Another Doll Week and a Falling Off in Transactions. PAIR BUSINESS IS STEEL BILLETS. Prices of Bessemer and Graj Forge Weak, bnt Hates Maintained. HOW BUSINESS LOOKS ELSEWHERE OrricK o The Dispatch, rnTSBUEo, Friday. April 15. Inox axi Steel There has been moderate degree of activity per Kaw onlv a ceptible in some branches of trade since last report So far the second quarter of the ycr does not show the improvement confi dently expected. The volume of business tnlls lar short of the producing capacity of the worts, and, as a consequence, -a number ot mills are running on part time. Pig iron sales were confined to limited amounts, in dicating that consumers have little confi dence in any improvement in values at least for the present. There is, however, a Arm determination on the part of leading furnaces to insist on fully quoted rates, and in many instances the companies are re fusing to book orders too far ahead. Of course there remain the plants, which are in such a weak financial condition that it i apparently necessary to realize on current outnnr. and the pressure to secure business naturally has a depressing influence on the general market. Frodnctlon Sightly Falling OS Production continues to show a slight falling off as compared with a short time ago. While production still continues large, it is the opinion of the trade that there has not been any very heavy increase in unsold stock. Notwithstanding the firm attitude ot some of the consumers in buy ing only as they require the iron, there are others that have taken advantage of the low pticesof a lew weeks back to anticipate luture requirements. These sales liavo as-s!-.tl In keeping production and consump tion moro equal. The stocking up during the past three mouths has probably not been as Kryit as expected. Mr. Carntgio. talking about pig Iron, says: "There Is a great ovcr-prodnction of Iron. The making of pic Iron 1ms developed faster than the demand for it lor use in the coun try. Tlio result is largo stocks on hand and low prices. Wo have trebled our produc tion of pig iron In ten vo.irs that Is to ssy, it lias increased fiom 3,300.000 tons per an num to 9.C00.O00 tons for last year. Tlieie is a greater increase tlian In any other staple product of the United States. It puts us ahead of Great Britain as an iron-producing nation. Tlieie must bo a check on produc tion or there will bo such an over supply of iy frfin Hi.it: rr!i will trf tnwpr rt '' pig iron that prices will go lower yet. Steel Kails n nil Finished Material. Steel Hails The general market con tinues quiet and only small lots are taken at Slat mills: Since ourJ.ist the Tennessee River Towing Company sent out five loaded barges for the touth: other lots will leave in a few la, proldedthetel sufficient water Finished Material There is r. decided improvement In demand. The bnying move ment is one of n general character, consum ers of all sorts and conditions wanting a little of something. Competition is exceed ingly close, lion ever, and lor som- special orders price have been cut worse than ever. Stcil UILLKT3 "The demand has fallen off. Tue largo transactions during the past lew weeks have supplied the market a good dis tance ahead. The Latest Week's sales smallest for some time. Notwithstanding the dullness holders were not disposed to make conces sions. Sale of Bessemer show a wide ranno of prices. Gray forjrts steady at last week's prices, steel slabs and billets, sales show up laiily well; prices evidently at the lowest point. Muck bar weak, but no lower. Steel wive rods weak and lower. Scrap material very dull and prices uncertain. Old iron and, steel rail weak: sales made at low figures. A vallev furnace man said jester- uuy there would ue no moio lurnaccs closed la the valley at present. COKt-SlELTD LAKE AXD XATIVE OP.ES. 1.500 tons Pevmer.

Vi 10 lash IHTEEESTIKG AT CINCINNATI. Despite ilie loircst Prices, linyera Are Weals-Kneed nnd Very Shy. OxcirssATi, April IK Special. Rogers, Brown & Co. say: In spite of the apathy of buyers, genctally, the belief is gaing ground that we arc getting near the final bottom in the prices ot pig iron. Some of the largest bnj crs are endeavoring to secure options or to place contracts for long scattered de liveries. It is undeniable that all the influences in the maiket have been heading in one direction. Manufactur ers, dealers, consumers, and .even out side buyeis haeall been bears talking over-production, under-consumption, 1'rcsl flcntal vr.ir. slack business and lower prices. It is no; surprising, therefore, that the de cline has been headlong. Now It seems to occasionally davin upon those interested that nil is not as black as painted. There are those w ho oven believe that consump tion is actually In excess or production, instead Qf the contrarv, as is generally conceded. Ve beltc e there is more pig Iron being melted in the United States to dav than i being produced. The accumu lated 20.000 tons at the furnacesudurlnc Mnrch ne believe to lie more than out weighed by the reductions or stocks In the buyers' yards, that have been universal all over the country. A return of the buying spirit would quickly reverse thl condition without any Increase in consumption or de crease of production. It is likely we shall go along for some w ecks yet, all taking a despairing view of the situation, and that when a sudden and unexpected change comes in the mood of bujersnnd sellers, those who have been the most hopeless -bears will be the most un reasonanle bulls. This is the history of tho Iron trade over and over again. Meanwhile, production Is being gradually curtailed. The reduction of output will undoubtedly leach 10,000 tons per week, or half a million tons a year, before May 1. This is not enough to effect any immediate or rad ical change, but it may sen c to slowly bring nbout confidence and put the trado again Into normal conditions. Ono curious feat ure of -the present situation is thatraen who usually pride themselves on shrewdness in purchasing raw material cannot sec in the lowest ptlces any inducements. Special cuts made of Job lots or by weak-kneed or necessitous furnaces serve to trighten away buyers, rather than attract them. Unchanged at Chicago. CntCAOo, April 15. Special. Kogers, Brown.A Mcrwiu faj: The pig iron market remains practically unchanged, notwith standing the predictions to the contrary. A good deal of buying is going on in a small way, but only in a few cases are buyers covering their requirements very far into the futnre. Southern furnaces are now sell ing at about cost prioes, and some of the best posted men In the business think this an excellent time to buy. There has been some movement In Lake Superior charcoals durlntc the past week, and n few good-sized sales have been made. Standard Lake Supe rior irons are holding firm at $17, Chicago. A BIT BETTEE AT BIBJtlHGHAM. Some Improvement, bnt Sot Enough to Ef fect Actual Prices Received. Birurcqhaw, Ala., April IS Special. There is some slight lmpiovement In the lo cal Iron market and a general expectation among operators that the pricewill stiffen In the near-future. This lmprovement.how ever, does not extend to the prices being ac tually obtained, but is ndticeable rather In the tone of the market and the attitude of producers. Offerings are made at the present prices for only a short time, and sales are small in amounts. They ale sufficient In volume, however, to continue the gradual reduction of all stocks which set in two weeks ago. Prices still range from $9 to $11 60, accord ing to the disposition and needs ot the sev eral furnace companies. No Change at All at St Louis. St. Louis, April 15. Special. Rogers, Brown A Jleacluun say: The market lias not changed one particle during the past week. Most of the large buyers In this territory are pretty well filled up at present, and in quiries are mostly for small lots for prompt shipment. One or two large sales were made during the past week ana prices obtained were very low. Old wheels are being offered freely at very low prices. The demand for coke Is very good. Continued Dullness at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, April 15. Special. Rogers, Brown & Co. say; Wo have to report a con tinued dull market. Buyers prefer only to consider their present wants, and are not Inclined to make contracts for extended de liveries, even at very low prices. NEW RIGS BEING BUILT. PRODUCERS STARTING NEW WORK TO AVOID THE SHUT-DOWN. Southwest Wildcatters May Continue to Dri:) All Are Not Exp-cted to Join the Movement So Big Wells Reported In Testerday. It was a quiet day in the oil fields yester day.. Xo new wells of any capacity were reported as completed. Preparations are being made by a number of firms and com panies to start a large number of wells within the next two weeks, as an effort may be made to put tire contem plated shut-down movement Into effect o,n May 1. A clause In the agreement, which is being signed, provides that all wells which are arming at tne time the shut-down is ordered may bo completed. It Is to avoid this clause that the wells are being started now. The parties who are clamoring loudest for tho shut-down are those who are either not interested in the McDonald Held, or those who wero Inter ested and have finished up all of tneir wells, and have no new torrltory to develop. There uro n number of parties who ntsv not go into the movoment. Thoy have ter ritory ahead of McDonald which some of the wells now drilling may develop, and In that case it is scarcely probable that the people who hold adjoining leases will be content to remain idle. All Not Expect-d to Join. A producer said last evening In speaking of the movement. "There will doubtless be many who will not go Into it as has been the case heretofore when a shut donn was Inaugurated. The f.ict is that ncaily all of the available territory in sight has been drilled over in the body of the Mc Donald and McCurdy fields. Last fall those who had territory drilled it as rapidly as possible, and the present agitation isonly tbe natural sequence of the leverisu activity of that time. "As long as men can get a 100-barrel well they will go after It, and those who hold ten ltory south and southwest of McDonald, will be very likely to develop it this sum mer. There is a practical shut down now in the upper fields, and Harmony and Zclieno ple arc the only spots north of the Ohio where much real work is being done. "The wildcatter lias already commenced operations in West Virginia, and it Is ex pected that during the summer Interesting developments will result. The work In that regtQti was practically stopped when Mc Donald was-opened up last year." Light In the Gordon. The No. 6 on tho Morgan Elliott farm, be longing to the Devonian Oil Company, was In the Gordon sand last night and showing light In that formation. They have a fishing. Job on hands at their Ko. 2 an the real es tate well In Southern McCurdy. The same Company's Xo. 2 Moorhead is down 500 feet. The Forest Oil Company's test well on the Stirling farm south of Xoblextown was on top of the Gordon sand yesterday afternoon. Their two wells on the scott pi operty noith of Oakdale are In the loo-foot, J. M.Guffey, Russell & McMulleu's Xo. 2 On the Wettengel lease, west of Oakdale, was drilling In the shell above the filth sand last night. It Is located about 500 feet north of their Xo. L Ilrow n, Kobison & Co.'s Xo. 2 on the Mc Murray lease may reach the Gordon sand this afternoon. Isemnnil & Co. have started to drill at their Xo. 2 on the Lee and Marshall lease east of Xoblestown. Ikiilev & Itoland's well on the schoolhrrase lot at Willow Grove will get the Gordon sand earlv next week. Operators around Willow Grove are resorting to nitro-glycer-ine, and yesterday three wells were report ed to have been shot. The Columbus'Oil Company's venture on the Smith heirs" larm Is not j et in the sand. The McDonald Ganges.

DEDICATED IN STYLE, The New Chnrlerol Hotel Pronounced One of the rinest In the State. The new hotel at Cbarleroi was opened Thursday evening frith a banquet given in honor of 40 invited guests. They came from Allegheny, "Westmoreland, Washing ton and Armstrong counties. They con sisted of judges, lawyers, newspaper men and others. Among those present were Colonel J. Y. Moore, Sen ator Bobbins, Judge Doty 'Jack Head, James Clark, H. M. Sloan, Greensburg; Judge Rayburn, of" Kittan ning; Captain James Barnett, Washington; Colonel Chill Hazzard, Postmaster McKean, Assistant Postmaster Edwards and W. W. Coiville. The new house is elegantly furnished from the top floor, on which the dining room is located, to the cellar beneath. It was pronounced the finest house in the State, barring some hotels in Pittsburg and Philadelphia. The building is five stories high, and is fitted up with all the modern conveniences. Frank Hamm, an old hotel man, is the first proprietor, and he never had such a fine house before to preside over. The visitors, after the banquet, were shown through the big plate glass plant at night In the morning they had the pleasure of seeing how plate glass is cast. The factory, for a new one and built by greenhorns, works like a charm and has been coining money from the start. At the beginning of the year the companv had 90,000 feet of glass on hand, but'thls amount has been re duced to 50,000. The trouble now is that the glass can't be made fast enough to fill orders. Charleroi has grown rnpidlv and now has a population of over.3,000. This is doing well for two years' existence. M. 'J. Alexander, who built the town, is also meeting with great success at Barberton. The business activity of the latter place is wonderful. CITY REAL -ESTATE. Conditions .Under 'Which Invest ments Cannot Fail to;Be Safe. AKOTHEEDEALINEASTENDACEES. The NoTeltj of Fifth Avenue Business Prop erty Under the Hammer. OFFERS K0T QUITE UP TO THE MARK Persons who do not own a business em ploying caoital are the ones who should own a home. If they possess or cansave enough. to pay for,a home they can find no other in vestment 80 surely profitable.' The ques tion of taxes, insurance and repairs figures entirely in favor ofthe home. The funda mental mistake usually made in this prob lem is in assuming that those who own no property pay no taxes. This is a most delu sive error. The truth is, that those who most sorely feel the weight of taxation are the ones who own nothing taxable: all that they consume has been taxed before it reaches them. The tax paid by previous owners upon articles they consume has been added to the price of the article. Taxes are not subtracted from the profits, but tbeyare added to the original cost; an3 both taxes and cost are elements in the final cost of necessaries and comforts to consumers. The latter do not directly pay taxes, bnt they indemnify taxpayers for having paid them. It is very safe to say that while the average landlord will realize a 6 per cent profit on his investment, the one who lives in his own house will clear 12 per cent. It Is no matter how the question is npproached; its fair and logical consideration will always bring a verdict in lavor ot house owning and against renting. Ajreare Picked Up, Another deal in Squirrel Hill acres was clinched yesterday. Mr. Thomas Bowes, a well-known insurance man, purchased the Aiken property for 13,000. It consists of about five acres, situated on Shady avenue, south of Forbes street, and adjoins the tract recently purchased by Park Bros. He will erect a "handsome home for himself on part of the ground and market the rest. It is the intention of property owners in this locality, to continue the 100-foot avenue from whiteman street to Shady avenue. This will meet a long-felt want for a good thoroughfare from East Liberty to Scheu ley Park. ' Special Features' of Trade. . Mr. J. C.

Unusual Demand for Flowers and Prices Sharply Advanced. There has been a sharp decline in butter prices since tho week openod. Country rolls are in such llbeial supply the past few days that stock goes begging for buyers at fully So per pound reduction in the week past. In a Jobbing way the best offered is quiet at 20c per pound. Eggs were very firm In the early Part of the week, and were higher hero than anywhere in the country, by reason of scarcity. Within a few days receipts have Been large and prices have declined. Poultry has also Joined In the downward movement, owing to liberal snpplles. High prices of poultry here drew large quantities from the South, nnd prices are now lower than at any time this season. At the Diamond Market fruit and vezeta lilo stall trade Is reported lair to middling.

A LITTLE GOESjA LONG WAYS because 6h.oes once blackened with it can be kept clean by washing them with water. People in moderate circumstances find it profitable to buy it at 20c. a bottle, because what they spend for Blacking they save in shoe leather. It is the cheapest blacking considering its quality, and yet we want to sell it cheaper if it can be done. "We will pay $10,000 Reward for a recipe that will enable us to make "Wolff's Acme Blacking at such a price that a retailer can profitably sell it at 10c a bottle.
