Pittsburg- Shortage of ore shipments
during the summer is already being felt
by independent furnace interests. accord
ing to blast furnace centers. 1t is an
nounced that the lack of ore has forced
furnace men to pay higher prices for
what material is available and is forcing
up the cost of production of iron rap
idly. Add to this the inability of the
railroads to handle coke shipments even
with the present curtailed production,
what the condition will be when the coke
ovens get down to business is hard to say.
These conditions make pig iron dealers
believe that pig iron will not stop ad-

New York-The broad and even trade
in stocks exhibited no change at mid
day, and the moderate profit taking. on
the reaction which at about II o'clock
was checked before it attained important
proportions. Many stocks were held
steady at gains of about point, and
professional traders were not disposed to
sell on hard spots as formerly. Big in

the buying only when tendency towards
weakness developed, and the disposi-
ton to close the year with a strong mar
ket was observed on every hand. The
Steels were strong. Locomotive common

MARKET TO CLOSE
THE YEAR STRONG
Steel and Coal Stocks Well
Taken at Advancing
Prices

NEW YORK, Dee. 2S-The same dull
rising market and the same largely pro-
fessionaI share in dealings were in evil
dence again on the stock exchange today.
The stocks which were picked for cad
vances were much less influential on SEN
timent by their movements than were the
high grade standard stocks which were
conspicuous yesterday and still showed
evidence of realizing today. This was no.
tably true of New York Central the
strength of which infused confidence into
the whole market yesterday. Low grade
industrial stocks came forward into no.
tlce today. News was uniformly favor
able to values and the extraordinary ease
OF money afforded means for embarking
in stock market commitments But the
dimensions of the days business is suf-
ficiently convincing that there was no
widespread interest in the market.
Stocks Scarce
There is a general belief that the lift
ing of prices is due in some degree to the
tfons to help out that item in their an
nual statements which is entitled Mar
ket Value of Securities Held" There is
no, doubt of the scarcity of stocks offer
ing at present, so that the process Of
marking up prices is conducted at a mini
mum of the expense involved in absorb
ing offerings on the advance. The faith
is widely held that an active demand for
securities will be revived with the re-
lease of funds in January and it is sup
posed that present holdings of stocks are
dIXlOuS 10 see prices at a pfOuCaDle lever
for themselves when this expected de-
mand awakens. Advances from these
causes are justly attributed to somewhat
narrow professional factors rather than
to broad market demand for securities,
but they are significant of the underlying
strength OF the market conditions new
ertheless without which the professional
tactics would be unavailing to move
prices.
Trade Advices BuIish
The interest manifested in the indus
trials today was stimulated by the color
of trade advices especially from all de-
partments of the iron and steel trade.
Railroad buying was the most conspicuous
factor and dealt especially with bridge
matters, steel rails, freight cars, locomo-
tives and in fact all forms of railroad
equipment Amalgamated Copper re-
sponded to fresh advance in crude cop
mand for the metal. Refined sugars were
growing conviction that the governments
estimates of an unprecedented yield Of
that crop are warranted, a fact that may
have its naturally beneficial effect ON
stocks modified by the reflected effect Of
speculative losses in cotton.
Much Importance was attached to the
relief by the breaking of the drought
from some serious restrictions in indus
trial activity. A new high record price
for Northern Securities on the curb was a
feature in the day. The market closed
quite active and firm.
Bonds were firm. Total sales par value,
S., 1876, 900. United States bonds were un-
changed to CALL
