Office of the PrrTSiinta Dispatch, )
Fridat, May 29. J
RitTjlKOS A5D Steel Trade since our last
report lias not been so active; still the
Volume of business gives little reason for
Complaint. As to price tho situation is differ
ent. Values in many instances shpw a w ide
range. Bessemer pic for soma weeks has at
tracted attention. The operations Uavo boon
large and for various deliveries. Welcarned
of one, about 10,000 tons, deliverable monthly
until January J, 1S92; other sales wore made
extending several months ahead. Sales exhib
ited a ido range. One thing is certain tbo
price for Bessemer now Is undoubtedly tho
the principal cause of so many purchasers.
Another evidence that prices aro low is that
Tvhen makers of Bessemer aro largo buyers
they prove their opinions by purchasing
Instead of making. Parties interested can
draw their on conclusions.
The settlemcntbf the coke strike removes
one difficulty that caused anxiety at certain
points. For most descriptions buyers aro
very conservative, and manifest little confi
dence in the prediction of higher prices. On
the other hand, thero are sellers -who aro
. unwilling to contract to deliver Iron at
present prices during later months.
An Expert's Views Submitted.
A leading dealer had this to say about the
coke situation: "The strike being practically
at an end, indications point to a speedy
resumption of full activity. It is not un
likely, however, that this will induce tho re
sumption of operations to any great extent
on the part of furnaces now idle, and it is
not probable there will bo anv material in
crease in the production of pig iron until tho
demand shall broaden."
There is a general belief that the lowest
figures during 1S91 will prove to have been
reached in tho tecond quarter of the vear,
and whilo there seems to be little nmtmfiili rv
of any maikcd advance during the second
quarter, there is some probabilitvofa move
ment of that kind later on. That -will de
pend upon a variety of influences not yet
apparent. But it is encouraging to note
that the tendency seems to be in the right
direction, and with continued favorable re
ports there is every leason to hope for cor
responding conditions m the iron trade.
sorTHERX Tio Ibox Our remarks last week
were w ell received by iron men and pro
nounced correct in all respects. One dealer
says: "Our attempt to introduce Southern
pig cost us over $o00, when gave it up and
don't propose to experiment anv more."
Stocks of pig iron in the .Mahoning and
Shenango "V alleys are reported exceedingly
light, theprinciple amount made being con
sumed at home.
I box Sales One hundred thousand tons
taken troni the Cleveland wharf, prices
ranging from ?4 505 23, as per quality. New
steel rails Xo special sales since our last:
market firm with sales at works, $30.
The Situation Summed Up.
The situation may be summed up as fol
low s: Bessemer Prices weak, very un
certain; late deliveries sold at low prices.
Gray Forge Standard brands are "held
firmly, with light stocks in the market. Steel
blabs and billets unchanged; demand has
fallen off. Fereo-maiiganese unchanged
here and in the East. Muck bai-Dcmand
has fallen off, with lig'it sales at last week's
prices. Bloom endsSales made ait 25c do
cline. Steel wiro,rods declined 25c. Skelp
iron unchanged. Old iron and steel rails
dull and i eaker. Scrap material Sales show
a Slight decline.
Tne LATESi-Tho demand for Bessemer
and gray forge during past 4S hours was
heaty. sales below tell the whole story.
Transactions in theMahoning and Shenango
Valleys were the largest for a long time.

tSrtCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCH.
rmLADELriiiA, May 29. Thecndof thecoko
strike w as the most important feature of tho
week, but as its results had long ago been
discounted, it caucd little or no comment
nmong the local iron trade. Tig iron The
supply is fully up to the requirements, and
there does not seem to bo any
nccesity to force sales. Consumers
continue independent nnd buy what is
needed and no more. Quotations arc about

the lev sales reported weieat $17 U017 CO
for standard, at furnace, and $19 0019 50 for
special brands. There is amystcrious move
ment regarding steel billets which somo
producers are anxious to havo un
raveled. Some consumers, it is as
serted, aro getting their supplies at
figures considerably lower than the market
price, which is generally regarded at $27 60
ii 00 for deliveries on the Susquehanna, or
$2S09g23 50at seaboard or-on-the Schuyl
kill. Steel rails aro quiet, but steady at
about $30 f. o. b. cars at mills. Large orders
aro still scarce, but mills havo plenty of
small ones to keep them pretty busy for
June and July. Muck bars are more active
than a week ago and gQod qualities aro held
firmly.
Whilo bar iron shows no unusual activity,
thero is no doubt that it now possesses more
life than has recently been noted. Quota
tions rango from 1.70o for large lots up to
L50g.L83c for small quantities. Skelp iron
shows no improvement whatever, and tho
small lots sold were generally at about 1.70
1.75c for grooved, and l.S5L95o for sheared.
Structural material has a promising future,
and but for the unsettled condition of finan
cial matters thoro would bo a beavy business
In this line, owing to the extensivo building
operations in sight. These aro tho price,de
ltvered: Angles, 2.052J0e; sheared plates, 2
2.10c; beams and channels, 3.1c, for either
iron or steel. Plates aro improving in activ
ity and tho demand from several sources is
quite heavy. Prices aro somewhat unsteady
but inclined to advance. Wo quote:
Tank plates, 22.10c for iron, 2.05250o
for steel: refined. 2 20fE2J0e for iron.
2.052.10e for steel; flange, 3.20
3.30c for iron, 2.502.75o for steel. Old rails
and scrap Iron aro dull and inactive. Prices
for tho former aro nominally from $17 60 to
$18 50 for steel or $22 to $23 for Iron, as to
quality, poin t of delivery. The quotations
on scrap iron are: No. 1 railroad scrap, $21 00

in tho interior, $21 30Q22 00: $1415 for best
machinery scrap, and $1617, delivered, for

Buying at Cincinnati Is Steadily Increasing
With Advance In Prices.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO Tin DISrATCH.l
Crxcisx ati, May 29. Rogers, Brown & Co.
say: The buying inclination has steadily in
creased tho past week. largo orders havo
been placed and buyers have been willing to
pay an advanco of 25 cents per ton, and in
some cases more to secure deliveries through
to the end of the year. This applies to
Southern iron. In Northern brands, par
ticularly those made from lake ores, prices
for tho late deliveries aro no higher than for
early shipments, and in some cases" aro
lower. This is especially tho case with
Bessemer irons. Several car works have so
cured additional contracts and are increas
ing their work. Thero has been more in
quiry for iron from this source than for
many months past.
onarcoai irons nave soia ireeiyana exnmic
n firmer tendency. Leading Lake Superior
furnaces are now .holding firm to $18 00 cash
at lower lake ports. In tho case of iron pipe,

demand, but still below the normal. Wo

The Heavy Sales In Chicago for a Week Tast
Take a little Drop.
Chicago, May 29. Bogers'Brown Jfc Mer
win say: Tho heavy buying In tho Chicago
district is beginning to drop off somewhat,
many of the leading concerns having covered
their requirements, running over a period of
from 6 to 12 months ahead. Notwithstand
ing this, tho week has shown some heavy
sales of local coke irons, ,thcso being to a
largo extent on behalf of the agricultural
imnlemcnt makers. Good sized inauiries
continue to come In, coveting both largo and
small sized lots, for deliveries t ell scattered
ahead. The leading brands of Lake Superior
charcoal are now being held quite firmly at
$18, Chicago, and many buyers are covering
their requirements on this basis, recognizing
that the extremely low figures are passed
which ruled some 30 days ago. On Southern
coke irons prices arc firmer. Furnaces of
this district are indisposed to book contracts
for long-scattered deliveries, believing that
better figures will rule later in the summer
than those now going.

of dairy products markets havo been slow

tho choicest creamery can find buyers at

of new Ohio cheese reported a week ago,

a shade higher than last Saturday, and
strictly fresh stock is scarce. At tho fish

in a Blaze of Eed light.
OFFICE AHD STEEET NEWS AND GOSSIP
Notwithstanding tho backset given real
estate by the strike in tho building Trades,
property Is moving faster than the majority
of people think. The lot market is active
nnd even large properties aro being picked
up every day, as reports in this column
show. Among tho transactions consum
mated yesterday was the purchase by Mr.
Joljn Steele, of the FreoholdBank.of ablock
of211otsin tho new town of Kensington,
fromMr.B.F. Rafferty, He paid regular
list prices, with the usual discount for cash.
In tho same town Mr. W. C. Stewart sold for
the owners eight lots In block No. L to Dr.
Alter, of Parnassus, for $4,83S 63 cash.
Agents Aro Innocent.
Somo people entertain tho notion that real
estate agents make a habit of circulating re
ports of big deals that never materialize as
a means of booming tho market. This Is un
just to as conservative a class of business
men as can be found in tho city. Thero is
always considerable tall talk of prospective
transactions of great magnitude, but it
originates among outsiders. Go to a real
estate agent for particulars, and he will
quickly tell you thatho knows nothing about
the matter concerning which information is
sought. If anything, agents err on the other
side by withholding information in regard
to sales actually consummated, generaUy on
tho ground that publication would injure
other business in the samolocality. Agents
nro not boomers. It is to their interest to
keep values down as much as possible to
facilitate sales. Still, they are just to
owners, and in most cases get better prices
for property than they could, and dispose of
It much quicker.
Great Building Operations.
Work on a number of large "buildings, In
tho central part of tho city, which has been
suspended on account of tho strike, will bo
resumed as soon as the trouble is settled.
Owing to the lateness of the season, how
ever, many important structures, for which
plans have been prepared, will go over until
next year. Among these may be mentioned
the Thaw and Vandergrift buildings on
Wood street, tho parochial school In Alle
gheny, a bank building and a business block
on Fourth avenue, n large office building on
Fifth avenue and. two four-story apartment
houses. There nro more great building
operations under way or in contemplation
than at any previous time in tho history of
tho city. This gives tho outlook an exceed
ingly rosy complexion. i
Business News and Gossip.
A Fourth nvenue real cstato broker has
been authorized by a Chicago gentleman to
purchase a site in this city for a first-class
hotel.
Liggetl Bros.'havo opened a new plan of
lots at Kensington. It contains a number of
fine manufacturing sites.
Tho latest about the Wilkinsburg station
is that it is to be removed to the other side
of the railroad and a larger freight house
built.
Baltensperger & Williams will have an
auction sale of lots on Mt. Washington to

was a surprise to the trade. McKeo and
Tracey know how to turn on the steam, and
when they put their heads together some
thing generally comes of it,
A $10,000 lot of Birmingham Traction bonds

CASH IK GOOD SHAPE.
Jay Gould Thinks tho Prospect Is Very En
couraging Local Features.
The local money market presented tho
usual features yesterday a good supply of
funds, moderate discounting and liberal de
positing as a result of good cash sales.
Good paper was placed at 5G. Time loans
were quoted nt 67. A cashier remarked:
"Rates are pretty low owing to the abund
ance of money, but I think nothing is doing
in a regular way below 5. Talk6f54J2

verification."
Tho Clearing House report shows that while
exchanges for tho month were over $10,000,
000 less than those for May, 1890, they were
nearly $1,000,000 greater than for tho corre
sponding month In 1889. It should bo re
membered In this connection that May made
tho best record of any month last year, with

The weekly statement of the New York

crease, $23,300. The banks now hold $7,523,12o
in excess of the 25 per cent rule.
Jay Gould says of tho financial outlook:
"I consider the prospect very encouraging,
and this is the general view of the situation.
Tho gold exports, in my opinion, havo been
discounted, and the money we have sent
abroad may later causo something of a boom
over there. It has already had a very bene
ficial effect in relieving apprehension. Tho
foreigners have been greatly impressed by
tho seeming ease with which we havo sent
out $50,000,000 of gold, and now have no
doubt that wo could send them $50,000 000
more if they should have need of it. When
a man knows he can get a thing if he wants
it, ho usually feels less anxious altout get
ting it."

BUSINESS GIVEN A BOOST.
The Best Day of the TVeek Several Strong
Features and No Specially Weak Ones
Electric and the Tractions The Under
ground Cable Boom.
Stock trading yesterday, although it was
the last day of tho week, was of larger vol
ume and was characterized by more vim and
buoyancy than for a longtime. It was not
only the best day of tho week, but the best
of the month Tho range showed a broad
ening tendency, and values doveloped a
great deal of inherent strength. The steam
was of local production, as New Y'ork was
weaE ana Lonuon, nitnougu a little oetter,
was still on the anxious seat.
The strongest featureswero Underground
Cable, Wheeling, Manufacturers' and Phila
delphia Gas, Arsenal and Fourth National
Banks, all of which added f ructions to points
to their credit. Tho strength of Under
ground Cable was said to be duo to tho suc
cess of the ne wmnnagement. Under the old
organization the stock sold around 50 or 55.
It sold yesterday at 70. It is understood
that the buyers are identified with the com
pany, or are so close to it as to know what
they are doing.
Electric was dull but fractionally stronger
in the face of a general belief that Monday's
meeting would result in nothing defiuito so
far as it might affect the reorganization
plan. Final action will no doubt bo post;
poned until more stock is deposited. This
seemed to be the interpretation of Mr. West
inghouse's latest public utteranco urging
stockholders to make an" early surrender.
Few doubt that the plan will be adopted, but
when is the question.
In this connection tho following from tho
Boston Traveller is pertinent: "The weak
ness in the electric stocks at the present
time is very naturally the topic of more or
less comment, but it is due more
to the unsettled condition of the
general market than to any tin.
lavorable condition of tho electrical busi
ness. Tho Westlnghouso reorganization
plan Is making slower progress than Had
been anticipated; but a limit for the deposit
ing of the stock will bo fixed soon, and then
there is little doubt but that it will come in
more rapidly."
The street railways were firm, with Bir
mingham a shade higher. Investors, while
not wanting faith In these securities, are
disposed to await the outcome of competi
tion, motor power, etc., before taking hold
of them in a wholesale way. Tho various
systemsnre working as well as could be ex
pectedj"consIdering that everything is new,
and that experience must como of practice.
Mining stocks had no active support and
submitted to slight concessions.
The Northern Pacific Railroad, In which a
large number of Western Pennsylvanlans
are interested, has begun to .buy preferred
stock ont of the proceeds of the Manitoba
land decision. Tho directors have set aside
$1,000,000 to bo invested soon as appears ad
vantageous, and n committee of two nas been
selected to attend to the purchases.
Thero is no improvement in the demand
for copper. Home consumers buy only as im
mediate wants demand, and export interest
is confined almost wholly to furnace ma
terial. At 13 cents there aro free sellers of
Lake Superior ingot, and it is rumored that
some of the mining companies have sold at
a fraction less to consumers direct.

APATHY ON WALL STREET.
ONLY THE SMALL PROFESSIONALS
FIGURE IN SPECULATION.
A Favorable Bank Statement tho Occasion
of a Drive Instead pt an Advance The
Selling of Louisvillo and Nashville a
Prominent Feature.
NewYokk, May 2a In tho stock market
to-day tho professionals still had the making
of prices In their hands, the public and the
larger operators holding aloof with no Im
mediate prospect of resuming their Interest
In the1 market for somo time to come.
There was onlv one, featnrn nf nnnnl.il lm-
Lnottapco in the tradlBc of the day. and that-
was the seUingof Louisville and Nashville,
which was attributed 'to orders from Lon
don. This theory, however, does not meet
with general acceptance, and that ,tho ma
jority of selling ortlcrs had their incoption
on this side of tho Ocean seems mosf prob
able. The bank statement showed, as expected,
a material increase in tho surplus reserve,
which now stands at tho highest figure for a
long time; but this was made tho occasion of
a sharp drive at tho whole list of active
stocks, and further depression followed what
should have been the sustaining element of
tho day. The utter apathy .of tho larger
operators was indicated by the occurrence,
and it appear.4 that no interest Is sufficiently
interested In the market to defend its hold
ings against the attacks of tho traders.
The drive at Louisville resulted in a loss
ofoverSper cent, but while the entire list
sympathized with the decline In nrfcase was
the movement for more than a small frac
tion, even in 8t. Paul, which resumed its
lead in point of activity. In polnt'.of the
stooks mentioned, however, there was no
animation in the market for more than a few
minutes nt a time.
Abcut $3,000,000 in gold was taken to go out
in to-motxow's steamers. The bearish oper
ations oftbo trading element, which leaves
the impression that this week-marks tho
culmination of the movement in gold, sus
tains the confidence of holders and prevents
liquidation from aiding in the downward
movement in stocks.. Commission pecplo
are not disposed to give nny" prognostica
tions as to the probable course or prices, and
the waiting attitude assumed by tho leading
operators is regarded as; the proper one to
imitate.
A "Weak Opening and a Decline.
The opening was weak at only small frac
tions lower than tho closing figures of last
evening, but the lDwnwnrJ movement in
augurated at the opening was continued
with but slight interruptions for the greater
portion of tho day. .Specialties suffered, and
Pacific Mail was weak all tho way out. The
Industrials, represented by Sugar, woro also
specially weak, but the fluctuations" In tho
rest of the list were generally confined to
tho smallest fractions, while the dealings
were devoid of -featuro ofany kind. Tho
covering of shorts put out earlier in the
week caused a fractional rally after the low
est prices of the week had been touched in
most of tho active stocks. The market
Anally closed dull to firm at the improve
ment, leaving most stocks at fractions Delow
lastovenine. The lmnortant losses include
Sugar E.&N. Missouri Pacific 1 per
cent.
The operations in railroad bonds wore
more restricted than usual, tho sales reach
ing only $450,000, but thero woro a few ma
terial changes;-whlle the great majority of
the list -were kept statonary. Chesapeake
and Ohio, Series A, lost 2X2ik; Toledo, Ann
Harbor and North Mlohlgan firsts, at, 131,
while Denver City Cable lists roso 2J4 to 101;
East Tennessee, 6K to 03W.
The exports of specie during the week
amounted to $473,602 in gold, of which $4,633.
2G2 went to Europe, nnd $67,800 to South
America. Tho imports of specie amount to
$85,609, of which $34,401 was in gold, and$51,208
silver. Lnzard Freer shipped $2,000,000,
Hcidleback& Eichlehelmcr $SOO,000,and "Von
Hoffman &Co. $300,000 to-morrow. Included
amount. The shipments to-morrow go as
follows: By La Bretagne, to Paris, $1,750,000;
Aller, to London, $750,000; lUmbria, to Liver
pool, $350,000.
The Bears Tavored.
JbhnM. Oakley & Co. received tho follow
ing over their special wire: This has been a
dull day, but such business as there was
favored bears". Tho facts of a good bank
statement and bad European crop reports
and that the trunk lines and fake Unes had
agreed to restore rates were more than
nutrallzcd by'tho announcement that about
$2,800,000 gold would go out to-morrow. The
weak point was the same as yesterday,
Louisville and Nashville, which was S0I4 on
the report that It would 'either lower Its
semi-nnnual dividend or pay it in scrip.
St. Paul and Union Pacific were also lower
than for several days. There was more
strength in Chicago Gas and whisky than in
almost any other specialties. There was a
spasmodic bull rally just before the bank
statement camo out, but traders were dis
posed'toplay the short side. Large operators
and the public were not "In it." The bank
statement was a -nleasant surprise to the
bulls for it showed an Increase of $2,311,000 in
the reserves, leaving tne surplus now over
$7,500,000. Tho loss In specie was $930,000. but
the gain In legal tender was $2,117,000. '
There are a eood manv bankers and flnan-
cial'obsorvers who say tnat in their opinion
we shall not get hack next fall much of the
gold that we have been exporting. This idea
is not based upon the expectation that
Europe will not owe us for importation, but
rather upon the feeling that the great Euro
pean bankers will surround their gold by
restrictions' that "will make-ija export difli
cult. This is probably true! but tho best an
swer to this mode of reasoning Is that not
withstanding the reluctance of British,
French and.German banks to let gold go to
Russia it has gone. Gold is like water in one
respect, it finds it natural level and a tem
porary damming up does not prevent an
ultimate equal.
Evidences continue to multiply tnat the
shortago of crops on the Continent is becom
ing a practical problem to French and Ger
man legislators. A lowering of the duty on
corn was yesterday recommended by an
almost unanimous vote of tho Berlin Cham
ber of Commerce
Our farmers are going to be in a position
this season to reap a harvest from their
fields and from foreign pocketbooks. Anti
railroad legislation, and all of the hobbies of
the Farmers' Alliance will melt away In the
presence of big crops and high prices.

Cotrxniv Produce (Jobbing Prices) Friday
is usually the big day of-the week- with
produce men. This has not been a good
Friday according to reports, but a fair vol
ume of business was transacted. Old pota
toes of good quality have taken an upward
turn, and our quotations are advanced in
accordance with facts. Now Southern pota
toes are tending towardn lower level. Straw
berries aro plenty and oheap. A very fine
quality,was sold In a jobbing way to-day at
12o per box. Homo-grown berries are ex
pected for Saturday's market, and willbring
20c a quart. Bananas aro coming In freely
of late, but prices are fairly well maintained.

A DAY FOR SCALPERS.
A Tendency Manifested to Even Up Trades
Oats and Corn Dull and Featureless But
Little Life In Provisions Last Business
Day in May.
CHICAGO As this was the last business
day of the month, and as traders were not
inclined to extend their lines of open ac
counts to bo carried over till Tuesday, the
day's business was largely in tho nature of
a big "scalp." In anticipation of this state
of affairs the representatives of New
York houses and somo local dealers
provided themselves with "call3" in
wheat last night, $1 01K to $1 02, nnd "set out
at the opening this morning to hoist the
market tor the "call" prices which they
stated carried July from $1 00J from the
start up to $1 0i;. From $1 01 up tho sales
were greater than tho demand from fright
ened shorts could absorb. Tho result of the
attempt to get tho market to tho call limits
wasa failure. Tho heavy weight bears soon
saw through the game and thereafter to the
close sold freelv whenever it rallied. July
sold off to $1 00K. then rallied to tismi,
broke to 99Jc and after a few fceblo rallies
to $1 0OV or thereabouts, bung very close to
M00.
Tho news sent In early was calculated to
advance prices, but its effect was soon lost.
It was said tho German Government had
about conclnded to reduce import duties on
wheat by fl cents per bushel, and thero were
reports irom tne jonnwesi 01 ury weainer.
Later advices, however, told of, liberal rains
in North Dakota last night. St. Louis wired
that receipts from Knnsa3 for the next 20
days would bo large. The Kansas advices
were that the crop outlook was raw. There
were reports of largo taking abroad by to
morrow's steamers, but there were also good
exports of cereals. Near tho close the arith
meticians figured it out that there would be
a large decrease in the visiblo supply, and
in is sent tne prices up xo i iak.
The trade in corn was largely local, and
thoro was a tendency toward evening up
trades. Tho consequence was a dull market
during mott of the session with narrow fluc
tuations. July opened at 54V51Kc, sold up
to 55c, on buying by short" reacted to
54c, on tho break in wheat to 53c,nnd closed
a shade lower than" that, Oats were dull
and featureless.
Provisions were dull but firm. Tho fluctu
ations in oork covered a range of 17KC clos
ing lOfflKKo. higher than yesterday. Lard
closed at ocand ribs 54S7V40 hiebcr. There
will bo no session of the Board to-morrow or
Monday.
Tho leading futures ranged as follows, as
