Xl-v Yokk, Feb. 2G. The Iron Age re
ports the iron and steel markets as follows :
American Pig Deliveries or foundry iron are
running somewhat freer, and in the instance of
particularly favored northern brands, the
movement ha? been sufficient to make some in
roads uuun the January accumulation at f ur
ates, besides absorbing thn current ontpat.
The popular bran-is arc thus holding their own
remarkably well, while on others that don't
stand as high in :hc estimation of consumers,
prices are still somenbat irregular. Several lots
of warrant iron, for example, have been
dtsroscd of at til " at furnaco.
ur the equivalent to $15 59 at tidewater for No.
2, -uluch price Is50cfJSl belon those quoted for
stanuard brands by furnace agents. Orders for
higa grade foundry pig arc coming along very
fairlj and serve to give more tone to the mar
Vet ior that class of material; but low grade
fo.mdrvand mill iron seems to be plentiful at
old figures. The extreme ranee on Kortbern
brands i J17IS for No 1, S1G&16 00 lor No. 2.
and SI4K15 ir grav forge, Southern feds at
SIC 25S17 o0 for No. 1 fouadrj S15 2j116 for
No. 2 and CHllli lor No. 3, according to brand.
Smegelei-en and l'erro Manganese Some
orders for 20 per cent apcigel hare been placed
atabon SlB lor German and S2S 00 lor KuglisL
and at S23 00 for 10QV2 per cent, but the de
inamt i slow at present, and it would doubtless
be difficult to moi e additional quantities at as
goojpncc. For 80 ici cent ferro manganese
Hicie i little demand and prices are barely
sieaav at JfilgJ62 for deliveries here.
bttel Rails As lar as reported, the transac
tions Lave ieeu confined "holly to unimpoitant
lots and chiefly lutle sections. Large orders
are held in abeyance, and railroad companies
apparentls hae no great faith m the endur
ance of the rail manufacturers' agreement. It
is a fact that small orders have been taken at
301es brokerage, and buyers assert that the
rate quuted has teen, and still wonla be, shaded
n rcall) desirable oruers. It would thus ap
iiear that tbe firmness of the market is largely
superficial.
Ihlleis and Rods There is no change in tho
situation here. Orders come in slowlj. and are
imariablv for unimportant quantities. Ordi-
nar sort bidets arc still quoted at iZi aieKJfc,
f. o." !l E istern Pennsylvania mill, and wire
rods-at JlSgSS 50 at tideater.
Manufactured Iron and Steel In this line
new business has been unimportant. Prices
are stiil iriegular We quote: Angles. r2.10c:
sheared plates. 2.035J2.2JC: tees, 2.0532.75c. and
lieatns and clnnm Is, 3.1c, on dock. Steel
Plates ate 2.05fiil5c for tank. 2.3562.6 for
shell and 2.6fi2.7o for Hauge, on dock. Bars-
are LTfil.Oc on dock.
Rail Fastenings The purchase is reported of
30.090 kegs of spikes for the New York Central
Railroad Company at a very Juw price. Out
side of this nothing more than routine transac
tions conie to notice. Values ar still rather
in buyers favor; 1.110 1.9oe is quoted for spikes,
L75gl."b "c for ancles aud 2.C5!97oc for bolt.
Old Material Sales of old iron rails have
been few m number and confined to small lots.
On tees,, better otTers than 21 are rare, and
holders consider J2222 50 as being very oIoms
rates. IVrouirht srrap bas been sold at 19
19 50, ex -ship, to the extent of several hundred
ions. Parcels afloat may I had at the same
price.
FOREIGN METAL MAKKETS.
On the Whole They Have Undergone but
Very Little Change.
-srECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH.;
New Yor.K, Feb. 26. The condition of the
foreign metal markets is thus reported by the
1 on Age. London operations In pig iron war
rauts have been, moderate and prices show
comparatively little change. Outside specu
lative interest is very small, and while the bear
interest have manifested more disposition to
cover, tbe movement has had no effect upon
prices. Some holders stain, out firmly
for higher prices, bur others realize
when opportunity offer-, in view of the prep
arations making for starting np furnaces.
There arc at present no less than 14 furnaces
Idowlng in in Scotland, that will probably lie in
operation on March 3. The output will be enn
lmed to Bessemer and best Scotch brands,
shipments have been heavier the past w eek
and withdrawals from warrant stocks large.
Litest trading in warrants was 46s. lOil.glTs.
ft.r '"ditch. 41s. lld.12s. for Cleveland, aud 50s.
Sd. 30s. lOd. for hcin-ititcs.
Tnr-s foi pig tin declined early in the week
to 89 10s. spot, nr.der the influence of free
selling by large importers. The low price in
duced some outs Ide speculative buying, but the
market has again flattened. Eastern shipments
are expected to be heavy, but are partially off
set by heavy consumption in tin ulatc and for
other purposes. Copper has undergone very
little change, but the market is finnpr. Sellers
are resered in their offerings, and spec
ulative inteiest is rather more active.
Higher prices are expected, as thire is
lesAmei lean selling. Consumers are buying
moderated, bui there is more inquiry lrom
Bomcquaiters. The market for tin plate has
been very quiet, with American demand es
jecia!l slack. Milters, being sold well ahead
on their production, arc not pressing business,
3jut outside sellers arc more plentiful, at some
what ea-ier priers, xcept for prompt delivery.
- very fair lniine& has been done in charcoals
at as high as 20-. for favorite brands. Stocks
of old iron are ligh but holders seem anxious
to sell, and prices are still weak.
VERY POOR OUTLOOK.
Coke Shipments Down to Almost Nothing
The Market in a Dismal Condition A
Decn-aso or 1,410 Carloads During the
Past Week in Miipments.
-SPECIAL TKLECHAM TO THE DISPATCIM
Scottimle, Feb. 26. The coke market does
not manifest a single sign of improvement.
Shipments last week took another ieraarkable
eorniwird spnrt and the aggregate does not
rompare auy.hing like favorably with a quarter
day's shipments lu times of prosperity, or
tven when tap demand was sorely depressed.
Tne outlooc continue? to be decidedly poor.
The ronsumers still have an ample supply.
Those of the Frick Company are reported as
Slaving the best supply. The North Chicago
Hulling Mill is not jet compelled to economize
m its stock, havingan abundance of fuel storeil
aiay itr the stockhousc". The Cambria Iron
Company at Johnstown is less fortunate, as-are
many of the consumers of the ilc'.'lure Cotn
lam. J heir resources are not yet exhausted,
however. Tho Eastern coking regions aro re
jvitted to be sopplung some of their orders.
There are over 15.700 idle ovens in the region.
The number of actives is difficult to estimate
at tli is writing.
Shipments last wecK only averaged 55 cars
per day, as agaiust 2U0 cars of tbe week before.
The oecreasc amounted to 1.410 cars. The fol
lowing wis th record it consignments: To
points m est of Pittsburg,20r cars: tu points cast of

surance Company nt Chicago.
An examination into the affairs of the com
pany in November disclosed the fact that its
capital was impaired $36,213. At the time nf
this examination the auditor ascertained that
M pages bad been cut or torn from the jour
nal of the company, 14 of which had been used.
It was claimed that tbe bookkeeper tore the

manner in which it was kept. Tho auditor
avers that tho books were kept in a very im
perfect and unintelligible manner.
The insurance risks In force in November,

THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CIT1
Some additional information wasobtained
yesterday in regard to building prospects
all of a conservative but hopeful tenor.
An architect whose name is withheld at
his request said: "While there are fewer
buildings in contemplation than at this
same time last year, it is the opinion of
those in position to know that the omission
will be made good later in the season. A
late start is not necessarily a bad start.
Few believe the labor difficulty is deep
seated." Jlr. H. C. Deeds, contractor and builder,
at Edgewond, remarked: '"The uncertainty
as to the outcome of the eight-hour movement,
which will culminate May 1, is delaying con
siderable work. Bat no matter what the issue
may be a large number of buildings will be put
up this year. The demand for small houses is
so great that their construction Is an imper
ative necessity. I do not look for any diminu
tion in this class of improvements. The
shrinkage, if any, will be in large and costly
structures."
JUr. C. A. Balph. contractor. First avenue and
Grant street, spoke hopefully of tho situation,
and thought all obstrnctions would be cleared
away by tbe time the season fairly opens. He
added: "We have just finished tbe power
house and car barn for the Pittsbnrg and Bir
mingham Traction Company at Thirtieth and
Carsou streets, and arc putting the final touches
to the car barn of the Duquesne Traction Com
pany, at the corner of Craig aud Neville streets.
We are also building a warehouse and offices
for Bovaird fc Seyfang on Second avenue, be
tween Ross and Try streets. We have just
completed a handsome residence for Thomas
D. Todd, of Eisner A Phillips, on Trent street.
Thirteenth ward. We have considerable work
on hand, but It is not in shape to be particular
ized." The most important of Jlr. Balph's recent
achievements in tbe building lino is tbe
Masonic block on Fifth avenue.
Mr. Charles Andrews, builder on the South
side, was accosted and asked for his opinion.
He replied: "It is too early in the season to
attempt a correct estimate of building opera
tions for tbe year Very few plans are ready.
I think the labor trouble will be settled. It is
not deep-seated, in my opinion. I think as
many small houses will be put up this year as
there were in 1S90."
The inquiry inio the condition of the build
ing trades and the outlook for the year has
fairly established the following facts: That
strong hopes are entertained of tbe amicable
settlement of the labor tiouble; that while own
ers ai e slow they have abandoned none of their
projects; that improvement will go forward ir
respective of the issues; that nearly all engaged
111 this line havo more, or less work on band,
and that if there be a shrinkage it will not be
in small houses, but in large and costly ones.
Will Make No Change.
Some time ago The Dispatch, in mention
ing the fact that part of tbe Husscy building
on Fifth avenue will be occupied after April 1
by Messrs. J. R. Heuricks Co., tbe music
dealers, gave rise to the impression that Messrs.
G. B. Barrett & Co., who have for years past
carried on their wholesale jewelry business,
occupying the upper floors of this building, are
to give up their location. Sucb, however, is
not the case, as Mr, Barrett bas simply relin
quished the first story and basement, which
Henricks 4 Co. will occupy, Mr. Barrett having
secured from Dr. Hussey, tbe owner of the
building, a long continuation of his lease on the
secocO. third and fourth floors. Mr. Barrett's
business, therefore, will be in no way affected
bv the incoming of Messrs. J. R. Henricks
Co.

Considerable Trading In Electric, but Prices
TVenker No Special Change In tho
Conditions Philadelphia Gas
and Pipeage Score Gains.
Stock trading was dull in the East yesterday,
with a few exceptions. Easy money has so far
failed to stimulate speculation in Wall street
to the expected pitch. Reduced earnings of
tho railroads and the unsettled condition of
labor have had a depressing effect upon prices,
and operators do not care to take hold until
they see some sign's of a reversal of conditions.
People interested in Electric had no cause
yesterday to chango" their position. Friends of
tbe stock expressed confidence that Mr. West
inghouse, upon his arrival hero to-morrow,
would.be prepared to make a statement which
would satisry the public and set all disparaging
reports at rest. Others were less hopeful, and
expressed the opinion that another extension
would bo called tor. These views offset each
othr, but they had a bearish effect upon the
stock.
News from Boston was not of a reassuring
character, showing dullness and weakness, but
nothing was received from that point throwing
any light on Mr. Westiughouse's movements.
There were a number of orders here to be filled,
and ibis swelled tbe volume of transactions to
respectable proportions, sales footing tin 620
shares. The first transaction was at 12i fol
lowed by an advance to 12K- It m still
stronger at the second call, going at 12. but
dropping back to 12J. Bearish telegrams from
the Ease received during the thiid call caused 1
reaction and the price dropped to 11 and
finally to 11, from which it recovered a triflo
and finished atlljbid.
Philadelphia Gas scored the greatest gain of
tho day. One firm was well provided with buy
ing orders, and in placing them boosted the
price up to 13, which was the final bid. Pipe
age was stronger in sympathy with its parent,
advancing from 8 bid at the opening to 9 at
the close. Luster and Citizens' Traction closed
with a small fraction to their credit, but Switch
and Signal went off a trifle.
Tho improvcmtut in business at the Ex
change has strengthened the figures for mem
berships. There was a biu of $390 for one yes
terday without response.

MONEY MARKET.
Bankers Report an Easy Condition and a
Fair Business.
Money was easy yesterday, with a fair line of
discounts on tbe basis of 67 per cent. Depos
iting showed up well, denoting continued activ
ity in general trade. Clearing House exchanges
were 52,166.070 5), and balances $391,842 47.
Local financiers are still disposed to adhere
to the conservative policy for which they
are noted: One of them said yesterday:
"I am not . altogether satisfied with tbe
appearance of things. Tbe labor agitation
may mean much or Utile. If it were out of the
way there would be immediate expansion of
business. But with this menace banging over
us, I do not believe in pushing things. It is
safe to wait for results. This will help bring
things around all right."
Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy, ranging from 2 to 4 per cent, last loan at
3, closed offered at 2. Pnrae mercantile pa
per 5g6. Sterling Exchange quiet and steady
at $4 15 for 60-day bills and $4 8S for demand.

NEW YOBK STOCKS.
The Market Takes an Active Streak and
Most Shares Score an Advance A
Reaction at Midday More
Than Recovered
Later Ou.
New York, Feb. 26. The stock market to
day showed a distinct improvement in both its
temper and its activity. It broadened out im
perceptibly, although the dealings still retained
their almost purely professional character, and
its animation was still confined to a few of tbe
leading shares, to that extent remaining nar
row. There was, however, undoubted support
in many stocks from inside sources, among
which may be mentioned the Gould stocks and
St. Paul. The feeling on the latter is improv
ing, while there Is a bearish sentiment on the
corn roads, the late earnings or tho St Paul
being specially powerful factors In the creation
of this feeling.
The traders bavo lately imbibed an idea that
the boll leaders would permit some decline in
tbe market in order to induce buying and bring
some activity to the list, and to-day there was
considerable selling upon that theory, but it met
with a demand which was sufficient not only to
prevent any decline, bat also to force advances
all over the list. Tbe high prices attained by a
few of the specialties brought out some stock,
and the realizations of profits in those shares
encouraged selling of other stocks for the short
account; but all offerings were absorbed, and
the attacks were quickly given up, giving the
market an irregular and spasmodic appearance
throughout the day.
Contrary to the general expectation, there
was a Arm opening under the support given,
and white bear efforts forced a slight decline in
the early dealings, a sharp upward movement
in Pacific Mall, induced by the increased likeli
hood of tbe passage of the shipping bills,
changed the temper again, and Union Pacific,
the Sugar stocks and toalesser extent Burling
ton and Atchison, scored material advances.
Tbe realizations on these advances again
knocked prices off toward 2 P. it., when all the
leaders lost the greater portion of the improve
ment, and such specialties as tbe Susquehanna
and Western Stocks scored heavy losses. Tho
afternoon, however, brought a reaction, and
again prices were brought up 'to the oest
of the day, Sr. Paul and tbe coal stocks being
most prominent in the upward movement.
There were free realizations In tho last hour,
especially In St. Paul, but Pacific Mail took
another jump at the time, and the bestprices
of the day were well held to the end.
Tbe trading in the Industrials was marked
by the first' sales of the new H. B. Claflin
stocks. The market finally closed dull but
firm at or near tbe highest figures. The im
portant advances comprise Jersey Central, 1;
Pacific Mail. 1; Reading, lj; Onion Pacific
and New Sugar, each 1, anu National Cord
age preferred, 1. while Susquehanna and
n estern preferred lost 2 per cent. ,
Railroad bonds were again quiet, but in
close sympathy with shares displayed a firm
tone without scoring any material improve
ment in any portion of the list. The business
done was well and widely distributed, although
the number of issues traded in did not equal
those of a few months ago. The total sales
reached $1,069,000, out of which the Mobile and
Ohio 4s contributed $140,000, and tbe Richmond
and West Point 5s $105,000.

Thursday. Feb. 26. f
Country Trodnce Jobbln-r Prices.
Tho egg market bas been bigher in Pittsburg
this week than any other place in tbe land.
At Cincinnati and St. Louis the top of the mar
ket has been 13 to 14c for a day or two past, and
at Baltimore eggs are quoted at 15c At New
York there is a 16c market and at Chicago a
15c market. Here they are scarce and active
at 17c per dozen. Doubtless the high waters
have had something to do with high prices, as
many of our sources of supply have been cut

The movement in this department of trade is
more active this week than last. After long
quiet it is hoped and believed tbat a better day
has dawned. Sugars have passed a day with
out an advance, and probabilities are that
future changes will be in the other direction.
Canned goods have failod to come up to ex
pectations of jobbers the past winter. Prices
passed beyond the average consumer's ability,
and the amount used has been much less than
in the average Season. All canned fruits are

A Bulge In Wheat on Sensational Reports
of Damage to the French Croji
Some of tho Gain Lost Pro
visions Dull.
CHICAGO Tbe continued reports of damage
to the French wheat crop and the cold weather
were the influences nnder which May wheat in
Chicago closed c.higher than on the day be
fore. The price started with a jump of He over
Wedneday's closing price, 9CKc being bid for
May. There were some sales at that price, but
it soon advanced to 96c, and was up to 97c
inside of the first 15 minutes' trading. At the
end of the following 15 minutes it was back
again to 96c
For an nonr or so the fluctuations were be
tween 97c and STJc, but on the receipt of some
ratbersensatlonal French cable dispatches there
was a sudden bnlgo about 11 o'clock to 97c
Another dull and weak inell succeeded, lasting
to within half an bour'of the close, during
whicn the price sagged to 96c, but did not re
main longat over iic below 97c
The damage toahe French wheat crop, re
reiving, as it does, a stronger confirmation
daily, is becoming a powerful factor' in favor of
the bulls many of whom are convinced that a
greater calamity has stricken tbe French wheat
growers than the American winter wheat
farmers suffered from last yr.
There was an advance to 97c for May wheat
about 12:50 o'clock, and by 1 v. M. it was down
again to 96c Ibe most of tre early selling
was against calls, the opening price having been
very close to tbe price at which the most of
thee privileges havo been sold. On the several
advances which took place the Duyers who bad
wheat bought at below 97c sold it out and the
present position of the market appears to be
that the parties to each side of tbe deal have
made their bets and are unwilling to increase
their amount furthertban in scalpingventnres,
which are not allowed to run beyond iiz
profit or loss.
Corn was in the bands of a small clique of
bulllsbly inclined traders, who advanced the
price -for May to 6Je, but the closing figures
werc55Cor a bigher than it closed yester
day. There was not as much excitement in tbe
pit as the very considerable range of the fluc
tuations in the price would ordinarily indicate.
May opened at 55c, nitb one or two transac
tions at 55c but the tone soon became much
more bullish, and an advance to 5656c bad
been brought about before the session had run
tbe first mdiety of its coarse. It sold back to
56c and again up to tbe highest point pre
viously touched before it finally settled down
around its final resting place. There was one
transaction in tbe course of tho day at 56c.
which is s higher than any previously re
corded rate of May corn on the present crop.
The squeeze was still on In the oats deal. The
advance to-day amounted to lKc and it estab
lished the highest price of the season, 48c for
tbe May future There is considerable short
interest, but neither scalpers nor commission
houses have oversold.
Tbe provision business was rather dnlL
There was less bidding on oats from outside
orders, and at the same time w ere not pressing
with their offerings. Tbe hog receipts wore
again liberal, numbering 41,000. and the pack
ing in the Weht for the week, as figured by the
Cincinnati Price Current, was 90,000 ahead of
the corresponalng week of the past year.
