Haw Iron sad Steel The market since our last has undergone a decided improve ment for certain descriptions. Bessemer, for some time very dull, and selling down to low figures in fact the lowest for a long time, our report of April 3 noting sales of 4,000 tons at SIS 75: below the value of good iron has advanced $1 501 75 per ton. To-day sales are reported for prompt deliv ery at $17 50. There are, of course, differ ent opinions in regard to what caused the advance. The fact, however, is self-evident that stocks have been so reduced that it was absolutely necessary to have Bessemer with out regard to cost, or stop works. Parties interested decided to pay the advance and keep their works running. The stock of raw iron, particularly standard brands, has been steadily reduced. Certain parties owning furnaces were liberal buytrs of raw iron. We could name some who could sell out and make a handsome profit on iron pur chased since the 1st of April. The Outlook Is Brighter. Outside indications are all that can be desired, but it is not invariably the case that iron advances when the stock market advances. As a matter of fact the iron trade occupies a different position to what it did formerly in all its essential features, so that the most experienced beads hardly know what to think of it, A well-posted iron man has this to say: "It is certaiuly true that intrinsically the market is in a better condition than at any time since the first of January. Business is certainly beginning to pick up along the entire line; so that the demand lor pic iron should im prove accordingly. The immense reduction in the output should be felt pretty soon." The Situation There are onlr four blast furnaces rnnmng in the Mahoning Valley tho two furnaces of Brown, Bonnell & Co., the production of which is entirely consumed in their own mills, ..nd the Girard furnace, of which A. 21. Byers & Co. con sumes one-half, the other halt being placed on the market; the Thomas is the only one making Bessemer for the market. The mills are not running full, being short of orders; prices are also ruling weak. Iron Ore Tne demand is improving, but a number of buyers are holding off. "We hear of lots comprising 330,000 tons Bessemer, f. o. b. on wharf at Cleveland, at ? i 25ij4 50 per ton to Pittsburg parties. New steel rails are in fair demand; current rates at works, $30 00.

The output has been steadily increasing, and to-day more iron is being made in the Birmincham district than ever before In Its history. Two more fur naces blew in last week, and for tho moment the demand has not increased qnlte so last. Fornaco men are taking a hopeful view of the situation for two reasons it is about settled there will be no labor troubles before July, if then, and experience has enabled makers to produce iron more economically. Tney are fully awake to the Importance of economy in new of tho reduoed rates on Pennsylvania iron, and the question is being studied with a good deal of assiduity. As usual, the Pioneer Iron Company of the Pennsylvania Thomases are taking the lead in this matter. They are preparing to go a step further and mine their own coal as well as their ore.

The Iron Situation at Philadelphia Remains Practically the Same. trECIAL TIL to K AM TO THX DtSFATCK.1 Philadelphia, May L Very little can be said concerning the iron market in this vicin lty. The situation does not materially differ from what it was a' week ago, nor is an import ant change likely to occur until after the labor troubles shall have becomo fully outlined. The market is now confronted with many strikes, but just what effect they will have time alone can tell Happily, however, the ontlook from this point is much brighter than it was a week ago. The undertone of confidenco in the pig iron market continues to grow stronger, Dnt a' marked change is not looked for before fall. Some scarcity is noted among foundry Irons, and it is not impossible that bicker prices will be asked in the very near future. Standard coods are now being held at from $17 75 to 118. wmle mill irons. Rood quality, bring from 11 50 to f 15. Standard Pennsylvania Na.1 XI" looted at $17 5M?1S 00; do.

So far as new business is concerned, the market for steel rails is rather quiet, but it con tinues steady at 30 at mills. There are quite a large number of orders on band for the next fonr months, but not enough by any means to guarantee full time for the summer months. It is believed, however, that they will be forthcoming, and that this line of the iron market will not suffer from want of business. Steel billets and slabs are held at somewhat higher prices and last week's prices would not be accepted to-day. There were several im portant transactions made this week at 27, delivered, for nail slabs in the vicimtv of Har nsburg. and $27 75 at tide for 4x4 billets, and later sales were reported at an advance of 50o per ton. Muck bars imorovod the past week, and buyers offered 26 50 delivered, but hold ers could not meet the quotation on account nf freight rates. They were willing to sell, however, at S-6 7527 00, nut buvers held firmly to their own bid of 26 50. The market for bar iron continues weak and unsettled. SKt-lp iron continues dull and weak, and. while 1.70SL75C arc quoted as the ruling prices. It is believed better terms could bo obtained on large orders of desirable sizes. Large orders for plates are still conspicuous by their absence. Tank plates are quoted at 22.10c for iron and 2.052.20c for steel; refined. 2.26Z30c for iron, 2.0001 10c for steel; shell, 2.8002.40c for iron. 2.402.500 tor steel; flange, a20ASOc f or Iron.

The quotations for lots delivered in consumers' vards: Angles, 2.050 2.10c; sheared plates, 2.052.15c; do-sttel, 2.15 2.25c; beams and channels, 3.1c for either iron or steel. Old rails are stagnant. Quotations are nominal at 22 500123 V0 tor seaboard lots; 23 0023 50 delivered at nearby points. A fair demand, moderate supply and unchanged prices tell the history of scrap iron for the past week. No. 1 railroad scrap would possibly bring $22 OOS'B 00 at this citv: 114 O0Q15 00 for best machinery scrap, and 17 WtJlS W deliY' ered for old car wheels. STOCKS BEIIfG BEDTJCEH Negotiations at Cincinnati Are Mostly for Long-Kunning Deliveries. ISrlCIAL TELEOnAM TO THE DISPATCH. I CiciirxATl,May L Rogers. Brown A Co. say: There is nothing of importance to chron icle. Reports have been enrrent of some low priced sales, the object of which was to realize on iron for immediate delivery. This does not imply any increase of stocks, for all indications point to continued reduction of stocks on band. The large negotiations hare been either of this natnre or for lone-running deliveries. Some ot the large consumers in the West have been try ing to encage their supplies of iron to the end ot the ear, or later, at current figures. In charcoal irons they have been successful, but in coke irons bave not. Leading furnaces are taking orders for deliveries running tbroueh the summer at lull current prices. Some buy ers havo withheld their orders for summer re quirements, believing that furnaces will have to sacrifice iron in June and July, to meet In terest demands. This might be true if South ern furnaces were accumulating stocks, but tbe contrary is the case. In tbe Held of consumption reports are mixed. Pipe works are unusually dull and consumption at a minimum. Car worxs have been running very light, bat in some cases at least have now pretty well filled npwith orders until fall. Rolling mills are very slack, but picking up some. Stove and radiator foun dries are running pretty lull. Jobbing and machine foundries are complaining. All seem to expect more work later in the season. In money circles the situation grows easier. There is no difficulty in securing what is need ed for legitimate purposes and at low rates. The accumulation of funus at the cen ters baa led to a little speculative spirit in iron as well as olbor commodities. Some sales of this character have been made the past week to parties who think prices will go higher. There is more activity In malleable and car wheel brands. In tbe malleable line, some of tbe large consumers have tboucbt it wise to anticipate tbe usual time of bujlng. and bave placed contracts In AdhI that are usually placed in June and July. Hinkle, which is now tbe leader in most malle able mixtures East and West, has booked a few such contracts. The trade has derived soma enconracementfrom improvement in Bessemer iron in Pittsburg. A clear advance of 1 per ton is established. Tho coke strike, while stub born and protracted. Is recognized as practic ally broken, and there is talk of resumption of blast by valley furnaces. We make no change in last week's quotations. MODEBaTE ACTTVITY. Local Coke Irons Being Poshed to the Front at Chicago. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TII DISPATCB.1 Chicago. May L Rogers, Brown A Merwin say: The past week has shown a moderate amount of activity on this market in the way of local coke irons. Tbeso are being steadily pushed by companies manufacturing such metal, and at prices so low, both for early and long-scatterd deliveries, that the amount of Southern coke foundry irons coming into this market is being reduced to a minimum. North ern furnaces, on account of their location, belnfr able to make pnoos, wnich are out of the question for companies located in the Alabama dtetnet. Southern coke brands remain in com parative small demand. The week has shown considerable inquiry from largo buyers for both chircoal and coke iron", demonstrating that leading consumers are disposed to anticipate their usual time of purchase. On account of low figures now going on in Lake Superior charcoals there is less crowd ing of Iron at the low figures which have of late prevailed. There has, however, been no real change In the charcoal situation. A number of leading furnaces continue to bold at figures much above those lately made by ceitam companies, while on the other hand certain brands can be bought at low figures, provided buyers will consent to quick deliver ies. It is certain that this condition of things cannot last long, and as soon as tbe few low priced sellers bave sold up, better figures are sure to prevail. Metal Markets. Nrw York. May L Pig Iron dull.

Shipments Are on the Increase and the Number of Active Ovens Growing Stock Houses Being Beplenished A Total of 1,555 Cars Shipped This Week. 1 E FECIAL TELEOUAH TO THE DISrATCII.l Scottdalk. May L The coke market Is rapidly assnming normal form. Shipments are on the increase, the active ovens are growing and operators confidently predict a general re sumption. The furnaces, nblch bave been totally Idle for a number of months, are being lighted and the current demand thereby in creased. The stock houses of the consumers, which bave been at a veiy low ebb. are being replenished. John Dillicger, an operator who thoroughly understands his business, said: "I think trade is toning np rapidly. Of course tbe demand ret sllchtly exceeds the supply, but Auon-tDcneve it win continue in mat strain very tors." When asked what coke was retail ing for now. he said: "Oh, 2 or 3" It is a bonanza for tbe coke operators who have their works in operation at this time. Their foreizht did not deceive tbem any. Tbey are boarding up dollars as a result. Some of them are thinking of increasiDgthe capacity of their plants. Since the general movement for a resumption was inaugurated there has not been much complaint of lack r furl on tbe part of the f nrnacemen and other consumers. Thero are about 4,000 active ovens in the district. Tbe Krick Company is shipping more coke than any firm in the region. They claim to be getting enough to supply their demand. Shipments last week show 1 total of 1,655 cars, or an average of about 260 cars per day. Tbe following were the railroad shipments: To points west of Pittsburg. 818 cars; to.Pitts-bu-g and river tipples, 604 cars; to points east or Pittsburg. 234 cars; total. 1.555 cars. Tbe total increase was 212 cars. The record of consignments for the previous week follows: To points west of Pitts hnrc, 764 cart; to Pitttburc and river tipples. 440 cars: to points east of Pittsburg, 1S5 tears; total, L343 cars.

Tbe HcKeo Homestead, on New Neglej ATenne, Changes Ownership. THE FEATDEE8 OP LOCAL SPECDLATIOS The McKee homestead on new Negley avenue, formerly Roup street,consistingofa lot 200i800, with aSne two-story Queen Anne dwelling, has changed ownership at a price approximating 535,000. The reputed purchaser is W. J. Hammond, a well known business man. It is one ot the finest properties in that locality, and the pur chaser is thought to have secured a bargain. It was the home of John B. McKee, Jr., the well-known stock broker. Bints for Homo-Seekers. JA. prominent drygoods dealer on Market street yesterday purchased 'a piece of prop erty out Filth avenue, as an investment. In speaking of the transaction be said: "I paid a little more than I thought the prop erty was worth at this time, but I looked ahead. Enhancement of land values In and around Pittsburg is certain. Tbe rapid growth of the city In business and population admits of no other conclusion." In purchasing property, whether for use or in vestment, two things should be kept in view location and capacity for improvement. Some properties are so environed as to be Incapable of betterment. Tbey are at tbe limit nf their income-producing capacity. These may be said to have a fixed value. They have no future. Others on good streets in progressive localities are always at the top of the market. There Is a constant demand for tbem which keeps prices on the jump. Buyers of properties so situated look as much to prospective as present values. They have a future. It is difficult to estimate property values where tbere are no insuperable obstacles to im provement. In such cases almost any price is reasonable, since the buyer, if for Investment, looks to the I utnro for his profits. Twenty years ago, or less, property on Filth avenue changed ownership at 2,000 a foot front, and was con sidered doar at that. It is now worth S5.000. Buyers had faith in the future, and were not mistaken. IiOts in the Schenley Park districts are selling at from J100 to 8150 a foot front. Tbey will do worth from 8400 to 8500 within five years. Home seeaers can gain nothing by delay. Nothing short ot a universal disaster to busi ness can bring about a reaction in prices. Cheap lots are being picked up so fast that tbe supply win soon be curtailed, xnoso aoie to ouy anu tbere are few who are not, terms are so easy should make no unnecessary delay, but strike while tbe iron is hot. It is easy to get a honse built on a paid up lot, as hundreds can testify. This is the best investment that a man can make for his family. Business News and Oosslp. Real estate agents say this has been the best week of tbe year with them. The manufacturing site recently sold by James W. Drape A Co. for $75,000 is on the Pennsylvania Eailroad some distance from tbe city. William L.

Heavy Engagements for Gold Shipment Counteract the Strength hi Shares Mis souri Pacific the Target for Bears Industrials Prominent. New York, May 1. The stock market to day displayed a continuance of yesterday's strength in the forenoon but further heavy en gagements of gold for export met the tide at its height, and selling orders werepntin the mar ket by the bears, which checked not only the advance in prices, but the activity in business. The selection of Missouri Pacific was made as the stock to bear tbe brunt of the attack. Tbe position of the different parties in the market has not changed in any respect, and, although the advocates of higher prices acknowledge tbe Importance of the heavy outgo of gold, to which we bave been subjected, the favorable influences which Bret started the upward move ment remain in full force yet. Tbe local trading element is tbe only mate rial opposition to the advance, and many of them bave accepted their losses and gone over to tbe other side: but there is evidently two parties in tbe market, and every event is seized upon to make an impression npon prices. The higher rates for money are well under stood to be only temporary, and tbe effect of the usual shifting of loans incident to the first of he month, and to-morrow is llkolytosee a return to tho former low rates. Tho Industrials were more prominent In the market this morning, and disputed the leader ship of St. Paul and Rock Irland, each of which was verj strong, tbe former being under complete control of a clique, whlcb is steadily advancing it, and both were purchased largely for Western account. In Industrials both Cordage and Sugar made marked gains, but tbe remainder of the market was coutent with small advances. The gold shipment and the selling nf Missouri Pacific, however, took all the strencth out of the market, and Mlssonrl Pacific lost 2 per cent, while Cordage lost not only its early advauce, but a large fraction in addition. The high rates for money did much to pre vent a rally, but some appreciation did take place late iu the day, but It made little progress, and tbe market Anally closed quiet and rather heavy at close to the lowest figures of the day. Tbe late trading was marked, also, by special weakness in the Qraugers, and tbe net declines In all of them were brought up to material amounts. The changes for tbe day are small in most stocks, with a majority of losses, but while Sugar is up IX per cent, Missouri Pacific is down , New England 1 and Burlington 1 per cent. The bond market was qnlet and sympathized closely with the movements in shares, develop ing considerable weakness late in tbe day, and leaving most of the issues traded in lower than last evening. The Atchison incomes and the Reading Issues, Oregon Improvement 6s, the Kansas and Texas Issues were prominent in the dealings, and all are lower this evening. Tbe sales reached $1,833,000, without special anima tion In any issue. rhe following table shows tne prices ot active stocks on the N ew York stock Exchange yeiUr day.

The fol io wine-from a leading manufacturer of cheese on tbe Western Reserve to one of our leading dealers will explain the scarcity of new cheese: "I bave just returned from a week's trip among the factories. My factories are later starting than usual this year, because tbe cows are later fresh. Then after getting started the supply of milk is very light owing to tbe very high price of feed. At tbe high price of feed tbe farmers cannot afford t'o grain their cows, so the cows do not milk as welL" The egg market is not so stronz as it has been for a few days past.

CHICAGO The markets were all strong and higher around the opening this morning. Early cables showed firm and higher markets abroad; deliveries on May contracts for wheat were about 1,000,000 bushels, which went Into strong bands, presumably for shipment. Tbe deliveries of corn were next to nothing, only 5,000 bushels. Tbe cash article was firm and higher. Firmer advices were received from San Francisco to tbe effect that heat had ad vanced because of hot winds on tne coast and because of purchases for export to France. These bullish items of news seemed to prevail against all of the bearish intelligence re ceived. Wheat made a sudden little spurt at the opening. The advantage which it gained in the first five minutes was not lost during tbe session. Tho crowd of scalpers kept playing for a reaction, but it did not come. Instead of this it held steady to firm, and tbe scalpers were finally obliged to buy tbe grain back again at an advance. July wheat opened at SI 0501 OS against SI 05 at tbe close yester day, sold np to SI 06 reacted to SI 06, ad vanced to SI 06 reacted to SI 06 and closed firm. Tbe Insignificant deliveries, the firm cables, tbe premium for cash and buying by-shorts gave corn a strong tone at the outset. Opening sales of July we're made at 63003,, against 63 63c at tne close vesterday, and sold up to 64Kc, but broke to 63c Tbe tone Improved later and the close was 63Jc Reports of lice on tbe oats crop gave the market for that cereal considerable strength. Opening at 48c for July, against 47c at the close yesterday, it sold as high as 49c and closed a below that figure. The provision market was fairly active, with the offerings light. Considering the heavy stocks, tbe deliveries on May contracts were In considerable. Firmness was also Imparted from tbe upward tendency in tbe price of grain. July pork closed with a gain over yesterday of 5a July lard and ribs were unchanged. The leading futures ranged as lonows. as cor rected by John M.

Dairy Prodocta Scarce and Firm Horns Vegetables Plenty. Contrary to usual custom at this time of tbe year creamery butter has advanced from 2 to S cents per pound in tbe week past. The reason for the advance is found in the great scarcity. 'The season for dairy products is fully tbree weeks behind the average time this year. The same Is true of home-raised garden staff. There has been very little good garden stuff coming in from tbe South of late. It seems that un timely frosts hare been adverse to a good , yield in the Florida peninsula. Large quantities of cabbage and strawberries bave been coming to our markets ot late In bad shape, and hence will not yield enough to pay freight bills. Home-raised vegetables are coming In freely the past week and on the Diamond market stalls are plenty of rhubarb, asparagus, lettuce, radishes and green onions from nearby gardens. There has been a scarcity ot tomatoes the past few days and prices are advanced. Supply of lake and ocean products Is now fully up to demand. Lake fish are. however, higber at sources of supply. Florists report good domand for their products, buttendenoy ofprices is downward.
