EEI'ORTS FROM THE LEADING CE.NTEES
V There are no signs of improvement in the
situation since our lust report. For the
first time in many months Southern irons
have been brought to this market and the
effect has been to still further depress mar
kets -which had been already too loir for
profit to producers. It is difficult to see how
producers of raw iron can come out even at
present rr:ce.
A leading iron broker said to-day: "In
my opinion the present question with
lurnaccicca !s as to the amount ofiosi, for
there is little doubt that all are
losing if they tim'uee and sell at
presatt p'i.-es. "VY'.cn the cost o'
materials and freights are Uken into

rWElt-Vt. TfLtrKAJI TO TUK DISPATCK.:
BlKMINClIAM, Ala., Jan. 9. Fifteen fur
naces in this district are now out of blast, and
tbe strike of the coal miners continues with no
prospect of an early settlement. The National
Mine Workers Union Lis issued an appeal lor
aid for the Alabama strikers, and if ihe re
sponses are prompt and liberal tho strike can
be carried on all winter. The iron trade is. of
coarse, thoroughly demoralized, and there is no
prospect lor a change unless the reduced out
pat should cauc an advance of prices, of which
the manufacturers are hopeful. There has
been no chango 111 prices since last week and
verj few sales, even atthelowpncesprcvailing.
"No cur.tiact.- lor luture delivery are being
made and the ordcis coming In are for small
lo.soulv.
Ti e indications arc that all iron and steel
workers, who are me-ulicrs of the various
Unions will be talli d out in support of the coal
miner.-, and all the furnaces and rolling mills
may be forced to shut down. The strike is novr

ts lecognition of their union, they now admit
they would return to work if the operators
would reronuo their oruer. While a large
amount ot coal is being mined by non-union
men still the output is not enough to keep the
coke ovens and furnaces going. Ihe 1C0 coke
ovens at Jasper have been closed down almost
since the beginning ot the strike.

A Great Improvement Visible In tlie Cin
cinnati Iron market.
trRClAl. TELECUA3I To mi mPATViT..
CXEcr ATT, Jan. 3 Roger?. Brown fc Co.
ny: The iron market is not without features of
interest. While buying is not active or general,
there it, nevertheless, a great improvement
over tbe past few weeks. Naturally, much
irregularity is shown in transactions. Soma
furnaces, both North and Sooth, have accepted
very low figures, in order to turn stock on band
into much-needed money. Tbe almost com
plete suspension of business during Decern Der
tended to rednce stocks In consumers' yards to
a minimum, and increase stocks at furnaces.
For tbe latter reason the wholesale blowinc out
of stacks In Alabama in December has not bad
the prompt effect on the market that was ex
pected. How long it will be before this restric
tion of output will bring about a decline will
depond much upon the extent of the demand
from consumers, which tbe new year will de
velop. Nearly two-thirds ot tbe furnaces in the
Birmingham district proper aro either banked
or blown nut. Those which are banked on ac
count of the strike would not start again if tho
stribe were terminated unless prices were im
proved. A somewhat extended inquiry among
lonndry and rolling mills reveals a hopeful
spirit aud a fair degree of activity all around.
PEICES BAUGISTJ WW,
But the New Tear Has Started In Fairly
Well at Chicago.
rurrciAL tklkjejlm to tub dispatch
Chicago, Jan. tt Rogers, Brown & Morwln
say: Tho year has started in showing consider
able buving; sales ranging all tbe way from 500
tons upwards, many of the largest consumers
in tho district having depleted their stocks and
realizing that prices aro not likely to range
much lower. The iron sold has been largely
Southern and Northern coke brands, the latter
covering a heavv percentage of tonnage
booked. Prices have ranged low. In some
cases sprrial figures have been made for quick
shipments and prompt pavment. The ontioolt
indicates a fair sized buying movement during
the next SO to CO daj s, with prices ranging on
about present basis.
It is now recognized that production has
been largely cutdown by the blowing out and
banking of furnaces, both North and Month.
On the other hand a curtailment in consump
tion is also being felt. Wo quote for cash t. o.

Few Changes in Prices Tho Lull Which
Follows Holidays.
Prices of market basket filling have not mi
tciially changed since last Samrday. The mild
wintry weather of the week has no doubt cur
tailed demand. At tbe Diamond Market stalls
trade is reported uncomfortably quiet lor the
week past. The first German cabbage of tbe
season put in an appearance this week. Cucum
bers arc scarce and higher. Other vegetables
remain as quoted a week ago. With the excep
tion of cod and haddock all the offerings in fish
lines are now frozen stock. Demand for fish
has been light since the holidays, but
prices are maintained. There has been
scarcity of large salmon Tor a few days past and
also of selected oysters. Supply of standard
oysters is light, but demand corresponds. Tbe
game Season is practically over and rabbits are
about all that can be had in this line and tboy
atn uum waiucu.
The old tellable meatsare in better demand
since the holidav feasting on poultry, but
prices remain unchanged. The nps and downs
of live stock rarely affect prices of meat and
tenderloin steaks. Whcu jirime beeves were
selling at 7c per pound alive, the best cuts were
sold .it about the same priee as now. when top
prico is oa per pound.

rush, and low ir prices. We are having the re
action which uniformly follows tbe Christmas
and New Year's boom.

EAST END SENSATION.
Nnmerous Suits in Fjectment Filed
Against the Occupants of
HOMEWOOD CEMETERY PROPERTY.
History of the Case and Statement of the
Plaintiffs' Attorney.
PEOTEACTED LEGAL CONTEST PEXDIKG
A complication of great importance to a
large number of residents in the East End,
and possessing some romantic as well as
sensational features, was unearthed by The
Dispatch representative yesterday after
noon. The patent to 284 acres in the Twenty
second ward, comprising the HomewooJ
Cemetery and considerable adjoining prop
erty, was taken out nearly 100 years ago by a
man named Charles Duke. He sold a portion
of it to William Wilkins, and he in turn sold to
a gentleman named Hailman botbpiominent
citizens in the early history of the city. Subse
quently tbe cemetery was laid out and other
improvements made on the tract.
Some of the Duke heirs, of whom all trace
had been lost, now come forward and claim
that tbe title of the property is still vested in
them, and to enforce their alleged rights tbey
have commenced ejectment suits against a
number of the occupants claiming proprietor
ship under deeds passing from Wilkins and
Hailman.
Those cases will soon come np for determina
tion, and their disposition will settle the right
to the property. The case involves a largo
number of persons and several millions of
dollars, and will be hotly contested.
Mr. J. F. Cox, attorney for the plaintiffs, was
sought and readily gave some additional im
portant information. After reading the fore
going be remarked: 'That is about right.
George Duke and Mary Clark, the heirs of
Charles Duke, tbe patentee, sold to William
Wilkins 01 acres. Sir. Wilkins toot possession
of the whole tract of 2S1 acres. The heirs will
certainly be able to prove from the records
themselves that only 61" acres were conveyed to
William Wilkins. As to the statute of limita
tions there has never been a time when it was
operative against tbe present plaintiffs, so as to
give title by possession to the present occu
pants of the land. I think we have a good
case and it will be pushed."
Tho cemetery contains 175 acres, leaving
about CO acres of the disputed property out
side. This is understood to be embraced in the
Hailman and Coleman estate?, upon which are
numerous and valuable improvements.
Beginning of an Exchange.
A large meeting of real estate b-okers was
held at the office of tuo-Reaf JCstale Hecord
yesterday evening, presided over by Thomas
Liggett. Steps were taken to establish an auc
tion salesroom for real estate This Is consid
ered tbe germ of -a regular exchange. Sub
scriptions amounting to S5S0 were made to de
velop the movement. Another meeting will
be held at tbe same place next Tuesday after
noon to hear reports ot committees and per
fect the organization. The sentiment iu favor
of the new plan for handling realty was unani
mous, Business News and Gossip.
A prominent citizen of Greensburg was in
the city yesterday, looking lor a business stand.
He may locate out Fifth avenue
Heal estate transactions in Denver last year
aggregated nearly 870,000,000, but only about 25
per cent of the business was for improvement.
In the latter respect Pittsburg leads all other
cities.
The largest of 22 mortgages on file yesterday
was for 4,000. Each of seven was for less than
JL.000.
Capitalists are becoming a little more liberal
in their inquiries for mortgages, showing easier
money.
The dispute over tbe title to the Homewood
Cemetery property is fun for the lawyers, but
rather bard on the occupants who purchased
in good faith.
Brokers were in mourning yesterday for the
death of K. IL Robinson, a member of the Ex
change. They held a meeting and adopted
eulogistic resolutions.
Dividends continue to bs declared by local
corporations. Their stock is in demand at top
prices.
Local stocks appear to have touched bottom
at last. A few buying orders would give them
an upward Impulse.

All the News at the Banks of a Favorable
Character.
Interviews with several prominent financiers
yesterday served to strengthen tbe claim that
tho local monetary situation is Improving.
Checking Is moderate, giving tbe banks an
opportunity to accumulate a surplus.
Collections are easier. A month ago 10 to 0
per cent of bills was paid in paper, which the
banks refused to discount. Now payments are
all cash. Yearly settlements are releasing
largo amounts. Money Is flowing in from the
West. Country banks are renewing their bal
ances In city institution There is more confi
dence and less hoarding.
There is encouragement all along tbe line,
and when tbe effects of last year's legacy of
uncertainty have rnn their course, and people
find out that tbey were more scared than hurt,
tbe reaction will be sharp and permanent.
Caution should bo observed, however, to avoid
extremes.
Money was easy yesterday -with a feir de
mand. Interest rates were 6S)7 percent. De
positing was good, denoting a ueilthy condition
of trade. Clearings were $1,917.21.1 27 and bal
ances $222,032 S3, both items showing a gain
over tho previous dav.
Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy, ranging from 2J to A per cent, last loan 3,
closed offered at & Prime mercantile paper
7SK- Sterling exchange quiet but strong at

NEW YOBK STOCKS.
A Steady Rise in Shares and Bonds Since the
New Year Began Reading the Only
Loser Atchison" and Sugar
Were Conspicuous.
New Youk, Jan. 9. The stock market to-day
was strong throughout, and tbe result of the
trading is a decided advance in many stocks,
among which were Manhattan, Union Pacific,
Wheeling and Lake Erie, both common and
preferred, Lackawanna and Sugar Trust.
There were many favorable influences at work
to cause the improvement in prices, and chief
among these was the proceedings of tbe rail
road conference now in session in this city.
Money continues to rule easier, and the supply
of stock offering is not excessive, considering
the demand.
To-day, while there was undoubted manipu
lation for higher prices in some of the leading
specialties, this very fact induced considerable
covering of shorts. Some long stock was sup
plied by Insiders, but it is well known that large
short lines have been covered, which were put
out at from four to five points lower, and this
indicates that the professionals recognize the
strong foundation which the market now rests
upon.
Tho great feature of tbe market was the
manipulation of sugar. It was of the old
fashioned kind, and resulted in a rise of over
5 per cent, tbe amonnt of business done in it
being largely increased. In the general list the
upward movements were on a much smaller
scale, but were based on a much firmer founda
tion, and while there were periods of dullness
and reaction, the upward movement met, with
no serious interruption during tbe day.
The opening was strong, and durintr the fore.
noon the heavy coverings of shorts sent prices
up rapidly, and while the movement was much
less pronounced later In the day, the strong
tone was never impaired. Atchison rose on tbe
reports that .Mr. Gould had bought a larce
block of tbe stock from the Barings. Iu the
Vlllards, which were prominent also, there was
manipulation for higher figures, supposed to bo
by tbe Standard Oil Interest. The Grangers
were all strong on the results of the confer
ence, but no marked gains were scored outside
of Rock Inland, which has been subjected to
some sovere pressure of late.
The closo was strong and confident, at or
near the best figure. Reading is the only one
among the active stocks showing a decline this
evening, and among tbe important gains are
Sugar Refineries. 5 per cent; Rock Island and
Northern Pacific each ljft wheeling and Lake
Erie, preferred. JK; Western Union. St, Paul
and Colorado Coal, each 1; Wabash, pre
ferred. 1. and Missouri Pacific New England
and Nortnern. Pacific, preferred, each Iper
cent. 4
Railroad bonds were more active than at any
time lor a long while certainly -ince last
spring and with transactions ol $3,972,000 ma
terial improvement was made in prices all along
the line. The only marketl exception to this
rule was the Reading issues, which were sold
because of tbe non-payment of Interest on the
incomes. There was again great activity in
spots, and Atchi'on incomes furnished $298,000,
the Tcxa Pacific Incomes $265,000, the North
ern Pacific 5i $232,000-and tho Kansas and
Texas $135,000 t'Uhe grind total. Kansas and
Texas seconds, 3iK.toll:Toledn,St.Louisand
Kansas City firsts, 2. to bi; Louisville, St,
Lnm; and Texas firsts. 2, to 85.
The Post says: The fact tuat the prices of
both stocks and bonds have advanced pretty
steadily ever since the beginning of the year,
notwitstandiug constant, though not very enpi.
on", liquidation on tllepajrt of tho London
houses most Conspicuous in the recent embar
rassments, shows that there is not only plenty
of money in this country, but that confidence
is being restored. Loudon h.ts been a persist
ent seller of all of tho Atchison sccnrlties, but
especially of tbe Incomes, and to some extent
also of Northern Pacibc 5s, beside Louis
ville and Nashville aud some ot the
other favorites of European investors.
Tho total sales of railroad and mis
cellaneous bonds on tbe New York stock
exchange since January 1 hare been $12,809,000,
of. which there vvero of Atchison incomes
$1,735,000: Atchison 4s, $331,000: Northern Pa
cific 5s, $1,101,000: Texas Pacific lsts. $128,000;
Texas Pacific 2ds. $160,000; a total of $3,765,000,
or 29 per cent of the whole. There is reason for
thinking that sales ot tbe Atchison securities
were almost wholly for London account, and
were made by parties who, having carried them
through the panic becausa it wonld have been
injudicious to try to sell them then, are doing
so now when they can do it with saiety aud
without depressing tho prices. Tins is one
cause of the continued rising of the rate of
exchange in remittances lor tbe securities
sold.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
German eabbage is on the marketf or tbe first
time this season the last day or two, and is ac
tive at more than donole the price of the home
raised article. Onions are higher and firm.
Apples go slow on account of blgb prices.
When oranges are little higher than apples, as
is the case this season, tbe latter are neglected.
Markets aro well supplied with potatoes, but
faucy stock continues steady at outside quota
tions. Poultry is' in good demand and prices
are tending higher. Views of commission men
vary as to value of eggs. Soma quoted fresh
nearby stock, at Sc per dozen, while others
claim that there is no trouble getting 29c for
job lots and SOc for single cases. Creamery
butter is slow at a decline of lo per pound since
the first of the week.

Groceries.
An advance of Jc per pound on sngar is due
and is likely to go into effect to-morrow. An
equivalent to this advance has already been
made In the East, but jobbers bcre were selling
at old prices to-day. The movement of coffee
Is quiet, and markets are barely steady at old
prices. General trade is good, but has not
fairly opened.

AVheat Rather Qnlet "vTlth the Tone Steady
to Frin Corn Makes a Slight Gain
Oats Come Higher Provis
ions Unchanged.
CHICAGO Tbe news mills were all at work
during tho session to-day, both liulls and bears
sending in a good-sized grist, in wheat the tone
was. during the greater part of tbe time, from
steady to firm. The cables were of the same
firm complexion as of late, and tbe impression
prevailed, locally, that a bnll inning should be
about due to succeed the heaviness which has
prevailed ever since the bankers of the coun
try took fright at the condition of tbe English
money market. Business in the pit was only
moderately active and tbe fluctuations were
narrow. Individual trading was principally of
a scalping character.
The corn market was firm and made another
slight gain iu prices. The accounts from the
States of Kansas and Nebraska were bullish in
their tendency.
Oats scored another advance on tbe strength
of light receipts and a good demand for the
cash article. Hntcbinson, " Aldrlcb and
Schwart-Dupee were the principal buyers,
while 3Iilmine-Rodman led tbe selling. The
opening was at 40c for May. Thence the
price went to 46&iGc, to 47c, to46JJc to
4f closing at tuat price, Je above yesterday.
Toe provision market vyu dull and feature
less. It opened qnletand unchanged. Cudaby
was a seller of ribs and lard and Ryan and
other packers were sellers of ribs when an op
portunity offered to do so without breakingthe
price. Opening at slight declines from yester
day's close, owing to heavy receints ot hogs,
there was a small advance followed by. a re
duction, then another advance to outside
figures.
The leading futures ranged 03 follows, as cor

CnMBEitiiAirD, Ma, Jan. 9. One or the
latest and most extensive, schemes that has

COMPLAIHED OF THE HICKEL PLATA
Tbe Method That Road Pursues of Cutting
Passenger Rates.
Chicago, Jan. 9. Some friction ezisU
between the Nickel Plate, and the Chicago
and Erie Eailroad relative to second-class
passenger rates. The Nickel Plate runs no
second-class cats on its trains, but furnishes
its-second-class passengers with first-class
accommodations. In this way it practically
reduces lirst-ciass rates to second-class fig
ures. . .-
The Chicago and Erie has entered a pro
test against such a course, and has notified
the Vanderbilt lines that ii they do not re
strain the Nickel Plate it will take such ac
tion as it deems necessary to protect its busi
ness. " -
