THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 19, 1891J 11 IIM TRADE REYIEW. The Sales of flaw Material Liberal, and Trices Are Maintained. BESSEMER SEEMS A SHADE FIRMER The Demand for Skelp Iron Is Active, With an Upward Tendency. RETORTS FE01I THE LEADING CENTERS Office of rnrsi cno DisrATcn, FmnAY, Sept. 18. j Itaw Iron and Steel Trade Business dur ing the v eek shows up reasonably well, all thin? taken into consideration. It was confidently expected that the iron trade wmld exhibit a considerable amount of activity before the middle of September. "When tiiis preilictiou was entertained we were all in the dark in regard to events that liav e since transpired, vv ithin a short period, that have set business men thinking and to exclaim what will happen next? The iron embarrassment during the week was to a certain extent unexpected, and from state ments made by the firm will not be a seri ous affair. The works are still in operation and will be continued, as it looks at this time as if the firm would be granted all the time required to put the matter in the proper shape. After this is accomplished the firm expects to lnve a good sized balance or the right tide of the ledger. All that is now -wanted to start business is confidence- that once cstal lished. trade w ill Hart i.p and nnke the 1 ist quartcrof 1S91 the best of the car 1'rtccs show no improve ment. We "continue to hem- of certain de scription at low price-, while siundaid and .-favorite brind show no decline in value. SjVomcof ourcitv furnaces are well sold up, v. hile others aro still open for business. One furnace eompinv sold ..000 ton" ot Bessemer mid gray forge: ti.is w ill Veep them busy for ijomc time to come. The Large Output. There is one tlnng that should be taken into consideration that the output is get ting to bo pretty close to tho largest on record, so tint the increased supply lias been quite in proportion to the increased de mand. The Eastern ma. ct continues to shov signs of improvement. A well-in-fonned iron man hns this to say: "While there is no change m prices the tendency is toward slightly higher vinces. Sellers have Jio difficulty iii pi icing iron .it prices recent ly relm;. This statement includes :ill grades of iron at inside linces. But there is an ample Mipply for those vv ho are willing to meet l.oluers" ideas, which is about 25 cents ad vance on figures recently ruling. Those who mide trifling concessions do so no longer, while others who are feeding out t their holdings reluctantly now hnnly de mand more nioncj. This'isnn encouraging feature eonsideiing that the output is al most tin co-quarters of a million per month, and will doululcss he mere than that bcfoie the close of the j eai " In tile Finlshc.l Products.

Chicaoo, Sept. IS. Special. Rogers, Brovv n and Merwin say: Actual sales of sizo in Chicago territory during the past week have been light, though small orders have been numerous. Inquiries from consumers are coming" in more freely, a number of theso being from large buyers and for round lots; in most cncs long scattered deliveries are wanted, indicating that leading buyers con sider that tho present is a good time in w Inch to cover their requirements for six to ten months ancad, provided they can ao so at present prices. The inquiries which are coming in cover all kinds of metal, but are mainly for Northern and Southern coko brands, foundry, soft and lorge grades. Winle the large consumers are figuring on a supply of pig metal of various kinds, in many ensos sufllcieni to last until next spring, there is hardly an instance where tlicj are w filing to pay anvthing beyond the low et present market prices, oven for the scattered deliveries, consumers generally expect that the iron market in all lines will rcina'n on or about tlio present "basis of price up to January 1, if not longer. From the furnace staudnotnt the market is in a different condition from the view held by leading buyers. Iron makers, par ticularly through tlie Southern States, feel sanguine that the stiflcnlng of price is likely to come about withhi the next 60 to 90davs. A careful summnrWof the situntion shows that the production of pig metal is now larger than it has been any time since August, 18S6- conservative parties reason that this alone is enongh to bold the general market steady. Consumption is increasing and is mucb heavier than three or four months ago. The outlook points to a firm market during tho bai.idco of the year, with some fluctuation in prices and a general bet terment in all lines of raw and manufac tured iron and steel for the next year. AN ISIPBOVED DEMAND In the Cincinnati Slarket Ixiokcd for, ITCtb. nn Advance In Prices. Ci:cixj.ati, Sept. 18. Special Rogers, Brovv n & Co. sa v Xo new clement has been introduced into the Iron market since the last report. Some troubles in J?Ittburg; in volving old concerns of high standing, have .operated as a slight check on the general improving tendency. On the other hand, the feeling is very firmly held that an lm prov cd demand is bound to come, and that in all probability it vrill cause an advance In ptices. Ali-cadv-there is a noticeable en largement of inquiries and increase of sales. Some of the largest Southern companies have booked HI they care to, unless at an advance of 3.1 or M cents per ton. Other com panies arc agam taking business at the same rates th.it hav e been current for a month past, but refuse to make a penny concession under any circumstances, and are unwilling to scatter deliveries far ahead The tonnage of orders placed since last week's report is pi obabl j 25,000 tons in Southern iron alone. Xo concessions were made on any of this, and omc of it was known to have gone at a slisht advance The bulk of it was confined to Xo. 3 foundry, gray forge and Xo. 2 soft grides. In car wheel irons thero has been a better demand and some sales. Railroads, how ever, ill e not far enough out of financial re striction to buy equipment as they would like to. It is believed that the improved mai ket for railroad bonds will in a short timeilter this state of things and bring the railroads in as free buyer. All the general features of the situation continue very hope ful. What change there has been, has been in the way of improvement. Stocks of iron continued about stationary during last month, and It is thought are being reduced this month. This in lace of high water mark production. LAKGE 0EDEES FOB CABS Have Stirred Up tho St. Louis 3Inrket to a Higher Degree of Activity. St. Louis. Sept. 13. Special. Rogers, Brown & Meachaiu saj: The placing of several large orders for cars by different railroads, has made the iron market quite activ e during tl-epast week. Car wheel, as ell as coko irons, have been offered for loss than cost of production, and from the present indications, the fnrnaces will soon advance their prices, and some of them linve round lotis sold ahead for several mouths delivery. Old wheels, which have beenadru,on the market, are now being looked for bj consumers. Wo quote for cash f. o. b. St. Lords. Hot hlist coke and charcoal: froulliern coke, Xo. 1.

THE EIICHEff HAKKET. Fralts and Vegetables Very Low Ocean Products Qnlet. The opportunity for filling the market basket at low prices has not been better for yeais, than it is at present. Peaches wore in short supply in the early pan of the week, but are now in supply more than sufficient to meet all demands. Quality of peaches of fered has very much unproved in the past week. Grapes aio coming in at the rate of thico to four cars daily, and prices are in clining downward. Vegetables of all kinds are sIot and dull at prices of a week ago. Thero is no longer a scarcity of cicamcry butter as wc have reporfd for a few weeks past. Supply is more than equal to demand. Hyh prices of butter liavo brought oleo to tue front, and as a result markets have weakened, strictly fresh eggs nie scarce and higher. At the fish and oyster stalls trade is reported slow. The weather is too wnmifo- ov iters. Western flsli are scarce, vv ith tho exception of herring. White fih, s ilmon and trout are in short supply. Fresh mackerel and crabs aie about out for this season and Irogs are very scarce. Floruts report trade very quit t" in their line, with prices the s imo as a week ago.

A-Local Bank Official Takes No Stock in the Bearish Talk. BRISK TIMES OUT BUTLER STREET. Projected Improvements of Importance to the Down-Town District HOW THE SPECULATIVE PULSE BEATS Tears of tight money appear to be groundless, and do 3iot enter into the calcu lations of level-headed financiers. A lead ing bank official talked in this strain yes terday: "While we are conservative and closely scrutinize all paper offered, we have no apprehensions of.a tight market. There were indications of this when the crops be gan to move, but the danger has passed. Farmers are receiving money for their products and arc putting it into circulation. Money is returning to the banks and gold is coming back from Europe. How anyone can expect tight money under such circum stances is more than I can see. I think the country is entering upon a long period of prosperity." , Thenearcomplotion of the electric road to Sharpsburg is stirring up things in the vicinity ef tho bridge. This has always been a neglected quarter, on account of In adequate means of locomotion. But tho cer tainty of rapid transit has produced a radi cal change. Apathetic land owners are puttinc their property on the market, and buyers are improving the opportunity to invest. It is estimated that at least 100 lots have changed ownership in this district w ithin a month, Xearly all of them will be built on. About SO houses are under wav. Tho benefit of rapid transit has few illus trations so forcible as the chanze it has brought about in a short time at the upper end of Butler street. The Pittsburg Exposition Is of great im portance to the business interests of the city. Its benefits aro felt by all cla'sses of people. What it Is doing for this locality the Columbian Exposition will do for the country. It will not only bling thousands of people from other countries Into tho United States, but it will tend to check the usual summer hegira of American pleasure seekers across the Atlantic to Europe, and keep at home, for one season at least, tho hundreds or thousands of dollars expended by traveling Americans to onrion the Hotels and shop keepers of other land3. Several projects for downtown Improve ments are under consideration. If they go through they will add materially to the ar chitectural appearanco of tlie quarter bounded by Grant and Smlthflcld streets and Sixth and Fourth avenues. The only one of these that is beyond doubt will bo an cfght-story ofllco building on Fifth avenue. Tho ground an entire block is owned by four or five wealthy people, who several months ago decide'd to erect the kind of building Indicated. Work on it will begin next j ear, unless present arrangements mis carry. Another improvement, of which there is little doubt, involves a business block on a prominent corner a little nearer the Court House. Mr. John Shaw says tho deal for the Speer property, on Duqucsne way, is progressing favorablv. It is consid ered the most eligible location In the lower part of the city for a large hotel, and is wanted for that purpose. t It has been pointed out on several occa sions that Pittsburg land values are lower than in any other city In the country. Here is a list of the representativ e pricos in Xcw York: The land the Drexel building stands on, tho southeast corner of Wall and Broad streets, when last sold, in 1842, brought tho highest price any land was over sold for in Xew York. Tho late William II. Vanderbilt gave HO per square foot for the land on which tho Vnuucrbilt mansions stand. In 1SSB $C5 per square foot for the land on Fifth avenue on whlcli stoi es stand, -f. el. Willis Snid fS5 per square foot forxlio land on road street now occupied by the 3Iills building. The Astors paid $100 per sqiiare foot forXos. 8 and 10 Broadway. The Will iamsburg Firo Insnranco Company, $115 per square loot for the site of their building, northeast corner Liberty stroet and Broud way. Mr. C. II. Love, who is a closo student of the real estate market, said yesterday: "Good crops in all parts of the country have induced a feeling of confidence among busi ness men which is seen and felt in all lines of trade. This is especially noticeable in real estate. It is healthy ami active. Sales within tho last 30 days havo been unusually large. Conditions are so fat orable the city is growing so i-apidly-th.it it is no wonder tho market is active and .firm. It would bo surprising if it w ere not. Soslness News and Gossip.

After the first 20 shares of Luster found a market at 12. At the third call 20 shaiesof M. and M. Bank changed hands at COJ. and IS of Exchange Bank at S7. There appeared to be a good sprinkling of buyers, bnt they wero not urcent, acting on the old theory that everything comes to him who waits. This policy has never woikerf satisfactorily. The time to buy stocks is when they are abnormnllv cheap. This is such a time with the additional incentivo of a bullish tendency throughout the specu late e world. The feeling was moderately bullish, as shown by results. Arsenal Bank advanced a point. Clmrtiers made an equal bulge. Philadelphia Gas put a traction to its credit. Tlie tractions wero steady. Luster im pt oved . Switch and Signal finished with a slight :;jin, notwithstanding lepoits that some of the bondholders a"e on the w arpath. Electric was crippled a little. Airbrake finished half a point better than tho open ing. Concessions would have been jumped nt, but that they were not made show s stocks are in hands not compelled to make sacri fices.

Baying for the Long Acconnt and Realiza tions on Profits Reading and Atchison Still Lead the Market The Bond Activ ity Not So Intense. New York, Sept. 18. The stock market to day was the most active of any day of the year, not excepting the days of the Novem ber panic. There was a great deal of excite ment attondlng tho trading at all times dur ing the day. There was a continuation of the buying for the long account by outside speculators, both foreign ana domestic. The covering of large lines of short contracts helpe I along tho npvvatd movement while they swelled the volume of business to un usual proportions. Another element in the day's transactions was the enormous realizations on tho profits accrued during the last fow daj s, and these operations duung the foienpon were the most influential factor in making the temper of the market. The opening was made at hlgherprices than those of last evening, but while Reading was np per cent, LouisvHIe and Nashville was down pur cent. Bead ing was still the center 01 speculative activ ity in tho forenoon, but the crowdof brokers In the spaces allotted to the different stocks was unusually large, and while Beading and Atchison still maintained the premier posi tion in point of activity, other stocks soon came to the front vv ith more substantial ad vances. The heavy buying and the heavy realiza tions of the forenoon kept the market in nn extremely fev erish state, the transactions footing up enormous figmes for the first hour. Toward n.oon, lion over, the lealiza tions slacked away under the stubborn re sistance of the market to the pressure, and the shoits came into cover. In the buying movement the Grangers were most con spicuous, and Kocfc Island, Burlington nnd St. Paul took the places of Heading and Atchison as leaders of tne matket.

CIIICAGO Sinco tho securing of the Im mense wheat crop without damage became assured, and since the scare over the Farm ers' Alliance "Hold your wheat" circular died ont, this market has had to look to the East for news calculated to affect prices. Houses with foreign connections In New York, say the traders here, have not been slow to take advantage of that fact, and have managed to seenre early advices of happenings in Europe calculated to affect prices, and, holding this intelligence nntil they have placed their orders with their commission men in Chicago, have been in a securo position betore the news became known to the trade in general. Aside from this. It is charged by local traders here that there aro more than grounds for suspicion that news was invent ed or doctored for the Chicago market in the interest of outside speculators. In evi dence they point to the numerous war scares nnd the like, and the very contradic tory market reports received. Sometimes Liverpool would be quoted lower to the pri vate wire houses when the pnblio cable to the board quoted it higher, and vice versa. Whether these charges are true or not, the market has for some time been kept in a very nervons state, and dealers have been more influenced by the charactor of the cur rent rumors and whether houses with New lork connections were buying or selling than by the conditions legitimately affect ing values. The result has been that New York has had all the best of It in the violent fluctuation which have characterized the the market and have succeeded in gauging the movement of prices with much accu racy, selling nt the top and buying nt the bottom, and making about all of the money made on the turn, except that made by St. Louis dealers, who have followed the lead of New York pretty closely. The accuracy with which the Now York speculators gauge the influence of news on this market wa9 well illustrated to-day. The enrlv cables were bullish and were accom panied by buyinz orders, and as a result the shorts got scared and tried to cover; but, finding no wheat for sale, they began to bid for it, putting prices np sharplv. Finally, after they had pnt the price high enough to give the early purchasers handsome profits, the New Yorkers begin selling and rounded up a good day's business with prices about where they left oil last night, nnd in good shape for another bull campaign to-morrow morning, if conditions favor. Wheat rnled strong almost from tho start and sola up lc, and held the advance with n good deal of stubbornness. Every nt tempt to cover a line put prices up instantly. December opened at SS&ffOOc. against; 9Sc at the close vesterdaj ; sold off to 9Sc, re acted, then, after a season of qnlet, lorgcd to $1 00, broke to 99c, soon after the noon hour on sales for New York account. Later there was a reaction, and it closed atosyc. Corn opened considerably lower on ac count of the continued fine weather in the Northwest, but the strength displayed by wheat caused the market to assume a strong tone- October opened at 52c. touched 51c, advanced to 53c, broke to 52Jc, and closed at 62c. against 52Jc yesterday. September was weaker, losing IJc. Oats were steady to firm with fluctuations ofe. Hog prodncts rnled strong and higher on a good demand nnd the firmness ingrain during the forenoon, bnt weakened with them In the afternoon.
