Raw Iron and Steel. During the past 4S
bours the feeling ot the market has im
proved. There is decidedly a stronger
under-current, and sales continue to show
up fairly veil. Iron dealers generally feel
that the vort is about over; that prices
have touched the lowest point; that a steady
improeinent may be looked for in the near
future. The large operations we ha e re
ported during the past month is good evi
dence of the feelings of interested parties.
Last i eek's prices were fully maintained.
While there are some outside furnaces still
anxious to realize there are others who show
no anxiety on the subject, being satisfied
their time will come before long. A num
ber of furnaces are now enraged on con
tracts made some time since for futnre de
lhery. "When they are filled it is expected
that better prices will prevail. Again,
there arc other consumers Mho have ad
hered to the polio of only purchasing to
meet their immediate wants, notwithstand
ing that boih Xorthcm and Southern
brands of pig iron have been sold at ex
tremely low price.
Xotwithstanding the necessity of taking
measures to restrict the current output of
iron, aud the reports from leading produc
ing sections as to the action of the lurnaccs
in tins matter, there has been as j et very
little decrease in the number of furnaces
blowing. The production continues at the
heavy rate noted on the first of
the month, especiallv in the South,
where, if anything, the capacity of the
stacks in blast has somewhat increased
during the iuie period. Iu certain sections
the railroads hae shown a disposition to
assist the furnaces to hold the market in
the competition u ith the iron from other
sections, and a reduction has been announced
iu lreight rates on pig iron fiom the Jla
honing and Shenano valleys. There is
aUo a probability of reduced rates of freight
on coke and limestone.
The Situation Id Ore.
Iron Ore Prices have been reduced since
the first of the jear. A few uajs since
Bessemer ores, for delivery the present
rear, were offered at 25 cents per ton below
lest year's prices. Taking these matters
into consideration, together with 10 cents'
reduction on pig iron Irom the two valleys
to Pittsburg certainly puts a more fa orable
outlook in fa or of makers. The Xew York
Da.ly -Vtf.ri Eqtort says of the Pittsburg
iron market. "A review of the situation m
the iron centers of the country for the past
week preenu but few changes in the situa
tion. Pittsburg, as the leading nou pro
docrag district, is perhaps the mot care
fully to be noticed, as auy change affecting
conditions in that center are most likely to
produce an influence upon the trade of the
whole couutn. In Pit'sburg wc find a
continuation of that great depression which
has existed nou for a month past. Especial
lv is this true of the market for raw iron.
In billets siles have been rather heavy,
buvmg chieflj for speculative account, but
thee purchases have as yet had but trifling
effect as regards values."
Suel Hails The condition of the market
is untatisfacion, very few orders being
taken and those oi small proportion; one
lot of 5.000 tons was taken bv an Eastern
mill for the Baltimore and Ohio Uailroad.
Prices continue fJO at the mills.
Tlie Kig sale of Billets.
The Latent The undertone of the
market is certainly strong, lion dealers are
well pleased with the outlook. The 20,000
tons sales of billets, reported eidusii efy in
The Itisr.VTCH lst week, caused consider
able excitement in the East, the price being
the highest for some time. To-day we re
port another sale of 2,000 tons at a still fur
ther advance. When billets sold at S22 75
(S.23 00 ne remarked billets at those prices
would be a good investment; parties that
took the hint are well pleased. Bessemer
remains teadi, with sales ota block of 8,000
tons at fair prices. Grav fcrge unchanged.
Prices ol pig iron aavaccedin the European
market sufficient to stop exporting. This
ought to lend strength to our market in the
near future. The Xew York Iron Agehas
this to say. "The first signs of encourage
ment ale beginning to appear from diflerent
sections of the country, and the news irom
the leading markets is nof so uniformly
unfavorable as it has been during the past
month. It looks as though the "steady de
cline has been finallv checked."

'o Change at Chicago.
Chicago, Miirch 25. Sppctal. Rogers,
Brown S. Meiwin 6ay: There aie no
changes of importance to chronicle since
last teport. Rumors are current of addi
tional low-priced sales, which serve but to
lurther demoralize things. The usual lun
of small orders, however, is belm: booked,
while an increased number of luquiiiesfor
Southern iron are being recened, which
latter would indicate that buyers aie about
convinced that pig iion has dropped to
about the lowest point and are thinking of
placing contracts foi next season's require
ments. Lake superior charcoals remain un
changed. The Metal Markets.

THE E0TT0M AT BIBHINGHAK.
A Change for the Better Is ow Believed to
Be Imminent.
Birvij.gham, Ala., Jlarcli 25. Special
Tho iron maiket Is believed to have touched
bottom at last. While gray torso has held
its own at ?9, sales at that figure bavins
been recently declined. There has been a
steHdy sinking in the higher grades. I"o. 1
is being sold for the first time as low as
$11 50, and Co. 2 is oflered at $10 50. Quota
tions may be given f. o. b. at the lurnace, at
No. 1 foundry, $11 50; Xo 2 foundrv, $10 5;
Xo 3, $10: gray forge, $9 25 Even at these
iiguics sales aie not veiy tree, and almost
no stocks are moving to Ohio rier points
and maikots beiond, and no shipments will
be made beiond the liver that can possibly
be delayed until the2Stli day ot tills month.
On that day a reduction to all Western
points, u ill b"e made in freight rates.
Tbe l eduction to Cincinnati is as much as
35c per ton, and to sonic points more than
50c, the a eragc reduction being about the
latter figure. The total rate to Chicago will
be $3 50. This reduction does not affect East
em points. After the 2Stli a large niove
uientnoithnaid will taVe place.
The coal trade continues to show improve
ment, and the use of improved machmeiy to
raise the qualitj or coVc is noted.
The consolidation ol the Tennessee Coal
and Iron with the do Budelcben Company
will not increase the output of Iron nor of
coal in the immediate futuie.
General Closing Down Ht St. I.onls.
St. Locis, Jlaich 25 S;wciaf. Sogers,
Brown & Jleacbciii say: Unprecedented
piices, are now rulinir, and Southern pro
ducers aiecomnelled to accept orders that
net them little or no profit. Unless the
cost of pioduction can be reduced, a general
closing down seems inevitable. Themarket
is quite active, how ever, a number of lair
sized orders having been placed during the
past week. Lake superior irons are m svm-
patny iitn tuo coumuin lions, uui uuio
strong softeneis are in good demand at
prices ccitamly low enough for uonb of
their character.

Slow Beginning bnt a Lively Ending Higher
Prices Recorded for Almost Every
thing Traded In Many Good Features
and No Very Bad Ones,
The stock market yesterday opened rather
sluggish, and apprehensions were excited of
a dull day. The black eye given to the
silver bill, or something else, gave things a
lift and trade the noon and afternoon calls
quite interesting.
The results of the day's operation? were
gains in almost everything traded In. Tne
strongest feature as Birmingham Traction.
Considerable of it changed hands, but not
enough to supply the demand. Philadelphia
G is was elevated a peg, and so was Char
tiets. Theotheis of this gioup weieabont
stcadv. Of the old tractions, Citizens' and
Flensint Valley put a fraction each to its
credit, but Central went off a tune. Luster,
Airbrake and Standard Cable finished good
tractions better than tho opening. Electrio
declined. Final figures were in nearly all
cases the host of the day.

SHARES UNDER THE HAMMER.
ONLY A FEW OT TBE LE ADINO STOCKS
LOSE MATERIALLY.
The Free Coinage Backset Secures a Good
Opening More Buinors of the Resigna
tion of Chairman O.'cott, of tho Elch
monil and West Point.
New York, March 25 Tha stock market
to-day was under the hammer duiing most
of the time, and material losses were sus
tained in many of the leading stocks, though
the firm undertone of the speculation pre
cluded tbe selling of much long stock. The
Coalers and Grangers were well supported.
and In somo cases, as in New England and
Union Pacific, positive strength wns seen,
though no material advance could be made
alter the first minutes' trading.
The news of the action tin tbe fiee coinage
bill in Congress caused a rush to buy at the
openbig, in which foreign houses, both Eng
lish and German, were conspicuous. Mate
rially higher quotations resulted, and In a
few instances further improvement was
made in the enly trading. To counteract
this influence, however, a rumor which was
put out last night after tho close of business,
that Mr. Olcott, the Chairman of the Rich
mond and West Point reorganization com
mittee, bad resigned from tho committee,
caused a bad break in the securities
of that company and the common lost
2 per cent ana tne preieneu aioppea
5. This drop put a wet blanket
upon buying for the long account
in the whole list, and the decline, becoming
so marked, finally dragged the lest of the
maiket down, only the strongest stocks suc
ceeding in holdlngany portion of their open
ing advance.
All suppott was withdrawn from Lake
Shore, and that stock became the leader in
the donnnard movement, even when the
Richmond and West Point shares leacted
quite sharply. A counter movement in the
Industrials failed to help the list much,
though Reading displayed lorn time marked
activity and strength. The beat s again cir
culated rumors reflecting on the credit of
the Noithern Pacific Compiny, and material
help nasdenved them in their attack upon
the pi efet red stock, which nas made one of
the leadintr neak stocks or thcnltemoon.
The losses in the two leading stocks. Lake
Shore and Northern Pacific preferred were
about 3 per cent fiom the best prices or the
forenoon, but the general list was still traded
in within the naironcst limits, and tho
undertone of strength which prevailed
throughout the day prevented any marked
decline, though prices were brought In al
most all cases below the level of the opening
figures.
The low piicedshaiesfurnlshednomaiked
mm ement, except a sharp reaction ot about
3 per cert in Ohio Southern. The pressure to
sell was lifted Horn time to time during the
day, and at such times puces rated feeblj;
but 111 the last hour there was an efloitto
cover the shorts put out eailier in the day,
and more substantial Impiovement was
made. Northern Pacific pi elerred especially
moving up about 1 per cent. The activity
in Reading nas again one of the most ptomi
nent features of the trading, and it also
made a material rally toward the close,
which earned it up to a point which enabled
it to close with a substantial gain for the
day.
The market closed quiet and for the mo
ment firm, but generally at small tractlonal
losses for the day. Northern Pacific pre
feired is down 1; Richmond and West
Point, 1; the preferred, 2V: but, on the othet
hand, Reading is up 1: Distillers', VA, and

Slore Doing and a Better. Feeling In the
Cash Market.
'The local money market was in better
shape yesterday than customary of late, dne
no doubt to improvement in the weather,
which has brightened up things generally.
The interest rate was unchanged at 6 per
cent. Bank clearings were $2,052,467 03 and
balances $437,371 6L
A local banker said yesterday: "The weight
of idle money 13 not so oppressive as it was
a month ago. A large amount or capital lias
gone into circulation, showing a moio active
condition of trade. The result is rates are a
little stirrer. , Money is still so plentiful and
widely distributed throughout the country
as to preclude the possibility of a . stringen
cy this spring. This should, and no doubt
will, bo a sharp spur to business."
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy at 1K2 per cent; last loan, 2; closed

WHEAT GOES SAILING.
Liverpool Cables and the Basso-German
War Scare Slake the Balls Jubilant
Corn Follows the Leader Quite Closely
Nothing Doing Iu Provisions.
CHICAGO Ballooning was the word to
day in the wheat pit. To-night the price is
IJic over the closing prices of last night.
The strength was largely due to late Liver
pool cables, big bujing and reports that
Germany and Russia are getting more in
volved. Shorts became excited, and there
was a sudden bulge in the last few minutes
to 82e, the closing being buoyant at SVyLc.
Theie was a good deal or interest in wheat
at the opening, and prices were higher. The
big decline which has taken place during
the last few days, caused a good de il of
covering by shorts, who hid a good profit
and weie disposed to secure it. There was
also some buying for a calp on the long
side on the teaction theory.
The opening sales for Miv showed an ad
vance orc from last night's cloe, and for a
short time the feeling was strong and the
maiket quickly went to 8IJc. New Yoit was
a good buyer. But the fine weather, the ab
sence of "any sensational ciop damage le
ports. the light clearances from New York,
only 57,000 bushels of wheat, the unfavorable
piivate cables and free selling soon undei
mined the maiket, and the strength dfsap
peaied. Miy gradually losing lc, and selling
off to 80c. It wns from this point during
the last hour that the lemarjcable upturn
occuned.
Corn started strong with, good buying.
Shorts coveted fieely, while the buying for
long account M as generous. Mav opened c
higher and touched 29c: but the advance
le,d to freo selling, and tho buying oiders
having been filled on the earlv rush, there
misaquick diop to 3Sts The break In
wheat about the same time was also a weak
factoi. With the subsequent udvnnce In
wheat the price for com picked np, and a
few moments befoie the close was 39Ji39c.
Thcie was considerable caustic comment on
what was alleged to be suspiciously finicky
inspection, lcsnltinz in the continued small
piopoition of the speculative srades pas-sing
muster. Absence of shipping ordeisswcie
noted. It was 'aid that elevator men, at
iVcundei M 13, iierti taking tho chance of
tlie price of No. 2 and No. 3 coming closer
together, and were buying the latter and
hedging by selling May.
In oats there was not so much demand
from shorts as for several days rast. Offer
ings neio also moderate and steady feeling
prevailed.
Tho provi-ion maiket was stagnant,
mainly in sympathy with wheat, the feeling
nas firm, notwithstanding the dullness, nnd
tho clo-iing M as at about the outside prices
ot the day.

Tlie Drygoods Market.
New York. March 23. Business in dry
goods was rather betterat first as well as ac
second hands, buyers being in better attend
ance and sales including some round lots of
staple cottons. As a rule there is extreme
conservatism still: and the mquirv for de
livery of goods due shows the light condi
tion of sunplles with jobbers and others.

A FAIR KIDNAPEB CAUGHT,
The Mystery or a Chicago Child's Disap
pearance in 1883 Is Solved.
Chicago, March 25V A feminine kid
naper was arrested here to-day after three
years' escape from justice. The culprit is a
handsome, well-dressed woman of 33, who
gives her name as Mrs. Mary Deighton,
alias Murray. Alter her arrest she broke
down and admitted that in 1889 she carried
off 12-year-old Mabel Hopkins from the
little one's home. Mrs. Deighton had
gained admission to the place on the plea of
being an artist who wished to give the child
lessons in painting, and was left alone with
the interested pupil a brief ten minutes.
The kidnaping was at the instigation, she
said, ot Mabel's father, E. 13. Hopkins, a
crockery merchant, and Hattie Egglcston.
The daughter has been missing ever since,
aud is now said to be in a convent at Lon
don, Canada. "Warrants were sworn out
this afternoon for Hopkins and the Eggle
ston woman by Hopkins' wife, now divorced,
to whose tireless efforts is due the final de
tection of the kidnaper.
