NewYokk, Jan. 29. The Iron Age's
report oi the iron market is as follows:
In American pig the market is irregular, and
there is considerable prcsure to sell from
dilierent quarters. Southern warrant iron is
being offered at prices equivalent to 11 50 for
No. 2 loundry; $11 for No. 3. and standard
Lekigb VallcjNo.2fout:dry warrants are offered
at S.15 25, tidewater. Efforts are being made
to place Hocking Valley brands at low price?,
and New York State irons are seeking a mar

mediate vicinity of Eastern Pennsylvania fur
naces, and wc understand that the Pennsylva
nia Railroad will at in early date announce the
abandonment of its policy of protecting its
Central and Eastern Pronsjlvanla iron makers
bv the arbitrary stand against the Southern
roads, on the cround that the latter threaten Jo
retaliate m Pennsylvania finished product,
which is going boiilh m large, quantities.
Nothing definite has 3 et come nut of the move

completely by the Pitishurg makers. Sales
must have aggregated at least 1,500 tons during
the past lew' weeks, mcluuiug one lot

porters have purchased one lot of 200 tons in

cheap sneculath e lots have been cleared away,

again become the ruling tactor in determining
prices. Wc quote 401 oOgb-

trrriai. tei.eck.am to tu c dispatch, i
NlwYoek, Jan. 2!). The foreign iron and
cttei markets are thus reported by the Iron
Aqt: The pig iron warrant market has been
flat, and prices have varied but little. Late
sales were at 47s. 2L17s. 5J. for Scotch; lis.
42.-. ljfi- for Cle eland, and 52s. 9d.33s. for
hematite. There is a complete absence of
fresh interest in the u&riiet, and purchases arc
small. Holders of variants are very confident
ot higher prices, owing to increasing scarcity,
due to steady depletion of stocks In Corral's
stores and exceedingly light supply ij makers
band's Of Scotch, there is scarcely anything on
hauu, sate that in the public store, and the
Stock thele has decreased 4.2W! tons during the
Meek. Cleveland ironmasters are demandinga
further leduction in wages owing to the poor
condition of trade. Several hematite furnaces
are damping, owinc to unremuncrative prices,
dear fuel and high co-t nf labor.
Efforts are making to form a syndicate to con
trol the Staffordshire sheet-iron tiadc. In the
negotiations, about 100 nulls were represented.
Holders- of old Iron rails have mado a further
slight reduction in prices, with a view to stimu
lating action on the riart of buyers, but offers
of double heads at G2-.lGd. fail to be attractive.
For tin plates there continues to be stiong de
mand, and large orders, resulting from recent
inquiries, have been placed. The business is
still chiefly in Bessemer cokes. Terne plates
have received sonic attention, but charcoals
aie neglected. Merchants express an eager
desire to hair supplies ready lor delivery in
the Stato before July, and it is probable that
the demand will slacken off in Mav. if not be
lorc. Block tin, utter reaching 01 15s., has
steadily receded and dropped to 00 15s. Con
sumption is large, but speculative interest in
the market is spiritless, which fact, coupled
with plentiful supplies from the Straits, is held
accountable tor the decline.
Kuril in the hi-ak a large business was done
in coppei warrants at about 53 3s. for prompts,
and quantities then olleicd were eagerly
bought. Imr.ngihe p.T-t lew days the market
lias been inactive. Sellers arc reserved, and
luijers iclue to piy an advance. The con
sumption, however. i undoubtedly improving,

were catlj in the month.

SOME HOPEFUL SIGNS.
Slight! Symptoms of Improvement in the
Coke Marltct Consumers rrnparlng for
Contingencies Au Excellent Car Supply
Possible Amicable Settlement of the
Wage Difficulty.
Scottdalk. Jan. 29. The coke market pre
sents symptoms of improvement. The antici
pations of a strike on the part of the furnace
men has helped trade very materially. In this
manner the demanri has been strengthened,
with signs for increased shipments. The con
sumers and operators alike are still making
vigoious preparations for any emer
gency such as mentioned above. Both
are said to be making ends meet
with the one aim in view. The demand from
the West, as a natural outcome Of ne idleness
oftbe Mahoning and Shenangn Valley fur
naces, is rallii.g off. Pittsburg demand i creep
ing up steadily, while the Eastern requiiements
arc identically the same as usual. It is still the
opinion, in some quarters, that the wage diffi
culties will be amicably adjusted before the ex
piration of the present contract. The miners
have invited the operators tu a conference next
Tuesday.
There has been no exhibition of complaint
on coke prices since last report. The general
impression is that all consumers hare been
sati-fied with the rates sluce the reduction was
made a few weeks since.
The car supply was in a splendid condition
last week, and all consignments were gotten
rapidly to destination.
The Mammoth mine horror has seriously in
terfered with the operations of works in vari
ous parts of the region. Only a
few nf the plants ill) the Sewickley branch, at
the terminus of which Mammoth is situated,
nro report! d running. The Mammoth plant
will hardly resume for a few wecKS. The fright
ful calamity has affected the whole coke re
gion, and w ork at mtuy places Js seriously hin
dered. An operator said to-day: "As far as I am
personally concerned. I have salo for all the
coke 1 can produce. It is an undeniable fact,
though, that tlicrn is a marked depression in
trade, but it does not materially affect us.
Trade may brighten up bv spring, but, of
course, we are speaking of the dim and misty
future." The speeker was none other than Jas.
Dillinger. of the Pennsylvania Coke Comnany.
There are other operators throughout the re
gion whom the dulness does not seem to effect,
namelv. the Stewart, Kainey. Keid Brothers,
li A. Humphries aud the Fairchance Furnace
Company. There was not quite as much activ
ity m the region last week as the week before.
The diminution of "Western orders was llio
cause of thK though. Works ran irregularly
last week. The Frlck Company made fire and
six days at all of their plants. The Sctiooii
maker Company operated four days, McClure
ran five dajs, Cochran ran flvo and six days,
and Kainey six. The Pcnnsville. Stewart,
Fairchance and othercompames ran six days.
The idle number of ovens is estimated at
6,074. The Mauinoth plant of 509 ovens is
wholly idle. No other suspensions are noted.
The active list of ovens is about 10,006. The
Eagle, Tiptop, Wyne.Kjle and Adelaide plants
of the FricK Company are still numbered
among the extinct. Shipments last week
averaged fc03 cars per day, as against S7C cars of
the prcviou week. '
The total decrease was only 47 cars. Follow,
ing is the record of consignments: .To points
west of Pittsburg, 2,020 cars; to Pitts
burg and river tipples, 1.S75 cars; to
points cast of Pittsburg, 1.2S3 cars; total,
o.l78'cars. This was the record or the pre
ceoing wceK: To points west of Pittsburg. 2,255

THE WAY OPENED FOR REVIVAL.
Several Transactions of Dnnsnal Importance
on tha Northside.
TUB KEWS ASD GOSSIP OP THE CITI
An important ilem of real estate news
leaked out yesterday. Eeed B. Coyle &
Co. sold through the office of J. B. Larkin
& Co., 60x105 feet on West Diamond, Alle
gheny, with building's, for 515,000. The
deed was made to Mr. A. B. Kennedy, of the
firm of J. B. Larkin & Co. Mr. Kennedy
is known to hare made at least one other
purchase in the same block within two
weeks, and there is considerable curiosity
to know who he is buying for. The Gov
ernment agents want a site for the new
postnffice, and it is pretty generally under
stood that this was pait of the property
wanted. Mr. Kennedy admitted, when
seen last evening, that he had made other
purchases in that block, and would likely
make more at reasonable figures, but was
not in a hurry, and would not disclose his
business. While there is a difference of
opinion as to whether the site is for anew
theater, a hotel or the proposed Allegheny
City postofflce, all agree that a move of consid
erable importance is on, and that the property
is cheap.
w
The Clouds Scattering.
Financiers and business men, almost
without exception, unite in saying that the
malign influences which have oppressed the
country for two or three months, are disappear
ing, that confidence is being re-established, and
that symptoms of a forward impulse to the
activities of the country are visible on every
hand. The scarcity of available funds during
the last quarter of ISM and the first part of the
present month, interposed a serious check to
the revival of business. But this obstacle no
longer exists. Money is extremely easy every
where. There is no sufficient reason why en
terprise should not assumo the aggressive.
Locally, while improvement in business since
the opening of the year has been slow, progress
has been steady and permanent. The linanctal
involvement of one of the great interests of the
city, together with a large crop of sensational
reports and rumors, bad a tendency to augment
the conservatism of the people and restrict ex
pansion: but since the affairs of the interest in
question are in course of satisfactory adjust
ment, and the idle tales which filled the air
have been forgotten, a change has come over
the community. Business is again the talk.
Courage has taken the place of .hesitation. This
is more than half the battle. Under these en
couraging circumstances and conditions the
first month of lt91 is drawing to a close. It has
been a month of disaster to some and anxiety
to many who read the signs wrong. They ex
pected too much, and being disappointed,
failed tu seu the silver lining to the cloud
around them.
The accomplishments of the last 30 days will
have an Important bearing upon the rest of the
year. Onsucles to the prosecution of business
have been overcome, mistakes rectified and the
way prepared tor a lorward movement all along
the line. With plenty of material to work on,
confidence practically restored and money to
be had almost fortbo asking, itiiere is every
reason to believe that Pittsburg is on the eve
ot a revival that will equal, if not surpass, the
best times of last ear,
The Only Solid Wealth.
A wise old business man recently wrote as
follows to a lad who asked bim fur advice: "A
boy should be taught early in life that real es
tate is the most substantial basis of solid
wealth. He should be impressed with the fact
that the men who own land and buildings are
the ones who can be trusted for the largest
amounts and the longest time. Some one in
whom he has confidence should tell him that-nine-tenths
of the men who own stores fail to
make very much money; th. ninciy.nine hun
dredths nf the men w ho bet o. horse race, who
buy baseball combinations and invest is lot
tery ticketsare always 'hard up': that very few
of the men who speculate in grain, oil and
stocks retire with fortbnes. and that the money
paid for fine clothing, "jowelry. travel and
amusements yields 110 income, and never comes
back to the purse. And as soon as a boy gets
old enough to earn a few dollars each month
by work about the house, oliiee or store, he
should be encouraged and aided to make the

HOKE SZCtTBrrrES.
Exchange Memberships Held Higher and a
. Little Boom in Luster.
Buying orders for locapstocks were less nu
merous yesterday than tor some time, to judge
merely from the falling off In sales, which ag
gregated 393 shares, against 695 the previous
day. But this Is not a fair gauge or the extent
of the demand, as t always happens that many
orders cannot be Oiled, for the reasonthat they
are above or below the market. This was true
yesterday, as shown by the urgeney for Pleas
ant Valley a'niTLuster. whie.h met no response.
The only features out of the usual which Im
parted momentary zest to the proceedings were
a boomlet in Luster and a bid of $100 for a mem
bership without securing it. Luster lost part
of the advance, but closed nearly a point better
than the opening. Consignee was stronger in
the bidding. Electric, was a trifle weaker and
Philadelphia Gas a shade firmer. Pleasant
Valley clo-ed at an advauce, but Central Trac
tion submitted to a slight concession. Man
ufacturers' Gas was offered at 23. with 20 bid.

KEW YORK STOCKS.
Outsido of the Few Leaders the Share Mar
ket Is Dull The Leaders Are Slightly
Higher Owing to Manipulation
Only Bonds Less Active.
New York, Jan. 29. The stock market to
day was very dull outside of the few leaders,
and while its course was turned upon the
shorts' the upward movements were principally
the result of manipulation, and the improve
ment over yesterday's prices was not of a sus
tained character. The early advances amounted
to as much as per cent, but 'the decline
which followed wined out all this improvement
except the specially strong stocks, which
were the subjects of manipulation. The
Grangers during the entire day were sluggish
to weak, but, with the exception o Burlington,
never cave way to any extent.
Dullness and stagnation ruled the market
from the first hour until the last when all the
activity displayed during the dav was shown.
The Villards were advanced sharply, especially
Northern Pacific preferred, and Mi-souri
pacific and Sugar receipts were close follower.
The first named scored an extreme gain of
per cent, most of 'vhlcn was retained at the
close. The movement, however, was not sus
tained until the close, which was dull and
steady generally at insignificant changes from
the opening figures.
The dividend on the Nickel Plate first pre
ferred stimulated trading. The stock ot the
company and the first prelerrcd sold at 70,'
against C3' last evening, the others, while
strong, showing only -small fluctuation. The
market was devoid of other feature, except
that there. was no sale of Reading, which has
not occurred in months. The final changes are
cenerallv tlitht gains, and Northern Pacific
preferred is 1 and Missouri Pacific Vt.
Railroad bonds wercalso less aotivo man yes
terday, but still maintained a linn f ront,though
the changes were smaller than usual, and the
important ones unusually few. The sales
reached J1.S73.000. iron Mountain seconds
rose 2 to 107. and Chicago and Indiana Coal 5s
declined at 97.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Produce commission men report trade very
slow. The mild weather of the past few days
has not been favorable to trade. Krrgsare in
bountiful supply and markets are weak. The
same Is true of 'poultry. Supply of poultry has
been in excess of demand for the past week,
and prices are tending toward a lower level.
Potatoes and cabbage are quiet, and the cash
btlyerAvill find the holder ready to meet him
more than half way. Creamery butter is tend
ing lower on account of mild weather. Tropical
fruits are unchanged. Bananas are in better
supply than for some weeks past. Since oranges
are little higher than apples, as has bcon the
case for some time past, the former are In bet
ter demanu, and prices rule steady.

MARKETS BY AVlEE.
Dullness Tltreatened by the State of Tele
graphic Communication, i'et the Op
posite Was the Case Exciteii
Buying in All Markets.
CHICAGO A lack of telegraphic com
munication east of Bnffalo at the opening
threatened to make business on 'Change dull
to-day, but dullness was the very opposite of
the characteristics after the first hour's trading
was over. Early weakness and a drop of c
in the price nf May wheat was succeeded by a
somewhat excited advance of 2c from the
lowest point, aud it stood Uc higher at the
close of to-day's session than at the correspond
ing time yesterday. The opening was 3Ko
lower than yesterday's close. This was at
tributed to the breaking of the drought in
California by a good rainfall. Thero were also
reports of cable inquiries for flour, and a cold
wave, with its possibilities of damage to winter
wheat, was said to be approaching:
Telegraphic communication was worse up to
about 1:20 o'clock, but when it was resumed, it
brought a good many .buying orders from New
York, and a strong feeling was reported as ex
isting in that market. The demand for cash
wheat, reported as exciting at all the markets
in the countrr, with sales of round lots to mill
ers from eievators' stock, was the causo of a
revolution of feeling among the local specula
tors, and the early break was quickly bridged
after the first half hour of tradiu?.
The opening price for May was 96K06Iic
There was an advance to 90c followed by a
reaction to 9(e, and for about half an hour
the nrice remained in the neighborhood of
'96e. When business became more active.
However, and outside orders began to coma m
more freely, there was a rapid advance to 97c
There was another reaction to 96c, aud lor
about half an hour tho price remained in that
neighborhood. The last dip referred 10 was
followed by a sensational bulge, which was not
controlled until after 98Jc bad been paid. Free
realization of bulls' proms caused a depression
to 97c, with a slight reaction to 9$Kc
There was a dull feeling and a small business
in the corn pit during the first part of the ses
sion, but when wheat became very active corn
followed. There was an advancing.tendency
from the start, which, in the end. was checked
when about to c had been added to the
starting price.
Considerable imororement was noticeable in
the demand for oats. The crowd was bullish
and bought freely.
The provision .market was, in the main, firm,
and a lair advance was secured at tho close.
Hogs were 8 to 10 cents higher, according to
reports from the yards. Packers sold a good
deal on the call, but without causing much
depression.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

ST. LOUIS There was more excltemest on
the floor of the Merchants' Exchange this
morning than for a long time past, and the
shorts rushed to cover with startling rapidity.
For a long time the tone has been decidedly
bearish. The piospocts for the July cropwefu
excellent, and it was believed that May wheat
was certain to decline. Last week the price
dropped to 93c and a further decline was pre
dicted. The market has been greatly oversold
m anticipation of the decline, and a fewshrewd
traders had taken advantage of it. Receipts
have been light and stock has been run

rapidly. May wheat jumping by large

MINNEAPOLIS By the time the sates nf spot
wheat bad fairly begun to-day there was an
Improved demand for futures, with which spot
prices sympathized. The Inquiry is growing
for wheat to ship to country mills, shown by
the free shipments and the buying on the floor
here. Farmers are said to be holding on to
their wheat foe a rise in Indiana. Ohio ana Illi
nois, so that many millers find it close work to
supply their local flour trade with enough to
satisfy their demand. The average sales of
wheat bere were high, as .shown in the car lots
sales, with local - millers the leading' buyers.

THE SKIN-
Is an-important factor in keeping
good health; if it does not act in the
way intended by nature, its functions
are performed by other organs,
the Kidneys and the Lungs; and the .
result is a breakdown of general health.
Swift's Specific
is the remedy of nature to stimulate
the skin to proper action. It never
fails in this, and always accomplishes
the purpose.
Send for our treatise on the Blood
and Skin Diseases.
