Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, 1
Friday, Marin 8, lhS9. J
At the fruit and vegetable stalls no im
provement in the situation of trade is re
ported for the week. Quietness prevails all
along the line. Saturday must furnish
favorable weather and unusually active de
mand in order to keep up a fair record for
the week:
Oleo dealers at Diamond markets do not
Ie61 at all amiable toward the actions of law
and Order Society. Heavy fines have Knocked
out trade in this line, and as a result there is
an active demand for unadulterated butter at
advanced prices.
A countryman, who pays weekly visits
to our markets, puts the changed
situation in the following terms:
"Two weeks ago in my region ot country second
grade butter was very slow at 15c, but for a few
days past it has been active at 25c." There
does not appear to be enough rehahle butter to
go around. A leading dealerin fish and oysters
thus puts the situation of his trade. "Our
business Has improved the past week, and
while there is no boom, trade is on a solid basis
and we have done 25 per cent better than last
week. Oyster trade had begun to slack up a
little, but it has fully regained lost ground
since Lent began, and will now hold up till the
fastis over. He can easily tell when Lent ar
rives without consulting the calendar, or hear
ing from ecclesiastical authorities."
Lenten Luxuries.
The nrstircsh red salmon and codfish of the
Season have been on the stalls this week. The
former came from the Pacific coast. Outside
of these two lines the trade is still confined
to frozen fish. As the trade in fish and oysters
Has improved, the demand in staple meats
shows a decline. Prices of the latter are the
came as last fall, when steers were fully 2c per
pound above present rates.
The game season is at an end. Young jack
snipe, teal and mallard ducks will appear on
tho stalls next week.
Florists report everything in their line as
very quiet since Ash W cdncsday. Bottom at
once dropped out of trade. Said a leading
florist to-day: "We are now going throngh the
experience we look for the first week or two of
Lent. In a few days the non-believers in Lent,
vho comprise a majority of our patrons, will
come to the rescue of trade."
The first pansies of the season put in their
appearance at the floral stands this week.
Following are latest prices for market bas
ket filling.

Chicago Wheat ruled weaker and the feel
ing was nervous. Trade was rather restricted
and the market ruled quiet curing most of the
session. The opening was steady ataboutyes
terday's closing figures, ruled weak an after
numerous slight fluctuations became heavy and
declined lc for May delivery, advanced lc and
closed about lc lower than the closing yester
day. July declined lKcand closed ljc lower
and June !Jc lower. There was generally
more disposition to sell, though at the break in
price one large local trader bought quite freely
for May delivery, which caused somewhat of a
reaction.
For the long or new crop futures there was
unmistakably more disDosition to sell, influ
enced no doubt by the favorable weather for
growing crops. Reports of rain in California
and s. break in the price of wheat there also
had a tendency to affect the market here, and.
especially for deferred futures.
Corn was less active and easy, owing to large
offerings by prominent operators. The market
opened at about the closing yesterday, and was
steady for a time, then;became weaker, de
clining ic reacted KMc, and closed at K'sC
lower than yesterday.
Oats were active and weak. .There were no
outside influences, the marxet being controlled
entirely by local traders. The opening was the
same as yesterday's close, but a decline of Hc
was soon recorded. Buying became quite free
at Inside figures, and ,a rally of c followed,
but the market closed easy at iic below
yesterday's last sales.
A moderately active trade was reported in
mess pork, and the feeling was somewhat un
settled. The market opened 57c lower, but
the demand was sufficient on local and outside
account to rally prices 1012c Later an
easier feeling was developed and prices receded
1215c. bnt rallied again 2025c and the mar
ket closed steady.
Lard was easy "during most of the day. Prices
ruled 2J5c lower early, but rallied again 5
TUc, closing steady at outside figures. Short

WILL MAKE A TEST.
The Experts at Breaking Into Strong
Boxes to be Allowed
FDLL SWING AT THE GREAT YAULT
Big Money to be Fat Into It as an Extra
Incentive to Break In.
A BIG DAI AT THE, STOCK EXCHANGE
The work of setting up the mammoth
vault in the new building of the Pittsburg
Fidelity, Title and Trust Company, on
Fourth avenue, is progressing as rapidly as
the huge undertaking will admit of. The
foundation has been laid and the floor of
the vault, composed of heavy blocks of
chilled metal, is well under way. The
vault will be the most expensive-strong box
in Pittsburg, costing 575,000. The highest
priced vault in New York cost $350,000.
While being much larger, it is admitted to
be less secure than the Fidelity vault. When
completed it is the intention of the patentees
to give experts at lock-picking and safe
smashing an opportunity to show their skill
by placing a large snm of money in the vault
and giving it to any one who can get it. The
severest tests will bo invited.
According to a statement just made public.
no less than 39 wells have been drilled for gas
during the past year along the lake shore, be
tween Erie and Cleveland. None of them have
been failures. The wells, although not very
strong, produce a steady Spw sufficient for
local needs. A few of the numerous wells
drilled at Painesville are not as strong as at
first, but the majority of the 39 are considered
stronger than when first struck. Not much
has been heard of late of the gas well sunk in
Newburg, Cleveland. A gas well sunk by W.
M. Barton, at Wesleynile, Erie county, Pa., is
one of the strongest gassers that has yet been
struck on the lake shore. The last heavy .vein
was struck at a depth of 700 feet, after pene
trating 20 feet of black shale. It will be drilled
200 feet deeper if the present powerful pressure
of gas can be controlled.
"A good deal has been said about the large
number of mortgages that are being placed
this season, and fears 'expressed that people
were rushing recklessly into debt," remarked a
real estate dealer yesterday. "Ordinanlvthisfact
would be a bad indication," ho continued, "but
the conditions under which they are being
placed are peculiar. Very little of the money
thus raised has been or will be used for specu
lative purposes. The most of it has been in
vested in real estate. This is the way it is
done: Mr. Smith, we will say, owns a property
valned at S5.OO0. He knows that there is a
great demand for unimproved lots, and
that their value is steadily enhancing.
He sees a lot that he can purchase
at a fair price say 51,000. He puts 51,000
on his property, buys the lot and soon sells it
at a handsome profit. Then he buys another
lotandsoon. I know of several such cases.
Two or three of my acquaintances have become
correspondingly wealthy by pui suing this
course. They don't endanger their homes.
The mortgages are not debts in the ordinary
sense. Not only the original obligation is pro
vided for. but there is a surplus to fall back to
in case of need. In this view of the case, which
is the correct one so far as Pittsburg people
are concerned, mortgages are not so great an
evil as they are generally represented to be.
Indeed, they have proved of great benefit in
many instances that have come under my per
sonal observation."
Scraps of tinned iron have long been a
waste product, whose application, for any pur
pose worthy of the intrinsic value of the metals
contained in them, has been an unsolved prob
lem. It is true that scraps of this kind have
been cast, buttbehardnessaudgranularstruct
ure render the metal fit only for use as weight.
Now, however, they are coming into use for
nails. Scraps of tin are cut by dies into rec
tangular bits, with a length of about three
times their width. These scraps are then fed
from an automatic hopper between dies, when
they are squeezed first to square form, like a
nail, and then beaded. Nails of this kind are
well fitted for many purposes, being free from
tendency to rust, also light, very rigid, and ca
pable of being driven into the hardest wood
without buckling.

A STANDARD SCHEME.
Ohio Oil Beared nt ibe Expense of the
Pennsylvania Product.
The oil market was dull and lower yester
day. The bulk of the business was done in the
last hour. Of local buyers Sproul & Lawrence,
Mustin and McKelvy were the principal. New
York bought and Oil City sold. Trading was of
moderate volume, no big lots being dumped.
The highest price was 91, shortly after the
opening, and the lowest 90. Some dealers
predicted lower figures for to-day. "It looks
bad." said one operator. It was stated that the
February reduction would reach 1,000,000 bar
rels. There was a report in some quarters that
Ohio Oil was to be equalized in value with the
Pennsylvania product and made certificate oil.
This is an old scheme revived, but the report is
plausible for all that. It is certain that Ohio
oil has become one of the principal bearish in
fluences on the market,

New York. March 8. The dullness in the
stock market was more marked to-day than at
any time in the present year, and the fluctua
tions were strictly on a par with the business
done, the final results of the day's transactions
being entirely insignificant, except in a few
isolated cases. The general temper of opera
tors was bullish, and in response to this feeling
there was some improvement made in quota
tions until the prevailing dullness encouraged
attacks upon a few stocks, and so turned the
course of the limited fluctuations. Of the news
of the day that was favorable, the most influen
tial were the declaration of the dividend upon
Missouri Pacific of 1 per cent, the advices from
Washington of the good progress made at the
conference of the Inter-State Commission and
the State railroad officials, with the assertion
that the acceptance of the position offered him
by the railroads by Mr. Walker was almost a
certainty, and tho news from Paris that the
Bank of France had come to the aid of the cop
per syndicate.
There was the usual hatch of reports from
Chicago in regard to the cutting of rates in the
Northwest, but no other news of a character to
affect prices unfavorably was received. In the
early mornjng St. Paul was a marked feature,
both for its animation and the rise in its price
against the undoubted selling of a large block
by London, and the behavior of the stock gave
rise to considerable comment and the assertion
that there is a powerful pool operating in it.
gained more believers. Mr. Armour was said
to be a member of the pool, while some parties
thought that the support given to the stock
came from the bankers. Tennessee Coal was
also a strong feature at this time of the day,
and reached higher figures than ever. Cleve
land, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis
became specially strong, though being very
dull attracted little attention. Manhattan con
tinued its reaction from the high prices of last
week and the other Gould stocks suffered
somewhat in sympathy after the pressure was
brought upon the list. The Coal stocks were
the special ,point of attack, and Lackawanna
and Reading in the afternoon yielded fraction
ally. The Tatter stock was especially hard
pressed, but while it was forced down below 46
for the first time in many weeks the result of
the raid was a loss of less than a point.
The dullness was the principal feature at Cue
opening and most stocks were but slightly
changed from last evening's figures, Missouri
Pacific being the only exception, with a gain of
per cent, Tennessee Coal was the strong
leatnre, although St. Paul 'was very active and
slowly advanced, and these two stocks monopo
lized the market during the forenoon, when
the bears got toworktoward noon. Manhattan
was the first to give way and Tennessee Coal
followed, losing a large portion of the early
gain, but the pressure was transferred to the
Coalers, and Lackawanna and Reading be
came the leaders, both in activity and weak
ness. The extreme decline outside of Manhat
tan, however, was only 1 per cent, in Rock
island, and the effort was given up toward de
livery hour, when the market settled-down to
dullness and stagnation, and finally closed dull
and steady at but slight changes in most of the
list.
T?lie dullness extended to the dealings in rail
road bonds, and while as in shares there were a
large number of issues traded In, the aggregate
amount of business done was small, and no
special animation was shown in any one issue.
The sales reached'Sl.317,000. There was consid
erable irregularity in the market, but a firm
tone prevailed In most parts of the list, and
while the final changes in but few cases are for
more than fractional amounts, advances are
most numerous. The most conspicuous up
ward movements were Syracuse, Binghamton
and New York firsts 4, to 139; Green Bay firsts
7, to 83; Illinois Central registered 3Jf s 2, tp
92: Mahoning Coal firsts 2, to 111; Chattanooga
seconds 2. to 113, and Utah Southern Extension
78 29, to 105.

There has been an active movement in but

men report a livelier trade to-day than for some
weeks past, but there is still wide room for im
provement before business becomes satisfac

garine dealers nave stimulated butter trade.
The adrent of Lent has brought greater ac

can be reported in fruit and vegetable trade.
Potatoes, onions and cabbage are as dull as
ever, and, if possible, more so as the time for
new crop approaches. Choice apples and trop

is nothing akin to a boom in either line.

Groceries.
In general grocery lines the strong factors are
coffee and sugar. The firmness of package cof
fee shows that times were ripe for the late ad
vance, and points to another rise before many
days. Lake herring have dropped in the past
week, owing to competition and cutting on the
part of leading dealers. Prices at reduction
are ruinous to all concerned, as the herring
cannot be produced at present quotations with
out loss. Dealers in salted fish report a decided
improvement in trade the past week, and
greater activity than a year ago at this time.
