THE ACTUAL SALES OF THE WEEK. Steel Turning the Heads of the llanufact orers Down in -Uab.mi. TI1E JIAEKETS AT AMi TRADE CtXTEKS Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, I Friday. April 21 . Eaw Ikon asd Steel Trade since our last has been reasonably pood. With ilie labor and coke questions still unsettled, many dealers .bow little disposition to Torce business. As to the future there is a wide diS.reuce of opinion. It seems, how ever, pretty evident tliat prices lor certain descriptions have about re.ic.hed the lowest point, and an improvement is not far off. Jj.ss.:.i.:r. Prices have advanced dur ing the week, with reported sales of spot at 60 cents above previous week's figures. The changes at present are not verr marked, but indications of improvement are considered pretty certain. Ikon Ou There have been no large op erations, yet buyers arc still holding off, notwithstanding ore can be purchased at 51 50(5.1 75 per ton below prices paid last year. Uuyers then evidently entered the market entirely too early. That charge will not hold good this season. The reports from the Sheua ngo and Ma honing Valleys continue favorable foriur nacemen, prices being firm , with a good deal ot Iron disposed of at prices fully up with Pitts wirg rates. A Valley f urnaceraan rematked: Trade continue;, good; csemcrp'g scarce, with an upward tendency. Grey Force in fair demand, pi ices tending higher, hems fully as liigh as Pittsburg. All required to boom the J alleys is loiter coke and freight rates." I.an Iron Stocks Declining. The stock of raw iron on hand seems to be steadily declining. Tbero are only a limited number of city furnaces In blast, and owners leem indifferent about starting up others. They are probably waiting to see what tho eight-hour strike, announced for the 1st of May. w ill brine about. If all branches of busi ness are losuspepd.theie will not be much iron Ttquired to meet the current demand. N rw stfel.

Xcxt to nuthing is doing right now in the placing of new orders, and f mnaces are running mostly on contracts al ready made 1 hu-, in spite of the lull, stocks are not accumulating, a condition that will soon come o pass, however, unless Inquiries increase. Furnace men do not anticipate ant such break in the market as will interfere with continued profitable operation. On the con. irary. they expect to see a rally before lone and all the furnaces are ruuningon full tunc with everjthintr in shape for a heavy produc tion during tue summer. Quotations are shaded off 2oc from last w eek and arc as folio w, i. . t. at the furnaces: KoundrvNo. 1 ..S12 50 Foulldrr No. 2 12 05 to 12 50 Foundry No. a 11 50 to 1175 tiray force 10 25 to 11 25 ismall lots of o. 1 are being placed as high as?12 "5. and there is no difficulty in disposing nf crav force i.i lare lo s a, J:0.

The recent incetin; of the Sheffield stockholders resulted insomechancei in i.iauaement tha will cause a vigorous effort t" operate Hi three larro lurnaccs that have Iwen nils there so long. There are sonic jBd'cationsof renewed .-.ctliitv in the Auuiston or brown ore, district, but they are slight. .Nothing 18 talked ot in this section of Ala bama now but ,steel making. Mr. T. T. Hill man has roturned from Hew York, wbero lie made a proposition to the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Hallroad Company for the erection ot a Tl.UUlUWO Plant near their four Ensley furnaces. The directors fell in with the scheme, and while some details remain to bo perfected, Mr. Hillmau. a very cautious man, announce: It will through all right and the steel mill will be built. The only effort to make steel in this district was bv the Hender son Companr. which constructed two 30-ion furnaces. The experiment tailed from want of money, and on account ot the stnallness ot the plant the furnaces are idle. Renewed attempts are being made to procure more capital and start them up azain. Some apprehensions are beginning to be felt here as lo results when the coal mining scale comes to be arranged in July next. One con tention by tho operators during the recent strike was that the scales in existence were contracts tlllJulv. and there are indications that the miners will call for an Increase when the scales aro renewed. GRADUALLY SETTLING. Manufacturers Feeling Jloro Encouraged Over the Market. FrtCTAI. TELEGBAH TO TIIS DISPATCH.: Phieadeepiiia, April 2 The improve ment in the iron market noted a week ago con tinues, and while it is far from beioz in a healthy and settled condition, the manufact urers aro gradually regaining confidence and feel more encouraced than they did at the be ginning of the present month. But for the labor troubles, which seem to be increasinc rather than diminishing, there is no doubt that much of the present general depression would be thrown off, and once this troublesome ele ment is removed a portion of the activity so marked in 1S9U will be regained. There is one point which is generally conceded, namely, operators cannot afford to pay exlstinc wages at the picsent prices they receive for their products: the former must cither be reduced, or the latter adanced. or else a lorg stoppage will be experienced the cornice summer. The pig iron market is undoubtedly in a better con dition than it was a week ago, both as to activ ity and firmness in price. Standard Pennsyl vania bianns have become liimcr and are now being quoted at SU 75J15 25, delivered, for grav foise; $16 CUffilO SO for Ho. 2 foundry; 17 50Q18 00 for No. 1; SIB. for medium Pennsylvania No. 2. Bteei rails are also held a Utile flrmer.JSJ bcinc an in side price, and S20 503I 00 for small lots de livered early. The oraers for the balance of this month and May insure the running of mills to their full capacity dnrmg tbat time, and there Is a cood inquiry for deliveries at later dates. There have been no large order fur bar iron placed as yet, but the general de mand has improve i. licst retined iron here will brine 1.7 jgl.Soc; lower figures for large orders, however, can be seemed. COKE IEADE MUCH BEITZR A 1st of the Plants in .Entire or Partial Resumption In the Kegion, 'Srr.CIAL TELKJEAM TO TUB DISPATCH.'. Ecottdale. April 21 The coke trade dis plays signs of marked improvement. Over 24,000 tons wero sent out last week, and the in dications are that that amount will bo even surpassed this week. Coke prodncers aro re gaining confidence, and more vim is noticeable in their actions. With an abundant supply of cars and plentv of motive power shipments arc hurried through to their destination. The strike continues and over 12,400 ovens aro idle in consequence, lhe active list is estimated at over 3.5U0. Big efforts are being made to fire more ovens. The Fnck Company has its Jimtown and Sterling plants lull and its Mnrcwood. Lieisetiring No. 2, Lcith, Davidson, Kyle and Adelaide plants in partial resumption. The McClure Company lias its Painter plant in partial resumption, and Coalbrook is running lull. Whitney continues in partial operation, while Cm a and Chester are full. There are no cnanges in the operations at Cochran's three plants, and Raincy and the three independents, ishenck. Percy and Hogsett, are working in full. Tho shipments last week aggregated 1,313 cars and averaged almost 224 cars a day. 'lhe iollowiug was the record of shipments: lo points west of Pittsburg, 7b4 cars; to Pittsburg and river tipples, 440 cars; to points cast pf Pittsburg, 15i cars: total, 1,313 cars. Prices are as follows, though many prodncers aro receiv ing as hijth a 43 00 per ton; f urnaco coke, il 90; foundiy, il 3J; crushed, Jl! 6a, HAS TOUCHED BOTTOM. Tho Market nt Chicago Ts xpected to Improve Before ong. tsrCCIAL TELZRUAM TO TUB DtRVATCn.1 Chicago, April 24. Rogers, Brown and Merwinsaj: Several additional sales of large s.ze were made in this market of Lake Su perior charcoal, on the basis of prices reported a week agn. It has been claimed by various parties tbat figures of 10 75. Clucago. have been made, covering deliveries during the last sir months of present year.. .Explanation, of these exceedingly low prices is that several furnaces ot this class have piled up heavy stocks, and have reached the point where thoy hau been i.liligcd to unload. A number ot the leading companies, however, have declined to mqet prices quoted, preferring to hold their ui-'tal indefinitely and take chances on better prices later in the summer. Two or three stacks have blown out already in consequence f low market, and a number if others aie cer tain to stop unless piices materially improve. Ii is eii'ent that the low figures now being named on certain brands cannot long exist, and large consumers in this district, realizing this, aie anticipating their wants and buving part ol their stock much ahead of their usual tune. Local coke irons continue active, and some good sized sales are reported In this directum Southern coki brands remain quiet and are held at unchanged prices. Tho feeling is gen eially gaining giound that the market has touched bottom as to prices and that an im provement will occur as soon as the usual spriag and summer buying becomes general. PICKING UP AT BUFFALO. Small Stocks or Pig Iii roundry Tards A Kcaclion Would lte Violent. -KITClAl. TKLEGKAM TO THE DIRPATCtT.: BcFrALO, April 21. Rogers. Brown 4 Co. sav: Although it cannot be said tbattheie has been any radical change of feeling among consumers of pig iron in this territory during the past tew days, yet there certainlv is to be seen a returning confidence. It is difScnlt to tell why this is so, but as the conditions of the market are practically unchaugod it is only fair to assume that it is due to a better outlook for trade. The general run of buying still con tinues to Pe of a hand-to-mouth character, in dicating small stocks in foundry yards. Care ful investigation connms this theory. It has been quite common ot late to find large found ncs without more than "ten days' supply of pig iron on hand, wheie formerly the same foundries carried from 500 to 1.003 tons as a re serve. This unusual action augments the stock held at the lurnace", the total of whos tonnage is supposed to show the condition of the iron trade to the cuuutrv. while siocks in the yards of thousands ot consumers are left out. It is easy to see that should any reactiou now occur, it would be ad the more violent on this account. A E0PEFUL SITUATION. Veteran Observers Itcllevo a Reaction Can not Long Re Relayed. frlrlAI. TEUGCAX TO TUB DISPATCIT.: Cincinnati, April 21. Rogers. Brown & Co. sa: There is no noticeable change in the con ditions of the market, but it is tnouglitth.it the business of foundries is slightly impreving. Agricultural w orks are very bu-y. Car w oi ks and such shops as depeud largely upon rail roads for orders are generally slack. Rollirc mills are turning out about two-thirds of their normal product. Nearly all luelters of iron expect a better business farther along in tho ea. In uricis there has been a little weakening in Southern mill Irons, but values are well main tained in foundry grades. Furnaces still ob ject to taking long forward orders on pre-ent market. butome have beeu placed during the past week. An occasional transaction is re ported where the object was to realize prompt cash lor a round lot or iron, and this has been at a concession. The Valley furnaces are not yet soliciting business, and prospects are un certain as to tbeir resumption of work. 0KLY SMALL SALES. A Lighter Consumption of Iron Than Last Tear at St. Louis. srrCIAL TnLBGKAM TO THE DIBPATCH.1 St. Louis, April 21. Rogers, Brown and Meachaui say: There is nothing new to be said this week lu regard to the market. Bnsiucsi lias been very quiet, and what saleshave been made were small and at low prices.

' TAKING HOLD AGAIN. llecent Deals in Keallj Sbow That Buyers Arc Still Aronnd. WILL KOT BE A SMOKE KDISAHCE. Pittstrarg's Superiority as a Field for Large Capital and Skill. THE FEATURES OF LOCAL SPECOLA'TION Business in real estate seems to be pick ing up. There is certainly room for im provement. Still, the lull of the past few week is due to causes so obvious as to ex cite neither surprise nor apprehension for the future. Conditions below the surface are right and the disposition to buy is cood. Obstructions in the way of business are general, not local. Pittsburg realty is sound to the core. At least three important deals have been consummated this week. One was reported yesterday. Papers in the other two will probably be passed to-day. These three sales aggregate about 90,000. They show tbat buyers are still in the market for large properties as well as small ones. A little concession on the part of owners would have a good effect. Not a Smoke Nuisance. It is denied that the new plans of the Wil kinsburg Electric Company will be "a smoke nuisance." A member of the company said yesteruaj: "Some person seems to be losing sleep and appetite for fear our central station. In course of erection, will be objectionable on account of smoke, aud he proposes to abate tho imaginary evil by erecting another similar plant in the same neighborhood. The idea of abating a thing by increasing it is something new in the line of argument, FerUaps it originated witn General Grant, who held that the proper way to effect the repeal of a bad law was to strictly enforce it and make it odious. Our plant is situated on the hue dividing the boroughs of Wllkinsbuig and Edgowood, at the junction of the Hampton coal road and the Pennsylvania Railroad. It will be furnished with the most approved machinery, including a smoke-consuming apparatus, so tnat there need be no fear ot a .smoke nuisance.' The members of the comuanvure residents of both boroughs and are personally interested in Keeping their respective towns free from this objectionable feature. The building will be a substantial brick structure, entirely fiieproof and an orna ment to the immediate neighborhood." PitUburg in the Lead. Every city possesses some points of vantage over all others. They may bo unimportant and purely local In their character, but they are sufficient to give tone aud individuality to the place. Pittsburg's superiority is many-sided and far-reaching. As a manufacturing center she has no rival in this country. Mowbere else is there so good a field for the employment of capital and tho exercise of skill. Her advan tages for creating wealth from crude material are so varied and Important as to place her al most beyond rivalry So situated and so favored, her rapiu growth ceases to be a won der. It is the most natural tiling in the world tor people to go where they can do best, lhe sale ot several manufacturing sites recently and constant applications from outsiders for business stands show that this idea has taken a Srm hold upon people in various p.rts of the country, who have come to think that there is no place like Pittsburg for making money. This sentiment should be encouraged and strengthened by local capitalists and land owners, providing enough buildings business and residence to accommodate all who want to loca.e here. Rusiness News and Gossip. The Fidelity Title and Trust Company bn'.ld ing will soon be supplied with asmoke-consuming apparatus. Tho fact that considerable of the recent rading in stocks has been on local account shows that new buyers are coming in. A broker said ytsterday that new names consti tuted the bulk of his clientage.

The active interests were Westlnghouse Elec tric, Second Avenue Electric Philadelphia Gas, People's Natural Gas and Switch and Signal. Total sales w ere 306 shares. The feeling at the opening favored higher prices, but it was not supported by results, and sentiment drifted the other way. though figures remained about the same. Philadel phia Gas closed a fraction under the opening, in which it had the company ot Electric The latter sold here at l."K and 1 closing at 13. The last sain at Boston was at 13 closing offered at 13. It was haudled very gingerly at both places. Tractions about held their own, and the miners scarcely budged. There was some talk about the meeting of stockholders of the Electric and Manufactur ing Company next Tuesday. Some were of opinion that 'the long-Ionked-for statement of Mr. Westinghouse would be made at tbat time, as a duty he owed lo the stockholders. It was also hinted that a new deal in the management would be made, but as the company permits no news of this kind to escape, nothing definite can be said on this point. It is an old story anyhow. Considerable dissatisfaction was ex pressed with the manner in which the books were closed, cutting off transfers until next Wednesday. It was said tbat no formal notice of this was given. New York was firm at the opening, bnt weak ened toward noon on announcement that $1, OoO.OOO gold had been ordered foy shipment to day. Ihero was a rally later in the day.

Shares Teverlsh and Irregular, With Small Changes at the CIoso The Roll Strength Similar to That in 1879 Two Strong Features. New York, April 21 The stock market was feverish and Irregular in Its movements throughout the day, and the final outcome of the day's business Is generally on small changes in either direction. The restraining influence was the further engagement of over $1,600,000 gold at the Sub-Treasilry for shipmont to Europe to-morrow, which checked a most promising upward movement in full play. Tbe bullish feeling is almost entirely based upon the excellent outlook for the cereal crops for the coming season, however, and other Influences of an adverse nature receive little attention except for a short lime: and while they usually give the bears and sold out bulls a chance to get back tbe stocks sold at lower prices, the real buying is not permanently checked. The arrival of Mr. Gould was expected to give the market a Hit, but outside of the unusual strength shown for a timo in Wabash prefened there was nothing to show that either he or his friends wero specially active in the market. London was a moderate seller In the earlv trading, especially of St. Paul and Northern Pacific preferred, but tho latter stock recovered with the remainder of the list, and later in the day displayed even more strength than the general list. The West sent liberal buying orders, and London became a buyer afte.' the brst selling movement had culminated, which was specially noticeable in St. Paul, Noithern Pacific preferred. Sugar and Rock Islaud. Sugar was rather weak all the dav, and was the only 0110 of the Industrials to tako a prominent piace in tbe dealings though the others were inclined to follow It in temper and remained drnopin? all day long. St. Paul and Northern Pacific were the special features of tho day, tho trading in tbe former being extremely large and the contest in it specially well maintained on both sides. Tho market gradually outgrew tho effects of the gold shipments, however, and while tbe general list was not specially active or strong several stocks, made material advances. Promi nent among these were Lackawanna, Ontario and Western and Northern' Pacific preferred. Notwithstanding that the bears attacked the list at everv opportunity, the bulls maintained the ascendency, and it was a subject of remark that the market assumed tho same appearance as it bad in lb79, when prices advanced from 50 to 73 per cent. The fact is that the bulls have been gaining recruits daily, and the volume of business is now so large that the attacks ot the bears on some stocks have little effect upon the general list. The market developed marked strength in the last hour, and again prices wero lifted ma terially, and finally closed at a shade, under the bct price", but strong and active Railroad bonds were again cmderative active and Cisplaved the same moderately strong tone as usual of la. hnt while there was great ac tivity In the Oregon Improvement 5's and the Atchison incomes, with a wide distribution of the remainder of the business dune, there were few material changes in quotations, though they were all in tbe direction of higher prices. The sales of all Issues reached $1,821,000. The following tabic shows tne prices of active stocks on the .New York SUM Exchange yester day.

Eggs are a shade higher and very firm. A large proportion of the arrivals in this line is gathered in by storage companies. The tariff, which keeps out Canada eggs, has, no doubt, had its intended -effect of keeping up price of home stock this season. There Is a great scarcity of choice creamery butter in this mar ket, and prices are firm. Receipts of new cheese are so light that prices are hardly quota ble. Old Ohio cheese. Is about done. There is still a fair supply of old New York cheese and markets are firm at outside quotations. Poul try is In better supply than it has been for a few weeks past and prices are easier. Spring chickens are selling at $6 to $6 50 per dozen, and tbeir dimensions make them expensive eating at these prices. The quality of Southern vege tables coming to our market of late ts generally low grade. Cabbage is very inferior as a rule.

W lieat Unsettled, Nervous and Flnctnatlne; Sharply A Successful Bear Raid on Corn Oats Lower Provisions Open Firm, hat Become Weaker. CHICAGO The Wheat market was unsettled and nervous to-day, and was subject to fre quent and sharp fluctuations Uncertainty as to the situation out of conflicting cables made operators cautious. Tbe nee result of the day's tradings was a loss in value of about lc in the July option, ljc in April and May. July, the ruling option, opened at $1 09l 10, against $1 1G31 10V, at tbe close yesterday, and soon touched 1 09 A bear syndicate, which attempted to break prices, was brongbt npwlth a round turn. While the syndicate did not come to grief, it nevertheless was frightened enough to lie still for sometime. After going to 1 09. July rallied quickly to $1 10!4. but was loaded with a large lot of prop erty put out, and the market broke to $1 C9K." At the last the bears plucked up courage for another raid, and tbeir sales broke tbe price to $1 09. Toward tbe close, July rallied to $1 Id on cables reporting higher Berlin markets, and on a dispatch saying Roumania would prohibit exports of maize because of depleted stocks there. Just before the close, there was another lireilc, and the market closed easy a: $1 09 1 08K- A successful raid was started in corn. July was broken from 670 down to 66c, but was tuned up to 66c on liberal purchases. There was free selling of long oats, which caused a break of AVnZ. Prices hardened a little later In tbe day, but were JiQJc lower at the close. The opening in the provision market was rather firm on the reported firmness of hog3 at the stock yards, but speedily weakened on fr-e selling, and. afterfluctuatlncfrequentlvwithin a moderati- range, closed with a loss of 1517c for pork, 25e for lard and 2c for ribs.

Home Vegetables to the Front Egs and Creamery Hotter Firm. Home raised vegetables, which were delayed several weeks on acconnt of backward spring; are now coming in freely and the tendency ol prices is downward. Southern vegetables have been arriving of late in'bad shape, owing to warm weather and long travel. Commission merchants report tbas large quantities of cabbage coming from Florida and tbe Carolinas are little good. Strawberries are in the same plight. Weather and long travel have very much depreciated the valne of goods In the line of dairy products the situation Is practically tbe same as it was a week ago. There has been a great scarcity of cholcs creamery butter all the past week, but as sup ply of country butter is in excess of demand, creamery, though firm, is tbe same in price as last Saturday. Eggs are fully 2 cents higher per dozen than tbey were a week ago. Tha signs are tbat eggs have touched their lowest point for this season. Large quantities have been stored the past week or two In tbe faith of better ptices later on. Poultry is a shade easier than it was a week ago. Spring chickens are a luxury beyond tbe ordinary purse. At the fish stalls, trade is reported good and supply now up to demand, which has not been tbe case for months past. Tho first brook trout of the sea son were on the stalls this week and sold promptly at 75 cents per pound. In floral lines, prices are tending downward, for tbe good rea son that nut-door flowers are now coming la freely. Florists report a good demand ana ac tive trade lor their products at tbe reduced prices.
