Hxw Iron asd Steel Business dur ing the -week was not as active as the pre cedir. one. Consumers arc evidently pretty nell ranplied with material, ns caii be easily ccrtamc-d by reference lo the lare sales nr-ted rince January 1. There is evidently a diScrence of opiniou among dealers as to whether the market is better or worse. While it is cer'ainly no better it would at the saaie time be unfair to soy it is worse, i.;liou3h some people are so disappointed thai thev are almost ready to-declare that matters are u. orse than they were last week. iore pit; iron has been iE3de durin; the psst three months than ever before in the fame time, yt, all things considered, a fair run mm; of sales are reported, principally for later deliveries. There were seven more iurn2ccs at work on the 1st of January than Peeember 1, bat the weclly output remains :ibout the same lSS.ri.S2 prosi tons. There 5s not eueuh uaoid iron on hand, how ever, to cause any disturbance of the market, and it wonld take only a .ma!l increase in the dtniand to wipe out all the surplus. JJfadir- Toward Better Irices. A well-informed Eastern dealer has this tossy: "Trices remain about the ame, but there is a stron;: feeling and the market appears to be heading toward better figures than have bV-n realized for sometime, t-'! tliru iron is moving actively in the Wi4m jnaiketi and a good deal of it is finding its way along the Eastern seaboard in competition with Northern iron. Cur rent bninew is largely in small quantities for early deliverv, bat there jsmore inquiry for pr.ces for delivery three or four month'.

"While eciiFnmers have a fair stock pur c'livod, at the rrese.it rate of consumption the time is not far off when their supplies wi!l need replenishing.

Steel slabs and bil lets arc in moderate demand: the rate, E25 per ton, ureviously agreed on at maker's mill, has been maintained. Itessemer pig not so firm, last week's prices being shaded in some instances. Gray forge weaker; we learn of sales T10s below last week; on the other hand, certain dealers refuse to make any concessions in crdr to effect sales. Steel wire rods have declined 50 75c per ton. Scrap material dull and lower. Tin? Close VfeaV and Tonpr. Tim Latest The market closed weak with sales of certain grades a trifle lower. Consumers have evidently a sufficient stock on hand and under contract to last for a short time, and under the circumstances are disposed to wait, especiing prices to de cline, un tne other liana, owners ol lavorite brands refuse to accept lower pric.es, and are, so to speak, out of the niarkpt.

Jhe Outlook There in Many Kespects De- cided.y l-.nconraginrr. - 'Chicago, Jan. 22.-5peciat.-nogerg, Brown '& Mcrwin, says: As the month progreses business is keeping up at about tho usual volume for this period of the year. There has been considerable activity in coke irons, especially among Xorthcrn brands. Com petition among makers of this class of metal is very strong. Each contract of size is being vigorously contested, and in many cases concessions have been made for de-Eir-ible business. On Southern cokes a num ber of consumers are in the market inquir ing lor deliveries during the entire year of ISt!. Difficulty is being encountered in finding furnates willing to make current figures to run over so louga period, sales of Sonthern coke are for tho mot part being restricted to July and Augustas limit. The desiro to contract for melal cf this class so far ahead proves that iiuinv buyers are satisfied that prices Kavo reached their lowest stage and that .

XakcSu- perior charcoal irons.aro for the most part Inactive; a growing disposition Is noticed on the part of manufacturers of this class of iron to hold for short deliveries unless bet ter Jlccres can be obtained, a certainty that flirices on ore will be higher the coming sea son than last, in addition to other condi tions, making this course necessary. HESITATION AT CINCINNATI. Some Interest iu the Kecent Purchases of Lakt Ore by Carnesle. Cisciskati, Jan. 22. Special Kogers, Brown & Co. say: There is not a new feature to report in the pig iron market. Some in terest is sho,vrn in the heavy purchases of Lake Superior ores just closed by Carnegie, the Illinois Steel Company and other largo steelmakers. If the lactsare correctly re ported it mean'! an enhancement of cost of Bessemer pig next season about 7j cents per ton. Ore men are holding Arm to an equiva lent advance on ores for foundry and forgo irons. The problem presented, therefore, to the furnaccmen is about this: If pig iron can he sold at just about the cot of produc tion on the present market, how much can be made on it wl-en its cost is increased .3 cents per ton bv the advance in ores There is no doubt whatever that lake tr.tcs will be miteiiallv liizher thoeaily p.ut of the season than for tho corre sponding time lastvear. The only possible wav, thereto: e, lor cost ol" materials to re main as thev are is for the ore men toma iprfailv rc-iuce their Iat vest's prices. It is know." that list year's pricrs barely paid the leadtnp companies for tli cost of raising ami. handling ttio ore. and the same com panies are d'termiued this year to ieave their ore in thesronrd if they cannot get a slight marcin of profit. While these conditions, which seem im perative, confront tho trade, there Is never theless no movoment anywhere that indi cates a belief in higher piles inter on. Transactions -closed during the last week have been deliveries running six or eight months ahead, and at current prices. Tho inquiry has been lighter than a week ago. and the whole temper or trade is slimmed up in the word "hesitation." All the past history of the trade has shown that when prices are at or below cost neaily all parties view the future with apathy and will take no chance. When prices are up several dollars per ton the avers arc bcyeris disposed to unv ueyonu ins wants na contrni-i lav ahead. The conditions ne very puzzling. ahead. The conditions ne very puzzlin; and surprises mav be in .tore 'or thoe who believe that pig iron will always be sold at co.cor unoer. G2NEEAL OUTLOOK IHPEOVED. A Greater Interest Manifested on tlip Fart of S'nrchasars. Xew York, .Ian. 22. S-veia' ' The Iron Age reports .the iron and steel markets as follows: Sellers of American pig report a somewhat J.nnrov-'d inquiry and resard the situation as somen !:atbEtier than it has Veen. Among I ot:-rs, tho Thomas Iron Company notes a ' greater interest on the par: of its regular , customers. The report that an advance of i $1 00 per ton had been decided upon is un- ;r:e. un tnecmitrary, irnny cnangeintne price should be untie, present in dications polntratherin thoiherdirection. Agents of maniifactuict iron and steel prodncts rxplain that specifications are comiiiK "orwind vt'rv siowlv. it is certain, however, that n good Je .1 of n ork is coming our ax an early date. The American beam makers, aftor'carefnl consideration of the situation, have decided that It will be better lor all coucernvd toke-"p tip the combina tion. A strong fceliiij: lias developed in favor of mnking loworp-ices rather than have un restricted competition. It is reported that the Pacific M.iil Companv has placed one steamer, and that the 1.2C0 tons of plates nnd.shapes for it have iweii taken bv a I'ltt j lutrg mill. It is stated that two more will he closed within a week. Steel rails Eastern mills report veryllttle new business, and no sales ofmnniiude nro reported. The Western mills arc reported to be booking heavily, and the outlook is so encouraging that Eatern mills believe it possible that thev will bo able to cll in western territory this year. The official re port of the Board of Control shows that shipments of standard rails, 50 pounds and over, were 1.053 092 gross tons, so tfiat with light rails the production was probably close up to 1:215.000 trvns. This is the lowest since IS1. Kail makers argne that a good deal of renewal woik has been held back and must come up this year. NO BEIGHTEE AT BIEMINGHAM. The Farnaces Down Jo a Steady Pull Against the Tide". Birmisgham, Ala., Jan 22 Special Nothing has as yet occurred lo brighten the situation for the iron makers. Complaints oflow prices have Ions siuce ceased and tho furnaces hsve settled down to a steady pull against the tido. The depression in iron seemingly affects the general business sit uation more unfavorably than tho lnrnacrs themselves. Sales arc unofficially reoort-tl ns low as $3 53 for stray Jorge and' belov $!2 for Xo. 1 foundry, on a cash basis. Ooersiore continue to push their product "on the market. The continued efforts of tho l'enusylvauia iurnace owm-ts, through lower railroad rates aid other moans, to 'snen the cost of production there, is taken here as an admonition agitnst too prreat coi: lidenco in an early lise it, th market. The maiket f. o.b. at the furnace is quoted Xo. 1 loundry tit, Xo. 2 lonrdrv $11 25, Xo. 3 foutidrj 410 5'J, grey tirge $9 50. Tne recent shipment ol iron by way of Mobile and the ocean to Xew York has not as yet been lollowed by ny regular business over thut route. The difference in the rate to eastern cities by the water ronte as com pared wi'h the railroads, is placed at about $1 per ton. The result or the experiment has not been announced. t Xot Much Dolnc t St. J-ouls. St. Louis, Jan. 22. Special. Kogers, Brown & Meacham say: The iron market here does not present any u;inual features this week. There has been a fair number of orders placed and inquiry or prices con tinue to come in. The outlook fora large business this year is very good. We hear of sales ot Southern Xo. 2 soft on basis of $10 Birmingham, and some parties claim to have bought for Ies.

The Mai-shcll-Kcnnedy flouring mill' property will be offered for sale'at auction by J. 1J. I.arkin & Co. February 17, due notice of which will be given by advertise ment in The Dispatch. This property has an interesting history. It has always been used for its prctcnt purpose. Old PittsburccTS will remember it as the "Wil marta & Noble Homing mill. That was 40 or 50 years ago. Then Liggett & Lindsay took charge and chanced the name to that of the City Flouring Mill. In the early part of 1870 it passed into the hands of Marshall, Kennedy & fo., by whom it was operated until their removal to their new plant i:i Allegheny a short time ago. It js not nly a laaiiniark in Pittsburg, hut is known to almost every farmer in Western Pennsylvania. Leases and Bents. Many new leases are being made to go into eflect next April, the annual moving day in this city. In most cases where business property is involved, they are in advance of the old or present rates. This results from the scarcity of stores and ware houses. A gentleman recently burned out, said yesterday he had so far been unable to secure another stand. The renting season for dwellings will soon open. Indeed, there is already considerable hustling in this direction. Small and medium-sized houses are scire?, both in the citv and suburbs. Ueports from "nearly all the surrounding towns are of the same tenor. Therevappears to be no unusual pressure for large, high priced dwellings. Brokers are still of the opinion that rents will not be materially increased this year.

A STE0NG POSITION. Xothing Short of TVar or Panic Can Cripple Trade. The business of the Clearing House con tinues to show improvement over the same time last year. It follows from this that trade is more active. There are no weak features in the financial situation, and all the gains of the year have been maintained. With plenty of money to encourage legiti mate enterprise the coming spring should, and no doubt will, introduce a prolonged period of great activity.

Duqucsno and Birmingham Tractions were, as for some time, the bright particular features. That they are earning money is generally believed. This important fact has interested the public, and a good share of the buying orders is believed to come from that source. The advance has been pretty rapid for this locality, but as there aie no signs of weakness, it is quite safe to say that tho climax has not been reached. But this remains to be seen.' Sales were 1,245 shares, as follows: First call, 100 Philadelphia Gas at 15, 30 Citizens' Traction at 6i, 120 Duquesno at 29f, $2,000 Duqucsne bonds at 9JJJ, 10 Manchester at 3fli, 1C0 Birmingham at 19K, 40 nt 19. 1C0 Electric at 13.

Rumors of an Alllancn Between Reading anil Jersty Central Bujing That Seems to Indicate aDeal In Sugar Beflnerles Bailroad Bonds Active. New York, Jan. 22. Tho market to-day showed much more steadiness and a decided increase in strength, though the operations of note were still confined to a few stocks, while the general list followed without mak ing any material otinngo in quotations. The shorts were frightened, especially in the Coalers, tho Grangers and the Vancler bilts. and there was, in addition, good buy ing in Misoarl Pacific, Louisville and Nash ville, Burlington and Wheeling and Lake Erie. Tfie strength of Lackawanna is be lieved to arise from a squeeze of the "shqrfs, though there were rumors all day of an al liance with the Reading and Jersey Central by which competition In the trado would he narrowed, and possibly other advantages realized. These lacked confirmation, how ever, and the movement against the shtrt3 receives all the credit for the sharp upward turn in the Coalers. More strength was seen in the Industrials, and all mado substantial improvement. The general opinion on the stieet seems to be that some sort of a deal is on with the out side refiners, which accounts for the strength in Sugar on so light a business. ThO'West took the Grangers fully, and tho buying in the low-priced TandcTbilts was noticeable, Omahn being the pat ticular feature on the final dealings. Among tho low-priced shares, however, wero the Lake Erie and Western stocks, which made further sub stantial progress toward higher figures on comparatively larger transactions. The market opened active and at regular changes, but tho animation was all in tho Coalers, and in the first half hour tho deal ings in Bending and Lnckawana amounted to very large figures. Lackawanna was tho special featnre and opened -uuoh.ingednt 142J4, then was miockcu aown iv a deter mined driva by the bears to liL The rally was cqu.illy rapid, however, and it reached 143J4, which proved to be its bet for the div. Epsding moved In close sympathy, bnt within nanow limits, and before the forenoon was spent they had sank back to the lest of tne list in poipt of activity. The Grangers came more to I he front as the interest, in tho Coalers subsided, and later the Vandorbilts became the leading feature. Northwestern taking the lead of the former and Omaha the latter. The marker, however, was quito irregular in its move ments throughout the day, and cloed quiet and firm afterthe rally with the Vanderbllts. Prices at the close were generally small fractions better than those last evening, bnt Omaha was up 2V Sugar. 2; Northwestern, 1. and Missouri, 1 per cent.

It Makes Harvard Stndents Listen to a Leo ture That Is Obnoxlons. Cambridge, Jan. 22. Special.' The Harvard CrirMon to-day published an ac count of a futile effort to suppress the third Dudley lectute, which, according to the will, must have to do with "exposing the idolatry of the Komish Church, its tyranny, usurpation damnable baseness, fatal errors, abominable superstitions and other cry ing wickednesses in their high places." Last May G8 members of the Harvard faculty sent a letter to the President asking to have the lecture omitted. The .matter was carefully considered, and two months ago it was decided to continue the lectures. This decision was based on the belief that 'the suppression of one of the four lectures provided lor under the bequest of Chief Justice" Dudley would be a breach of trust, which might amount to a termination of the whole trust. In the letter to the peti tioners the coporntion says: The language used by the Chief Justice, who wasajustandsiilcero man, is language characteristic of the time when animosities among religious sects were bitter and In tense, and ir he were to draw this clause to day it would be couched in different words and would breathe a very different spirit. No Iectuier could now with propriety use such language, adopt such views, or be in spired In' such a spirit a is disclosed by the expressions of the Chief Justice in drawing the third clause of his will. At the present time this subject should, and doubtless will be, treated historically. THE' HOME MARKETS. Select Grades of New York Cheese Firm at an Advance. ALL CHOICE DAIRY GOODS FIRM.

Monied Men ITho Believe Wheat Is Cheap Now, and .Ire Not Scared Into Selling Again Wheat and Oats Weak and Lower Provisions Higher. CHICAGO Wheat displayed nnoxpected strength during tho early part of the session and sold np a cent from yesterday's close. Cables wero lower at the start, and there was nothing especially favorable to holders except possibly the light receipts; but the speculative sentiment was much stronger and confidence moro general. For some days there has been strong buy ing by a class of monicd men who have here tofore held aloof. They seem to have come to the conclusion that wheat is cheap, and seem to havo acted on that belief on all weak spots. They havo been picking up wheat, and. as they were not workimr for a scalp they have not sold on the advance, nor havo they been disconraged or sold out on temporary declines. This has proved one of the strong features of the market, as it baa been protected from the selling which usu ally results from sharp turns cither way when discouraged holders liquidate or un fortunate bull scalpers undertake to realize profits. Late cables weremore lavorablc, but local market did not respond to this feeling. Iu fact, dnring the last hour all the early evidences of strength disappeared and weak ness ruled. A good many who had been courageous buyers early lo"st their nerve and besqn to let go. May opened 92fc, against 91Jc at the close yesterday, advanced to P3c, reached to 92c, the active buyers stepping aside and allow ing prices to go off under offerings by New York and St. Louis and by local scalpers. A reaction to 92Je followed, then a recession to 91c, and the close was easy at that price. Corn was quiet, lower and weak Cables were easier and the export demand, which has been poor for some time, showed no im provement, and holders began to lose confi dence. May opened 4c, or a. shade under yesterday's" final figures, touched HJic, and then, without material reaction, sagzed slowly off to 40c, closing firm, however, at 0c. Oats qniet and weakrand closed with a loss of He compared with yesterday. Hog products higher. There were occa sional slight down-turns in the market, but the general course was upward, though a little break near the close left prices somewhat under the best of the day.

The movement Is firm and prices are unchanged. Florists report an improvement over last week, as regards domand. but prices are a shado lower now 'than then. Staple meats seldom change.
