THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, FRIDAY, JULY 10, ' 189L ONLY URGENT NEEDS Are Beinir Looked After by Consumers in Turcliasing Iron. LITTLE ACTIVITY IN THE MARKET, Beyond What Affricultnral Implement Makers Are Creating. STATE OF THE FOREIGN" METAL TKADE rFPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCIl.l New Tons, July 8. The Iron Age reports tho condition of the iron and steel markets ns follows: Tig iron reports from consumers fronorally indicate unwillingness on their part to do moro than purchase for urgent require ments. Tho only exceptions aro ilio juauu factmers of ncricultural implements, who report a heavy demand, and some of whom nro in the mailcct for heavy blocks. Stove jnaDnfactnn-rs have not bought for some time, and arc expected to como forward later on for larger lot3. Machinery builders ate buying sparinslv. Little activity is expected at this season ol the yenr, and the dullness pievail ing is enuring no surprise. Low otferiiifrs have been laatio lately by at le-tst one repre sentative of .Vlab.mm interc-ts. the fijruro mmKd for No. 1 foundry bcinK SIS, on dock at New York. Malleable iron woiks iu this M-ction; have reccntlv placed orders lor cnnrroal iron, one lot of SOutons being taken liv a Micli'an inrnare on the basis of $17, Buffalo. It fc leported that even this low figure war- shaded 23 cents. Southern car wheel irons are nominally held at :J!S 00 jt furnace, but thcro is little question that $!T 09 would bo promptly ac cepted. Northern brands are quoted at $16 7T1S 00 for No. 1: $1G cgifi SO Jor So. 2, and 11 OOgiH SO for jrrav lorse.

Home Consumption Slow and Very Littlo Speculative Interest Manifested. rFrECIAL TLLr.CKAM TO THE DISPATCH. New Yoke, July 9. Tho foreign metal markets aro thus reported by tho Iron Age; In London tho movement in prices of pig Iron warrants during the past week has been narrow and the market is entirely bare of new features. There is no outside specula tive interest, nor any attention for outsiders to take hold, since home consumption con tinues slow and the C2rport movement mod crate. Shipments lat month were only 73 -COO tons, against 114,000 tons in June, 1S90. Stocks of Scotch pig in Connal's stores hat e decreased 1,000 tons to 7il2,OC0 tons but there Is a further accumulation of Cleveland pig, the total of which amounts now to 141.0U) ions. Latest Miles of warrants were at 47s for Scotch, 40s 9d41s for Cleveland and sis 3d for hematite. The demand for steel plates is somewhat better and the market is llrmer. Otherwise tho steel trade remains dull and featureless. The offering of old iron is very moderate at present, but the demand does not im prove, and while holders show greater firm ness, no advance on actual sales has been s-cored. Pig tin prices improved somewhat early in the week under the influence of free purchases by dealers and absence of cheap outside lots. A reaction subsequently took place, due to selling, prompted by the freer Eastern shipments last month arid increase of 3S0 tons in tho visible supply. Metal Market. New YoitK, July 9.

The Coke Market Shows No Visible Signs of a Very Early Improvement ISrECIAI. TELCCR M TO THE DISPATCH.! Scottziax.3, July 9. The coko market is still on the decline, and no immediate improve ment is expected, as midsummer is nearly here and the usual dullness will set in. Tho conditions surrounding trade are about as l.ivorable r.ov. as this time last year. A good fall trade is confidently looked for. The pro duction is still being restricted to tho de mand, and operations will not be on such an extensive scale this n eek as last. l"i iek'.s Eagle, Jloi-gan, White, Summit and Kvle Works w ill be off four days, w hile their other works -w ill laj' idle only one. 31c Clure's works will be banked one day, as will some of the smaller producers' plants. Itainoy will make six daj s and -n ill have a company in the Pennsvillc. Hogsett and ?laitinlirms. The demand is still tailing off and the rapid diminution in shipments continues. The number of active plants was increased thi week by tho resumption of the Churlotte plant of 87 ovens. The total number of activo ovens is over 13 -SCO. shipments hist -week averaged over t-50 cars per day. The total decrease was bOt c.irs. The lollowing was the distribution: To points west of Pittsburg, 2.CS9 cars; to Pittiburg and river tipples, 1,673 cars; to points east of Pittsburg, .40 cars: total, 5,104 cars. Thi- is the lecord for the previous w cek: To points w est ot Pittsburg, 3,094 cars; to Pittsburg and river tipples, 1,704 cars: to points east of Pittsburg, s"0 cars; total, 3.70S cars. Prices are unchanged as follows: Fur nace coke. H SO; foundrj-, $2 30; crushed, $2 C3. There w ill hardly bo any curly change in prices. GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

CHICAGO Wheat was dull and weak to day, and most of the business accomplished was of a local character. The prcponder aucc of nev, s favored the bear side. Liver pool reported prices Jd lower. London quoted caigoes to arrive within one month Sd lower, while those duo in two months were IslsCd lower. The weather through out the distilets wheie the harvest is in progress "was fine. The Cincinnati Price Current, in its weekly pummary of the crop situation, leported ail the iceent favorable indications fully main tiiinrd, ..r.d that threshing was being pushed by the farmers in order to get the grain quiOXiy to market so as to taKe auvan- .-, .- in' hold fcl f.ci": oo-'.aw ouscei". imt say citip no greatly enhanced prices can ce ex pected, as t!io world's supply will probably lull fc.uirt of the ordinary aggregate cen imiip'ioji only ;i per cent.

All this mad a weak market and prices finally mado a-baip decline. Tho export move ment, however. wa reported liberal, New York nlonu sending out over 00,000 bushels of wheat and (lour, while the three potts cleared over 600.000 bushels. Ihe market rallied somo about r.oor. on a report that 00 boatloads had been taken at JVow York for export.

Late cables re ported some decline at Faris, but prices higher at Kerlin, and Now Yorkwired:""A good Continental demand, with unfavorable weather In Russia." Estimated rccoipts for to-morrow, indicating the forwarding of some of tho new crop, proveda check on any decided bull movement. December opened at 69541c, eased off some, but held for a long time betwoei S8Jc and 83Kc; then broke to SSc, recovered to SSiic, heldsteadv for a time and advanced lc, but weakened again and closed at 84c. Corn was weak from the start, and Septem ber sold off nearly lc from yesterday's close. The warmer weather, improved crop nros pects, and the weakness in wheat were w eakening factors. The offerings were gen erous, and while early sales were very close to the resting price yesterday, the weakness increased and buvcrs reduced their bids. Cables were reported lower, and the cash de mand les active. The market was a trifle firmer iusvmpathy with wheat, but eased off somo "toward" tho closo. September started at 52c, sold at 52f c. broke to hc, reacted to 52c, and closed at 51J-c. Oats were fairly active and steady for July, but ranged somewhat lower for August and September. Provisions started firm on some good buy ing, smaller receipts of hogs than expected, and soinendvance in prices at the yards. Later it weakened in sympathy with corn and wheal.

A Great Manufacturing Center in Touch With tho Markets of the World. PROPERTY. VALUES TO SUIT THE PURSE Middle-aged people remember when Law rencovllle was a borough; now it is one of the most progressive portions of Pittsburg. Butler street is the principal thoroughfare It begins at the Forks and ends at Sharps burg bridge, a distance of about threo miles. This street is almost entirely given up to business. Some or tho side streets, notably Fortieth, Fisk and Main, aro bordered with handsome homes. Young Mr. Fuhrer is building a' fine Queen Anne residence on Fortieth, Mr. Black, President of the Keystone-Bridge Works, owns and occupies a palatial man sion on tho same street. It was built last year. Fisk is comparatively a now street, having been open but a few years. It Is devoted al most entirely to homes. This i3 one of the handsomest streets in Lawrenceville. Prop erty on the'street has enhanced 50 per cent in tho last threo years. Main street is another comparatively new thoroughfare, and, like Fisk, is largely occu pied by residences. Among many beautiful places on this street are those of George Seibeck, Mr. Fnhrer, Sr., George Folsom and Miss Sadie Wilkinson. Forty-fourth, above Butler, ia another fine street,and displays many handsome homes, among them being those of Mr. Siemen, of Siemen, Sleeth & Black, Mr. AVallace and Mr. Mitchell, who was chief clerk to Mayor McCallin. All of these streets are in the Seventeenth ward. The Eighteenth ward is building up faster than the Seventeenth, but with a cheaper class of houses. It is a great manufactur ing center. Tho Home for Incurables, founded by the late Miss Jane Holmes, is in this ward. It contains many fine residences, denoting opulence and cultivation. Residence property in Lawrenceville, as ascertained from Mr. Thomas McCaffrey, the enterprising real estate broker, can be bought at almost any price, but in choice localities it is held at pretty steep figures. A sale on Main street recently was at the rate of $200 a foot front. Cheap property is on unimproved side streets, and near the mills. Business property is strong, w ith an advanine tendency. Forty feet on Butler, near Main, changed ownership a short time ago at $20,000, or $500 a foot front. "To lets" are as scarce as in any other quarter of the city. Lawrenceville, as stated, is a great manu facturing center. Some of the most Impor tant works in the city are located here. No locality offers greater inducements to enter prise. Sites suitable for any kind of business can hn nurehnspd at moderate figures. It is in touch by railroad and river with the iron andcoalfle'dsof the country, and with all the outside markets. Business "News and Gossip. The old buildings on New Grant street, ad joining the Bindley block, are being demol ished preparatory to the erection of a flve story business house.

Plans are being prepared for two new schoolhouses in the Tenth ward, Allegheny. Work on them will be commenced next spring. The work of reconstructing the Germafila Bank building will begin next week. As stated in this column a short time ago, the new structure will, differ materially from the old. It will be of the same height, but otherwise larger and handsomer. Up to the present the Treasury has not re ceived any applications for the extension of the 4K Per cent bonds.

HOME SECURITIES. A -WAITING MARKET AND BROKERS GENERALLY ON THE FENCE. Moro Gains Than Losses but Changes Con fined to Fractions Street Railways in Better Favor Holders Too Confident to Make Concessions Electric Reorganiza tion. The local stock market was unusually quiet yesterday. The first two calls passed without a sale; at the last 20 shares of Pleas ant Valley Traction stock changed hands at 23- Neither bulls nor bears displayed any courage. At no previous time, perhaps, has the market been more distinctly a waiting one. Almost every broker has orders, but is unable to placo them. Every fractional ad vance encourages sellers to hope tho mar ket is coming their way, and they raise the price; and, on the other hand, buyers inter pret every trifling slump as the precursor of a general catastrophe and hold off to get the benefit of it. These tactics, while safe, are death to business. In tho general list thore were more gains than losses, but they were restricted to small fractions. Insurance shares were in good request. Philadelphia Gas improved J. It was said a few buying orders wore re ceived fiom tho East- Central Traction was stronger, and Pleasant Vallev J. Tho startinir of the main mill forced Luster up nearly a point, with small offerings. Elec trio was dull but steady. If It holds Its own until the outcome of the meeting bo known it will do well. As holders are indisposed to incur any additional loss, it is pretty-safe to say the stock will hang aroundpresent fig ures until after the 15th. Mr. Westinghouse returned to the city yesterday in good spir its. He expressed absolute confidence in the success of the reorganization plan. Switch and Signal was a shade stronger on tne'bolief that tho company is considering measures to improve its financial position. Underground Cable advanced i at the last call. There appeared to be a better feeling for the unlisted Tractions. The prophecy that they will eventually be the leaders of the market is in course of fulfilment. Some one of the many plans for preventing accidents will be adopted. Speed will be increased where lacking. For Manchester 38 was bid yesterday for a 100-share lot, and VM for SO Duquesne. Henry M. Long bought $5,000 Birmingham bonds at 93 flat. Bids and asking prices at each call are appended. THIRD CALL B A EXCHANGE STOCK. P. P.S. &M.Ex. Exchange N. Ilk m tier. iat. uanic.. Liberty Nat.

SPECULATORS HOLD l!ACK WALL STREET NOT INCLINED TO BE VENTURESOME NOW. Stocks on the Down Grado Most of the Day Cordage Makes a Bad Break Toward the Close Foreign Selling of Louisville and Nashville. New York, July 8. Notwithstanding the abundance of money available for specula tive purposes, togethor with the bright pros pects of the coming season, there seems for the present to be no disposition to enter into any ventures in the stock market, and dullness, narrowness and general stagnation still mark the trading. To-day there was a reversal of yesterday's movement, and frac tional losses were the rule, though only among a few stocks was there any percepti ble tendency in prices. The rate of the Bank of England re mained unchanged this morning, and the best observers proclaim that there is no indication of a further shipment of gold this week; but the traders thought they de tected a selling of Louisville and Nashville for foreign account, and they attacked that stock with some effect. The Grangers came in lor some of the same kind of attention, and especially St. Paul and Burlington weakened under the pressure. The re mainder of the market was, as a rule, devoid of feature from the opening to the closo, though Jersey Central lost a portion of its late advance. The traders, who are in com plete possession of the market, such as it is, after being scared into the covering of their shorts, havo discovered that the expected demand for stocks has not materialized, and aro again encouraged to put out the stocks so lately covered, ont only a few shares ate deemed vulnerable enough to make the risk in, and tho market, therefore, continues to be all in the lew shares w hich have of late been most prominent in the dealings. These to-day include only St. P.iul, Burling ton, Louisville, Atchison and Chicago Gas, but the last named was the strongest of the lot, without news of a character to havo much effect. The opening was heavy and extremely dull, and under the pressure the leading stocks made considerable progress toward lower figures in the first hour. The declin ing tendency was unrelieved by any feat ure of note until late in the day, when Cordage again gavo way, dropping iyt per cent and recovering only a small portion of tho loss. Tho three or lour active stocks showed losses of something over 1 per cent at tho lowest prices, and with some covering in tho last hour a shade was recovered. The close was very dull and stagnant, with tho activo shares at close bottom figures. The final changes are in almost all casee insignifi cant, but Wheeling and Lake Erie lost 1; the preferred, 1; Cordage, VA Burlington, Vi; Missouri Pacific, 1, and St. Paul, Union Pacific and some others large fractions. Railroad bonds give about the usual amount of business, and displayed rather a stronger touo than stocks, but felt the weakening influence and failed to 6core any material change. A largo number of issues were traded in, but the transactions were without importance and the fluctuations hardly perceptible in most of them. The business of the day reached $767,000.

Corn and Oats Are rirm.andAll the Cereals Incline Upward, SUGAE STEADY AND COFFEE QUIET Office of PrrrSBrnto Dispatch, t Thursday, July 9. CoTOTitY Produce (Jobbing Prices) Eggs are lower, as our quotations will reveaL Tho top of the market is 18c per dozen, a decline of nearly 2c from prices of last week. Ohio cheese is still in plentiful supply, but the general view is that prices are at bottom. In this faith jobbers are laying in heavy supplies. Creamery butter of choice grade is fairly firm at quotations, and demand for country rolls is improving. Supply of ber ries is not above demand, as was the case for a day or two past, and markets are a shade higher. Watermelons are abundant and de mand is slow at a decline from last quota tions. Southern potatoes are weak and prices are lower. Cabbage is firm and good slock readily brings outside quotations. Among the new arrivals in fruit lines are wild plums and Jamaica oranges. California oranges nro about at their end for this season. The untimely cool weather of July has checked the upward movement o"f lemons. Apples-SI 00 a bushel. S2 50(5)3 00 a barrel.
