IRON TRADE REVIEW.
The Home Market Weaker, With
Bessemer on the Decline.
HUMORS OF A STEEL RAIL SALE.
The Sales of Pair Iron for September Break
Previous Records.
HOW THE MAEKETS CLOSED ELSETCIIEEE
Office of riTTsnuuo D watch, J
FlilUAV. Oct. 9.
Haw Ir.ON and Steel Business during
the week has not been very 3tisfactorr, at
leat to the seller. To effect sales the
Blinding of prices was again resorted to, not
withstanding the "fact that pig iron here is
celling lower than in any other market.
This is not generally the situation. There
is a good deal of business doing of Tarious
kinds, but prices are irregular, feverish and
very uncertain. Confidence is far from
being restored. In regard to improved
prices no person is willing to venture an
opinion. One thing i certain: Trade can
not continue in the present condition much
longer. Jlost of the city furnaces are well
fold up, and are not anxious to make fur
ther contracts at prevailing figures.
Tlio Situation in the East
is thus described by a leading iron man.
"A large business has been done during the
past t o weeks, and trade is still abundant
at prices recently ruling. Sellers are try
ing to secuie better prices, and in some in
stances have succeeded in doing so for de
liveries during the first quarter of the com
ing year: but for ISiU ir is hard to secure
anv" clearly defined advance. Practically
sellers are getting more money, as conces
sions that were almos. unavoidable a little
while back are now completely done away
with. The supplv of iron iR very large,
and while the demand is equally so, if gen
eral appearances are any criterion, better
prices are not verv far distant Several
brands, both local "and Southern, are held
for an advance on previous prices, which
shows that order books are pretty well filled
up. It is seldom that sellers begin to talk
higher prices until they have about all the
business they can handle."
A Difference of Opinion.
Ileports from the Shenango and Mahon
ing valleys are rather conflicting, as fur
nace men don't hold tha same opinion in
regard to values. At the same time sales
of pig in the valleys are fully abreast with
thoe tbi. govern the Pittsburg market.
Freight- to Pittsburg arc 70 cents per ton;
at the same time there is a good deal of iron
from those districts that find. a market
here.
.Sew steel rails are steady at enrrent rates;
a. rumor was abroad that a sale of 50,000 tons
had been made to a foreign country, but th;
figures could not be learned. Scrap mate
rial continues Ann and inquired for, es
pecially Xo. 1 It. It. Other descriptions com
mand lair prices. Old iron and steel rails
held llrinlv at current rates; tlie rornier is
very scarce and will soon be numbered with
things of the past as steel has taken the
place of iron in the manufacture of rails,
bteel billets Sales for some time past have
been unusuallv large: prices weaker, but
chow no quotable change. Mnckbar Sales,
earl delivery, at previous rnces.
The Latest The roartet is weaker for
certain descriptions. Bessemer sold at very
low flgqres. Gray fonre shows no declino
compared with last week. Steel slabs and
billets less active and prices maintained.
Muck bar shows no change in alues. Old
milt lion and steel scarce and held firmly
at quotations. Scrap material There was a
pood demand for certain descriptions. Skelp
iron A steady demand continues nt lull
prices. Ferro'manjrance Domestic is held
at an advance. The outlook is not very en
couraging. The factxhat another firm asks
an extension, did not helpthc markot at the
cloc yesterday.

HO CHANGE IN FIGURES
In tho Cincinnati Market Although the De
mand Remains Normal.
Ciuci-s-nati, Oct. 9. Special. Kogers,
Krown & Co. say: No important change.,
have occurred in the market during the
past week. Demand has been normal, and
Jt has been met without any change in
figures. Certain Southern furnaces are re
ported to have booked very large contracts
for next year's deliveries at a slight ad
vance on current figures. Generally the
trade has been willing to make such sales.
Tho conservative viow is that prices can un
der no circumstances go lower than they,
now are, while all general indications point
to an improved demand next year, which
must lne5-itably mean Improved prices.
Productive capacity Is now fully employed
both North and South, and anv considerable
increase In consumption would quickly
Stake a scarcity of iron.
At the closa of tho cek a number of quite
large consumers are endeavoring to cover
for next vear's requirements on current
basis of price. Sellers who were making
such contracts two weeks ago are under
stood to have filled their furnaces pretty
full and there is a disposition on the part of
others to keep out of such engagements
unless at figures that would show a lair
profit to the furnaces. Carwheel irons nre
still lather s4ow sale, although some size
able transactions are reported. The rail
roads are not entering tho market for cars
as fast as it was expected they would when
the new crop besan to move. There is an
improvement in the carload trade as tho fall!
bnsinessiTip.ri"i.sesnmomr the smaller foun
dries. With a few exceptions foundries;
report their orders gradually increasing, buti
nothing iu the way oi n ooora.
ACTIVITY AT CHICAGO,
A Number of Good Deals Closed There
Dnrlng the Tast 'Week,
Cnic.vGO, Oct. 9. Special. Rogers, Brown
& Mcrwin say: Activity in the Chicago pis
metal market still continues. During the
past week a number of additional round
deals have been closed, these being divided
mainly between Northern and Southern
coke irons. On the latter, deliveries in a
number of cases have been well scattered
and close figures made. While there has
boon no change in tho outlook, or the gen
eral range of prices asked, many of the
larger Southern companies concede thnt the
market is likely to remain on about the
present basis during the rest of the year.
Sonic companies still look for un advance
of .50 to $1 per ton this year, with further
stiffening after January, but the num
ber of these is small. On tho other
hand prices which have been in force
for the past 30 days are well
maintained. Some additional transactions
have occurred in Lake Superior and South
ern charcoals. Tho former $17 60 cash, Chi
cago, has bcon shaded. It is claimed, how
ever, by furnaces which have sold below
this, that they are now holding firmly at the
price named. Othor brands which enjoy a
more extended reputation arc well sold
ahead andare holding at $13 SO, Chicago, as a
minimum.
An encouraging feature is the fact that
several round orders for cars have been
placed by leading railway lines, and other
denls are now pending. It is conceded on
all hands that the railroad companies must
be heavy buyers of rolling stock. Such
lines as piaco contracts during the present
autn-rn will unquestionably save money
over prices which will prevail during the
first half of the next year.
A LULL IN BUSINESS.
The Briskness In tho Birmingham Market
Falls to Keep Vp.
Birmikobam, Ala Oct. 9. SpeciaL. The
briskness in the iron market last week,
which sent nominal quotations up, has not
continued to increase, though the points
gained are maintained Tho market has
been quiet for the week and inquiries arc
onlv fairly steady. The hopeful feeling con
tinues, and the confidence of producers in
a steady advance by gradual approaches is
unabated. The quotations f. o. b. at the fur
nace remain nt: No. 1 foundry, $12 50; No. 2
foundry. $H CO.- No. 3 foundry, $10 75; gray
forge, $10. Concessions below these figures
are determined by the size of the order, and
are made whenever necessary to effect
sales.
A BLIGHT FALLING OFF.
Business Not Up to the Average of the Fast
Tew Weeks at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Oct. 9 Special. Kogers,
Browu & Co. say: There ha9 been a fair
amount cf business done in iron this week,
but the average has not been quiti up to
the two or three preceding weeks. Largo
lots of steel slabs and billets have been sold
at concessions of 25 to 50 cents per ton.
There is still some complaint among con
sumers of iron in regard to slowness of col
lections., and failures here and there
throughout tho State seem to cause a tem
porary feeliug of uneasiness.

ANOTHER M DEAL.
;Five Acres in the Highland Park Dis-.-
trict Jnst Picked Up.
SOUND CONDITIONS HELP TEADE
Prospect of a Presbyterian Home for Old
Ladies at Wilkinslrarf .
OFFICE AND STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP
Highland Park comes to the front again
'with an important transaction in real estate.
Prof. "W. C. Lync yesterday afternoon pur
chased from P. H. Iiaufman five acres and a
fraction adjoining the park, and lying be
tween Heberton avenue and Farragnt street,
for ?22,000.
This deal is one of a series in the same
locality, and involves some extensive im-
provements which cannot be mentioned in
-detail until all the preliminaries are settled.
Presbyterians Make an Offer.
It was mentioned a few days ago that Mr.
Peter Dick had made an offer for the Hub
ley property in "Wilkinsburg. His figure
was considered too small, and was rejected.
It was learned yesterday on good authority
that an association connected with the Pres
byterian Church has made a bid which will
likely be accepted.
Should this deal materialize the building
will be converted into a Presbyterian Homo
for Old Ladies, for which purpose it is ad
imirably adapted.
Investors More Confident.
A tour of the real estate offices of the city
or almost any of them, will convince the
most skeptical that the market is more
active than at any previous time this year.
There is still some difficulty in getting sel
lers and buyers to agree upon values, but
that they are beginning to look through
the same glasses is shown by the amount of
business done week after week and day
after day. The inquiry is not confined to
any particular class of property or district,
but embraces all. .
Investors are no longer apprehensive oi
a stringent money market, but feel confi
dent ot a period of great local and general
prosperity. This is turning their thoughts
to real estate, and giving it a bulge which
is seen, heard and felt in all directions.
On a Sound Basis.
The tide has turned. A few months ago
there were apprehensions that the gold that
was being sent to Europe from this country
would cause a financial panic and tie up
enterprise of all kinds. These fears have
proved groundless. The yellow metal is
coming back by every steamer. It is shipped
almost every day from London, Paris and
Berlin. The receipts of gold during this
month promise to be the largest ever known.
That this will be a powerful factor in stimu
lating business in all lines cannot be
doubted.
The only dangers to guard against are
over speculation and the artificial manipu
lation of the money market by speculators,
and those evils will very likelv cure them
selves by distrust and discredit of their
arthors.
The B. & O. Dividend.
According to the financial ChronSdt the
Baltimore and Oh stock dividend, which
is promised the shareholders at the next
annual meeting, will, it is said, take the
form of a distribution of accumulated pro
fits, rather than a dividend out of the year's
surplus. Since the payment of dividends
was suspended a very large amount of
money that realbr belonged to the stock
holders has been invested in the property,
and the dividend will distribute alarge part,
if not all of this sum.
It is intimated the dividend will be not
less than 20 per cent, and it mav reach 30
per cent. This means the addition of
3,000,000 and $4,000,000 to the share cap
ital. Business News and Gossip.
The Smithfield street puzzle has been
solved, but the Cherry alley mystery re
mains. The latest reported sale on Boquet street
was at the rat:: of $65 a front foot.
Agents say there is very little Smith

A good-sized deal is pending on Third
avenue. It involves the erection of a six
story business house.

HOME SECURITIES. .
A ViSRY NAKBOW MARKET AND NO
NOTABLE FBICE CHANGES.
Traders Assume a Hesitating Mood Valnes
. Unaffected by Trouble In the Iron
Trade No Particular Pressure to Sell
or Buy Other Features.
The stock market yesterday was dull and
grnenlly uninteresting. The report of
fresh trouble in the Iron trade bad no effect
upon values. It was thought it would soon
bo bridged over.
There were some, orders for Philadelphia
Gas, and it advanced a fraction. Luster also
improved a trifle. Switch and Signal con
tinued its upward career. Electric was quiet
and rather weak, notwithstanding the state
ment that the company is doing a paylug
business. Central Traction made a slight
concession, but the rest of the street rail
ways held their ground. Tho rest of the list
was tame.
Tho only sale at the first call was that of a
small batch of Electric Scrip, at 63. Sales at
tho second call were 05 shares of Switch and
Signal at 10 and 30 Luster at 11. Tho last
call was a gooso egg.
Bids and asking prices at each call are ap
pended. ,

ALMOST EVENLY BALANCED.
BUT THE BULLS HAVE SLIGHTLY THE
ADVANTAGE OVER BE IBS.
A Fairly Steady Market in Stocks Large
Additions to the Outstanding Short In
terest The Losses and Recovery of
Hocking Valley Are the Features.
New York, dot. 9. The stock market to
day was practically a repetition of the last
two days, and in the main a steady contest
between the bear and bull factions among
tho local and professional trading element,
and after mild fluctuations in both direc
tions the advantage rests with the latter
party. The operations of the last few days
have undoubtedly added largely to the out
standing short interest in tne market.
The opening was heavy nnd lower. Atchi
son bore the brunt of the early pressure, hut
the entire list moved ud slow! v. with here
and there more mnrked advances. Toward
2 p. 3f. the highest figures or the day were at
tained, when a rumor of a new issue of stock
on tho Hocking Valley caused a drop of
nearly ift per cent in tnat stocK, to wmen
the rest of the list responded and fractional
concessions followed all along the line.
Hocking Valley, however, recovered all of
the loss and the general list steadied, then
closed dull but steady.
The dealincs in railroad bonds were bar
ren of special features, but the tone re
mained firm without change of note among
the leading active shares. The total sales
wore only $894,000. The highest and closing
quotations were:

FAVORABLE CONDITIONS.
So ign of Disturbing Factors In the
Money Market.
All ehangos In monetary conditions aro for
the hotter. While full rates will probably
be exacted during the autumn and winter,
there ts not, remarks a compotont authority,
tho least sign that lenders are timid or that
the market will suffer from disturbing fact
ors. On this subject a leading New York banker
is reported as snying: "You can see that the
tone of the money market is much better.
The domand is large, and though the supply
of loanablo fnnds has increased since Octo
ber 1.1 think that 6 per cent will be tho
steady rule forall time transactions. At tho
8attio time lenders show every disposition to
accept tho rate, and I think are wise iu
doing so."
There was a good demand for local tnnds
yesterday, which was readily met and plenty
left for emergencies, should tliey arise.
Rates wore steady nt f7 percent. Bank
clearings were $2,007,883 73, and balances
$312,844 73.
At New York yesterday money on call was
easv, ranging from 4 to 5 per cent, last loan
4, cfosoil offered at 4. Prime mercantile
paper, 6fi7. Sterling exchango qniet and
steady, $4 79X for CO day bills, and $1 S3 for
demand.

THE MABKET BASKET.
Grapes Lead In Fruit Lines Better Demand
for Garden Stuff.
At the Diamond market fruit and vejreta
ble stalls a better trade is reported, but there
is room for further improvement before
business In this lino is satisfactory to tho
produoer. Tomatoes and cabbage, which a
week ago wero slow at 25s to 30c per basket,
are now active at 40e to 50c per basket. Cu
cumbers, cauliflower and cholco potatoes
are firm at a shade higher prices. In fruit
lines grapes have the call. Total receipts
for the woek have been close up to 100 car
loads, and our markets, so far, seem to take
-all offered, though In a Jobbing way prices
are a shade lower this week than last. Sup
ply of peaches is on the decline and demand
is also on the decline. Consumers laid In for
canning purppses heavily at the time of
plenty nnd cheapness, nnd while prices are
higher the movement is slow. Plums are
practically a thing of the past.
We note ns a feature of the week an up
ward movement of dairy products. Cream
ery butter in a Jobbing way is 2c hizher at
sources of supply than it was a weok ago.
Eggs, too, show an upward inclination and
are quoted higher. At the fish stall the sit
uation Is as it was last Saturday.
Trade is by no means brisk. Supply of
select oysters is short of demand, but all
other lake and ocean products go slow.
Florists report a quiet week, with many of
tho popular varieties of flowers things of the
past.

There is a very firm market for all choice
dairy products, particularly Elgin creamery
butter and New York cheese. Strictly fresh
eggs are firm ot outside quotations, supply
not being up to demand. It is rumored on
good ground that a large proportion of the
hen fruit sold for fresh laid is taken from
cold storage stock. " Vegetables are firmer
and a shade higher since the ndvent of cool
weather and threatening frosts. Tomatoes,
cabbage, cucumbers and Lima beans are ad
vanced. We note an improved market for
tropical fruits, with lemons as tno excep
tion. The latter have been chilled by tho
cool weather.

WHEAT STRONG AGAIN.
It Holds Firmly an Advance to Over SI.OO
Corn Strong and Higher, but Hoi
Froducts Weak and Lower Oats Neg
lected and Steady.
CHICAGO Wheat started out a littlo
"wobbly" this morning, selling on both sides
of last night's closins figures round the
openinp, then becamo strong, advancing
about ljic, and holding nearly all of it t;o tho
close.
December opened at 98J.c, sold to92Jc,
broke to 99Kc, then advanced witn imma
terial reactions to $I.O0Jf. In the afternoon
It eased off some on realizing sales, eolng to
$L00; tut on stronirer English cables the
prico reacted to ?LO0X and closed steady at
iJI.OOi.
Corn was stronger and higher largely in
sympathy with wheat, but partly on ac
count of the small receipts. Trade wns slow,
however. October opened at 5JJc, touched
52, sold to 52c without material recession,
but weakened near the end of tho session
nnd closed at 53c, against 52c at tho close
yesterday.
Oats neglected and steady.
Hog products were weak and lower on freo
selling by packers and liquidation by De
cember longs. The close shows a los of 5
15c in the nrice of pork, 2jc in lard, and
2c in ribs, except October, which is un
changed. The leading fntnres ranged as follows, as cor
rected by John M. Oakley Co.. 45 Sixth street,
