Office of Pittsbubg Dispatch, 1
Tuesday, September 10, 1SS9.
A decided change has come over the busi
ness barometer, and for the better, in the
past ten days. In every line there is an im
proved tone, and it is evident that the worst
is past. Among our merchants there is gen
eral hopefulness and good cheer, and if tee
do not have an extra fall trade, there will
be general disappointment in business cir
cles. Even cereals, which in this region are
more abundant than they have been for
many years, begin to feel the effect of the
improved tone to markets. There never was
a better crop of wheat, oats and hay through
out the territory of which Pittsburg is the
center, and for the past month markets in
cereal lines nave dragged, with a general down
ward drift. Tnis downward tendency has at
last been arrested, and markets show a healthier
tone for tbe past week. It will be seen, by
reference to our domestic market column, that
oats, bay and mill feed bave taken an upward
tnrn within a few days.
Roots nnd Shoes.
A leading jobber in tbis line thus puts tbe
past,prescnt and future of the trade: "Our sum
mer trade in volume was larger than ever be
fore. We sold more goods in the months of Jaly
and August this ear thait we did in tbe same
months of last year. We have not sent out as
many salesmen, having concluded to let the
Southern and far Western trade go. but not
withstanding this our aggregate sales since tbe
1st of January last have been larger than for
tbe corresponding period of last year.
To be sure, margins of profit have
been closer than ever before; but
there is ol late a tendency toward
better prices.. Leather is looking up and shoes
ar following close. There is now very little
city demand lor boots. Concress and lace
iinA. .. ,tin nnri b::ttnn and lace shoes for
ladles and children are all the go of late. ery
few calf boots aie sold as compaied with a
lew years ago. Heavy upper and kip boots for
country trade are the principle article in tbis
line we handle these dajs. The city gentle
man who now wears a calfskin boot is an ex
ception: whereas, a score of years ago, he was
the rule. Boots now are onlv used to any con
siderable extent by tbe country people, who
must needs tramp into swamps, and through
briar patches.
"Tbe rubber trade is better than a year ago
at this time. Rubber boots are moving out
freely. The Candce Rubber Company, of New
Haven, whose goods have been ou the market
for 40 cars or wore, have recently notified us
that thev find a difficulty meeting orders, and
that their supply of rubber boots is exhausted.
If the coming winter makes an early start,
manutacturers of rubber goods will have all
they cau do to meet demands. You may say
for our firm that we bave seen no time when
the fall outlook for the boot and shoe trade was
better than it is right now."
Cnrriaee Unrdware.
There are four firms in this city engaged ex
clusively in handling this line of goods. A
representative of one of these houses, in an in
terview to-day, said: "Our August trade was
larger than any previous month. We were
most agreeably surprised in posting up our
books for that month to find that our volume of
trade was 35 per cent better than for the previ
ous August. September, so far, shows no
signs of a falling off in business. We turned
out m ire good- j esterday than w e ever did be
fore in one day.
"Jobbing trade in winter goods, such as
blankets and robes, is now at its best. Saddlery
and carriage goods hold up unusually well.
The fall outlook for trade was never better.
"Collections, which were slow a few weeks
ago, bave greatly improi ed since the beginning
of the month, especially in rural districts;
the abundant crops are being turned into money
oy the farmer, and we already feel the good
effects.
"Besides the Exposition has been a help to our
trade, and will be a greater help further on.
Our mails show that customers are coming,
ard all signs point to tbe largest fall trade we
bave ever had. The little money our firm put
iuto life membership in the Exposition Society
uasaircaay come uacK in increased volume ol
trade, and we will get our own' back manv
times over for that in estment."

Chicago. Prices were advanced in the
wheat market to-day in tbe face of
sick cables, public and private. The initial
strength and He higher on opening was duo to
the execrable grading of the receipts and the
small -percentage of No. 2 in elevator stocKs

a year a,jo. when Hutchinson began his corner,
and that operator is now, on the authority of a
morning paper, between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000
bushels long of the market.
The feeling gradually worked firmer until a
gain of Jlcover yesterday's closings was
established, but a slight reaction just at the
finish left the net gain for the day c. Be
tween 12 and 1 o'clock the market was bullish
on rumors that the Government crop report,
dne this afternoon, would show three points
reduction in the average condition of spring
wheat. The trading to-day was mainly in De
cember and May.
A moderate business was transacted in corn,
and the market was somewhat firmer. It
opened 0 above the closing prices of yester
day and under liberal purchases by one or two
large houses advanced J5c Offerings then
became larger, the local crowd selling freely,
and the market reacted JiSJe'c, rallied when
the estimates for to-morrow came in, and closed
Hiic better than yestefday.
A stronger leellng developed In oats, and
prices advanced Jfi Jc Trading was more an
imated, but centered chiefly in May, which was
purchased quite freely by several heavy opera
tors. Tho nearby deliveries were not ottered
with any degree of freedom, and prices appre
ciated slightly.
Rather more business was transacted in pork,
and tbe feeling was somewhat unsettled. Prices
ruled 7075c lower early, but rallied to medium
figures, closing quiet. On the other band, Jau
uarv showed more steadiness, ruling at abont
esterday's figures.
An easier feeling prevailed in lard, and trad
ing was onlv moderate. Prices ruled 2K5c
lower, and tbe market closed quiet at meuium
figures.
Short ribs were quiet and the feeling easy.
Prices ruled lower for the near, but steady for
the deferred deliveries.

A CUB'S EAES CUFFED.
A Fourth avenue real estate dealer re
marked yesterday evening: "Business is
in good condition, and gives promise of
great activity during the fall and winter.
Values are very firm, with advances in some
cases, but I do not think they will go much
higher. On the other hand, they will not
decline. I think this is a good time to buy.
There is considerable cheap property on the
market which will soon he picked up. I
am negotiating several important deals, in
cluding two or three business sites, which I
expect to close up in a few days."
More wool was sold last week in the seaboard
markets than for some time past, and prices
were fully sustained on the basis of the re
duced quotations. The outlook for woolen
goods is somewhat better, contracts being se
cured readily, and the manufacturers, to that
extent, are more willing buyers of material.
The margin, however, between tbe current
cost of wool and the returns for goods is too
narrow to afford much satisfaction. The
strength of the market is due principally to
the fact that high prices were paid by the
dealers for the staple which they bave in store,
and nothing short of absolute financial neces
sity will induce them to make further con
cessions. The prevailing opinion accordingly
points to a steady trade on about the present
level of values.
The $400,000 deal for manufacturing property,
though still worked for a mystery, is making
progress. About $50,000 has been paid S20.000
yesterday on tbe purchase, and tbe remaining
payments will be made before long. Tbe gen
tleman managing tbe transaction still refuses to
give the details, on the ground that the princi
pals object to the notoriety that publication
would give them. Asked yesterday to locate the
property, he replied: "I am not at liberty to do
so, but I will say this: I could send a ball from a
five-pounder to It from Fourth avenue."
Labor organizations are moving to have Labor
Day made a national holiday. The holiday this
year was very widely observed in many States,
and this observance has acted as an impetus to
the movement for a still more pronounced rec
ognition of the day next year.
The Western mortgage business is being
pushed for all there is in it and perhaps con
siderably more The Honker's Monthly gives
the farm mortgage indebtedness in Kansas as
$235,000,000: Indiana, $035,000,000; Iowa, $567,000,
000; Michigan. $500,000,000; Wisconsin, $357,000,
000, and Ohio, $1,237,000,000.
With the return of investors from their vaca
tions, the business in mortgages improves.
Thirty-nine were recorded yesterday, the two
largest being for $35,000 each. Some of them
were for very small amounts, two being for $50.
two for $75, and one for$S0. There is still
plenty of money seeking this investment, but
rates show a hardening tendency.
The Wall Street Kews thinks Vice-President
McCrea, of the Pennsylvania Company, is a
lucky man, and adds: "In the natural order of
things having reached the Fourth Vice-Presidency
of the Pennsylvania Company, bis pro
motion would have been slow, but John D. Mc
Cullongb, the First Vice-President, is now an
old man, and was many years in getting to that
position. Now William Thaw, the Second
Vice-President, is dead, and Mr. Messier, Third
Vice-President, is ill. Thus the way is paved
for Mr. McCrea to go right to the head of the
company when he is barely 40 years of age. It Is
fortunate for the company, under tbe circum
stances, that the promotion is merited."
Current railway earnings continue to reflect
the growing prosperity of the companies. As
compared with last year the gross earnings of
41 lines for the fourth week in August in
creased 12.91 per cent, and for the month of
August 52 lines increased 9.89 percent, it bile
for the third week in August 87 lines increased
gross 11.66 percent This is certainly a good
exhibit and accounts for the bullish feeling in
Wall street, concerning which Jay Oould said
on Monday: "Each day conditions improve.
The market appears to be in first class trim.
There is no doubt about its going higher."

Owing to the failure of the Baku oil wells
and agricultural depression, the Russian
nobles are rushing to bankruptcy in great num
bers. The credit bank for lending money to
them on mortgage of their land, established by
the Government two or three years ago, has
now no less than 2,000 estates which will have
to be sold by public auction at the end of this
year for the non-payment of interest on loans.
unchanged. Small notes were scarce. The
clearings were 81,568.210 54 and the balances
$335,557 72.
According to BradttreeVt In only five in
stances are decreases in bank clearings reported
for the month of August, and they, with but
one exception, are small, the decreased totals
for the month, amounting in each instance to
less than $5,000,000. The only important In
stance where a decline Is shown Is San Fran
cisco, amounting to L3 per cent. The other
Aufcnstdecl'nes are at Lowell, Grand Rapids,
Topeka, Norfolk and Los Angeles. Denver,
Fort Worth and Dallas show tho largest pro
portionate gains.
The August total at Denver is 64 per cent
larger than tbe corresponding total in 18S8,
and twice as large as the like total two years
ago, and nearly three times as large as the ag
gregate for 1886. Fort Worth and Dallas report
clearings for August about as large again as
in August 18S8. Among the other cities ap
pearing to do remarkably well may be men
tioned Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
Louisville, Chicago. St. Louis and Milwaukee.

BULLISH REP0ETS
Pat Oil Up, nnd Realizing Pnt it Down
Brokers Surprised.
Tbe pipe line report posted at the Oil Ex
change yesterday was very bullish, as had been
anticipated. It showed a decrease in round
numbers of 800,000 in stocks and 1,200,000 in cer
tificates. That such statistics should cause an
advance was quite natural, but that a slump of
y& should immediately follow was unex
pected and surprisln g. Tbe market was strong
and higher in the forenoon and weak and lower
in the afternoon.
Based on tbe bullish report, the first quota
tion was 100. Buying here and in the East
soon put the price up to 100 the best of tbe
day. In the atternoon the longs thought it was
a good time to realize, and sold the market
down to 99, tbe lowest and closing figure. The
weakness seemed to come mainly from New
York, though it was helped along by sellng
here and in Oil City.
A broker remarked: "The slump was a str
prise. Nobody dreamed of the market selling
down under the bullish conditions shown n
the pipe line report. To-day's.operations con
firm my belief that there is a power behind tie

when there should be advances, and vice versi,
are proof of it. This leaves ,ug nothing uptn

to what to look forward to to-morrow." i
standing that tbe general feeling still remains,
bullish, became most marked, and many of tbe
traders shifted over to the bear side early in
the day. London to-day seems to bave caught
up u tnis center in tne matter ol strength, ana
the prices from that place were higher for the
first time in many days, but the Influences
above mentioned caused an irregular but gen
erally weak opening here, and among tbe active
stocks tbe declines from last night's prices
eacnea yA per cent, wnue Tennessee coat was
down 1 per cent. London bad large buying or
ders in Reading, and its securities, as well as in
trie and some other of its favorites, but the
pressure to sell in tbe rest of the list soon re
moved what little strength was shown in them.
The support accorded Reading by tbe for
eigners, however, served to Keep It firm in the
face of tho weakness of the other coalers,
though the decline in Jersey Central .seemed
to be on sufferance only. Louisville and Nash
ville and Manitoba were the most prominent
weak spots in the early trading, and each lost 1
percent. A somewhat better tone was devel
oped toward noon, but except in Northern.
Pacific preferred and Reading the movement
attracted little notice. In the afternoon a
steady, though slow, decline took place, the
only notable exception being Lake Erie and
Western preferred, which suddenly rose to
5. There was some realizing of profits upon
the day's aecllno in the last half hour, and tbe
Closing flo-tirM wArAfL ftharia hpttpr than thft
lowest, the market being about steady at tbe
improvement
Lake Erie and Western preferred shows a
gain of 1 per cent, but beside this the final ad
vances are few in nnmber and unimportant.
Railroad bonds were again moderately active,
the business of the day extending to $1,610,000,
of which Reading firsts contributed $519.000 and
the seconds $156,000. The market displayed
none of yesterday's strength, but sagged with
tbe share list throughout.

A Bear That Wns Determined to maintain
Family Discipline.
A traveler who was crossing the Eocky
Mountains overheard a teamster tell the
story of a mother bear and her cub, giving
what he called a good example of human
mothers in family government. The team
ster was going up the mountain lor pine
logs, driving a wagon. On the top of a large
rock by the side of the road was a young
bear. The mother had started up the mount
ain as the team aDDroached.
"The cub looked so cute," said the team
ster, "lying there with its paws dropping
over th'e edge of the rock, watching the
horses as they came up. Presently tbe old
bear fame bounding back to the cub, and,
giving it a cudge with her nose, started up
the mountain again, expecting the 'young
one' to follow.
"But the cub made no move. The old
bear then came back the second time. and.
taking up the cub in her arms, gave him
several cufis.
"This time the cub obeyed orders and fal
lowed the old bear in a gallop up the side of
the mountain.
"He knew, that cub did, that he'd better
mind, for that old bear wouldn't stan any
more foolin'."

Country Produce Jobblns Prices.
Butter and eggs are higher and firm. Cheese
is steady. Potatoes are In light supply and prices
are a shade better. The shortage, however, is
only temporary. The crop of Western Penn
sylvania and Eastern Ohio was never better,
and an abundance will be in the market befora
many days. Sweet potatoes are plenty and
slow. The quality of grapes coming to market
of late is none the best. Choice peaches are in
light supply and find ready sale at outside
quotations. An inspection of the books of cue
of our leading jobbers of butter and eggs dis
closes the fact that his creamery butter Is 3c
lower than at this date a year ago. The grades
that are selling to-day at 21c were 24c this time
last year. Eggs are lc higher than this time

BEN AND THE BAGGAGE MASTEE.
A Boy Preferred tbe Latter to the President,
to Bide With.
Krom the Philadelphia InqulrerJ
A good story is being told of President
Harrison, which illustrates how the head of
the nation can adapt himself to all circum
stances in which he may be placed. "When
the President was returning from his Bar
Harbor visit last month in company with
Private Secretary Halford, their special car
upon reaching Philadelphia was attached to
the 3:58 express for 'Washington over the
Pennsylvania Eallroad. Shortly after the
train had left tbe city, the conductor, who is
one ot the oldest employes of the road and
well known in this city, went into the car
where the President and Mr. Halford were
conversing. The President noticed tbe
Grand Army button on the conductor's coat
and immediately gave the military salnte.
"Mr. President, I have a favor to ask of
yon," said the conductor.
'Well, what is it?" said tbe President,
with tbe old, weary and office-seeker look on
bis face.
"I want yon to let me bring in my little
boy, Harry, who is on the train, and intro
duce him."
The Chief Magistrate's face brightened in
stantly, and he replied: "Bring him in by
all means."
The boy, a bright little fellow of abont 11
years, was brought into the private car and
duly introduced. The President pnt his
arm affectionately abont the boy and, draw
ing him to him, said:
"Now, Harry, you must sit right down,
and ride the rest of the way to "Washington
with me."
Harry didn't exactly know how to receive
this proposition at first, and then, looking
np info the President's face, he said inno
cently, in his childish treble:
"I'd rather ride with the baggage mas
ter." The President and Mr. Halford both
roared, and as the child left the car the
President remarked: "That's the first time
since I've been in office tbat a baggage mas-

tbat a reaction is due, and except for a portion
of tbe first hour and the last 30 minutes, it was
a sagging one throughout. Tbe declines estab

generally for small fractions only. The pressure
was specially severe against the G.angers, the
Chicago people having selling orders in allfof

Information has been received of one of the
fiercest and most destructive forest fires yet
reported in Montana. The fire occurred Sun
day night In tho St. Regis district, Missoula
county, and the Cokeley ranch was made a bar
ren waste in less than 50 minutes. Cokeley and
the hostess of the ranch mounted horses and
barely escaped with their lives to the river, less
than a quarter of a mile away, and reached the
water after having their clothes nearly all
burned from their bodies. They remained in
the water over two hours, and even here the
heat and smoke were almost suffocating. A
Swedish prospector named Anderson tied his
horse in the gulch about halt a mile from the
Cokeley ranch and went up the hillside to his
claim. Both horse and man perlsned in tho
