TROSf TRADE REVIEW.
A Falling Off in Sales During the
Week, but Some
BIG DEALS ARE UNDER WAY.
The Prevailing Opinion Is That Trices
Have Toadied Bottom.
UEfORTS FKOM THE CHIEF MARKETS
Office of riTTsmrr.a DisrATcn, )
Friday, Oct. 10.
Raw Ikon and Stekl Business during
the past week t.hows no particular change.
There is certainly a singular monotony, and
3t is almost impossible tc break awav from I
the conditions which harj controlled the
market for some time. Unless all signs
tail bottom prices have been reached, as all
must admit that when gocd Bessemer is
selling at S13 2,"i13 50 it is about time to
call a halt. There is no money for makers
at these figures. AVc know of a large mill
that husbecn holding oft' for prices to touch
bottom. The firm believes that time has
arrived. One of the members informed
the writer that they are now in the
market for a four months' supply of Besse
mer about 5,000 tons. AVc also learned of
another large firm that is in the valley mar
ket for a lot of 6,000 tons of Bessemer for
this year's delivery. The firm is not a
Pittsburg one. being located near a valley
furnace. They made an offer of 515 00 for
the amount named on the cars at the fur
nace The deal will probably be consum
mated. One of our iron brokers reports the
placing of a large order of steel plates for a
special contract. The tonnage will amount
to about 4,000 tons.
Vhat a Valley Fnrnace Man Says.
A letter from the Mahoning Valley has
this to say: "I think you quote Bessemer
pig too low. I have seen contracts of sev
eral thousand tons at S15 70, Pittsburg, and
I know of offers of 515 So having been made
during this week. Please note that valley
furnaccnicn have advanced wages 10 per
cent, which will have some cfiect on cost of
production. The rolling mills and furnaces
are well employed in the valley, all busy."
The present" drawback in regard to the
Pittsburg iron trade is want of confidence,
but this is being slowly restored. When
that is accomplished you may look out for a
vcrv active trade.
The volume of business during the week
has not been up to the average of the trans
actions for some weeks past, and there is
therefore a slight weakness in some
"branches, but this has in no way checked
the growth of the confidence in tfie future.
The lull in the demand being regarded as
only temporary, some of the leading dealers
nre not, disposed to sell to any extent at
present prices, preferring to hold their iron
until the demand improves, which is con
sidered to be a question of only a short time.
The inquiries are of such a nature as to give
encouragement.
The Kastern Markets
A well-informed dealer has this to say
about the Eastern market: "On the whole,
pig iron appears to be the strongest on the
list, as the bulk ol the business is at better
prices than during earlier months of the
Tear. Buyers caunot place orders on as
favorable terms a heretofore, no matter
what the quality mny be The very low
priced makes a-e relatively as firm as the
standard qualities, and in no case is there
anv necessity for hold rs going a besging
forbids."
The Latest Sale during the week
moderate. The volume does not show up
as well a previous weeks. Bessemer sold
at very low figures. (Jray forge seems
firmer than some description's. Billets and
stabs weaker but not quotably lower. Muck
bar tliows no change. Charcoal sales were
1he most liberal for some weeks. Scrap
iron steady wiiii fair local demand. Old
iron rails no; so firm, buyers being indiffer
ent. C0E5. SMELTEll HI AND NATIVE ORES.

CHICAGO MAEKET ACTIVE.
Several Large-Sired I)-als Put Through
With Many More of Them Pending.
Chicago, Oct. IB. Special. Rogers, Brown
iferwin say: General ac4ivity continues
to characterize the Chicago market. Anum
berof deals of size have been put throagu
during the past week, and others are now
pending. Coke irons, both Northern and
Southern, have made up the bulk of the
buying, hut Southern charcoals are in mod
erate demand and various inquiries are in
en this class ol metal, covering long scat
tered delivery. Trices remain on practic
ally the same basis as a week ago, though
there is a trifle more of firmness in produc
tions on the point of making long deliveries.
On tho other hand, some of the local coke
furnaces ot tln district are to-day making
1 impositions at present figures, covering de
Ivcrics during the entire year ot IHtt, but
the Southern companies are opposed to con
tracts of tills character, and with here and
there an exception, are not willing at pres
ent to sell bevond next spring, preferring
:vcn to restrict sales to Januarv L While
this is a fact, both coke and charcoal fur
naces concede that there is likely to be but
little chance in the wav of prices during
the lialnnce of the year. With one accord,
however. Ihcv look loramuch heavier de
mand and better figures after January.
I.akenperior!iiucoals are somewhat less

A Frofonnd Quietness Takes Possession of
the Slarkct at Birmingham.
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. IS. Special. The
iron market is again profoundly quiet, which
means that the situation prevailing for
many months has not been permanently
changed by the briskness two weeks ago.
The advance then scored has, however.been
partially maintained, and the market f. o. b.
at the furnace may be quoted as tollows;
No. 1 fonndrv, $12 25I2 50; No. 2 foundry,
$11 50ll 75; No. 3 loundry, $10 75g)ll 00: crev

During the past week thoonly idle furnace
of the De Uardeleben Company blew in and
another Sheffield fnrnace wen. Into hlast.
Tho difficulties that have lone beset Shef
field seem to have been partially overcome,
and two of the five furnace's there aro on the
active list, with prospects bright for the
other three.
The week has been enlivened hvn visit
from a committee of Louisville nnd Nash
ville Railroad directors, appointed at the
recent annual meeting to look into the mat
ter of a subscription to the steel plant here.
They save asaurances while here that they
would recommend a subscription of $100,000,
which would bring the total up to $650,000.
THE ST. LOUIS HABKET.
A Healthy Condition Prevails and Good
Orders Are Being Placed.
St. Louis, Oct. 16. Special. Rogers.Brown
A Mcachain say: Some good sized orders
wore placed in this market within the past
week, notably among the car works. South
ern furnaces are stitTening on prices, with a
certainty of realizing the advance, as con
sumption continues at a good rnte, and in
quiries from the desirable trade are quite
liumerous. The same healthy condition that
has prevailed in this territory for some time
is manifested on all sides. We auoto for

Instances of Enhancement on Some
of the Prominent Streets
DUE TO BUSINESS EXPANSION.
Prices Still Much Below Those in Other and
Less Favored Cities.
FEATURES OF M0XET AND SPECULATION
The advance in land values on the princi
pal streets of Pittsburg in the last few"
years, while considerable, is not out of line
with the progress of the city in wealth and
population. Growth and enhancement are
simply due to the legitimate operations' of
the law of cause and effect.
It was stated in this column a short time
ago that ?6,000 a foot front had been offered
and refused for the Schmertz property, on
Fifth avenue. This looks like a pretty
steep price, but when the depth of the lot,
240 feet, is considered, the figure is not so
formidable. It has been exceeded on Fourth
avenue and on Smithfield street, Five or
six years ago the same property, although
not in the market, was valued at about
53,500 a foot. That was the price paid for
the ground on which the Hamilton and the
Schmidt & Friday buildings stand. It
could not be bought to-day for double the
money. The increase in business on Fifth
avenue justifies the .enhancement, and that
owners so regard it is shown by their re
fusal to sell.
The opening of the new postoffice has
caused a diversion of business and travel to
the district of which it is the center, and
brought Smithfield street south of Fifth,
Fourth and Third avenues into prominence,
with the natural result of enhancing values.
For the lot on which Captain Vandergrift is
erecting one of the largest and finest build
ings in the city he paid ?2,000 a foot about
two years ago. It is now worth not less
than' $3,000. The appreciation on this
street within five years will average fully
50 per cent,
Enhancement on Smithfield street has
been no less rapid and positive. Three or
four years ago 52,000 a front foot was con
sidered a good price for property on this
street. Kow it is difficult to get it for less
than 53,000, and in some cases more is
asked. Mr. Messier was paid at the rate of
abont t-',o00 for the grouudlately sold by
him to Mr. Solomon. It is only GO feet
deep.
Values on Third avenue, between "Wood
and Grant, have experienced a slow but
steady appreciation. A property on this
street changed ownership in 1886 at about
510,000. It was resold last year at 526,000.
The Eahm property fronting the south en
trance to the new postoffice, the sale of
which was reported on Thursday, brought
almost 51,400 a foot front. Adjoining prop
erty is held higher.
There is nothing remarkable or abnormal
in these instances of increased values on
the streets named. The precinct of which
they are the main arteries comprises as
good business territory as can be found in
the city, if not the best; and with the bulk
of the "inquiry for downtown property cen
tering in this direction, enhancement nat
urally follows. Progress is catching. It
affects everything. Old values were as im
posing in their day as new values are in
this. Thev have been forced up bv the
pressure ot" business.
But big 06 they seem, they are still far
below those in other cities possessing
scarcely anv of the immense natural re
sources of Pittsburg. The steady advance
in real estate and the firmness of the mar
ket are the best evidences of general pros
perity that could be furnished. It ismerely
keeping in line with the expansion of other
interests.
Business News and Gossip.
A'deal in acreage down the Panhandle
railroad, involving 560,000 or more, failed to
go through yesterday, contrary to expecta
tion. Pennsylvania's dividend for the last half
of 1891 is expected to be 24 VeT cent 'u
cash. If 3 per cent it will be paid in cash
or stock, at option of holder.
Nearly all of the local business tronbles
have been settled. The outlook is growing
brighter.
The Twenty-sixth ward School Board yes
terday took out a permit for a brick addi
tibn three-story building on Sarah street,
Twenty-sixth ward, to cost 510,750. Per
mits for two small improvements were also
issued, both costing 51,075.
The outskirts are not as familiar to the
average citizen as they ought to be. Said a
business man yesterday: "It is not unusual
to encounter a man -whose only knowledge
of the suburbs is obtained from hearsay.
He has never seen them, and if called upon
to visit any of them would probably want
to take his" gun along for protection against
wild animals."
The result of the meeting of Oliver &
Roberts' creditors will be found in another
column.
George B. Hill & Co. and Henry M. Long
bought Pleasant Valley.
Exchange memberships are still quoted at
a low figure, but there are no sales. It is
bad policy to bear this stock.
The subscriptions to the new "Westing
house Electricjstock closed yesterday. They
were small here, but large in Boston and
New York.
Creditors of S. V. White & Co. yesterday
accepted the proposition to pay 50 cents on
the dollar.
John M. Oakley & Co. are exhibiting
some fine samples of block tin.
Movements in Realty.
S. A. Dickie & Co. sold for Dr. W. S. Tay
lor to J. S. and K. R. Walters a piece of
vacant ground on Penn avenue, east of the
city line, 156x123 feet, for $7,020.
James W. Drape & Co. sold two lots in the
Keystono plan, nt Crafton, for $700; also five
lots in Munhall terrace plan at from $300 to
$400 each; also sold a piece of ground on the
Allegheny Valley Railroad, adjoining Ve
rona, at $100 per acre; also sold a collateral

Figures About the Lowest of the Day
Leading Features.
Business at the first call yesterday was
quite active, but it tapered off at the second
and disappeared at the third.
There was a weak undertone, due perhaps
to a lack of supporting orders. There was

of the bears. As a general thing final prices
were the lowest of the day.
There was some inquiry tor street railway
bonds. For Citizens' Traction 53j05 was
bid and 106 asked. There was a bid of 103
for Pittsburg Traction, general issue. For
Dnquesne Traction stock 10f was bid for 200
shares, 16 was offered for Birmingham and
33 for Manchester. Electric scrip was of
lured at 70.

UP GO ALL STOCKS.
FOREIGN BUYING MOVEMENT
C APSES THE ADVANCE.
Atchison Leads the Dealings, bnt New York
Central Scores the Great Rise Special
ties and the General List Comparatively
Sluggish A Quiet Closi
New York, Oct. 1C The stock market to
day wasmore active and decidedlystronger,
material gains being the rule all over the
list. The chief impetus to the now upward
movement came from abroad, and the for
eigners were liberal buyers of all their
specialties.
Tho influences which led to this result
wero, first, the action of tho governors of
tho Bank or England in keeping their mini
mum lute of discount unchanged at 3 per
cent, the taking of the new Russian loan in
France and the general easier feeling in all
the European financial centers. D.omestio
operators didn't respond with alacrity to
this movement on the part of the foreign
ers, but enough new buying appeared to
keep the market moving along and to swell
the volume of business to respectable pro
portions. The material gains, however, were
generally among the shares having an in
ternational market, the rest of the list fol
lowing at a safe distance throughout the
dav.
The great feature of the trading was the
sharp rise in New York Central, which was
not only more active nina ior a, lung uiuu,
but nt one time showed a gain of 2 per
cent over its last night's figure, the buying
being based on a rumor that there would be
an increase in the dividend rate when the
next dividend is declared. Atchison again
led in the dealings, but it was comparatively
sluggish when compared with other stocks,
even though it closed with a material ad
vance. The goneral list and specialties were
never prominent in the market, and, ns a
rule, wero traded in within narrow limits
and scored insignificant gains tor the day.
The traders again hammered the list, and
succeeded in bringing about a temporary
check to the upward movement, but prices
were soon again moving upward all along
the line. From the first half hour there was
no real interruption to the steady advance,
and among the stocks mentioned the gains
assumed material proportions as the day
wore along. The strong and confident tone
was maintained to the end, and the market
finally closed quiet Dut strong at or near the
highest prices of the day. The importnnt
gains include: New York Central 1; Louis
ville and Nashville, 1; Union Pacific, 1;
Northern Pacific preferred, 1J. and Lake
Shore, Atchison and Missouri Pacific 1 per
cent each.
Railroad bonds felt the new stimulus to
trading, and the market was not only de
cidedly more active than usual ot late, but
a strong tone mnrked the dealing through
out the day, leaving most of the active is
sues materially higher than last previous
sales. The Atchison income and Colorado
Midland 4"s were most conspicuous. Total
sales, 785,000. The highest and closing quo
tations were:

WELL SUPPLIED "WITH "FUNDS.
Signs of Increased. Ease In Money and
Larger Baslucss.
Tho local money market continues to rule
quiet and easy, with funds sufficient for all
calls, nnd rates steady at C7 per cent. All
first-class paper is readily taken. Discount
ing yesterday was up to the recent average,
and counter businc-a was active. Bank
clearings were $2,450,009 33, and balances
$514,257 H.
A New York authority says: "The slack
ening of tho grain movement leaves the
Western money markets well supplied with
funds to meet the demand which may re
sult from the Increase ot activity in general
business throughout the agricultural dis
tricts. As a consequence, although lenders
aro not willing to put out funds on time at
less than 6 per cent., the volume of sucli of
ferings daring the past week has been no
ticeably greater, giving the market an easy
tendency which lias been long absent.
These conditions would certainly le id to
the conclusion that, within a reasonably
short time, increased case in money will
react upon and stimulate general trade."
At Now York yesterday money on call
was easy, rauging from 3 to 3J per cent.;
last loan, 3; closed offered at 3; prime
mercantile paper, 5Ji7K: sterling exchange
quiet nnd firm at $4 8Jfor 00-uay bills and
Jt c'4 for demand.

THE MABKET BASKET.
Dairy Products and Garden Stuff Move to
a Higher Level.
The upward "movement of choici dairy
products and garden stuff are the features
most prominent the past week in the line of
market basket materials. High grades of
creamery butter have not been as scarce for
years as they are at this time, and prices
have advanced fully five cents per pound in
the past ten days. The sharp frosts in the
early part of tiie week gave a fresh impetus
to garden stulT and prices in this line are
moved upward. Peaches are still to ,be had,
but demand is light. Grapes have the lead
in fruit lines, but receipts have declined the
past few days and markets are firmer. At
the fish stalls trade Is reported only fair.
White fish and select oysters are scarce.
Stewing oysters arc plenty and markets are
slow. Soft shell crabs are tilings of the past
and frogs are very scarce. Florists report a
quiet week's trade with prices unchanged.
Staple incuts rarely change whatever the
ups and downs of live stock.
Following are latest retail prices of mar
ket basket filling:

.A FINANCIER'S SUICIDE.
It Is Caused by Losing Speculations In the
Stock Slarket.
BOSTON, Oct. 16. Irving A. Evans,
whose suicide is reported from Suncook, X.
H., is a well known State street banker and
broker and is a son of Alonzo JJ. Kvans,
President of the I'ive Cents' Savings Bank
and largely interested in financial insti
tutions in Boston. The suicide has created
considerable excitement on the street, but
anxious inquirers found the office of Irving
A. Evans & Co., in the Fiske building
closed and no one in authority willing to
talk about the matter.
It is a fact that Mr. Evans had been los
ing money on both sides of the market for
some time and had become enibarassed.
His personal and professional pride was
such, however, that he would not tell of his
troubles and ask assistance, and some little
time ago he temporarily retired from active
participation in the work of the firm and
went to New Hampshire "to rest." I' 's
understood that Mr. Evans' liabilities will
be met by connections of the firm, and that
there will be no failure. Mr. Evans has of
late been so despondent over his losses in
the stock market as to have been mentally
unbalanced.
A DEAETH OF BUTTER.
Demand for Creamery in Excess of
Supply and Prices Firm.
LATE FitOSTS RAISE VEGETABLES.
Cereal Markets Still Fairly Steady and
Prices Firmer.
GROCERIES QUIET AND UNCHANGED
Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, 1
Friday, Oct. 16. (
Country Produce Jobbing Prices
There is a great dearth of fancy creamery
butter in this market, and outside quota
tions are easily obtained. Oleo is preferred
to common and low grade butter by the
average consumer. Strictly fresh eggs are
firm at a shade higher prices. The late
frosts have very much stimulated prices of
fruits and garden stuff. Potatoes are com
ing in freely of late and markets are quiet.
The frosts have sent grapes upward and our
quotations are advanced in accordance with
the facts. Peaches still linger, but demand
is light. Tropical fruits are on the gain as
home-raised fruits decline. Lemons are
scarce and firm. New figs begin to put in
an appearance, nnd Malnsra lemons will be
due in a few days. The near approach of
Hallowe'en brings better demand lor nuts.

There are no new developments in this
line. The general movement is-slow, and
prices are essentially as they have been for
some days past. Since the fruit-canning

brisk, and prospects are for a still further

WEAK GRAIN MARKETS.
The Non-Conflrrnatlon of Russian Enmors
Takes the Starch Oat of "Wheat Corn
ami Oats TVeak Most of the Day but
Strengthening Later.
CHICAGO The tone of wheat this morn
ing was exactly the reverse of that which
prevailed at tho close yesterday. Then it
was strong on a report that the Russian
Government had prohibited the exportation
of corn. This morning it was weak because
the report was not confirmed, and a report
coming from New York to the effect that
Russia had cutoff the exportation of oats,
was treated with ridicule. The result was
that shorts, who were such eager buyers
vesterdav, were ready sell-rs this morning
In spite ot fair buying orders from Now
York.
Cahles were weak and lower. Receipts in
the Northwestwero heavy and the weather
there was clear, though the Weather Bureau
predicted rain to-morrow.
Tho offerings were in excess of the de
mand. Tlio market opened lower, receded
gradually during most of tho session, then
reacted some on rather better cahles and
good buying by shorts, who chose to accept
their proflts. December onened at 9S
7ic, sagged slowlv off to 97c, reacted to
c and closed at 9S!4c. t
Corn was exceedingly weak, partly in
sympathy with wheat, partly on account of
the lailure to confirm Russia's reported pro
hibition of corn exports and partly owing
to the increasing receipts of new corn, 15
cars having arrived to-day. Longs were dis
couraged, and such as had not liquidated
yesterdny sought to market their stuff, but
found few buyers. In the competition to
get rid of it October fell from 5252c at
the opening to 51Jc, but reacted later as
shorts took advantage of the nreak to cover,
and this sent the price np to 52)catthe
close. A good demand for cash corn toward
the end of the session was also a strengthen
ing factor.
Oats were quiet and easy during the first
half of the session, but Armed up with other
cereals near the close.
Hog products were easier. The short de
mand seemed to have been pretty well sat
isfied yesterday and tho local longs were
inclined to sell, while the outside demand
was light. Tho tendency was downward till
the latter part of the session, when there was
a partial recovery with corn. Fork ia l'-K
17c lower; lard, '7Jc, and ribs, 37fc.

THE 0. AND M. ABSOBPXIOrT.
Its Immediate Consummation Depends on
the Action of Court To-Day.
Cincinnati, Oct. 16. The adjourned
meeting of the Ohio and Mississippi stock
holders, representing what is known as the
Baltimore and Ohio interest, was called to
order at 11 o'clock this morning, but inas
much as the lawyers on both sides had gone
into court to fight the battle out there upon
a motion to dissolve the injunction and
mandamus obtained last evening by tho
Baltimore and Ohio party, it was deemed
inadrisable to proceed with the election un
til the court had passed upon the question,
so the meeting took a recess until tiding
should come from the court, and the stock
holders entertained each other with stories
while they '.vaited.
In the court room the real battle was
fought. Mr. Ramsey, acting for Mr. Smith
ami the American stockholders of Ohio and
Mississippi, in support of his motion to dis
solve the restraining order and thus render
effective the action of yesterday whereby
the election was postponed until November
19, said the sole purpose was to gain time to
enable the stockholders to more fully in
form themselves concerning the negotia
tions lor the absorption of the road by
the Baltimore and Ohio. Mr. Barton and
Mr. Kamsey argued for the motion and Mr.
Colston opposed it. He claimed that tha
adjournment was a trick to delay matters,
and that Mr. Smith knew all about ther ne
gotiations. He also claimed that the viva
voce vote on adjournment was illegaL At
the conclusion of the argument the Court
took the papers and announced that a de
cision would be rendered to-morrow morn
ing. When this news was conveyed to tha
stockholders' meeting they adjourned until
11 o'clock to-morrow.

Too Cold for Rain Experiments.
San Diego, Tex., Oct. 1(!. The Gov
ernment rainfall expedition has been pre
vented from proceeding with the experi
ments at this point by unfavorable weather
during the last two weeks. The party ar
rived in the midst of a series of ram storms
and waited for fair weather before operat
ing, but the rains have been followed br a
cold norther, which has prevented further
progress in the experiments.

IMPROVEMENT. THE PP.OJnSE OP
CURE. No array of words can give a
dyspeptic one-hair the hope that comes irom
the relief which always follows the use of
Burdock Blood Bitters, and the promise of
cure is never broken.
"Having suffered from dyspepsia for two
or three years, I decided to try B. B., and
after taking one bottle I found myself so
much better I got another bottle, and after
taking that I had no more need of medicine.
"MBS. G. C. WHITE, Tabenr, N. Y."
Don.'t pay for daily bread and then groan,
with dyspepsia when a bottle of B. B. B. will
give you relief. Repeated tests with uniform,
success prove that dyspepsia cannot with
stand B. B. B.
"I have taken the second bottle of Bur
dock Blood Bitters, and it bas cured me of
dyspepsia with which I uffered for six
yeais. - "W, VT. HAMILTON.
