Friday, June 5. J
Raw Ijtozi asd Steel Trade sinco our last
was reasonably active. The volumo of bust
nes shows up well and will compare favor
ably witli lormer seasons. Prices for cer
tain descriptions are weaker, but for others
bare been fairly maintained, Pittsburg
furnaces have only a limited amount of iron
for sale: others refine to accept orders, pre
lerring to deliver blocks previously sold.
The sales of shenango and Mahoning Valley
iron lor some weeks past have been liberal,
including many extending for several
months, and 10,000 tons Bessemer extending
all 1531. Trices in the valleys have been well
maintained, being fully up with Pittsbnrg
lor Bessemer, and gray forgo. We learn,
from, an authority that can be relied
on, that a number of furnaces will
be started during the next ten days.
What effect this will have on the market
value of iron remains to bo seen. It may bo
that the increased consumption will keep
pace with the increased production. Thore
is a decree of steadiness, however, which is'
certainly encouraging, when retake in tho
situation at other points together with the
financial depression.
A Miiluinmer Room May Come.
As a general thing, June is not a very ac
tive month, the first of July being the time
set to cloe for stock-taking and repairs and
necessary arrangements for the balance of
the year. On account of so many furnaces
closing down for want of coke early in tho
season some are now making ready for re
sumption, and will, no doubt, continue in
operation as long as prices will justify. In
that event July will witness only a partial
closing this year. All accounts agree that,
stocks ot leading descriptions of iron being
limited, the prospect for lower values is not
very favorable; besides, prices are as low as
Kin reasonably be expected.
A leading dealer lias this to say: "Local
mills ha o" increased the amount of orders
on their books, andat the extreme low prices
recently ruling nave tne oner ol still larger
amounts. But it is felt that, having quite
enough to carry them through the present
mouth, it is just as well to wait develop
ments, especially as there is no margin lor
profit at prices offered. The collapse of the
coke strike is regarded by many as inimical
to higher price lor iron.'
Consumers claimn reduction in coke and
ores, and although there is nothing definite
so lar the chances seem to be in their favor.
Iron ore continues to be sold at last week's
guotations, but several furnaces are still
olding oil' and only buying what is neces
sary tor immediate use, 'From this it would
seem the expect low er prices to prevail.

A PAIS ETO OF BUSINESS
In tbe Cincinnati Market and a Much Larger
O utpitt Is Expected.
ISriXIAL TELERKAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Cixtixxati, Juno 5. Rogers, Brown & Co.
pay: There is no doubt of the prevalent feel
ing among consumers that the end of the
coke strike means a largo addition to out
put, and that this will prevent an advance if
not cause actual lower prices. This keeps
back the large buying movement that might
naturally be expected to follow a longperiod
of light purchases. But there are some who
remember many striking proofs in the iron
trado that It is the reverso of what is ex
pected that happens. It is a fact that ad
vancing markets often accompany rapid in
crease of production and growing reserve
stocks, while decliningstooksandproduction
below consumption will not prevent steady
decline in prices. Those who govern their
course by the logic of statistics, therefore,
very often get left.
There has been a fair run of orders during
the week, some of them for extended de
liveries. Contracts running to the end of
the year aro usually maae at about 25
cents per ton above prices'for immediate
or early delivery. The Mahoning furnaces
ere not yet and will not be for some
time In positloii to get the benefit of new ore
prices, as tho docks are loaded with ores
bought last year and all paid for. These
must be worked up first. The expected con
cessions "in coke have not materialized,
though rumors aro heard of contracts at
$1 65. The railroads also are slow to give
tho relict usked Tor by the association. Only
a few furnaces have yet blown in. A recent
trip through tho South shows unusual stocks
at nil the leading furnaces.

A BATHER QUIET WEEK.
The Close Money Market Is Having
Its
Effect on Buyers at St. Louis.
TSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
St. Louis, June 5. Rogers, Brown nnd
Meachcmsay: The iron market has been
rather quiet during tho past week. The
Birmingham coko furnaces are all pretty
well sold ahead and haven't any large stocks
on band. They claim that the consumption
at present Is larger than the production and
they look for! higher prices soon. Under
ordinary circumstances wo would evidently
see higher prices than at present, but on ac
count of tho close money market buyers
hesitate to supply themselves further than
for immediate or early delivery. Wo quoto

r6PECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCH.
Bikmikgham, Ala., June 5. There has been
practically no change In tho iron market in
this district for more than a month. Pro
duction continues heavy, tho demand un

as follows: Xo. 1 foundry, $12: Xo. 2 foundry,

This is rather below any previous quota
tions, though sales have all along been made
at shades under the market by furnaces
whose stocks showed an undue tendency to
pile up. Brokers, however, arejust now in
a more hopeful frame of mind on account of
inquiries becoming more frequent. Coal
production is large, with constantly increas
ing shipments to the gulf ports.
A LULL AT CHICAGO.
Quiet Reigns There After the Heavy Buy

rSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.
Chicago, June 8. Rogers, Brown & Merwln
say: The Chicago market shows somewhat
of a lull after the heavy buying which was
done during tho month of May, many of the
large consumers having covered their re
quirements for from 6 to 12 months ahead.
Good sized Inquiries, however, are still
coming in, showing that a liberal amount of
business is still pending.
As to prices. Southern coke irons are firm
nnd the furnaces of this district are indis
posed to make contracts for long deliveries,
wanting special figures where such deliveries
are insisted on. On Northern iron, both
coke and charcoal, prices remain pradtically
unchanged.

REALTY PICKED UP.
Valnablo Down-Town Bnsiness
Plant Changes Ownership.
DEALS Iff SHADYSIDE DISTRICT.
Capitalistic Drift Toward Real Estate Shown
by Recent Purchases.
SPECULATION AND BUSINESS HINTS
An important transaction Involving a valu
able business plant was consummated yes
terday by J. B.Larkin& Co. They sold for
E. SI. McNnlty the real estate, stock, ma
chinery, etc., of tho Pittsburg Show Case
Company, whoso office and waroroomsare
located at 51 Ninth street, and tho factory
at'31, 33and35 Vickroy street, Sixth ward.
The consideration was closo to $25,000. This
is regarded as the best equipped plant of tho
kind west of tho mountains, and it made a
great deal of money for its founder and lato
owner, Thomas McXulty, deceased. ,
Tho Shadyside district has furnished a
number of good real estate items in the last
few months, showing an active movement in
that quarter of the city. Yesterday it pro
duced another. Charles Somers & Co. sold
for John A Graner to Samuel II. Wadstill a
residence property sltnated on the corner of
Walnut and Bellefonto streets, lot 37x137,
with one brick and two frame houses, for
$10,000 cash.
The Capitalistic Drift.
It has been mentioned in this column moro
than once that prominent capitalists and
business men were showing their faith In
Pittsburg real estate by picking it up wher
ever they could find It at a ralr price.
Among investors of this class may be men
tioned Captain Vandergrift, E. II. Ferguson,
Colonel Schoonmalter, George H. Bennett, T.
D. Mersler, H. C. Frick and others.
The sale of a property on Second avenue,
near the Central Hotel, for $30,000 was re
ported last week, but the name of the pur
chaser was omitted. It was learned yester
day that Jlr. H. C. Frick was tho lucky man.
In this connection it may be stated that an
other property in the same locality is about
changing hands at a price approximating
$40,000, the probable purchaser being a Wood
street banker.
As further showing tho capitalistic drift
toward real estate, The Dispatch representa
tive was vestordav shown a letter just re
ceived by a prominent broker from one of
the Drexels, the well-known Philadelphia
bankers, which was in effect an order to buy
a piece of downtown property, presumably
for banking purposes.

THE M0NETABY SITUATION.
Surplus Funds Will Come Handy 'When
Crops Begin to Move.
While the absorption of money by borrow
ers is on the Increase, denoting a broaden
ing tendency of trade, thore is a large sur
plus of loanable funds in this market. Such
was tbe report of several bankers yesterday.
They added that if the crops turned out as
expected thero wouldnccessarily be a heavy
trade movement in the fall, which would
onng into use agreai ueai 01 money.
In this view of tho caseaccumulations will
serve a good purpose, as a 'shortage at the
time when crops must be marketed would
inflict great injury upon the farming inter
ests and restrict operations in other busi
ness lines. A surplus is a good thing to
have, especially in times when no ono
knows what may happen. There was no
change in rates, which were easy at 5K6 on
call and 67 on time. Checkingand deposit
ing were up to the usual levet Exchanges
footed up $2,003,407 55 and balances $45S,202 31.

MORE backbone: to BUSINESS ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE OCEAN,
But. Traders Still Hesitating Some Good
Features and No Very Had Ones The
Future of the Tractions Electric Litiga
tion Sugar Trust Fight,
Although there -was more doing on tho
Stock Exchange yesterday tho volume of
business was small, amounting to only 105
shares, and little opportunity was presented
for the room traders to amass wealth. rce;
changes in all cases were forfractions and or
no special significance. .,
Outside advices indicated that a reaction
had set in and that European affairs were re
turning to their normal condition. London
prices were strong and higher, with St. Paul
tho leader. In New York, while trading was
slow, prices were firm and tho leaders well
held.
The .stocks showing Improvement were
Manufacturers' nnd Wheeling Gas and Un
derground Cable. Tho docllnes were Air
brake, Central Traction and Electric.
There was the usual gossip anent the Trac
tions. The Duquesne people were repre
sented as saying they would make satisfac
tory time as soon as they could get their
machinery in working order, and nlso that
they were indifTerent whether the Pittsburg
Company resorted to tho use of vans or not.
A passenger on a Duquesne car said it cov
ered a distance of seven miles in 32 minutes,
including stops. .
There are two elements to bo considered
In coming to a conclusion regarding the fut
ure of these properties and tho present valne
of tho securities. One is tho possibility of
dcvelomnent. In makinir nn their minds
about that investors are all on a level. They
know Pittsbnrg's past; if they have lively
imaginations they mav guess something" of
Pittsburg's future. Tho development of
Pittsburg means tho development of these
street railway properties. The business of
these properties must inevitably go on in
creasing; and it is likely to go onatapaco
that will astonish even those people who
mav now be called enthusiasts.
The suit of the Edison Electric Light Com--
Einy against tho United States Electric
Ightlng Company, now on trial, has been
pending for sereral years. There aro seven
printea volumes of testimony. Tho present
caso is really a question between tho Edison
Company and the field, asa decision in favor
of plaintiff would throw tho entire manu
facture of incandescent lamps into the hands
of the Edison Company, and give it royalties
.estimated at $2,000,000 a year for the unex
pired term of the original patents. Thero
are at least 50,000 incandescent lamps manu
factured every day.
Thore is a big fight among the sugar peo
ple about tho dividend. One party wants it

ON WALL STREET.
It
Prevents the Kxpected Advance In
Stocks Tho Market Professional Again
A Boom in the Newly-Enlarged
Whisky Trust Helps the General List.
New York, June 5. The stock market to
day seemed to have fully digested tho Rock
Island dividend affair, but renewed gold en
gagements were against it, and tho promise
of an advance shown last evening and dur
ing tho early trading this morning was not
fulfilled. The influence, however, was, as
usual of late, exerted in tho direction of a
depression of trading, rather than a depres
sion of prices, though the resultant dullness
offered the usual opportunity of profes
sionals hammering a tuw leading stocks and
specialties.
Thero was apparently no effort to hold
Rock Island up, and with Burlington in
closo attendance, it settled away to about
the lowest figure of vesterday, though the
rest of tho railroad fist, including St. Paul
and Louisville, which were active, wore
kept within narrow limits throughout the
day, and presented no feature whateverin
dicating tho prevailing apathy among fec
ulators. In the market to-day, the Industrials at
tracted as much attention as tho railroad
list, with one or two exceptions, and while
tne expecteci aiviaenu in sugar naa no
power to ndvance the ririco, further realiza
tion on yesterday's improvement sent it
down again nearly to its late lovel. The ab
sorption of tho rival distilleries in Chicago
by the Whisky Trust helped that up a little,
but the realizations were afterward as
marked as in the other case, and little was
gained during tbe day.
The opening of tho market showed a con
tinuance of the covering operations of yes
terday, bnt the movement went no further
and a general decline was made in the early
trading, in which both railroad stocks and
Industrials shared, although, except in
Sugar, thero was no material loss incurred.
The West then began to buy its favorite
Industrial, and Chicago Gas started upon
an unward movement, which lasted throuch-
out the remainder of the day, and which in
the late trading succeeded in bringing to a
limited extent the general list along with it.
Rock Island was a wcakfeatnro throughout,
though tho concession from tho best
price was no moro than the rally from
tho lowest of yesterday. Sugar on the
realizations lost about 2 per cent, which was
not made up during the day; although the
strength of the last hour did much to re
cover the loss. Chicago Gas was carried
from 51 to 55, and It closed only a slight
fraction below the best figure. The general
list, however, was brought only to about the
level of the opening figures, with tho single
exception of Wabash preferred, which was
exceptionally strong throughout. The close
was lairlv active for tho leadiuir shares and
firm to strong at the most insignificant
changes. Chicago Gas is up 2lA per cent, and
Wabash preferred 1 per cent, but the other
final changes aro of no importance.
Railroad bonds weie dull and showed, in
tho main, a weak tone, though final losses
are generally on the some scale as those in
the sharo list. The business of tho day
reached only $467,000, and no special anima
tion was to be 'noted in any portion of the
list. Duluth and Iron Range firsts lost 2, at
97, and Norfolk and Western 6s 2, at 114.
The following table shows the prices of active
stocks on the New York Stock Exeliangcycsterday.

Couxtry Produce (Jobbing Prices) Re
ceipts of strawberries were large to-day, and
the quality was fine. The demand proved
fully equal to the supply, and very few were
left in tbe hands of commission men at noon.
Cherries aro in good supply and demand is
fair. New potatoes are coming In freely
from the South, but quality is not the best.
Choice old potatoes aro growing scarce and
prices are advanced, as our quotations will
disclose. The good old potato which has
survived thus far Is preferable to the new,
if the demand is a criterion. Choice cream
ery Is firm at tho advance, and nil common
nnd.low grades aro dull. Country butter is
worth whatever it will bring. Eggs that are
entirely reliable are flrnvnt outside quota
tions. Poultry continues to como In freely,
and prices are tending downward. Porto
Rico pineapples of extra size and flrst-class
quality are selling at $25 per hundred.

Groceries.
Sugars have eased np of late. Tho reason
for this is that retailers stocked up freely a
few weeks ago, when it was thought that
prices were down to hard pan. Coffee is
quiet at the decline noted in this column
yesterday. There is a free movement of
staple groceries at prices quoted.

GRAIN FLUCTUATIONS.
Corn Is the, Strongest feature, Being Con
trolled by n Bull CUqne Cable News
Control fhe Whea Market Light Trad
ing In bats and Provisions.
CHICAGO The fluctuations In wheat
were confined, to narrow limits to-day. July
practically sold-at 08J9SJj;c all day, though
it ranged as'high as 99e and as low as 98c
on another occasion. There- was but llttlo
freshnows from outside. Cables told of im
proved crop conditions in Russia; quoted
Liverpool prices higher, London unchanged,
Paris easier and lower. ' Estimates by some
authorities were that the Government crop
report; due tbe loth, wonld show a shorter
acreaga than In 1884, when the total crop was
512,000,000 bushels.
The early weakness was due to offerings
and light outside demand. Tho reaction
which followed, and which carried prices to
the highest point of tho day, was attributed
to firmer cables nnd tbo working of cash
wheat here for export. Some bear news was
received from New York. Shippers were
nnxlous.to relet ocean Tpom on account of a
falling ,6ff in the demand -for grain. This,
together with-weaker continental markets,
caused a reaction to bottom prices near the
close.
Tho corn market appeared to bo In the
control of nbult clique. It was weak at tho
start; then advanced sharply, and was then
beaten down by soles by local operators.
The clique then began buving, and speedily
put the market' beyond the early figures,
assisted .by the fhorts, who ran to covor.
July started t 57KWkc, touched 57c, ad
vanced to 6c, receded to 57c, but rallied
to 53Kc, deoUnlng agpln to 57c at the close.
Trading-ln oats was rather limited. Prices
were gQVrned largely by the flnctuntions
in porn August and September were in
good demand-
Provisions' wra easy t the outset because
tUe receipts of hogs wore larger than antici
pated, The strength in 'corn caused an im
provement later, bpt the trading was at all
times quite light and fluctuations wero con
fined to n moderate; range. The September
option at the close showed an advance of
20 for porlcsinea yesterday. In lard there
was no change, while ribs were 5c up.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as
