THE MARKET BASKET.
The Lull That Follows Holidays Kow
on in Mail Trades.
PEDIT AND VEGETABLES GO SLOW.
An Active Demand for Fish, Oysters, Poul
try and Flowers.
APPETITE FOS GAME ON TEE TVAXE
OrricE or Pittsburg dispatch. J
Friday, January 11, 1SS9. J
The lull -which always follows holiday
trade is fully on as retards retail trade for
market basket materials. "Shadow and
shine is lile." Through the closing -week of
the dead year and the opening week of the new,
tradespeople had a fair share of tbe shine. This
has been a week of shadow, not only in trado
lines, but as regards tbe terrible calamity
which has befallen our city. The calamity be
fore which all classes stand in awe, and which
has brought sorrow and anguish into many
hearts and homes, has also bad its effect on
trade.
The uniform report which is heard from
dealers in meats, fruits and vegetables is that
the week's trade has been very slow. The
spring-like weather has, no doubt, had the
effect of restricting demand in many lines of
market basket filling.
Everything Cheaper.
At the fish and oyster stalls a fair week's
trade Is reported. Florists also report that
business has been fair to middling. The fancy
prices which ruled for flowers during Christ
mas week, when it was impossible to meet ue
mands,no longer rule. Prices, as will be seen
by quotations, are drifting back to ante-holiday
figures. Tulips of rarest beauty ire in
supply for the first time this season.
The drift of eggs for the past week has been
Heartily downward. The same is true of cream
ery butter The great scarcity of fancy coun
try rolls at this season keeps prices of this arti
cle up, notwithstanding the downward tenden
cv of other grades.
"The appetite for game is evidently on the
wane,judgiug from reports of dealers. And
strange to say, demand lor old reliable meats
does not grow in proportion. At the Diamond
.Market butcher stalls there was general com
plaint that tbe volume of trade had fallen be
low that of last week. Following are retail
prices given by dealers in materials for Satur
days market basket:
Meats.

Wheat Breaks Under a Flood of Selling Or

Chicago In wheat to-day there was
considerable trading within a range of
lKc Prices were lower, and he speculative
offering quite large, with a good deal of long
wheat reported to have come out at tbe de
cline. The opening was weaker than yester
day's closing figures, rallied with some fluctua
tions c but at the higher prices a flood of
selling orders came on the market which car
ried prices down lc There was a rumor that
the Government report would show a crop of
420,000,000 bushels, but no one could be found
that had seen such a report, and, like the ru
mor yesterday, it may have been started for
effect From the inside prices a recovery of
igc occurred, due to the covering by "shorts,"
v again eased off, then ruled irregular, and
ted about 4e lower than yesterday,
here was a moderate speculative business in
n, though most of trading occurred early in
session, after which the market ruled
idy and inactive. The openinc was at about
terday's closing prices, and under a good
al demand prices advanced Kc, reacted
, became steady and closed JQJc higher
j yesterday.
Tading in oats was fair and the market
rly supported, the close being steady at a
ght advance over yesterday's. June received
ore attention, but trading as yet is light. The
jar futures also sold moderately at ii&Ac de-
Jne.
Considerable interest was manifested in mess
k at times, and trading was moderately ac
t. Prices ruled irregular, though averaging
moderate trade was reported in lard and
feeling was stronger. Prices ruled 2Koc
ter early, but closed easier.
ery little interest was manifested in short
and trading was limited. Prices were ad

expectation of better prices. We reduce quota

THE RAILWAY INTEREST.
Over Three-Qnarlcrs of a million Men En
eaced in the Service.
The magnitude of the railway business of the
country may be estimated from the fact that
the employes of all kinds, officers and men,
form an army not far from 785,000 strong.
Eighteen of tbe States have each over 3,000
miles of track. Over7,000miles of rails were laid
last year, and 36,000 new men called into the
service.
This is an encouraging fact for railway men
and those desirous of entering tho railway pro
fession to bear in mind, and it is alo encourag
ing to tlioie'who are seeking promotion to re
member that the number of officials of all
ranks must continue to increase

A POPULAR SCHEME.
Eeal Estate Dealers Generally in Love'
With the Exchange Movement.
VERY LITTLE OPPOSITION TALK.
Gas Stocks ActiTe and Steady With a
Steadily Increasing; Demand.
TBE BEAKS KULE TUB OIL MARKET
The proposition to establish a Real Estate
Exchange in Pittsburg, as noted in this de
partment ot The Dispatch yesterday,
meets with general favor. A number of the
principal dealers were interviewed on the
subject, and they all agreed that it would be
a good thing, supplying a long-felt want.
Among other advantages which it -would
possess, as pointed out by the gentlemen in
question, would be the placing of the real
estate business on astrictly legitimate basis,
the same as bonds, stocks and produce.
This would be productive of a spirit of
fairness that is sorely wanting under the
present system of every man for himself and
Old Cloven Foot for the hindmost This
would be one result. Another would be to
stimulate business by insuring owners of
property prompt and cqnitable treatment.
They would no longer be compelled to resort
to huckstering to make a sale. They would
know just what to except, and could make
their calculations accordingly. It would save
them time and trouble.
The argument that it would not succeed be
cause a certain class of dealers do not want to
make their business public, is answered by
pointing to the success of similar organizations
in the Eastern cities, where this objection has
been overcome.
There are about 200 real estate dealers In
Pittsburg. Of this number 75 or 100 would bo
eligible to membership under the sifting rules
it is proposed to adopt Jnst where the line will
be drawn has not been determined further than '
that the qualifications will be character, ability
and standing In the business community. De
tails will be formulated when the committee re
turns from the East

MERELI PROFESSIONAL.
Oil Goes Off a Little, Closing Weak A
Bullish Outlook.
Oil was firm at the opening yesterday, being
Jc higher than the day before, caused by lib
eral buying in New York and the West, but in
the absence of supporting orders it soon sold
off. After the first two hours the tendency
was downward, although several attempts were
made to buoy up prices. What little business
was done was of a purely professional char
acter. The close was weak and Jfc below that
of Thursday. The opening price was 87Jc
highest STJlc, lowest 86, closed at 86a Thurs
day's clearings, 512,000 barrels.
Operators nesitate to express an opinion as
to the future course of tho market Available
facts indicate a bullish outlook. The retire
ment of a large number of certificates natur
ally narrows the working margin. Cause and
effect, supply and demand, prevail in oil as in
everything else. The more the cheaper, the
less the dearer. Scarcity, real or imaginary,
stimulates demand ana demand makes prices.
If the bull argument be true and known facts
seem to bear them out that tho working mar
gin has been cnt down, a btiffer market is
inevitable.

STOCKS IN A WAITING MOOD.
Business Crippled by the Uncertainty Attend
ing the Itnllroad Conference.
New Yokk, January 11. Except for a pe
riod of moderate activity in the forenoon, the
stock market to-day was equally as dull and
uninteresting as that of yesterday. The prog
ress made by the railroad presidents and the
bankers in their ta9k of restoring the prop
erties to a dividend paying basis did not meet
with any response from the speculators of the
street The market still waits for more pro
nounced action and the dealings remain almost
purely professional.
This inaction in the face of tho general ex
pectation that the action of the presidents
yesterday would result in a marked improve
ment in values of securities caused much dis
appointment on tbe street and had it not been
ior tne liberal foreign purchases a weaK mar
ket would probably have succeeded. There
was no weakness apparent, however, even with
the prevailing dullness, and the traders at one
time thought that they detected buying from
Gould sources. Little evidence was shown,
however, that any large Interest was
doing anything, but there was a slow but
steady hardening of values which carried
nrices In some stocks mi as mnch as 1 ner cent
The improvement was most noticeable in the
Grangers, and those stocks overshadowed all
tbe rest of the list, although there was activity
in Erie, which was bought largely for foreign
account
The market opened with a show of anima
tion, and first prices were all higher than last
evening's figures, although the gains were con
fined to small fractions, except in the cases of
Atchison, Burling, on and Pullman, which were
, 1 and 2 per cent higher respectively. Lacka
wanna took tho lead in the general upward
movement which followed, though its advance
was only J per cent, and in the others still
smaller fractions. Most of the gains were
afterward wiped out, and the market subsided
into the usual dullness.
Later there was a renewal ot the upward
tendency, and before noon all tbe active list
had again reached the abovo first prices. Tho
trading exhibited a steadily declining volume,
however, and no progress was made until the
last hour except in the Grangers, in which St
Paul was most conspicuous. Just previous to
the close there was more animation, and every
thing again moved up slightly, the market clos
ing dull but firm to strong at fractions better
than the opening figures.
On the whole, the dealings in railroad bonds
exhibited more featnres than those 111 shares,
althongh tbe business done fell short of tbe
totals of the previous few days, reaching only
$1,794,000. Erie seconds were again active, but
failed to move to any material extent, while
the Colorado Coal sixes developed marked ani
mation and strength, and recovered a portion
of the losses of the past few days. The Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe bonds resumed their
advance, and to-night are nearly up to the
figures prevailing before the late scare. Tho
Erie seconds furnished S171,000. the Colorado
Coal sixes S126.000, and the Atlantic and Pacific
fours $97,000 to the day's total. The general
list was firm.

stocks on the New York Stock Exchange.

Country Produce, Jobbing Prices.
To-day has been anything but a good Friday
to produce commission merchants, judging
from the uniform reports of quiet trade. We
are forced again to lower our quotations on
eggs, which very rarely touch as low figures at
this tlmo of the year. One dealer professes
a readiness to furnish the best in the
market at IB cents. Advices from New
York are that creamery butter fS down
to bedrock, and that any changes here
after must be toward higher prices. The de
mand for poultry has eased up slightly, but
supply is still small. With the winter nearly
half gone, and no old-time blizzards coming to
the front, tho trade in fruits and vegetables so
far has cut a sorry figure, as compared with ex
pectations of commission men. Dealers in
country produce are pessimistic by a large ma
jority. Beaks Navy from store, prime hand picked,

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Total receipts as bulletined at the Grain Ex
change were 31 cars. By Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne
and Chicago, 2 cars of oats, 16 of hay, 3 of flour,
2 of bran, 1 of middlings, 1 of cbopfced, 1 of
feed. By Baltimore and Ohio, 2 cars of hay, 1
of corn, 1 of bran. Sales on call were 1 car
sample s. corn, 36c, spot, regular; 1 car sample
white middlings, $18, 5 days: 1 car mixed clover
hay, $13 25, 6 days. Out of 163 carloads received
this week, 98 have been hay. Tbe liberal re
ceipts in this line have knocked the bottom out
of markets, and the situation is very decidedly
in the buyers' favor. This appears to be the
situation In all cereals. Trade movements are
very slow. Holders of grain and hay would be
ready to meet the cash customer at liberal con
cessions on most of quotations below. Tbe
drift of wheat is still downward, and the effect
on flour is weakening, though jobbers hold
prices at old rates.

A DISMAL DAT.
All Efforts to Make Things Lively at Boston
Unsuccessful.
Boston, January 11. The current rates for
general loans range from 4 to 5 on call, with
time paper at 4 to 6. Tbe stock market
opened strong with a few Western roads to
1 higher than last night All efforts to secure
further advances or mako trading more active
upon the outcome of the presidents' meeting
was a dismal failure. Tbe market was simply
a traders one, with a general complaint of lack
of support except from the short interest
Bonds were neglected, even Mexicans selling
Off a fraction.

K0TES ON NAVIGATION.
Another Half Million Bushels of Coal
Floated to Southern Ports.
The stago of water yesterday afternoon
reached 10 feet 2 inches.
The Dick Fulton arrived yesterday morning
from below with a tow of empties.
A number of the boats were partially dis
abled by the recent cyclone. The packets, in
particular, suffered the most They had to
seek shelter near the shore, and were away be
hind in arriving in Pittsburg.
It is estimated that over 600,000 bushels of
coal were started to the lower ports on the
present rise yesterday morning. The following
named boats with tows 'eft: Percy Kelsy, with
13 barges and boats; Fred Wilson, Diamond, J.
S. Mercer, J. A. Blackmore, one of Fawcett's,
the Hornett, the Sam Clark with 12 barges and
5 coal boats. The 5 coal boats of the Clark will
be left at Cincinnati to be taken below by the
J. F. Walton.
The wharf from Smithfield to Market streot
has been made a dumping ground for the
bricks, beams and deoris'taken from the Wood
street wreck. So much material has been de
posited on the levee that rivermen are begin
ning to complain. The packets are reached
with difficulty by passengers, and river freight
traffic is almost interrupted. Gangs of tramps,
newsies and loafers stood around watching the
rubbish, ready to pounce on any valuable that
might be discovered.
