KAXGB OF BESSEMER FOR SIX MONTHS
Friday, July 29.
While the demand for raw iron and steel
at certain points ehows an increase it is
evident that the total volume of business in
the whole country ii shrinking on account
ot the uncertainties attending the labor
troubles in the West. A vast amount of
business is said to have been transferred
from one section to the other, giving an
appearance of activity which is not con
firmed by the action of buyers, who seem
disposed to await a more settled condition
of the market. The inquiry, under the cir
cumstances, has been fair, and prices of
standard grades have been maintained,
although a good deal of Southern iron has
been placed at various points under circum
staneei that indicate very close calcula
tion's. Sellers of Northern iron arc not dis
posed to make long engagement at present
prices, having an abiding l.uth that bottom
prices have beeu reached, and buyers are
looking about c:mtiouly.
As indicated last week tlio statistics of
unold pi? Iron show very little change in
amount lrom tlio figures of April L The
heavy production during the first half of
the pre-ent jear, and the fact tliat stocks of
Hie iron areuot much above a month's sup
ply, shun that notwithstanding the de
pressed condition of trade, consumption
during the pio-ent year has been partlcit
lailj lieay. The sales of iron and steel re
ported in me'-e columns since the first of
the month eem to indicate that the large
consumer- have about mado up their minds
that prices are not expected to go any
loner, and that it would ue good policy to
provide lor late summer nnd tall require
ments while the opportunity for selection
is still piesenjed. fheiti is time enough
still to inquire around and
make selections, hut delays may
1roe expensive. Nevertheless, careful
mycrs who consider quality as well as price
are making conttacts. Taking into con
sideration that cross outputs are steadily
diminishing, and as curtailment of produc
tion is the remedy against the evil that has
been depressing mices, it is not improbable
that values will appreciate in tho autumn.
No intellleent per-on will attempt to create
the impression, even by conjecture, that
prices mar advance to any considerable
extent during the balance of the current
halryeur: but the experience or the last two
years has been severe enough in its dis
cipline and depressing influence to cause
the iron men to realize that small favors are
worth consideration.
-ix 3Innths' Iron Production.
A comparison with the six months of last
year shows a curious condition of affairs.

It v. ill lie perceived that Pennsylvania ex

PennsyUariia.

llin-s Villi Last Long.
CrcixfATi, July 29. Special. Rogers,
Hi on n & Co., say: The Intense heat has ap
paiently monopolized the attention of the
pig iion bujers during the past week, ilany
niillsand loundries have been obliged to
suspend operations in part. Business is not
at a st.imKtill, by any means, but fewer in
quincs wore received and not many con
tracts or importance are reported. The
largest furnace companies in tho South have
apparently ai rived at the conclusion tliatno
Lenetit is to bo derived by allowing sales at
lc-s than pi evious prices. Offers for round
lots, early deiivt'iy at slight reductions, have
been reuised. Tiie tone of the market is
quite film at the extieme low quotations
lion pieVHilfn.
There aio persons well informed iu pig
iron matters w ho llimly beliuve that a de
cided ndv.mce uilltako place durinc the
lull. Tliev nave numerous arguments to
prove it, and they can mako out a strong
case. Most of those inteiested as buyers
and scllcr- have not much faith in othor
people'" predictions and but very little in
their own. Buying is principally done to
cover contracts nnd provide for neaiby
wan", teveial Southern carwheel iron fur
naces tie out of blast and some will remain
lornn indefinite time. The cutting down of
production will propably be felt after their
unsoiu siuckB uuvo guwu iiuu lonsnm n t ion,
Nothing Stirrincat Birmingham.
BinMisonAM, Ala., July 29. Special. The
iron market sympathizes with the general
condition here, which are extremely dull
pending the State election of Monday next.
The entire population is engaged in poli
tics. But little is doing and the iron situa
tion may be described aB unchanged for
many weeks past. No quotations are made
and the prices are virtually made to suit
purchasers.
VEBY STILL AT CHICAGO.
A. Few Transactions of Large Slzs Among
Agricultural Implement Men.
Chicago, July 29 ecfall Bogers,
Brown & Merwln say: With hero and there
an exception, continued dullness character
izes the Chicago market, sales consisting
mainly of car lots and small orders for early
shipment. During the week, however.there
have been a few transactions of large size,
these being on the part of agricultural im
plement makers for their season's require
ments not previously covered.
The market shows no further change in
the way of price-, but there is a greater dis
position on the pait of sellers to make con
cessions in the wav of deliveries where
there will effect transactions. There is
little doing in Lake Superior charcoal. On
thlsbnincn of metal there is more firmness
in the way of prices than is true of either
Northern or Southern cokes.
Small Order at St. ton In.
St. Louis, July 29. Special Eogers,
Brown Meacham say: The general tone of
the market continues aboutthe same. Small
orders are being placed at low prices, but no
large contracts are reported this week.
STOCKS ARE STRONG
DESPITE B4TBKB HE ITT ENGAGE
MENTS OF GOLD FOR EXPORT.
Lead Shows Bnoraucy, bat the Other In
dustrials Fail to tppreciate Atchison
and Western Prominent for Strength
Last Prices the Best.
2?EW York, July 29. The stock market
to-day suffered a large order-out of gold,
but displayed on the whole a strength
which uas satisfactory to the advocates of
higher figures, although only in a few
stocks which received extraordinary sup
port were the advances of special moment.
Although the trading in stocks at present
is still largely professional there is a larger
pioportion of outsiders inteie-ted in the
changes of values than lor a long time past.
The effect of th gold movement, therefore,
was nothing tuoiethan to check lor the time
being the buying, and consequently the
amount of business done was reduced after
some realizations.
The Industrials occupied a less prominent
position in the market than during the last
lew days, but Sugar was still one of the lead
ing active shales and pursued a course some
thing similar to that ol yesteiday, a material
reaction being lollowed by a full recovery.
Among the railroad list Atchison was the
leader and on a comparatively large busi
ness it v us moved up about 1 per cent. The
conversion of the incomes, it is lelt, will add
largely to the value of the stock, while the
showing of earnings by tho company has of
lat been verysatlstactorv. The only other
prominent stock which showedany material
fluctuation was Western Union, reaching to
day within 2 per cent of par. Among the in
dustries the Luad stocks became the strong
iettuie, the prelerred rising about 2 per
cent, but the others followed the lead of
tugar and tailed to appreciate to any marked
extent. The market closed stiong at about
the best prices.
Railroad bonds were really active Tor the
fiisttlme in a great while anil displayed a
strong temper throughout, though the final
changes; aie generally insignificant as nsual.
Tnei e vt as special animation in the Atchison
incomes and the Reading issues, the first
iinmed contributing $768,009, Reading lsts
$154,000, the 3rds $215,000 and the deferreds
jlso.OX) to the day's total of $595 000.
Government bonds were dull and steady.

Watson & Gibson to Oakley & Co : "This
market is a disappointment to the bears; it
doesn't go down as they thought, predicted
and hoped it would. They tought prices
stubbornly, resisted the attacks made upon
them, But to no purpose. The first thing we
know we will have a bull market, and they
w ill not have know 11 it except in a shiink
ace of bank accounts and depleted pocket
books. In fact, w e have had a pretty cood
rise in the Industrial stocks, and some of
those who were bullish on these when it
lequired nerve to buy have cleared up
some very nice profits. This much they
may be ci edited with.Now there seems to be
greater underlying strength in the stock
department, and to-day Atchison and West
ern Union, two stocks of an entirely differ
ent character and under entirely diffeient
management, have been anion? the leadeis
in point of activity and ady.ince. There is
no doubt of a bull pool in' Atchison and the
statement of Sir. Siacoun that it would sell
at 50 by October, they are endeavoring to
anticipate and help along. As to the West
ern Union it is a good money earner, and
the natural increase of the telegiaph busi
ness is large, so that we may expect an in
crease in tue dividend rate and correspond
ing y an inciease 111 the market price for
thu stock."

A WEAK CLOSE.
The Market Decline on Expected Bljr
Receipts and Fear or the Hatch Hill.
Chioaoo, July 29. A spasm of weakness
Seized the markets to-day in the final IS
minutes. Compared with last night wheat
closed c lower, com s and provisions 6c
Expectations or big receipts of wheat
to-morrow, combined with a report that the
Hatch hill nad been taken up in the Senate
and that its passage was feared, were the
causes chiefly responsible for the downward
slide. -
The first sales of wheat were at about the
closing price of last night, but tne market
proved quite weak for a time and fell off
c. The weather conditions were re
ported favorable and domestio markets
were slow and weak; but cables came
in showing advances in nearly all
Euiopean markets, stories of small yields
from the thieshers wore industriously circu
lated, and the prediction made that the
yield of wheat on thls,basls would drop con
siderably below 500,000,000 bushels. Buying
soon began, and with no great amount for
sale it was all quickly absorbed, and prices
gradually strengthened. All the early de
cline was recovered and the market held
steady on reports of very cold weather in
the extreme northwest. In several locali
ties the thermometer was said to be down to
SO. and an attempt was mado to cieate some
trength on the fear of frost in the Dakota.
An Antwerp letter said no Russian wheat
was offering and Roumania was 30 per cent
short of.last yeai's crop. Tho indications
to-day were 01 msidered by many to lavor a
big increase in the visible supply.
In corn there was evident reluctance to
pi-ess sales at prevailing rates, nor was
there, on the other hand, much disposition
to buy to iny great extent. The weakness
in. wheat toward tho close caused some re
alfzin'.'. Fluctuations were limited to
yc range.
Oats w ere extremely dnll and featureless.
Price changes were unimportant. ,
The provision market at the opening was
rather firm and a lew orders were provided
for at slightly advanced prices. Avweaker
feeling was developed, however, and prices
receded on all the leading ai tides. The
market closed rather easy at inside. fig-ires.
Tiading was mainly in September contracts.
Freights were a met and rates steady at
2c for wheat and o for oorn to Buffalo.

A SUMMER BOOMLET.
Market for Local Securities Shows
a Little Activity and Breadth!
NEARLY EVERYTHING STRONGER.
Street Hallway and Westinghouse Shares
Lead the List in All Points.
GOSSIP, SALES AND FINAL PRICES
Another boomlet struck the market for
local securities yesterday. It was none of
your narrow-gauge, weak affairs, either. It
was broad and strong and looked as if it
had come to stay with us a few days. In
deed, some of the more optimistic regarded
it as the commencement of the revival
that always follows the summer dull
period. Others, however, looktd upon
it as one of the spurts that
come to the surface at intervals durinc' all
dull seasons and were not inclined to be
lieve that the market was yet ready to get
out of the summer rut. Be that as it may
it was active and strong enough to suit
the most exacting. At the first
call a long strins of sales was re
corded. At the second there was a lull,
and at the third (he boomlet again asserted
itself, the trading being kept np until the
fall of the hammer. It has been many a
long week since wo have had so broad
and active a market, and as a consequence
the brokers and traders were moro cheer
ful and confident than they have been at
any time since the summer season
set in. "The market e have to-day." said
one of them after the close, "shows what we
could do right along if a normal condition
of affairs pievallod. Theie is any amount
of monev awaiting investment, and
just as soon as the industrial sky
clears a little it will begin to pour into
stocks and bonds. Already an improving
feeling is beginning to show itself, and, to a
certain extent, to-day's trading is a reflec
tion of it. If the contention between labor
and capital hereabouts does not a-sume any
more nglv phases, I believe we will have a
good market during August and consideia
ble of a boom in the fall."
Features of the Market.
The shares which figured in the trading at
the calls were Philadelphia Company.Union
Switch and Signal, P. ft B. Traction, Du
quesne Traction, Westinghouse Airbrake,
Enterprise Savings Bank, People's Pipeage,
Westinghonse Electric (new common). P., A.
ft M. Tiactlon, Pleasant Valley Railway and
Luster Mining Company, with everything
showing strength nnd some of the items a
decided upward tendency, and Philadelphia
Company sold at 19 and closed at 1819Jt
aboutthe same figures that have lined lor
the p.ist fortuight, but it showed increased
strength under an. improved demand. Peo
ple's Pipeairo sold up to 12, clos
ing at 12jf12, these figures repiesentlng
a good gam over theWevious close. There
was no news or gossip on the stock,
and the presumption was that it was merely
sympathizing with the advance in Alle
gheny Heating Company and the improving
tone shown in Philadelphia CompAiiy.
Iliidgcwatcr Gas was bid up to 27 and Manu
facturers' Gas to2land Allegheny Heating
Coiiimnr was nuou-d at 75473.
In the street railway snares P. & B.
Tiaction, Duquesne Traction and P., A. &
M. Traciion were strong and nigner. r. a
B, sold up to 2. closing at 2525; Du
quesne Traction gained a small iracilon,
and P., A. & M. sold at 44, against offers to
sell at the same price at the previous close.
Pleasant Valley Railway sold at 2 closing
at 2525 and the others of tue group
weie without appreciable chauge.
Union Switch and Signal sold at 16 and
the final bid was 16. Airbrake changed
hands in a small .ay at 12 closing at
12l125, tuns confirming V"o opinion
o. its probable couiso expressed in tho re
port ot yesterday's maiket; aiid Westing
nouse Eleotnc (new common) Isold at 28
and closed iu excellent deniaudat the same
price. Luster wasjngleda littleViuring tho
closing moments, aim just as the hammer

One of the marked lealuresof tbp day was
a snle of Enterprise Savings Ban It, of Alle
gheny, at 80, the highest price ever touched
and an advance ot ten points ovqr recent
bids. I
The market generally-dosed strong, and
apparently with a', number of oiders un
filled. Oil Traders Still Dave Faith.
Notwithstanding the long-continued dull
ness in certificate speculation and the
almost entire absenee of outside interest In
the market, many of those who aie still
chasing eighths and seldom catching them
aie'not without hope that something will
eventually nnse to revive interest and trad
ing. They have no very clearly defined idea
of what that something is likely to be,but S.U
the same the dogged persistency with which
they dally nurse a thing that appears to bo
dead beyond the hope 01 resurrection is
evidence' that they are not going around as
mourners without hope. And they aie not
alone in their views. Speaking of the mar
ket one ot the brokers doing business on the
New York Consoliaated Exchange says:
"It is true that we have had a very
long season of stagnation in Pipe
Line certificates, but the public must not
suppose that we are discouraged. I think
thut the time is not far awav when the
space on the floor of the Consolidated Ex
change set apart lor the oil brokers will pre
sent a lively scene. All that is necessary is
lor something to set the ball rolling. This
nia come at any time in the shape of new
wells or action on the part of the Standard
Oil Company. It must, however, be ac
knon ledged that the effort which was mado
a short time ago to intiodnce trading in
Buckeye certificates was considerable of a
failure; still, I have by no means given up
.the hope that the day will come when we
will have plenty of orders to execute iu
Ohio oil."
A Good Appointment.
The nomination by President Harrison of
State Bank Examiner A.B. Hepburn, of New
York, as' Comptioller of the Currency, to
succeed Mr. Lacey, meets with general ap
proval from bankers everywhere. The feel
ing 111 jew lurk uuumiiK cucies 13 tersely
expressed by J. Ed waid Simmons, President
of tho Fouith National lUnk, who says:
"Mr. A. B. Hepburn is a first-class man and
his appointment us Comptroller of the Cur
rency is a des -rved recognition of one of the
most capable bank examine: 8 New Yoik has
overbad. Mr. Hepburn was recommended to
the President by the loading hankers and
business men 01 this city and his very excel
lent record in all the prominent public posi
tions he has held gives assurance that ho
n ill discharge the duties of this Important
office in an able, tearless and Impartial man
ner. The nomination of a gentleman of
such high character and well-knon ability
to succeed Mr. Lncey cannot but give per
fect satisfaction to tlio entire banking inter
ests of this country."'
Financial Notes.
Westinghonse Electric (new common) was
active in Boston to-day, where it sold as
high as 27. Recent purchases of the stock
in this maiket were for Boston acconnr.
Wostinghouso Elcctiio scrips was quoted
on 'Change at 87S9. and Pittspurg and Mex
ican Tin at 25 asiteu.
One ot the Luster crowd remarked this
afternoon that Luster- was worth either
nothing at all or it was worth $50 a shale,
which shows that evonthe supposed Insid
ers know very little about the condition of
the company and the status of affairs at the
mines.
A good authority on lead Trust says that
in his opinion the company has in cash and
in cash assets over and above bills payable
$10,000,000. Insiders are said to be preparing
lor an eaily upward movement in the certi
ficates. The increase in internal revenue during
the past fiscal year was a little more than
enough to pay the sngar bounties of the
year, amounting to $7,300,000. There has
been a steady increa-e lu the revenues of
the Government from internal tax since
1885. the revenue 01 that year mnounting to
$112,400,000, compared with $153,800,000 for the
past 12 months.
Little attention has been called to the ex
piration of the voting trust ot the Pittsburg
nnd Western. Its five years' existence ex
pired on the 1st and whlle'tlie trust has been
in cxlatence the road has been reorganized
and made a part of the through system of
the Baltimore and Ohio. The exchange of
the trust certificates for the regular stock
began last neek. The Baltimore, and Ohio
controls the road through ownership of a
majoritv of the commou stock, holding all
but $950,000 out or $7,000,000 ot common stock,
but there are S5,00J,000 ot preferred which
mav come iu for something at least. Journal
of Financ .
Fred Binehart says that anyone who buys
Btreet railway shares at current prices will
have a good profit in sight befoi e Thanks
giving. Andrew Caster is bullish on Union Switch
anil Signal and Allegheny Heating Com-
paiiy. 1
James Carothers has an idea that if mr
outsider can get a statement of.the July
earning of the PltfnnT.:.r'ijnfiiii! com-
bine next week be will be in possession of a
strong bull card.
A. J. Lawrence continues to think pretty
well or Airbrake, and he is talking rather
favorably about the new Westingnouse
Eectrid stocks.
W. I. Mustin continues to offer P., A & M.
TractiOMupport. and still thinks P. & B.
Traction: Is all right. He was after a little
Monongahela water to-day, made the quota
tions on Underground Cable and U. S. Glass
and was willing to sell a little Luster in the
neighborhood of 11.

There Is Dullness In Grain and Feed, Ac
tivity in Provisions and Some Descrip
tions of Groceries and Quietude Among
Prodnce Commission Men No Radical
Chances in Quotations.
Friday, July 29.
Beports of continued dullness were heard
among the grain and feed" commission men
to-day and in the general prodnce commis
sion trade an unusually slow movement for
Friday was noted.. Some descriptions of
groceries were active, however, and provis
ion dealers continued to talk about a strong
and animated market. As a rule prices
were without material change. Crop Ex
pert Prime says:
Farmers mnst be in better circumstances
than they have ever been heietofore else
they could not carry the present wheat crop
and the large surplus of the crop of 1891. I
take the position that there is every succeed
ing year in this country a larger number of
farmers in a position to hold their crops than
of those who are ohlured to sell, and this in
visible supply mnst still increase every year
in a large percentage. There is no doubt that
the early corn will escape trost, and there is
every reason to believe that the late corn
will be in jnst the opposite position unless
there should be an extraordinary late fall.
The production of wheat in the eight lead
ing countries for 1892' is estimated as 'fol
lows by Beerbohm of July 15, compared with
the reported yields in ly)l and the bountiful
harvest of 1SS7:

this season. Steel is in good demand and.
hard to secure for Immediate delivery.
