THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 26, 1891; 11 IRON TRADE REVIEW. Sales Show Up Fairly Well, but Some Shading Is IJcported. THEPBICBOFBESSEHEE WEAKENS. The latest Trade Fnrrrise Not Much of a Market Disturber. DOW TniNGS LOOK AT OTHER CENTERS Office or Pittsburg Dispatch, Friday, Sept. 23, 1891. Kaw Iron axd Sti:el Trade for the week shows no improvement in values, in fact the very reverse. In certain kinds a weaker feelinc; prevails and in order to effect sales "shading" was resorted to to Brins in new business. There is a lack of confidence anion; dealers that interferes materially with business. It will be some time before confidence can be restored to the place it held before the late failures were mane pulinc. .As usual a. wide ailler ence of opinion exists. Some contend that the lowet prices have been reached and that the next movement will be favorable to furnacemen. Others advance arguments showing that tlie large amount of produc tions will still force prices to a lower figure. In support of the fir.st theory certain furnaces have withdrawn their stock-from the market nnd refuse to accept prices cur rent at present. The Last Surprise Unimportant An Hi-tern paper lias this to say: "Tho announcement that one of the largest and oldet Pittsburg concerns had been obliged to ask an eten-ion fiom its creditors has had little effect upon the trade, for the con dition of thi- firm had been known for sev eral weeks to those w ho had intimate busi ness relations with the company. Tho causes of this embarrassment arc more per sonal than general, and this orcnt can Iiardlv bo ascribed to the general condition of trade." The very latest in regard to this firm is that matters aro progressing favorably to a sitisfnctorv nrrangement, nnd that the near future will see it in good t.hapc and doing l)uslncsa-usual. A comparison of Drices for September, lc90, shows the following: Sept. !", 1S!V1 Bessemer J13 so (Srev forge. ..$15 25 S-epi.2S.lvn HeM-eincr. 15 CO Grcj- forge... 13 S3 !ert. 25.

The demand orall descriptions of finished Iron and steel continues active and seems to be on the increase, last week's prices being steadily maintained. From all w e can iearn there arc strong evidences of a revival of the steel rail trade; inquiry is more active and orders for several round lots are said to have Been placed. News from the Mahon ing and Shenango Valleys shows that fur naces are generally running to their full capacity: pi ices there being steadily main tained. Scrap material was in good de mand. No. 1 R. R. being most fancied, Skelp iron, nai row grooved and sheared iron show n slight advance: w ide grooved unchanged. The Latest sales liberal, but no improve ment in values. In some instance shading was reported to in order to effect sales.

Bales on the Increate, Slaking the Outlook a Still Mere Favorable One. Chicago, Sept. IS. fijciot "losers. Brown A Jlcrwin say: Considerable activity in the way of sales of pig metal has charac terized the market during the past week. A numb"i of l ound deals bavo been closed on both Northern and Southern cokes, a notice able dogree of activity having existed on the latter, tirades sold beve been mainly Nos. 2 rfnd 3, foundry and gray forgo, l'rices have in nearlyovcry case ranged below- what lias been considcied as the bottom market. .More than this, some exceptionable long de liveries have been made,one sale of 500 orfcOa tons gray Jorge Having been taken by a prominent Southern firm for deliveries run ning 12 months beginning with October, and "tec tlil-i deal was put through on the basis of uottoni flgute-,, no advance in price beiii" secured cen for tho long scattered de liveries. Transactions on Lake Superior charcoal Iron ha e been light. Some deals, bow ever luiic lici-n put through with car wheel man uraiM in er- and cm l.uildcrs: prices made on tlii-Mj sales have been clo?e. southern char coal s in Letter demand, and inquiries nre in lor some round lot.-, for deliveries run ning wrll into next year. The general sit naMoii continues good, hot weather during flieln-tien dajs having earned the corn crop almost entirely out or danger from cany lrosts nnd the need in manv sectiotis now is for bountirul rains to break the con tinued drouth. Astlmwook clo.es the out jok is good for free selling of jiiir metal during ihc haluncc of tlm vmr inoih,.ri. denco uccuuiulating indicates that whilo prices may fluctuate somowhat there Is like ly to be bnt Httlematerial change. NO CHANGE IN PRICES At Cincinnati, but There Is a Great Deal of Business Under "tVay. CrsctKNATi, Sept. 23. Special. Rogers, Brown & Co. say: A good deal or business has been placed 1vv all leading sellers sinoo our last report. N material change Is to be noted In prices. tAincesslons that were com mon a month ago are impossible to obtain, unless for occasional lots for spot delivery and cash. Gray forge Is generally firmly Hold at S10 at Birmingham. Some surprise i3 expressed that tho current demand should be equal to the current rnto of prodnction, which is very near to tho top notch. Tho fact that this is the case, in spite of the very small consumption by railroads and allied industries, is deemed a strong argument tor a better iron market. Consumption wns never so large for mis cellaneous purposes in tho history of the country as it is at present. Iron pipe, stoves, agricultural machinery, architec tural work, etc., are calling lor more iron than ever before in the history of those trades. Northern irons have not felt tho Improved spirit as much as Southern per haps, bocaue tbeywere not as much de piessed during the low prices. There is a disposition, however, not to take forward contracts unless at higher prices. Charcoal, irons aro not in improved demand, though better things are expected before long. Softeners are moving out more freely than for some time past. Old car wheels nro be coming scarce nnd have advanced $3 per ton from tho lowest prices. SOUTHERN FURNACES BUSY. Tho Heaviest Production Ever Known In Alabama Jfow Under Way. Birmikoham, Ala., Sept. 25. Specoi For the first time in the history of the Biiming- ham district all the furnaces arc in blast but one, making the heaviest prodnction ever known in Alabama. The feeling is moro hopeful than for 12 months, and for tho first time in that long period of timo furnace owners feel that they occupy vantage ground. They have contrived by making concessions to dispose of the large output, and the now expected rise will find them well sold up. They are now refusing to sell much ahead at the top of the market quotations. In quiries are more numerous than for a long while past, and ready sales give coloring to the hopes of producers. Whether the hope ful feeling that prevails derives anything from the buoyancy of temper natural to the latitude or not, the quotations given out have not advanced, being still at the old figures, as follows, f. o. b. at the furnace: No. 1 loundrv, $12; No. 2 foundry, $11; No. 3 foundry, $10 50: grey forgo, $9 75. At New York yesterday money on call was easy, ranging rrom 4 to 7 per cent; last loan, 4: closed offered at 4. Prime mercantile paper fiK7; sterling exchange active and heavy at U 80 for 60 day bills and $4 S3 for demand. THE ST. LOUIS JIABKET. Small Orders Coming in. With No Change off Any JEspeclal Consequence. St. Louis, Sept. 23. Special Bogers, Brown A JUenchani say: 2o change worthy ot note has taken place In the pig iron mar ket during the past week. The orders that have been placed since our last report have been small and for prompt shipment. Tho demand for old car wheels is quite liberal, which has caused an advance In price of about $1 to $1 50 per ton during the past two weeks. The Southern furnaces are now more firm in their views, end we do not think that prices which wore quoted ten days ago could be obtained now. We quote tor cash f. o. b.

In Some Lines It Is Unprecedented in the History of the Market. Philadelphia, Sept. 25. Special. Rogers, Brown A C"., say: The iron maikct shows fuither signs of Improvement. The demand for foundry iron among makers of stove plate is unprecedented. Although tho week ly pig iron production is within a fraction of the highest point ever reached, yet the accu mulation or iron on hand at fnrnaces is not very large, aud furnaces seem indifferent about soiling very far ahead at present prices. If the railroads had the money topurchase much need d railsandequipments we would have a voritable boom. They will hardly be in shape to buy before next spring. Metal Markets.

Frnlts and Vegetables Never Lower Ocean Products Dull. In fruit lines grapes have had the lead the past week, and prices have reached the low est figure of the season. Top price of Con cords in-a Jobbing way Is ISc a basket, and Dela wares nnd Niagaras are 33c per basket. With the great nbundunce or peaches on the market this season clings are repotted scarce. At the Diamond Market fruit and vegetables stalls trade for the weok Is re ported dull. Garden stuff of all kinds moves very slowly. While producers complain, consumers rejoice. It has been many ayear since the market basket was filled at such low prices as theyaro filled at this time. A year ago tomatoes were ceiung at $i per unsnel and active; now they are slow at 30c to 33c per bushel. The same difference in prices prevails all along the line iu vegetables. The hot weather or the week has ptoved adverse to the fish and oyster trade. Said a leading dealer in this line: "About all wo aie able to make this week will not much more than cover our ice and express bihs." The hot wave of September seems to have upset many calculations for game. Staple meats ate among the articles that change not. Live stock goes up aud down, but tenderloins and roasts arc the same in price as for a j'ear or two past. Florists re port a better trade this week than last, with prices unoltangcd. Some important society events have, brought strong demands on flowers within a lew days.

Conservatism the Ruling Feature of the Local Market. INDICATIONS OP MORE ACTIVITY. f St. John's Parochial School Project Hung Up by an Obdurate Owner. OFFICE AND STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP The project for a parochial; school on Penn avenue, near the Porks of the road, is in suspense. The St. John's church people recently bought a site at that place for such a building, consisting of twoJots separated by property owned by the "Hrs. Mary Scott estate, whtch they expected to buy. This would give them sufficient space for the building and grounds. Herein is tho trou ble. "Mrs. Scott's heirs refuse to sell at a price which the church people feel able to pay, and the result may be the abandonment of the enterprise altogether, so far at least as the locality is concerned. Negotiations are still in progress, but unless the belrs re duce their figures there is not much pros pect of a deal. A Striking Contrast. Pittsburg conservatism, tho policy of "looking before you leap," presents a sharp contrast to tho oxtruvagnnt Ideas enter tained In many of tho Western citios, which are beginning to reap tho fruits of their folly. Prices altogether out of proportion with tho earning capacity of property have been paid, and skyscraplng buildings have been erected under the stimulus of exorbi tant rents, when not required by the legiti mate demands of business. This lias been carried to such an extent that many of these superfluous houses nre vacant. Pittsburg Is full of buildings, big and little, lust fin ished or under way, but they are absorbed as fast as they are made ready for occu pancy, the only exception being that of high-class dwellings, which are, perhaps, in advance of the demand. Business houses and small dwellings, as everybody knows, are'sbort of requirements. The first case remains to be leported ota judicious in vestment in Pittsburg realty resulting in a loss. Conditions Favor a HevlvaL The forward lmplulse In other lines of trade must inevitably react on tbo real estate market. Every part or the City Is full of push and enterprise. Trade Is active. Zfon-residents are making investments in business and residence properties, with a view to locating here. The rapid transit system, already the best in tho country, will soon be reinforced by several additonal lines, will penetrate new districts aud estab lish new settlements In the suburbs. It is fair to predict that the sale of business and residence propel ty in the next year or two will exceed anything heretofore known. All signs point to a largo influx of people. "Extravagant Ideas. The following from -a Fourth avenuo broker is to the point: "Too many persons seem to think that all they have to do to get rich Is to buy real estato, wait a week or two and get whatever price they may ask for it, and feel blue If tnoy don't. This is all wrong. There really is no speculation in land like there Is In bonds and stocks, as it Is tho basis of all loans and the price is controlled by the demand, use, etc.; nnd because real estate is not going up $1 or $2 per foot front every mouth and tho owner can't realize a great enhancement in u short time is no evidence whatever of the market being dull or prices weak." lioslness News and Gossip. There will soon be an unbroken line of building between Shadyside and East Liberty. Changes to the Hostetter building are ap proaching completion. Tho elevator will be completed to-day. It is rumored that several large European orders aro In the market to buy silver. Seats on the Sew York Consolidated Stock and Petroleum Exchange are reported as be ing $400 bid. "Messrs. ilea Bro.'s & Co. still have hopes of making such a settlement with White & Co., as will enable them to resume business. The interest on tho second mortgage bonds of the Western New York and Pennsylvania Railroad, due October L will be paid in scrip at the rate of 5 percent per annum. Walter Morris reports that sales of lots at MOundsvtlle, W. Va., on Wednesday, aggre gated $CB.250. The last bond of tho old seven-year $230,000 issue has been sizned and turned over to the Allegheny County Light Company, and the work or ex .anging $250,000 ot the new $300,000 20-year issue for tho old issne, bond for bond, will bo immediately commenced by tho Fidelity Title and Trust Company. Tho following from a local broker is not far from the point: "People who will specu late had better stick to such securities as are bandied on the Pittsburg Exchange Although some of thorn may bo rather damp, they are tangible properties and possess a value which is recognized in the money market." The tobacco year at Danville, Va., closes October 1, and tho sales will foot up 40,000, 000 pounds, the largest ever made In a single year. Walter Morris and Thomas W. Aisbitt have formed a copartnership for dealing in real estate. Both are well and favorably known. John D. Bailey yesterday sold 25 shares of Mechanic's National Bank stock at 112f.

Hopeful of Resuming. Sales of stocks on call yesterday were largo enough to strengthen the hope that tbo season of requesting is not far off. Tho improvement in business was accompanied bya buoyant feeling. The feature of the day was the sale of "00 shares of Birmingham Traction, in thrco lots, at a fair price, under present con ditions, but the effect will likely be to put up the quotation. Tho demand and ex pected advance aro based on reports of good earnings and the belief that the property Is about tho cheapest thing in tho market nt present prices. Central Traction scored an advance, and Pleannt Valley wns firm. Pittsburg Traction held advnnced ground. There wns a quiet demand for Phila delphia Gas, which sent it up a fraction. Bnyors of this stock are moving very care fully. Tho rest or this group was neglected, bnt the absence or offers showed that hold ers were in no hurry to unload.

SO Union Pacific Missouri Pacific and Canada Southern the Leaders, Closely Followed uy Several Others The General List Strong Railroad Bonds Quiet. New Iobk, Sept. 25. The stock market to day was not so active as that of yesterday, but it was still an unusually active market, while displaying a temper in marked con trast to that of its predecessor. The wholo list, with only ono exception, was decidedly strong, and the operations of the day showed that the desperate attempt to break the market yesterday was a comploto failnro. It was also demonstrated that tho attempt resulted only in a large increase in the out standing interest, which in some stocksmay bejudged from the fact that notwithstand ing that money was in active demand at 6 per cent throughout most of the day, the bears wero compelled to pay 132 for the use of Union Pacific In order to make their de liveries. The scare among holders was exceedingly short lived, and after the opening this morn ing there was an excellent demand rrom all portions or tho world. Union Paciflc,Missouri Pacific and Canada Southern fairly led. fol lowed by Rook Island, Lake Shore, Wheel ing and Lake Erie common and preferred, Burlington, Atchison, and Louisville and Nashville. Union Pacific and Missouri Paci fic were the centers of attraction, and whilo the transactions in Atchison were lanjor than those in Misouri Paciflo its fluctua tions were bv no means so important. The dealings in Union Pacific, however, footed up to a larger total than those in nny stock since the present upward movement began. The Grangers and Villards werengain a good second in the market, but the Vandcrbilts showed tho mot strength, and Canadian Southern, Lake Shore and Chespeako aud Ohio shares made most substantial gains on comparatively light transactions. Union Pacific, after a more regular and feverish opening, was again attacked, and a drop of 1 was made, its lowest price being 38: but Missouri Pacific wa strong from the outlet and steadily mounted until it had touched 69J, a gain of kC from its low figure or yesterday. Union Pacific, how ever, soon Joined the procession nnd rose 4 per cent to 13. The remainder or the list made substantial progress, nnd beroro the advance culminated losses were abont recovered. There wero realizations in tho afternoon, but tho best prices were well held, notwithstanding that the two leaders reacted matorially. All excitement died away toward tho end or session and the business became very small, but the market .finally closed active nnd strong at or near the highest prices or the day. Among the active stocks Union Pacific is up 2; Missouri Paciflo and Canada Southern, 2"; Lackawanna, i: North American, 2; Atchison, , and Reading, 1, the rest or tho list generally showing gains of from 1 to per cent. Railroad bonds were again comparatively quiet, the sales of all issues reaching only $1,578,003. Tho market failed again to sym- P'ttuizo witn me movements in share-i, any while the tone .was strong there wore few important movements, and the general list is only slightly higher this evening.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. A Material Difference Between Tight Money and nigh Money. It ha s been stated that Pittsburg bankers are not apprehensivo of a stringent money market. New York bankers hold the same opinion. The fact that manipulation has been practiced to make high quotations is npparcnt.and should be convincing as to tho artificial nature of any fears entertained in this connection, even if gold was not coming from Europe at the rate of from $500,000 to $1,000,000 a day. The following remarks on this subject are important: "There isn great difference Detween a tight money markot and a mere high rate money market. Wo had a tight market last year. That is to say, people who had money didn't want to lend it on any terms. At pre sent capitalists are persunded that they can claim full rates for money, but they show a confident disposition and put their money out freely. With the exception of a few 'cliqned' fancies thero Is nothing on the stock list which is not accepted as collateral. Will we have high rates for money? Yes. Buta stringent money market? Put it down as decidedly, no!" There was a good business at the city banks yesterday. Tho demand for loans from manufacturing and mercantile sources was liberal. Rates were steady at 07 per cent. Funds were in ample supply to meet all calls. Bank clearings were $2,149,229 00, and balances $405,059 81. Closing Bqnd Quotations. D.

A Blue Day for Speculators In -Wheat Cora Strong and Fairly Active Onts Quiet, Firm and Steady Provisions Weak at First, but Becover. CHICAGO Wheat ruled weak and lower to-day. Tbo news wns generally bearish. Cables were weak andlower. Now Yorkalso fell off nearly lc, and all the other domestic markets were lower. Additional bearish foatures were tho reported failure of a prominent grain house in Antwerp, and tho purchase or wheat for future deliveiy there and at Paris wero said to have been canceled and thrown back on sellers' bands. December opened at 97c, against OSJcat the close yesterdny; sold down to OTJc, then on free buying by shorts to take profits, rallied to Kc, eased off some, advanced again during tho last hour on renewed covering hy shorts, going up to DSc, but did not hold the advance, receding in the last few minutes and closing at 97c. Tho final weakness was due to a let-up in 'the short demand and to late cables quoting Berlin lower and Paris and Antwerp unchanged. Corn was strong and fairly active. Open ing sales were at a slight decline compared with yesterday, but the demand was rather sharp, the local receipts being smaller than expected and the estimates for to-morrow light. There was a steady advance in val ues for some time, but the market eased off tome. Shorts covered freely. Shippers were active buyers, and thero was good speculative buying. October opened at 46 049c, sold to 49fe, broke to 49c, rallied to 49e, eased off some, then grew strong again, advancing to 50c during the Inst hour, the purchases or snippers nnd some leading commission houses driving the shorts to cover. The close was at ifljc. Oats wero quiet, firm and steady, with the usual narrow fluctuations as of late. Hog prodncts wero weak and lower in the early trading, owing to short sales of port, but tho market grew steadier during the tatter pare oi too session, as mo opinion ue came prevalent that the sales were for the purpose of making a soft market to buy on. The close shows a loss of K12KC 'n pork, 510c in lard and 1022fc in ribs. The leading futures ranged as follows, as correct ed bv John 51.
