With Very Little Business.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH;
NEW YORK. May 29.-The Iron Age in its
issue of to-day printed the following from Lon
don:
There have been no important DEVELOPMENTS
IN the speculative branch of the iron trades.
and practically no market in Scotland since
Wednesday. There is further talk
OF furnaces going out but those
reports have little effect except to
cause buyers of Cleveland to hold back
Scotch warrants eased off Tuesday TO AIS I'd
and Cleveland to 40s I'd. Henatites sold at
53s 5d45Ss Cd. Makers prices for most brands
OF Scotch pig are rather steadier, as are also
those Tor hematite pig. but Cleveland is selling
at further slight decline. Speigeleisen prices
have frmed uD IN response to rather better
demand. Steel, except IN the form of rails is
in no better demand, and prices are still un-
settled. a further decline OF Is I'D is quoted
on wire rods.
Tin plate mas had rather better demand and
prices are suffer. Buyers seem more inclined
TO take hold at sellers late figures, and in
quiries have been made for large lots. On
actual sales there is one-third advance over last
weeks prices all along the line. Block tin is
taken for consumption in fair quantities but
speculation is moderate at present. Prices
weakened somewhat owing to lack of outside
interest, but have since recovered.
In copper there has been large business
and prices are again higher all along the line,
with 9l 5s advance on bars. French holders
have realized. but in careful manner and
without detrimental bearing upon the market.
American Manufacturers Cable Quotations.
Scotch Plg-There has been little fuctuation
In warrants or in makers iron Speculation
quiet and the consumptive demand without
improvement

Money Working Trifc Easier, But the
Supply Not Excessive.
Checking at the local banks was heavy yes
terday, as shown in the increased volume of
exchanges as compared with the previous days
of the week. They were S2,S45.4T2 o. The
balances were s237. .7S2 lS There was a good
demand for money, which was met at rates
ranging from to 7per cent. according to the
collateral. Funds are working easier if any
thing. due to the gradual subsistence of the
spring furry but they are not overly plethoric
as business is active and absorbs large amounts
The principal factor in sustaining discount
rates is the fact that a great deal of capital
sent South and West last fall to help move the
crops failed to return having found permanent
employment there Those who are holding out
for cheap money, will, therefore, probably be
disappointed. This seems all the more certain
from the fact that business expansion has been
on such a scale as to prevent the accumulation
of a large surplus at any of the financial CEN
ters. thus maintaining a healthy equilibrium
between supply and demand.
Money on call at New York yesterday was
close ranging SOLO per cent. last loan 0, closed
offered at 5. Prime mercantile paper, SOL.
Sterling exchange was more active and firm at
81 S41x for 6O-day bills and 81 S61s for demand.

SCoTTDALE, May 29.-There are signs OF an
Improvement in the coke trade as shipments
last week increased several hundred cars over
the week before. A prominent coke operator
expressed himself thus to your correspondent
yesterday:
"a am inclined to think that the depression In
the coke trade, which has been noticeaole
characteristic for the last two months, is about
over. base my statement on the estaDilsneo
fact that the stock houses OF many OF our
customers which were filled to oyerno"ing
during the month of January and February,
are getting low and need stocking up. A slight
improvement in the iron trade would, however,
materially aid u.s."
The works are still making five and six days
per week.

cars per day. against 9S4 of the week before.

NEW OVENS TO BE BUILT.
The Whitney and Stewart works continue to
make six days per week. Oliver Brothers &
Phillips will build several hundred ovens south

A strike is again threatened at Rainey's
works. The operator, however, is not alarmed,
and anticipates victory over the knights Of
Labor once more.

The Renl E.tnte Exchange.

The project for establishing Real Estate
Exchange in Pittsburg, to judge from surface
indications, is about as hfeless as a doornail
hut there is quiet movement behind the cur
taius, and confined to a few leading brokers,
which may result in something favorable be-
fore the end of the year. A prominent real
estate operator said on this subject yesterday:
while the scheme has discouraging out
look at present. l have good reason for saying
that there is considerable quiet discussion
going on about 1t. Every firm on Fourth ave-
nue. above Smirhfield street is in favor of an
exchange, but they are suspicious of the lower
end of the avenue, for the reason that nearly
all the firms down there are
old-timers and think they have a mortgage on
the business; they would, it is feared, want to
run the Exchange according to their ideas, and
thus freeze the younger members out To this
the latter decidedly object have no doubt
an exchange would be great help to business,
and be beneficial to both sellers and buyers,
but it musG be conducted on line of perfect
equality between members to make 1t 90. All
must have an equal voice and an equal chance.
and think, from what have heard, that this
point has been practically conceded-which is
a sign of progress and ultimate success"
1t was learned from another source that 1t is
proposed to call the brokers together at an
early day for the purpose of adjusting all
differences and adopting measures to forward
the enterprise.

THE COURSE OF OIL.

Considerable Trading, but nj the Expense of
Values-Bearish Features.
The oil market was active, but weak, yester-
day. The general situation was the same as it
had been for some tIme-Oil City and Bradford
doing the selling and Pittsburg trying. in a
small way, to maintain prices. A good many
small bundles were handled, but the aggregate
was unimportant. The range was: Opening
and highest 90ss; lowest, S93l; closing. 80.
The bearish features were a lack of orders a
drop Of 10 points in refined at New York, and
the holiday to-day and half holiday tomorrow
virtually shutting out business for the rest of
the week. Nothing was said about field news.
Several wells are about due, and they may
change the situation. The monthly report it
is thought, will be bullish. 1t will appear to-
morrow. Wednesdays clearances were 17O. 900
barrels

Second Avenue Property Fails Under the
Hammer for Lack of Bids.
THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE TOWN

The attempt to sell the Collins & Wright
property on Second avenue, just below
Snithfeld street, yesterday afternoon was
fash in the pan. The auctioneer stated at
the outset that he had a standing bid of
$50, 900 for it, and that unless he could get
an advance OF this he would withdraw the
property for private sale. As there were no
other bids this was accordingly done.
The lot is 67xS0 feet, with three old build
ings thereon. Several capitalists in the
crowd were heard to express the opinion that
$50, 900 was all the property was worth, and they
showed they were in earnest by refusing to
bid more.
