2sr.iv York, Jan. 2i TIic iron Age of
to-day quotes the American iron aud metal
markets as follows:
American Pis Business has been on a
moderate scale, without any important
change of price. The famous "opening
prices" of tlie leading lichigh company have
notlyet been promulgated, but it must be
noted that the excite little interest now as
compared to the attention they commanded

Jstcel Rails At tho meeting of representa
tives of steel rail manufacturers, held in this
city last week, tho plan outline I in the past in
the Iron Age was adopted, except that a modi
fication .ts made in the amount payable per
ton lor excess over percentages allotted. It is
tenoned that percentages of one of thegroup
ot mills -arc not fiually adjusted. The an
nouncement that the combination iaa been
i nrmcil and is now effective is, however, de
cidcdlj premature, and some time maj elapse
before t i-. While the chances are in
i-oT of the ultimate adoption of the
plan, the possibility still exists that the efforts
luaue inaj come to nothing The positive btatc
ments concerning iho negotiations of two
bcranton mills vihich have gone the rounds are
similarly premature. As He reported last week,
oal preliminary arrangements erc perfected.
A number of details must still bo adjusted be
fore the Lackawanna Iron ard bttel Companv
becomes the successor of the Lacka wanna Coal
and Iron l"ortrian and the bcranton bteel
Companj It is lugblv probable that the consol
idation will be effected, but there is a remote
possibilitj tha it mij still fall through
A a crv croneous impression has been created
by the persistent mistake of alluding to the
transaction as an "absorption" of the bcranton
by the Lackawanna Company. It is conceded
Cenerallj in the rail trade that the null of the
former compiny is In far the better, as its
record of producing 100.00J tors in six months
f hows. The position which the Scrauton bteel
Companj has acquired is highly creditable to
the technical management of W. W. bcraaton.
of bcranton, and to the commercial ability uf
"W alter bcranton. of New York. For its sue
the mill umiuestiouablv occupies first rank as a
producer in this conntrv. and with Cornwall

has ranked with that of any other

whole of the New England market, has taken
the business of roads liko the Sew York
Central and a number of leading coal roads,
lias held the trade of inauy Southern lines and
cinturcd frequently important Western and
Carailian oiuers. To speak of an "absorb
tion"' under such circumstances is to imply
that the other participant in the undertaking
is the greater As a matter of fact, the de
liveries in ISM of the "absorbed" member of
the consolidation were 40,000 tons greater than
those of the "absorber "
raies during the week have aggregated about
20.000 tons In Eastern mill, the bulk being for

-RrECIAL TCLrCnAJI TO THE DISPATCH.!
Xew Yoi:k, Jan. 22. The Iron Age of to-day
quotes the foreign iron and metal markets as
follows: London pig iron warrants have been
traded in moderately, and prices have fluctua
ted within a narrow range. Latest sales were at
47s2a617sJdfnrbcotcb, 42s42s 31 for Cleve
land and SosgoSs 2o for hematite. Holders of
warrants are calling for delivery of iron,
making promnts scarce. The rumor has circu
lation that a London clique is endeavoring to
make a "corner," but r othing definite comes to
the surface regarding the alleged moeracnt
Scotch slocks decreased 3 59S tons last week,
making a reduction or 8.760 tons the past fort
night. 1'ig iron has been dull throughout the
week, btraits sliiumcnts the first hair of the
month were heavier than anticipated, but the
movement during the last half is expected to be
smaller. The traao demand continues very
tteadj.
A largo business has been done in copper
warrants at about 153 5s lor prompts and
there is a decided 1eu1.1l of "bull ' specula
tion. Americans are selling Ircclv, however,
aud all bujing orders here are promptly met.
Prices, therefore, do not use, as the statistical
position would warrant. 11) ere is still an un
certain feeling 111 some quarters, owing to
doubts as to the amount ot supply that may
come forward from Amenca and the designsof
largo European holders, btocks decreased

tlie hrst half ot tho month, 'liansactious in

A BETTER DEMAND.
A Gratifying Increase in Coke Shipments
Fumacemen Are Beginning to Till Up
Their Stocks Shipping Facilities
in Satisfactory-Condition.
IFPECIAI. TXLF.QHAM to'tH DISPATCH.!
Scottdale, Jan. 22. The coke market is
tottering along at the rate of four and five days
per week with about one-third of the entire re
gion out of blast. The demand was a trifle
better last week and shipments took a spurt
upward, increasing several hundred cars in
consequence. The increased demand was
caused by furnacemen, who have sufficient
orders on hand for production, filling up their
stock houses to prevent a shortage oft fuel in
tho event or coke workers inaugurating a
strike It is remarked that the yards of
the plants at Braddock contain mountains of
coke, sufficient to operate them uninterruptedly
for several months. At different points cover
ing the West, the furnace men are making like
preparations for any emergency. It is tbongbt
that the difhculties arising from the miners'
demands will be bridged over, although it is
conceded that the prospects for such a con
sumption are none too bright. The valley
furuaces are still idle, with no indica
tions for early resumption. Some Eastern fur
nacemen threaten an early shut-down on ac
count of prices, but it is thought their desires
have been gratified, for tho- present at least.
bhipping facilities were in a satisfactory con
dition last week an J nothing in this line hin
dered the smooth running of the region. The
demand was fairly active from the
West, due to increase t orders from
the Illinois Steel Conipan?. The Pittsbur
demand was brisk, while th Eastern demand
fell off somewhat. A gentleman, conversant
with the present surrounding conditions of the
dike trade, said to your correspondent to-day:
"There are no special features in trade. I am
of the opinion that if it maintains the present
gait until spring it will do well. Ot the furnaces
idle, there aro not the remotest ideas when
they can be resumed. The iron market
is not gliding along under auspicious
conditions. and as poor prices are
ruling. the producers aro reluctant
to starting up their plants, and are marketing
their stocked production. There may.be some
thing good in store for trade, but it is certainly
not in view jast now."
There was more activitvin the region last
week than was- manifested the previous week.
Works ran more regularly. The Frick Com
pany operated " four and five davs
at all their worEl The" " Schooh
maker and Southwest Companies ran
fio days: the McClure Company, five days;
Rainey, six, and the Cambria Company oper
ated nve aud six dajs at their plants, while
James Cochran &bons were content with five
days. The smaller companies all operated rive
audsixdajs. The number of inactive ovens
is estimated at 5.700. The Hecla Companv has
closed over 100 ovens at Its Kos. 1 and 2 plants
per notice sen ed. There havo been no other
suspensions or notices for the same. There are
about 10,400 ovens in blast. The Eagle, Ade
laide, Majer, Wynn and Kjle Works are still
out of blast. The 'tiptop plant Is in the same
condition. E. A. Humphries & Co. hae their
new Chester plant of 23 ovens completed. The
McClure Companj still has only 25 per cent of
its ovens out of blast and are operating five
days per week.
Shipments last week averaged abont 876 cars
per day, against 734 cars or the week before
Tho total increase was C52 cars. Kollowiu" is
the record of consignments: To points west or

A Plentiful Supply of Cheap Build
ing Lots in the Market.
COUHTRT PROPERTY AWAY DOWN.
Active- Trading in Local Stocks, With
Better Prices for Host Things.
A BUS1XESS CHANGE 0DT OF THE USUAL
Home-seekers of moderate means need not
despair. There it an abundance of cheap
lots on the market, and more will be added
in the spring. There is no danger that the
snpply will be exhausted for many years.
In the Eighteenth wardmote are offered at
from ?100 to 5600; in the Herron Hill dis
trict from 600 to 1,000: near Wilkinsburg
and Brnshton from $100 to $300; on the
Southside from 5200 to $S00; on the North
side, along the line of Cali'ornia avenue,
from ?300 to 5M0. There are cheap lots in
other localities, 'nut enough has been said to
show that there is no danger of a famine in this
grade of roal estate.
In New Hand.
A business staud, as well known, perhaps, to
bnsiness men as any other In tht citj- has just
changed proprietorship. J. B. Larkin &. Co,
have sold the leSse and furmshtnent of the old
Spencer Cafe, for many years ono of the most
popular resorts of the kind in the city. It was
originally started by Mr. Spencer, whospared
neither time nor money to make it a symposium
of high art. It subsequently passed into the
hands of Mr. 1'ickcrt, who has just transferred
it to Mr. Ferdlnaud Schmidt, ou privato terms.
He will refurnish and conduct the house on
the best model to meet the wants and tastes of
the business community.
Swapping Heal Estate.
Considerable is going on in tho way of ex
changing country for city property, and vice
versa, of which no reports are made. Conutry
properties, as a rule, are abnormally cheap,
and for this reason are attracting many home
seekers as well as speculators. A broker re
marked yesterday: "I think there is money in
country property at present prices. Rapid
transit and the spread of the city are over
coming tho objection to distance."
An Expert Opinion.
In their "Heal Estate Annual," Chas. Somers
& Co. well and truly say: "Pittsburg's prog
ress is assured beyond a doubt, and every
man within her limits or influence may enjoy a
share of her prosperity. In her irresistible
growth and steady expansion she is destined
soon to absorb the outlying towns and cities
now known as her suburbs, and an almost limit
less field is presented in her surroundings for
investments as substantial inicharacter as are
th- products of her mills, and so certainly
profit-yielding that, wherever within this Held
a selection of property may bn made, the pres
ent cost will appear small compared with the
value a few years hence."
A Growing Itetail Quarter.
Fifth avenue, from the Court House out to
Sobo, is showing significant improvement in
these days. For a while there was a fear that
tho cable cars would bring the trade past the
stores In that quarter and down to the lower
part of the city, but the reverse has taken
place. Many new stores are being built. While
not pretentions, they are in every instance bet
ter than those formerly on the street. Hand
some show windows and a tasteful display of
goods in not a few Instances attract the at
tention of the cable car passengers. As the
upper part of most of the buildings on Fifth
avenue aro occupied as flats, the owners find it
possible to make easy rents tor the stores be
low. At the same time they add by their flats
to the number of local buyers. The hill district,
extending on each side from Bluff street and
Wylie, also find on this part of Fifth avenue a
local market. Property owners, however, could
add largely to the desirability of their holdings
by removinc the unsatisfactory and ill-kept
brick sidewalks and substituting for them
heavy flagstone. It is surprising that this has
not been more generally done. It would invest
the street with a butiness-llke air and quicken
its desirability as a retail quarter.

was in concealment not over 50 miles from the

This is the way a real estate broker put it
yesterday: "Inquiry is active, but sales are
slower than we like. This is due to the fact
that many buyers aro holding out for lower
prices as a result of the money scare, while
owners refuse concessions. This keeps them
apart. Money is easing up aud business is
bound to revive."

HOME SECUBITIE3.
Business Continues Active and Gains
Largely In the Majority.
A good volume of business in local stocks was
transacted yesterday, and covered a larger
number ot interests than for some time, indi
cating that buyers are breaking away from the
stocks that have monopolized attention for the
past few weeks. Total sales were 535 shares.
Philadelphia Gas continued its upward move
ment, selling np to 10f and closing atl0J&
with the demand largely uusupplled. Electric
weakened at the last call and finished at the
lowest point ot tho day. This was due to the
disposition of buyers to await the outcome of
pending financial negotiations. Central Trac
tion, Pleasant Valley and Switch and Signal
were stronger. Airbrake made further progress,
but Luster was fractionally shaded.
Speaking of Luster a broker said: "I think It
is slated for an advance in a short time ou
prospects for a dividend. Work at the mine is
proceeding satisfactorily.- Two gold bricks, of J
total valuo of $2,300. havn "been received in
Pittsburg this week, affording practicable

MONEY MARKET.
Scarcely a Trace of the Recent Stringency
Now Visible.
Reports of financial Institutions yesterday
concurred that tho monetary stringency had
almost entirely disappeared, there being plenty
of funds for almost all purposes. The demand
was fair, and no one with good collateral was
rofnsed the accommodation sought. Routine
business showed an increase. Checking was
about tne same as on the pi cvions dav. Clear

NEW YORE STOCKS.
An Uxtretnely Stagnant Share Market A
Heavy Drop in Chicago Gas the Only
Feature Bonds Also Dull, bnt
Firmer Than Stocks.
New York, Jan. 22. The stock market was
again most extremely dull to-day, and had it
not been for the little flurry in Chicago Gas the
trading would have been utterly featureless.
There was a dearth of orders either to buy or
sell from London, and the whole list shared in
the dullness, not a single railroad stock show
ing a fluctuation of more than percent The
dealings were made at the same dead level
throughout the ontu e session.
Chicago Gas, however, was quite active
though weak, and dropped in the first hour to
12 from 45 last evenlug, and recovered only a
portion ot this drop during the remainder of
the day, closing at but a fraction better than
the lowest price, and scoring a net loss for the
day of 3Ji per cent. The reason given for the
selling was that the statement had been made
by the President of the trust that there would
be no dividends this year, but insiuers denied
selling, and said that it was a bear raid pure
and simple, and that a full recovery would be
made in a few davs. The stock gave no sign of
strength during the day, however.
Sugar Refineries receipts were quite strong
at one time, bnt an early decline and a
reaction from the best figures late in the day
left it at close to last night's price. The
market closed as it bad remained all day, dull
and stagnant, at insignificant changes for the
day.
Almost the samo conditions existed in the
rallroid bond market, dullness and apathy
being the only features or the dealings. The
sales aggregated only $805,000. and no animation
was visible anywhere in the list. Unlike stocks,
however, there was a firm tone, and a few
marked gains over last sales of some days ago
wero scored. Tnere were a fewjosses. and San
Francisco consolidated 6s d eel tried to 108.

very heavy stocks. New York markets have
been wild for the past few days, and prices
there are about the same as here. Choice
creamery butter is firm at quotations, but coun
try butter is very slow 'and prices are only nom
inal. Strictly fresh nearby eggs ,are firm.
Southern and Western eggs are coming in
freely and marke's are quiet. Supply of poul
try is in excess of demand, and markets are
weak at inside figures. Commission merchants
report slow trade allalong the line, with the
situation in favor of the buyer.

MARKETS BY WIEE.
Considerable of the Snap Taken Out of
IV heat No Fresh Export Business
Corn Weak and Oats Lower
Pork Gives Way a Trifle.
CHICAGO There was a fair amount of
activity in wheat at the opening or tbe market
to-day at about a decline sines the previous
afternoon. The first quotation for May was
94c, compared with 950 at the close of yes
terday's session. It fluctuated between 91c
and 95Jc for about an hour, dwelling very
shortly noon the extreme'. Later there was a
dipto947c, and a roaction f roin that to 94J
94jc Toward 12 tbe backbone was completely
taken ont of tbe market by the selling of Pard
ridge and the readiness of tbe crowd to chop
over to the side which appeared the strongest
at the muulont.
There was no great amount of activity in
corn, the business forlhe most part being ap
parently in tbe hands of the scalpers. Some
changing over from May to July at 2e pre
mium in favor of tbe latter mon'h was .. minor
feature of the business. The May future
opened atSlc, declined to 51c, advanced to
52c, and ruled weak thereafter, declining to
51Kc aud closing at tbe lowest polnr.
Ihe trade in oats was light and mostly local.
The market fluctuated within a narrow range
and closed Jc lower for May.
The slumu following tho selling out of tbe
long wheat referred to carried the price of
May to 93)SQ93c or about lKc under tho
highest price made earlier in thu day. There
was an absence of any fresh export business of
any importance, which was looked upon as a
good point with tbe advocates of lower prices.
New York reported sales of a few boatloads to
millers, but only two more loads to shippers.
The market did not recover more than J-Jfic
after the decline above referred to and again
ruled weak, selling oft to94c, and closing at
94c
Heaviness characterized tbe opening of the
provision market. The receipt of 45,000 bogs
was too much for it, and the packers appear to
be losing ground In their efforts to uphold the
market while at tho same time disposing of the
product of such heavy receipts of hogs. There
was good buying on the call, which braced np
tho market considerably. The price rested at
$10 570IO 60, or within a narrow fraction of
yesterday's closing price.
Lard closed 2c lower for May, and ribJ show
no change in price for that month, and closed
with a firm tone.

MINNEAPOLIS While the early strength
remained in tbe futures market, cash wheat
offered in cars was held high and buyers held
off. and but few cars sold at that time. With
easier futures spot grain was offered lower,
and then tbe millers and shippers began buy
ing more freely. That brought many of the
sales after tho middle of tbe session. The
grain sold quite readily after business was once
started, with millers and shippers and elevator
havers in the market, tbe latter being light
buyers. Low grades were rather inactive.
