Uncle Sam's Custom House Keeps Up Its Usual Bright Record. HAVANA CIGAK8 IN ACTIYE DEMAND Orncie op Pittsburg DrsrATcn, J Tuesday, July 9. 1889. ( Tradesmen who can are preparing to flit to the mountains or seaside,and the situation in most commercial lines Is that of suspend ed animation. A week ago the general prayer among trades people was that rains would cease. Uow the cry is for rain to come and cool the atmosphere. It is a pleasure to find that in some branches of trade there is great activity, notwithstanding the intensely hot weather. A representative of the canned meats in dustry said to-day: "Our trade was never as large at this season of the year as it is now. Since April 1 there has been a growing demand lor our poods, and this and next month promise to be the best we have known. So far this season our trade has been fully SO per cent larger than for the cor responding period of last year, with the best two months yet to bear from. Oar sales for last week amounted to 21,000 pounds of Muff, the bulk of which was canned corn beef. The trade in large 14-pound cans, which fell off lor two or three jears, is coming back. Ten ears ago the amount of canned meats bandied by joobers was not one-tenth what is bandied to-day. The rainy June, which had the effect of staviugoff picnics and outing parties, no donbt lessened demand for our products to some ex tent, but there is ample time left to make up for Ibis, and July and August will without a doubt eclipse all corresponding months in years gone by. Whatever the' results may be. we are already assured of 50 per cent larger volume of trade this year than last." Fourth of July Good, One of oar leading dealers in Fourth of July and sporting goods reports an unusual activity lor his trade. Tho patriotism of Pittsburg never drew as heavily on pyrotechnic andnoise roaking goods as this year. Dealers who laid in heavy supplies, having had large faith in Pittsburg patriotism, did not trust in rain. Ktocks of fire-crackers and rockets are seldom as well cleaned up after the Fourth as tbey are now. The interview with this dealer developed the fact that bicycles and tricycles were never in sneb active demand as in the past month or two. It is impossible to fill orders for bovs' bicycles. Some orders have been on the books for two or three weeks and the factories are unable to respond. Said the above dealer: "We have been writing andtelegraphlngto the bicjele factories almost dally for weeks to hurry up stock, but it seems to do little good, and all we can do is to possess our souls in patience and wait. It is very plain that the calculations of bicycle makers were entirely too modest, in view of the inability to meet orders. It will, at the very least, bo a few weeks before our firm can catch up to orders. You may say for oar firm that Fourth of July week brought an unusually satisfactory trade all along the lines of our goods, and that we never bandied as much stuff in the same time." TJncle fonnVs Warehouse. The first half of 1S39 has made a record at Uncle Sam's warehouse, Penn avenue and Garrison alley, about equal to the correspond ing period of 1S88, which was one of the good years for trade in imported goods. The books of the Custom House show that April of this year was the best month on record and May was very little behind. June was d ' ., owing to floods which kept back stuff. I. the last week of June, when the rail road blockade was lifted, there was a rush for a few das, but business has again quieted down, baid Secretary Keating to a Dispatch re porter: "There has rot been as much business done in imported liquors and iron through the Custom House this year as last. In 1S83 there were very large importOf iron rods, billets and bars. This has materially declined. The efforts to evade tho whisky tax by keeping stock in foreign seaports wbete storage was cheap has not proved so remunerative as was supposed a few years ago. Tbe loss in proof and quantity has in many instances spoiled great expectations of profit. The only import goods that bold up and keeps crowing in volume all the time are cigars. The Havana cigar holds its own and mure. Its constituency Is steadily on the increase, if our books are a fair criterion. Tbe warehouse is unnsnlly bare. Bv the 1st of August goods will be piling in for fall trade." LITE STOCK MARKETS. Condition of the Market nt the East Liberty Stock Yards.

The Wheat rit Active, and Prices Stronger All Round-Corn Higher nnd Oats Easy Hoc Products Dnll, but Close Steady. Chicago Trading In wheat was act ive to-day, and the market was stronger. There was some investment buying, and shorts cov ered freely. July advanced 2c, and closed about lc higher than yesterday, August opened lAc higher, declined c then ad vanced IJic and closed IKc higher, September closed ljfc higher. December, which is at tracting the principal attention, opened o higher, declined Jjjc, then -advanced lKc, and closed ifi higher than yesterday. The feeling was unsettled early in tbe session, but devel oped into a rather bullish tendency later. The very strong tenor of foreign advices was the principal influence on the market. English markets evidently are being affected some by dry weather. Domestic markets were all higher. There was some buying, no doubt. In expecta tion that the Government report will make a poorer showing, some look for a tailing off in winter wheat, and some lor a possible increase. It was generally rumored that the report would pat the condition of wheat in Dakota at 70, against S3 last month. A moderate business was transacted In corn, with the bulk of the trading at slightly higher prices, a firmer feeling prevailing. The better tone was due largely to tbe active demand for cash property. The market opened at yester day's closing prices, advanced He, fluctuated frequently within a narrow ranee and closed lie better than yesterday. Oats developed more activity, but it was at a lower range of prices. The demand was light, and the execution of outside selling orders coupled with liberal offerings, produced a de cline of ic At inside figures fair pur chases were made to cover shorts, but the mar ket closed quiet and easy. A fairly active trade was reported in mess pork, and almost exclusively in August and September deliveries. Opening sale were made at 5c advance, but a weaker feeling was developed later, and prices receded 1012c Toward the close the feeling was stroncer and prices rallied 7l0c but settled back again 67C and closed steady. A moderate business was transacted in tbe lard market. Tbe feeling was somewhat un settled and prices ruled irregular and aver aged lower. Opening sales were made at yes terday's closing figures, but a weak feeling was quickly developed and a reduction of 6 7c was submitted to. Toward the close the feellug was steadier and prices advanced 2Q 6c and closed steady. Tbe market for short rib sides was fairly active, and prices exhibited very little change.

A Fine Allegheny Residence Bought by a Prominent Merchant. RAPID TKANS1T DOING GOOD WORK. A Philadelphia Gentleman Falls in love With Pittsburg Suburbs, SQUIRREL HILL AKD OAKLAND IN LUCK Squirrel Hill and Oakland, it is now cer tain, will before long enjoy the luxury oi rapid transit. Those wanting to establish homes in either place should hurry up the cakes before the inevitable boom takes effect. Tbe most important transaction in real estate in Allegheny for a long time au thentically reported was closed up yester day by Samuel "W. Black & Co. B. E. Boggs, of Boggs & Buhl, purchased the residence property 13G North avenue, lot 110 by 170, with a large two-story brick build ing, for which he paid $65,000 cash. The lot is about twice the size of the one adjoin ing, which was sold by Mr. Boggs a month or so ago. An Allegheny gentleman who lives near said the old building would probably be torn down and a much finer one erected. Con sidering the location, the price paid is thought to be quite reasonable. Fragment of a conversation on a railroad car between two unknown gentlemen yester day: First speaker Well, how are you getting along with ;ctir real estate speculation ? Second speaker Very well. The ground cost us Mi000. and we have already sold about 90,000 worth of lots. I do not know to what he referred. Later on be added: "I could have bought tbe Hampton place for 50,000 a few months ago." As often remarked, there is a great deal more doing in real estate than appears upon the surface. All that is needed to develop tbe beantifnl country around Pittsburg is rapid transit, and that want bld fair soon to bo supplied in the fullest measure. Tbe assurance of one or more electric roads down the Sewicklev Valley has given quite a boom to property in that dis trict, and their construction will double or treble the demand. Land so delightfully situated, and so conven ient to the city, will not long lie fallow. Rapid transit would soon place it on a par with the best sections of the East End. Mr. Charles Holt, a prominent business man of Philadelphia, was visiting friends in the East End last week. On the Fourth he was driven to the city by way of Oakland. He was charmed by tbe country, and said it was the most beautiful of any he had seen in America or Europe. This is a high, but not undeserved, recorn mendation. The suburbs of Pittsburg, from whatever direction viewed, will bear compari son with those of any other city in the Union, and come out ahead every time. This being true, it Is no wonder they are rap idly filling up with a good class of people. The Chicago farmer' Review estimates the probable winter wheat crop of 1889 at 313,313,000 bushels, and the yield of rye at 28.951,000 bush els, the largest crop since 1884. The pork crop is said, also, to be unusually large. There is no danger, therefore, of a scarcity of bog and hominy. The mathematical lunatic has again escaped from the asylum and Is making public his theories to account for tbe alleged increase of storms and floods in these latter years. He says there are more than 10,000 locomotives in uso in North America, and that tbe vapor from these sent ont into the atmosphere each week will measure more than 50,00d,000,000 cubic yards, which must be returned as ram. or 7,000. 000,000 cubic yards a day quite enough to pro duce rainfall every 24 hours. Other non-condensing steam engines add eight times as much more, so that the total mass of vapor discharged into tbe atmosphere must be each weekmore than 470.000,000,000 cubic yards. As a result ol this state of affairs be predicts that the American race will finally be drowned out, but be neglects to fix a date for that awful cataclysm.- ft Tbe sale of 44 lots at Marion station in one week Is an event of sufficient importance to at tract wide attention. At this rate all the lots for sale there will soon be closed out. Marlon possesses special advantages for workingmen, being closely connected with Pittsburg, Brad dock and McKeesport. That they appreciate the opportunity which it offers of acquiring homes at a moderate cost the rapid sale of lots sufficiently testifies. SPECULATION STILL SLOW. Tery Little movement In Local Stocks, but Triers Well maintained. The stock market yesterday was of the same kind as that of the day before dull and gener ally steady. Only two securities were handled. Philadelphia Gas and Electric, and they sold to tbe extent of only 1C0 shares. Both were fractionally weaker, the former sailing at 37 and the latter at 51. Philadelphia was ex-dividend, as the books close to-day. On the strength of presumably good news L& Nora was stronc at 2, with 1 bid. Manufact urers' Oas could have been sold at 26, but none was offered at that fizure. Citizens' Traction was firm but dull. For Central 31 was vainly offered for 100 shares. Considering tbe dullness, values are well sus tained. This leads operators to hope for a re vival in the near future. Bids, offers and sales are appended: MOENINC. AFTXBXOOK. Pld. Asked. Hid. Asked.

Tbere was no special movement in local monetary matters yesterday, but an average volume of business was transacted. Very little f-esh paper was made, but considerable old was renewed. There was no change In rates, and no disturbance ot tbe close relations between currency and exchange. Bankers think busi ness has touched low.water mark for the sea son. Many of tbe leading spirits In financial circles are off on their vacations, bnt will be back in time to take a hand in the fall move ment. There are no longer fears of a money stringency. Shipments to Europe being no longer profitable, the drain in that direction has ceased. Here the supply is abundant and promises to be maintained tho rest of tbe sea son. Tbe clearings yesterday were $1,965,529 37 and the balances $429,059 43. This is largely ahead of the same day last year.

Although business was probably no greater than on Monday, the feeling in tbe oil market yesterday was better, and hope revived of bet ter times coming. The fact that the market closed at the highest point of tbe day was en couraging. A dealer said: "That's what we want. If we can boost prices sufficiently to in terest outsiders that will be drawn in and busi ness will pick up." There was a sluggish opening at 91c an ad vance to 91c, a drop to 91c, the lowest point reached, and a rally at tbe close to tbe opening figure. Cash oil ruled about the came as Au gust. No one seemed willing to touch the Sep tember option. Monday's clearings were 182, 000. Tbe monthly pipe line report is expected to day. If it should be as bullish as anticipated. It will no doubt stimulate the market. Features ol the market. Corrected dally by. John. IS. Oaxiey A Co., 45 Sixth street, members of the Pittsburg Petrc-' leum Exchange.

Stocks Dull and Weak nt the Opening, but Kally nnd Score Small Gains at the Close Strong nnd Weak Spot. New York, July 9. The stock market seemed to have lost its animation to-day, and tbe trading was only abont half of that of yes terday, though the most confident feeling which became so noticeable last evening con tinued throughout the day, and the general drift of prices was upward, though the opera tions of the bears and traders mado a feverish and irregular market during most of the time. The shorts did not like the aspect of affairs, and tbere was considerable bidding for stocks at the opening, and first prices this morning, aided by higher figures in London, were from H to X per cent better than last evening's final figures. The disposition was evidently to await tbe action of tbe Presidents' meeting, however, and the demand for tbe time was entirely from the shorts and Dears made a demonstration against the list which in the first few minutes forced prices off to something below last night's prices. Tbe heaviest drive was made at Burlington, and it lost Vyi per cent. The short Interest in this and Rock. Island is becoming un wield v, and Burlington commanded a premium of l-64th of 1 per cent, and Rock Island loaned at 1 per cent for carrying. The raid was soon over, bow ever, and the market thereafter gave evidence of good supporting orders and though tbere was Utile buying outside of the shorts and tbe foreigners, the market rallied, and by noon waa materially higher than the opening figures. It became known that the Alton was not repre sented at the meetiag jla CUeago, and the pro fessional sold some stocks after noon, which again sagged tbe list off, and the list, which had been remarkably firm up to that time. Denver and Rio Grande preferred and St. Paul pre ferred, were specially weak. The weakest point in tbe market was the trusts, especially sugar, which was sold on the expectation that tbe general term wonld con firm tbe opinion of Judge Barrett,and the stock at one time was about 3 per cent lower than last evening. The coal stocks were all stronc, and Jersey Central especially, though' it weak ened somewhat toward delivery hour with the rest ot the list. During most of tbe day tbe general list presented little or no feature, and the market finally closed dull and firm at something better than tbe opening figures. There were a larger number of railroad bonds traded in to-day, but like the dealings in shares they were for small amounts, and tbe aggre gate of the business done is smaller than yes terday, reaching only $1,092,000. There wss only one active bond, the Reading 4s, which furnished $134,000 to tbe total. The general tone of tho market was firm, but many Issues developed considerable weakness and the Im portant changes are about equally divided be tween gains and losses. Denver and Rio Grande 4s lost 2K, at 79K, and Denver and South Park 2, at&OK- Tbe following table shows the prices of active stocks on tbe New York Stock Exchange.

His appetite became poor, and be was constantly annoyed with sour eructations of gas from bis stomach after eating, and on account of the kidneys not performing their function properly, his blood became charged with rheumatic poison, so that he bad much pain about his shoulders and dif ferent parts of his body. As he became more emaciated he began to cough, and be felt much tightness and weight across bis lungs. In speaking of the matter one day, he said: "I doctored with tbe best doctors I could hear of, but was fast getting worse. L became mel ancholy and thought 1 could not live. Finally I began treatment with tbe physicians of tbe Polypathic Medical Institute, who are special ists for chronic diseases, and although confined to the bed when I commenced their treatment, my Improvement was very rapid, and I bave been entirely cured by these physicians, and I gladly sign my name.

J Country Prcxluce Jobblaa; Prices. Fruits and vegetables in season are in boun tiful supply, and movement Is active at low figures. Dealers complain that multitudes of Maryland berries are coming to market in bad shape. Good blackberries are In demand at outside quotations, but lots of poor stock goes begging at less than one-halt The new crop of apples is showing up well for the season and prices are drifting down. New domestic Sweitzer cheese comes in slowly. There is still abundance of the old stock on hand which receives tbe preference over new. Large quan tities of Florida tomatoes have been thrown on markets within a day or two. which move very slowly because of quality. Tbe volume of Monday and Tuesday's produce trade was large. The principal trouble of markets is tbe abundance of everything, and all signs point to the fact that this will continue all this season.

Courtney.adminlstrator of the estate of Dr. Joseph Courtney, late of Emswortb, came up yesterday in the Orphans' Court for audit. Exceptions to the account bad been filed by Billy Roberts and wife, col ored people who had nursed the old gentleman, and had taken care of him in his last illness, from November L 1887. until January 12, 1888, when he died from a complication of diseases. The fact that this claim was the origin and cause of tbe famous Emsworth Church trouble gave considerable importance to the matter, and the citizens of that place await the Court's decree with interest. The witnesses for Roberts were George Taylor, the blacksmith down there, and John P. Dean and his son. The testimony showed that Dr. Courtney bad tried to borrow $300 with which to pay these old colored people: that later ho bad showed Tayloralot of ground worth $600, which he intended giving them, and still later that he had gotten young Dean to draw up articles of agreement to tbe effect that if tbe Roberts wonld remain with him until he died he gave them tbe house they were all living In at tbe time and a large lot, both worth 51,600. It was also brought out that, beyond calling on him, his relations paid no attention to him; that he was peculiar and a very independent old gentleman, and that he felt very grateful to the old colored people who attended him. Mr. Roberts' case was bandied by John D, Watson, Esq., and the administrator was rep resented by John C. Haymaker, Assistant Dis trict Attorney. Had it been known tbe hearing was to bave been held, Emswortb would have been numer ously represented. As it was. the attorneys and others who happened to be present were very much amused at tbe quiet sallies and "passages at tarms" between the two lawyers engaged in tbe case. The impression made by tbe old colored people was certainly a very favorable ona BREE.VS RURAL TROUBLES. He Esters Salt Asalnit Unfriendly Neigh bors for Prosecution. James W.
