HITCHES ALL AROUND.
Stock Trading Below Zero, With Gains and
Losses About Even.

Considerable effort was made to market local
stocks yesterday, and bids and offers for the
most part were reasonably close together, but
there was hitch in almost everything, which
curtailed business to 20 shares 10 each of
Pleasant Valley and Citizens Insurance. There
were no special features. and gains and losses
in all cases small fractions-were about evenly
divided.
The report thar the Duquesne Traction Com
pany had sold out body and breeches to the
Pittsburg Traction Company was the occasion
of some talk on Change, where it was declared
the biggest canard of the season, there being
no foundation whatever for the story.

PRICES LOWER ABROAD.
Nearly Every Department of Metal Industry
Affected by the Decline.


.srECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHI
LONDON, April 17.-There has been a further
serious decline in prices of warrants due to
heavy realizations on the part of holders
Scotch sold down Tuesday ASS I'd and closed ass
lid. Middlesborough dropped to 45s I'd and
Hematltes to 54s Id. To-day there were sales
at 4Gs for Scotch, 46s for Middlesborough and
54s I'd for Hematites. Cleveland brought a
heavy premium over Scotch for a time, owing
to a temporary scarcity OF warrants for prompt
delivery, but subsequent sales afforded an
abundant supply. Makers irons are very
unsettled all through. Scotch brands are quoted
down l@5d: Middlesborough, 5Q6d; Bessemer
about the same, and Spiegeliseu Sd from last
weeks figures. 1u tin plates there has been a
small business, and prices are still very weak.
Ordinary cokes have been sold as low as lbs Sd,
or within Is of the lowest price on record. The
trade seems to be in a bad state at the present
time. Copper has been affected by the depres-
sion prevailing in the general metal trade, and
the business in merchant bars is slow. Con-
sumers are buying other sorts than Chilli bars,
owing to slack deliveries of the latter. The
large quantities held oy outside French finan-
ciers is being absorbed. Large holders will not
sell below 80 pounds
The Tharsis Copper Company has declared
dividend of 20 per cent. The profits for the
year were stated as f249OOO At the meeting of
the Libiola Company poor results were shown
for the last year, and dividend of only l-6 per
cent per share was declared. The directors ex-
pressed hope in the future. Pig tin has had
slow sale for consumption owing To the inactiv-
ity in the tin plate trade. The dullness in that
department has led to speculative liquidation,
which. with bear" pressure, has caused sharp
decline in prices. All descriptions of steel rails
are again quoted lower. Billets, blooms and
slabs are offered s. down, and wire rods at &c
decline. Old material has moved in sympathy
with other articles, and are offered about 7.6
cheaper to-day than a week ago.
American Manufacturers Cable Quotations. .

THE PAINTERS STRIKE.
No Change in the Situation Today-The
Work on the White House.

There was nothing new regarding the
painters strike today. The situation is prac-
tieally unchanged. few Of the so-called
''scabs" are coming to the city and are at
work. The non-union men are still working
on the White House. The men are watching
for all new corners, to get them into the as
sembly if possible.
Secretary Denhsm of Local Assembly No.
1913, X. of L., said this morning that there
seemed to be a Misunderstanding about the
strike. He explained that it was not an in
crease Of wages that was wanted, but shorter
days work. They want that so that more men
will be employed. If the eight-hour day Is
granted it will result in giving work to an
extra man to every eight men employed.
Tonight is the regular meeting night Of the
painters assembly and there viii! also be an
adjourned meeting of the District Assembly. at
which ii is thought the strike of the painters
will be Endorsed.
MR.. MILSE's MEN.
Mr.. Alex. Milne writes to The STAR: Refer
ring to labor item in your issue Of the 18th
instant, which stated that I had ''acceded to
the demands of the assembly and that the men
under me went to work on the eight-hour
schedule" would state that have only one
man "a fresco painter) in the Woodward Il
LothroI building working eight hours. The
rest, also fresco painters, are working nine
hours"

TO BE SWEPT DAILY.
Superintendent Arnold Revises the
Street Sweeping Schedule.

The Commissioners today received from
Superintendent Arnold of the street and alley
cleaning department new street and alley
cleaning schedule. The principal change is
made in the heart of the city, where number
Of streets have been added to the list Of those
swept daily.
In other sections Of the city the new schedule
proposes an increase of service. The increase
IN the heart OF the city is not only made neces-
sary by the increase of traffic, says Superin-
tendent Arnold, but is also warranted by the
falling leaves at this season of the year.
1t IL proposed to continue the service as per
the schedules presented up to December
next and to reduce the same during the winter
months, IN order to keep within the limit of
the appropriation for the present fiscal year.
The schedules have been submitted to the
computing engineer for yerifcation as to the
areas.
Six different schedules we're presented The
following list shows the streets recommended
to be swept every day, while the other sched-
ules name the streets IN other parts Of the city
