A leading jobber of sweitxer cheese re
ports that volume of trade is larger than at
this time' last year, bat prices are lover all
along the line at least lo per pound. Said
he:
"We were looking for onr goods to go up
ibutwere disappointed. The open weather
liiasenablea factories to seep running mucn
longer than their average time. "When
.(markets are treat and prices droop, as at
present, .retailers puisne the hand-to-month
policy and bay only what they need. As a re-
Isult jobbers are compelled to carry larger
stocks this .season than usual. When markets
fare weak we have to bear the burden. When
iithlogs are moving upward retailers bny more
; Jlreely."
As an evidence of the caution of retailers this
season one leading Jobber of domestic cheese
" said to-day: "The amount of cheese carried oy
i -jobbers here at this time is more than 3,000

iTwo weeks ago the number of through cattio

2,400. These figures indicate that other places

Bayers were scarcer than usual. Itisprob-

i cluing attention to Christmas turkeys and
uistocklngs. Certain it Is that regular haters
Pwere conspicuously absent.
The best price obtained for carload lots was
51 30. a drop of 1015c from last week. The
Jgrade, however, of the best offered this week
was below the best of last week's offerings.
Handy butcher cattle weighing from 1,100 to
1.300 pounds were fully 10c better than the same
grade a w eek ago owing to short supplies. The
run of sheep and lambs was light and demand
was light. Last week's prices were maintained,
but no more. Very choice wethers were firm
on account of their scarcity. Hogs are weak

No Vte In the Wheat Pk-Prkea Weake
Under Liberal Meriao-Ceni aid
Oats Weaker Perk. Almost
Lifeless.
Chicago, December 28. The market in
wheat early ruled weak, and after opening at
about Tuesday's closing figures, prices gener
ally sagged of He then advanced c, ruled
steady, closing about Via lower. Only a moder
ate business was transacted, with the North
west represented as doing some selling early
and buying later. Eastern telegraphic commu
nication was interfered with, the wires being
down on account of storms, andno foreign
news was received, It being holiday season
abroad. ,
The early weakness was not attributable to
any special reason other than there were fair
offerings and a limited demand. Bat around
82c for May there were some baying ordeis re
ceived. Tbe demand was stimulated some by
reports from the Southwest that the Hessian
fly abounded in some of the wheat fields in
central Missouri, and that damage to tbe grow
ing wheat bad apparently been done.
There was large trading in corn, the volnme
of business being unusually heavy and the
tendency again forlower prices. The continued
fine weather and the liberal receipts here and
in the Southwest were the chief weakening
factors. Large selling orders for May and July
for country account were on the market, and
tho sharp decline was due to the execution of
tbe same, tbe local crowd giving the market but
little support. The market opened K6c
lower than the closing prices of yesterday, was
weak, sold off in all KKC rallied Hc,
ruled steady, closing &o lower than Tues
day. M
Oats were active, but weaker and lower.
Fine weather, moderate receipts, lower prices
for corn and free selling for May by local and
outside parties, had a depressing effect on
values. Prices receded Xc the market
closing quiet at about inside figures.
A fairly active trade was reported in pork,
and the feeling was weak during tbe greater
portion of the session. Prices ruled 7K10c
lower and closed easy.
Lard Trading was only moderate. Prices
rnled 2K5c lower, and the market closed
steady at medium figures.
Trading was more active in ribs, bat the feel
ing was easy. Prices ruled 2c lower and tbe
market closed quiet

ALBRIGHT PROSPECT.
BasiMee Hen See, Nothing bat Good
in the Outlook for Kext Year.
BIG DEAL IN THE FIRST WAED.
A Doable Investment Made Twenty lean
Ago Turns Oat Handsomely.
FIFTX MW BOUSES FOE EDGEW00D
Business was not of the rushing sort yes
terday, but there was enough of it to show
that it had not been entirely knocked out
by the holiday. Tuesday's sales made a
splendid showing in the Clearing House
report.
Ihe most pleasing and satisfactory feature
of the situation is the feeling of confidence
in the future, which pervades all classes.
Bankers, brokers, merchants and manufac
turers alike are animated by high hopes
that the coming year will surpass all previous
ones in the volnme of trade.
The possibilities of 1890 are boundless, and
there is nothing in sight to warrant anticipa
tions of disaster of any kind.
The reported sale ot a lot of ground to the
Union Storage Co., mentioned in The Dis
patch yesterday, was fully confirmed later In
the day. The deal was made through the real
estate firm ot W. A. Herron A Sons. The lot is
situated at the corner of Liberty street and
Second avenue, and its dimensions are 60x160
feet. The exact price could not be learned, but
It Is understood to approximate S30.000. As
stated, the storage company will utilize .the
ground for a large and magnificent warehouse
which, as estimated, will cost S100.000.
This property was sold about 18 months ago
to a Michigan floor firm as a site for a ware
house for S22.50Q, bnt they changed their minds
about coming to Pittsburg and disposed ot tbe
lot to the present owners at a handsome profit.
An East End capitalist, who owns several
acres of land near Edgewood, is making ar
rangements to build 60 bouses there next
spring.'for sale or rent. As they will be con
venient to Swlssvale, where a large number of
men are employed at the Switch and Signal
Works, and close to Braddock andWilkins
burg, the Investment will no doubt prove a suc
cess. V
A few months ago an interview with a prom
inent city architect was published in The Dis
patch, in which he stated that the time was
not far off when houses would be built of iron,
instead of wood. He gave as a reason for this
opinion that the lumber supply was becoming
scarcer every year, and would eventually com
mand such prices as to make it more costly
than iron.
According to European advices, the construc
tion of Iron houses has already become a large
and Important industry in England, Belgium,
France and parts of Germany and Italy, and is
beginning to receive attention in the United
States. This is a matter of great importance to
Pittsburg, which, from her supremacy in the
iron trade, should lead m every now industrial
movement in which iron Is a component part.
A prominent life insurance agent of this city,
who lives near Point Breeze buns up bis stock
ing along with those of bis five boys, Christmas
Eve.
"What do you think I gotf" be remarked yes
terday. "A dressing gown or a smoking cap, or a gold
headed cane 7"
"No, indeed, I got a monkey on a stick," be
replied, as he laughed heartily at the joke his
young hopefuls had played on him.
There were two very much surprised people
at McKeesport Christmas morning. They are
Germans, and are man and wife. When tbey
settled in McKeesport, the man without bis
wife's knowledge, made an investment which
was to run for 20 years. Later on, the wife hav
ing some spare money, did the same thing with
out her husband's knowledge. It was to ran 15
years.
The time expired on Tuesday, and each, still
withont the other's knowledge, received a
checkiorthe amount duo $500 to the husband,
and 1,000 to tbe wife. Ihe hnsband put his
check in bis wife's stocking as a Christmas
gift. Sbo did the same for her husband. When
they were found Christmas morning there was
a surprise all round, and tbe story leaked out.
The deals were made through a Pittsburg in
surance firm. t
Ko tenant should more into a house until sat
isfied that the building Is in good sanitary re
pair. It is much easier to get repairs made be
fore occupancy than afterward. Besides there
is the danger to health, even if the unsanitary
conditions are endured but a short time. Don't
rely on getting damages from the landlord.
That is not what you want You want health
and no amount of damages will secure that.
Know that the residence is sanitarily perfect,
and the sense of security from disease which
you will feel will repay all trouble.
The citizens of Boston are desirous of im
proving their building laws- A committee hav
ing the matter in hand are discussing the bost
methods of guarding against fire. It has been
said that the recent fire was caused by electric
wires. Whether that fact is established or
not, the dangers from that source will be pro
vided for. It is already intimated that insur
ance companies will insist on tbe insertion of a
fusible plug on every telephone or telegraph
wire entering a building, and no material capa
ble of being carbonized will be allowed on J
switch boards and cnt-onTs.
TWO GOOSE EGGS.
Nothing Doing la Stocks, Bnt a Strong Feel
Ing Behind Tbem.
Some quotations were made bnt there was
no actual business at either of tbe stock calls
yesterday. Both resulted in goose eggs. There
was said to be a fair amount of orders on band
but they didn't fit the market.
Bnt while there were no transactions the feel
ing was decidedly bullish, and almost every
thing bid on was higher. Luster was bid np to
S5Jic with none offered nnder 50. Tbe par val
ue is 10. Philadelphia Gas was another strong
feature. Electric held its own and a little
more, ss did tbe tractions.

BETTER THAN EXPECT! D.
Fair Baalnesa at tbe Banks and Cask a

Business at tbe banks was nothing to brag of
yesterday, bnt better than expected so soon
after the greatest holiday of the year. There
was a moderate demand for discounts, and
checking and depositing were fair. There was
no change in rates, but they were slightly
easier.
Tuesday's business, as reflected in the Clear

being $2,657,215 26 and the balances S337.S22 63.

OIL STILL KESTING.
More Feeling Than Bnslness In the Mar
ket NarrowSAll Tbronob.
Tbe oil market was dull and expressionless
yesterday until just before tbe close, when it
brightened up a little on a small amount of
baying. Tracing was light, however, all day.
The bull movement originated in New York,
but an attempt to follow It up here was entirely
unsuccessful. Brokers bad no use for tbe stuff
and outsiders wouldn't take it. The opening
was SI 03, highest SI 03, lowest SI 03, closing
SI 03, showing a range of c.
Certificates were reported scarce, bnt the
apathy which prevailed and the narrow range
of prices had a contrary appearance to an out
sider. Wednesday's clearances were 364,000
barrels.
J. M. Oakley & Co. received the following
from their New York correspondents, Watson
& Gibson, yesterday: Evidence continues to
accumulate of very important expansion on
the market for Russian petroleum in tbe far
East, and ot increased energy and enterprise
In developing and marketing the Russian pe
troleum product. Batoum.tbo port of ship
ment of petroleum.on tbe Black Sea, is reached
by tneTranscaucasian Railway. 660 miles from
Baku, the seat of the Russian petroleum Indus
try. As we have frequently said before, one
obstacle to tbe exportation of Russian oil has
been tbe cost of transportation over this line of
road, particularly owing to tho heavy grades
over the Suram pass, 3,000 feet above sea level.
It is perhaps not generally known, however.
that a pipe line Is constructing, which will be
ready for operation early in the coming spring,
that will overcome a large portion of this diffi
culty, and consequently Increase the capacity
of the railway and cheapen the cost of trans
portation overit, .
Consular statistics show that the exports of
Illuminating oil from the port ot Batoumlast
year were 109,000,000 gallons, against 42.000,000
gallons the preceding year, and as large ship
ments were made by railway to Austria, the
actual increase of exports from Batoum was
considerably greater than tbe figures show.
The Shanghai Mercury for the 22d of August
last, says that one of the most striking fea
tures of China trade statistics is the rapid
growth of the import ot Russian kerosene Into
that country. It says that while previous to
January!, 18S9, no Russian Oil had been re
ceived at tbe port of Ningpo during tbe first
quarter of this year the receipts of Russian
oil wnicn tnen nrst oegan. amounted to in.ww,
000 gallons, against 287.240 gallons ot American
oil, while In the second quarter the Russian
receipts were 169,000, against the American
235.100.
Russian oil was also introdnced this year for
tbe first time at Manila, and tbe energy with
which Russian refiners are pushing out for
trade has resulted in a lowering ot prices in tbe
far East for American oik and as the trade in
that region is not so fastidious in its reqaire-
meau, we are lncuuea to ueucTO taat in oraep
to profitably meet the- growing Compemrdifot
Russia, American refiners will be compelled to
utilize tbe cheaper grade oil of Ohio.
In this view of the case we are compelled to
believo that thero must bo a closer approxima
tion of the market value of Ohio ana Pennsyl
vania crude, and this is perhaps as likely to be
arrived at by a lowering of the price of Penn
sylvania oil as by any exceptional advance in
the Ohio product

DULL AND NABROW.
Trading In Knllroad Shares Down to Zero
London Slock , Exchange Closed
Sugar Bought on a
Ball Story.
NEwToBK.T)ecember 28. Owing to the elos
ing of the London Stock Exchango to-day and
the extremely slim attendance at the board, tbe
bnslness done in stocks here was on the same
limited scale as that of Tuesday, and the fluc
tuations except in a half dozen stocks, which
monopolized all tbe interest 'tn the speculation,
were made within a range of less than half jief
cent The features of tbe forenoon's opera
tions were the selling of Lackawanna and
Beading short to a limited extent and the buy
ing of Sugar Eeflneries in response to the
widely distributing points to bny which were
circulated at tho opening ot bnslness. The
Coal stocks were sensibly affected by tbe con
tinned unseasonable weather and reports of a
partial cessation of work in the collieries, bnt
lit'Je Impression was mado npon their prices.
Tbe endeavor fn tbe afternoon to recoup the
short sales of the foronoon resulted in an ad
vance which completely lped out the losses
of the morning. Sugar was bought on a story
that the capital stock was to be reduced by a
cancellation of certificates, It jaado a mo
terlal advance is the foreaoon, rising 3 per
CMt from Its lowest, na&Ily closed with a sjaia
of 1 for the day. Pacific Mall was streag alea
on the rumors of increased compensation for
the transportation of tbe malls, bat it occupied
a small place in the marker. There was fair
trading in Missouri Pacific, which after a de
cline of J In the early dealings, fully recov
ered, the dealings in tbe stock possessing no
particular significance. Tennessee Coal made
one of its spurts.
The opening prices were generally un
changed, though one or two stocks showed
fractional declines. The general list presented
a firm front almosttbroughout tbe whole day,
the fluctuations were so small that no charac
ter was given to the dealings, and lu the after
noon the market was as near total stagnation
as It is possible to get. Tbe close was dull, but
steady to firm at about opening figures. The
final changes are for Insignificant fractions,
except In Tennessee Coal, which rose IK-
Railroad bonds as usual were more active
than stocks, the business aggregating 96S,000,
but the market failed to present as strong a
front as usual ot late and weakness was the
principal feature In the forenoon, while abet
ter tone prevailed later in the dav. The deal
ings are without feature of interest and the
final chances are Irregular.
Tbe JPoiC financial article says: There was a
disposition manifested to-day to look for lower
prices for tbe next week, owing to the Con
tinued closeness of the money market, which
can scarcely be relieved much until after tbe
first of tbe year. Call loans in the forenoon
were 9, 7 and 9 per cent, and thongh these rates
wonld of themselves not check speculation, tbe
apprehensions of a temporary pinch before the
interest and divideua disbursements conld re
lieve the money market do have an effect,
which In conjunction with the usual holiday
dullness, makes lower prices.

ThERX are 63 banks in Allegheny county,
representing $101,220,700. These figures do not
of course Include tho resource of numerous
private bankers, which would make a 'consid
erable item; nor do they take into account the
many budding and loan associations, which
perform somo of the functions of a bank.
The demand for local bonds is most satis
factory and is daily on tbe increase. The re
demption of abont 5500,000 ot Allegheny
County 5s tbe first of tbe year has started the
holders of these bonds to hunt for equally good
Investments, and it is safe to say almost all tbo
proceeds ot these bonds will be reinvested in
local securities.
S. S. Pinkerton has declined tbe nomina
tion for Second Vice President ot the Pitts

pected there will be some pretty warm work at

sale. It was traded for a lotflOO by 764 f eet,

It was a double deal on tbe part of the agents
by which both the railroad and church people
got what they wanted.
Tbe over-Issue of stock by James J. West,

A Jealons Man Kills His Wife and Then
Attempts Suicide.
Speingfield, Mass., December 26. A
most revolting crime was committed this
morning at Ludlow, John Bassette, a mill
band employed by tbe Ludlow Manufactur
ing Company, killing bis wife and attempt
ing suicide. Bassette was insanely jealous
of his wife, and so far as known without
reason, and bad frequently threatened her
lite, though little attention was paid to it.
He bought a revolver two weeks ago with
tbe avowed purpose ot killing her.
At 3 o'clock this morning Bassette called
to his eldest son Horace to come down stairs
and sit with his mother, who was sick, while
he went for tbe doctor, and then went out,
while tbe young man came down and sat in
the kitchen. His parents slept in a room off
the kitchen. He called his mother several
times, but as she did not answer he supposed
she was sleeping, and did not enter the
room.
Meanwhile Bassette had gone to Officer
Trombley's house and surrendered himself.

evincing much satisfaction with his crime.
-He said he was suffering from wounds sbe
had inflicted on him, hut said he "had
finished her up in good shape." On exam
ination six wounds were lonnd, two stabs
near the heart, two in the left side, and two
deep, jagged gashes over the stomach, from

The usual loll which follows, holiday trade is
here. Everything in the poultry line was
cleaned up at outside prices early yesterday
morning. W. H. McQowan. Liberty street com
mission merchant, reports a growing demand
for nnpalled poultry. Said he: "InNewTork
any other kind of poultry Is forbidden to be
sold by law, and tbe time is coming when this
will be the law here. Poultry with the entrails
in will keep mncb longer than that with entrails
out, and In a season such as this the people
realize the importance of neglecting nothing
that will help to keep the stock from taint.
Large quantities of poultry were sold in this
martet the past few days which baa passed tbe
border line of sweetness and which would have
been all right If the entrails had been let
alone."

Groceries.
Oreen coffee is now within He of the highest
price reached two weeks ago. Options in East
ern markets are in favor of bulls. The general
feeling is that higher prices will be reached
after the holidays. Package coffee is un
changed, but steady. Sugars are weak. Gen
eral groceries are quiet, as is their custom prior
to January settlements.

Eight years ago cancer came on my lews
lip. It took off my under lip from one side to
tbe other, and down to my chin. I bad id
treated by burning, and got so weak that I dial
not think that I conld stand it mncb longer
After much suffering I discarded, all qther
treatment, and began taking Swift's Speciflcr
and the cancer soon began- to heal, and nx
short time it was completely healed ana I was
entirely well. It is now over three yearsslncw
I got well, and there has been no sign ot any ,
return of the disease I know It was cancer,
and I know it was cured alone by S. 88.
