STATE OF THE FOEE1GN METAL MARKET
TSrECTAX. TZLXGBA1I TO THE PIIrATCR.1
Sew York, Oan. 8. Tlie Iron Age of
tins date quotes the iron and metal markets
as follows:
It cannot be denied that the feeling preva
lent in the iron trade is one of unusual
glooni. It is admitted by some of the Great
est authorities that the situation, so far as
the near future is concerned, shows less
brightness than it has for many years past.
There is a disposition among the strongest
concerns to crowd the weaker into suspen
sion of operations, even if it be necessary to cat
under cost. A great restriction of production
lias been forced or is about to come from tlio
stoppage of the Alabama furnaces and through
the movement of the valley men. Tins will
amount to atleast 120.000 tons per montb. But
tlie uncertain feature is whether the plants
now idle or about to go out of blast will not
promptly return to w ork as soon as tbey bavo
i-ecured w hat they arc fighting for now. One
danger in the more distant future is tbetpossi
bility of a strike in the Conncllsville coke re
gion, w here the men have tormalated demands
for a heavy advance in the lace of the present
depression.
American pig While the market is quiet, its
position has Aomewhat improved, through the
fact that Southern brands are offered less
urgently. It is clear that the Alabama strike
is at last beginning to tell. On the other band
it is reported by good authority that the lead
in;; Lehigh Company arc selling on the basis of
$17 50 f or N o. 1 Jonndrv. We quote standard.
.Northern oranas. iio X3'i w lor lo. 1.SIUQ)
16 50 for No. 2, and $14 5015 50 for gray forge.
Manufactured Iron and Steel There is the
usual amount o talk concerning foreign beams,
w hich is common at the beginning of the year,
when the large architectural iron works make
their contracts. German beams can be laid
ctow n at 2.63e2.75c, while American continue
lo be quoted at 3.10c, but we fail to bear that
tlie figures are attractive to buyers. The
figures which are now coming out concerning
the prices at which tome of the elevated
Mructure bavo been taken during the past
feu months indicate that the lowest level has
lieen reached for this class of work. Wo under
stand 3.10c erected has been shaded for an
important piece of work. We quote angles,
2.O5c01UOc; sheared plates, 2.20c225c; tees.
2.lc&2.75c, and beams and channels, 3.1c, on
dock, fctcel plates are 2.25c2.30c for tank;
2.55c2.63c for shell, and 2.b5c3c for flange, on
dock, liars are 1.75cL9c, on dock.
Steel Kail Wbile the negotiations among
the rail mills have nut beeu formally aban
doned, there is not as much hope of a success
ful issue no as there has been. In the ab
sence of anv business offering the majority of
Eastern niilK quote 25 and upward. There is
nowcry little work going on anywhere, Ues
senier pig is weak- It is stated uy the represen
tative of one of the large rail mills that large
orders must soon be placed. Usually the Penn
evlvama Railroad by giving out its ordeis gives
the signal for buying to a good many roads.
Thus far nothing has been beard from that
quarter. The views of buyers are indicated by
offers to purchae at $26. at mill, and it is
argned by them that this figure is not unrea
sonable, considering the fact that soft steel
billets have been sold in the Pittsburg district
at $25.
fcpicgcilsen and lerro The slackness of the
rail trade keeps the mills out of the market
longer than expected, the majority having a
ronstderable supply on band. The market
remains lifeless at JJ92) 50. In ferro. the
urincipal feature remains the re-sales of simll
lots from second bands, the amount thus still
available being reported to be quite large in
the aggregate. We quote SCI 50g62 GO.
Uillets In domestic billets th market is
quiet. So far as foreign billets are concerned,
tf which manufacturers look who do are-export
trade, it is reported that thero has been an
advance in German, ranging from 'JgndtoSs.
Only recently German billets were bought at
iGs. less 2i per cent at shinning port. It is be
lietedthat the firmness is'due to orders re
ceived from Scotland, where the strike has
practically led to a suspension of manufactur-

don Market.
rsrciAi.Txi.rcKAi to the dispatch.
New York, Jan. S. The iron Age of, this
date quotes the British iron and metal market
as follows: In pig iron warrants there has been
little doing tho past week. The closing of the
exchanges during the New Year's bolidajs
served to check outside interests more or less,
and since then nothing has occurred to stimu
late speculation. Scotch have sold chiefly at
4Gs3d4Gs5U, showing steadiness in the face of
light trading, but on Cleveland there has been
a decline to 41s 7Jjd, and hematites sold off to
ES9J.
Pig Tin Prices declined somewhat early in
the week under the influence of pressure to
realize on cash parcels bnt subsequent free
purchases ot futures brought an improvement,
and a reaction to 91 12s Cd!)! 15s for spot, and
a.'J2 10s for futures loot place. This was helped
in some degree by statistics showing a decrease
of Gil tons in the visible supply last week. Aus
tralian tin is scarce. To-day "the market was
rather weaker. Copper warrants, after a tem
porary' decline, have improed to 52 losspot on
a very fair business, but while the consumption
is still large, fears of beatier supplies from
America restrain further upward movement of
prices tor the present. Prices for furnace ma
terial have been somewhat depressed by the
ale of 10,000 tons anaconda matte at 10s, and
250 tons anaconda argentiferous at a low price,
not made public
The arrivals last month were 12.767 tons, but
Fpot stocks have decreased 1,056 ton, and the
visible supply was 7 tons less January I than a
month previous. Chile charters the last fort
night w ere 1,00J tons. Despite the intervention
of the holidays there has been inrther improve
ment in the tin plate market, and prices are
again higher. From the United States there
lias been a large demand, chiefly for Bessemer
steel coke finish plates, ac up to" IS, and bnjris
have manifested eagerness to secure sup)l for
I livery prior to the new tariff goingiuio effect.
The demand lor steel ship plates has moder
ated, and makers now offer to sell at 67s Od, f. o.

Tlie Coke Outlook Not Very Satisfactory
Demand for Production Falling Off The
Car Famine nt Last Overcome A
Material Increase In Shipments.
SrlCCIAt. TSLEGUAM TO TBI DIgrATCO.1
ScoTTDAiiK, Jan. 8. Iu the face of the in
creased shipments the past wetk the outlook is
less satisfactory. Quietness pervades the mar
ket, and the indications are that conditions will
be further provoked by the blowing out of a
number of the valley furnaces. It appears
that the f urnacemen are content with the con
cession of a25-cent reduction" by coke opera
tors, but are dissatisfied with the treatment of
their crievanees at the hands of the rail
road companies, and will likely shut down
10 or 12 furnaces in conformity with
tbeir threats. The coke region, though, will
be the principal sufferer, and already the
notices are pouring in for the banking ot more
ovens. The car famine, which his been a
serious barrier to the smooth running of trade,
has at last been overcome, due to the drop in
demand, and all railroad officials report an
ample supply for all requirements. Since the
operators have been utilizing the lay off
by the shipping of stock coke to the market,
the yards of the region are becoming pretty
well cleared. The demand for production is
steadily falling off, and there arc no sicns visi
ble for an early improvement. Consumers nre
ordering savingly, and operators are gauging
the output in accordance.
While over 40 per cent of all the ovens in the
region are cold, there are' not sufficient
orders for the productive capacity, and
the works are making but fonr and Ave days
per week, "he outlook is indeed gloomy in
this section.
As per announcement, the Frlck Coke Com
pany shut down 1,130 ovens in the region this
week. Their distribution among the various
places was mentioned in the last re
port. The Adelaide plant of 250 orons
lias been closed entirely. The Schoonmaker
Company has also posted the notices that will
dampen 25 per cent more of its interests In the
district. The ovens to bo effacied are divided
as follows: Ninety-eight at Jim town and
Sterling. Ill at Redstone, 60 at Younzs
town, SI at Mutual, and 75 at Cen
tral. Superintendent Hawkins, of the Cal
umet Company, has given notice that
the company will shut down 25 per cent
of its plants, which will be about 75 ovens.
The Southwest Coke Company has also served
the notice for the closine of 25 per cent more
of its whole number of ovens. The ovens ther
will bank are located thus: lG2at Southwest
No. 1; 100 at Southwest No. 4, and will
close the B shaft entirely. Stauf
fer, Keister. Wiley, and a number
of other independent operators have also
closed 25 per cent uf their ovens, and it will net
be long until 50 per cent of the whole region
will be out of blast. The McClnre Company is
the only one of tbe larger companies that has
not yet given notice of, further intended shut
downs. The works ran lire days last week, and
will make abont the same time this week. The
Frlck, McClure, Schoonmaker. Southwest,
Cambria and tbe other large companies all laid
off New Year's.
The year just closed has been an eventful
one in the history ot tbe trade. Excellent
prices prevailed and trade was briskly active in
all, sze two months, when a perceptible
decline was noted in tbo demana. The car
famine was tbe main disturbing element of the
year, and reduced shipments materially. The
price of furnace coke was S2 15 during the en
tire 12 months, sate the last week, when it was
cur down to 190. The outpnt in tons
for the year reached over 6,900,000.
The wage problem will hardly interfere with
trade. A satisfactory solution is looked for.
The Idle list of ovens iu tbe region now aggre
gates over 6.000. U.hls number will be aug
mented to G.000 before the close of
the week. The Charlotte plant here is still
idle. Cars were in plentiiul supply last
week and shipments took a spurt upward, in
creasing several hundred cars. Shipments last
week averaged 1,024 cars per day, as against
olS cars for the previous week. Tbe increase
was 1.230 cars. Following is the record of con
signments. To points west of Pittsburg,
2,850 cars: to Pittsburg and river tipple-,
1,940 car-: to points east of Pittsburg, 1,350 cars;
total, G.I40 cars. This was the record of the

TEICKS OF TEADE.
How Grease Is Foisted Onto East Enders for
Family Butter.
The opportunities for fiand in butter are
great, ,A thief in farmer's garb has been
around in the East End with an lS-pound crock
of fancy conntiy butter, ot Lite, proffering to
sell at 25 cents per pound. When fancy country
bntter is worth 35 to 40 cents per pound, as at
the present time, thero are usually victims to
be caught with the bait of 25 cents per pound.
A farmer-like looking individual victimized
one at least with an lS-pound crock of tbe very
best country butter at 25 cents per pound. On
the top of tbe crock was a two-inch layer of tbe
very best butter that could be made. Under
neath was a mass of grease, wottb about two
cents per pound. It is safe to say the crock will
not be called for.
The victim is disposed to say little concerning
tbe butter deal. When choire country butter
is selling at 35 to 40 cents per pound, the fellow
who can sell it at 25 cents has some trick on tap
by which to take in strangers.
How many victims were taken in by the but
ter trick no roan can telL but one reiall grocer
or the East End was certainly victimized to the
extent ot $5 within a few da s.

Business Men Making Haste Slowly
to Avoid Entanglements,
ALL SIGNS POINT TO A GOOD IEAB.
A Better Fcelinj mons the Speculators,
Denoting a Tarn in the Tide.
THE KEWS AXD GOSSIP OF TUB CITI
That business is not rushing along at the
high pressure speed of last year should rot
throw anyone into a fit of the dumps. There
are reasons for moving slowly. The year
ended under circumstances of grave con
cern and danger to the busiuess interests of
the country. Tne monetary stringency was
intense. The banks fortified themselves lor
emergencies, aud refused to lend except to
their regular customers, and to these very
sparingly. This was good policy. It com
pelled caution and prevented many a man
from going to the wall. Although the
clouds arc breaking away and confidence re
turning, tbe banks are still pursuing a con
servative policy. They are not free lenders.
Hence trade, deprived of sufficient stimulus
for the time being, shows less vim and aggres
sive force than at the corresponding time last
year, when the "shiews of war" were abundant
and easily obtained.
IJut, as previously pointed out, there is no
reason to apprehend that the comparative de
pression will be of long duration. Conditions
are healthy and favorable to expansion. Tbe
banks and other financial institutions aro well
supplied with money, and with the full return
of contOence it will bo released. The legacy
of caution from last year is serving as a break
water against undue speculation on the one
hand and premature expansion on the other.
It is giving peoplo time to tabc reckonings to
ascertain the drift of the tide and to prepare
for new moves. They are making haste slowly.
A good General never goes into battle until he
is ready. Prudent business men act on tbe
same principle. That the year will be a good
one there can be no doubt. All things are
shaplne themselves to this end. Tbe country
is full of energy and recuperative power that
cannot be held iu abeyance
Pittsburg is one, of the strongest financial
points in tbe coustry. This is shown in the
recent bank statements. There is no money
famine here, but it is carefully guarded as a
protection to established Industries. This
should inspire confidence. Indeed, it has al
ready had this effect. Money is easier than at
tho first of the year and business men feel
safer, as if tbey once moro stood on solid
ground. Tbe forward Impulse will continue to
gain strength, until in a short time, unless the
unexpected happen, the volume of trade will
reach if it does not surpass that of 189a There
is no ground for any other conclusion.
Business News and Gossip.
All classes of business men are hopeful.

Movements in Ttealty.
As showinsr that holders ot property havo
confidence in the stability of the market, Mr.
W. C. Stewart had this to say yesterday: "I
have orders for ten high-class properties on my
books, but am unable to fill them for the rea
son that owners will not accept what is con
sidered a fair market price. For example. I
made a man an offer of $30,000 cash for a prop
erty, which be refused. All he ever asked for
It was$33,009 I mado another man an offer of
$10,000 cash for a property which be held
at $11. COO. It cost him $9,000 a short time ago.
This shows that owners have more confidence
In realty than in any other security, and hesi
tate to sell unless they can get f nil figures."

Philadelphia Gas Abont Holds Its Own and
Electric Moves Up.
There was a better feeling among room trad
ers at the Stock Exchange yesterday, bnt it
was more apparent in sentiment than in Azures,
although the latter, taken altogether, showed
somo improvement. Total sales were 270 shares,
against 231 the previous day.
Philadelphia Gas about held its own, while
Electric gained 2 points over the previous close.
Citizens' Traction also improved its standing,
bnt Pleasant Valley submitted to a slight con
cession. Switch and Signal and Wheeling were
weak through neglect. As before remarked tbe
feeling was more buoyant. This was based on
the belief that bottom bad been really reached.
A broker remarked: "It is a marked charac
teristic of the market just now that investors
want things at their own figures, thus occupy
ing substantially tbe dual position of buyers
and sellers. Holders object to this, and, as but
few ot them are compellod to realize they are
keeping tbeir stuff out of tbe market. This is
cood policy, and if persevered in will force an
advance."

An Unusual Demand for All Kinds of
Bonds Cold Weather Sends Coal
Shares Up Other Advantgj Are
for Small Figures.
New York, Jan. 8. The stock market to
day was still strocg, bnt there was a waiting
disposition manifested by the local operators,
pending the result of tbe meeting of the Presi
dents in this city. Tbe general opinion was
that a favorable result would be obtained, and
the market exhibited considerable strength
until it was known that the meeting had ad
journed without doing any thing of Importance,
when dullness again marked tbo dealing.
Tbe faature of tbe trading, however, was the
demand for all kinds of bonds, even the low
priced bonds beginning to join in the active in
vestment demand. The coal stocks and tbe in
dustrials were also features of tbe market, as
the continuance of the present cold weather
has brought in a more confident buying, and
today Lackawanna rose nearly 4 per cent, tbe
others following.
Sugar Refineries was prominent all day long,
and strong, especially in the forenoon, though
there was no news of a kind to favorably affect
the stock beyond the postponement of the Cam
eron suit.
The day began with all tbe conditions favor
able, the reduction of its rate of discount from
5 to 4 per cent by the Bank of England being
one of the most influential. The opening prices
were, therefore, fractionally higher, and witb
the coal stocks in the lead further advances
wete made all along the line in the forenoon.
The fluctuations outside of the stocks before
mentioned, however, were slight, and while a
firm tone prevailed there was little vim in tbe
market. Dullness became the ruling fcatn re,
and continued so until tho close. The trading
element was inclined to race advantage 01 this
apathy to hammer stocks, their operations re
sulting in a partial loss of the early gains.
There wer strong spots here and there In the
list, however, and no material impession was
made upon prices. ,
The market finally rloscdi quiet and firm,
generally at something better tnan the opening
figures. The final gains of importance com
prise Lackawanna, Z: Sncar, 2; Delaware
and Hudson, 3. and Jersey Uential, ljf,
Railroad bonus were again more active but
failed to display as strong a front as during tbe
past few days, although few losses resulted.
Tne transactions foot up $2,430,000, but or that
amount Atchison incomes contributed $572,000;
Northern Pacific 5s, $134.000, .and Texas Pacific
income-, $103,000. Among the important ad
vances arc Worth and Denver, which rose 2 to
104, and New York Northern .scconds,2 to 7.
Thei'ojt says: 3'he reduction of the Bank
of Eugland rate to-day was probably a surprise
to some peoplo who thoiiEbt themselves well
informed as to the monetary situation there.
They did not expect it, because it is pretty
well understood that more gold will have to so
to Germany, and also that the 3,009,000 of the
Bank of France to tbe Bank ot England will
have to be paid in less than a month. These,
in fact, are good reasons for expecting that the
present extreme low rates for money in the
onen market in London will not continue.
Nevertheless, the Bank of England directors
are undoubtedly prepared for the withdrawals
of gold for Berlin and Pari. They would not
have reduced the rate if they thought thoy
would bo compelled to put it up asain very
soon. On the whole, it shows a great improve
ment in the monetary situation iu Loudon.

aro well stocked with potatoes, and demand is
less active than it was a few weeks ago. Fancy
stock, however, holds up to old prices. The
recent cold snap has bad tbe effect of reducing
supplies of fresh nearby eggs, and markets are
firmer. Western and Southern eggs are also
looking up. Creamery butter is lc lower than
at the beginning: of tbe week. Country butter
is slow for anything below fancy.

mish rrovlsons Weaker.
CHICAGO Tbe market for January was
local fr character and fluctuations were nar
row. .Easy money and a good demand from
abroad for floor on tbe one hand were holdmg
prices np. while oa tbeotber. Snow and Pard
rldge tried to keep them down. There was an
advance ot about VAa In the May future and lc
in tbe price for Jnly. Tbe Government crop
report was alternately speculated upon as
likely to favor tbe bears, ana again, to be on
tbe side of the bulls. One estimate made tbe
total for tbe year 400,000,000 bushels. Tbe New
York advices were that considerable Inquiry
was in progress thero by forelin houses, but
only 1 boat loads was sold for foreign ship
ment to-day. The range irt prices was narrow.
Tho lowest price was 9Gc for May. and the
highest, 970y7Jc The last quotation was
97c
There was alack of animation in tbe corn
pit during the day which- was enlivened only
during the time theoats crowd was threatening
to become hysterical over a Jfc advance in that
cereal. May corn opened at 52Jc being c de
cline since the previous afternoon, and it sold
at 52c sparingly soon after. It advanced by
slow degrees In sympathy with oats until 53;c
was paid and then iold oil to 53c, recover
ing to and closing at 6.3J-JC
Tbe liveliest business done was among tbe
oats dealers. A somewhat sudden and material
advance brought ont tbe fact that Pardrldge
was by no ratians the only short in oats. Ha
and his co-unfortunates made a lively 'hustle''
to fill their shorts, and they were only supplied
when tbey had offered a satisfactory premium
to a certain astute old speculator, who has for
some time back been quietly gathering in the
slack of the rope at which be so vigorously
tneged to-day. May started ac 45JJc sold to
455c, advanced to 46Jc declined to 46c and
hardened to46c on the close, indicating Jc
advance.
The opening prices in provisions were at a
decline of about 2c from the closine quota
tions on Wednesday. The result of the trading
was a slight decline in the speculative articles.
The estimated receipts of bogs for to-morrow
are 35.000 head.
The leading tntures ranged as follows, as cor

Advertising
it is said -will sell anything, this is
true in a measure; but for staying;
qualities,- merit is the test Extensive
advertising may sell anything -where
it is new or unknown, but after it"
co.ss into general use, it is judged
according to its -worth. The continued
and steady growth of Swift's Specific
is the best evidence of its excellence.
It is most popular where it is best
known. Every bottle sold, sells ten
others. Every one that takes it be
comes its friend, and recommends it
to their acquaintances.
