J In the line of fruit and vegetables the week has been characterized by the appear ance of many new articles. New home potatoes, squash, string and wax beans are on the stalls for the first time in the past few days. "We are also having onr first taste of watermelons, cantaloups and black berries. Said a leading dealer In fruits and vegetables, "X have never known cantaloups of such excellent quality coming so early in the season." Home raised potatoes are also ahead of time. The Fourth of July is considered early for the new potato crop in this section. Strawberries still linger, bnt the hulk of those coming to market are of inferior grade. The arrival of so much new stuff from field and Cardeahas stimulated trade, and we note an improvement over last week. Butter and eggsiave undergone little or no change the past week. Fancy country rolls are more firmly held. Eggs are also a shade firmer for an entirely reliable article. Poultry trade is light as it always is at this season of the year. The nets are out on the lower lakes since the 15th of June on account of Ohio prohibitory laws. The fish coming from the upper lakes where Michigan and Minnesota laws do not prohibit are not in supply for sufficient de mand. A shortage of lake fish is reported by dealers. The supply from Eastern sources is ample. Prices are suffer. Florists are not en tirely satisfied with June weather, which has been far other than favorable for lawn fetes and garden parties. Scbool rxhlbibitions and" golden weddings have partially made ud to the trade the past week for the loss by rains. The month of June has not come up toexpectations in the florists' trade, but there is still-time enough to make it np if only July will furnish as many dry days as June has rainy ones. Meats. The prices called Tor at the Diamond Markets remain unchanged.

Wheat Makes Another lpart on the Strength of Bad Crop Renins at Homcnnd Rumors of a Short- ace la Rassla and AuktroHungnry. Chicago. A marked change occurred In tho wheat market to-day as compared- with yesterday. The feeling developed was decided ly unsettled, and a sharp advance occurred during the session, bnt not fully sustained. Trading was active in a speculative way. The opening was about the same to $v lower than yesterday's closingwhich was due In part to the rather easier tone of European advices, and was a sort of continuation of yesterday's weakness, but shortly afterward the opening became strong, and advanced 11C for the various deliveries, declined c, and closed lc higher for July, lc higher for August, and IK higher for December than yes terday. The advance was attributed to the bad crop news received from the Northwest. Advices from various sources were received, noting a poor outlook. It is claimed that the rains came too late to do much good, and now the crop was receiving further injury from the hot winds. There were also believers in a -short crop in Russia and Austro-Hungary. The advance was assisted some no doubt by the short inter est covering by parties who had sold yesterday taking fright at the action of the market to-, day. The feeling throughout the session was nervous and feverish. A fair business was transacted In corn, and the feeling developed was a'little unsettled, prices ruling lower early and higher later in the session. There was no new outside news of importance on the market, and prices were gov erned chiefly by local influences. The "market opened a shade lower than the closing prices of yesterday and was easy for a time,infiuenced largely by the receipts and fine weather. A firmer tone then prevailed, due largely to the good shipping dehiand, and prices advanced Jic, ruled easier and closed a shade lower than yesterday. ' A good business was transacted In oats, but prices fluctuated within a range of MMc A fairly active trade was reported in mess pork, but the market was somewhat unsettled, and prices ruled irregular Opening sales were made at 7c decline, and a further reduction of 10c was submitted to, with moderate trading at the declining scale. Later the market ex hibited more firmness, and prices rallied 7K 10c and closed comparatively steady. A quiet and rather dull feeling prevailed in the lard market Prices ruled 2X 5c lower, and the market closed quiet at medium figures. Trading was only moderate in short rib sides and the feeling was easier. Early in the day prices receded 25c but during the latter part of the session was steadier and prices rallied again and closed steady. The leading futures ranged as follows: Wheat No. 2 Jul v.

Eise and Fall of a Visionary En terprise That Resulted In RUIN TO MANY WORTHY PEOPLE. Business Principles Disregarded in a Scramble for Filthy lucre. SEAL ESTATE HOISTED OUT OP SIGHT. The story of the panic of 1873, so far as it touched real estate in this vicinity, has never been told.' Three or ionr years before the period in question a corporation, the title of which it is unnecessary to mention, went into operation in Pittsburg under a blanket charter which covered banking, railroads, real estate, and. about everything else that could be bought and sold. Among the stockholders, who numbered probably 1,000, were many of the best men of the city, the majority of whom were boomers, overruling the conservative minor ity on every point. It was in a flourishing condition, so iar as could be judged from surface indications, when the panic swooped down upon the community. A t year or two before the crash the officers of this institution thought they saw millions in real estate, somewhatnpon the principle, perhaps, that influenced Colonel Sellers, in placing a high valuation upon his eye water, and they bought np large quantities of vacant land along the lines ot the principal railroads and in the immediate vicinity of the city, which they laid out in thousands of lots, and to which they drew attention by liberal advertising, brass bands, free lunches and lim itless quantities of lager beer. The scheme worked so well that in a short time hundreds of lots were sold on small pay ments and long time on the balance. A large number of houses were soon put up and occu-' pied ttnd arrangements made for a great many more In many cases values rose to almost fabulous heights. Now for the sequel. In the midst of this ap parent prosperity, at the very climax of the boom which was expected to lift hundreds of people from poverty to affluence and make their last days easy and comfortable, the panio came. "Oh. what a fall, my countrymen I" Trouble came thick and fast. Creditors be came clamorons for their money, mortgages were foreclosed, suits innumerable instituted against the officers and stockholders ot the cor poration, many of whom lost all they had. Some of these suits are still pending, and are likely to be left as a legacy to the next genera tion. So rose and fell a rainbow-chasing scheme, which was entered upon without due considera tion and prosecuted m utter disregard of busi ness methods. This brief account of one of the many vision, ary enterprises of that time clearly shows the bad effects Of a boom. ' The experience was costly, bnt necessary to prevent other and possibly greater disasters, and Pittsburg people seem to have made good use of it. Booms are so unpopular here that the mere mention of them is received with dis favor. Real estate has recovered from the de pression; but there Is nothing abnormal in its conditions, which are conservative and healthy. The Committee on Magnetic Influence of Iron and Steel in Locomotives on the Watches of Engine Runners, consisting of T. Vf. Gen try, James Meehanfand Harvey Middleon, made a very thorough and painstaking invest!-" gation of the subject, the following being the more Important points of the conclusions at which they arrived: We find that the magnetic influence of iron and steel in locomotives, while it may afreet the watches of runners to a very slight degree, as a rule it does not amount to a serious disturbing element; and that if a watch is not exposed to any other more powerful electrical agent than the ordinary locomotive engine, no difficulty would be experienced in keeping accurate time pieces. Your committee in going over the large num ber of statements from locomotive runners, are convinced that much depencs 'upon the handling of the watch and the care given it by the man in whose charge it is; and that an infe rior timepiece in the hands of a careful man is sometimes more reliable than the finest watch in the hands of a runner who has no system in his method of winding, adjusting, etc We mention this fact as having some bearing on the various causes of disturbances which the magnetic shield could not be expected to rem edy. An Informal meeting was held on the floor of the Exchange after the stock call yesterday afternoon, in whichallthebrokerspresenttook part, looking to the enlargement of the field of operations. W. L Mustin presided and John McICee, in a long and forcible Bpeech, ex plained the object In view. He said in substance, that the rules govern ing stock trading in Pittsburg were too narrow. Tbey shonld be expanded and liberalized, so as to draw In the outside interest, which is now controlled by the bucket shops in the interest of foreign corporations. We have, remarked, a large number of good securities at home, whose condition can be ascertained at any time, and this fact, once brought to the at tention of the people, would secure for them more consideration than they have been re ceiving, keep money at home and assist ma terially in giving Pittsburg her proper rank among the commercial' cities of the country. Pittsburg is full of enterprising men, with abundant capitaL It Is certain that tbey will speculate somewhere. They refuse to operate under our iron-clad rules, and hence send their orders to New York. This Is detrimental to the city and has a depressing effect upon local stocks. Let us open the door to these people. By so doing we will benefit ourselves, build up the Jbjccbange, and prevent home money from being scattered abroad. His plan is to extend the delivery period to two weeks, the purchaser in the meantime, by putting up a margin, to have full control of the stock, so as to be able to take advantage of any advance in the market. At the end of the two weeks he could either take the stock or allow it to be sold on his account. If it should have declined his margin wonld make good the dif ference. This would give him two chances to make a tnrn instead of one, as now, and in stead of payingin full for what he bought he would only be required to pnt np a small per centage of the full value, -paying the rest at the time of delivery. A manifest advantage of this system would be that less'capital would be required, less risk encountered, and more chances to turn the investment to a good ac count. It is thought the adoption ot this plan will draw In a large outside interest end stimulate trading on the Exchange, A committee was appointed with Mr. Mustin as President, to put the proposition in proper shape for submission to a full meeting of the members of the Ex change, to be called later on. ELECTEIC SHOWS UP. ' A LlttloBoom Develops the Fact Thers Is Plenty oflu i The quantity of Electric brought out at the stock call yesterday afternoon was a complete refutation of the statement that has been made that it is scarce, and made it apparent' to all that a very small boom would, draw it from its hiding place in any quantity desired. More of It was offered than taken at 47. Philadelphia Gas was firmer and wanted, but only two small bundles were sold, the first at S3 and the last i less.

The second day at the Petroleum Exchange under the new system was. characterized by wide and frequent fluctuations and liberal trading. Business was restricted to July deliv ery, later months being entirely neglected. For cash oil 91c and 92c- were bid, and on one or two occasions small blocks of it were sold and bought back again in less than a minute, indicating apprehensions of a shortage. A broker remarked.: "I think the new sys tem is growing in favor. Business to-day has been satisfactory. It has been about the same as yesterday, and considerably better than the -same day last week under the old plan. There has Deen less confusion tnan i expected, in a few days dealers will thoroughly understand the new deal. I have no doubt it will be a suc cess." July oil opened quiet at B2Kc, and by easy stages reached 93c, the best figure of the day. The market then declined to 91c, recovered, and In the afternoon reached 92c. It fluctu ated between this point and 92c until near the close, when it slumped to fi0c recovering in a few minutes to 91c and closed at 91e, a de cline of Y,c from -theonening. Thursday's clearings were 843.000 barrels. Field news was scarce and of small impor tance. The Rayl well on the Makall farm, Beaver county, was doing about six barrels a day. It was brought in Thursday evening. Say &. Liggett's well on the Schilling farm, near Economy, has not been tubed. It is put down for 10 to 25 barrels a day. Features oi the Market.

THE TRUSTS QUIET, Bnt Maintain a Firm Front London Prices Drop New Xncland Checks a Bear Raid Thp Active LUf Closes Fractionally Lower. T?ew York, June 28. The dealings In the stock market to-day presented few features for comment, and dullness was the most conspicu ous thing noticed throughout the day. The trust stocks were very quiet as compared with their late activityand, while presenting a firm front, did not show any marked fluctuations ex cept in the last new trust traded in, the Amer ican Cattle Trust, which, opening at '18. sold up tol .,, 'London prices werelbwer this morning, and first prices in this market were also oft small fractions from last night's figures,' though the only Important concession was in Jersey Cen tral, which yielded Ji per cent The stock was an element of weakness throughout, and on very Ugh) trading it shows a loss at the end of the day of per cent, at 110. The bearish feeling was soon Checked in the morning by the unusually heavy buying of New England, and it acted as a check to the droop ing tone of the rest of the market nntll the issue of, the Yanderbllt statement, in which the increase in the operating expenses ot Lake Shore was taken as an opportunity to hammer the list by the bears. Tho buying ot New England was taken as evidence that some new developments in re gard to the company were about to come out, and the stock was advanced 1 per cent to 53, but the high prices brought out considerable stock, and it yielded with the remainder In the afternoon. The engagements for export intensified the bear sentiment, and more unfavorable, news from the West came to help prices down, and St. Paul became the leading weak stock, not withstanding the very favorable reports of earnings tor tne montn oi May ana toe nve months of the current year. The declaration of the regular dividend npon tho Vanderbilts also helped ze check the decline, except in the case of the Lake Shore. After the advance in New England culmi nated, which was about noon, the activity in tba list became mucb.sma.ler and the changes in the quotations were made on an exceedingly smau scaie. Among tne inactive snares unio Southern showed marked strength in the fire noon, rising from 14 to 16. The active list is almost invariably lower, but. with the excep tion of Jersey Central, the declines are for small fractions only. Railroad bonds showed a little more anima tion on the whole than usual during the past few days, bnt though the dealings were not so widely distributed, there was no single active .feature. The sales reached $1,239,000. The following table snows the prices of active stocks on the New York Stock Exchange.

A Big Coal Combine Approaching Consum mation In East Tennessee. A dispatch from Knoxvillo, Tenn., says: "For several months there has been talk of consoli dating all the coal mining companies in what is known as theJellico district. w(tb the excep tion of the Standard Coal and Coke Company atNewcomb. "A big deal is nearing consummation, by which all the companies, with the exception of the Standard, and possibly Including it. will pass into the hands of a powerful New York syndicate, with unlimited capital at the back of It. "Leaving out the Standard Company, the transaction will call for $2,250,000, all cash. With the Standard in the deal the amount will be largely increased. The sale inclndesthe lands, names, railroads, machinery and all ap purtenances, and is a clean sweep. The com panies which have already signea and will sign the contract transferring their interests are: Proctor Coal Company, W. C. Gnndstead, President; Main Jellico Mountain Coal Compa ny, M. E. Thornton, President, Kensee, Ky.: JelHco Coal, Coke and Transportation Compa ny, S. L. Wooldridge, President; East Tennes see Coal Company, Newcomb, E. J. Davis, Knaxville, President. "With the present capacity the mines opened by the companies mentioned above is 23,000 tons per day. lint the new company will in a short time double the capacity by opening newmmes, and enlarging the old ones. "The new company is said to be largely con trolled by Samuel Thomas, President of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company; John H. Inman and other wealthy capitalists, who are Interested in the East Ten nessee and other roads connected with Rich mond and West Point. "For some time past the operators in tho Jel lico district have complained that the East Tennessee road did not glvo them the same ad vantages as they did the Coal Creek companies, and consequently with the new arrangement all the mines on the Knoxville and Ohio will bo on the same footing."
