CmcAOO The wheat market opened active at an advance over Saturday's closing of c tbe strength being due to the reduced esti mates of two points to the condition of tbe spring wheat crop by the Washington bureau. This estimate justifies tbe expectation of a to tal crop or 489,000,000 to 490.009,000 bushels. Ad ditional strength.was given to the market by the bullish early cables, public 'and private. From 77Jc at tbe start for Decmber wheat there was an improvement to 77JJ77Kc, with the bnlk of the' trading for the first hour around 77Ji77JJc At 77Jc a prominent local operator sold quite a line. The demand came principally from the shprta, who covered freely. j When estimates of to-day's! receipts were an nounced the market took on additional strength, and December bulged to 7SJicthough there bad been a reaction after the 'opening to 77Jfc Fair weather was reported generally throughout the Northwest with tbe tempera ture a little above normal. Speculative trad ing was not as heavy as on Satnrday.and as the demand proved less urgent than was expected to result from the bullish influences" there was a reaction of c or so during tbe last hour of the session, closings being JJc higher forthe day. Corn ruled moderately active at times, but the greater part of the session tbe market was quiet. The demand was mainly from local shorts. The market opened UGH? lower than Saturday, was easy for a time, but soon became firmer, advancing H&e, ruled steady, and closed about the same as Saturday. In oats trading was fairly active, par ticularly at tbe opening, and operators, after offering quite freely at the start, became more conservative, and the rest of the day they were only fair. Shorts bought freely, and, after a slight decline at the opening, a firmer feeling developed, and prices advanced $c from Inside figures, closing steady. Tho feeling in mess pork was somewhat un settled, and prices ruled Irregular. Opening sales were made at 10c decline, and a further reduction of 12Kfill5c was submitted to. Later more steadiness prevailed, and prices rallied 7K10c, but receded again, closing quiet. Quite a good business was done in lard. Opening sales were made at 25c decline, and a further reduction of 5c followed. Later tbe demand Improved, and prices rallied 5 7Kc. closing steady. Trading was moderately active in short ribs. Prices ruled 25c lower, though steady. Tbe leading tutures ranges as follows: Wheat No. 2, September, 75i7(7&5 oc: .Decern oer, 7iifflieW'74ia";ic; year. bennnansvc. trnyf X!

Inside Information Concerning the Flans of the East End Syndicate. EASTERN MOKE! SEEKING KTESTMENT A. real estate deal of some importance was consummated yesterday. A prominent horse trader, whe passes much of his time in Pittsburg, purchased 34 acres between Shields station and Leetsdale, down the Fort "Wayne Railroad.'for which he paid $ 210 an acre. He proposes to enclose it in a substantial fence, lay ouf a race track, and put tip suitable buildings for boarding and training horses. He has several more plants In different parts ol the country, but will dispose of them and concentrate his bnsiness here. The land upon which the Stewart-Booth-Flinn-Magee syndicate Is building, or about to build, 200 bouses, is part of tbe old Negley estate, the venerable mansion Che birthplace and home of several generations being used as a boarding house for the workmen. All tbe houses vill be first-class, and the material brick, which will be furnished by the com pany's own works, situated on the back part of the ground. They have 15 buildings well un der way, some under roof. Permits for these were taken out on Saturday, the law In this re spect appearing to be elastic enough in some cases, at least, to allow of the taking out a per mit after the building has been commenced or even nearly completed. Five of the 15 houses front on Negley ave nue and ten on Stanton. Tbe rest of the 200 will be in the immediate vicinity. The policy of the syndicate is to keep 15 or 20 houses going all the time. As fast as one set Is completed another will be commenced. It is the intention to finish as many as possible this season and the rest next spring. The entire cost will be about Sl.oOaOOO. Tbe Hiland Park Railroad, chartered a few days ago, will pass within a square of this property, and will leave Negley avenue one ot tbe handsomest drives of the city unobstructed. The common "cow-catcher" attachment to a locomotive is about the only article of univer sal use that was never patented. It was in vented by D. B. Davies, of Columbus, C still living and quite aged. He borrowed the idea from tbe mold board of tbe plow which Is used to throw the soil to one side, but was so busy he neglected to patent it until It was too late. It Is in use to-day as originally invented by Mr. Davies, without deviation or change from tbe original plan, and has saved millions of dollars to railroad companies and probably thousands of lives, but not a penny to the inventor. Red lights on trains were adopted on the suggestion of the late Mrs. Swisshelm. after an accident In which she had a narrow escape. Twenty six mortgages did very well for blue Monday. The largest was for $8,000, and the next in size for $5,000. A gentleman who does a large amount of this kind of business re marked: "Business in mortgages shows some shrinkage when compared with last month. While there is considerable-home money avail able for this purpose, it is not inexhaustible This is shown in the hardening of rates. A month or two ago 4 or 5 per cent was com mon. Now It is almost impossible to get a rate lower than 5 and tax. 1 understand there is some Eastern money floating around at 4 and 5, and that it is being placed here and there in small amounts at those figures. I look for 6 per cent to be the ruling rate when business opens np In the fall." Tbe Ohio Inspector of Mines reports the amount of coal mined in Ohio for 1SS8 at 10,297, 608 tons. This is an increase of more than 600, 000 tons over 1887 and 2,479,800 tons more than was mined in 1886. In other words, the product of Ohio coal mines has increased over 30 per cent in tbe past two years. In view of the ap pearance of natural gas fuel in many sections of the State, this is considered a remarkable showing, and indicates tbe satisfactory quality of Ohio coal. Ohio ranked second among tbe coal prodncing States In 1887, but in the past year Illinois has taken second place and Ohio is third. Pennsylvania being first. During the year 52 mines were opened in Ohio, 23 sus pended operations and 14 were worked out or abandoned, leaving a net gain for tbe year of 15. To obtain cool, fresh air and other comforts deemed indispensable to the summer season, it Is not necessary to take a long journey from home to the seaside or mountains. They can be found almost anywhere in the suburbs. A prominent real estate broker realized this fact so fully that he built a cabin in the woods in the vicinity of Swissvale, where he and his family have been living for several weeks. He says it beats the fashionable resorts out of sight. There is a freedom about such a life that Is Infinitely more enjoyable than the re straints Imposed by fashionable society. His children enjoy it immensely. The expense is trifling. This gentleman's experience may be of service to those who are wondering where they will spend the rest of the dog-days. Sixty years ago railroads wero unknown in this country, and the population of tbe United States consisted of 12,000,000 people. To-day we operate upward of 165,000 miles of railroad and our population has increased to 65,O0u,00a Sixty years ago the aggregate wealth of the United "States was less than Sl,00aoO0,0CO; at present It is estimated at S56,000,000,00a Over our 165,000 miles of railroad there was carried last year 475,000,000 people, and 000,000,000 tons of freight were transported. Upon these lines are engaged 1,000,000 employes. Their equip ment consists of 30,000 locomotives, 31,000 passenger cars, 7,000 baggage cars, and 1,000,000 freight cars. The capital invested in construc tion and equipment amounts to $3,000,000,000, and tho yearly disbursements for labor and sup plies exceed 1800,000,000. BUSINESS BELOW ZEE0. Stock Brokers Come Together, Exchange Gossip and Go Home. The stock market yesterday was not particu larly Interesting from any point of view, busi ness being restricted to the sale of 30 shares of Electric In the afternoon. Nothing was done in the forenoon. There were no material changes in quotations, except in Switch and Signal, which scored a handsome advance. Everything else hung around the old figures, any deviations therefrom being retrogressive. Perhaps an exception should be made of La Norla, but il is in such a peculiar condition, so handicapped by mystery and manipulation, that fractional changes go for nothing. Its friends however, still claim that it will eventu ally develop into a big thing. It is certainly cheap at present quotations, If there is any thing at all In it There was a bid of 3 for Point Bridge and 15 for Union. "That's as much or more than they are worth," remarked J broker. "The preferred stock absorbs every 'hing. leaving nothing for the common and.fn niy opinion, there never will be anything for it" Bids and offers were: WOBKING. AFTXBHOOW. 1. P.. S. A M. EX 450 fuu.

Petroleum Traders Patting- In Their Time Watching the Cat Jump. Very little business -was done on the Petro leum Exchange yesterday. The feeling at the opening was rather firm in consequence of the bullish condition's, but outsiders held aloof, and professionals did not feel vicious enough to scalp each other. Cash oil was about c cheaper than the regulars. The market held above a dollar until a short time before the close, when it broke a trifle, in consequence of a bear demonstration In New York, which ended about as soon as begun. The short interest here is very small, traders on that side fearing a pinch at delivery time wbicb would be easy to bring about, if statis tics can be depended upon. The feeling at the close was unsettled, as indicated by "puts" being in the majority. Saturday's clearings wereSOCOOO. Features of the market appear below. An expert says: "I think tbe bullish senti ment Is slowly but surely widening, and that It will bring in new buyers later. Oil shows a tenacity of staying power about tbe dollar line, and as tbe decrease In the available stocks above ground still continues, exceeding the estimates of consumption previously made, I look for a gradual advance in tbe price."

He sold ten shares of Philadelphia Gas at S7. XjA Noeia made a move yesterday morning that was not discovered by Mr. Bailey until this afternoon. It was surprising. Stock brokers are hopeful of a better market when tbe "boys" who are away get home. The hope seems to be well founded. Gas has been struck at the Fuel Gas Com pany's well in McEeesport, at a depth of about 2,200 feet The pressure Is light. Au DJIEW Castee did some business yester day. He sold ten shares of Switch and Signal at 21 and bought ten shares of Manufactur ers' Gas at 2S. - Another gas well basbeen brought in on the Duff Farm at Murrysville. by Thomas Shel ton. for the National Transportation Company.

A STB0NG JfiONT. x Interesting Fentnres of the General Stock List Sugar Trust Recovers Lost Ground Grangers Strong, but Coalers Neglected The 'Drift Toward a Higher Level. New Yobk, August 12 There was only a quiet business In the stock market to-day, but the dealings were marked by many features, and, while Considerable irregularity existed .among the specialties, the general list contin- uea to present tne same firm to strong front which It has for tbe past week. The London fprices this morning were materially hlghertban our ngures 01 oaturuay evening, and heavy buying orders for foreign account were reported in the forenoon, while during the day there was considerable bull manipulation. The Western operators and the local professionals sold st icks, but except In the new Big Fours and the Chesapeake and Chios there was little impression made upon values. Sugar Trust be came a weak feature on the injunction applied for by the reoelver of the North River Sugar Refining Company, but the loss was made up before the close of business. The -realizing In the Big Fours was very marked and the Chesapeake and Ohios follow ed In behind, being more promldent In tbe deal ings than usual of lateC TheGonld stocks be came most prominent, and the story that Mr Gould was under the market at present re ceived some credence, though the same thing Is said of the Vanderbttt.- The stocks of the roads which are talked of a likely to come into tbe .Big Four combination! ware all socially strong, and' Wheeling.andLake Erie, Lake Erie and Western! and Chicago and East Illinois, .'all, made handsome gains. Wabash preferred, however; was one of the most promi nent features, becoming unusually active and scoring ucttiucu gam. auo urangers were TUESDAY. AUGUST 13. all strong on the recent showing of tbe earn ings, but the coal stocks were quite neglected with the exception of Jtead!ug,which con tinues heavy. First prices in the general list showed ad vances over Saturday's prices extending to $ ber cent, but as the realizing In the Big Fours and Chesapeake and Ohios checked the up ward movement and small progress was made until noon. Sugar Trust in the meantime be coming extremely weak. Wabash preferred, 1 started the upward movement, but was soon oined bv others and the Chicago and East Ilinols. RaMt Talanri Vv.nlavitlA anil ?j9lhvilli iake Erie and Western, Canadian Pacific and others scored handsome advances. The recov ery in Sugar Trust was also very marked in the last hour. The market closed quiet but strong and generally at close to the best prices. The final changes aro generally m tbe direction' of higher prices, Chicago and Bast Illinois rose 3 Per cent, the preferred 4K; Canada Pacific ?A; Wabash, 1: the prelerredl and Rock Island and Louisiana and Nashville lper cent each. Big Four, common, lost l?c Railway bonds were again very dull, the sales of all issues reaching only $774,000, while there was no animation anywhere in the list." There was a marked lack of vim to the dealings, and unlike stocks, there was no feature of Im portance. The most important was an advance ofwabash general certificates, 6 to 50.

The body of George W. Dries, of Reading, formerly proprietor of the American Honse at Lyons, and a hotel man well-known through out this section of the State, was found bang ing in the stable of the hotel. He left a note giving directions as to his funeral and wonnd up Dy saying: "tiooa night to all my friends." The heirs of the brothers William F. and George A. W. Norton, deceased millionaires, of Louisville, Ky., have decided to give 160,000 to tbe building fund of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, moved here from South Carolina a few years ago. Both the brothers made princely gifts to the seminary during their lifetime. The two Hollii brothers, who murdered Mrs. Gellls, a widow, and her two daughters,in McDowen conntv, Ky., last week, met a just fate yesterday.

The Hotel Arlington, at the famous Blue Lick Springs, Ky., was destroyed by fire at 1230 o'clock yesterday morning. Loss, $35,000; insurance. $16,000.

The hotel had about 150 guests. The east and west bound morning trains on the Amboy division of the Pennsylvania Rail road, packed full of passengers to and from the shore, collided at East Moorestown, nine miles from Camden, N.

The Treasury Department has received a letter from a merchant of St Paul. Minn., ask ing that the Department's decision of May 27 Aob iu icgu w iue uuty an so-cauea worsted cloth be not enforced against certain purchases marie bv him. Heexnlained that th rnnrt in question arrived in this country and were sold by him prior to their arrival at prices based upon Xhe former practice of classifying these goods. Secretary Windom denied his request on the ground tbat he does not feel authorized to exempt any importations from the exaction of the duty applicable under the law. At Bryant. Wis., Saturday night George Irish was awakened by his dog barking, and upon getting up thought a bear was after his pigs. He got bis gun and followed the dog into the woods and saw what he thought was a bear. He shot and killed a man by the name of Bowman. It seems that Bowman was an out law from New York: that a sheriff from that place was at Bryant to arrest him, and tbat as soon as Bowman discovered the sheriff in tho house be jumped through the window and started for the woods. The coroner's verdict finds It was accidental shooting. Irish is a good citizen and regrets the occurrence, but the neignnornooa are talking 01 giving Mm a testi monial as a public benefactor. A most remarkable story comes from As pen, CoL, regarding an unexpected find in one of the principal mines on the Aspen mountain. Last Thursday night the night shift In the Minney mine Messrs. Donnelly, Mackey, Tay lor and QllflUan put twoSO-lnch holes in tbe breast ot the 600-foot let! and fired tbe blast just before leaving for the surface. On return ing to the mine It was found that the two shots had broken Into a cave, the extent of which they proceeded to explore. Going in a few feet they found the walls covered with crystal lized lime and lead that glittered like dia monds. Here and there stalactites hung from the celling.

The amount of stuff on tbe market was light, and for anything choice that appeared demand was good. The stock, of potatoes and apples has been well cleaned up, and no longer goes begging. Good peaches are scarce. A full supply of fruits and vegetables will no doubt be to the frbnt by to-morrow, and the general drift is toward a lower level. Butter Is firm. Eggs are steady. A Neville Island gardener said to-day: "Our products will not reach the quantity of last season, and I am glad of it, for we are likely to get better prices. Last fall plenty of stuff brought to market might as well have been allowed to rot. This will be a better paying season for gardeners, with less stuff to handle."
