IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Some Lines SOftening, but Standard
Brands Are Strong in Tone.
STORIES OF CUTTING MAGNIFIED.
No Real Change in the Situation at st.
Louis and Cincinnati.
TIE FEATURES OF THE OTHER MARKETS

The transactions of the past week have
been light, and if there has been any change
in prices it has been toward lower level.
Gray forge and Bessemer irons show soften
ing tendencies and there is some shading on
quotations BY holders anxious to realize.
Holders of standard brands are, however,
firm in their views, and while trade is light,
as it always is at this season OF the year,
there are no signs in sight OF reaction to
the recent boom. Consumers stocked up
well in the latter part of last year and there
is no necessity as yet to buy heavily. The
present policy of consumers is the hand-to-
mouth policy, and until the large stocks
laid up in December are used up there is no
probability OF any change for the better.
There has been a slight decline of neutral
mill iron and Bessemer since the beginning of
the year. On the other hand. foundry irons are
a shade higher.
Nails are dull but unchanged. There is
strong undertone of confidence IN the markets
on the part of dealers but so far results fail to
furnish anything comforting in the situation.
The demand for steel rails is still strong, and
at the Edgar Thomson Works, notwlthstand-
ing increased capacity. orders are in sufficient
to absorb all the output for the first half of the
year. Following are the latest prices as fur
nished by leading dealers:

Macon says that most of what is sent there
as mahogany is the Cuban mahogany, which
is nothing more than red bay, which grows
abundantly in South Georgia and Florida,
and is far inferior to the wood that is brought
from the island of San Domingo. Cherry
is also scarce, and is valuable cabinet
wood. The discovery has been made, how-
ever, that sweet gum wood, when properly
cured, dressed and filled, is about equal
to mahogany for panel work in passenger
coaches.
Sweet gum grows in practically mex
haustible quantities in the swamps along
the Ocmulgee, and many thousands of feet
of the lumber could be gotten out within q
few miles Of Macon. Red and white beech
and dogwood can be found in abundance in
this swamp, and they are both good car
finishing material. Maple and white oak
also grow in paying quantities in there, and
also valuable cabinet woods. Sycamore ID
a choice material, but is rather scarce in
this section.

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The situation varies very little since our last
reports. Poultry OF all descriptions is scarce
and firm. Onions and cabbage are also very
firm. There is a scarcity of choice stock in
both lines. The chief trouble in all produce
lines all this season of soft weather has been to
secure good goods. Anything Of high quality
that shows up has little trouble finding custom
ers. But this grade of stuff is in small proper
ton to the aggregate of stuff coming to our
markets of late. The weather has all this win
ter been not only adverse to human health, but
also to the quality Of produce showing up for

Very Little Doing In Petroleum, but the
Market steady.
The oil market was dull, but fairly steady,
yesterday Opening, 81 O634; highest, 81 Oh;
lowest, 81 0o1z; closing, 81 O7. There was very
little trading at any point. All the strength
came from New York, but even there the buy
ing was light and ftful. Here there was no de-
cided expression either way, but the feeling
was bearish until near the close, when there
was change to the other side. The close was
steady and within Zc of the highest point of
the day. Thursdays clearances were 10000
barrels.
McCalmont Oil Company's No. Ferguson
farm, Shanopin, was reported flowing at the
rate Of 900 barrels per day. This is the fourth
big strike on that farm. The Westview Oil
Company's well on the Perrysville road, four
miles from Allegheny, reported as a $50 bar
reler, was spraying at the rate of about ten
barrels day, and was shut down for tankage
1t is thought to be good for Is barrels when
drilled in. The reported coming in of a 100
barrel well for T. B. Simpson & Co., on lot 1863
at Sheffield, lacks confirmation.

quarter of per cent lower than week
ago. The reported earnings of companies
are heavy, averaging for January gain Of
u per cent over last year, when rates were
more demoralized. The foreign trade of
the country seems to shrink a little, as is
natural, after the enormous business of last
year, and exports and imports at New York
both show some decline in comparison with
year ago, the returns, as usual, including
no specie, but merchandise only.
Business failures number 221.

More Strong Than Weak Features.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DlSPATCHJ
CINCINNATI February 7.-Rogers, Brown &
Co. say: While the iron market continues dull
and letharglc, there are more strong than weak
features apparent. 1t is asserted positively by
those in the best position to judge that current
consumption is keeping full pace with produc-
tion. This seems to be proved by the fact that
foundry and forge irons are nowhere accu-
mulating, and that furnaces are pressed to get
forward deliveries on contracts. Although
buyers have persistently held aloot for six
weeks, and active bear influences have been at
work. prices have been firmly held. The avoid
ance of a strike in the COnnellsville coke dis
trict with the probable advance in price of
coke, will remove another element of uncer-
tainty and further enhance the cost of pig. 1t
is thought that another buying movement must
set in soon; and if the demand is what many ex-
pect. there will be another upward turn in
values. Southern makers hold firm to their
schedule and decline to make concessions.
There is not much speculative iron offering.

IRON FIRM AND QUIET.
That Ts the Situation Generally Observed In
the Philadelphia Market.

IhLhOhAh ~ O1bfATCHs.
PHILADELPHIA, February THE pig iron
market remains firm and quiet. There is a
disposition on the part of producers in the
West, South and East to hold up the market,
and the furnace men in each district are sus-
tanning prices in their respective localities
without seriously encroaching on each
others territory transactions are generally
confined to small lots. Pretty much the
same condition prevails throughout the
iron market and the undortone appears to
be firm. The furnaces in blast and mills in
operation continue to produce large output,
hut there is no heavy accumulation of stock.
Furnacemen say that the small furnaces which
are about to be put into blast will not affect the
market.
No. l foundry is quoted at $40 per ton, No.
foundry at SIG. and gray forge at SIS, delivered
at tidewater with SOC to 81 extra for exceptional
lots. Bessemer iron is worth 81 50Q22 at the
furnace, billets s37@38 delivered; steel rails
SS6 old rails SIS so, with some exceptional lots
held at $50. Bridge plates are firm at 2S5Q2 4c;
angles, 23@235c;ties. 2S@2 29c;beams and chan
nels 3.lc; muck bars, $33 +. o. b. at the mill;
skelp, l95G2c for grooved and 210@2l5c for
sheared. The sale to Cleveland syndicate of
valuable Lake Superior ore property awakens
much interest in the trade. Iron manufactur-
ers have no fear that the ore market will be
cornered or exorbitant prices exacted as mill
ions of tons of good iron ore are yet unmined

Some Buyers Disappointed.

ESPECIAL TELEeKAh TO THE DISPAroH.l
CHICAGO, February 7-Rogers, Brown &
Co. say: Some of the buyers who have been
looking for break in prices as the result of
the quiet market since Christmas, are disap-
pointed. Values in the main have held up
well. Foundries are taking iron rapidly on old
contracts, and will shortly have need to re-
plenish stocks Here aud there a specnlator
or weak-kneed furnaceman has been running
around with small lots at cut prices, but the
effect while disQuieIing, has not been marked.
Lake Superior charcoal furnaces were perhaps
never sold so extensively ahead as at this time.
Good Ohio softeneTs are In steady demand.
Current business continues in small lots and at
practically unchanged prices.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPAToH.l
ST. LOUIS. February 7-Rogcrs, Brown &
Meacham say: Inquiries during the past week
have been somewhat larger than in January,
but there continues to be gap between the
demands of Southern furnaces and the figures
that consumers seem willing to pay. A few So
called outside lots, on which cut prices have
been made. are magnified and reported over
and over again. causing consumers to think the
market weaker than the facts justify. Most of
the Southern furnaces are holding up prices
firmly and decline to make concessions. Makers
of Ohio softeners are fairly well sold, and their
quotations in this market show no signs of
weakening. Pending the settlement of wages
at Connellsville. no quotations are made on
foundry coke. We quote for cash, f. o. b., st.
Louis hot blast coke and charcoal:
