Fsris' Exposition Contributes Adornments to Onr Homes. THE HIDE aKD HARNESS SITUATION ' jJOFFXCX OF PlTTSBTTFO DISPATCH. S- 7 TueSdat. October!0. 1SS9. J The September and October trade of the Custom House on Penn avenue and Gar rison alley, has broken all previous records for these months. Said Secretary Keating in an interview to-day: "We never handled the quantity of goods in any one month that we handled in September." A large quantity of goods in the line of statuary, bronxes and paintings that were on exhibition at the Paris Exposition have found their way to our city, being purchased by visitors. One very fine bronze piece purchased at the Paris Exposition by a leading Fifth avenne jeweler reached here in time to do donble duty, having been for some weeks in our own Exposition. A number of fine paintings, which.graced the walls ol the Paris Exposition, and there received honorable mention, are now adorning some of Pittsburg's fine mansions, and yielded to Uncle Sam's revenues 30 per cent of their value, before passing through tbe Custom Honse. The receipts of cigars are steadily on the in crease. This is one of the lines of imported goods that never shows any decline, however hard the times, or stringent money may be. The trade In foreign cigars is having a special boom this fall, and in fact, the trade in U im ported poods was never in a healthier condition than at this time. The Government warehouse is unusually well cleaned up, as importers are ready to take away the goods so soon as It lands. tildes and Harness. The market is firm for heavy steer hides, hut Weak for light weights, as it has been for a month past. The general situation of trade re mains much the same as at the beginning of the month. Harness leather is dull, and stock in the hands of Allegheny tanners has been accumulating since tbe bediming of the month. Said a lead ing manufacturer of harness leather: "We are now between seasons, and look for stock to accumulate from now on throngh the month of November. According to' past ex perience trade will not be active until Decem ber 1. At present a direct cash offer would no doubt bring concessions on the part of tbe holder. Trade, however, is fully as good as it was a year ago at this time, ard there is less stock in the bands of tanners here, though output is larger now than then." When the revival comes, as it usually does about the beginning of winter, our tanners here will be among tbe first to reap the bene fits, as their product is at a premium in the world's markets.

Wheat The market opened dull, easy and steady for awhile and later became more active and weak at declining figures. Early trades were about c under closing figures of yesterday, held until ll o'clock within lie range, but after that broke off Jic, with Ji'c reaction later, and closing e lower for De cember and a lower for May than yesterday. There was quite a pressure, to realize on, the part of holders, and many of the early buyers let go their holdings, finding the market would not bulk Some of the traders who have ad hered to the long side at the higher prices have, it is claimed, turned to the selling side. Tbe weakness was attributed to the continu ous liberal receipts and the weakness in the European markets. Influences, true, were mainly one-sided and favored the short inter est, hut prices are nearing an export basis, and hile they may eventually go lower there Is such a thing as tbe market becoming oversold. xne majority ot traaers lean to me soon sine, and when an effort is made to cover a reaction may result.

Corn A moderate speculative and fair ship ping business was transacted in this market, with the feeling quite strong earlv in the ses sion, but as the day advanced an easier tone was manifested, and the early strength was not maintained. The speculative market opened firm at HHc above the closing prices of yes terday, and influenced some by small receipts, was steady for a time, but later offerings were larger, due to tbe weakness in wheat and bright clearing weather, became quiet and closed a shade lower than yesteruay. Oats A stronger feeling developed, and, al though the volume of transactions was light and below tbe average, prices ranged higher. Mess pork Not much feeling was exhibited. Loccl manufacturers were inclined to sell for November and January delivery, vnl prices de clined 2025c on the former and710c on tbe latter. October was fn some requeM from the short interest, and prices ruled 1525c higher. Lard A firmer leellng was developed, but trading was within very moderate limits. Shorts were anxious to purchase a few lots for Octo ber delivery, and opening sales were made at 15c advance, followed by a f urtherappreaatlon ot 10c Later a reaction occurred, and prices receded 20c.

A Nation of Aborigines Out West That is Fairly Boiling in "Wealth. EX-HAI0R HEWITTS HOTEL BUILDING Pittsburg real estate owners have it in their power to make or unmake the market. If they become unreasonable in their de mands business will fall off; if they shall chow a disposition to restrict prices to a fair valuation sales will increase. It is gratifying to know thai exaggerated ideas of values are the exception, not the rule. The failure to carry ont a bnll movement on Penn avenne is likely to prove a salutary lesson. Buyers, as a rule, are willing to pay fair prices for property, but when their overtures are met by fancy figures, they become discouraged and retire from tbe market. In this way needed improvements are re tarded or abandoned altogether, and the growth of the city hindered. This is a crit ical period in the real estate business in' Pittsburg. Capitalists are just awaken ing to its importance as an investment, and it would be poor policy to meet them on the very threshold with exorbitant demands. Holders of realty, therefore, should move cautiously, and so avoid the mistake of kill ing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Occasional sales of property for special pur poses to men loaded down, with money, and who care very little what tbey have to pay, as mentioned in a transaction a few days ago, where 20,000 was given for a property worth abont half as much, .are entirely outside the market, and shonld not be urged by holders as precedents. V Pittsburg Is a wealthy community, but it will not bear comparison in that respect with the Osage tribe of Indians, whose reservation is between Kansas and the Creek country. They are five times as rich as the average of Ameri cans, ten times as rich as tbe average of En glishmen, and tbe French and Italians are paupers in comparison. There are among the Osages no penniless people, and none in want except that insatiable want that always wants more There are 1,501 of them, according to last year's census. They havo in the United States Treasury 7,758,691 of their own money, drawing 7 per cent interest. This amounts to a capital of 5,175 apiece for the whole nation- men, women and children. But beside this they have 1,470,000 acres of land, equal to just about LOOO acres apiece. This land is mostry-tfine and arable, and would sell for an average ot 810 an acre, or 510,000 for each Individual's portion, Tbis makes each individual Osage Indian worth $15,172. Each family possesses 60,000 on an average, and tbe head of it, if he be industrious and enterpris ing, can grow 10,000 worth of crops a year on his 4,000 acres of land. He is raised perma nently above want and above fear of want. Hon. A. S. Hewitt, ex-Mayor of NewYork, Is erecting a dwelling bouse at his country seat, at Ringwood. Passaic county, N. J., which for cheapness, originality, durability and fire proof qualities will probably excel any struc ture ever erected. Mr. Hewitt first erected a balloon f tame; this he covered inside and out with woven wire fire-proof lathing. On this he placed a moderately thick roat of adamant plaster, serving the roof in the same manner. As a result he will have a stone house, posi tively fire, damp and vermin proof, at less than one-half the cost of a cheap frame build ing and a thousand times more durable. Tbe suggestion of cheapness in Mr. Hewitt's device has a popular flavor for this as well as other. communities, and if the claims set up for it be fully sustained, it shonld be given a trla'l by a local builder and its merits thoroughly r tested. Whaf Pittsburg chiefly needs Is cheap houses, but they must be good ones. Believing that the course of events has shown that the legal half holiday on Saturday is not an nnmitigated pleasure, 'New York brokers have again started a petition which will be presented to Governor David B. Hill in due course, asking that the Saturday half holiday law be repealed and Wall street be given the advantages which three hours extra business would yield. Tbe petition is being widely signed. It is stated that 9 out of every 10 commission brokers prefer returning to tbe old practice of keeping shop open between 10 and 3 to putting up the shutters at noon. Should the change be made in New York it is quite probable that Pittsburg brokers will make a similar move. Considerable of tbe lumber used for building purposes in Pittsbnre comes from West Vir ginia. An Allegheny City firm has recently built a large sawmill in Randolph county and is building a railroad which will open up one of the finest lnmber districts in tbe State. The timber has a healthy appearance, stands close together, and is, as a rule, remarkably tall and straight. The number of large trees is surpris ing. A recent letter from Randolph county says: "The largest yellow poplar which I have measured in this county is 22 feet 10 inches around; the largest black walnut, 14 feet 10 inches (though stumps of this timber, where the trees have recently been taken, are found here over 20 feet around); the largest red oak, 17 feet 9 inches around; the largest wild cherry, 11 feet 6 inches around; the largest white ash. 12 feet around, the largest white oak, 12 feet 3 Inches; the largest black birch, 8 feet 4 inches: the largest yellow linden tree, 12feet around; the largest maple tree, 13 feet 4 inches around. Of course these figures are not the average tim ber, but serve to show tbe full development of the timber in this climate." w 9 England no longer spurns American ideas In a recent letter from there the following oc curs:' "It is a gratifying indication that our iron masters have, during the depressed period which preceded the current revival, learned the lesson of adversity, that tbey are now tak ing a very lively interest in all manner of schemes for increasing the efficiency, and re ducing tbe cost of their methods of produc tion. Tbe reports of our various technical in stitutes show that every proposal which has these ends in view receives the readiest atten tion in metallurgical circles just now. The ap plication of electricity to mining and to metal manufacture is one of the directions in which we may expect to see English invention follow America's lead more closely in tbe future. "We recognize that great steps have already been taken In America toward the employment of electricity as a motive power not only for street traction, but also in workshops and for general industrial purposes. If one may judge from the increasing attention the matter is re ceiving in this country it seems likely that wa shall soon see a considerable approach over here to American methods." SOME IMPROVEMENT. Natural Gns Stocks Shotv a Disposition to Move Up. . Philadelphia Gas was practically stronger yesterday. It opened at 31 and closed at 31 Philadelphia Gas Trust was in demand at 30j. It sold off 'Change at 30. Tbe other natural gas stocks showed disposition to follow Phila delphia in its upward movement. Pleasant Valley Railway was higher. Elec tric was wanted at 48, but was held at half a point above that figure. Lawrence Bank was offered at 60, without takers. The tractions were featureless. A broker unbosomed himself thus: The season is so far advanced without any marked improvement in business -that J have about given up all hope of anything better this jear. The trcable is that almost everybody is carry ing sweks bought at higher prices and they don't want to sell at a loss, and of course they are not in a position to buy. Thll blocks busi ness."

WHAT BANKERS JIKB DOING. A Good Demand for Muney. but Nothing Kerr Id Conditions. Business at the banks' yesterday was satisfac tory in character and volume, but nothing in the way of new features was discovered. -There was. as has been the case all along, a good supply of funds for which' there was a moderate demand at 67 per cent.

The exchanges were 2,110,875 01 and tbe balances 329 233 07. Money on can at New York yesterday was tight, ranging from 6 t'o 10 per cent; last loan. 6; closed at 8 bid.

In the afternoon the former pound ed the market without mncb selling and suc ceeded In lowering tbe price for a time, but tbe local bulls came to the rescue and the mar ket recovered most of the loss, closing steady. There were sales of cash oil at SIOS; the highest price of regular, as a precaution against accidents. Monday's clearings were 1,978,000 barrels.---Nothing additional was re ceived In regard to the Sheffield well. It is known, however, that It $ not dangerous.

Railroad Shares Store Feverish Than Ac live The Conl Slocks nnd Sugar Trust Conspicuously Weals Early Loiies Partly Recovered. New Yoek. October 21 The stock market to-day was active in spots, but tbe general list was quiet to dull, and feverishness marked the dealings from opening to close, while the coal stocks and trusts were weak and the Vander bilts. Union Pacific and specialties were strong, all within narrow limits. Tbe news of the day was not importanr, and while there seemed to be a great'indisposition to buy, the selling was done principally by tbe traders, though the few weak stocks were tbe objects of bear attacks. There was considerable support to the market from the covering of shorts, aided by some lit tle purchasing by commission houses. The matket was narrow and uninteresting through out. .. Sugar tooku'p the greatest amount of atten tion, and the selling of that stock at the open ing was very heavy, supposed by some to be In side offerings, but which had tbe appearance of another bear drive to others. The stock, after opening only K lower, at 6 rapidly re ceded to -67. and. after a material recovery, dropped to 67K- There were undoubtedly large covering orders executed at the decline, and the recovery from the lowestprices extend ed-to 3 pet? 'cent, and It closed strong at 70. Cotton Oil was strong when Sugar was weak, and weak when Sugar was strong; and in the last hour it was sold down to 41, against 42 at the opening. The Coal stocks were the weak spot in the regular list, and persistent efforts were made to get Reading and Lackawanna down, with con siderable success in the latter, though the final detllne was not important. There was notable support of Reading by the interest whtcn has stood behind It for a long time. TbeVander bilts were strong, but moved within narrow limits, and failed to make any material im provement, while among tbe specialties Den ver, Texas and Fort Worth and Colorado coal were conspicuous, the latter after a material decline at tho opening. The dealings were marked by great irregularity and fever ishness from the opening, which showed differ ences from last evening's figures of from to K Per cent, and while the early tendency In the regular list was to advance, the changes from strength to weakness were frequent and rapid. The general result of the morning's business was to leave the active stocks at a shade under first prices, the only really weak spot being tbe Coal stocks and Sngar. There was a more settled tone to the market after noon, and the early losses were Generally recoveied with something in addition, but the pressure upon the list in the last hour accompanying the de cided weakness in Cotton Oil made a rather heavy close. The final changes are irregular, but in most cases in the direction of higher prices, though while Sugar rose W, and Denver, Texas and Fort .Vorth 1 per cent, Cotton Oil is down l'i and Northern Pacific 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were again comparatively dull, the sales reaching only 1,050,000, and no active feature was to be noticed.

In view of the light offerings ot Philadelphia Gas Company stock its advance yesterday caused no surprise. It is in good shape now for a aeciuea raiiy. The condition of general trade remains very satisfactory. The rush of the fail season will soon be over, and the general verdict is likely to ne mat tne results were exceptionally iavor able. ' These is a fair demand for natural gas com pany bonds, showing that they have not alto gether lost their interest. Tbey have an in trinsic value which makes them attractive to careful investors. , Whitney 4 Stephenson's New York cor respondent wired yesterday: "The fear that a bullish speculation would precipitate a mone tary panic does not seem to be well founded. According to the very best authorities on tbe subject, both call and timemoney may be ob tained In any reasonable amount for 6 per cent.
