VOLUME OF SALES FALLING OFF. -.3ew Steef Eails Quiet and Unchanged and Iron Dre Prices Cut KEPORTS FROM AMj TM IRON CENTERS Oftict or The Dispatch, ) riTTSBLU', Fbidw, February 5. 4 E.wr Ikon and Steel Xhe iron and slccl trade shows no improvement, com pared with the preceding week, but rather the reverse. Prices for most descrip tions arc lower. Consumers seem to have a Eufhcient stock on hand and are evidently disposed to m ait and take the chances of ' the market for their next supply. In an other part of this renort will be fonud the January sales of raw iron, which reaches the ablegate of 173,995 tons, the largest sales for that month on record, exceeding January last year 88.933 tons. From this it can be perceived that consumers are cer tainly in a pretty good condition to hold off at least for a time. Under these circum stances the outlook is certainly not a very favorable one, as nothing of an encouraging nature can be said of the iron trade at present. Phenomena! Production of Pie. Since our last report there has been a general slackening of trade and prices have been perceptibly weakened, while the pro duction of pig iron still continues at a phe nomenal rate. The demand is falling a little behind, and there are more sellers than buyers cot only of pig iron but also in every otner branch "of the trade. At the same time this condition of affairs cannot last long; the stock of raw iron in the hands of consumers, at the present rate of consump tion, will soon be exhausted, when they will find it again necessary to enter the market lor a supply of material to keep their mills in operation. Stocks of unsold iron are growing gradually.although the ag gregate oi the surplus is still small in com parison with the great consumption. It must not be imagined that the consumption of iron and steel is decreasing, for the con trary is the fact; but the great increase in productive capacity during recent years has been rather in excess of the consumptive de mand for urodnct. Steel Rails The Louisville and Xash ville Railroad has placed an order for 6,000 tons rails with Carnegie Bros. & Co., the price being $30 at the works. An order for the same amount from the same parties was placed u ith the Cambria Iron Com pany. The President of a prominent Southern mill says: "I was in Pittsburg a few days ago, and in conversation with the manager of one of the most prominent iron works there lie told me that the business has sud denly sprung into great activity, and for the last ten days orders have been pourinc in, giving them all they can do for months to come." An Kastern rirm Meets Competition. The Thomas Pig Iron Company, one of the largest Eastern producers, announces a reduction of 59 cents per ton on foundry grades, but this merely signifies meeting figures named by competitors for some time past The Eastern prices are: Xo. 1 foun dry, $17 00&17 50; .N'o. 2 toundry, S1G 00 1620; mill iron, 513 oO&li 50; these rates from $1 to SI 25 per ton above Pittsburg prices. A Philadelphia paper says a Pitts burg mill has secured on order for 2,500 tons of ship plates for San Francisco at 1 S3 nt mill. The Latest Prices continue very weak although sales show no particular chame. Certain city furnaces are not offering, pre ferring to nait for better Drices, having an abiding faith that they will not have to wait loner. Ikon Onn No new sales of Bessemer iron ore for 1S92 have been made since our last, but prices are weaker and offers are being made at 10 to 15 cents per ton above "Ht vear's prices. Muck bar dull and very mncli neglected. Billets and slabs are weak and prices uncertain. Bessemer sold at various prices. Gray forge shows no de cline lroni last week. Scrap material is dull and prices irregular. Old iron and steel rails are weak, sales restricted and prices governed by circumstances.

ISpeeiai There is a better feclins in tho Iron trade, despite the fact that prices do not improve Offers have been declined by furnaces thlstteek which would readily have been accepted a lew weeks ago. The cut rent quotations re main at No. 1 foundry, L; No. 2 loundry, $11; So. S foundry. $10; gray forge. S3. Theso quotations continue nominal, ah kales are made below theo figures by furnaces ac cording to the need of realizing. The really Interesting rcature of the situ ation localiv is caused by experiments in coal waliir.g that are said to have proved MiccPMUl in eliminating sulphur fi 0111 tho coke or this district. SUphur has always beoti the !'rcalct i-nemy -f tho Birmingham 'ussier. Tho new vi asbcr, which is also a crusher, is a German Invention, and tho claim is made for it that it reduces tho sul phur so completely as to make coke equal to the Connc.Isviflo product, and thereby reduces the cost ot iron bv from $1 to $2 per ton. Tho Slos Company has erected one at a cost of $25 0J0, ana other companies havo mado arrangements to put them in as soon as possible. The local reelinz has been brightened by tho increased trade in the manufactured products. Tho Bessemer Pipe Works havo this week made contracts with Texas cities alone for $400,000 worth of sener pipe and thcro is a general increase in the demand. FAIE BTH AT CIHCIHSATI. Only Small Orders Reported, bat Quito a Good Manv ot Them. CrscrasATt, Feb. 5. ISpcctaU Rogers, Brown A Co. say: Dealers havo enjoyed a fair run of orders for piir iron during tho past week. Thev have been mainly small orders, and a good many rT them. This illustrates the temper of buyers hich Is to provide for immediate or early needs and wait to sec the conrse of event1. A few are trying, oil tho other hand, to cover their re quirements as far ahead as possible. Somo have been in tho field for deliveries begin nings lato us .Tune and running forward. There are no furnaces willinir to take that kind of business nuless at advanced prices, and few snch trades have been closed. Southern irons have had the most uniform demand and their shipments continue ap putentlynla rato in excess of production. Ohio softener also have been moving' freely. Standard Southern car wheel Irons hae experienced tlie best market for many months. Lake superior clnrcoal iron moves but slowly and low ofierin;rt arc reported. Lake ore coke irons are suhject to a fair and steady demand, but hardly equal to the output. General in fluences continue backward and hesitating. There is a nood deal of tnonev everywhere. but the useot it is wanting. Rates at the bank-, are slowly declining, and it is a ques tion how long tho holder of Idle funds ill be mllini: to loreso their earning power and retrain from making investments. There is certainly u,general absence of speculative feeling throughout the country, bat conditions aro verv favorable for an outbreak at any time. Furnaces are study ins posMbilities of lower cost, but this crouud has been gone over in the past so thorougnly, under the pressure of necessity, that it is difficult to ee how it can be materiallv cut down in any district in the United States. Nearly all producers are holding on, however, in the nope that tho tmn will come soon. If it should be much lonser delayed, production will bo ma terially decreased. HOI A E00E AT CHICAGO, Bnt Quito a Good easiness Is Being Done in the Coke Irons. CniCAGO, Feb. 5. SpeciaL Rogers, Brown & Merwin say: A good amount of business is still going on in pic iron circles, the de mand being mainly for Northern and South ern cokes. During the past week a number of larse contracts have been placed. In several instances deliveries havo been through the entire year, and prices, even on tnese deliveries, have been shaded below bottom quotations. Other buyers aro in tho market figuring on contracts extending over six to ten months. Charcoal irons remain for the most part inactive, vaiious Lake Su perior furnaces holding at $17 00 as mini mum, while two or three leadine companies are refusing to sell below 17 50 Chicago. As to the outlook, while senoral business is good and consumption of icon heavy there re no signs of any immediate im provement in the way of prices. .Manufac turers have expected that at least a stiffen ing would take place beiore this time, but they have been disappointed. T:ie market remains on the same ceneral basis which has ruled during tho past 29 to GO days. No Market at All at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Feb. 5. Special. Rogers, Brown & Co. say: We believe in being frank and hitting tho nail on the head. There is no iron market to report. No sales of moment have been made this week.

At the Diamond market stalls trade is re ported slow lor the week past. New pota toes, onions and beets from the Gulr of Mexico are to the front, but are, so far, Cull and slow. In the past day or two crgs that are strictly fresh aro active at a sharp ad vance. The advance on esgs tho past week or two is equivalent to 5c per dozen in a jobbing wa. Country butter is not in such liberal supnly as it has been for a few weeks past, and markets ai e barelv steady, l'oul ny supply is more than sufficient to meet all demands, and markets aro not as firm as thevweio a week ago. At the fish stalls trade is reported slow. The stock of fi ozen fish in the lake country is fully 600 tons less than it was last season. When it is remem bered that there was not enough stock to go round, it is plain that there must bo an ad vance in puces this season, fcelect oysters are scarce and very firm at prices quoted.

I Checks an Otherwise Buoyant Stock Market ltnllroad Bonds Reach Their Turning Point Distillers' Find the Bot tom and Brgin to Kiso Steadily. New Youk, Feb. 5. There was a marked Improvement in the temper of the stock market to-day, and despite the very stren uous efforts of the bears to continue the de cline of yesterday they were clearly out classed, and in tho stocks which attracted attention material gains were scored as the result of the day's operations. On the other hand there was free realizing in some stocks, and the bond market, which has of lato been steadily tending upward, yielded to the pressure bronght to bear on the Atchison securities. Tho last named were, by all odds, the mot prominent feature ot the day, and especially during tho lorcnoon they had a marked effect for evil on the market. The Coal stocks, however, came to the front, and by their pronounced strength and sharp upward tarns the general market was brought out of its condition of lethargy in which it had remained durlnc; the entire any, and a general improvement in values occuncd. The Grangers were rather slug gish throughout the day, and St. Paul was pressed for sain to some extent: but Louis ville and Nashville responded to the changed condition of the foreigners and also to the disappointment of tho bcais over its good showiug of e irnings. Edison elec tric opened up to 104, hut realizing on tho advance caused by the new combination sent it back apain to last nights price, and the other specialties were quiet and with out feature during tho entire day. The general market opened active ard higher, but the realizations in the Atchison securities and their material losses devel oped a droonintr tendency in the whole list. 1 and fractional losses were the inle. Distil- lers.Jiowcver, after a decline of 1J per cent. ialliedover3pcr cent and lilted tne rest of the list slowly, ana ulicn the movement in the Coalers ahd Western Union began every thing responded with more substantial gains. The fluctuations in the general list, however, vi ere insignificant in almost all cases, and the final changes, while general advances, were without importance. The close under the stimulus of the ad vance in the Coalers was very active and strong at the highest noints. Thcro ero no declines of note, and Jersey Central and Delaware and Hudson each rose 2 per cent; Distillers'. 2x Louisville and Nashville, 1J; Beading, and Lackawanna and Western Union, 1 per cent. Bailroad bonds were affected by the heavy realizations in Atchison incomes, but the latter, after dropping from Gl to 69, recov ered and closed unchanged at 60. They contributed 1,390,000 to the day's total of 3,575,000. The Beading issues wci-c strong on the settlement, and all scored material gains. On the other hand, declines are the rnlo nmons tho rest of the list. The total sale ofstooks to-dav wcro 410 895 shares Including Atchison, 74 610; Chicago Gas 8,570; D.

Krutschnitt, the Chairman of the anti-Lottery Democratic Executive Committee, who uses the following lan guage: The letter published by John A. Morris In the morning papers, withdrawing his lottery proposition, docs not make tho slightest changeJin the campaign or in the programme of our party. The proposition heietoforemadeby tho lottery company is no longer acceptable to its advocates by leason of the curtailment of its revenue throngli the late decision of tho Supremo Court of the United States; bnt'should their attempt to capture the .State govern ment succeed they may yet strive to call & Constitutional Convention under the pretext of regulating suffrage, as was done in Mississippi, and ob tain another grant for tho lottery in tho hew constitution upon terms more favora ble to its advocates than tho amendment now before tho people, or adopt somo other means of nchlavinj; their object. Wo aro perfectly satisfied with tho present coudi- tion of the canvass. EGG MARKETS WILD. A Great Scarcity of Hen Fruit at All Centers, and Prices, VERY FIRM AT A SQARP ADVANCE.

LOOKING FOR AN UPTURN. A Decidedly Bullish Day on Wheat Cables Tery Favorably as Is tho General Senti ment on 'Change Corn Continues Strong Oat Quiet nnd Firm. CHICAGO The feeling on 'Change to-day in regard to wheat was more decidedly bull ish than it has been for some time past, and a marked advance in prices was recorded. A sentiment seems to be growing among operators that after a shrinkage of about 303 perbnshelm value sinco the lilsh prices were made as the result of the European crop shortase, tnero Is small ground to ex pect a further marked decline, and that tne time has about come for an upward move ment. This sentiment was fostered by the dav'news. Cables indicated advances at nearly all foreijn points. Reports from India in regard to tho crop to be harvested next month, said it would fall short of last year's crop ahont 15 ier cent, or an esti mated aggregate of 35,100,000 bushel iTi vateadvicei told of hard frosts in France. There were also a number ot discouraging leports in regard to the winter wheat crop in Kansas and elsewhere. There was not only good investment bnv inir, but free covering by shorts, who felt their position endangered and hastened to run up their trades at the best terms obtain able, and while there was yet n margin of profit. There was but littlo pressure to sell, and the market absorbed it all readily with out Derceptible weakness Jlay opened un changed at !e higher: advanced to $9c; re acted to SSJJc; &teullly up to 90e. uefore noon. During the last hour the Dull senti ment continued to grow and was helped along by the stronger closing cables. Some shorts who conra-jeously held out againt the earlv firmness finally began to feel ner vous. There was an excited scramble to buy in. Under tho demand May advanced to 91c, and closed firm nt 91c Corn continued to show much strength. Cables were higher, the shipping demand uood and exports generous. Shorts s-how nn increasing nervousness and more dispo sition to cover, while the offerings were light. Thi combined throughout the ses sion and the close was at the highest figures of the day and at a net advance of lIc over tho closing price of ycterdny. Tne strenzth in wheat u as also sympathetically felt in tho corn pit. The advance was con tinuous., without material reaction during the session. Oats quiet Out firm and advanced JiKc- llog products were firm and closed with small advances, though slightly under the best figures of t:io session.
