THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, .FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 189a .11 EOT A GOOD OUTLOOK. Signs of the Times That Point to a Continuance of Dullness IN AIL OP THE METAL MARKETS. Manufacturers After Eig Contracts Future Delivery for AT THE FEESEST LOW BATE OP PEICES " .-KTEnAL TELEGRAM TO TITE DISPATCH.! KewXobk, March 17. SperiaZ. The Iron Aye to-morrow will review the metal markets as follows: The most conspicuous feature of the trans notions during the past week has been the further development of a tendency to sell crude material for a delivery during the whole of the year at low prices. It is a con fession on Jhe part of some makers, and notably of the largest of them, that thev do not hope for any Improvement for 1892. Many leading authorities in the iron trade do not o quite so far, but there are few who have the courage to predict any improvo ment helore mid-summer. , Reports from the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys are growing a little more definite as to the blowing out of lurnaces, and trom the Lehigh and Schuylkill Valleys comes a simi lar story. But the aggregate capacity thus involved i not yet great, ana is at least partiallv offset by the blowinsr-in of their new Southern furnaces, Florence, Clarks vllle aud Dora being named. Philadelphia reports a sale of 12,000 tons of Alabama , foundry iron, at a low figure, for delivery during the wnole of 1S92, and Cincinnati records a sale of 8,000 tons, the details or the transaction being shrouded in a veil of sus picious secrecy. In Chicago. $3, Birmlng ham.has been declined for a 10 000-ton block, which would indicate that all Southern sellers are not willing to go to the lengths of some of the companies. . Southern Fusion Falls llirongh. The fusion-of the three Birmingham com panies has fallen thiough, and the outcome of the negotiations is that the Debardeleben Company are absoibed bv the Tennessee Company. From different markets come le ports of moderate activity in charcoal Iron. Bessemer in Pittsburg has settled down to $14 50. Pittsburg reports two large transac tion, in billets, one lot of 10,000 tons sold by a Wheeling mill for delivery during the balance ot the year nt $23 25, and a further sale of 9,000 tons, deliver" "P to June, at $22 75. In the other markets little has been done. Rails have been more active. Western mills have taken the greater part of 15,000 tons for the Baltimore and Ohio 23,000 tons for the Southern Pacific, and upward of 15. 0C0 tons for the Pacific Coast- Some interest is shown tn the results of bids on a small order for Lake Superior. The New York re port gives the details of an Interesting trans action in foreign rails, which shows that the English market is getting perilously near the lowest figures on record there. In manufactured iron and steel there has been little news. Chicago notes a little more activity in bars and plates, ana Philadelphia reports a large transaction in sheets, but on the w hole there is little evidence of improv ing markets. On the contrary, facts crop up at times which indicate that values are still receding under exceptional circum stances. TVe may note a sale in Philadel phia recently of foreign Bessemer oie as low as fijf c per unit. Copper is having, a little boomlet of its own on the strength of the understanding among producers. Mines which last year produced 228 000,000 pounds are going tore strict their 1893 product to 150,000,000 pounds. The other metals are dull. Tbe Foreign Markets Reviewed. The foreign markets are reviewed by cable from London as follows : Prices for pis Iron warrants, while Irregu lar, have averaged somewhat higher, with business in Scotch at lis, Cleveland at 36s 7d and hematite at 46s 3d. The trans actions in Scotch have been moderate, but dealings in Cleveland and hematite larger than for some time past. The incentive to freer trading was the opinion that the coal strise and cessation of work by 109,000 col liers, with forced suspension of operations at many large iron works, pending develop ments, "will, lead to still hurher price?. Stocks in Connal's stores have decreased bomewhat, the latest returns giving 490,000 tons Scotch, and 153 OC0 tons Cleveland. Copper has been active and stiong, with an advance in prices of about 2 during the week. Better demand from consumers has helped t tie mat ket. but the chief incentive wa renewed report" of restriction of output In America and of Emopcan producers hav ing been approached by American pro ducers with a view to join" action. Eeports of a cave-in at the main shaft of the Ana conda mine also had a marked influence upon prices. Pig tin has been almost neglected. About the usual business ith consumers has taken place, but speculative interest appears to have been centered upon copper almost ex clusively. Demand for tin plate has been slightly better, with the call chiefly for cokes lor Russia and 'Frisco. Charcoals and ternes are still unusually slow for the season. WHEAT IN THE MIRE AGAIN, Dragging Oilier Cereals and Hog Products Down With It The Opening Quite Cheer ful on Crop-KUlIug 'IteportST-Tue Snoir Storm. Does the Eest. CHICAGO. A man got action for his money in the wheat pits to-day. Traders were more ready than usual of late to move quickly on whatever newsflrst came to hand, and wheat took a big tnmble, breaking 2c., corn and oats each lc, and pork 35c Thero was no end to the Duying nnd selling, and a deluge or long stuff flooded all them on 'Chanste. In w heat at the start, decided strength and higher pi-Ices ruled, but this .was soon changed, and the feeling became as weak as it had been strong, and early bulls were quickly put to rout. The weather situation was the bull factor during the morning, but the early cables were also rather encourag ing. Livornool bains Quoted liKd higher. Crop killing dispatches camo pouring in from nearly nil sections of the winter wheat belt, with the weather still said to be threat ening further damage. On this there was a general rush to cover. The offerings, however, were light, and the result was a very strong market for a short time after the opening, May selling nt from S6o to 86Vc. The business was largely professional and mostly local. The strength oi the market soon increased tue selling, which came frsni the longs chiefly, who had taken it on theTate break and were disposed to realize profits. Late cables also came in neafc and lower, while a generous snowfall was reported in a good deal of the winter wheat country, which was expected.to pro tect much of the wheat. Under these con ditions the market qnickly took the down grade. Holders scrambled over each other in the efforts to unload, and short sellers showed increased activity. Down went the nrice steadilv until a loss of J5e was reached. May. having touched 85Kc. leaded some, and at 12 o'clock was about S5c. The price once more began to- tumble. The weakness during the last hour amounted to demoralization, and there was a drop to 2c below the early prices. May went down steadily to 84Jc, reacted some and closed weak at S4c. Corn show ed a cood deal of strength early, influenced largely by the firmness in wheat, but later in the day all tbe gain was lost, beinz again influenced by the drop in wheat and hog products. May sold earlv at 39c: oroice grauuaiiy to 39;c, anu at 12 o ciock was 3SJc. The market eakened during the last hour, followins wheat. May going off to 3Sc and closed at 3SJe. Oats quiet but flrin early, but soon weak ened and remained so to the end. Hog products weak and lower on the big receipts of hogs and a decline of 10c in prices. May pork sold early at $10 52; broke to $10 20. During tho last hour there was mother slump. May declining to $10 12, but reacted near the- close and closed at 10 20, a loss of 35c compared with yesterday. Lard is 5c low er and 12c.

There is comparatively little doing. There is plenty of local capi tal on the market at 6 .per cent in small sums, and in large amounts, say $25,000 and upwards at 5 and State tax, but people do not seem to want it. They are evidently economizing. I look for a radical improve ment when the weather settles, and the building season opens about the middle of April." Prices Will Go Up. Although still confined to the paper stage progress is reported in tho rapid transit projects for the Southside and West End, and there is a strong impression that some of them will go through this year. Nowhere else is improved transportation more needed. It will give easy access to those districts and open to settlement several thousand acres of land admirably adapted to residence purposes. Southside and West End property is lower than in any other parts of the city, but the introduction of cable and electric cars will stiffen values in short order. Already an advancing ten dency is apparent, and it will go on until prices are on an equality with those on this side of the river. Home-seekers should take this matter into consideration. Tbo Capper Combine. The latest information at hand concern ing the new combination of the copper pro ducers is to the effect that the agreement has been perfected; that all the American companies have assented to it, and that all that is now needed is to get certain foreign properties in. The allotment of annual production as finally decided upon is said to be as follows: Anaconda, 75,000,000 pounds; Calumet and Hecla, 60,000,000; Qnincy, 12,000,000; Parrott, 14,000,000, and the Clark-Bigelow properties the Tama rack, Osceola, Kearsarge, Montana, Butte and Boston and others, 65,000,000, making an aggregate ol 225,000,000. These figures represent a considerable increase over last year s total production. High Prices In Chicago. Pittsburg realty is increasing in value year by year, bat it has not reached a point that can justly be called exoessive. It is, as frequently pointed out, cheaper than in any other city in the country. For in stance, property at Chicago Heights has ad vanced from 260 to 5450 an acre within a year, and other tracts, especially such as have good transportation facilities, are also steadily rising in price. So is property along the route of the proposed drainage canal. Inquiries in this respect come not only from local capitalists but from the out side. At the same time, owners of central property with old style improvements are demanding prices almost as high as those quoted for property fully developed by modern buildings. Big Grain Shipments, Eeports from the Northwest state t,hat there are 2,000 cars of wheat already loaded and standing on sidetracks waiting for the rbads to find tune to transport them to Eastern markets. Taking 30 cars as an average train load, this would make a little over 36 trains, and more grain is being brought to the tracks as fast as cars can be found in which to load it, so that there does not appear to,be much reason that the roads in that territory will not be kept busy for a considerable time to come. Basinets Xews nnd Gossip. A new plan or lots in the Greenfield ave nue district will soon be in the market. Contracts have been let for material for Senator Flinn's 65 houses in his Greenfield avenue plan. Western railroads are doing a prosperous business. The bulk of the freight is grain, but a great deal of merchandise is also being moved. Frederick Grelner has sold to the Miller's Run Coal Company, Limited. 433 acres of coal land in South Favette townshin lor $31,500. The tractions are now the special features of the stock market. That they will sell higher is the prevailing opinion. Among the incidents of the day was an offer ol $50 for the privilege of calling 100 shares of Philadelphia Gas at 19 during April. It was offered at 19. On People's Pipeage $25 was offered to call 100 shares at 13 next month. Xo change was made yesterday in the Bank of England rate ot discount.

BULLS DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THU RICHMOND AND POINT TERMINAL. TVEST That Stock Goes Down, While Sngar Shoots Upward Other Changes Immaterial Considerable . ctlvlty In the Grangers, Especially Union Pacific Railroad Bonds Quiet, Xew York, March 17. As was to be ex pected, the l eorganization plan of the Rich mond and Wost Point caused some disap pointment In Wall street to some interests, and the lealization by such patties was taken advantage of in the early trading to day to depress both the stocks and the trust bonds. Tho concessions made in these se curities were very material, but the rest of the market, while giving no evidence of special import, refused to follow the lead of Richmond and West Point, tind displayed throughout most of the day a decidedly firm to strong temper. To this end the bull ma nipulation ot Sugar contributed something, but the buying of the Grangers was the feature of the dealings, and St. Paul, Atchi son and Burlington worked up a fair volume of business at advancing prices and gave character to the whole list. Buying of Western Union and Northern Pacific pretcried was also noticeable, and the market displayed a temper which It has not shown for some days, though the Dusi neas, as a whole, lost little of the professional character, and tho volume remained small, while in most stocks the fluctuations were still of the hand-to-mouth older, and the business done nas strictly on a parity with it. The advance in Sugar, however, was the special movement of the day, and with the circulation of rumors ot the new combina tion there was considerable buying for tho short account, which has been Irigntened nt the persistent stiength of the stock. Outside of the Grangers, however, there was little animation or force to the upwaid move ment, and the changes in quotations w ere generally of the smallest proportions. The opening or the market was made nt small gains over the close of last night's figures, as a rule. The sudden drop of 3 per cent in Richmond and West Point preferred was the first change, ith the loss oflj in the common stocks. On the other hand, Sugar was specially strong, and during the day its price was advanced 3 per cent, drag ging all the sluggish ones with it, and the whole list appreciated slightly during the forenoon. Tue buying ot tne Grangers, Western Union and Xorthern Pacific pre ferred became noticeable after that, and the feneiiil list responded -more freely to this uiprovemunt, tuough fluctuations were still kept within tne Usual narrow limits. Rich mond and West Point preferred recovered its early loss, but the common stock only partially, whilo the bonds lully recovered (heir losses. The late dealings, however, were marked by severe pressure to sell lrom bear sources, and In the last hour prices melted away mure rapidly than they had advanced, and most ot the gains were neutralized, while in many cases fractions in addi tion were lost. Richmond and West Point went down to still lower figures, and the Coalers sympathized. The maiket.flnal ly closed generally, quiet but, heavy, at but slight changes fioin the opening prices. While Sugar is up 2, Richmond and West Point is down 1, but there were, no other material changes among the active shaies. Railroad bonds w el e again quiet lor the general list, but the Richmond and West Point 5s were especially active and showed during the day wide and violent fluctua tions, and, selling down fiom 69 to 67, ral lied to 69, but closed at 67 n ith u loss ot percent. They furnished $680,000 out of a total day's business ot $1,946,000. The Read ing issues were not so prominent as usual of late, and no other marked movement was seen in the list, the usual slight changes marking the dealings. The total sales of stocks to-day were 244, 901 shaies, including Atchison, 20,149; Erie, 5,800: Xorthwestern, 6,500; Xorthern Pacific nreferred, 6 900: Xew England, 3,445; Read ing. 46425: Richmond and West Point, 29.0S0; St. Paul, 26,950; Western Union, 7,537.

Philadelphia Gas Finds Support and Re covers Lost Ground The Unlisted Trac tions Make a Fresh Display or Strength Pipeage and Switch Held Down. The early calls were uneventful. There was only one sale at the first. The second did better, a number of buying orders com ing out, causing a firmer tone and to some extent arresting the downward movement which was so conspicuous the previous day. Pull prices, however, weie not held In all cases. The afternoon session was the most Inter esting of all. The bulls rallied around sev eral of the specialties and forced up prices. Philadelphia Gas recovered most . of its lost pionnd, closing strong at the best price of the day. Reports of an augmented supplv of luel and receipt of Eastern buying orders were the causes of tho bnlge. The tractions were the leaders in activity. In fact, nearly all the trading was in them. .Birmingham, Duquesne and Manchester were stronger and the rest about steady, Pittsburg alone showing a decline.

New Orleans, March 17. 5peda?. The City Council of New Orleans has finally adopted the Waring drainage system, and it will be put into operation at once not by tho city itself, but' by a private com pany. New Orleans fs the only city in America without sewerage, haying nothing but open gutters, the sewerage being re moved with difficulty in carts and dumped in the river. Xhe matter has been inves tigated time and again, and all the city en gineers have reported that the character of the soil, the very small fall of the land, and the fact that the city is below the level ot the river would prevent the adoption of any practical plan of drainage. The idea of instituting such has been practically aban doned for years. A lew days ago a private company ap peared before the Council and offered to undertake the work of sewering New Or leans by the Waring system. The company is to go to all the expense of it, and to be allowed to charge the householders for making connections vrtth their houses. The Council granted the company the privilege it asked, and it will begin -work at once. The AVaring sewerage system is the same as that in force in Memphis and a number of other Southern cities," where it has given satisfaction. To put it into operation will call for a large expenditure of money, but the company which has undertaken the job thinks it will be able to make a good return on the investment from the annual fees it is allowed to charge lor disposing of the sew age from each house. Groceries. The movement in this line is fairly active, with no change in the price list since the ad vance in sugar noted in the beginning of the week- At the advance markets are firm.
