Friday, November 20.
Haw Iron and Steel Trade during tlie
week has been reasonably active. At the
ssme time prices continue very unsatis
factory, ruling at extremely low figures.
There seems to be no reasonable explana
tion of the lifeless condition of the iron
market for several months pat Ordi
narily, with ihe present amount of busi
ness, there would be better prices and a
stronger market. As matters now stand
consumers buy when they are forced to it,
and then they buy just what they want and
can use at once. In view of the low prices
prevailing producers of pig iron are not
anxious to force their product upon the
market, with few exceptions. Some of
them have withdrawn their stocks and are
refusing to sell at present rates ?njl are
piling their iron for a better market, which
they contend will be found in the near
Inture.
The stock of pig iron on hand November
3 was .i.M.iKXi tons: stocK on nana octooer l
was 2lO,0CH) tons. Increase for October 58,
000 tons. Increase in stocks of pisr ,iron
from July 1 to Xovember 1 was 118,000
ions. The above figures show pretty con
clusively that there is a good supply of
metal on hand notwithstanding the enor
mous consumption that is going on. The
present production is admitted on all sides
to he the greatest on record. "Within the
last month several new furnaces in the
South have commenced operations, and
there is quite a list of new stocks in that
region that will be ready to enter the pro
ducing ranks before long; so that indica
tions point to a still further increase, unless
the present enormous output should break
the market. At the rate at which pig is
being made the annual output will amount
to nearly 11,000.000 net tons, while the pro
duction Iat vear, the largest on record, was
only 10,;K)7,028 tons.
Supply and Demand.
Some welHnformed narties contend that
there is not a market for all the iron tha' is
now being made. Stocks are steadily ac
cumulating. The improvement in the rail
trade will no doubt help to prevent serious
accumulation of surplus stock. A well in
formed dealer has this to say: "To come
down to solid facts, it must be affirmed that
consumption is large, but that it is not equal
1o the supuly is shown bv the low prices at
which iron can be bought, the lowest on
record for many leading specialties. Never
theless, there is no feeling of discourage
ment, neither is there any need for it. as the
promised land is surely in sight. Ordinarily
surh condition as now prevail would be re
garded with dUmay, but when there is an
absolute certainty of relief within measure
able distance a little temporary incon
venience is something that can he endured
with at least some degree of equanimity.
Hardly anyone in the trade looks for much
improvement this year."
The I-atest Xo improvement was per
ceptible in values: in fact most descriptions
are weaker. Bessemer and gray forge sold
at various prices. No. 1 foundfv declined
with sales at'?15 00, the lowest ibr a long
time. Steel billets are weakand lower. The
volume of sales shows up fairly well. The
outlook, however, is not very encouraging.

SAGGIHG AGAIN AT BIEMINGHAM.
Tim Market Gels Back to 'Where It "Was
Berore the Kie.
Bir.MiXGHAM, Ala.. Jfov. 2D. Special The
iron market has sajrsed aain, and -while
Quotations lia-e heen maintained they are
purely nominal, and the furnaces are be
Kinninjr to take what they can t;t.
Inquiries are slack, and tlie statistics
nt the enormous production Incline
furnace owners to concessions which will
lelieve stacks. The jreneral and controlling
re:ituic o: tho market in this district
throughout the depression has been to tueet
lirice and sell tho product.
The market may be quoted as follows,
though there i no hesitation in shading
thce figures: No. 1 foundry, $12 25: Xo. 2
loundrv. $11 50: Xo. 3 foundry, $10 73; gray
lorc, flO. In t-liort, the market is about
bark here it was before the late rise.
o Change at All in Chicago.
Chicago, Nov. 20. .Sfceeiarj Rogers, Brown
A Merwiu say: The situation in this district
lemains practically unchanged since our
last report. There is the usual run or car
load orders, with a lew 100-ton lots. What
activity it shown is confined to coke metal,
J-ake Superior charcoal being in no great de
mand. Prices remain unchanged. The
short car supply in the South continues to
interfere with prompt shipment, furnaces
initially cases having orders from 30 to CO
days overdue.

BOOMS AND BOOMERS.
No Opportunity for Wildcatting in
Pittsburg Real Estate.
A BOOM TOWN DOWN IN ALABAMA.
Two Pictures Showing the Advantages of a
Sloiv but Sure Market
FEATURES OF MONEY AND SPECULATION
Owners of Pittsburg real estate have
abundant cause for thankfulness in the fact
that they are not afflicted with a "boom."
Xothing is so dangerous to permanent pros
perity. A boom is alwavs followed by a
reaction.
The home market is in such a condition
that there is not much fault found with it.
The pronounced features are a good de
mand for business and residence property,
buying for investment and actual use, and
the almost total absence of speculation.
These are solid features, and leave no
ground for fear as to the future. The confi
dence of owners is sufficiently attested by
their refusal to make concessions. There is
a great deal of money seeking investment in
city and suburban realty, which justifies
the expectation that trade will be lively
soon alter the new year.
This is a pleasing pictnre, and it is amply
justified by the facts. Slow and sure is a
safe policy. "While it does not offer the
dazzling alurcment ot sudden wealth, it does
not involve the other extreme bankruptcy.
How much better this than a ''boom" and
its logical outcome financial "ruin.
Another Picture.
George E. Gibson, on his refurn from the
Hankers' Convention at New Orleans,
passed through the town of Fort Payne,
Ala. It had had a "boom." He savs:
"The train pulled up at a very attractive
looking little town and when I reached the
platform to take a view of it I discovered it
to be Fort Payne, which I remembered was
created by an Eastern company. The vil
lage, which contains about.2.000popuation,
is nestled in a beautiful little valley in
closed by hills rich in minerals. The
houses are of modern architecture, the
streets aro laid out with regularity and are
abundantly wide and numerous to accommo
date a metropolitan traffic. The place
boasts water works, sewerage, electric light
plant and 2b industries, some ot which,
however, are in a state of innocuous desue
tude. I met an intelligent looking native
standing in front of the handsome railway
station and had the following conversation:
" 'Is the company making any money?'
" 'It is not tryincto make money; it is
trying to borrow it.
" 'I see you have a fine opera house.
Which style of opera do your people prefer
Italian or German'."
" 'Well, so far this season all we have
had was a magic lantern show. ' .
" 'How is real estate?'
" 'It is all here but the agents have
gone.'
'"The edge, then, is off your boom?"
" 'Yes,' he said, 'but an'edge tool factory
is going up over yonder and we'll send it in
and have a fresh edge put on it.' "

Opinion Upon Easy Money.

other side affected to see more profit by
holding off.
The unlisted Tractions were the only
stocks that displayed any animation. Ten
shares of Duqnesno Traction brought 17. 20
Birmingham 1SJ. and 10 -Manchester ,37.
Tnere was also a salo of $3,000 Duquesne
bonds at M.
After the last call private offers for these
stocks wero fractionally below the above
quotations, but no transactions were heard
of. Tho opinion seemed to bo that the
slump Jiad about run its coarse. Judgine
from the easy condition of the money mar
ket this is a reasonable view.

SHARES BUOYANT AGAIN.
ALL THE GEXEKAL LIST, WITH S03I15
MATERIAL GAIXS.
A New Haying Slovemcnt, Beginning TVltU
the Tanderbilts The Industrials Also
Prominent, bat Secondary to the Kecog
nlzed Dividend Fay ers Sugar Makes Xo
Gain.
Xkw York, Xov. 20. The stock market to
day was not only decidedly more activo
than usual of late, but it developed a strong
bullish sentiment, aud the tone of the deal
ings, especially in the afternoon, was fairly
buoyant, resulting in material gains in many
of the leading active stocks, while the entire
list showed ome improvement over tho last
previous sales. The strength of the market
was due to a new buying movement started
to-day on" the information that the showing
of business of the leading railroads at tho
end of this year will be much larger than
that of the previous year.
The impression that all the Tanderblit
lines will divide larger sums than for many
years, has taken possession of tho street,
and tho investment buying of those stocks,
which has been going on for some time, has
at last had its legitimate result, and the
buying has spread to the rest, of the list.
Outside of those shares, the strongest
stocks to-day were Burlington and Qnincy,
which selling on an ex-dividend of llf per
cent, closed at the same price it did last
evening, having, therefore, regained the
dividend in 2 hours. Other strong stocks
not on the speculative list were St. Paul,
Wheeling and Lake Erie, Rock Island and
Beading. The Vanderbilts to-day fairly led
the upward movement, and, whilo the In
dustrials were prominent in the advance,
they were second to the recognized dividend-payers,
and the temper of the new
buying was seen in the prominence given to
many stocks which are prospective divi
dend payers in the near future, such as Erie.
The opening of the market was made on a
quiet business but with small fractional
gains in prices; but these gains were in most
stocks neutralized by the sales of the room
traders during tho forenoon, notwithstand
ing that the strength in the Vanderbilts had
become pronounced at that time. Later,
however, the temper of tlie market became
more apparent and the resistance met with
was insignificant, the trunk line stocks be
ing followed by the Grangers in tho upward
movement, which finally reached every
thing traded in. Sugar, however, was a
marked exception, and, while it was moro
active than for weeks, it failed to score any
material gain at any time of tho day, and
Cnallv closed at its last night's figures.
St. Paul came to the front in the last hour,
but after its sluggishness during the earlier
part of the day it was too late to make any
marked improvement. The preferred stock,
however, scored a handsome gain. Tho in
active list was not at nny time prominent
lor leatures, anu me t nnueruuts were tne
only shares which showed any life among
them, the Chesapeake and Ohio, Michigan
Central and Canada Southern, with Xickel
Plate stocks, making all the gains. The
market was never subjected to enough pres
sure to even check the rise, and the close
was active and strong at the top figures.
Tho gains of note include Xew York Cen
tral, 2;s; Louisville and Xashville, 1: Rock
Island and Canada Southern, ljjj, and Atchi
son, C., C, C. and St. L., Xorthwestern, Erio
and Wabash preferred each 1 per cent.
Kailrond bonds were strong like the share
list, but not relatively so active; but the
dealings wore very widely-distributed, and
with sales of $1,383,000 only two activo issues
were seeu. The most marked strength was
in Richmond and West Toint. The highest
and closing quotations were:

Markets in this line are practically the
same as they have been all the week. The
movement has been slow in lines of frnits
and vegetables. Dairy products, eggs and
poultry have been' active, and prices are
steadily on the advance. Strictly fresh
eggs are hardly to be had at any price. The
few offered arc gobbled up promptly at out
side quotations. Choice creamery butter
and high grade cheese are very firm, with a
drift toward higher iirices. Demand is good
for all ponl try offered, but there is little
doutt that Thanksgiving week will witness
abundant snpplies. Game is coming in
freely, aDd prices are well maintained.
Supp'ly of potatoes is more than equal to
demand and markets are slow. Florida
oranges are in excessive supply and prices
aro weak. Bananas are firm at quotations.

RUMORS OF A CORNER.
Tight Fqneezo In November Corn
Whether tho Czar Is a Boll or s Bear Is
Still the Question Agitating the Wheat
Pit.
CHICAGO The threatened Russian ukase
was again the controlling factor in the
wheat market. Indeed, so persistent and so
regnlarbave become the rumors that the
Czar's order prohibiting exportation from
Russia has been issned, and so regularly
have these rumors been proven false, that
traders are anxiously looking forward to
the-day when the ruler of the Eussiaswill
have made bis intentions known. Another
Russian ukase story was ont early to-day,
aud it was to this that the unsettled feeling
which xisted all day was attributed. Ad
vices from Xewv York were received early
this morning, saving, "Prohibition of wheat
decreed by Russia."
This caused shorts to cover and created
the higher opening. Liverpool coming in
higher, after the decline of yesterday, made
operators believe that there were, perhaps,
some truth In tue.rumor, and there was con
siderable covering by shorts and some buy
ing for a further advance. But there were
liberal offerings, a good deal of wheat
bought at the decline of yesterday coming
on the market, and this caused a reaction.
But the market was again strengthened by
further rumors regarding the prohibition of
wheat, and this time prices were carried to
the highest point, but again declined on a
report claiming the Minister at St. Peters
burg rofused to sicn the ukase, and still later
a report was received that there wai noth
ing in the early rumors, and that they were
false.
The onenincr was MSic hicher than the
closing of yesterday, but declined about JJc
from outside opening figures; became
stronger and advanced Jc; again eased off.
declining 1c; advanced lie; closed JiSK"
Iiizhor than yesterday.
There was a srent sensation in the corn
pit, due to the extreme anxiety of those who
wero short for the present month and the
rumors nf n. cornnr. November onened at an
advance of ljic, and in the course of the day
made a iurther addition of 5Jc to its value.
December and year corn were affected by
the scare in November, and advanced in the
course of the day lc over yesterday's clos
ingquotatlons, retaining a full cent of the
advance at the close. May felt the Xovem
ber squeeze to the extent ofJc advance at
one time, and left oft with a gain otic. The
cash market was in a rather disjointed con
dition on acconnt of the above-named sensa
tional jump, but prices wero favorably
affected, X'o. 2 selling as high as 53c.
The oats shorts took fright at the bulge in
Xovember corn, and forced the November
future up ljc in their efforts to cover. Tlie
May future tailed to keep pace with the ad
vance, and tno nearbv delivery sold at one
time at Kc above it. The market opened V
0c higher for both Xovember and May.
The former advanced to 33c, and the latter
to 3333Jc. Shortly before the close Xovem
ber turned down to 33'Xc. It recovered after
ward, and closed at 33JJc, the highest point
of the session. May closed at 33c, sellers.
The imagination ot some of the traders in
provisions appeared, from the reported re
ceipts of hogs this morning, to have been
drawn upon considerably yesterday, when
predicting what might be expected in the
way of hogs at the j-ards this morn
ing. The receipts were by no means small,
but, being considerably under the previous
estimates, and the demand for the time be
ing reported good, caused provisions to start
firmer and at some advance upon closing
quotations of the day. December pork
opened at $S 45, sold as high as $8 50, and
wound up at same price as it opened. Janu
ary, from 511 20, sold up to$U32nd closed
at $11 SO, being a gain for the day of 15c.
Lard was not affected by advices from Liv
erpool of 3d decline there. It followed
tlie upward course of pork and ribs, closing
with again of 10c. Ribs are higher at the
close to-day by 5c on May and 7Jc each on
'December and January.

VOCABUL1RT ot the Simians, by Prof.
Garner, in THE DISPATCH to-morrow.
TKE MAEKET BASKET.
Poultry, Eggs and Dairy froducts Firm
Fish and Oy.ters Scarce.
At tl)o Diamond Market fruit and vege
table stalls trade forthe week was unusually
light, and prices in the main are what they
were a week ago. In a jobbing way dairy
products are a shade higher than they were
last week, but the advance has not been,
sufficient to make much inpression on retail
markets. Strictly fresh eggs are very scarce
and outside prices are easily obtained. Alas!
for tho weakness of human nature, large
quantities of cold storage eggs are being un
loaded as fresh stock. Poultry and game are
not in as large supply this week as last, and
demand is good lor all that are offered.
Home raised grapes are things of tho past,
and Malagas are now to the front. Choico
Malaga and Tokay crapes are in good de
mand at outside prices. The storm- of tho
week pa't on lake and ocean bavo had the
effect of lessening the catch officii, and sup
ply in these lines ha not been up to de
mand. Select oysters are also in short sup
ply. Society events of late have called tor
floral offerings to an unusual degree, and
florists aro happy over results. Among tho
new thinzs in floral l'nes are hyacinths and
the lily of the valley.
