A QUIET WEEK IX FLOKISTS' GOODS Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, l ut iL Feiday. June 14, 183. J Diamond-market dealers do not report a very active trade this week, but the reverse. The constant downpours hare had a dampening effect on trade in market basket materials all along the line. Butchers complain that close, damp weather spoils enough stuff to wipe out profits. Of the new things that nave appeared" in the fruit and vegetable stalls for the first time this neek, are sweet cherries, red raspberries and carrots. Trices of fruit aud vegetables are steadily drifting to a lower level. Home crown strawberries are now at their best and will continue so through another week. Alter next Saturday the season will be prac tically over. Red raspberries from Maryland begin to show op, but sell in a wholesale n ay at 20c a quart. Xew potatoes are in full supply at Ioh er prices than a week ago. In the line of butter, eggs and poultry there are no changes. Country butter is in supply beyond demand, aud the drift is toward lower prices. Creamery in job lots is Jc off this week, but retail prices remain as belore. There lias been some difficulty getting fish from Eastern markets since the Pennsylvania llailioaa failed to come to time. Shipments have been by way of Buffalo to this city for a vcek or two past and stock has not been in as good shape as it generally is, by reason of its long journevs and delays. This trouble is now virtually past Adams Express has resumed operations and since Wednesday manages to get stuff from the seashore through to this point in good time. Florists report that their trade is little good. Continuous wet weather and the calamities which have befallen our neighbors have served to upset many plans of social festivity and the effect is felt by florists. June is usually one of the best months in this line. Thepresent U ex ceptionally quiet June roses are in full sup fily, but demand is uncomfortably slow. Fol owingare the latest retail prices of market basket filling, as furnished by leading dealers: Meats. The prices called for at the Diamond Markets remain unchanged.

Unfavorable Ycalher for Harvesting Buoys Vp the Wheat Market All the Op tions Higher Corn and Oals Featureless The nog Products Easy. Chicago A bullish feeling again existed in wheat, and prices reached a higher range. Trading was active in a speculative way, both on outside and local account, with shorts cover ing, and a good investment buying also report ed. June was advanced lc, and closed Ic higher than yesterday. July opened a shade better than yesterday's closing, advanced lc above Inside figures, ruled steady, and closed m! higher than yesterday. August and Sep tember closed Jlc higher, and December closed about Kc higher. The conditions influencing the market were about the same as noted the past few days, of which unfavorable weather was the principal factor. Rain was again reported where harvest ing was in progress and where dry weather was needed, and it is still dry in the Northwest where rain would be of benefit to the crop. Rainv weather in the winter wheat districts is not alone liable to injure the wheat, but tenus to retard the marketing of it European mar ket advices were more favorable to holders. But little interest was manifested in corn. Transactions were confined principally to the oDerations of room traders. The feeling on the whole was comparatively firm, due largely to the advance in wheat, but fluctuations were narrow, being limited to yfc range Oats were slow but a shade stronger, espec ially on September. May w as easy, as opera tors appeared more willing to sell than buy it Rather more Interest was manifested in the market for mess pork. Trading was chiefly in July and September deliveries.

About two months ago a Mr. Craft was sus pended from the lodge for non-payment of dues. When word was sent to the headquar ters of the Urand Lodge, telling of the suspension, they were informed that Mr. Craft had been sufpended in 1SS5, and was never reinstated. Now. as Air. Craft h.is paid in assessments In these five years SbO, the whole wants to Know where this money has gone, and why it was received by the Grand Lodge if Mr. Craft was not a member. The persons further said that had Mr. Craft died in that period no benefits would have been paid him, although he would have been justly entitled to them. Tbev also want to know -a.hr. r suspended him in 1SS5, and Why 7 An investigation win iaKe piace snortly, at which time it is said some sensational develop ments will bo brought to licht The person talked to by the reporter said the order bad over 20.000 members, all of whom will demand a thorough investigation.

B. a. co u i .... it I THE FACTS AND FIGURES Showing That Real Estate is in Better Shape Than Last Tear. BUILMUG HOUSES ON THE SAND. A Yaluahle Wea From Windy Chicago and a NoYel Invention at the "Hub. i A CHANCE FOE PITTSBURG IRON KINGS Facts and figures almost innumerable might be cited to show that real estate is on a better footing and in a more prosperous condition than at the same time last year. The following from a member of one of the leading agencies on Fourth avenue is to the 'point Said he: "Our June sales to date last year were 8; for the same time this year they are 10. This is only a slight dinerence but it shows an improvement. Our sales for this year up to June aggregate $1,836, 000. For the same time last year tfiey were about half as much." In this connection he remarked: "Our rent list this year is 150 per centlarger thari last( year." xuis is encouraging. . w Houses, while not realty, are so closely allied to it as to be almost inseparable, and a diversion from one to the other is easily ac complished. It is to be hoped that every reader of The Dispatch is familiar wlthAhe beautiful and impressive parable of our Lord concerning the house" that was built upon the sand. This folly, not literati ', but in principle, seems to have been the cause of much of the property loss at Johnstown. According to a gentleman. who formerly lived there, very few of the buildings washed away had good founda tions. "This is a fact," said he yesterday, "which should be borne in mind In re building. The same fault I have ob served, prevails to a considerable ex tent in Pittsburg. I have seen expensive houses reared upon foundation walls that were not substantial enough for a stable. This is not only poor economy, but it is dangerous. Reports of buildings tumbling down and crushing the inmates are not infrequent This could not happen if the substructure were solid. It is the fault of the time rather than of the builders, but in either case it is trifling with life, which should not be longer tolerated." Going back to real estate again, it may be observed that Pittsburg people are wise in everything relating to the material Interests of the country. There may be no dazzling literary genius among them, no great composer or Senator, no orator or jurist of world-wide fame, but in the practical concerns of life, in the art of solving knotty questions in mechanics, of managing interests involving millions of dol lars, of restraining and utilizing electricity and. natural gas, and in the development of the re sources of nature, they possess power and prac ticability beyond any other commnnity in the new or the Old World. And yet they don't know everything. "A wise man may learn of fools," was the conclusion of an eighteenth cenrury philosopher. What Pittsburg people don't know they are anxious to learn. In the matter of subdividing land and making it ready for the market they are following the custom of a century ago. Our real estate men are progressive, but they are wedded to a custom that is better in the breach than the observance. They survey the land, stake off the lots, and offer them for sale. The purchaser has to do all the cleaning, grad ing, road-making and everything else neces sary to make the place fit for habitation. There are exceptions, of course, but this is the rule. It is neither jufttothe purchaser nor creditable to the seller. Land under such cir cumstances seldom brings the full market value. In Chicago before land is offered for sale it is put in proper condition. In Philadel phia the same practice is observed. The con sequence is that good prices are realized. It saves the purchaser time and trouble. The general adoption of this plan in Pittsburg could not but prove beneficial. Having found something in Chicago that may be of service to a large class of our citizens, it may not be out of place to note that Boston is happy over an invention of no ordinary impor tance. It is called the "electric service system for the automatic regulation of heat," and is peculiarly applicable to office and apartment buildings, which are becoming popular in Pittsburg. It has just been placed in one of these establishments, where a thorough test will be made. t The heat will be under electrical control and every tenant can have the temperature he de sires without paying any more attention to the matter than he would to the running of the furnace or the boiler. Thus, in two adjoining rooms, where a consumptive in ono wants a temperature of 90 and a f ullblooded fellow in the other wishes only 60, each gets just what he desires. The engineer in the engine room can tell whether any room is too cold and can instantly send additional steam into the office whose thermostat placed before him reveals the necessity. The landlord saves from 25 to 40 per cent on f nel and the tenant escapes severe colds and general discomfort If a new tenant comes in he merely notifies the engineer of his individual tastes, and the heat is regulated ac cordingly. Turn we now to something more substantial. The substitution of iron for brick and mortar in house construction is among the probabilities, and is, therefore, of paramount importance to Pittsburg. It overshadows the Boston novelty and lays the Chicago idea completely in the shade. There is, of course, nothing new in the idea, but the fact that it is beginning to strike the public fancy gives it importance. England is talcing the lead in this important innovation. A Liverpool paper, the Journal of Commerce, says: "Of late a great step has been taken in bring ing iron prominently in use for house con struction, and for such purposes as farm out buildings, stables, shooting boxes, lodges, cot tages, and small honses it is without doubt the material -par excellence. We lately inspected the works bf Messrs. Brnce & Still, of Liver pool, who are probably the largest manufac turers and dealers in the kingdom. They are constructing iron houses for almost every pur pose, and from a billiard room to a shooting box, and have orders from all parts of the world. Thev have on order some Iron-buildings which are highly artistic in design and wonderfully cheap. As an instance we may mention that a billiard roomf for which a Lon don house songht to charge 50, Messrs. Bruce 4 Still can supply at 26 103. Aotber advant age of iron as a material for house construc tion is that it offers almost a'tuolfitc security against lightning, a point of no mean import ance." The attention of Pittsburg iron manufactur ers is called to the above statement. STOCKS WAKING UP. A Ppnrt In La Noria Caused by Tip From Hcndqnartera. La Noria was the'attraction at the Stock Ex change yesterday, being both 'active and stronger. 300 shares selling in the forenoon at . The same price was offered for it in the afternoon, but it was held a fraction higher. The improvement wasattributed to inside news that the mill was grinning out mgneyatthe rate of S400 or J500 a da, which would be veri fied by the next report which is expected early in July. Philadelphia Gas sold in the forenoon at 37, but weakened a trifle later in the day, going in a small way at 36 The tractions showed no particular change. Central bringing sai for 50 shares. Electric was weaker, selling at 53K. The rest of the list was about where it bad been all week. Bids and offers were closer together than usual of late, and there were more buying orders, but being, as a rule, below the market, very little effort was made to fill them.

The Market Weakens, Under Preisnre of the Bears nnd Selling- for tfao Long Aecoant A Rally at the ' Close, Which Averts Mnterlnl Losses. - New Yore, June 14. The stock market de vtloped somewhat more animation .to-day, although it was almost entirely confined to less than a half dozen stocks. There was Consider able irregularity throughout the day! but the general drift of prices was' downward, and SATUEDAT, JUNE 15. some material losses were sustained. The news from the West this morning was unfavor able, the principal point being the rerusal of the Lake Superior lines to accept the proposi tion of the Chicago lines.but this was seconded by other depressing advices, and before the opening or the board it was known that nearly $4,000,000 more gold had been taken for export, and the feeling ,ati the opening was bearish in the extreme among the traders. Opening prices were lower, and declines extended to K per cent in most stocks, while Jersey Central was off l per cent at Ho. The market was feyerish and quite irregular, but the pressure brought by the bears, with thp undoubted sell ing for the long account, made further losses in the first hour. New England was amarked!exceptlon and af ter a slight decline rose over 1 per cent St Paul weakened under the news from the West but while it was active the concessions made were small, and Jenev Central alter the de cline at the opening wis fairly well held for the remainder of the dav, though Delaware and Hudson reacted sharply. Sugar Trusts and New England then dropped.and fn.most of the general list the lowest prices of he day were reached toward noon. Atchison was taken in hand and under excellent buying it advanced 2 per cent above its lowest Union Pacific 'also, showed marked strength, followed by Oregon Short Line, but the improvement could not be maintained, and New England dropped rapid ly from its bigh figures. While considerable pressure was brought against Reading, though little impression was made upon the latter stock. Ihe downward movement was most pronounced toward delivery hour, but later the advices from Chicago were more encouraging and the shorts went to cover, which lifted prices in the last half hour, and the market closed at the rtlly with a firm tone, though close to the lowest prices. The active list is generally lower, St. Paul and Burlington lost IK per cent each, and Jersey Central 1 per cent Railroad bonds do not sympathize with stocks in their depression, but the dealln gs were on a smaller scale than usual of late and the fluc tuations were small and unimportant as a rule. The sale or all issues reached $1,668,000. Kan sas and Texas contributed $121,000 and the.6 $103,000. The tone was generally firm, but there were some marked declines at the close. St Louis and Cairo 4s rose 4, to 80; St Louis and Chicago consols to 41; Chicago and Alton sinking fund 6s lost 2, at 124.
