The chief complaint of produce commis sion men of last year was the great abundance of stuff in all fruit and vegetable lines. It seems that we are to bare another season ot abundance. If natnre would be less generous, both producer and dealer would gather in more ducats, with a smaller expenditure of labor. The consumer, how ever, has no ground of complaint. The pro ducer and dealer's losses are gain to the millions who, after all, are the parties most interested. A Liberty street commission, merchant said to-day: "We are' handling lots ot stuff, but getting very llttloTor It. The trouble always Is in prolific seasons, such as this Is, that we hare to do a great deal of work and pet very little for it Tbe farmer and dealer are doing the work, and consumers get the benefit. Take tbe one item of Dotatoes, wbicb have been coming in so freely from Tennessee tbe past week. Tbe freight charges on a barrel are not less than 65 to 70 cents. I n the past few days largo quantities have been dumped on the mar ket, and are sold In car load lots on track at less than S2 per ban el. When the dealer gets his little commission and the railroads get the freight there is little left for tbe man in Ten nessee who ploughed, planted, gathered and bauled the potatoes to the nearest station. What Is Jtrue of potatoes Is equallj true of a dozen other articles in fruit and t ege table lines. The consumer is tbe only party who profits by these seasons of abundance. Producer and dealer are working more for glory than gain." Tbe Products. One of our leading perk packers reports to day concerning the provision trade for June: "My advices from Chicago, which is head center of this trade for the United States, and in fact far the world, are that the reduction of provision stock In June was very slight. In ordinary years June is one of the big months for trade in this line, and usually stock is very much diminished by the transactions of that month. Tbe decline of stock uniformly stimu lates prices, and tbe time is here when we have a right to expect an advance in hog products. But this season upsets all calculations. The al most daily rain ol June no doubt bad an effect in retarding trade, and a dry, hot July Mill make up lor lost ground. Bat up to this time our trade has been tar from satisfactory. The fact is tbe price of hogs has been too high all tbis season to afford any margin to packers. Tbe only salvation for tbe trade will be a de cided advance in hog products in tbe near future. If this advance falls to show up, tbis season will show little or no profit to Pittsbn-g S ackers. The Chicago pork packer has found eitcr pickings this season than is possible to tbe Pittsburg packer." Flour Trade. Tbe flour rrade, which for a month or two past was entirely in the buers favor, has for some reason suddenly flopped over within the past meek, and now the situation is decidedly in favor of the seller. All of a sudden the Minnesota millers have had their backbones stiffened and have become very independent in their views. Two weeks ago the millers of Minneapolis were diligently searching for cus tomers and pressing stock on our jobbers. Now tbey are waiting lor customers to come to them. Fancy spring patents were offered in carload lots, in wood, as low as S3 50 within tbe past two weeks. To-day tbe same cannot be laid down bere under 6 05. Our whole sale grocers have not changed prices, but will tie forced to do so as soon as their present supplies are exhausted. Bald one of our leading flour jobbers: "Pittsburg markets are among the very worst in the country. When prices are low we are forced to take the lowest figures, tint when there is an upward movement we fail to reap the benefit of it, as there are so many dealers here ready to un load a: very small profits. "In Chicago and Se York prices go up or down at once on quotations from stock board. But here in Pittsburg, while we suiter Irom every decline.we fail to reap any benefit from an advanca by reason of the sharp competition among our dealers. Flour to-day is sold by wholesale grocers at lower figures than stock can be laid down at, and it is only a question of time when'prices ot flour must advance." LITE STOCK MARKETS.

A Good Speculative Movement at Culcaso July Wheat TUsher, but Lnier Op. tlonsLose Ground The Weath er Still a Controll ing Factor. CHICAGO A largo speculative business was again transacted in wheat ana the feeling was very unsettled. The course of prices was ir regular. Some wide fluctuations occurred, es pecially for July delivery. Tbe early market was weak and opening sold at Ic decline as compared with yesterday's closing, but good buying at tbe decline started prices upward, and July advanced 2Jc, then declined 2Vic, and closed at lKc higher than yesterday. August, advanced l&c above inside prices, receded Jc, and closed c lower than yesterday. Decem ber advanced lKc above Inside price, receded Jic and closed He lower than yesterday. The early weakness was due to reported rains in Dakota and In the Northwest generally last evening and this morning, with a drop In the temperature of several degrees. Uutgood buy ing for July by a prominent local operator started shorts to covering, which advanced the price for this future, and other deliveries fol lowed to some extert. Cable advices also noted a better feeling. Advices from Russia snoke of the damage to the crops there as fully as bad as heretofore reported. A fair speculative business was transacted in corn tbe first half of the session, after wbicb the pit became qniet and Inactive. Tbe feeling was quite firm, and trading was at a high range of prices, with fluctuations coveringa widerrange than for several das past. Ibe strengthening influence, as on yesterday, was due to the active shipping demand, which continues unabated, and tbe near lutures showed advances of uats v. ere quiet and steady. In mess pork tbe lnqniry was moderatelv act ive and tbe offeiines were not very large. Early prices ruled 57c higher, later tbe feel ing was stronger and prices were advanced 10 12&C but near tbe clo-e the feeling was easier, and a reduction of "X10c was submitted to. Rather a dull, easy feeling prevailed In the lard market. Prices declined 25c, and tbe market closed eay. In tbe market for short ribs prices were about 25c lower at tbe openine, but ruled steadier again, and tbe decline was recovered.

A KEW TOWN COMING TO THE FE0NT To-morrow the glorious Fourth of July will be a legal holiday throughout Uncle Sam's wide domains, and the Exchange, banks and most of the business houses in Pittsburg will be closed. Persons having commercial paper maturing to-morrow should pay it or make satisfactory arrange ments to-day to avoid protest. A gentleman said to me yesterday: "I have a few thousand dollars for which I have no im mediate use and I believe I will invest it in real estate. If 1 bad had the same mind ten years ago I would be wealthy to-day.1 There are plenty of good chances yet to make money, but more capital is required. I do not think values have reached high-water mark, nor do I look for a sudden advance. It looks to me as if the upward movement will be slow and sure, and this gives me confidence. If I thought there would be a boom I would stay out. A boom Is always followed by a collapse. So far as I can see real estate here has been bandied carefully and judiciously and has every appear ance of being In a healthy condition." Yesterday afternoon he drove out to Roup station to look at some vacant lots in that vicinity. w So far this week business in mortgages has been brisk. Tbe number recorded on Monday was 36, representing about $40,000. The largest was for $4,000. Between SO and 40 were filed for record yesterday. Tbe safety of real estate as an investment is generally recognized by local capitalists, and no doubt large amounts of money released by the payment of July divi dends and interest will be placed in this se curity. Marion station, on the Baltimore and Ohio Rallroadjjtbout seven miles from the city, has experienced quite a boom within the past few months. Located midway between Pittsburg andBraddock. and at a convenient distance f rotn McKeesport,lt affords unusual advantages to tbe working people of these large centers to acquire homes in the country at a low price. Tbe sale of 22 lots there on Saturday indicates a large movement in that direction, and should admonish intending purchasers to delay as little as possible. If all the signs should be fulfilled, by the time Pittsburg is ready to annex everything as far up as Braddock, Marion will be one of the largest ana handsomest towns on the line ot the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. There was a good inquiry for real estate yes erday, and at least two big deals were com menced, one of which may be consummated to day. The inquiry was mainly for business property and low priced lots. A Fourth ave nue firm received $3,500 as commissions on re cent sales at Oakland and Squirrel HilL An oil broker remarked to me yesterday evening: "I have been informed wlthm tbe past few days that tbe Standard bas finally bit upon a process for refining the Ohio product which will remove all the objections hitherto urged against it. This Is borne out by tbe fact that tbe company is building large refineries at several points, and is still buying up or leasing more territory. They mould hardly do this if they had not discovered a way for refining the stuff and making it profitable as an illumlnant. If it were fit for nothing bnt fuel they would not go to so much unnecessary trouble and ex pense. The fact is Lima oil refined from the new process is hard to distinguish from the Pennsylvania article, and I believe it will soon be certificated and handled by the exchanges." Another broker who was present added: "I hope so. The present working stock is too small to justify trading in future, options. With the addition of the Buckeye contingent we conld go ahead without fear of a squeeze at settlement time. The demand is so great and is Increasing so fast that it would make no dif ference in price." Work on the Second avenue electric road is being pushed as rapidly as practicable, it is expected that it will be completed and in run ning order by November. The eastern ter minus is Glenwood the line being nearly five miles long. The certainty of rapid transit about the time Indicated has started an active inquiry for property all along the route, but more particularly in the vicinity of Hazel wood, where a large number of bnlldlng sites hive been sold within the past two weeks at a band some advance over former prices. Rapid transit is doing great things for Pitts burg, by making it possible for the working people to acquire homes at a reasonable price in districts hitherto inacessibleto them. Pipe to convey water from Wilklnsbnrg to North Braddock has been laid as far as Haw kins station. Owing to unexpected delays water will not be turned-on until the last of this month or beginning of August, A' SPURT IN ELECTBIC. Strong and Weak Spota of the Local Stock Market. Electric was the feature of the stock market yesterday, opening with a sale at 51. It was held a point better in the afternoon. Tbe stock was helped alongby several influences, among them tbe closing of the transfer books, the discovery that the capital stock of the proposed new com pany will be only S5.COO.000, or no larcer than that of the old company, and th growing belief that the forthcoming judicial opinion will be in its favor. Philadelphia Oas was fractionally weaker. This was attributed mainly to the uncertainty as to the size of tbe dividend. Wheeling and People's Pipeago were slightly stronger. The Tractions were weaker and neglected. There was a better feeling in La Noriaon rumors that the earnings are better than expected. A state ment of tbe condition of tbe mine is looked for in a short time. In the general list hot weather is affecting prices as well as brokers. Bids, offers and sales follow: vomrcro. ArriBxooir.

The oil market yesterday was dull and unin teresting! The new system bas so far failed to make an improvement,but its friends are hope ful of good resnlts when it cbmes to be better understood. Up to this time it has entirely failed to attract tbe ontside interest, which was the principal reason urged for its adop tion. Regular August oil opened at 92c, and in a short time slumped off a few fractions. Later in the day the market rallied and sold up to SSKc the highest point of the day. Then wirt a fluctuation, it softened and closed at 92Jc. There was no difference between cash and Au- E2 ust. Trading was about the same as the day ef ore and entirely professional, x Features of tbe Market, Corrected dally by John M.

A EEACTIM In the General Slock Liar, Which Chips Off Some of tbe Late Galm The Trusts Still Active, bnt Railroads Coming- to the Front. New York, July Z The day In the stock market was one ot reaction, which lasted throughout the entire time, and tbe result of the day's trading is to leave everything traded in, with but few exceptions, materially lower than last evening. Tbe trusts were still active, but railroad stocks once more came to the front, and the proportions between the sales of the listed stocks were restored to tbe normal. Atchison was the great weight upon tbe mar ket, and to the rumors and stories of trouble in the finances ot that company was due, more than anything else, the weakness displayed in all portions of the list to-day. It is true that all the July obligations of tbe company have been met, but tbe story from Philadelphia that tbe remaining $3,000,000 of its second mortgage notes had been issued set going all tbe stories of the financial embarrassment of tbe com pany, with the old talk of a receiver, and although the story of the notes was denied from Boston It did not stop the decline in tbe stock nor remove the impression that the com pany bad been compelled to borrow money to meet its pressing needs. " The result was a break of nearly 4 per cent. To this was added the influence of tbe positive refusal of the Burlington and Northern to withdraw the low commodity tariff and other expected complications in the West which set on foot a selling movement in the Grangers, and St. Paul, Burlington and Rock Island fol lowed with material declines. Missouri Pacific was sold in sympathy with Atchison, and New England not meeting with Its recent good sup port was included in the hksty realizations. The Coals were more quiet than any of the other large groups of stocks,bqt Lackawanna showed considerable weakness, and especially in the afternoon. The trusts were active, though only in National Lead was tbe recent large volume of business in those shares approxi mated, and the realizations on tbe recent 6 per cent rise in sugar caused a sharp break of S per cent in the stock in the first few minutes, which was to alarge extent the result of the uncover ing ol stop orders. This was followed by a partial recovery, but tbe stock continued weak, and toward the close tbe weak tone spread to tbe others, and both Lead and D stillers broke materially. There was throughout a marked indisposition to em bark in any new ventures over tbe holiday, and the room being bearish, advantage was taken of tbe selling Atchison and the realizations in tbe trusts to hammer tbe entire list. The mar ket, which had ruled dnll except for the lead ing stocks, became quite active In tbe last hour, and the close was it eak at the lowest prices of the dav.Almost tbe entire active list is material ly lower to-night, and Atchison shows a loss of SK; Missouri Pacific 2; New England, 1; Burlington, 4K: St. Panl and Rock Island, each 1ML and Delaware, 1 percent Kallroad bonds felt tbe influence of the weakness in i;cks to-day. Although there was somewhat more business than usual of late it was regular quotations, and the general tone of the market was heavy throughout the day. The number of Issues traded inwas also much Wednesday; july 3; lircer than during the past week. Atlantic aid Pacific 4s lost 8 at 77. Norfolk and Western New river 6s rose 2 to 117.

The only noteworthy feature in the Davis murder trial yesterday afternoon was the testi mony of Mrs. Caroline Davis in her own behalf. Bhe said that on the night ot January 8 the sister of the witness came to visit her. Tbey went upstairs about 8.30 o'clock to Mrs. Davis' bedroom. Her sister left in time to catch tbe 11:30 car on the Fenn avenue line. Witness did not go down stairs. Soon after her sister left witness got into bed. Meely White came to bed, and witness, fell asleep. She was awakened by bearing a shot fired. She sprang out of bed, and that was all she remembered until she found herself in tbe police station. She was subjected to a most rigid cross ex amination by District Attorney Porter, bnt stuck to the main portion of her story. She had been married to Albert J. Davis in 1SS0 by Squire Sloan, in Petersburg, Pa. She did not remember having any conversation with Officer Snyder. She bad lived at No. SO Frankstown avenue since October. Davis was down stairs when witness went to bed. Witness did not bear him come up stairs. After being awak ened by the shot she did not see Davis. Did not remember speaking to anyone. Did not realize anything until she was placed In the police station. Sbe had not been drinking dur ing tbe day or evening. She bad been working at tbe sewing machine in the evening. Did not see the revolver that night nor after the shoot ing. Captain Mercer told her to tell him all about the affair, and be would do all be could for her. Sbe told him that she did not know anything abput it. Did not tell him that her defense wonld be self-defense. To get rid of him she told him to come back again and she would tell him all. She did not intend to tell him anything, because sbe knew nothing nothing to tell. Sbe did not declino to make a statement before the Coro ner. Thomas M. Marshall, Sr made a short address to tbe jury. He laid down the rules of circumstantial evidence, and said that it was just as reasonable to presnme that the little girl. Meely Wblte, had done tbe shootlnc, as Mrs. Davis. The prosecution, he said, had not attempted to prove that Davis had not taken his own life. He quoted tbe law on tbe case, and claimed that there was nothing in it by which the Jury might be permitted to convict Mrs. Davis. Thomas M. Marshall, Jr.. followed in a lengthy address in which he maintained that it was a case of suicide, and that tbe testimony of tbe witnesses had proved that it wonld have been impossible for his client to have committed a murder. He asked tbe Jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal. When Mr. Marshall ended, Judge Collier ad journed court until this morning. While Mr. Marshall was addressing the jury be said something which struck a colored man named Charles Thompson as being very funny. Thompson lauzhed aloud, and was promptly taken in hand by the tipstaves. After conrt adjourned be was given a severe reprimand by Judge Collier, and dismissed. A TIPSTAVE'S REMARK Furnishes the Grounds for a motion for u. New Trial. John Rourke. Esq., commissioner ap pointed to take testimony on the motion for a new trial in the cases of several members of the McGIll and Diyls families, convicted of larceny, held a hearing in the case yesterday. The' McOills and Davis were charged by tbe officers of the Pittsburg and Western Railroad with having broken into a car and stolen about $700 worth of goods. Some of the goods were afterward f onnd secreted in the bouse of the defendants. They Were tried and convicted of larceny. A motion for a new trial was made, the grounds given being that" Mr. Negley, a tip stave in the Criminal Conrt, remarked in tbe hearing of tbe jury in tbe case. Just before they retired, that the defendants were a bad lot, and that they were associated in the robbery with Jack Welsh, who has since been sent 25 years to the penitentiary for robbery. These re marks, it is claimed, influenced the jury in its decision. LAW OFFICIALS SUED. Constable Hefner and Sheriff McCnndless Get Into Trouble. David Adams yesterday entered su against Oeorge W. Jones and A, A. Helner for 510,000 damages. Adams claims that they broke into his house in Allegheny, pnt his goods out on tbe sidewalk and ejected him without any legal Karl Kline yesterday entered suit against Sheriff McCandless and Joseph Hufnagle for 81,000 damages tor the alleged illegal levy and sale of two horses, a wagon and some harness.

Mr. Dllwortb, among other things, bequeathed to Mrs. DiT worth tbe fatally residence on Fifth avenue. Twenty-second ward, in lieu of a dower. Sbe elected to take it under tbe will. A short time ago arrangements were made to sell tbe prop erty to Mrs. Gusky for $55,925. Mrs. Dilwnrth tendered her individual deed of the property to Mrs. Gnsky, but the latter refused to accept it. She stated that the title in fee simple to the property was nut vested in Mrs. Dilworth alone, but the other heirs as well.

The Secretary of the Treasury yesterday Issued warrants In payment of $16,000,000, on account of pensions, being tbe first payment on this account for the new fiscal year. The President has appointed the following Postmasters: George H. Dunn, at Shelbyville, Ind., vice Squire L, Mayor, removed; A. E. Hartman, at Columbus, Ind., vice George E. Sinney, removed. President Harrison will extend his trip from Woodstock, after the 4th. He will go thence to Newport, wbere he will embark on the Dispatch for his return to Washington: He will probably reach Washington, Monday. The papers are unanimous in speaking of Mrs. Burnett's new play, Phyllis," which was Produced at the Globe Theater at London, as eeble aud unTIkely of success. It received a respectful bearing, however, and the authoress was called before the curtain. Among the passengers on the steamer Newport from Asplnwall, which arrived at New York, are the band, nnmbering 13 men, of tbe United States steamer Nipsic, four sea men from the same vessel, and three seamen from the United States steamer Vandalla, survivors of tbe Samoan disaster. All are in charge of Boatswain McLaughlin. . Eau Claire, Wis., held its first election for a Board of Education yesterday. It brought out a heavy woman's vote, prominent society ladies spending the whole day with their .carriages taking women to tbe polR Ibe anti Catholic question was made very prominent in several wards, but the candidates alleged to represent the Catholic side were elected. The World's Snnday School Convention opened its session In London, yesterday. There are 900 foreign delegates present. Including over 300 from the United- States. Lord Kin nlard delivered an address of welcome and Count Bernstorft, of Berlin, and Rev. Mr. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, responded in behalf of tbe delegates from the European and American Continents'. Governor Filer, of Illinois, has pardoned Joe Mackin, the Chicago political fine-worker now serving a term ot Imprisonment in tbe penitentiary for crimes against popular suffrage. Tbe Governor accompanied tbe pardon with a review of the papers in the case, in wbich he stated that tbe application bad stronger support probably than had ever been presented to a Governor in a like case before. Persons passing along State street, Chi cago, in front of the Palmer Honse yesterday afternoon, were horrified at seeing a man clad only in a sheet climb out of a window and, walking along the projecting cornice, sud denly, with a shriek, fall to a projection be low. A ladder was procured and an attempt was made to rescue him, when, with a scream, he threw himself to the pavement below, frac turing his skull and receiving other injuries wbich will probably cause his death. He was evidently insane, and proved to be G. W. Howe, a prominent young civil engineer of Leadville. CoL He was on bis way borne from Washington, where he had been in attendance on the delegate convention of the Patriotic Sons of America.
