FLOBISTS EEPCRT A QUIET TRADE
Office of Pittsburo Dispatch, I
FRIDAY. August 2. 1SS9. J
In the line of staple meats trade has been
'slow the past week. Trices change not,
though live cattle are little above one-half
the price they commanded a half dozen
years ago. In response to the query, "Why
do not roasts and steaks drop to correspond
with reduction of cattle" A Diamond market
butcher saia to-day, 'the price of hides, tallow
and the rough parts of tho beef have declined
so much that our profits are no greater than
when we paid 8c per pound for live cattle. A
few years ago we got 15c a pound for calf skins
now, the price is 6c. Tho best hides bring 7c,
and it is not long since we could get 10c. A
few years ago tallow brought 8c, now it sells at
4 to 5c Boiling pieces sell for whatever they
will bring and the range is not above half tho
rates of lite or six years ago." With all allow
ance made for depreciation of bides, tallow
and rouch meat, butchers Mho sell the choice
Earts of the beef at 15 to 20c per pound, must
e reaping a handsome profit if they well rouch
stuff. Tho hlchest price paid for beeves at
Liberty this veek was $4 25.
Fruit nnd Vegetable.
Supply Is ample for all demand', and while
the week's trade has been fair the general drift
is toward lower prices. Ann Arundel canta
loups of the choicest quality are on the market
at a rango of 20e to 50c apiece. Tomatoes are in
better supply than last cek and lower.
California lruits are in full supply, and prices
are drawing nearer to tho average consumer's
pocketbook. Itaspbcrrles have naturally passed
away for this season.
Butter, Ecc and Poultry.
Creamery is a shado higher, and country rolls
aro in better demand than last week, with an
upnard tendency of prices. Eggs are un
changed, but the difficulty of securing an arti
cle entirely reliable grows greater from week
to week. Hens are apparently taking their
nml-uramcr rest. Poultry is scarce and likely
to be so the balance of the season.
A peddler from Clinton, who comes to the
city neeklj. said to-day: "I have never known
poultry as scarce on my beat as it is this sea
son. I bring from 50 to 150 pairs of chickens to
market every i cek, but cannot of late get any
nearer to the city with my poultry than Char
tiers. ISt the time I get that far all my chick
ens are gobbled up. You may say to Dispatch
readers that we will have a short poultry crop
the coming fall, but abundance of ail vegetables
and cereals."
Florists repcrt quiet all along theline. Home
flower gardens are at their best, and a multi
tude of the good customers for the beauties of
garden and conservatory are at present seeking
rent and pleasure by the seaside or on the
mountains.
The lish sunnlv has been below demand the
Fe
ist eek. eMieciall v for cheaper Trades. A
eadin" dealer said: "I could have sold rive car
loads more than I could secure of this grade
the past week."
Following are the prices of market basket
materials as furnished by retail dealers:

Good ITnrvest Weather Knocks the Prop
From Under the Wheat Fit A Drop
All Alone the Line Fork
Active but Unsettled.
CrncAoo. Dullness and weakness lung
like a pall over the pit this morning.
Local Influences and most of the news, apart
from the cables, were overwhelmingly bearish,
and prices began to settle from the very open
ing, which was a trifle under yesterday's clos
ings for the leading futures. For nearly two
hours December see-sawed between 7S?7SJc,
occasionally touching 79c A prominent local
operator was a persistent seller at the latter
figure, and shortly after 11 o'clock the market
took on a general bearish symptom of a pro
nounced type, which carried December down
to78Jia7SJc
Brilliant and settled weather everywhere,
combined! with tbe unexpectedly large receipts
of wheat, present and prospective, was the
chief cause of the giving way of props, though
the weakness was intensified by the general
apathy and lack of support from any quarter.
The taking of 14 boat loads hero for export
steadied the market a little temporarily, but
closing prices were within a small fraction of
bottom for all futures, and a below those of
yesterday. A good many prominent operators
are preparing to take their vacations for the
summer, and tbe outlook is for a narrow mar
ket for some time to come.
Fair business was reported in corn, the pit
being active at times, ruling firm early and
easier as the session advanced. Trading was
quite general to-day and not confined to room
operators, there being considerable quantities
sold for country account. The weaker feeling
in wheat and oats had also a tendency to In
crease offerings. Tho market opened at abont
yesterday's closing prices, were steady for a
time, but soon sold off ,c, became more quiet,
and closed Kc lower than yesterday.
In oats trading was active and more general
than for any day for a long time. The weak
ness and decline in wheat bad a weakening
effect, and prices declined c and the mar
ket closed tame at inside figures.
Quite a good business was done in pork.
Offerings v ere liberal, while the demand was
fair and chiefly from tbe short interest. Prices
'were somewhat irregular. At the opening
sales were made at" 2c advance, but a
weaker feeling soon prevailed and a reduction
of 1215c was submitted to. Fluctuations
within a range of 710c prevailed during tho
latter part of the session.and the market closed
quiet at about inside figures.
Tho lard market showed considerable
strength early in the day, but trading was only
moderate. An advance of 25c was gained
and prices ruled irregular within the range.
Toward the close tbe feeling was easy and the
market closed at inside figures.
Quite an active business was. transacted in
short ribs and the market was somewhat un
settled. Prices ruled somewhat irregular, tbe
market finally weakening and prices declined
1215c Toward tbe close tbe feeling was
steadier and prices rallied slightly, closing
rather quiet.

Boston, Mass. There has been a quiet
market for domestic wool notwithstanding that
the sales foot up to over 2,200.000 pounds. Some
large sales of territory wool swell tbe total
of sales to good figures. But aside from this
very little has been done, and the sales were
confined principally to small lots. Dealers are
more inclined to come from their views on
most grades. Ohio and Pennsylvania fleeces
have been quiet, with sales of 106,

2,000 ponnds of XXX choice at 37Kc, and No. 1

THE PITTSBTmG
STILL MARCHING ON.
Cumulative Evidence That Pittsburg
is Far From Being Finished.
SQUIRREL HILL AND OAKLAND.
Important Improvements' and Additions
Under Way at Edgewood.
A BIG BOOST FOR LITTLE JEAMETTE
Edgevrood, one of tbe handsomest of the
East End suburbs, is keeping step with the
march of improvement. Sir. Deeds will
soon begin the erection of a handsome resi
dence on thelotformerlyownedbyMr. Sums.
Mr.'Theodore Anschntz has made arrange
ments for repairing and enlarging his old
homestead, and for putting up a new house
on the same lot. Mr. McAfee's dwelling is
well under way; and it is understood that
Mr. McKay-has let the contract for two fine
residences on his large lot near the railroad
station. And last, but not least, Mr. Herman
Westlngbouse Is making extensive Improve
ments to bis fine property. On the upper side
of the railroad a number of handsome build
ings are in various stages of completion. All
will be finished this season.
The new town of Jeannette, near Greens
burg, Is rapidly coming to the front as a popu
lous industrial center. Its importance and
prospects have been ereatly Improved by the
recent purchase by H. Sellers McKee of three
targe tracts oi lanu aujuiuiuj; bua wbu, upu
which he intends to build 400 houses. A large
iron plant and extensive brick works are
talked of.
Tho American Water Works and Guarantee
Company, of McKeesport, with headquarters
in Pittsburg, has purchased the immense water
works plant located at Little Rock, Ark. The
plant was operated and owned by a local com
pany and cost the purchasers $500,001 The com
pany has also purchased the plant of James
town. N. Y.. for $100,000, and now owns and
operates '12,000,000 worth of water works plants.
In tbe United States.
The chartering of two companies to intro
duce rapid transit into the Squirrel Hill dis
trict is making real estate a lively article out
there. Inquiries for building sites were nu
merous yesterday, and several deals were set
on foot, some of which will develop into sales.
This activity, from the same cause. Is reflected
In the Oakland district, where there is a large.
and Increasing demand for houses and lots and
sales frequent. The evidences of the growth
of the city are so numerous and conspicuous
that no one has any longer the hardihood to
say that Pittsburg is finished.
The tallest chimney in this country is the
new stack of the Clark Thread Company, at
Kearney, near Newark, N.J. It is a circular
shaft 335 feet high and 28H feet in diameter at
the base. This chimney cost $30,000 and con
tains 1.697,000 bricks. It was finished in Sep
tember last, but its supremacy among Ameri
can chimneys will be brief, for one is now being
erected for the Fall River Iron Works Compa
ny, in Fall River, Mass., that will be 310 feet
high and 30 feet in diameter at the base. Tbe
great Townsend stack at Glasgow, the tallest
In the world. Is 451 feet high and 32 feet in di
ameter at the base.
The National Bank of Commerce of Pittsburg
has contracted with the Detroit Safe Company,
of Detroit, Mich., for the construction of a
burglar-proof vault to cost $25,000. It will be
-finished by the time the new bank building is
ready for occupancy.
Thirty-one mortgages were recorded yester
day. The largest was for $30,000. One was for
$10,000, one for $5,000 and 11 for $1,000 and up
ward. A large proportion of these were for
purchase money, and all home capital. With
all the business tho demand for mortgages Is
lareely unsatisfied. "Mortgages wanted" is a
familiar legend to habitues of Fourth avenue.
There is no better security iuhe present state
of the real estate marker.
The value of the new buildings erected
within the city limits of Cleveland during the
past two years,- including business blocks,
hotels, residences, etc, reaches the handsome
sum of $3,419,828. Pittsburg has done as well
or better in the same time. Building is on a
larger scale here this season than in any other
city west of the Allcghenies, with, possibly, the
exception of Chicago.
A mechlne has recently been perfected that
is warranted to make at half spaed 12,000 nails

said to be of the simplest description. Ex
haustive tests proved entirely satisfactory.
This Invention promises to revolutionize the
trade.
The Great Bear River Canal in Utah and
Idaho will be one of tbe grandest irrigative
projects in America, for which $2,000,000 has
been provided. Besides a tunnel 1,200 feet in
length, it will be necessary to remove 220,000
cubic feet of solid rock. The canal will irrigate

Not Much Dolns In Stocks, but Price Well
Snstalned.
The stock market yesterday was sluggish In
the forenoon, and in tbe afternoon Captain
Barbour's efforts to enthuso the small crowd in
attendance were rewarded with a goose egg.
Tbe principal cause of the apathy was that
buying orders were below the market, and
there was no disposition to make concessions.
There were no changes In conditions. Among
the conspicuously strong streets were Central
Traction, Citizens' Traction, and Electric
Tbe gassers about held their own, with very
little offered. The best bid for Brldgewater
was 25, while 43 was asked. Switch and Signal
was a little firmer, and La Norla steady. Peo
ple's Pipcage was in demand at 17& without
offers. In tbe afternoon a good inquiry sprung
up for bridge stocks, but bids were below the
views of holders. Keystone Bank could have
been sold at GO. The Improvement In this stock
has been slow, but appears to be permanent.
The market left off strong, with sales aggre

RATHER BEARISH.
Olt Dnllund Rntbcr Heavy The Standard
Changes Its Base.
Without any particular reason for It, other
than that the change from August to Septem
ber is hardly completed, the oil market yester
day was barren of interest. Trading here was
light and rather spasmodic, following tbe
erratic course of New York and Oil City, both
of which bought cash and sold September. De
liveries of long oil reduced the price of cash,
c to Kc below the September option, indicat
ing plenty of tbe former and no special need of
it, since the August account is pretty well
closed up.
The fact leaked out that tbe Standard, which
had been paying the cash price, is now paying
tbe option prire. Indicating a change of heart
on the part of tbe monopoly. The fluctua
tions were: Openlnc, $1 00: highest, $1 00;
lowest and closing, 99c. The market finished
rather heavy.
Referring to the much discussed subject of
refining Lima oil, tbe New York TVioune re
marks: "When Pennsylvania oil was in tbe
eighties and much talk was indulged in regard
ing tbe utilization of tbe Ohio crude, the Tri
bune printed an authentic statement as the re
sult of an interview with Mr. H. H. Rogers, of
the Standard Oil Company, showing that the
Standard was eagerly experimenting with pro
cesses for refining Ohio crude, but had reached
no satisfactory method by which the article
could be used in any reasonable relation with
Pennsylvania oil, notwithstanding the great
difference in price between the two com
modities. "Yesterday wo made inquiries at the same
source and received assurance that tbe situ
ation was virtually unchanged. There are in
terests which profess to have discovered means
for utilizing the Ohio product in a wonderful
manner, and with respect to these claims we
can offer no testimony. But we can safely
assert that the Standard, with all its resources
and labors, has not yet found tbe way for ac
complishing what the outsiders are usually so
anxious to advertise that they have done."

New Yobs, August 2. The business at the
Stock Exchange still continues to decrease,
and the transactions in listed stocks to-day
were the smallest of the year, while the fluctu
ations in most of the stocks dealt In were in
few cases for more than i of 1 per cent. The
trusts, however, did show some animation, and
with the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and
Indianapolis and St. Louis, tbe Chesepeake and
Ohio, Reading and the leadlrfg Grangers fur
nished all the Interest there was in tbe opera
tions of the day.
London was doing nothing this morning,
and though prices from that center, were
aealn generally higher, this market made no
resnonse to it, and a steady and tame opening
resulted. The statement was published that
the'Sagar Trust had made & large' amount of
money and had about $25,090,000 on hand, part

remainder distributed among the shareholders.
This had tbe effect of stimulating buying of
that stocc, and the Improvement started at tbe
opening continued until a rise of 3 per cent
bad been made. A portion of this was lost
upon the realizing of tbe last hour, but a sub
stantial gain was scored for the day. Among
the stocks of the regular list the Chesapeake
and Ohio were again prominent, and the first
preferred rose sharply. Tbe Cleveland. Colum
bus. Cincinnati and St. Louis common was
active, but moved within narrow limits.
The Grangers were helped by accounts of
the crops along those lines, and Reading by
the return of borrowed stock, indlcating;a re
duction of short interest. The market rose
steadily until well into the afternoon, when
money was bid up to 6 per cent, and realiza
tions caused some setback. The close, bow
ever, was dull and firm at close to- the best
prices.

A PETITION AGAINST BUMMERS.
Baalneaa Men of Smithfleld and Water
Streets Complain.
Business men who operate in the vicinity
of Smithfleld and Water streets are getting
up a petition to Superintendent of Public
Safety Brown to hare a cornerman put on
there. They say the place is a resort for
many people, some of whom get drunk and
make it very disagreeable to transact busi
ness, and the wives and daughters of com
plainants are frequently so insulted by foul
mouthed conversation that thev shudder at
tbe necessity of comiug to the offices on
business. The location of the Baltimore
and Ohio station there has greatly intensi
fied the evil.
A Serious Charge and It Denial.
John Beddick, a colored man who resides
in Clark's court on Seventh avenue, was
committed to jsil by Magistrate Gripp yes
terday for a hearing on the 21st inst. The
charge against EeddicC is assault and bat
tery with more serious intent, and is made
by his stepdaughter, Alice Johnson. Bed
dick strenuously denies the charge, and
claims to be able to prove his innocence.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Stuff is plenty and trade slow. California
fruits are in large supply and markets are slow.
Apples are weaker, owing to liberal supplies.
Huckleberries are scarce and firm. Demand
for creamery and country butter improves and
prices are firmer. Country butter sells readily
at Kc above the lowest point reached last week,
and prospects are for an advanca soon. There
is some difficulty securing an entirely reliable
article in tbe line of hen fruit For a choice
article markets are steady at quotations. Ann
Arundel cantaloups are In fair supply. Water
melons are plenty and drift is toward a lower
level.

out. Numerous remedies were u st-d for it, but
tho Cancer grew steadily worse, 1 i&til it seemed
that I was doomed to follow tbe others of tho
family. I took Swift's Specific, which, front
