
Potatoes are on tbe advance, and jobbing
prices aro higher than last week, but not
enough to change retail prices. Cabbage is
also tending upward. Butter, eggs and poultry
aro unchanged. A continuance of present
wintry weather will have the effect of reducing
supplies and stiffening prices. Prior to the
recent storm fresh eggs were coming in more
freely, but supplies are now very low and mar
kets very firm.
The bnlk of fish now on the stalls is frozen
stock. Fresh cod. haddock and hallbat are
still coming trom the Atlantic waters, but all
lake fish offered aro frozen. Oysters of high
grade are in limited supply. But for the snow
blockade, preventing the shipment or stock,
there would have been a shortage this week in
the line of lake and ocean products. As it was,
markets were firm for all desirable fish and
oysters.
There has been a slight advance in oysters at
sources of snpply, but no change here. Drum
mers are no longer needed to push the trade
All choice oysters now sell themselves nitnout
pushing. Florists report active demand for
their products, and prices are advanced all
along the line, as an inspection of our quota
tions will disclose. Wintry weather and Christ
mas demands never fail to stimulate markets
In doral lines.

THE KEWS AAD GOSSIP OP THE C1TI
The remarks in this column yesterday on
the necessity of enlarging the business area
of the city caused considerable talk in cer
tain quarters. While all admitted the
pressing need of more room for the transac
tion of the growing trade of the city, there
were those who held that a change of loca
tion would be ruinous to those who led the
way, and in proof oi'this cited the instance
of a prominent drygoods firm which moved
from Fifth avenue to "Wood street a lew
years ago, and lost so much of its trade that
It was clad to get back to the old stand on any
terms the landlord saw fit to impose.
Of course there are exceptions to all mips
The firm in question bad done business on
Fifth avenne for so many years that it had be
come1 attached to it. and probably omitted the
necessary effort to compel success in tbe new
location. But things have cbanged since then.
Rapid transit has so multiplied that one street
is as easily reached as another, and if the same
firm were to repeat the experiment of chang
ing the scene of its operations to tho very spot
which proved so disastrous before, there is
every reason to believe that success would
crown the venture.
As aa offset to this failure to carry trade to a
new locality two instances may be mentioned
which had an entirely different resnlt. A lady
in business on Market street was so oppressed
by rent that she sought and found a location
on Penn avenue. Her customers not only fol
lowed her. but she secured many others, and
prosnered so uninterruptedly that she is now
in affluent circumstances. Not lomr ago she
bought two fine properties in the East End.
Tbe other case referred to is that of a dealer
in household goods A few years ago he occu
pied a stand on Wood street, below Fifth ave
nue, but the rent was so high that it wiped out
the bulk of his profits Ho bought a
lot on Penn avenue and put a fine
building on it, which he has since occupied.
The change was the making of him. as tbe say
ing is, and he is now classed among the solid
men of the city. Numerous other cases might
bo cited w here a change of location has pro
duced equally happy results A gentleman In
business on Sixth street for many years need
ing more room and feeling that be was paying
more rent than he could well afford, secured a
stand on Fifth avenue, a few squares beyond
the Court House, and prospered from the
start. He thinks the change was the best
thing he ever did. The territory above Grant
street as far out as East Liberty and Oakland
is so thickly populated as to afford business
openings in lavish profusion. The West End
and the Southsideare also rich in opportunities.
That there must be a breaking away from
the present business center at no distant time
is so obvious as to be generally admitted. Docs
it never occur to tboso who cling to the old
idea that change means ruin that the first to go
will have peculiar advantages in tbe way of
building up trade, and will secure the cream of
it before their competitors get fairly estab
lished? The dispersion of business is desirable
in every way. It would allow of indefinite ex
pansion, rednce rents, accommodate buyers
and accelerate the material growth of the city.

should make a note of this
Real estate is in better shape than at the
close of any previous year in the history of tho
city.
Mr. C Berlnger, of C. Beringer & Son, re
turned from the South yesterday. While there
he closed tbe sale of 20.000 acres of mineral and
timber land 9,000 acres in Kentucky and 11,000
in Tennessee, reserving for himself a farm of
150 acres in each tract.
Deals in many large properties which have
been hung up for some time, will be taken
down coon after tho New Year bells stop ring
inc. It i-5 conceded on all sides that by tbe middle
of January tbe money market will be easy
enough to give everybody a chance to show bis
mettle.
Black & Bilrd have just received a com
munication from the largest retail drygoods
firm in New York City, to the effect that they
are desirous of establishing a branch store
here, and asking for a suitable stand on one of
the best streets. Fifth avenue preferred. They
require at least 10) feet front. There are no
such places obtainable here at present, and the
firm nas so informed. This should stir up
owners of tumble-down or antiquated buildings
to tear tbem down and put up good ones.
There are many things suitable for Christmas
presents but nothing would be prized more as
a gift from man to wife than a building lot.
It would be a nest egs for the entire family.
The largest of 27 mortgages on file yesterday

UP IT GOES.
Oil Advances Several Cents, With Indica
tions of Doing Better.
The oil bulls were In clover yesterday and
pushed tne market up 7 cents Oil City started
the bulge, followed by Bradford and Pittsburg.
The market opened rather tame at Cjn. and
hunghere until about 11 o'clock, when a tidal
wave roljed in and sent the price up to 72c.
Tbe close was 72c bid. There was very little
trading, as prospects of a f nrther advance were
so good that sellers held back. In fact, there
is no telling how high tbe price will go, now
that a good start has been made.
The bullish influences were tho producers'
meeting to formulate nlans for Independent
action, stagnation in field work owing to the
storm and other causes and tho steady advance
in refined. Tbe improvement in tbe monetary
situation was another strong factor, encourag
ing the room traders to bopo for better outside
support,

Holiday Dullness Depresses the Share List
Few Changes Are Record ed, and
Those In the Direction of Lower
Prices Small Bear Raids.
New York, Dec 19. Wall street to-day pre
sented almost a holiday appearance, so far as
the desire to do business was concerned, and
tbe transactions for the day fell away to the
proportions of a quiet Saturday, while in most
of the list the fluctuations were scarcely per
ceptible, and dullness and stagnation were the
only marked features ot the day. In addition
to tbe usual dullness before a holiday, every
one is waiting to see the outcome 'of the legis
lative measures now 'under consideration at
Washington. No further ratifications of tbe
agreement formulated at Mr. Morgan's house
were reported to-day. s
The principal feature of the business in Wall
streetfor the past two days has been the buying
of bonds and dividend .paying stocks. To-day
the market was affected by the extreme apathy
of all classes of operators and the London fig
ures coming lower with some light selling of a
few of the.Lonpnn favorites, the opening
prices were lower. ia ) per cent being taken
from last nisht's prlcesj '1 he lack of buyers,
and the selling of the opening encouraged the
traders to take the short side for a turn, and
steidy pressure was brought upon one or two
stocks, among which Lqujsville and Nashville
was most prominent.
The downward movement, however, lasted
only for a half hour, and further sliirht frac
tions being lost, the market rallied to about
the level of the opening figures, but became in
sufferably dull, and a long period of stagnation
in prices followed. Lake Shore was one of the
strong snots and St. Paul and Union Pacific
were beld, while silver Certificates, after open
ing down, rallied 1 per cent farther.
In tbe last hour there was some weakness,
and Louisville lost another fraction. The mar
ket, however, closed very dull and fairly steady
at about opening prices for most of the lis'.
The final cbanges are almost all in the direc
tion of lower figures, but only Louisville and
Nashvilie. with a loss of 1, and Silver Certifi
cates, with a loss Of IJiJ, show any material
change.
Itulroad bonds were more active and
stronger than stocks, but tbe same lack ut
feature marked the dealings aud the final
changes are, as a rule, equally as Insignificant
as those In shares. Sales $814,000.
Ihe -Port say: St.-Eaul. Atchison. Louisville.
Lackawanna, Rock Island, Union Pacific and
Reading together furnished 67 per cent of all
the trading In listed stocks. There was a con
stant hammering of these stocks in a small
way, and constant efforts by the cir
culation dt' damaging reports in
the street to depress their prices.
There were exaggerated reports of apetty strike
of switchmen on the Union Pacific, and Atch
ison was sold short on predictions that its earn
incsuoald show a large failing off in the next
six months because its increase of earnings
heretofore had been acquired by illegitimate
methods, whtchiiad caused animosity on the
part of tbe Kocklsland ,aml other roads, la
regard to Rock Island 'itself, the sudden drop
ot the Rock Island extension collateral trust 5
per cent yesterday from 9S to 95. was claimed
to be the effect .of sues by inside people
who were dubious about tbo effects of
a short corn crop lu- the country west
of the Missouri river. But to-day thn Rock
Island extension 5s were up again to D7,which
is just where they were three weeks ago, so
that tbe sudden selling of the bonds may have
only been a ruse to help depress tbe stock. The
short selling of Reading is claimed to be for
account of insiders, because the borrowing to
apply on these short sales is claimed to be by
Inside people who are antlcipatinga bad an
nual statement and are selling short now
against their long stock to he delivered later.

With the breaking of tbe snow blockade
there has been some improvement in trade, but
markets are still quiet. Strictly fresh eggs are
in very scant supply, and are very firm at out
side quotations. Supply of game and poultry
has been on the decline for a few days, but
there is plenty on the way, and unless another
snowstorm comes between now and Christmas,
there will be plenty. It has not happened,
however, for many a year that tho supply of
tnrkey has exceeded demand in Christmas
times.

The snow blockade, strange to eay, brought
more country and village stores to the city
than usual. Storekeepers took advantage of
the lull in home trade to wade through to the
city and place orders for goods. As a result,
volume of trado ha3 been good this week, in
spite of the elements. Prices on stanles are
unchanged.

CHICAGO There was nothing of interest to
wheat specnlators in this morning's budget of
nuns except the cables, but tbe tone of those
dispatches was decidedly strong. The market
epened firm at KVu improvement on the
closing prices of the preceding day. notwith
standing some elaborate preparations lo keep
it down; which bad evidently been made prior
to the opening.
There was a report from Kansas City that
some carloads of wheat, which were en route
to this market, had been recalled on account
of tbe shipper bmng able to get 4c more from
local millers Jn Kansas than could be obtained
here. There were reports of damage to Rus
sian fall-down wheat by winter-killing. New
York wired the placing of considerable quanti
ties or spring wheat in the United Kingdom on
cable offers made the previous afteruooo. Du
lnth was stroneer and lc higher for cash:
Liverpool was Kld higher, and New York
led the markets of tuis country by starting the
advance. . Business was dragging in character
until 12 o'clock, and there wjs a lack of orders
from the outside, but these and local dealings
increased later1, and a fairly active trade was
done In thelnst hour ot the session. May closed
at 514X or.Jie over the latest on 'Change
yesterday. "
Ihe corn pit wasnotvery interesting Jp either

tbe price of No. 2 for May.
Oats Pardridge sold some early. Kennett.
Hopkins taking one lot of 50,000 bushels fur
him. Hutchinson bought a few fives and tens,
but was evidentlycontented to hase the mar
ket remain within the lines of. puts and calls.
The provision market was fairly active and a
good deal firmer. The packers aro evidently
Indisposed to kill the goose w filch Is laying the
goldeo eggs and come to the support of the
market. 1'hcy are not likely to spoil tho prices
of f mures very much, so long as hogs are forth
coming in great plenty. Hutchinson sold
1.000.000 pounds of short ribs on the call. Cu da
hay. Armour and Ryan bought moderately.
Cudahy was a seller of pork. Tbe Anglo
American people were buying lard.
