IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Some Sales Keported at the Advance

BESSEMER IS IN GOOD DEMAND.
A Good Opening iiere for the First Week of
the Xew Year.
and so far in January has sold at about the
same ratio. At the close of the week tbes
had withdrawn from the market unless at
advanced nrices.
There is a-KOod deal to stimulate hopes in
better prices as the year advanres. At the
same time, there is considerable iron ac
cnmulatinirnt the furnaces. Production is
larzp. and until the snrnlus is worued ott
I thert! is not likely "to he any important
.uan;rc'in the market, xue uaiance ut
tween production and consumption is run
ning rcrv even, and at the first sign of an
excess of consumption there -would he a
shnro recovery and a strong tendency
toward higher prices.
REPORTS FROJt SHE CHIEF MARKETS
Orncc or The DrsrATcn, ?
rnrsm.'r.G, 1'eiday, January 8- 5
1!aw Ikon and Steel Trade during the
first week of the new year shows r.p as well
as could he expected when it is considered
that latt week's sales of raw iron exceeded
72.000 tons and that makers and sellers are
making no particular effort to book new
business at present prices. In fact, they
want more money for the raw article, and,
unless all siijns fail they won't have to wait
long. The principal sales reported of Bes
semer and grey forge were for delivery
January, February and March, spot iron
being scarce. It was currently reported that
leading furnaces were asking f 1G for Besse
mer and SIS 7r14 for Xo. 1 grey forge,
riltsburg furnaces are well sold up, having
made liberal sales at the late advance, as
one of the owners remarked: "Of course
we are willing to sell, but not at present
prices. The sales hereafter will be at an
advance and for future delivery," which
means that they are well sold up.
A Glance at the Fast.
The year just closed will long be remem
bered 'as one of considerable dullness and
.low prices for irou and steel generally.
January, one year ago, production of pig
iron was at the rate of 167,000 tons per
week. Within one month this rate dimin
ished about 21.000 tons, and bv April the
output had fallen off to about 114,000 tons
jver week. Commencing with May, the pro
duction of pig iron increased by rapid
strides until it is now tnllv 188,000 tons per
week, or 9,783,000 tons per year, equivalent
to 10,900,'.)00 net tons per year. Since the
1st of July there has been a considerable
increase in'thc demand for finished iron and
f-teel, but not sufficient to cover the increase
in the production of pig iron, so the
figures of stock on hand will probably show
that thcr has been a considerable accumu
lation of unsold iron during the period
rained. Notwithstanding the enormous
tntiJic on the railroads during the year just
closed, the sales of track material and rail
road s"):i-''os have been unusually light.
'This r. tri-uclimcnt means accumulated work
to bv take: care of as soon as improved con
ditions shall permit, and tiie return of
confidence, aiiii tiie restoration of credit.
The abundance of money promises that a
large portion of this accumulation will be
disposed of this year in addition to the
usual run oi business.
A Good Opening fur This Tear.
The year opens with an active demand
from railroads for rails and other material.
The prospects are about all that could be
desired all along the line, and the work
postponed from last year must be taken care
of thi year in addition to regular current
requirements. A well infprmed Eastern
dealer has this to say: "Consumers are
pretty well convinced that present prices
ire safe prices, and that theT are willing to
purchase liberally when they can do so
without paying an advance. Sellers have
met the demand liberally, and it is only in
unfinished steel that there is any clearly
defined improvement. The general market
is firmer, however, and the impression pre
vails that the tendency all through the list
will be toward higher prices."
The Latest. The outlook continues
favorable for most descriptions. Bessemer
pig was much lancied; sales large; the tli
rale was reacted yesterdaj, but the largest
portion of the sales being at 315 7515 85.
AVe made the remark in our last that SIC
would he reached this month, and. the ad
vance is her. Gray forge is firm, with a
good demand: the advance previously noted
has beer, maintained. Steel slabs and bil
lets. Prices well maintained: sales show up
well. Muck bar seems to be1 neglected;
there was nodecline in values;sales limited.
Foundry irons are without change.

A GOOD DEMAND AT CHICAGO.
The Tear Opening In the Windy City With
Excellent Prospect'.
Chicago, Jan. s.-r.fyrrfot. The year opens
with a good demand for iron or all kinds,
especially coke brands. Some small lots of
charcoal metal have been contracted for
during the nast week, but the aggregate is
not largo. Consumption is going forward
heavily, and forms one of the most hopeful
symptoms, as indicating the real general
condition. The car works and car wheel
makers are all busy; the agricultural imple
ment makers, stove manufacturers, machin
ists andjobbers report, with here and there
a few exceptions, thatthevare runninsrvery
full. Notwithstanding this condition.prices
remain on the basis last reported: as yet
there is no improvement, nor are there signs
indicating that any change is likely to come
at present
There is a large amount of coke iron, both
Northern and Southern, being otTered in the
market, and competition forbnsiness isvery
brisk. Where larse buyers are prepared to
consider tho matter of purchase there are a
number of furnaces ready to shade even
bottom market prices. This condition can
hardly last; with the large consumption and
certaintjt of general prosperity during the
cominsr year, a stiffening in values must
come before long. On Luke Superior char
coal iron several furnaces which have been
shading $17 00 now claim that they have
withdrawn from the market, and have no
metal for sale w hile $17 00 continues to be
market. Two or three of the most prom
inent brands are holding firmly at $17 50, and
retuse to consider sales for anything less.

FINE CONCEPTION IN MASONRY.

rENN COTTON MILL 'MACHINERY SOLD
IDLE TIME WELL SPENT.
Southern Producers Put It in Studying
tho Question of Economy.
Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 8. Special.
While there is no rise in the price of iron
in the Birmingham district, iron piasters
are starting the new year with the most
hopetul and confident feeling, and with no
disposition to force sales. In casting up the
work of the year, they agree that they have
safely weathered tho finaneiil storm. The
year 1S91 came in with a strike which closed
nearly all the lurnaces, and many of them
did not resume until late in February. The
idle time was spent in studying economy,
and since resumption every furnace has
made some money.
The east during" the past year was below
that of any previous time, and the produc
tion large. A failure of the tide to turn
toward higher prices would caue great dis
appointment, but would not interfere with
the general operations: Tho prices given
ont are: No. 1 lonndrv, $12 23; No. 2 foundry.
$11 75; No. 3 foundry, $10 75; Jjray forge, $10 00
Decided Improvement at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Jan. a Imperial. Rogers,
Brown & Co. say: Thcie is a decided im
provement in the demand for both iron and
steel, and prices are tending slightly up
ward. Tho new year has hardly advanced
far enough to enable anyone to make a vcrv
accurate statement as lb what the future fs
to bring forth, but taken as a whole, the
general outlook is good, and it. is to be ex
pected that the vol utiicot business for this
year will greatly exceed that of last, and at
prices that will net slightly higher margins.
St. Louis Tig Iron Market Improving.
St. Louis. Jan. 8. Special. Eogers, Brown
& Mcacbam report: The iron market re
mains about the same as last week. There
have been several round-sized orders placed
for deliveries during the next six months at
prices a shade below our quotations. In
dications all point for active business dur
ing 1892, and we hope for better prices.

Mr. George H. Bennett has had plans
made for a seven-story stone and brick
business house on the lot next to the north
west corner of Smithfield street and First
avenna. The building will have a frontage
of 30 feet on the avenue and 18 on the street,
and will cover the entire lot. A survey of
the plan shows that it will rank with the
finest architectural conceptions in the city,
both in appearance and convenience. This
improvement emphasizes the fact that
Smithfield street has become a prime, favor
ite with capitalists. Mr. Bennett pur
chased the lot last spring for ?40,000. The
work of tearing down existing structures
will begin April 1. Tenants have been
notified to vacate by that time.
Perrysville Avenue Improvement.
There was no quorum present at the meet
ing of the Survey Committee of Allechenv
Councils called to consider the question of
gradp on Perrysville avenue, and another
meeting will be held in a short time, as citi
zens are very anxious to have the matter
settled so that the work of improving the
avenue can be begun. The outlook for
building on this great Northsidc artery is
full of promise. Major Pentecost estimates
thatat least 50 dwellings will gd up the
coming season north of Charles street,while
as many more can be depended upon south
of that point. The Presbyterian mission
Sunday school building, near the Gusky
Home, has been completed. The Chief of
the Public Safety Department of Allegheny
has applied to Councils for permission to
erect an engine house at the junction of the
roads, near the terminus of the Pleasant
Valley line.
In Good Shape Again.
The annual meeting of the Butler Chemi
cal Company was held at Butler yesterday,
at which officers and directors were chosen
or -the ensuing year. The officers are:
President, .T. H. Troutman; Vice President,
James W. Drape: Treasurer, H. C. Weine
man; Secretary, "YV. J. Cassidy; Solicitor,
Hewton Black. Keports showed the com
pany to be in a good financial condition and
indicated a prosperous bus-mess tor the en
suing year. Orders coming in denote, a
growing demand for the products of the
concern.
An Important Deal Closed.
It was mentioaed in this column a few
days ago that the machinery and fixtures of
the Pcnn cotton mill, on Eiver avenue,
Allegheny, were about to pass into the pos
session of Pittsburg and Southern capital
ists for removal to the new town of Syla
caug3, Ala. The transaction was closed
yesterday bv James "W. Drape & Co. The
original cost of the plant was 5125,000. It
is understood the price paid for it was
something less than half that amount.
Among the purchasers are Major Vogelson
and AV. "V. Acheson, of Pittsburg, and
Colonels McCaa and Keith, of Ailniston,
Ala. The removal of the plant will take
place as soon as the building to receive it is
completed. This will be a valuable acquisi
tion to Sylacauyn,
Business News nnd Gossip.
As showing that there is a good movement
in down-town property. Black & Baird re
port sales in the last two davs aggregating
$250,000.
The annual meeting of stockholders of the

HOME SECURITIES.
MOKE GAINS THAN tOSSES SCORED
IN" YESTERDAY'S STOCKS.
Bears Slake Occasional Kaidi A Big Bus
El lness in Chicago Gas Goulds and Din
tillers Weak l'olnls New Kngland
Keeps Up Its Pace.
New York, Jan. A Tho stock-market to
day was very active and feveiish through
out; but while the amount of business done
falls short of that of yesterday, there was
ho less interest in the transactions. The Ir
regularity in the movement'eontinued to be
a featureor the trading until tho close.
AVhiloNew England, Rock Island, Manhat
tan, Louisville, New Albany and Chicago
and Northern raciflc preferred, with some
of the low-priced specialties, were specially
strong, Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific, Dis
tillers' and Atchison were weak points. Tho
general list was, as rule, quiet. The ex
cessive trading in the few more prominent
stocks brought the day's business up to its
hish figure.
The bears were again active and arg.-es-sive
and made drives at several stocks :ft
different times, and these efforts yesterday
and to-day have, it is believed, closed out
the stop orders which have been a menace
to the speculation. The transactions in
Chicago Gas wereNtill enormous this morn
ing, probably 30,000 shares changing hands
in the first 15 minutes' trading. It opened
at different prices from 73 to 74, while it only
went per cent below the former price
during the day. TJie strength displayed by
the stock quickly restored confidence, and
it advanced to 75J, tho general market gath
ering strength in tho meantime. Tho
feverish iioss, however, never departed from
the stock, and the drop of 3 per cent in llis
tilleis", which was engineered for further
effect UDon tho r-eneral market, seemed to
have no further influence than this. This
decline was as quickly recovered as the
other, and New Euluiid immediately came
to the front, continuing its remarkable
upward movement, helped by further
rumors favorable to tho company.
Special pressure was brought to bear upon
the Gould shares, and Union Pacific dis
played real weakness; but tho sharp upward
movement given Manhattan late in the day
served to disseminate the idea that tho in
siders were not in tho efforts to depress
those shares. The late dealings were also
marked by sharp advance in the Coalers,
supposed to be another move against the
shorts.
The most remarkable movement of the
day was in the securities or the New York
nnd Northern Company, the stock advanc
ing on large transactions from 1926, the
bonds following closely. Most ot this was
retained at tho close. The list is generally
small fractions higher, but advances are
more numerous than losses. There was a
final effort to knock prices off in tho last
hour, but it was met by tho advances in
Manhattan and the Coalers, and the market
closed active and firm. Distillers' islMper
cent lower this evening, but New England
is up 2V and Rock Island, Northern Pacific
preferred and Richmond and West Point
aro each 1 per cent higher, while Richmond
and West Point preferred and Susquehanna'
and Western' preferred are up larger
amounts.

It Is hard to keep this stock on its back.
It opened with sales at 12, sold up to 13J.J,

worthy ot note. Poultry, which abounded
in holiday times, is now scarce and prices
have advanced, as quotations will disclose.
Game of all kinds is nlso higher. Fancy
creamery butter has also moved to a higher
level. Eggs alone, in country produce lines
have declined In price. It rarely occurs that
fresh eggs aro so low in price in mid-winter

Country Produce Jobbing prices
There has been a scarcity of choice poultry
and game since the holiday season passed,
and markets arc firm at a shade better prices
than have been obtained since the beginning
of winter. Dressed chickens are particu
larly scarce. Choice grades of creamery
butter readily command outside prices, but
anything below fancy drags. As for coun
try butter there, is little demand, quality of
offering being for the most part below stand
ard. Cheese is firm at quotations. The egg
market is reported quiet at the decline al
ready noted. It is rare that fresh eggs are
so low at this season of the year. Job lots
are not active at 21c per dozen. Florida
oranges are firm at the advance, and bananas
are qniet. Vegetables aro still dull and slow
at old prices.

A BETTER ASPECT ON 'CHANGE.
Provisions Show the Heaviest Gains, but
All the 'Cereals Kecover From Thms-'
day's Depres inn A "Weak Openinjr lor
"Wheat Corn Active and Strong"
CHICAGO Wheat made a weak start
The sharp break of yesterday had exhausted
the margins on many deals and brought the
property on the market. Lones were pretty
generally discouraged and sacrificed their
holdings, while there was stunt good ueai 01
bold and vigorous short selling. Lower
cables helped to develop early weakness.
Tho price went off over lc from yesterday's
close.
On this break the selling suddenly came
to a halt. Then the cold wave began to
canse some uneasiness for winter wheat.
Scalpers bought for an upturn. Prices grad
ually improved and the loss was regained.
The market continued strong to the close.
May opened ragged, with sales in different
parts of the pit at about the same time at all
the way between 92c nnd 92c, aeainst
93Jc at the close vesterdav. The market
shortly touched 93c, then broke oadly,
going to 92Jc, rallied and with minor re
actions advanced to 93Kc, closing firm at
9314c.
Corn was fairly active and stronger. Early
in the session it sold off a trifle on the sharp
break in wheat, nut soon turned and sold up
JjO ortnore, helped by the reaction in wheat
and the boom in provisions. Tho market
held its own throughout the day, and closed
about the top. Mav opened a off at 41c,
slowly advanced to 41c, and closed at 41Jc.
Oats quiet and firm, and show an advance
of -KKc.
Hog products scored a decided advance to
day. The continued free shipment? East of
live hogs, with the stiffness in prices at tho
3'ards, have begun to make packers uncasy
