HOPE SPRINGS ANEW
In the Breasts of Manufacturers of
Iron and Steel Products.
JITTSBFEG .LEADS THE, ADVANCE.
Trospect That the Steady Decline Has Been
Finally Checked.
HIGHER PRICES FOR FIG IROX ABROAD
rsrrnAi. tixegrjim to the dispatch.!
New York, March 24. The Iron Age will
review the metal markets as follows to-morrow:
The first signs of encouragement arc be
ginning to appear from different sections of
the country, and the news from the leading
markets is not so unanimously unfavorable
as it lias been during the past month. It
looks as though the steady decline has been
finally checked. Philadelphia reports a
steadier market in pig iron and in billets.
Chicago notes as a better sign a growing de
mand for finished material. Beoscmer pig
at Pittsburg is holding its own at $11 50, and
no further advices of exceDtlonally low
prices in Southern iron have come to hand
from the nrincinal distributing centcro. A
Heavy business lias been dono in Pittsburg
in billets. Wheeling and Pit t-burg sharing
in one order for 20,000 tons, nll-j ear delivery,
at (23 37K-
Altogether, during the past six weeks,
vert- large siiles of steel have been made in
the"Eastandin the West at low prices, the
rolling mills having bought in larger quan
tities and for a longer time than is usual.
Jn the rail trade the Eastern bus-iness has
been confined to one lot of 10,000 tons. In
the West the Manitoba road is in the marker,
but the Eastern mills cannot reach the head
or Lake superior as cheaplv as the Chicago
mills, andaie not likely to participate in the
business. .
Big Salo or Old Iron Kails.
The first sale of any consequence in old
iron rails is reported irotn Pittsburg, involv
ing close to 1,000 tons at $21 62 delivered in
the Mahoning Valley. Interest in the metal
market -till centers in copper, which has
been advanced bv concerted manipulation
on both stde of the Atlantic Our cable re
ports a a!e of 7.000 tons ot anaconda matte
on the basis ot a sliding scale. Some specu
lative maneuvring is going on in tin. Some
negotiation" are going on between Western
smelters and the lead trust, an appraisal of
snmi rr tim uliinu bnin" now under way.
The foreign markets are reviewed by ca
ble from London as follows:
Higher prices for all descriptions of pig
iron warrants ruled during the past tew
da . Scotch moved up to 41s 6d, Cleveland
too'sSd and hematite to 47s Gd. Stocks in
store show a lurthcr decrease and now in
cluuc 49.1.000 tons Scotch and 145.000 tons
Cleveland pig". The crisisin tho local trade
ha served to enliven speculation in some
degree, but interest has not extended much
outsido ot Cleveland and hematites. Hold
cis offer to lead Scotch warrants at fair
rates, with a view to inducing freer opera
tions, but the outside public are shy, owing
to the power of the syndicate to manipulate
the market.
Kxport Dun md for Iron Spiritless.
The consumptive and export demand for
iron continues spiritless, and the reduction
in warrant stocks is duo to idleness of
Cleveland and hematite furnaces, due to the
colliers' trouble. There are at present, how
ever, 7S Scotch furnaces in operation.
The copper market has been excited and
strong, and prices have advanced about XL
Various rumors regarding the alleged pro
ducers' combine have kept a llvelv interest
in the market, and strong American ad
vices have al'-o tended to stimulate specula
tion, while the reduction or over 1.93S tons
In Enronean stocks during the first half of
the month has tended to increase con
fidence. Consumptive demand improved
considerabls' during the past week, particu
larlv for electrical supplies. Another block
of 7.000 tons anaconda matte has been sold
for delivery over five months, price to bo
regulated by selling price of merchant bars
in the London market.
Tig iron is about 5s higher, and tho market
appears to be firm at the advance. The
heavy straits shipments are offset by moder
ate spot stocks ana close control oi tne same.
Specnlation is somewhat more active, with
out, however, much outsido interest. Tho
tin-plate market has been slackand is some
what unfavorably affected by rather ad
verse reports from America. Price are no
lower, although buyers appearto enjoy more
or less advantage.

CORN HAS ITS TURN.
Bulls Find Their Comfort In Both That
Cereal and Oats Wheat Still Going
i Down A Slight Kccovery Is Scored
Berore tho Close.
CHICAGO Eighty-cent wheat was tho
goal for the bears to-day. They didn't get
there. Nevertheless, the season record for
a low price was again broken. The May
option was pulled down to SOJe, and closed
under 81c. On the otherhand, corn showed
remarkable strength, chiefly on expectation
of lighter movement.
Spring-like weather and weak cables took
the heart ont of the wheat market early.
Tho recovery near tho close was on export
buying reported from Minneapolis and else
where. While tilings wero about at their
worst, the Cincinnati Price Current state
ment was received, and it gave no encour
agement to the bulls, remarking that the
possibilities ot the coming ciop are consid
ered equal tons large a production as any
year prior to last. Prices took a downward
course from the start, opening anywhere
from 8J to 81C but sellers were numerous
at the lower quotation. There was a decline
to SOJic a rally to Vc; another slump,
heavier than tho first, which carried the
Crico down to S0Jc, and that was followed
y a second recovery to 81c. About 12
o'clock the trading was again at around
SOJc, alter the advance last noted. Heavy'
lines with 20c per bushel loss were sold out
to-dav, and vers many, with from 8c to 9c
wreckage attached to them. During the
latter half of the session, the wires were oc
cupied with calis upon outside customers
for margin, and the general responso to
such messages was. "Sell it out."
There were sales as low as SOtc, but dnr
ing the last hair hour the price was fairly
steady at about 81c. The close was 80c, or
Jc lower than it closed yesterday. Accord
ing to John Dupee, no demand, except from
shorts, was the principal cause. Corn May
opened at 38c, sold ntSS3Sc up to 39Jc,
offto3Sc, and at 12 o'clock was39c. The
market kept steady and firm during the last
hour, May selling at 3SJS9c, closing at
2Mc
i rom 'following tho lead of wheat, corn
itself became the leader, and some of .tho
steadiness in the former near the close was
ascribed to the strength of the latter. The
oats market exhibited considerable strength,
and the spurt that occurred m the corn mar
ket shortly before the close scared some of
the shorts, and in their efforts to cover they
forced May upto28c, which was the last
price made. June whs nominally the same,
as the active tuture, when tho bell kipped.
May poik, lard and ribs opened and closed
at the same price as they rested at on
Wednesday. There was some trifling weak
ness succeeding the opening,' and a decline
or 10c in pork, 2c in lard and 2J5s in ribs.
Tho weakness was due to heavy offerings.
The break of 8 to 10 points in cotton was
ignoied. The strength in corn helped buy
ins in provisions by scalpers.

action on Water Street.
ANOTHER SALE ON PENN AVENUE.
Stockton Avenue. Allegheny, the Scene of,
a Large Improvement Scheme.
A DICKER FOR ACRESNEAR SHARPSBURG
Still another deal on Penn avenue. That
thoronghfare is maintaining its reputation
for activity in downtown realty. Yesterday
0. H. Love sold the Bishop property on

wealthy manufacturer. It is his intention
to improve his holding on a liberal scale for
business purposes.
A Sale on Water Street.
The first transaction ip "Water street
realty for nearly a year was consummated a
few days ago, and came to the surface yes
terday. The Chess, Cook & Co. property on

and Smithfield streets, was sold by C H.
Love to Mrs. Mcintosh forf40,000. The lot
is 30x160 to First avenue. The building is
a brick four-story warehouse.
The price is equal to $800 a foot front on
"Water street, which is the more valuable,
and J500 on First avenue, which is certainly
quite rea onable for central business prop
erty. A liortbslde Movement.
It was stated a short time ago that an Al
legheny syndicate was dickering through
the agency of John K. Ewing & Co. for a
large frontage on Stockton avenue with a
view to the erection of 10 or 12 first-class
dwellings as an investment. It was learned
yesterday that the transaction had been
practically closed. The location will be
given as soon as the deed passes. The
amount of money involved in this transac
tion is about $100,000.

There was' considerable animation in
speculative circles yesterday and trading
was on a broader basis than customary. A
feature was the indisposition of holders to
offer their goods. This was notably the case
at the afternoon call.
There were several good points. The nat
ural gassers were firmer, all of them except
Wheeling finishing better than the opening.
Wheeling was really stronger, selling at
19. On Wednesday abont 600 shares or this
st ock sold privately at the same figure. All
the street railways with one exception im
proved their 'position. The exception was
Pittsbnrg, which sold at 58. Luster, Electric

BIG UPWARD MOVEMENTS.
MANY
OF THE INDUSTRIALS SCORE
CONSIDERABLE GAINS.
London Apparently Seller on the Bering
Sea Scare Suspicions or Manipulation
The General Bailroad List In the Same
Old Rnt Bonds Dull.
New Yohk, March 24. London was appar
ently a seller in the early dealings, but the
transactions were open to the suspicion that
they were originated on this side of the
ocean; and while the' trading and profes
sional elements were liberal sellers of the
list, there was considerable demand from
the short, and tho leading stocks gave evi
dence of pood snnnort. which discouraged
further attacks, and after a short time of
marked activity the market sank back into
Its now nominal condition or quietude.
The prominence of the Industrials was, as
usual, a signal for the cessation of active op
erations in the railroad list. The Indus
trials were all active, and even Distillers,'
which has been comparatively neglected of
late, scored a material gain on a fair busi
ness. The very stubborn resistance offered
by tho general list to the efforts at de
pression, however, had its full effect on the
market late in the day, when the demand
from the shorts in the Coal stocks became
very urgent, and, beginning with Reading,
all moved up rapidly in the last hour. Tho
upward movement in none was less than 2
per cent, but the Test of the list failed to
sympathize to any extent, and prices, as a
rule, while remaining firm, moved over a
small range. t
The opening of the market was affected
by the rumors of trouble over the Bering
Sea matter, and first prices were generally
from to lower than last'night's figures,
but durins the day these losses were more
than made up and small fractional gains were
tho rule at .the close. The activity in the
Coalers did not last till the final sales and
the market closed quiet but firm, generally
at small fractional gains for, the day. The
important movements comprise advances as
follows: Cordage, 2J4, Distillers,' 1, Jersey
Central and Lackawanna, each Chicago
Gas, 1.
The total sales of stocks to-day were 345,
791 -shares, including: Atchison. 4,100: Chi
cago Gas, 13,800; Erie, 11,700; Hocking Valley,
3,735; Lake Shore, 8,130; Louisville and Nash

New England, 9,084; Reading, 9J.870; Rich
mond and West Point, 9,230; St. Paul, 25,495;
Union Pacific, 7,306.
Railway bonds were again dull, except for
the Richmond and West Point 5s, which
were not only the active issues but supplied
the only marked movement of the day. A
firm temper prevailed in the main, but the
fluctuations wero still without interest. The
total transactions were only $1,512,000. out of
which the leading issues furnished $330,000.

Local Bankers Detect a Slight Change for
tho Better.
Good weather yesterday put a little more
life into business, and bankers rejoiced in
an improved call for loans and larger rou
tine transactions. The rate was 6 per cent.
Bank clearings were $2,258,101 COandbalances
$110,970 74.
A New York authority says: ."Rates for
money continue extremely low. One reason
for this no doubt is found in the tact that
notwithstanding the great decrease in the
reserve which has occurred, the banks still
hold a very' large volume of money fully
one-third larger than at the corresponding
period a year ago, and nearly 50 per cent
larger than two years ago. Last Satui day
the aggregate of specie and legal tenders
was $149,199,600; on March 14, 1891, the aggre
gate was only $112,476,300, and March 15, 1890,
it was but $103,634,300.''
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy at 1K2 Per cent; last loan, 2; closed
offered at 2 per cent. Prime mercantile
paper, 46 per cent. Sterling exchange
qniet but steady at $4 86 for 00-day bills and
$4 87J for demand.

Office of The Dispatch, )
Pittsburg, Thursday, March 24.
Country Peoduce Jobbing Prices
The supply of eggs is not excessive, and
markets are fairly steady at prices quoted.
Opinions of dealers vary all the way from
14 to 15o per dozen, as to value of eggs.
The truth is about midway between these
figures. There is still a scarcity of cream
ery butter in this market, and prices are
firm. The country stores are absorbing all
good country butter offered of late, and re
ceipts here amount almost to nothing.
Florida oranges are in short supply, and
markets are firm, with an upward tendency.
The boom in clover seed has been followed
by the inevitable reaction and prices are
now 50c per bushel below the highest point
reached in the early part ot the month,
nhrh nrices have called a sufficiency to the
front iii spite of the predictions of dealers
that there was not enough in the land to
meet the necessities of farmers.

The Drygoods Market.
New York. March 24. The demand for
drygoods disclosed no new feature to-dav.
The bright weather brought out bnyers arid
trade on the spot was improved. Orders by
mail were of the usnal volume and made up
of small requests. Leading makes of goods
were chiefly in interest, and in some brown
and bleached cottons there were round lot
sales, but nothing speculative. The market
ruled steady in tone, though jobbers wore
retting out some job lots of prints and fine
cottons nt attractive prices. Business with
Jobbers thus stimulated was very fair. Print
cloths have been the snbject of special
manipulation, in manufacturing centers, and
it is uncertain whether tho price has been
changed or not, as In the ahsence of any
stocks nearly all manufactures ate firm at
the highest figures.
