3M1BKET BASKET. California Fruits of Delicious Flavor in Full Supply. COKN AND WATERMELONS FIRMER. Prairie Chickens and Eeed Birds Added to Poultry list. -SUPPLY OF SALMOH BELOW DEMAUD Office or rrrrsBUBO Dispatch, FBIDAY. August 23,1889. J , In the general line of market basket ma terials tbere are few changes from last Sat urday's report. The absence of many of the best customers at watering places is still felt by venders of fruits and vegetables. 'While the good things of farm and garden are at their best, multitudes are enjoying them at iioints away from home. The fancy restaur ant trade is at its lowest this month. The ho.-ne coining is, however, near at hand and dealers all have the faith and assurance of a first-class fall trade. California crapes, plums and pears of the most delicious flavor abound on the stalls. Watermelons, cantaloups and Jersey sweet potatoes -were never better than those offered the past week. Peaches of every variety are also to be had at reasonable prices. If Pittsburg had to depend on borne raised fruits this season there -would be a great dearth in this line. California, Georgia, Delaware and Southern Ohio have been more highly favored In fruit lines than our home growers. Roast ing cars and beans are scarce and higher in a jobbing way, but not sufficient to change retail prices. The butter situation is practically unchanged. The same is true of poultry. Prairie chickens and reed birds have put in their first appear ance since the middle of August. Eggs in job lots are 2c per dozen higher than they were last "BTPCt. At the fish stalls it was reported that stock was scarce and firm. Eastern fish of all kinds and lake salmon are not in supply sufficient for demand. While prices are advanced at sources of supply, tbere is practically no change hero. Dealers here report that for some kinds of fish Uioy do not get their own. In general, retail venders of market basket filling report dull trade, but have largo hopes that a better day is about to dawn. Following are the latest prices, as furnished by leading dealers in the line of choice ma terials for Sunday's dinner table: Meats The best cats of tenderloni steak range from 20 to 25c, with last figure for very fancy, which are very often no better than the 20c article; sirloin, best cuts, from 18 to 20c; standing nb roast, from 15 to 20c; chuck loaet. 10 to 12c; best round steaks, 16c; boiling beef, 5 to Ec; sweet breads, 20 to 60c per pair; beef kidne. 10c apiece; beef liver. 6c a pound; calf livers, 23c apiece; corned beef from 6 to 10c per pound.

The demand for drygoodsat first hands showed improvement tOKiay. the continued activity in thejobbtnr trade being felt very decidedly, and the im pression was that from now on business -will be of steady growth. There was a better feeling and a strong undertone to fabrics. The market -was unchanged and there were no special inci dents worthy of note. Jobbers were doing a good business in all departments, with very little calling of prices. Unsaleable ginghams occasionally furnished material for special at tractions in prices, but values are maintained 'JF with, gooa aeat ox steadiness. MAEKETS JY WIRE. Considerable Activity in the Wheat Pit, bnt Price Lack Staying Qualities Cables Unfavorable to Holders Longs Cnlond nnd Sherls Cover. Chicago Wheat was more active to-day, but it was at weak and somewhat lower prices. While the market appeared to be inclined to broaden a little it was also predisposed to bear ishness from the very opening, and the tendency of speculative values was downward through out the session. Bear news predominated, and tho weather everywhere was again of a char acter to encourage short selling. Cables, both public and private, were unfavorable for hold ers. In the Northwest the movement out of farmers' hands continues disappointingly light, but this circumstance does not appear to weaken the conndence of the shorts as yet, since the crop Is secured and will have to move sooner or later. There was quite large and general liquida tion to-day, longs unloading and shorts cover ing. Ono prominent local operator was a steady and large buyer all day and his pur chases checked tbe decline more than once when December got down to 77c but the market finally got away from him, and during tbe last hour settled to TTc The close was steady at 77c for December, or Jc under yes terday's latest bids. Cash, August and de ferred futures were correspondinglylower, and trading in cash -was only moderately active at the December line. A large speculative business was transacted In corn earlv to-day, and the feeling was weak and prices" lower. Later in the session the market became quite steady on a decline. The influences on the market were the same as noted for several days past, namely, the large movement in this direction and favorable weather. The volume of business was quite heavy. Longs were selling and shorts covering. Tbere was considerable pressure to sell. May offerings being very heavy, and prices reached the lowest point so far on the new crop. Do mestic markets were off iiKs and cables dull and weak. To-day's arrivals were abont as anticipated, and estimates for tbe market show considerable increase, being placed at 1,000 cars. Cash property met -with a fair demand, with liberal offerings, and prices averaged JsJc lower than yesterday. Trading in oats was more free. The near de liveries remained more steady, as receipts were lighter than expected,- being 290 cars. Shorts were disposed to cover, and absorbed the offerings with sufficient rapidity to support prices for August and September. JIaywas offered freely and prices declined He There was considerable changing of contracts from September to Slay, ana same selling of May and buying of September. In bog products quite an active speculative trade was reported. Offerings were liberal, de mand Only fair, and the feeling unsettled and weak. Receipts of hoes were quite large and prices declined decidedly. Trading was largely In contracts for short account and Jannary de livery. At tbe declining scale purchases were fair, but not sufficient to improve prices to any great extent.

THE A BUSINESCHANCE. Good Opening For a First-ClaBS Hotel in Wilkinsburg Borough. NATURAL GAS COMPANIES SCORED. Their Weakness Attributed to Causes Which Should he Eemedied. PITTSBURG A CEEDIT0E AMOKS CITIES There is a good opening for a hotel at "Wilkinsburg. Theboroushis growing so rapidly that existing accommodations are wholly inadequate to the demand. There are a number of good sites for a hotel, any of which could be purchased for a reason able price. A first class hotel, with pleas ant surroundings, would be largely patron ized in the summer season, and the perma nent and transient custom would make it profitable in tbe winter. A broker, wbo is a conspicuous figure on 'Change, in conversation yesterday evening, had a crow to pick with tbe Philadelphia and Chartiers Gas companies. He said: "Phila delphia going a begging at 36K and 87. I don't understand it. It ought to be one of the strong est and liveliest properties on 'Change, but, in stead. Is one of tbe dullest and weakest. I am aware that the company will soon lose some of Soutbside mill custom, but as that has never been regarded as valuable, its withdrawal should make no particular difference. Tbe loss ought to be more than made good by ex tensions to private bouses, where better rates are paid. I think the trouble lies in misman agement, or rather a desire to throw tbe com pany into the hands of the ring, to do as they please squeez3 the little fishes, for Instance. The trust scheme is proof of this to my mind. "Tbe Chartiers Company is another instance of mismanagement, or wilful disregard of the rir.hu nt stockholders. It onebt to be paying good dividends. Fixed charges, interest on' bonds and every other sort of expense Qo not approach the earnings by 40 or 60 per cent Where does this money goT Wbo gets in These are questions that I would like to na answered. I think both companies are run the interest of a few and not for the many. new deal in the management is needed-fa broader policy and less boggishness. Ills would. In mv opinion, brine the stock up to Its intrinsic value.'' According to reports tbe old Dunkard to.Vn- ship oil field in Greene county is experiencing a revival that is fast developing intoaflrst class boom. Thl3 territory was first drilled in 1861 and operations lasted there until 1881. 1 All that time no casing was used by drillers aid as a consequence a number of wells which bade fair to be good producers were mined by fire clay "cave-ins." Since that time until recently the territory has been dead, bat now a number of drillers are at work putting down wells in the vicinity of the old holes. The Waynesburg .Company is drilling two, the Kanawha Oil Company and Tanner A Turner three more, while the Willow Grove Oil Company and Guffey, Griffith & Domiclc are putting down five wells. There are already five producing wells in that locality, with a total production of 160 barrels a day. An effort is being made to save tbe shade trees on Wallace street, Wilkinsburg, which will. It Is to be hoped, prove successful. A few days ago an article was printed in this depart ment of The Dispatck showing how a num ber of trees had been successfully transplanted at Portland, Me. The article attracted the at tention of members of the Wilkinsburg Coun cil, and was discussed at the meeting of that body Thursday evening. The plan of removing trees which was therein described was consid ered feasible. No action was taken, but the feeling was strongly In favor of saving the trees. Mr. Stewart, a member of Council, remarked yesterday: "We have had several offers for re moving and saving the shade trees on Wallace street, one as low as $20 a tree. This is so rea sonable that it will probably be accepted." It may be added that If the question of saving or destroying the treeslwere submitted to a vote of the citizens of the borongh, the almost unanimous voice would be, "Save them." A gentleman who frequents Fourth avenue and handles large amounts of money, said yes terday evening: "The opinions of local bankers on tbe money question, which appeared In The Dispatch, struck the right key. There may be a little flurry in the East, but Pittsburg and the West will scarcely feel it. It sbonld be re , membered that Pittsburg is one of the few creditor cities in the country. This brings money here Instead of sending it away, and is tbe reason why we suffered so little in 1873 and former panics. A man who is not in debt and has plenty of cash in bis pockets has nothing to fear from the ups and downs of the money market. Pittsburg is in that happy condition. A letter from the Mexican capital speaks of faulty packing as the great drawback In seek ing to introduce merchandise from the United States. Tbe writer says goods "are put up In too large and too heavy packages, and when we come to pay duty on tbe goods themselves we find that we pay according to" the gross weight of the packages, and tbat very often the weight of the box Is four or five times more than that of the goods contained in them." FAE FE0M EXCITING. An Uneventful Day In tbe Stock Market La Norlo Scalped. Business at the Stock Exchange yesterday morning was limited to the Sale of a member ship at S460. This stock has been as high as $l,30a These two facts are a sufficient com mentary on the business situation. There was some scalping in La Norla in the afternoon. 300 shares selling at 1 and 1. A small bundle oi irniiaueipnia uu utuuubof. Buyers and sellers, for the most part, were too far apart to reach the sticklngpoint. There were no particular changes in quotations, bnt tho majority were declines for fractional amounts. Bids, offers and sales follow: vobxixg. ATTxmrooir. ' Bid. Asked. Hid. Asked. Pitts, ret. S.AM.

QUIET AND JIAST. Me Change In tbe Conditions oi tbe Local Money Market. Tbe local money market was quiet and easy yesterday. The conditions were unchanged. A few borrowers were accommodated at the regular rates, 6fl per cent, according to tbe 'collateral. Only gilt-edged paper was taken at tbe former rate.' Depositing made a very good showing. Checking was fair, but not large. Exchange and currency were close together. Small notes were In ample supply. The feeling was bounding and hopeful. A good seasonable business was reflected in the Clearing House report,the exchanges being 41,738,923 92 and the balances S38L179 OS. ...... In an article on "The.Lowerlng of the Inter est Kate," the Iron Age says: "The rapid accumulation of wealth in this country is having far-reaching Influences and lies at the bottom of much of the dissatisfaction which business men express when the question of profits comes up. Beginning with the safest securities, like Government bonds and some municipal obligations. Interest has been scaled down until the very best do not net much more' than 2 per cent. The same has been going on in railroad securities. J'oor'i Manual tersely puts the matter in the following shape: 'But tbe days of large profits appear to have passed. A railroad which in the f utnre can pay regular dividends of 6 per cent per annum will be re garded In much the same light as those which formerly paid 9 and 10 per cent for years with out Intermission.' "These facts are thoroughly appreciated generally, but their consequences in other di rections do not appear to be well understood. Putting It bluntly, the lowering of tho Interest rate, permanent as It seems to be. Involves a sharp lowering of profits to manufacturers and merchants. If in any branch the returns are nop as great as ten years ago would have been thought reasonable, or even if that impression gets abroad, there is a rush Into the business, which drags profits down, sometimes consider ably below tbe normal level. Probably every business man can recall instances within his observation, if, indeed, he has .not bad them comt within his own experience."

The trend of tbe petroleum market was down ward yesterday, caused, probably, by bearish news from Butler county and the financial flur ry In New York, but there was no excitement and very little trading, frothing was done in cash oil, but it was nonllnally jc lower than September. The market closed with a weak undertone at tbe lowest figure of the day. A broker said: "X am (fearful we soon will bf in the sonp again. TIpre is nothing outside or conditions to hold tbe market up. If the short interest were 150 would be 2 or 3 cent) scarce and precarious f oi per cent larger, oil nigner, out it is too that sort of deallncr. 1 can see no prospect oi an immediate change to amount to anything, floe way or the other.

IINew Yobe, August 23. There was a cessa tion In tbe excitement In the stock market to-day, and the trading was again dull and tbe fluctuations small and generally Insignificant, though tbe tone of the dealings was feverish and unsettled throughout tbe day. The action of Judge Cooley became known this morning, and was accepted as an explanation of the heavy sales of yesterday, and though the traders were still bearishly inclined and en deavored to push theadvantagealreadygalned, they met with little encouragement from out side sources, while some buying orders from the foreigners dampened their ardor In the early dealings. The money question had little, if any, weight to-day, though tho rates on call were held at from 5 to e per cent throughout. There was, however, no stringency, and all were easily accommodated. The news of the cut by the Chicago, St Panl and Kansas City road was tbe occasion of an other attack upon the Grangers in tho after noon, but this was followea by tbe announce ment that Jndge Cooley was In conference with the officials of that road and the Chicago, Bur lington and Northern, which arrested tbe de cline, and prices then gravitated upward again. The opening of the market was made at slight ly lower figures than last evening as a rule, and there was some selling for a decline on the part of tho room traders, but foreign buying orders were encountered, and considerable taking of profits by the sellers of yesterday helped to check tho downward tendency, except In Cleve land, Colnmbus, Cincinnati and St. Louis pre ferred, which scored a drop of 1 per cent in tbe first hour. The market became dull but remained 'fe verish and unsettled with a general upward tendency until the afternoon drive at the Grangers, when the rest of the list sympathized to a limited extent. St. Paul and Missouri Pacific were the chief sufferers until the Lack awanna made a sudden drop of per cent to 14t. This decline, however, was checked be fore delivery hour and tbe entire list rallied, while the trading was marked by a sudden rise of 4 per cent in Pullman to 18a The market de veloped no further features and finally closed dull and steady. The only marked difference from last night's figures among the active list was a decline of lin Chicago and East Illinois at 43, the others being for small fractions only and about equally divided between gains and losses. The railroad bond market again dropped back into the most extreme dullness, the sales of all Issues aggregating only $624,000. The market was generally steady, but a few im portant changes were recorded. Pacific 4's lost 2. at 72; Northwestern consols 2. at 147, and Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe os 2, at 65.

Mr. W. Mandel, of Galveston, Tex., who was recently sent to New York City to secure capi tal for tbe development of oil territory, thus talks of oleaginous prospects In the Lone Star State: "Op to the present time oil has been found in various sections of East and West Texas. Geologists are of the belief that the oil fields found In Western Texas are a con tinuation of tbe wells which abound in old Mexico, and which have been pronounced by the highest authorities (to be of superior illuminating quality. In the Western Texas fields the oil is not f onnd in pockets, but rises up to tbe surface continually, and the presence of gas Is also frequently manifested. Numerous organizations have already been formed with a view of opening the Texas oil fields. Including the Petroleum Prospecting Company, of New Orleans, tbe New Orleans Lubricating Com- Sany and tbe Pearce Petroleum Company, in asper county. "Owing to the long distance from the Penn sylvania and Colorado fields, Texan operators are encouraged with the hope that their 8tate will eventually be in a position to produce oil in large quantities, both for refining and lubri cating purposes. The Crystal Ice Works, of San Antonio, recently struck a gas well while boring for water, and at Piedras Pintas Bancb, in Duval county, oil has been found in paying 3uantities. In McClelland county oil has been iscovered while boring for stock water at a depth of 240 feet. The developments In Texas thus far have been frequent and at compara tively slight depths. Oil has been f onnd In one section of Eastern Texas at a depth of only 100 feet, from which 160 barrels per day have been taken. In Western Texas generally the fluid Is found at much greater depth."

Little Maggie Hayden, only 5 years old, wbo lives on Webster avenne, corner Klrkpatrlclc street, became so badly affected with catarrh as to greatly alarm her parents and friends. She had a stuffed np condition In her bead and throat so tbat at times it was difficult for her to breathe She was restless nights, and tbe dry, rasping cough was very severe. She had a hollow look in her eyes and emaciated appear ance, and she seemed to have a cold all the time Her parents took her to the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, at 323 Penn avenue, and after consulting with Mrs. Dr. Crossley and her associate physicians, she began treatment and became entirely cured in two months. Her father says: My daughter has been cured by the physi cians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute. I hereby sign my name, -ROLLINS D. HAYDEN." Catarrh is a disease that aff ecu children as weU as adults, and often at a very early age. It Is the direct cause of most of the consump tion of this climate, and not Infrequently tbe disease develops Into consumption with chil dren under 10 years of age. The four physi cians associated with tbe 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 why dally assemble in their parlors bear proof to their success in maklngxures. Remember the place. 323 Penn avenue. Consultation free to alL Office hours. 10 A. Sf to4 P.
