A K ICE INCREASE OVER LAST IEAE. Domestic Silks and fiibtons Are Supplant ing the Foreign. KEW ATEKUES OPENING TO THE LADIES Office or Pittsburg dispatch. Tuesdat. October li IS& Interviews with our leading jobbers of millinery goods develop the fact that trad6 in this line was never better at this season of the year. The demand for piece coods and ribbons has gone beyond expectations, and while our jobbers laid in larger supplies than usual iu these lines for fall trade, their faith in the size of the trade was none too large. The situation of the wholesale mil linery trade cannot be better put than in the language of a member of one of our leading firms. Said he: "By reference to our books I find that our business yesterday was 75 per cent larger than the corresponding day last year. Though this increase was exceptional for that day, the months of September and Oc tober will show a decided advance on the same months for 1888. The exposition has been a decided help in bringing to us cus tomers from points entirely new. Lower Prices Rale. "Nearly everything in our line is lower in price than last year, the reduction ranging from 10 to 20 ncr cent. The reduction in some instances was brought abont by lowering quali ty; in others by improved and cheaper facilities for manufacturing goods, and then competi tion has become so sharp In our business that we are content with smaller profits, and try to sell more goods than in the days of big mar gins. The bulk of the goods t e handle are do mestic, whereas 10 or 12 years ago we handled foreign goods in larger proportion than homo goods. Staple domestic coods are as good every way as foreign. Of these, 90 per cent are now made in this country. "One of our main sources of supply in the lino of ribbons and silks is Patterson, N. J., wbirh has developed a phenomenal trade in this line the rast few years. It is within bounds to say that one million dollars goes to Patterson annually from Pittsburg millinery and dry goods jobbers for silks and ribbons. One-third of this amount comes to jobbers of millinerv. One firm sent over 5100,000 to Patterson last year, and our bills there will be larger this year than last. The growth of the silk industry in the United States of late years bns opened 'up new avenues f or joung women, many of whom are Making: n Nice1 Income in getting np designs for silk patterns. Pre miums ot S50 to $100 are offered by Patterson firms for designs, which has called forth the taste and ambition of graduates of the schools of New York, and I know of one young lady ho in this way is making from 100 to S150 per month. "Though Patterson has the lead in manu facturing coods in our line, and probablv man ufactures two-thirds of the whnlo United States Drodnrt. Allentown, of this State. Hart ford, Conn., and other points are developing this industry, and every year we are growing more independent of the Old "World. ""There has been a wonderful development in the coloring art, as well as in designs, in this country in the past few years. We are still behind in velvets and satins, ana some ex tremely high novelties. The imported staple goods we use will not now be above 10 per cent of the total, and, as to values, the domestic goods handled here in millinery lines, is more than SO per cent of the total. "In the lino of feathers, the fashion this season runs more to ostrich feathers than last. "We have handled abont as many ostrich as fancy this season, while last year our trade was mostly confined to fancy feathers." A member of another jobbing millinery firm was seen who talked in much the same strain. In addition to the gentleman quoted above, the second jobber interviewed reported that while there has been a decline in most of millinery goods, such -staples as hosiery and gloves are stiffening, and that while Sentember trade vru slack, October is booming, and has already more than made up for lost time.

There was good biding in wheat during the early part of to-day's session within a narrow range, prices varying scarcely more than yselAc Some of the big local shorts were covering, and there was considerable selling on New York account. The opening was quiet, with prices about He lower than yesterdaj's closing, but the local f eelingwa rather bullish and the market rallied slightly. Later prices dropped off :, recovered again, but closed easy, ii&iic lower than, yesterday. For over an hour after the opening trading continued pretty fair, and after that ruled rather dull until inside figures were reached, when bniing orders, about S1K6S2C for Decem ber, prevented a further decline. Corn ruled quiet the greater part of the session, trading being largely local and fluc tuations limited to HKe range. The feeling was on the whole somewhat easier. There was no new feature developed, ana prices were governed mainly,by; local influences, closing a shade lower. Oats were a trifle more animated, but a weaker feeling developed, and prices declined slightly. Trading was fair, but mostly in De cember and May. There was more pressure to sell, and prices declined HK the market closing easy at about inside figures. The mess pork market was unchanged and trading was limited.

SAILED AWAY FROM 25,000. An Ocean Cnptnln Trobably Dllssed the Op. porinnliy of Ilia Life. Bbookttjt, October 15. Captain Pryde, of the British steamer St Andrew's Bay, which reached here from Gibraltar, reports that on October 9, in latitude 40, longitude 61 40', he sighted a derelict with three lower masts and rigging. Captain Pryde possibly missed the opportunity of his life. The wreck, it is thought, mar have been the abandoned Norwegian bark Freya, lnden with turpentine, which is drifting about off the coast somewhere, with several tugs cruising for her to get that $25,000 re ward offered as salvage by her owners.

Over 200 Houses Built in the Fleas ant Valley District This Year. THE GREAT SCHENLEI ESTATE. Groundless Fears That It Will be Worked to Smash the Eealtj Market. IT WOULD BE AN ELIXIR TO TEADE In enumerating the districts which have experienced building booms this year of grace, that of which the Allegheny City ter minus of the Pleasant Valley Bailway is the center should not fie overlooked. The improvements there or thereabouts have been so great as to completely change the anpearance ot the locality. Over 200 houses, all of them dwellings, have been erected there since January 1. The majority of them are completed, and the rest will be in a short time. The principal builders have been the Keystone Land Com pany and William McCreery. But few vacant lots remain, and the most of them are situated on the hilL Few places of equal area and pop ulation can show such a record. Kears are expressed in certain quarters, and by men, too, whose opinions are entitled to respect, that the opening up to purchase of the great Schenley estate wonld either smash the local real estate market, or cripple it so badly that recovery would be the work of years. There is no apparent reason for this pessimistic view of the matter. Unimproved property has been picked up so fast for a year or two that it is comparatively scarce, and new sources ot supply are needed to keep values within reason able bounds, so that people of limited means mechanics, artisans, and laboring men, may have a chance to acquire homes. Whatever has a tendency to prevent them from owning the houses in which they live is a public wrong. H the opening up of the Schenley or any other property, shall have the effect of making it easier for people inordinary circumstances to become proprietors, let it be opened up regard less of whether it will 'smash the market',' or not. W V But what is the argument of those who affect, to believo that the appearance of this land on the market would cause a reaction in values? It is, in short, that it would make the supply greater than the demand, and that' to effect sales concessions would have to be made. Is this the fact or is it mere guesswork? If a fact, it is a revelation to those who have kept a close watch over real estate movements ever since the revival from the crash of 1873, and more especially for the past two or three years, within which time a vast amount of property has changed hands so much, indeed, that the complaint of a scarcity 01 good building sites has become chronic, and the majority of buyers have had to go from five to eight miles from the business part of the city for lots which conformed to their views in situation and price. This gave owners of urban land a great advan tage over buyers, as it enabled them to dictate prices. It did more and worse it completely extinguished the hopes of the poor man ot some day owning a home within the city limits. This is a general statement of the case, and the exceptions to it rather add to than detract from its force. But admitting it to be only ap proximately correct, it shows very clearly that there is a dearth ot land at a price within the reach of people of small means, and furnishes an adequate reason why the opening up of a new source of supply wonld be a public benefit. In this connection another thing should bo considered: "High prices make a slow market, Several instances in proof of this might be cited. A year or two ago there was an active movement out Per.n avenue. Holders, think ing that the tide was in their direction, and that they conld get anything they asked for, ad vanced values 15 to 25 per cent The result was that buyers withdrew, and the property re mained unsold. The lower part of the city is also suffering from excessive valuation. The lesson to be learned from these facts is that the only way to maintain activity in real estate is to keep values on a level with the demand, and not so far in advance of it as to block transac tions. Buyers are more careful than they formerly were. At an auction sale of lots in a neighbor ing borough not many years ago, so great was the excitement and so clamorous the purchas ers that they eagerly took anything that was offered without looking at it, and with no knowledge, personal or otherwise, of its loca tion or environments, and when there was dan ger that they wonld bo left ont in the cold they made a personal appeal to the auctioneers, say ing: "Mr. Auctioneer, please sell me a lot" This was the last real estate craze that has af flicted the-city. Business is conducted differ ently now. Buyers are not going aronnd with their eyes shut, taking everything that is of fered them without reference to value, loca tion or anything else. They go from one agent to another in quest of bargains, the same as purchasers of drygoods or other commodities. They stand upon their dignity as buyers. This is a good, healthy sign of a stable real estate market, and while It makes a Doom impossible, it is also a guarantee against an undue depres sion. The opening up ot the Schenley estate, the bulk of which is beyond Oakland, would throw into the market one of the most desirable resi dence districts in or near the city. It would afford another and much-needed outlet to the country of the urban population, to the great benefit of business.which is sufferingforroom to admit of expansion; and it would attract popn. lation in the hope of securing homes at fair prices. Rapid transit wonld quickly follow, making it easily and quickly accessible to all classes of people doing business in the old city. This would stimulate the demand for bnildin; sites, and it wonld soon be covered with houses. The danger Is not that it would "smash the market," but that it would lead to inflation, and beget another craze, of all things the mest undesirable. Still, this result is neither immi nent nor urobable, since the throwing of this vast property upon the market would occasion no surprise. In fact its, effect has been dis counted. It has been a possibility for years, but in defiance of this menace, If such it be, real estate has shown no sign of wavering; bnt has steadily advanced as the demand increased, and the supply of available property grew less. The cry that the addition of so large a body of land to the present supply of marketable property would "smash the market" has no more foundation in fact than the apprehension ot onr fathers that the general introduction and use of railroads would render horses use less for draft Railroads opened up many op portunities for business unthought of before, and the putting of the Schenley estate into the market will stimulate dealings in realty by the diversion of capital from other forms of in vestment, and by increasing the Interest of buyers, who will have better opportuities for selection. There is nothing for real estate owners and dealers to fear but much to hope from the placing of these broad acres upon the market The estate is detrimental to tlie welfare of the city as it is. If sold off in small parcels and improved it will prove a blessing. A LIGHT DAI'S WORK. Stock Brokers Still Waiting for tsometblnc to Tarn Up. The stock market yesterday was a chip off the old block that is, it lacked snap as well as other features necessary to make business. There wero very few buying orders. Holders seem to have reached a point where they will neither sell nor buy except on a small scale. It is said that the reason for this is that when they loaded up they paid higher prices than those now current This puts them in a hole, and they must either sell at a loss or bold out for an advance. If they do the latter they will succeed In the end, for It is patent to everybody that tbo present apathy cannot last much longer. Brokers must do something or seek other fields of activity. Any material change in prices must be for the better. The only stocks that showed any activity wero Pleasant Valley, Electric La Norla, Philadel phia and Wheeling Gas. Electric and the gassers were fractionally weaker. La Noria was firm at Ji, which was freely offered for it Pleasant Valley was in active demand at 19.

There was a pretty lively oil market yester day, prices being higher and business better than for a long time. It opened at 100, ad vanced to 101K, declined to 100, recovered and closed at 100. The advance was not in the nature of a boom, but the natural result of the ceaseless shortage which is making the stuff so scarce that those wanting it must pay fairly for it - Trading was food at all of the exchanges. Pittsburg, Oil City and New York were buy ers until late, when the latter turned seller, causing the slump at the close. The shorts did considerable coverlnz during the day. A Bmall amount of business was done in cash oil at 100. There was a good feeling at the close. Monday's clearings were 290.009 barrels. Field news was to the following purport: The Gnsford Oil Company's ell. Acbeson, and Kelly & Co.'s Hutson, are reported to be both in the sand. If these wells come in they will open up considerable territory in the South and East The Stevenson Schmertz-Darrah well is in the top of the sand. This is one of the wells concerned in the Acbeson dispute. If H. W. Acheson wins the suit all the oil the well produces will go to film. Penlnrea of the fllnrket. Corrected daily by John M.

MONEY AGAIN TIGHT And Railroad Shares Irregular and Weak A Sharp Attack on the Sacnr Trust Cotton Oil Strong Final Prices Lower. New York, October 15. The stock market to-day was more active for the regular list but qnietfor the trusts, the business done in the unlisted stocks being confined to only four of them, and only about one-half what it was yes terday. There was great irregularity in the market throughout the day, and stocks were moving m opposite directions in different parts of the list at the same time almost ill day long. Money was in more urgent demand, and the rata on call went up to 12 per cent at one time, while the bulk of the business was done at 6 f Per cent The bears were more active and decidedly aggressive to-day, and their operations were almost entirely responsible for the' changes in quotations that were made, and while Missouri Pacific was the principal point of attack, such stocks as Louisville and Nashville, Union Pa cific and the Gould specialties received special attention. This weakened the general list, and the result of the days' operations is generally to leave prices fractionally lower than they were last evening. Atchison sold ex-rigbts which were quoted at i and later H and . The stock, however, was quite strong, spec ially in the early portion ot the day, upon the announcement of the organization plan, and heavy Boston bnying orders were said to have been received, while for a time the stock was in great demand in the loan crowd at 1-64 pre mium. Cleveland. Columbus, Cincinnati and St Louis and Chesapeake and Ohio seconds pre ferred were also prominent bull cards in the forenoon, but realizations at the improvement gave an opportunity for considerable hammer ing of the regular list, and these advances were almost entirely wiped out at the close. Atchi son not only lost all its early advance, bnt scored a decline in addition. Missouri Pacific was the feature of the market and pressnre upon it was specially severe from the start, and from 71; at the opening it was forced off with frequent slight rallies to 68, but it recovered to 63 at tho close. Tlie other Gould properties were weaker, and Manhattan and Western Union 'especially suf fered. In the early morning, when the railroad list was strong throughout the attack upon Sugar was continued, and all the old rumors in regard to the property were reiterated, with the effect of knocking 'it down to 73. against 76 last evening, but it rallied quickly when the railroad list became the objective point of the bears and. was brought up again to the opening figure, though it lost a Dortion of the improvement at the close. The other trusts did not sympathize with it to any appreciable extent, and Cotton Oil was positively strong in the early dealings. The market continued heavy to weak throughout the afternoon, and finally closed rather heavy at the lowest prices of the day. The list is almost invariably lower this even ing, the advances being few in number and tor insignificant fractions, while Sugar is down 2, Manhattan a like amount, Missouri Pacific 1, Louisville and Nashville 1 and Atchison and Canada Pacific 1 per cent each. Railroad bonds were quiet and devoid of spe cial feature. The following table snows tne prices oraotlve stocks on the Mew York Stock Kxcnange yester day.
