THE IAKKET BASKET.
Demand for Game on the Wane, and
a Fair Week's Trade Reported
AT THE FISH AXD OYSTER STALLS.
Poultry Scarce and Higher and Butter and
Eggs Drooping.
A LA5D0FFICE TRADE IN FLOWEES
Office of the Pittsburg Dispatch, J
Fkiday, January 4, 188S. J
Both jobbers and retailers of fruit and
vegetables report very quiet trade for the
past week.
Said a leading dealer in materials for
market basket filling: "We do not often
hare as dull a -week as this has been. Our
customers are evidently using upthe fragments
left over from holiday dinners. Working peo
ple do not buy freely, as the last pay was used
up for Christmas doings, ana the next is more
than a -week in the future. Capitalists are also
waiting for January dividends. And so trade
is always slow at this season." ,
At the fish and ovster stalls a fair week s
trade is reported. Prices are firm. Choice
stock is in good demand. Trade was slow at
at the middle of the week,butisreoyenng,
and activity is promised for the wind-up.
Taking the week through trade has been better
than generally expected by fish and oyster
dealers on the heels of the holiday boom.
Ponltrv is scarce and firm at prices above
tboso which ruled on Christmas week.
Butter nnd Ece Keep Cp.
The drift of eggs and butter is downward.
As retail dealers did not reap any particular
benefit from high prices of creamery butter
which prevailed for a very short time last
month, so they have rot had the same neces
sity to drop prices as jobbers in the present
downward markets.
The tide already begins to ebb in the demand
for game. Last week was the best of the sea
son in this line. Game is no longer in as large
supply and variety, nor is the demand as good
as a week ago. Consumers give signs of re
turning to the old staples to be found at butch
er's stalls.
Florists report a very satisfactory trade for
the week. Prices have been materially reduced
from those obtained during the rush of Christ
mas week.
Said a prominent florist: -Our trade this
week has been immense. I have never seen it
better. Ve are slow getting there, but we are
there at last, and the trade situation in our
line is in splendid shape, with an outlook that
promises one of the best seasons on record."
Following arc the latest retail prices for mar
ket basket filling:

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Mysterious Movements in the Wheat Market
Cnnse n Drop In Prices Corn and Onta
Quiet Pork Active and Unsettled Lard
Steady.
Chicago It was one of those markets
again which operators in wheat could
not decipher. The action of some large oper
ators was mysterious and misleading, and while
fluctuations were not wide, the feeling never
theless was unsettled. Most of tbe trading was
on local account. The opening was about the
same as yesterday's closing, and under free
speculative offerings prices declined 1c The
selling was attributed to a prominent local
trader, but at tbe decline, or about 51 04 for
May, there appeared to be an active demand,
and although that figure was touched nearly
half a dozen times, and once went just barely
below, tbe demand was sufficient to prevent
any further shrinkage. The buying appeared
to be quite scattered, and under a steady de
mand just before 1 o'clockprices again touched
outside figures, closing steady and about JjC
lower than yesterday.
Corn ruled exceedingly quiet; in fact the
market was quite dull the entire session, fluctu
ations being within a very narrow range, and
transactions limited exclusively to room trad
ers. Tbe feeling was comparatively steady,
and at the close the leading futures were a
trifle higher than the closing prices of yester
day. Oats were quiet and steady most of the morn
ing. After midday offerings for May delivery
suddenly increaed. several large operators
Belling freely. The Milwaukee bull party were
also credited with unloading. This caused gen
eral sellinc by "long," and prices quickly de
clined Hfic and brought a good many "stop
order" holdings. At the bottom "shorts" be
gan to cover and a small rally followed, tbe
market closing steady at slightly below yester
day's last sales. The near futures were quiet
and easier.
A good trade was reported in mess pork, but
fluctuations in prices were frequent, though
confined within a comparatively narrow ranee.
The market opened at Yesterday's" closing fig
ures, and prices rallied 57c Later a reduc
tion of 1012$c was submitted to, owing to
slightly increased offerings. During the latter
part of the session the feeling was firmer and
? rices advanced 2530c, with moderate trading,
he market closed comparatively steady.
Trading was ouly moderate in lard and a
steadierleeling prevailed. Prices ruled 1012Hc
higher on the whole range, and tbe market
closed steady at outside figures.
A fairly active trade was reported in short
ribs. The feeling was firmer and prices ruled
67ic higher, and tbe market closed steady at
outside figures.

A TERT MD POLICY
Said to be Pursued by Pittsburg
Building Contractors.
THE STANDARD'S SDPPLE HAND
Becognized in the Anomalous Condition of
the Petroleum Market.
MOYEJIENTS IN STOCKS AND BEALTI
"From my point of view contractors are
discouraging rather than stimulating build
ing operations," said a gentleman yester
day. He gave his reasons thus: "I am pre
paring to build several houses on the South
side. My estimate of the co'st.making liberal
allowance for everything used in their con
struction, is $15,000. The lowest bid of a
contractors 518,000, and the highest $24,000.
These estimates are not warranted by the sit
uation. Material and labor are relatively cheap.
I don't feel like building at these figures."
The same complaints of exorbitant estimates
of contractors were encountered in other direc
tion. Alt agreed that the cost of building, in
most cases, was entirely too high, and that if
continued a great many improvements would
be postponed if not altogether abandoned.
'This is a bad policy," said one gentleman.
"Contractors are standing in their own light.
They are cnppling their own business. By
making reasonable prices they would encour
age building operations and find plenty to do.
By a contrary policy they 'clip the wings of
progress' and enjoy the luxury of idleness a
good part of the time"
This is a matter of prime Interest to the pub
lic and the above hints are thrown out in the
hope that their pertinency will be realized at a
glance and that they may be the means of start
ing a much-needed reform.
There may be another side to the question,
something to justify the hich prices that rule
in Pittsburg and vicinity, but it is not appar
ent at this juncture. Ventilation of the sub
ject may result in bringing ont all the facts
and enlightening the public understanding on
a subject of vital interest.

the present. Philadelphia gas was the leading
feature, the sales of which were up to the aver
age. Traction was next in point of activity.
Buyers have about come to the conclusion that
prices are too high and are disposed to play a
waiting game to compel holders to moderate
their views. This is the opinion of a Fourth
avenue expert in tbe business. The drift of the
market is shown in the appended quotations:

AT THE BANKS.
The Supply of Money Lnrco Eoonsh
to
Meet All Demands
"Everything is moving along nicely, better
than at the same time last year," was the bur
den ot the news in banking circles yesterday.
January disbursements will soon begin to affect
the market, but not to tho extent of changing
the rates of Interest, which still rule at 6 per
cent in most places, the only exceptions being
first-class collateral, which is accepted at 5.
Counter business was brisk, the balances be
ing largely in favor of the banks. There was
no special demand for exchange. The Clear
ing House statement showed transactions above
the average, the exchanges being S2.442.534 55
and tho balances 5408,048 85. There was no spe
cial movement of currency in any direction.

OIL STILL DROPPING.'
The Standard Manipulating n. Deal That
Minifies Locnl Operators.
There was decidedly more wind than business
at the Oil Exchange yesterday. The great aim
of tho operators was to hold up the market and
prevent a disastrous break. A bullish influ
ence was noticeable at th e opening, but real
izing in New York and Philadelphia soon had
the desired effect, and prices quicklv weakened-
From that time on until the close tbe
course of tho market was downward, despite
spasmodic attempts to reverse the situation.
The market is now practically controlled by
the Standard, and until it steps out ot the way
there can be no general improvement. Just
what it is up to is a matter of uncertainty, but
as it is always bearish, it is safe to say that at
present the prospect of a boom is not very Bat
tering. There was no heavy trading. Field
news was unimportant. Carrying rates were
unchanged except at Oil City, where 30c was
the rule. Here the market opened 87c; high

SEAL ESTATE TEANSEEES.
A Number of Sales Consummated
and
Others on the StrUtf.
Real estate- dealers at least many of them
are too busy squaring np monthly and quarterly
rents to devote much attention to other busi
ness. It is a gratifying fact that tenants, in
almost all cases, are squaring up promptly.
The number of transfers reported yesterday
was smaller than usual. Several dealers re
ported progress in 'some big transactions that
will come to a head in a short time Buyers
continue to complain of high prices.
Tbe sales consummated include: Black &
Baird, for Mrs. R. J. Jlardie, to Dennis Crow
ley, lot No. 27 in the Hardio plan in Oakland,

depth to Hardio alley, $675; also, to William

Esq., to A. C. Watkins, about two acres of
ground, fronting 318 feet on Pennsylvania
Railroad, and extending from Summerlea to

00U. A fine building will be erected on the
grounds in the spring.
John F.Baxter sold lot No. Ill, Bank of

A LOCAL PECULIARITY.
One Respect In Which Pittsburg Differs
From Other American Cities.
Every city has characteristics that are pecu
liar to itself. Pittsburg is not an exception.
One of these is so prominent as to attract the
attention of a stranger almost at first glance.
It is the almost total absence of residence facil
ities in the business parts of the city. In other
places it is usual for the upper floors or the
rear portions of business houses to be occu
pied by families. This results, probably, from
the absence of suburban attractions. Here
the contrary is tho case. Business and the
family are seldom conjoined. This is notably
true of Fifth avenue Wood, Smithfleld and
Liberty streets, tho principal business thor
oughfares. Thero are exceptions, of course,
but they only prove the rule.
Everybody lives in the suburbs the beauty
of which is so conspicuous as to have received
unstinted praise trom more than one distin-
f;uished foreigner. Of the two systems the
atter is clearly the better, as well in point of
comfort as of health. The more complete the
divorcement between business and tbe family
the better. Builders shonld keep this fact in
view, and not seek to check the impulse that is
fast peopling tbe country districts.
BEAKS SET THE PACE.
They Manipulate Stocks to Suit Their Own
Particular Views.
New Yore, January 4. The Stock market
again showed evidence of the apathy or timidity
of the advocates of higher prices, and while
fairly active was somewhat feverish. The in
terest in the speculation was confined through
out to a few of the leading shares which con
tributed over three-fourths of the entire busi
ness done. The bears, as usual of late, had the
making of quotations almost entirely in their
own hands, and the operations of the day were
nearly all for tbe purpose of covering a line of
shorts by some of the most influential operators
on the bear side.
First prices were firm at slight advances over
last night's figures, and some slight farther im
provement was made in the early trading. Tbe
list was sqon brought down to a shade below
the opening, though Jersey Central continued
on its upward course, but it was not until after
11 o'clock that positive weakness was de
veloped, when Lackawanna took tbe lead in tbe
decline. Missouri Pacinc and Bt. Paul af tor
ward joined, and prices were at their lowest at
about 12:30. From that time there was a steady
improvement in values, and Union Pacific be
came most prominent in tbe advance, but was
followed by all the rest, and the market finally
closed quiet bnt firm generally at about tbe
best figures of tbe day. Very few final declines
were recorded, but the advances are confined
to fractional amounts only.
Railroad bonds wtre nulet. the sales of all
issues reaching only Jl.lPO.uOO. out of which the
Green Bay incomes furnished $123,000. The lat
ter were tbe feat ires of the day by reason of
their extreme weakness, and from 24 last
evening they fell to 18, a loss of 6 per cent. The
Denver and Rio Grande Western firsts were
the only otber marked feature, but they were
very qniet while positively strong, and scored
an advance of 5. Tbe marked advances

TTAISIDE NOTES.
Brokers expect a boom in mining stocks
this year. They have been neglected for some
time.
It is thought in business circles that the Leg
islature will come to the relief of the Bank of
Pittsburg by passing a general law. There
seems no other way out of tbe difficulty.
Dividends have been declared nytbe Iron
and Glass Dollar Savings Bank and the Bir
mingham and Pittsburg Bridge Company, the
former 4 per cent, semi-anunal, and the latter
$2 50 a share on six months' earnings.
Standing committees of the Pittsburg Ex
change, as announced by the Board of Direct

OFFICE OF THE PITTSBT7BO DISPATCH, )
Fbiday, January 4, 1839.
Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
The supplies pf country butter are large and
prices drooping. High prices of creamery last
month have resulted in bringing large quanti
ties in from rural districts, and it requires a
gilt edge article of country rolls to bring 20c at
jobbing rates. Eggs are still slow; markets be
ing in buyers' favor, the trade Is very particu
lar to get a fresh article. Apples decay very
rapidly such weather as we have been having
of late, and holders are heavy losers. A heavy
dealer reports that he would be glad to part
with hi3 entiro stock of apples at a considera
ble loss. The following items on the cheese
question were communicated to N. J. Braden
from the New York correspondent: The visi
ble supply of cheese at the world's principal
distributing centers Januaiy 1, 1SS6, was 930,214
boxes; January 1, 1887, 686,461; January 1, 1888,
834,185; January 1, 1889, 755,136. It appears from
this that the supply is 79,049 boxes less, than
this time last year. Ruling prices are the same
now at New York as a year ago, namely 12c per
pound. Two years ago prices were 13c, supplies
that year being the smallest for the four years
past. On January 1, 1886, when the visible sup
ply was largest in the four years, prices were

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Total receipts bulletined at the Grain Ex
change were 23 cars. By Pittsburg, Cincinnati
and St. Louis, 3 cars of flour, 2 of bay, 3 of corn,
2 of bran, 1 of oats. By Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne
and Chicago. 3 cars of corn, 1 of feed, 1 of oats,
3 of flour. By Pittsburg and Western, 3 cars of

clover hay, $13 25, 10 days. The attendance at
the Exchange to-day was better than for sev
eral weeks past, and a better feeling prevailed
among operators. Heavy receipts tend to hold
markets down, and buyers want concessions on
quotations. Sellers, however, are not disposed
to concede. Prices of barley show drooping
tendencies. Holders of Lake Shore barley are
not, from present outlook, likely to obtain
again as good offers for their stuff as it would
have commanded a few days ago. They would
be glad to-day to take prices that were refused
a week or two ago. While cereal markets are
still slow, the tone Is better, and trade will no
doubt be lively after January settlements.

TIMATENIS TET IN TE0UBLE.
His Bondsman Gives Him Up Jast oi His
Case Begun to Look Brighter.
SFTCIAI, TXLXGBAX TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, Jannary 4. The case of
Telemaque Timayenis, author of "The
Original Mr. Jacobs," is closing much less
dramatically than it opened. -Mrs. Dick
son, whose husband accused him of appro
priating her share of a publishing com
pany's profits, testified to-day that she never
read the papers she signed upon entering
the publishing company in question. She
could not say whether she had agreed to
give Mr. .Timayenis one-half or all the
profits of the business.
Just as Mr. Timayenis thought his oppo
nents to be on the ragged edge of a non-suit,
his bondsman turned the tables by surren
dering him with the notice that he was con
vinced of Timayenis' gnilt. The case rested
while Timayenis' lawyer looked up another
bondsman for him.
