Retail Prices of Filling for Saturday's Market Basket FISH AND FRUIT MOVING SLOWLY. in Over-Supply of Tennessee Potatoes Cheapens Bates. CHOICE GGS FIBS1, BUTTEB QUIET Office or itttsburq Dispatch, l Fkiday. July 5, 18S9. J Market basket materials have undergone few changes within the past week. Straw berries are ont and whortleberries are in. New potatoes, in a jobbing way, have seldom been as low at this season of the year as they are now. Markets hare been glutted for a number of days witb Tennessee potatoes, and in carloads sold as low as $ 1 25, which Is about double the freight price. Watermelons and cantaloupes keep improv ing in size, quality and quantity, bnt fail to fall in price. Dealers in fruits and vegetables re port a quiet week's trade, but havs large hopes and great expectations for Saturday, if the weather prophet will but smllo on them as be promises to do. The time is here when the products of lake and ocean are at their quietest. From now till the Utter part of Au cust fish markets are quiet. The trade with fancy restaurants, whicn is the nrincipal source of demand at this season, slackens up as the time comes when patrons begin to flit to moun tain and seaside. One of our leading florists speaking of bis trade, said to-day: "The Fourth of July is he only holiday of the year which makes no demand on our business Christmas. Thanksgiving and Decoration Day are uniformly great dajs with florists, but on the nation's birthday flowers are always at a discount. This is the only holiday that florists are permitted to celebrate. Our trade this week has been confined mostly to funeral tributes. The time is close when the water ins place demand will be showing up. In a week or two we will be having orders for floral decorations from Cape May, Atlantic City. Cresson and other popular resorts." Country butter is in over-supply. Cows are emphatically living in clover, and the result is seen in the fact that country bntter goes a bcreine. Smine chickens are in better sbaDe. and lower prices than last week. Following are the latest retail prices of market basket filling as furnished by leading dealers: Dleats.

The Weather Clerk Canes a Reaction la las Wheat Market Cora and Oats Follow Salt Hog Products Active and Unsettled. Chicago. July 5. There was leu doing In wheat to-day, and the market TUled quiet, within a lower range of prices. Fluctuations were not severe. July ruled somewhat irregu lar, within a range of 2c, and closed about a lower than Wednesday. The deferred futures opened KSKo lower, then advanced KWc, again eased off, and closed c lower than Wednesday. The decline was attributed principally to ths weakness in St. Louis, which market predicted large receipts of new wheat by Monday, and re ported two-thirds of that arriving now as grad ing No. 2 red. The weather, too. was more fa vorable, being dry in the Southwest and rainy in the Northwest. Reports from the North west were more favorable regarding crop pros pects, and this was a weakening feature. Cable advices, however, were favorable to holders. Only a moderate business was transacted in corn, the range being narrow and most of the trading confined to local operators. Tbe feel ing around the opening was somewhat easier, initial trades being liilc lower than the closing quotations of Wednesday, but as tbe session advanced a better tone was developed and prices advanced Jc Influenced to a con siderable degree by tbe good shipping demand. The market then became easier, closing a shade lower than Wednesday. Oats were slow and a shade easier. Trading was fairly active in the market for mess pork, but tbe feeling was unsettled and nervous, and prices fluctuated considerably within a narrow ranze. Early prices receded 1012Kc Later prices were advanced 15017c but finally set tled back &07c and closed steady. Only a fair business was reported in the lard market, and tbn feeling was easy. Early in the day it ruled 607Kc lower, but during the latter part of the session more steadiness prevailed and prices rallied 205c and closed quiet. A moderate trade was reported in toe market for short rib sides. The feeling was easier early and prices receded 2K5c. Later the decline was recovered.

ETerythlDff Favorable for a Knshintr Trade the Coming- Autumn. THE HOLIDAY. CAUSES A BOOH IN BATS Indiana is considered one of the best agri cultural counties in Western Pennsylvania, but land there is not valued at facer prices. A Pittsburg gentleman located on a 200-acre farm near Homer City, in that county, sev eral years ago. Later he removed to South America, where he engaged in business, and where he still resides. His wile was in the city yesterday and placed the farm 1n the hands of a Fourth street agent, with in structions to sell it at (60 an acre. Considering that it is well improved, and has all the necessary buildings, good fences, a large young orchard and several never failing springs, this is certainly a very low figure. While city property maintains the advance begun six or eight years ago, farm land has failed to hold its own in the same period. Farming seems to be losing its attrac tions in Western Pennsylvania, where it is no longer considered a paying business. Are not the fanners themselves responsible for this un natural state of affairs? Concerning the business outlook. Manager Wigley, of Dun A Co.s Commercial Agency, says: "The result of careful Inquiry at all points in our district indicates that the wheat crop will be good. Oats are looking well in most places, but the crop is not yet safe Corn is backward, on account of the continual cool and wet weather, but under favorable condi tions will make a good crop. Potatoes, hay, fruit and other farm produce is all reported as excellent, and the wool district is getting a fair market for the clip. In parts of West Virginia the continued rains have been a boom for the lumbermen, enabling them to float their logs to market freely abd cheaply, and railroad build ing in other parts of that State contributes to a rosy promise for the future. In Eastern Ohio nearly all the manufacturing towns report a healthy state of affairs. Mills and factories are running with a fair amount of orders, and though prices are in some cases unsatisfactory, labor is well employed and tollers receive the benefit of the weeklv pay rolls. "Our rural territory in Western Pennsylva nia is chiefly dependent on the coal-mining and oil-producing industries. At present both of these sources of wealth are somewhat de pressed, and the great rainfall on the western slope of tho Alleghenies, which culminated in the Johnstown disaster and the temporary em barrassment of railroad facilities, destruction of sawmills and loss of lumber, have all con spired to indicate a rather gloomy future in the section designated. Yet even there the prospect of an abundant harvest holds forth the promise of a silver lining behind the pres ent cloud. The wage question remains unset tled, but no great difficulty between employers and employes is anticipated. Building is per haps more actiy6 tban ever before. If the crop reports in all parts 'of tho Union should prove as favorable as those in our immediate district, we shall expect a satisfactory condition of trade the coming autumn." ij. A great many hats were too small for the heads of the wearers yesterday morning,in con sequence of which nearly all the dealers in gentlemen's head gear did a rushing business. Apropos of this a Liberty street merchant told a good story on one of his brother dealers. Some time ago there was a convention of produce men held is Milwaukee, which was attended by a delegation from Pittsburg, one or two of which were in tbe habit of taking an occasional glass of beer. The sober ones of the party singled out one of these weak brethren as the subject of a practical joke. Ascertain ing one evening that he had returned in a happy condition from a visit to several of the breweries for which Milwaukee Is famous, they purchased a bat of the same quality and ap pearance, but of a smaller size tban the one he wore After he had retired for the night, the old hat was removed and the new substituted. The gentleman awoke bright and early in the morning, dressed himself with his usual care, and picked up bis hat. Trying it on he thought there was something wrong with it, but he didn't? know what. He examined it carefully and tried it on again. Still it wouldn't fit. While this episode was going on his practical jokers were watching the performance through a transom, .and greatly enjoyed the discom fiture of their victim. Finally, after an' utter failure to bring about a correspondence be tween tbe head and the bat, he settled down to the conclusion that the former had undergone a remarkable growth during the few hours he had been sleeping, or the latter had mysteri ously shrank, and he didn't know any better until he reached home, and the mystery was explained to him. The effort to bribe his com panions to silence has cost him several boxes of cigars. In noltem is the contrast between prices in England and the United States more striking than in the relative prices, at the works, of Connellsville and Durham coke. These two cokes are the typical cokes of their respective countries. They are the typical blast furnaco fuels. The output of the Durham coke Is by far tbe largest in Great Britain, being probably more than half of the output of that country, while tbe Connellsrille district produces more tban half of ths coke made in the United States. But Connellsville coke is selling, so it is stated, at the mines at 90c to SI a ton of 2,000 pounds, while the Durham coke sells from 16 to 20 shillings per ton of 2,240 pounds, or reduced to the same unit as tbe American price, from S3 46 to S4 32 a ton. or from about SX to 4X times the price of American coke There are three reasons why coke in the United States is selling cheaper than in En gland, namely: Lower wages, tbe less valne of coal in the ground, and the great stretches of transportation necessary in this country to bring tbe materials for making pig iron to gether. PICKED UP A LITTLE. Stocks Stronger and More Active A Gpnrt In Citizens' Traction. There was a better feeling among the stock brokers yesterday, and the market was stronger and more active tban on any previous day of tbe week. Prices aro so evenly poised, and so low withal, that a very moderate buying move ment would send all the favorites up. Tbe total sales were 355 shares. The feature of tbe day was a little boom in Citizers' Traction. Jt opened hi the afternoon at 69, and sold up to 70, closing firm at the highest point. The other tractions were dull and steady.

CEI -J Larse Volume of .Routine Boalnei Fear et Stringency. The condition of the local money market yes terday was not materially different from that of the previous days of the week, but there was a larger volume of routine business, of which checking was the principal feature, as shown by the Clearing House report, the exchanges being $2,598,972 01, and the balances $379,605 08. Money continues plenty and rates easy at 69 6 per cent. Financiers do not apprehend any stringency. They say it is too early to indulge in predictions as to what the fall of the year will bring forth, but judging from present indU cations there will be no spasms of that sort, and that funds are likely to be very easy throughout 1889. Of course, should there be a heavy spring ing up of the iron and steel industries, as is now probao'e, and commission business generally should pick up to an extraordinary extent, there wonld be a lively demand for all classes of money, with the natural result of higher than going rates.

OH Brokers Begin to Talk Against the New Finn. The oil market was distressingly dull yester day. If a vote had been taken on going back to the old plan of trading, it would have been carried by a large majority. Others held, how ever, that the new system had not been in operation long enough to afford a satisfactory test of if meritsand that ft would come ont all right in the end. There was a quiet opening at 91c The mar ket soon weakened to 90c from which it re covered to the opening figure, where it hung nearly all day, with very little doing. Near the close there were a few small sales at 91c, from which there was a decline to filiic at which the market finished. Cash and July oil was a trifle weaker, but dull and featureless. Wednesday's clearings were 256,000.

CRYING FOB QAS. Cincinnati Want It Badly Nothing Else Will Save Her Bacon. The necessity of natural gas for Cincinnati is thus shown by the Commercial Gazette of that city, which says: "We are in the age of natural gas, and we are n earing the age of fuel gas. It will not do, therefore, for Cincinnati to sit while cities and towns all around us are se curing natural gas from Ohio and Indiana fields. There are warnings enough in notices posted on tbe wall of deserted manufacturing establishments of removal to Ohio and Indiana towns. The late Mr. Hall Informed tbe writer immediately preceding his death that he in tended to remove his great factory to where natural gas was available He had counted the cost, he said, and made up his mind that it would pay. The only point with him was whether he would go to Toledo, Findlay or Piqua. Two or three stove foundries" have al ready left Cincinnati. We bear of no industry coming to take their places and we are losing our bold upon many others. Meantime, natural gas is being piped from the Indiana field to Chicago. Oil lias already been piped from Lima to Chicago, where it Is being utilized for fuel. We have begun to talk about natural gas, and the fight against it has also begun. The opposition informs us that it can't be done, and that U would not pay if it conld. But it has been done in other places, and it does pay. Dayton has it at 10 cents per 1,000 feet. Indian apolis tbe same. Of course, it is in all the towns located in or near to the eas fields. It is taken to Buffalo. N. Y a distance of 92 miles. We are told, furthermore, that it would ruin our new streets to lay -pipes to distribute the gas, even if we had ii It would cause some In convenience, it is true bnt no ruin, but this would be better tban to Dave grass grow In tbe streets. Tbero need be no trickery about this business. The Board of Public Affairs can easily guard against that. A contract maybe made, we are informed, to deliver 25,000,000 feet per day at the corporation line Then there would be no trick abont laying pipes inrouKn tne streets to aeitver it to consumers. Tbe city, too, conld regulate the price But the gas might give out. So it might, but the fact is there is more gas produced now than at any former time as there is more oil, and yet it has been predicted all along, since oil and gas were discovered, that they would give out. Meantime, both bave been discovered in new fields, where all the geological theories were against such discoreries.. There areiwo classes that talk this way. 'One is composedof those whose interests are opposed to natural gas. The other is made up of those who want to monopolize the gas and sell it at exorbitant prices. But there is the gas and tbe oil, all tbe same, and their use is revolutionizing matters. Cincinnati feels this already, and unless our people wake up, it will be felt still more and perhaps disastrously, We could get along with out gas if competitors did not have It. We would be forced to get along without it if it could not be badthut since it can be bad, it would be suicidal not to secure it, and that without unnecessary delay."

GBANGEBS ON TOP.' They Lead tbe Stock Market la Point of Activity London on the Ball Side A Raid en Atchison Declines In the Majority. NktvYoek. July 6. Tbe stock market was again moderately active to-day, with the gTeat bulk of the business done confined to the Granger stocks, and the trusts were more quiet than at any time since their activity be gan, only lead showing any special animation There was a weak tone almost throughout the entire day. however, and prices to-night are generally lower than on Wednesday. The prices from London this morning were materi ally hleher than our closing figures of Wednes day, showing that that center was not in sym pathy with tbe downward movement here and it was reported that large lots of St. Paul bad been bought in that market for American ac count. This gave a better tone to tile opening deal ings, and first figures, while quite Irregular, were generally higher, and the advances ex tended topper cent In the general list, while Jersey Central was exceptional with a gain of 1 per cent at 111, which .advantage It afterward increased a like amount. Tbe Western rail road situation showed no improvement, how ever, and with little or nothing doing by com mission people on tbe long side and the temper of the room decidedly bearish, the advocates of lower prices were encouraged to make another aemonstrauon against tne list. The leading bear was on the street, although he denied giving out any selling orders. Atch ison was selected as the special point of attack, and the pressure against tbe stock was Increased by liberal selling orders from Boston. The de cline in the stock did not cease until a loss of i per cent had been scored, and the movement in it did much to shake out weak holders of other stocks. St. Paul, Northwestern and Missouri Pacific came next to Atchison in point of weakness, and all of the stocks mentioned dropped over 1 per cent before the decline was checked. The liquidation among the smaller bulls'as sumed large proportions, but the impression became general before delivery hour that large lines of shorts had been covered, and there was a change in tbe tenor of the specula tion, and in the last hour there was eood buy ing in all portions of tbe list. Tbe close was quiet but steady at the improvement over the lower prices. There was considerable pressure also upon Reading, but tbe impression made upon it was small, notwithstanding that the stock was the most active on the list. Of tbe other coalers, Jersey was strong and Delaware and Hudson weak. The other stocks on the regular list hewever, were quiet to dull and their movements com paratively insignificant. In the unlisted de partment lead was still active, but there was no movement except in sugar, which opened up a fraction and then declined over 2 per cent, but recovered and closed only a fraction lower. The final changes show considerable irregu larity, but declines are most numerous. Atch ison lost lii and Delaware and Hudson 1 per cent, white Jersey is up 2 per cent. Railroad bonds are dull and as a rule fluctu ated within tbe narrowest limits, marked changes in quotations being few in number. Tbe sales were only $1,095,000, and only Read ing 4s displayed any special animation, furnishing $237,000 to the total.

Many of the descendants of Scotch-Irish settlers of Western Pennsylvania held a meeting yesterday afternoon in the chapel of the First Presbyterian Church. Among them were Eev. Dr. Allison, Eev. L, IT. Hays, Eev. Kevin 'Woodside, Kev. J. T. McCrory, Eev. Mr. Chalfant, Eev. Mr. Gil fillan. Prof. T.'H. Bobinsoh, Colonel J. W. Echols, Esq., J. McF. Carpenter, Esq., Colonel W. A. Herron and Da vid Eobinson. The meeting was called to order by Dr. Allison, and Eev. I. N. Hays stated that the object of the gather ing was to arrange for extending an invita tion to the Scotch-Irish Association of America to hold its next meeting here. Dr. Hays stated that this association comprised some of the most prominent men in the country. Last year they held their meeting in Columbia, Tenn., and had a notable time. The society has expressed a desire to meet in this city, and Df. Hays stated that they should be given a warm reception here, where the Scotch-Irish blood is thickest and purest. The only business he thought that was necessary was to extend an invitation and appoint an Executive Committee to take charge of affairs. Eev. Mr. Chalfant moved that a commit tee consisting of Dr. I. N. Hays, Chairman; Dr. Allison, Eev. Nevin Woodside, Eev. J. P. McCrory, Prof. T. H. Eobinson, Colonel W. A. Herron, J. "W. Echols, Esq., and J. M. C. F. Carpenter, Esq., be appointed to write an invitation to the society, and also to arrange all details. This motion was carried. Dr.' Hays said the yonag people knew little or nothing of the history of tbe Scotch Irish, and that this meeting wonld, in a way, educate them. The society was com posed of a large number of Southern gentle men, and he thought all former sectional prejudices should be buried and a warm welcome extended. Colonel J. W. Echols approved the re marks of Dr. Hays. The speaker cams from the Sooth and his wife was a Georgian for 100 years back, but they come of the good old Scoteh-lrish stock. The young people, he said, had a very vague idea that Scotch-Irish meant a anion oi blood. The speaker said that tbe war is over and the prejudices of the late unpleasantness were past in almost everyplace except the Church, and if it conld only be driven ont of there it wonld be past entirely. He wanted the right hand ol fellowship extended. The Executive Committee afterward held a meeting and elected Colonel Echols secre tory. Mfi.
