Transactions Few and of Trifing Impor-
tance at Philadelphia.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
PHILADELPHIA, November 2S.-The week
just opened has been one of unusual dullness
in the iron trade. For the present no one
seems to want to buy except to a very limited
extent, and sellers are making no effcrt to
force material on unwilling buyers.
In a general way business has been
done without much change from quoted
rates, but transactions have been so few and of
such tri1ing Importance as 10 be hardly neces-
sary to establish new figures. Pig iron is in
waiting condition, watching new developments,
with verv little present activity. Prices are
practically the same as last week, which Tor
deliveries in buyers yards are IS follows:
Standard Pennsylvania No. i, SIS O0@SlS so;
No. 2. Sl7 OOfDlT 80: medium Pennsylvania. No.

charcoal car wheel iron 50 06@S25 90. Besse-
mer pig is very quiet at SIS O0QSlS so at
furnace. Muck bars are not much in
demand. Quotations range from S29 %
@29 75 delivered. Bar iron is steady with a
general good demand for small lots. Prices
are nominally unchanged at 81 S5@l 80 at inte-
rior points. Skelps are active and prices
steady at from 81 95@2 05, delivered, for
grooved, and 81 1902 20 Tor sheared. Sheet iron

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Twas Nip and Tuck Between Bulls and
Bears Yesterday, With Closing Prices
Slightly Favoring the Bulls
LARGE EARLY Advance

LdFSo EdrJy <tuSdnce.
NEW YORK. November 2S-The stock mar
ker to-day was irregular in its movements and
while showing great strength in spots in the
forenoon. displayed reactionary tendency
later in the day, and the early improvement
was nearly neutralized, leaving prices but little
better as a rule than those of Wednesday
afternoon.
At the opening the bears were inclined to be-
come aggressive the traders following suit,
invited by the comparative quietneSs of the
speculation. In several stocks tho lifting
power was so great that the operation of the
bearish contingent was arrested Immediately.
and one of the sharpest advances seen since
prices reached their lowest point took place.
Sugar had opened OF 2% per cent on the rumor
that a large retiner had refused to deposit his
certificates. but on the denial of the story it
shot up per cent.
Rock Island in conjunction with several
others, was lending at a premium in the stock
loan crowd. IL shot up from 7034 to 75lI fol-
lowed closely by Burlington, the other Grangers
and some specialties. The buying however,
reached the limit quickly and prices began to
sag away before noon, when money stiffened
up the rate on call. rising to s per cent. while
many realizations occurred on the advance of
the forenoon.
The hears again came to the 'front.' and prices
continued to tall all afternoon Lackawanna q
being the special fsTorite IN the selling for
some time. 1t yielded over per cent, and rail-
lied only little over l. The downward move
ment came to an end in the last hour and,
while there were some advances in the last few
minutes, the market closed quiet and only
steady, and most of the list at but slight
changes from the opening prices.
The final changes are generally in the direc-
tion of higher prices, and Sugar is up 23l: Rock
Island. 21s; Burlington, II, and Jersey Central,
1per cent, while the only important decline is
IL in Lackawanna.
Railroad bonds were still fairly active, the
sales of all issues reaching SLOT. 600 though
few issues were specially prominent. The
market was steady almost throughout, and the
final changes are generally Insignificant, with
majority of advances. Richmond and West
Point Trust IS rose to S, and others generally
fractional amounts.
The Post saws: 1t was generally acknowl-
edged that the large advance in prices of stocks.
in the first hour and a half to-day was some
thing of a surprise to people who thought they
had canvassed the whole situation on w ednes-
dav.

ACTING WITH CAUTION.
No Change of Material Consequence in Iron
at Cincinnati.


CIScTSNATI, November 2S.-Rorers Brown
Co. say: The review of the situation week
ago applies very closely to that of to-day. Ex-
treme caution prevails iE all movements. both
on the part of buyers and sellers. Many buy
ers seem to think that the pig iron market, like
the stock market, has no bottom. Those better
Informed, however, know that before the
financial troubles began iron was practically
selling at cost, ard that cost in this country
cannot be further materially reduced. If
money troubles temporarily force lower level
of values there Will be widespread stoppaee
of furnaces that will quickly prepare the way
for an upward movement by heavily reducing
the output.
Some round orders have been placed during
the week, and in one or two cases special terms
were made for immediate delivery and spot
cash Shipments continue to go forward
heavily on old orders. Collections are tairly
good. considering the circumstances Taking
il at large, the iron trade is believed to be in a
sound and healthy condition.
