The Prospects Are That 1891 Will Be a Poor Tear in-This Line. STATE OF FOREIGN HETAL MARKETS t6PECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE MSFATCn. New York, July 2. The Iron Age reports tile condition of the iron and steel markets of the country as follows: " American pig The market is still very quiet and Xorthern fnrnacemen generally hold prices -well. Even small concessions are not made for very desirable orders by makers of standard brands of foundry iron. Northern brands are quoted at $16 7518 00 for No. 1, $16 0016 CO for No. 2, and $14 00 14 .V) for pray forge. Southern iron sells at $16 25(5:17 25 for No. 1, $15 5016 25 for No. 2. $15 7516 50 for No. 1 soft, and $14 0014 50 lor pray forge. Spiegcleien and Ferro Manganese Some business has been done lately in spiegel eisen. An Eastern steel mill has purchased a round lot of foroign, and another works has taken 600 to TOO tons of domestic all at private terms. German 20 per cents can be laid down at $27 50, -while English commands Tnorc. Ferro manganese is quoted at -$04 00 A 50 for $0 per cents Billets and Rods Tho Eastern billet mar ket is firmer, in sympathy with the West, where billets cannot now be purchased at less than $25 50. Rods aro quiet in the East, nd ma be quoted at $58 at tidewater. Steel rails Instructive conclusions may be drawn from the flsrures of railroad mile age built during the first half of this year. Compiled by the Railroad Gazette. Our co temporary estimates that the mileage com pleted during the flrst six months was 1,610 miles, against 2.035 miles during the corres ponding period last year. Estimating re quirements at 90 gross tons per mile, tho consumption for new track was, roughly, 150,000 gross tons during the first naif of this rear, against 190,000 tons durinc the iirst half of 1S90. It is esti mated that the shipments of standard Tails during the first six months this year lave been 450.000 gross tons. Last year tho figure for the mills in the association was 713.205 gross tons or adding the Allegheny, new track from the shunts, we obtain a fair idea of the amounts taken for renewals. Last vra- during the flrst six months they were, therefore, approximately 585,000 tons. This year, during the same period, they have only been 300.000 tons. This gives numerical expression to a fact generally known and appreciated the fact that track repairs have been kept down to the low est possible point by tho railroads throughout tho land. Current repairs for the enormous mileage of this countrvare estimated to call for botween 900,000" and 1,000,000 gross tons as a minimum. In other words, the poverty of the railroads, or their nnxiety to keep net earnings at a respect able figure, have caused them to withhold necessary orders for rails to the extent of from 150.000 to 200,000 gross tons in Eix months. This business is, of course, onlv deferred. Tho burning question in the raft trade is whether it will come out wholly or in part during the next few months or "whether it is to hold over for another year. The indications thus far, it must be frankly acknowledged, are that the mills will not be called npon to roll more than a fraction of this delayed tonnage this year. It is even very doubtful whether the second half will get its fair quota of renewal work, which would be 450,000 to 500,000 tons. Nor is the outlook tor new mileage very brilliant. Indeed, it is a question whether the second half will carry the total for the year to 5,100 miles, which would call for 3,400 miles in the next six months. It is true that the great Western mills wero idle during the first part of this year.and therefore they are now rushed in making deliveries, so that the shipments of the first six months are prob ably below the average. But orders have been coming in very slowly dur ing tho last month, and inqnirios are on a moderate scale. While it is probable that the second half will be con siderably better than the first, the outlook Is not favorable for even as good a rail year in lssi as was 1S90, which was decidedly not nuue me : orage. uunng tne current week nosalesofanyconsequenceweremade by Eastern mills, which continue firm at (JO 75g31 00 at tidewater.

Wo iuote fish plates L70L80c, and bolts 2.65 2.80c Manufactured iron and steel A fair amount of work is coming up and the mills are moderately well employed. Bridge makers are still quoting very low figures, the withdrawal of one concern from the market, with a full order book, being fol low ed also by the appearance of other needy Fellers. The closing down by the struggle with the Amalgamated Association of two lla-stern mills is not likely to affect the mar ket materially, orders in hand being shifted lo others.

Email Sales of Pig Iron and an Extremely Quiet Tin Plate Ittarket. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISrATCH. New York, July 2. The foreign metal mar kets are thus reported by the Iron .Ipe.- The London movement in prices of pig iron war rants has been moderate, and the operations of speculators were on a small scale through out the week. Consumers buy Iron very bpanngly, pending the results of the quar teily meetings, and the shipping demand is tlow. Stocks of Scotch iron in Connal's btores keep remarkably even, being 513,000 tons against 514,000 tons a week ago, but the stock of Cleveland iron has increased from 164,000 tons to 140,u00 tons. There are now 72 fccotch furnaces m hla6t,an in crease of three since last advices. Latent sales of warrants were at 47s for Scotch, 41s Cd for Cleveland end 51s 6d for hematite. The market for pig tin has been quiet, in the absence of orders from America. Tired small holders hn-te liquidated to some ex tent, on ing to uneasiness caused by the apa thetic condition of the market: but the prin cipal holders, relying upon the sinallness of blocks, have done little. Conner lino nl.n ruled a shade Ion cr, owing to the quiet spec ulative demand and realizations bv small holders, together with sales of parcels in transit fiom Chile. This has encouraged aggressive action by the hear interest, although spot stocks continue to steadily decline. The tin plate market is extiemelv quiet. There ha e been numerous inquiries lor stock for Vugust and September deliv ery, but these are looked upon as being mere feelers, and sellers, therefore, declined to negotiate. Ordinary bcscmcrs, coke finish, have been quoted ot Lis at Swansea. At this date U) w orks have closed down, with a view of reducing stocks and helping distribution in the United States. This throws about 25.. 000 men out of work. The period of cessa tion of work depends upon prospective orders, no definite time having been arecd upon. " Metal Slarket.

It Causes the Dampening of Many Oiena in tho Coke Region Quite a Decrease in Shipments A Disagreement Between (he Large and Small Operators. ISrECIAL TELEGEAM TO THE DISPATCn.) Scottuale, July 2. The depression still continues in the coke market, though the prospects have been brightened by the renewal of the amicable relations between the iron men and their employes and the 9-' assurance that there will he no strike. Ship ments of coke last week wero fairly large, despite the fact that nearly all the works weie dampened down two days." The usual dullness of the iron industry at this season of tho year naturally causes a decline in the demand and operators aim to limit the uro ducticn thereto. The Frick, McClure, Xew iiiyer, Overholt & Co, J. W. Overholt, Hecla and United all laid their ovens Vr, P Ja-vs la5t woek and the samerule is likely to be observed this week ,r?,accf"""ortho scarcity of orders, the McClure Company shut down -57 ovens at Mayficd and 52 at Donnelly this week. It is nlso stat.'d that if there is not a material lllncnt in tho demsnd mora ovcs will be banked by the several companies shortly. The JUiney, Pennsville, Hagsett mid Jfr.rt.n firms are making full time, six days, and have all their ovens in blast. Thero is understood to be a little discussion going on between the large mid small operators. Tho latter claim to have an adequate demand for tho operation of their works six days, while the big fellows claim they should join them in laying idle one or two davs each week, as the case may be. The little fellows are persistent, anil have refused to yield. There are over 13.000 active ovens in the district. ThjS total num ber will be increased by COO ovens of Oliver Brothers, which are building. Shipments last week averaged abont 951 cars per day. The total decrease was 1,093 cars. This was the distribution: To points west of Pittsburg, 3,091 oars; to Pittsburg and river tipples, 1,764 cars: to points east of Pittsburg. 850 cars; total, 5,708 cars. This is the record of the previous week: To points west of Pittsburg. 3,729 cars; to Pittsburg and river tipples. 2.220 cars; to points east of Pittsburg, 851 cars; total, 6.S00. Prices are a s follows: Furnace coke, $1 90; foundry, $2 30; crushed, $2 C5. WILIT FLUCTUATIONS. AU Cereals and Provisions Go Up and Down Together A Very Bullish Open ing, Succeeded by an Equally Bearish Close The Scramble of Shorts. CHICAGO Wheat opened nervous and higher. The buoyancy developed at tho close yesterdav, and disquieting rumors as to impending manipulation, together with the higher public cables, gave the market a strong send-off, and during the early trading July sold as high as 94 cents, and December at 9 or from i to 1J cents above the highest figures made yesterday. Shorts were on the run and frantic in their efforts to cover. The big bears responded promptly to all calls for margins and kept right on selling. After a time bear news be gan to come in. Tho Cincinnati Price Cur rent' summary of the crop situation said harvest operations were progressfng favor ably, and that all indications as to tho big yield were maintained, while spring wheat prospects were all that could be desired. This was followed by the announcement of the failure of Alexander & Co., of London, large cargo dealers, who were said to have gone down owing to their heavy loses in long wheat. All this created a marked de pression, and the confidence of the bulls soon evaporated. Shorts had covered pretty generally, longs who had taken on wheat on the late depression began to unload, and the weakness soon developed into a regular slump, and July w ent off to 91c, while De cember broke to 89c. Fresh excitement sprang up after thenoon hour. La te Liverpool cables reported higher prices thero, and continental caDles were sensational, Berlin showing an advance of IJic per bushel in July and 3 cents in Sep tember and October, with Paris 2030 cen times up. The little shorts were stampeded. July was put np to 94c and December to I , rT JJaST rngl L"'6 'chwas at339.c for July and 910 for December. Corn w as excited and higher at the start. Shorts showed a good deal of nervousness, especially in July, and were anxious buyers, while there was little for sale. In the early scramble July sold as high as 50 cents, anil not much to the head at that. The feeling seemed to prevail that the bulls held tho winning cards, and the shorts hastened to make the best terms possible. There did not appear to be leaders in the bull move ment, but everybody seemed to be short more or less and frantic to cover. Little was offered for sale. September sold up on the early excitement to 5151Vc and split. Then came the tumble lit wheat, andthe most nervous shorts having bought what they wanted prices started down. This brought out the corn, and for a time it was a race to see who could sell the most in a given time, and July finally got to 55c and September to 50JJc The moderate carlots for to-morrow and the reaction in wheat finally-carried July back to 563c and Sep tember to 51c. There was an active de mand for cash corn, which sold to 60c, or nearly 9 cents premium on September and 3o over seller for the month,. The close was steady at 56 for July and 51o for Sep tember. The fluctuations in oats.were governed by those in wheat and corn. Provisions opened strong and higher.influ enced by grain, but later on large stocks, more hogs than estimated and the break in corn and wheat all produced a decline. Sep tember pork sold early at $10 50 to $10 55, broke to $10 35 and on the final bulge in grains rallied to $10 57, closing at $10 55. Lard and ribs followed the same general course.

FALLING HTO LDJE. Another Capitalist Shows His Faith, in Eealty by His Works. SOUTHSIDE VALUES LOOKING -UP. Remarkable Eeal Estate Tangle Reported - From Washington County. THE FEATURES OF I0CAL SPECULATION' A prominent coal operator showed his "faith in Pittsburg real estate yesterday by planking down $5,000 for a little over two acres in the Twenty-fifth ward, upon which he will build a fine residencenextyear. This is not his flrst deal in suburban land, and it is not likely to be his last, his idea being that it is-the best investment within reach. In speaking of this transaction a broker said: "Our capitalists are changing over from other things to real estate very fast. Having emerged from their, customary huonts long enough to note tho marvelous growth of the city and the substantial character of its im provements, thev have acquired a sudden fondness for lands and houses which will bear fruit in the near future. I could name at least a dozen of these men, but I have no authority to give their names to the public." Southslde Values Looking Up. The benefits of rapid transit are already being experienced on the Southside. Said a prominent business man yesterday: "it is , only about two weeks since the pokey horse cars were withdrawn and the electric sub stituted. The change has been beneficial to all branches of trade. Property owners are" considerably stronger in their views. A- piece adjoining my store was on the market p. month ago at about $100 a foot front. It could not be bought now for less than $125, and the owner is not anxious to sell at thai. This is a fair illustration of the prevailing sentiment. I look for a large number of handsome improvements on Carson street within the next year or two. "There is al ready talk of tearing down some of the old buildings and putting modern ones in their places. If we could only abate the smoke nuisance we would be supremely happy." A Progressive Place. Beltzhoover borough is not often heard of, but that does not chill the energies of its citizens. They are wide awake and fnll of enterprise and push. It is, in fact, one of the liveliest places on the Southside. Lots aro selling very fast and buildings going up In all directions. At the present rate of growth the surrounding hills will soon be covered with handsome homes. Lost His Identity. A real estate tangle, involving unusual complications, is reported from Willow Grove, Washington county. A man bought some land, and it was deeded to him as "Pierre Brugnier." Then he bought more, and in that deed tho name was "Pierre Bru gais." Then he sold off a piece, and in that deed his name is "Pierre Beurgener." To cap the climax, some of the property is 60 feet away from where it ought to be". A local real estate agent is at present wrestling with the puzzle, but it is likely the law will be re sorted to to settle who is who. Business News and Gossip. Bank paper requiring immediate attention should be looked after to-day, as to-morrow will be a close legal holiday. Work was resumed yesterday on a number of buildings in the Wilkinsburg district. A leading broker remarked yesterday: "This is a good time to go 'long' on any good stock. Abundance of money and good crops must elevate the standard of value. I look for a general advance abont the middle of August." John Hess has just completed five four roomed houses id Tylerdale, Washington county. There is trouble with tho electric cars in Washington, Pa. The Daily Reporter of that place says: "Tho test of cars on Maiden street made yesterday afternoon showed a lack of power sufficient to move three cars. The Electric Railway Company has fre quently tried to cany three cars hut always failed. The test made yesterday was with tho cars close to the power house; as the i power was insufficient there, it is insufficient nil along the line." , i ! .t,l It is stated thawdhn D. Rockefeller will fight shv of the stock market for a year to come. His health is poor. There seems to be considerable long Read ing stook waiting for a market. The Cigarette Trust is increasing its capi tal stock $10,000,000. Lots are selling briskly at Kensington, Glenmawr, Asplnwall and Elwood, anda good demand is springing np at Blaine. Where do all the lot buyers come from? No matter. They are here and their money talks for them.

HOME SECURITIES. JUST ENOUGH BUSINESS DOING TO KEEP THE MACHINE IN MOTION. Only FractlonaKChanges in Values Elec trlo and Pleasant Valley Move Up a Peg Mr. 'Westinghouse Still Confident A Champion of Natural Gas Talks. The unexpected might have happened on 'Change yesterday, but it didn't. Business might have been brisk, but it wasn't Still, there was enough to make a market, which is about all that could be expected so near a long holiday. Total sales were 192 shares, furnished by Electric, Pleasant Valley and Philadelphia Gas. . Price changes were unimportant. The natural gassers were sjlghtly weaker. In 1 tne street railway group. Pleasant vaney JWB.B fractionally stronger and the rest prac- iically unchanged. It was claimed the Man chester Company would have no trouble with the minority stock outstanding. In fact it was asserted that it was now upon record as assenting to the reorganization plan. Litigation may follow, but it is hardly probable. The unlisted tractions occupied their usual place in the quotations. The presence of some buying orders one for a 100-share lot wa9 sufficient to put Elec tric ud a fraction. The widely entertained opinion that the reorganization plan will be adopted at the next meeting, and the report that the works at AVilmerdlng were afford ing employment for 600 men, were the in spiring factors. Mr. Westinghouse, who has been in the city for some time overseeing his numerous interests, said the reorganiza tion plan was moving along all right, and he was confident it would be a success. A friend 6f natural gas said: "Bears on the stock are Instiflable in alleging decreased earnings. They are always down at this season of the year. But they have no au thoritv for saving that the'supply of gas is ncaring extinction. If it is nobody knows it. The companies have skilled men to watch that end of the business, and they are unable to discover any deficiency. The fact is, as I have been reliably Informed, there is a better supply of gas now than there has been for nearly two years, and, with a num bervof good wells in reserve and consider ably new territory to draw from, there is every probability of a fullsupply next fall and winter." The financial situation was more assur ing, although tho improvement was not reflected bv any of the stook boards. New York was dull and featureless. London was a little stronger. The Bank of England re duced its discount rate irom 3 to 2 per cent. The New York bank statement will be issued to-day, and it is expected that it will be even more favorable than that of last week.

Industrials Have the Largest Share of 'What Little Activity Remains North Ameri can the Only Feature Among Railroad Stocks Tennessee Coal Loses the Most. New York, July 2. The Bank of England this morning further reduced its minimum rate of discount of 2 per cent,hut the action, even in the absence of news of an unfavor able character, failed to stimulate trading in the stock market here for either domestic or foreign operators, and it seems to have again fallen into its old rut of extreme dullness. The opening to-day was slightly lower on account of some selling which was ap parently for foreign acoount, but the stocks with an international market were equally as dull as the remainder, and the downward movement made no further progress. Throughout the day the Industrials at tracted most attention, the uncertainties over the.dividends on Sugar -and Chicago Gas weakening these stocks a little, and manipulation of distillers advanced it 1 per cent, but immediately let it off more than it had gained. Among the railroad stocks, St. Panl, Atchi son andLoulsville led in the dealings, but in neither of them were the fluctuations of any importince, and only in North American was there anv movement whatever in the 'stocks which called for comment. The. approach of the holiday, of course, aided in making the market narrow to-day, but the situation promises an early and de cided improvement, especially in the way of earnings. The announcement that the 4 per cents will be extended at 2 per cent In sures a large increase in tho national hank circulation, which will come in time to pre-, vent any stringency in money during the movement of the crops. The Industrials and North American with Tennessee Coal wero the only stocks record ing movements of importance, and only in the last named was the final change for the day for a material amount. The market displayed a drooping tendency among tho leading shares toward the close, hut the close was generally steady and decidedly dull at close to flrst prices. The final changes, owing to the opening losses, are generally small Iosses,and Tennessee Coal Is down 1J per cent. Railroad bonds were a little more ani mated, and the sales of all issues reached $627,000, while no special activity was to be seen in any one bond. The tone of the deal ings closely followed the share list, and most changes are in the direction of lower figures. The following table shows the prices of active , stocks on tho New York Stock Exchange rester dav.

THE FIRST HOME-GBOWN POTATOES Office oir PrrrsBinio Dispatch, Thursday, Jnly 2. j CorxTBT Produce (Jobbing Prices) Strictly fresh eggs are very scarce in this market, and prices are advanced, as our quotations will disclose. Prices are relatively higher in Pittsburg than at other trade centers, and prospects are for better supplies before the week is out. Choice creamery butter i3 firm and common grades are dull. Ohio cheese is in excessive supply and markets are weak. New York stylo of cheese is fairly steady. (Jnality of Tennessee potatoes coming to our markets of late is low. Apples, too, are com ing in rather bad shape. The low price of new Southern potatoes is due largely to in ferior quality of offerings. Home-raised po tatoes have put in their first appearance this week, but are small. The season has been delayed several weeks by the cool, dry weather of May.

July wheat lias advanced about 4c per bushel and July corn about 5c per busheL The advance in Julv oats lias been 2c per bushel since June 27. Altogether the tone of cereal markets shows a decided improve ment.
