office of Pittsburg Dispatch, i
Friday. April 10. J
Eat Iko axd Steel Trade during
tbe week shows au improvement not a
large one, but still au improvement.
Everything must have a start, and it is to
be hoped that the present improvement, al
though a small one, will be the beginning
cf something more extensive. Prices of
iron and steel have been on the down grade
for some time. It certainly looks at this
writing that bottom prices have been
reached, and that from this time forth bet
ter prices, a larger demand and an im
proved condition of affairs may be the rule,
aot the execution. Our report to-day shows
sales ol certain zradt-3 above those made
last week. The demand for Bessemer was
larger than for m.ius ti'ua past. Another very
promising leatuu- was that certain iron firms,
undoubtedly well inforned, have within a few
tld5 purchased several rood sized blocks of
JiesscLier pig for April and May delivery.
1 tiis uiai be taken as hint that present prices
are considered aw down, and that purchasers
may di-co rr to their cost that dcla s are some
times ver costii. Another thing, sit down and
count the c st ot oie. limestone, coke and labor
s.nd on wil! soon make up jour mind that raw
Iror m being old at a icasouably low figure.
Compare B"eincr with April, 1890. when prices
ruied SI"1 and grav foro 15 "5; present
prices, Bessemer, 15 75&ll 00; uny foige,
CIS 75911 CO At the same time there has been
Jio reduction in ore, coke, limestone and labor.
Most of the Sheuaugo and Mahoning valley
f jrua-es are ttill out of blast, those beiug cn
jrag 1 on picvious contracts not yet filled. The
Koik ot non iii the "valle" is said to be light.
'. ue coke question is still unsettled and the
ttrike still on, though works are starting up
wirb a hunted number of men. The right has
been a bitter one, and just how it is going to
i.d i what no person can predict, as both sides
Ceiii as determined as ever.
Plttbburg's Product Keeps Ahead.
Pittsburg City furnace-made iron commands
the highest price. Wo learned of sales of
Cray lorge at S13 75 at the furnaces. As usual,
$a onte brands are attracting the most atten
tion, common and unknown brands in mauy In
stances tail to find purchasers unless shaded.
In former scars sales of large blocks of iron
vers made extending three or four months de
livery. At present sales do not extend beyond
CJor 90das. This shows a conservative feel
ing among dealers.
The Sitcation Bessemer pig Is firmer, and
$s attracting more attention with leading deal
ers. Grav forge is full, 25 cents per ton above
last week's prices. Steel slabs and billets show
jio change. Tho same may bo said ot SO per

the works closed for want of orders. Skelp
Iron Prices still on the down srade; low figures

Sloom and billet ends are firmer. Old iron and
Steel rails are more inquired for, with light
offerings. Scrap material A good business is
Siting transacted at current rates.

The Chicago Market Is Devoid of Any
Feature of Special Interest.
TrlCTAL TltEGBAM TO TUB DISPATCt.1
Chicago, April 10, Rogers. Brown & Her
Vtin saj: "The Chicago pig iron markettn
tinues to be devoid of features of special inter
est. Few sales of any size have been made,
though considerable carload business has been
carried on. Foundries ccnerally report slack
work, and consumers are indisposed to bey for
anything but to cover their immediate require
ments. Prices remain practically unchanged,
though some special lots of coke iron are being
offered at cut figures, as the holders desire to
realize.
ly&kc Superior charcoals are still in small de
mand, but there are some inquiries from con
sumers wbu consider, the uieient market a
good one on which to buy as a matter of specu
lation. The feeling exists in all quarters that
one of th most essential things toward bring
ing greater activity is a eood rnn in the way of
crops, which will be likely to cause railroads to
place orders for tolling stock and supplies,
which will start activity in all lines.

A Large Pennsylvania Order Pott Idfo Into
tho Philadelphia Market.
SFBrtAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Philadelphia, April 10. No material
change has occurred in the iron market tbo
past week, but an early improvement is ex
pected. In fact, th first step in this direction
has already been made by an order from the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company on Wednes
day for steel rails, aggregating 20,000 tons,
which was divided among the three great
Pennsylvania mills on its main line. The mar
ket price. S30 per ton, was paid. This Is the
first cheering news we have been able to givo
since the market began its retrograde move
ment, and we look unon it as an early resump
tion to activity, if no't Increased rates. Thirty
dollars will proDablv continue the market price
for this staple, for President Roberts is too
shrewd a financier to pay any excess in price
Just wLat influence this purchase will have
upon the market in general can only be sur
mised, but e believe it will be favorable. The
railroads of the country ha7e been holding
back their orders in the hope that lower prices
nnchtbe obtained, but the action of the Penn
sylvania will probably show them thatiurtber
waiting is useless and induce them to also place
their orders at an early day.
THE OUTCOME DUBIOUS.
The Old Situation or Slany Weeks Past Pre
vails at St. Louis.
SPECIAL TELECRiMTO TKE DISPATCH.l
St. Louis, April 10. Rogers, Brown &
Meacham say: The same situation prevails in
thts market tbat has existed for some time.
Sales for the past week were limited both in
number and size. Consumers seem to have a
lair supply to their requirements, which in
themselves are not large. As to the outlook, it
is difficult to determine just what the outcome
will be, bnt the scarcity of Southern iron and
the unwillingness on the part of the furnaces to
shade prices seems to point to a stiifer market
in the near future. We quote for cash f. o. b.

N'o Improvement Perceptible In the mar

TSPKCIAL TELKGRAH TO TUE DISPATCH.!
Cincinnati, April 10. Rogers, Biown Co.
say: The past week has been only a repetition
of the one preceding. The general conditions
of the market are unchanged, and in view of
the unsettled state of labor no marked degree
of improvement can be expected this month.
If tbe miners' strike does not take place on
May 1 it is hoped tbat business will revive. It
is evident that the furnaces do not intend to
accumulate stocks of iron to glut the market,
for tbe indicated capacity of coke furnaces
now in blast is only about half what, it was iu
December last.
A number of consumers have been making
inquiries for extended deliveries, but only a
limited quantity of iron has been placed.
Prices remain the same as last teck.

THE KITCHEN MABKET.
Butter and Egcs Lower and Meats of All
Kinds Advancing.
In the line of market basket tilling butter
and eggs are lower than last week, while meats
and poultry show an inclination to go up
higher. Lake salmon are in fair supply, and
demand is good. Mackinac trout are on the
stalls, for the first tlmo this season, within tho
past week. Of Eastern fish, shad are in fair
tupply, but high in pries. Oysters Kill be at an
end next week. Home-raised vegetables will be
nearly a month later this season than tbe aver
age year, owing to adverse weather. Neville
island gardeners report a very backward sea
son. March furnished very few suuny days,
such as producers of earlv garden stuff most
earnestly long for. In ordinary seasons a fair
supply of home-raised garden stuff is to be had
in the early part of April. But so far little or
none has been offered. Florists report active
demand for their products.

THE
HINTS TO BUILDERS.
Land Companies and Their Methods
Briefly Considered.
HOW TO HANDLE ACREAGE.
Eeport That Mr. Westinshouse Has Issued
a Circular in Kew York.
OFFICE AND STREET NEWS AXD GOSSIP
There are a number of land companies in
this city operating under a number of meth
ods, and alter an existence of one to three
years, The Dispatch may be pardoned for
venturing an opinion as to which of the
plans of operation have been the most suc
cessful. There are three distinct features in
the plotting and selling of land, two of
which have been notably successful, while
the third seems to be antagonized by the re
deeming features of the other two and there
by suffers.
The most popular one for the masses, and
the one that brings most money in the short
est space of time, is the purchase ai.d plot
ting of acreage and its sale on the install
ment plan. Thousands of lots have been
sold in. the suburbs within the past three
years on monthly payments of 55 on a lot
that cost from 5150 to $300. and" they have
been paid for as well as purchased. A lot
at this price, on these terms, and within the
city limits, is just what the mechanic and
workincman wants, and he buys it and
pays for it without realizing that he has
made any sacrifices, whereas if he had
to pay one-third cash and the balance
in one and two years he would not buy at all.
Manv persons who never bad a thouebt of own
ing their own home have been struck with the
advantages this method offers, and they in
vested for the future Unfortunately this class
of property at these prices has been practically
abiorbed and sola off.
The next most popular plan is, the plotting of
land and tbe erection of bouses. It has been
very profitable to capitalists and very accept
able to people in tbe middle walks of life. Very
neat, substantial houses with nice lots have
been put on the market at from S5.000 to 58,000
each, aud sold on-cash payments of S50O to 81,000,
balance on long time, with Interest and Insur
ance clauses. Everything of this kind that has
been offered for sale has been sold, and the de
mand has been greater than the supply. This
plan differs from the other in only one particu
lar, it takes more money to operate, and capi
talists so operating are looking more to interest
on money invested than to principal.
The third plan is the purchase and plotting
of high-priced ground and the sale of ft in the
regular wav, one and two years, with one-third
cash. These lots must be sold for SSOO to 81,000
each. They are too high for a poor man and
too cheap tor the rich, and the middleman,
always the most critical, is afraid of the neigh
boihood. These lots sell, hut tbey drag, and
the final outcome is not satisfactory. It the
second plan could be followed so as to embrace
five-roomed bouses-at a cost for lot and house
of, say, 52,000. there would be a larce fortune
iu it for the " projector. A nice five-roomed
house, with front and rear porches, hall, etc.,
can be built for $1,500. This, on a lot costing
S150. leaves a profit of EiJO.or about 20 per cent,
to the builder.
Business News and Gossip.
Building operations in the suburbs have been
resu med, and a large number of houses are be
ing hurried to completion.
Of the oO houses just finished by Mr. Charles
Lockbart, on Dinwiddio street, 48 have been
rented and occupied.
An entire block on Smitbfield street, below
Diamond, is on the market, or rather would be
if a buyer were to come along.
The statement that tho Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company had purchased the Blair
Iron Works property, at Glenwood, turns out
to be correct. It rounds out their former pur
chase at tbe same place.
There is a profusion in the Pittsburg mar
kets of nearly all the spring luxuries. They
come from the South. The local supply will
be late, owing to the backward season.
The Calvary Seminary deal is still In sus
pense owing to a difference of opinion in regard
to value, which Is likely to be bridged over in
a short time.
The largest of 32 mortgages on file yesterday
was for JlS,00a Each of 14 was for less than
81.000.
If Mr. Westingbouse has issued a statement,
as reported, tbo electric muddle will soon be
cleared up. The rumor that the control of the
company bad passed out of his hands was not
verified.
According to a statement of the directors the
indebtedness of the Philadelphia Company has

HOME SECURITIES.
A Report Obtains Currency That Mr. Wost
inghonse Has Issued a Circular Ig
norance of the Contents of the
Document Causes a Halt.
A fair volume of business was transacted in
local stocks yesterday. Strong Eastern mar
kets were the inspiring factors; -There were
no depressing influences. Local buying orders
were reported comiug out quite liberally, show
ing awakening interest in speculation. Total
sales were 590 shares, of which 200 were Elec
tric The latter closed at tbe lowest point.
What seemed to be a pretty well founded re
port obtained circulation in business circles. It
was to the effect tbat Mr. Westinghouse had
jnst issued a circular in New York, detailing
his procedure in negotiating the sale of the
preferred stock of the company of which he
is tbe head and announcingtbathehad secured
all the money necessary to meet existing
claims.
At the office of tbe company it was tacitly
admitted that such a document had been put
out. This was accompanied by the statement
that It would not reach Pittsburg before Mon
day. If it was issued yesterday it is quite prob
able tbat it will be hero to-day. A delay until
Monday could oocur only through design.
Brokers generally gave credence to the re
port that a statement of some kind bad been
made, but none of them had any definite idea
of its contents. Their opinions were largely
conjectural, and in the absence of positive
knowledge they were reluctant about express
ing opinions. Some regarded the claim of a
successful issue as plausible and probable,
while others were disposed to think tho docu
ment treated Electric negotiations as a side
issue, and dwelt upon a matter of far more im
portance in its results as affecting tbe control
of tbe company.
Owing to tho uncertainty as to the contents
of the circular neither Boston-nor Pittsburg
evinced a disposition to do much in the stock.
There the hichest was 14, the lowest 13 and
tbo closing 13. Here the highest sale was
IVi, and the lowest 13. The close was 13.
There were no material changes iu tbe rest of
the list. There were buyers for Philadelphia
Gas and it sold up to 11, and finished on a bid
of 11. The Tractions were rather more prom
inent than usual in the bidding, and Pleasant
Valley was a trifle stronger. The others ad
hered to the previous day's quotations. Luster
moved up a fraction, but the rest of the miners
were featureless. Switch and Signal closed a
good fraction better than the opening. Sales
were:

One Sale of Oil Saves tho Market From
Utter Stagnation.
Half a loaf is better than no bread. So, on
the same principle, the sale of 3,000 barrels of
oil yesterday was that much better than noth
ing. The market opened at 73c This was also
the highest and lowest. The close was 73c At
Oil City the May option was bid up to 74c,but
it did not hold.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
The Gould and the Atchison Shares the
Most Prominent Features in an Active
Market General Advances Fol
lowed by a Reaction.
New York, April 10. In the stock market
points were freely distributed to buy tbe Gould
stocks this morning, and those shares, espe
cially Missouri Pacific, were more prominent in
the market than for some time, though the
cause ot the prominence of Missouri Pacific
was to bo sought elsewhere. Reports were
freely circulated that Mr. Gould, while in St.
Louis, had made arrangements by which closer
relations were to be established between the
Missouri Pacific and the Atchison, and those
stocks became the leading features of the day,
both for strength and activity. They were,
however, the only ones in which the buying
was at an remarivaoie, anu it was evident mat
while tbo bull leaders might not be looking for
a reaction there was a willingness to let tho
market take Its own course for a time.
There was, especially iu tbe early trading,
heavy selling for the long account, and much of
It was belieyed to be for the account of the
bulls, Chicago being credited with most of the
sales in the Grangers. Tbe commission buy
ing, however, was excellent, and, as the temper
of the room was not positively reactionary, the
strength of the list prevented any material de
cline outside of the Industrials, Chicago Gas
and Sugar each dropping away over 1 per cent,
though each rallied smartly later in the day. .The
sellingfor London account, howeve.and tbe im
pression that there would be further orders of
pold for export this morning, which was fully
justified by the event, gave a heavy appearance
to tbe opening. The concessions in the active
stocks, however, were in all cases insignificant,
and even after the announcement of the gold
engagements there was no real weakness in tho
list.
The stubborn resistance to the realizations,
and tbe efforts to force a decline, gradually de
veloped a positive strong tone, and iu the after
noon increased animation was accompanied by
a general upward movement all along tbe line,
in which even Northern Pacific preferred was
one of the most prominent stocks. The extent
of the advance, however, was generally for
fractional amounts, and Its value was seen in
its uniformity rather than 'in the wide fluctua
tions of a few stocks, and the steadiness of tbe
upward movement gave the advocates of
higher prices renewed confidence tbat tbe long
expected boom has arrived.
The afternoon advance, however, was fol
lowed by a vigorous attack upon tbe list, which
in some cases, especially Burlington and Rock
Island, wiped out most of the former improve
ment. It was an organized attempt to take
advantage of the gold shipment, and in a
measure was suocessf ul, at the final changes in
the list are geneially small fractional losses
from last night's figures. Among lbs special
ties, Flint aud Pere Marquette, Brunswick and
Chicago and East Illinois were prominent for
strength, but the majority shows small trai sec
tions aftid narrow movements. The market
finally closed quiet and fairly steady at insig
nificant changes from first prices. Tbe only
SATUEDAT." -APRIL 11,
change of importance was a net advance of W,
per cent in Atchison.
Railroad bonds were quiet, but displayed a
firmer tone tban for some time, and the im
provement in the bond list is one of tbe in
fluences which serve to sustain pnees of stocks
to-day against the pressure which was brought
to bear. The list, as usual, however, failed to
score any marked advance, though tbo Atchi
son issues were especially active. Tbe late
dealings brought weakness, and a portion of the
improvement was lost, as In shares. The sales
reached 1,296,000. The general movement was
upward, and South Carolina incomes advanced
from 24J to 2K. but closed at 25. The other
iSMies laded to'develop any feature of interest.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Supply of eggs is more than enough for all
demands, and prices are steadily drifting lower.
Prospects are1 that eggs will sell at lc apiece
early next week. Country butter is also com
ing in more freelyand prices are findlngalower
level, as our quotations will disrloSe. High
grade cheese, both domestic and Swiss, is very
firm at quotations, firm enough to go up higher
before many days. Vegetables of all kinds are
quiet, with onions as the exception to the rule.
Potatoes are barely steady at old prices. In
tropical fruit lines demons are active and firm
at the advance lately noted, while oranges and
bananas are quiet and slow, principally on ac
count of low quality of offerings. Poultry Is
as it has been for a week past, scarce and firm.

Groceries.
The situation in this line is unchanged. Pros
pects are good for an early advance on some
grades of sugar, owing to scarcity. Refineries
are unable to fill orders. Dealers, however, are
selling at the rates fixed on April I. Coffees
are weak at the late decline. Other staples are
unchanged. General groceries are moving

Many Fluctuations In Wheat, Bears Having
a Slight Advantage at the Close Corn
and Oats Open Weak,
but Close Stronger.
CHICAGO There were many sensational
transformations in the appearance of the
wheat deal in the course of to-day's session, but
the advantage was in the end slightly in favor
of the bear party. Tbero was a hard and de
termined struggle against the tendency given
by tbe tone of tbe greater number of the day's
dispatches, which was in favor of the bulls, but
the foundation of all tbe bullish items was the
foreign demand, and that was vory much
weakened by lower closing cables. Corn was
firm, after a momentary weak spell atthe open
ing, and closed about c improvement on yes
terday's closing figures. Provisions were dull,
heavy and tending downward, closing with a
better tone, however, and pork and ribs at a
slight improvement upon yesterday's final
prices.
Tho scones in the wheat pit opened with bril
liant sunshine out of doors and a grand chorus
of sellers. Tbe first transactions were at about
ic below the closing price of the day before.
May started at 81 03?iI 03 and July at
81 2J1 V2.. In about Ave minutes from tho
start May was 81 04J and July SI 03. The local
weather was the paramount influence at first,
and very strong cable dispatches began to'exer
cise their power immediately thereafter.
From around SI 04 the advance to the high
point named was very rapid, and an equally
quick decline followed the receipt of lower
quotations by tbe afternoon cables. Some
shorts took bold at SI 03 and bought until tbe
price reacted to $1 03& for May, where tbey
dropped it and did not come to its aid until a
later wave of depression had carried it to
$1 03. Another reaction left Mav at 81 03JJ
and July, which was sold down to SI 02 once
more reacted and closed at SI 02.
The corn market was weak early on the Im
proved weather. The demand for supporting
feature of tbe legitimate situation and tbe
small quantity of contract corn is the perma
nently strong shape of the speculative side of
the deal. Opening price of May was 66Kc;a few
sales were made ar tfic, aud then a steady ad
vance to around b7jjjn commenced. A reaction
took prices to 65Jc, and a final upturn left the
Closing quotations at C7Je to oTJc.
Oats opened 8KC lower anu closed KKC
higher, after having fluctuated lc The market
was fairly active early, but the trading dragged
somewhat toward the close.
Tbe provision deal was weak at tho opening
and less active generally than of late, but was
firmer, with corn, later, and closed 2Jc lower
for May pork and unchanged for July. Lard
lost 5c, but ribs at the close bad improved 2c
to 5c since Saturday.
The leading futures ranged as iollows. as cor
