Haw irons continue dull and slow, notwithstanding the fact that most of the furnaces in the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys have shut down. Volume of trade shows a slight improvement over last week, but there has been no improvement in prices. The nail trade has reached its quiet est time, and there arc rumors of sales inside of our quotations. At outside quotations ruarcins of profit must be so close that divi dends to the manufacturer are out of the ques tion. Steel rails are quiet, hut prices ot last week still stand. JIurK bar is weak anil a shade loner, as our quotations will disclose. Blooms and billets arc hrm at last week's pricc. Structural iron is slow, as is natural at tins season, when building operations aro gen erally su-pended, owing to wintry weather. Prices, however, stand as a week ago.

No Very Heavy Demand Visible In the Philadelphia Market. terr.ciAt. teleguam to the dispatciui Pmx.AD'-l.pniA. Jan. si The past week has been productive of no important change in the iron industry. The general trend of the mar ket is toward a stiffening of prices, and tbe makers of some of the standard iron are begin ning to talk of an advance. The absorption of the low-priced lots Indicates that large con sumers have covered their requirements for tbe present, so that the demand in the immediate future will probably depend on general busi ness developments. In pig iron the curtailment of production has had tho effect of stiffening rnce, but there is still plenty of rood Ir0n at qunted rate. For lots delivered in consumers' vards the prices ar: Standard Pennsylvania, No. 14. $17 5018 6!:2Nn.24. Sit 5317 00: medium. No. li $17 0017 50; No. 21.

Muck bars liave a firm undeitone, but buyers seem very -unwilling to meet sellers' prices, which are usually about i27 oO delivered. Steel rails are Verv dull. The usual quotation is now $30 00 at the'niills. Steel billets are Arm in price, but there is very little business being done. For de liveries extendinc for auv length of lime the prices, are 52S 25ga 75 delivered. liar iron has shown as yet nq improvement in prices. There seems to be not enouzb business to go around and tbe immediate outlook is not very encouraging. "Prices are 1.75c for 100-ton luis if best refined. Smaller lots are quoted at l.SOijl.Soc Skelo iron is not much inquired lor. There is some business doing at l.t2 I.STKc for grooved skelp delivered. Plates are cnjoj-iuga fair amount of miscellaneous busi ness" but orders lor large amounts arercarce.

Old rails are absolutely without movement and prices :., entirely nominal at ?22 5023 00. Scrap iron Is tlrmer, with the demand improving. The quotations are as follows: No. 1 railroad scrap, $22 50S23 00 at Philadelphia, or for deliveries at mills in the interior, $22 50323 50, according to distance and qualitj: No. 2 light scrap ami best machinery scrap, SlaglG and $11 0011 50 for ordinary. ONLY A FAIE MARKET. Prices Hanging Exceedingly Low at Chi cago, With Some Sales. ISrECIAL TELrCIAM TO THE UISP.1.TCH.1 Ciiicaco. Jan. 2i Rogers. Brown and Mer wln say; The Chicago maiket still continues to show a fair amount ofjactivity. variousjsales of good size having been made to large con sumers. These transactions have been mainly in the way of local coke and Alabama irons; the purchases being for foundry purposes. Prices have ranged exceedingly low, wbich has led some buyers to form the conclusion that .there is no bottom to the market. Tbe expla nation is that man of the furnace companies, "North and South, are still pressed for money, mid consequently are willing to sacrifice values in order to effect sales. The general outlook for consumption of pig metal continues good, "rices must materially advance, however, on ai. -ades of coke and charcoal, Northern and Sol 'hern brands, be- mre iurnaces competing in i is market will re ceive a fair equivalent for tL.ir product. Lake Superior charcoal still continues to be iu small demand. The leading brands are all being held at $1S 50 at Chicago, but several of the smaller furnaces are offering to cut this figure 25 or even 50 ceuts per ton. HO NEW FEAiUEIS.

The aggregate of or ders is quite double that of tbe corresponding period a vear ago, when furnaces were refusing to recognize the decline which had set In. Trices throughout the eutire list range from $3 to SI per ton less than In January, 1S90. 1 here has been a little stiffening in value. The vert cheapest lots that were being forced about tne fri of tlie month have been absorbed and current make is greatlv reduced. There are sotue heavy stocks reported here and there, but they arc in strong hands, and not offered at cunent prices. Southern coke furnaces have no iron unsold.

THE MARKET BASSET. Quietness at the Diamond Stalls Activity In Floral Lines, At the Diamond market stalls dealers report a very quiet week's trade with prices substan tially as last Saturday. Eggs and poultry are a shade lower than last week, but not enough so to make any great itnpresion on the retail market. At the commission houses, supply of poultry has exceeded demand for tbe past few days, and th y consequence has been that prices are Wbak. Tbe opportunity for cheap turkey and chicken is better than at any time this winter .Dressed geese are almost as cheap as boiling meat. Vegetables and fruit stand as they have been for some weeks past, Tbe fear of a potato famine is over. Our markets arc well supplied in this line, and job bing prices have weakened of late. At the fish stalls trade Is reported quiet, as is expected on the eve ot Lent. South Carolina shaa are beginning to arrive and demand Is good at 75c to $1 50 each. The stock ot frozen fish is light and will prob ably run out before the season is out. White lish and salmon arc most in demand. . The sup ply of ossters is only fair, but demand is lighL florists report activity in their line. Not withstanding special religious services in most of the churches since the first of tbe year, wed dings anu parties nave oeen as numerous as usual and demand for flowers has improved of laic.

Good Openings for Retailers in the Thickly Settled Outskirts. ClUNGES WEUTJGHT BI KAP1D TRANSIT It is apparent that the business problem, so far, at Vjast, as the retail part of it is con cerned, is approaching a solution. ' Street improvements and rapid transit are scatter ing it to the four winds, literally as well as figuratively. Reference has been made to the fact that many stores are being built on Fifth avenue between the Court House and Solio. Penn avenue, Forbes and Wylie show numerous improvements of the same kind. Trade follows the course of population. Each of the thoroughfares named is suf ficiently built up to constitute numerous business centers on a small scale, but large enough to sustain one or two stores. Tbe pioneers in this movement bad serious mis givings of disaster at first, but they stuck to it ana have built up a remunerative trade. These stores are so great a convenience to the people that they could scarcely get along without them. They save much time, trouble and expense. Deriving their sup plies from down-town wholesalers, these stores are worth as much as "feeders" ' to the city as if they were located in the heart of tho so-called business center. This tendency of the retail trade ,to keep pace with the movement of population to the outer districts is not limited to any particular section. It is as apparent in the hill district of the Snnthside, in the West K'ld and down the Ohio Valley as in the East End. though less pronounced for the reason that settlement is slower, owing to imperfect transportation facilities. These, however, are being remedied, and will soon be rapid enough to attract home seekers. Business will follow. This dispersion of trade is a natural result and practical demonstration of tbe growth of the city. Pittsburg proper is being given up to business more and more every year. Ground is too valuable and rents too high forresidence purposes. This forces people to the suburbs, w here a majority of them buy or build homes. It is this that gives so much Importance to rapid transit. Tbe full development of all the systems that are projected will result in thickly populating all of the territory between Brad dock and Senickleyandon both sides of tbe rivers. There is no escape from this conclusion. Manufacturing and wholesaling must be ac commodated anil encouraged. Small trades will soon find it profitable to change tbe theaters of their operations to tbe outskirts. Tbe success of those who have already made this move demonstrates ls practicability. Of its necessity there can be no doubt; Business News and Gossip. A. Z. Byers A Co. report the uemand for houses in the Sixth ward, Allegheny, double the supply. Julius F. Stark sold after call Thursday 50 shares of Philadelphia Gas stock at 10. As soon as possible in the spring tbe brick pavement in front of tbe Connor property, out Fifth avenue, about completed, will be taken up and flagstone substituted. This, as sug gested by The Dispatch, will be a move in the right direction, and directly in the interest ofproperty owners on that tboronghfare. The Cannonsburg Bank is to bo reorganized and operated under tbe national banking law. Sir. George Gotthart has broken ground for a four-story business house, and dwelling on Fifth avenue, at the foot of Vanbramm street.

M0BE DOING. Oil Finds Some Buyers, but the Top Price Not Sustained. Thero was considerable trading in oil yester day, about 15,000 barrels changing hands at 76Ji and 76. There were moro sellers than usual, and this caused the market to weaken off toward the close, which was at 75 bid and 76 asked. A broker remarked: "You have noticed that oil Is slonly but steadily crawling up. Traders and nroducers continue to put their trust in prospects of still higher prices, and hold on to the stuff unless compelled to sell. It looks to me as if Mr. Craig's prediction of SO cent oil in the near f nture is not far out ot the way." Refilled advanced at .New York and declined at Antnern.

There was quite a run on Electric Out of total sales of 2.05S shares, 1,867 were of this stock. It weakened under this pressure. Tbe first sale was at S, and it worked up and down by fractions until It touched 714. This was tho lowest figure of tho day. There was a slight recovery toward the end of tub last call, and it finished at T bid. There was nothing new in regard to the con dition of the company to cause tho break. In deed, street talk was rather favorable. But. as stated by a broker, imrestors are not quite ready to accept everv statement as gospel truth. Besides, it takes so'ino time to recover from a scare, and Electric has not "yet reached that point. The rest of tbe list was steady to strong. Philadelphia Gas moved up another peg. fol lowed by Airbrake and Switch and Signal. Central Traction closed nearly a point lietter than the opening, and tbe rest ot this group was steady.

Clearings were $2,1S1,125 27 and balances, $211, 915 81 The New York Post says: "The only feature in the market this morning was the active sell ing of silver bullion certificates, of which the sales up to 11:30 were' 370,000 ounces, against 256,000 ounces in the whole day yesterday. In the first hour they declined to 103. The sell ing was evidently liquidating on tbe part of speculators, who have begun to think there will be no financial legislation by this Congress, at least none to help the price of silver."

The stock market was a little more active to-day in the general list, though dull enough,the increased animation be ing accompanied by lower prices, however, throughout almost the entire list. This was evidently a result of the 'disappointment of holders who have been waiting for a rise in prices. Tbe hopes of a revival ot interest In tbe market in tne near futuro seem to be dying away in some directions, and the feeling is be coming prevalent that only a decline in prices -will bring in fresh buyers. Tbe increased ani mation was. therefore, due entirely to the in creased efforts to bring abont this result. Thero was less attention paid to Chicago Gas, although it was still one of tbe leadiug active stocks and one of tbe special features of tho market. London was, if anything, a seller m the early trade, and the traders were inclined to take advantage of this tendency, tbe apathy ,of operators giving tbe making of prices .en tirely over Into their bauds for the time being. They first, after a heavy opening, attacked.the Grangers, or rather the stocks of the roads which are parties to the new agreement, the news of the day being rather of a discouraging character as to tbe success of tbe association. St. Paul. Atchison, Burlington, Rock Island. Union Pacific and some others suffered in turn during the forenoon hours, but more atten'tion was paid to Chicago Gas and Louisville and Nashville in tho afternoon, the rest of the list being quite neglected. Tho drooping tendency in those stocks be came more pronounced in the- last hour, and both scored material losses. Richmond and West Point was throughout tbe most active stock and the strong point in tbe list, tbe buy ing being stimulated by the rumor that the Gould Interest had lately strengthened its po sition in tho company. The Industrial stocks, outside of Chicago G.13, were dull and unin teresting, with small fluctuations, although tho new SuiMrReuuingitock declined 1J and re covered 1 per cent. Tbe market finally closed dull and heavy at tho lowest prices of the day, the entire list beirnr fiactionally lower, while Chicago Gas lost, 2$; Burlington. 1; Missouri Pacific, 1J; a. Paul, 1, and Louisville and Nashville closed i per cent lower, ex-dividend ot 2K uer cent. Railroad bonds were also a littlo more ani mated, but, like stocks, tbe activity was ac complished at the expense of quotations, and most changes are in tbe direction of lower figures this evening. Tbe sales reached $1,049, 000, out ot which Northern Pacific 5s con tributed $133,000; Illinois Central firsts lost 2 atl02, Iowa Central firsts 2 at 81.

PUSHING WOEK ALONG. Operations at the New Government Build ing Vigorously Prosecuted. There is a more general air of activity about the new Government building these times than was custornary some months ago. Tbe brown work of the plasterers is near ly completed, and the white work will be in hands in a week's time. Superintendent Patterson said yesterday that with the exception of the electric light ing and elevator contracts the work in the different departments was all let. The joiners would come in when the plasterers were done, and even now most of the wood work was ready in Cleveland. When it ar rived it would only have to be put in place. Operations are now being pursued by the as sistance of the electric light with movable coils, and 20 stoves supply heat to dry out the building. Mr. Patterson is satisfied that the Post office Department can move in about July. There will be facilities for handling the mails, second to none in any city, in, the country.

MAEKETS BY WIEE. Wheat Weak at the Opening.but Braces Up Later On The Weather Bather Bull ishCorn and Oats Feature lessProvisions Lower. CHICAGO Tbe wheat market bad a very weak opening to-day at about c decline since the close ot the session yesterday. The first trading in May was at 93c, with some sales at 93c There was an almost instantaneous re action to 93c, and after surginc backward and forward a few minutes between 934c and 93c. it made a slight advance, reaching 93Q93JJc Tbe fluctuations of tbe next two hours were confined between 93c as the highest price and 93c as tbe lowest, with the news, the attitude of the local speculators and tbe course ot the market favoring the upper range of the fluctuations. The public and some of the privatejcables reported a weaker market abroad, but others of the foreign dis patches interpreted the English marketas firm. Tbe weather prevailing bere in the winter wheat section is not considered reassuring for tue next harvest, and Is very similar to tbe weather which produced the poor crop of last season. It has been very dry all winter, and apart from tbe damage the wheat plant is liable to from frost it will require a wet, mild spring to give it any chance ot'producing an average crop. The stock in store bere and in the North west dispels all fear of immediate starvation, and encourages the crowd in tbe meantime to sell with a light heart upon every slight rail v. The advance in prices culminated at 9494c for May. Tbe corn deal was not enlivened by any re markable operation. Tho opening quotation ior May wasat515Ie, 51c being tbe lowest point touched during the session. It advanced to olJaC Fardridge covered bis shorts in corn as be was doing in wheat, and some others of the short were pursuing a similar course. Tbe local crowd showed very little interest in the oats market. There was no outside de mand. The trado was very light and the mar ket quiet at'a narrow range of prices. Tbe opening of tho speculative market In hog products was fairly steady, and It was not until after tbe call that tho break in prices oc curred, which made tbe feature of the day's operations. Germany, It was reported, would nut remove tbe embargo upon tbe American bog products, which was tbe first rumor to af fect the market. Later the packers appeared to sell with one accord. Lard and ribs shared in the weakness of pork, making with tbe latter article their best prices at tbe openine and tbe lowest within half an hour of the close,- The leading tntures ranged as follows, as cor rected by John M.

That was particularly true nf goodmilllngqnal itlcs tbat were wanted for local use fo shin ning and for running Into local elevator for later use.
