THE MARKET STILL SLOW.
But Little Improvement Visible in Foreign
Metal Transactions.

Metal Transactions.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.t
NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The Iron Age's weekly
report of the foreign iron and metal markets is
as follows: London prices for warrants have
ruled irregular on a fair volume of business
Scotch show an Improvement at 46s. I'd. on
latest transactions. while Cleveland have varied
but little from 42s Sd. 043s., and hematites have
stood at about sis. @A. Sd. Apart from fairly
large buying for the South of England ac-
count, operations have been uuimportant The
statistical position continues to steadily i'm
prove. Stocks in Connaps stores decreased
6OS9 tons last week, Several Scotch steel
works will probably be closed after the holi-
days and remain idle until blast furnaces re-
start. Lower prices arc named on rails, but other
forms OF steel are without change. Last weeks
liquidation of old contracts appears to have
cleared of weak holdings OF pig tin, and that
fact coupled with covering of bear sales, has
served to improve the market Prices have ad-
vanced about FL 5s. Stocks are losely con-
trolled and chiefly In strong hands. Still a
rather weakish tone was apparent at the
close,
Prices FOR copper dropped early in the week.
owing to pressure to sell by holders and ma
nipulation by the bear interest, arising from the
unfavorable condition of other markets and
rumors that larger supplies are likely to come
from America at probably lower prices. Con-
sumers are still very cautious buyers but
speculation has improved somewhat the past
few days, sending prices of merchant bars to
s54 spot. s54 los futures. Furnace ma
terial has been selling at low rates.
During the past fortnight there have been
sales of 800 tons of Anaconda matte on private
terms: 200 tons do at los. 41sd.. and 400 tons do
at los. Sd. Smelters are disinclined tofbuy
freely at. the reduced figures. 1t is reported
that the Rio Tinto Company has contracted 10

pyrites containing 3 per cent of copper. En-
glish stock of copper has decreased !, ,4l0 tons,
and the European visible supply I609 tons dur
ing the past fortnight.
There has been a rather large business in tin
plate at the lower rates established last week
and inquiries are more numerous at the present
time, but the demand from the States Is notice.
ably slack. Most of the works are we'll en-
ployed on orders. and some makers refuse to
make any concession from old prices. The
labor dispute at the Glamorgan works has been
adjusted.

NO EFFECT, ON IRON.
The Market Very Dull Despite the
Financial Improvement.
SMALL SALES AT LOW PRICES.
No Business is Looked for Until the Middle
of January.
STATE OF FOREIGN METAL MARKETS


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
NEW YORK, Dec. 18-The Iron Ages
weekly report of the American iron and
metal markets is as follows:
The improvement in the financial situation
is giving general encouragement. but 1t has
not as yet had any effect on the iron trade. In
fact. some of the results of the stringency have
only come TO the surface now in the shape
of occasional forced sales. In nearly every
line the markets have been wofully dull, and
little Improvement is expected until the second
or third week in January.
American Pig-The market has been irregu-
lar, and reports of sales at low prices are
numerous. tbs stated that they are confined
to lots tor immediate delivery, but we have
reason to believe that metal for delivery next
year could be purchased at a concession. 1t Is
known that several lots of Northern iron are
pressed for sale, and there has beer consider
We quote SIG 75@l7 so for No. l, si6@l6 50 for
No. Northern iron. Southern may be quoted
at SIG 5OQl1 for No. foundry: sl5 5O@l6 20 for
No. 2, and Sl4 50@l4 70 for No. 3.
Spiegeleisen and Ferro Mansanese-The mar
ket is lifeless. The rail- mills are understood to
be well supplied with spiegel for some time TO
come SO that S29 50. the rigure at which the last
small sale was made, may remain the nominal
quotation. Ferro is dull at s62@63.
Steel Rails-Aside from small lots sold at S2S.
we hear of no transactions. Rumors of low
eaioo nave. however, Oe6n NUMEROUS enough.
Among them are reports of sales at S27 So and
| even SN. We do not believe them, because the
mills are still working atItheir organization. A
meeting was held IN Philadelphia last week
without leading to any result, the Eastern and
Western mills being represented. This after
noon an adjourned meeting is going on at the
Windsor Hotel in this city.
Billets-The market is very dull. Reports
| from the West continue very disQuleting. 1t
| is evident that a leading concern IN Pittsburg
has been raiding the market. and has taken
every order in sight for delivery during the
| trst quarter of the year at low prices. 1t is
| stated that S26 has been shaded in Pittsburg,
and 1t is rumored that as low as SIS so has been
accepted.
Old Rails-The market is absolutely feature.
less. We have not heard of any transaction OF
| any consequence although old rails are still
| offered at So

LIGHT TRADING.

Seventeen Shares Satisfy the Demand for
Local StOcks-Gains and Losses.
Transactions in local stocks were the smallest
for nearly a month-only Il shares. There
were few buying orders. but plenty to sell No
one wanted to invest. The uncertainty sur
rounding Electric and Philadelphia Gas in the
minds OF many was wet blanket to every
thing else.
Closing prices as compared with those of the
previous Gay show small losses in PHILADELPHIA
Gas, Pleasant Valley and Luster and corre-
spending gains in Central Traction and Elec-
tic. Some of the bank shares were slightly
shaded in the bidding. There were 29 bids and
so offers at the three sessions

THURSDAY, December lS. 1890.

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Very little was doing, at the commission
houses to-day. Only those whose necessities
compel them to do so are venturing out. Trade
is effectually showed under. But there is q
good time coming, and once the highways be-
come passsble the increased trade will, no
doubt, fully compensate for present dullness.
Demand tor fresh eggs is very active, and sup
plies are running low. Potatoes have become
almost luxury, choice stock being retailed at
81 so per bushel, which is about the average
price per barrel in ordinary seasons. The in
creased cost of potatoes has added materially
to household expenses.
