Local stocks opened yesterday with some dis
play of buoyancy on favorable news from New
York and London, and cheering advices from
the crop districts First prices in most cases
were at or slightly above those of the previous
close. hut the feeling changed to bearIsh before
the day was over, and final figures were, with
few exceptions, the lowest made. Total sales
were 335 shares.
Philadelphia Gas was steady early, but ex-
hiblted considerable weakness ut the last call.
indicating that the upward movement had
been arrested for the present, at least Buyers
always look ahead, and with the certainty of
reduced receipts during the summer months
they naturally attach less value to natural gas
stocks. Hence the reaction. The rest of this
group was neglected.
Electric was slow and weak during most of
specially significant. No inspiration came from
Boston, where the last sale was at 13H and Of
fered at l3L at the close. and the apathy here
was quite natural. Nothing can stand without
support. 1t was again stated that the company
was in better condition to-day than at any pre-
vious time since the financial Involvement but
nothing was given out to substan tiate the
claim, which is therefore susceptible of
double construction, according as one wishes TO
view it. Affairs now may be better than then,
and still notVs all that is required. The Boston
Guilty may be a change mismanagement and
partial reorganization.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Switch and
Signal statement was unsatisfactory, the stock
was we'll held with buying orders around 9H
and 81. A broker said the statement had not
yet been mailed to stockholders. 1t will not be
completely digested before next week.

but there were buyers at concessions, showing
no loss of interest. Citizens Traction sold at

That Tend to Show n Resumption OF Ac-
tivIty in the Market.
SPECIAL TELEaRAM To THE pIsP krcH.;
PHILADELPHIA. April 1.-THE iron market
has shown some improvement the past week
and the early resumption to activity is moro
encouraging. Prices have not. however. ma
terially changed, nor are they ik ely to for some
time yet. Justice Cox. Jr., of this city, who
represents several of the largest iron establish
ments in the State, commenting upon the situa-
ton. summed up the outlook in this brief way:
I'VE must either have higher prices or reduce
wages or there will be long stoppage this
summer" In view of the facts that the country
is rapidly recovering from November's hnSn-
cial panic; that the crop outlook is excellent,
winch means increased railroad earnings; that
extensive building operations are assured. and
with an easy mDney market it is believed that
prices will advance and that present wages can
be maintained, thus removing primary cause
for labor troubles. Most of the strikes now on
are in course of adjustment, and with their
end viii come more settled feeling, renewed
confidence and better times generally.
Prices for pig iron are only fairly steady and

y at si6 0Q9l6 20. The market, however, is
featureless. Buyers positively refuse 60 engage
to any great extent. simply taking what they
need, believing that lower range of prices
will shortly be reached. On the other hand,
sellers dc not feel that the outlook warrants
their making concessions. Notwithstanding
that the curiailment in production has been
enormous, there is plenty of stock to go around,
and the output is now on about a par with the
demand. Structural material Is not active, but
its improvement has been SO marked that
lively trade is predicted as the season advances

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Bulls and Bears Evenly Balanced on Wall
Street-Most Changes Are Small Ad-
vances-An Unfayorable Bank
Statement Expected.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE feeling on the
street to-day was more confident on the bull
side, as the opinion was that. notwithstanding
the bad news of the past two days, there had
been no concession in prices, even with the aid
of hammerlng by the bears and the realizations
of profits by small holders. To-day's market,
therefore, started off with a most confident
tone, and maintained q firm front throughout
the day, although certain adverse influences
were not without their effect in restraining the
evident tendency of prices to advance. The
slight furry IN money the other day makes the
smaller operators cautious for the time being
and the expectation is for an unfavorable bank
statement tomorrow, decreasing reserve FORE
shadowing higher rates for money in the
future.
Under the circumstances, the forces at work
in the market were nearly balanced, and even in
the most active stocks. like st. Paul, Atchison
and Burlingt on the price never got far away
from that of the opening. There was purchas-
ing of Northern Pacific preferred, and the coal
stocks were no longer weak point in the list,
the resolution not to reduce rates, hut rather
to fight the Interstate commerce eommission,
stitfening them up.
A firm opening on the -iJr,:ru 'IyIng was
followed by ieaction OIL the selling by traders;
but the demand from the West was not to be
denied, and prices were generally lifted above
the level of those OF the opening, while the
fluctuations were confined within narrow
limits, considering the amount of business
done in the active stocks Selling of long
stocks by weak holders on fear of active money.
again brought the list down in the afternoon;
but the support was forthcoming and the re-
action was kept within bounds and further
improvement was afterward made.

A COMPLICATED MARKET.
The Chief Points That Make Cincinnatis
Iron Situation Peculiar.

The Chief Points That Make Ctncinnatfs
Iron Situation Peculiar.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
CINCINNATI. April r.-Rogers, Brown q Co.
say: The whole range of the iron market has
seldom presented SO many complicated and
contradictory features as it does to-day. The
main points around which interest centers are
the crop prospects, the impending coal strike,
the enormous reduction in output of pig iron
the rapid decrease of stocks. the generally
hopeful feeling that prevails as 10 the future,
and amid it all weak prices and slack de-
mand 1t is admitted that both in condition of
crops and acreage, the winter wheat crop prom
ises better than il has for years. All through
the Central West the stand Is almost perfect,
and similar reports come from the Northwest.
Preparations are also being made for very
large acreage of spring wheat. Nothing can
yet be said regarding the corn crop, which runs
SO heavily into railroad transportation. except
that high prices will stimulate great acreage.
Fruit prospects are also excellent in all sec
tions. Big crops and high prices seldom come
together. and the prospects for this rare com
bination in 1891 give firm undertone TO every
thing in spite of doubts and alarms.
Exactly how various furnaces. rolling mills
and foundries will be affected, it is difficult to
fOresee, but 1t is certain that confusion will
prevail for time. The output of iron is not
increasing. and the slender stocks on hand are
being still further cut down. In the South,
production is running pretty full and there is
= gradual Improvement in furnace practice that
begins to tell in two important par
ticulars of reduced cost and better
quality OF iron. Southern iron, both In
grading and quality, has greatly improved
in the past five years In the Mahoning and
Shenango valleys there is no change, and in
Central and Southern Ohio furnaces are drop
ping out one by one The demand continues TO
be for small lots for immediate use, with
occasional transactions looking as far into the
future with deliveries as furnaces can be in
duced TO 20. No change in prices can be noted,
An occasional bargain is picked up from fur
mace needing to realize on a special lot, but
otherwise the low prices previously reported
prevail. Quotations unchanged.
