STEEL RAILS QUIET.
Demand for Rails on the Decline and
Trices Drooping,
BUT STILL A COMFORTABLE PROFIT.
Flour Jobbers Complain That Agents of
Ohio Millers
DO TIOLEXCE TO KrIGULiE TEADE
Omen of rrrrsnuRo Dispatch, ?
Tuesday. Dec 2, 1S90. t
The average daily output of steel rails at
tlic Edgar Thomson "Works the past ten
mouths has heen above 100 ton?. The re
turns lor October showed oTer 30,000 tons,
and November, which bad one day less, will
show no failing off, though returns lor this
month are not at baud. The price of steel
rails has declined about $6 00 per ton in the
past year, and the cost o. production has de
clined about $7 50 per ton in the same time.
The season is now here hen railroad build
ing is suspended, and the Edgar Thomson
"Works, which for a year or two past has uni
formly been a lew months behind on orders,
has ot late about caught up, and the long
looked for and hoDcd for opportunity to
make some necessary repairs is at hand.
Prospects cow are that the operators will
have a few weeks' rest after the holidays.
Up. to this date the entire output is in de
mand. While prices are S6 00 per ton below
the highest point reached a year ago, there is
little doubt that a comfortable margin still ex
ists. The net proflts on steel rails cannot bo
less than J5 00 per ton. which means a daily rev
enue of more than 53.000 by the Edgar Thomson
Works.
As recent as 1SS2 steel rails sold at $70 to $75 a
ton. and within the pis two or three Tears
were sold as low as 2ci per ton. The present
;rice affords a comfortable niarcin, if only
orders will come in fast enough to take the
product. There is little doubt that our bic
country will require all that can be produced
zortne next lew y ears.
Flour Situation.
Pittsburg jobbers arc carrying large stocks ot
flour, and competition is so sham that there is
not a little cutting on prices. In the North
west there has been an advance of 10c to 15c
rer barrel on spring patents the past neck or
two. and some dealers here will rind it difficult
to replace goods at prices they are now re
ccixmg. Said a leading jobber yesterday: "The
regular dealers are placed at a disadvantaceby
the agents of Ohio millers, who hate their
agents in tins city, and are enabled to push
their stock onto our markets at prices below
market rate. for the reason that they have no
rents or taxes to jaj.
The regular jouber has liirfi rents and taxes
to pa; whereas, the ageuta of OMo millers arc
in a great measure freed from this expense. A
few pav office lent, anil many do not even pay
this. rbec aif nts aie pushing their goods on
to retailer and arc able to do it a: prices below
markets, for the reason that their expenses arc
next tci tintliins: The firm which I represent
furnishes employment to about 25 men and lots
of trade to blacksmiths, wagon makers and
other artisans of our city, but agents of Ohio
millers come in and cut rates because they are
2ie from many ot tbcsi1 expenses."
Tlir jobbing price of flour :s SO to Toe per bar
rel lusher than it in this time a year ago, and
would be still bizher but for the sharp compe
tition. The millions reap the benefit of com
petition. In tho present season of Inch prices
and increased cost of living the cutting on
Hour, while unpleasant to the jobber, furnishes
a few ciumbs of comlort to the eater.
Provision Trade.
Monday's run of hogs at East Liberty was the
largest lor any ore day this season. Receipts
were about SO loads. At Chicago on Saturday
receipts were 40,000 head, which was beyond
anything for the las: day of the week in many
years. xhe fact is plain that high-priced
com is having the effect of bnnslng unnsual
quantities ot porkers to maiket, and that a
hcarctty is likclv to follow, with higher pries.
Quality of hogs offered this season is below
aveiage. Last season quality was above aver
aic. lor the good and sufficient reason that
corn was men plenty and cheap and brouyht
letter returns by putting it into live 6tock than
could be obtained by bringing it to market.
With corn at 63c per buhvl, farmers are de
posed to;rct then hugs on to mat kctas promptly
as possible. Hence the low average oi this sea
ton's iifenngs.
When quality is considered, bogs are fully 33
per cent higher than they w ere a J ear ago. Top
price at Chicago to-day was S3 GO. Lightness o"f
money has. uo doubt, something to do with
present depression in hog markets, but bih
prlced grain, which causes fanners to push
stock on to market, has as much to do with tho
late decline.
A leading drover said yesterday: "It is onlj a
question of short time when hogs must au
vjnee Prices arc now low n to hard pan, and
the fact that our markets aie flooded of late is
evidence, to my mind, that thcic will be a
scarcity and higher prices after the holidays."
Futures on provisions are higher than spot
for the reasons given, viz., tight money and
high-priced grain.

Continued Activity in Hie Grain Pit
Troubles in the Noi thwest Wheat an J
Provisions Decline Corn and Oats
Hold Adiunce Ground.
CHICAGO There was a good deal of activity
n ike -even trading pits to-day and there was a
ieneral recovery in prices at the opening. Corn
and oats retained some of the improvement,
but wheat and provisions closed lower to-day
than they did ycsteiday. A decrease in the
amount of wheat afloat for Europe and Eng
land, according to lleerbobm. cae it a good
start at J4'c advance on the closing price of the
dav before.
The bullish items of the morning and the
action of Hutchinson's brokers caused wheat
to advance to SI 02. It hung at that point a few
seconds, surged back to SI 01 and made
another upward heave to SI 02J. with a sale or
two at SI 02'4- The bulls realized very freely
on this advance, and after y had come off the
price from that cause the financial bugaboo
commenced working, and before its effects had
oascd the price of May wheat had declined to
SI CO-V Tl.e Keystone Bank of Philadelphia
was lcporicu to bo in financial straits, and a
bank at West Superior, the National Bank of
Commerce, was reported commercially defunct.
A dispatch from Duluth said that the West
Superior bank was a small concern which bad
lcn sjggmg for six weeks or more, dropped
below par. and tms evidence oE weakness was
the occasion of the principal break in wheat.
The December delivery made a wider
straddle than before, and after standin- at
SJiJcUiscount it gradually widened to SJScper
bu-bel uudrr May. This heavy difference be
tween the fntures named is. ol course, a great
discouragement to those who expect wheat to
sell at higher prices and have a wish to buv
Although Abe prices of May wheat recovered to
SI OlJa. it sold off again and closed atSl 00i.
1 he trade in corn was governed in a great
measure by Iiutchlnson's operations and he
wasabujirfnr the most part. The general
crowd was inclined to take the bear side, but
were carelul about pressing their offerings.
There was only one occasion upon which tho
price sold as low as at the close of the preced
ing day. and that was immediately athe open
ing. and an advance of c over that price took
place in the course or the trading. The
fluctuations were to a moderate extent in
sympathy with tho course of tho wheat
market.
I he very meager stock of contract corn is, of
course, prohibitory or anv raiding tactics, even
with" the December delivery selling 4c below
Mav. Ibe price of May was irregular from
53Jf e to 035gC and it advanced to 54Uc, with a
sale or two at 54c. The tendency was toward
lower prices near tho end. ana there was a
reaction to KJc, with buyers at that at the
close.
Oats were fairly active, stronger and higher,
but outside prices were not maintained uniil
the close, when last sales showed a not gain of
K6?bC Thefcatuie of the trading was the
persistent buying of May by a large operator.
Pork Rather an active business was trans
acted. Puces opened lo12c lower, and
further declined 10c, but at the reduction
prices rallied 710c and closed comparatively
steady.
Lard A fairlv active trade was reported.
Prices ruled 07;c lower early in the dav. but
tallied again 2jtti3 and closed comparatively
steadv.
hhort Ribs Trading was moderately active.
Earlv tho fepling was rather steady, but about
the middle of the session a reduction of 5c was
submitted to. The market closed compara

AN EAST END ESTATE
In the Hands of Experts for Divis
ion Among the Heirs.
W0EKING UP AK0THER BOROUGH.
Higher Prices Show ths Existence of a
Setter Feeling in Stocks.
THE KEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE C1TI
It was ascertained yesterday that the
Baum estate, consisting of a large quantity
or land on .Rebecca, Coral, Vista, Villa,
Fairmount and other streets in the East
End, the bulk of it being in the Twentieth
ward, is to be divided among the heirs, of
whom there are three or four. Three promi
nent real estate brokers have been selected
to make an equitable division, and they are
now making an examination of the property
with that end in view. It is said that after
a settlement has been effected each of the
heirs will put his portion on the market.
Better Than Last Tear.
"While there is no telling what a day may
bring forth, it seems safe to say that busi
ness environments are more promising than
at any previous time within tho past two
months. General trade is quite satisfactory,
and the outlook for the winter is wholly encour
aging. The money market is working closely,
but all legitimate demands are promptly raer.
Conservatism in this direction is a guarantee of
satety. The following table of failures Tor the
year to date, with comparisons reaching back
to 1ES6. is significant in this connection:

18S7. This should inspire confidence, by im
pressing upon the pnblic that there is nothing
extraordinary in the situation to excite alarm.
Reckless trading, resulting in undue expansion
and inflation of credits, has not been a feature
of business durmg the year now drawing to a
close.
Making a Borough.
The proposition to make a borough out of the
upper half of Kilbuck township, or Emswonn,
is taking a tangible shape. Two meetings have
been held, at which the question was discussed
and the boundaries agreed upon. Surveyors
wereiset to work yesterday to establish tho
lines. The territory which it is proposed to
embrace within the 'borough limits contains a
population of about 3,000.
Business News and Gossip.
Disquieting rumors seem to have played their
part and taken their flight. There were none
on the street yesterday.
At the annual election for directors of the
Monongahela Insurance Company, held yester
day, the old board was retained, with the ex
ception of Mr. R. S. Smith, who was chosen to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr.
Hays.
A movement is on foot among members of
the Oil Exchange to Impose the duties of
Clearing House manager upon the Secretary.
This would give the Exchange full control of
the Clearing House and save 7300 a year.
Mr. Alexander Adair has made arrangements
for building a 40,000 Opera House in Johns
town next spring.

chase money.
Plans have been prepared for an opera house
at Canal Dover, O., to cost $20,000. -Mr. A.
Hardcsty, of Cambridge, is at the head of the
enterprise.
The sale ot the Bull's Head Hotel, on Second
avenue, is the most important transaction in
that locality for about two 3 ears. It is thought
to bo the precursor of several other deals.
Wllkinsbnrg people who bare purchased
property from the National Bank of Com
merce are fully convinced that the titles are all
right and are giving themselves no further
trouble about the matter.
It may be well enough to repeat what has
been written more than once, that there Is a
fine opening in Wllkinsburg for a good hotel.
On January 12 the stockholders of the Mo
nongahela Incline Plane Company will vote for
or against an increase of capital stock.
A valuable business property at Third and

A REACTION".
Local Stocks Take a Tarn for the
Better-
Lively Trading.
Stock trading was again active yesterday,
about up to the average since the flurry set in.
and there was a reaction in prices an up turn
affecting nearly everything on the active list.
The gains were small, it is true, but quite suffi
cient to show the prevalence of a better feeling
and to indicate returning confidence in specu
lative circles. The only things that showed
weakness were Pipeage and Switch and Signal.
In most cases the close was at the best .figures
of the dav.
Sales at the first call were 30 shares Philadel
phia Gas at 15K and 62 Electric at 20. On ac
count, etc. 10 shares Electric sold at 15, 50
CbartiersUasatlS. and 40 Electric at 20. At
second call 50 Electric went at 20. At third
call 150 shares Philadelphia Gas brought 15.
5 Electric 20. and 100 Luster 20J. Total sales
were 462 shares.

Market Irregular, but Prices at Close Usually

Up Several Points.
New York, Dec 2. Tho stock market to
day was very active in snots. While the gen
eral list was quiet and dull, and while there
were frequent changes in the temper of the
specalation, the tone in the main, especially in
the afternoon, was strong, and among the
active stocks material advances were scored.
The market is again chiefly under the influence
of the monetary situation, and money brokers
claim that it will be useless to look for any
amount of time money until after January 1, as
institutions aro not willing to enter into any
new engagemenis toward the close of the year.
To-day the sellers of yesterday were running
in ibxir shorts, frightened first by the attitude
of London, which hhowed a disposition to buy
stocks, and later by the suddenness with which
prk-es were advanced upon them late in the
day. The movement toward higher figures at
tht.t time was sharp and decisive, and most of
tho improvement recorded for the day was es
tablished at that time. The market at the open
lnj: was still irregular, but most stocks showed
sajie advance over last evening's figures, but
the short sellers were inclined to continue the
taitlcs of yesterday, and tho early trading re
sulted in lowering prices small fractions. . ,
This, however, was sooii stopped when the
bijying orders from tho other side were exe
cuted, and everything on the active list moved
Uj materially, ith Lackawanna, Burlington,
Rick Island and New England to tho van.
Upon the cessation of the buying for foreign
atcounts, however, there was another recession,
in which the bears brought special pressure to
bar upon the Northern Pacific and the pre
ferred rotircd about 3 per cent before the at
tack culminated. The remainder of the list
sympathized closely with this drop, and prices
were generally brought below those of tho
opening again. The concessions, however,
brought in buying orders, aud the list was again
started upon the up tack shortly afternoon,
and in St. I'aul, Lackawanna. Union Pacificand
Atchison were specially active and strong.
In Lackawanna, in which tho bears showed
most fright, the improvement from the lowest
price reached i per cent, while tho otheis
rose irom no per cent, .northern Pacific pre
fened regaining all the loss and something in
addition. Reading and Louisville were also
prominent in the late rise, but the general list
and the unlisted stocks were quite dull. The
covering operations came to an end shortly
afier delivery hour, and a partial recession fol
lowed our, the market closing quiet and firm
at close to the highest prices:

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Last week's pricestof Kigin creamery butter
were reaffirmed at the weekly meeting of tho
Board. Markets closed steady. Country butter
lias only a nominal value. Only fancy stock is
in demand. Common and low sradesare poor
stock at lowest figures. The scarcity of fresh
nearby egzs still continues. Not a few are
being sold for nearby which have traveled
from tho farthest West. There has heen an
overstock of poultry since Thanksgiving and
markets are weak. Choice potatoes and apples
are ilrni. Supply of potatoes in this market is
light, and a fow days of such cold weather as
we aro havine will undoubtedly send prices up.
in spite of the fact that prices arc now higher
than they have been for many years. When
jobbing prices of potatoes reach $1 25 per
bushel, as dealers predict, and that soon, tbii
staple vegetable will border on the luxuries of
life.
