Steel Bails Xo sales of any consequence firo reported in this market. It is not def initely known here who has secured the or der for 5 009 tons of 100-pound rails for the Pennsylvania Company, for w hich bids were asked recently. It is hoped by those inter ested in the steel trade that the Pennsylva nia Kailroad will soon call for its require ments for 1892 Usuallv the purchase by his company is the sljrnal for buying by inany other lilies, and it is believed that the com pany will not repeat this vear its method pursued lately of holding off for a Ions; timo and buying in relatively small amounts. A very important share of its tonnage is that oi iglnating with the rail mills on its line, and it would seem the duty as well a the in terest of the company to give the mills all the benefits which helpful action can confor upon them. Prices remain unchanged at KM 0030 50 at mill. Miucc somo misapprtP hensiou might arise fioin It, we mar noto that a lot of about 3 000 tons of 67-pound steel rails rolled years since at Troy for a Xew England road, are being offered at $2S 50 tide water.

Humors that the sjudicate boldmga large amount of Scotch warrants was on the i erge of breaking up h.d a mcwliM depressing effect early in the week, but subsequently denials imparted confidence and s.ticngtnencd the market, wnile a largo turn-over of hematites pro moted a better feeling in tlint line. Stocks in Connal's btores remain almost stationary, the latest returns showing 439.000 tons hcotch and 117,00) tons Cleveland Latest sales of untanh were at 47s6d17s7d for M-utch, SS3 9d3Ds for Cleveland, and 49s for hematite. Pig tin has ruled lower, partly under the influence of the decline in copper, but chiefly under the -weight of sales of cash lot-, caused Dy the lailure of a prominent opcratorand the announcements of heavy shipments Iron: the Straits. Outside specu lative interest has been light, and dealings were chiefly in liquidation of outstanding obligations. It is understood that the con tracts of the suspended operator have been closed out, and the large quantity of tin turned over has passed into strong hands. This, along with good trade demand, has imparted a somewhat better feeling. " Copper Rises and Falls. Copper prices advanced somewhat early in the week, but subsequently reacted, leav ing the market in unsettled condition. The recent decline is not, in the opinion of well informed authorities, justified by the actual position, although spot stocks are shown to have increased 916 tons and the European visible supply 2 175 tons during the past month. Chile charters during October es timated at 2,000 tons. Transactions in fur nace material include 020 tons Anaconda matte at 10j per unit, and 250 tons Montana argentiferous on private terms. The tin plate market has been quiet, and absence of improvement in orders lrom America tends to create a weaker feeling, since the demand from other quarters is hardly up to the average at present. Some makers are yielding on prices, and have quoted as low as 12s 7Jd lor ordinary !Jesseaier3 for eaily delivery. The Metal Markets. Xew Toi.k. Xov. 5. Pig Iron dull; Ameri can, $15 735?18 00.

CHICAGO On the wheat market to-day there was fair business and stronger feeling. Trade was rather spasmodic, but on the whole the volume of business compared favorably -with thatot the past-few dn3"s. The decline from the opening figures was at tributed to cloudy weather here and every indication of rain, but advices from the winter wheat producing country-were not indicative of wet weather, reports saying thntwet of Indiana the weather was cool and dry with noitherly winds. The Cincin nati WfcvCiu-rcritsaid that the wheat crop condition is not improved. Tiie dry weather was probably the princi pal factor in the maikct, and "this, as well asttrong cables and other minors legaiding the prohibition of wheat exports fioiu Kussia and a reduction ot duty in Germany, had tone etlcct upon the maikct in general.

Eeported Sale of a Palatial Besidence in the Fast End to an Oil Man. OFFICE AND STREET NEWS ASD GOSSIP While general conditions favor a lively trade in real estate, there is one obstacle which appears to be too deeply rooted' to be removed; it is the belief of owners that by holding out they can get better prices. This attitude on their part is blocking many transactions. Owners cannot justly be blamed for en tertaining sanguine opinions. They have good reason for it in the rapid growth of the city in wealth and population. Land is their capital, and they would be more than human if they did not desire to get as mnch for it as possible. That they are able to hold it shows that the market is strong; and a reaction almost out of the question. It is safe to assume that higher values have come to stay. This is an important matter for the con sideration ot buyers. -They must enlarge their ideas. Many of them ignore the change that lias taken place in the affairs of the city during the last few years, and think they are being imposed upon when required to pay more tor property now than five or ten years ago. This is unreasonable. Eeal es tate, like everything else, is subject to the law of supply and demand. That the one has diminished and the other increased within the time specified there can be no doubt. This alone is sufficient to justify others in holding out for more money. An Interesting Euro or. It was reported yesterday that the hand some residence property of Mr. Henry Fisher, on the west side of Winebiddfe avenue, East End, had been sold to if prom inent oil man for 550,000. Liggett Bros., apents for tha property, were asked ior par ticulars, but declined to give any informa tion. The place is palntial in all its ap pointments and surroundings, and Mr. I'isher gives it up only on account of the necessity of seeking a milder climate for his wife, who is in delicate health. Buying and selling nre going on, and will go on, irrespective of values. People must be housed and must havo places in which to do business. Lands and houses are as necessary as food and clothing. Looking at the matter from all sides it appears that buyers, or the majority of them, are stand ing in their own light by refusing to pay present prices on the ground that by hold ing out they will get concessions. Nothing is more improbable. If they had bought last year they would have obtained lower figures than they can now. If they buy this year they will do better than they can next. It is simply a question of dollars and cents, which the mechanic and the working man ambitious of acquiring a home should carefully study. Business News and Gossip. Andrew Caster yesterday placed 565,000 in gilt-edged local securities. This is a sign of returning interest in reliable proper ties. The Allegheny County Light Company yesterday paid off the $80,000 mortgage on the recently purchased Bradley property, at the corner of Twelfth and Etna streets. This denotes prosperity. "William L.

HARD SLEDDING, BUT THE TEADEBS XOT DISCOURAGED. Increasing the Natural Gas Supply Threo of the Tractions Stronger and the Best About Steady Electric Badly Supported at Boston Bonds Moving. Stock traders hadhard sledding yesterday. Tho market was the dullest for a long time. .Thore were only two sales 10 shares of Air brake at 103 and 10 of Philadelphia Gas at There was no news of any value affecting local corporations, which, in a general way, may be said to be in good shape. Some of them are strengthening their position. Boston was looked to for inspiration for Electric, but failed to respond. The stock was weak. Philadelphia Gas was steady on prospects of an increased supply of tho now valuable, fuel.' Connection is being made with several new wells. The strongest of the Tractions were Citi zens', Pittsburg and Duquesne, and the de mand was greater than the supply. The fact that practically none of these stocks are on the market goes to confirm the re port that tho roads are doing more business than they get credit for. The Sharpsburg branch ot the Citizens' line will soon be in operation. The Duquesne is doing well on the Wilkinsburg branch if nowhere else. Considerable business was reported in the bond markot, showing that the iuvestoris again abroad. This movement will ulti mately react upon stocks. That values aie well sustained, with scarcely anything do ing, denotes a strong undercurrent of confi dence and especially or a rally.

NewYouk, Xov. 5 The stock market to day wns again subjected to considerable pressure from bear sources, and whilo dull for the greater portfon of tho time an'd entirely featuieles in the general list tho activity developed in a few stocks by the hammering operations of the professionals brought the total transactions up to a very respectable figure. The general list also sympathized with tho weakness in the few stocks which snflerod most pressure, but only in those shares was there any real weakness shown, and the losses for tho day were insignificant outside of tho few shares which received most attention. Money rates were easier to-day .and loans were effected as low as 4 per cent. The Coal stocks and the Grangers were tho features to-day, and the hammering of those shares was persistent and heavy, especially during the forenoon and the last hour, and in Delaware and Hudson, which was de pressed 3 per cqnt, and Lackawanna, oyer 2 per cent, although no apparent cause for such losses could be found other than vague rumors of trouble in the coal trade winch have been current since tho failure to limit the output for this month. t The Texas Pacific securities were raided again this morning, but littlo Impression was made excent in tho seconds, which fully recoveied after an official of the com pany had stated that it s in good financial condition nnd its earnings wero published, showing a very decided improvement. Tho stock was well held throughout. Outside of tho Coalers and Grangers Xorthern Pacific preferred and C, C. C. & St. L. were prom inent at different times lor weakness, but after a partial recovery only the Coalers were raided in the afternoon. The general list opened at insignificant changes from last night's figures, and sym pathized reluctantly with the declines in the leaders, but fractions were taken from the prices of everything traded in. and the end of the lorenoon saw the lowest prices of the day for most stocks. "Dullness nnd stag nation marked the dealings during tho greater portion of thpnfternoon.and the last hour was made the opDortunity for a "final drive at tho Coalers, which then lost the.re coverv they had made lioin the low figures of tho forenoon.

Country Produce Jobbing prices Ifo new features have developed in this line for some days past. Trade is reported quiet Supply of poultry is liberal and markets are weak. Creamery butter moves slowly at the decline already noted. Eggs that can be guaranteed strictly fresh arc very firm at outside quotations. Quality of grapes and bananas on the market of late is low, the major part of those offered being frosted, and prices are merely nominal for this class of stock. There is a firmer tone to potatoes in the past day ortwo, but no advance in prices. Apples are in better demand since other fruits have waned. Since Hallowe'en is a thing of the past, there has been a sharp decline in nuts nnd prices are lower, as our quotations will disclose. Bitttek Creamery.

Guy, who, the colored man had been told, wanted them for the purpose of embellish ing the expected Republican triumph. The children oi the town thinking it some 'sort of an Italian monkey show had turned out in force to escort the menagerie, and the members of Mr. Guy's family were hard put to in the effort to retain their equanim ity and temper, while for a long time they fruitlessly endeavored to moke the would-be vender understand that he had been mad the victim of a rather cruel hoax, as he had lugged the animals about seven miles. Ho finally was made understand the situation, and it would not have been well for the jokers had they encountered him while his ebenezer was exalted. Two coons will be sold cheaply lor want of use.
