The article in this column of Monday's
DrsPATCn, reviewing some of the principal
jobbing industries of the city for the year
past, omitted, for want of space, a few in
dustries which, in their leading features,
are here presented.
Keports from wholesale dealers in the line
of woolens and tailors' trimmings indicate a
healthy trade for the year, with a very com
fortable increase on the business of last year.
One jobber reports an Increase of 50 per cent
on the value of sales as compared with 18S7.
The totals for the year's business in the whole
sale woolen and tailors' trimmings trade dia
not fall mnch below 5 1,000,000.
A large proportion of these pood have been
placed outside of the city, the trade reaching

cloth houses manage still to coutro! the bnlfct

goods bv samples. The home jobbers are
steadily gaining on this Eastern trade, but at
this aate foreitrn jobbers are placing at this
point some 52,000,000 worth of woolen goods,
against about one-half that amount sold by
home jobbers. And the bnlt of the home
jobbers' trade is away from home.
aiUXIXERT GOODS.
In the year past one of the wholesale dryeoods
houses of the city has dropped out of the job
bine millinery trade, and this has hronght in
creased business to the three firms now re
maining. A representative of one of these
firms reports an increased trade for 18S3 over
18S7ofS5per cent, and expresses the belief
that his competitors have shared equally with
his firm in this increased volume ot bnsinefs.
The value of the wholesale millinerv trade for
liS7as in round numbers. $1,500,000, anil for
the rear now clustng, is probably 300,000 above
tbis"flgure. At this time of the year, which is
between seasons, business is very slow. Job
bersaie now placing orders for Spring poods,
and their faith in a pood jear to rone is at
tested by the abundance of si ock for w hich pro
vision is now being made in "ew England and
abroad.
rum bees' supplies.
In the line of supplies for plumbers the rec
ord for 7SS8 is scarcely up to that of the two
previous years. Through these years an un
precedented stimulus wa given to the trade by
the extraordinary demand for natural gas fix
tares. It was not among fie probabilities that
this activity conld be maintained when the rush
1 or natural pas fixtures had subs.ded.
Another element which was injurious to
trade was the attempted pig lead corner, inau
gurated in the early part of the year. Though
the corner was a failure and resulted in the cor
iiprlnjx ot the man who attempted it, it had its
effect in tendin: pUr lead far above us intrinsx
valae,throughthespr.ngard summer. Plumbers
Tiurxued the hand to mouth policy, until the
middle of October, when the corner collapsed.
The midsummer trade was very poor because a
break was daily expei ted The value of tho
plumber snpolv trade fJF 18ST. was in7 round
numbers. $1,000 00"X Truth demands the state
ment that for ISSS there has been a decline from
this amount of 15 to 20 per cent.
TAIXTEES' SUPPLIES.
In the line of while lead and painters' sup
plies generally, the year's business has been
about a stand-off to that of the previous year.
The backward "spring delayed the painter's oc
cupation several wecLs beyond the average
time. The fall trade has not come up to ex
pectations. Cnt taL.ir.tr the year through deal
ers report a vo'ume ana value oi iraon miiy np
to lat year, w hich was one of the good J ears in
the history of this industry.
The totals for the white lead industry are in
round numbers 52,000,000. The trade in mixed
paints and other painters' supplies is almost
S2.000.000 mot In the year Ial7 the value of
this trade in Pittsburg is given in an old record
as $10,000. In 1S37 it had grown to 5200,003, and
in lio7 to fmOOO. With Sl.000.000 as the figures
for IsSS, it is evident that in painters' supplies
the city is keeping pace with other great indus
tries in the path v. ay of progress.
The total in 1SSS in hog products, according
to reliable estimates are 33,000.000 pounds. Tho
value of this industry is m round numbers
J3.OuO.CCKi. There has been a steady growth ot
the trade from year to year, with nothing akin
to a boom. The increase of the trade this year
over last has been 10 to 15 per cent in volume
and value. Pork packers and jobbers of bog
products are entirely comfortable over the sit
uation and outlook.
MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Wheat Active nnd Unsettled, Closing nt
SeinrdaU Price Corn and Oats Wenk

clining. Chicago, December 3L Wheat ruled fairly
active and unsettled. The rpening was strong,
and J-iSJc higher than Saturday's closing,
and with a continuation of the strength then
existing and good buying, a further advance of
1c was established. Later a weak feeling set
in, irflnenced by liberal offerings, due in part
to rumors that stocks in the United Kingdom
would be 4,000,000 bushels laiger tnan last year,
and another that stock in the United Kingdom,
on the continent and afloat, would be about 13.
000,000 bushels larger than a year ago. There
was considerable realizing by parties who had
bought jest previous to the recent advances,
Prices declined lc from the top and closed
about the same as Saturday.
Corn was moderately active, ruling firm eaily
and lower later. The market opened at Satur
day's closing prices ami gradually advanced
Jc. reacted Jcand closed 4& lower than
Saturday. There was a good demand lor Jan
uary early, and this had a strengthening in
fluence on the other futures. Oats were neak
and lower. There was an increased desire on
the part of some large holders to sell, one
operator disposing of about 1.000,000 bushels of
May at 28Jc Despite the heavy selling the
buying was good, especially from "shorts," and
prices declined only c, rallied slightly and
closed steady at JSc lower than Saturday.
Quite a good busiuesi was done in mess pork
at irregular prices. Early in the day the feel
ing was easy and prices declined 57wc Later
prices rallied 1012c but declined again 10
15c and closed comparatively steady. A de
cidedly weak feeling prevailed in lard, and
prices ruled decidedly lower about 50c for De
cember and 1015c on the longer deliveries.
The market closed rather tame. Trading was
moderately active in ribs, hut prices exhibited
little change.

ALL THE MEMBERS VERY HAPPY.
Astonishing Gain in Business as Shown by
The Clearing Honse.
0ILDQH FDENISEES SO BIG CHANGES
Talk about fun and frolic, about school
boy play, about riots, about staid business
men going mad, and it is not a marker to
the scenes at the Petroleum, Stock and
Metal Exchange yesterday. Pandemonium
and everything else seemed to be turned
loose, and when the fun was over the build
ing looked as if the fire department had
just got through quelling a dangrons con
flagration. Figures which meant millions
were swept off the board in a jiffy with
sponges and water bags; $50 and 560 suits
were ruined irrevocably; plug hats were
fixed beyond the benefit of ironing; derbies
were not worth a dollar a dozen; dudes
wished they had never lived, and every man
thanked heaven for an umbrella or a. gnm coat.
The fnn started in a very inauspicious way.
About 1:10 Mr. Gross came in shouting: "Let
us suspend the rules for smoking." So Presi
dent Stevenson took his place and was soon
surrounded by a big crowd. While all wanted
to smoke some tbonght it would be fun to cause
trouble and so v
OPPOSED THE MOTION
to suspend tho rules. There were viva voce
votes and votes by holding np hands and no
end of fnn, and the President finally said: "The
rules are suspended for smoking." Smoking
was all right, hut half an hour afterward there
was no smoking. It bad been decided
to have some fun. So a half dozen cotton bags
were stuffed with old rags, tomato cans, pota
toes, old hats and good and bad resolutions,
and impromptu water sacks became the order
of the day, replenished when necessary in the
wash room. Then several persons took posses
sion of the vantage ground, the galleries, and
were ready -to deal out vengeance and cold and
dirty water to those below. The first victim
was a pleasant old gentleman, who deals in
dollars as some people do in cents, and as he
came marching In. picking his teeth after hav
ing tasted sometbmgsweet in Goodwin's below,
he was bit square in the breast with a big sack
of water.
"I guess that will do me to-day," he said, as
he dashed .out the door.
"Soldf some one yelled.
"You are not mad, are your" said Holman to
him as he dashed out, Holman, by the way.
having taken np a position where he could not
be hit.
The messenger boys wonld expertly return to
the galleries the munitions which had been
shot from the galleries, when they could do so
before the floor warriors would get them to
fire at the gallery gods, so that there was no
cessation of the battle,
HIS INQTJIET ANSTVEKED.
"This is an outrage. Where's the Floor Com
mittee?" asked one member of the Exchange
as he marched boldly in.
"Ob, it's here, snre enough," shouted half a
dozen, and in a moment the inquiring member
was seeking refuge behind the New York stock
bulletin board.
Even President Stevenson had to get it. He
was taking a look around the ball ring when
he was hit with a stuffed water club, and his
hat knocked off his head. Then a water sack
caromed off his breast, and it was decided that
he had had enough.
"There's the dence to pay in oil." said a mem
ber to two young gentlemen who marched up
with high silk hats on.
"Is that so ?" they replied, and dashed in to
ward the ring.
"I saw it first" and "It's mine" were the
greetings they received, and in less than half a
minute the plug hats looked like a waste paper
basket. One man tried to brave the ordeal
by hoisting an umbrella, but to-day that
.umbrella wonld not be of any nse even
if it was raining dried oak leaves. Captain
Barbour went around with a cream colored bat
on bis head. As the captain is averse to
stimulants the members thought a little water
on the outside would be the proper caper, and
they gave him a bath occasionally. Several
wanted to get a shot at H. M. Long.but he kept
out of the way. So the fun went on until the
time for call came but this did not help mat
ters much. Mustin found himself looking into
the inside of his hat, and Gross and Holman
kept up such a racket that
EVERYBODY BECAME HILARIOUS
and the members began to smash each others
hats and the next moment go into a hugging
match. What had been stand up collars, were
now tum downs, and very far turn downs or
spreads at that.
As very little business could be done
speeches were called for and some of the most
popular tried to say something pleasant, but
their remarks were inaudible, and after a series
of hilarious yells the members went below to
Goodwin's, where a banquet had been spread.
There "they enjoyed pheasants and turkey,
boned ham and boneless ham, prairie chicken
and fish house punch, so strong that it made
old-timers .wince egg nogg and lobster and
chichen salads, choice salmon, and no end of
other good things. It would be difficult to And
a happier sctof men) esterday afternoon than
the members of the Pittsburg Exchange and
their actions evidently meant satisfaction with
this year's business.

CHAKTIERS IS BOOHING.
Ttemarknble Business for a Time on the
Stock Exchnngo Yesterday.
The features on the Stock Exchange yester
day were the boom of the Charticrs stock and
the trading in particular lines. Chartiers stock
as will be seen by the figures of call jumped
away up, and went to 5 and it was recorded
that a bid of 56 was made for it. It is expected
that this stock, considering the advantageous
conditions, will go very high before long.
Philadelphia also shows that it is no laggard.
The sales yesterday moraine were: Westinir.
,houso Electric, 50 at 3 160 at 35, 10 at 35!

delphia, 100 at 3 60 at 39; Westinghouse
Electric, 10 at 3j& Private 'sales were: 150

It will be seen that there was a great deal of
trading, and some fun is looked for when the
Excbango begins business again. The two calls
were as follows:

$92,837,004: fl, otoi those of 1SS7. This is con

good. The exchanges yesterday were S2.S50,
013 61 and the balances $386,177 17. The other

What the Record for OH Clearance! Showed
Ilere Teitrrdny.
A "bulletin at the Petroleum Exchange yes
terday seemed to give much encouragement to
the oil brokers. It read: "Total clearances
for year 1888. 983.369,000; average monthly clear
ances, 81,470.000; averago daily clearances.
8,224.(100." J
'Thar is the biggest average of clearances
since 1684," said one centleman. A comparison
of figures gave the following result: 1884. aver
age daily clearances. 13.939 000; 1885,2.610,000:
1886, 2,704,000: 18S7, 1,980,000. This may account
for tho way some brokers acted yesterday.
They Gnvo Credit to Cbnplin.
At the close of the morning session of the
Clearing Honse yesterday Manager Chaplin

With the exception of the first two days
when business was almost entirely suspended
at the timo of the blizzard, to-day was in all
probability the dullest full day of the year,
and only in tho first hour and again in the last
hour was there anything like animation shown
in the market. At the same time the general
belief in a better time coming after the first pi
the now year led to some buying, 'and the tone
of the dealings was firm almost throughout the
day. Absolutely no news of a character to
effect prices was received during the day,
but London camp higher this morning and
was a purchaser of a few stocks at the open
ing, which induced some covering of shorts,
and with the limited 'offerings this was suffi
cient to give a strong tone to the market, what
there was of it But there was less disposition
to trade than usual, even among the traders,'
and the position tor most of the day was simply
a standoff between the opposing forces, result
ing in a stagnant and utterly uninteresting
market Some little demonstration was made
by the bears and efforts were made to utilize
the high rates for money prevailing, which
reached to 10 per cent at' the close, but late in
the day thero was -a marked increase in the
cumber of buying orders, and New England,
the Coalers and the Northern Pacifies led a
fractional upward movement '
Opening figures were from KX percent
above Saturday's dosing, but dullness set in
Immediately and ras unable to bold up to tbe
opening figures. Tbe movement, however, was
for insignificant fractions only.and soon ceased
altogether after the early losses had been re
gained. The market then remained stagnant
on a constantly decreasing volnm of business
until the last hour, though Philadelphia Oas
rose sharply 2 per cent and afterward lost a
portion of the improvement Oregon Trans
continental. Lackawanna and New England
developed marked activity and strength, and
tbe rest of the list followed, although in no
case did the advance equal 1 per cent The
movement was short, but the market closed
firm though dull at fractional advances for the
day. The final changes are generally fraction
al, but tbe last spurt carried several stocks up
materially. Delaware and Hudson rose 1,
Lake Erie nnd Western preferred 1 and Ore
gon Transcontinental, Reading and Philadel
phia Gas eath I per cent
The railroad bond market was in close sym
pathy with, the share list and was dull and
generally firm with little or nofeatnreof im
portance. The sales of all issnes reached JS77,-
