Friday, December 4.
K.vw InoN and Steel. Business since
our last has not been on a very extensive
scale. Consumers keeping their work run
ning; have only been purchasing amounts
sufficient to tide them over the present
month so as to be free for the new year,
when a new set of books will be opened.
There is little change to note in values; in
fact, none is looked for until after 1892 has
been inaugurated. The stock of standard
brands has been well sold up. Some large
dealers are holding their stocks above pres
ent quoted prices, considering the raw ma
terial better to them than money offered.
On the other hand, some sellers will accept
present rates for round lots, provided the
time of delivery is satisfactorily arranged.
I'ittsburg Not In It Yet.
Pittsburg to-day is the dullest market
Eat or "West; prices are comparatively
lower ail around. This ought not to be, but
it is a fact all the same. The Eastern mar
kets are in a very flourishing condition; the
improvement that set in a short time since
continues, and evidently came to stay, at
least that is the prevailing opinion among
men who ought to know. A leading dealer
remarked; "There is a larger demand for
pig iron; merchant iron and steel rails have
been and are gaining strength under this
influence. The railroads have been important
factors in producing this change lor the
better, both by purchases of rails and by
placing orders for cars in large numbers.
The railroads are by far the heaviest con
sumers of iron and steeL Their require
ments cover a great variety of products, and
when trade in this quarterassumesan active
condition its influence is felt very widely in
the iron and steel trade."
Steel Kails lor This Market.
Orders for spring deliveries of steel rails
are better than for some time. Mills here
are well supplied with orders. Carnegie &
Co. have this to sav: "The inquiry for
steel rails is good. There has been a steady
demand, the best for many years. For a
long time that portion of the general busi
ness of the country has been away down,
but there is nothing to complain of now,
and there is every reason to believe that it
will continue, not alone for this fall or win
ter, but that the time ahead will be full of
activity. In fact there is no reason to
doubt, from existing indications, that while
this year will continue good, next year will
be much better."
The active demand for steel rails is cer
tain to be followed bv an active demand for
most descriptions of iron and steel. The
vear of 1W2 will undoubtedly show the
largest business of any year in'thc history
of the American iron and steel trade.
An Knconrasiucr Outlook.
The Lati-st The outlook during the
past -J hours shows considerable improve
ment. Ttie demand for Bessemer has im
proved, and values are tending upward.
The same can be said of gray forge. As
noted in our last review, bottom prices have
certainly been reached. Steel billets and
.slabs maintain previous values with a good
week's business. Muck bar is quiet and un
changed. Old steel rails are active and
firmer, and so are old iron rails. New steel
rails are active at f.'iO per ton. The out
look for business is rather more favorable.

o Improvement in Prices, lint Prospects
Are Quito Encouraging-.
CiNciMiATi, Dec. 4. ISJieciar. Kogers,
l;ro n & Co. say: The market at the begin
ning of the week did not look very encour
aging, but during the latter part considera
ble selling has been done, and some of tho
existing indications'aro ratherinore cheer
ful. There is no Imnroveruent in prices, but
several large transactions that have been
closed show that buyers are ready to antici
pate their wants when concessions are ot
tered. Jiailroads naturally do not wish to
advertise the lact that they mimt place or
ders liberally lor cai-e. rails and supplies,
for it would undoubtedly affect prices. It Is
known, however, that orders of considerable
size have been quietly placed:, and rnanv
more are to follow. Buyers of steel billets
Imve been trying the market and
in some caes have succeeded in
finding sellers lor six months deliveries
at present quotations, but most producers
refuse tosil so far ahcad.s Charcoal foun
dry irous arc in fair demand at unchanged
prices. A few orders have been taken for
Lake Superior charcoals that show an ex
treme degree of weakness on the part of a
small number of ttirnaces. Nearly all
standard brand's aro held witli considerable
firmness, and owners are not anxious for
contracts tlmt would entail a sure lo-. Quo
tations are elimigeil to indicate prices at
which iron cm be houiht forearly delivery.

UTILE INTEREST AT CHICAGO.
Trails Js Itctter, Thoagli, Than It Was
Twelve Months Aco.
Cuicmio Dec. 5. Special. Ilogers, Ttrown
A ilerwitt say: "The Chicaso market has
shown hut littlo of interest during tho past
week. The bulk of business ha1 been for
small lots for short deliveries, with tho ex
ception of here and there a good-ized sale.
This is in .iceordance with the U3ual condi
tionsat this season of the year, as mantifnc
tmerMiiake it a point to run down their
stocks beroro takinir inventory January 1.
-.to pnee, both Northern and Southern
furnaces- show a disposition to make conces
sions for desirable business; this is brought
about bv the accumulating stocks in both
districts. The present is therefore a trood
time for consume to buy ahead, but, as
usual when prices are ranging low, but little
disposition exists to take hold. Largo manu
facturers here all realize, however, that
while temporarily weakness exists in somo
quarters tco market has alreadv reached or
dropped below the cost 'of production, and
that there can be little if any change below
present flgnrcs. as production is certain to
be cut down by wholesale blowing out of
furnaces if present nriees long continue,
and tho situation will therefore rectify it
self. "Business in all metal line continues on a
healthy basis. The trade in general is in a
lar better condition than was tho case
twelvo months ago. JIanufncturcrs and
eonswnicrs have retrenched, with the result
that to-dav their liabilities are much smaller
than usual, and they are in good condition
to handle a lat-jc "expansion of business
when the time comes."
NOT ISACTLT DULL AT ST. L0UI&
The Usual Ran of Itnyinc lleing Done For
This Season of the Year.
St. Locis, Dec. 4. Special. Kogcrs, Brown
A Jlcacham say: The market cannot be
considered dull, at the samo time there is
only the usual run of buying for this season
of the year. The car works have nearly
covered their contracts for several months
to come, but more business from the rail-i-oads
is in stent, and heavy buying will
naturally folloiv. The demand for
Southern irons in small lots " is good.
A number of sales of Lake Superior iron are
reported at exceedingly low figures, and
consumers of this class of material are
stocking up. Considerable inquiry for Ohio
irons is noticed. The outlook is encouraging,
and even though prices realized are far be
low what was expected six months ago, the
volume of business makes up the deficiency.

NEW SIGNS OF DISTRESS
As the Holidays Approach the Market at
Southern Headquarters.
Birmingham, Ala., Dec 4. Special. With
the approach of the holidays, the iron mar
ket shows new signs of distress and is now
back to the lowest point it has at any time
reached. The situation is natunillv ex
pected to grow worse, if anythins," until
after the new year conies in. The demand
is light and sales slow, and the 1st of Jan
uary will find considerable stocks on hand
in this district. The market is quoted f. o.

The coal trade continues to share the gen

securinean outlet lor their product. All
local conditions are somewhat disturbed by
apolitical canvass of unparalleled bitter
ness, in which the removal of the convicts
from the mines is the chief issue and the
miners' vote the bone of contention.

THE KITCHEN MARKET.
Tresli Vegetables From the South Are Now
on the Stalls.
Market basket materials have undergone
few changes in the week past. Came and
poultry ale in supply beyond the wants of
trade, and in these lines markets are not so
active as they ere a week ago. Dairy pro
ducts are also weaker and only choicest
grades arc in demand.
New vegetables from the sunny South are
coming to our markets much earlier than
usual. On the Diamond Market stalls fresh
peas, beans, beets, cucnuibers and lettuce
from New Orleans can be had by those with
whom cost is no serious item. Strictly
iresn epgs are scarcely a quoinuie. quantify.
Tim few that arrive arc promptly taken at
outside prices. At the fish and oyster stalls
trade for the week is reported "only fair.
Frozen fish are on sale, but only experts
can tell the difference between frozen and
fresh fish. Supply of oysters is sufficient for
all lemands, but standard brands are steady
at prices quoted. Staple meats are the same
in price, but consumption has declined the
past week or two, owing to the demand for
poultry and came.
Florists report a quiet week with prices
practically the same as a week ago. Chrys
anthemums are near the end of their career
for the season. Orchids are coining to the
front, and choice ones are in good demand
at outside prices.

SOME CLOSE FIGURES NAMED.
A Down-Town Deal That May Be Tart of
One of the latest Hotel Schemes.
A TEM AYENUE KESIDENCE PICKED UP
It was reported yesterday that Black &
Baird had sold a piece of downtown busi
ness property for 46,000. Jlr. Black, of
the firm, was asked for particulars, but said
he had been requested not to talk at pres
ent. But he admitted the sale had been
made, and said the property was located
near Seventh avenue. This transaction
may be a starter for the big hotel which it
is proposed to erect in that locality.
T. A. Gillespie has sold the property ad
joining his residence on Penn avenue to a
prominent Fifth avenue merchant for 520,
000. The lot is about 50x400, and the house
is a good two-story and mansard frame.
It has been set back on a line with other
houses on that part of the avenue and thor
oughly remodeled.
Some Close Figures.
The realty market, though comparatively
slow, as it usually is in the last weeks of the
year, is a great deal more active than it ap
pears upon the surface. There is a good in
quiry for downtown business property, and
also for suburban residence sites, showing
that there is money for investment. A
number of deals areso close to the final
point that in most cases consummation is
only a question ot a little time.
On this subject Samuel "W. Black said
yesterday: "We have an offer of 511,000
lor a propertv held at 512,000. "We have
another oiTer'of $23,000 ior a $25,000 prop
erty, and also an offer of 2,500 for a 53,000
property. "We have other offers on higher
priced properties, which are very little be
low the views of owners, but the above fig
ures are sufficient to emphasize the fact that
sellers and buvers are not hopelesslv apart.
and that there is good prospect of reconcil
ing existing differences."
Then and Now.
The contrast between November, 1891,
and November, 1890, is so striking as to be
a subject of general remark in business cir
cles. On this subject a leading New York
authority says: "In November, 1890, the
Baring collapse occurred, eight "Wall street
firms and one prominent Philadelphia
house closed their doors, moner was run up
to 186 per cent in one day, and prices for
stocks dropped from one to ten points in
two hours, while bonds sold at the lowest of
the year. Then, too, the crops were small.
On the other hand, November, 1891, was
almost exactly the reverse.
"The foreign situation certainly is any
thing but favorable, but London is not af
fected to any considerable extent, and our
dealings are chiefly with that center. Eu
ropean crops are 'a partial failure, while
ours are abnormally .large, while our rail
ways are unable to obtain sufficient cars to
handle the large business offering, and our
exports are steadily adding to our credit
balance."
Homes for tte People.
De Boy Bros, took out a permit yesterday
for five brick two-story and mansard dwell
ings, on Chestuut street, Sixth ward, to
cost $10,000. Another important permit
was issued to Biggj Bros., for two frame
two-story and mansard dwellings! on "Web
ster street, Fifteenth ward, the cost of both
being estimated at $6,000. Two other per
mits were taken out for small improve
ments, aggregating 52,050.

A number of Pittsburgers, who have se
cured control of the new town of Sylacau
ga, Ala., near Birmingham, held
a meeting in the East End Thursday
night, .Major Vogelson -presiding, to
carry out the policy previously mapped
out for the development of the town. The
company has erected in Sylacauea a fine
hotel, a bunk and several stores and dwell
ings. Other buildings are under contract.
At a recent sale of lots 565,000 was realized.
Pittsburg capital has been attracted to this
locality by the large deposits of iron ore,
marble, granite, mica, etc., specimens of
which were shown at the meeting.

AWAITING DEVELOPMENTS.

STILL HOLDING OFF.
Though Dullness Still Prevails There Is No

The Bomb's Effect.
New Yobk, Dee. 4. The stock market lost
littlo or none of its listlessness to-day, while
in the great majority of stocks only slight
changes were recorded. In a few stocks,
however, the bears were still aggressive,
but the demonstration against these shares
was believed to be for the most part to cover
the buying of other stocks for the short ac
count. The Gould stocks, and especially Missouri
Pacific, were chosen to bear the brant of the
attack during the forenoon, and it fell away
1 per cent, while" the other Gould stocks,
including Union Pacific, yielded fractions
only, and the general list scarcely felt the
torce of the . demonstration. Xorthern
Pacific preferred, however, showed consid
erable heaviness, accompanied by a mod
erate degree of activity.
The general market showed no disposition
to yield further, and before the close of tho
first hour of business there was a full and
complete rally in everything but Missouri
Pacific, while many or the leading shares,
among which were the Grangers under thfc
new buying for Western account, were con
spicuous for tho advance established. "The
market, however, still continues under tho
Influence orpossible adverse developments
on the other side of the water, and the lead
ing operatora are indisposed to mako any
new ventures nntil things are more to their
liking, both at home and abroad.
There has been of late grown up
a disposition among the local traders to give
full weight to the very flattering and en
couraging condition in affairs in the railroad
world at home, and dullness no longer of a
neccessity brings a decline. To-day the dull
ness was marked by a slow but steady up
ward movement, and only when artificial
pressure was applied was there any weak
ness in the list. The attempt to kill Mr,
Sage intensified the dullness during the
afternoon, and it was not until the Inst hour
that the bears again became aggressive,
and this time they coupled Lackawanna with
Missouri Pacific and forced them otf to the
lowest prices seen for the day.
The othersas usually yielded only slightly,
but the pres-ur,e was not relieved, and tho
final dealings weie given a heavy tone,
though evidences of covering were not
wanting in the last few minutes of business.
The close was heavy and quiet as or near
the lowest prices of the day formoststocks.
The total sales of stocks to-day were 170,741
shares, including: Atchison, 181,165; Chicago.
Gas, 7,770; Delaware. Lackawanna and West-"

EAST SAILING.
Financial Affairs Kunning Smoothly Tho
American Farmer In Clover. -The
local money market was quiet and
easy yesterday, There was no pressure for
loans and no change in the rate. Tho banks
are in a position to broaden their discount
business, and would be glad for tho oppor
tunity, but indications aro that manufactur
ers will make no special etTorts to strengthen
their position until after the holidays. In
tho meantime tho holiday trade will be tho
main reliance. Bnk clearings were $2,413,
727 61, and balances $309,154 55.
In a business forecast the Journalof Finance
remarks: "The $450,000,000 that ttfe farmer
received last year and spent for his necessi
ties he will also spend this year for the same
purpose, but the surplus of $550,000,000 which
ne did not have last year but has this ho will
also spend forsuoh comforts or luxuries as
he may think he needs or wants. This
money will co into all channels of trade,
into the pockets ot the great public, who in
timo spend it in true American style by add
ing to the comforts of home and buying
those articles that they think they want."
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy, ranging from 3 to 6 per cent: last loan,
3; closed offered at 3 per cent. Prime mer
cantile paper, 56 per cent. Steiling ex
change dull and steady at $4 81 for GOday

Country Produce (Jobbing Prices)
The advance of 1 cent per pound in cream
ery butter the early part of? the week proved
inopportune so far as Pittsburg markets are
concerned since our jobbers find it impossi
ble to raise prices above last week's rates.
Demand decreases as prices rise. Country
butter is a drug, and common grades have
only a nominal value. Cheese is relatively
lower here than at sources of supply. Stock
could not now be laid in and sold without
loss. Eggs are on the advance in the East,
and all signs point to higher prices here at
an early day. Strictly fresh eggs have al
most ceased to be a quotable quantity in
this market. The few that come are quickly
taken at outside prices. Florida oranges
are still in supplv beyond demand, and
markets are duli and slow. Malaga
grapes are now for the most part in the
hands of jobbers, and choice stock is very
firm.

Groceries
Sugars are a shade firmer, and coffees are
steady, but prices are so far unchanged.
However, prospects are good for an advance
in sugar. Teas show an upward tendency.
China teas are scarcely up to average in
quality, and Japan teas are a suado better
than average. India .and Cevlon teas are
coming in more freely this season than ever
before. The increase of volnme in this lino
of teas is fully 20 per cent over last year.
English capitalists have undertaken to de
velop Coylon tea in the past few years, and
somo samples picked from the blossoms were
sold In London recently at $75 per pound.
Some of the same kind was on tap at the
U. P. fair In Old City Hall last evening which
cost $5 per ounce.

BEARS LAUGH LAST.
Bat the Bulls Have Everything Their Own
VTay Early in thn Bay in Wheat, Corn
and Provisions Oats Alone Maintains
Its Strengtli.
CHICAGO At the start this morning the
sentiment in the wheat pits was decidedly
bullish. Prices" were not advanced much,
but confidence was expressed. The buying
was more generous and short sellers more
cautions. Part of this strength was carried
over from yesterday, when the market
closed firm. The feeling was aided by
stronger cables, Liverpool ueing quoted JJd
higherand Berlin better in the public cable,
though private advices wore less encourag
ing. The smaller receipts in the Northwest,
the fear of the weather following tho recent
rains and the general firmness in domestic
markets, were also strengthening factors.
For a time there was a general disposition
to cover short wheat, with selling both re
stricted and cautious. Afterward the mar
ket turned weak. Private cable advices
being weak, the downward movement con
tinued. An attempt, was made to start a
panic when the news of the bomb-throwing
in Uussell's Sago's office in Now York be
came known, hut it did not succeed. In the
last hour there was an advance, but the
market grew weak again near the end of the
session and closed weak at the bottom
figure.
JIuy, which is 'tho most nctivo future,
opened at 97Kc, sold up to 9fic. receded
gradually to Jiv, firmed upto9iKc, broke
to 97Jc, nillied to 97KC. went off to and
closed nt 97c, a loss ofc compared with
e3terdays closing prices.
December corn opened decidedly strong
and higher, hut the advance was all lost,
with something besides, before tho close.
There were several reasons for tho early
strength. The price at Liverpool was
1 penny higher; the inspection into store
showed only 35 cars of contract gradeoutof a
total of 467; stocks of contract corn arc very
light, and tho big engagements made during
the last few days indicate that it is going
out faster than it comes in. The early firm
ness In wheat and pork was also a strength
ening factor in corn. But tho advance led
to pretty free selling. December opened at
4s;c, against 477c at the close yesterday:
sold up to 48-JJc, broke to. 47Jfc, fluctuated
narrowly lor a time, broke again near the
close to 47JsC", and closed at thnt figure. The
fluctuations in the more distant futures
were less marked. May sold early at 43Jc
and closed at 42c, which were the extreme
prices in that month. Oats were quiet and
firm and closed slightly higher.
The removal of the prohibition on Ameri
can pork by the Austrian Government had
no effect on the prices of hog products, as it
was argued that many months would elapse
before it would result in any trade with that
country. Tho official count of the hogs re
ceived yesterday showed a decided reduc
tion, as did yesterday's estimates of to-day's
receipts in" the aggregate, about 25,000. This
caused higher prices for products at the
opening. The advance in toe price of corn
was also a bull factor. The early advance
was taken advantage of bv some tired longs
to unload, and their offerings broke the
market. Later, on estimated small receipts
for to-morrow, there was a reaction, and the
close was near the top and at a fair advance
over yesterday's last prices.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor
