THE SITUATION IK CONSUMERS' FATOE
OFFICE OF TOE PnTSBUnO DISPATCH,
Friday. January 25, 18S9. J
Retail trade in the lines of Saturday mar
ket basket materials have undergone very
few changes in the past week. All dealers
report a very quiet week's trade. Keither
jobbers nor retailers of country produce and
dairy products represent the situation in very
roy colors. The open 'weather has been against
any revival of trade. With almost two-thirds
of the winter cone, and no tight weather show
ing up trade has dragged, and business has
been generally unsatisfactory to dealers. Sun
aaj's snow storm ran its course too quickly to
make any impression on the markets, other
than to check the downward drift of eggs and
butter.
Harry Beckert, of the Diamond market, re
ports trade very quiet in vegetable lines, but
rinds a few crumbs of comfort in some hand
some orders for the Press Club banquet at the
Hotel Duquesne. for Tuesday night. Among
these orderi are 25 pounds of mushroons at SI
per pound: 87 dozen asparagus and 9 dozen cu
cumbers. The brethren of the press evidently
are doing their part to lift trade out of its mid
winter ruts.
Fish Trade Fnlr.
At the fish and oyster stalls a fair week's
wholesale trade is reported, but retail trade
has been quiet. The open wintor furnishes ex
cellent opportunities for catching oysters.
With the average winter, the supply ol select
oysters would not have been equal to the de
mand. Down-the-bay oysters or what are
known in the trade as snaps, have been in large
supply all season, and for these prices rule
lower than last year. A winter like this is
better for the consumer than it is for the trade.
In the line of meats no improvement in trade
is reported. Butchers are able to secure their
stock at lower figures than a week ago,
but make no cbauge in prices, claiming
that such times as these are only
a fair offset to such times as last summer and
fall, when they had to work for glory. "Shadow
and shine is life," and butchers are now in the
shine. Butter, eggs and poultry are unchanged.
It is a verv rare thing that eggs are as low at
this time of the jear as now. Choice country
butter has held up well amid all the fluctua
tions of creamery. Creamery butter. in a job
bing wav, is 15c per pound below November
prices. But there nas been very little variation
all the season in the price of the pure stuff to
the consumer.
The flower trade is reported good. Prices
bave gravitated back to the ante-holiday fig
ures. Following are the latest retail prices for Sat
urday market basket material:
Meats.
The prices called for at the Diamond Markets
remain unchanged. The best cuts of tenderloin

Wheat Unsettled bnt n Shnde Higher
Operators Make aDlistnUe Corn and
Oata Fentnrelcn Pork nnd
Lord Hold Their Own.
Chicago, January 25. Trading was quite
active in wheat, and a large business was trans
acted. Heavy coverings of shorts and some
new buying by two or more houses were re
ported. The feeling was somewhat unsettled,
and fluctuations were confined within a 2c
range. Opening sales were made at the clos
ing figures of yesterday to a shade under, but
the market became quiet, and prices declined,
with some changes 1C then rallied Irregular
ly 2Hc, and closed about c higher than yes
terday. The early decline was due to a rush to
realize, but when operators undertook to buy
there was not much wheat found on sale, and
the reaction followed. The decline was in
fluenced by the Government report, which, it
was claimed, indicated an increased acreage
planted to -winter wheat to the amount of
about 865,000 acres. .,..,
Corn nas traded in sparingly, fluctuations be
ing narrow and transactions limited to local op
erators. The feeling was comparatively steady,
the range of prices oeing much the same as on
yesterday, though at the close the market was
Az lower.
Oats were quiet, with a small improvement
in values. ,
Quite an active business was reported in
pork. Prices very irregular. Opening sales
were made at a decline, which was followed by
a further reduction of 3032Jc Later prices
fluctuated considerably within a range of 12
15c, and the market closed firm at about me
dium figures.
Considerable interest was manifested in lard;
prices irregular. Opening sales were made at
2J5c decline, and a further reduction of 7H
10c was submitted to. Later the markets
snowed more steadiness, and prices rallied &
"Kc and closed quiet.
An active business was reported in short ribs,
but the market was greatly unsettled. Early
sales were at 10c decline, and a further reduc
tion of 10c followed. Later prices rallied 7
10c, and the market closed steadv.

Lancaster, January 25. John S. Zins
ser, a prominent young business man and
member of a highly respected family of
Columbia, left home some days ago, telling
his wife that he was going to Lancaster to
visit friends. His father has just received
a letter from him stating that he will never
return.
It has been discovered that he took with
him Miss Gertie Kerr a popular young
lady of Wrightsville, just opposite Colum
bia, on the Susquehanna. He had been at
tentive to Miss Kerr before his marriage,
and they are supposed to have gone "West.
An examination of JIusscr's books and ac
counts show everything to be correct.
Conclusive Enough to Commit.
Albert Campbell and Samuel Geiger, the
young men quite conclusively charged with
committing the robberies in "Wilkinsburg,
had a hearing before Alderman Gripp and
were committed yesterday for larcenv and
burglary. The prosecutors are "William
Harris and L. K. St. Clair, who charged
them with breaking into their houses and
stealing $58 in money, two gold watches, a
revolver 13 gold riug; and a lot of cuff
buttons.

ELECTRIC EEC0TEES FEOSI ITS SHOqK
One of the peculiar monetary institutions
of Philadelphia is a Fenny Savings Fund,
which went into operation in 1879, and is
doing good work. Its promoters and mana
gers are men of ability and means, who
charge nothing for their services except
necessary running expenses, such as rent
and clerical labor, which amounts to abont
$650 a year. The institution is practically
a charity, and is very useful to the poor, by
educating them in the difficult task of sav
ing their -pennies. There are 3,000 depositors,
men, women and children.
The Dispatch representative called the at
tention of a Wood street savings bank official
to this institution, and to the facts in connec
tion therewith, as above set forth, yesterday
afternoon, and his opinion asked as to its prac
ticability in Pittsburg. He said it was an ex
ccllent thing as a charity, but that there was no
money in it, except for the depositors. As a
charity, he was in favor of it. There was noth
ing of the kind here, but he thought it would be
well enough for some of the liberal-minded,
big-hearted citizens to give it a trial. The cost
would be trifling, and the results might be im
portant. Anything that would promote econ
omy among the poorer classes would be worth
its cost, and more. too. It could probably bo
be made a sort of annex to one of the regular
savings hanks, the only cost being clerk hire
and room rent. In the event of the organization
of such an institution here, he would, he added,
do all in his power to promote its success.
Another gentleman whose attention was
called to the matter said he thought it was a
good thing and could be put be put in opera
tion here at a small expense Anything that
had a tendency to inculcate economy among
any class of people was deserving of attention.
The penny savings fund scheme was in that di
rection. It was a true charity, in that it would
have a tendency to teach people to take care of
themselves.
THE SCAEE SUBSIDES.
Electric Stock Comes Up Smiling, but Char
tiers a Little Weaker.
The scare in Electric caused by the Supreme
Court decision had ceased to be a disturbing
element In the marketwhen the brokers assem
bled at the Exchange yesterday morning for
their usual seance The proof of this is seen
in the stingy manner in which it was offered.
It closed firm and about up to high-water mark.
Chartiers was weaker as a result of the report
made at Thursday's meeting, but hints here
and there by those who were supposed to be on
the inside that the company would soon emerge
from the entangling alliance with the Philadel
phia Company, some going so far as to predict
a dividend in April, lent strength to the stock
as the day wore on. Holders seemed to be
satisfied with the situation, and refused to
sacrifice the stuff. The offerings were there
fore light. The other specialties were firm.
Bids and offers reflect the spirit of the market
better than would extended comment. They

VEEI BULLISH,
Eastern News Doomi the Oil MnrUet Look
ins Toward Ninety.
The effect of the agreement reached by the
Standard and the Producers' Association In
New York was to make a very bullish oil mar
ket yesterday. The price opened at 87c, with
nearly everybody wanting to buy. Oil City ab
sorbed some large blocks. New York unloaded
to a moderate extent, but there was no general
selling movement. The bears opened up their
batteries and hammered with might and main,
bnt tbey made but very little impression. The
bulls more than held their own. The struggle
between the opposing factions was quite excit
ine at times. By sure but easy stages the fig
ures grew in importance until 87c was reached.
This, it was thought, would be the culminating
point of the day, but those who banked upon
it and realized were mistaken. Another spurt,
caused by advices from Oil City of heavy buy
ing there, sent the price up to 87c at which
the martt closed. The opening was 87c, high
est, 8S3ic: lowest, S7c; closed, 87c.
The sma'l selling movement developed dur
ing the dav caused considerable talk, as there
were several good opportunities to realize at a
big profit. It was taken by some as an indica
tion of still higher prices. One of the leading
brokers thought differently, however. He was
of the opinion that the advance was too sharp
and sudden to be permanent. He explained
his position further by saying the boys felt good
over the news and went in regardless of conse
auences. He thought the market would open
to-dav about where it left off yesterday, but
would sell down before noon. But as all this is
in the line of prophecy. It must be taken at
what it is worth as a factor in influencing oper
ations. Although one element of uncertainty
has been removed from the market, the situa
tion is full of peril, and demands care and judg
ment to avoid fatal mistakes.

LET THEM COME.
Some Big Industrial Plants Slay be Located
Here Very Soon.
Several important manufacturing concerns
have had representatives here during the past
week looking into the advantages of natural
gas as an element of cheap production, exam
ining sites for building purposes, etc, with a
view to their removal to Pittsburg If all the
claimsset forth by the citizens should be ascer
tained to be well founded. Two of these con
cerns are located In tne East, but they desire
to remain in the background until all their ar
rangements for removal are completed, If they
should finally conclude to come. These firms
have not only had representatives here with
the object above Stated, but they are also in
correspondence with one of the leading real es
tate agencies on Fourth avenne.
Another concern that has turned its longing
eyes toward Pittsburg is the Southern Ice Com
Danv. of Columbus. Ga.. which has several
. branch establishments in the South. It sent a
representative nere sometime ago to iook over
the field and select a site for the necessary
buildings. He returned home a day or two
Should it conclude to locate here, as is prob
able, it will and materially to tbe industria 1 re
sources of tbe city. The ground and buildings
necessary to operate the plant will cost not less
than $100,000,
TV0JTT GIVE IX. UP.
WHkiniburg nnd Turtle Creek Bonnd to
Have Gnu and Oil.
The good people of Wilkinsburg who have
been laboring under a natural gas craze for
some time are sanguine of the speedy fruition
of their hopes. They have concluded to drill
another well, in order to give the field a
thorough trial. With this end in view, the
company has made a new issue of bonds in
order to raise the necessary funds to prosecute
tbe work. The most of these bonds have been
taken by members of the company, but out
siders would probably be accommodated to a
limitedfextentupon application. The old well is
plugged, but the pressure is said to be as great
as ever.
Following in the wake of Wilkinsburg, an oil
and gas company has been organized at Tnrtle
Creek and bonds Issued upon which to obtain
money to commence operations on the Mont
gomery farm, which has been leased, together
with other territory.amounting iu all to 600 acres.
A member of the company who was seen yes
terday said the prospect for both oil and gas
was excellent. Drilling will begin as soon as
the funds are in band, which, it is expected,
will be in about a month.
ONE THING SETTLED.
Arbitrators Decide the Herdman Bnildine
Need Not be Torn Down.
The arbitrators' report on the status of the
Herdman building on Wood street, which was
among those damaged by the late storm, made
a report yesterday to the effect that it was not
necessary to tear it down, that the damaged
walls conld be repaired and the building thus
be made as good as ever. The report was ac
cepted. The other four buildings will be razed In ac
cordance with tbe decision of Inspector Frank.
They will be replaced by a handsome business
block, but of what description cannot be stated
until the plans bave been completed. These
are in course of preparation and will be pre
sented to the owners of the property for their
consideration some time next week. They will
probably be of uniform style and costaudat
least five stories high.

Wall Street Still Dominated by the Benrs
Stocks Very Dull, but Close a Little
Better Than Opening Figures
Bonds Without Feature.
New Yore, January 25. The stock market
was very dull to-day, while the movements and
prices were confined to even a narrower range
than usual of late, very few of the active shares
fluctuating over a range of moro than ) per
cent. The covering movement of last evening
extended over into this morning and gave tbe
market a firm appearance in connection with
the limited purchases for foreign account. The
news of the day was of a favorable character
generally, and tho statement of the Lacka
wanna was considered excellent, but nothing of
that sort had power to move the market out of
its rut, and dullness and stagnation continued
to be the leading features throughout the day.
The bears hammered some of the active shares,
including Reading, Lackawanna, St. Paul,
Union Pacific Richmond and West Point and
Texas Pacific In none except the last two
was there any impression made, andthat was
almost entirely neutralized before the close,
when covering was again in order.
First r.rices were only slightly changed from
those of last evening, and the market was dull
with no featnre whatever until after noon,
though a firm tone prevailed and most of the
list remained upon a higher level than that of
the opening figures. Texas Pacific was the
first stock to move, and it rapidly declined un
der large sales over 1 per cent Tho weakness
gradually spread to the rest of the list and
roost of the early advances were wiped out with
Atchison, Reading and Richmond and West
Point showing weakness. After delivery hour
there was more animation with a stronger tone
and the highest prices were again approxi
mated, though there was no movement of im
portance whatever. The market finally closed
dull but firm at fractional advances In most
cases over the opening figures.
Tbe railroad bond market was about as
active as usual, though there was a very large
number of issues traded In. There was extra
ordinary activity and strength in the Reading
general 4's. and they furnished $1,003,000 out
of a total day's business of $2,986,000. At the
same time they rose from 90 last evening to
9 closing at the latter figure. The general
list was firm to strong, but In few did the
movements amount to more than small fraction.

stocks on the New York Stock Exchange.

Groceries.
Green coffee was advanced 30 points in New

the advance. A rise in roasted coffee cannot
he far away from the present outlook. Sugar
continues easy, as, in fact, do all groceries.

Said an old time retailer, "I never knew mar'
kets so unsettled and uncertain as they are)
this week." The wisest cannot tell what a day
may bring forth. Heavy receipts, mild weather
and small export demand all conspire to de
press markets and keep buyers and sellers
apart The drift of wheat is still downward,
but no change in flour prices Is permitted to go
out from wholesale dealers. A jobber of flour
reports a decline of 15c per barrel. On the
other band, a wholesale grocery firm reports
tbat advices from Minnaeapolis arehat prices
there are unchanged. Tbe consumer, in tbs
meantime, must wall, but lower prices cannot
be far away with the present condition of mar
kets. Wheat Jobbing prices No. 2 red, SI 04
