been downward, with no check in the down.

amount of apples have been showed on to mar
kets at nominal prices, as it has become only a
question of week or two that they would 9TH

cold storage eggs been as hard to dispose of as
the past week. Holders could scarcely avoid

eliminated to-day in a general letting down of
prices, as will be seen by our quotations. Hay
is particularly weak, a TACT explained by the
large receipts. The receipts of hay for the
week were 1l9 carloads, while the total receipts
for the week, as bulletined at the Exchange,
were 1874 loads. All signs point to lower priced

through the Northwest to restrict production.
The situation is in the buyers favor, and some
dealers report that concessions can be had

A STIFF UPPER LIP

CharacterlZes Hustlers in All the Branches
of Local Industry-Oil and Stocks Gain
ing Ground.
The salient features of the week in local
business circles present several points of
general interest. Money ruled easy, with a
fair demand for strictly legitimate purposes.
The upward movement in local securities
continued. Gas shares were notably strong.
Philadelphia, Charters and Wheeling led
in activity, and even closed higher than it
opened on Monday.
The influences underlying the oil market were
rather bearish early in the week. Prices were
wayward and the direction downward. Later on,
however. the bulls took hand in the play, and
established a firmer feeling, though without
augmenting the figures until just before the
close at noon yesterday, when they scored the
biggest victory of the week, and claimed to
have changed the tide permanently in their
favor. The bears couldn't see it, however, and
propose to continue the hammering process
until they disclose the colored gentleman in the
woodpile. 1t may be found that he belongs to
the Standard family.
Business in real estate was fully up to the aver.
age of the midwinter season. There were, it is
estimated by Fourth avenue dealer, at least
500 inquiries for property Turing the week and
about 100 sales, cash being paid in most cases.
Leases and rents were about closed up, A
large number of mortgages were placed on
city and suburban property, generally at per
cent The money thus realized will be largely
applied to building purposes and to the enlarge
ment of business enterprises. Thirty-three
permits for new buildings were granted during
the week, at an estimated cost of $4,000.
Iron manifested waiting disposition. 1t was
the general opinion that a good demand would
soon set in and prices improve. Acting on this
theory, the furnaces were not pushing
their product. Butwhile there was no pressure
to sell there was no anxiety to buy-the result
being dull market SO far as business was con-

PREFER A FIXED PRICE.
Copper Companies VIII Sell Their Product
IN the French Svu dicate at IA Cents.

Copper Companies Will Sell Their Product
to the French Synd at IA Gents.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
BOSTON, January 13.-Some inquiry has
arisen as to the present state Of negotiations
between the French copper syndicate and
the Lake Superior producing companies.
The syndicate made a proposition to these
companies to make sales of their output on
the basis of IA cents per pound net, the
companies not sharing in the division OF the
profits by resale to consumers. Its agent
came to Boston and arranged the matter
with the companies whose Offices are here,
and also with the New York companies.
All of them accepted the proposition, much
preferring guaranteed net price OF IA
cents per pound to the original plan OF 13
cents, with one-half the 81 cents per pound
profit which the syndicate makes by sale to
consumers at 16L cents.
The companies found that the 12lc per
pound which was their share became ma
terially reduced by interest, storage, COM
missions and other charges while the copper
was awaiting sale. They never knew ex-
actly how they stood or on what basis to es-
innate Profits. The new plan simpliies
matters materially. 1t mas been placed
before La Societie in Paris and simply
awaits formal announcement. 1t will then
apply to the original contracts for three
years. This matter does not affect the Bos-
ton and Montana, which made contract on
definite terms which call for no change,
being satisfactory alike to company and
syndicate.

A BRIDGE Is WANTED
By Sonthside People to Prevent Injuries

By Sonthside People to Prevent Injuries
and Loss of Life.
Citizens of the Twenty-sixth ward are
agitated about several recent accidents on
crossings of the Pittsburg. Virginia and
Charleston Railroad. A movement is afoot
to prevail upon the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to erect foot bridge over the
tracks at South Twenty-6rSt street.
The Brownsville Turnpike Company, at
the annual meeting lew days ago, also dis
cussed the question, and resolution was
passed by the members, in which they stated
their willingness to grade the Brownsville
road as far as Twenty-frst street, if the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will con-
sent to put up bridge there.
The traffic on the Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston Railroad on the Southside has
greatly increased lately, because all the
Panhandle through freight is taken over
its tracks, in order to avoid an excessive
traffic through the Union depot yards in the
city There are numerous unprotected
crossings along the track, and the danger to
human lives increases almost daily.
Residents of the Southside will hold a
meeting about the matter this week.

OIL STRONGER.
The Market Opens Weak, but Grows Better
and Closes Rather BulIish.

The Market Opens Weak, but Grows Better
and Closes Rather Bullish.
The oil market Saturday was short but not
very sweet. The opening was weak, in the abb
sence of support, at Sc, rs below that of Fri
day. Then the boys braced up, resolved to do
or die, and elevated the figures to S6ss. They
soon found the thing wouldn't work, and lost
courage, the result being drop to S5334, the
low water mark for the day.
This was followed by spasmodic reaction to
$685. at which the market stood when the ham,
mer fell. This was material gain over final
figures, and gave the bulls reason to hope
that the tide had turned in their favor. The
feeling was strong at the close.
In the opinion of the bull element the worst
is over, for the present at least The opening
price was ST: highest S63s; lowest S534; closed,
S6ss. Fridays clearings were 1855, 600 barrels.
Field news was unimportant The carrying
rates were unchanged.
