The spread between December and May at the
close was SIC.
There was no noticeable change in the price
of corn for May delivery near the opening, but
it became strong later when wheat first started

IRON TRADE REVIEW.
No Change for the Better Noticeable
in the Local Market.
COKE CLAIMED TO BE TOO HIGH
To Suit the Depressed Condition of the
General Trade.
REPORTS FROM THE LEADING CENTERS

There is no change for the better in the
iron and steel situation the past week. II
any difference, markets are weaker Mahon-
ing and Shenango valley furnacemen are
seriously considering the propriety of shut
ting down for season, on account of high
freights and coke. 1t claimed that coke at
8 10 per ton is entirely too high in present
depressed condition of iron markets. Said
one of our leading iron brokers yesterday:
"If coke men do not come down, and freights
on railroads are not reduced the producers OF
raw iron will be compelled to stop, as there
are now no margins OF profit lett
10 them. While furnacemen are reaplng
little, if any, profit at present price OF
pig iron, coke manufacturers are
gathering in nice dividends. Prospects are
that there will be stoppage OF many iur-
naces in the Pittsburg region unless rail-
roads and coke manufacturers lower prices.
Prices of grey forge and Bessemer irons
stand as last week, but there is undoubtedly
some cutting going on by holders whose
necessities compel them so to do.
The tightness of money has forced con-
cessions from furnacemen who are not fore
handed, and we'll authenticated rumors in
dictate that grey forge iron has sold shade
below SIS within a few days. Steel rails
and nails are quiet with no marked change
in prices. The situation shows weakness all
along the line of iron and steel products,
and there is little likelihood of improve
ment until after the turn o! the year.

MODERATE TRADING.


Stocks Dominated by Bearish Influences
Business Troubles From Local Causes.
The stock market was comparatively dull
yesterday. The only interests dealt in were
Electric, Pleasant Valley and Philadelphia
Gas-all of which were weaker, Electric going
below zero and Philadelphia dropping back to
the lowest point reached by it during the slump
OF lastweek. The rest of the list was practi-
caily unchanged. The paucity of bids showed
that buying orders were scarce.
The bank failure at Meadville was discussed
to some extent by the brokers, and it, no doubt,
had some effect on values. but there was no ex-
citement over the misfortune. and no one
seemed to entertain the least fear that it would
involve other interests. One of the brokers re-
marked: while we can't ignore an event of
this kind we should take philosophic view of
it. There must have been sufficient cause for
the failure or it would not have happened
Whatever the cause was. it was local, not gen.
eral. These are the best times the country has
had for years, but here and there weak spots
come to the surface and somebody goes to the
wall This has always been the case and always
will be. There are various reasons for these
troubles, which will readily occur to all intel
ligent persons, and they should not be charged
up against the general business situation, which
is all right"
No one questioned the stability of Pittsburg's 8
nnancial institutions, nor the inherent strength
of her multifariouS activities

IN SOLID CONDITION.
Prices Rule Low, With Small Stocks and
No Expansion Attempted.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHI
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 5-The events of the
past week have not been of a very encouraging
character as regards the iron trade Money
continues to be stringent as to time loans, and
the financial horizon is still downcast with
clouds OF doubt and uncertainty. The iron
trade is reported to be in an unusually
solid condition, with prices low and stocks
small and without undue expansion or
extension anywhere. For the present new bus
mess is of a very limited character. Pig iron
is SO dull that there is practically no regular
market and no regular prices. Meanwhile the
ordinary asking prices for lots delivered in
consumers wards are about follows: Stand
ard Pennsylvania No. i. SlSGlS 25; No. 2
sl7dl7 50 and No. . sl66l6 25: ordinary
forge cinde, mixed Sl3 75ql4 so, and
has no prices that are based on actual sales. but
nominal rates are about SIS at furnace. Muck
blrs are quiet. with very little inquiry. The
sales that have been made were at S29 de-
livered. Bar iron is fairly steady, with the mills
in condition to keep well employed for the bal
ance of the year.
The quotations for December delivery are
l.S5Gl9Oc at city and nearby mills, and those
further away quote from L.15GlSOc f. o. b.

feeling is somewhat easier. Sales of

SEEMED LIKE A MIRACLE.
How a Batch of Bread Was Nicely Baked
Despite Inadequate Fuel.

How a Batch of Bread Was Nicely Baked
Despite Inadequate Fuel.
A rather remarkable thing in connection
with tina short gas supply happened to a
lady on Eighth avenue yesterday afternoon
that is worth relating, says the Beaver Falls
Tribune.
The lady had made everything ready to do
her regular weekly baking, and, finding
that the supply of gas was entirely inad-
eqnate, got big supply Of wood on hand
to help out the meagre supply OF the volatile
fluid, but 10! and behold when the loaves
were put in the oven the gas came on with
great pressure, heated up the stove and
baked the bread to perfection. 1t then died
away again to the usual pressure. No valve
was turned, nothing but gas was used, and
the lady cannot account for the strange
freak, but eight nicely baked loaves of bread
and the lady's word attest to the fact that
such a thing did happen. Was ita miracle?
Ii so, turn on your miracles every bake
day and week day, especially at meal times.

The price then started on the down grade gen.

and the momentum when it neared 99c was such
as to send it down TO 9S3zc with a crash. The
trurh of the reported bank failure was denied
at this juncture, which caused sudden reac-

renewed neayiness. and the closing price was
