DEJIAXD FOR FLOWEKS EXCELLENT
Office of Pittsbubg Dispatch,
x eidat. December is, i&a. J
There are few changes worthy of note in
market basket materials for the week past.
Staple meats move along in the old ruts.
Choice cuts bring the same old prices, not
withstanding the fact that cattle and hogs
ore fully 2c. per pound lower than they were
a year ago.
The drop in live stock so far has been of
little beneht to the consumer. Tenderloins
and choice roasts are the same price now,
when beeves are selling at $4 30, as when
they brought 56 50 per hundred. To be sure,
hides, offals and boiling meat are all reduced,
but choice Cuts are held at the same old Se
ll res. If butchers had any profits a year aso,
tueyishonld be reaping handsome dividends
now.
Good Fish Weather.
In the line of ocean products weather is
favorable to supply. The time is here for
f roxen fish, and dealers are for the most part
furnishing the frozen article. Soft weather,
however, enables the fishermen on the lakes to
secure stock later in the season tnan usual, and
fresh fish are sail to be had.
At the Diamond Market vegetable stalls a
quiet w eek's trade is reported. Tropical fruits
are in supply beyond demand. Florida
oranges have not been so low for years at this
time as they are now.
A leading dealer In vegetables and fruit re
ports that nnninkins are In verv noor demand.
Bald he: "I do not know what has come over
, people in this city, as there is no longer any
hankering for pumpkin pie. There is nothing
in the pie line as delicious or healthy, but some
how our customers do not seem to call for
pumpkins of late." Soft weather the past week
has had a depressing influence on game and
poultry. In both lines markets are i eak.
Batter Slovinc Upward.
The butter movement Is upward. Choice
creamery butter is hnn at quotations. But
tenne is handled to the extent of three or four
carloads weekly In Pittsbnrg. and the result is
slow markets for country butter. It will re
quire close inspection to discover the differ
ence between the spurious and genuine in but
ter lines. The housewife wbo pays 30c to 35c
per pound for butter which is not butter will
be swindled to the extent of 13c to 20c per
pound. If she attempts to cook with the spuri
ous article a discovery will be made.
Florists report trade very lively at the ad
vanced prices. Society is evidently getting in
its work, and from now on till after the New
Tear the demand tor floral beauties promises
to absorb all that our florists will be able to
furnish. During Christmas week supply has
not been up to demand for years past.
Following are Drices of market basket filling

Wheal Declines Under the Influence of
Large OHerlncs Critical" Condition
of the Crop In California
Pork Barely Steady.
Chicago Wheat Good trading charac
terized the speculative market on the
whole to-day, though at times a quiet feeling
prevailed. At intervals trading was very ac
tive The offerings were very large and a good
deal of long wheat closed out. Some short
selling no doubt occurred, bat the largest shorts
took advantage of the1 situation and covered
freely. It was a sort of evening up. It was
claimed that parties who had bought yesterday
and day before on expectation of reaching
higher prices, finding the market did not ad
vance, sold freely as well as longs at higher
prices.
European market advices were generally of a
weaker tenor. It was rumored that 40,000 bush
els of wheat had been worked yesterday at
Minneapolis for direct export via Zoo line and
Boston. New York about noon wired no new
bnsiness export can be done excepting at ad
vance in freights. A dispatch was received
from California saying that the heavy rams
were placing the wheat crop in critical condi
tion. The receipts at Minneapolis and Dulnth
were 421 cars, against 812 cars the correspond
ing day last week. For the five days this week
tne receipts at tne two points mentioned aggre
gated 1 685,339 bushels, against 2,303,000 same
period last week.
The market opened at about yesterday's
closing figures, held barely steady for a while,
and then under larce offerings declined lQlUe
for May and lj-fc for December, closing lc
Ion er than yesterday.
Corn was exceedingly dull, trading being
light and almost exclusively local. The feeling
was stead, and values showed little change
compared with yesterday's, 'final quotations be
ins about the same.
Oats were weaker and a shade lower, due to
the decline in wheat and also to free offerings
by longs. The demand, however, was light and
holders were not disposed to force sales.as such
a course would have resulted in materially
lower prices being recorded. Hay was the
principal future traded in, but fluctuations
were only Kc.
Mess pork Trading was only moderate and
the feeling was Steadier. Prices were advanced
57c, but with moderately free offerings a re
duction of 2K5c was submitted to, and the
market closed quiet.
Lard Prices were advanced about 2c early
in the day, but settled back again and closed
steady.
Short Rib Sides There was a fair trade and
the feeling was firmer. Prices were advanced
2Kc early, bnt the appreciation was not sup
ported. The leading futures ranged as follows:

BI& 'DEAL IK REALTY.
Valuable Property of the Late Gen.
Sweitzer, on Fourth Avenue,
PURCHASED BY CAPT.TAKDEGEIFT
"Who Will Ornament It With a Magnificent
Ten-Story Office Bailding.
THE OLD HAMILTON HOTEL X0T SOLD
A report which obtained curreneyyester
day, to the effect that Henry A. Weaver &
Co. had negotiated the sale of a large prop
erty on Fourth avenue, between "Wood and
Smithfield streets, to Captain J. J. Vande
grift for 5120,000, was ascertained bycalling
upon Mr. "Weaver, wb.6 had the property in
charge, to be correct, but he stated at the
same time that the publication of the fact
just now would be premature, as the title to
the property had not passed. Nevertheless,
as the transaction had become street rumor, he
reluctantly consented to give the facts.
The property In question was owned by Mrs.
General Sweitzer and her sister, Mrs. O'Hara
Denny, and comprises 10L 103 and 105 Fourth
avenue. It has a frontage of 60 feet on Fourth
avenuo by 120 in depth. ThebuUdlngs are oc
cupied by insurance and real estate agents.
From another source it was learned that
Captain Vandegrif t will, next spring, put up a
magnificent ten-story building on the property,
to be used as offices for the pipe line and other
large Interests with which he is connected. He
had contemplated erecting a $100,000 building
on his lot adjoining the Oil Exchange, but it
being only a 25-foot front, too narrow for such
a costly structure, he found it advantageous to
make the change.
In regard to the statement that the Hamil
ton Hotel property had been purchased by the
Amerlcus Club, Mr. Weaver said that such a
deal is talked of, but is far from consumma
tion, there being difficulties in the way which
make the sale quite uncertain.
There are divergent views In England in re
gard to the experimental tin plate plant In this
city. The following Is taken from a Wolver
hampton letter published in the current num
ber of the American Manufacturer:
"Your experimental tin plate plant Is still
e voting considerable interest among our Welsh
and other tin plate makers. As a specimen of
how widening opinions differ on the matter, I
may give two extracts. The first of these Is a
recent letter to a Welsh cotemporary by a
Pittsbnrg iron and steel maker. He says the
tin plate makers of the Principality are report
ed to the States to be very excited in conse
quence of the alleged successful working of
the experimental tinning plant at the recent
Pittsburg Exposition. 'It may interest that
section of your community,' the writer contin
ues, to inow through your journal that the
whole thing was a dismal failure. I have not?
the time nor the inclination to go into details
and explain the reason why it was a failure, but
will simply ask those who doubt that which I
Eaytocome out and investigate the truth of
my statements. Nor your people need not be
alarmed at any American competition in that
commodity tor many years to come,'whether the
tariff be increased to 2 cents per pound or not.'
"It is somewhat singular that while a Pitts
burg man decries the project, an English au
thority should praise it. A London cotempo
rary publishes to-day an article upon the sub
ject, In which it says: This is an enterprise upon
which the American mind has long been bent,
and it is not easy to see what serious difficulty
stands in the way of its taking root in the
country. It the undertaking were delayed
throngh the lack of skilled labor, that is an ob
stacle which a few months could easily remove,
for there must be many hundreds ot good
workmen in South Wales wbo would be found
ready to cross the Atlantic for the higher
wages which their services would command in
the United States. Then there is the certainty
that as soon as ever the industry is fairly
started, the Government will be willing enough
to give it all needful protection by placing a
prohibitive duty on Imported tin plates.' There
is a very agreeable prospect for the American
tin plate manufacturer, but Ittis a very doleful
one for the British maker, continues the writer,
who is at last confronted by the impending loss
of a market of which he has for many years en
joyed the exclusive monopoly. This is an
event which has been long predicted, but its
realization, though often threatened, has teen
delayed until now.
"The article In question concludes as follows:
'According to the statement of a Pittsburg co
temporary, this new departure was success
fully entered upon a "few weeks since at the ex
hibition, which is being held in that city, and
an article has been turned out which it Is said
completely eclipses the material produced in
South Wales. This latter allegation is proba
bly a harmless exaggeration on the part of the
Secretary ot the newly-formed American
Tinned Plate Association, bnt, as regards the
successful inauguration of the industry itself,
theie is but too much reason to fear that tha
narrative is accurate enough. The plant is in

One of the most interesting features ot the
building trade during the year that is drawing
to a close has been the large number of small
houses erected, ranging in cost from $800 to
$1,200. Of those costing $5,000 and upward
comparatively few were built; for the reason
that so many high-priced buildings were
erected last year and the year before as to
somewhat glut the market. The large major
ity of the small houses were built by persons
who own and are living m tbem. Very few of
them were put up for investment or rent. They
are the homes of working people, a fact that
speaks volumes fox the prosperity of the com
munity. It should not be taken for granted, however,
that this acquisition to the number of small
houses in the city and its environs supplies the
demand. Far from it It is only a beginning.
A Fourth avenue real estate dealer said yester
day that be could fill, at once, several hundred
such houses if he had them. The work of
building them, therefore, should not be allowed
to flag. The prosperity and growth of the city
are involved. People will not come here un
less assured of comfortable houses to live In at
moderate rents. There is material here for
capitalists and builders to think over.
Recent changes in hardware have been cumu
lative in effect, and are fast bringing a new
order of things Into existence In builders'
hardware many of the new designs are re
markable for their beauty of finish and artistic
conception. The trimming of a house with
the proper hardware a subject so long neg
lectedhas now assumed its true importance,
and is as much the subject of personal choice
on the part of the owner as anything else con
nected with the building. In bronze goods es
pecially there Is an increasing demand for the
best and handsomest that can be made the
question of price being no consideration what
ever. The new steel lock has made a favor
able lmpresslcn, and seems destined to hold a
permanent place. The substitution of mild
steel for wrought iron has gone on at a very
rapid rate. In butts and hinges it is universal
it has partly made its way Into bolts and
tacks, and in numerous small articles it has
proved its superiority. Owing to the advance
in prices the prospects of the steel nail are
brighter, "but the question of gauge still re
mains unsettled. The new gauge has been
adopted by only a few mills, and it must receive
the verdict of the consumer before it can bs
said to be a success.

Only Forty Sharei or Stock Sold on'Change
- Yesterdajr.
There was hardly enough business In the
stock market yesterday to establish quotations.
Central Traction and Philadelphia Gas were
the only things handled, 80 shares of the
former and 10 of the latter satisfied tha de
mand. Neither of the active stocks showed
any positive change.
The drift of sentiment in regard to the sale
of the Philadelphia Company building was
that it was a wise step and would strengthen
the property on the market.
Wheeling Gas tort ground, 22 being tha best.

A broker remarked: "Orders are as scarce

will he a change for the better after New

The oil market yesterday was, perhaps, the
dullest of thefweek very little doing, and the
range being narrow. Professionals bad it all to
themselves, as usual. The opening was 104;

Pittsburg tried to infuse somelife into the
market by buying a few small bundles, in which
sue had the assistance of Oil City, but the suc
cess was not commensurate with the effort.
New York was bearish, and Bradford on the

Trust, Which Is Thoncht to
Have Toncbed Bottom.
New YOBi&DecemberlS. The stock market
continues to show a steady decrease in the vol
ume of business, and to-day's receipts, espe
cially for the stocks of the regular list; was
smaller than anything seen in months. Jibe
nntisted depaetment was more accurate In the
aggregate, bnt the Increase was all in Sugar,
which was more traded in than on any other
day this week, with the exception of Tnesday.
The stock seemed to touch bottom to-day at
55, when large buying orders came in and a
substantial gain of over 4 per cent was made,
though the Improvement was, not retained at
the close. The buying seemed for the most
part to be covering; but there were heavy or-
ders executed for Boston account, and large
blocks of borrowed stocks were turned to-day.
Indicating that the covering yesterday was ma
terial The outside buying stimulated investment
by the room traders In the long side, and the
reaction was due more to realizing by this ele
ment than to anything else. Chicago Gas was
depressed at first on reports that a plan for the
readjustment of the company's affairs had
fallen through, but a complete rally occurred
later In the dav. A report of the business of
the Missouri Pacific Railroad for the year
ending June 30 was published by one of the
news agencies, and which It wa claimed was
official, that the company had failed to earn
even the fixed charges for tbat,time by some
thing less than $100 000. The publication may
'hate some little influence upon the stock, but
extreme fluctuation for the day was only per
cenVppd U closed only per cent lower than
last evening.
The Only activity in the railroad list was in
Lackawanna, which was stronger, but moved
up only a fraction. A report that the deal in
Tennessee Coal was over for thelpresent-esult-ed
in some selling of that stock, and it lost 2
per cent, but recovered 1, The most important
movements, however, were in Memphis and
Charleston, which spurted up 5 per cent on the
declstou of the Supreme Court of Alabama,
prohibiting the Eastern from voting the major
ity of the Memphis and Charleston stock which
it holds, and throwing the control of the com
pany to the minority stockholders.
There was renewed selling of the Chicago and
East Illinois stocks, especially by Boston par
ties, and the common dropped nearly 3 per
cen most of which was recovered, but the rest
scored a drop of 6V per cent, only 2 of which
'was regained. The general list was quiet to
dull throughout. Opening prices advanced
slightly, but the gains were afterward gener
ally lost, and the market closed dull and steady
at close to opening figures.
Railroad bonds were dull and presented no
feature of interest, while the tone of tho deal
ings was generally steady. A few marked
declines were scored, among the Inactive issues,
but they are few in number.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
While there is nothinglike abcom in produce
lines, Friday's trade was an improvement on
what we have been having for a few days past.
The disturbing clement of markets has been
the soft weather. A few frosty mornings would
immensely stimulate trade. Choice grades ot
dairy products are very firm at quotations.
Soft weather has given a black eye to game and
poultry trade. Tropical fruits are also de
pressed by the same atmospheric influences.
Potatoes are a shade firmer, owing to light re
ceipts; Sweet potatoes are very firm. Other
vegetables are qniet. Apples should now be at
their best. But for some reason markets are
sluggish. Supply ot fresh country eggs is not
up to demand.

Sugars are weaker and coffee is stronger.
Mr. j. H. Labaree, a member of the well
known coffee firm of New York, was in the
city to-day and gave his views of the situation,
substantially as follows: "In the past three
years we have had two short coffee crops. Last
year the yield was above average. This year it
has been one-third below average. There can
hardly be a decline of prices before the new
crop begins to come in, which will do next July.
Tho paper money of Brazil is now worth more
than gold in spite of the heavy debt of that
country. Unless some disturbing elements ap
pear which cannot now be foreseen there will
be no change In coffee markets in the near
future, certainly no decline. All Brazilian cof
fees are oaid for in London, and there will be
no decline in prices unless Exchange declines.
r and there are no signs of this now In sight.
Consumption of coffee has now overtaken pro
duction, and from present outlook the world's
supply will by next November fall to three
quarters the average of the past few years."
In the interview with Mr. Labaree it was de
veloped that Germany has imposed a duty of 5c
ger pound on coffee, and France lie In Great
ritain tbe duty is about 2c per pound. There
would be some kicking on this side of tbe pond
if we had a He tax added to every pound of
coffee consumed.
