Fbiday. August so. 1SS3. J
In general produce lines the week's trade
his been rather quiet. Stuff of all kinds is
plenty, and the market basket should now be
filled at rates as reasonable as any time this
season.
Teaches and Jersey sweet potatoes are in
liberal supply, and markets show a downward
drift Choice country butter is moving up
ward. Good eggs hare advanced zc per dozen
hi the past week, and are very firm at the
advance A reliable article of hen fruit does
not need to go begging at 18c in job lots.
Poultry is unusually scarce scarcer than lor
many years. A Clinton peddler reports that he
could not get one half enough poultry to meet
the demands of bis trade.
The. watermelon and cantaloup supply is
scarcely up to demand for a few days past.
The supply of fish has not been adequate to
demand for a week or two past. Dealers report
that tbey could hare easily sold doable the
amount of white flsa and salmon they were
able to secure the past week. At sources of
supply prices have advanced, and also in the
West, but Pittsburg, true to its conservative
instincts, holds to the old rates. About the
time the advance has spent its force dealers
here will raise prices, but so far they have
failed to reap the harvest dealers at other
centers of trade are now rearing. The fish
trade was never better at -this season of the
year. The oyster season will open next week.
Maryland and Virginia laws prevent the gather
log of oysters from the 1st of May to the 1st of
September. ,
In game lines, prairie chickens and reed birds
are about the only article on the market so tar.
Diamond market butchers report a slight im
provement in traae this week over last. Price
of tenderloins and rib roasts change not
though beeves are not less than 2o per pound
lower than they were one year. ago. Hides,
tallow and rough meat are lower, but choice
cuts stand unchanged. If there vas a reasona
ble profit to butchers a year ago, they must be
having a nice thing now.
In floral lines we are having the lull which
precedes the revival of trade. A good sharp
frost wonld be balled as a blessing by dealers
in flowers. In the meantime trade is quiet, and
florists await the better time which is sure to
come ere many days.

All Quiet In the Wheat Pit aid Prices a
'Little Lower Bearish Influences ?oo
Powerful to be Overcome A
Flurry In Mess Pork.
Chicago A small volume of business was
transacted in wheat toUy,and prices averaged
a little lower for all futures. The excitement
In provisions detracted largely from the Inter
est In wheat, and most of the professional
traders in the latter held very pronounced
bearish views. Bearish Influences dominated
the pit in fact, from first to last, and so largely
in excess of the demand were the offerings
that it looked at times as though the market
was going all to pieces. It was chiefly one-man
power that held it, the purchases of December
at TSJic to 75c by a prominent operator aggre
gating a million bushels according to his own
statement '
Uhe weather and public cables again worked
together in favor of lower prices. Liverpool
noted a decline of Id in spot wheat and Jd in
futures, with the market dull Flour was also
reported 6d lower, and London cables were of
similar Import Paris alone showed improve

here was less active and averaged 4?c lower

futures were squarely on the bottom, ""ed
on Yesterday's closings there was a net loss or
J?ic on deliveries beyond August
A good speculative and a fair shipping busi
ness was transacted in corn. The feeling de
veloped was but a qontinuation of that which
has existed the past few cUys, and the transac
tions were at still lower prices. The exceptional
ly fine weather and the continued liberal
receipts are the chief "bearish" influences
which affect the market The market opened
HXo lower than yesterday's closing prices,
eased off Jc, ruled steadier and closed &c
lower than yesterday.
Oats were moderately active and weaker.
There was good unloading by the longs, and
especially for August and September delivery,
which declined c The more deferred futures,
while weak, were only yi&ie lower In sym
pathy with the others.
Unusual heavy trading was reported in mess
pork. Prices ruled very irregular, fluctuated
widely and advanced fully SI 05 on the whole
range. Outside figures were not fully sup
ported, however, and prices settled back 40
50c and closed tatber tame.
Trading was quite brisk in the market for
short rib sides. Prices were advanced 15

A Ninety-Thousand-Dollar Dicker in
East End Eeal Estate.
TWO BUSINESS MEN THE BUYERS.
Out English Cousins' Throw Cold Water on
the Tin Plate Project.
A BUFFALO MA5 EEP1NE8 OHIO OIL
As everybody- who reads the city papers
knows, or ought to know, for the fact has
been dinned into their ears often enough,
many of the most important transactions in
real estate never come to the surface. By
the merest accident a deal of this kind was
discovered yesterday. A few days ago a
tract of about 35 acres of farm land, situated
not far from Dallas avenne and Shady
Lane, Twenty-second ward, was sold to two
prominent business men, one of whom is a
Smithfield street clothier, for a price ap
proximating $90,000. It is understood the
old farm buildings will be torn down and
the property opened up and pat on the mar
ket Although the land lies well and is
well adapted to residence purposes, the
price is considered pretty steep. Still, the pur
chasers figure on a handsome profit
Extract from a London letter In the iron
Age; "The proposal to establish an experi
mental tin plate plant at Pittsburg has pro
voked a good deal of comment In the technical
press over here. While some journals are
tenderly solid tons or the interests of the Amer
ican tin plate consumer, and others wax wroth
at the attempt to dispossess the British manu
facturer of a market not one seems to dcubt
the actual possibility of establishing tin plate
production In the States. To-day's Ironmonger
observes: Nevertheless, we see no reason why
the manufacturers of tin plate In this country
need grow disheartened or despondent They
have the advantage of possession, position for
shipment trained labor, and all materials on
the spot These are very Important points, but
in addition, the Welsh makers have strong al
lies in the United States, and If the alliance is
pnade the most of. we should have very consid
erable doubts of the success of any application
to Congress to Increase the present duties. But
to insure that result the Welsh makers and
their business connections must not only watch
but work, and work hard, to checkmate the
advances of the American ultra-protectionists."
Robert Latimer, the Liberty street tea mer
chant, has complied the following statistics:
The amount of tea consumed in the United
States annually is 90,000,000 pounds, or about
IK pounds to each person. The consumption
in the United Kingdom Is 5f pounds per cap
ita. Vv bile our English cousins distance us In
tea drinking, we are far ahead of them in the
quantity of coffee consumed, our record being
six pounds per inhabitant to IX in England.
Mr. Latimer says trade is good, but that the
quality of the teas coming In is below the aver
age. A gentleman writing to the Cincinnati Timet
Star in regard to refining Ohio oil, says that
"in 1887 Mr. George Van Vleck, of Buffalo, N.
Y. (a large producer of petroleum in Pennsyl
vania), put up in that city a complete minia
ture refinery for the purpose of experimenting
with Lima oil. After many months of hard
work he succeeded In extracting all the sul
phur, and produced a perfect illuminating oil,
free from any disagreeable odor or clouding the
chimneys of the lamps when burning. This
process the gentleman had patented. When
making these experiments Mr. Van Vleck also
began securing leases in the Ohio fields, and
after having secured all the oil territory
needed, organized the Paragon Refining Com
pany, locating the same at Toledo on account
of Its proximity to the oil fields. The capacity
of the refinery Is 600 barrels per day, and the
owners are making arrangements to doable

Pennsylvania experts who have been up the
Rocky Fork, Mont, say that 500 men, working
ten hours a day, could not exhaust the coal
deposit in sight there in 1.100 years. This Is
one of Montana's new things. Every evening
a long train of heavily loaded coal cars is
pulled into Billings and weighed. The road,
extending 65 miles southwest to Bed Lodge, is
only just In operation. The coal bears a close
resemblance to the Illinois product Mining it
is like running a train alongside of a mountain
and loading everything In sight There are
some veins over 20 feet thick. Coal Is put on
the cars at a cost of SI GO a ton.
The demand for mortgages is meeting with a
goodly number of favorable responses, which
will no doubt be augmented upon the return
from their vacations of many local capitalists.
Tbirty-two of these prime collaterals for money
were recorded yesterday, the largesLbeing for
S5.500, and ranging from that down to $200. As
usual, the majority of them were for purchase
money.
A new roofing material is mentioned in the
German papers. In the shape of a sort of
metallic slate, somewhat similar to those used
among us, but enameled so as to be proof
against moisture or acid vapors. Metallic
slates of tin and galvanized Iron have long
been used In Germany, and galvanizing has
been pronounced by the highest scientific
authority there to be the best protection
against rust that has yet been applied to Iron,
but it is acknowledged that the bending neces
sary to form the locking joints of the metallic
tiles is apt to throw off the protecting cover
ing, leaving the Iron exposed to corrosion. In
order to provide against the bad effects of this,
the new plates are made of sheet iron, stamped
Into shape in the usual manner, and are then
dipped into enamel paint which, when heated,
forms a continuous coating, unaffected by
acids or alkalies. It Is too soon to say how
long a roof laid with such a material will last
but it promises to be of considerable value.
A convention of merchants was held In Ham
ilton, Canada, a few days ago, at which resolu
tions were passed condemning the system of
easy credits. Facilities extended by the
banks are supposed to foster reckless trading.
Furthermore, the system of selling through
travelers is charged with much of the responsi
bility for the inordinate competition prevalent
In former times, when the bulk of the buying
was done by retailers in the wholesale ware
house, greater prudence and caution were ex
ercised in assuming liabilities, and less pres
sure to purchase was put upon the customer,
while now the traveler in his anxiety to book
an order never wearies of commending his
wares ami persuading the retailer to lay in a
large stock, offering as inducements long cred
its and low prices. One cut in price is followed
by another until goods are actually sold below
cost in order to retain the customer.
TWO WEAK CALLS.
Captain Borbenr's Voice Not Load Enough
to Excite the Brokers.
Viewed from any standpoint the stock mar
ket yesterday was as uninteresting as a defea
ed party's headquarters after election. The
business of both calls consisted of two sales, 10
shares of People's Pipeage and 100 of La
Norla, neither showing any change. Bea
Brothers Co. took the latter. In the fore
noon about 300 shares of it were wanted at 1&
Bidding was good enough to have made
things lively, but as the orders were below the
market the outcome was tame. Compared
with Thursday's figures there were no material
changes in the quotations. Bids, offers and
sales were:

A WILD GOOSE CHASE.
An Attempt to Find Homethlns; New Meets
With Disappointment.
A persistent attempt yesterday to find some
thing new In the local banking business was
unsuccessful. The general response to in
quiries was: "We have more money than we
want but hope to find use for It before long."
A cashier remarked: "I don't believe there is a
bank in Pittsburg that is even approximately
loaned up. Allot them have oceans of Idle
money," Routine business was of the usual
character, but two or three banks reported a
slight improvement in the borrowing demand.
The exchanges were 41,944,142 and the bal
ances 5)62.01911.
In November last the unconverted S per cent
British consols outstanding amounted to a little
over 42K millions sterling, but since then there
have been redeemed or converted SO millions,
leaving unconverted 12V millions sterling. The
holders of these have been credited with cash
which they may claim atuiy time before the
1st of October next after which they will be
given in exchange an equal amount of 2 per
cent stock. Thus is their conversion enforced,
and British consols now bear only 2 per cent
Interest '
Money on call at New Tork yesterday was easy
at 23 per cent, last loans 2, closed offered at

exchange quiet but steady at S4 83 for 60-day

Bearish Influences Make a Pall, ud Weak
Oil Market.
The ell market yesterday was 'dull and feat
ureless, with a weak undertone throughout
The latter condition resulted from selling in
New York and Oil City, another drop in re
fined, and Indisposition to do.Jmuch so near the
end of the month. Toward the close New
York reversed its tactics and pnlled the price
up a fraction. The fluctuations were: Open
ing, 6S; highest 9S); lowest 97; closing,
97. As on the previous day, Pittsburg was a
small seller, but trading was very light Dollar
oil is seldom mentlpned. The last time that
figure was reached was on the 17th. The low
est point in the same time was 96K.
Intelligence has been received from Baku to
the effect that a permanent decrease is show
ing itself in the production of naphtha in that
region, and that there is a probability of a very
serious crisis shortly coming on. The naphtha
basins of the Apsheron Peninsula andBiblcl
batareno doubt still very productive, but the
yield Is no longer to be relied on. Almost all
the factories at Baku, including M. Nobel's,
are suffering for want of the raw product the
frico of which has risen from 1 to 2 kopecks to
or 6 per pound. Many new borings have been
made, but the results by no means realize the
hopes or expectations of the speculators.
Messrs. Rothschild's representative, the man

BEST OF THE WEEK.
Railroad Shares In Good Demand The
Northern Paclfle Deal Still a Factor
More Life In the Trusts
Nearly Everything
Closes Higher.
New York, August SO. The stoek market
to-dy was more active than on any day of this
week, ana the business was more evenly dis
tributed; though the same stocks led In the
dealings and monopolized the interest in the
trading. The Northern Pacific deal was still
the great sub ject of conversation this moraine,
but the buying seemed to have been trans
ferred from the preferred to the common
stock, and the former failed to score any ad
vance as the result of the day's operations.
The Grangers took a more prominent place in
the market, ana were helped by a number of
circumstances, St Paul being strong on rumors
ot a meeting called to act upon the question of
a dividend upon the preferred stook. and
Northwestern advanced materially with the
help ot large buying orders from Chicago, said
to be induced by information of new steps
taken looking to the removal of the Chicago,
Burlington and Northern as a disturbing factor
in the Northwest
The report that the percentage of operating
expenses on the Burlington and Quincy had
been reduced to 55 per cent was the principal
favorable influence in that stock, and Rock
Island moved up on large gains In the earnings
for August Reading became very prominent
agalnin the afternoon, and on rumors that in
siders had stated that the earnings would show
np more favorably from this time, and buying
in the stock was largely by parties who have
for a long time held aloof from the stock. The
trusts also showed more life later in the day,
both lead and cotton oil advancing fraction
ally. There was some foreign buying, but it
was not of special Importance at any time of
the day, and the demand for stocks was met by
free realizations throughout fhe day. The bulls
were very aggressive, however, and no weak
ness was shown at any period except just at the
close.
The opening was somewhat irregular, but
generally higher, and with Northern Pacific
and Atchison in the lead material improve
ment was made in the first hour. The ad
vance, however, continued until near 1 v. li
the Grangers, Louisville and Reading and
trusts being specially prominent The market
then became less active, and prices fluctuated
back and forth over a narrow range until the
last hour, when the realizations began to tell
upon quotations and small fractional losses
were sustained. The close was dull and rather
heavy, but at material advances over last
night's figures. Almost the entire active list
is higher to-night Louisville and Nashville is
up 1. St Paul IK, Atchison. Northwestern
and Oregon Navigation I per cent each and the
others fractional amounts.
The railroad bond market was also more ac
tive to-day. and the sales of all Issues aggre
gated SL490.O0Q. while the Rock Island 5s still
kept the lead. Outside of this, however, there
was the same quiet business, with little or no
feature of Interest, the tone of the dealings be
ing generally steady and the Important final
changes few in number. Erie funded gold 7s

kets. Dairy products are steady at old rates.
In general produce lines there are no changes
worthy of note. Stuff is plenty and markets
in general are in buyers' favor. The week's
trade has been uncomfortably quiet, from
dealers' standpoint Peaches have been in sup
ply beyond demand all the week. A scarcity is
looked for by dealers later on, as lata peaches
do not promise as well as the early crop. If
our home markets were dependant on home
crop of peaches and plums, we would have a,
famine this fall. Thanks to rapid transit and
close communication with more favored sec
tions, an abundance of fruits is assured. Ap
ples are quiet, owing to liberal supplies of
other fruits. Watermelons are scarce and
firm. Jersey sweet potatoes are coming in
freely and the drift of prices is downward.
