IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Markets Continue in the Bayer's
Favor AH Along the Line.
SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IS YOLUME,
mt .No Indications of Any Kadical Change
for the Belter.
ntrOIITS FEOM THE LEADING CEXTEKS
Transactions are light and markets con
tinue in the buyer's favor all along the line.
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. The
general non and steel situation gives no signs
of improvement In the week vast.
Following are values as reported by leading,

STIFFENING OF FEICES.
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. J16 0U10 25; ordi
nary forge, cinder niixd, SI3 oUjili 00. and
charcoal carwheel iron, J22IK)0r2G 00. 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.
(nutations for lots delivered in consumer'
yt-d are ordinarily about as follows: Iron
i.n and tank plates, 2.00ff2.10c: bridge plates,
2 V?il5c: steel ship ami tank plates,2.15a2.20c,
a 1 1 bruise plates, iiOS'i.lOc.
structural material j in fair demand, with a
gansral dispoftition to meet that demand with
out acrihcing puces. For lots delivered the
press are: Ancles and sheared plates, 2.10
J.1 .: and from 10 to 20c raori" for steel, accord
in,; to requirements: tees, 2.5&16c; beams and
ch mncls, 3.1c. for either iron or steel. 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.

-SPECIAL TELKURAM TO THE DISPATCH.:
Cincinnati. Jan. 23. Rogers, Rrown &Co.
tay: l'urnace agent and dealers are not dis
posed to complain or tho volume -of business
cunent the past week. 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 diminution
lu consumption that was generally expected is
baldly noticeable tbus far.

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. Society appears ti be gettinir in its work
prcnaratory to the Lenten quiet.

SOLVING A PROBLEM.
Belief for the Old-Timo Business
Center of Pittsburg l)j
SMALL TRADERS CHANGING BASE.
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.

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."

Electric Submits to a Material Concession
Other Interests Scoro Gains.
A heavy business was' transacted )n local
stocks on call yesterday. 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. Luster was a shade weaker.

256,000 ounces in the whole day yesterday. In
the first hour they declined to 103. The sell

speculators, who have begun to think there
will be no financial legislation by this Congress,
at least none to help the price of silver."

Bond and Share Market More Active, but
at the Expense of Lower Quotations
The Holders Weary of Wait
ing for an Advance.
New York, Jan. 23. 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. Among
those which are blglier, Erie first consols

There is a more general air of activity

cess of demand, and markets drag. .There has;
been an unusually large quantity of dressed
geese on the market the past few davs, and
prices are the lowest of the season. Potatoes

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

active to-day. In spite of the early dullness and

the latter market, c ish wheat n ent quite easily.
That was particularly true nf goodmilllngqnal
itlcs tbat were wanted for local use fo shin

later use. A few early sales were on the basis
of Thursday's closinu prices, bat tbe sales were
later abont c higher. Tbe low grades went
out pretty well to different parties when not
