Ieubbee boots in shout supply. ProTisions Steady, in Spite of the Sharp Decline in Hogs. riTTSBDEG ELEVATORS IN DEMAND OrncK or Pittsburg Dispatch, ) Tuesday, November Hi. I8S9. 1 November weather has been a great boost to the trade in rubber shoes and boots. Oar jobbers report & difficulty of late in hating orders filled, as factories are unusually veil cleaned out for this time of the year. An advance in prices at an early day is generally expected. In the jobbing shoe trade November has made the best showing of any month this year. The latter part of lat year made a good showing, bnt the year 18S9 opened with trade very slack. This slowness continued through the spring and summer. Our local trade did not ptcL up until September. Since the beginning of that month there has been unusual activity, and the trade is now at its best for this year. All siens point to a continuance of this ac ivity from now on to the close of the j ear. If these signs do not fail, the lost time of soring and summer will be fully made up, and Jhe year's record equal that of last year. Ontlook for Footwear. One of the leading jobbers thus puts the sit uation And outlook of the boot and shoe trade: "We have not been able ot late to secure from the factories enouch rubber boots to fill orders. One of the largest factories in the country, located at New Haven, is away behind on orders, and is advertising for workmen to help them out all over the country. We have been able to meet demands for other rubber Roods, Dot with some difficulty, and there js no accumulated stock, as we had a 5 ear ago at this time. In the general line of foot w ear we have been short of a full supply all fall, and have frequently found It difficult to till orders. At times we have been away behind in orders, and when SO to 100 cases came in, after a few days delay, the; were gobbled up like hot cake. "A result of this scarcity is seen in a stiffen ing of nrices, and prospects now are that peo ple in the f mure will pay more for footwear than they have been doing of late. A hard winter will certainly brine an advance in our goods, and, in any event, w e are sure to have hrm markets." Drysoods Get n Dumper. The effects of continuous rains and wretched costry roads Is as mnch felt In tbedrygoods trade as any other. Drummers have found very hard or rather soft roads to travel through Pittsburg's bailiwick the past few weeks. Orders have not been coming in so freely as was expected at the beginning of the month; but the weather has been entirely responsible for this. Notwithstandmcthis adverse influ ence, November's wholesale drycoids trade ex ceeds in volume that of last November, and the same is true of all the fall months. Said one of our leading jobbers this after noon: 'If we can but have a few weeks of sharp, frosty weather, we will easily make up for lost time, and in any event our volume of trade will go far beyond last fall. Prices of all staple drvgoods are stiffening, and the outlook is for a higher level of prices." Provision Down to Hard Pan. Advices received by one of our leading pork packers this rooming from Chicago, are that receipts ot hogs there to-day were 35,000 head, - and that the inside pnee there for the best was 13 7563 SO. At East Liberty the same range is quoted as at Chicago. A year ago at this time prices were fully 51 50 higher per 100 than now. There has been no perceptible effect on provi sion markets from this late drop in bogs. The truth is that prices of provisions had for some time been down to hard pan. and there was no lower deep. In order to a reasonable profit on hams, shonlders and lard at present rates, the outside price of hogs shonld be 13 50, and it is the opinion of many that this will be the level at which markets will settle. A large ueaier in nog products, predicted inrougn tnis column months ago that hogs would go below fi before the year closed. Many tbnbght the prediction a wild one. The same dealer now thinks that (3 50 will be reached, before the present downward movement is checked, and regards this as a sufficient price in view of the prices at which hog products must be sold. Elevators for tbe Far Wnl. The one concern of this city which manu factures elevators, namely the Marshall foun dry on Diamond street, reports no boom, but a full line of trade, and business fully up to anv previous season. A member of this old-time firm was seen to-day, and reported that orders were coming in freely, chiefly from tbe West. Two elevators are in process of construction by the Marsballs for a new pottery in Seattle, 'Washington State. Elevators for private dwellings are growing steadily in favor, and a goodly number of tbe finer residences of the city are furnished with these appointments. LITE STOCK MAKKETS.

A Better Feeling and More Basinets In tbe Wheat Pit Corn Higher Mess Pork Unsettled and Lower. Chicago A fair business was transacted in wheat to-day, and the feeling developed was rather stronger, with operators rather inclined to the bull side, the majority no doubt buying on the reactionlheory believing that some ad vance should follow after the recent decline, though some investment buying also occurred. There was fair buying lor December by shorts. A prominent trader was credited with selling fair quantities. The market opened c higher and held firmly throughout most of the ses sion, prices advancing e for December and z for May, and closed lc higher for December and Jc higher for May than yesterday.

In corn a moderate trade was transacted within narrow limits, and the feeling developed was on the whole a little firmer.

One house purchased about 500,000 bushels May and sold a like amount of December at a difference of 2Kc Tbe speculative maiket opened easy at about yesterday's closing prices, but soon be caino firmer on estimated light receipts, and this, together with the bulletin board showing rainy and cloudy weather In the southwest created a better feeling and .prices advanced ejj'c. ruled steady and closed HMo better than vesterday.

ALLEGHEKI BUILDING INSPECTOR An important real estate transaction, which had been hanging fire for some time, was closed np yesterday. George Sick, a brother of Mr. Dick, or the People's Store, bought a vacant lot 105x200 at the corner of Negley and Penn avenues, for which he paid J13.4E0, or a fraction over f 128 a front foot. It 1) understood that Mr. Sick will build on the property nest spring. , Information from reliable sources confirms the statement made in The Dispatch a few days since that business in mortgages is decidedly better than a month ago. For some time the applications were lor small amounts, ranging from $1,000 to J5.000; now they are for larger sums, with a view to making improvements in the spring. Some extensive operations in realty have been heard of within a day or two, for which money is being sought. The scarcity of small houses has set some of the capitalists and contractors to thinking and making in quiry for sites and material with a view to supplying this great want, and there is reason for believing that their Inquiries will re sult in large investments in that direction next spring. Money is plenty for loans of moderate amounts, and the persons who desire to place them are, as a general thfng, financiers and merchants who can spare from 51.000 to J10.000 from their earnings. This shows very clearly that business is active and profitable, and that the men who conduct it are not pinched for means. After the January settlements they will be in a position to Invest still more largely in realty and expand th'elr building operations. The strongest possible indication of the sub stantial condition of the real estate market is the fact that cool-headed business men of all classes are beginning to regard it as the best and safest investment, and are putting their money into it with a liberality which proves their confidence. Allegheny City Is large enough and import ant enough to have a building inspector. New bouses are going up so rapidly that there should be some one whose especial duty it is to look after th'em and see that they conform to the law. Life and property are Involved, and tbe small additional expense which such an oflicer would cost the city should not be allowed to stand in the way. The dnties of the office are now discharged and ably, too, so far as his time allows, by the City Engineer, but to require him to do double duty in affairs of the utmost importance to the community is asking entirely too much. Bestde, it involves a large element of risk, which the city cannot afford to assnme for the sake of saving afewbundreddolIarsannually.lt Is to be hoped that the movement on the Nortbside for the appointment of a building inspector will have a favorable result. The time for signing tbe agreement for changing moving day from April 1 to Slay 1, In order to make it available next spring, is rap idly passing. So far the attitnde of the land lords to this important matter has been one of indifference. It Is of great importance to a large part of the community, and should not be ignored. Tenants shonld bestir themselves atd bring owners to the scratch. Their tardi ness may spring from thoughtlessness rather than indifference, and a little moral pressure may be all that is necessary to induce tbem to give the proposition their approval. The ex periment Is worth trying. The increased and increasing expense of living in the more central and densely copulated parts of the city is causing the outer wards to build np rapidly, among others tbe Thirty fifth, better known as Duquesne Heights. The Assessor of that ward reports that 73 new houses have gone up there since his assessment a year ago, and many others are being built. Another advantage that this ward possesses is tha property is cheap compared with other locities. The location Is very desirable, with good schools, city water and natural gas, and it is very easily and cheaply reached. A BETTER FEELING. Some Stocks Score Adrances, While Other Hold Their Own. Although tbe sales of stocks were lighter yesterday than on the day before, a larger num ber of shares were traded in, and tbe feeling was better all around. Orders for most of tbe f ayontes are said to have been received within a day or two, some of them from the East. Tbe knowledge of this accounts for the im provement. Luster Mining Company was dealt in for the first time in a regular way. According to state ments recently made the property is in good condition, with an encouraging outlook. This has stimulated Interest in the stock, and started a good demand for it. The sales were 218 shares ranging from 15 in the morning to 14 in tbe afternoon. At the close it was held at Un pleasant Valley Hallway was another strong feature, selling at 23, the highest point ever reached. It closed at 23 bid and 24 asked. Philadelphia Qas was- fractionally stronger, but in light demand. Central Traction was firm and neglected. Pittsburg Traction about held its own. Citizens' was passed in silence. Of thesenropertiesitcanbe said that while they are dull on tbe surface there Is a good "demand for them outside, indicating that in vestors have confidence in their outcome. The rest of the list showed no particular change either way, the few fluctuations thai occurred being for insignificant fractions. Bids, offers and sales follow: VOKNtNG. ATTSBITOOlt. Kid.

Stocka Absorb the Attention of Wall Street An UnnccountnbleDrop In Saa Fran cisco Preferred Tenesssee Conl Brenka lis Record. Nrw York. November 28. The stock market was quiet in all its departments to-day, and while the general list was moved back and forth within the narrowest limits, there were a few marked movements by less than a half dozen stbeks, which gave the trading all tbe character it possessed. The operators now in terested In tbe matket bare assumed a waiting attitude, and the bears are afraid to make such drives as they have been in tbe habit of doing for the past two months, and confined their operations to special stocks which they have reason to believe are particularly vulnerable. There was less pressure upon Atchison to-day, though the stock was still the most active one on the list, and while it retired to still lower figures than it reached yesterday the liquida tion waa apparently ended. f There was some selling for Boston account, and also some short stock put out, but cover ing of shorts was a large proportion of tbe buy ing, with a liberal sprinkling of purchases for a turn on the bull side, New England was a marked contrast to Atchisou, and it was specially strong, especially In the afternoon, and it was one of tbe few stocks showing a ma terial advance this evening, while it was second only to Atchison in amount or business done. Ontario and Western, after occupying a prom inent position tor two hours, dropped out of sight almost entirely, and tbe demand for tbe stock suddenly disappeared. Among the other low-priced specialties Denver, Texas and Ft. Worth was tbe most prominent, and altera further recession to 86 it rallied and rose 3 per cent -on a large business. Missouri Pacific came in for some attention from tbe bears, but ! its nucxoations were unimportant tnrougnout the day and its final change insignificant. The weak points in the list were ban Fran cisco and Jersey Central, but the former was most interesting, the preferred stock espec ially. The .common soldat 20 against 24 the same time last week, and as low as 25 was bid for It. The preferred opened at 48K49i last evening, and declined X, finally closing at 46. Those who should know could give no reason for the drop, but there were numerous rumors afloat such as dissensions In tbe Board of Di rectors, tbe resignation of the President and the suspension of dividends, against which the officers say the question of dividend has not been discussed, and tbe earnings are greater tban ever before in tbe hi'toryjot tbet-'ouipaar. Tennessee Cal resumed its upward march and reached still higher figures tban ever be fore. The fueling was mixed at tbe opening, and tbe subsequent operations, except m the stock mentioned, were of little consequence. Tennessee CoM is up 3& JTw Eala4 Jjjj art Depyer, Texas and Ft. Worth , while Saa Francisco preferred is off 3 and Jersey Cbb- Railroad bonds were qnletandgenerallyfirm, bnt there was little feature, except the activity in Kansas and Texas issues. The fluctuations and final changes among the general list were entirely insignificant. The Pwr j financial article says: Whatever may be the temporary effects from day to day of the overouving by sanguine bulls, who spread their capital out too thinly, or the over selling of bears whd are betting on the incau tionsnessof the balls, there certainly has not been a time for several years when all the legi timate arguments in favor of higher prices for the majority of railroad stocks were so indispu table as now. Tbe money question lr almost only a temporary one, and the Onnsual profit ableness of general mercantile and industrial business this year Insures a largely increased demand for investment before next February. So far as rallrdad stocks mar invite this in vestment, there has certainly been a great im provement In tbclr prospects In the last two month, an lnlprovcment not only over the time previous to September J, bnt over the same period last year. The largo earnings of all the Vanderbilt roads are a significant featnre of general railroad business 'of the country, indi cating a prosperity which can scarcely fail to have its effect to advance the prices of stocks within a month or so.
