STATfJ OF THE FOREIGN METAL MARKET
rTCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THK SIseATCK.1
if nw York, Feb. 12. The Iron Age re
ports the condition of the iron and metal
market as follows:
American Pic Sellers report a light
business. Very low prices have been made
recently in the Xew England market, nearly
every salesman referring to the very close
figures being made in that section. Ala
bama and Virginia irons seem to be pressing
in that quarter. No. 1 selling as low as 516.
In tills section the movement is not notable.
We quote Northern No. 1 foundry. J16 500
17 50; No, 2, tlo 7516 50, forge, ill 2515 00,
tidewater, and Sou. hern iron, 115 25Q16 00 for
No. 2, with little No. 1 offering.
Spiegcleisen and Ferro Manganese Tho sale
of spicgeleisen referred to in oar last was SO
3er cent metal. Tlie same concern bas bought
since then 5,000 tons of 10 per ceril German
splegeleisen. Ferro manganese is dull and
nominal at 61 50SK2. while 20 per cent splegel
iniv be quoted at i2S 5029 for English.
Billets Open hearth billets have sold at low
tigu. -s lately la Eistern Pennsylvania. Rods

tcc' Rails Sales arp reported bv one East
ern mill or a nuinbtr ot lots, aggregating
about 17.01)0 tons, including one lot for the
Grand Trunk at S31 CO. Portland, Me. Altbongh
it is affirmed m some quarter:, the Pennsyl
vania contract has not yet been placed wnolly
or - part, there is a moderate amount of in
quiry, aid the Eastern mills are now generally
a-klu: K0 75 at tidewater, which is somewhat
lis- ihan SCO at mill forsomo of the works. A
riieeticg ot stockholders of the two Scranton
mills as held lastweek, and at both tne vote
was in favor of consolidation.
Manufactured Iron and Steel Prices in all
lme continue to be very un-atifactory, and
the volume of business is moderate. Itiste
ported that i part at least of the elevated work
pending has been taken. Ve also note some
roend sales of steel plates. 7 he latter have
been low. at least one large contract having
been uiaced in Eastern Pennsylvania for de
liver at a btrnrtaral mill in that section at less
than 2 cents. We quote angles. 24jB.0c: sheared
Vlates, 2.05g2.2Sc: tees. 2.52.75c, and beams
and channels, 3.1c on dock. Steel plates are
2.05g2.15c for tank, 2.35fi!2.fic for shell, and 2.6
2.7c tor flange, on dock. Bars are L7L9c on

Old Materials Very little has been done In
old rails, for which the leading -ellera ask 123.
while bujers' views are 22(722 50. Old steel
rails are offered at $20, delivered in small quan
tities, but melting stock in xbe form of crop
ends is too cheap to allow of business being
done. A moderate sized amount of foreign
scrap has beeu sold at 19 on dock.
THE T0HEIGK METAL MAEKET.
A Big Demand for Tin Plate the Most Dis
tinguishing Feature This Week.
MTLlAb TELKORAJI TO THE DlSrATCIT.J
New Yokk, Feb. 12. The foreign iron and
metal market is thus renorted by the Iron Age:
In London the market for pig iron w arrant s has
shown little change during the past week,
bpeculators who sold freely of Scotch have
n anifested a desire to lessen their commit
ments, and buyers found difficulty In getting
their wants supplied, although four fur
naces are soon to he relighted,
and masters are arranging for employ
ment of non-union labor. The firmness of
prces for warrants, in the face ot these
lacif. is looked upon as indicating that
the lestartmg of furnaces has been fully dis
counted. Official returns show that spring
ceii and recentlv has been small. Owing to ac
cumulations cf stock at furnace', Cleveland
makei Arc rather despondent. Latest trans
actions in warrants on Tuesday were at 46s. lid.
for Scotch: 41b. Cd for Cleveland, ana 50s. lOd
for hematites Wednesdays dealings were at
47- 47s. 2d. lor Scott h: 41s. 9d. for Cleveland,
and 51s. Sd. for hematites.
Following the quite large sales of tin, under
which prices dropped to A"9 5s.. there has been
considerable covering of short accounts, and
prices have reacted 17s. 6d. in face of the fact
that straight shipments last month were larger
than was generally expected, adding 1,00!) Ions
to the visible supply. Tho low price reached
attracted outside speculative interest, that as
sisted in moving prices upward. The copper
market Las been irregular. but is
showing a firmer tendency. Although re
cently depressed business with consumers
shows great development, due in good part to
continued i urihasc of American supplies at
low prices, the statistical position seems to
have little effect upon prices. Increased sup
plies from America appear to be needed to pre
vent a troublesome depletion of stocks here.
The sirugele for control of copper companies'
shares in Paris continues, with bulls succeed
ing in securing a large amount of Rio Tintos.
O'i bankinc brin has taken np 1,500 shares.
Tin plate is held at Cd advance by nearly all
makers, owing to increasing demand and eager
ness of bujeis. Many makers are booked lour
moi.tl s ahead. Negotiations are under way for
supplies for delivers further ahead than July
for other than American markets. This causes
decided confidence. Exports last month were
S3.O00 tons, agam-t 32.000 tons during Jauuarv,
ISaO. Spriuz fauhtiesat Swansea have been
greatl improved auringthe past fortnight.
Six steamers will leave the port this week with
plates for America. 1 he finished iron trade is
still in depressed condition. Three prominent
sheet iron worxs in Bilston are about to close
doun. Steel ship plates are lower, bring
off erod now at i.6 2s Cd, and slow of tale at the
decline. .

A STAGNANT SPELL.
The Coke- Market Strikes a Snag Shipments
Increased, However, Over Those of the
Previous Week The Idle Ovens Now
Amount to 15,281.
FrtCIAL TELtOHAM TO THZ DISPATm.1
ScorTOALr. yen. 12. The coke maricet has
reca dashed again: the rocks and splintered
Into fragments. Business has become stagnant.
The shutdown to restrict the output has been
contemplated by operators for some time,
nn account of the demands ot their
employes and the derangement in
then.,; iron and other markets. Among the
big co'i-umers the most notable is the Edgar
Thomson Steel Works, where the stockyards
arc fn!! of coke. The immense stacks of coke
present the appearance or small mountains.
Tko Illinois fa eel Company in the West
also lias an abundant supply on hand,
and will hardly want for fuel for sometime.
11 e Eastern consumers are fully supplied, so
there are no prospects of orders originally in
tended for the coke region being diverted to
oilier districts of less note. Trade last week
was more active than has characterized it for a
few weeks past. Tho demand was heavier from
all consumptive points. Western shipmentsin
creascd a couple of hundred cars.
hpeaklng on the situation, an operator said
to-day: "The outlook has not been so discour
aging for some j ears. The iron trade is badly
shattered and seems io be on Its last legs.
Until it improves we cannot hope for a revival
in the coke trade. There is nothing like a
visible sign for a favorable turn. As to the
question of resumption oT work in the regions,
1 am unurepared to make a statement." The
slupp.ng facilities were again all that could be
desired. There was no barrier in this
ilirertion, -ind all consignments were
unickly dispise'! of oa alt lines.
The works of Fricfc. Schoonmaker,

near as can be stated, the list of idle ovens at

BUT LITTLE CHAWQE IN THE FIELDS,
AM) THAT FOB WOESE.
Still Gloomy at Wlldwood Wells Looked
for at McCurdy Good Producers at
Falrvlew Some Bad Fishing Jobs News
From the Oil Fields Near By.
The general situation in the field from
every source shows but little change. Upon
the whole, if anything may said of import
ance, the production is falling off. The
week so far has not been noted ior big welle,
but, on the contrary, small ones hare been
found where prolific producers were looked
for. Especially is this the case at Wildwood.
and the far-famed south est line is fast losing
its glorious reputation. There has nothing
materialized as yet at McCurdy, but the result
of three or four wells that should soon reach
the sand is anxiously awaited.
Still Gloomy at Wildwood.
IPrrCIAL TKLKGKAM TO TBI DISFATCH. I
Wildwood, Feb.12. As pointed out by The
Dispatcii, the production at Wildwood is
tumbling loner every day, and a conservative
estimate here for the past 21 hours makes the
output at about 8,000 barrels. The Ringheisen
No. 3 found a little more oil on deeper drilling
to-day, but the Increase has not changed the
aspect or the venture, as reported in yester
day's DisrATdi. The Kennedy well, on the
Pittsburg and Western lot, has declined to 20
barrels an hour, while the Bowman gasser, its
near neighbor, is onVj tin ordinary pumper.
TbeKungaNo. 3 is through the sand, notwith
standing reports to the contrary, and, as It now
appears, is good for only a small well.
Some Good Fairview Wells.
Fairview A special to The Dispatch
from Falrvlew to-night says that Fisher No. 1,
Z. F. Yost, has struck tho second pay, and the
well, in its present condition. Is good for 250
barrels a day. The South fenn Oil Company's
well, which came in about a week ago on the
James Yost farm at 500 barrels, is still holding
np at that figure. McLeod & Davis, at their No.
2. Sutton farm, have put in the last string ot
casing, and by the last of the week will get the
sand. On the M. Wilson farm, the South Penn
are down 1.050 feet with their wildcat venture,
and their experimental well on Plum run, be
tween Mannington and Fairview, will most
likely get in some time next week.
A Well at New Wilmington Dry.
New Castle, Feb. 12. Work has been
abandoned on the oil well on the Thompson
farm at New Wilmington. The hole was put
down 2.400 feet, and at the time there was a
good showing for oil. but the tools were with
drawn to-day and a dry hole is the result. On
the Hamilton farm, near New Wllmimrton.
where the boiler explosion took place a few
das ago. work has been suspended, but drill
ing will be commenced as soon as a new boiler
and engine arrives. A location has been fixed
for a well at Wampum and the derrick and
machinery contracted for.
Two Bad Fishing Jobs at Crafton.
Crafto:? Bennett fc Co. completed their
well on the Thornburg'farm yesterday, which
will make a 15 or 20 barrel w ell. The Forest
Oil Company, which bas been fishing for the
past two years on the Phillips No. 1, bas finally
got the bole clear, and If no more bad lnck
occurs, will bring the well In the latter part of
the week. It is also still Ashing for a set of
jars in No. 3 Ilartly, at a depth of 2.100 feet.
At Dnffs station tbiscompanv is drilling in the
One Hundred-foot on the Duff farm.
The Forest Oil Company's Wells.

3, Neely, is down MX) feet; No. 5. Kern, 1,950
feet: No. 2. McClmton, spudding, and No. 2,
Getty, spudding. On the Neely farm they are
building Nos. 4, 5, 6 and 7 rigs, and one on tho
S. Neelv and another on the Eherhart prop
erty. The well started some time ago on the
Hogbar, in tlio middle of the Ohio river, has
been shut down again on account of high
water.
Two Wells at Oakdale.
OAKDALE At Oakdale the Forest Company
is fishing for a set of broken Jars on the Ewing
farm at 1,900 fact, and the well on the Wright
property is down 1,-250 feet.

GREAT PROSPERITY ON THE SODTHSIDE
A "For Bale" eign is again displayed on
the Fifth avenue side of the Splane prop
erty. It was put up a month or two ago
and taken down. Its reappearance shows
that tbe property is still in the market It
will be remembered that a report of its sale

currency, but turned out to be incorrect.
Colonel Thomas was named as the pur

A Streak of Good Luck.
The Kensington syndicate Is in lnck. W.
C Stewart, who represents these people, stated
yesterday evening that one of the largest gas
wells yet struck in the northwest Murraysville
field had just been brought in. This field Is
just back of the new town of Kensington, and
is known a one of tho most reliable gas-staying
districts in the country. Tho syndicate
being thus assured of a large supply of this de
sirable fuel, and having inexhaustible quanti
ties of coal, will at once proceed to make ar
rangements with manufacturers to locate.
Two large glass factories are about closing
negotiations for sites, and deals aro nnder way

The Owners May Build.
Considerable has been said ono way and an
other about tbe Smith property, at the corner
of Sixth and Liberty streets. A week or two
ago it was reported that a syndicate was after
it for a hotel site. This scheme seems to have
fallen through, for a gentleman said yesterday
that one of the owners informed him the early
part of this week that they were considering
the advisability of themselves patting up a
large building on the property. Vtiere is no
doubt this valuable site will be Improved in
keeping with tbe progressive ideas of the city
within a year or two, aud the probability is
that a start will be made the coming summer.
The Southslde Prospering.
There is no quarter of the city except tbe
East End that has improved so rapidly within
the last two or three years as the Sonthsido,
credit for which is largely due to the business
element on that side of tbe river, of whom
Messrs. Hays & Noble are entitled to special
mention. Not only have the improvements
been on a large scale during the time indicated,
but they have been of a much better class than
before. This good work, prosecuted very
quietly, has converted the hilltops into one ot
the most desirable resident localities in tbe
county and given real estato such an impulse
as to bring a largo amount of acreage into the
market to meet the demand. Sales of building
sites are as frequent as in any other locality in
or about tbe city. It is thought improvements
this year will break the record, good as it is, in
number and value.

A Big Jump in Bent.
The rental of a small house on Franklin
street, Wilkinsbnrg, has been advanced from
18 to 22 within tbe last few days. Taking this
rstber remarkable jump for a text, a business
I man of that place talked in this wise yesterday:
"It is poor policy on the part of an owner to
charge more than his house is worth merely
because he can get it. It is playing Shilock on
a small scale. But this is often done because
the tenant dislikes to move or is unable to get
another place. Houses are so scarce that rent
ers are compelled to accept any terms. They
have no recourse. In their greed, owners
sometimes come out second best. They get the
promise of a blgh rental, but siokness or accl
dent prevents fulfillment and they find them
selves out of pocket. My experience is that It
pays owners to be reasonable."

Electric Weaker in Sympathy With Lower
Prices in Boston.
There seemed to be alack of confidence in
Electric yesterday, to judge from the way the
value of the stock was clipped off. It was
weak all day. and closed nearly 82 below the
opening.
Both sides fought shy, as if they did not fully
understand the situation, or were holding back
for something which might havo an iuiDortant
bearing on the market. Tho stock was lower at
Boston, and ttis was, no doubt, tbe cause of
the decline here. Most of the buying by the
local crowd was to cover shorts.
Philadelphia Gas was down a trlfile from the
previous close. Pittsburg Traction improved a
shade and Pleasant Valley submitted to a small
concession. Luster was the weakest stork on
the list, closing at a loss of SI 60 for the day.
New York and Cleveland Coal was wanted, at
37. There was nothing new of importance in
other nans of the list. Total sales were 1,545
shares.

M0HEY MARKET.
Liberal Supply, bat No Prospect of a Drop
in Bates.
While money is easier than at anytime within
six months local bankers say tbe situation does
not warrant a lower rate of interest than 607
per cent for the reason that the demand is pick
ing up so fast as to warrant the belief that the
call will soon assnme a close relation to the
supply. Under these circumstances there Is
no probability of a concession. It is a fact,
how eyer.that the market is weak at the outside
figure. First-class paper fieds ready sale.
Bankers spoken to yesterday reported a good
business In routine lines and a fair amount of
discounting, tbe latter feature showing a
healthy and gratifying improvement from day
today. Exchanges were 1,906,412 39 and bal

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Pressure of Short Sales and Unfavorable
News Depress the Share Market A
Slight Rally at the Close Bonds
Sympathize Very Closely.
New York. Feb. 12. The stock market to
day was inclined to be heavy, though displaying
a firm undertone throughout tbe forenoon; but
later iu the day gave way materially under
pressure of short sales, and closed lower, Tbe
room was inclined to the bear side, however,
and ne?rly all tbe room traders were found on
that side before the end ot tbe day, and, as
might be expected, the street was filled with
rumors of desertions from tho ball side of in
fluential men; but the transactions, notwith
standing the material loss scored in a few
stocks, gave no indicaliou of any amount of
long stock coming npon tbe market. The
speculation is still extremely narrow, and sup
port is not apparent, except when irmay be
specially needed; and, while there is no dispo
sition to throw over lines accumulated even at
lower prices, tbe market bas been allowed to
drift into dullness.
To-da these conditions inclined the traders
to take the short side, as there seemed no longer
any chance of making a turn on the long side,
and Burlington was selected as the object of a
demonstration, and was sold down per cent
in the first hour. Tbe exposure ot the dyna
mite plot by officers of the Whisky Trust waS
also the occasion of a drive at that stock, and
it yielded ljcat the same time. The con
cessions, however, failed to drag the rest of the
list with them, and by noon a full recovery had
been made.
At this juncture the announcement was made
that 1,600.000 in gold bad been ordered for ex
port, and immediately a drive was made at all
tbe leading active stocks, wnich bad tbe effect
of depressing their prices from ItolJJper
cent. Later, however. It was seen that tbe ship
ment at the ruling rates for exchange was made
at a loss, ana tbe pressure was withdrawn as
suddenly as it had been applied: but the market
remained stagnant at the depression. Tbe bears
raided most of tbe leading shares, including
Western Union, and attempted to extend tbe
drive to other Gould stocks, but found Missouri
Pacific so strongly supported that they wore
unable 10 make any impression unoo it.
The downward movement had come com
pletely to a standstill before delivery hour, and
tbe traders began to cover in tbe last bonr with
the effect of causing a slight rally in the final
dealings. There was developed no special
feature whatever, and the close was dull aud
firm at better than tho lowest prices. Tbe final
changes are all in tho direction of lower prices,
however, and Sugar receipts lost Lake
Shore. i: Louisville and Nashville, which
was also arlecieil bv tbe resignation of Presi
dent Norton, lll; St, Paul and Wheeling and
Lake Erie preferred each 1 percent, and others
fractional amounts.

per bushel below the highest point reached in
the early winter. Cboice stock is quoted at
1 15, but the cash buyer can, without doubt,
do a little better than this. Cabbage and
onions are quiet at much lower rates than pre
vai.ed a month ago. As tbe season for the ar
rival of tbe new crop of vegetables from tbe
West Indies draws near, tbe old stock grors
steadily weaker. Tropical fruits are in over
supply aud demand is slow. Florida oranges
are especially plentiful aud inside quotations
rule. Cboice creamery butter is steady at the
advance, and blgh grade cheese is very firm.

The movement in this department of trade"
continues Slow, a fact attributed by jobbers to
tbe wretched condition of country roads and
labor troubles in tbe coke regions. Prices of
staples are unchanged. The looked-for rise In
canned goods has failed to materialize to any
great extent, and the prospect of further ad

MARKETS BY WIRE.

Close Corn and Oats Tame Pro
visions Lower.
CHICAGO Tho brilliant snn responsive
smiled to the countenances of tbe bears in
wheat ere the market opened and tbe same
beams of heavenly light warmed np the hearts
or the bulls. The former saw in prospective an
early harvest, while tbe latter gave a warning
shake of the bead at the party of hope aud pre
dicted many alternations ot heat anu cold for
at least six weeks to come, with apprehension
in tbelr hearts of the consequences of each
changes to the wheat plant. Rnmors of some
such cash business done yesterday afternoon at
New York and elsewhere was likewise passed
around, and these, with easier cables, were tbe
governing influences previous to the opening of
the session, when May sold at 97097c The
Cincinnati I'rice CurrtnVM report of a high
average condition of tbe fall wheat, and ouly
20 per cent of the old cron remaining in farm
ers' hand, favored lower prices for July ana
higher for May. Tbe Northwestern receipts
were again in excess of those of a year ago.
New York wired an offer for 150,000 bushels of
T$o. 2 red winter for immediate shipment at 1c
per bnshel under tbe May price, but no trans
action resulted. Advices of cash sales at good
prices were reported from various points, and
these were tbe leading influences on tbe mar
ket, which kept to a narrow range throughout
tbe day, closing steady.
The trading in corn was light and tbe fluctu
ations in prices of a corresponding character,
the active delivery being confined within Jc
bounds.
The oats market was a very tame affair and
even duller tban on the previous day. What
little trading tbere was was all of a scalping
nature, no orders Being received iroru tne
country. Tbere was a flurry In rye. the shorts
becoming scared. It advanced 3c per bnshel.
tbe May delivery clo'ing to-day at 80c, com
pared with 77o yesterday.
The receipts ot hogs were again liberal, 45.000
bead being tbe numoer estimated in the morn
ing, and tbe Price Current estimated the pack
ing In the West for tbe past week as being
125,000 head in excess of that of the year before,
lhere was an Immediate slnmD in prices as
soon as trading commenced. May pork opening
at 9 60 and May ribs at 4 SO, as compared with
9 70 and 4 85 respectively, at tbe close yester
day. Lard was less week just at tbe opening,
but it quickly sympathized. The feature oa
the decline was the covering of considerable
lines of shorts by tbe Cudahy Packing Com
pany, about 2,000,000 pouuds of ribs being
bought on thjs account, and a good many small
lots of long stuff were dumped by commission
houses.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor
