Office op Tiic Dispatch,
1'ITTSBUBO, rniDAT, April 8. (
1?avt Inor axd Steel There have been
Ecarely any new fcatvlrcs developed in tbe
condition of the iron and steel market since
last report. Consumers generally have a
lair supply, of raw material ca hand andean
cOord to wait. But others need stock to
keep their works in operatioj and are buy
ers to a moderate extent. Valnes show no
particular change. In pig iron the demand
is of limited proportions and hardly suf
ficient to absorb current production and
prevent anv further increase of stocks.
ITotwithstannin-: the inuch-talkcd-of re
duction ia output there has not been suf
ficient blowing out of furnaces as the esi
Ecncies of tbe situation would seem to re
quire. Among leading producers there
c6ntinues to be a firm stand taken in re
gard to concessions on present quoted rates,
and the refusal of certain companies to meet
the prices oflered by weak lurnaces, which
arc compelled t6 realize, has had a bene
ficial cllcet in strengthening the market.
ConMiiners Mocked Cp With rig.
It appears as if consumers of pig who
have confidence in the future and have been
purchasing considerable iron during the
past few weeks to meet their requirements
until summer, are now fully stocked up tor
the time being, as the demand has fallen
back to orders" for immediate consumption.
Certain consumers have all along been pur
chasing pig iron as they required it, feeling
that with heavy stocks and continued largo
production there would be no difficulty in
nuyiiiK iion during tlio summer at about
piescnt akins rates. Northern furnaces
sire 1 educing the cost or production In every
posiblo -nav lii order to meet Southern com
petition. In the Shcnango and 3Iuhoninz
valley a. i eduction goe Into effect of 10 per
cent in wapes of furnace labor on the 10!h
and 15th insts. Slany loading companies,
both heic and at other points, have retusea
to m.iLc concessions for business and this
action seems to Indicate that prices will go
no loner. A lot of 12.000 tons pic Iron was
M!d at Allenrouna lew days since. Gray
iorj;e brought $12, which, under the circum
stance was cousidcicda good mice,
rti-ttom Priced About Reached.
A well-informed Eastern iron merchant
has this to say: "It appears that bottom
price mnt be somewhere near the current
quotations hick are as low as have ever
been known. Some temporary delay toward
Improvement mar perhaps be caused by the
reduction In freights, and until an improve
ment is made it ii hardly to be expected
that anyone will take the initiative towaid
hisher "figures. The word "adjustment'
should be understood as applying to the
cost of iron delixei l at various competing
points lint, v ' i. bole, the immediate
indications are tha prices will remain
about as they aio until an increased de
mand or a decreased supply will warrant
makers in akins more money. The ten
dency will certainly not be toward an in
creased supply, so that cither of the alterna
tives named will probably soon begin to de
velop." The Latest Prices in certain descriptions
arc weaker. Iron Oie A low sales" since
la-t lcpoi tat prices loner than sales made
dining 1S91, nil standard Bessemer. Gray
Forge and Bessemer are not so"firm: outside
brands sold at a slight decline. City ftit
naces are still holding out for outside prices.

range from $23 t0?25 10, according to the
time of delivcrv. Fcrro Manganese weaker.
Muck b.irr dull, demand light. Skelp iron

HO CHAlfOE AT CHICAGO.
Althongh Trodaction Is Curtailed, It Is
Still Far ISeyond Demands.
Chicago, April 8 SeciaLl Eogers.Brown
&Mctnin say: The conditions in this mar
ket are practically unchanged. Thcro is a
large amount of offering of coke metal of
all kinds. Very low prices still rule. While
this is the case, there seems to be less dis
position on the part of many furnaces to
make sacrifices than has been tbe case dur
ing the past inontn or so. Apparently the
bottom has been touched, yet the overpro
duction Is still so heavy that it may be a
lower basis will yet have to be reached be
fore pioductlon is heavily curtailed by blow
ing out of companies now "operating at a
loss.
In the Lake Superior charcoal market in
quiries aro beginning to come in, but with
here and there an exception, thoro Is less
inclination on the part of furnaces to cut
$17 Chicago than buyers havo expected.
Chaicoal interests arc in better condition
than those connected with coko iron, and
while there now seems to be no probability
or any early maiked improvement, indica
tions are that present pricc3 are as low as
can be made.
STILL QUIET AT CIHCINNATL
Another Week or Melting by Foundries
' but No Buying at All.
Cincin-sati, April a fibecfall-Rogcrs.
Brown & Co. say: Another quiet week has
passed. Foundries and mills aro melting
but not buying. The lower the prices and
the longer the deliveries offered, the greater
Is the hesitation to take hold. A few buyers,
apprcciatinz that the best time to get con
cessions is when dullness and no activity
prevail, are making arrangements as far
ahead as possible. There is not much,
change in the furnace situation, Horth or
South. Northern furnaces have ore con
tracts to workup, and Southern stacks bo
lievo they can fight it through. It is worthy
of note, however, that in the Xorth very few
companies aro making any engagements for
ore after opening or navisation. The wait
ing mood prevails, and If the market does
not show signs of recovery, it is safe to say
very little oro will be bought. A good deal
of misapprehension exists as the rcsnlt of
press dispatches from the South late in
March that: a reduction of SO cents per ton
had been made bv the Southern railroads on
pig iron to northern point. Nothing of.
the kind has been done. There is noieduc
tlon to Ohio river points On throuzh rates
to leading markets like Chicago, Detroit,
Cleveland, etc, the reduction is IS cents per
ton. On a few small interior points, the le
riuction ranees from 15 cents to 53 cents. To
nttshunr. Wheeling and like points there is
no reduction.
Leading Southern iron masters claim that
In suite or slack demand and large output,
stocks of coke iron in Alabama aro not in
creasing, bnt are actually decreasing. Tho
largest company leduocd stocks 5 (V0 tons
durlne Jlarch, and had over l'X),C0O tons of
unfilled orders April L. Another company
bad fin,"00 tonsot ordorson Its bonks. Mikcrs
bclicvo that the current production of
Southern coke iron is r.ot nincti in excess or
even the present reduced consumption, and
that this wiahe plainly shown whenever a
little improvement comes in general busi
ness. A feature of the situation is the credulity
of buyers as to low offerings. Anything
told in that direction is believedno matter
how unreasonable or impossible. In like
manner there is common Incredulity that
anything better can ever come out ofthe iron
market. It has been noted that, in the past,
changes have usually come Just about the
time that all hands hare settled down to
hopelessness in the situation. The week's
shipments hare been very henry probably
netr tho maximum and sales have agjre
gated 12,000 to 15,000 tons in tho Cincinnati
market.
A CHARGE AT BIEMINGHAM.
An
Increased Movement in the Market
Despite Greater Production.
Biiimixqham, Ala., April S. Special The
iron situation has changed somewhat in the
past two weeks. While production is being
Increased stocks are falling off sjowly bnt
surely, showing an increased movement in
the market. Xo largo sales are reported,
however, the deals being in small quantities
and at such prices as may be necessary to
meet competition. These prices range be
tween ?9 for gray forgo and $11 50
for Xo. 1 foundry, aur attempt at
quoting the market being mere guess work.
The absorbing theme among iron men con
tinues to be the minimum cost of produc
tion, ana there is a general opinion that the
llres will be kept up until the average price
for the whole output falls below $9, though
no one anticipates now that that figure will
be reached before the reaction sets in.
The effott for lower freight lates con
tinues. The recent leduction affects only
points north of the Ohio river, whereas tne
principal markets for Birmingham iron.
Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis, aro
not affected. The claim is made
that the reduction to Northern
points was an offset to a similar reduction
made by the East and West trunk lines
some time ago, nnd that as a matter of lact
the Southern trunk lines have done nothing
to relieve the situation. It is understood
that these lines will decide in a few days
whether a reduction will be made in South
ern territory.
Business Fairly Active at St. Txmls.
St. Louis April 8. Special Rogers,
Brown & Meacham say: The market con
tinues about the same as last reported.
Southern furnaces are refusing to mace fur
ther concessions, preferring to let stocks ac
cumulate rather than offer their iron at a
sacrifice. Business Is fairlyactlre.although
h wide difference is shown by buyers in
their views regarding the future market.
Some hold that iron has reached bottom,
wiille others contend that even lower prices
will be made. The condition is certainly
very puzzling.
Jnst the Same at Philadelphia.
PniLADEirniA, April 8. Specta1. Rogers,
Brown & Co. say: Wo havo to report no
material change in tho condition of the
maiket. There is no disposition to bny be
yond immediate wants. Buyers prefer to
purchase only for business In hand and take
their chances for prices in the future.

A NORTHSIDE DEAL.
Business Property Near Carnegie
Library Changes Hands.
OUTSIDE CAPITAL COMING IN.
An International Drjgoods House Looking
for a Eite for a Big Store.
FEATURES OP MONET AND SPECULATION
Allegheny came forward yesterday with
a good real estate item. It is significant as
a sign of returning life in a quarter long
given up to Kip Van AVinkleism. John K.
Ewing & Co. sold a business property on
Ohio street, near the Carnegie Library, for
H. M. Sclimith to George Artzberger, the
shoe dealer, for $22,000. It consists of a
three-story brick building on a "lot 20x9C.
The house will be remodeled and occupied
by the purchaser. . This is the first trans
action in that locality for five or six years
Tiie price is the highest ever paid on Ohio
street, and refutes the opinion held br some
that Northside ralues are deteriorating.
Oalside Opinions or Pittsbnrg.
As intimated on several occasions, con
siderable outside capital is seeking invest
ment ip Pittsburg real estate. An interna
tional drygoods house is negotiating with
Black & Baird for a building site on one
of the prominent thoroughfares, in dimen
sions about 100x250 iect, upon which to
erect a mammoth store. The purchasers of
ne ofthe tliree'tracts near Highland Park,
reported last week, are Philadelphia peo
ple. Several of the fine houses in Boule
vard Place have been sold to outsiders A
Buffalo firm is another recent acquisition.
Some of the finest improvements' in the
Battm plan are the 'work of a Boston capi
talist. Two or three Fourth avenue agents
have Eastern orders on their books for cen
tral and suburban properties All this
shows that Pittsburg has good standing
abroad. Under the encouragement of such
practical confidence the market can scarcely
fail of steady growth and advancement. A
feature more prominent this season thau
ever before, and a good one, too, is this:
The increase in rentals is causing many
people to buy or build homes who hare
heretofore been tenants
Street Hallway DeTe1o:imnt.
The MeKeesport Real Estate JliMetin says:
"The electric street railway service prom
ises immediate snd rapid development;
competing companies are now contesting
for the privilege of laying tracks on the
principal streets and extending the lines to
the suburbs The surrey has already been
made for a new line which will make a 'con
necting link between MeKeesport and Wil
merding. The Duquesne is preparing to
extend its line into the heart of the city,
and a belt line extending from the terminus
of Fifth avenue around the city, connecting
with the Walnut street line, is a probabil
ity of the' early future."
Among the Builders.
Building operations were on a good scale
yesterday. Fourteen permits were issued
for 19 improvements, aggregating 522,280.
Those of greatest ralue are: George J.
King, two frame dwellings on Reynolds

STOCKS QUIETING DOWN.
SPECULATORS AGAIN SEEM TO AWAIT
DEVELOPMENTS.
The Most Material Changes, bnt They Fail
to Keep tho General List With Themr
Conlers Still Prominent A Sharp Riser
In Manhattan.
New York. April 3. The' stock market to
day was quiet and down from its late activ
ity, and, white liquidation for both sides of
the account was still continued, it was but
tho final settling up, and business at the Ex
change was risibly affected by this state of
r.ffalrs. Tho morements In prlcos also gare
evidence that operators are again, for tho
time being at lcas awaiting developments.
Railway stocks wero moved within narrow
limits, the only material changes in quota
tions being in tho Industrials, from which
tho rest of the list some tlmo ago shook
Itself loose. The remnants of the demand
from the shorts was snffleicnt this morning.
to advance prices fractionally, bn realiza
tions later neutralized these gains, and,
after a return to tho level of the opening
figures, stagnation marked the dealings
during most or the day.
The Coalers still occupied the most Import
ant position in the market, but their anima
tion was largely reduced from that of tbe
early riart of th'e week, and except for tho
reaction in Delaware aud Hudson, which
wasnatnralin view of its recent sharp ad
vance, their movements wero hardly or Im
portance. St. Paul, Northern Pacific pre
ferred and New England showed the most
effects of the covoringof shorts.while liquid
ation of long accounts was most conspicu
ous in the coalers, especially during tno
forenoon, after which tlmo there was a
marked improvement In their temper.
Tho only movement of Importance after
the first hour was the sharp rise in Manhat
tan, which showed a gain of 3 per cent at its
highest point, but as the general list rose
tho Industrials weakened, and a large pro
portion of their advance was lost. There
were again realizations in the last hour, but
while New England was pspeciauy pressed
for sale and declined 1 per cent, the others
scored only small fractional changes, and
tne market finally closed quiet and firm,
with most of the list at small fractional ad
vances orer last night's figures. The decline
in Delaware and Hudson was the only loss
or importance, and it amounted to 2 percent
nt the close, whilo Manhattan was up 2,
Cordage 1 and Cotton Oil 1 per cent.
Among the specialties Baltimore and Ohio
nnd Edison Electric were especially active
and strong, but only the latter made any
material improvement.
The total sales or stocks to-day were 267,204
shares, including Atchison, 9.S15; Chicago
Gas, 12,450; Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, 5.2S0; Delaware and Hudson, 7.326;

Railway bonds were again fairly active,
the total transactions reaching $1,48S,000, of
which Atchison incomes furnished $162,000,
even the Richmond and West Point and
Rending issues toeing quiet with tho rest of
the market. The temper of the dealings
was stilt firm, but there were no material
chances outside or the inactive bonds, and
the dealings remained without special feat
ui e throughout the day.

PARDRIDGE POT IN A HOLE.
Tho Culmination of a Very Kongh Week
on tho Napoleon of the Chicago Grain
Exchange He Fights the Bolls Gamely
to the Last.
CHICAGO The price of wheat was forced
up3gc a bushel to-day. The frenzy con
tinued long after tho regular closing hour,
and the final curb quotation recorded an ad
ditional ndvanco of nearly 2 cents. Edward
Pardridse, tho queer-looking littte man who
succeeded "Old Hutch" as the most daring
grain speculator in Chicago, if not in the
world, was the man around whom the crowd
raved. Pardridce's ooerations or late hnve
been on an enormous scale, and while
wheat has beon nearly n quarter of a
dollar lower for every bushel thnn at the
corresponding time last year, he has been a
short soller with a persistence wholly un
paralleled. During the decline of the cereal
to 80c, on one of his mammoth deals, he was
reputed to have won considerably over
$1,000,000. In a spirit of characteristic bra
vado ho at the time inserted an advertise
ment in the daily paper, offering to bur
that amount or Chicago real estate In small
pieces. Next day he wasreported as having
said in an interview that the goal he was
aimins at was the establishment of a 75-cont
price for wheat. From 80 cents Pnrdridge.
with his gigantic sales nnd aided bv what
seemed a remnrkahle chain of circum
stances in his favor thron-rhont the United
States, nnd no lesn in Entope, forced the
price about half way to 75e.
Before tho coveted figures were reached
the tide tnrned. Thero are shrewd sus
ntcion! that things were not. what they
seemed, nnd that a few of the stronser spec
ulators with their allies In other American
cities and abroad, were quietly shaping mat
ters for Pardrldge's destruction in retalia
tion for heavy losses inflicted on them. To
night thenstnnisuin: statement was current
that Cudahy had Pardridgo in a hole short
at exceptionally low nrices on rjossibly 15.-
000,000 bushels of wheat. The most conserva
tive estimate was 7,000,000. For weral davs
events have with strantre coincidence mili
tated a-rainst Pardridzes 75-cent ambition.
To-day furnished the cllmar.
The'wheat market opened verr strong at
lc perbnihel adrance on yesterday' closing
pricei. For a straufht hour and a half one
biz wave of excited buvins: followed another
until somethins over2o had been added to
the nrice current for May at the end of yes
terday's session, and July in the same time
moved up from la discount; to an equality
with the May future, thus making a 3c up
turn in the latter month. There was a ter
rific husinpss done nt the very top ot this
bulce, and for a quarter of an hour hundreds
of thousands of bushels were bought and
sold at from S3S3Kc. With marvelous nerve
Pardridgo kept his brokers bnsv jabhinT
tens and twenties of wheat into tho crowd
all around the pit. He appeared in mo way
worried over the bis ndvance, bnt merely
exasperated at the self-willed olwtlnacyof
tho market as It keot advancing. The alarm
spread like n prairlo flro and a bear panic
ensued and was in full swing. Cables were
higher and domestic markets on the ram
page, and a cold wave was reported reach
ing np into Nebraska nnd threatening the
more Important winter wheat States. The
Ohio State crop report was decidedly bad,
showinga condition of 69 asalnst SO last De
cember, ond indicating a ir-op of 20,000,000
lesi than last year, while tho conditions in
Indiana were not much better. Thcro was
heavy realizing and large diort selling,
which sent tho price btck to S2Je. Then it
ruled irrecular for a time, and 12 o'clock was
about S2Jc. On a lew buying orders simul
taneously in tho hands of threo or Tour com
mission houses, the price shot up in about
ten minutes from around 83c to Siic. The
itrcntcst bulge of the day as made. shortly
before the close, when thero was somo re
markable buying, which the trado attrib
uted to Pararidze trying to cover. This
caused the wildest scene or all, and the May
prices went from 83c to 4Jc In a few min
utes. Some realizing nut tno price of May
at 84c nt the close of the regular session,
only to be followed by a subsequent big ad
vance on the curb.
By long odds, the day in wheat was proba
bly the hardest that Pardrige has erer had
to face. Ho got a taste of what was coming
late yesterday, when It is said he called
margins on $1,030,000 bushel, sold around SOc.
He fought the advance to-day up to the late
hour, but not with such round lots as he
cave tho trade on previous days. It was be
lieved almost unanimously that he weak
ened and tried to cover through unknown
houses shortly before 1 o'clock. It was this
belief that sent tho price to 84JJC, the high
point on tne regular Doara.
The corn market started strong in sym
pathy with wheat, and while thero was no
such excitement as In tho wheat crowd,
there was a degree of animation consldera
blj' moro than tho recent average. The
opening prices were Irom Jto 3c higher
tnan yesteruay, anu were tne ion est, 01 ine
dar. May, from 40Je and 41c. nndvanced to
41c and held around 41Jio the greatest part
ot the session. Near the close or the session
it made an upward shoot to 41e, and closed
with sellera at that price. There was a good
deal or realizing on the advance, shorts be
ing the chief bnvers. May was exchanged
in' even terms for round lots of cash in
elevator.
Oats partook of the general strength, open
ing i higher, and making a gain of c
There ad only a lair trade done, and tne
most of that was scattered.
In provisions business was by no means
active. Tho hog market was reported strong,
which, with tho advancing cereal markets,
was enough to bring in somo buying ordors.
The advance in pork was 7Jc. Lard was
very Inactive and fluctuations narrow, with
closing prices scarcely an appreciable frac
tion higher than' dn the day before. Ribs
wero more in lino with the.jork market, and
show an advance of from S7KC-

' " Castoria Is tho best remedy for children of
trhlch I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant tvhen mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and uso Castoria in
stead of the various quact nostrums 'Bhich are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing; syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves."

favor upon it."
