All Grades of Leather Cheaper Because of Cheap Bides. THE TVHEAT AAD FLOUE SITUATION office of fittsbueo Dispatch, 1 TUESDAY. M.rch 19, 1SS9. J A leadine harness maker of the city who has been familiar frith the trade for a half century furnishes some facts pertaining to this Important industry which it is believed will be of interest to the reader of The Dis patch. His view of the situation is substan tially as follows: - Harness leather tanners of Allegheny hare been increasing their capacity for the past year or two, until they are now able to turn out an amount of stock fully double their capacity fire j ears ago. It appears that they bare cone somen hat beyond the demands of trade and find themselves overstocked this spring. We are now passing throuch what might be called an interregnum, in other words the surplus stock must be worked off before trade comes to a satisfactory basis. The harness leather trade has been develop ing year by year, until this city has become one of the recognized centers in this line through out the world of commerce. Manufacturers, having now reached out a little too far, must wait until trade catches up, which it is fast doing. February w as a very quiet month with our harness makers. Since the beginning of March there has been a decided improvement, and all signs now point to a good spring trade. Certain it is that Pittsburg will feel the beneSt of a revival in harness as soon as any other point, as her goods in this line are at a pre mium everywhere. The products of the Alle gheny harness leather tanneries have an ad vantage of fully J c per pound in the world's markets, and will, as a matter of course, be the first to enjoy the benefit of a trade revival. Lower Prices Expected. For cheaper grades of harness prospects are that this season's prices will be below anything for a score of years. Hides have not been so low since before the war as they have been in recent weeks. Price of hides now is not above one-half what it was a decade ago. The depre ciation has affected most low grade harness leather. The manufacturer who furnishes these facts deals mainly in the high grade ar ticle, his customers in the main demanding the best in this line. In this line of harness prices will touch a lower level this season than for many years past. Tanners complain that not withstanding the low price of hides competi tion is now so sharp that margins are well nigh wiped out. A representative of one of the leading tanneries of Allegheny whose trade is In soecial lines says: "Our margin of profit is almost gone. How our competitors in New England can keep their business going at pres ent prices is a mystery to me. In the amount of leather we are turning out we have an ad vantage of 510,000 a year over those New En gland tanneries in the matter of .hark alone. Ana still we have all we can do at present prices to come out even." This statement was referred to an old-time leathermannfacturer, who said that tanners in the East have an advantage in the lower price of labor which offsets the higher price of bark. Wheat and Floor. The current number of the Minneapolis JUiller finds it difficult to decide between the arguments of bulls and bears in the wheat and flour situation. Bulls say there is no move ment of wheat because there is none to move. Bears say that fine seeding prospects and breaking up of country roads are good reasons for the light movement. Very little wheat has been coming in from farmers' bins this month. The JfiWer' estimate of the amount ot visible supply of wheat east of the Rocky Mountains is 50,000,000 bushels less than at this time last year. Notwithstanding this shortage, demand con tinues very light, and unfavorable news comes from every quarter of the globe as to flour prospects. At Minneapolis there was a decline of 20c per barrel last week and 40c in the past month. Pittsburg jobbers report that markets have been cut here for a week or two past. The drift of flour has been toward a lower level of prices the world oyer the past month or two. The unfortunates who stocked up at old rates have in vain tried to stem the downward drift, and even lower prices are not,improbable. IJT STOCK MARKETS.

Wheat Drops Under the Influence of Re ported Continental Selling Orders Corn Lower Oats Barely Steady Hob Products Weak and Un settled. Chicago. There was a fair trading in wheat to-day, and the feeling consider ably unsettled within a lower range of .prices. Influences coreming the market were' again mostly local. May opened a 6hade under yes terday's closing, but advanced Jic, then de clined 2c nnder rather free o'fferings, recov ered lie, and closed about 1c lower than yes terday. June closed c lower; July declined lc, and closed c lower than yesterday. The market started out easy, Influenced by the continued favorable weather here and dull and heavy cable advices. It was noticed that there was considerable wheat on sale at the advance, and the impression was that a prominent local trader was the principal seller. This, together with a denial of the rumor alluded to about the California ship ments to Australia and reports that there were a good many continental selling orders on the seaboard, caused a steady decline. Corn ruled active, and though fluctuations kept within a narrow range, the volume of business in the aggregate was larger than for several days past. The temper of the crowd was decidedly bearish, and repeated efforts were made to break the market Trading was confined to the May-future largely, while the nearer deliveries were -quite neglected at times. The easier feeling was attributed chiefly to large receipts, both present and prospective. The market opened at yester day's closing, fluctuated within a Jic range, closing KKC lower than yesterday. Oats were fairly active and unsettled. A feature of the trading was the strength and ac tivity in May and the weakness and decline in June and July. The firmness in the former was due to purchases by a local operator who caused an advance of Hc, an attempt to un load, however, resulting in a reaction and a de cline of He followed. The latter part of the session was marked by quietness and steadi ness and the last sales were at nearly inside prices. Only a moderate trade was done in hog products, and a weak feeling prevailed during the greater portion of the session. Speculative offerings were rather free early, and prices declined materially on all the leading articles. Later the demand improved somewhat and prices rallied again, but settled back to about medium figures. Near the close the feeling was firmer, and prices advanced to outside figures, closing steady.

The Turtle Creek Company Well Down 1,400 Feet. REAL ESTATE STILL VERY LIVELY. One of the Sharpest Swindles of the Age Just Come to light. ELECTIC STOCK FLIES TEEI HIGH The Turtle Creek Oil and Gas Company is pushing the work on its well on the Montgomery farm. The well has been drilled to a depth of 1,400 feet, with good indications of gas, but it will be sunk 200 feet deeper. It is -in the same belt as the Wilklnsburgwell. The company is sanguine of developing a regular roarer. . The real estate market continues to show great activity. Private sales occur dally. They include many important pieces of property both in the city and suburbs, ana represent large values. Sales by agents and dealers are numerous. Auction aales are also frequent, some very fine properties changing hands in this wy. Values are steady, with a hardening tendency. Fears have been expressed of a collapse, but jt is hard to conceive of a tumble in anything with a good cash demand to bold it up. Beside, most of the unimproved ground that has been sold within the past year or two has been utilized for residence purposes, thus practically taking it out of the market and lessening the chances of a squeeze, of which there is no sign on the business horizon. There are said to be tricks in all trades. The latest verification of the saying comes from London. The ' fraud is very ingenious, and shows that our English cousins can hold their own in more ways than one with the Yankees or any other people So tar as known the swin dle has not been imported to this country. A short time ago John Matthews was arraigned before a police magistrate in London for dye ing cloverseed. The prosecuting attorney, In opening the case said: "The prosecution is taken up by some of the largest seed merchants in Mark Lane, and the reason for its being taken up is that for many years past very great frauds have been going on in reference more particularly to cloverseed. If it is mixed with old seed there is a very large diminution ot the germinating power. Therefore it is not only a question of defrauding the seed merchant, (be cause of course if they could dye old cloverseed to give it the appearance of new, they are en abled to undersell the bona fide merchants dealing In that article), but it is also defraud ing the farmers who purchase from the merchant, because when they have sown their seed instead of coming up in the proper way it does not come np at all. The process which lias been adopted for a long time has been to buy up old worn out cloverseed, and submit it to a certain process of dyeing. This having gone on for some time, the large merchants in the trade made up theirfminds to pnt a stop to it." The defendant was fined $50 and costs. The full name of the bank, the failure of which, in 1873, was noted in this department a few days ago, was the Nation's Trust Company. This statement is made to remove the impres sion that has grown up in certain quarters since the publication of the item that it was in some way connected with the Nation's Bank for Savings, Allegheny City, of which John A. Myler is President. It was a totally different concern as well in its business methods as in its name. The Allegheny institntion is con trolled by gentlemen of high character and responsibility.

Money was in good supply at 66 per cent, according to the collateral. The only effect of the French flurry here is to make financiers more cautious. There are no fears of a pinch.

The Scarcity of Certificates Proves a God send to tho Bnlls. The oil market was a little stronger yester day, caused by a scarcity of certificates. An Oil City dispatch read: "Certificates here are as scarce as hens' teeth." The price at the opening was 89v From this point the market gradually worked up to 90Jc and then slumped, with sales at 90c This was followed by a rally to 90c. from which it broke back to 90c and closed at 90c. But for fear of a squeeze the market would have closed lower. Futures were offered the same as regular. The higher opening of stocks in New York and more favorable news from Europe doubtless had the Effect to sustain prices. A. B.

Stocks Rally from the Depression Caused by Copper Flurry and Advance All Along the Line Railroad Bonds Qnlet. New York, March 19. There was a very marked change in the temper of the stock speculation to-day, and.the entire list, with the exception of the Grangers and the Southwest ern stocks, advanced materially, the upward movement being steady and meeting with hardly a check throughout the day. This was on the revulsion of feeling from the scare of yesterday, and although the situation abroad may be bad enough, it Is evidently not so bad as was reported yesterday, and the fact begins to be apparent that there is little to be feared from the collapse in this country. The buying to-day was of the best character, London leading off with liberal purchases of all of its favorites, while Chicago did not send the batch of disquieting reports which has been the usual thing to do, and the shorts also cov ered heavily in, the general list, although in the Grangers and Southwesterns it is doubtful if the short Interest has been reduced at all by the transactions of the day. The only piece of news calculated to affect the market unfavorably was the report of the Burlington and Quincy, which was something worse than had been expected, and the issue was the signal for another drive at the stocks mentioned, although Bock Island was the principal sufferer. Missouri Pacific was the only strong spot among Ibe roads in that region, and it is one of'tbe leaders in showing a marked advance this evdning, on the report that Mr. Gould's visit to the Southwest was, in part, in regard to a movement to bring about better relations among the roads in that sec tion. The improvement among the other stocks was very uniform and steady, although in many cases the losses of yesterday were not f nlly recovered. The most pronounced gains, as usual, were among the specialties and Manhattan, Full man and some others, especially in the last hour became very strong. In the last hour sev eral specialties came to the front and the high est prices of the day were reached in all de partments of the list, and the market closed active and strong at the top Azures. Every thing on the list is higher, however, and Man hattan rose 2; Missouri Pacific, 2; Cleveland. Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis, 1: New England, 1: Burlington and Quincv, 1; Atchison, 1; Chicago Gas, Canada Southern, Louisville and Nashville, and Texas Pacific, 1 each; Pacific Mail, 1; Northwestern, 1; St. Paul, Union Pacific, and Norfolk and West ern preferred, 1 each; Rock Island, Pullman, and Western Union, 1 percent each, and the others fractional amounts. The railroad bond market was again qnlet and failed to respond to the strength or anima tion m the share list. Tho sales of all issues were only $1,235,000, but out of that amount Denver and Bio Grande Western Assented bonds contributed $130,000, and the Texas Pacific second incomes $111,000. There was no decided tone to the dealings, but fluctuations were small, except in a few issues, and the im portant changes are few in number and fairly divided between gains and losses.

The few 'stocks that suffered most in the slump of the last few days were strong and higher this morning, but bonds and quite a number of stocks showed no im provement. On the contrary, they took even a lower range of prices than those reached yes terday. In the afternoon the market developed additional strength, with West End the special feature in addition to the morning's favorite. The tone at the close was quite firm, an excel lent recovery from yesterday's decline has been made, due in the most part, however, to the covering by the shorts, as no Increase in me investment aemauo. maae its appearance Atch.ftToo..lst7s. 117 A.&T.

Heayy Grain and Hay Eeceipts No Sales at the Exchange. FLOOR IS Q0IET AT THE DECLINE Office of THEPrrrsBtrRO Dispatch, TrESDAT, March 19. 1889. $ Country Produce Jobbing Prices. Creamery butter shows drooping tendencies under the Influence of late balmy weather. The same is true of eggs. Spring has made such an early start that hens already begin to get in their work. Dairy butter usually begins to show up about April L As the season for the new approaches old stock is moro and more depressed. Eggs are now little above midsum mer prices. Demand is light by reason of de clining markets. Stock comes in more freely than it goes out. The band to mouth policy is pursued by dealers in the, present condition of markets, when the drift is downward. Cus tomers pursue this policy in the faith they will be able to buy lower in a few days. Produce men find little comfort in the situation. As new stuff is coming in from tbe South, the old grows weaker every day.

Cereal markets give little signs of life. The situation is in the buyers' favor all along the line. Wheat Is a few cents above the lowest point reached last week, but flour con tinues easy and demand light. Jobbers who laid in heavy stocks ot flour a month ago will find it difficult to come out whole. In that time there has been a drop of almost 60c per barrel at Minneapolis.
