Tbe company controls seven fur naces altogether. -Pending the steel excitement, there is no fur ther talk of more furnace. There is a universal outcry that Iron mating has gone far enough.

More Property Picked Up and a Large Deal on tho String. Office of rrrrsnuRQ Dispatcii, Kridat. Waj 8. ( Raw Ikon and Steel The market since our last has undergone scarcely any change The heavy operations noted the past two weeks have pretty well supplied the market with the kinds of iron and steel most required fur immediate use. The con dition of affairs in general is such that all arc disposed to move with a fair decree of caution, as it is yet too early to make any calculation whut effect the strike inaugurated ou the 1st will have on trade generally. In regard to vjlues, prices were fairly main tained. Some houses in the trade consider that the tendency is toward an improvement, both in prices as uell ns demand, while others think the contrary. This is probably due to the fact that those who have a long established trade have a continuous run of orders, which enables them to market their en tireoulput without difficulty at quoted rates. Those whose bramlsarelen favorably known, or where that particular grade is not wanted, have no alternative but to shade prices. There is more business in some departments and firmer prices in others; but the improve ment is ot nu lingular and spasmodic char r.cter. Still, the lute dullness is certainly parsing ana), and the talk about lower prices is no longer regarded with any feel ing of iipprchensioD. Some tpecialtics are firmer, others arc held at att advance, and in no case cati any positive decline bo noted. City lurnnce-ma.de iron always commands the highest range of prices ruling in the market. This speaks well for those engaged it: making Bessemer aud Grev Forge. Iuon OitK No further safes have been made. The prospects are rood for several large contracts soon, of which our readers will he fully advised. Prices are the same as noted in our last Reports from the Slienango and Mahoning valleys represent the etock of Bessemer and grey forge re duced to a very limited amount. Parties that visited those poiuts for the purpose of contracting for a few thousand tons came back disappointed. Spot Bessemer is scarce and coruuiauds top prices; luture deliveries not so much fancied owing, no doubt, prin cipally to the uncertainty of the labor troubles aud the coke strike. Kew Steel Kails No large sales made since our last; market steady, prices f. o. b. at works, about S30.000.

An Early Resumption of Activity Is Kow Confidently Expected. rrf CIAL TXLEaXAX to tux DisrATca.1 Philadelphia, May 8. Inquiry among a number of tbe local Iron men and representa tives of nearby lndnstries shows that confl dence in tbe f nture of the trade is rapidly re turning and that with few exceptions an early resumption In activity is expected. As to tbe course prices would take they were rather reti cent, on tbe ground that values are controlled by so many circumstances that an estimate now might prove worthless a week or two hence. It is generally conceded, however, that so far as- the most Important lines are con cerned prices have struck rock bottom and their future tcudeney is to advance These prices for lots delivered to consumers' yards are fairly in line with the market: Standard Pennsylvania, No. 1 X. $17 50318 00; do No. 2 X, $18 50317 00: raemum Pennsylvania. Mo. 1 X. $17 25317 00: io No. 2 X. M0 00018 25. A concession of say 23 ceuts would prubably be made for deliveries to nearby points West or South. City mills are quoting $1 7531 SO, but we have board of 100 ton lots, delivered at Philadelphia, quoted at a shade under $1 7a This 1h one line uf the trade where prices are thought to nave reacbed rock bottom, and an early Improve ment in the demand is now expected, Skelp Iron is quiet and is quoted at from fl 7031 75, delivered, for grooved, and 18531 90 for sheared. Old rails (Iron) are selling at 23 50 delivered, while steel brings from $17 S0 i o$18. Scrap Iron is al,o in small demand.

Rogers, Brown fc say: Prlcerbave not improved any since last reports, but ttrore is a larger business. In quiries have conio In for large quantities of coko and charcoal Irons. Such transac tions as havo been closed have been at tbe bottom Azures. The more active buying, however, affords a better foundation on which to build a market and some furnaces have already advanced their views for forward deliveries. The largest orders booked have been for Lake Superior charcoal and Southern coke gray (orge Irons. Heavy contracts for the former class of iron that ire usually placed about midsummer aro this year about two months ahead of time. This is owing to the belief that prices have touched a point below which they cannot go, and reaction may occur before midsummer. In Southern coke mill irons the object of buyers has bees to beat S10 cash at Birmingham. Sales have been made below this figure for Immediate or early 'deliv eries, but for shipments running through tbe year 50 ceuts per ton higher is asked.

TKLEORAK TO THX DISrATCH.1 CninAOO, May 8. Rogers, Brown x Merwln say: Transactions in Lake Superior charcoal continue tobe the mostpromiuentfeatnre of this market. Many additional sales of round lotsbave been made, and other large consumers aro now negotiating for their season supply. The bny nc of metal ot this class, which usually takes place in Jnne and July, is being consummated nearly two months ahead of the regular period in consequence of tbe exceptionally low prices which are ruling. There has been no real upward tendency in prire yet in this line, but it is apparently a, fact that such sellers as have been willing to accept under 17 00 at Chicago have cot withdrawn, or else are holding at this fizure. Transactions In the way of coke irons are diminishing somewhat, deals being very light for iron made in tbe Birmingham district. Sales of Northern Irons have been restricted, on ac count of the shutting down of most of the local f nrnaces, owing to tbe impossibility of obtain in!; fuel. In many lines o f iron ma-i uf acture a befer feelinc exists, and indications Doint to a considerable Increase of activity a little laterin the season. , Mr. E. H. Hay, of Allegheny City, has purchased f from Mrs. E. K. Phillips, of Greensburg, through Thomas McCaffrey, a tract of land on Rebecca street, above Peun avenue, Nineteenth ward, containing be tween three and four acres, for $1,000, A house and lot on the same street was sold yesterday to a Bradford cotfnty oil man for $8,000. A deal is going on in one of the outer wards Involving a large amount of acreage, and will probably oome to a bead next week. A local railroad Is ono of tbe parties to tbe dicker. Tho Rally In Stocks. Without any material change in the situa tion, the advanco In local slocks the past 'few weeks has been rapid and well sustained. This Is no doubjT due to the strike iu the building trades paralyzing that Industry. People having money are not disposed to put It In houses un der existing circumstances, and take to stocks as a necessity. While nearly everything on the board has fair standing, tbe tractions are among the most promising features. From a secondary position, they have in a short timo assumed the first in riolnt of interest. The nn. turn has brought now buyers Into the market, 1 oroaaening tue ueia oi operations, and given it such a strong tono as to lead to tbe conviction that tho improvement will last through the summer. Heal Estate Situation. The movement In real estate Is fairly good under the circumstances much better than a month ago. The bearish feature is tbe uncer tainty of anything like a rusli In building op erations beforo (all. It will tako time to settle tbe strike, and by that time tbe hot season will be on, when business is always slow. It Is the genoral opinion that everything will be In readiness for a forward movement by tbe first of September; and If a disposition to bustle signify anything, the last five or six months of tbe year will be crowded with business. Buy ers of teal estato are not out of tbe market. They are only waiting and watclilnc and in the meantime picking up good things when tbey see them. A Good Outlook. An authority on Iron layst "There is one thing very noticeable, and that Is, the general belief that wo are going to see good results In the iron business shortly. We agroe with this line of talk, and as we have a good deal to do with iron manufacturing companies of various kinds, are In a position to see from a much bet ter standpoint than a simple student of tbe papers." . Business News and Oosslp. Trustees ot tho M. K. Church at WUklnsburg have rejocted all bide for tbe new building. They were too high. All the workmen on the Arbuthnot building havo knocked off except the painters. The United States has 158.0W miles of rail road, which give employment to an army of 700,000 mev. A meeting will beheld at tbe LIthgow ave nne school house, Second ward, Allegheny, next Wednesday evening at 70 P.M., to take action in regard to the immediate improvement of Perrysvllle avenue. As there n considerable feeling on the subject a large gathering ot property owners Is expected. They are becom ing vory tired or the delay in pntting this im. portant thoroughfare in good condition.

Herron 4 Sons, roturned yesterday from, a trlii rn the Hm,th lie reports business is flourishing in that part of Uncle Sam's dominions. The land sales at tho new town of Barberton, Summit connty, O., on Tuesday and Wednes day lasr. were complete successes, $300,000 worth of lots being disposed of. This success was chiefly due to judicious advertising a point that should not be overlooked by any wanting to buy or sell real estate. W. J.

A Good Volume of Business Transacted and Higher Prlcon Recorded The First Movement in Dnqueino T ruction Stock Current Gossip. Tho local stock market yesterday maintained the stronc features, for the most part, so fre quently noted ot la'o, while business was about the best of the week, C93 shares' changing bands. Price .changes, as compared with those ot tbe previous day, show gains in Ohio Valley, Manufacturers' and Wbeeline Gas, Citizens' and Pittsburg Tractions and Airbrake. Central Traction and Philadelphia Gas opened and closed tbe same. Luster was tbe only thing on tbe active list that submitted to a concession, and lto!Abw!,a nnir a amall fraction. Electric sold up early on -.activity and scalp ing fluctuations in Boston, but in tbe afternoon that stimulus was withdrawn and the price dropped at both places. It closed here a frac tion below the opening, and i under tbe top of the day. There was no nous to affect the stock, the regular gossjp appearing to have been worked for all there was In It. A gentle man who met Mr. Westinghone In New York said ho had reason for believing a full state ment would he made at tho next meeting. He seemed to tako stock Hi the consolidation the ory. .Scrip was offered at 60, and later at 59. The most interesting event of the day was the sale of a 100-share lotof Dnquesne Tracilon stooR by A.J. Lawronce & Co. to Kuhn Bros, at 13, this being the first transaction 'in this security. There Is a strong inquiry for tbe stork. Manchester Traction was also in de mand. The failure, of the Spring Garden Bank in Philadelphia caused some talk, but as it In volves nothing here, It had no effect upon prices. The failure, it seems, was not unex pected, the bank havini; been hard run for sev eral months. Jt had a capital ot 750,000 and a surplus or 130.000.

New Yore, May 8. Tho stock market to-day was still a hesitating one, tbe two principal Influences upon It pulling In opposite directions, and while there was considerable disposition to buy stocks on the progress made at tbe railroad-meeting, yesterday, tbe con tinued cold export with its consequent bard enine of the money rates, encouraged short selling, as well as realizations. Tbe course of prices therefore was leverlsh and unsettled throughout the day, while In tho absence of pressure to sell there was no inclination to re turn to dullness. Commission houses are yet moderate buyers of stocks, and tbe bearish element seems for tbe tlmo being, at least, confined to tbe room, but the continued heavy outgo of gold Is begin ning to have its effect, and is now the principal argument against any further movement in tho market. The favorites ot tbe Chicago party still lead in both activity and strength, St Panl and Chlcazo Gas belne most prominent: but the heaviest movements to-day were In tbe luw-pricea shares, and Chicago and East Illi nois and Tennessee Coal were specially weak. The market opened with a spurt of activity on the selling of stocks by both London and the traders, hut there was good support ac corded, and Vie fractional losses sustained were soon reversed, while the cessation of tbe pressure to sell resulted in comparative dull ness an u stagnation in prices, wnicll were Held at about tnebesc figures until n ell into the afternoon. Further demoralization was caused by the announcement of tbe extraordinary large shipments of gold. The selling was heavy for both Chicago people and the local operators,and as tbe amount to be sent on Satur day grew prices reached still lower figures. There was no cessation of tbe selling, and the losses extended to large amounts in almost all the active stocks, those wbtcb suffered most being Chicago and East Illinois, Missouri Paci fic, Lackawanni, Rock Island, Burlington and Tennessee Coal. 'On the other hand. Lake Shore. Union Pacific and the Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks were remarkably well held, and their losses are measured by fractions only. In tbe others, however, they were generally large fractions. The downward movement met with no check, and the marker closed active and weak at tbe lowest prices of the day. w line present prices tor seocks are generally considered below their actual value, no marked advance is now looked for until a stop has been put to the heavy shipments ot gold. Tbe final changes of note include losses as follows: Chicago and East Illinois, 4 per cent; Tennessee Coal. 2; Louisville; New Albany a'nd Chicago, 1; Sugar, IK: Missouri 'Pacific, IK: Chicago Gas, Ruck Island and Southern Pacific, each 1; Burlington and New England, each 1J; Reading, 1, and Union Pacific and Northern Pacific, eacn 1 per oonr. The railroad bund market was affected by the same influences which were puwerful to causo a reaction In shares, and the selling ex tended to many of the more active issues, with the same result. Tbe business done was largely In excess of that of tbe past few days, reaching $7,169,000, which was well and widely distrib uted. Tbe declines, however, were in general for Insignificant amounts.

THE SUNDAY DINNER, Office or PrrrsBURO Dispatch, l Friday, May 8. Country Produce Jobbing Prices. Friday's trade proved tbe best of tbe week as reported by commission men. Fresh nearby eggs are firm at outside quotations, and, alas! for tbe weakness of bnman nature, not a few that were laid many hundreds of miles away are sold for nearby stock. Country butter and Ohio creamery are coming in freely, and mar kets give slcns of weakness. Demand for cream ery butter has very ninch declined ot late, for tbe good reason that country towns can now secure supplies nearer home. Adrop In prices will likely come before many days. Supply of Ohio cheese Is very far sbort ot demand. A leading doaler reported that he could have easily disposed of Ave times as much cheese this week as we were ablo to secure. Supply of poultry is light and demand is ditto. Straw berries are moving freely at quotations.

In the line of market-basket filling, prices are not essentially changed from what they were a week ago. Quality of vegetables on tbe stalls at tbe Diamond Market shons improve ment. Home raised garden Btuff is now in full supply and will be from now on. Strawberries have declined in price during the week from 40c to 15c per quart. The heavy frosts at the be ginning of tbe week proved adverse to early strawberries which wero in full bloom in tbis section. 1 .is still hoped that thoso still to bloom will furnish enough for all demands. Asparagus and rhu barb have been checked in their growth by the low temperature, Tjut there are no fears of a famine in these lines. New Soutbern rose potatoes have put in tbelr appearance for the first time within a few days. Butter and eggs are the same In price as a week ago. Country rolls aro iu bountiful supply and mar kets am weak. Poultry is in light supply and demand, and prices incline to a lower level. In line of staple meats trade is reported quiet. Florists report activity in their line, with a tendency to lower prices.

Much Lower Oats Dull Provi sions Weak Other Markets. CHICAQO The day was lively in the wheat pit Tbe price plunged up and down, with a rapidity to satisfy the most exacting devotees ot action In tbe market. Tbe market opened In a weak; almost panicky condition and was nervons and flighty, with a weak undertone', all day. It was reported that the great grain firm of EpfaruzzI & Co., ot Paris, bad failed, and this was taken as an Indication of coming trouble among tbe wheat bulls elsewhere. 80 much 'craln came on tbe market at tbe start that July, wbleb closed at 9o yesterday, and which opened -at 0Sc this morning, broke with one or two minor reactions, to V7c. At this point the bears began to tako tbelr profits; there was some buying against puts, and tbe story of the Parts failure was denied. The shorts took fright and began to cover, with the result of lifting the price to W,c. Repre sentatives of New York houses then began to sell, tbe big local hears began to pnt ont abort wbeat again, and tbe market collapsed This time it touched 97c but subsequently made a rally to 99e, and broke to 97o again. The close was firm at 9Sic Corn .was active, fluctuating frequently within tbe established range, tub sentiment prevailing being early about equally divided. There was 110 new or Important features pre sented, tbe market sympathizing, with wheat to a crcat extent. July opened at 61c, sold off to 0Cc, rallied to 61c. broke to 60ic advanced to 01c. dropped to 6ec rallied uud closed at 69Xc Toward tho close ot the day several large lines of "long" property came on tbe market, the local crowd taking advantage ot tbe situation, and the sharp break of tho day was tbe resulr. Oats were dnll and steady for a time, but wbun corn broke that cereal receded In sym pathy with It, going from 46JjO for July to litfc. Provisions weakened early tinder raiding. Thereafter tlia offerings were scarce, tbe de mand vood and priceslmprovlnc until near tbe close, when they eased off witb corn and wheat, Tbe close was at slightly lower prices thau on yesterday.
