Very Little life In tbo Wheat Pit, and Price Give Wnv n Trifle Corn Bl.her November Pork Sieves Up, Chicago Wheat Trading was only mod erate to-day: in fact, during most of the session the market was quiet. Tho opening was tame aud feeling slightly weaker, but under good buying a stronger feellngdeveloped, and prices .were advanced QKc, tben weakened, aud de clined 5iKc, and closed Jc Ion er for Decem ber, and He lower for May than closing figures of Saturday. May again held up better than December, and the premium weakened, rang ing early 33Je over Decemtcr, and later SKQle over. Foreign advices did not note any special change, quoting the markets quiet and steady, excepting for California, which was quoted a trifle higher. The visible supply to-day formed one of the principal features on the market. Early in the day it was estimated that the in crease would not be as large as had been cal culated upon Saturday: In fact, the first pg ures showed only small increase in stocks, and this had a strengthening effect. But later, as the returns began to show a larger increase, there was come disposition to realize, but hot until after the figures were posted, did the market break to the wide point. The biggest increases were at Minneapolis, Dulnth, Buf falo, Chicago, and on the lakes and canal Receipts in the Northwest, although large, did not by any means reach the figures esti mated toward the close of last week, that Min neapolis and D ninth receive. Five "boatloads were reported taken to-day at New York for export, two for Lisbon and three for South Africa. Local traders bought quite freely early in the session, but a prominent floor ope rator sold freely during the da. In corn a fair specnlative trade- was trans acted within a higher range of prices. The near futures in particular were quite firm, the distant deliveries showing but little change. The influences on the market were much the same as for several days past, namely, shipping demand, decreasing stocks and small arrivals. Eastern markets were up Hc while cables, though dull, were' a trifle higncr on the "off" months. The market opened at about Satur day's closing prices, was firm, and advanced c in all, receded a little, ruled firm, and closed 'iKc higher than Saturdav. Uats were slow and without features of in terest Few outsiders were received and busi ness centered entirely in December and May. particularly in the latter, and prices remained steady. In mess pork there was only fair trade re ported. The feeling was comparatively steady and for November delivery prices averaged a trifle higher. In laid the market showed a little more strength in a general way. October was in fair demand and cold at 2C25c advance, due to a 'Squeeze" the contracts claimed to be held by a refiner and an exporter. Other deliveries were steadier but not materially higher.

Popularity of Apartment Houses, Which May Become a Local Feature. A KEW METHOD OP LAYING FLOORS The country in close proximity to Pitts burg is full of bustling towns, and all of them are growing as fast, or faster, than the city proper. Ten years ago a gentleman who had recently removed from Allegheny to Edgewood, had occasion to stop at "Wil kinsbnrg, and was compelled to inquire of Station Agent Keihl where the town was." II was strung along Penn avenue and could not be seen from the station. Nowjill the ground around the station, as far out as McKee s woods, and up and down the railroad from Edgewood to Brnshton, is covered with houses. In ten years the population of Wil kinsburg has more than quadrupled. It is now about 5,000, This is only one Instance of the rapid growth of the suburbs. Other towns have done almost as well as Wilklnsburg in the same time. On the east there will soon bo a compact body of buildings from the city line to Braddock, or Wilmerding, recently christened East Pitts burg, and on the west as far down as Sewick ley. If capitalists will only build cheap, com fortable houses there will be no difficulty to find people to fill them. Give Pittsburg a chance to grow. w As time passes and land in the cities becomes more valuable than at present, flats or apart ment houses will be recognized as a necessity. They will afford the only practical solution of the difficulty of sheltering large numbers of people unable to buy land upon which to build. This matter has received considerable atten tion In Pittsburg within the past year or two, where land is becoming scarce and dear, result ing in high rents and scanty accommodations, and, from present indications, it is safe to say that two or three flats will be built next year to test the practicability ot the system In this city. If these shonld prove a financial success, more will follow. From the high character of the gentlemen interested in the project it is reasonable to believe that success will crown their efforts. Flats are popular wherever they have been introduced, aud there is nothing to justify the oninlon that they would be a failure here. Within a few years they have become a feature in Washington. The building of the Portland apartment house there a few years ago was re garded as a somewhat risky experiment, but it was a success from the beginning, and the town is now provided with SO or 4U other buildings of a similar kind. The newest as well as the most elegant and commodious of these structures is the Shoreman, just completed- for Vice Presi dent Morton, on the site of the old Hooper mansion, which was bought by Mr. Morton when he was a Representative in Congress. The building is seven stories high, and covers an area of about 14,000 square feet, having an eastern front of 126 feet, and a southern front of 111 feet. It is regarded as absolutely fire proof, and the arrangements for light and ven tilation are perfect That there was a demand for sunn a building is shown by the scramble to obtain apartments and the tact that many ap plicants must be disappointed. Besides other tenants the Shoreman will shelter a little col ony of Senators aud Representatives. The same is true ot New York, Boston, Phil adelphia, Chicago and other cities East and West where flats have been introduced. Ap plications for apartments are made long before the buildings are completed. That they are a financial success is shown by the tact that the average profit onuch investments is stated to be 12 per cent m m A curious method of laying floors has been adopted in France, and has obtained a wide application. It consists In putting down flooring, not as hitherto on sleepers, but in em bodying the boarding in" asphalt The new floors are used mostly for ground stories of barracks and hospitals, as well as for churches and courts of law. Tho advantages of this flooring, which only requires an even bed on which to rest, are said to be that dampness from below and its consequeut rot is prevent ed. Floors may be cleaned quickly and with the least amount of water, insuring rapid dry ing. Vermin cannot accumulate in the joints. The further claim is made that unhealthy ex halations from the soil cannot penetrate into living rooms. Asphalt being impermeable to damp, rooms become pure even if they are not vaulted underneath. In buildings with several stories, as in hospitals, the vitiated air of the lower rooms cannot ascend, an object which it has hitherto not been possible to at tain by any other means known. In a recent issue of a German newspaper at tention is directed to the fact, observed in some of the streets of Frankfort-on-the-Maln, Ger many, that the asphaltpavement in the immedi ate neighborhood ot large gas mains is rapidly destroyed by escaping gas, deep cracks being formed. This has been found to be particularly marked at places where the underlying layer of beton was imperfect, due to the interruption of the work over night while laying. It this be true it;f umisbes an additional reason for' pre venting the escape of gas from the mains in cities of this country, which has given so much trouble by explosions in sub-ways and sewers. FAITH W1TH0DT WORKS. Brokers Stand OfT and Talk About Stocks Brncinz Dp The first movement in bank shares for a long time was the feature of most interest at the Stock Exchange yesterday. For Philadelphia Gas SO was bid aud 81 asked at the close. Very little of it was offered, indicating a firmer feeling among holders. Natural Gas of West Virginia wis m the market at 77? a decline. Wheeling Gas also yielded a fraction. The tractions were dull and barely steadv. Switch and Signal was weak. Other features were un important Brokers generally are buoyant and hopeful, if not altogether red-headed. They think there will be an advance all along the line Before long, but give no reason for the faith that is in them other tban that small holders are about shaken out.

QUIET AND EASI. Fair Dcmnnd for Money, With Plenty of It for Emergencies. There was no especial feature In the local money market yesterday, 'There was a' fair do-' t,.' fW ' - " - j, ?5.j PITTSBURGH DISPATCH, mand at tho usual rates, and a supply equal to all requirements. Routine business was good all round. , , , The exchanges were $2,521,8ol 40, and the bal. ances S429.0S6 93. The tact that Pittsburg put Baltimore In a hole last week was gratifying to the business community. Henry Clews & Co., New York, say in their financial circular: An easier feeling has pre vailed in the money market during the past week. The Interior demand for currency is growing less urgent, and the time is approach ing when this will have been satisfied and cur rency should begin to flow In this direction. By this we do not mean that easy money Is in im mediate prospect and yet an Abatement of the recent tension is to be anticipated. The con tinued contractions in loans, amounting to about J12,000,000 within the last three weeks, has materially strengthened the bank reserves, and so tended to allay uneasiness in that re spect. Moreover, 'bond purchases have been more liberal the last few days about three and a quarter millions and this has afforded some relief. Still further, the Bank of England has succeeded in Increasing Its gold supplies 250, 000 net during the week, and this in Bpite of the interior British demand and considerable ex ports to Brazil. As a result of these conditions, while current rates for both call and time money have ruled at about previous high figures, the stringency is less pronounced and a better demand for commercial paper is noticed; though the high rates tend to diminish the snpply. The foreign exchange market has been heavy, owing to a better supplyof commercial bills. In fact, the condition of our foreign trade is one of the most favorable features in the situation. The revival of trade in Great Britain Is causing an active demand for our exportable products, while the same influence tends to restrict im ports: thus not only averting an unfavorable trado. balance, but also stimulating the demand for home manufactures. Our total exports in September reaphed $65,074,000, compared with 51,934,554 the same month in 1SSS. Money on call at New York yesterday was easy. Prime mercantilepaper, 55if.

The oil market yesterday opened strong at 10 on good Eastern buying aud a further ad vance of 10 points in refined. Local buyers then went to work and run the price up to 109. At this juncture the report ot a well at Sheffield, Warren county, said to be doing 300 barrels an hour, obtained circulation on the floor. This was a veritable wet blanket to the buoyant bulls, and under its influence the market broke to 105. This report was soon contradicted, however, and the market quickly rallied to 10 and closed steady at 106 bid. The latest report from the Sheffield well was to the effect that it had. been brought in, but that its capacity had been greatly. exaggerated. It is probably a small one. How the report started Is not known, but it afforded the bears a good opportunity to get out of a hole. Altogether it was a lively day in oleaginous circles, trading being good ail alone the line. The longs rid themselves of a good deal of tho stuff when the bears assumed the responsi bility of carrying., Trading in puts and calls indicated a still higher level of nrlces to-dav. Saturday's clearings were 899,000 barrels. A telegram from Mannlngton, W. Va., re ceived yesterday afternoon, stated: Workmen began to drill out th,e last plugs in tho Hamil-- um on wen mis morning, ana tne wen will DO let in some time this evening. The Hamilton was the first and only well that has entered the sand in this region, and hundreds of leasers and oil operators are gathered here to watch the amount of the flow. The importance of the Hamilton well lies in the fact that it is at least 20 miles In advance of any other well in the "Big Injun" sand, and practically locates a new oil field. The majority of the operators believe it will not do less than 100 barrels a day. The fever for land speculation in this section continues, and hitherto unheard-of prices are paid for land within any reasonable distance of the oil line. Featores of the Market.

NirwYOBK, October 28. The stock market to-day was quiet to dull an feverish and gen erally weak throughout most of the day, and except fora fewBtocks which received support the entire list is lower to-night than on Satur day. The same favorable influences were still at work to-day to cause a further Improvement in values, but the small surplus shown by the banks on Saturday Sfter a wholesale contrac tion of loans was somewhat disappointing to would-be buyerswhile the demand from West ern centers for money still continues. The Beading statement of earnings for September was also quite disappointing and caused a dis position to sell the Coal stocks, which early made tleading and Lackawanna especially weak and factors for depression In the general list Mr. Gould was out In an interview, in which rather hopeful ideas were-given expression to, and this made the Gould stocks somewhat stronger than the general list after the Vander bilts, but the disposition to buy was effectually checked and the bears again lit upon Sugar. while the tendency to still discuss the North-! western-Union Pacific agreement in an un favorable light aided in making the Grangers weak and feverish. Denver, Texas and Ft Worth continued its advance in the early trad ing on what seemed to be inside orders, but it later collapsed completely and" led the decline which became more general and at the close for no apparent reason it shows one of the most important declines of the day. This, with the continued weakness in Sugar, weak ened the rest of the list and toward the close the downward movement became more pro nounced. The opening of the market was active and irregular, but tho first tendency of prices was downward, especially the Coal stocks, and though the movement was arrested for awhile. Sugar joined the downward movement and the entire list, while growing dull, was feverish and weak. The Vanderbilts and Gould stocks wero the stroug feature with Denver, Texas and Ft. Worth, but after 12 o'clock oven these stocks gave way and in the most cases the im provement was lost In the forenoon, while Denver, Texas and Ft Worth became the lead ing weak point Tho others yielded slowly but steadily, and the market finally closed quiet aud weak at about the lowest prices of the day. The entire list is lower, with a few unimportant excep tions, and Sugar Is down 2Jf, Denver, Texas and Ft Worth 1, Lackawanna add Chesa peake and Ohio seconds preferred, Burlington, Transcontinental and St Paul 1 per cent each. Railroad bonds were again moderately active, and In general showed a firm front, es pecially in the forenoon, but later the list weakened in sympathy wltb stocks and many declines were established. The conspicnously weak feature was the Kansas and Texas issues on the less favorable aspect of the reorganiza tion scheme, and ail three Issues are down 1 per cent The sales reached $1,494,000, out of which the Texas and Pacific seconds con tributed $208,000, the Kansas andTexasS103.000, and the Ft Worth and Denver firsts $102,000.
