BESSEMER AXDGKAYrORGELOWER CiijFnrnsces Are Still Holding Out for frcvious Prices. IiW THE JJAKKET FEELS ELSEWHERE Office of the DisrATcn. J rrrrSBLWi, FstD&r. January 23. ,15aw Iron and SxEEi-The iron and steel trade did not show up to much advan tage during the w eek. Prices are weaker and in some instances a shade lower, while the volume of transactions show a material falling ofl. As usual, there is a material difference in the views of leading dealers. Some argue that the present dullness is only temporary; that as soon as the late heavy purchases ot raw iron have been con fumed buyers will have to replenish their supplies. This will cause sellers to demand more money for their iron. The sales of Lake Superior ore, reported for this year's delivery, means an increase of ?1 per ton in the cost o! mating Bessemer steel, but there is every prospect of a good year in the rail trade this factor ought not to have any imp-riant bearing on the course of trade. On the other hand certain consum er are ot the opinion that prices will soon exhibit a further decline. Soinr r.l'cr "Very Sansnin-. Thre rre sellers in this market whose weekly salc generally range from 10,000 to 12,000" Ions, who refuse to accept present figures ofi:red lor Bessemer and gray forge, having an abidinglaith that they won't have to wait Ions; for an improvement in values. A well informed dealer has this to say: "The immense capacity for production, in, connection with the indisposition to antici pate future wants, has kept the market so continuously full of material that prices have had no chauce to stiffen, until at last consumers have about settled down to the idea that it is not worth while to do more than cover requirements as they mature. Other reasons may also be given such as the postponement ot the demand for steel railr and architectural work. All these were confidently hgured on for distribution after the holidays but at this moment there are no signs of snvtuinsmore than the ordinary routine demand. That all the projects will mature after a while there is not the slight- est reason to doubt, .put what the trade wants to see is something to give an imme diate stimulus. ilcaty Ore Purchases at an Advance. The most significant event the past two ' weeks has been the heavy purchases of Lake Superior iron ore by the large Besse mer steel manufacturers. Jlost of the large consumers have covered their requirements for this year, aud the prices named show an advance'of about 50 cents per ton over the cot of ore last year. This is due, in part, to higher freicht charges on the lakes and partly to an advance in price by the mining companies. Old iron and steel rails arc very dull; sales show a further decline, although the stock in first hands is light. Steel billets and t.labs are quiet, with a light demand; tales show no change in values. Ferro mangancse, 80 per cent imported, declined 50 cents per ton. Muck bar dull, with more sellers than buyers; holders refuse to make concessions. Steel wire rods Prices main tained. Xew steel railst steady, with sales at mill, S30 per ton. The Latent Market closed weak, buy ers still holding back or purchasing spar ingly. Tne demand for steel billets is im proving, but prices show no change. Bes semer weaker; latest sales show a decline. Iron ore firm at the advance noted in our last; sales for this year's delivery will ag gregate ii,500,000 tons, principally Bessemer ores. The demand for finished iron is firm, but prices continue low. Skelp iron in moderate demand; prices unchanged. rOKE. svELTrP LAKE AXD NATIVE ORES. 2,010 tons grnx forrc, March.

Special There is a tendency to pile up iron in the Birmingham district. Somo furnaces are makltn; sales at figures below tho current prices, and the demand at these shadings is Improving. Local brokers report inquiries rreatly impiovcd o-er last week, and the Southern demand, especially for railroad irons, is grovi ing quite lively. The local view o. the situation is that con sumption will ery sreatly increase from this lime forward, though without any cor responding increaso in prices. The recent severe cold snap stopped ore mining and caused a number of furnaces to shutdown. These are all starting up again. Keports are current of sales being made at figures lower than this district has ever known- These are exceptional, however, with furnaces in need ol readv money. The ruling prices are, at CO days and including commissions to brokers, as follows, r. o. b at furnaces: Xo. 1 foundry, $12 00: .No. 2 loundry, $11 00; So. 3 foundry, $10 50: gray forge,$J00. w3f10 CnanCe at Chicago.

Several large deals in Southern iron were made during the past week and others are rtill pending. A liberal run of small orders t is being" booked for both Northern and 1 Southern coke. Now that most concerns j have completed their yearly inventory arM ; a majority report plenty of work on .IianoV increastd activity in pig iron circles is an ticipated. There is no change in Lako Su perior charcoals and prices are held firm. K0 HEW FEATUBES AT CINCINNATI. Makers or Tig Iron Confident of an Im provement Pretty Soon. Ciscixxati, Jan. 29. Special. Rogers, Brown & Co. say: There is no new feature to report in the pig iron market. AU he con ditions remain tbo same as a week aeo. A hesitating temper of buyers of crude iron is not because they have misgivings about lower prices to follow, but it is apparently part of the temper prevailing In all" lines of business. While all conditions are favorable for a start toward activity, the start docs not take place, Meantime, makers of pig 'n are so confident of an improvement that the output continues up to the maximum. There, is naturally an eager puh to secure the orders that are in the field, and while this state or things continues is is unreason able to look for any advance in prices. In the different channels of consumption things look hopotnl and a larsro amount ot iron is being melted. The car works are busier than tliev have been ror vear-, stove foundries report .an in creasing "trade, agricultural wot its are run ning tn the full limit, makers of wood and iron works machinery are tolerably well employed, and rolllmr mills complain that trade does not respond as they expected. In financial linos the bamo tendency of ac cumulation of money at the center con tinues. New York bank deposits are the largest ever lecordea. At Cincinnati and other Western centers the banks find it very difficult to secure desirable loans for their surplus. The temper or investors is conservative, however, and, while conditions arc f.ivorablo for a specu lative movement, there is but little or the spirit of speculation abroad. This is particularly true in pig iron. In past times of depression capitalists have been disposed to put their money into this form of property. Knowing tbo certainty of mak ing a Eood letm-n in the inevitable advance. At this time, however, we hear of scarcely any transactions of this natuie. Offered at Cost in St. Lnnls. St. Louis. Jan. 30. Special Kogers, Brown & Meachatn say: We do not know of any new features to report this week in rererence to the iron market. The demand seems to be quite good, and a num ber of parties have placed orders this month to run them quite a while. Almost everyone is of the opinion that iron is now offered at about cost, but do not see any rea son for any great advance in price, as long as production continues so large. Sales have been made in this market during the past week on a bnsis or $9 50 cash Birmingham for grayfois-e. Tho demand for carwheel iron at ine-cnt is very light, while the In quiry for chaicoal foundry iron snows some improvement. No Variation at ritilatt'lpliia. Tit,t TnrTat -Tnti 90 T&w1n7 1 RrMra j BroBX! l& Co.say: Tiicre is but little to" say , regarding the pur iron market that has not qlmqtlvlipAS trlrt wifh tint, littln Tarinfinn from week to week. The buyers of iron hold the key to the situation. They know many lurnace are carrying heavy stocks and must sell. The average buyer has but little use, just now, for the furnace man that has sold and consequently U firm in price, but bo is looking for the lellow that ii hard up and must sell. The Metal Markets.

Esgs and Poultry l?irm Here Vegetables and Meats Unchanged. Poultry, eggs and dairy products have shown an upward tendency the past week. This is largely due to tho severely cold weather. Fresh eggs are good stock at an advance of 2c per dozen over prices of a weekasro. Demand for creamery and coun try loll butter has improved in the past week, and prices are a shade higher. At the Diamond maiket fruit and vegetable stalls trade is reported very slow, with prices practically the same as they were last Sit urday. Staple meats move along in the old ruts. The retail price rarely changes, what ever the ups and downs of live stock may be. At the fish and oyster stalls trade is re ported quiet. Frozen stock constitutes the bulk of offerinss in this line. A few fresh cod, haddock, shad and bass are stiil to the front. Select ovsters are in short sunnlv and a shade higher.at sottrcos of supply, but not Tjnoiijrh to make an impression on our retail markets.

IIi Democracy cannot be questioned, and his record is unassailable. The Melville W. Fuller Clnb has secured temporary quar ters at Stanley's, and will havo a hall later.

An Eight-Story Bnildin? to Go Up on a Cherry Alley Mystery. GROWTH OF NINETEENTH: WARD. A Ten-J ere Tract Sprinkled With Comfort able Homes in itvo Tears. FEATURES OP SONET AND SPECULATION One of f he Cherry alley mystery proper ties, Xos. 32 and 34, corner ot the alley and Seventh avenue, sold by Black & Baird about two years ago to the Pennsylvania Bailroad and numerous other corporations and individuals, according to reports at the time, was resold yesterday by the same firm to Mr. L. H. Smith, the Liberty street merchant, who will in the sprine begin the erection of an eight-st'ry warehouse on the j lot, plans for which are being prepared. This shows that the original scheme of the mystery workers miscarried. It is now known that the Pennsylvania Bailroad was never "in it," nor was the much-talkcd-of Mr. Clark. Nineteenth TTartl Development. A gentleman who made a tour of the Nineteenth ward yesterday returned with more exalted ideas" of that locality than he had entertained before. He said: "The en tire ward is being developed with astonish ing rapidity, but of course growth is more pronounced in some localities than others. I was especially impressed with the building activity along Euclid, Beatty, SL Cl3ir and Mellon avenues and streets, where I counted 30 new houses finished or nearing comple tion. They are generally of the kind that the city needs, good comfortable homes, ranging in price from $3,000 to $5,000. As showing that these buildings filled a want in that locality, every house is occupied." The TVork ot One 31:). About two years ago Mr. J. C Dick pur chased the Brown tract of about ten acres, on Shetland avenue, near Silver Lake, for which he paid about $100,000. Since then he has been engaged in improving this property with medium class 'houses, until now he has between 25 and 30 either finished or under way. All the finished ones are occupied. Buildings first put up are frame, but those of latter date are brick, showing that the people are demanding a better class of dwellings. Mr. Dick is also putting up a nnmber of buildings in other quarters o: the East End. Iron Mill Consolidation. Preliminary steps have besn taken st Wheeling for the consol'dation of the Bel mont, Benwood and "Top" mills. Annual meetings of thssc concerns were held on Wednesday, and each of them passed a res olution to join the combination. Oa April 1 measures will be taken to carry out the result of the vote, unless in the meantime stockholders raise oliiections. which is not likely. Several ends are to be furthered by such a consolidation, one of which is that instead of each mill operating a nail department not very regularly, one nail mill could be kept going full constantly to advantage, while the other plants might be kept at their other lines of manufacture. Old Time Freight Bates. In 178-t it cost $349 to carry a ton from Philadelphia to Erie by pack horses, no wagon road having been built. In 1789 it cost to a hundred, audit tooica month to carry merchandise from Hagerstown, Md., over the Allegheny Mountains to Browns ville, Pa.; and in 1793 it cost $75 a ton to carry bars of iron from Center county to Pittsburg. As late as 1817 it cost $140 to move a ton of freight from Philadelphia to Pittsburg. In 1834 it took eight days for freight at a dollar a hundred to go from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, and three days and 19 hours for passengers at $15 apiece. It was not until 1853 that the Pennsylvania Bailroad completed its all-rail route be tween the two cities. llnslness Vgtfs and Gossip.

Two or three good bids have been received by the trustees. Western roads have been trying to ad vauce cattle rates from Montana points, but so far havo been unable to agree. Nearly all of the local corporations which have held meetings this year have made good statements of business and prospects. William B. Hayden has sold to K. C.

A nnmberor nuwbuying orders turned up. This is alwaj-s a source of encouragement. One of the best features of the day was Central Traction, which sold up to 27, and finished a small fraction higher. Citizens', Pittsburg and Pleasant Valley were also a little stronger. Birmingham and Duquesne improved their position along with the listed members of this group. Growing con fidence in the outcome of these stocks is a notable leature of the situation. The event of the afternoon session was tbe sale of a 500-share block or Philadelphia Gas by Pinkerton to George B. Hill & Co. at 14JJ. This was J under tne opening price, and H better than the last. Holders showed a disposition to realize sufficient to account lor the depression. Switch and SIznal continued its upward i movement. It was said the report that the j company had secured a big contract from tne -voir iotk central was a mistake, Whit ney & Stephenson, leading bulls on the stock for some time, were sellers.

DULL Denver and Kto Grande Comes to the Front on Iteports of the Company's Tine Condition JIanhattan Declining In Interest Distillers a Weak Point. New Yokk, Jan. 20. The stock market again showed the effects of continued ham mering by tho bears and their allies, tbe traders, bnt a firm temper was maintained during the greater portion of the day and notwithstanding the pressure of the profes sional element prices yielded only slightly, and even in the specialties, which were at tacked as particularly vulnerable, few show losses of moment. The foreigners wpre both buyers and sell ers in the market, Louisville and Nashville being specially pressed lor salo by foreign houses, and that stock is the only one of tho usually active raili oad shares which scoied any material loss for tho day. The selling, however, had more, or the appearance of professional pressure for effect upou the rest of the market than of genuine liquidation of long accounts, and the slight influence which it had on tbe rest of the list indicated the temper or the holders in general. As usual of late, a few stocks monopolized the marked movements, smd while a few were veiy stioug, others were equally weak. Tho feature of the forenoon's trading was the unusual activity and strength in Den'er and Bio Grand-3 preferred, w hich scored a handsome advance and held it throughout the day. Rumors were afloat to account for the movement that the load was about to become a part of a now through line, but it is understood that tho affairs of the com pany are now In bettor shapi than for years, and"tho time has come for a movement in the securities of the road. Lackawanna was also a strong point, but its piomir.ence in the market has been heavily diminished during the last two days. Tho movement in Manhattan seems toiiavo reached its limit, and that stock further rctited during the day, while among tho specialties Edison Electric camo to the tront with a larso advance on light trading. The weakest stock, however, was Distillers', which steadily lost ground all day long, and showed inci cased animation on tne decline. The rest of the market was quiet all day, and traded within narrow limits. The close was quiet and steady to Arm at small losses inmoststocks. Distillers', how ever, is off 2i Louisville & Nashville, 1, and 3Ianhattan,l per cent, while Edison rose V; Michigan Central, 3; Denver and Kio Ginnde prelcrred, and Lackawanna, 1.

Bulls Havo Several Innings In T heat, bnt rinallv Lose the Day 0"l and Corn Followin Sympathy Not a Car of Slaiza Grade Contract. CHICAGO Wheat was lower and very dull in the early trading this morning. The market was mostly of a bearish character. Tho receipts in the Northwoat and here in dicated a little freer movement. The esti mate of the Agricultural Department of North Dakota made the last season's wheat crop of that Stato amount to 04,700,000 bush el"!, Oi.' about 12,500,000 bushels moio than the Government estimate. It was reported that the export business at the seaboard wa. showing evidences of revival; that nearly 500,000 bushels of wheat amlflourwerc cleared yesterday, and that 39 boatloads had been,taken at New York and out ports to-diy. .Tills started early sellers to covering, and there was a quick rally, but the advance brought out free sell ing again, and another period of weakness followed. Then the crowd grew nervous and bought asaln. sending pricnup to out side flirnres; but the advance did not hold, and there wai another lapse. Weakne-s then continued to the endof the session, and the market closed easy, nearly at the bot tom figures. It looked as if pews was being manufac tured for tile purpose ofsee-3awing the mar ket. May opened at 91KC. against 91c at the close yesterdav: held for some time within a ranee or Dljc; sold up to 91Jc; re acted to 91Jc; rallied to 91c; broke again during the last hour to 90Jic, and closed easy at 91c. Corn was again fairly activo, and the in fluence"! which led to yesterday's advance were still effective at the opening this morn ing. The market opened firm and a little higher than it closed yesterday. At the start there was some disposition'to sell, but the advance reported in New York, tho fact that out of 243 cars inspected in store, not a car sraded contract, and the nervous feelin? in wheat, soon turned the market, and there was a littht lurther advance, which held for a time, after which the market weakened. During the last hour free sales.couoled with -the weakness in wheat, caused a break and the market cioaed at bottom ngurcs. May started at 41c, against 41c as the last figure yesterday, weakened to llc, ad vanced to 41c, weakened to and closed at Oats sympathized with corn, and May closed at 30c, a loss of c. Hog products started higher on the mod crate receipts of live hogs and the advance of 1015c at the yards: but realizing sales were tree and some of the leading packers offered their products freely. Tbe market, therefore, soon eased off. There were several fluctuations within narrow limits thereafter, and the close was at slightly lower prices than those at the end of the session yester dav.
