BEADS MOVEMENTS. t, Jobbers of Millinery Beport a Satis factory Opening. .eL EAKSAS CUSTOMERS TO THE FRONT Eitnatlon and Outlook of Trade Good in Lines of Apparel, 5 BUT POOE IX ALL EATABLE LINES OFFICE OF FITTSBUBQ DISPATCH,! TUESDAY. Jlirch 12, ISSa. J The spring opening of the wholesale mil liner? trade last week, was the' most en couraging sign of the times, that the com mercial reporter or The Dispatch has discovered this season. It is pleasant, alter bearing daily complaints of tbe deadness of trade to find a department where the sunny view is taken. Come what will, the millinery jobbers of Pittsburg never fail to have their spring opening the first week of March, Then the season's styles are shown to retail dealers, who come from all surrounding towns to equip themselves for the coming campaign, receive pointers as to fashions, and how to use mate rials for new styles of head gear. Reports of last week's opening are most encouraging. Fo'lowing is the statement of one of our job bing millinery firms: "We have never had as satisfactory an opening or a better outlook for for trade. Sales were not so very large last week and wc did not expect this. Tbe aim of onr March Opening. is to get our customers here, show them goods, make the impression which will bring in orders from now on till June. On the three opening days we were thronged every day, and all bands were as busy as bees showing goods and styles. Our customers came from as far East as Altoona and West as Crestline. Already we begin to see results of the opening in tbe orders coming in, and you may put it down for our branch of trade that there will be no falling off this season, but a gain. Tbe situation and out look for onr business was never better at this time of the year. A member of another jobbine firm spoke in the same strain, ana stated, amocc other things, that a new customer from Kansas5 was present at the opening and left a comfortable order for goods. It was pleasant to hear that a retail millinery establishment beyond the Mississippi should be furnished by onr city of heavy weight industries in preference to Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati. To send glass, rails, locomotives and such like to the far west was glory enough, but thanks to the enterprise of our jobbers we begin to send feathers, laces and other paraphernalia that jto to crown the ladies of the land. Dry Goods. Tbe season is scarcely far enough on to fur nish satisfactory pointers of tbe prospects in wholesale drygoods lines. Trade so far shows no falling from last season. In fact, the vol ume of business has been better than a year ago at this time, and that season was an im provement on tbe previous one. The time is here when the spring trade should be under f nil headway. Bough weather the past week has checked the movement of trade, but a more hopeful feeling begins to spring up as the skies begin to brighten. A few days of bright weather and a settling of country roads, into a passable condition is expected to bring the activity to trade which has not failed from year to year. It is in the line of materials for the inner man that dealers complain most of this spring. Tbe earth was too bountiful last season for the producer, or produce dealer. But in the line of goods for the comfort and adornment of tbe body, the feeling among jobbers generally is that trade is fair and outlook good. This fact has been developed by freqnent interviews with jobbers in woolens, clothing, gents' furnishing goods. The closeness of margins is generally com plained of in these lines of trade, but volnme shows an increase on last year or f ormeryears, and unless jobbers are far astray in calcula tions, a good year for trade is before us.

Trading in wheat to-day was active and the feeling again unsettled and nervous. Local Influences governed the market and the general impression was that some of the large bull traders were selling out their May wheat. Interest centered principally in May, which opened a shade weaker, and alter numerous fluctuations declined to a point 4c below yesterday's closing and closed 3Kc lower. The offerings were very heavy most of the day and a great deal of long wheat was unloaded, though on the break considerable buying was done on the part of shorts, who had sold at the higher prices. This buying caused occasional rallies, but the feeling was very weak. July, on the other hand, ruled comparatively steady and soldc and over and lie under yesterday's closing fig ure, and closed lie below. There was good buying for this delivery, and at the same time not a great quantity offered.Tbe fact that there is no support for tbe May future accounts for the drop in prices. A moderate business was transacted in com and the feeling was comparatively firm, con sidering the weak tone of wheat. The activity of the other markets withdrew interest from the pit and trading was local and fluctuations were confined within KJsc range. There was less activity in oats, but a ralr business transpired within a narrower range of prices. There was an absence of the heavy realizing by the longs th-t characterized the trading yesterday. Shorts were free buyers and a steadier feelingprevalled. Considerable interest centered in mess pork and trading was quite active. Prices ruled irregular though somewhat higher. An ad vance of 3035c as gained about the middle of the session and moderately supported. Ex treme figures, however, mere not fnlly main tained. Lard and short ribs sympathized closely with pork.

It appears that GSL,G63. tons of refining and foundry pig iron were produced in Belgium during the year 18S8, of which 9,800 tons were exported. The remainder, however, did not suffice to cover tbe consumption of the coun try, and 212,813 tons of pig Iron and 25,211 tons of old rails had to be imported by the Belgian Iron Wrorks. The bar and sheet mills pro duced 548,055 tons, as against 532,103 tons in 18S7. The Belgian Iron Works continue to compete successfully In distant markets, and it is said that tbe Cockerlll Company recently secured a contract for 50,000 tons of rails in the Argentine Republic On of the steel works has obtained an order for 700 tons of rails for China, but it is supposed that this contract has been sub-let by a iintlsh firm.

STATUS OP THE COUNTY BRIDGES. Brokers Take Strong Ground Against the Pending Special Tax Bill. DIAM0XD ALLEY PEOPERTrir? DEMAND The most important real estate transac tion that has taken place in Allegheny City for some time was consummated yesterday. The fine residence property the building of modern construction, and large lot of Mr. Eobert Marshall, on "Western avenue, was bought by Mr. JohnWalker for 555,000. He will move into it in a short time. Con sidering the eligible location of the prop erty on one of tbe finest avenues of the city, the price is considered very reasonable. It is understood the agents in the transaction were Messrs. James W. Drape t Co, County Engineer Davis has finished his an nual report to the Commissioners and Con troller, and it is now in the bands of the print er. Concerning the bridges of the county, of which there are rearly 200, he says they are the best in the State and generally in good condi tion. He recommends for renewals, new work and repairs about $100,000, of which sum the Commissioners have allowed 65,000. Of this amount $16,000 will be expended on the Neville Island bridge. The rest of the money will bo mainly expended in repairing and painting old ones. There is a necessity for a number of new bridges, but they will not be built this year on account of lack of funds. While Engineer Davis speaks highly of the bridges, he says tbe roads are the worst in the State, falling far below tbe requirements of the business of the county, and while the present law exists he ex pects no material improvement. He favors a new law that will place the roads under tbe control of a responsible head, and making It obligatory on him to keep them in good condi tion. The New zork Graphic is considerably worked up over the meat question. As this is a subject of great interest to Pittsburg, what the paper says is herewith reproduced: "Be tween the dressed beef bills, the woeful cries of cattle ranchmen, the coming inter-State convention of cattle producers and the forma tion of a new meat combination, the public is slowly waking up to the fact that tbe prices paid for beef in retail markets is sufficient to yield big commission profits to a dozen middle men. Tbe cost of beef on the hoof on the range is scarce one-seventh what it is sold for on the block. An $18 or $20 range steer brings from $125 to $135. There are feeding, slaughter ing, freight and other expenses to be consid ered, but even when all are taken into account the meat sells at a ratio to cost of three or four to one. There is little wonder that new com binations are formed to handle meat when such profits are going. Members of the petroleum. Stock and Metal Exchange, after the close of business yester day afternoon, had a meeting to take action to defeat the tax bill pending at Harrisburg. President Arter called the meeting to order, and Henry M. Long, Chairman of tbe Commit tee on Resolutions, presented a report to the effect that if the State is in need of revenue, a license of $50 on all brokers in lieu of all otber taxes on the business would be acceptable to them: or, say, a tax of 5 mills on net receipts instead of on gross earnings, as proposed. The report was adopted. W. S. Arter, W. I. Mus tin and Henry Sproul were appointed a com mittee to go to Harrisburg and argue the case before the Committee on Ways and Means. "Do you know there is a big demand for prop erty on Diamond alley I" remarked a real es tate dealer yesterday afternoon. "At least $100,000 worth ot property on that thoroughfare between Smlthfieid and Market has changed hands within tbe past two months, and I know of several dickers that have not been brought to a head. I am not at 'liberty to give names, bnt wbat I have told you is straight. I look for Diamond alley to becomo one of the best streets of the city." . , " Grape-growing is an important industry in Allegheny county. Tbe following description of the largest vineyard in California, and possi bly the world, that of Senator Leland Stanford, will be of interest to those engaged in the busi ness: Tho estate is in Tehama county, and comprises 40,000 acres, of which 3,500 acres are planted in choice vines. The original vineyard of 75 acres was planted in Mission vines, soon after the first discovery of gold, by an old Frenchman named Gerke. Tbe vines to-day, although 35 years old, are still vigorous. The trunks are as thick as a man's leg. The yield of grapes last year was nine tons to tbe acre. The chief foreign varieties planted at Vina are the Berger, White Chasselas, Reisling and the Napoleon for white wines, and the Zinfandel and Trousseau for clarets. The vinevard is di vided into fields of 500 acres each. Every mod ern appliance for the manufacture of wine is provided by the Senator, but the product is far from choice. The cellars at Vina are large.and tbe nlant is capable of handling 400 tons of grapes per day, an equivalent of 12,000 tons, or 24,000,000 pounds, for the season. SWITCH ON TOP.

The oil market yesterday was the dullest of the year. Trading was very light all round and the range of prices very narrowscarcely sufficient to give dealers a chance to turn an honest penny.

A COLD WAVE Strikes Wall Street and Depresses Stocks The Market WitbontSpecIalFeatnre, bnt Everything SIIghtlrLowcr Railroad BondsQaiet. , - New York, March 12. The stock market to-day was dull and stupid throughout, with very little movement in prices, and after the first hour a general Bagging tendency, which' bad the effect of leaving most shares to-night slightly lower than last evening. The copper sensation has ceased to have any effect upon the stock market, and this morning, notwith standing that the advices from tbe other side in that matter were very favorable, there was no response to the good news. The covering of shorts, which was so marked a feature yester day afternoon, was lacking to-day, and In the absence of any disposition to buy. tbere was nothing to hold quotations outside of the usual small demand, and while there was on the other band no inclination to hammer prices. the market sank into intense dullness, and prices after the first spurt sagged off slowly and be came stagnant. The waiting disposition seems to have again taken bold of the local operators, and after the price of coal has been settled and the meetings of tbe Illinois Central and the St. Paul direct ors are over and we have heard of the final in tention of Commissioner Walker there may be a more decided character to the speculation. There was considerable Irregularity to the movements within tbe narrow limits, and while St. Paul was stubbornly held there was some weakness In tbe afternoon In New England, and during the earlier hours Lackawanna and Manhattan lost a point. Pullman also retired 2 per cent on an insignificant business. Read ing, St. Paul and Lackawanna were the only stocks showing any animation in tbe regular list, but Cotton Oil was again very active, and after a drop of 1 per cent remained in the neighborhood of its lowest figure for tbe re mainder of the day. The movements in the others were entirely insignificant. The opening prices were generally from 14 to per cent above their figures of last evening, and this advantage was further improved in tbe early trading by small fractional advances, which, however, in no tase exceeded J per cent. St. Paul was tbe only really active stock, thoueh Reading, Lackawanna and New Entrland afterward camo to tho front. Tbe strong tone disappeared after tbe first demand was satisneo, ana me list was quicKiy orougm down to below the opening figures, after which the most intense dullness marked the trading and stagnation became the leading characteris tic of tbe market. Lonisville and Nashville showed some strength and New England de clined somewhat in the afternoon, but no otber feature was shown and the close was dull and steady, generally at slight fractions under the opening figures. The final changes are irregu lar, but declines are In a majority, though, ex cept in the case of Pullman, which lost 2 per cent, the changes are for fractional amounts only. Railroad bonds were quiet, and. like tbe stock market, were irregular with but slight changes in quotations and no marked features of any kind. There was some animation in the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western converti bles and the Louisville. New Albany and Chi cago seconds, but while tbe total sales reached $1,207,000, there was no special activity in either. Tbe advances In the list include Har lem firsts, $ to 134.

Tbere continues to be an active movement in eggs and butter, but prices are unchanged. In fact, creamery butter is a shade easier than last week. Tbe retirement of butterlne has largely Increased the volume of butter sales. But it appears that there is enough and to spare In tbe land of the old-fashioned product of tbe churn. Full cream cbeese is active and firm. Low grades, together with Sweitzer and Limburger, are slow. Goshen cheese brings almost as good prices as the best domestic Sweitzer.
