"While it is stated that $24 50 has been ac cepted for a year's contract from July to July, it is unquestionably true that a lead ing Pitt-burg seller has withdrawn $25 and is now asking $26. There is a movement on foot to place the whole soft steel trade ou a better looting. So far as we can learn thcirm l to organize an association similar in its scope and in its methods to the Rail Association, in order to carry the price up to ;C0 and distribute the territory. One rail mill ha- already agreed to sign an agree ment not to make soft billets. A further heavy ino ement in wire rods is reported from the West. It is stated th.it tHe stock of wire nails has been very rapidly absorbed, and that the trade in barbed wire keeps up remarkably it ell for the season. So far as the export wire trade is concerned, the ex piration of the barb-wire patents will throw open to American makers the Australian rnaiket, which was reserved to the English and German licenses.

A Crisis in the Scotch Steel Trade by the Stoppage of Tin Plate "Works. SrECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TI1E DISPATCH. New York, June 25. The foreign metal markets are thus reported by the Iron Age: In London speculation in Scotch warrants has been quiet and prices liaifc undergone little change. The only new feature is a rather better demand from there for forward deliv ery. At that center they seem to have adopted a waiting policy, and little can be done in the way of outside speculative in terest. There has been somebuyingof Cleve land and hematite warrants for out side account, on the strength of which prices movea up on Tuesday to 42s 4d and 51s 9d, respectively Shipments ol cotch pig are still light. There are now ev bcotcn lurnaces m blast, but makers Rtntc that prices for iron are unremunera tivo and production is running behind the consumption. The stock in Connal's stores is now 514,000 tons Scotch and 134,000 tons Cleveland. To-day's -trading in warrants at 47s47s 2d lor Scotch; 42s for Cleveland and 51s 3d for hematite. The market for old iron is better. There is more inquiry from both home and export buyers and stocks are very small. A crisis is threatened in the Scotch steel trade, owing to the closing down of tin plate works." Smelters are now offering steel blooms at X5 per ton. The tin nlate market is dull and prices are unsettlod. Ordinary Uessemers have been offered at 13s 9d. The steamer Servia, w hich sailed on Friday, took the last lot of plate that will be shipped to tho United States for entry at the existing j-ate of duty, and the market is now settling down to the new order of things. Buyers aro disinclined to enter into engagements pending the outcome. The stoppage of mills for one month will com mence on aturdiy next, when 44 woiks will clo'-e. Between now and September 26 others w ill cease work. The tin market has leen lcatureless. Prices aro well main tained. Tho majority of the stock here is in strong hands and the consumption is good.

It lias a Buoyant Effect on "Wheat and Corn "Widen More Than Offsets Bearish Foreign Cables Later Depression Fol lowed by Jlecoierj Provisions-Weak. CHICA GO First .sa:cs of wheat this morn ing wcic made at immaterial changes from the olOMiig prices of yesterday, but the feel ing was decidedly strong for a time, fchorts covcicd lieely, the offerings were meager andpr.tes went up rapidly, gaining about c in a few m.nutes. This strength was in the lace )f weak cables, and wab due almost entire.y to wc.Uier conditions in the South. - 3 ; west. Ita'.us w ci e reported in Kansas. There had been a phenomenal downpour as well ns destruet:on by floods in Northwestern Iowa. The onelnnat: Jnce Current, in jts summary of crop eoiuitlons. reported impairment in some 'ectioi.s by reccntrjilns, and especially in Ijjuws and .Missouri. In addition to this iteorbciliia sent a telegram reporting tho wheat cion ,n Jlur-sia us being injured bv almost trop:cal heat. Tho weakncs lii foreign markets did not show any alarm on the other side In consequence of this, but local shorts were made nervous onaocount of it, when taken in connection with other adverse news. On freo covering by shorts and some in vestment buying the advance above noted was easily brought about, but after tho most urgent buyers had filled up, the advance camo to a halt, sellers became more .numer ous, prices commenced to wobble and finally broke, but this was followed by a recovery. Late cables showed a considerable decline in prices at Paris and Berlin. July closed yesterday aDd opened to-day at 92c, ad vanced to 03c, broke to 92c, closed at 93c Corn was also very Btrong for a time, though the first transactions were at a shade below yesterday's close. Tho renewal of bad weather in the Southwest, and heavy rains in Nebraska and Iowa, together with tho bnoyancv in wheat early in the day, all contributed to develop strength and started ehortsto covering on an extensive scale. Later, when the estimates for to-morrow were posted, showing a prospect of heavy receipts, the market began to break and the weakness was increased by the break in wheat, which commenced about the same time.

BUSINESS STANDS AT A PREMIUM. A Large Crowd Attracted by the Sale at the Auction Board 600ms. FEATURES OP LOCAL SPECULATION Thomas McCaffrey has bought for Bishop Phelan as trustee two lots in the Sixteenth ward, with improvements of no great value, having a frontage onPearl street of 120 feet, and running back 125Teet, for $13,500. It is understood that tho outcome of this deal will be a handsome church, for which there Is said to be a pressing necessity In that quar ter of the city. Real Estate at Auction. Promoters of the scheme to establish a Real Estate Auction Board in this city were greatly encouraged yesterday afternoon. The announcement that Samuel W. Black & Co. would offer a chSice selection of prop erties at tho board rooms attracted more people than could be accommodated inside and the overflow occupied the hall and the yard. In the throng were noticed a number of prominent business men, showing the deep interest taken by this class of citizens in lands and houses. About a dozen prop erties were offered. Bidding was lively at timesbut as the offers were below the views of holders no sales were effected. Having broken the ice and demonstrated that the people want property, and would as soon buy it at auction as at private sale, the suc cess in time of the Real Estate Auction Board seems a foregone conclusion. Business Stands Needed. "While tho people cannot pay too muoh at tention, to suburban homes, which are the pride and glory of Pittsburg, they should not overlook the fact that improvement in the business center is even more Important. Business is paramount in this community, and its expansion should be encouraged in every possible way. All that is necessary to accomplish this end is the erection of a large number of stores and warehouses, the sup ply of which, as everybody knows, is far be low actual requirements. The city has everything else to attract capital and labor. A number of enterprising business men would locate here at once if they could get suitable stands. Homes are necessary, but business is the first consideration. It sus tains the home. So, while the suburbs aro being built up and beautified, equal consid eration should bo given to the business Quarters of the eitv. and provision made by" putting up new buildings and remodeling old ones to accommodate all who desire to establish themselves in this hive of Industry and participate in its prosperity. A Word for Wood Paving. The theory that wood paving for streets Is unhealthful and that the decaying-wood produces disease has obtained In this coun try up to the statistical revelations of the last census. Mr. A. C. Dannor, of Mobile, a practical lumberman of large experience, who has been studying the last census re ports, calls attention to the fact that the vital statistics of cities of the United States, compiled from returns made by health offi cers of the respective municipalities, show that the lowest death'rate per thousand of ahv cltv reported in the United States is that of Duluth, Minn., the rate there being only 9.17 deaths per 1,000 for, the year 1890. Duluth is paved entirely with wooden blocks. The cities of Boston. New York and Chicago, all paved largely with wood, show a comparatively low death rate. Pennsylvania Railroad Business.

Confidence Still Reposed In the Natural Fuel Street Railways Doing a Land Office Business Comments on the West- inghouse Circular A Reorganization Scheme. The event of yesterday on the local Stock Exchange was the unloading of a 400-share block of Philadelphia Gas stock at 12. This, coupled with the report that another lot of similar size had changed hands at private sale at 12," would with most stocks have been a strong bear card and caused a break. That "Phila" withstood the pressure and hung close to the market shows that it is in good shape and has sufficient backing to keep it on its feet. There are but few who have lost confidence in the staying ability of natural gas. The Tractions were characterized by a weak undertone, although holders saw no reason to mako concessions. It was stated that the Pleasant "Valley dividend would be ready on time. The Duquesne Traction did a heavy business Wednesday night hauling people to Highland Park. A broker re marked: "This is one of the strong points in favor of the Duquesne. Touching almost everywhere, it will get the bulk of tho local exoursion travel. 1 understand the company is making special arrangements to carry people to Schenley Park on the Fourth. Every car at command will be brought into use." A Birmingham official reported a heavy run of business. More cars will be put on In a short time. In fact, all the roads appeared to be doing about as much as they could attend to. Under such circumstances dividends should not be in doubt: Electric showed no material change for bettor or worse. Some of the brokers viowed the cixcularof the "Westinghouse Reorganization Committee, limiting to July 8 the time in which stockholders may turn in their stock under present conditions as a threat, but others regard it as a business move to hasten the conclusion of the deal, upon the success of which the entire value of the stock depends. It is simply a choice between reorganization and. a receivership. The Boston Herald of Wednesday says: "The holders of -upward of 93,000 shares of West-' inghouse stock have now assented to the plan of reorganization. This Is an amount sufficiently large to warrent the putting of me man into operation, i no question win oe settled at the next meeting." It Is announced that the National Tube Works will be reincorporated under New Jersey law, with a capital stock of $11,500, 000, one-half 7 per cent preferred stock. Holders of the present $3,003,000 capital will receive three new shares for one old, one half preferred ana the balance common. Of tne Daiance or stock $i,ico,uoo win oe usea to take up the stock of the Monongahela Fur nace Company and $1,050,000 to take up tho $600,000 stock of the Republic Iron Works, and $165,CO0 to' take up the $150,000 stock of the Boston Iron and Steel Company. The National company claims a surplus of some $5,000,000 and annual net earnings of $1,000,000 to $1,200,000. The $3,000,000 stock has been receiving 3 per cent, quaiterly, besides subscription privileges. English parties have sought to buy out the works, which are the largest producers of wrought iron pipe in the world, but the monetary reverses abroad interfered with the English pro gramme, and tho management concluded to distribute the plums to its own shareholders. Tho Tamarack, Jr., copper mine is show ing rich ground in the second level north, the direction in which the most ground lies. The June product of the Tamarack mine Promises to exceed the large "May product, ho Osceola mine will probably produce 3,i50,uuu pounds oi pure copper in tne nrst half of 1891. Superintendent McLaughlin telegraphs that he started the large furnace at the Santa mines last Friday. The com pany has furnace capacity of 300 tons per day. The Butte and Boston Company is ap plying the full income of the silver branch of its mining to develop that branch, and most of the money is spent in underground work.

A Falling Off at the Clearing House The Silver Question. Business at the local banks was very quiet yesterday. Clearing House exchanges Jell below the $2,000,000 mark for tho first time in several months. This was attributed to the unsettled condition of labor, and indicates apprehension of delay in settling the Iron scale. The aggregate was $1,907,267 21. Bal ances were $467,644 20. Rates underwent no change, and ruled steady at 56 on call, and 67 on time loans. Eastern exchange was a shade easier, though still at a pre mium. The Wall Street Ifews says: "We do not pay any attention to the theory that England is accumulating gold in the anticipation of an naoption oi rue silver sianuara nere, ior tne very good reason that a very large percent age ot our railroad obligations is explicitly made payablo In gold coin. If there was any foundation for this theory a distinction would be made between bonds payable in lawful currency and bonds payable In gold. Undoubtedly purchasers have thus discrim inated in some measure, but the difference has not yet been made apparent by even a fractional difference in the quotation for bonds based upon equal security; one pay able in legal tenders, and the other in gold coin."

STAGNATION IN THE STREET. BULLS AND BEARS BOTH HOLD THEIR GROUND STUBBORNLY, But the Stock Market Continues Listless Sugar the One Strong Feature, but Has No Effect on Other Snares Short-Lived ForehjrfSelling. New York, June 25. The two parties in the stock maiket, if there may be allowed to be two parties, continue to hold their ground undismayed, and the market continues to stagnate, while the onlymotion to "bo seen is the Slow settling down which is the usual accompaniment of snch a condition of affairs. To-day's market was only a con tinuation of the term of stagnation, being equally dull and listless with those which have preceded it for the last month or there abouts. The opening was made on a somewhat larger volume of business than that of yes terday, but thn increase in animation seemed to bo entirely the result of the ap parent selling for foreign account, which made first prices all slightly lower than last night's figures. The, foreign selling, how ever, wns more apparent than real, and tbe Influence which It exerted soon passed away, leaving the market in the same old rut of dullness and utter stagnation, broken only by the strength in Sugar) which rose 1 per cent on light transactions. The charac ter of the trading in Sugar, however, pre vented its being of any influence upon the rest of the market, even among the other in dustrials, and prices, with here and there unimportant exceptions, remained at the same dead level throughout the day. The statement of the Pennsylvania Rail road for May had no effect one way or the other, and was seemingly in line with the general expectation as to what it would be. The market flnnlly closed as it had been throughout tho day dull and stagnant at in significant changes from last night's prices. Railroad bonds were dull, as usual, and presented the usual lack of feature, though there were some marked changes from last Saturday recorded. The trading reached only $493,000. The final changes were gener ally in the direction of lower figures. Tne following table shows tbe prices of active stocks on the New York Stock Exchange yester day.
