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.

STEEL MAKING THE THING.
Over Half a Million liaised for the New
- Mill in the Birmingham District.
rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DtSPATCH.l
Birmingham, Ala,, Aug. 7. 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

SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT
In the Philadelphia Market, Where a Num
ber of Contracts Have Been Made.
rsPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
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.
The time' has siumlv come when railroads
must buy, and this alone ought to mako an '
increase in tne demand lor all anas ot iron.

THE MAEKET BASKET.
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.
The German National Bank building is ap
proaching completion. It is one of the prin--cipal

The contract for grading and masonry on
the Beech Creek railroad, between Kerrmoor

THE M0WETABT SITUATION.
Bank Clearings Shrink a Little, but Other
Features More Encouraging.
While there was no material change in
local monetary affairs yesterday, bankers
reported a good seasonable call for accom-
modations and rather better than average
routine business. Checking fell off a little,
but hugged the $2,000,000 markvery closely.
Clearings were $1,940,505 56 and balances
$298,839 07. Bates were steady at 67 per
cent ion all classes of loans, more or less
being exceptional. Small bills were scarce,
owing to their employment in making up
payrolls, and also to large shipments tothe
iv est.
At New York yesterday money on call was

SLUGGISH MATSKET BUT SOME INTER
ESTING FEATURES.
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.

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.

stocks on the lewYorkStocfcExchanKe yesterday.

Grain, Flour and Feed.
There were no sales on call at the Grain
Exchange to-day. Receipts as bulletined, 22
carloads, of which 14 cars were by Pittsburg,
Ft. Wayne and Chicago Railway, as follows:
2 cars of wheat, 1 of feed, 1 of oats, 4 of hay,
6 of flour. By Baltimore and Ohio, 3 cars of
hay, 2 of ear corn. By Pittsburg, Cincinnati
and St. Louis, 1 car of oats. By Pittsburg and
Lake Erie, 1 car of wheat. By Plttsburgand
Western, 1 car of hay. The cereal situation
is practically the same as it was yesterday.
Buyers are very cautious In present uncer
tain condition of markets. 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. New oats are coming to our mar
kets the past few days, and are better in
weight and quality than the old crop. Drift

WHEAT GOES UPWARD.
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.
