IRON TRADE REVIEW.
No Signs of a Change Yet to be
Noted in the Local Market.
TRANSACTIONS ARE STILL LIGHT,
Although Holders of Standard Brands Are
Not Ready to Weaken.
REPORTS FROM TIE LEADING cEETERS

There are no signs of Improvement in raw
iron market, but the reverse. Transactions
have been light the past week, and while
holders of standard brands show no inclina-
tiOn to concede, it is evident that markets
have weakened the past week. Prospects
o. revival are very dim, and prices are sure
to remain as they now are till after the
holidays. The demand for finished iron has
declined the past week, but manufacturers
still report fairly active trade. Consider
ing the dull market for raw irons, finished
products are holding up unusually well,
but nails are nominally the same as at last
reports. and wire nails are lower. as our quota
tions will disclose.
Steel rails are SLOW at last weeks prices Or
ders at the Edgar Thomson are more nearly
worked up than they have been for years.
Prices are nominally unchanged, and while
there has been a drop of about s6 per ton In the
past year. the cash order at even lower figures
than our quotations would, no doubt be hon
ored.
Blooms and billets have weakened the past
lew days, and there are rumors of sales below
our quotations. Structural iron is also weaker,
as is its custom at this season of the year. The
financial strngency has, no doub bt had much to
do with the weakness of iron markets.

The latter class of trade proved the most per-

masters of the situation. The price near the
opening had reached 81. at which there were
few sales before the reaction took place, and
after selling quite freely at $3.50 Tor Few
minutes, there was a long period OF dullness,
during which there was scarcely any change IN
the price.
After the hour of dullness lively trade sue
ceeded, and beside good buying for long ac-
count the shorts refused to be outdone in . de-
sire to have some of the offering, so under such
circumstances the advance was rapid until the
price was once more 81 per bushel and more
gradual but with only slight reactions, while
it made further gain of Kc- Trading was
brisk, and the holidays seemed considerably

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-THE iron trade,

made in most Others. providing there was any
demand to make it worth while. The near ap-
proach of the holidays and tine continued un-

Considerable business was transacted in local
stocks yesterday, total sales footing up l,O20
shares, over 700 of which were Electric. At the
opening there were symptoms of an advance,
and first figures were reassuring, but later on
the bears got in their work. and prices of some
of the leaders were shaded. Concessions were
made in Philadelphia Gas Pleasant Valley and
Electric.
The latter opened fairly steady. but almost
Immediately started down-uil, and kept on
losing ground until the close, which was at the
lowest point of the day, and nearly point be-
low the opening. 1t thus appears that the new
deal of the company fails to satisfy holders OF
the stock.
As an offset TO this it was SEATED that the work
of raising funds to help the company out OF its
difficulty is an assured success. This should
check the decline. The high prices paid for
bank stocks at the auction sale seemed to para
lyze the room traders, as there were neither
bids nor offers.

say: The market continues dull and heavy, in
sympathy with the general financial situation.
Buyers are slow to make engagements beyond
their actual current needs until they can see
their way more clear in the future.
The furnace companies have the same feeling
and 10 not desire to make contracts ahead at
present prices. Business Is, therefore, of the
Birmingham district is unchanged The strike
continues and six or eight furnaces had stopped
at last accounts, and others would stop soon.
Consumption keeps up better than would
naturally lie expected under circumstances as
now existing. Most of the foundries and mills
are employed. Some of them have followed
the hand-to-mouth policy SO CLOSELY as to run
entirely out Of iron and be forced to stop tenn
poraTiy tor supplies.

THEY VETOED THE TRUST.
Why Barbed Wire Manufacturers Failed to
Combine at Chicago.

Combine at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-The reason why the
barbed wire manufacturers, at their meeting
here this week, did not form trust is re-
vealed by Mr.. Wellington. of the Wash
burn & Moen Manu- acturIng Company.
He said: IS me OF the firms which manu-
facture barbed wire under the patents OF our
firm sought to evade paying a royalty OF 5
cents per 100 pounds, but were enjoined.
They then tried to form a combination and
thus get control'of the patents, but they
failed.
"Our firm has sued out injunctions against
all of these concerns, and we intend to crowd
them out of the business or force them to
pay license. We do not desire to raise the
price OF barbed wire, as we are making
plenty OF money at the present rates.

lar passenger trains. The Chicago and At

This was satisfactory, and contract was
signed for the party at that rate. This
morning the Monon flashed 50 rate for the

SMALL ORDERS THE RULE,
The Unsettled Financial Feeling Still Affect

CHICAGO, Dec. l2-Rogers. Brown & Mer.
win say: Little has happened during the past
week to materially change the condition of the
market as last reported. The unsettled feeling
in financial circles still influences buyers toward
conservatism IN placing orders. The coal
miners strike in the Birmingham district has
caused the banking or blowing out of a number
of furnaces and will therefore materially re-
duce the output of Southern iron.
A far number of small orders are being
placed Prices remain unchanged except in a
few instances, where holders of iron are COM
PEELED to close out in order to realize funds
