IRON TKADE REVIEW.
More Inquiry and Activity in the
Local Market Tnan a Week Ago.
MANUFACTURERS HEED STOCK.
A Harked Improvement Also Noted in the
Southern Situation.
EEPORTS FEOM THE LEAD1KG CEKTEES
There is more inquiry for mill irons than
there was a week ago and more activity
Manufacturers of finished products are evi
dently carrying light stocks of raw iron, and
are setting ready to lay in a stock when con
vinced that prices are down to bed rock.
While the situation still remains in favor of
the buyer in the lines of raw iron, there is a
more hopeful feeling than there was a week
ago. It is recognized on all bands that prices
can scarcely go lower. Soroeoutside iron have
Wen sold this week under Jll, but no standard
brands.
Grey forge is still held at $14 25. but sales are
reported at 14 per ton. Bessemer iron is re
ported a shade stronger. A leading broker
reports that S15 65 has been refused for a large
quantity of Bessemer within a lew days, and
alo reports the sale of 3,000 tons at 16. b oundry
and charcoal irons are scarcely as strong as
thev were a week ago, but quotations then still
held good. Muck bar is in better demand, and
though prices remain as last quoted, the signs
point tn an upward movement. Structural iron
is as quiet as is to be expected at this time of the
year, and particularly in the present depressed
condition of the trade. Hails and nails are
quotalily unchanged, but markets are weak. It
Is doubtful if in the histery of the trade, nails
have sold as low as since the beginning of the
vcar. bales are reported at the factories at
$1 73. a price which certainly wipes all profits.

"ot a Very Encouraging Outlook at Phila
delphia Jast at Present.
ntrCTAt TiLEOKaaTO the dispatch.!
Philadelphia. Jan. 5a Taking the mar
ket as a whole, the events of the past week
have not been encouraging to the iron trade.
There has not been the improvement that was
hoped for, and if the position of the trade is no
worsethanlastweck.it is as much as can be
claimed. Pig iron is beginning to show some
irregularity in prices, and the general feeling is
cot very hopeful. From Swank's statistics it
is shown that stocks arc 400,000 tons larger
than one year ago. This, coupled with the fact
that consumption is decreasing, while there is
no evidence that the production is decreasing
in proportion, has rendered prices weak and
unsettled. Asking prices tor lots delivered in
consumers sards are as follows: Standard
Fennnlvania, No. 1 X.J17 oOglS IXh No.2X,
SIB 5017 00; medium Pennsylvania. No. 1 X.
17 0wjl7oU,and No. 2 X $16 00016 25: ordi
nary 1 urge cinder inixod, 13 o0ll 00: charcoal
car wheel iron, $2226. Muck bars are very
dull. A few sirall -ales have beeD made at
from 27 to 27 25 delivered, lint buvers of
large lots do not bid more than 28 S026 7,5.
Bar iron is very dull, with an absolute
scarcity of business. The quotations in a gen
cralwayare I.SOSLssjc bkelp iron is in very
little demand, and sellers arc willing to shade
Jinces on large ordes. Nominal prices are
.73Sl.S0c dehvercu for grooved skelp, and 1.85
Ql.SOc for sheared.
Structural material is in mnch the same posi
tion as last week. The competition is becoming
sharp and the prices Irregular. The usual
askiug prices for lotsdeliveiedin consumers
varrf are: Angles 2.052.15c: sheared plates,
2.1022.20c, and from 10c to 20c more for steel,
according to requirements. Tec, 2.52.6c:
beams and cbaunels. 3.1c for either iron or
steel. Plates are somewhat depressed on a
smaller business than was anticipated.
Competition is close and prices are inclined
to dron. General quotations for lots
delivered in consumers yards, are about as fol
lo: s-hip and tank plates of iron, 2.ft 2.10c
and steel. 2.102.20c Iron bridge plate, 2.05

rsrrciAt. telegram to the dirpatcii.1
Biumij.giia'w, Ala.. Jan. 30. Five of the 15
furnaces that went out of blast on account of
the coal miners' strike are in blast again, and
five or six more will follow next week. All the
idle furnaces would have been started up by
this time except for repairs that have not yet
been completed. The strike is all ever now,
and there is plenty of cote on hand. The de
mand for iron is improving every day, and
trade has been fairly active during the week.
There has been a stiffening of prices, and in
small lots the manufacturers are getting 50
ents per ton more thau they did a month ago.
". 1 foundry is now quoted as Bnn at 12 0 in
small lots or for future deliver. It cannot be
lmgiu in large quantities and for cash at less
than 12 00 f. o. b. at the furnace.
The stock of iron on baud in this district is
now ervlow. Most of the furnaces have sold
all the iron they hav e on hand and orders aro
coming in fast enough to take their regular
output. Souie of the large concerns have a few
thousand tons on hand but none of ihein arc
overstocked; in fact they have les iron than at
any time within a ear. The outlook, both for
better prices and a good demand, is decidedly
belter than it was at the first of the year, and

Meachaui say: Inauiry has been more active
during the past week for small and medium
lot', mostlv Ssouthem coke irons. Many con
sumers have apparently decided that they are
not likely to see lower prices and are covering
their requirements for the next few months.
T here is quite a scarcit of No. 1 foundry and
No. 2 soft Southern iron for prompt deliverj,
owing to the Sorthcrn miners' strike. We

JfO PERCEPTIBLE CHANGE.
Trices Mill Continue to Rule In the Chicago
Market.
trrrlAt. TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATn.
Chicago, Jan. 30. Rogers, Brown fc Mer
winsaj: "Prices in this market continue to
rale low on metal of all classes, this remark
appljing particularly to Northern coke and
Lake Superior charcoal brands. In both of
these lines considerable metal is being offered.
On Southern coke irons there is a smaller
quantity seeking sale. The market, however,
in this department remains practically un
changed. There are a number of disturbing
elements at work, which are keeping tbe mar
ket depressed. Among these may be named
the curtailment in consumption, brought abont
by the late financial stringency, the temporary
falling off of work connects with railroad in
terests, the rcnorts showing considerable in
crease during December on stocks of pig metal
at the respective furnaces, both East and West,
and also the uncertainty felt in business circles
as to pending silver legislation.
'Both producersand consumers have been ex
pecting that an improvement would appear
early in the year, but present indications now
point to a continuance of existing conditions
for some little time to come."

THE MARKET BASKET.
New Potatoes From Bermuda in the Stalls
Effect of Approach of Lent.
The first new potatoes of the season were in
the stalls at Diamond market the past few
days. Their native soil is Bermuda. Bermuda
onions are also to the front.
Sealers in garden products report a slight
improvement in trade this week. Prices are in
the main the same as a week ago. At the fish
stalls the near approach of Lent is felt as a
quieting influence on trade. Supply of fish is
light, bat demand corresponds. Dealers report
that prices are relatively much higher at
sources of supply than here, and that profits
are so small as to make ft not worth while to
push trade,
Poultry, eggs and butter are a shade lower
thau last Saturdav, in a jobbing way, bnt not
enough lower to make aav Impression on retail
markets. Country butler oi fair quality is
jobbed at 18c per ft, but fancy rolls keep up to
tne otu ntgn rates, xiio quauiy oi ceiery oa
the stalls was never liner at this seasqn of the
year than at the present time. Florists report
an exti a week's trade. Cor the same reason
that lake and ocean products are quiet and
Slow flowers are active. Society is now getting
in its best work, and demand in tbe floral line
is a demonstration or the fact.
While prices are unchanged florists have all
tlrfv can do to meet the demands for their
goods.

and Persians, that they never charige, what
ever the ups and dow ns of live stock may be.

A new two-story and mansard brick dwell
ing, on Webster street near North avenue,
Allegheny, changed ownership yesterday,
the consideration being 50,800. Tbe pur

side. An important deal on Liberty street, in
volving 550,000, was closed November 22
last, and bas not yet reached the public, but
the seal of secrecy will be removed in a few
days. A fine business house will be the out
come. They Earn Their Money.
It sometimes happens that owners of real es
tate here and hereabouts complain tbat agents
demand too much for securing buyers or
tenants. Some time back an agent secured an
occupant for a business property at an annual
lental of nearly 1.000, and taxed the owner 16
or thereabouts for his services, which be char
acterized as exorbitant and at first refused to
pay. He thought 5 was sufficient. In Chicago
the commission wonld have been 50. A Phil
adelphia agent would have rendered a bill for
SCO. It is a well-known fact tbat .Pittsburg
brokers do more work tor less money than
those of any other city in the country. They
earn their money fairly, and should be paid
prnmntly and cheerfully for their services.
Oo owners evor reflect that without agents
there would be no market worth speaking of?
Thev are as much a fixture in the bnslness life
of Pittsburg as bankers, or merchants, or man
ufacturers, and are as essential to tbe prosper
ity and material progress of the city as any or
all of these. They are doing a good work in as
sisting hundreds to acquire homes and in stim
ulating improvements uf all kinds. Meriting
recognition and encouragement, they should
receive both in unstinted measure.
Stores in Demand.
As frequently stated of late, there is quite a
famine in business properties. A real estate
broker remarked yesterday: "There is a more
urgent inquiry for stores than the public is
aware of. They are decidedly scarce. I could
rent a dozen of them at once it 1 had them. I
have a few empty ones ou my list, but they are
small, badly located, and in every way ill
adaDted to business. Quite a number of out
siders have written to me for stands, bnt I am
afraid 1 will be unable to fill the orders. Our
capitalists could not Invest their money to bet
ter advantage for themselves or the city than in
building stores and warebonses. We must have
them somehow, and the sooner the better."
Business News and Gossip.
Building associations are doing a good work
in Pittsburg in helping people to acquire homes.
It is now quite generally conceded tbat all
the big deals in tbe Squirrel Hill district, re
ported from tune to time, and aggregating over
500,000, were in the interest of the Homestead
Railroad, work on which will begin in the
spring.
It is estimated tbat fully three-fourths of the
money raised on mortgages is put into improve
ments of some kind to the direct benefit of the
city. Very little of it is used for kite-flying.
News of the trag.c death of Secretary Win

HOME- SECTJEITIE3,
Electric Monopolizes Attention and Inter
estHeavy Sales ami Better Prices.
Yesterday's proceedings at the Stock Ex
change were the liveliest of the month. There
was a large attendance of brokers, and nearly
all of tbetu appeared to have orders for some
thing. Sales were 2,227 shares, of which all but
13 were Electric It opened at 7J and sold up
to 8 at tbe first call. At tbe second call It ad
vanced to &H, Tbe first sale of it at tbe third
call was at 8, but buyers were so persistent tbat
holders seized the opportunity to run tbe price
up gradually until it reached 9, which was the
top figure of the day. The close was 8 bid.
Of course there was something favorable be
hind tbe advance. It was generally under
stood, and so stated by several brokers, that
40.000 shares of preferred had been practically
taken, and that any remaining would be placed
to-day. This assurance that tbe financial dif
ficulty of the company was in a fair way to be
surmounted, or had been overcome, naturally
enough raised tbe stock in public estimation,
brought buyers into the market, and a substan
tial advance was the result. From all that
could be learned yesterday evening, as well as
from the dominant sentiment or the street, it
is not, it is believed, venturing too much to say
that the improvement is permanent. Still, the
unexpected may happen.
There were no important changes in the rest
of tbe list, Philadelphia Gas closed a good
traction better than the opening. The trac
tions were steady to strong. Bank and insur
ance shares received little attention. Euster
fell back a trifle, with little offered. A bid of
$400 failed to secure a membership. Bids, offers
and sales follow:

The Shorts Make a Spurt and Bnn the
Price Up.
Oil tradicgreacbed fair proportions yesterday,
sales being tbe largest of any day this month.
About 50,000 barrels changed bands. The mar
ket opened rather weak at "2. which was also
the lowest point, and advanced during the
after-part of the session to 74 closing at 75
bid.
The advance was caused by some of tbe boys
on the short side, trying to cover, and the com
modity being scarce, the price wav run up.
News from tbe field was rather bullish, espe
cially that from th Wildwood district..' This
assisted the little boom.
Refined declined a fraction at Antwerp, but
was unchanged elsewhere. Average runs, 84,

NEW YOBK STOCKS.
The Market Opens Stronger and. Broader,
bnt Closes Rather "Weak, With but Few
Changes or Note Burlington
Shows the Least Strength.
New York, Jan. 30. While the death of
Secretary Windoni produced genuine sorrow
in Wall street to-day, it bad no apparent influ
ence upon tbe speculation. Tbe market, how
ever, at least during tbe morning hours to-day,
was broader and stronger than usual of late, to
which the utterances of Secretary Windom last
evening aided, hut there was again an evident
support given in the Gould stocks and Vander
bilts. Lake Shore being especially prominent in
the rise, being helped by rumors of increasing
earnings. There wis at tbe same time excel
lent busing of Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific
anu wneennganu ulo cne, an oi wmciiaie
conspicuous for the advances scored in the
earlv dealings.
Burlington continues the weakest spot in the
market, and, while there is some buying in it,
the traders and bears bavo made it a favorite
for their attacks. The Northern Pacific became
very weak late in the dav, and this in spite of
the publication of a dispatch which declared
that it had been decided to make the next divi
dend at the rate of 5 per cent per annum. The
story had so much tbe appearance of being put
nut to sell the stock upon, that there was a
drop to realize on the profits of the last rise,
and a material loss resulted in the short time
rem nning to do business in.
This decline was also hastened by rumors
that, by reason of large Treasury absorptions
during the week, the banc statement would
show a material loss in Teserve. This, how
ever, could , be easily withstood, as the banks
havo been unable to place even a portion of the
funds which have accumulated in their vaults
for the past four weeks.
Tho market opened at irregular but small
changes from last night's figures, and soon de
veloped strength ou the buying noticed, Lon
don giving &ome aid in this direction. Consid
erable actuity marked the upward movement,
but the demand was soon satisfied aud prices
dropped, when dullness became the lead
ing feature. Stagnation ruled during
tne first two afternoon hours, and it was only
late in the dav, with the selling of the Northern
Pacific and Union Pacific and the buying uf
other stocks, tbat animation was again teen.
The close was quiet but weak, atinsigullicant
changes for niosi stocks. , The only ones oi im
portance wcro losses of "i. in sliver and 1 per
centin Northern Pacific while Lake Shore
rose li sugar, new stock, 1, and Wheeling and
Lake Jbrie preferred 1.
Railroad bonds were quiet, with a well dis
tributed business or 1.223,000, of which Erie
seconds contributed S103.000. There vas very lit
tle tono to tho dealings, howover, and lightand
irregular changes resulted .from the day's op
eration;. The important changes are few, with
a majority of declines.

WILDWOOD IN THE SHADE,
THE JrCUBDY POOL 18 HOW AT THE
FE0HT WITH A GUSHES.
Unwarranted Interest in the Callery Field
News From the Old-Time Districts A
New Well at Chartiers Intelligence
From Other Oil Fields.
ISrKCIAL TKLEGUAM TO TUX DIKPATCn.1
McCukdy, JaD. 30. The McCurdy pool
bas done itself proud to-day, and for tbe
time lays Wildwood iu tbe shade As pre-1
dieted in yesterday's Dispatch, the Pal
mer bas turned out all right, and to-day
came to the front with a record of 1 000 barrels
a day. 1 be scene around, the well o-daywas
lively and full of interest, and a large number
of operators were present to see tbe gusher
ooraeln.
Tbat tbe McCurdy will prove a pool of no
small proportions cannot be questioned. This
supposition is borne nut by tbe phenomenal
record of the old McCurdy and tbe large
caliber of the Palmer, which came in to-day.
These two wells show a large body of oil, and
just where it will end remains for the drill to
develop.
After making connection with the boiler
drilling was resumed, and almost from tho first
stroke of the bit it was apparent tbat tbe oil
was increasing. From 1 until 2 o'clock tbe well
made one and a half Inches, and
from 2 to 3 increased to four
inches. As the drill keep bouncing
away the production steadily increased, and
to-night, when The Dispatch scout left the
well, it was making 40 barrels an hour. As the
owners have only one tank up at tbe well. It
has been turned into the pipe line company's
tank.
The TIdbal, which was reported dry, also
came to the front to-day as a big surprise. The
well was treated to a bO-quart shot of high ex
plosive, and the result is a producer anywhere
from 40 to 60 barrels a day.
Unwarranted Interest at Callery.
Callery The interest at Callery is still
maintained at fever pitch. There is nothing,
however, in the situation to justify this condi
tion of affairs. True, there have been several
good wells struck within a very small radius,
hut their careers have been short. The old
Geoblng well, tbe initial gusher of the field,
without question will always hold first honors,
as subsequent ventures have demonstrated.
This well, although born but a short time
ago, has passed its zenith. and
inow relegated to an ordinary pumper. It is
reported to-day tbat the Wahl, Bishop & Co,
well, on the Staples farm, has closely followed
In the wake of its predecessor, and it is not un
likely that some of tbe other producers here
will "hare the same fato. At 40 feet the owneis
encountered a big dose of salt water. The re
sult is they are tubine tbe well, and it is ques
tionable whether the old production can ever
be regained.
Producers at Warren.
Wabreit. Pa. The producers' meeting was
in. session all day and reconvened to-night,
with prospects of a late session, as they are de
sirous of leaving for their homes to-morrow.
Delegates all guard secrets more closely than
ever. It is safe to sav that new pipe lines and
refineries are to bn established, and producers
will be able to put their products on the mar
ket on a level with those of the Standard. Tbe
interest has been kept up all through the ses
sion, and the meeting has proved to be one of
great imnortance to oil producers. Tbe com
mittees all reported to-day, and Hon. L.
Emery left lor Bradford this evening. Tbe re
sult of tbe meeting will, no doubt, be shown
in the course of events.
But Little New Work at Taylorstown.
Taylokstows But little new work is under
way In tbe old layloratown field, and tbe con
trast of inactivity and dullness with the ani
mated and hustling times of only a short time
ago is truly remarkable. Tbe Washington
Oil Company, which possesses considerable ter
ritory here, is doing but little work as com
pared with their past record. ,
Some Activity at Mardocksvllle.
Murdocksville The old Murdocksville
pool shows some activity. At present there are
six. wells drilling and seven or eight rigs up
and building. V. C. Kennedy & Co., on tbe
Sexton, are down 1.700 feet with their No. 9;
Crawford iTJo.'s No. 1, on the Hawlan. 1,400
feet; Fisher Oil Company's No. 2, Demis farm,
900 feet; Union Oil Company, Burns farm No.
3, l.WW teet.
Uookstown Up With the Procession.
Hookstows Hookstowh stillkeepsup with
tho procession of the old pools in tbe South
west. While there is less activity hero than at
Murdocksville yet the volume of new work is
surprising tor this time of the year and tho low
price of oil. A scout visited the old digging
to-day aud reports ten wells drilling and oue or
two rigs up.
Tarkeyfoot Leads the Old Fools.
Tubkeykoot In point of activity, and pro
duction. Turkeyfoot takes- the lead of the old
pools. The territory is more productive than
at Murdocksville and Hookstown. During
January six wells were completed, two of
which aro dusters, while tbe other four have a
production of 175 barrels a day, or an average
to the well of 45 barrels. From a prominent
operator who came in from the field The Dis
patch scout was informed that there were
nine wells drilling and eight rigs up and build
ing. Wildwood's Production Decreasing.
Wildwood Wildwood ' presents nothing
new to-day. The production of the big wells
is gradually coming down. Kennedy's well
on the railroad lot is doing 2 barrels an hour.
Tne Bowman gasser was drilled to-dav, and a
slight improvement was noticeable. The well
is doing five barrels an hour. The McDevitt
No. 2 well, on the Guyton, is net good for more
than 40 barrels per day. Cbalfant & Co. are
building a rig on the Whitney farm.
A New Well at Chartiers.
Chartiees Marlarkey & Co. shot their No.
2 Sculley last night, and in tbe first 24 hours tbe
well made 300 barrels.'
Cokaofolis The Mellon well, on tbe Kerr
farm, made 135 barrels in the first 24 hours, and
is still holding up at 100 barrels a day.

Friday, Jan. 30.
Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Friday has proved by far tbe best day of the
week in this department of trade. Favorable
weather and tbe fact that retailers are well
cleaned up brought an unusual number of cus
tomers. The mouths are as numerous as ever
and must be filled, so buyers are making up for
tbe quietness of the early part of the week.
There aro no changes in prices worthy of note.
Eggs are in good supply, but demand is equally
good. Potatoes and apples are quiet. Con
sumption in these lines bas greatly fallen this
season becanse of bigh prices. All dairy prod
ucts are easy, with tbe exception of cheese,
which is firm.

Groceries.
Sugars are weak at the recent decline, and
will probably go lower soon. As the 2-cen
tariff on sugar Is to be lifted April 1, jobbers
are carrying only what is necessary to meet
current demands. Offers are made to furnish
any quantity of granulated sugar for April de
livery at 4c per pound. The reason for carry
ing light stocks is apparent.

Conflicting News In the Wheat Pit Causes
Prices to Drop Corn Neglected
A Sharp Break in Oats Pro
visions Lose Gronnd.
CHICAGO The news of tbe day was really
conflicting, and as a result the wheat market
was a nervous one during most of the session,
with numerous fluctuations within narrow
limits, but finally a decidedly weak feeling took
possession of tho pit, and prices went off. Tbe
opening price for May was OSc, with some
sales at 97Kc It sold up to 98c to 9SKc. re
acted to 97c advancedagain to 8c, declined
to 97K97?ic, artvanred to 97c, declined to 97c,
and closed at 97K97Jc
Corn was slow receiving only a moderate de
gree of attention from tbe general crowd, and
was during the greater part of tbe session left
to tbe specialists in that commodity. May
opened at 52c with some few sales at tbe same
time at 52a There was an advanco in a few
minutes to 53c.a reaction to52Kc,and after sell
ing for same time around 5252c it fell oil
sharply to 5 recovering aiain to o2852Jc,
and closing with sellers at 52c
The feature of the oats market was tbe trade
in June, which was heavier than all of tbe
previous business. Hutchinson took this future
under supervision and bought over 200.000
bushels, advancing the market until it sold at
tbe same price as May. Bucxley was the prin
cipal seller.
There was an appearance of strength in
provisions when the market opened, but it
proved very illusory and was quickly taken ad
vantage of by the picking interests to load all
tbe outsiders willing to take their product at a
manufacturing profit. Pork was the first
article to weaken, but after the call lard which
had been previously fairly steady, aud ribs
which had been rather firm, both showed
symptoms of weakness and declined, so that
the closing prices are 2Ko lower for lard and
ribs than at the corresponding time yesterday.
May pork closed at 5c decline.

MINNEAPOLIS The elevator companies
bought hardly any good wheat to-day. but tbe
millers took bold liberally In the early part of
the session, and cleared up tbe wheat there was
for sales suitable for their use. They claimed
tbat the flour market bad not advanced enough
to justify the price they received, and that
there is a loss of 15c a barrel iu selling flour at
the present price and buvin- heat khii
they bought wheat, as they had to or shut
down. A few fair sized lots wero bought to go
outside. The feeling was easier and prices
were uown a fraction later. Closing quotations
