OmCB OT PlITSBTOO DISPATCH,!
K At the frnit and vegetable stalls a fair
week's trade is reported. Delicious new
strawberries from Florida find ready sale at
ir 51 per quart. Home raised cucumbers,
onions and lettuce are in Rood demand. A
leading Diamond Market dealer report that
Pittsburg people do not kick at prices when
they can secure first-class stuff. Crisp borne
raised cucumbers at S5 cents apiece find readier
sale than the common article at half the price.
Fancy restaurants are the best customers for
these high priced garden products, j
Dealers in fresh fish report trade as in a Tery
satisfactory condition. It is Tery evident that
Lent is fully on, and that a large sprinkling of
our population has slacked up on meat con
sumption of late. The fact is seen in dimin
ished trade at butcher stalls, as well as in
greater activity of the fish trade. Fresh fish
are steadily taking the place of the frozen
article. A good supply of fresh shad from
North Carolina has been received the past
week, and prices are much rednced-Xrom last
Saturday. Prices have fallen from $1 SO and
SI 73 to SI a piece for large shad. Trapnet
flsh do not come In till after April 10. Gill
net fish, though not quite up to the trapnet
article in quality, have been coming In freely
this week. The drop in eggs has reached re
tail markets. Two dozen lor 25c of the choicest
have been the rates for a few days back.
Sharp competition at store have brought prices
even below this figure.
At suburban towns storekeepers have not
discovered the fall of eggs. At East Liberty
, and Wilklnsburg the rates have been 16lSc
all the -week. A country peddler reports sell
. ing out his stock to grocers at 13c yesterday.
Among jobbers this statement was accepted
with doubtings, as they have been selling what
they claim to be the very best at 10llc
Florists report a more active trade this week
than last, with prices unchanged.
While wholesale dealers find little improve
ment in the general situation of trade the week
past, the tone is better in retail lines. The new
products of earth and ocean are in good de
mand. "Old things are passing away" and die
hard. The new Is more and more to the front.
Following are latest retail prices of market
basket filling:
Meats.
The prices called for at the Diamond Markets
remain unchanged. The best cuts of tenderloin

Products Are Stronger.
Chicago Wheatwas quiet and ruled steady
until shortly before 1 o'clock, when the market
livened up, and prices took a sudden ud turn.
Not much was dolngin May, though the market
was u sucn a condition that little trading
necessitated fairly wide fluctuations. The open
ing for May was about tho same as yesterday's
closing, and later sold up 4c, receded '5c held
within small range, but covering of shorts
started a 2c advance, and closed 2c higher.
July was weaker early, opening &?ic lower,
advanced with some fluctuations lc, eased off
again, and closed Jc higher than yesterday.
ThewoakuessinJulywasdnoto a light fall
of snow In the North, and rains in the South.
The rains, although reported light, induced
some selling, besides the indications favored
more rain, and the feeling was not so bullish as
during the preceding day or two, though it
closed stronger In sympathy with May.
Corn received but little attention, and the
market was dull and inactive the entire session
Operators showed but little disposition to trade
to any extent, and transactions were confined
within HQiic range The feeling was compar
atively steady ana quotations were about the
same as noted for several days past.
In oats, -trading was lighter, there being llt
tln Hpjurn nn lha nart of ODerators to take
either side of the market with any degree ot
freeuom, ana a quiet ana steady leeiing pre
vailed. Trading was only moderately active in hog
products, and prices averaged higher. Prices
ruled irregular. Early the demand was fairly
active and prices ruled slightly higher, but an
easier feeling prevailed later, and prices re
ceded again. During' the latter part of the
session the market exhibited rather more life
and a firmer feeling was developed. Prices
were suddenly advanced on all descriptions,
and the Improvement was well supported to
the close.

1 STUBB0M FACT
Showing Clearly That Pittsburg is
Far From Being Finished.
EASTERN MONEY NOT WANTED.
A Slight Drop in the Local Stock Market
for Want of Buying Orders.
OIL BATTLED BI WASHIKGTON WELLS
Some careless observer remarked a few
days ago that Pittsburg was finished. A
prominent builder said yesterday that from
the best information he could get not less
than 3,000 houses would be erected in the
city and suburbs this season. That these
houses will all be occupied as soon as built
there can be no doubt. They will afford
room for about 15.000 people a large acces
sion to the population in one year. To speak of
Pittsburg being "finished" in the face of stub-
"born facts to the contrary, is unwise and
foolish.
. .
Henry A Weaver St Co. have placed
the following sums in mortgages dur
ing the present month: One of S60,
000, one of 815,000, one of $7,000, two
of 510,000, three of 95,000, and one In Lawrence
county of S45,00Cin all $162,000-at 4, 5 and 6
per cent This is nearly all home money.
Within the .past month about JL500.000 -has
been placed on mortgages here, the greater
part of whioh was for purchase money. All of
this large amount of cash, with trifling excep
tions, was provided by local capitalists. This
refutes sensational reports of large amounts of
money coming from the East. Of all the
money placed on mortgages in Pittsburg and
vicinity during the past year, fully three
fourths was local capital. This shows that
Pittsburg is fully able to take care of Itself in
money matters.
Workmen are cutting down the hill at Law
enceville to make room for a new station
house, which has been badly needed for a long
time. It will be of the Queen Anne style, re
sembling in its general features the Shadyside
station, which is one of the finest on tho road.
Cincinnati is a great speculative center.
Large deals in grain aud stocks occur there
every day. The same may be said of Baltimore.
New Orleaus,LouisvilIe,MIlwaukee and Minne
apolis. But with all this their bank clearings are
less than those of Pittsburg,and San Francisco,
where speculation in mining stocks is the prin
cipal element of trade, shows only about $1,000,
000 better. This, taken in connection with the
fact, known to all, that speculation is very
small here only a side issue, In fact should
convince the most skeptical that business in
the Gas City is not only active, but on a sound
basis.
The annual fiittlng-time is here, and movers
can be counted by the score. A larger num
ber than usual are setting up their household
gods their lares aud penates in the sub
urbs. By Monday or Tuesday they will be es
tablished in some shape in their new habita
tions. So far the weather has been favorable.
.
One of the finest residences at Edgewood is
built upon ground occupied 60 or 60 years ago
by a gristmill run by water power, which was
patronized by nearly all the people then living
in the Liberty valley. Near by are the ruins of
a brickyard that was operated about the same
time. Time, brains and money have wrought
wonderful changes in that locality since those
old-timers lived, loved and labored in Arcadian
simplicity.
Braddock is to have a street railroad, work
on which will begin early In April. It will ex
tend from Rankin station to Brinton, a dis
tance of about two miles, and will ultimately

Two Bis Washington. County Wells Cause a
Slump.ln.OU.
Several disquieting reports circulated on the
Oil Exchange yesterday served to Inject abear
ish feeling into the opening. The McKeown
well, in the Taylorstown field, was reported
doing 125 barrels in the forenoon and 90 in the
afternoon. This Is the biggest well of recent
times. Following this was the statement that
the Mashey well of Iseman ft Co., at Brush
Creek, was producing at the rate of
450 barrels per day with only three
bits in the sand. But for the evident
scarcity of oil these reports, being veri
fied, would have caused a panic, or something
akin to it. This in a measure neutralized the
effect of the field news. The fact that the
short interest was increased shows that dealers
have strong faith in the staying qualities of the
market and have no very great fears of a ma
terial slump all at once.
The market opened at 90 and gradually sold
down to 89 It reacted during the day and
closed at 90. The highest point of the reac
tion and the close belug the same was doubt
less influenced by fear of a scarcity. Carrying
here was flat at 60 cents premium. It was flat
at New York, 15 cents at OU City and flat at
Bradford. Notwithstanding bullish appear
ances there are dealers who predict a much
lower level before a permanent reaction.

Heavy Selling by the Hob and Sensa
tional Stories Wenkea the Stock
Mnrket Evcrylhlng Dall and
Heavy at the Close.
New York, March 29. The stock market
was more active again to-day and the weakness
In the new stocks, which monopolize the specu
lative interests at present, was even more pro
nounced than at any time yet. As usual of late
about five stocks figured for about 70 percent
ot the total transactions, while the dealings in
all the others were ( small and insignificant,
with Ught fluctuations' andprice well held, and
even fractional advances in a few instances.
There was some strength displayed in the early
trading, but Boston began to pour out large
amounts of Union Pacific and Atchi'on, which
invited further bear attacks, and both stocks
broke badly, each losing between 2 and 3 per
cent. The disappointment over the decision
about the dividend was still powerful to depress
the former, while the stories of a receiver fur
Atchison, while denied overt and over again,
were repeated with considerable effect, and
rumors of financial troubles in Boston were
circulated and could be traced to no source.
The success attending the demonstrations
against-those shares' encouraged the bears to
try their hands at other portions of the list and
just after noon, when the dividend had been
declared, there was a sharp drive at Lacka
wanna, and its price was broken two points in
less than half an hour., A portion of this loss
was afterward recovered, but the stock is ma
terially lower this evenlnfc Missouri Pacific
had also been treated to the same sort of
manipulation, and rumors that Mr. Gould had
already made arrangements for large loans
were made to do duty against the stock. Out
side of Lackawanna there was little in the coal
shares, although Reading was active but was
very firm and closed with a small improve
ment. The Grangers were subjected to sonje
pressure in the early dealings, but the effect was
only temporary, and outside of Burlington
their fluctuations were small and their final
changes unimportant. Among the specialties
there were a few strong spots,and Chattanooga
and San Francisco first preferred advanced
sharply, while Chicago gas was weak.
First prices were quits Irregular, and al
though there was some strength shown at the
opening it soon died away under the outpour
ing ot Union Paciflo and Atchison with Mis
souri Pacific The irregularity disappeared
toward noon, when everything became weak
and Chicago Gas became one of the prominent
weak shares toward noon. There were frequent
rallies which, however, were of short duration
and only served to maintain the excitement,
and after noon the attack upon Lackawanna
checked what promised to be a material recov
ery. Union Pacific and Atchison dropped
lower until after delivery hour, but in the last
few minutes' trading there was some recovery,
while the market closed heavy to weak at close
to the lowest prices of the day. The active list
with a few unimportant excentioss is lower to
night; Union lost 2 Atchison Lacka
wanna li, and Missouri Pacific Big Four and
Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianap
olis 1 per cent each.
Railroad bonds did not share In the excite
ment in the stock list, but were quiet to dull,
throughout, with no decided tone at any time.
There was some animation in the Reading
fours, which contributed (150,000 out of the
total day's business ot (1,050,000, but there was .
no other special feature ot any description.
The final-changes are generally for fractional
amounts and quite evenly divided. The ad
vances Include Des Moines and Fort Dodge
firsts 2 to 85. Denver fours are down 2
at 92
