THE MARKET ToNING UP.

A Better Aspect Presented in the Coke Stu
ation-Shipments Are Largely on the In
crease, With Good Prices Prevailing
Seven Plants in Operation.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH
SCoTTDALE. March ia perceptible toning
up has been observed in the coke market since
the last report. Shipments daily increas-
ing. The operators having their works
in operation are not losing money,
as they can command very stiff
figures for their production. One of these
operators is said to be receiving 81 SO per ton
The wants of some of the consumers are very
pressing and they are clamoring for fuel The
outlook this week, as viewed by persons con-
versant with the trade is that the situation
will improve rapidly after April l. A general
resumption is looked for not later than May l.
The coke being shipped from the region is
all consigned to Eastern and Western points.
Pittsburg is not in the swim at present. West
ern shipments are made up chiefly of Rainey's
output Considerable of the coke sent East is
received by the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany at Steelton- There are now seven plants
embraced in the active list, viz, Mount
Braddock, Percy. Pennsville, PAUL, Grace,
Fcrt Hill and Fairchance. By actual count
there are over 100 ovens in blast in the
region. The idle list does not reach l5,0O0. All
the active works are making six Gays per week
regularly.
Shipments last week averaged about IS cars
per day, against 80 cars of the previous week.
The amount of business done was almost
doubled. The total increase was 2S9 cars Fol-
lowing was the record of consgnments: To
points west of Pittsburg. 4S0 cars; to points
east of Pittsburg, 104 cars: total. 5S4
cars. This was the record of the pre-
ceding week: To points west of Pittsburg,
l6j cars; to points east of Pttsburg, l30 cars;

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsFATcH.i
New YORK, March ls.-The condition
OF the iron and steel markets is reported as
follows by the Iron Age:
American pig-Tnere is very little doing in
foundry irons, and the conviction is gaining
ground that however much production may
have been reduced during the past few months,
consumption has declined in nearly an equal
proportion. The extreme range on Northern

No 2,and Sl4 UOal5 90 for gray forge. Southern

cording to brand.
Ferro manganese-In addition to the sale Of
800 tons noted last week, there has been sales in
different lots previously OF about 1000 tons at
low prices. Since then there have been further
transactions, aGgregatlng few hundred tons,

taken by domestic makers. The quotation here

trio Lower, but Philadelphia Gas
Holds Its Own-Exchange Talk.
All of the stock calls yesterday were interest
ing. though not exciting, each having new
feature. Local orders were SAID to be multi
plying, making up in some degree for the with
drawal of Eastern support Total sales were
$50 shares.
The feature of the first call was an advance
in Electric from II to 1925 on small dealings,
but on removal of the pressure it sagged to l2ss.
AT the second call it opened at l2Z and sold at
l25s. 1t was weaker at the final call, selling
and closing at l21s-about the same as At bos'
ton.
There was a surprise at the second call in the
shape of the sale of 500 shares of Silverton Min
ing-the first for coon's age-at 81 70. 1t IS
understood the purchaser is identified with the
company.
The Baltimore and Ohio deal with the Pitts.
burg and Western has brought number OF
would-be buyers of the stock into the market,
who have bid up the price to l6Ha or a little
more without securing any of it SO far; 1t is
held strong at l714 and Is. Yesterday l615 was
bid, with offers az l7H.
Luster and Electric were the only properties
handled at the final call, and the feature was
the strength of the miner. 1t sold at l4sl and
closed at l41l This was unexpected, as many
looked for il to weaken on the one of two i'm
portant meetings, one of them to consider the
proposed increase OF stock. That iC more than
ments of derogatory nature will be success
fully refuted.
Philadelphia Gas opened and closed at IL
without sale. There were no home orders
tor it, and outsiders seem to have all they want.
Citizens Traction sold at57h. There was bid
of 70 for Manufacturers Gas, but no seller.
There was nothing lew IN the rest of the list.
A broker said that MIR. Westinghouse had
not been heard from since he went East, and
nobody appeared to know what he has done.
The extension of time for disposing of pre-
ferred stock runs out to-day. 1t IS probable an
other will be asked for. Creditors are sup
posed to be satisfied. since no new suits have
been entered SO far as learned. Sales were:
First call-S0 Electric at 12%. 10 at 125s, 20 at
l211%, rs Citizens Traction at 57A
After call-S40 Citizens Traction scrip at
S75s.
Second call-5O0 Silverton Mining at ~, ITO
Electric at 1875. 10 Luster at 1434.
Third call-5O Luster at AZ, 20 Electric at
12H.
Before call-l00 Electric at l2E.
Fluctuations at each Of the three calls are
shown in the following table.

Bad News Gives the Bears the Advantage
in the Early Wheat Dealings, Which
They Soon Lost-Corn Higher
- Oats OHiet.

cHICAGO-The strength and enthusiasm in
the buying of wheat yesterday had given place
to the opposite extreme when the traders clus-
tered together il the trading pit this morning.
The opening trades IN the May delivery were
at from 81 0l16 to 81 0l3z with one or two lots
dropped at 81 0l4.
The cables were the weakest received here
since the French started to bewail the loss Of
heir crops. Another bearish feature was the
increased Northwestern receipts. The other
side was represented in the news of the day by
the clearances from the Atlantic seaboard.
which were liberal A crop expert was reported
as saying that winter wheat was turning brown
from freezing and thawing. The price during
the greater part of the days trading was done
at from 81 OF to 81 0lH. 1t sold down to 81 001s,
and looked for a few minutes like going all to
pieces, but BUYERS appeared to spring up on all
sides at the decline, and its course was arrested
and faced about in the opposite direction. St.
Louis supplied the fuel to keep the steam up
on the buying side toward the end. The mar
ket was firm during the last hour of the session,
with May up to 81 OH.
The bulls in corn once more impressed upon
the bears the futility of fighting odds so heav-
lily against them. The bulls appear modest in
the use of their superior advantages. The
price of the May delivery was advanced about
&c to-day. May opened at 637sQ6Ic, with few
sales as high as 6414c soon after the start
There was no great demand at the advance
during the first half of the session, and de-
clining tendency succeeded until midday,
when it began to pick up again, and afterward
it made its highest mark. selling up TO 644c,
having in the meantime sold down TO 6315c.
There was light trade In oats, with free SELL
ing by the longs. May started at 5315c, sold to
5355sc and declined to 52slc. Thence The price
recovered to 5S1zc.
The provision trade huctuated at the mercy
of the packers. The opeaing was strong on ac-
count of the receipts of hogs being lighter than
the estimates and the quality poor. Lard and
ribs were relatively firmer than pork. The first
trades in pork were at sll IS for May, with a

NEW YORK STOCKS,
The Dullest Share Market for Some Time
Fractional Losses-Comstock Tunnel
and Phoenix Doomed Up 10


Fractional Losses-Comstock Tunnel
and Phoenix Doomed Up 10
Per Cent-Bonds Dull.
NEW YORK, March l9-The dullness in the
stock market to-day exceeded that of any day
for some time, and only in st. Paul, Burlington
and Comstock Tunnel was there any animation
whatever. The tone of the dealings was in
clined to weakness, but the fluctuations were
in the main SO slight that no marked tendency
in prices was to be detected during the greater
portion of the day. The bulls, however, have
not changed their ground, and maintain that
improvement in both strength and activity is
likely to come at any moment, and, as usual
when least expected. There is believed TO be
large short interest in the Western stocks, and
Burlington and Quincy for the last few days
has commanded a premium for use, which is
something remarkable. considering the size of
the market.
The prospects of further exports of gold and
the selling by London. limited though it be, are
the principal disturbing elements at present.
but many believe that as soon as London be-
comes convinced that the bulls have really the
upper hand here it will come into this market
again as buyer The activity in st. Paul and
Burlington and Quincy was much less than
usual Of late, while the general list was simply
neglected. The sentiment that there will be
further orders of gold for export with realiza-
tions in the Western stocks, caused the only
movement OF importance for the day
after l P. NJ, when the aggregate losses
reached as high as l per cent in some stocks.
In the unlisted department there was active
trading and decided strength in Comstock
Tunnel and Phoenix, each OF which advanced
about 10 per cent. A slight rally followed the
downward movement of the afternoon, and the
market finally closed dull and fairly steady at
close to the lowest prices, but with fractional
losses from last nights prices in everything but
Canada Southern, which is down l per cent.
Railroad bonds felt the general apathy more
than usual to-day and sympathizsd closely
