THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1891. YERY QUIET MARKET. No Sales of Any "Magnitude in Iron and Steel Products. COMPETITION 15 STEEL RAILS. Demoralizing Effect of a Bij Consolidation Failure. STATEOFTULFOKEIGX METAIi MARKETS f rrriAt. telkgbax to th dispatch.! Kew Yokk, March 5. The Iron Age re ports the condition of the iron market as follows: American pig The market has been quiet uurinj the week under reTiew. Some of the furnaces in Northern New York are begin ning to teel favorably the absence of compe tition from the JIahoninj: and Shenango Val les; and, so far as foundry grades are con cerned, the offerincs on the fart of the Southern furnaces are comparatively light. The proportion of these grades made by the majority of the Southern furnaces has been surprisingly small for some time past, and since this market takes very little forge iron they have not done much lately. The ex treme ranjro on Northern brands Is 8171S for No. 1, $16 UOglG 50 for o. 2 and Sllgla Tor Cray forge. Southern sells at 16 254517 50 for No. 1 foundry, $15 5016 00 for So. 2 and JH15 lnr No. 3, according to brand. Spiegeleisen and ferro manganese The mar Vet is exceedingly dull, both for 6plege!eisen, which we quote "S2s29, exship according to brand, and for ferro manganese, which is quot able. 60 50S61 00. Billets and rods The market is quiet at S27 50fi2S OOdeliTered for ordinary solt billet", and S3S O03S 50 for rods at tidewater. Foreign rods are quoted. 43 U0Q13 50. Onlj occasional lots are takeu for re-export orders. Steel rails The event of the week has been the announcement of the collapse of negotia tions for the consolidation of the Scranton Steel Company and Lackawanna Coal and Iron Coinpanj, bth of Scranton, Pa. As we under stand the immediate cause of the disagree ment, it was, that on haturda) last, u hen the papers were ready for final signature, that representatives of the scranton company asked that the understanding be reduced to writing aid that their" company be given two representatives on the board ot the new consolidated company named by tuein. The committee of the Lackawanna Company claimed that theycould not commit their stock holders to a print of that kind, since it was not a part of the original agreement, and deprived the 6tockhlders of rights. The committee ex pressed mllingncsstoacceptanytwo stockhold ers of the fccranton company upon whom both parties might agree. The rep resentatives of the Scranton com panv. lion ever, held that as minority holders, they must bo allowed to name two directors, and" that tor their protection in that right the clause must be made a part of the agreement. Such was the last and comparatively trivial cause of the suspension of the negotiations, which confessedly were to lead to a result bene ficial to both concerns, and which unquestion ably would have been of great importance to the whole eastern rail trade. We understand, however, that the negotiations during tht-r whole course brought out many points of dis agreement and hitches, which were removed only by concessions. Tbotdetails are or little general interest, but the inference seems war ranted' that there is verj little, if any. chance that the matter will be resumed. It is useless to deny that the failure to carry through the consolidation is likely to have a Tery demoralizing effect on the rail trad', hn-irp competition for business is likelv to bo the immediate outgrowth, and has i-."actal-read begun. We may note sales , about 14.000 tons ;, Eastern mills, and onoteSSSSffl -it mill. The railroads generally have held oC until now. so that the majority of the mills have ery little work on their books. It is known, however, that considerable business is In abejanc . and It is only a question what price will bring the orders out. The sucress of the Rail Makers' Association was largel con tingent upon the accomplishment of the con solidation and until the signature of all the mills is affixed winch is not now the case, tho agreement entered into provisionally, and not in forte, is valueless. .Manutactured Iron and Steel The market is ery quiet, verj iittle work of magnitude hav ing been taken during the past week.

COKE SHIPMENTS ABE AGAIN EAPLOLY ON THE DECLINE. Meanwhile the Demand Is Increasing Only Sseien Hundred Ovens Now In Operation No Itelicf Anticipated Tor the Present Furaacerneii in Bad Shape, rsrECIAI. TXLEOKAK TO THE niSPATCH.' SCOTTDAI.B, March 5 The coke trade is be coming more embarrassed. Shipments are again rapidly declining, while the demand is increasing materially, though its attending effects on the market cannot be observed owing to tho general idleness of tbe region. Ship ments for the week under review took another terrible tumble, and it seemed for awhile that een Kainey's trade was going to collapse. The indications arc that shipments may be augmented somewhat next week if Operator Dillinger, of Pennswlle, succeeds in etariinghis plant, and for which ho has announced bis de termination. The coke which is now shipped from the region is principally consigned to Yonncstown and Cleveland, where W. J. itamet's works arc located. The Eastern fur naceiuen are in bad shape, and some big shutdowns are anticipated if immediate help in the way of fuel is not rendered them. Tbe repofted reduction on freight rates tins week was gratif yingly received in the region. and, it is belieed, will assist materially in the extrication of trade from the rut. The obstinacy of the railroad firms in not granting these con cessions earlier is thought to have hastened the shutdown. The lowest shipments per day of Operator Rainc since the inauguration of tho strike nasllcirs. There are at least 700 active otens in the region and 15,400 idle.

Grent Bay In the Wheat 11 1 Heavy Tratllne and a ISulge In Prices Part of the Advance Lost Corn Also Excited. CHICAGO An enormous business was trans acted in wheat to-day. Everybod expected that 1'ardridge.tbe largest short in the market, would be a heavy buyer as soon as the board opened and they were not disappointed. His brokers were buying right and left at the out set. Before the session was a half hour old it was the popular impression that ho had bought In all of his line, which was estimated at fully 2,500,000 bushel'. lie succeeded in getting it all within a range of lc The reason of this was that many of the longs who havo been sweating on a loss for many weeks were per fectly willing to sell. Mitchell and Ilutchinson bought at the outset and sold on the rise that Tollowed. Driver let go of 400,000 bushels. Llnu of 300.000 bushels, and Bloom and Cndahy also sold a groat deal of wheat. In addition to this there was heavy selling by the large com mission firms on foreign and domestic orders. Kennett A Hopkins nnloaded over 2,000.000 bushels for scattering longs: Baldwin .tFaraam sold freely and the houses with English ac counts were sellers. Despite the free selling by foreigners the cables were almost unanimously bullish. This was so to such an extent that, taken in con nection with the selling orders, the trade con cluded that it was being "worked." The domestic news was certainly bearish. The re ceipts in bushels at the 11 leading points, Kan sas Cily not included, were 273,000 bushels against shipments of 122.000 bushels. May wheat started out at Sl,-old for a moment at Oic and then bulged speedily to 81 0 At 1 w6 and higher the offerings of wheat were enormous. The market ultimately felt their effects and broke down to 99c It rallied to M 00i.. closing cables announcing the Liver pool market was excited and d higher. At the latter price the offerings were again large, and the market got uown to 99'. There was a wild look in coin at the outset The excitement prevailing in wheat, the light ness of the local receipts and tho knowledge that there would be little selling on the bulge, caused many hulls to exert their influence in hoisting values. May started at Stic, sold to 59Xc, broke to 5SJc when Baxter tried to sell a little. &nd then improved to 5S?ic It held around 5S)c for some time. Oats sold to 00c again for Mav. but eased off tol9-8'c Provisions did not follow grain'. Receipts of hogs were again enormous, and there was no short interest to fncbten. Mav pork started at 0 70, sold to 10 0U and then off to 9 87. Most of the day's trade was around til 93. March pork opened at 9 70 and closed at the same figure.

Nearby Farm and Considerable Other Property Change Ownership. THE KBWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITT There was considerable vim in the real es tate market yesterday. Several deals were brought to a head. Two of them for ?20, 000 and 14,000 respectively, were not quite ready to report. C. Berinser & Son sold for Mrs. E. J. Nisbett tfl Julius Eichter, a farm of 101 acres ou the West Penn Rail road, near Tarentum, for 85,000, being at the rate of 850 an acre. Mr. Beringer said: "There i a better demand for farms than for two or three years past, but no material change in values. There are quite a num ber in tbe market, and offers to exchange for city property ate frequently made. These offers aro seldom accented, howover. as few city people care to engage in agriculture." t - Hos and Hominy. One of the pleasing prospects of the year is the probability that food supplies will be cheaper. A gentleman who has studied up this subject pretty thoroughly said jesterday: "Tho cost of living has been enormous this winter. Everything has been sky high, almost beyond the reach of people of small means. This was due to light crops last year. Fruits and vege tables were almost a total failure iu the coun try tributary to Pittsburg. It is too early to say much about the crops, but indications are favorable. The wheat plant is strong and health). Reports from Chicago and other Western points show a full sunply of beef cat tle and bogs. Meat should be cheaper. With plenty of other things less of it will be needed. I think tbe cold snap through which ws are passing is the salvation of the fruit and heavy crop'. It is certain tnat sugar will bo cheaner. and this will reduce the cost ot canned goods. Without an nnexnerted backset of some kind, I think people will have money to spend this year for something besides food." w Should lie Encouraged. A notable feature of tbe 'eal estate market is tbe large number of workingmcn who have Durchased or are inquiring for cheap building lots. This fact being brought to the notice of Mr. A. B. Kennedy, of J. B. Larkin 4 Co. jesterday he remarked: "This feature of tbe real estate market is not new to me. I have observed it for some time, and am glad that it is so. A large proportion of our sales are to this class of people. In many cases they pay cash, and atterward arrange for houses on time. A workingman witli a home of his own is well fixed. He is. to a certain extent, his own master. His property is a cash resen e for use in case of sickness or accident. It is not so difficult to acquire a home as many people think. The old saying. 'Where there's a will there's a way,' holds good in this case 39 in most others. Every w orkingman should make the effort. With the labor element thoroughly identified with the material interests of the city there can be nn backward movement. This disposition of the bone and sinew of tbe com munity to acquire homes should be encour aged. Our banks ought to bo very liberal to these people, since by helping tbem they will be providing grist lor their own mills." Uuslness News and Gossip. Local pension payments on Wednesday aggre gated $30,000. It will take two weeks to finish np the business, Tbe hotel syndicate is at work in a new quarter, and may accomplish something in a short time. The Fifth avenue site has been abandoned. There is money in the Wilkinsburg gas well, and it is likely to stay there. Shareholders of tbe Electria Packing and Supply Association, Limited, have voted to go into liquidation, and L. W.

Philadelphia Gas Hold Advanced Ground. Tbe feature of the stock market yesterday was the striking from the list of the Consignee Gravel and Gold Mining Company, on the ground, as alleged, that while the certificates are represented as full paid and uon-assecsable, the contrary, as a rule, is tbe case. Tho capi tal stock of tbe company is 81,000,000, and the par value of shares $10. Whether this action will prove permanent or temporary remains to be seen. If permanent, lt will be the first instance of the kind sines' tho organization of tbe Exchange. A few In terests have been suspended, but upon-comply-ing with the rules they were reinstated.

Nothing was said about the Washington countv well. Expectations of a dividend are strong. Luster broke a fraction at the last call. New York and Cleveland Gas Coal was passed on a bid of R8.

There was considerable snap in tbe oil mar ket yesterday, and on fair local buying it ad vanced from 76-i at the opening to 77JJ at the close again of a cent. About 25,000 barrels changed hands during tbe day. Trading at outside exchanges was light, but the feeling was strong all round. There was no change in refined. The bullish trend was at tributed principally to unfavorable reports from several wells of which a good deal bad been expected. McGrew, Wilson & Co.. 90 Fourth avenue, quote: Puts, 77; calls, 7979J.

NEW YORK STOCKS. Chances In Share Quotations Few, Small and Lower Burlington and Lacka wanna About the Only Sufferers News From Abroad. ! New York. March 5. The martetfor stocks to-day gave every evidence that the efforts to bring about a materially lower range of values in tbe general list had failed, and that the sellers of yesterday were industriously en deavoring to get back their short sales. There was a great deal madu of the shipment of gold, but in the face of the actual announcement this morning prices refused to yield.-The better feeling in the list was very pronounced at the opening and first prices were generally from li to s per cent better than last evening's prices. London was a moderate seller at tho open ing, and the disquieting news from abroad in duced some selling for local account, aided ny the effect of the ordering of $600,000 gold for shipmur j to Europe. The impression made upon ,. ces was very light, however, and Lon don atterward became a buyer on the renort of a satisfactory adjustment of the difficulties abroad. This checked tbe selling of all sorts. and dullness, with a nrm tone and slight fluctu ations, followed, many ot the active stocks again regaining all the earl loss. The publication of tbe statement of the net earniugs of the Burlington for the mouth of Jauuar. with its loss of 4311,000, precipitated tbe attacl: upon that stock, and it yielded 1 per cent on heavy selling. Upon tbe cessation of the pressure it rallied slightly, and became again dull, whils the remainder of the list, which had sympathized to a limited extent only, displayed the same firmness which had marked the morning transactions. The general list showed no feature through out the day, and the market finally closed dull but firm at insignificant changes from last evening's prices, though most of tbem are losses. Evenjlurlington and Lackawanna, in which tho most weakness was noticed, were only fractionally lower. Railroad bonds were dull, and like the share list, unusually featureless to-day, the total daj's bu-lness of 8887,000 developing nothing of interest beyond tbe actlvityin Nortberu Pacific 5-, which furnished $112,000 to the total. The final changes are in all cases slight and about eqmlly divided between gains and losses. iliefoiloirlue tabic snows tne prices of active stocks on the New ort Slock Evchaugc yester day.
