THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH,- SATURDAY. AUGUST 8, 1891. 11 IRON TRM REVIEW, Sales Are Fully as Heavy as Expected for This Season of the Tear. THE PE1CES MAINTAINED In a Satisfactory Manner Upon A11J the Standard Brands. AX ADVANCE IX LAKE FREIGHTS. The Scarcity of Tonnage Sure to Be a Sonrce of Strength Later On. BIG GKAIX CROPS WILL HELP A BOOM Office of the Pittsburr Dispatch, Friday, August 7. ) Eaw Iron akd Steeit Trade during tlie past -week shows no signs of improving. This, however, wiU not continue. By Sep tember 1 the absentees will have returned, and business will open up in earnest Unless all signs fail, the fall and winter trade in iron and steel will far exceed previous rec ords. Let us see how the July sales of raw iron compare with July, 18110. For five "weeks, ending August 1, last year, sales were 125,830 tons; sales the same time this year, 223,093 tons; in favor of 1891, 99,083 tons. This is certainly a good showing. Consumers will have a reasonable supply on liand when the fall trade opens. The stock of iron in first hands is not large, as many parties are well sold up. Others, ugain. have made contracls, some of them for August, September and October. As regards the po-ition in iron there is no cause for uneasiness, except that the vol ume ofbusines-. is too limited, prices are Jow.andas stocks are light it i supposed there is verv little dead wood to carry, so that all that is needed is more business. "While matters look favorable enough some how or other the outcome docs not corre spond, or at any rate has not done so re centlv. The advance of 25 cents per ton in Iron "ore- was quite a i-nrprise to many. Those furnace men that purchased large quantities before the advance was Inaugu rated were to bo congratulated and were no doubt well pleased with themselves. No Redaction looked For. Business Is still far from a condition of ac tivity, and there is ample room for improve ment, both as regards volume and prices. There seems to be no room for further re duction in prices, at least cot under the present cost of manufacture, for thorc is hardly a living profit in any line at present Jlcures. The increasing output of pig Iron, in the absence of a corresponding increase In the demand, is crediting some apprehen sion us to tho ability of the market to stand the pressure; but thus far there has been no marked developments of weakness in pig iron that can be attributed to this cause. As usual, the largest inquiry was for the better grades of pig, such as city furnace, whose reputation are No. 1. Southern irons ore not landed, in, fact they have been neg lected for some time. One party, who had experimented with it at an expense of sev eral hundred dollars, remarked he had done expel imenting. We have heard of other cases of a similar kind. The fact is iron that enters into competition with 1'ittsburg made iron must be of good quality. The situation is very similar to last w eek. Sales are very much i estrictcd, and prices show scarcely any change. Important to Iron Men. Tlie sharp advance in lake freight rates Is likely to firm up the ideas of furnace people in regard to the value of pig iron. We noted an advance last week in our report of 10c per ton, and nave now to report a still further advance. The rate lrom Escanaba to lesser lake points has been 55c per ton. An ad vanoe was made to 05c, then to 70c, and now a still further advance has been made to 61 10. The rate from Ashland has been 95c unci has lately been advanced to $1 35 per ton. This seems to be the first intimation of the effect of the big grain crops which will poon begin to move, as the chartering of vessels tor the movement of grain has made tonnage on the lakes scarce for the close of the season. Bessemer is a shade weaker. Gray forge, standard brands unchanged. Bloom and bil lets, demand less active. Muck bar shows no change. All things considered, business fchows up reasonably well.

This district lias no change to report in the situation of the iron market. Prices may be quoted f. o. b. at the furnace: No. 1 foundry, $12; No. 2 foundry, HU No. 3 foundry, $10 30; gray forge, 9 73. To what exteut the fumuco owners are cutting under tboe prices is not exactly known, though it Is probable the pa&dlngs are liberal. Although the move ment of product to the market was freer in the lattor half of July than in the first half, stocks continue to pile up and it is probable that when the long expected rise comes this diftrict will have an enormous quantity of btorcd iron. The matter of steel making Is Just now up permost. The promoters of the million-dollar steel mill announced that they needed from citizens of Birmingham a subscription of J150,000. A public meeting on Monday night sub.vcribed $102,000, and the balance lias been raised privately. This makes $550, O.'O of tne whole amount now raised. For the remainder the promoters will go East. The enthusiasm of the public is only equaled by the confidence in business circles. Even tlie clerks of the town are taking one or two shares. Of the four rolling mills In this dis trict, three are now idle, one In the hands of a receiver, one for repairs, and one on gen eral principles. Reports of efforts to start the idle industries in the Anniston district come in every day now. THE CINCINNATI MABKET. A Tew Good Orders for Pig Iron Placed to Believe the Monotony. fSrECIAl. TELEGUAM TO THE DISPATCH.! CiuctxsATi, Aug. 7. Rogers, Brown & Co. say: No one connected with the iron trade and Its allied industries expected anything to happen worthy of note during the week, and consequently no disappointment was felt. There have been n few orders of considerable size for pig iron placed, but the bulk of the busi ness has been in contracts from sin gle carloads to one or two hundred tons. Softeners and charcoals continue to drag and accumulate, as do also the lower grades of Southern coke irons. Producers gener ally have almost given up hope of higher prices this year, and many of them are will ing to contract their entire product at about the present range of values. Buyers main tain their indifference, and it is evident that a showing of increased consumption or de creased production will be necessary to rouse them from the state of lethargy into v.-ich they have fallen. Consumers are wisely co-operating with furnaces in getting forward August and September deliveries to protect thomselves against the shortage of cars, and this Is de creasing stocks in the South to some extent. That the iron trade is on a solid basis is evi dently shown by the small number of fail ures that have been recorded during tho past few months. Fonndrymen, almost without exception, report their margin of profits very small, but settlements are made quite promptly, and there is a feeling of con lidence among the trade. The money mar ket here is unchanged. The banks haven't much surplus to loan, but nmple to take care J ol tncir regular customers lor ordinary wants. ACTIVITY AT ST, LOUIS. Several Good Lots of Coke and Charcoal Irons Placed in That Market. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO Till DISPATCH. St. Louis, Aug. 7. Rogers, Brown & Meacham say: Business during tho past week has been quite active, several fair sized lots of coke and charcoal irons having been placed in this market. However, the prices at whicfc sales wero made are quite low. We hear of several railroads being about ready to place orders for cars, pro vided they can make satisfactory arrange ments in regard to payments. If tho rail roads place their orders it will make busi ness quite actiTe, and we think an improve ment m prices. Wo quote for cash, I. o. b., St. Louis: Hot blast coke and charcoal: Southern coke.

Philadelphia, Aug. 7. Rogers, Brown & Co. say: The iron market shows some signs of improvement this week. Several con tracts have been placed for cars and more contract are to follow, not only for cars, but for all kinds of railway supplies.

Fruits and Vegetables at Their I-owcst Meats and Fish Dull. Fruits and vegetables are at their lowest point this season and lower than thoy have been for years. A few weeks ago potatoes were firm at $4 50 per barrel. Now they are weak at $150 per barrel, and choice home raised potatoes are selling from stall and store at 60c per bushel. Tomatoes, cabbage and. In fact, all garden 6tuH has declined In tho same ratio. Quality of watermelons coming to our markets tho past week shows some improvement. Blackberries and huckleberries are all that are left in the berry line. Peaches are in bountiful supply and are likely to be much more plentiful the coming week. Advices from the Dela ware and New Jersey peach sections insuro the largest crop and lowott prices for years past. Dairy products are training steadily in firmness, but retail prices are practically the same as they were a week ago. Eggs are weak and a shade lower than they were last Saturday. Tho best on the market should re tail at 2(io per dozen. Florists report a very quiet trade owing to absenteeism. A large number of the best customers in this line are at the seashore or on the mountains. The effect of absentee Ism is also felt at the meat and fish stalls, where trade is reported at its lowest ebb.

REACTION AGAINST THE SKY-SCRAPERS Although building operations have not been fully resumed there is a great deal go ing on in this line. Ground lost at the be ginning of the year is being recovered. There is plenty of time to begin and finish ordinary houses before cold weather. Many lot owners are making extraordinary exer tions to get under their own roofs the coming falL The commencement of 12 houses by Prof. Sloane at Hazelwood, was noted yesterday. George Thornton will soon begin five at the same place. Yesterday morning Mrs. Law rence had ground broken for four on Leon ard street, Brushton. Timothy Griffin is laying the foundations for four on Boston street, near Fifth avenue. Fourteenth ward. In the course of a short talk with Archi tect Offerman yesterday he said: "Business has picked up wonderfully since tho strike. I am now satisfied -we will have a good aver age year. There is plenty of time before cold weather for ordinary buildings, but large ones will not be undertaken. The scarcity of dwellings compels people to build whether they want to or not. This ex plains the activity in this Industry so soon after one of the greatest labor upheavals in the history of tho city."' Mr. Charles Langtbn, well known in in surance circles, returned a day or two ago from an extended trip to the "West and Northwest. In conversation ye9torday he re marked: "The country through which I passed is prosperous in everything except real estate. There have been so many "booms" out there that every city and most of the towns have been oversold. The con sequence is a shrinkage in values which has flnanciallv crippled a great many people. In Chicngo, St. Paul, Kansas City, Omaha and some other places vacant houses are too numerous to count. I wish we had a few hundred of them in Pittsburg, where there are not enough to shelter the people." Considerable has been said of late concern ing tho tall houses in Chicago. Sir. Langton said that while he was there one of these sky-scrapers, 14 stories high, was condemned as unsafe, and will have to come down. He said the sentiment against very tall build ings was growing. It is impossible to handle them effectively in case of fire, while the strong winds from the prairie and lake are a constant source of danger. Business News and Gossip. There is fresh talk of a large business' house on the corner of Fourth avenue and Grant street. This property belongs to the Wilkius estate.

Cyclorama Displaces La Norla as the Leader in Low Prices Citizens' Traction and Philadelphia Gas Down in theHidding No Stimulant for Luster. Sales on call yesterday were 135 shares, contributed by Philadelphia Gas, Luster and Airbrake. The range of prices was-generally lower than that of the previous day. Although showing but little snap, the market developed some interesting features. Cyclorama eamo to the front after a long period of retirement on a bid of 10 cents a share. It was o'fferod at 25. These figures relegate-La Noria to a back seat after hold ing the place of honor for low prices from time almost immemorial. Citizens' Traction dropped to 60 in the bidding at the last call. This was done more for the purpose of getting at the views of the holders than with the expectation of securing any of the stock. It failed both ways. None was offered at less than 65. Philadelphia Gas also lost standing. It sold down to 10 and finished at lOJJ bid. Stock buyers, like other business men, look to quick returns. Conditions count for little so long as dividends are paid. The Phila delphia Company is wiping out its debt soag to make dividends possible, and according to report, is succeeding admirably. Investors should take this feature into consideration, and look to the future oven more than the present. There was nothing to stimulate Luster, nnd it submitted to a fractional concession. Those who for weary months have been hop ing for a statement are ready to despair. It is possible an honest report would not make a very favorable showing, but even this would be better than none, sinoo it would show proper consideration for stockholders. Airbrake held the impetus given to it by tho extra dividend and sold at 101. Many think this is about high-water mark. Fidelitv Title and Trust Comnanv was offered down .to 160. Pleasant ' allev fin ished under the opening, and Under ground Cable half a point above. John B. Barbour, of Rea Bros. & Co., said: "We aro getting in more orders than for some time, and the prospect or a revival in business Is encouraging. I look for an active market and better prices the coming fall." Sales on call yesterdav were: First call 10 Philadelphia Gas at n, 10 Luster at 12J4. After call 40 Philadelphia Gas at 1L Second call 20 Philadelphia Gas at 10. After call 25 Airbreak at 101. Third call 50 Luster at 12J, seller 30.

STOCKS BRIGHTEN UP. THE MARKET OPENS MORE ACTIVE THAN FOR SOME TIME. Business Was Decidedly Strong; and Indi cations Point to a Complete Change Late Sellers Wero Eager and Large Buy ers During" tho Entire Day. New York, Aug. 7. Tho stock market was .more active toay than on any day sinco the depression in business at the Stock Ex change began, and It was also decidedly strong, everything on tho list reaching ma terially higher figures. Tho indications point to a complete change in tho temper of the speculation, though the strength to-day was certainly due in great measures to tho running of tho shorts and the late promi nent sellers 01 tho market were large buyers openly in the market. The efforts to get union Pnciflo down farther were not abated, however.and there was a repetition of all the old stories. Considerable selling was in dulged in by the late buyers. The UDWard movement, the ooverinir of the short interest, was aided by the manipu lation of certain difficulties, among which Sugar and New England were prominent, while Lackawanna also Joined the list of stocks toinake a sharp upward movement. St. Paul and Union Pacific were the only specially activo stocks, but the business done in the rest of the list was materially larger than that usual of late, and the mar ket was certainly wider, indicating more general interest in the course of prices. There was no specially weak points even among tho low-priced shares, and the late movement in Chicago Gas was an exception to the general rule. The advances, which reached their height about 1 p. m., reached S Tier cent in Suc-ar. which is sunnosod to be renjoying a squeeze of the late. sellers by the insiuers. .utter realizations, witn some help from the bears, knocked some of the gains off, the market slowly settling away, and Chicago Gas in the last hour developed the most pronounced weakness and scored tho only important decline for the day. The conditions, however, are very favor able to the upward movement and should any outside support be given the market a sharp rally would certainly be in order. The market finally closed activo and heavy with most of the list at only slight changes from the opening figures: Thefinal changes are generally small fractional gains, but Cordage is up 2 per cent; Sugar, 1: Chicago, and East Illinois, 1; Beading, and Lack- awanna, i, while Chicago Gas is down 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were also more active and tho sales of all issues were run up to the re spectable figure of $343,000 without speolally largo sales in any one issue, though there were many transactions in Oregon Improve ments. The market was firm to strong ana the majority of the issues traded in are only fractionally higher to-night. The busi ness done was evenly and widely dis tributed. Government bonds have been dull and Bteady. State bonds have been dull, but firm. The Post says: , ,, There have been many indications in this week's market that the desperate and un scrupulous bear campaign against prices is near its end. It began on a rational basis, namely, that the whole community had lost confidence in the bulls and their arguments. This meant absolute lack of support, a mar ket full of stop orders, and in the end lower prices. The bear combination as was natu ral took advantage of the situation. This was several weeks ago. In the meantime market conditions have undergone a radical change, Prices are on a much lowor level, weak hold ers of stocks have -very largely completed their liquidation nnd there is a heavy out standing short interest. But by far the most important consideration is the fact thnt the bears have spent noarly all of their ammunition. The gold export has ceased and Its causes are understood. Rumors of trouble in great financial houses are no longer believed since tho scandalous and false rumors circulated lately. Bail roads in attempting to float their bonds have in succession been subject toscarching and hostile scrutiny. Few, if any, of those stories will be available again for bear use, and meantime the great grain crop is moving on to market. The unnatural state of affairs in the loan nnd investment markets continues, and until equilibrium is restored there Wall street will not see a bull market for stocks. There may, moreover, be lower prices before the end of the month. But the people who lost confidence In the bulls in June have utterly lost confidence in the bears in August, and that tells its own story. The following tabic shows the prices of active stocks on the lewYorkStocfcExchanKe yesterday.

The upward movement of rye noted a few days ago has been arrested, and prices are back to the old level, as was predicted in this column. The advance was a speculative one and could not stand.

It Scores an Advance of Nearly a Cent Tho Market Was Stronger From the Outset and Finally Broke Away With Some Free Selling. CHICAGO Wheat scored an advance of 3oas the result of to-day's trading. The market was stronger from the outset, and though it seemed to hesitate a little for a time, it finally broke away and easily and rapidly advanced to the highest point of the day. Thereafter it fluctuated within a com paratively narrow range and closed Jc be low the highest point reached. There was some very free selling around the opening, led by Lamson, Schwartz Dupee Walker and Milmine-Bodman, but tho market absorbed everything without showing anv evidence of weakness. Logan and S. V. White evidently had unrestricted buying orders, presumably from New 1 ork, and the sellers were Anally bailed out and the demand still unsatisfied. The scalpers who had followed the selling by the big: firms in the early part of the session be came alittle apprehenHiveoverthestubborn strength the market showed and mado haste to cover. This change gave the market new strength, and about the same time a good deal of bull news was let loose and added to tho growing strength. The sea boaid clearances wore again large, aggre gating 790,000 bushels from the three At lantic export points, beside 20,000 packages of flour. There was a good demand here lor cash wheat. Cables also reported a strong Liverpool market, somo quoting Id advance on all sorts, whilo Continental, though conflicting, indicated a stronger tone. Bad weather in Austria, Hungary, and damage to crops, with reports of severe hailstorms in Dakota, and Minnesota were also strong factors. One of the bull pointers was the story that the falling off in the receipts for some days was due to the combination of the Fanners' Alliance to hold wheat back, and that it might be expected to continue. This created some uneasiness. Adispatch from Tennessee reported the farmers holding back their wheat and millers not getting enough to grind, with the result of an advance of 7 cents per bushel during the past week. The culmination of the advance was due to big buying by Pardridge brokers and, also, the covering of a heavy line of shorts by George Smith. Counsel rimn and Day were reported to have taken 400,000 bushels for shipment. After the market had touched the top fig ure Logan began a series of heavy realizinz sales. Then Berlin was quoted 3 marks lower, and tho export purchases at New York were reported at the comparatively small amount of 35 boatloads, mostly for September. This stopped the advance and caused a recession. December opened at 89Jc, sold up steadily toOOJc, broke to 90c, reacted to 90c, fluc tuated some and closed at 90c against 84c at the close yesterday. Corn was weak and lower early on con tinued warm weather and the fact that re ceipts were in increase of estimates, though it made a good advance later in sympathy with the advance in wheat: though the cir culation of a story to the effect that the con tinued clear warm weather, instead of im proving the crop was likely to shrivel it up, through fear or bull manipulation. Trado was slow early. September opened c lower at 55c, sold at 54c, advanced to StiJic, fluctuated between 680 and 55c sev eral times and closed firm at 5GVc. New York parties and Pardridge were the main support of the market during the forenoon, but the crowd took tho Job off their hands in the afternoon. Oats wore quiet and steady with very nar row fluctuations, closing at outside figures. Pork was strong as a rule; early sales were at some decline. Shorts covered freely. There was not much selling pressure, while the strength in grain helped tho market. Cudaby was a free seller and Steever sold a good deal of pork. Ribs were firm: there is a good cash demand and packers are selling freely of spot and buying tho futures against these sales. Lard was steady and firm, olosing with an advance of 5o. Pork ad-, vanced 17K20c and ribs 7Jo. The leading futures ranged as follows, as t cnrrpr.ted bv John M. Oftklev A. Cn . m fii-rt.l, . street, members of Chicago Board of Trade:!
