20 STEEL BAIL SALES Or IMPORTANCE
rRTECtM. TELXREAM TO THE DtBPATCH.1
KewToric, Nov. 5. The following is
the -week's review of the iron and steel mar
ket, to be published in the Iron Age to-mor-
row:
American Pig The report .of Southern
furnace companies is that they are pretty
well.sold up, and that considerable difficulty
1 being experiencoa through the scarcity of
cars. This ! the trouble experienced when
cotton bestirs to move. VTe quote: Northern
brands, $16 7518 00 for Xo. 1, $16 0016 30 for
X'o. 2 and $14 0014 50 for cny forge; Sonth
rrn Iron se-ls at $1,6 517 00 for Xo.'l, $15 50
16 00 for Xo. i $11 5014 75 for Xo. 3 .foundry
and$14 2511 50 for gray lorgc.
Spie-"lei:-en and Fcrro-Jl.ingnnesc The
spiegcl market continues exceedingly dull,
and Is nominal. In fcrrc-manganese there is
considerable irregnl irity, anil only a moder
ate buvineo is bcinc done. tVe oiiote: Ten
to 12 per cen $3 00024 00; 2- per "cent, $27 00
2S 00, and SO per cent femv 62 0063 00.
ltillets and Rods There have been some
. sale ofaomestic rods but no busine-s is re
ported cithe- in torcign. rods or in foreign
billets. "We quote: Domestic billets, $27 00
27 50 delivered: foreign billets nominiillv
til 00jJl 50, and domestic rods, $3'J 50Q37 50
tidew at.tr.
OnV Small Sales of Steel Kails.
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. We understand that these rails are
for the Ontario and Western section. The
rails have never been in the track.
Manufactured Iron and Steel Tne princi
Tjal event of thc.w oek has been the placing
of a contract with one of the large archi
tectural works ot thKcity for the ironwork
of the "Vorthen lmilding, which is to tak 5C0
tons sf foreign beam:,, American sections.
There are two largo structures which are
Eo'on to come into the market.and which are
expected to take about 5 000 to 6,000 tons of
material. The plate niaiket continues de

liritish Iron and Metal Markets Tne mar
ket for pig iron warrants, has been steadier
and ratlier more active. 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.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
A Fair Business and a Retter Feeling In
TVheat Corn and Oats Higher on a Good
Shipping Dfmaiid 1'roiisions Lose
Their Earlr Gain.
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.
Liverpool was quoted atjrld higher and
Londjn 3d hifher. Benin was 2Jic per
bushel higher and Paris lic per bushel
higher.
The opening wasabout tlu same as yester
tlav's closing to r. shade over, but q'uicklv
eased off JiJic,-then became stronger ami
with some fluctuation advanced Jilc, but
declined JiSIc and closed 14(04 lower for
December una unchanged lor May as com
pared with yesterday.
The demand for cash corn from shippers
was sharp. Xovcmbcr opened at 53c, sold to
K?i.c, oft to .Wye, and then back to 5SJc;
yejrsold Ironi 45Jc to4'5c; May wai more
active than cither futuio and stronger, sell
in; from 43c to 44c, and at 12 o'clock was
ixbout 44c. The market was generally strong
during the last hour and prices advanced to
4tle. Xovember held strong around 53
kic, while j ear sold to 4!c Xear the close
the speculative futures cased off some. Cash
rirn made a sharp advance, shippers com
peting briskly, and Xc. 2 sold to 5c
Oats higher. The shipping demand at the
seaboard was reported active and shorts
here wcie nervous at the start. Prices ad
vanced some, though most of the gain was
soon lost m vigoious celling. Xovember
started at 32e, but sold off t0 31c Decem
ber sold Tixmi 32lo down to 3iKc, while May
went iro:n 3.1 to 3.,;'c, but fell to 3c
Hog products were strong and higher
carl;, though much of the gniu was lost,
u lie receipts of live hogs ere 10,000 less than
pected and prices were SWIOc higher. This
started the market strong and higher, but
packers sold freely ata decline. January
poik sold from $11 40 to $11 5i. but broke to
$11 37,lf. January lard sold from $6 10 to
$6 42, but went off to $6 .15. Jan nary ribs
sold at $5 9 eased off to $5 S7H- The weak
ness continued during the last hour on
heavy selling by packers. January pork
sold off to $11 27J: January lard to $0 30 and
January ribs to 45 85.
Tne Iradlne futures ranged as follows, as cor

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

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.

No Fentnre in the General List, All Shares
Sympathizing With the "Weakness In the
Coalers and Grangers Money Easier A
Bnll Day.
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. The market closed quiet
nndweakatthe lowest prices of the day.
The important losses woiv: Delaware and
Hudson, 3: Lackawanna, 2; Wheeling and
Lake Erie preferred, B& Beading, 1: C, C,
C. & St. L. and Xorthem Pacific, 1 each,
and Burlington 1 per cent.
Kailroad bonds were quiet in the main, no
'animation being seen outside of the iToxas

sales, $1,325,000. The issnes traded In dis
played a dropping tendency w itliuut scoring

Tudesdat. Nov. 5.
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.

STBAIGHTOTJIS PLATED A JOKE.
A Conropolis Mixture of Coons, Colored
Man, and a Poor Director.
Though the Straightouts in the southwest
portion of the county humped themselves
to the best of their ability to secure the
election of tlitir ticket some of them found
time to play a practical joke on a colored
man and Poor Director "William JI. G iy.
About noon on Tuesday the family of the
latter were astonished by the colored indi
vidual putting in an appearance at the fam
ily residence in Coraopolis with two fine
specimens of the raccoon family, which he
said he had been directed to deliver to 3Ir.
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
