Dealers in fruits and vegetables report a
slow week's trade, and charge it up to the
absence of many of their best customers at
rie seaside and'mountains Of new fruits
tliat have showed up for the first time this
vek. Concord grapes and green gage
plnms from the Sonth are worthy of note.
The berry season is close to its goal. Monon
g; ihela blackberries anil whortleberries in palls
ar e still on "band, but another week is expected
to wind them up.
leas and beans are scarce and higher. Their
sea.ton will soon be at an end. At the fish
stall's the report was that supply of late has
beenJiardly up to demand. The supply of lake
salmsn is particularly short. A leading dealer
said: "We could readily sell double the
amount of lake salmon wo are able to secure."
fcoft crals are in short supply owing to heavy
deiurad from seaside hotels. General trade is
fair for the season. At this tiroo of the year
fish trade is at its nadir.
Florists report quietness all along the line.
Orders from Chautauqua and Cressou occa
sionally relieve the monotony of the trade, but
in gener al little is doing.
bociet.r makes little demand on the beautiful
things of the garden at this season of the year.
Tbo National Convention of Florists, which
will atsecible at Buffalo on the 20th of August,
will have a. number ot representatives from
our city. .t the meeting last August in New
York over -WO delegates were preseut from all
sections of the country.
In the linn of butter, csgs and poultry, prices
are stiff emn g. Poultry Is reported v ery scarce
throughout Pittsburg's bailiwick. Butter is
no longer tli drug it was a week or two ago.
Choice esgs i.uc Lot easv to be had at this time
of the year. As to staple meats, trade Is dull
and prices are 'unchanged.
In all lines o market basket materials, deal
ers report quii'itness, and attribute it to the ab
sence of a niul litudc of good customers who
are seeking r est and recreation at watering
places.

Chicago-There was a continuation of the
late dullness and weakness in wheat, to-day's
market being just as narrow and featureless as
noted on any ot the preceding days of the
week. Opening figures were about the same as
yesterday's closing, and temporary firmness
was derived from the early cables, prices work
ing up yic or so. The weakness developed was
attributed to the anticipation of a favorable
report by the Washington Agricultural Bureau
to-morrow, and was intensified by some selling
orders from Ned York. It was claimed, too,
that thresher returns in Indiana were showing
up big, and there was talk about St. Louis ship
ments by the 20th proximo which would quickly
tell on elevator stocks there.
The market rallied feebly from tbe midday
break. From bottom prices a fractional gain
was made, but general liquidation by tired
local longs, and the buying limited, in the main'
to one leading operator, gave to tho market a
heavy tone up to the very close, and the latest
bids were close around the lowest of the day.
Based on yesterday's closings, there was a net
loss of kic
Corn ruled quiet with the feeling rather
easier. Trading was light and confined prin
cipally to tbe local crowd, and fluctuations
were limited to yj&i range. The easier feel
ing was attributed to the fine weather, largo
receipts weaker cables and a decline of 54c in
the cash market. The market opened a shade
below yesterday's closing figures, v. as easy and
declined 0ic. became inactive and closed
KffiKc lower than yesterdav.
Oats were weaker and YeSifi lower. Trading
was moderate and chiefly in May. The near
futures were the quietest aud weakest owing
to good offerings and a lack of demand,
especially in August, In which tbe "shorts"
have covered freely, leaving the market with
out support.
Rather more business transacted in mess
pork. Opening sales were at 5c decline, which
was followed by a further reduction of 5c
Later the feeling was stronger and prices
rallied 1012c and closed steady.
A fair trade was reported in the lard market.
Later the demand improved slightly and prices
rallied 7J01Oc, closing steady.
Trading was moderate in short ribs. Fluctu
ations were confined within a narrow range
Early prices ruled 2K05c lower, but rallied
again later in the day and closed steady.

LAND DIRT CHEAP.
Good Building Lots Offered as Low as
Five Dollars a Foot.
NATURAL GAS COMPETITION.
How to Compel Delinquent Debtors to Walk
Up to the Captain's Office.
HOMES FOE T0ILEES JLT J0M8T0WN
Those who maintain that all the cheap
land around Pittsburg has been bought tip
are not well posted. At Aspinwall Place
lots are selling as low as $150, or $5 a foot.
The dearest are only 320 a foot. Good lots
are offered in many parts of the East End as
low as $300. The same is true of the "West End
and the Soutbside. The fact is there is an
abundance of good and cheap property in the
market, but as there is an active demand for it,
values will necessarily move up. Therefore
delay may be costly to those desiring to
purchase.
Some of tbe natural gas companies of Pitts
burg will soon have to face extensive and welt
organized competition, which may seriously af
fect their earnings. The gas line owned by
Park Bros t Co. will furnish several other
Pittsburg firms with fuel tor the next three
years. The Equitable Gas Company, composed
of a number of Pituburg iron and steel firms,
has part of Its line in operation and is making
contracts with a number of firms not in the
company. Oliver Bros & Co. are pushing the
construction of their big line to the Bellevernon
field, and will have it completed by October 1,
when they will have an independent supply of
fuel.
Secretary McGinley, of the Philadelphia
Company, states according to the American
Manufacturer, that they are renewing many
contracts at a material advance on tbe old
rates, securing new dwelling house consumers
and are rapidly introducing the meter system,
which will effect a saving of gas and at the
same time increase tbe revenues The drop
ping of a few big concerns that have contracted
with sew lines will leave all the more for the
smaller consumers and assure a good supply
during the winter months The advisability of
building a lmetothe Bellevernon field has been
discussed by the Philadelphia Company, but in
all probability it will not be pushed this year.

This company owns a large farming tract of
land on Yoder Hill, just west of Johnstown.
The top of this hill Is 1,751 feet above the level
of tho sea, while the Pennsylvania Railroad
station is only 1.1S4 above tbe sea level. It
will thus be seen that one danger, that of
Hoods can never trouble this place. It is pro
posed to build an Incline plane from near the
center of the town which will reach the lots in
a little more than half a mile. Here probably
500 acres can be laid out in pleasant building
lots, from which access to the mills will be
easy.
The deeds will contain stringent provisions
prohibiting tho sale ot liquors, and arrange
ments will be made for locations for religious
and educational buildings The scheme is
looked upon with much favor, and will help to
solve the problem of the future of Johnstown.
Street improvement in Wilkinsburgls almost
at a standstill for want of money. The coun
cil neglected to levy taxes for the work last
spring, and an empty treasury Is tbe result.
None of the flrepluirs have been put in, al
though water will be turned on in about two
weeks These are works ot necessity, and
should be completed forthwith. Conservatism
is a good thing in its way. but it should not be
practiced at the expense of the public
One of the most important departments in
conducting business Is that of collections The
following remarks on the subject, coming from
a practical man, are worthy of attention:
"Those who don't pay promptly always take
advantage of any uncertainty in the ring of
your demands and have plenty of excuses
ready to put you off with. Very few but will
begin to hustle if yon come out with a strong 'I
must have it.' You may have asked them be
fore, 'wishing they would pay It,' or 'when can
you pay it,' but when yon get to a place wbero
you know you must('root, bog, or die,' then
there is if at any time at all, a desire to accom
modate you. They 'will borrow it for you,' or
hurry some one up "who owes them,' or In some
way get the money if yon must have it, whereas
before it wasn't possible to do anything for you
to-day.
"Make the demand in a straightforward,
pleasant way as if you expected to get it. Make
your business known the first thing after the
usual greetings You make nothing by talking
of other things first; it won't be as easy to get to
the point as at first. Get a definite promise as
to time and amount if you can't get all and
then be sure to be 'promptly on hand at the
time mentioned and demand the amount
promised."
The annouccemeut'is made that the Vander
bllts have at last bought tbe Beech Creek Rail
road stock not hitherto held by them, and that
they now own the road in fee simple. The price
paid is said to have been (40 and (20 per share.
The total capital is Sl.300,000 preferred stock
and 3,700,000 common. The Vacderbilts pre
viously owned about 55 per cent of each class
The Cottonseed Oil Trust Is waning in
strength. Reports recently published chow that
tho number of mills outside of the trust exceeds
the number Included in the organization. The
other trusts will soon come tumbling after.
Sugar and lead are decidedly shaky.
HOLD THEIR OWN.
With Few Exceptions Local Stocks fihow
No Particular Chance.
There was a slim attendance of brokers at tbe
Stock Exchange yesterday, and there was not
much vim In the proceedings, only one small
deal being made, ten shares of Switch and Sig
nal eoingat21K,yet with few exceptions the mar
ket held its ownandclotcd firm, showing that
it would require very little effort to make busi
ness The fact that stocks are so well sustained
with scarely any buying demand is conclusive
that they possess a large amount of inherent
strength. There was no particular change in
the gassers Electric was wanted at B23.
Switch and Signal moved up a peg, closing at
21K bid. Manufacturers' Gas was a trifle
stronger. Wi being asked. There are about
300 shares of i'oint Bridge floating around, and
3 was bid for some of it. It is held at about 5.
The weakest thing on the list was Pituburg

THE FINANCIAL FDTDEE.
Every Evidence of a Healthy Condition of
the Money Market.
Business at the local banks yesterday was of
the usual description. Discounting showed no
improvement, and, clerical work was about a
good average, except checking, which was a
little off. Money was in good supply and rates
unchanged. Tho clearings were 51.713, 1C2 E2
and the balances $425,362 71 A New York
authority says:
"There is no longer any special concern felt
in banking circles respecting the financial
future. During the week careful inquiry shows
that there is no cause for anxiety, despite the
recent Jarge exports of gold and the expected
heavy call for money to aid in moving the
crops President H. W. Cannon, of the Chase
National Bank, formerly Controller of the
Currency, Is reported as saying -that there is
every indication of a healthy condition of the
money market, although rates for call and
time money may advance somewhat in the early
autumn.
"In case of any stringency he had no doubt
that blocks of United States bonds wonld be
offered to tho Govemnment, and very likely
the Secretary of the Treasury may increase the
price be pavs for 1 per cents to a point that will
net the Government, say, 2 per cent per annum.
Moreover, money is easily obtained from Europe
on account of our more intimate relations The
balance of exchange does not now appear un
favorable to New York, and from present Indi
cations shipments of gold to Europe have ceased
for this season."
President Oltott. of the Central Trust Com
panv, Russell Sage, President Jordan, of tbe
Western National, President Tappan, of the
Gallatin, and others coincided with these views
Money on call at New York yesterday was easy
at 36 per cent; last loan, 8; closed offered
at 2. Prime mercantile paper, 44C. Ster
ling exchange quiet and weaker at H 84 for
60-day bills and H 87 for demand.

The West Knocks Out a Scheme to Broak
the OH Market.
At the opening yesterday the oil market re
flected the prevailing apathy in speculative
trading. About 1 o'clock there was a little
hurst of excitement caused by New York turn
ing bear and trying to smash things, but Pitts
burg, Oil City aud Bradford discovered the
maneuver and turned buyers thus frustrating
the scheme. The trading was entirely pro
fessional and of small proportions Very little
cash oil was handled. It brought about X cent
less than September. The market closed
strong on a rally ot 1 cent from the lowest
point of tho day. The fluctuations were:
Opening,'100aiJ: highest, 100; lowest, 99K;
closing. 100. Thursday's clearings were 740,

During July 65 Washington county wells
were completed, as follows: Twenty-two in tbe
Washington pool, 4 in the Gordon, S2 at Tay

tho end of the month there were 205 uncom
pleted wells; in the Washington field, 47: Gor
don, 18; Taylorstown, 119: Canonsburg.ll; wild
cats, 10. The new production is as follows:
Washington, 2,535 barrels: Taylorstown. 1,665
barrels; Gordon, 240 barrels; Canonsburg, 22
barrels; total, 4,437 barrels
The following is tbe statement of operations
In the Macksburg field for July: Wells com
pleted in July, 9: producing. 5; daily produc
tion, barrels 43; average dally production per
well, barrels, 8.6; dry, if drilling. July 31,12;
rigs up, July 31, 4; rigs building, July 31,0;

The scarcity of both petroleum and barrels
at Philadelphia has checked the chartering of
vessels and notices have been posted at many
of the refineries that no contracts for oil de
livery will be made until after August 23. The
scarcity of oil Is due to a large extent to tbe
arrival of a fleet ot tank steamships which
have heretofore been running to Batoum, Rus
sia. Owing to tbe Increase of tonnage tunning
to that port, and tbe decline of tbe Russian oil
fields these vessels have been forced to Phila
delphia. . Yesterday's Oil Ranee.

STOCKS EALLY.
A Fairly Firm and Aettvo Market London
Up to New York Figures A Drop In
Sugar Trust Smalt Gains nnd
a Good Close.
New Yoke, August 9. There was more vim
to the stock speculation to-day and the buying
was of a more general nature than during the
past few days, which imparted a firmer and
more pronounced tone to the dealings There
was very little news of importance to affect
values, but tbe reports from the crops in Illi
nois the action of tbe Northwestern in restor
ing coal rates between Milwaukee andSt.Paul,
and the additional favorable returns of earnings
were factors in the market to-day. There was
what seemed to be good buying in the Vander-bllts-Gould
stocks and Villardstbe first of
which did much to give a confident tone to the
buying, and the pools were still active in their
favorites resulting in a general though mod
erate appreciation.
Londonhad gotten over the influence of tbe
advance In the Bank of England rate, and this
morning was fully up to our figures of last
evening, while our market opened ud from 'A
to per cent. There was a better distribution
of the business done though the special favor
ites such as the Chesapeake and Ohio, the
Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and St. Louis
and Lake Erie and Western maintained their
ascendency in the dealings and furnished an
element of strength to the rest of the market.
London was again a buyer in the early trading,
but received but little support from tho local
operators until well into tbe morning when
Missouri PacificandNotthernPacificpreferred
became especially active and strong, and were
followed later by Union Pacific
The Gould properties were features of the
afternoon's trading and the Wabashes esneci
aily under the influence of the very flattering
report of earnings for last month made a
handsome advance. Oregon Transcontinental
also was remarkable for a spurt which carried
it to over 1 per cent and among the other low
griced shares Southern Pacific, preen Bav and
an Francisco preferred made specially large
gains on small trading. Toward the latter por
tion of the afternoon a selling movement which
was supposed to emanate from Chicago was
begun iu Sugar Trust and tho pressure was
lifted only with the close of business: by which
time its price had been depressed 3 per cent.
This movement affected to some extent the
rest of the market and concessions were made
from the best prices over the entire list. The
close, however, wa dull but firm at fractional
advances over the opening fhrnres Tbe only
important final change amongtbe active stocks
was the loss ot S per cent in sugar.
Tho railroad bond market was quiet, and the
Chesapeake and Ohio 5s and Richmond and
Allegheny lsts maintained their leid in tbe
dealings the first named f urulshlngSS6,0CO out
of a total of 31.308,000. Tbe market was firm,
but there was no decided tone to the dealings
St. Paul gold 7s rose 2 to 12, Chicago, St. Louis
aud Pittsburg lsts 3 to 95. and Wabash general
receipts 4to4S. Northwestern sinking funds
lost 2 at 120.

Country Produce Jobbing; Prices.
Tomatoes and potatoes show a tendency to
higher prices on account of scarcity. Produce
is scarcely as plenty as for the past week or two,
but supplies are ample for all demands Plums
and peaches from the South bejin to put in an
appearance. Butter and cheese are more ac
tive, with an npward drift Eggs are steady,
the difficulty being to secure ad entirely relia
ble article at this season. When It coues to
candling eggs as is necessary under all circum
stances at this season, consumers fight shy of
hen fruit. A distinguished humorist says:
'"Tolerably good eggs like tolerably good peo
ple, are ever at a discount." An advance in
cheese has been made both East and West
within a few days and will reach here soon if
all signs do not fail.

A BINDING STATE TAX.
The Severe Penalties Provided for Non
conformity Thereto.
The County Commissioners yesterday re
ceived from the State Board of Revenue
Commissioners the new blanks for the re
turns of personal property subject to State
tax. The blanks contain explicit directions
as to taxable property. Several sections of
the act show that any person or officer mak
ing a false return shall be guilty of perjury,
punishable by a tine not exceeding $500 and
undergo an imprisonment not exceeding
seven years. For an assessor to accept a
return without administering the oath or
affirmation, is a misdemeanor, and punish
able with a fine not to exceed $500. If the
assessors or any taxable person make any
arrangement to return a less amount of tax
able property than should be returned, tbey
shall be guilty of conspiracy and upon con
viction be lined not more than 1,000 and
sentenced to imprisonment not exceeding
three years.
Another change is that the county now
gets one-third ot the tax for trouble in col
lecting it. Heretofore the Revenue Com
missioners merely allowed expenses The
new blanks will" be used for the fall col
lection. A Bride and Groom In Jail.

Little Maggie Hayden, only 5 years old. who
lives on Webster avenue, corner Klrkpatrick
street, became so badly affected with catarrh
as to greatly alarm her parents and friends
She bad a stuffed up condition in her head and
throat so that at times it was difficult for her
to breathe. She was restless nights, and the
dry, raspiue cough was very severe. She had a
hollow look in her eyes and emaciated appear
ance, and she seemed to have a cold all tho
time. Her parents took her to tbe Catarrh and
Dyspepsia Institute, at 323 Penn avenue, and
after consulting with Mrs Dr. Crossley aad her
associate physicians she began treatment and
became entirely cured in two mouths. Her
father says:
"My daughter has been cured by tbe physi
cians or the Catarrh and Dyspepsia institute.
I hereby sign my name.
"KOLLINS D. HAYDEN."
Catarrh is a disease that affects children as
well as adults, and often at a verv early age.
It Is the direct cause of most of the consump
tion of this climate, and not infrequently . the
disease develops into consumption with chil
dren under 10 years of age. The four physi
cians associated with the Catarrh and Dys
pepsia Institute have for years made a special
study of catarrh and dyspepsia and diseases of
women. If they can cure you they will frankly
tell you. If theycannot they will as frankly
tell you that The crowns of patients who
daily assemble in their parlors bear proof to
their success in making cures. Remember the
place. 323 Penn avenue. Consultation free to
