WEAK AND UNSETTLED.

not Very encouraging outlook at Phila-
delphia just at Present.
rkrEcTAI TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH;
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5O-Taking the mar
ket as a whole, the events of the past week
have not been encouraging to the iron trade.
There has not been the improvement that was
hoped for, and if the position of the trade is no
worse than last week, it is as much as can be
claimed. Pig iron is beginning to show some
irregularity in prices. and the general feeling is
not very hopeful. From Swank's statistics it
is shown that stocks are 100000 tons larger
than one year ago. This, coupled with the fact
that consumption is decreasing, while there is
no evidence that the production is decreasing
in proportion, has rendered prices weak and
unsettled. Asking prices tor lots delivered in
consumers yards are as follows: STANDARD
PENNSYLVANIA, No. Y Sl7 506lS 90: No. . Y,
Sl6 5OGl7 90; medium Pennsylvania, No. Y
Sl7 0Odl7 80 and No. y y, SIC 00Gl6 %; orui-
nary forge cinder mixed, SIS 50dl4 90; charcoal
car wheel iron, S22d26. Muck bars are very
dun. a few snail sales have been made at
from S27 to So y delivered, hut buyers of
large lots do not bid more than S26 5O@26 75.
Bar iron is very dull. with an absolute
scarcity of business. The quotations in d gen.
eral way are LS0GlS5c. Skelp iron is in very
little demand. and sellers are willing to shade
prices on large orders. Nominal prices are
lS0c delivered for grooved skeip, and LIS
@l90c for sheared.
Structural material is in much the same posi-
tion as last week. The competition is becoming
sharp and the prices irregular. The usual
asking prices for lots delivered in consumers
yards are: Angles. 2O5G2l5c: sheared plates,
2l0d290c, and from lUc to 2Oc more for steel
according TO requirements Tees, 25G2 &c:
beams and channels, Slc for either iron or
steel. Plates are somewhat depressed on a
smaller business than was anticipated.
Competition is close and prices are inclined
to droD. General quotations for lots
delivered in consumers yards. are about as fol-
lows: ship and tank plates of iron, 90 a. l0c,
and steel. 21062 20c. Iron bridge plate 2Q5l
2l5c, and steel, 2l5d2.25c. Steel rails are in
very little demand, and prices are nominal at
$50 at mills. Scrap iron is in good demand for
choice scrap at tull prices. Sales have been
made at about the following quotations: No.
railroad scrap, SD 50623 90 in Philadelphia, and
So 50G2S 80 for deliveries at mills in the in
terror according to distance and quality.

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Friday has proved by far the best day of the
week in this department of trade. Favorable
weather and the fact that retailers are we'll
cleaned up brought an unusual number OF Gus
toners. The mouths are as numerous as ever
and must be filed, SO buyers are making up for
the quietness of the early part of the week.
There are no changes in prices worthy of note.
Eggs are in good supply, but demand IS equally
good. Potatoes and apples are quiet. Con-
sumption in these lines has greatly fallen this

NEW YORK STOCKS.
The Market Opens Stronger and Broader,
but Closes Rather Weak, With but Few
Changes of Note - Burlington
Shows the Least Strength.

Shows the Least Strength.
NEW YORK. Jan. 3O.-While the death of
Secretary Window produced genuine sorrow
IN Wall street to-day, it had no apparent infu-
ence upon the speculation. The market, how
ever, at least during the morning hours to-day,
was broader and stronger than usual of late to
which the utterances of Secretary Window last
evening aided, but there was again an evident
support given in the Gould stocks and Wander
bits. Lake Shore being especially prominent in
the RISE being helped by rumors of increasing
lent buying of Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific
and Wheeling and Lake Erie, all of which are
conspicuous for the advances scored in the
earv dealings.
Burlington continues the weakest spot in the
market, and, while there is some buying in it,
the traders and bears have made it favorite
for their attacks. The Northern Pacific became
very weak late in the dav, and this in spite of
the publication of dispatch which declared
that it had been decided to make the next divi-
dend at the rate of per cent per annum. The
story had SO much the appearance of being put
out to sell the stock upon, that there was a
drop to realize on the profits of the last rise,
and a material loss resulted in the short time
remaining to do business IN.
This decline was also hastened by rumors
that, by reason of large Treasury absorptions
during the week, the bank statement would
show material loss in reserve. This, how
ever. could he easily wlthstoOd, as the banks
have been unable to place even a portion of the
funds which have accumulated In their vaults
for the past four weeks.
The market opened at irregular but small
changes from last nights figures, and soon de-
veloped strength on the buying noticed, Lon
don giving some aid in this direction. Consld-
cradle activity marked the upward movement,
but the demand was soon satisfied and prices
dropped, when dullness became the lead
ing feature Stagnation ruled during
the first two afternoon hours. and it was only
late in the day, with the selling of the Northern
Pacific and Union Pacific and the buying of
other stocks, that animation was again seen.
The close was quiet but weak at Insignificant
changes for most stocks. The only ones Of i'm
portance were losses of 11s in silver and l per
cent iu Northern Pacific. while Lake Shore
rose Il Z; sugar, new stock, /, and Wheeling and
Lake Erie preferred ~.
Railroad bonds were quiet. with well dis
tributed business of 81 223,00O of which Erie
seconds contributed sl03. .000 There was very lit
tie tone to the dealings, however. and slight and
irregular changes resulted from the days op-
eralions. The important changes are few. with
a majority Of declines.

this time except for repairs that have not yet

and there plenty of coke on hand The de-
mand for iron is improving every day, and
trade has been fairly active during the week.
There has been stiffening of prices and in
small lots the manufacturers are getting 50
cents per ton more than they did month ago
No. l foundry is now quoted as firm at Sl2 50 in
small lots OF for future delivery. 1t cannot lie
bought in large quantities and for cash at less
than So 90 T. o. b. at the furnace.
The stock of iron on hand in this district is
now verv low. Most of the furnaces have sold
all the iron they have on hand and orders are
coming il fast enough to take their regular
output. Some of the large concerns have few
thousand tons on hand but none of Them are
overstoCkCd; in fact they have less iron than at
any timc within wear. The outlook. both for
better prices and a good demand is decidedly
better than it was at the first of the year. and
furnace men talk very cheerfully of the situa-
uon. The Presidents OF the three largest CON-
panles in the district have issued orders for
every stack to be put i'll blast just as soon as
possible.

On Southern coke irons there is a smaller

in this department remains practically un-

elements at work, which are keeping the mar

the curtailment in consumption brought about
