FKIDAT. OctoDer 13. 18S8. I
There are few features of interest in the
line of market basket materials different
from last Saturday. The first killing frosts
of the season put in their appearance this
week, and outdoor tomatoes are a thing of
the past. Grapes and California fruits have
the field in fruit lines. At the Diamond
.Market stalls a quiet week's trade is re-
ported. The qnietness is attributed to the
winding up ot the Exposition. We are now
haying the lull which naturally follows the
rush of the past few weeks.
Dairy products, which lor several weeks
past were moving upward, have turned the
other direction, but not enough to affect re
tail prices.
A General Kevlew.
Poultry comes in more freely and prices
are a shade lower than they were jnveekago.
The supply of fish and oysters is now well
up to demand, but prices are firm, especially
for high grade stock. Weather the past week
has been favorable to fishermen along the
coast, and the result is seen in better supplies
of ocean fruits at this market.
Florists are not jubilant over the trade of
this week. Last week brought unusual de
mands in floral lines, on account of numerous
weddings and other society events.
This week we are having the calm
that follows the storm, and the effect
is seen in a light demand for flowers.
But the present lull is only a temporary one,
and, according to all past experience, there
will be a bteady Increase of demand in floral
Hues from now till (bo holidays. Our florists
arc better prepared to meet this demand than
Ian season, when they were forced in the
neigat or tue season to draw suppues uom
astem markets.

Kot Bfnch Tim In the Wheat Pit, but Talnes
EnU Fractionally Higher Cable
Advice Rather Dliconrms
Ids to Holders
Chicago "Wheat trading-was moderate and
within narrow limits. Occasionally a little
spurt of trading occurred. Prices held their
own very well, with May showing some
strength, and the premium over December was
widened to 3J3Jc. The market opened dull
at about yesterdays closing figures, held steauy
for awhile and then advanced c for Decem
ber and Jgc for May above Inside figures
reached, eased off Jfc, rallied a and closed c
higher for December and jjc higher for May
than closing figures of yesterday.
Trading Is gradually centering In May. a here
was really nothing new in the Influences pre
sented on which to base speculative ventures.
Cable advices were unfavorable for holders.
It was rumored that the Agricultural Depart
ment figured a total yield of 493,000.000 bushels
for the crop of 1889. but nothing definite could
be learned retarding" the Tumor. There was a
rumor that 20 loads of wheat had been taken in
New York for export, but late advices denied
this, but tated that it might prove to be 20
loads of No. 1 Northern taken by Philadelphia
millers. Milwaukee reports 10,000 sacks to-day.
It was estimated that the receiptsat Minneapo
lis for Monday would reach 2,003 cars.
In corn the firm feeliner that has prevailed
for several days past became more apparent
to-day, and higher prices were established,
especially on the near deliveries. The stronger
tone was due to the small receipts. Vet weather,
good shipping demand and decreasing stocks.
The market opened jc above the closing prices
of yesterday, was strong, receivers and ship
pers both purchasing near months, and gradu
ally advanced y2c cased offJic, becime firmer,
and closed JiffiKc higher than yesterday.
Oats were steadier with light trading. More
Eressure to sellJanuary was noted, and a fair
usinesswas tranacted In the way of chang
ing trades from December to January at c
difference.
In mess pork a moderate trade was reported,
but the feeling was somewhat unsettled and
prices irregular. October delivenes were easy
and lOgUJfo Iowei. The market closed rather
quiet.
In lard a little more steadiness was mani
fested, but trading was only moderate. Prices
ruled slightly higher, and the market closed
steady.
In short ribs sides trading was dull, and there
were no particular changes to note.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

A LIGHTNING DEAL
flow a Real Estate Owner Was Cor
nered by a Hustling Agent'
ELECTRICITY IN THE SDBDRBS.
Steel Advances at Glasgow on Reported
Failure of Natural Gas,
WHAT THE W0ED LIMITED SIGNIFIE8
Owners of real estate, when they want to
sell, pursue the same policy as people in
other lines of business. They want all thev
can get for their property. Sometimes, when
they hesitate about selling, the offer of a
large price, much more than they expected,
quickly brings them tov terms. A case of
this kind occurred in the lower part of the
city a short time ago.
A Fourth avenue agent eceived a com
mission to buy a certain piece of business
property not far from Market street. It was
badly wanted by the gentleman giving the
order, and he was not particular about the
price. The property was worth, in the
usual way, 510,000 or 512,000. The agent
offered the latter price for it, but the owner
reiused to let it go at that figure, saying he
didn't want to selL In a Tew days the agent
called again, but the owner adhered to his
former conclusion. This put the agent on his
mettle, and he determined to make a trade
somehow.
"You say you don't want to sell,'' ae remarked
to the owner. "Now if some one would come
along and offer you a fancy price, away above
what you hold the property at, what would you
doT"
"Oh, in that case I would let it go. But I
hardly think there is any one fool enough to
offer me, say, $20,000 for a property that isn't
really worth more than the half of it as it
stands."
"Will you take S20.000 for itT" asked the
agent.
"Certainly I will. If anybody is idiot enough
to offer it," replied the owner.
'Twill take it," snapped the agent.
And, determined not to give the owner a
chance to change his mind, the agent sat down
there and then, examined the title, made out
the papers, had them signed and handed the
seller a check for the money. He has been
lamenting ever since that he didn't ask more.
The property has been improved by the pur
chaser, and Is now worth probably twice as
much as he paid for It.
This Napoleonic style of dealing is not recom
mended for general adoption, for it has its
drawbacks, but it certainly worked well in the
case in question.
Sewickley, Wilkinsburg, Edgewood and per
haps other towns in the vicinity of Pittsburg
are enjoying the luxury of electric light, and
from all indications It is giving satisfaction to
the citizens. This brings to view a fact hitherto
not puDlicly noticed, the general movement
among small towns in this end of the State to
secure electric lighting. At present quite a
number of boroughs surrounding Pittsburg
are discussing the feasibility of getting the
new light at a cost proportionate to their small
population.
The American Manufacturer takes consider
able stock in the staying powers of natural gas.
It says: "Through a private cable received in
Pittsburg on Tuesday, wo learn that there has
been considerable excitement in Glasgow over
the rumor that natural gas had given out loPitts
burg, and, as a consequence, the price of steel
was advancing in that city. It seems almost
past belief that sensible people, who have paid
the least attention to the question of the sup
ply of natural gas, can credit any such absurd
storie3. While there can be no doubt that ulti
mately the supply of gas will be exhausted, or
will become so small in volume as to make it
necessary to secure other fuel for large opera
tions, there is no immediate prospect of any
such exhaustion.
"The strongest wells that have ever been
struck In the neighborhood of Pittsburg, possi
bly the strongest wells yet found in the United
States, are those of the comparatively recently
opened Bellevernon district, while the volume
of gas that is being produced in the various
Washington, Murraysville and other districts
in the immediate vicinity of these show, as yet,
no signs of diminution."
The present condition of the Connellsville
coke trade may be said to be the best in the
history of the region, but on account of the
scarcity of cars some of the works throughout
the region made but four or five days the past
week. It is expected, however, that with the
number of individual cars now being built, the
operators will be enabled to catch up with
orders before long. The shipments for the
week ending yesterday would have been fully
8.000 cars had the means of transportation been
adequate, bnt for lack of shipping facilities
2,500 cars of coke were stocked in the yards.
Many works are unable to draw, on account of
this accumulation.
w
It has become somewhat common nowadays
to see the word "limited," In parenthesis, after
the titles of corporations, and it is safo to say
that people generally do not understand the
significance of this term, though, of course,
business men do. Tbe old principle of corpora
tions created by legislative act was that the en
tire property of every stockholder was liable
for the whole of the company, as the whole
property of every member of a general partner
ship is still liable for, the debts of tbe firm.
This system made every shareholder responsi
ble for bad management, of which he might not
be gnilty, and deterred wealthy men from be
coming interested in the shares of corporations.
To remove this objection the principle of
limited responsibility was introduced, and in
order to notify the public that only the sep
arate property of the corporation was liable ror
the debts of the corporation, the English law
requires that the word "limited" shall be used
in every case by the company in connection
with its title.
t
Further talk of developing the Cheat river
coal fields has been caused by the recent pur
chase of LOOO acres of land in Springfield
county, W. Va., by WaUer Laughead, of
Uniontown, Pa. It is said that coke ovens are
to be built on the property. Mr. Laughead
states that he made the purchase for Eastern
capitalists. The general opinion among Con
nellsville coke producers is that thero will be
no definite move in the near future to make
developments in the field mentioned.
The Meal Estate Record and Business Guide
remarks, and its meaning is plain: "Those who
argue that prices of real estate In the business
portion of the city and directly on lines of com
munication have reached their limit are re
ferred to the prices ruling in other cities in sim
ilarly favored localities. This is a subject that
must be considered apart from suburban
values, and without reference to the valuation
ot the property in request by the buyers of
home sites. When the volume of trade and
facilities presented In the business localities are
borne in mind, and values compared with those
recognized in other large cities, the impression
that values have reached their limit will prob
ably yield, and the conclusion that they must
Increase in Pittsburg just as they have done
elsewhere will be admitted."
Considerable excitement has been caused in
Preston county, W. Va by the discovery of
what is claimed to be rich lead deposits. Mr.
C. E. Gallagher, of New York, Chief Engineer
ot the West Virainia and Pennsylvania Rail
road, which is projected from Wheeling to
Uniontown, Fa,, has formed a company of cap
italists to develop the ore.
STILL THE U.VDER DOG.
No Let-up to the Raid on Philadelphia Gas
Company Stock.
Evil communications corrupt good manners
in stocks as other things. The weakness of
the natural gas shares is beginning to affect
all the favorites. Nearly everything on the
active list, which was very narrow, was weaker
yesterday.
Philadelphia Gas was again the cynosure of,
attention. It opened,:; 31) and sold down to '
80 on sales of 425 shires. As support seems to
be getting weaker, it would surprise very few
if 2$ or even 25, were reached before tbe raid is j
over. It all depends upon the hoJders of small
lots. If they begin a general unloading away it
will go. There was no other feature to the
market

A PLETHORA OP FUNDS.
Pittsburg Banks Hold Plenty of money for
All Legitimate Purposes.
Chicago reports no money to spare, hut Pitts
burg banks have more than they can find em
ployment for. The difference between the two
is that Chicago is a debtor and Pittsburg a
creditor city money moves from the one and
toward the other. Pittsburg manufactures
draw funds hither; Chicago specnlation causes
an outward flow, making that center one of the
first to feel a financial pinch.
Nothing short of a universal crash which
would pnt a stop to all manufacturing, could
materially affect Pittsburg. Other cities East
and West have been complaining at intervals
for a month or two of tight money, but the
situation here has been at no time strained,
and the prospect is good for an easy money
market all through the winter.
There was a good demani for funds
yesterday which was supplied at the
customary rates. Checking was good and
depositing liberal for so near the end
of tbe week. Currency was easier. The ex
changes were $2,544,541 18 and the exchanges
323,550 32. The probability is that Pittsburg
will put Baltimore in a hole again this week.

GOING SKYWAED.
The Oil Boom Still On, bat It Foils to Inter
est Outsiders.
The bulls on oil were more bullish than ever
yesterday. They stormed around until they
got the price up to 106 The opening was
105 the highest 106. the lowest 103, and
the closing 105.
The Inciting causes of the boom were a ad
vance of five poiuts in refined at New York,
and expectations that New York shorts will
soon bo compelled to cover. One or two ex
perts said tbe market was runing np too fast
to stay. Conditions, however, are beginning to
count, and they all favor the advance.
Pittsburg and OH City were the principal
supporters of the market. New York sold;
but there was considerable realizing all round:
A notable circumstance is that the boom has
so far failed to interest outsiders. The lobby
yesterday was very thin. Room traders had it
all to themselves. The close was steady to
strong. Thursday's clearings were 860,000 bar
rel. The Wheeling Natural Gas Company is drill
ing four new wells, all of which are expected
to come in within a week. The wells are situ
ated in Oakwelland Mount Pleasant townships,
Washington county, and when finished they
will be connected with the company's mainline
from Washington county to Wheeling.
One of the wells was started as early as" last
December, but last spring the tools broke and
since then the contractors have had a fishing
job, which lasted for several months and de
layed the work considerably. However, the
well is now drilled down Into the sand and it
will be first to come in.

Railroad Shares Hold All of tbe Recent
Gains nnd a Little More News
Entirely Favorable to tbo
Ball Mde.
New Yoek, October 25. The stock market
was more active and decidedly strong to-day,
and at the close all the active stocks were
materially higher than they were last evening.
Thonensof tbe day was almost entirely of a
favorable character, and the disposition upon
tbe street was to regard the new traffic agree
ment between tbe Union Pacific and North
western in a more favorable light, which stim
ulated buying of both of those stocks, and
Union Pacific especially. The bullish feeling
extended to tbe other Granger stocks, and for
the first time in some weeks that group of
shares was strong throughout, Rock Island
being specially conspicuous in tho upward
movement. The buying was done by commis
sion houses, who advised buying for the first
time since the monetary stringency became a
factor in the stock market, aided by Chicago
and London in the attei noon. The shorts cov
ered freely on the earlier condition of money
and helped thejupward movement to a great
extent.
London was a seller of Union Pacific to a
limited extent in tho early dealings, and this
had, as on yesterday, the effect of checking
the natural upward tendency of the market,
but the offerings were easily absorbed, and
rumors of Vanderbilt's buying of the stocks
soon started it upon tbe up tracer All tbe
Vandcrbilt stocks were strong, and Lake Shore
in particular, though none of them made any
marked advance. The coal stocks were also
strong, and Lackawanna late in the day took
tbe lead of tho market, scoring the highest rise
of the day, while Reading was the only slug
gard. The Gould stocks, with the single ex
ception of Missouri Pacific, were rather back
ward, but many of the specialties made sharp
gains, Denver. Texas and Fort Worth being
the most prominent example among tbe stocks.
The trusts were prominent in dealings, and
sugar was weak on losses of the trust, and a
probable further fall in the price of its pro
duct, together with tbe new opposition. Cot
ton Oil, on the contrary, was stropg, tbe point
to not be short of It being freely circulated,
resulting in neavy covering, and the expecta
tion that the reduction in the capital would
result in a scarcity of stock caused some buy
ing. Sugar recovered on the report that no
decision in the North liver case would be
handed do asm to-day.
The heavy earnings reported and the prom
ising success of the Atchison plan aided in
creating a bullish feeling, and in tbe prevailing
ease in money the favorable general situation
was paid more attention to. First prices this
morning were qnite irregular and the market
met in the early dealings some selling for Lon
don and Chicago account, which resulted in a
slight depression which was helped along by
tbe weakness in sugar refineries. The market
was dull but soon developed both activity .and
strength and before the end of tbe first hour
the list was on the upward move. This became
more pronounced toward noon when sugar re
covered, and sharp advances in Union Pacific
and Denver, Texas and Ft. Worth took place,
which were followed by similar movements in
Cotton Oil. Richmond and West Point, the
Coal stocks and specialties. There was some
realizing toward the close and a fractional con
cession was made from tbe best figures, but tho
close while quiet was firm to strong. The final
changes are in the direction of higher prices.
Cotton Oil is up 2lA Lackawanna, 2; Chicago
Gas and Denver, lexas and Ft. Worth, 1;
Rock Island, 1; Tennessee Coal, 1: North
western, VyH Missouri Pacific, yt Atchison,
Jersey Central, Northern Pacific preferred, St.
Paul and Union Pacific each 1 per cent.
Railroad bonds were both more active and
stronger, and a firm tone existed thronghout
the day, resulting in material advances among
the active issues. The total sales of the day
reached $1,607,000, bat to that amount Ft.
Worth and Denver firsts contributed $138,000,
Krie seconds $410,000 and Chesapeake and Ohio
53 $112,000. There was considerable animation
in the Kansas and Texas issues still and the 7s
made a marked advance.

choice stock is active and firm. Jersey sweets
are in good demand, but Southern sweets go

There is an improved demand for Sweitzer and
Limbnrger cbeese the past week and prices are
stiff and wlll.undoubtedly go higher before tbe
month U out The drought in Wisconsin has
curtailed the output dunnc August and Sep
tember, and domestic Sweitzer can hardly fall
to feel the eflect.
