sr THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, , SATURDAY. MAT 28, 1892. " ',. 11 IKON TRADE REVIEW. Market Steady With Sales Showing Up Fairly Well Hereabouts. FREIGHTS TO THE VALLEYS DROP. The Summer Holiday May Be Longer Than Usual for Obvious Reasons. KEfORTS FK03I THE LEADING CENTERS Office of Tiie Dispatch, ) I'ittsbukg, Friday, May 27. J Raw Ikon ani Steel Trade since our last report lias exhibited only slight im provement in certain kinds of iron. The 1st of July is the usual time for stock taking and repairs, also for signing the Amalga mated scale. Humors in regard to what ac tion the iron men will take in regard to next year's wages arc in circulation. Some are to the effect that a material reduction in wages in certain departments will be de manded: that under existing .ircuinstances it will be impossible to pay last year's wages; that lew firms have made any money; that many have barely made expenses, and others have failed to make the year's ac count show a balance on the right side ot the ledger. From some manufacturing centers there are reports of an increase of sales of stand ard HesemcrpiR and of soft steel. Piices, however, liavo been low and lar irom satis factory to most sellers, licimr more or les irregular. Tlie uual midsummer holiday is near tit hand, and will doubtless tic taken advantage of for a suspension of work, which, in the opinion ol certain well in formed patties, may be proti acted longer than usual. A rarnace Changes Hand. The Charlotte Furnace, at Stockdaic, has chanced owners, and is now owned by .Mcssrs. John W. Chalfant. of the Isabella Furnaces Xos. 1 and 2, James .T. Diuincll and Alex Ximick, trustees of Nimick A Co. The furnace is now out of lilast, but will he started npa-'.oon asthecutlook will justify. Fitlshurs furnace are still miming aiid turning out the ii'tial amount of iron, which at all times commands the highest current prices, having a reputation second to none in the l"iuted Mates. souTiiunx I'iq Ir.ox Ilailroads are doing nil they can to assist the iron makers of the South, since our last, roads Irom liiriuiiig liam, -Ma., have made a reduction of iron rates of 30 cents per ton to Pittsburg and Pittsburg points. The reduction ne it into effect on Tuei-day, May 24, hut lasts for onc otic week. hy it should have been made for one week enly is a puzzle to iron men generally. A leading dealer has this tosav: "A fair business was transacted, and, in a majority of cases, at about the same tinnres as hist week. On the whole it is probable that buy ers have had some slight advantage as re gards terms and deliveries, although no actual concession in prices can bo noted. Jlut certain sellers have extended their dales fordeliveucs, which is one of the conditions buyers have been contending for. Itmav buwiidtluit ra'es the past week have been at prices and uu term easiest on record."' Coke Freights Lowered. TnE Latest Treight rates have been re duced from the Connellsvlllo region to the ilahoningand S' enango Valleys from $1 35 to ?1 25 per ton, and the rates to the Wheel ing and Cleveland districts Irom $1 70 to $1 G5.

Ilie System Now in Vogue Among the Man ufacturers of Chicago. CrncAoo.M.iy 27. SpcciaWi IJogers.Brown & Merwin say: With a few exceptions buy ing during the past week has been of the hand-to-mouth policy. Consumers, large and small, admit that their stocks have been largely rundown, but they reason that as long as stocks at tne furnaces continue as large as at present there cannot be any ad vance in price; that such changes as may occur will be in n downward direction; that they will gain rather than loo by waiting; that instead of contracting for six to ten months' deliveries, as usual at this season, they will postpone buying and siruply cover ttieiricquircinents from month to month. A few lai-gc consumers reas.011 otherwise, be lieving that prices are as low as they can go, and aio contracting or arranging for their supplies to cover to end of the year or even to spring of '. The firmness on the partot Southern cokes is recognized, but tales in this direction have been light in consequence, and teem likely to continue in same direction. Lake Superior charcoals remain un changed. Mnall lots are being bought, here andthero prominent consumers are leeling of tho market, but 110 inclination exists to snake laiye contracts. Big buyers are still talking $16, Chicago, but none ot the large lurnaces are willing to entertain this figure, and among them :11c found some who arc selling freely at $17 to $17 M. Cuicairo.tliough the market lemains $10 7j, Chicago, for Mandaixi brands, 111th irons jess lavorably Known ollcring at i5j per ton less. tTnquotablcat ISirmlngham. r.iRMiKoiiAM, Ala., May 27. Special The Iron market is not quotable as yet. Large orders for No. 1 loundry can be filled nt figures considerably under $11, brokers placing their lowest price at S10 23. No. 2 is very little above J9. The movement even at these figuies is not brisk, and there is some eagerness on the part of the railroads to se- cure freight. Xo suggestion with authority behind it has been made as to the cauo of the recent reduction of 50c per ton to Pitts burg points. U went into effect on Wednes day, aood for one ueek. It is iruessed that competition of tho Tennesseo river from Chattanooga may have caused the tempo rary reduction as an experiment. STILL WAITING AT CINCINNATI. AU Branches of the Iron Market Lingering Around Till Things Change. CijrcrxjfATi, May 27. Special. Rogers, Brown & Co. say: Still the waiting mood pre vails in all branches of tho iron markot. Business has been very light the past week. Somo commission bouses and merchants have kept their salesmen at home, not deem imr it any advantage to press iron upon un willing buyers. Orders coine in for small lots for immediate shipment, and these are usually wanted quicker than the ordinary means of transportation can provide. On the other band, lurnaces have at no time felt more secure in their position. They be lieve all the iron now being made will be wanted, and tho lower consumers rim down their stocks in the hope of getting still lover prices, the better are the chances lor a sharp reaction in the market when necessity compels a general replenishing. Southern furnaces are so firm as to refuse the slightest shading of established prices, and if some weatt kneed man occasionally gives way and makes a concession to secure a contract he is quite welcome to the business. Wo have already rclerred to the unreasonable dis trust of value" shown by some buyers usually well informed, and their extreme gullibility when impossible things arc men tioned as about to happen. We illustrate a bit, givinsr the case ot a Cincinnati buyer who thought be would see Alabama No. 2 loundry at $10 50 at Cincinnati, or $2 25 below the present minimum. This opinion was based upon a statement of ayouthlul salesman who probably had never seen a Southern mrnace. Tnis instance, calcu lated to show the humors and absurdities of the campaign, was taken in all seriousness in s-iiio quarters as expressing our own opinion. I'evr people realize that the cost of South ern pig iron is all labor, and labor at lowest prices. There is seldom royalty credited to the land lor ores and coal. Cost, therefore, consists of the wanes paid for mining the coal, conveying it to tho ovens and convert ing it iiro coke, the mining and shipping the ore and limestone and the labor of manipu lating this material and handling the prod uct. The freights paid the railroads are a small part of the whole cost, and these nlo resolve themselves almost wholly into wnues. It is scarcely conceivable that any shorter process for smelting ores will be dis covered. The present selling price of a ton 1: Ki.iy wvge iron in jiianama, Tennessee or Viiitiiiia (uot to speak of Northern furnaces), is little, it" any, more than the total cost of the lbor put upon it. It ought not to take a very wise man, therefore, to decide whether a lurther decline or an advance is tho more probable. The more settled weather has done away with many of the forebodings as to crops that were expressed a week or two ugo, and, on the whole, the general business situation is counted as fairly i-atis.aetory lor the present aud prom ising tor the lulurc. STIMULATION AT ST. LOUIS. The Feeling That Prices Won't Go Any Lower Is Helping the Market. Long, May 27. Special.! Rosers. St. Brown it Jlencham say: A general feeling that prices will uot go any lower seems to have stimulated the market somewhat. It is noticeable that consumers are not carry ing as large stocks of pig iron in their yards as formerly, out realizing that the market has at last settled down to a defined basis, and that there is no change likely to take place which will benefit then by buying Irom month to month, it is expected that lamer orders lor deliveries through the year will predominate. The outlook in the South is encouraging. Furnaces are alreailv demanding an ad vance, and positively reuse to entertain n further decline, or even accept orders lor long dclh erics at present market price- Utile of Interest at Philadelphia. PniLAnELrniA, May 27. Sprcia: Rogers, Brown A Co. sa : Another quiet week, with little of interest to report. Sales are mostly in small lots for early delivery. Somp special lots have been lor'ced to "sale, but furnaces in the South are showing considera ble firmness. The Metal MarketK. Xew York, Mav 17. Pis ii on in moderate demand; '-American.

The week past has been noted by a steady decline in prices or dairy products. Markets tiro glutted with country butter, and all under fancy is n drug. Choice country rolls are selling in a jobbing way at 15e per pound and oven less, while common grades sell at whatever they will bring. Poultry and eggs are steadily moving upward. The un seasonable weather has no doubt been n factor in stiffening prices in these lilies. In fruit and vegetable lilies there is no material change Irom last Saturday's prices. Home raised gaidcn stuff is fully three weeks he hind its average time, owing to the (ailure of the sun to shine on the gardens. Straw berries have improved greatly in quality during the week, but are still ptettv steep in price. At the fish stalls trade Is reported lUht. The demand is chiefly lor fancy stock. Shrfd nre nearly at their end, and Spanish mack erel aic coining in to take their place Florists reporta light trade for the early part of tho week, but a grea improvement in the past day or two.

THE TREND OF TRADE. The Country Growing Stronger Through Practice of Economy. EEASONS FOR HOPEFUL VIEWS. Activity in Euildiajj Shows the Reverse of Dull Times in Pittsburg. FEATURES OP MOXEY AND SPECULATION "While business so iar this year has failed to meet sanguine expectations, and while the evidences of a speedy revival are by no means clear, transactions have been, and are, of a volume surpassing that ot any other year In the history of the city, with the single exception of 1890 As a rule, dullness arises irom the poverty of con sumers. This is not now the case. Farm ers all over the North and "West have greatly prospered, and in so lar as they are Pot spending what they have made the country is gaining strength through the general economy which is being practiced. The easy condition of the money market, the absence of calamity rumors, and the large measure of confidence in the future entertained by the people, are good reasons for entertaining hopeful views. Good weather alone is wanting to impart a for ward impulse to all of the special activities. Homs for tli3 People. Activity in building furnishes a complete reply to the crv now and then heard of dull times iu Pittsburg. In spite ot the tact that operations in this line have had to contend with almost continuous rain, the record for the five mouths at hand shows a handsome increase over the corresponding time last year both in number and cost of buildings erected. The figures to date show that permits have been issued for upward ot 800 houses, the large majority being dwellings, the estimated cast of which is not far irom f 1,500,000. Buildings are of a better class than usual, as shown by their greater cost a fact that speaks well for the prosperity ot the community. They are pretty evenly scattered, denoting a pro gressive movement in, all quarters of the city. In Pittsburg proper the Nineteenth ward heads the procession. Jit.1 Washing ton leads on the Southside, while in Alle gheny the Pleasant Valley district carries the banner. In 1890, a year of great ac tivity, fear was expressed that the city would be overbuilt, but this turned out to be a false alarm. Small and medium sized dwellings, flats and stores sell as readily to day as ever. Pittsburg- is growing at a ratio to absorb new houses of the right kind almost as fast as they can be finished. Yesterday' Building Permits. Eleven permits were issued yesterday for 12 improvements, the total cost aggregating $26,540. The most important are: Jacob Bawman, brick store and dwelling on "Wash ington avenue, Thirty-hrst ward, f4,100; Sirs. S.

WEATBI'E CLERK CISTS A WET BL 1KKEI OVER TnE MARKET. Blrmlnglmm Traction Still Banting Bot tom, Followed In Ilia Distance by I)u quesne No Encouragement for Buyers nnd Very Little Done Sales nnd Fluctu ation. The weather and tho stock market were on even terms yesterday. Both were had. Thore was nothing to encourage bujers and for the most part they maintained au atti tude of waiting and watching. Philadelphia Gas was a little weaker than tho day before, perhaps on the admission of the company that the continuance of supply Is problematical. But ns this fact lias been recognized all along It cannot bo regarded as a how factor. For speculative purposes the stock is as good as ever. It has not lor a long time beeu In, much favor for invest ment. It was thought nt the end of tho midday call that Birmingham Traction had'touched bottom. But this was not the case. It de clined another fraction at the afternoon ses sion, but offerings were limited. This stock holds up remarkably well under adverso criticisms of the report presented in Phila delphia and prosisted attacks Irom an an tagonistic clement on tho Southside. Du quesne was also a trifle lower. Manchester was strong on the asking side. Luster broke a traction fov the day, and U. S. Glass com mon added half a point to its credit. Thero were no other changes of note. Sales at first call were GO shares of Birming ham Traction at 26j. Before call, 100 Du quesne sold 2SJ. After call, 10 Luster changed hands at 9K. and 10 Duquesneat 2SK- At second call 120 Birmingham Trac tion sold at 26. After call, 10 Duquesno went nt 28.

CAN'T A nig Demand for Bonds Which Must Soon Extend to Shares The Market Etill Professional No News to Influ ence Prices and No Dig Changrs. New York, May27. The stock market fully maintained its strictly professional charac ter to-day, and while there was a continu ance of the late partly successful drives in a small way, the exhaustion of the selling power was indicated by the dwindling busi ness and the limited success in depressing prices in tho few drives made at tho list. Advocates of higher prices see much en couragement in tho railroad bond market, of moneyed institutions which, in the ex traordinary cheapness of funds, are seeking this means of investment, which already shows signs of depletion, and niter its ex tension to a less desirable class of bonds, must find its only outlet in shares. The stubbornness with which the late at tacks have been reslstad. and the poor suc cess in getting prices down, with the a'isence of real selling by London, which the hears had depended upon to some extent, dis couraged the further sellimr of short stocks. j and the manipulation had evidently for its oDjecc tne recovery 01 siocks aireauy put out.' There was during the day a marked lack of offerings at ruling prices, and conse quently the market sank into intense dull ness at times; and, as usual nt such times, a lew stocks monopolized the trading, and the general list remained devoid of lcatnro. There was, also, an absence of nensofa character to influence prices, and fluctua tions outside of a few stocks were confined to the smallest fractions. Western Onion and Sugar led an upward movement, which extended to large fin ct ions. Tho result of the persistent circulation of bull points was seen in the sharp, upward movement in Colorado Coal.whichroseJper cent to 33, but gain-wn tho railroad list were confined to lractionnl amounts. The nftcmoon's trading developed no feature worthy of note and no movement of importance. Thore was somo strength displayed In the late trading on efforts to cover, but the market finally closed only steady to llrm, generally at close to fust prices. The total sales of stocks to-day were 199, 518 shares, including Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, 4,400; Erie. 9,030: Louisville and Nashville, 1,750: Northern Pacillc preferred, 18,175; New England, 3,100; Itadlnc, 29.300; Richmond and West Point. 5,303: St. Paul, 10,425; Union Pacific, 4,300; Western Union, 12,228. Railroad bonds were also drifted into dull ness In the afternoon, and while the total trnnsnctionsreached$l 934,000 there was after the first hour no marked tendency In prices nnd little character to the tleaUnsrs. None of the more prominent issues showed eitner strength or activity, except Atchison In comes, which furnisiied $10,000 to the total. Tho market closed firm, as it had remained.

Poultry Still Scarce and Firm V Reaction Follows the Doom or Corn, and Oats on lh.9 Advance Sugar Quotations Move Upward. Office of TnE Dispatch. ) Pittsburg, Fripay, May 27. Country Produce Jobbing Prices The cold, wet weather proves adverse to trade in this line. Home-grown garden stuffis below the average quality at this season of the year for the Jack of bright sun shine. The strawberry supply improves in quality, but fails to decline in price. Choice berries sold readily to-day at 20c per box. Spring chickens are very scarce, thescarcity being explained by the unseasonable weather. Markets are still overstocked with countrj butter nnd prices are nominal. A fair quality has sold as low as 10c per pound within the. past few days. The quality of Ohio cheese received of lute is reported rather low, a fact also attributed to the weather.

PARDRIDGE SQUEEZED. lie Ts Supposed to Hi IleavIlT Short on Corn Tho Price, of May Rises 7 Cents Wheat Trade Only Local Oats Ewler Provisions FnlL CHICAGO May corn rose 7c to-day and closedat 4c advance. Tho cash market was well attended by the lew M.iy shorts, who appear to be standing out waiting for an in terposition of Providence in their favor. It is surmised that tno principal short in the market is the same big trader who for so long has been playing successfully the short side of everything which it is possible to sell for future delivery. Pardridge apparently, however, can stand as severe an application of thumb scrows without wincing as any one, and although the guess as tohisposl-tj tion in tno jiay corn oeni may De wrong, no one expects to discover a confirmation or denial of it from his demeanor. Tho amount of business lor .May was very liaht and the price was very erratic. It was sold early at C3c, and later 64c, 65c, 67c, and even as high as 70c was paid for n limited quantity. Thaclosing price was 67c. July, i rom 4545Ke at the openimr. declined to 450 anu sold as high as 45c later. It closed with sellers at 45Kc orjjo under Inst nisht's figures. The market was slightly easier on account of the better weather and heavier receipts. Wheat trading to-day was almost wholly local. The openimr was about K4C lower; then it rallied YMHc: Undiluted within nar- row limits anu me cioing was nuont mc higher than yesterday. The weaker open ing was duo to clear weather and lower cables, but thero was a fair demand, a few outside buying orders being received, nnd local operators took on a little wheat at the lowei prices, which caused the temporary advance. There was a slight easing off from the early advnnce, but larger clear ances from tho seaboard, reports of drouth in France and a firm market at Paris, together with reports of another storm forming cast of the Rockies, which is likely to cause rain in the Mississippi Valley, had a tendency to create a rather firm feeling for the time being. Oats attracted little attention and ruled a trifle easier, the weakness being due to heavy receipts. Provisions opened firm on hizher prices for live hogs ut the yards, and then tell off on the "longs" unloading, the situation being the reverse of what it was yesterday, with the supposition that tho market wns pretty well evened up, although there may be a few shorts out yet. The impression was pretty generally expressed that if corn held up in the face of fine, weather, this market would rule steady; otherwise it would go all to pieces. Compared with last night, pork this evening is 15c lower; lard, 7Kc, and ribsr 12KC The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor rected by John M.
