THE PASTTEAR A PROSPEROUS OKE A Growing Taste for Artistic Fire Fronts in Fittsture. FACTS AS TO HOUSE FURNISHING Office or tiie PrrrsBimG Dispatch. 1 Tuesday, Janqary 15, 1SS9. J The slate roof industry in this city is practically under theontrol of two firms, Aiken & Co. and W. B. Lupton & Co. Both firms are interested in extensive slate quarries in the well-known Peach Bottom elate region of York county, Pennsylvania. A member of one of these firms furnishes borne facts as to the situation and outlook of this industry. The volume of business has been steadily growing year by year, and has fully doubled in the past five years. The amount of slate handled here in 18S7 was little short of 6,000 tons. As that year was an unusually active year in building lines, it was feared that lSbS would fail to keep up the record of the past five years b showing an increase on the previous jear. Now that re turns arc in for the ear's business it appears that the record has been kept up, that the yer just closed has been the best in the slate roof ing industry, and shows an increased volume of business over lhS7 of fully 25 per cent. In the nast dozen ear prices of slate have been drutmg downwaid, and iu that time there has been a reduction of fully one-third in cost to the consumer. The cheaper grades of slate cost verj little if anymore than the old-time shingle. The old-fashioned roof had au aver age life of 12 or 15 j ears. Slate roofs hat e been fulfilling their functions well into a century, with no signs of decay from the corroding tooth of time. Nen Uses for Slate. In addition to the slate used for roofing pur poses tnere has developed in late y ears a strong demand for the article in many other lines, such as mantels, sinks, laundry tubs, floors, hearths and stair work. Tho Peach Bottom slate is the only thing in this line that has been successfully worked into laundry tubs. The trade outside of roofing material is steadily growing, and the year just pastshows a healthy growth all along the line. It is not man years ago that slate mantels were manufactured elsewhere and brought to this city. 2ow they are extensnely manufactured here by Aiken & Co., Graff, Hugus fc Co. and Bissell & Co. Either of these firms is equipped to furnish as artistic a mantel in stjle and deicn as can be found anywhere in the land. There has been, in the past two or three years, a remarkable crowth of the tatte for ornamental tire places. The introduction of natural gas has brought to the firo front the finest class of work in this line. Some East End and Allegheny houses in the past year or twohae been furnished with ornamental fire fronts by our home manufacturers in a stjle that would not hare been possible a few) ears aco. The fireplace is more and more taken into consideration in furnishing the room. The old-time mantel, loaded down with household odds and ends, is a thing of the past in the better class of dwellings. The professional decorator is now called into requisition in the ornamentation of hrst-class duelling houses, and drapery, carpets, upholstering and fire fronts are made to blend and nroduce a har monious whole. MABKETSBY WIRE, Active Buying Demoralizes the Wheat Pit Corn nnd Oat Firm A Drop and n, Itnlly In Pork t Lard Unsettled. Chicago Trading in wheat was active, and the feeling developed decidedly unsettled an I nervous. There was big buying and big selling, and between the two fluctuations were frequent within a moderate range. The market was again largely locak The opening was strong, and prices c higher, and, with slight fluctuations, advanced lc more. This was due to good bujmg, largely covering of shorts, though there was some wheat taken by parties for an advance in expectation of a reaction after the recent large decline. But the specu lative offerings increased, and prices settled back lc below the top prices reached early in the morning, influenced some by a reported failnro in the jrrain trade at Antwerp. But active buying again set in, purchases being credited to large floor traders, and prices re covered lc, the market closing ljc higher thanjesterday. Corn was quiet, butflrm. Themarkct opened at about yesterday's closing prices, advanced c, ruled steady, and closed He higher than yesterday. Oats were quiet and steady, and price changes weie confined to lie Mess pork was active and unsettled.

Opening sales were made at 1012c decline, and a fur ther reduction of 5c followed. During the lat ter part of the session the feeling was stronger and prices improved 1012c and closed ratlier aipauy.

Artistic Firo Fronts. In addition to the firms already named, that of L. H. fcniith S. Co. is engased in the fire front furnishing department. These firms re port a growing taste in this city and vicinity lor artistic work, and a readiness to pay for thins? of beauty in the shape of tile and brass work for hre fronts. A dwelling in Allegheny and one at Shad side are spoken of as equal to anv thmg East or West in the line of artistic fire fronts. Said a member of one of the firms ensasedin this line of trade: "We furnish just as pretty things m tile and brass ornaments as can be had anywhere in the land thoueh we could not have done so a fewyears ago. What we cannot produce at home we import, but tho imported material is now a very small part of the total used. There are a few things we are still compelled to bring from abroad, in iird.T to have a com plete variety for the fire front department. But every year we grow more independent of England in this line, and the time is not far away w nen we will be able to go entirely alone. Few people have any idea of the rapid strides Pittsburg has made in recent Years in fire front ornamentation." A o. I flaxseed, SI 61. Prime timotbv seed, SI 56 1 57.

MUCat liCLCIULft. GAS STILL LEADS THE STOCK MARKET to One of thf committee of real estate men who went to New York on a tour of dis covery in the interest of the proposed Pitts burg Exchange, in an interview yesterday afternoon, gave an interesting accouut of the manner in which realty is handled in the metropolis. Some of the ideas thus acquired will be utilized in the organization and management of tho Pittsburg institution. The New York Real Estate Exchange was organized fivo years ago. The first step towaid putting tho institution in working order was the purchase of a handsome, substantial build ing on Pearl street at a cost of S500.000. The rental from this property brings a revenue into the coffers of the Exchango of $50,000 a year. The par value of the stock is $100; it now com mands a premium of 25 per cent. Shares are sold to whoever wants them. Ten shares entitle the holder to the privileges of the floor. Stock brokers are admitted to membership by paying a yearly assessment of S60, but they have no voice in the management of tho Ex. change. This is done to increase the revenue, All the real estate business transacted in New York passes through the Exchange, even sheriff sales, which are called "knock downs." This is a great saving of time and trouble to the courts. There is a full corps of officers, from president down, and a general manager, who supervises the entire business of the Exchange. There are various committees, to each of which is assigned a special duty. The most important of these is the Arbitration Committee, to which is referred all disputes between buj ers and sellers. Tne most thorough system prevails in all parts of the Exchange, and all transactions are governed by strictly business principles. Stool pigeons, or bogus bidders, are rigidly ex cluded. There is no pretense of making sales every offer, and bids must be in good faith. Owners of property bidding it in must pay the commission the same as others. This is a pro tection to both bus er and seller. The result of all this is to concentrate the real estate busi ness under one roof, instead of having it scat tered all over the city, as it is here under the present S)stem. The gentlemen of the committee are highly pleased with the workings of the Is e w York institution, but are still seekers after knowl-i edge. They understand that Chicago and Denver have made improvements upon the metropolitan system, and some of them will visit those cities and investigate before recom mending a plan for adoption here. They will report to a meeting ot real estate men to-day the results of their observations, so far as they have gone. Opened. S5Mc; highest, &0;c; lowest, 84J(c; closed, 83!c Barrels.

Captain Barbour presided at the morning stock call yesterday, but he was absent in the afternoon, bis place being ably filled by John D.Bailey. There -was a good demand for gas shares, nut holders were not anxious to sell at the ruling figures. Traction and Electric were quiet, "blocks are in a rut," saia a prominent broker just before the close of the afternoon call, "but 1 think v,e will have them out before long. Just now offerings are light, but holders will soon get tired of playing the part of spec tators and Mill load the market up. This may not boom prices: indeed, it may have a contrary effect, but it will make business brisk." Bids and offers are appended: stocks. Commercial Nat. Bank Diamond M'l Bank... Allegheny hut.

Yesterday was a bad day for the bulls on the Petroleum Exchange. Tho opening price was SOJf , the same as the previous day, andthero was some heavy Duying lor an hour or two, in which Lowry and Robinson wero consDicnous. The trouble then began. .New York and Oil City sold heavily. This knocked the props from un der the market, and prices were chipped off an 14 at a time, with a few attempts to turn the tide, until the hammer fell. The closing figures were 85J4, with a bearish feeling. The outcome of the day's bus.ness was a surprise to many, who expected from the strong feeling at the start that the market would be bullish all day. The result shows that nobody knows what a day may bring forth in oil. While there wjs considerable excite ment on the floor of the Exchange there was very little business after the morning spurt, and the boys found plenty of time to swop jokes. Monday's clearings were 1,936,000 bar rels. A. B.

The stock market was less active and ld"wer throughout the day, with less vim to speculation, the result being a decline which, while not marked, was general. There was quite a sentiment on the street this morning in favor of a reaction, and while the foreigners were still buying with undiminished confidence, the traders were free sellers, ana some taking of profits sagged the list off steadily, especially during the forenoon, and except in a few isolated cases prices yielded all over the room. The strong feature of tho dealings was the Vanderbilts, which were bought largely for foreign account and met wiin consiaeraDie domestic support, ana au made np a small fraction of the dividends. Atchison was again the disturbing factor in the market, and efforts were made to get it down in tho early trading, but notwithstand ing reports of its weakness in Boston with tho positive assertion that the dividend would be Sassed, there was little progress made in the ownward direction until the actual announce ment of the fact, when it broke 2 per cent, though it failed to carry the rest of the list along with it. The Grangers and Coal stocks showed most weakness during the afternoon, the continued warm weather and reports of cuts in the prices of domestic sizes being used against them. The opening prices were not held, however, as the pressure brought against the list soon made an impression, Missouri Pacific and Lack awanna leaumg ine decline, ine vanuerollt stocks all sold ex-dividend, and were all well held. The early losses were generally recov ered in the first hour, but the market soon gave way again, while Pullman moved in opposition to the rest of the list and rose 1 per cent. Later there was considerable strength shown in Erie and New England, but Pullmanlost the improvement. The announcement of the pass ing of the Atchison dividend dropped that stock a point and a half, but the rest of the list fluctuated within the narrowest limits, and in tho last hour some improvement was shown all around, though the amount of the gain was small. The market finally closed quiet and generally firm at something better than the lowest figures. , Railroad bonds were still fairly active, and this morning developed a more urgent, demand for good securities. The tone of the market remained strong throughout the day. leaving prices afcthe close generally materially higher thin the last previous, bales.

TheoldVory of quiet trade in produce lines grows monotonous, but this is still the situa tion. Markets are overstocked with country batter, and prices are merely nominal except for a very choice article. A cash customer with an offer of 19c for the best eggs would not be permitted to go away empty. There is no let up to the firmness of cheese, which shows more vigor than anything else In produce lines. A Liberty street commission merchant thns puts the situation:' "Stuff keeps accumulating on our hands far beyond the demands of trade. Our mail is daily crowded with offers to con Sign butter, eggs, vegetables and fruit, and we are forced to answer, hold,. enough. The open winter has upset all calculations, and our only hope now of relief lies in a good spell of old fashioned winter weather. There is no end to the country butter coming in.
