A SETTLING PROCESS.
The Real Rensou for The Present Iron and
Steel Situation.

Steel Situation.
rsPEc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcHi
PHILADELPHIA, May 9.-During the last
three months the iron market has been under
going settling process. An unnatural stimulus
was given to it by purchases for speculative ac-
count and the buying for this purpose was not
confined to pig metal but was for manufact-
ured iron as we'll The liquidation of specula-
tive holdings has been an obstacle which man.
ufacturers have had to face, and it is not yet
entirely overcome. When the reaction came
the manufacturers were caught with contracts
for material at high prices, and that makes
them unusually timid about new negotiations
Il is very probable that the close of the present
quarter Will hnd a good many furnaces out of
stock up is so discouraging to the furnace men
that material restriction in the output of pig
metal is likely to follow.
Inquiries for steel rails keep coming from
points in the far West, from which the deduc-
tion is made that Western mills must be busy
and Indifferent about Shading prices to meet
the wishes of new customers. No large orders
are reported closed, but business in small
way is doing at S3S per ton at the mill. No. l
foundry iron delivered at tide is quoted at
SIS 50 per ton; No. at sl7@l7 so, and gray

IRON TRADE REVIEW.
The Promised Boom Has Yet Failed
to Make Its Appearance.
EVEN PRESENT PRICES SHADED
By Those Who Are Anxious to Decrease the
Stock on Hand.
OTHER MARKETS IN THE SAME STATE

The market gives no signs Of improve
ment. Prices of last week are scarcely
maintained. There are rumors that Besse-
mer has been sold a shade below our quota
tions, but they can hardly be called authen-
tic. A leading iron broker reported to-day
that he had sold nothing below Sl7 So
The truth is, however, the market is weak
at this figure, and there is little doubt that
the cash customer would find holders ready to
shade a little.
Our quotations on mill and foundry irons are
again reduced in accordance with the facts of
the case. Nails and rails share in the downward
drift of all iron and steel products.
Whether are not prices are down to bed rock
is a question which dealers decide according to
their point of view Last year the upward
movement did not start until September.
If 1t is as long delayed this season producers
who are not well grounded will find it all they
can do TO keep their heads above water. At
present cost of raw materials the plant which
can produce iron at profit must enjoy special
advantages.

Bad Crop News md Fenrs of

PARK NnnL

CHICAGO-Trading in wheat was again yery
large to-day. and the feeling was unsettled and
nervous. Prices we're higher all around and
for the deferred futures touched a higher
point than has yet been reached on the recent
up-turn. Bad crop news, which was the prime
cause Of the 1rmness yesterday, was the cause
for the further advance to-day, and the short
interest covered freely.
The opening for July was 2G21Ic higher than
yesterdays closing. advanced after some fluc-
tuations &c more, then declined 2skc, ruled

May and no easy matter to trade in June.
parties not caring to make any trades and dis
posed to close up old ones. The Illinois crop
report did much toward advancing the market
Some bad crop reports were also received from
Kansas, and the Northwest reported no rain
there.
1t was not altogether bad crop prospects
which caused the nervousness and excitement
which prevailed, but, no doubt, fear of a
squeeze on account of meager stocks and light
receipts. The situation was not an inviting
one to short sellers, however strong their belief
that speculation is carrying the market too
high.
There was good trade in corn, prices being
very irregular within a range of sz@lc. The
feeling on the opening was wild and unsteady
but irmer, but soon ruled weaker and quickly
declined. There was no new feature presented
and prices were governed to great extent by
local influences early, and later by the free
selling for country account prices were
strengl hened. The market opened at about &c

mainly in July, but under the free offerings De-

STOCKS PICKING UP.

An Active Market and Generally Better
Prices-EIectric nm Exception.
The stock market yesterday was the best Of
the week, and the interest was sustained
throughout the day. Sales were 7S1 shares, and
included wider range of securities than usual
The feature Of most interest, perhaps. was q
break in Westinghouse Electric in the after
noon to 40, with nobody to buy it. Prospect Of
renewed litigation and talk of combines were
given as the source of weakness.
There was better feeling in Philadelphia
Gas. Pleasant Valley was decidedly stronger,
as was also Switch and Signal. Pittsburg Trac-
tion advanced in the afternoon, but Citizens
lost ground. Bridgewater improved fraction,
but CHARTERS was trif1e weaker.
Even the mining stocks felt the stimulus of
the revival in activity. and La Noria was both
active and stronger. This was probably due to
the change allowing quotations in cents on
these stocks.

The local money market was quiet and easy
yesterday. The absence of new features is re-
garded as evidence of a healthy condition.
Money is well employed for the season, as
shown by the fact that several of the city banks
are well loaned up and others are exercising
close discrimination between business and
wildcat paper Rates were steady at oCgT per

Exchanges declined to s2,l2l, 24S II, all the

the opinion of bank officer. TO the fact that
large part of the business of the city is done on
the basis of spot cash. and easy collections, en-
abling merchants and manufacturers to get
along without constant recourse to the banks
Another reason assigned was that cash de-

GREASE IN THE KENDALL WELL.
Old Middletown Comes to the Front Again
in n Modest Way.


Coraopolis people were treated to another
sensation yesterday. The field displays the
characteristics dominating much territory in
this section. Most people had banked more
strongly on the well in Squire Ferrees'
orchard, and the one on Alfred McCabe's land,
than on the Kendall and the latter put out salt
water at q rate that drowned all hopes of sue
cess for several days, but night before last the
food was checked. and little further punch
ing changed it to oil.
The news spaad rapidly, and early yesterday
morning the town turned out to see the well
perform. She is pumping at the rate of % bar
rels day, but just what she may do is not
known, as she is not yet fully opened for busi-
ness. This was the furthest venture north
west and was regarded with interest as an in
dicator The show was considered good enough
to make the building of tanks necessity. The
well is full of oil with an oil saver on the
casing and all combustion in the vicinity ex-
tinguished. The hole is but little over 1,800
feet deep.
There vas nothing of note developed at For
est Grove or at CHARTERS yesterday. The
Young well is still making over 900 barrels a
day.
The Shanks well on Neville Island Is con-
sidered good for 80 barrels since the shooting.

THE DAY IN OIL.
Market Firm, With Some Lively Jumping In
Figures-Field Notes.

FIgufeB-E1eId Notes.
Trading in oil was not particularly heavy yes
terday, but the fluctuations were wider, and the
feeling better than for some time. The market
opened steady. and soon advanced on local and
Oil City buying. 1t then sagged. but later re-
ceived sufhciene support to cause a rally to the
highest point of the day. and was firm at the
close. which was cent better than the opening
The range was: Opening. SAC; highest. S5c;
lowest, S31sc; closing, S5c; Thursdays clear
ances were l74 900 barrels
Nothing of Importance was received from the
field The well of Galley Brothers, on the lower
end of Neville Island, is in, and will make about
a 30barrel producer. The Gray farm well No.
!, at Leetsdale. is making about 100 barrels
day, and the No. 2 15 The Hoffman well, in
the Westview field. is dong little over 100
barrels day. Many of the wells in the Hun
dred-foot district are showing lack of staying
properties.

John GoebeI, OF Philadelphia, and Maud

they could not get license there, as the
girl didn't reside in Ohio, so they stepped
across the bridge to Covington, KY, where
they secured license and were made one.

He will suggest to the Department the adyisa- bllity of fencing m 40 acres with barbed wire fence; eXcavating the de- byis within the walls and rooms of the building; drlcking around the outside walls and, when the excavation Is com pleted, Ee will advise that heavy tim- bers be erected at each inside corner of the center room, as a support for raiters for corrugated iron roof to project six feet beyond the walls of tue edlice. This, he thinks, will pro. tect from any further erosion from storms and at the same time it wiil not hide the view of the structure, nor mar its appearance.-i'lorence Enter prise.
