Country Fredericksburg Prices.
Markets are dull and featureless. Commits
sion men report that there is little doing, and
only the choicest stuff brings quotations. Ap-
Piles are in full supply and shade easier than
they were at our last reports. Poultry supplies
are also better than they have been OF late, and
markets show weakening tendencies Butter,
with the exception Of very fancy, is slow. The
average consumer appears to prefer butterine
to common grades Of butter. Eggs are steady
at prices quoted. Cheese is firm and an early
advance is probable. A good quality Of pota-
toes is in good demand at quotations. But poor
stock, which seems to predominate this season,
is very dull.

BRITISH IRON MARKETS.
An Improvement in Pig, While Steel Re.
mains at Last Weeks Prices.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM To THK DIsPArcH.l
NEW YORK, February 20-The Iron Age to-
day prints the following special cable from
London:
The pig iron warrant market has improved
somewhat Early in the week there was some
selling on the part of disappointed holders
and that, together with anxiety as to whether
settlements would be duly met and one failure,
had bad effect. Prospects Of easier money
rates have tendency to encourage purchases
and give the market better tone. There is also
some Improvement in the trade demand
Makers prices for Scotch brands. Middlesbor-
borough and Hematites are nearly the same az
they were q week ago.
Copper has been in more active demand the
past few days for speculation and consumption.
Stocks are steadily decreasing. Only $50 tons
were received from America during the first
half Of the month, and furnace material is be-
coming scarce. Montana ordinary Matte is
selling at los per unit. The French holders of
Matte have about % 800 tons on hand and sur-
prise is expressed that they do uof realize in
preference to selling bars. During the mast
fortnight there have been sales of LOIS tons
Anaconda Argentiferous on private terms: 4I5
tons Montana at los per unit and 100 tons Mon.
tana at los Sd, all at Liverpool, A large portion
of the warrants placed upon the market by
French bankers ten days ago is now being ab-
sorbed by consumers, but in view of the sharn
fall caused BY the large quantity offered short
time ago, they act with caution in purchasing
for future delivery.
The demand for pig tin has been stronger
and prices are showing more frmness. The
question Of increased production has unsettled
confidence to some extent, but il is believed
that prospective supplies have been over esti-
mated
Actual business in tin plate has been moder-
ate but inquiries are more numerous and the
tone of the market is better. The movement
In the direction OF general shortening of work
at the mills has made no progress and the
scheme to reduce production seems to be dead.
Steel Of nearly 81 descriptions is held at last
weeks figures with the demand fairly active
for bilIets and slabs but slower for rails. Wire
rods are offered at IS under the prices asked a
week ago.
American Manufacturers Cable Quotations
Scotch Pig-Tbere has been a turn for the
better in warrants with sales atnearly 3s ad-
vance during the week, and the buying freer.
Makers iron has had better sale also and the
market is quite steady at the revised prices.

say it is only few bear brokers who are doing

they are certainly keeping people who have
money from speculating. and until such time
as the bears let up, no change can be looked
for,

DULL In CINCINNATI.

Consumers Display No Anxiety, Having
Secured some Concessions.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH-l
CINCINNATI, February 2O-Thus far during
the present week the local market for pig iron
has been dull; there has been less pressure to
sell iron held in second hands and furnaces
have offered no further inducements to buyers.
Consumers, however, display no anxiety: hay-
ing secured some concessions they expect
greater inducements. Indications of a revival
in industrial branches dependent upon iron
however, impart feeling Of confidence to buy
ers and sellers Of pig alike. The Strong Engine
Company have taken Office room in the Cham
Der of Commerce building and the plant will
be located soon. The increased mercantile and
industrial activity, present and prospective has
made a decided impression upon the money
market; interest rates are higher and still hard
ening. Small sales of old wheels have been
made at SIG and Southern rails at $28, cash
basis.

A BOOM IN STOCKS.
Brokers Show What They Can Do When
They Hustle.

Brokers Show What They Can Do When
They Hustle.
Stock trading yesterday was the liveIiest and
heaviest for long time. At the morning ses-
sion, lasting 81 minutes, the transactions aggre-
gated 875 shares. Business in the afternoon
was good, but not so heavy. Whether the spurt
was to show the President of the United States
what Pittsburg brokers can do when they try.
or merely to get the market out of the rut, is
open to debate; but whether that or this be
true the activity displayed was as surprising as
it was welcome. Total sales were 1891 shares
Realizing was the order of the day, in which
Pleasant Valley was most conspicuous. The
first sale was at 25; it moved up by easy stages
to 26, eased of and closed at 25h bid. Sellers
realized large profits, about 81 a share, which
was their only reason for letting 1t go. Buyers,
of course, expect it to go still higher. Allie
gheny Heating Company advanced to 104 bid
without bringing any of it out Philadelphia
Gas was firm, with very little offered. Central
Traction was hammered down to 297k, but Pitts
burg was fractionally stronger. Pipeage, Man
ufacturers' Gas and Luster were fractionally
weaker. and CHARTERS Gas a triie stronger.
