IRON TEADE REVIEW,
So Very rrornisinj: Features Devel
oped During the Past Week.
RESULTS OF THE COKE TROUBLE.
Unchanged Prices and a Scarcity of Orders
in the South.
EEPOETS FROM THE LEADING CEKTEES
The past week has developed no new feat
ures in iron and steel lines certainly no
very promising disclosures. For the past
mouth or two one week has been about the
same as another. Manufacturers of finished
products stocked up well before the coke
troubles began, and are so far able to secure
all the raw iron needed. Most of the fur
naces of the city control their own coke
products to a great extent, and are therefore
able to keep running in spite of the troubles In
the Conncllsnllo region.
The nail trade is still quiet, and it is difficult
to see where there can be any profit to the
manufacturer at quotations.
There hare been sales at the factories of late
as low as $1 03 per ken;. The steel rail situa
tion is unchanged. The Edgar Thomson rail
mill has of late been repaired and enlarged,
and it as announced by the powers that be,
early in the week, that work would be resumed
on Monday. March 23. and wonld be pushed
right alone to the utmost the balance ot the
J ear.
Since this announcement it has been given
out that the rail mill would not start np for a
month or more to come. As a result of this an
nouncement steel workers of Braddock are not
at all comfortable over the situation.
Of the nine furnaces at the Edgar Thomson
Works at least rive will run slow ly until the
coke troubles are adjusted. The demand for
much bar has been slow the past week, and
prices are a shade lower, as quotations will dis-clos-e.
Blooms and billets are quiet and un
changed. The same is true of strnctnral iron.

AT A STATIOITAEY POINT.
Nothing to Warrant an Advance or a De
cline at Philadelphia,
rFFECIAI. irtlOIUM TO IDS DISPATCR.1
rnn.ADEL.pniA. March 2a The condition
ot the iron business continues very unsatis
factory, and there are no indications of an
ra Iv improvement. While the Western re
pnrts are discouraging, matters in the Sonth
i ok a little brighter. The local market presents
no change, and no new featuro can be found
" any department of the trade, nor do we
iok tor any for some time to come.
here is nothing to warrant just
nov either an advance or decline, and the J
-nances may be said to be about equal. There
is no question that the output has been largely
uruiied. and that consumption is si ill large,
out whether these facts will increase prices de
pends almost wholly upon the settlement of
the col.e stilke. If earl)-, a reduction is oou
tidently expected, and thelonger the settlement
is delayed just so much brighter grow the pros
pects for an advance.
Prices are abouttbe same as last week for
tug m n, and muck bars arc wobbling around
S2t 50cJ27 delivered. Business is gradually im
proving in steel rails, and prices hold firm at
$30 at the mills. Steel billets are dull and are
quoted at Z2S 2529 delivered. Bar iron is
steady at LTo-JU.toc for best refined, but the
demand has nut increased. Skelp iron Is quiet
ai 1 7ir for groot ed and LS5c for sheared. In
tua.es the business shows a little or no change,
either in prices or demand.
0EDEBS HOT SO BRISK,
But Prices Practically Unchanged Through
out the Birmingham DUtrlcr.
Birmingham, Ala., March 20. The prices
of iron are practically unchanged. Orders,
however, are not so brisk as they had been and
furnacemen are Jess confident of high prices.
Furnaces are well sold np and the product is
disposed of without having to shade market
quotations which are I, o. b. the cars at the
f ' mace as follows:

complete repairs and Won in, and one ot these
will piuliahh be ready next week.

the strike parahzed operations. The demand
for their product continues light.
NO ADVANCE LIKELY

'TrcTAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATC1T.1
ivruncATi, March 20. Rogers, Brown 4
Co say. The past week has been devoid of
auj feature of especial interest. The heavy
reductions of stocks of coke irons and the con
t nuance of the coke strike, do not cause any
advances. The reports from'Pittsburg regard
ing finished product are not ot an encouraging
nature aud bujers of raw materials are very
c .nscrvative. There is no pressure to sell
b' utliern iron, but consumers find uo difficulty
li getting a mpply. The furuaces continue
hrro in their views, but a further advance is
hardly to be lookca for unless the railroads and
other large purchasers come into the markets.

tSrEClAI. TELEGnAM TO THE DISrATCH.l
t IIICAGO, March 21 Rogers, Brown 4 Mer
win say: Business in Chicago continues to
run mainly In the way of carloads and small
lots, consumers, with some few exceptions,
preferring to simply cover their immediate re
quirements and take their chances on a luwer
market later in the spring. There has been no
change of prices In coke irons, both Northern
and bouthern being firmly held by the respec
tive fnrnaces on the basis of values recently
established. The coke situation in the Con
nellsville district is being watched with special
Interest by all large users of pig metal, as they
believe that this is one of the most important
factors which will bave effect en prices.
Less hardship has been caused in this dhv
tnct by the strike than was at first expected,
a large amount of West Virginia coke having
been chipped in and used by those who ordi
narily can confine themselves to shipments
from the Connellsville region.

Petersvllle Belmont's Great Decline

Fields.
ItrECTAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DIRrATCIt.
Butlee, March 20. Joseph fiartman &
Son have struck a gusher ou the Byerly
heirs' farm, Jefiicrsou Center. Their No. 11
was flowing 400 barrels per day yesterday,
bnt this evening is yielding 1,500 barrels
daily. This great increase is due to five
minutes' drilling. When drilled in. 100 barrels
an hour will probably be the result. The
Messrs. Hartman have 100 acres surrounding
these wells. The property is probably the most
valuable in Butler county, owing to the won
derful staying qualities of this territory.
Butler county, like other sections of the oil
regions is othcrw.se very quiet There is not
another point where there is any interest to
speak of, and the way it looked- previously,
unless something soon turned up, Butler connty
would bd relegated to the rear ranks. The 100
foot territory is declining very rapidly. tnd it
seemed as if the bottom bad dropped out of
this locality. The oil well supply business is
beginning to feel the decline in production and
the curtailment of new work. Within the past
two or three monthson Little and Big creeks,
the production has fallen off nearly 75,000 bar
rels a month.
The latest news from Jefferson Center is that
F. W. Phillips has completed practically a dry
bole on the George Fisher farm. This result
was a great surprise, as the well is only a short
distance north of bis gusher, and demonstrates
the fact that the terntdrj is treacherous. Mr.
Phillips' Hn. 2 Swaney is in the sand, and is
looking for a welL It is two bits in and has
made several small flows.
Several Good-Wells at Petersvllle,
Pexkksville In this locality some fair
wells are being completed. On the Zeno
market farm Black, Rciber A Co. are tubing
their new well, which is showing for a 40 or 50
barrel pumper. On the B. M. Duncan farm
Purviance & Co. are in the sand, with good
prospects for a nice producer. This well is a
short distance in advance of the other wells on
this farm.
Root A Co. had the bad lnck to lose a bit In
the sand, but the chances of getting it out soon
are good. Reiber Co., on the Rice farm, are
still drilling, but the indications for a well are not
by any means hrst-class. Down in the region of
Bull Creek the Cbartiers Oil Company's No. 3,
on the R. Jack farm, has been completed and
good for 15 or 20 barrel". Joe MUIlson 4 Co.'s
2o. 6, on the W. Jack farm, is In the sand and
filled up 1,000 feet with oil. It will make a good
well.
At Amberson station the pumping well
owned by Campnell A .Sickles caught bre yes
terday morning, and the derrick and engine
house were burned to the ground. The Forest
Oil Comnan v scored a very light pumper on the
Adam Dambach farm, while the Hundred Foot
Oil Comuany has just completed another of the
same caliber.
A Quick Transformation at Belmont,
Belmont The transformation at Belmont
Is most wonderful. Only a few short months
ago this place presented a scene of activity
equaled only by Pithole and Cherry Grove.
Then there was a great rush for terri
tory, aud some very handsome prices
were paid for leases. The field had a
boom for a short time. Some big wells
were struck; tbc drill was rushed tor
all that was out, and prosper!"? seemed to
dawn upon the new oil eldorado. But, alas,
thincs have changed. The reaction basset in,
and one who visited the place in its palmy day
would hardly now recognize It. The wells
have declined, the territory has Deen drained,
aud some who were sailing high have had their
colors lowered. '
It is questionable whether the average oper
ator made any money here. There are, per
hans. three or lour who have come out ahead.
but I could name many whose prospects looked
bright that have come out at the little end of
the horn.
Aero s the river from Belmont, in the Buck
eye State, there is a likelihood of some fair
territory being opened up in the Archie Forks
district. The two dusters recently found at St.
Mary's has not added to the reputation of this
defunct pool.
Operations Dull at Clarion.
Clarion Clarion county's operations are
very slim. In fact there is but very little avail
able territory to drill, and those who own this
will not operate it at the present price of oik
Charley Leeper Jc Co. bave an idea that there
is mcch oil in the neighborhood of Leener's
mills, and contemplate drilling a few test wells
this summer. Tnis firm owns a large tract of
land, and have drilled several dry wildcat ven
ture". At Shlnpenville a little work is being done.
John Im in shot his well on the, Herman Iser
man farm, hoping to make a producer of it,
but it was a failure, as was the Oak Shade Oil
Company's nell on the Baker farm. The un
favorable result of these two wells bad a ten
dency to curtail the drllL On the Day farm.
Smith A Co. are still fishitig for two strings of
tools. Jo Mi irwm has a well on the Black
farm due the latter part of this week.
The Prospects In West Virginia.
Mocndsvili-e, W. Va. The outlobk in
West Virginia at the southwest at this
writing Is rather gloomy. In the vicinity of
Monndsvillc a number of wells bavo been
drilled with Indifferent success. Notably may
be mentioned the well drilled by the McCal
mont Oil Company on the Kountz farm, on
Middle Green creek, so-called as, a test for the.
lower Sand. A strong flow of salt water was
encountered in the hnndrod-foot, which de
lated operations for some time. Deeper drill
ing gave no favorable results, as no sand was
found, and at this writing the venture is aban
doned another among the class of unprofit
able ventures of the efforts of the oil men to
find an outlet to the South h est.
From reliable Information I am Informed
tbat a party has secured control of the Uicke
well, Cralg &. Co.. who propose to renovate that
well and place it iu line as a producer. In the
Manningtnn field there will be much new work
In progress, as soon as roads become passable.
The recent rains have retarded work very
much, but with a few fair daj s there will be
considerable stir In this field. Many believe it
to be the coming Mecca as an oil producing
center.
Big OU Deal at Warren.
Wakeen, Pa. An extensive oil deal is
being accomplished by the forming of the
Crew Levick Company, composed of the Muir
Oil Company, the Glade Filtering Works, the
Reid3lsperger Brothers, of Warren, and several
gentlemen of Philadelphia, embracing an im
mense amount of capital and production. The
new company owns about 450 well of Tiona oil.
and their refineries will have a capacity of 1,500
barrels dally, at the two Glade refineries, the
Muir Oil Company and a large refinery at
Chester.
Protesting; Against an OU Bill.
CALLEBY At; Callery there is no particular
change in the Situation, and Steelsmith & Co.
have finally got their No. 1 Crawford cleaned
out and pumping. It will make a fair pumper.
The producers of the one hundred-foot field
have at last been aroused from their letharirv.
and are making a determined effort against
thepassjsc of House bill Ko. 53. They con
sider that this bill is an outrage, and if passed
will seriously cripple the industry.
The Belt Theory Demonstrated.
IIcCukdy The McCurdy field Is featureless
to-day, and, so far as developed, no belt theory
has been demonstrated. One of the leading
operators said to-day that they are all at sea as
to any belt in this field. The Riddle No. 1,
Scott No. 2 and the Dougherty have all been
drilled through the sand. The Riddle is good
for 25 barrels a day: bcott No. 2 is rated at ISO
barrels a day, and the Dougherty at 75 barrels
a day.
Still Quiet at Wildwood. ,
WlLDWOOD Nothing ot importance has
takcu place here to-day. Griffith No. 10,
Whitcscll, is doing 12 harrelsjan hour, and No.
11 is in live sand, but will not be drilled in for a
day or so. Their No. 5, Smith farm, is reported
as doing 20 barrets an hour to-night McC

SOME BUSY PLACES,
Mansfield Electric Light Company
Almost Ready for Business.
ACTIVITY IN THE BUILDING LINE.
A Big Jump in Boss Street Property in Less
Than Two Tears' Time.
ACREAGE PICKED TJP AT EMSW0RTH
The large building for the Mansfield
Electric Xight Company's plant at Hans
field is completed and the machinery is be
ing put in. Poles are up on the Main streets
and wires are being strung. Light will be
turned on In a short time. It is the purpose
of the company to supply light to the bor
oughs and citizens of Mansfield and Char
tiers, and to surrounding towns, including
Idlewood and Crafton. There will be busy
times among the builders in nil these places
as soon as spring opens. H. J. Vemer has
closed contracts for eight he a at Crafton.
Other contractors have about as many orders
on their books as they can well attend to.
A Deal at Emsworth.
An
important sale of acreage was
con
summated at Fmnsworth yesterday. 'C. Ber-
inger, of C Beringer & Son, sold aSO-acre tract,
known as Riverview Park, to the Pittsburg
Land Association for tSO.000. This is one of the
finest locations Iu that handsome village,having
a magnificent view of both river and surround
ing country. Most of the members expect to
build, and others will, no doubt, realize a hand
some profit on their investment, as one If not
two electric roads will run through the prop
erties in the near fnture.Mr. Beringer has over
60 acres lef r, which he will shortly put on the
market, either in lots or by the acre.
A Jump In Boss Street Values.
While property value's In and about Pitts
burg, as a general thing, hold steady oradvance
slowly, instances are not wanting of radical
departures from the rule. Here is an illustra
tion: Something over a year ago the property
of the Bakewell heirs, consisting of a lot 160x81,
with eight fairly good'brick dwellings on Ross
street, running from Water to First avenue,
was sold to Elrio K. Clark, foracconntof a
well-known banker, for $15,000. It was sup
posed the purchase was in the interest of the
Pittsburg Locomotive Works for shops and
offices, but this was an error. A short
time ago the property again changed
ownership at 52.000, showing an
advance of 7,000, or about 15 per cent, in a
little over ayear. The purchase was made by
Mr. John M. Kennedy, presumably for George
Denniston. who, it is understood, will sooner
or later, demolish the old buildings' and erect
a large warehouse, corresponding in size and
elegance to that on the opposite side of the
street, owned and occupied by Wilson, Snyder
fc Co. This "jump" Is a pretty big one lor a
backward part of the city, and it will give qnite
a forward impulse to that neighborhood, es
pecially when taken In connection with several
important improvements, besides the one men
tioned, that are under consideration.
Overcoming Difficulties.
The building trades have bad unnsual difficul
ties to contend with so far this year, prolonged
bad weather being one of them. This has
greatly embarrassed, and in many cases sus
pended, all work on fonndations and walls.
The season is so far advanced that a change for
the better cannot be long deferred. Contracts
in the nands of architects and builders insure
active business with the .coming of settled
weather. There is plenty of time left to equal
or break last year's record.
Hardwood Floors.
Dealers in carpets will not be .pleased to learn
that they are likely to be less generally used in
tbe future than in the past A prominent
builder yesterday told how this Is being brong t
about. He said: "With the use of hardwood
floors, carpets are passing out of extensive use,
and rugs, which may be easily taken up, are
taking their place. Occasionally rooms must
be whitened and papered, but this Is a simple
matter, and proposes no such household panic
as the lifting of carpets amid clouds of dust.
Paint or hard woodwork, which is kept system
atically and easily clean, needs no going over,
yca-ly or scmM early, except in case of re
painting or re-oiling.
Business News and Gossip.
Bnilding is active' in spite of the weather.
People must be housed. They won't live out of
doors.
The large warehouse of Bovalrd & Seyfang,
on Second avenue, above Ross street, will be
finished in about a month.
Arbnthnot, Stephenson Co. expect to occu
py their new building on Penn avenne early in
July. Work on the interior is being pushed
as fast as possible.
A large manufacturing site on tbe Northslde
will fall Into the bands of a local concern in a
short tlm-. Over $100,000 is involved.
Several pieces of business property In the
neighborhood of Ross street and First avenue
are labeled "for sale." Movements in that lo
cality are stimnlated by several projected im
provements of importance.
There is talk of a dividend on Second Avenue
Electric in April at the rate of 6 per cent.
Mes-rs. Tressel & Tener have removed to No.
92 FourHi avenue, over the banking house of
W. R. Thompson it Co.
The Building Record.
The following permits for the erection of new
buildings were issued yesterday:
William M. Conway, frame two-story dwell
ing, 23x46 feet, on Bedford avenue, Thirteenth
ward. Cost, H0O0.
Frank H. Speer, brick three-story dwelling,
22 feet 5 iuches by 49 feet, on McPherson street.
Twenty-first ward. Cost, KJ,600.
Movements In Reality.
S. A. Dickie & Co. sold for Mrs. M. J.
Kemerer a lot on Frankstown avenue. Brush
ton, 40x143 feet, for $900.
Reed 15. Coyle & Co. sold to Mrs. Catherine
Burns lorNo. 17 In the second plan of Marion
place. Twenty-third ward, being 25x113 feet,
more or less, Sylvan avenue, for $500.
James W. Drape & Co. sold a bouse and lot
In Allegheny for $17,500: also an interest in a
business property in the city ot $20,000; also
closed the sale and delivered the papers of a
suburban property of $17,000.
M0HET MABKET.
The Elements Again Get the Better
Business Other Bearish Factors.
Local money borrowers made few calls
of
on
the banks yesterday, and got what they wanted
with few questions aked. Clearing House ex-
changes were 11,804,974 72. and balances $482,
738 14.
Weather and outside news were alike un
favorable to business. Stocks were dull and
weak. The failure of the Keystbne National
Bank, of Philadelphia, caused some comment
and was a bearish factor. Being one of the
weakest in the city, the effect of the suspen
sion will be small and local. It is thought no
Pittsburg Interest is involved.

The Bottom' Drops Out of Business Nearly
Everything Weak, as "Well as Slow '
la Norla the One Bright Spot
.Luster and Electric.
But little business was transacted in local
stocks yesterday. The market was slow and
weak all day, in sympathy with tbe feeling
East. The Philadelphia bank failure added to
the depression, tho'ugh regarded as of no local
significance. Total sales were cat down to 115
shares. ,
Electric was weaken the absence of Boston
lymph. It sagged from tbe start, and closed
a good fraction below the opening. Nothing
was known up to the close of tbe last call as
to Mr. Westingbouse's purpose in regard to
another extension of time, but no one seemed
to doubt that something would be announced
in a few days. There was a small trade in
Philadelphia Gas at a concessiou from tbe
oneninl nrlrn.
An attempt was made to hold a meeting of
Luster stockholders, but the President of the
company nut his foot on it because tbe ma
jority of stock was not represented. The meet
ing to-uay win tackle some tougn suuiecis, aim
in some degree determine the future ot the
stock. It as slightly weaker yesterday,
though there was no" pressure to sell.
Switch and Signal developed a downward
tendency. There were no bids for it at the
last call. Nothing was said about payment of
interest. La Nona was the ouly strong feature
of the market. It was bid up to 85 cents with
out sale.-. It was offered at 50.
The following communication is self-explanatory:
A statement has obtained some cur
rency that the Allegheny County Light Com
pany intended to go further into debt. Let me
say that such is not the' case. The company
has. in fact, reduced its indebtedness aDout
JOO.OOO since last November, and is reducing it
right along."

London and Chicago Cut a Figure In the
Usually Dull Share Market The Mar
ket Turns Upon Gold Ship
ment, Which Continues.
New Yokk, March 20. The movement in the
stock market this morning turned upon the
further orders for gold for export made, and
the immediate effect is to intensify tbe weak
ness which has been developed in the market
by tbe prolonged dullness. There is yet noth
ing of general interest in the market, the deal
ings of any note whatever being confined to
specialties, and to-day selling was for Chicago
and London account, with special pressure
upon the stocks sold by those' Interests by tbe
traders.
On the street there is very little positive
opinion as to the future course of the market,
but it is agreed tbat while the selling for Lon
don account continues there is very little like
lihood of an advance, and especially when such
selling is supplemented by exports of gold.
On the other hand, there is no disposition
among those who hold tbe bulk of the stocks to
sell under the present conditions, and there is
very little apprehension that the dullness will
even be followed by the usual slump before an
advance comes. Although one thing after an
other has prevented tbe expected upward
movement, there is still a popular sentiment
that there must come an unward movement
I during the spring, and at present the only ag
gressive Dear interest is tne room traaers, with
some help from the Chicago shorts,
Tbe trading of tbe day, therefore, presented
the same dullness as usual of late, though the
announcement of the first application for gold
for export made considerable animation dur
ing the first hour; at declining figures. The
selling movement soon culminated, and while
there was no recovery the cessation of the
pressure quickly demonstrated where tbe sell
ing originated. The attack on Chicago Qas on
the quo warranto proeerdings in Chicago re
sulted in a fractional loss only, and tbe pres
sure upon Burlington failed to do more. Dis
tillers and Cattle Feeders' Company, which sold
ex-dividend, retired 11 bat afterward re
covered most of the. loss; and Kome, Water
town and Ozdcnsburg, after retiring from 153
to 132, rallied to 134 at the close, a net gain
for the day of 3J per cent. The payment of
tbe portion of .the direct tax to New York en
couraged the late buving, as tbo money is
already in the bank and will go to swell the re
sources of the banks.
Railroad bonds were dull, and while gen
erally heavy, show very few material changes
and some advances. There was no active Issue,
and the total of $831,000 for the day was very
evenly distributed.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
It is difficult, to keep pace with tbe upward
movement of the egg markets It was generally
thought by dealers that top had been reached
yesterday whep prices reached 22c per dozen in
job lots. Bat to-day markets are very firm at
25c per dozen, and at this price it is impossible
to fill orders. From present outlook, Easter
eggs will be higher than tor many years. Re
tailers who sold at 20c yesterday are sorry since'
they have had to replace stock at 25cper dozen.
While efgs are up, creamery butter is down,
and one will about offset tbe other in the line
. of household expenses. Thero is an active de
mand for potatoes, and tendency ot markets is
upward. Good stock cannot now belaid down

cutting on rates. Sugar prices 'are merely

MARKETS BY WIEE.
Wheat Opens Weak, bnt Improves and
Closes Strong Bearish Influences A
Bulge In Corn and Oats Provis
ions Finish at an Advance.
CHICAGO Tbe wheat market was quite
weak, and J4Jic lower at the opening, but s
higher at the close and strong. Attthe start
ctbles were easier, and the bears were offering
the May option at 51 00SI OOJjai 00 in dif
ferent parts of the pit as the bell tapped for
the opening. There were numerous buyers at
those prices, and when the bears perceived
they were being outnumbered, the price shot
up Instantly to 31 01.- Tbe course of the market
following upon the opening slump was for tbe
most part upward, and that in the face of con
siderable bear talk, and many Items of news
which ordinarily would have caused the mar
ket to sell off. V
Tbe snpport given to prices came mainly from
the reported movement of cash wheat at out
side points. Dulnth reported abont 100.000
bushels loading on cars, and New York con
firmed the talftng of the ten boatloads reported
as being worked there yesterday. St. Louis
confirmed tbe 200.000 bushels sold there yes
terday and showed 95.000 bnshels to have been
shipped. The Atlantic clearances were liberal
of wheat -and flour. On the-other band, the
Minneapolis and Dnluth receipts were 405 cars
compared with 251 cars one year ago. Then the
failure of the Keystone Bank, of Philadelphia,
and the exports of gold were taken into ac
count. The chief bear influence, however, was
the ,easier toae of the European markets.
There wasan undercurrent at the opening that
Europe wonld take much more wheat, and
that tbe crop here will be shorter than the fig
ures indicated. Tbe price of May hung around
SI 011 01K during tbe greater part of tbe
dav. reaching once to SI OlJi. and again off to
51 01. but shooting up again, reaching 51 02
in the course of an active half hour's trading
at tbe end.
Corn shorts were completely unnerved and
badly squeezed. May in the end advanced ex
citedlr to 65c and closed at 66c bid compared
with 6c yesterday. There was an easy spot
in tbe market just at tbe opening, but it was
onlymomenetary. The weather wa still favora
ble to holders, beingdamp and tending to lower
the grade of corn still in first hands It was re-
Sorted that 160,000 bnshels of the corn In store
ere was under orders for immediate shipment
bv rail, and tbe bulls evidently meant to press
their advantage. Tbe clearances from the Atlan
tic were libcraland New Orleans shipped 117,000
bushels It was estimated that the receipts for
tbe week of contract corn would only amount
to eight carloads. It was difficult to find corn
for sale, and accordingly prices advanced with
spasmodic jumps
Oats were active and greatly excited at times
closing strong near the top price of tbe day.
Considerable weakness was noted early, caused
by free selling of May by Patten Brothers and
Fowler. The price, winch was 53c at the open
ing, declined to 62c Fowler then commenced
bidding Julv up, presumably to make a market
to sell un. The shorts took light, forcing May
to 54c
Tbe provision market was easy and lower at
the opening and ruled heavy and tending down
ward until near tbe end of the session, when
the sensational jump In tbe prices of corn
alarmed tbe shorts and caused a sudden ad
vance. Cudaby was a free Beller of pork and a
bnyer of ribs early In the day. W. G. McCor
mick A. Co. sold about 1.000,000 pounds of ribs
Tbe Anglo-American Company were buyers of
lard.
The leading futures ranged as miiows. as cor

THE SUNDAY LIBHEB.
Eggs Bigher and Butter Lower Price of
Easter Dinners.
In the lice ot market basket materials tbs
featnre of tbe week past has been the advance
in eggs and drop in butter. The one offsets the
other as to cost of Sunday dinners Ten days
ago eggs were selling at 17c per dozen in a job
bing way, and now they are firm at 2425c,
with very few in the market. The untimely
cold weather of late has caused bens to lose
their grip. One thing is certain, namely, tbat
the supply of heu fruit is of late far below de
mand. Tbe boom in creamery butter noted a
week ago became top-heavy, and prices have
dropped 5S6c per pound since last Saturday.
The top of the market at Elgin on Monday was
30c per pound. Quality of strawberries com
ing in from Florida the past week has improved,
and as a result markets are stroug at higher
prices.
Retail dealers In garden stuff report an im
proved trade this week over last. Florists also
report a good week. Our quotations are ad
vanced in floral lines in view of the Easter
festival. '1 be week ahead Is ever tbe best of
tbe year in demand for flowers. It is rare that
supply is up to demand during Easter week.
Following are latest retail prices of market
