TBADE IS LIMITED In IroD, With no Certainty of a Very Early Improvement. RUT LITTLE COSINESS GOISG. A Consolidation 1 hat h Expected to Lead to Good Results. STATE OP FOKEIGX METAL MARKETS ISrECIAL TELEOHAM TO THE, BIBrATCn.j Kew Yokk, Jan. 15. The Iron Age of this issue quote; the New York metal mar kets as follows: Tbi! marked improvement in the financial situation is expected to bare its inflaenco on the iron trade at an early aate. Generally speaking lucre Is more inquiry, but as yet tbe amount of business is limited, aud it is not quite clear whether there is any prospect of an early improvement. American rig Accounts of sellers differ iery widely. Some confess that they find it very hard work to make any showing of busi ness at a reasonable price, while others claim to be doing quite well and speak very emphat ically on the point that consumption is veil maintained. On the wbnlo wo cannot trace much business. The shutdown in the valleys has lit:le influence in this market, the quantity or iron comiuc f roni tbeni being small at any time, it does, however, give some relief to the f urnacemen ol Northern New York. The ma jority of the Southern furnaces have not done much in this market. We quote standard Northern brands 16 75Q17 50 for No. 1:1516 00 IS 50 for No. 2. and Sll 50015 50 for gray Jorge. Cinder mixed iron made at a furnace in this vicinity is being offered at a low figure. Spiegeleisen and ferro-spiegel remains life less and nominal at $2 0029 50. There has been some business in ferro. and there is smne inquiry. It i reported that a We-teru mill has boucbt 203 tnn at less than 61 at tide waier. We quote SGHpfii. Uillets The inarkri in the East is quiet. From the West comes the report on excellent until on ty that billets have been sold at Pitts burg at $21 25. that being the lowest point reached. It i not believed that It is possible to come nea' that figure now. atcel Hails Omya few sales arc reported, on the basis of 27 60g2S. at Eastern mills, al though at least one Eastern mill has offered to t-ell in the West at prices equivalent to 27 at mill. The majority of the works ask S2S for earlv delivery and$2930 for later work The report that the Scrjuiou and the Lackawanna works have consolidated is somewhat prema ture, since the preliminary papers onlv have been signed. It i proper" to state, however, that the consolidation will probably take place. The two works were very sharp rivals, con siderable pefeonal antagonism entering into the rivalry, at least by one of them. In the rail trade generally the transaction is regarded as likely to plico matters on a better footing. It rnaj have considerable influence, too, in bring ing to a sucec.-sful issue the negotiations now pending between the rill mills. A meeting of renicscntatiies is now in piogresin this city. Manufactured Iron and Steel The market cmitiuucs quiet and is somewhat weak, partic ularly for plates. In stiuctural work only a very moderate amount of business is coming up.

The Demand Continues to Fall Off and Production Is Being Kestrlcted Over 5.G0O Ovens Aro Now Inactive Drop in Shipments. JSI'ECIAI. TELEOUAM TO TUE DISPATCn.l Scottdale, Jan. 15. It is an indisputable fact that there is a. lull in the coke market. The indefinite suspension of th many furnaces pre cludes the possibility of an early improvement. It is plainly apparent that the surrounding con ditions will bccomc'raorc enfeebled. An event of vital importance to the coke region has transpired iu the banking of the Mahoning and Shenango Valley furnaces. These plants con sumed hundreds of cars dally, and in consequence the Western demand has suffered a wonderful diminution. Tno banking of these plants was forewarned in THE Dispatch some weeks since, in the event that railroad companies would not carefully consider their demands. The coke producers, the main suf ferers ot this shutdown, -reduced the price of coke 25 cents a ton to help them nut of the hole. There arc rumors of dissatisfaction among, Eastern furnacciuen over price5, but there is no confirmation of them iu this region. There was but little activity in the district last week, and still there was a creditable amount of business done, despite the lessened demand. Orders were filled with notable alacnty. the transportation facilities were iu good shape and consignments were gotten rapidly to destination. One operator spoke" as follows: "The outlook if unfavorable. It has not been so bluo in a cor responding period for some years past. Last year, yon will remember, that at this time there was an enormous demand for production and unprecedented shipments. To the downward tendency ot the pig irn market, and the blowing out of lurnarcs attending it, is due the present embarrassing eituation. We hope fondly that an improved demand will soon set in. As to the demands ot our workmen, they aro extravagant, and in all justice a reduction should be accepted by tbeui." The demand continues to fall off, and for the first time m several years, cars laden with coke are standing at the plants becanse of ro matket for them. The various produc ing companies are directing their efforts to restoring trade to normal condition, but are forced to restrict production still further on account of lack ot orders. The Hecla Com pany has untitled its employes that br reason of the depression in trade, they will closedown 25 per cent more of their ovens, making 50 per cetit that will bo out uf blast. Many of the Independent operators have already 50 per cent of their ovens out of bUst. The Schoonmaker. Southwest, 'and Calumet Com panies shut down 25 per cent of .their interests on Friday and Saturday of last week. The Schoonmaker Company closed 111 ovens at Kedstone, 34 at Mutual, US at. Jlmtown and Sterling, 60 at Youugstown and 75 at Centrak 'the Southwest Company shut down 162orens at Moorhead and 10U at Southwest No. 4. The Calumet Company closed 42 ovens. Be tween 35 and 40 per cent of the whole region is idle. Five days' operations was the rule in the region last week. McClure ran five days, and will make the same run this week. Frick, Schoonmaker and the Southwest companies observed the one-day shutdown. The smaller operators all made the same run with a couple of exceptions. Rainey made sir days as nsnai. The list of inactive ovens numbers over 5,GU0. There have been no resumptions, nor are there likely to be any soon. A number of the works have been boarded up. which is a sign of prolonged idleness. The covers prevent the ovens from crum bling away. The United, Hill Farm and Charlotte plants are still idle. The construction of the new Juniata plant is being Dressed vigorously. There are yet over 10.400 active ovens. Sbipmeuts last week averaged 734 cars per day, as against 1.021 cars of the urevious week. The total decrease was 1,557 cars. Followiugis the record of consignments: To points west of Pittsburg, 2,096 cars: to Pittsburg and river tipples, 1,250 cars; to points eat-ot Pittsburg. 1,257 cars; total, 4,603 cars, following is the record of tbo preceding week: To points west or Pittsburg, 2,850 cars; to Pittsburg and river tiuples, 1.910 cars; to points east ot Pitlsburc, l,3o0 cans; total. 6.140 cars.

The Benefits Expected to Grow Out of the Kew Departure. TALK WITH ONE OF THE INSIDERS. s. Kot So Much of a Sensation in Electric as Most People Expected. THE KEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY The new departure in the method of hand ling real estate in Pittsburg the intro duction of the auction room as au auxiliary to the present system being particularly assured, something in regard to its advan tage is in order. This may be premised by the statement that the city has grown so much aod business expanded to such an ex tent in the last few years, that real estate can no longer be efficiently bandied iu the old way. A step in advance has, therefore, become a necessity. As for the benefits expected to be derived from the establishment of an auction room, a gentleman prominently identified with the movement said yesterday: "It will give owners an opportunity to reach the whole market instead of a fraction of it. It will bring buyen together and thus increase competition, which, as everybody knows, is the life of trade. It will make, a ready market. Instead of requiring three or four months to work up a sale, as is the case now. transactions will be prompt. Business men will be more likely to invest, becauio they will have an as surance that they can find customers in case they shall need ready money to tide over unex pected difficulties. 'The location of the room has not been de termined upon, but to secure the attendance of those it Is desired to reach, it must be cen tral and convenient ot access. There is no .reason why it should not soon become one ot the most popular and best attended resorts in the city, as the business transacted there con cerns everybody in the two cities and suburban districts. Sales at the beginning will take place on one or wo stated days of the week, but later, should business justify it. they will be held daily, or as often as necessary. "The auction room will be under the control of a special oommittee, one of whose duties will bo to see that all sales arelairly conducted. No fictitious bidding will be allowed, so that when anyone is bidding be can rest assured that any other bidder for the same property is a bona fide buyer. "Should the plan work as expected and hoped I think it probable that before the year is out tho modest auction room will develop Into a regular real estate exchange." At the meeting this afternoon, at the same time and place as before, final steps will no dou bt be taken to put the organization in work ing order. Business News and Gossip. Electric was the talk of the street yesterday. Everybody w ished it well. Local .bank clearings are growintr. Business will soon be in full swing.

HOME SECURITIES. Considerably Less Commotion In Electric Stock Than Was Expected. As was to be expected, the refusal of the banks to come to the help of the Electric Com pany had a depressing effect upon the stock, but not to the decree anticipated. It did not go "all to pieces." It opened at 7, sold down to G and advanced to 7, and closed at 7. with so much uncertainty as to the outcome of the difficulty that everybody was at sea, and there was no pronounced opinion as to what course the stock would take. It is certain, however, that it caunot go much lower unless it is given away, and this fact was at the bottom uf the buying. There was a disposition all round to check the decline by keeping large blocks off the market, and it is thought this end was ac complished, as offerings were moderate, and no undue excitoment manifested. x A broker who is familiar with the affairs 61 the Electric Company ias this to say: "The breal- to-day was not so sharp as 1 had ex pected. This was due to the fact that tbo action of the banks bad been freely discounted. The return of the checks was therefore no sur prise to tbo street. It is still hoped that enough of the preferred stock will be marketed to meet pressing obligations; or, if not, that consolidation with the Thompson-Houston Company will be effected, whereby they will pay the debts of tho local concern. In any event, according to good authority, the busi ness will be continued. It is too valuable to be allowed to go under."

A Feverish Day on the Street, Caused by Silver Legislation New England Sltares Alone Escape a Decline Even Silver Drops a Peg, New York". Jan. 15. The passage of the un limited silver coinage bill by the Senate yester day furnished the mainspring of operations in the stock market to-day, and altogether the in fluence was adverse to values, although opin ions differ as t? the ultimate effect of the bill. Its most marked effect to-day was seen in tho material decline in the price of Silver Certifi cates, which, if anything, itwasexpoctod would be benefited by such a measure. The drift of opinion among the silver speculators, however, was that the very extremity of-tho measure would defeat it, and as littio hope of its getting through tho House was entertained many who have bough: and held on for this very event sold out as quickly as possible, making a drop of 2 cents and more in the value of the certifi cates. Another effect of the passage of tho bill upon the stock market was tho stiffening of tho rates of exchange caused by the larce purchase by people who fear the outcome of such legisla tion. The conservative people who have lately been investing in securities also became cau tious, and the market being left without this most influential support became a.i easy prey to the reactionists and the bears, and were joined by the traders In their efforts to get ) ices down, and the result of their efforts is seen in the. materially low prises established during the day. The sensation of tho day was the strength in New England, which has been rising mysteri ously for a longtime, but to-day a reason was forthcoming in the assertion that both the New England and New Haven have aunlied to the Legislatures of Connecticut and "Massa cbusets for the. passage of alaw which would permit them to consolidate. The strength in New England, in fact, bad some influence in Treating a resistance to the downward move ment iu the early trading, but the general list soon broke away from it, and the tendency for most ot the day was downward after that time. Tho market was narrower than for soino time, the few leading stocks monopolizing a greater .share uf the dealings than at any timo since the first of the year, aud the movements of importance were almost entirely confined to these stocks. Tho opening was weak under the pressure of the roactiooary element, but tbo usual demand of the first hour, together with the unusual strength shown by N ew Eng land, rallied the market, and prices, as a rule, were again brought up to about the level uf last night's figures. .V The pressure-, however, soon forced -M$c1ne, and while the list displayed considerable fevcr ishnessand irregularity during the day, each decline carried prices a little lower than the preceding one, and in the last hour there was a iarge amount of short stock Dut on the market, with the effect of accelerating the decline, and the lowest prices of the day were reached at tbo close Missouri Pacific displayed some strength in the early trading, but gave way with tho re mainder after the first hour, while the retalia tory moasures of the Rock Island in shutting the Union Pacific from its tracks had tho most marked effect upon the last named stock at the opening, its first price being 1 per cent lower than last night's figure. It got but a shado lower, however, and closed with tbo opening loss. Sugar showed the continuance of tho liquidations, aud after opening off 1 percent fell away still farther. The Grangers, Villards and tho London favorites were all especially weak, though in the last named it looked more like manipulation for effect than real selling for foreign account. The final changes ara almost in the direction of lower prices, the only marked exception being a gam of W in New Knglaitdwbich re acted toward the close. The losses Include Rock Island and Sugar, each 2: St. Paul. 1; Colorado Coal.Unlnn Pacific and Louisville aud Nashville, each 1: C, C C fc St. L. and Atch ison, each 1; Nurth American, 1: Chicago Gas. Burlington, Lackawanna, Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred and Western Union, each, 1 per cent, and others fractions. The railroad bond market shows a still de creasing volume of business and a rather weaker tone from day to day, while the fluctu ations grow smaller andsmaller. The buiineis done to-day reached only 31,940,000. of which Atchison incomes contributed (121,000, and FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, Reading firsts Incomes.J126.0C0.Tbe final changes of note, aftera day of irregular changes and an absence of tone, are generally insignificant, and the few important changes quite irregu lar.

Lively Times In the Wheat Tit, With Bulls on the linn Corn Shaky Trout the Start Oats Give Way Provisions Weak. CHICAGO The prlnelpfll interest of the session to-day centered, as usual, in the wheat pit, which between a quiet introduction and final close embraced a considerable period of more than ordinary activity. Weakness was the feature of the day, although the actual de cline since yesterday afternoon was only Jc in the May delivery and Jc in July. The ex pression ot the general opinion, at the opening showed itself in favor of higher prices. The opening transactions were at 90 c for May, which was a shade of improvement since yes terday. For nearly an hour tbo market was supported by a moderate number of buying orders, and the price of tho Mav delivery was held within the range of 96962c The market had bo faracted after the manner of a deliberative body which bad passed a bill by a narrow majority, requiring, however, the assent of the executive head before it could be come a law. Pardridge represented the guber natorial goal, wielding tbo veto thunderbolts, and hurled a few sample shafts of his forked lightning into the wheat pit in the shape of a band of brokers with selling orders, in token of his entire dissent from the opinion of tho former majority. There was a slight decline after this action and a few minutes of protest ing on the other side, but quick compliance with the mandate which had gone forth was en forced by more of those messengers, whose ad ditional selling orders made a quick submis sion aopear the safest outlet from an uncom fortable position. The price began to yield; slowly at first, but with a momentum which momentarily kept in creasing to the accompaniment of that dull roar of many voices which plainly told that the bulls were on the run. During the rush of the bulls to sell out their wheat, which was the main featuro of tbo market for an hour, tbe price of May declined to 95Jic From extreme activity there was a change to dullness. The price reacted to 96c for May, and closed with soller at that price There was weakness in corn from the be ginning. Trading was inactive, and fluctua tions showed a tondency toward a lower level as the session progressed. Oats attracted more attention than usual, the market acclining steadily under free sell ing, and closed c lower. Provisions started firm on tbo smaller re ceipts of bogs and the activity in the demand for them at better prices as reported from the yards. The weakness in grain circles may have had something to do with a weakness which succeeded the early strength, but the packers found their advantage in selling, and that was probably tbe principal hindrance to an advance Tbe leading futures ranged as lollows, as cor rected by John M.
