PRODUCTION IS AWAY OFF ROW And Manufacturers Are Stocking Only for Immediate Wants at All Points. SALES XOTED SLVCE LAST EEPOET. Condition of the Market at All Centers at the North and South, Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, ) Fbidat, May 15. J Bar Iitox axd Steel. The volume of trade does not show up as largcfas for some weeks past. Still, -we see no particular reason for complaint. Confidence is being restored, and values will soon come to tho front So far as values are concerned, we have few changes to record. Buyers for some weeks have confined purchases to limited amounts for immediate wants. Of course these sup plies w ill soon be exhausted. In conversa tion with leading dealers, most of them said the situation was more favorable. Human nature is much the same all the way through, and iron is novor in such great de mand as when people believe it is going to be scarce, and they are never so afraid of car rying a stock as when prices are on the de cline, no matter how low tho price may bo. Hence it is not easy to say w hctherthe pres ent movement will develop higher prices or not. How ever, those competent to express an opinion, think that good arguments could bo presented to show an advance in the near future. Let us examine the curtailment of production. Stocks of pig iron on hand Jan uary 1, 1S91, 422,000 tons; February 1, 403,000 ton-: deficiencv in stock of 19.000 tons. March 1, 304,000 ton: deficiency, 39,000 tons. April L, stock:,, 290,554: deficiencv, 73,446 tons. Hay 1, stocks, 246,98 tons; deficiency, 43,566 tons, showing a deficiency in pig iron during the past four months of 175.012 tons. Mxofthe producing districts -Pittsburg, Marjland, Virginia. Alabama, Georgia and Standing Kock, Ohio oil show an increase, while all othe.- districts show a decrease. 1 he Eastern pig iron market is reported both firm and active. . A leading Eastern dealer had this to say: "The trade is begin ning to feel that a bottom has been touched, and while there is some doubt in regard, to the stability of any ma. erial advance until after midsummer, there is a disposition to buv Ireelv at quoted rates. Sellers are be coming a ery cautious, however, and in many instances are refusing business at figures which would have been readily accepted a short time ago.

Heavy Purchases of the Charcoal Variety In the Cincinnati Market. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. CI5CI3SATI, May 15. Rogers, Brown & Co say: The principal event of tlie Iron mar- ket the past week has been the heavy purchases of charcoal irons by the mal leablo syndicate. It is estimated that these amount in the aggregate to 40,000 tons. Prices varied according to brands, but in somo cases it is certain low figures were made. While charcoal Irons have been in over-supply for a time, in consequence of slack business among the car works and railroads, the forces to correct this are already set in motion. In Alabama and Ten nessee a large number of the furnaces are out of blast, and lately there has been a marked restriction of output in the Lake Superior district. The extensive forest fires also in the region from which many of the Lake Superior furnaces draw their charcoal have destroyed a great deal of wood cut for this purpose. In time this will also affect the situation. In coke irons there has been a strong disposition among consumers to take hold for long scattered: deliveries, and this the furnaces have stubbornly resisted. The agricultural implement men particu larly have been in the market about two months in advance of their usual buying time. There is no change apparent in the general situation, but a free ordering forward of iron on contracts and numerous inquiries for spot deliveries, lead to the conclusion that consumption is gradually increasing. Statistics show a further large reduction of stocks in April, and tho same is believed to be going on this month. Foundry irons: Southern coke, Xo. 1 ?15 0015 2S Southern coke.

Philadelphia, May 15. The tendency of iron market to improve received a check tho past week by the disturbances in financial circles. While the trade was not directly affected by theso troubles the effect upon operators was demoralizing. Standard Pennsvlvania No. 1 X are quoted at $17 50 18 00 and do Xo. 2 X at $16 5017 00; medium Pennsylvania Xo 1 X at $17 2517 50 and do No.2 X at$lG00lG2i The Bessemer pig market was very dull, prices being nominal at $17 0017 50 at furnace for standard and from $2 to $2 50 higher for special brands at furnace. 31111s are gradually filling up with small orders for structu ral material, the requirements for bridge and structural work being especially good. Angles are quoted at 2.052.10c; sheared plates, 2.052.10c (steel Is worth L0 L5c more); beams and channels, 3.1c for Iron and steel. These prices include delivery. Tho market for steel billets is at a standstill, holders being firm in their prices and con sumers, feeling that a decline will come, are awaiting developments. The former quote $27 5027 75, delivered at points on the Sus quehanna, and from 50 to 75c on the Schuyl kill. There is a fair demand for steel rails in small lots,bnt tho big orders are not forth coming as rapidly a3 was looked for. Thirty uouars continue tne quotation, ana mere is nothing in the sttuati&n Just now to warrant a lower price. The market for muck bars is irregular and unsettled, and there is a wide range in prices, $2650 being bottom, and $27 50 top quotations. Grooved sold tho past week at fromL70 L75c White plates have not advanced in price, owing to the strong competition by producers, the market is, no doubt, more ac tive. These prices are nominal, but they are generally closely adhered to: Tank plates. 2S?2.10c for iron. 2.05SJ2.20C for steel: refined, 2.202.3'c for iron, 2.05Q2.10 for steel; flange, 3.2OQ3.302 for Iron, 2.502.75 for steel. Old rails are quiet and quotedat $22 5023 50 for iron and $1718 for steel. Scrap iron might be active if holders were willing to grant the concessions asked, but tho differ ence 50c$l is too great to be met. Xo. 1 railroad scrap is quoted at from $2122 50, according to locality: No. 2 light, $15lb; best machinery, $1415; old car wheels, $H18 de livered. BIG BUYING IS CHICAGO. AX,arge Xnmber of Good Sized Sales of Coke Iron Made There. tSr-ECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE SISFATCU. Cuicago, May 15. Sogers, Brown and Jler win say: Additional heavy sales of Lake Superior charcoai iron have been made In. this district. during the past week at prices ranging on about the same basis as that which has ruled during the last fortnight. A large part of the season's buying in this line on the part of malleable car wheel and agricultural concerns has now been done, and in consequence of the large sales made most of the furnaces making metal of this class are now occupying a more inde pendent position as to prices and long deliveries, and several companies' have advanced prices 50 cents per ton. On coke irons there has been heavy buy ing, a large number df contracts having been placed for long deliveries, many of them run ning well into next year. Among these there have been a number of good-sized sales for boutnern cotes. Other large consumers are in tho market, and are striving to place contracts running 10 or 12 months ahead, but they find the Southern furnaces quite indisposed to ac cept these long deliveries. Prices on coke irons remain practically unchanged. Tho general leeling is gaining ground that the worst part of the market nas been passed, and that more activity and betterprices will prevail during the remainder of the year. INQUIRIES P0E IB0K. Car Manufacturers in St. Louis Are Making Some Good Purchases. SrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. St. Lodis, May 15.

Drift of the Speculative Stream Here and at Other Iieading Centers. OFFICE AND STEEET.NEWS AND GOSSIP The residence property of Isaac Taylor, deceased, consisting of a three-story brick house and lot, 24x170, and situated on tho northeast corner of North avenue and Itesaca street, Allegheny, changed owner ship yesterday when the deed was passed, the consideration being $26,000. The new owner is Mr. John H. Mueller, .who will occupy the place as a home. Two other high-class residences on the Northside have changed hands during tho week, showing a good demand for that class of property and money to pay for it, ajl of these transactions being on a cash basis. The purchaser of tho Sherman avenue prop erty, referred to in this column a day or two ago, was Colonel John W. Echols, the well known attorney. Realty as an Investment. The stability of a communitv denends In a large degree upon the number of its homes. Proprietors, having more at stake than rent ers, are conservative in their conduct, lest by hasty action they imperil their personal Interests; and in protecting themselves they necessarily exercise a restraining influence upon others. A "city of homes" is so self poised as to be comparatively secure against the vicissitudes of trade. Pittsburg is stronger In every way to-day than at any previous time in her history, because of the larger number of those who own the houses they live in. Referring to real estate as an investment, an authority on the subject says: "It is the best property in which money can bo in vested." Stocks may riso and fall and banks fail, but land remains intact. Landed prop erty of any kind pays well. The man who has carefully Invested in real estate and lost is a person who cannot bo found. Some peo ple complain about property they bought several years before 'taint worth half as much as It was then' but, barring the fact .nil moj- uiuy uuve paiu nctuious prices ior it, buy It of them at their purchase price if you can. Wherever it mayDe, it takes little to keep it and requires no more attention than one chooses to give it." Men point to the great manufacturers of the country and to their wealth as evidence of largo profits in that interest, but they are the exception, not the rule, and are far from being as numerous as real estate kings. But even manufacturers Invest in real estate as fast as possible. We do not often hear of inem in inis lino tnoy are known as manu facturersyet their real estate investments are very heavy. Will Get Their Commission. The congregation of Bnai Israel Synagogue, corner of Grant and Third streets, about a year ago placed that property in the hands of Charles Somers 4 Co. for sale within 20 days. Within that time it was sold to J. L. Somers for $20,000, but the congregation, hav ing changed their minds, refused to ratify tho transaction on the ground that the con sideration was less than they thought the property was worth. Suit was brought by the firm for their commissi nn.nnd Tfistnrdftv judgment was rendered in their favor. Business News and Gossip. The property on Water street for which Captain Sam Brown Is said to be dickering is in the immediate vicinity of tho Mononga hela House. There is probably something in the talk of a handsome business structure on Grant street and Fourth avenue, opposite the St. Nicholas building, -as referred to in this column some time ago. The property be longs to an estate. Tho sale of lots In the Girard Park Place plan, Marion station, by Morrison & Bank's, begins to-day. Prices range from $300 to $700. The largest mortgage on the Recorder's file yesterday was for $10,000. Seven of 21 were for purchase money. A New York flnan cler says: "The outward movement of gold would be checked if tho money rate here advanced, but this rate is kept down by people Interested In getting gold. When the demands for gold are met, there is likely to be a sharp advance In tho money rate here."' , I W. ft. Watt and It. J. Stoney, Jr., were the principal buyers of Electric yesterday. Andrew Caster bought from -John D. Bailey 190 shares Safe Deposit .Company stock at 64. Tho first of the year it was held at 68.

There was more snap among the room traders, and more properties were handled. The foreign situation was a little less strained, but still far from comfortable.

The stock market con tinued to decrease its volume of business to day, while the trading exhibited a narrow ing of the speculation, the general list being comparatively neglected, and all the inter est and three-fourths of the business were confined to seven stocks St. Paul, Lacka wanna, Union Pacific, Louisville and Nash ville, Atchison, Burlington and Quinoy and Sugar. The general course -of prices was downward, the combined result of further heavy taking of gold for shipment and Lon don selling, induced by tho higher rates for money at - that center and the disquieting financial complica tions at Lisbon and the Argentine. Tho bullish feeling isheldincbeckby these troubles, and while the domestic outlook continues of the most flattering character, the foreign situation dominates the market at present. That holders are not scared by the foreign complications, however, receives daily demonstrations, and the drain of gold with its threat of oreating a scarcity of funds here is not allowed to bring the larger hold ings upon the market. There was, however, considerable selling to realize profits on tho rise of yesterday by the trading element, and indications, among which the limited de mand for stocks in the loan crowd is not the least, show that the shorts have covered largely in the last fow days. The selling for the foreigners and the traders made the opening of tho market fractionally lower this morning, but cover ing was resumed and a material rally fol lowed, in which, however, only the coal stocks and the industrials were prominent, the meeting of the ngents being the moving cause in the strength displayed by the former. Tho gains in these shares reached over 1 per cent, but the genesal list barely recovered the opening and early losses. The gold shipments then met the rising market and the fear that the largo shipments of nearly $3,000,000 would mako a loss in the surplus reserves of the banks to-morrow of noon: o,uw,uuu, out as tne receipts 01 cur rency from the intoiior have been quite heavy, it is likely that the loss in the reserve win not.De as great as estimated. The tendency of prices, however, con tinued downward throughout the remainder of the day, with a slight rally only in 'the last hour. The advances in all the strong stocks of the forenoon were neutralized ex cept in Delaware and Hudson, which is the only stock to show any material improve ment for the day. The losses reached 1 per cent, but in most stocks were confined to fractions. The late rally was induced by covering, but the close was heavy at close to tho lowest prices, The final changes are in most of the active stocks large fractional losses, while Louisville Is down 1, and St. Paul, Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred and Wabash preferred each 1 per cent, while Dela'n are and Hudson is up 1 per cent. Thero was the usual insigniflefcit trading In rail road bonds, but.tho temper of the market was reactionary and small losses resulted, the fluctuations being .on the same limited scale at the business, which amounted to only $681,000: The dealings developed abso lutely no feature of interest. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and steady. The following tahle shows the prices of active stocks on the Xew York Stock Exchange yesterday.

NEW Y0EK TOBACCO MAEKET. Sumatra Still King Prices Ruling at a Recent Leaf Sale. Inquiries for now crops were quite lively tho past week, but packers do not seem In clined to dispose of those just now, says the United States Tbbacco Journal. Buyers seem particularly anxious to get hold of the new Wisconsin, which, will apparently be the favorite tobacco for. tho coming season." Such parcels as were disposed of were bring ing from 13c to 15c. Fillers are now selling at eVery price, witb Zimmcrs' Spanish still leading. Several hundred cases changed hands the past week at remarkably high figures. The auction sale of 72 bales of Sumatra on Tuesday last proved again that the Su matra is still king. Twenty-flvo of the 72 bales were bid In at from $2 to $2 25 a pound, while the balance averaged $1 80. Consider. ing that that Sumatra was supposed to havo been damaged in some shape, that it was handled rather roughly and consequently injured in the soundness of the leaf to the extent of several pounds, that the terms of tho sale were strictly cash without any re course for claims, the price paid for It fully equals $3 per pound In the ordinary arid legitimate transaction. The 28 bales of Havana disposed of at the same auction salo averaged from 85c to 90c, an equally satis factory result for tho high valuo of last year's Havana crop.

The but ter makers who have yearly contracts to furnish butter at 40 and 50c per pound are to be congratulated these days, when a fair article is selling at one-third these figures. Supply of Ohio cheese has not yet caught up to demand, but is steadily on the gain. Poultry is coming in more freely of late, and I prices have improved unaer tne influence of a better demand. Potatoes are quiet and prices are a shade lower. The supply of strawberries is sufficient for all needs of trade, and fancv stock sells at 15c Tier auart.

Corn, hay and millfeed are quiet, with tho tendency toward lower prices, while wheat and oats are fairly steady. July corn is now close to 10c per bushel below the highest point reached in April, and some expensive lessons have been learned by operators, who acted on the faith that corn would travel up close to the dollar line.

Wheat Trading Spasmodic Due Mainly to the Weather and Crop Conditions A Break From Top Prices In Corn While Oatsr Were Active. CHICAGO Wheat was nervous all day, but ranged within narrow limits. The open ing price was the lowest point reached, and tho fluctuations thereafter were from the starting point to.lc higher. July opened at $1 01K1 02, and sold up to $1 02, ranged between $1 02J and $1 02 during' the fore noon, broke to $1 01J, recovered to $1 02 closing iiBMa lower. The volume of busi ness transacted was not as large as yester day or tho preceding days of the week. Trad ing was spasmodic,- at times showing some animation and another ruling quiet and dull. Weather and crop conditions gave more evi dence of influencing the market. The firm ness was duo to reports of dry weather, bug stories and export buying at the seaboard, mostly, however, for deferred shipment; while weaker cables,' denials of any serious damage to wheat by insects and reports of rain in the Northwest and some sections of the winter wheat belt caused the weakness which existed at one time. The rains were reported in Minnesota and Dakota and little in Michigan. Predictions in Kansas and Ne braska: The report of the damage to wheat by Insects were received from Kansas. The late rally to the highest point of the day was due to cablegrams from, Paris that the mar ket advanced 30 centimes after the official closing because of larger buying for Hunga rian account. Frost was predicted In Iowa and Wisconsin to-night. Pardridge covered short wheat all the morning, when meal showed weakness. It looked very much as though leaders on tho bear side were doing a little selling. The corn crowd was disposed to hammer the market at the outset, but all of the offer ings were quickly taken and values moved up In sympathy with wheat. The announce ment of 500 cars as to-morrow's receipts caused a break from top prices, but sym pathy with wheat and provisions again helped prices up. July opened at 5858c, sold up to 59J4C, off to 5SJc and closing at oojsc Oats were active, unsettled, with a higher range of values, and especially for the new crop futures August and September which were bought on. drouth stories from the Northwest and reports of bugs In the South west. Tho feature of the provision market was the limited offerings and the good demand for the product by leading local houses. Armour's name 'was given by several brokers as their principal in purchases of considerable lines of pork. Cudahy was a buyer of July pork on a weak spot at the opening and was a seller for September later in the day. Thero was a good demand all day for lard and ribs. The close shows an advance of 12o in tho value of July pork, 7Jc in lard and 10c in ribs, compared with yesterday's final figures. The leading features ranged as follows, as corrected by John M. Oakley & Co., 45 Sixth street, members of the Chicago Board of Trade: The leading futures ranged as follows, as corrected by John M.

Information for Housekeepers Who. Pat ronize the Stands and Stalls. The cost of the Sunday dinner will not vary much this week from last. Staple meats rarely change to the consumer, whatever the ups and downs of live stock. Butter should be from 5 to 10c per A lower than a week ago. Good country rolls are a drug on the market at 15c per lb, and good creamery is slow at 25 to 28c In a Jobbing why. Eggs and poultry aro firm at last week's prices. The markets are well supplied with strawberries, but choice stock holds up well to prices of last Saturday. Home raised strawberries will not be due for a week or two, and prospects are not brilliant for a good crop, as late frosts nipped large quantities In this section when in flower. Florists report a fair week's trade, with much better prospects for the week to come, as society will be getting in some good work next week. In the line of outdoor flowers lilacs nnd lilies of tho valley have the call. The May Music Festival has made special .demands for loose flowers. At-tho fish stalls the only new feature re ported is the fresh arrival of soft shell crabs, tho first of tho season being reported this week.
