Market basket materials are very much as they- were last Saturday as to cost There are still a few peaches and pears on the f.-uit stalls, but anything choice in this Hue hails from the Pacific slope. Grapes are now at their best. Every variety at reason able rates is to be had for next Sunday's dinner. The home crop is below average, but Ohio and New York are coming to our rescue, and the fruit of the vine is here in abundance. The first killing frost of the season put in its appearance on the Dili or October. To matoes arc, however, in full supply, and will be for weeks to come, as gardeuers have laid by in store a sufficiency for the present month at least. ltetail prices of vegetables are practically the same as a week ago. The same is true as to fruits, though the field for selection is more limited than it was last Saturdays Dairy products of all kinds have been active the past week but prices are unchanged. Its Stimulating Effect. The cool weather has had a stimulating influence on trade in this line. Reliable eggs are scarce and higher. Poultry is com ing in more trecly from the West. "Western Pennsylvania's crop of poultry is unusually light, and prices would be out of reach of the ordinary purse it the West did not come to our rescue. The better grades of fish and oysters are still in scant supply, though there has been an improvement in this respect the past week. White fish ana large salmon are still short of demand, owing to late storms on the lakes which prevented the lifting of nets. Oysters of the higher grade are scarce and firm". Baltimore packers complain that they are losing money at present prices, and all agree that an advance must soon come. t One Bit Fridnj'n Work. A Diamond Market fish dealer reports that he cleaned over a ton of fish this morn ing, and sold oysters in proportion. Friday and Saturday are the great fish days and the trade for these days is larger than all the balance of the week. Florists report a steady improvement of trade. The wedding business is on the boom, and this week has been the best of the season in this line. There is a very large ran of late for orchids for bridal bouquets. From now until the holidays the floral trade will be at us best, and the outlook far a lively society time wis never brighter in this neck of the woods than it is to-day.

Chicago The Government crop report made public yesterday, placing the yield of uheat per acre at 12.8 bushels, making an ag gregate yield of about 495,000,000 bosh els, had the effect of causing a very weak opening to day, prices being IJiQlJic below the closing yesterday. The market did not act strained jesterday notwithstanding the sharp advance, but traders had calculated on the report not showing a crop of over 455,000,000 bushels. The more favorable showing of the report was a disappointment to the hulls, which caused a general unloading of long wheat, those who had not sold yesterday being anxious to realize, and the decline was rapid. Especially was the break from the close of 'Change yes terday to the opening to-day unfortunate to parties having stop limit orders. The action ota prominent local trader who bought very freely, presumably to cover "shorts," did much to prevent a further break in prices, the markets for a time being quite panicky. There was less talk of export busi ness to-day. All wheat came on the market and the short interest it is thought, is pretty ell covered. Prices declined to a point 2c for December and 2Hc for May below jester day's outside or closing prices and closed at in side figures of the day. A good business was transacted in corn, and the teeltng developed was easier, the bulk of the trading being at lower prices. The easier tone was attributed largely to the decline in wheat The market opened Jc under the closing yesterdav, sold off a trifle, but under a good demand from shorts advanced Jc, re acted, losing the advance, became firmer, and closed a shade lower than yesterday. A feature to-day was the narrowing of the premium of May over the nearer deliveries. The Govern ment report would indicate an increase in the yield of about 90,000,000 bushels of that one month ago. Oats were unsteady, with fair trading in May, but very little doing in othei deliveries. Tho weakness in wheat had a depressing effect and under fair selling prices" for May declined K c from yesterday's close. Buying by a prom inent operator, however, caused a reaction of Jc, and the market closed steady at Jc below yeteruay. The provision trade was somewhat feature less. In the open market October pork was traded in sparingly at $10 50. General trading was slow. There were no large individual pur chases. Prices displayed an easier tendency. January pork and November and January lard suffered a decline of 2Jc, October lard and future short ribs were unchanged, November pork was oc cigner. The leading tutures ranged as follows-.

The Prospect for the EemoTal of East Liberty Stockyards GONE ENTIRELY 00T OP SIGHT. Natural Gas is Discussed at a Meeting of Iron5nd Steel Experts. WEEING WOMEN IN THE LARGE CITIES It is probable that the stockyards will re main indefinitely at Torrens. This is the opinion of a real estate broker doing busi ness in that neighborhood, who said yester day: "The recent improvements in the yards, consisting of new pens and buildings, and the talk of enlarging them as soon as the railroad shops are removed to Wilmerd ing show pretty clearly that they are to re main where they are. They spoil one of the finest districts in the East End, for people do not want to live near them. If they were taken away the ground occupied by them would sell with a rush, and would soon be covered with houses. As it is, lots in that vicinity are slow sale, and do not brin anything like their value as com pared with other East End property. The railroad company could get a great deal of money for the ground occupied by the yards, and it seems to me they would make money by selling oat and going to Walls, where they own a large tract of land. "One of the objections to this is the alleged difficulty of securing a sufficient suoply of good water, but it might be obtained frbm Braddock or Wilkinsburg, both of which places have water-works,or from artesian wells. This is only an excuse. The fact is the company find tho yards so profitable that they are afraid to run the risk of removal, since the greater dist ance that butchers and drovers would have to travel might cause a diversion In favor of the Allegheny yards. So, as they are coining money, I suppose the yards will be kept where they are, and the people thereabout be com pelled to submit to the nuisance or move away." At the Paris meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute, the natural gas of the United States was alluded to by Sir Lowthian Bell in the course of his address. On this point he said. as specially reported in the Imerfean Manu facturer and Iron World : "As regards the American gas, which I saw in use so long ago as 1876 in Pittsburg, any comparison between it and a factitious gas is, in my judgment entirely illusory. In Penn sylvania a mere hole is bored in the ground; this taps the subterranean store, which rushes to the surface nnder a pressure of 200 to 300 pounds on the square inch, and the gas is then impelled along a pipe by its own elasticity to the very furnaces at which it is to be consumed. To obtain producer and water gas a much larger and infinitely more expensive hole, or holes, have to be dug and fitted with costly and powerful machinery. Besides working coal at great cost vast volumes of air and great weights of water have to bo set in motion. The coal has then to be transported, often for many miles, along a railway, and converted into gas, mixed with an enormous volume of inert nltro gcn,instcad of an almost pure combustible sub stance like that found in America." Such was Sir Lowthian's 'comparison be tween water gas and the Pennsylvania natural eas. His figures as to the cost of manufacturing water gas and the amount of heat derived from it for metallurgical purposes were severely criticised by Mr. Wildy, the engineer to the Leeds Forge, and Mr. Head, of London, who appeared to be of opinion that while water gas was better than producer gas for metallurgical purposes, it was very much more costly. Mr. Kupelwelser (manager of Baron Rothschild's works in Austria), thought the inventors of water gas were a little too sanguine. Mr. Dow son thought there was no general rule in prac tice as to whether solid fuel was more econom ical than gaseous fuel. In some cases it was better to have one and in other cases it was bet ter to have the other. V Water gas projects in America was the stand point from which Mr. Loomts approached the subject. At the works with which he was con nected they got 35,000 to 40.000 feet of water gas from a ton of slack coal. The producer gas was under two inches. It was made with an exhaust instead of a blower. Everything was taken down throuch the coal. The air was passed down through the coals and the tar and everything was converted into gases and it went off as a fixed producer gas with not over 50 to 55 per cent of hydrogen in It In large works in Massachusetts the entire forging was done by water gas at a saving of 30 per cent of labor and 50 per cent of coal. At another works near Boston the whole of the establishment was run with water gas. In this case the water gas was passed into pipes to do fine work of all kinds. The discussion was continued by 8ir Frederick Abel, M. Pourcel, Mr. Frederick Siemens. Discrepancies in figures, with 'reference to cost of water gas production, were so marked a feature of the discussion that no decided ad vantage can be said to rest with either the ad vocates of solid fuel or water gas at the insti tute meeting. For instance. Sir Lowthian Bell set down 12s. 2d. as the cost of gasifying a ton of coaL whereas at the Leeds Forge the same work is declared being done at as low a cost as 2s.8d. The fourth annual report of Carroll D. Wright United States Commissioner of Labor, 'is an addition to existing Information and sta tistics on the subject of labor in America. The worK deals entirely with" the question of work ing women In large cities. Original investiga tions were made in Brooklyn, Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Louis ville, Newark, New Orleans, New York, Phila delphia, Richmond, St Louis and San Fran cisco. Relative to the condition of the work ing women in New York City, the report says: "Two features in the condition of New York City so largely affect the working women there as to dwarf all other considerations the tene ment house and the influx and Concentration of foreign immigration. The existence of separate homes is a rarity, even among the well-to-do industrial classes. The crowded con dition of the poor and struggling is beyond be lief, unless actually witnessed. This brings with it disease, death, immorality, etc Tall rear tenements block up the small air spaces that ere insufficient even for the front and often a third bouse stands behind the second. Sewerage is lacking or defective, and stenches of all kinds prevail In the poorer quarters. The new tenements are built with more atten tion to air, light and cleanliness, and there ia a growing movement toward securing better homes for the working population. Ground being so dear, rents are enormous. The neces saries of life are high, and many of the poor live on the refuse of the markets. 'On the other hand, the comforts of life are found in tho best tenements. Carpets and clean beds, lace curtains, upholstered furni ture, pictures, pianos and organs are not in frequent Among the foreign settlers illiteracy is very great Ambition to learn .English, how ever, fills the night schools with eager pupils. "Working girls born In Now York are alert and worldly wise rather than well educated, even according to the standard of public schools. The pressure of necessity drives them early into the workshop. The moral condition of the working women is influenced for evil by the tenement house home in a way too vast for discussion here. One noteworthy cause for immorality is the taking of men as lodgers for the sako of extra income; another is the long distances girls are compelled to traverse after dark, especially on leaving stores which remain open till 10 or 11 o'clock on Saturday night; an other is the crowding of friendless young women to the metropolis, where they live with out home restraint, suffering every conceivable discomfort, subject to long periods of idleness, which they often enter upon with an empty purse. "Even among the lowest grades, however, there is a ready response to gentle treatment and an Innate politeness that can spring only from a kind heart The truest heroism of life and conduct was found beneath rags and dirt "In dress and bearing the better class of working girls compare' favorably with women of leisure and refinement The almost in variable church contributions, especially amontr the foreign population. Indicate a steady church attendance. As respects Tentl-1 lation. a properly regulated workshop a the exception. The average room is either stuff? and close, or hot and close, and even where windows abound they are seldom opened. Toilet facilities are generally scant and in adequate, and 100 workers are dependent some times on a single closet or sink; and that too often out of order. Considering the cost of living, wages are little, if any, higher in Hew York than in other cities, though the number of well-paid positions being greater, chances of promotion are better." A SPIRIT OP ACHY1TI. Bnslnesi In Locnl Stocks Shows a Decided Improvement Electric Stronger. Sales at the Stoc Exchange yesterday were 876 shares, the largest of any day for several months. Whether it was the opening of a re vival or only a spurt remains to be seen; the probability is, however, that Investors who have been holding out for cheap stuff have about concluded that they can't get It at their figures, and are meeting the market rather than be left in the lurch. It is pretty safe to say that changes from now on will be toward a higher level. The active stocks yesterday, were La Noria, Electric, Pittsburg and Western common and Central Traction, although there was more or less demand for all the so-called favorites. Electric opened at 49H, and sold up to 49& in the afternoon with light offerings, and closing strong. Timid holders are gathering courage. It would bo difficult to bring largo blocks of it under 50 or 5L The reaction is complete. La Noria, which was active at 2 or over before the late expose, sold at , the lowest in its history, and the demand at that figure was soon satis fled. Central Traction was fractionally stronger, but the others were weak. Philadelphia Gas was firm and dull, 35 being bid and Zb asked. The other gassers showed no particular change, except Wheeling, which lost ground. Bids, offers and sales were: xobning. Bid. Aaked, PltU. P. B. &M. Ex 460 Allegheny Nat Bank. 2 , .... Citizens' Nat.

NOTHING TO COMPLAIN OP. Local Bank Doing as Well as Usual at This Season. There was no particular change in the local money market yesterday. Business was re ported fair to good all round. Checking was heavy. The demand for accommodations was said to be on the increase. A cashier said: "While we have so far failed to find employment for all onr money, we are and have been doing very well for several weeks. We commenced the season with a very large surplus, and it wonld require an extraor dinary expansion of business to call it nil into requisition. Then, again, manufacturers and merchants are getting nearly all they need from their customers. Our loans are about as large as usual at this season and rates are a lit tle better. Nothing is suffering for want of funds. The situation proves completely that a large surplus and active business are perfectly consistent" The exchanges were $2,116,129 20, and the balances 325,260 4L It will be nip and tuck with Baltimore again this week.

STOCKS MOVeToWN, Operator for a Rise Do Nothing;, Leaving Professionals and Bears to Make Prices Nearly Evcrytblne Closea at a Decline. Netv York, October 11. The stock market continued to show a moderate volume of busi ness to-day, but was comprised in about a half dozen stocks which furnished about three fourths of the business and aU the important fluctuations. The remainder of the list were quiet and feverish within narrow limits as usual of late. The operators tor a rise were doing nothing apparently, and tho bears and professionals had the making of quotations all to themselves, and their efforts were directed to the few leading stocks in which marked de clines were established, but npon the with drawal of the pressure a material rally quickly ensued. The pressure was directed principally against Missouri Pacific, New England and Sugar Refineries, while Atchison was bought freely under cover of the depression in the other stocks.. To further the decline in Missouri Pacific, which seemed to bear the brunt of the attack, a story was put out that the company intended to issue about 8,000,000 of bonds for extensions and other improvements. Mr. Gould was ab sent from the city, which fact may have been taken into consideration when the story was put forth, and no denial of the rumor was had until late in the day, when the mischief bad been done. New England was attacked with a renewal ol the old story of a further issue of Preferred stock, and metwith an official denial, ugar was hurt by the disposition to anticipate an unfavorable decision in the case of the North river refinery, and a rumor that it had been made broke the stock 3 per cent while a denial brought the price up about the level of the opening price. A drive was made at St. Paul with only frac tional effect and marked weakness was de veloped in Oregon Transcontinental on rumors that a suit would be brought by the stock holders against Mr. ViUard to compel an ac counting. Other stocks were specially weak, and Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and St Louis and Louisville and Nashville were con spicuous at times. Considerable pressure was1 brought against Cotton Oil lu the early dealing, but the resistance was too strong and a rapid rally followed, though the whole of the lm- rovement was not retained at'the close. Rock iland was notably strong and recovered hand somely from the depression ot yesterday, again crossing par, though it also was unable to hold tho advantage. Sugar opened at 84 against S4 last evening and declined to 81, but rallied to 81 and closed at 82. Missouri Pacific opened down at 71 and was forced off to 68 recovered to 70, but closed at 69. New England was lower at the opening at 46, dropped to 43-, and rallied to 45, closing at 45. Atchison was strong from tbe outset and rose from 26 to 28 and closed at 28. The list is almost invariably lower to-night the only marked ex ception being Atchison, with an advance ot 1 per cent while Sugar is off 2. Missouri Pacific VA, New England and Transcontinental 1 each, Louisville and Nashville and Big Four 1 per cent each. Railroad bonds were less active to-day, the sales reaching only 700,000 and the trading was entirety devoid ot features of any sort The following table snows tne prices oractlve stocks on the New York Stock Excnange yester day.

Friday's markets were generally quiet and slow in prod uce lines. Eggs are very firm and can hardly fail to go higher soon. Daily products are ac tive at the old rates. Potatoes have evidently touched bottom and are steadier. Sweet pota toes are quiet. Grapes are in lull supply, but prices are well maintained. The tropical fruit trade has developed no new features. Markets are active and prices firm. Poultry is in good demand, with a tendency to higher prices. Though frosts within a day or two have put a quietus on any new tomatoes, prices, as yet, have failed to advance. Tbe quality, however, of those on market has depreciated considera bly the past few days.

The Sharpsburg and Lawrencevilla Bridge Company bas declared a dividend of SI per share, payable at the Fanners' and Mechanics' Bank after October 15. As a remedy for the car famine, a prominent railroad official suggests that railroad facilities of all kinds be increased 10 per cent every year whether the trade ot the year be good or bad- JR. J. Stonet, Jr., 131 Fifth avenne, has jut Issued a neat pamphlet containing the state ments of the Pittsburg National Banks, and in cluding Allegheny, Braddock and McKees port. James Cochran has purchased, for Brown & Cochran, the coal nnder tbe Sherrardfarm in Dunbar township, Fayette county. The price'paid was 162,500, being S500 an acre for 125 acres. The cost to the Western Union Company of handling messages on its overland lines was 22 4-10 cents per message, against 232-10 cents in 1838, while the rates collected average 31 2-10 cents per message, the same as last year. There have been recently some very remark, able discoveries of iron ore in Carrol county, Va., and large purchases have been made by Pennsylvania parties. It Is said to be one of the largest ore yielding districts yet discovered in the South. The Allegheny Heating Company bas de clared x regnlar dividend of 10 per cent and an extra one of 1 per cent. This is the first divi dend for the year beginning October L Last year tbe company declared dividends amount ing to 13 per cent. A NEW process for burning coal without smoke has lately been discovered. It consists in sprinkling water containing a special prepar ation of rosin over the coal, and the result Is that there Is no smoke, and the glow is as In tense as coke. As English Company is to be formed to work tbe new patent. The recurrence of the periodical rumor con cerning the export trade for American coke, has brought out the fact that, in a small way, a foreign coke trade has led a quiet existence for some considerable time. No serious attempt bas ever been made to send coke to Mediter ranean or other Trans-Atlantic ports, but both tbe H. C. Frlck Company and the J. M. Scboon mVar f!nVn Cotrinanv hare ahlnDed to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Cuba, and other neigh boring markets.
