rniDAT. June 13.
Raw Iitox axd Steel Trade during the
week lias been good, particularly -when it Is
borne iinnind that we are within one week
of the 1st of July, the time for taking stock
end making necessary repairs. Informer
rears stocks in June were allowed to run
down o as to have a limited amount on
Land during time of suspension. The fact is
stocks were unusually small in the hands of
consumers on the first of the present month,
with a deficiency on hand, compared with
same time last year, of 205,003 tons. This no
doubt, opened the eyes of consumers, and
caused them to enter tho market and make
their arrangements for the fall trade, hence
the June sales up to date were the largest
for a long time, some extending several
months, in the future. The demand for gray
forgo -was stead v, sales of standard
brand being liberal at an advance
compared with prices that governed
the market earlv in the month. Prices in tho
Shcnango and Venango valleys have been
xrn!l imiinrniiiod. in nwnv instances ruling?
above thiwe that governed the Pittsburg
market. The
June Sales in the Valleys
were the largest for some time. Bessemerpig
lias been the great feature in our market.
Last week we noted the fact of liberal pur
chases by large manufacturers of the raw
1 material. This no doubt caued consumers
to investigate the situation. Tho result was
largo sales of Be--emer for spot, July, Au
gust and September deliveries, and some
Slocks, running until January, 192. The le
sult of the movements asa firmer market
and an advance in prices. At the ame time
there are furnace-, that are holding out for
higher prices, refusing to accept the present
figures. Mocks ot iron in this market are
quite limited.
SorTiii.it Inox There is vfcry little de
mand for this kind of material. We heard.
of a .ile amounting to 1 000 tons at prices
lullyo cents, below those that governed Pitts
burg made iion. Kcport says a number
of l urnaces u ill start up in a short time.
A verv conservative iron man has this to
fjv: "Favorable reports since the first of the
month cannot bo repeated at tho present
time a ithout some reserve. Business is cer
tainly very much better than it was during
the jfrst lour months of tho year, and there
is no indication that there is going to be nny
seriou- set back, but the heavy increase in
the output of pig iron is likely to crush any
lurthei movement toward higher prices. At
the same time there is no cause for despond
ency. A largely increased demand has been
confidently anticipated, and there is nothing
to show that these views were not well
founded."
The Steel Situation.
Steel Rails Tr.ide remains practically
unchanged. Orders are coming in slowly,
with sales at the mills, f. o. b., $J0. Skclp
iron, sales were largo during the week; nar
row and wide grooved advanced: sheared
showed no change. Muck bar in fair de
mand; prices maintained. Steel slabs and
billets, a liberal amount of sales being re
ported at various prices. Bessemer pig, the
alliance noted in our last was maintained;
t-pot very scarce. Ferro manganese, Eastern
dcliery -weaker; domestic, Pittsburg, un
changed. Scrap material jreaker. Old rail
iron dull. Steel in better demand, particu
' larly long lengths.
The Latest The week's sales show that a
large amount of raw iron changed hands,
tales ot mill iron, graj forge and Bessemer
exceed 40.000 tons, tilth prices fuiily main
tained. Uesscmer ranges from $1G 0J to
?16 3D; gra furve, Southern, $13 75; standard
grade-, fll UJ'4 25; muck bar advancing;
blooms and billets held firmly. The outlook
for the close ot tho first six months is a
favorable one.

A SPISIT OF DULLNESS
Still II01 ers 0 er tho Southern Iron Mar
ket, With Xotlilns Hopeful in SighU
Bibmioham, Ala., June 19. The condition
of the ircn niaikct continues to be a very
'r dull and monotonous topic. One day the
"brokers are encouraged to hope for a speedy
'".1 change by a small flood of orders, and tho
next they settle down with the feeling
that the uullucss has came to stay ell
fcuuur.cr. The situation may be described as
one where everybody counts it good fortune
that prices go no lower. In tho meanwhile
furnace owners are pushing production and
selling the product at shades below the
quotations. Stock arc not increasing and
tho output is moving freely, about 75
per cent going "West and North, about 15 per
cent to the Atlantic seaboard and the bal
ance to Southern interior points. The Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company has the larg
est stacks In the district.
Quotations f. o. b. at the furnace are as
follows: No. 1 foundry, $12 0012 : 50; No. .2
foundry. $1112; No. 3 foundry, $10 5011 00:
grav forge, $9 7310 00. At thoM furnaces
in the district, G are out of blast, 4 for re
pairs, 1 in litigation and 1 awaiting settle
ment of a difference between lessees and
some minor stockholders. Kates on bar iron
have been decreased 2c per 100 pounds to nil
Northern and Western points, taking effeot
Juno 18. Tho cause of the decrease is not
stated bv the railroads here. The new rato
is 12o nef 100 rounds to Cairo; 21c to Chicago;
15c to St. Louis; 3ic to aU Missouri river
points.
The coal trade is sustained by the
enormous consumption of coke, which con
tinues larger than at any poriod in tho
history of the district. Many of the smaller
-mines have added coke oven plants, and this
continues. On July 1 the contracts between
the minors and the large operators are to be
renewed. There is nothing on the surface
now to indicate that any differences will
arise, though the minors meet here in State
convention on June 27 to consider the mat
ter, and the outcome will be watched with a
good deal of solicitude.
R0 CHANGE PERCEPTIBLE.
The Philadelphia Market Itemains in Pretty
Much the Same Condition.
SrECIAL TELEOKAM TO THE DISPATCH.
"Philadelphia, Juno 19. With the excep
tion of a slight irregularity in several lines
of tho iron trade, the market continues in
much the sanie condition as reported a week
ago. Tho most Irregularity exists in the pig
iron market, and it is probably due to the
increased output. Few new orders have
been placed for steel rails, but mills are
running on full rime on orders received
some weeks back, and which aggregate
a neat round total. The general outlook
continues favorable, and $30 is the bottom
price for all rails. The demand for struct
ural material continues to Improve, and
mills arc quite busy filling old orders and
many new small ones which are constantly
being placed. There Is no line of the trade
in which the outlook is more favorable, as
there is quite a good deal of new business
developing. We quote (delivered): Angles,
2.03g2.10c; sheared plates, 22.10c! tees, 2.5
2.6c; beams and channels, 3.1c for either iron
or steel.
Boiler platesare In good demand, andmtlls
have about all the nork they can handle
during the summer months, fiome new busi
ness has been contracted for. but it was
generally for small lots. Prices are un
changed, but are somewhat firmer than a
week ago, and have a tendency to advance.
We quote for lots delivered: Tank plates. 2(ffl
2.10c tor iron, 2.052.20c for steel; refined, 2.20
r2.30e for iron, 2.0V!?2.10c for steel; shell, 2.30
2.40e for iron, 2.402.50c for steel; flange,
3.203.30c for iron, 2.502.75c for steel.
There is no regular demand for old rails
and prices arc liable to change with every
transaction. These prices are entirely nom
inal $21 0021 50 at furnace or $22 0022 50
at interior points for iron, and $17 0018 00
for steel. The same condition may be said
to prevail in the scrap-iron market. There
is little doing and not much business in
sight. We quote No. 1 railroad scrap at
$20 5021 00 at Philadelphia and $21 0022 00
lor delivery at mills In interior; No. 21lght,
$15 0016 00; best machinery scrap, $U 00
15 00; ordinary du, $13 00H Ok old car wheels,
$16 0017 00.
A MUCH BETTEB DEMAND
In the Cincinnati Market Shows Business to
Be Improving There.
Cin-ciskati, June 19. Rogers Brown & Co.
tjpy: Steadily increasing output nnd steadi
ly growing demand are now the features of
the situation. Stocks on Junjl were at the
lowest point since December, 1889, but since
the beginning of the month a large number
of furnaces in the North have resumed blast,
and more will follow soon. Withnn average
demand from the mills and foundries, it will
taken heavy increase of make to supply
legitimate needs, for it must not bo forgot
ten that in April and May the rate
of production was only about half
the rate of consumption of 1890.
A large number of furnaces, therefore, may
blow in and still not reach tho normal pro
ducing rate. Railroads are not expected to
do anything in tho purchase of material
until the July interest is paid. Then it is
believed there will be a greatly improved
demand from that source. The general de
mand is undeniably better. Rolling mills
arc expected to run light in midsummer, but
they appear to be doing a fair amount of
work lor tho season. A great deal of quiet
but wholesome liquidation is undoubtedly
going on. We quote for cash f. o. b. Cincin

THE CONDITION AND OUTLOOK;
A Spurt of Activity in Stocks, With Two
or Three Promising- Boomlets.
OFFICE AM) STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP
Several transactions of more or less im
portance to people interested in real estate,
which means every man nnd woman in
Pittsburg and outlying districts, were con
summated yesterday. Robert p. Elliott,
Chief of the Department of Public Charities,
sold 75 feet and improvements on Highland
avenue, to Emmett Queen, the well-known
oil man, for $25,000. James Craig purchased
through S. A. Dickey A Co. a house and lot
on Holland street, near Center, Wilklns
burg, for $6,500. The lot is 100x300. Mr.
Craig will occupy the place as a residence.
John Hawkins, of Hawkins Bros., bought a
vacant lot, 76x120, on Aldor street, near
South Highland avenue, for $4,500. He will
improve it with a handsome residence. G.
W. Jones, of the Pittsburg Bank for Sav
ings, purchased a lot on Murray Hill avenue,
Ardshiel terrace, a short time ago, upon
which he Is erecting a fine residence for him
self. George Ormond purchased six lots
near Beltzhoover, for $3,700, and will com
mence building on them as soon as the strike
is settled.
A Good Outlook.
While the real estate market is in good
condition for the season, and with a strike
in progress which touches it on every side,
there is to be found in the financial situa
tion good reason for expecting an improve
ment. Money was never more abundant in
Pittsburg than at this time. This is well il
lustrated by tho promptness with which
purchase money mortgages are being met.
That owners have confidence In the future
is shown by their refusal In nearly all cases
to make concessions, and, on the other hand,
the large number of transfers shows very
clearly that buyers, as a rule, have aban
doned the notion entertained by them early
In the year, when monev was scarce, that by
holding off they would be granted better
terras. The outlook for real estate is en
couraging when looked at in its true light.
The Petroleum Industry.
In the course of an article on petroleum
production of tho United States, based on
the census bulletin, the Journal of Finance
remarks: "It is useless to attempt to fix a
limit to the development of such an in
dustry. The supply of oil is certain to prove
capable of indefinite expansion to meet the
growing demand for consumption, and the
use of petroleum goes on increasing rapidly
in the United States and in foreign lands.
In spite of the enormous development of the
Bussian oil field, the exports of petroleum
and petroleum products from this country
gain steadily. In 1890 nearly 650,000,000 gal
lons valued at over $51,650,000 were sent to all
parts of the world from American ports, and
when it is considered how many hundreds
of millions of Europeans, Asiatics and
Africans still burn much Inferior materials
for lighting, it can be seen at once how vast
and unbounded the expansion of the great
petroleum industry of the United States is
likely to be in tho next few decades."

AIRBRAKE AND PITTSBURG TRACTION
MORE TO THE FRONT.
The Former on the Declaration of a Good
Dividend, and the Latter on Consolida
tion With the Duquesne Improvement
All Alone the Line.
Tho local stock market yesterday was full
of good features. Not only was trading com
paratively active, but the range was wider
than for some time and most t the leading
stocks stronger. . .. ,
Tho announcement of a 6 per cent divl-
rlond lnrthp AtrlnHilrfi enmnanv was SUnl-
cient to send tho stock up a point and a half.
It opened nt 9 sold at 96, and closed at
A sale 'was reported
vaj$, wiiu mo asKea,
aOo,. rnll at'OdX
Pittsburg Traction also experienced a little
boom, advancing from 32K at the openingto
33 at tho close, with none In the market. The
improvement was due to the semi-official
nature of the report that consolidation with
the Duquesne had been effected, and that
the two systems would soon operate under
one management. There is no longer a
doubt that some agreement has been entered
into by these corporations. Duquesne stock
advanced toUSU bid, without bringing any
of it out. Anyamountof Birmingham could
have been marketed at 20. Second Avenue
improved half a point.
A broker with exceptionally good sources
of information said: "There is something
f;oing on in Manchester Traction. I have it
rom the best authority. Just what the
movement Is has not been divulged, but It
probably involves tho purchase of the re
mainder of the minority stock."
Electric was dull but steady. Mr. West
inghouse's announcement that the meeting
called for Tuesday next would be adjourned
for two weeks to glvo more time for the sur
render of stock, although not unexpected,
was a bear card. Mr. Westinghouse broke
the force of the announcement somewhat by
stating that almost. 100,000 shares had been
turned In, and that the two weeks' more
time asked would be sufficient to secure the
90 per cent required.
There was no essential change In the
natural gas group of stocks, except that
Manufacturers' was bid up a big fraction.
Hidalgo mining was stronger and Luster
steady. Underground cable was a shade
weaker.

Financiers Report the Money Market in
an Easy Position.
At the local banks yesterday business was
quiet with nothing new in conditions.

dations were moderate. Discount rates

There has been a deal of abatement in the
anxiety regarding the monetary outlook for
the fall. The great losses of gold and the
fact that enormous crops will have to be
moved later on in the year contributed to
this feeling of anxiety. Notwithstanding
the gold outgo the banks will be in a bettor
condition apparently to meet tho demand
than a year or two years ago. The Western
banks are in an especially strong condition.

MORE GOLD SHIPMENTS.
WALL STREET SURPRISED, BUT BEAR
THE NEWS WELL.
Stocks Hammered Down by Spurts, Each
Attack Being Followed by Intense Dull
ness An Improvement Toward the
Close Silver High Bonds Are More
Active.
New York, June 19. For several days there
has been persistent reiteration of rumors
that gold was likely to go out this week, and
to theso assertions the tendency In exchange
gave some probability; but the reduction In
the Bank ot England rate, and the generally
better feeling and conditions on the other
side, were lelt to be against such a move
ment, and while there was the usual hesi
tancy about buying, no new ventures were
started.
To-day, however, the street was treated to
the surprise of the taking of over $2,300,000
for export by to-morrow's steamers, and
stood the surpriso very well. Tho fact was
made, as was to be expected, the opportun
ity for a bear attack upon the leading specu
lative stocks, but there was no long stock
brought upon the market: and, while tho
lack of support rendered the marking off of
prices a comparatively easy matter, the
movement was spasmodic, and the most in
tense dullness marked the trading tafter
each drivo. The movement is felt to lie only
the remains of the one gone before, and,
while tho possibility, and oven probability,
of further exports from time to time arc
acknowledged, no apprehension as to the
state of the money market is now felt from
the consequences of such movement, while
the favorable conditions, both at home and
abroad, are continually kept in mind, and
the usual conservatism is shown on the part
of holders.
The strength in Silver was also to-day an
influential lactor in sustaining pricesthe
revival of speculative interest in tile metal
taking some of the edge off the loss of the
gold. The stock market, however, was even
narrower than usnal of late, and outside of
the half dozen stocks which now monopolize
attention, the movements during the day
wero entirely insignificant. Among tho
leaders, however, losses of from to Vyi per
cent were sustained. Theso stocks include
St. Paul, Chicago Gas, Louisville, Atchison,
New England, Rock Island, Wabash pre
ferred and Wheeling and Lake Erie pre
ferred. The opening was dull and steady, but the

shipments of gold spon started selling by
the professionals, and more animation was
accompanied by a persistent decline, which,
however, was made in spurts and followed
in every case by increase dullness. The
market showed the effect of the covering of
the shorts, put out earlier in the day, in the
final dealings, and a fractional rally took
place, which closed tho market firm at tho
Improvement. The final changes are gener
ally small losses; but .Torse Central and
New England are off 1 por cent each, while
Silver is upl
Railroad bonds were a little more active
to-day, the sales of all issues reaching $060,
000, and the increased interest was seen in
the firmer tone presented and which pre
vented any material change in prices
against the influence of the decline In the
share list. The only movement of import
ance was the raise in the Norfolk and West
ern 5's to 93 from 88V. The rest of the list
was quiet and held fairly steady.

Couutrt Pbodtct: (Jobbing Prices) Friday
as a rule is the best day of the week in this
line. The large amount of stock handled by
commission men for a day or two past has
drawn heavily on nsual Friday's trade, and
business is reported quiet. Home-raised
strawberries are now at their best and prices
are the lowest of the "season. Easpborries
have also found a lower level, as our quota
tions will reveal. New Southern potatoes
are coming in freely, and tendency of prices
is downward. Old stock Is close to the end
of its f areer for this season. Ohio cheese is
still in excess of demand, and markets are'
weak. Home-raised vegetables are steadily
supplanting the Southern article, and the
latter is of little force in this market.

Groceries.
The following from the New York .Price
Current gives the latest on the coffee situa
tion: "Brazil Coffee Country buyers are send
ing in a good many orders to cover imme
diate necessities. The trading is of a hand-to-mouth
character. Consumers must have
supplies, and these are bought in frequent
orders to take advantage of fluctuations iii
price. The market has little to support it;
the situation in Rio and Santos is quiet, whilo
tbe feeling In London and Havre is reported
firmer. Receipts In Rio for two days have
been 22,000 bags. The New York market is
nominal at Vl cents for Rio on spot. Total
deliveries for six days were 32,337 bags, and
total stock at three principal ports is 155,333
bags against 311,590 same time last year. The
total visible supply is 245,101 bags, in com
parison with 457,226 bags this date last year.
Were It not for the expected liberal receipts
in Rio, the home statistics wouldhave an im
portant bearing on the market.
In a speculative way there was a good deal
of unloading of long coffee on the pressure
to sell at Havre and increasing movements
in Brazil to the seaboard. The business by
days was as follows: Saturday, 20,750 bags
on a decline of 10 points for Angust, and
other months unchanged to 5 points decline;
Monday, 37,750 bags on a decline of 30 points
for September, and other months 20 to 25
points decline; Tuesday, 36,500 bags on 5
points advance for June, 10 points do July,
and other months 15 to 25 points advance.
Sugar is the uncertain quantity of groceries.
Dealers in general are of the opinion that
prices are at the bottom, and that now is a
good time to buy.

WEAK AND FLUCTUATING.
Wheat and Corn Suffer Much in the Early
Trading, but Improve Later in the Day
Bearish Weather and Crop News
Provisions Higher.
CHICAGO Wheat opened with an ap
pearance of strength, first sales of July
being made at 9494c, against 93c at the
close yesterday. The strength was only ap
parent, however, and was due to the bidding
of a few nervous speculators, who had mag
nified tho importance of the wet weather
damage In the winter wheat belt where har
vest is in progress. .All of the conditions
were against them. Cable market reports
showod lower prices for spots and
futures at Liverpool and for cargoes for
prompt shipments at London.
A series of private cables from the princi
pal wheat market centers of Europe was
shown around. These cables reported im
proved crop prospects everywhere; said that
French importers had already bought more
grain than the situation warranted, which
seemed to account for the sharp drop in
prices yesterday, and that 1,500,000 bushels
were lying in hulls off the English coast, for
which there wee no bidders. Further
more, tbe weather map showed but little
rain in Kansas, indicating that the harvest
there would soon be resumed, and the break
in stocks consequent upon the continued
gold exports assisted in the decline.
The local feeling was bearish and the sell
ing pressure quickly overwhelmed the little
coterie of buyers. Within five minutes of
the opening Jnly.sold at 93fc. At this point
came reports of serious damage to the crop
in Kansas by floods and heavy rains, a good
inquiry for cash wheat here, chiefly for
direct export, and large export clearances
from the seaboard. A French cable also said
that th e Chamber of Deputies had agreed to
the measure for the reduction of the duty on
cereals, fixing the date at July 10. As this
wns a compromise' between the Chamber's
wish for an immediate reduction and the
action of the Senate fixing the time at August
L It was thought it would pass the Senate.
Sellers having been prethy thoroughly
bailed out, prices quickly began to react.
Early shorts commenced to cover, and there
was considerable investment buying. There
was a change in sentiment and an advance,
with various minor fluctuations, to 94c.
Then the market became weak on free offer
ings, and became lower and weak on English
cables and the decline reported at Paris,
Berlin and Antwerp, and sold off to 94c;
coverod to 91Kc, nnd closed at that.
Corn showed little strength for the first
minute, and July sold at 565Gc, but every
body seemed to have selling orders, and
holding off. Tho result was a surprising
weakness and a rapid decline, July dropping
to 54c in less than ten minutes after the
opening. It followed wheat to some extent,
but the possibility of warmer and clearing
weather was, also, a weak factor. In the
break good buying commenced; shorts cov
ered freely; investment buying was gener
ous, and wheat selling up, corn followed.
The moderate rccelrJts for to-morrow ware
rfavorable, and there was an irregular ad
vance to 56Kc. Then the price broke to
5Jc, from which there was a recovery to
56Vc at the close.
Oats started at 36c for July; broke off In
sympathy with corn, and soon touched 35c,
but subsequently reacted to 36c, broke to
35Kc, reacted to 30c, and closest at 3oc.
Provisions opened firm, September pork
selling at $10 CO, but fell later to $10 50. Then,
when corn and wheat advanced.it sold to
$10 70, dropped to $10 62, and closed at
$10 65, a gain of 10c over yesterday. Lard
and ribs gained 5c each.
