KOW HE PIJOSPERS IN MINNESOTA. The Crop Situation and Outlook in the Great Xorthwest. THE WEEK'S SIGNAL SERVICE EEfOET Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, 1 Tuesday, Octobers. 1SS9. t Georce Y. McKee, Couuty Commisftoner, - having receutly returned' from a six weeks' tour through Minnesota and "Wisconsin, in an intervicw'said: "A large portion of Min nesota, particularly the southern part, has been subject to drought for three years past, and this season has been the worst in this respect. In addition to drought, chinch bugs hare been a sore pest to Minnesota farmers for a few seasons past. In the farming recion southward lrom St. Paul, to the Lake Pepin region, where a few years ago immense crops of wheat and, barley were raised, the farmers hare only planted small quantities of these staples the past srason or two, owing to disasters lrom drought and chinch bugs. Large in Proportion. "The yield, however, from the small acreage sown has been beyond expectations this season and the quality of grain raised was never bet ter. The failure of old staple crops for a few seasons has forced niauy enterprising farmers to stock raising and the dairy business. The latter business has had a phenomenal develop ment in Minnesota and Wisconsin tne past few years." An illustration of the changes of late years is furnished by Mr. JIcKee's account of a visit to Mack Johnston's larm on Lake Pepin, 60 mile south ot St. Paul: "Mr. Johnston, is a nathe of Jeffreystown, Montour Run, this county, and about the time of the Fremont canipaicn concluded to follow 4 Horace Greelej's advice, 'Go West and grow tin with the conntrv.' On the hieh table lands overlooking Lake Pepin, near Lake City, he planted his stake, and has been growing up with the country there now for an entire gen eration. A Chance of Products. "His broad acres for many years yielded mag nificent crops of wheat and barter, bat ot late years he has found the dairy business more prntitaule. The marsh grass w hick crow s spon taneously on his lands furnishes food sufficient for his Jerseys, and the butter finds ready sale in St. Paul at 25 cents per pound." Mack Johnston learned in boyhood days on Montour Run, the value of deep ploughing, and this knon ledge has been dollars in his pocket during these late seasons of drought through Southern Minnesota. The black, sandy, gravelly soil on the highlands east of Lake Pepin, in the words of Mr.McKee, "when deeply plowed, doesn't dry out in times of drought such as that region has lately passed through, or drown out m wet season0, since that kind of soil naturally drains itself." With his 200 acres of land, his comfortable home, lookinc out on Lake Pepin, a good market for the product of 15 Jersey cows, the old Alle gheny county boy on Lake Pepin Is Better Off Than the Czar of Russia, who must needs steal his sleep surrounded by guards he fears to trust In Central Wisconsin there is the same com plaint of drought as in Southern Minnesota. In the region west of Madison for 50 miles or more crops are generally good, but dairy farm ins has been resorted to of late years on ac count of drought. Mr McKee reports that dunng his visit through that section he discov ered instances where farmers were compelled to drive their live stock five and six miles In order to find water. With our too muchness of rains the past season it seems hard to realize that many sections of ourcountryhave suffered sorely from want of water. Week's Weather Bulletin. A W. Greely, Chief Signal Officer. In his weekly bulletin concerning weather, presents many facts of interest, from which the follow ing is culled: Weather during the past week in corn and wheat regions ol central vallevs, has been favorable for farm work and securing of fall crops. Winter wheat is in good condi tion except in Michigan, where rain is needed. Brought in this region has reduced the yield of corn and potatoes. Through the .Middle and Western States weather for the week past has been favorable lor securing crop&. " "" The first general frost in New England Vas on the 29th ot September. The yield of pota toes in New Jersey is good, except on low ground, where the wet season has been damag ing to crops. s Rains during the early part of the past week were favorable to plowing and seeding in Ore gon. The gist of the weather bulletin from signal service headquarters for the week past is favorable to agriculturists the country over. LIVE STOCK HAKEETS.

Wheat Loses Its Grip and Prices Take a Tumble Tub October Pork Deal Asnin Becomes the Cen ter oflnterest. Chicago. The wheat market was quiet to-day; in fact, a dull feeling prevailed throughout most of the session. Operators still feel disposed to trade cautiously. Traders generally have an aversion to selling; that is, any largo lines, and at the same time there are no lines of lone wheat on sale. On the other hand, operators do not feel inclined to take to the buying side heavily under the existirg cir cumstances. The liberal receipts in the North wist acted as the principal bear feature, though the increase of 248,000 bushels In the quantity of wheat on passage, as reported by Beerbohm, where a decrease had been expected, also had a tendency to create an easier feeling. The market hero held steadily most of the day, with fluctliatinns rnnfineri within Mc range, closing : lower Tor December and c lower for May than yesterday. Very little interest was manifested in corn, which ruled quiet and inactive the greater part of the session. Fluctuations were narrow and of a light local character. The market was devoid of any new features, opened at about yester day's final quotations, sold off c. closing lie below j esterday. Cash property was in very good demand. For oats, market was pervaded by a dull, weak tone in all its branches early, and there was a heavy opening for both cash and futures. A continuation of yesterday's depression was all the more remarkable in view of the fret that receipts were 100 cars less than estimated. Trading was chiefly in Slay, and fluctuations were within an extreme range of JffiKc Just before the close there was some selling for country account. These offers, together with considerable throwing off of long property by local operators, broke May to 22c The slump was attended with considerable excitement. In provision circles the October pork deal again claimed considerable attention. A mo tion for a revival of the injunction dismissed by Judge Shcpard has been made in the Appel late Court. Pending its consideration and final settlement tho clique has decided to adhere to its old policy of refusing new packed pork in settlements of contract. Yesterday afternoon and this morning its representatives rciuseu wrcrai muusaca narrcis wmen were sold "for the account of which it may concern" at a price ranging from 510 40 early down to S10 16. This pork was bought up, only by shorts. Hutchinson, however, accepted a few lots of the "boycotted" article and under protest, claiming that right while the question of the legalit) of the delivery was receiving judicial consideration. A good many shorts now believe that the clique is working tb save time, and by keeping the matter in court to curtail the making of pork. Procrastination is charged to be Its ruling purpose, and that when tho month is far advanced and packers find themselves unable to make tho property to meet their contracts they will be open to a compromise. To-day October pork sold straight at 59 9510 60. It opened at 510 50 and closed at 510 05, a fall of 45c yesterday. In the general trade a strong feeling pre vailed, October lard and short ribs, and No vember lard declined 2Kc, and the January futures 5c all around.

The Jobbing trade in drygoods was scarcely up to expectations, thongh sales stimulated by special offerings, were of fair total. A special cut was made In ilasonville bleached cottons, causing tbtm free distribution. The general inarkbc was un changed, business being moderate for near wants, but very good in specialties for spring. Stocks of staple goods are exceptionally light, and prices are consequently very steady at first hands. THEY ENOW IT ALL. Outside Barbarians Still Whacking Away at Natural Gas. COLD PACTS KNOCK THEM SILLY. The Question of Supply One of the Un fathomable Secrets of Kature. STATISTICS OF ALL THE WOELD'S FAIKS Not long ago a Louisville publication, .moved by envy, no doubt, made the predic tion that the natural gas supply of-Pittsburg would soon give out. Impelled by the same spirit that prompted this utterance,the Jron Trade Beriew, of Cleveland, in its is sue of October 3,says: "It requires no close reading or investigation to convince one that the natural gas industry of Pennsyl vania and Ohio is in a bad way. Its rise was sudden, its profits have been enormous, its effects upon manufactures have been note worthy, and its end seems a matter of the not very distant future." This is important, If true, and coming from a source that is supposed to be entitled to credit for accuracy of statement, it should tfa backed up by fact, or argument, or something to give it weight. But it is not It is merely an assertion of the writer's opinion, backed, presumably, upon other assertions of the same tenor. All of them are as far from the truth as it is possi ble for them to get. There is no evidence of any kind or quality, scientific, theoretical or practical, going to show that the supply of nat ural gas in Western Pennsylvania is giving out, or will give out this year, n6Xt year, or "in the not very distant future." It may give out to morrow, or next week, or next month, or some other time, but nobody is wise enonghto fix the date positively or approximately. The dura tion of the natural gas supply is one of the se crets of nature which are beyond the power of man to penetrate. Men of limited knowledge and vast assurance essay the task for tho sake of notoriety, but the true scientist rarely ven tures an opinion on the subject, and then in such guarded language as to leave the impres sion that he is not altogether certain that he knows what he Is talking about w m The assertions that the natural gas supply of Pittsburg Is "in a bad way," "i3 giving oat," or "will soon give out," are not new. They are venerable chestnuts. They baye been in con stant nse by misinformed or envious people ever since the first well was drilled, and are likely to be rehabilitated yearly, or even with greater frequency, for an indefinite period. Meanwhile the supply is not only maintained, but is increased by tbe development of new territory and tbe bringing in of new wells. So thoroughly are capitalists convinced of the per manency of the supply, that they are investing millions of dollars in extending the operations of established companies or in organizing new ones for the conveyance of gas from the sources of supply to consumers in the city. This one fact outweighs any number of theories, no mat ter by whom put forth. It shows conclusively that moneyed men of Pittsburg take no stock in the cry from abroad that "natural gas is in a bad way." That they have put their money in it is the best evidence in tbe world that they believe the snpply to be permanent That there are occasional shortages no one will attempt to deny. But they possess no more significance than shortages in manufact ured gas or electricity. They are more fre quent at this season of tbe year than any other, and are caused by tbe adjustment of pipe lines to the winter demand, which grows greater every year. One of the local companies will supply between 2,000 and 3,000 more houses this winter than it did last. This requires con siderable pipe-laying and plumbing, and while it is m progress a shortage in some part of the city for a few hours should be cheerfully sub mitted to, and not heralded abroad as evidence that the sunply is giving out. Natural gas has done and is doing, too much for Pittsburg by developing her industries and attracting capital to be treated disdainfully or flippantly. This should be left to outsiders. In view of the probability of another World's Fair in this country, the following statistics are of interest: The London Exhibition of 1851 covered 21 acres, attracted 17,000 exhibitors, cost 51,453,970, was pen for 144 days, received 52,530,500 and admitted 6.039,195 visitors. The Pans Exposition of 1855 covered 24 acres, at tracted 21,779 exhibitors, cost 55,000,000, was open for 200 days, received 5010,495 and admitted 5,160,330 visitors. The London Exposition of 1882 covered 23 acres, attracted 28,653 exhib itors, cost 52,300,000, was opened for 171 days, received 52,042,650 and admitted 6,211,103 visi tors. Tbe Pans Exposition of IS67 covered 37 acres, attracted 50,226 exhibitors, cost 54,000,000, was open for 217 days, received 52,103,675 and admitted 10,000,200. The Vienna Exposition of 1S73 covered 40 acres, attracted 42,584 exhibitors, cost 511,000,000, was open for 186 days, received 51,032,850 and attracted 7,254,687 visitors. The Centennial, at Philadelphia, covered 60 acres, attracted 60,000 exhibitors, -cost 58.000,000, was open for 159 days, received 53,813,720 and ad mitted 9,910,966 visitors. m A New York authority reports tbe condition of the drygoods trade as follows: Cotton goods have sold well at first hands all the year, and theie are no accumulations to vex the produc ers. In consequence of this favorable state of affairs valnes are, of course, well sustained. Orders for brown cotton continue to keep the market well cleared up, and bleached goods are in almost as favorable a situation, while the request for cotton flannels continues excep tionally heavy. Western orders for prints are in the main satisfactory. Prices have been cut to some extent by sharp local competition, but the general market soems not to have been dis turbed. The export request contrasts rather unfavorably with the home demand, but of course more or less business is done in this line from day to day. Most of tbe important wool manufacturers have orders enough on hand to keep them busy for the present, and prices are steady. The corn pack of Maine this year will not be over three-quarters as large as last year, and not over half as large as in 1887. To this a correspondent adds: "Assuming the packs of the less important States to be equal to' the 18S8 pack (but they will fall far below that), there would be a falling oft this year of 1,189,126 cases." A further estimate puts the total pack of the United States last year at 2,302,248 cases, against 3,491,474 m 18S8, 2,311,424 in 1S87 ana 1,704,755 in 1886. Tbe Maine packing in 1ES7 amounted to no less than 750,000 cases. The writer adds that though It is admitted that the quality of the Maine corn last year was very poor, on account of tbe cold and wet season, it is believed that the output the present year will be in every way superior. BEACG UP. Electric Recovering From tbe Blow Dealt by Justice Bradley Electric was a little stronger yesterday, 20 shares selling at 44. There were no transac tions In it in the afternoon, but it was held at 47, with 41 bid. The evident determination of holders not to let it goat a sacrifice has turned tbe tide, and will soon bring about a full reaction, Tbe scare Is over, proof of which is found in the fact that there were more buyers than sellers at tbe advance. Pittsburg Traction brought 47, Central Traction 31, and Switch and Signal 22. Phil adelphia Gas was fractionally stronger, but the others were weak. Bank and insurance shares were strong.

PLENTY OP MONEY, But It Continues to Slick Wonderfully Close to the Banks. There was a fair movement in the local money market yesterday, but no change in con ditions. There was plenty of tbe stuff which borrowers could have bad at 67 per cent, or thereabouts, bnt tbey didn't want much of it atanypricv The fact Is, Pittsburg manufac turers and merchants have been doing such a rushing business lately, largely for cash, that they have about all the money they need with out appljing to the banks for it. Still, consid erable money is being loaned, one way and another, a good deal ot it for investment in real estate and mortgages. The exchanges were heavy, being 52,464,963 87 and the balances 5394,228 47. John M. Oakley 4 Co.'s New York corre spondent wired yesterday evening: The money market to-day was relatively easy, as loans were almost universally made at 6 per cent, and brokers with proper collateral bad: no diffi culty securing all the money (hey needed at that rate Time loans on stocks are difficult to make, except for six months, for which period some loans are made at 6 per cent Money on call at New York yesterday was easier, ranging from 4 to 8, last loan 4; closed offered at 4 per cent Prime mercantile paper, 5K Sterling exchange quiet and heavy at 54 82.for 60-day bills, and 546 for demand.

The oil market yesterday was as dull as a meat ax, trades being tew and far between. The range of prices was about the same as that of the. day before, the only material difference being that tbe lowest price was a trifle lower, The opening and highest was 99c, the lowest 98c,andthe closing BSJc A. little buying here and there stiffened prices at the opening, and a little selling here and there weakened them at the close. Washington field news read: The report of tho oil field is not encouraging. McLeod & Co.'s well is almost through tbe sand and will be only a small producer. This well is located near tbe Zelt, which was a 300-barrcler. This dampens the prospect of this end of tbe field. Donley 4 is near tire bottom of the sand and shows no improvement Wade No. 9 looks like a small pumper. A. J. Clark's Lemoyne and Paul No. 2 will be fair pumpers. The Canonsbnrg field has received a knock down blow Gladden No. 2, situated near Glad den No. 1, which was a gusher, is as dry as a bone. The Canonsborg field is very treacher ous.

STOCKS STE0NGEE. A Change for tbe Better In Railroad Shnrei Easier Monoy Revives Business nnd Gives Values Quito n Boom. Sew Yobk, October 8. The stock market presented a stronger front to-day, and the stocks of tbe regular list once more became the leaders, while the trusts twere comparatively quiet and occupied a much less conspicuous position in the market than for the past two weeks. The -change for the better la tbe J monetary situation was tbe most important factor in this improvement, and to-day most of the business done was at 67 per cent, though loans were made as high as 8 in the forenoon and as low as 4 toward the close. The strength of the trusts was the feature of early tradlrg, aud later there was a heavy drive at the Grangers, which for a time gave the bears tho complete control of tbe market After this was over, however, the whole face of the mar ket underwent a marknri AhnncA for the better. I and sharp rallies were in order all over the list me covering or shorts being on a large scaie and the buying for the long account was stimu lated to a considerable extent. The London market was all higher for Americans this morn ing, but the opening here was very irreirular, and while Northern Pacific was up M, Jersey Central was down 1 per cent The trusts earlv showed considerable Btrength, but there was yet. a severe pressure upon Atchison and the grangers, in which tbe coat stocks sympathized, and Jersey Central made a material decline in the earlv dealings. The full force was brought to bear upon the Grangers after 11 o'clock, and Burlington and Peoria especially felt the attack severely. The attack upon this stock had the appearance of a drive to buy upon, and while considerable long stock came out on the decline there is reason to believe that the heavy lots aimed at which have been accumulated upon tbe late issue, were not forthcoming. The talk of the issue of a large'amouut of in come to come ahead of the stock helped to keep the flow of long stock going. When the press ure was removed the rebound was sharp, and before noon a portion of the loss had been re gained. The demand from the shorts made an active and strong market for the time being, ampoperators, for a rise, who have held aloof for aome time back, were again encouraged to again take, hold, though their purchases wero made with caution. Chicago turned up as a buyer of stocks, and this was accepted as evi dence that the speculative clique at the center had changed its position upon the market In the upward movement there were some very sharp advances made among the specialties, and San Francisco preferred, which had sold down to 53 from 69 last evening, recovered to 58. Manitoba also continued its recovery and sold up to 116, against 111 yesterday, Cotton Oil displayed the most positive strength, and followed by Sugar material advances were made before the close of business. Burlington did not nnitn rarnver its loss of ' last night's price. The upward movement con tinued turougnout the afternoon, ana wnne there was some taking of profits, which carried some stocks down slightly below tbe best fig ures, the market closed quiet and strong at or near tbe highest prices of the day. The final changes are somewhat irregular, but advances are in a majority, and while Canada Pacific lost IJi, San Franciscopreferred gained 6, Cotton Oh Sugar 2, Tennessee Coal Northern Pacific preferred 1J, Big Four 1, Missouri Pacific 1 per cent, and others fractional amounts. Railroad bonds were dull as nsnal, and pre sented a weak front generally, though the deal, ings were devoid of a feature of interest. The business done am6unted to only $788,000, and was without important movement among the active stocks. The rollowmc tame snows t:.e prices oractlve stocks on tbe New York Stock Excnange yester day.

The 6 per cent first mortgage bonds of the West Pennsylvania Railroad brought 109k in Philadelphia; The pumping house of the Pennsylvania Water Company ( Wilkinsburg), at Wildwood, will be finished in a few days. The reservoir is not so far advanced. It is not Known when water will be turned on. Tux owner of a piece of ground in the East End a few days ago authorized a Fourth ave nue agent to sell it for 6,000, or $60 a front foot. Yesterday ho countermanded the order and put the price up to $65 a foot, This shows that property is advancing. A Kew York dispatch says: "Most of the Presidents of the National Banks ridicule the idea of any tight money and insist that while there may be a temporary spasm there is really nothins in tbe situation to 'cause the slightest apprehension." A dispatch from Denver says: "The Yan kee Girl is working a diamond drill in the lower level, prospecting for the ore body. A car load of first-class ore was sampled at Stolber's sampler on Thursday, which yielded 2,890 ounces of silver and a large ner cent of copper, or nearly $30,000 for he car load."
