SPTXTAt, TILZOTtAM TO TEI DISPATCH.!
Nriw YoitK, April 16. The condition of
the iron and steel markets is thus reported
by the Iron Age:
American pic The market continues quiet,
although this is not a matter of surprise to pro
ducers, who Know tliat Generally the dullest
time ot the year is the first quarter, during

road which bae been holding off for some
time past Im e been torccd to enter the market
lu order to procure the material for spring rf
paits. There have been a good many contra
dictory rumors concerning the purchase of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company We have it
on good authority tint its purchase amounts
to 51,000 tons, distributed among the mills
aiong me line oi its roan. The coin
pan bad previously ordered at different
times for rep dr work an aggregate ot about
tl.OCO tons. Further orders must be placed
later on. The Eno Company bare bought
4.OC0 tons for Immediate delivery, and have an
option for 6.000 tons more, which will be placed
assoon as icports of division superintendents
are in. The New York Central have bought
for the Rome. Watcrtnwn and Ogiiensnnrg
D.tiOOtons. which, w ith a oni chase of 12,000 ton"
nmlc last winter, leaves oulv a part ot their re
quirements coveted. Tne New York. Ffbl
ience and Boston line have taken 1,500 tons.
1.000 tons have been purchased for immediate
delitervfor export to Mexico and some minor
rales and additions to former purchases foot up
to about 2. oou tons.
It is reported, too, that the Lehigh Vallev,
widen had alreadv placed close upon 18 0J0 tons.
Had increased its order to 25,000 tons, aud that
the -Mohawk and Northern, which it is insisted
Is not a connection of the New York Central,
bd added 5.0U0 tons to its previous purchase.
There has. therefore, been a good deal of
aty vity, the most striking feature being that
ibemajomy of orders are for early shipments,
thus showing that tho railroads have been
holding off to the last moment. The Discing of
the Pennsjlvania order is generally the signal
for buying on the part of manv other line, and
this movement may, therefore, be looked for
ward to now. e undei estimated the quantity
of rails thus far purchased in a recent issue.
The official report shows that up to March 1 the
mills had booked for 1891 delivery 418.477 tons
of standard rails, of which Western mills took
about 225.000 tons.
FOREIGN METAL MAEKST.
Rnying Orders Have Been .More rientlful
the P.ist Week.
-CrVCIAI. TJCLEGRAJf TO TUB DXSPATOR.
.New- York, April 1G. The Iron Age
thus reports the foreign metal market:
In London Sscntnh warrants have been dnll
since early in tbe week, when quite heavy sales
were made for bear account and some holdings
closed out. Buying orders have been more
plentiful the past few days, attracted doubtless
by scarcity of irou and the regularity
with which stocks are decreasing. Latest
sties were at 42s lid for Scotch, 3Sss
for Cleveland and 47s 6d for heinatiti.
Pig tin prices improved ear) in the week un
der the influence of American demand. Sub
sequently a reduction took place upon this de
mand being satisfied, but the market has again
hardened, with tome increase in outside spec
ulation. In some quarters it is feared that
Eastern production has been or will be in
creased. Copper ruled firmer on reports from
America, but afterward receded, owing chiefly
to the fact that some or the bulls exchanged
cash warrants into three months futures, ren
dering the suppl of the latter abundant. Lat
terly the beving had impioved with the effect
of stiffening prices, aud holders express confi
dence in tbe future.
The tin plate market has been firmer, but
quiet. Buyers seem to have manv orders in
band, but are waiting for easier prices. Makers
threaten to consign plates to the United btates
on their own account unless buying orders are
forthcoming soon at fair prices, btocks at
thipping points amount to 521,000 boxes, against
S3S.OU0 boxes at tbe corresponding period last
year Last month's shipments were 47,000 tons
of which SS.CO0 went to the United States. Shin'
menu in March last ear were 26.000 boxes and
17,000 boxes respectively. A Mnke is threat
ened in the Scotch steel trade. The workmen
of the steel company refuse to accept the pro
posed reduction of 5 per cent in wages.

THE MARKET IMPROVED.
An Increased Amount or Coke Shipped
From the Region The Western Miip
menU Something Phenomenal Abont
2,000 Active Oiens in Operation Ship
ments for the Week.
-f TKCIAL TELECltAM TO THE DISPATCH.:
Scottdalk. April 16. The coke market is
improving rapidly, despite tbe strike. Last
week over 15 000 tons of coko weie shipped
from the reclon, and the amount will
be almost doubled this week, if the ratio of
gain continues. Many of the operators are
disposed to take a far more hopeful view of
the situation than they did a fortnight since.
The demand, although still tnnch depressed bv
the idleness of so many furnace', is stiffening
up. and a notable increase has occurred within
tho last few days. The increase iu Western
shipments was almost phenomenal, and there is
well-grounded opinion that foiiner confidence
In the market will soon be restored.
Pittsburg and Lasternshipnionts also showed
up comparatively well. According to the
statements of operators, there are 19 plants out
ot M in the district in active operation and nine
m part. Of tins number tue Fennsville. Alt,
Bradiiock and Percy plants are working under
an arrangement with the labor organization,
while tbe others are not. There are about
2.000 active ovens, w bile tbe idle list will reacu
probabl ia,5oa The vigorous movement in
augurated by the operators for a general re
suuption is adding ovens to the active list al
most daily. The Calumet Company made a
btart at the,r Calumet plant or 22o oven-.
The McUure Company hae 92 ovens fired at
Fainter and 7u at Coalbrook. Raiuey's four
I.lauts are stil! in full onemtion while Frick has
Adelaide, Jinitown and (sterling in full, aud a
number in part. The Cora plant of 42 ovens
3nd the Chester plant of 23, ate ruuuing to their
capacity. Shipments last weflK ateraged 141
cars per day as agaiust 113 cars of
the previous week. The total increase
wasl6cais. The following was the record of
consignments: To point west of Pittsburg,
b56 cars: to Pittsburg and river tipples. 05 cars:
to points east of Pittsburg, 125 cats: total. 846.
This is the record for the week befoie: To

MARKETS BY WIEE.
Bean Have a Field Day In All Throe Grain
Market The Heavy Tendency of
Provisions Overcome In Sympa
thyMay Furores Excited.
CHICAGO The bulls had everything their
own way in the wheat ana corn pits to-day, and
these cereali, at the: top figures of tbe session,
which were prac ically the closing pricei, scored
advances of 2JaC and SJc respectively, and
when the bell tapped at the. close there was so
mach steam on that it was impossible to put a
stop to trading in the wheat crowd until a fur
ther advance of c had taken place. Nearly
all the day was favorable to higher prices. Tno
most important piece of intelligence was tbe
delayed report of Sraditreet't, dne yesterday,
on the visible supply of wheat East and West
of the Rocky Mountains. It show ed a decrease
during the week east of the Rockies of 1,360.
000 bushels and west of those mountains of
6US.G0O bushels.
At $1 0G8 tbcie was some rather heavy selling
by St. Louis parties, and the price sagged off to
SI 06, but the bull ferer was on. and a quick
rally to $1 07 followed. In tbo meantime July,
which opened at $1 04". advanced to SI 0
reacted to Jl 04. and jumped to SI 05J. A re
act on can led jiay down toil 06 and July to
SI 04 Then came news tbat me shorts in
Milwaukee were being squeezed, with the
result ot a sensational advance in price of May
luiuru, ami mis. locmcr wm too auvauuioK
price in corn here, caused May to bound to
$107, which was the closing price, with July at
SI Ob. But.before the excited operators could
be silenced by the gong. May was selling at
SI OiiJi and July at SI 07J.
Corn was wildly excited and higher, the com
bined effects ot light receipts, light stocks, a
heavy demand for the cash article and frantic
coveting b shorts in the May future, which
was relatiiely stronger than Jul. May ad
vanced from 70c at the opening to 72Jc. wjth
many wide and sudden fluctuations, jumps of
leper bushel witnoutany trading uaving oc
curred more than once during the dav. The
demand for cash corn was so urgent that No. 3
sold as high as 74c, and even No. 4 brought
7:'c The highest prices paid on the present
crop weri made during the day, aud the close
wat, within 5c of the top flgnre.
Oats were active aud excited in sympathy
with coin and wheat, and scored an advance of
about Icent. Ihis is rather surprising, in view
of the larg quantity of long oats that has re
cently been put ou ine market.
Provisions were rather inclined to dullness
and weakness at the opening, but the strength
in tbe grain pits was sufficient to overcome this
tetide'icv. Pork closed at an advance of 30c,
lard lUm?SAc, and ribs 1517Kc
The leading futures ranged as lollows. as cor
rected by John M. Oakley &. Co., 45 Sixth street,

Industrial Securities Looking Up.
While the market for railroad shares has not.
yet recovered from the slump of last fall,
caused by tbe disturbed condition of the money,
market, industrial securities seem to be in
high favor, not only with speculative interests,
but with investor as well. Since January 1,
1S91, the public offerings of shares and securi
ties in corporations formed to take over com
mercial or manufacturing interests have
amounted to some $7,000,000. while the total
capitalization represented by tbe concerns in
question Is well up to $15,000,000 in amount.
This, too, includes only 'the amounts of such
securities offered in tbe New York market.and
excludes all which have not been presented
through the auspices of banking interests of
position and reputation. It is altogether prob
able tbat within a short time nut only will the
volume of industrial securities be greatly in
creased, but their position aud activity in tbe
share markets will become one of great import

MONEY MAEKET.
Plenty of Cash, in Reserve for Emergencies
Improvement Slow bnt Lasting.
The banks would like a heavier line of dis
counts than they are favored with, since money
continues to accumulate on account of heavy
depositing and indisposition of business men
to branch out pending a settlement of thelabor
trouble. But inasmuch as a surplus is an
elenienrof strength and confidence, the very
marrow ot busmets, its existence is not re
garded as a particularly bad feature. It can be
drawn upon when needed.
Routine business yesterday was fair and
checking better than for some time. 'Rates
ruled easy at 67 per cent. Currency and ex
change sold about even. Bank clearings aggre
gated $2,617,799 OL and balances io68,333 4S.
This is not much below 1890, and better than
1SS9. Improvement is slow but steady, and it
seems to have good staying qualities.
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy, ranging from 3 to 4 per cent, last loan
3, closed offered at 3. ; Prime mercantile
paper 57. Sterling exchange quiet at 4 CSV for

Impressions Made by the Switch and Signal
Statement Electric Ball but Firm
A Tloomlet In Hidalgo Other
Features of Speculation.
The matter ot most interest iu stock circles
yesterday, on 'Change as well as in the offices,
was the statement promulgated by Vice Presi
dent Goodman, of tbe Switch and Signal Com
pany. It had not been received officially by
auy of the stockholders, to far as could be
learned, and until so received its bearing upon
the stock of the corporation cannot be intelli
gently gauged.
So far as changing figures was concerned, it
had no appreciable effect yesterday. There
were buying orders around 9 and 9, but ao
transactions worth naming. It closed at the
top ot the day. There was a bearish undertone,
however, showing tbat tbe document was not
altogether satisfactory. It was thought by
many to cast suspicion upon dividends for some
time to come,
Tbe event of tbe day was tbe sale of two big
blocks of Hidalgo mining stock.tbe first move
ment ot tbe kind in recent times. On this lit
tle boom tbe stock advanced to 3, with 3Ji
asked at tbe close. Tbe buyer was said to be a
member of tbe company, wbicb, if correct,
minimizes the transaction as a speculative
feature. Luster Improved its position, and the
rest of this gronp was steady.
There was scarcely any movement in Elec
tric either here or in Boston, prices at both
points being too close together forscalping. It
closed here a fraction better than the opening,
with no pressure to buy or soil. Nothing new
transpired in regard to 'Air. Westlnghouse's
negotiations. It was stated tbe company bad
plenty of orders, but the work was retarded for
want of readv money. Anent this tbe Boston
Herald of Tnesday remarked: "One-fonrth
ier cent was bid to-da7 to call Westingbouse
Electric stock at 17 within 60 days. There was
no news to explain tbo buoyancy of tbe shares
in the market, bntsome stale gossip about Mr.
Westinghouse having got the needed money
was in circulation."
Citizens' Traction was stronger, bbt the other
street railways remained featureless. Phila
delphia Gas lei go a little. Considerable effort
was made to market bank stocks and a choice
selection of local bonds, "but buyers wanted
concessions, wbicb were not granted. Sales
were:
First call 50 Hidsleo" Mining at ,2, 10
Philadelphia Gas at 1
After call lO.Electrlc at 13.
Second call 2 Switch and Signal at 10, 10
Philadelphia Gas at 13.
Third call 100 Electric at 1 10 at 13, 100

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Tho Share Market Narrowed Practically to
the Grangers, Sonthvresterns, Industrials
and Yillards Lackawanna Beclines
Sliarply Railroad Bonds Less Ac-
tive.
New York, April 16. The stock market to
day was more' narrow than those of the last
week or two, but displayed great strength in
spot', while in others it was unaccountably
weak, while the general list followed tbe lead
ers at a distance, remained within narrow
limits, and showed insignificant fluctuations.
Ibe market has become narrowed down to the
Grangers, South westerns. Industrials and Yill
ards. and the selling in tbe last-named was sun-
1 demented to-day by severe pressure for a time
tbizing only slightly in the resultant decline.
Beyond the recovery of early losses tbe up
ward movements of the day were unimportant
in all stocks, except a few of the leaders in the
buying. The general list, however, was com
paratively neglected throughout the entiie
day and developed no special. feature of inter
est. A strong opening was followed by a
reaction on the advance of tbe Bank of Eng
land rate, wbicb, however, brought prices only
slight fractions below those of tbe opening, and
before the end of tbe first hour they were
again on tbe upward move, though until late In
the atternoon the progress was slow.
The drive at Lackawanna occurred after 11
o'clock, and 1 per cent, was knocked off of its
value, while tne rest of tho list was advancing.
St, Pau, Atchison and Sugar scored material
trains and were joined later bv Rock Island and
Turlington, while Northern Pacific, which has
been tbe weak spot In tbe market for a long
time, rallied sharply aud rose 1 percent, from
its lowest figure. Tbe market gave no indica
tion uf weakening at any time during tbe rest
of the day, and finally closed quiet but firm to
strong at or near the best prices. The great
majority of the active stocks are fractionally
higher to-night, while St. Paul is up 1J: North
western, Vsi, and Rock Island 1 per cent.; but
some are 1 jner, and Lackau-nna lost 1 percent.
Railroad bonds were less active and displayed
the usual lack of feature, fluctuating within
narrow limits and sharing only slightly in the
temper of tbe share list. The total sales were
only $894,006. There was no marked tendency
in prices.

"and Atcbtsen, was secretly arrested by the Fed
eral authorities .yesterday, brought before
United States Commissioner Hoyne and held
in 55,000 bail for bis f nture appearance.
The reason for- keeping the arrest secret is
that the warrants are out for the arrest of two
of Mr. Howells' brothers. One of them lives
Lin Atchison and the other in Omaha. It is
8aldTliat evidence is in possession ot the Inter
state commerce commission, which will prove
that Mr. Howells has systematically bribed

points to record false shipping weights. The
weightnasters in question will be arrested and
proceeded against under tbe inter-State com
merce law.

Country ProduceJobblng Prices.
Tbe Chicago market for eggs Is 12c and
Pittsburg and New York outside quotations
are 14c. Markets here are relatively higher
than they aro both East and West. Large
quantities are going into storage of late, as the
feeling ot dealers is tbat bottom has been
reached. Some dealers, however, are strong in
the fa th of still lower prices. Receipts at New
York yesterday were mure than double the late
daily average, the total being 16,000 packages.
Choice creamery butter Is steady at quotations
and country rolls are weak. There is little new
cheese coming to market of any account, and
the old Is practically cleaned up for tins season.
The first new Ohio cheese will not be due until
next week. Alleged new cbeese from Wiscon
sin is offered, but buyers are naturally cbary of
the product. In tropical frulrlines, lemons are
tbe firm factor. The advance in lemons lately
announced Is fully sustained, and prospects are
good for still further advances at an early day.
