of
A HEALTHY COXDITIOX OF TRADE
"oted in the Lines of Gent's Furnishing
Goods and Headwear.
DXUSUAL ACTIVITY IN HARNESS
Office of the Pittsburg Dispatch,
Tuesday, January 8, 1889.
The jobbing trade in gents' furnishing
goods, as a distinct industry in Pittsburg,
does not'date back further than 1880. Up
to that date this line was simply an adjunct
to the holesale dry goods trade, or was
controled by agents of Eastern jobbing
houses. About the time ot the Garfield
Hancock campaign, the jobbing of men's
furnishing goods became one ot our distinct
industries, and now there are two firms de
voted exclusu ely to this line whoe business
together aggregates more than 500,000 an
nually. This trade has in the main been
wrested from jobbing houses of Xew York
and Boston.
An interview with a member of one of our
jobbing firms develops the fact that the
volume of trade shows an incrcaso the past
year of 12 to 15 per cent overlSST.which was one
of the best year la the history of the trade.
Reports from both firms devoted to the whole
sale trade in men's furnibin;r goods, as well as
from drj goods bouses show a healthy condi
tion or trade in this Hue, with an outlook for
the future in eierj way promising.
The total value of cents' furnishing goods
jobbed here the rast car is estimated at JiOOO,
000, more than one-half of which i as controled
by home jobbers.
A decade ago three-fourths of this trade was
handled bv Eastern jobbers.
WHOLESALE CLOTHING.
In companions of trade between 1SST and
1SSS it is well to remember that the former jear
was an extra good one in nearly all jobbing
lines in this city. The record w hich that year
made was one or the Tery best in oar commer
cial history. Omens of labor troubles, and a
backward spring. In 1SSS, had the effect of re
tarding trade movements in many lines. If
stock had been taken midway of the year the
wholesale clothing trade of Pittsburg would
have shown a decline from the first half of the
nrcvious ear. Now. that returns are all in. it
appears the volume of trade for 1SSS, wastullv
nn to that of 18S7.
One of our reprecntivc clothing manufac
turers and jobbers thus puts the situation and
outlook of his mdustr "We do not claim for
oar trade the pist vear anything liko a boom,
nor did we desire it. The wholesale clothing
trade of Pittsburg has moro than doubled m
the past six rears, and we hae had our full
share of this increase and are entirelysatisfled. j
e could easily enlarge our trade by pushing I
out agents, but have little desire in tbatdirec- I
tion. being disponed to let well enough alone. '
Tne trade for ISbS sbos a slight adtanceon i
JsS7, in our case the increase for the year being
ti'.U'U uur competitors appear to ueoomg
well, and you ma a that the jobbing trade in
rcad-made clothing was never ma healthier
condition or had a better outlook than it has
now."
3IEXS HEAD WEAK.
There are four firms m this city devoted ex
clusively to the wholesale trade in men's head
wear. One ol these firms will dp able to cele
brate its centennial in 189S, being the successors
of a house established in 1TJS by Robert Pee
bles The estumte value ot this jobbing traue
f or 1SS7 was SbOOlOOO. In 1SS0 the trade was le-s
than half that amount. The record for 1SS7
showed an increase of fulh20pcr centotcr
lsSo. As the former year was the best in the
lustorj of this jobbing trade, it would have
been glory enough in lbsS if the business had
held its own. A member of one of the firms
renorts an increased business for ISsi over 1SS7.
of 10 to 15 per cent, and expresses the behet
that the other firms in the same line could re
port a like advance.
HARNESS.
One of the foremost manufacturers of har
ness in the city reports that his trade has never
been as good this time of the year as now. Said
he "We have bad unusual activity for the
past two years. At this time of the year we
generally look for a slack time. This season
has been an txception to the rule, and our
hands are working full time with plenty of
ii.ghtwork. If you want to tell The "Dis
patch re iders how the harness manufactur
ing trade flourishes, yo i ma say that the year
past with us has been one of the best on rec
ord, and that oar bonks will show an advance
or 2o per cent o- er li57. w hich was a very satis
factory j ear in our line."

Law Fully Explained.

Local Financiers Gfre Up the Bulk of the
Day to Annual Elections.
A DROP IN CLEARING HOUSE BUSINESS
The movement for a general banking law
in Pennsylvania, in the opinion oflead
ing financiers, comes none too soon. The
Bank of Pittsburg is not alone affected.
The success or failure of the project may
have an important bearing on the future of
the National banks. The basis upon which
their business rests Government bonds
will in a few years be taken from them,
after which they will be compelled to go
out of existence unless the Government creates
a special bond for their benefit.
This w ould encounter serious opposition from
the enemies of the national bauking system,
who are neither few nor unimportant, render
ing the passage of such a law at least doubtful.
In this exigency they would be compelled to
reorganize under Stato laws, which in some
States would be speciaL As special laws are
impossible in Pennslvania under the new
Constitution, a general law would have to be
framed to meet the emergency. This is the
object of the present movement, in which the
Bank of Pittsburg has the lead.
Although the necessitv of the law will not be
felt for three years, during which there will be
two Legislatures, it is considered unsafe to let
the matter run beyond the present session. To
put it off to the last moment would involve
creat risk, and possibly result in failure. It is
proposed, therefore, to secure the desired legis
lation as soon as possible. No special difficulty
is apprehended.

Business Clearing Honso Figure.
Yesterday was election day at the banks.
In most cases the old boards of directors were
re-elected. This divcrson intcrferred to some
extent with legitimate business. The result
being a rather quiet day in money matters.
This is illustrated in the Clearing House state

Tho Oil Dlnrkct Continues Under Bearish
Influence False Prophets.
Oil drops whenever a Standard man puts in
his appearance, is an old sayingamong oil men.
He did not show up at the Exchange yester
day, but his influence was felt all the same.
While the expectation of those who predicted
o5c w as not realized, the market was weak.
Heavy buying in New York held prices up.
The opening was S6c This was almost imme
diately followed by a break toS5Jc, and by a
rally to 85c
Another wave of weakness then struck the
boys, and there was a drop to 85c. This was
regarded as low water mark. At all events, it
proved so for the day. Again the price shot
up to S6Kc then fell to 85c, which were the
figures at the close. Trading was light and the
market was without support, except what it
received from Ncwork.
The field news was more encouraging. The
Neelywell, Washington county, was through
the sand and made a strong flow. Refined in
London dropped Jd. There was no change in
carrying rates.

W0RKIXG NEW TERRITORY.
Good Outlook for Oil nnd Gas In the Upper
Townships.
The company controlling the Elflnwell oil
and gas territory, in Shaler township, has been
reorganized to drill on the Bryant farm. They
propose to sink the old well deeper and will
give the territory a thorough test. They have
leased 300 acres.
The oil well on the Siebert farm atTallycary,
Hampton township, is said to be a good one.
The company has established a pumping sta
tion at Valencia, on the Pittsburg and West

Prices Conflict.
There was no special movement in real estate
circles yesterday. The inquiries were many
but tho sales were few. Tho "big things"
hitherto noted have not crystallized. They will
come to the front later on. Agents and dealers
have about closed up the January rent busi
ness, and will soon settle down to legitimate
work. Then the public may look out for lively
times. Buvers are settling down to the con
viction that prices will not recede.

IN BAD SHAPE.
Stocks Kept In the lint by tho Uncertainty
of Rnllrond Revenue.
New York. January 8. The stock market
to-day was extremely dull, narrow and uninter
esting, with a general downward tendency of
prices, and the result of the day's trading is to
leave almost everything fractionally lower than
last evening. The market hung upon the action
of the meeting between the railroad Presidents
and tho bankers, and while it was expected
that some plan wonld be perfected whereby
more revenuo would he assured to the roads,
there was a marked indisposition to enter into
new ventures pending the annual settlement of
the question. Nothing definite was accom
plished, however, and affairs remain in tho
same undecided condition. The dealings as a
consequence were even more of a professional
character than for the past few days, and such
interest as was infused into the market from
the operations of the trading clement were
confined almost cntirelv to the coal stocks,
Union Pacific and New England.
First prices wero generally from to per
cent below last night's figures, and while New
England developed marked weakness in the
early trading the rest of the list remained
stagnant and onlv Roading showed any anima
tion whatever. Lackawanna followed with a
fractional decline, but nntil well into the after
noon tho market was still devoid of feature,
when Chesapeake and Ohio common stock rose
a point on small transactions. Union Pacific
later became weak, nnd the general list then
sympathized, bringing prices in most stocks
down to the lowest prices. The close was dull
and fairly steady. Almost the entire list is
lower. Omaha preferred lost New En
gland, Union Pacific and Omaha common 1 per
cent each, and the others f racttonal amounts.
The dealings in railroad bonds were in
marked contrast to those in shares to-day, the
market beintr both active and stronc: through
out, and while the final advances are not
marked they are general and uniform. The
effect of the January disbursements is only
just beginning to be felt, and brokers report a
large inquiry for bonds of the investmentkind,
and this is reflected also in the prices of the
speculative variety for the time bemjr. The
only weak spot in the list were the Gulf, Colo
rado and Santa Fe 6s, because of tho uneasi
ness .iinong holders as the bonds, while a valid
obligation of the Atchison, are not guaranteed
and aro a lien only upon that part of the road
which has not earned the dividend upon the
Atchison stock "iven in exchange.
The sales reached $1,816,000, and the only
active feature was the Richmond and Alle
ghany lsts, $152,000 of which changed hands.
The important gains comprise Morris and
Essex Ms 2, to lift. The few declines include
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe 6s 2J, at 78.

BOSTON STOCKS.
Tbo Little Land Stock Boom Continues to
aicrrlly Boom.
(SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH.!
Boston, January 8. Boston's little land stock
boom continued to day, and furnished about
all the feature of the trading. Talk of a re
funding scheme and contemplated land
sales form the basis of the rise, but the street
is very willing to trade in land stocks, and does
not require any particular basis, although it is
just as well to have a leader in such a move
ment, and have that leader rise on merit. The
land stocks have not had much attention in
the Boston market since West End reached
K and began to react, which took place back
in Sjav, 1SS7. At the moment railroad stocks
offered little attraction, as a kind of transition
period in railroad affairs appears to be upon
us, and copper shares, while holding firm,
have had a pronounced advance, and do not
tempt much new trading, save in a few in
stances. Why not take a turn in the land
stocksr appears to be a very proper question,
and the street responds favorably, hence the
present very pretty little movement. No less
than 16 land stocks fonnd sales, and doubtless
tho remainine: seven will be given a show later
on. xne closing ngurcs to-day were: 1

While in a Hospital His Wife Dies and is
Dissected and Cremated.
ISPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
Chicago, January 8. John Somers, the
father ot nine children, broke his arm last
July, and was taken to the county hospital.
He sent word to his wife to come and see
hira. She did not come. When Somers
lett the hospital in September, he went to
his house and found it vacant. His wife
was nowhere about, and his furniture was
gone.
After a long search he learned that his
wife had died of quick consumption at
the hospital while he himself was an
inmate of that institution. Then he
began to look for her body. This was
no easy task. The corpse had been buried
in Potters field, bnt the grave had not been
marked. Last week he learned that the
body of his wife had been dis
sected in the Chicago Homeopathic Medical
College. He went to the institution and
was told by the engineer that the bones had
been burned. To-day Somers brought an
action for damages against the professors of
the college.

Country Produce, Jobbing Prices.
"With the one exception of poultry, tho entire
drift of things in countryproduce lines is down
ward. The weakness of butter and eggs for
the past few days has culminated in another
decline. Some commission men profess a readi
ness to furnish the best eggs going at 20c.
Others claim that a reliable article commands
22c. At Chicago to-day tho best Elgin creamery
butter is going at 2Sc, a figure about 15e below
the rate which ruled for a week or two in No
vember. The failure of the cold weather to
como to tlmo has entirely disappointed calcula
tions of speculators in hen fruit and diry prod
ucts. Said a Liberty street commission mer
chant: "We are overstocked with everything,
and, as much of our stuff is very sensitive to
the weather, the mild weather we are having
has very much demoralized trade. Apples are
rotting in large quantity, and I wouldbe mighty
glad to come out somewhere near whole on the
stock I am carrying."

of hay. By Pittsburg and 'Western, 1 car of
bay. The only sale on call was 1 car No. 2 y. e.
corn, 39c, 5 days. Out of a total of 91 cars bul
letined yesterday and to-day, 51 cars were bay.
As a result of this overdose of the meadow
crop, prices are off, as will be seen by quota
tions below. The promised improvement in
cereal markets after holidays has not yet ma
terialized. Buyers and sellers are still far
apart in their views of values. The former
think there should be concessions and the
latter are unwilling to concede. The outlook
at this date is in the buyers' favor, since every
thing outside of wheat is in abundant supply.
As to wheat and flour, the short export de
mand, as compared uith last year, would seem
to more than ofiset the shortage of crop. One
thing is certaiu, the efforts of Northwestern
millers to stiffen prices of flour by restricting
product are not, 60 far, a success, ;
