LARGE SUrPLY OP MAPLE SYRUP. Tussle of Balls and Bears at Last Sends Hour Downward. HESS POEK LOWERLAM) STEADY. Office of Pittsburg Dispatch,! Monday. ilrch 18, 1SS9. J Everything that propitious weather could do for trade has been done the past week. It is a rare thing that a March week fur nishes at much balmy weather as the week just closed has done. There has been an active moTement In butter, cges and cheese. The greatest activity has been in butter, a fact which is easily accounted for, as the oleomar garine trade has practically ceased in the past week or two in this city. Butter shippers have found a large outlet for trad here, which was closed against them until recently. Pittsburg has been ono of the poorest butter markets in the land for a year past, owing to the failure to enforce laws against oleo. Kow that the door has been closed against imita tions of butter, it is opened wide for the genu ine article, and hence trade in the latter has been greatly stimulated. There has, however, been no advance in prices. In fact, creamery butter is off 1c per pound In the past week, s prices were reduced that amount at Elgin on Monday. The mild weather has had the effect of easing prices of cegs, and rates are off lc from Saturday last. Contrary to common Lenten experience, cheese is quiet, and this, in face of the fact that supply is below the average at this time. The old stock of Ohio cheese is not often as well cleaned up at this season of the j ear as it is now. New cheese begins to come in from the West. Domestic swcitzer coes very slow, and except for high grades holders are dis posed to make concessions on prices. It has ' been' many years since cheese was as quiet at this time of the year. A hew Feature. Among the new produce features of the week has been heavy receipts of new maple syrup from Geauga" and Trumbull counties, Ohio. One Liberty street firm reports sales of nearly 1,000 gallons of home made nectar. A repre sentative of Tuttle and Harmon Burton, Geau ga, county, Ohio, who are among the largest producers and traders in this line in the land, was seen to-day by The Dispatch commercial reporter. He reports tho season as having been a very favorable one for gathering maple syrup. Frosty nights and sunny days in Feb ruary are regarded as the best weather for the outflow of sap. The product of Geauga coun ty for this season is estimated at 450,000 pounds of sugar and 100,000 gallons of svrup. This county stands first in this line. About 5 per cent of its product finds its market in this city, which is regarded a one of the best points for their trade by producers. In the line of vegetables anU fruit the week closes without any sign of improvement in trade. About as poor stuff as tradesmen can operate in these times is the staple vegetable. Potatoes, onions, cabbage, are no good, and ap pear to be growing more so every neek. The truth is there has been too much of everything that farmers and gardeners raise the past sea son. Now as the new crop begins to loom up from the sunny South, the old is in less de mand. A Tumble In Wheni. In the line of cereals, the feature of the week has been the big tumble in heat and the con sequent drop in flour. While the wheat flurry is to some extent speculative, bulls and bears being in a life and death struggle for suprem acy, there is no doubt that the drift ot things is toward a loner level ot prices. Flour has fallen 23c per barrel in tho week and is easj at the decline. Holders of flour report more in quiries in the past few dajs, and believe an ac tive movement is near. The only active article in cereal lines is shelled corn which is reported scarce. In the early part of the week hog products moved f reel v. but the active movement was not sustained. There has Deen a decline of 40c per barrel on mess nork since last Monday. Witb this exception provisions are steady. Lard holds its own at prices of last week. Looking all along trade lines, it can be said in all good con-sci"- o that the week shows some imorove menr Jid a better tone to trade. There is. honever, large room for further improvement before trade is on a satisfactory basis. LIVE STOCK MARKETS. Condition of tho Market at the East Liberty Stock Yard.

Chicago The volnme of trading in wheat to-day was rather light Largo floor traders did but comparatively little, and other opera tors awaited developments.

May opened & higher, quickly turned on free offerings and sold off lc, advanced Kc, then declined l?$c, again advanced and finally closed o lower than Saturday. Juno closed Jic lower and July He lower. . European markets were quoted dull ana weaker, but probably the principal weakening influence was the reported panicky feeling in financial circles in Paris.

The Marh LaneExprest, in its weekly review of the British grain trade, says: English wheat values are lower. It is frequently impossible to effect sales. Prices in Scotland are oven lower than in England. The sales of English wheat dunng the past week were 6L423 quarters at SOs 2d. against 77.- 228 quarters at 30s 6d during the correspond ing week last year. Most toreign wheat fell 6d. Flour is weak, although the supply of foreign is moderate. In London barley has declined a fraction. In the majority of country markets prices have hardened. A larger quantity of com causes weakness in some cases, while in others prices are in sellers' favor. Oats have improved 3dCd. The demand does not equal the hopes of holders. Rye a trifle firmer. At to-day's market English wheat was In moderate request at last Monday's prices. Foreign was weaker. There was no speculation. Flour was unchanged. The recent arrivals are not satis factory. Round corn was in fair retail request at the very low prices accepted last Monday. Flat corn was 3d cheaper on theaeek. There was a very small fresh supply of oats and prices advanced 3d. Drygoods Market. New Yobk. March 18. The week opened favorably in the drygoods market but less activity is anticipated than developed last week, fewer buyers being in the .market The jobbing trade was specially less active in cotton dress goods, because of an anction sale of 1,500 cases of west brook fine dress ginghams an nounced for Thursday. Trade was fair In other fabrics. With agents business tend to improve as regard general demand.

Just a Bint of the Biggest Real Estate Dicker of Kecent Timei A SUBUKBAN LANDMARK DOOMED. Local Easiness Hen Favor the Enactment of a National Bankrupt Law. GEOEGIA S0LYISG THE COLOR PEOBLEM A real estate dealer opened his mouth wide enough yesterday to. say that he or somebody else had just consummated a deal amounting to probably $200,000, but he im mediately retired into his shell, and not a word of the particulars could be obtained. The deal presumably relates to the com pletion of the sale of a 250-acre tract of un improved land in an eastern suburb, to which reference was made a few days ago. The Kelly mansion at Wilkinsburg one of tho most venerable and interesting landmarks In the vlllaga is doomed to demolition. It stands almost in the center of Hay street, the opening of which necessitates the destruction of the old manse. Upon tho failure of Mr. Kelly, about 1878, the house, with several hun dred acres of land, became the property of the National Bank of Commerce. After Mr. Kelly's death, In 1881, by an arrangement with the bank Jiis two daughters acquired the right to occupy the house so long as they lived. As this private agree ment conflicted with the interests of the borough, it was declared invalid, and the house condemned. Being constructed of bonlders gathered along the adjacent creek, its removal is impossible. It will, therefore, be torn down. The house has an interesting history. Erect ed in 1796, it is one of the oldest buildings in the county lacking bat seven years of round ing out a century of existence. The first occu pant was aVirginia gentleman, who resided in it for many years. He was a planter and grew laree quantities of tobacco, besides cereals, the work being done by slaves, of whom'he owned about 50. Some of these died on the place and were buried there. Mr. Kelly then became the owner, and occupied the house up to the time of his death. Forty or 50 years ago it was considered the finest residence in the county, excluding Pittsburg. The inside finish is ele gant and elaborate, but shows the effect of age. It has been the scene of many a social gather ing, which will be remembered by the survivors of those who took part in them. On January 1 several acres of land in the pro posed borough of Edgewood were laid out in building lots and put on the market They were gobbled up so fast that on Saturday only three or four of them remained unsold This furnishes additional proof that the local real estate market is on the j amp. The prices paid for these lots 5500 to SLO00 were very reason able, considering the big demand for them The revival of the agitation for a national bankrupt law is regarded favorably by Pitts burg business men. One of them said yester day: "It is just what the country needs. It would do more than anything else to place business on a solid footing. Seller and buyer would know just where they stood. It would increase the purchasing power of tho country by at least 50 per cent As it is, business men are at a disadvantage The insolvent laws of the States differ so radically that even lawyers do not understand them. To illustrate: A Pittsburg iron manufacturer sold a large bill to a customer in Iowa. Before the note matured, the customer took the benefit of the bankrupt law. The case was turned over to our lawyer who found himself compelled to employ an Iowa attorney to manage the case. This was not only expensive, but it consumed a great deal of time A general bankrupt law would do away with this difficulty. The law being the same everywhere, would soon become familiar to the legal fraternity, as well as to business men. I hope such pressure will be brought to bear upon Congress as will compel that body to pass the law." A prominent Georgian, who is now in the city, remarked yesterday that the business re vival in that State was still in full swing. He said: "New enterprises are starting up in al most every town, while old ones are being strengthend by additions of facilities and capital. Iron, coal and coke are the leading in dustries, and they are being worked for all there is in them. Northern skill and capital are at the head of some of the large concerns, but others are being successfully managed by Southern men backed by Southern money. Georgia is acknowledged to be the leading Southern State in productive energy andcapac ity. Governor Brown, old as he is, is the leader of the progressive element of the population, while Senator Colquitt, who preached in East Liberty Sunday night, marshals the conserva tives. But we pay very little attention to poli tics. Business is everything. The race ques tion is solving itself. The colored people have developed wonderfully in the past few years. As they become educated they get a better understanding of their duties as citizens. The result is they are less clannish than in any other Southern State, and more industrious. We help them both with money and advice. The two races are working side by side with out the least friction." ;The building inspectors of Philadelphia are in hot water, and their removal is demanded by a committee of the City Councils. Among the accusations against them is the following: "They have permitted the law to be violated, until to-day the acts of Assembly and ordi nances of Councils have become, practically, a dead letter, so that our city, in many sections, is being built up in such a manner as to be very little more than a tinder box, only waiting a spark of fire to spread disaster in every di rection." It is only fair to say that the in spectors deny the charges, and say their ac cusers don't know anything about the business. KEC0TEES LOST GE0UND. Westln(thone Electric Slakes n Spnrt That bnrprlses the Brokers. Westinghouse Electric came up smilingly yesterday and recovered nearly all of its lost ground.

B0EE0WEE8 COMING OUT. The French Copper Panic Affecting the Locnl Money Market. There is increasing tightness in the money market, due, mainly, to the embarrassed French copper syndicate drawing large sums from this country to bolster up the losses. The result of this on the local market Is that discount rates are firmer and shading less frequently resorted to.

The oil market opened weak yesterday In sympathy with stocks. The fear of a squeeze in money also bad a depressing influence. The opening price was 89. and the market hung between that and 89 until the last hour, when it sold down to 89. There was a rally just before the close to 9J, which were the final figures. A wide-awake operator said he looked for a lower level of values to-day. It was his opinion that the market would fall to about 88 and fluctuate between that and 90 for some time.

Wall Street Depressed br the Gravity of the Situation Abroad and Stories of Kate Catting nt the West Bonds Stronger New York, March 18. The stock market to-day, after a strong opening, was weak and active throughout the session, and, under the lead of the Grangers, everything is materially lower than on Saturday. The market turned to-day on the gravity of the situation abroad and the further trouble over rates in the West, and although there was a confident feeling at the opening the selling soon began, and the de clines which were then inaugurated ceased onlv with the close of business. The early rumors from Fans and London stated that the Soclete des Metax had stopped payment, that the Comptoire d'Escompte had been placed In the hands of a receiver, and that copper bad had a marked fall since Saturday. These ptories met with a feeble denial, but were sub stantially corroborated before the decline had made much headway, and while It was later stated that the Comptoire d'Escompte was meeting all its obligations the feeling was very despondent Modes of cutting of rates by the Rock Island were the principal elements of discord in the dlpatches from the West, but this was supple mented by free selling of all the Western stocks, especially by Chicago, and an operator from that center was openly giving out selling orders. The railroad earnings for the second week in March reported show gains with but one exception, but the good news of whatever sort had no effect whatever In tho discouraged state of mind prevalent in the room. The Grangers were the chief feature. Only St Paul was helped up to any extent, while the losses among the others ranged from 2o 4 Eer cent, with Atchison, Burlington and Rock sland most prominent Missouri Pacific be came the leader of the downward movement in the afterpoon, however, and had soon caught np with the others. New England and Pacific Mail wcro the only stocks outside the West erners which showed any special weakness, but the decline reached all portions of the list and no strength developed anywhere in the list Tho specialties and low-priced shares were comparatively quiet although Big Four, Chi cago Gas and Short Line were weak. The opening was made at advances extending to per cent but the Grangers felt the pressure im mediately and Rock Island was the first to give way, followed before noon by Burlington and Quincy and Texas Pacific There were a few slight rallies in the forenoon,but they were of short duration and amounted to nothing. Missouri Pacific became the leador after 12 o'clock, but Atchison followed, and on a very large business the losses in those stocks be came unusually prominent There was another halt toward delivery hour, but in the last hour the decline was resumed with all its force and the market closed active and very weak at the lowest prices ot the day. Everything on the list is lower, bnt the most important losses were: Atchison, 3; Missouri Pacific, 3; Bur lington and Quincv. 3; Rock Island. 2J; Northwestern, 1J& -New England, 1; Texas Pacific and Pacific Mail,l each, and Short Line and Chicago Gas 1 per cent, with others fractional amounts. Railroad bonds were somewhat mora active, and showed more feature than usual last week, and while the market was heavy it showed no marked movements like those in shares. The sales were only $1,432,000. but to that amount Texas Pacific seconds contnbuted $169,000, the firsts $106,000, and the Denver and Rio Grande Western assented bonds $105,000. Almost every thing is lower, but there was some irregularity and a few marked advances were recorded. The declines include Texas Pacific firsts 2. atbfl, and South Carolina firsts 2, at 93. The important advances were Denver and Rio Grande 5s 1, to 82; Louisville and Nashville trust 6s 1, to 112U; Chattanooga firsts to 133; Duluth and Manitoba firsts to 108; Western Pacific 6s 2. to 115. and others Smaller amounts.

American Producers Likely to Suffer From Competition In Netherlands India. The United States Consul at Batavia, Java, says: A trial consignment of 2,000 cases of Rus sian petroleum has been landed at this port, and 10,000 cases have also been received by the same firm at Sourabaya. This experiment has been discussed for two years or more, hut it was not until the last of November that the project took the practical form above indi cated. Sales of part cargoes were made easily at 3,625 guilders per case, while the American article was quoted at 8.65 guilders per case only. No other importer has, up to the present, fol lowed this example, as it is too early vet to learn the result of the experiment Should the oil prove, however, sufficiently satisfactory as to meet the needs of the native population, with whom cheapness is the most powerful ar gument the interests of American producers in this line are likely to suffer from a competi tion which, until now, has been absent from one ot their best markets in the East. Next to piece goods, petroleum has be come of preponderating importance In the import trade, as there is scarcely any other country where the use of this oil has extended with such rapidity as in Netherlands India, At all events, the contrast with British India is marked, for that immense territory, with its 100,000,000 population, does not consume, on an average, more than three-quarters of a liter per person, while Java's 27,0u0,000 only require 3 liters at least on an average for each person. In 1886 the import for Netherlands India was 17,467.560 gallons, and in 1887, 15,661,800 gallons, while the amount received for the past year also promises to reach the latter figure. BOSTON STOCKS.

J Country Prodnce Jobblne Prices. The Week is not far enough along to famish reliable pointers in produce lines. The mild weather of the past week has weakened prices of eggs. To-day the best in market can be had at lie in job lots. A single case is sold at 15c Florida cabbage begins to come in freely, and old stock is hard to sell at any price. "Old things are passing away." The time is near when last season's stuff must take a back seat. The farmers who disposed of their stock last fall were wisest. A leading commission mer chant said to day: "I laid in a good supply of vegetables and fruits last fall, in the. faith that in the early spring things would be scarce and I would reap a nice profit. This season, how ever, has upset all caculatlons." Prices are no better than in the fall, on some , things not as good. A large percentage in some lines has been lost by rot. Taking the season's trade all through the majority of produce men have been losers. It has been the worst season on record for the dealer who bad capital and in vested it in produce in the fall.
