Growth of Demand, for Typewriters
Edison's Invention
PROMISES TO EKLARGE THEIR USE.
lincle Sam's Trade With Pittsburg Mer
chants Healthy,
AND 0PS WELL FOE THE NEW TEAE
Office of the PrrrsBCBG Dispatch,
Monday, January 7, 18S9.
There are now in active use in Pittsburg
and Allegheny about 1,000 typewriters. A
half-dozen years ago this labor-saving ma
chine was little used except by professional
men. Since that time it has been growing
steadily in favor with business men, until a
typewriter has become a recognized necessity
in tbe appointments of offices where business
transactions are large.
An interview with Mr. A. Martin, the agent
o the Remington typewriter for the recion of
which Pittsburg is the center, developed the
fact that the year past lias been one of the best
in sales of typewriters. Said Mr. Martin: "Our
sales for the past sir years have showed an in
crease each year of from 25 to 33 per cent, and
1SS8 shows no decline. An attempt has been
made in the past year to bring the public to see
the advantage of a typewriter to the borne, ana
a few families of the citv now have tbem in use
in place of tbe old-rashioned method of writing
bvpen. We have 6trong confidence that the
time is not far away "when the typewriter will
be in general use by families, as it is already
generally adopted in offices."
rnoKOGRArHS a-d tttewbiters.
In response to an inquiry as to the effect of
the phonograph on typewriters. Mr. Martin
said in substance: "We have not yet noticed
anv effect on the sale of typewriters by the
phonograph. There is hardly time, as the
phonograph has not yet come into practical
use. What revolutions in business habits may
be made by the phonograph, of coarse, it is
impossible to foretell. The greater its success,
howcter, the greater will be the stimulus to
typewriters. The typewriter must be a neccs
sarv accompaniment of tbe phonograph, and
the'more tbe latter is adopted by our business
men the greater will be tbe demand for tbe
typewriter. The problem is by no means solved
as to the adaptation of the phonograph to
business, and in its present status I have no
fears that it will do any damage to the stenog
rapher'f. ocenpation. or that it will affect the
demand f or t pewriters in any other way than
to stimulate it. At uresent, however, he would
be a raMi man who vould venture to tell what
revolutions will be broucbt about in business
methods bv Edison's new invention. I will be
able to talk more intelligently on this matter a
few months hence."
CUSTOM HOUSE TRADE.
A visit to Uncle Sam's warehouse, on the
corner of Fenn avenue and Garrison alley, de
veloped the fact that the ycarlSSS had been the
best j ear in volume ot goods imported by mer
chants. The year 16S7 made so good a record,
and the first half of 18SS so poor a one. that up
to midsummer the prospect of keeping up the
record was by no means flattering.
Now, that the returns for the year are all in,
it appears that the value of goods received
through the cntom house this year is an ad
vance on last Through the fall months receipts
were larger than they had ever been for those
months. December showed a decided falling
off in volume, as it alvrajs does in the few
weeks preceding holidays. Holiday importa
tions close up in the latter part of November.
Since that time custom house business has
been quiet.
In the past few dars there has been a decided
improvement, as invoices for spring roods al
ready becin to come in quite lively. The Dis
patch rcnorted four months ago that all signs
pointed to the conclusion that at the year's
windnp lbSS would show the largest volume of
business through the custom house of Pitts
burg that has been done since the privilege
was first granted to our merchants to clear
poods at home. Secretary Keating justifies
this prophecy to-day bv the statement that last
j ear shows the heaviest volume of trade in the
history or the custom house, and adds that
tbe new year opens unusually bright.

A Rally In Wheat Giving to Shortage in the
Vislblo Supply Corn Quiet nud Ont

Chicago. January ".A moderate business
was transacted in wheat. The early feeling
was v eak, and prices declined c below the
closing figures of Saturday, but rallied c
later, and after some fluctuations closed about
c higher than Saturday. There were pretty
fair offerings early in the session, and operators
felt bearish. Even when tho visible supply
was announced, showing a decrease, the mar
ket sagged off a trifle. Bnt there was very
good baying around 1 01 and under for May,
and the decrease in the visible no doubt stimu
lated some buying, and a reaction of Jc fol
lowed, then sold off c again railed with some
fluctuations, this time selling to the outside
prices of tbe day. and the closing was steady.
There was some little outside business, and
some selling orders from millers in tbe North
west were received. While one large local trader
was credited ith being a free seller, others
were reported as being free Duyers.
In com the trading was again on the light
local order: little interest manifested in tbe
market tbe entire session. Fluctuations were
limited to iQi. The market opened at about
Saturday's closing prices and at the close
showed Kc advance.
In oats a fair volume of business was Iran',
acted, especially during the latter part of the
session. Early the market was quiet and easy.
later the strength and advances in wheat in
duced buyers to take hold moderately, and
prices for May advanced c, the market clos
ing steady
Tradmc was quite brisk in mess pork and al
most exclusively for May delivery. The market
opened rather firm at 15c advance and a
further appreciation of 1527Jc was gained.
Later prices settled back 7fcpl0c but rallied
quickly 1012Kc Near the close the market
was easier again at 710c decline and closed
quiet.
Quite a good speculative trade was reported
in lara and the feeling was stronger. Opening
sales were made at ofglOc advance, but a re
action of Sc was quickly submitted to. Later
the market showed more strength and prices
rallied 57c and closed comparatively steady
at medium ngures.
The mai ket for short ribs sides was moder
ately active and the feeling was stronger.
Prices were advanced 1015c and the market
closed comparatively steady.

THE
A SIGN. OF PROGRESS.
An Architectural Departure That
Prnmisps RnnH Kpsnlfs.
A PARALYTIC PETROLEUM MARKET
Gas Stocks Weak and Yery Slow, "With a
Slight Break in Philadelphia.
TARIFF YICT0ET BEGINNING TO TELL
The close observer cannot have failed to
notice the ornate style of architecture in
vogue this season. It is conspicuously
prominent along the line of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad as far out as Braddock.
Architects have no distinct name for it, bnt
say" it is the outgrowth of a demand for
something to break the monotony that is so
striking not to say wearisome in some of
the older parts of the city. But with or
without a name, it is very attractive, im
parting additional cfcanns to localities
already highly favored by nature. Ben
Venue, Shadyside, Roup, Dallas, "Wilkins
burg and other places that might be named
are already blossoming like the rose in archi
tectural ornament.
It is a composite style embodying the Gothic
the Saracenic and the Queen Anne One
architect described it as "Queen Anne run to
seed." Another called- it the American style.
That it suits the popular taste the frequency
with which it is encountered is sufficient proof.
It does not appear to add materially to tbe
cost of construction, while it certainly affords
advantages in the way of home comforts that
the plain or old-fashioned stylo does not
possess. Without indulging in nndue praise of
the new departure, it way be said of it that it
is a sign of progress in thehomelifeof the
people that is highly commendable in them,
and is also creditable to the architects whose
skill In blending old and new ideas in building
achieved so pleasing a combination.
AN OFF DAI IN STOCKS.
Gas Weaker, 3 ith a Break In Philadelphia
The Coarse of Prices.
The movement in coal stocks yesterday was
less pronounced than usual of late, but it was
up to expectation and not bad for a gloomy
Monday. There was a brisk demand for gas
shares, but prices were rather weak. The most
notable event of the day was a fractional break
in Philadelphia. Bank stock was again in de
mand, and also to a limited extent, electric and
traction. All in all the market lacked vim.
The total sales ag regated only 410 shares. Bids

WORKING A MTSTERT.
A Windy Day In OH, With a Break at the
Close.
Yesterday was a windy day at the Petroleum
Exchange. The pikers were in clover. They
took advantage of every fluctuation to buy or
sell. Some of them made handsome profits.
The market opened steady atS6K, an yt above
Saturday's close. Bullish advices soon sent tbe
price up to 86J. This was followed by a drop
to 86 and a quick reaction to 87 the highest
price of the day. Oil City then came prom
inently forward as a buyer and considerable
unloading resulted, which soon caused a break,
from which there was no recovery. The market
closed weak at 85.
'There were no special influences at work
other than noted. Brokers refuse to hazard
predictions as to the outcome of tbe anomalous
situation. One or two small bets were made
that 85 would be touched to-day. The field
news was too unimportant to be a factor in the
day's operations. The local carrylngrate was
30. Refined was up a little in New York and
down a sixteenth in London. Saturday's clear
ances were 1,040,000. Among the prominent
operators on tbe floor of the exchange were
Siessrs. Lowry. Fisher and McKee.

Taylobstow", January 7. Owing to the
almost impassable roads and the inclement

light Not much has been done on any loca

tion the "Jo-Jo's" have started on another
well on the Thompson lease, the Washington f
Oil Company on the L. ly, near the Suodgrass
line, and tbe same company has made loca
tions on the farms of James Hoddens, Jr., and

the farm-of James Hodgens. Sr., also on the
one adjoining, that of John Hodgens.

LOOKING -AHEAD.
Seal Estate Men Have Somo Good Things
on tho String.
"We never expect much on Monday," said a
real estate dealer yesterday morning. The re
sult showed that he knew what he was talking
about. The framework of several deals was
laid, but not much was accomplished in the
way of sales. Many prospectors were abroad
with cash in their.pocket, but they didn't find
the iron hot enough to strike. They will prob
ably turn up again.
W. A Herron & Sons sold another Forbes
street house, Oakland, for William Wood, of
Philadelpia, being tbe fourth that this firm has
disposed of in that locality within a short time.
These houses front welLand are of a high
class. The price was $11,000.
Black & Baird, No. 95 Fourth avenue, sold to
George W. Garrett lots Nos. 139, 110 and 141 in
the Baum Grove plan of lots at Roup station,
P. R. R., having a total frontage of 128 feet on
Euclid avenue, near Friendship avenue, and

FRENCH IRON TRADE.
Snbstitution of Steel Sleepers for Wooden
Ones Prices Held Up.
From the SoTthBritlih Mail it is learned
that although the French iron market displays
no ereat activity, the price of bars and girders
is firmly maintained at 14 francs, and the
Paris merchants have abandoned their policy
of competition at any price. Some of the
French works have again secured' important
contracts abroad. Attention is called to a con
tract for 7.000 steel sleepers,which will be adjudi
cated by the Board of the French Government
Railways on tbe 4th of January next, and it is
expected that several private railway compan
ies will also shortly decide on substituting
steel sleepers for the wooden ones at present In
use.
In Paris old rails are still in great demand,
and are firmly held at 85f per ton of 1,000 kilos.
Some of tbe most important iron firms in
LyonB have lately turned their attention to the
export trade, and it is f -id that they are meet
ing with a considerable amount of success to
tbe detriment Of their British and German
competitors.

STOCKS HAMMERED.
The Coalers Suffer on Account of Warm
Weather Bonds Active.
New York. January 7. Tbe stock market
to-day showed no change in its temper from
those of last week, and the dealings Were con
fined principally, although to a smaller degree
than usual of late, to the professional element,
while the interest in the speculation was
centered in a half dozen or so of the leading
shares, all the rest being dull and entirely
featureless. The foreigners gave evidences of
more confidence in American securities, and
the commission neople were talking if anything
more hopefully, the selling being almost en
tirely from the bears and the traders who made
a demonstration against the coal stocks, and
Reading in particular, because of the contin
ued warm weather. The Grangers and South
westerns were very well held. St. Paul was
one of the strong features of the day, tbe for
eign purchases being more marked in that
stocks than in anything else on the list.
The decline culminated at noon, and prices
after that time showed an advancing tendency,
although there was very little progress made
until well into the afternoon, when Union
Pacific, St. Paul, Reading and some of the
specialties developed strength and the early
losses generally were recovered. Intense dull
ness and stagnation became the features
toward the end of the session, and the market
closed dull and steady at irregnlar changes of
small fractions from tbe opening prices. The
final declines were few and unimportant, but
among those which are, higher this evening
Omaha preferred rose 1, St. Paul 1U, Missouri
Pacific 1, Milwaukee. Lake Shore and
Western preferred 5J and Perry Coal li.
Railroad bonds were more active than for
sometime, and the sales of all issues reached
$1,822,000, of which the Reading first Incomes
furnished $2,701,000, though there was no special
animation developed anywhere else in the list.
There wa a generally strong tone throughout
the day, and tbe steady appreciation of values
was tbe marked f eatere of the dealings. The
advances were not very heavy except in a few
issues, and of these the most important was
Chesapeake and Ohio, series B certificates,
210 79.

stocks on the New York Stock Exchange.

MONDAY, January 7, 1888. J
Country Prodnce, Jobbing Prices.
There are few features of special Interest in
produco lines. To-day will pass as a blue
Monday. Weather Is unfavorable to active
trade movements. Nothing short of a first
class blizzard will apparently lift the produce
trade out of tbe ruts in which it has been
moving f or.weeks past.
Eggs are reported very slow, with 22c as the
outside figure. Butter is in the same boat.
Poultry continues scarce and firm. A Liberty
.street commission firm reports receipt of 3.000
pounds of poultry from Sioux City, la., which
came through in 48 hours, and went off like hot
The" demand for tropical fruits Improves.
Bananas are scarcer and higher. Valenciaand,
Messina oranges are in good supply and drift
ing toward lower prices.
Tho rise or fall of tho mercury is the big
factor in the produce trade at this date, and as
it rises or falls commission merchants are de
pressed or buoyant.

Receipts as bulletined at the Grain Ex
change were 67 cars, against 77 cars last Mon
day. It will be seen from the returns below
that more than one-half of the receipts to-day
consisted of bay, the total In this line being S6
cars. By Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chicaco,
16 cars of hay, 1 of rye, 6 of oats, 1 of mid
dlings. 1 of barley. 2 of flour, 1 of feed, 1 of
corn, 2 of bran. By Pittsburg,,Cincinnati and
St. Louis, 5 cars of corn, 15 of hay, 8 of oats, 2
of flour, 1 of shorts. By Pittsburg and West
ern, 6 cars of bay, 1 of flour. Sales on call: Two
cars extra 3 w. oats, 32c, 5 days. The weak
factor of markets is bay, the weakness being
due to too bountiful receipts. Oats -and corn
are steady. The desperate efforts to keep
wheat above the dollar line at grain centers
are thus far unavailing. Both January and
February wheat are below this line from latest
advices. The tone of cereal markets is an im
pTovememt on a week ago, and active trade
movements will no doubt be inaugurated as
soon as tbe January settlements are aver. At
least this is the feeling in tbe Grain Exchange
atmosphere.

London, January 7. Tho Mark Lane Ex
press. In its weekly Teview of the British grain
trade, says: The freezing and foggy weather
encourages wheat farmers. Owing to the good,
reserves of leading cereals the exchanges have
not shown the bnoyancy which frequently
characterizes the opening of a new year. There
is little change in prices from those of Decem
ber. The sales of English wheat during tho
Sast week were 25.718 quarters, at 30s Id, against
r,616 quarters at 31s 3d during tbe correspond
ing week last year. Corn at Liverpool is in fair
demand. Three cargoes of California wheat
bave been sold. One cargo sold at 38s 9d for
15,240 quarters, and two cargoes at 39s. Adense
fog prevailed to-day and there was a poor at
tendance at tbe market Little business was
done. English wheat was firm. Prices of
foreign showed a hardening tendency. Flour
was dearer for the ordinary makes, but the
opinion prevails that the best English is kept
too hljrh.

RATHER ROMANTIC.
Which Leonard Tracy Gave Miss Heaton a
Note for 95,000.
New York, January 7. Helen Dauv
ray's former husband, Leonard F. Tracy,
gained a point in the general term Superior
Court to-day in the suit of Eva Heaton, the
actress, against him for the payment of a
$5,000 noto made payable to her on demand.
Miss Heaton had some time since gotten a
verdict in a lower court for 55,400. The de
cision of the court to-day orders a new trial
on the gronnd of error.
There was a romance behind the story.
Miss Heaton, who is known on the stage as
Etelka "Wardell, met Tracy in Philadelphia
in 1877, when both were members of an
amateur dramatic company. She was then
an electrician and earning $300 a month.
Tracy fell in love with the pretty actress,
and they were engaged. She advanced
Tracy at different times a total of $5,000. At
last he sent her a note severing the engage
ment. He did not care, lie said, to marry
an actress. Then he went to Europe, and
came back with Helen Dauvray as his wife.
Soon alter Miss Heaton visited Tracy at his
Broadway office and secured the note in dis
pute. THREE DAIS AT HOME.
Benjamin Hopkins, the Ex-Fidelity Bank
Cashier, Succumbs to Death.
Cincinnati, January 7. Benjamin E.
Hopkins, late assistant cashier of the de
funct Fidelity National Bank, died at 6:30
this morning, at his residence, No. 268
Eichmond street. He had been home but
three days, arriving here Friday, January
4, from the Columbus penitentiary. He
had been pardoned by President Cleveland
on December 20, but the delay in making
out his papers prolonged his confinement.
The death of Mr. Hopkins was hastened,
in the opinion of his friends, by the long
suspense awaiting his pardon, and by the
excitement of return to his home, as well as
by the painful fact that one of his sons is in
jail charged with being an accomplice of
young Tinkler, the forger. Hu family were
unremitting in their attentions since his re
turn, and his wife, it is said, has not closed
her eves in sleep since he came. She was
bending over him this morning when he
died.
