New York, April 2. The Iron Age re
ports the condition of the iron aud steel
markets as follows:
Practically in every single department of the
local iron trade the complaint of sellers Is that
business is duller than it has been for years
past. Only a few take a very hopeful ticw of
tuo immediate future, even the most sanguine
naming the late summer or early fall as the
period when tire lnevnalile rush of orders is to
come. Confidence cannot be lestored In a day
or in a month, and it will onlv be after a rising
tendency in securities has been established that
the general public will take hold of the thou
sand and one enterprises which mut bounder
May to keep our iron and steel consumption to
its 'normal height.
American pic The majority of sellers report
a ver dull market. Founders will take onlv
whattney absolutely need for early wants, and
when that is cm ered do not take the slightest
interest in anv lurthor offerings They seem
ginerallv convinced that the future can brine
ihom onlv advantage-, home sellers stubbornly
adhere 10 what the bold to bo bottom pnc.

ganese has not only ecured the Interior mar
kets, but is also cprning farther East than ever
before.
1 illets and rods Very little has been done in
domestic material in this market, but we note
tales of foreign basic rods for re-wxpnrr at 43,
auu of foreign basic billets at (31 7SS32 00.
Steel rails The market is exceedingly flat,
the onlv sales of am magnitude made by East
ern mills being one lot of 8,000 tons fora Georgia
road and one lot of 13 000 tons for the Mohawk
and Northern. The latter is ot particular
interest, because there is Included in the order
an experimental lot which is to come up to the
unusual specification of 0 0 carbon and 0.OS
phiisDhnru'', J2 extra being paid therefor.
The Vanderbilt roads have usually been
pirtial to a somewhat harder rail than
the majority of railroad men prefer, but in this
case thev arc going even further in the direc
tion indicated. Ar one time the majority of
railroad men specified 0.35 cirbon as the maxi
mum. In the market buyers are holding off.
and some occupy a position of some hostility to
the rail interest. They have evidently been
tliarplr disappointed that the prospect of $16
and 27 rails was not realized. Such a feeling
has some bearing on the market, since it will
clto support to a bodv of purchasing only from
band to mouth. We quote J30 75Q31 at tide
water. Manufactured iron and steel The local
architectural demand keeps up quite well, and
the outlonk is promising, thus giving a mod
erate amount of bu-iuess to local mills and
merchants. Hut prices are low and compe
tition is keen. From Boston come complaints
nf inability to meet the competition of foreign
beams, which are selling inn eat 2L62.7c for
bemiau. Onlv one lot of 500 tons of German
beams has thus far sold in this market, 'Ilie

FrFClAl. TELEGKAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Xntr Yokk, April 2. The foreign metal
markets are thus reported by the lion Age: In
London the transactions in pig iron warrants
bare Deen on a limited scale. Tha Iast6r holi
days bate served to check operations in some
degree, but it is apparent that outside interest
is extremely tame, and that the general situa
tion Is devoid of incentive to action apart from
cautious venturing on "short account. Prices
are considered low. but the supply of warrants
on sale is comparatively large, and the blowing
in oi additional Scotch furnaces, along with
'unfavorable accounts fiom Middleboro and
the hematite sections, has a rather depressing
influence.
There are at present S7 Scoth furnaces blow
ing in. that promise to soon neutralize the late
s'cady depletion of stock. Cleveland iron
masters, owing to the poor condition of busi
ness are endeavoring to lirinir about a re
duction of 12 per cent in workmens wages, and
several furnices are damping in consequence
of unremuncratne business.

Kulsc in AVIieal Prices Kept Down
by IIcay Selling Corn fcteady
and Oats Excited.
CHICAGO A heavy demand for cash wheat
and the state ot affairs abroad shown by the
tone of the cablegrams, which plainlj indicated
serious apprehensions regarding supplies
tpreadmg in England, made it easy to advance
the unce in spite of the determined efforts of
roan heavy sellers to prevent it. May wheat
opened firm at 1 01i andclosed strong at SI 05
b.d. or about 1c impiovement on the price cur
rent at the corresponding time yesterday. Corn
was steady to firm in sjmpathy with wheat and
gained ?c Provisions after a weak etart,
braced np and closed firm t the best prices of
the day.
While the foreign news was mainly responsi
ble lor the advance in wheat, local influences
also made loi higher prices. The state of the
weather was disauieung to shorts, and those
of them who trade on the principle ot submit
ting to only small losses were the principal
buers. IromSl 04) May quickly shot up to
SI Gti. but not with neavj selling orders at the
latter price, aud fell back slowly to SI 04J.
The trading was only brisk in spots and tlie
ftui'tuatinns for a long tune were confined
within comnaratiiely narrow limits, the ligures
alreadv quoted uarking the extremes during
the first kalf of the session.
Hull news was crowding in over the wires,
but cverv bulge was met by heavy offerings
from the bear contingent. The taking of con
siderable lines of spring and winter wheat from
stoe here, to go East by rail so close to the
opening of lake navigation, was the cause of a
lu- ther desire to bu on the part of the shorts.
Tbeie was an advance on this to SI 03, and the
reaction from that point did not carry the
price below $1 01J and that was followed by
another bulge and a Jump to $1 05. New
York reported 12 boatloads of wheat worked
for Lisbon, Minneapolis millers were bid Is
advance on patents. The closing cables report
ed lterlin lower for wheat Intures by from c
to lc per bushel. London was Sd to 4d per
buskel higher. Paris advanced 10 centimes on
wheat and 5 centimes on flour.
The damp weathr and light receipts were
favorable to holders oi corn, but prices were
maintained with difficulty early in the day
owing to an apparent willingness to sell on the
part of siineof the firms who were identified
with the bull clique during the previous heavy
advance. Tlie opening for May was CSc and it
declined to iuic and advanced again, striking
fcc for a moment.
Considerable excitement was occasioned in
oats by a dispatch trora Frank Ryan, of St.
Louis, to W. G. MrUormick. It reported a
corner and an advance in Mav from 53c to 5Sr,
3c of which was subsequently lost. The market
attracted a large aticnoance of traders and
was excited, but not particularly active. May
started at 54Jc. or ;hC bove je'lerdaj's clos
ing, and sold to o3c hardening to 55c on the
strength of the above mentioned dispatch. It
roaned to oHicimz recoveied and closed firm
IJ-Jc tiigher .u o.c. A blizzard which was re
port. 1 to be raging in Nebraska helped the
advanc.
The provision market immediately at the
start was favoring lower prices but after a
momentary drop there was a sudden bulge fol
lowed by another weak spell and that in tarn
by an aovance which left the prices at about
their best as the market came to a close. May
york closed 60 higher than it did yesterday;
I nlw were practicallv unchanged at the close

CAN SITE HER HUSBAND.
A Chicago Husband Must Pay Ills Spouse
Damages for Slander.
Chicaoo. April 2.-Juage Altgeld was to-day
presented with a point in law never before
raised in this State The question came up on
the point whether a wife can maintain a civil
suit for damages against her husband. The
Court, in unmlstakeable language, decided in
favor of the wife. The decision grew out of
the suit of Marv F. Williams against her hus
band. Aaron Williams for 29,000 damages for
slander. They were married in 1SSS; but living
unhappily, separated after a few months, the
wife being given some property to live upon,
and she in turn released all claim on Mr. Will
iams After the separation, however, Mrs.
Williams claimed her husband had circulated
scandalous stories about her. and on these
statements she began Her slander suit.
To-dav the case cane before Judge Altgeld
upon a demurrer of the wife's attorney. Will
iams' contention was that action could only be
maintained by a wife against her husband
hen her property rights were involved. The
lawyers read decisions from other State courts
wberein it was held that a wife could maintain
a snlt for civil damages against her husband
for his beating ber. Judge Altgeld sustained
the wife's demurrer. "The idea is monstrous
that a man can pound his wife to a jcllvand
yet not be held liable for damages in a civil ac
tion brought by her." he said; '-and I cannot
listen to any snch reasoning by any court, no
matter how high. The demurrer is sustained."

THE NEEDS OF TRADE
Beginning to fie i.ecitgnized in the
Dpwn-Town Districts.
THE OLD STKOCIURES MUST GO.
Comfort and Thrift Characteristic of All
the Oatlyingr Districts.
FEATURES OF LOCAL SPECULATION
Pittsburg is great among the cities, but
there is room for improvement. She is by
no means finished and fenced in. She is
bulging out in all directions One by one
the outlying districts are falling into her
arms Brnddock and Sewickley mark her
eastern and western limits The interven
ing territory is thickly settled. Commerce
and manufacture keeo pace with the growth of
population.
The new districts are well laid out, as a rule,
and present the pleasing aspect of cheery
homes and handsome grounds Comfort and
thrift are impressed upon all their surround
ings It has been the subiect of frequent re
mark that the suburbs of Pittsburg are unsur
passed for natural beauty. Art has added to
their attractiveness. Rapid transit has over
come the objection of distance from tho main
business quarter. There is no spot in America
that offeis Euperior attractions to home
scekers The growth of tho suburbs in the last few
years has been almost phcnomenaL Less than
20 years ago Millvale and Shadyside were "m
the countrj;'1 now they are in the heart of tho
city. Tlie tide of population has surged far
beyond them. Then building lots were sold for
a song and chromos thrown in; now they are
held at from 550 to 150 a foot front, and are
going off like hot cakes at that. All classes of
neople are represented among the buyers. It
is the ambition of almost every citizen to es
tablish a homo in the suburbs.
It was stated at the outset that there was
"room for Improvement." This refers to the
older quarters ef the city, where the demands of
business for largerand better accomodationsare
becoming more urgent everv year. Tho majority
of buildings on the older streets have fulfilled
their mil slon and should be replaced by modern
structures
Of couree this cannot be done at once. There
are difficulties in the way in the nature of
leases and grades that must be removed before
the work of tearing down and rebuilding can
become general. But this does not make the
necessity any the less urgent. This work must
be done before Pittsburg cau assume her
proper rank among the great commercial cities
ot the country. This will take time, but it is a
matter nf such supreme importance that it
should be kept before the people All great
reforms and improvements are brought on by
agitation.
The numerous transfers of property In the
business quarter of the city within the last
year or two show that the importance of mak
ing better provision for business is beginning
to be recognized. Nearly all the buyers are
men of means, and hare or will improve their
holdings by erecting such buildings as the
times demand. There Is scarcely a downtown
street of any importance that has not some
thing to show in the wav of betterment. Ex
ample is contagious. The hardest work is to
break the ice Now that the first step has
been taken it is easy to believe that the good
work will go on without material interruption
until all the antiquated and inefficient struct
ures that impede business and mar the appear
ance of the city shall be replaced by ware
houses and stores of modem design and suffi
cient capacity to meet all demands that may be
made upon them.

Longest Period of Stagnation In the Oil Pit
on Record.
Yesterday was another off day in the oil pit
So far this week thero has not been a single
trade on the local board. This is the longest
period of inactivity on record.
Figures were merely nominal. The opening
and lowest wasTTc A little pressure fiom
the East caused an advance to 73c at which
the market finished.
A movement is on foot for withdrawing from
the conference of exchanges and changing the
manner of trading in oil so that regular will
mean "delivered to-morrow," Instead uf seller's
option the succeeding month. An attempt was
made yesterday to fix the date for a meeting to
consider the matter, but it was defeated for
want oi a quorum. It will be brought up to

were 79.534: average shipments 07,053; average

ing Influences Boston Closed
Street and Ofilco Talk.
There was no enthusiasm among stock
brokers or speculators yesterday, and all the
calls were tame Total sales were 95 shares
furnished by Electric and Charticrs Gas
Prices underwent no material change.
Of the Wcstingliouse group. Electric and
Philadelphia Gas held their own, while Switch
and Signal scored an advance on reports that
the directory trouble had been settled and that
the company was again in good shape with
orders coming in quite liberally. Boston was
closed on account of the holiday and no stimu
lus came from that quarter, but there were
enough local orders to sustain the market. Cen
tral Traction closed a good fraction better than
the opening., Chartiers Gas was offered down
to 7, and Manufacturers' to 215.
There was no unusually bad news but all the
influences were depre-slug. Trading ip the
East was slow and values weak. Uno patients
complained of the weather and sighed for tho
good old timpa when there were sunnv daysand
balmy winds The riot was moro talked about
than stocks. The Italian complication was dis
cussed to some extent, but co one was appre
hensive that It would have any effect upon
business.

was done at the second. At the third, 10 shares
of Chartiers Gas brought 8, 15 brought 7, and

tfEW YORK STOCKS.
A few Share Specialties Save the Market
From Utter Stagnation A Majority
of Small Losses at the Close
No Pressure to ScIL
New York, April 2. The stock market pre
sented no pew features to-day, but remained in
the same rut in which it has been so long, and
even less interest seemed to be taken in the
course of prices than usual of late. A tew
specialties saved the market from utter stagna
tion, among which Sugar, Manhattan, Evans
ville andTerre Haute and Peoria, Decatur and
Evansville led in the regular list. There was
no sensation upon which to make a demonstra
tion at the opening, and in the absence of any
pressure to sell stocks from any quarter the
opening figures were all higher than last night's
prices, and the market displaying a firm un
dertone, further improvement of a fractional
nature was made in the early trading.
The apathy of speculators, however, soon be
came apparent in the dwindling transactions,
and the most intense dullness marked the trad
ing after the first hour, with a slight yielding
in quotations after the rally of the past two
days The news of the day was of a mixed
character, but with no influence on prices oue
way or the other; but the rumors were worked
for all they were worth, aud these were gener
ally bearish.
The bears in the afternoon attacked the list
on the assumption that the hardening tendency
in exchange meant further exports of gold Sat
nrda, while assertions that the Gover
nor of Nebraska had signed the maxi
mum freight bill and that the Italian Minister
would sail Satuiday, were used with some ef
fect on the market. St, Paul, Rock Island and
Burlington declined nearly 1 per cent each, but
other losses were Insignificant. The strength
in Sugar, however, rallied the list in the last
hour, and while thero was no improvement of
note the market was steadied, and the close
was dull and lairly steady at about the lowest
prices of the day. The final changes are gen
erally slight losses, but Sugar is up 1, and
Mannattan 1 per cent.
Railroad bonds were dull, and as usual with
out marked tendency in either direction. The
trading reached 815,000 without special anima
tion anywhere in the list, and with a larger
number of issues traded in than for the last

In general produce lines this bag been the
best day of the week as regards volume of
trade. Potatoes are good stock at quotations.
Seed potatoes and onion sets are active and
firm at prices quoted. Other vegetables are
glow. Supply of maple syrup is in excess of
demand and markets are weak. Top price of
the best new syrup is 90c per gallon. Dressed
poultry is scarce and high. Live poultry is in
fair supply and steady. Elgin creamery butter
has been reduced 2c per pound since Monday.
The top of the market is now 30c per pound.
Country bntter is coming in more freely of
late, as many of the cheese factories are turn
ing out butter in preference to cheese because
of the high price of the former. Eggs are in
light supply and firm at quotations.

Groceries.
The movement of sugar continues very active
for the good reason that dealers were carrying
very light stocks for weeks before the drop of
the Government tax. Retailers are now able
to sell granulated at 20 pounds for 1, with a
fair profit. Coffees are scarcely as strong as
they were a few days ago.
