In iron and steel the drift Of markets is
still downward, and prices are now close to
hardpan. Prices are lower than they were
previous to the rise of last fall. when the in
creased cost of making 10 taken into consid-
Grafton. One of our leading brokers said:
"I feel that we are now close to bottom,
and that any future changes must be toward
higher prices.
Transactions are still light, owing to the
fact that consumers are disposed to pursue
the hand-to-mouth policy in the present
condition of markets. When markets are
active and prices are moving upward, as
was the case last fall, consumers are in
Clined to buy freely, and heavy stocks were
laid in on the advancing markets. Now that
the tide has turned, consumers buy sparingly
and will do until they are convinced tnat
bottom is reached 1t now looks IS IL prices
were down to bottom, and that future changes
will be toward a higher level.
Steel rails and wire nails are lower tnan Ihey

was weak at the close, which was at the lowest
point for the second time during the week
The extreme fluctuations were: Opening, S4a4
highest S41s; lowest and closing, S4ss. The de-
preston was due to bearish field news. Thurs
days clearances were 478 600 barrels
Ihe Shannopip field has turned out another
gusher 1t is on the Ferguson farm. Latest
news from it yesterday evening reported 1t as as
DOING at the rate anywhere from 900 to l,OOO
barrels a day.
Reports from the Wildwood well were con-
nicting. Some authorities estimated the out
put as high as 400 barrels; others put it as low
as 20. That 1t has fallen off seems certain.
Discouraging reports come from the Hundred
root district. McCfung & Co.'S well, on the
Graham heirs farm, has dropped from 20 bar
rels an hour to 10 a day. and the Humphrey
farm well OF Hazlett & Co. has played out COM
pletely, salt water being the only thing 1t is pro-
duclng. Tillev d Co.'S well on the Downing
farm, at Millerstown. has come in at 40 barrels
day, but the Craig & Co. we'll on the Samuel
Staples farm, at Gallery Junction. that was put
down as 100 barrel producer, is only doing 10
barrels day.
The well on the Judge Over farm at Hayesville
gives evidence of being good one. Ii made

possible to tell just yet what the production Is.
The Ohio Valley Gas Company is one of the
largest owners. There are 16 rigs up across the
river opposite this well.

PROFITS on SOUTHERN PIG.
The Shippers Made $4,000 on the 5000
Tons shipped 10 PtItsburE.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPkrcHI
PHILADELPHIA, March 2s.-Upon the recent
shipment of 5000 tons of pig iron from Shelf
field, Ala, to Pittsburg by water, the shippers
realized a profit of S3OOOO. The freight by
boat was but 81 90 per ton. A new schedule of
water and rail rates, BY way of Savannah and
the ocean, has been promulgated, and by this
route the rate from Sheffield to Philadelphia is
81 36 per ton with 40 cents additional for an all
rail rate Fifty cents per son would
bring iron from Pittsburg to Philadelphia,
making the total, by way OF Pittsburg
from Sheffield not to exceed g so per ton
With a profit of S6 per ton as margin TO work
upon it is thus very probable that Southern
pig iron will find its way INTO this market by
way Of Pittsburg. 1t is merely question of
demand and supply so far as the Southern
furnaces are concerned. If the markets in the
West South and Southwest take all the iron
that the Southern furnaces can produce they
will not encroach upon Eastern territory, but
when the demand from nearby markets is light
they will send their products freely to Boston,
New York and Philadelphia.
Being asked why pig iron can be made
cheaper in the South than in the North, a
Southern manufacturer explained that less ore
was required to produce ton Of Southern pig,
and consequently less labor, coke and lime
stone were utilized. 1t is apprehension, re-
garding the competition from the South, that
iron producers fear at this time. and there is
more disposition to shade prices than has been
manifested this year. Buyers are reluctant to
pay more than SIG. els and Sl7 for the three
standard grades, and deliveries have been made
at Is cents per ton above these figures
There is a good inquiry for BesSemer at $40 10,
but stock is well sold up at Is and 80 cents
above SO 90 for round lois and high grades are
quoted at SIS so and SIG co. Steel rails are active
at S34 80 and S35 90. Billets and slabs are I'M
settled at $50 90 and $50 so. Blooms are moving
slowly at So 90 and S53 90 per. bloom ton tor hot
blast charcoal. Muck bars are irregular but
moving chiefly az $50 so per ton. Bar iron is
active at LIS and 1851 per pound. Skelp is in
fair request at LS25% and LS5 for
grooved and 200 and 30 for sheared. Plates
are quiet and prices for iron ard steel
respectively being go and 225 and go and
26O for tank; rs and go for bridge plates,
240 and go and $50 and 800 for shell; BIS
and 225 and 3l0 and 800 for 1ange and ais

iron well employed. Quotations are s. 20

In A BUSINESS WAY.
Another Big Office Building to be
Erected on Third Avenue.
A HUGE GOBBLE OF COAL LANDS.
An East End Citizen Hauls the Street
Authorities Over the Goals.
DICKER FOR A MANUFACTURING SITE.

Mr.. E. NJ. Ferguson, of the NJ. & M.
National Bank, is making preparations to
put up si1-story building on the Third
avenue lot recently purchased by him. The
upper floors will be used for offices. Mr..
Ferguson has been negotiating for property
to give him an outlet to Fourth avenue, but
so far without success.
Negotiations are pending for tract of
about five acres of ground near Edgewood
as site for large manufacturing plant,
for which it is admirably adapted, being
convenient to the railroad. One of the
gentlemen interested in the deal was seen
yesterday, but refused to give particulars
He admitted, however. that the prospects of
the deal going through were favorable. 1t
is rumored that one Of the national gas COM
panies is backing up the enterprise
In reply to the complaint that many streets
are opened and left unpaved for an unreason-
able length of time, gentleman who resides
in the East End said yesterday: THE fault is
not in all cases with the people. Here is an in
stance: An ordinance was passed by Councils
last January directing the authorities to adver-
tise for proposals for paving the street on which
live, but SO far this has not been done. The
advertisement has not appeared. The delay is
causing considerable feeling among the people
who are ready and anxious to pay Tor the i'm
provement. The excuse for keeping back the
advertisement is that the city has SO much of
this kind of work on hand that all of it cannot
be attended to at once. This does not satisfy
the people. however, who think the work should
60 forward as directed by Councils. 1t is prob
able that some pressure will be used to hurry
things up"
A citizen of Scottdale was in the city yester-
day and confirmed the report Of the sale of 2 900
acres of coal land in Somerset county to a
party of Eastern capitalists. He was unable to
give the price paid but said those who knew
regarded it as very low. The coal is said to be
as good as the Connellsville product. The pur-
chasers will build a large number of ovens at
once, and enter upon the manufacture Of coke
on large scale.
Another trust has been formed. A local
dealer in whips said yesterday that he had been
informed by circular that whip manufacturers
of Westheld, Mass, and other centers of that
industry in the East had combined to control
prices and reduce expenses. The capital of the
combine is 5000 The principal Office will be
in New York. 1t is proposed to gather in all
the principal whip companies of the country.
The immediate result will be an advance in
prices.

A VERY DULL DAY.
The Cyclone is Used rs an Argument to
Force Down Quotations in the Stock
Market - some Depression
Tr R,fI

in Rafirond Bonds.
NEW YORK, March 2S-To-day in the stock
market was the dullest of dull week, and
while there was the greatest indispositlon to
trade on either side of the account. the advo-
Gates of lower figures, encouraged by the disas-
tiers reported this morning, were enabled to
force off prices small fractions, and in some
few specialties material losses we're sustained.
The market at present, notwithstanding the
aggregation of favorable influences, is SO
narrow that neither bulls nor bears are able to
make demonstrations with any satisfactory re-
suits. The strength in sterling exchange added
to the feeling of depression somewhat
The dealings to-day furnished little ground
for comment, but the disasters reported this
morning gave bearish tinge to the feeling in
the street and almost everything opened dull.
Louisville and Nashville, Louisville, New Al
bany and Chicago, as was natural, showed the
greatest losses. The downward movement in
the unusual dullBess of the first hour went but
tile farther, and an improvement was soon in
augurated under the lead of Missouri Pacific
and Sugar Retner1es. The upward movement
was entirely insignificant, and dullness and
stagnation ruled for the remainder of the day
up to the last hour.
The payment of the dividend on the Chicago
Gas by the Fidelity Trust Company. caused
great deal of talk, but no apparent effect upon
the stock was made by it. The usual dividend

off slightly. Late in the day the old stories Of
a new issue Of bonds on the Erie were circu-
lated, and accompanied by vigorous on
siaught upon the stock and the second consos,
both of which yielded, and the latter nateri-
ally. The close of the market was dull and
stagnant at something under first prices, as
rule. The only important losses were Tennes-
see Coal 2L and Colorado Coal 49,
Railroad bonds were dull again, and fed the
prevailing feeling of depression, though the re-
suit generally was TO limit fluctuations, as well
as the amount of business done. The sales
reached only $4,000. and the changes of i'm
portance are few in number.
Government bonds have been dull and firm.
State bonds have been dull, but without
feature.

Hot blast coke and charcoal:
The New Furnace Boom Has wIIted.


CINCINNATI, March 2-Rogers Brown &
Co. say: A good deal of interest has centered
in the movements of the iron market during
the week. Inquiries tor round lots have been
numerous, and very respectable tonnage has
been added to furnace order books. Well-in-
formed buyers appreciate the latest prices of
Southern irons are abnormally low and liable
at any moment to react TO figures in keeping
with the general market throughout the coun-
try. Nothing can prevent this except a general
trade depression and wholesale abandonment
of new railroad and industrial enterprises
planned for this year. The position Of North
ern furnaces depending upon Lake Superior
ores and Connellsville coke is not altogether
pleasant as no one looks for an early decline in
those basis elements of cost. 1t is strongly be-
Sieved that the situation will right itself as the
spring opens and that with the usual mid
summer huying movement setting in in April
and MAY we shall see prices firmer and better
feeling ali around. The crop of new furnace
enterprises has been ruthlessly nipped by the
dIscouraglng market. Ohio softeners and
charcoal irons still remain firm, and are moved
readily under a free demand.

Business Notes,

STOCK of the Sterling Silver Mining Com
pany has been placed on the regular list Of the
Pittsburg Exchange.
THE opinion was quite generally expressed
yesterday that the catastrophe at Louisville
will have an adverse effect upon the speculative
markets.
WORK will soon be resumed on California
avenue, the question of damages and benefits
having been practically settled. 1t will open
up fine territory.
DIRECTORS of the Petroleum Exchange will
decide to-day whether corn or options shall be
given precedence in the trading. Many think
q change would increase the outside support
STOCKHOLDERS of the P1ttsburg, Allegheny
and Manchester Railway will hold a meeting
May 20 for reorganization. The question of
motive power will probably be settled at that
time.
THE gentleman who had the contract for re-
moving the cannon from the Arsenal to the
South at the beginning of the war is engaged
in the banking business in this city. He is sur
charged with "reminiscences of that stirring
time.

CHICAGO, March 2S-Rogers. Brown Co.,
say: There is very lively retail business in
pig iron and some nibbling at round lots, but
the turn in the market has not come and buyers
still favor the policy of staying out as long as
they can. 1t is noted that what demand there
is Is mostly for quick deliveries, SO quick in
deed, that few furnaces are in shape to meet it
promptly enough, and considerable inconveni-
ence and complaint are the result The new
prices OF Southern iron are lower than local
furnaces have been disposed TO get to, and as
q result business turns more toward the South.

HE DEFENDED ROYALTY.
Striking Incident in the Career of the Iron
Chancellor.

In 1880 when the tide of political passion
was still running very high, says a writer in
the New York Herald, Bismarck went one
day into tavern at Berlin to axe a glass
of beer. A man near him, feeling himself
supported by the presence of his friends,
began to abuse a member of the royal
family.
Bismarck looked at him, and said quiet
ly, eff you have not left this room before
have finished nv beer I'll break this pot
over your head" He then emptied his
glass very deliberately, and as the man took
no heed of the warning he did as he had
threatened. He went up to the fellow and
knocked him about the head with the pot
till he fell bowling on the ground. Bis
marck then asked the waiter. How much
for the gIass?" and having paid for it he
walked away leisurely without anyone hav-
ing dared to modest him.
