Higher Prices and Active Demand for

PJnmbers Supplies Join in the Upward
Movement of Trade.
EXLARGEMEXT OF WOMAN'S KLNGDOM
Office of Pittsbueg Dispatch,
Tuesday. January M. 1S90. J
The outlook for the produce trade was
never better than at this date. Jobbers re
port that orders are already coming in freely
for spring trade, and unless all signs fail we
will haTe the most active business in this
line that has been known for many a year.
Steel nails have advanced 15 cents per keg
since the 1st of January, and are now selling
in carload lots at S2 50 per keg. Through last
summer and up to September the price was
$1 65, and at that figure trade was very slow.
Now it is very brisk at the advanced rates. The
iron nail is a thins: of the past The trade now
calls for nothing but the steel cut and wire
nalL A representative of one or our leading
manufacturing firms, which a few years ago
made a specialty of iron nails, recently said:
"There has been in the past few years
An Entire Revolntlon
in the nail business. Steel cut nails have
supplanted iron, and now the wire nail has
come in to compete tt ith the steel cut nail. As
a result of these changes our firm has with
drawn from the nail trade altogether, and is
now engaged in the manufacture of bar iron.
TVe do not hare the facilities for the manu
facture of steel rails, and could not have
them without large Additional expenses, which
w 0 do not see ourselves clear to shoulder. The
old-fashioned nail mill of ten years ago would
cut a sorry figure in any effort to compete with
trade In its present statu. The methods of
ten years ago in nail manufacturing would
lurnish very poor pickings at this day. In
recognition of this fact our factory has ac
cepted the situation and permitted its nail
machines to lie idle, and our attention is turned
to other lines where there is some hope of
profit The only nail mills nf this city that are
now doing any good are those which have the
facilities for manufacturing steeL"
A Bulbed Wire Advance.
There has been a sharp advance in barbed
wire in the past few weeks in harmony with
the upward movement of iron and steel. Last
snmmcr the ruling price was $3 15 per hnndred
pounds, and markets were quiet at that figure.
Now they are active at SI per hundred. The
drift of all hardware goods 13 upward." Retail
dealers are placing orders very freelv for the
spring trade.
In the department of plumbers1 supplies the
year just passed showed a full volume of trade,
Jiut very close margins of profit Speculative
influences and attempts to comer markets in
1SSS had a disastrous effect on trade in the
early months of 1SS9.
How Speculation Hurts
One of our leading jobbers in this line thus
puts the situation: "The legitimate trade of
manufacturers and dealers in plumbers' sup
plies for the past year or two has suffered more
or less from speculative influences. What our
trade wants is a steady market Great fluctu
ations, even when they put monev into our
pocketsare in the end injurious to legiti
mate trade. Men who have built up a
good business in long years, do not
want these big profits. In a long business expe
rience I have found that these booms which
lift prices above actual values are in the end
hurtful to legitimate trade. I have no desire for
a boom in our line of trade. A fair profit for
our labor and capital invested is much better
than a boom, as it will not be followed by reac
tions ind depressed markets."
Prioesof lead last April weredown to S3 60 per
hundred. In July, which is busy time for plumb
ers' trade, prices had advanced to S4 per hun
dred. This advance was not maintained, and
prices drifted back toward tbe old level. With
the rise in iron and steel there has recently
come an advance in pig lead, and rates now arc
S8 S3 per hundred, an advance of 25c per hun
dred on the lowest price touched last spncg and
summer.
The Advance in Copper
In the past four months there has been an
advance of 3c per pound In copper. The low
est price rcachca last summer was 10c per
pound. Prices are now firm at 13c per pound.
A leading dealer in plumbers' supplies sa!d
to-day: "Our spring trade dots not open fully
until March, but the outlook was never better
at this time of tbe year. Our customers, so far
as we can learn, have been carrying very light
slocks of late, and a. general replenishing will
be a necessity at an early day. with the pres
ent great activity and firmness of iron and
steel there is little doubt that our industry will
come in for its share of the prosperity. I feel
entirely confident of a large trade for the year
ISM."
Woman' Kingdom.
The following, clipped from a recent number
of the Congregalionaliit, of Boston, suggests a
line of employment for women which, it Is
hoped, may open up avenues of profitable use
fulness for some enterprising spirits in this
neck of tbe woods:
Anything any -woman can make; and male well,
from the holder an Invalid can fashion in bed to
tlicinot artistic necdlr and brush work, is ac
cepted by the Woman's Exchange In lew lork.
bo says harper"1 Bazar, and undoubtedly the
fctatementls true of similar exchanges In Boston
and other large cities. lint the writer emphasizes
the Importance of doing one's best. ?to slovenly,
half-done or poorly finished work Is accepted, be
cause the prices paid demand the beet
workmanship. In Manchester, England, three
young girls have started a bureau for
mending socle, sewing on buttons ana repairing
garment". Everything Is done In such a thorough
manner that they are obliged to hire M people to
meet the demands of tbe business. A woman in
Boston who is at the head of a large manufactur
ing establishment told the writer that 6he rejected
applicants every day who might earn (7 and 3 a
week because they could not sew on buttons
proper! v. These facts point to a very practical
way of helping women who are dependent upon
their own exertions for support. Starvation
prices are the rule, we are sorry to say, for needle
women in tbe great establishments where the em
ployes are at the mercy of tbe "-sweaters." lint
to long as families exist plain sewing, patching
and darning will be necessities, and the woman
who can meet the need can usually find employ

A Fair Movement In Wheat, But Prices jLack
htnylng Qnnllties Hog Products
Quiet and About Steady
All rroend.
Chicago The volume or trading in wheat
was a little larger to-day at a lower range of
prices. A prominent local trader was credited
with being a liberal seller early and a moderate
buyer later. The weakness in the market early
in the session brought out some long wheat
There was no special reason given for the de
cline, other than the supporting power was
lacking.
Corn Another quiet day was witnessed in
this market, trading being in the main local
and fluctuations confined within Jc range. The
feeling prevailing was firm early, but later an
easier tone was manifested, the market closing
firm.
On the regular oats market inaction was
again the' rule. To-day and yesterday were two
of the quietest days in the speculative trade ex
perienced foralongtlme. Orders were evidently
very limited, since few operators came up on
the market
Trading was moderate in hog products, and
there were no particular changes to note.

MAY MAKE A DICKER
The Best Brewing Company Almost
Beady to Close a Bargain.
ONLY A MERE TEIFLE RTHE WAX.
Wilkinsbur; Talking About Three School
Houses Instead of One.
EAPID TBANSir SC0EES A BIG POINT
There have been not a few misstatements
which have found .currency of late concern,
ing the efforts of the Best Brewing Company
to obtain additional grounds at Pike and
Twellth streets. There is no question that
this company is making efforts to lengthen
its cords and strengthen its stakes. The mis
statements alluded to relate to the prices
asked lor the property which the company
has in view. That holders have demanded any
thing like the prices attributed to them Is said
on good authority to be pure fiction.
One of the property-holders who has received
an offer from the Best Company was seen
yesterday, and reported that there was
very little between him and tbe company,
and that there was little doubt of tbeir coming
together. Said he: "The price I was reported
to have asked for my property was simply ri
diculons. The difference between my price
and the bid was but $3,000."
Wilklnsburg Council, by an unanimous vote,
passed the ordinance giving the East End
Electric Railway Company the right of way in
the borough. The road will come in on Frank
lin street where there will be two tracks.
There will be two tracks also on Wood street,
and a loop on Penn avenue. By the terms of
the ordinance the work of constructing the
road is to begin in six months aud be com
pleted in a year.
Some objection was made to overhead wires.
Tbe representative of tbe company gave a
verbal guarantee that so soon as it was found
tbe road could be worked on the underground
system the change would be made.
w
Sixty years ago real estate in Pittsburg sold
at almost any price that could be obtained for
it Values were arranged on a sort of sliding
scale to suit tbe necessities of the owner and
tbe ability of the purchaser. The grandfather
of a prominent bank cashier owned about 100
feet on Fifth avenue which he sold for a few
thousand dollars. The same property is worth
around million to-day. Another gentleman,
about tbe same time, was the possessor of 100
acres and several houses in the heart of East
Liberty. Ho indorsed for a friend to the
amount of S60.O00, and all this property went to
pay the debt At the present time it would
bring 52,000,000.
There are men living who remember those
occurrences. What a contrast they present be
tween the old and the new. Could anything
more forcibly illustrate the marvelous growth
of the city?
The destruction by fire of the schoolbouse in
Wllkinsburg will probably result in a change,
the importance of which has long been recog
nized. The borough is nearly a mile in length.
The Pennsylvania Railroad tracks separate the
Second and Third wards. The schoolhouse
was almost in tho center. Children livingatthe
extremities, therefore, hd quite a distance to
walk, and those living in the Third ward had to
cross the railroad. To equalize distances and
obviato the necessity of crossing the railroad,
always dangerous to children, it is now pro
posed to erect a school building in each of the
three wards, each of them to cost about $15,000,
and one of them to serve as a sort of High
School.
So far as this plan has been discussed it has
been favorably entertained. The cost of the
three buildings would be very little greater
than one large enough to accommodate all the
children of school age in the borough, and they
would be far more convenient
There are two sides to every question. The
proposed change of moving day is no exception.
It has its advocates and Its opponents.
In regard to this matter a member
of the frm of W. A. Herron A Sons
said: "pne great objection we have found has
been made by the business men to the Idea of
moving in the midst of the spring trade. They
are averse to a cbango at that time, which is
one of the busy seasons of tbe year. This has
always been the subject of grave consideration
on tbe part of our business men. As it is now,
many are subjected to great inconvenience,
while some incur loss by being forced to move
as late as the 1st of April.
"Many concerns have been compelled to con
tinue year after year in undesirable locations
or inadequate quarters, rather than move the
1st of April, and the instances are numerous
where merchants have paid large bonuses to
get possession of the houses to which they
remove early enough to be prepared for the
spring trade. This is so frequent that many
business men prefer to have moving day earlier,
rather than later."
0DT OP THE BUT.
Good Movement In Stocks, With an Enconr
aclnc Substratum of Strength.
A fair amount of business was transacted in
stocks yesterday, the sales footing np 475
shares. The active shares were Philadelphia
and Chartiers Gas, Pleasant Valley Railway,
People's Pineage and Switch and Signal,
Philadelphia Gas maintained its pre-eminence
for activity, but was fractionally weaiter,
selling at 32 and closing at SZ bid. Pleasant
Valley and Central Traction scored a fractional
advance. Luster opened at 16 bid, and closed
J4 better. Electric was a shade stronger.
Switch and Signal brought 14, and finished
with that price bid. The rest of the list
showed very little change.
Orders are increasing, and there is an under
current of strength which promises well for
the future.

Speculation In Railroad shares Fenlureless,
With Periods of Weakness and Stag
nation Final Chnngea on the
Losing Side.
New Yobk, January 14. The stock market
to-day was dull, with a moderate Dusiness in a
few stocks only, and while Irregular was weak
during the greater portion of the day the de
clines are the rule this evening. The flurry in
money yesterday encouraged some speculation
this morning, but it met with no success, and
the opening figures were generally 4 per
cent below last night's closing. The bears bad
no intention of permitting any movement, and
casting around for a vulnerable spot Atchison
was hit upon, as there was some selling for
Boston account
Rumors in regard to the voting trust were
circulated, but, owing to tbe Reading episode,
voting trusts are not in favor at present in
Wall street and both the success and probable
failure of the plan were made excuses for sell
ing the stock down. At its extreme decline. 2
"per cent it was really the roost active one on
the list wnicn was sometning oi a sensation
after a long period of stagnation to which it has
been subjected.
Tbe success in Atchison encouraged further
pressure upon the coal stocks, and consider
able liquidation was Induced among tbe smaller
bulls who are tired of waiting for an advance.
The opinion of Chairman Walker in regard to
the Union Pacific-Northwestern alliance be
came known toward the close and resulted in
selling Union Pacific down a fraction, and had
some effect on the remainder of the list The
liquidation in Wisconsin Central made further
progress, ana that stock was moderately weak
throughout tbe day.
The market was devoid of other features and
was subject to alternate periods of weakness
and stagnation, the general drift of prices be
ing almost steadily in tbe downward direction
after the first rally. The nnllsted department
was as bare of feature as tbe regular list
though sugar was modorately active and Illi
nois coal and coke continued to creep np and
passed 28. The final changes are declines in all
but a few cases, Atchison shows a loss of 1
and Lackawanna 1 per cent, but the others are
fractional amounts only.
Railroad bonds were quiet, and the Reading
issues sankbackintoasccondaryposition in the
market, while tbe Kansas and Texas issues
came to the front, and after a material decline,
rallied handsomely in the 6s and 7s, while the
5s u'-sed at the lowest prico of the day. Out
of the total of SL200.000 the 6s contributed $129,
000. The general list was barren of feature and
displayed little change, being steady through
out tho day. Oregon Navigation firsts rose 3
to 113, and Kansas Pacific 6s of 1896, 2 to 100H.

Tuesday, January 14. 1890.
Choice potatoes and fancy apples are a shade
firmer, and prospects for higher prices are
good. Eggs are moving more freely, but there
are no signs of an advance. Markets are better
supplied with poultry than at any time since
the holidays. There have been heavy receipts
from Iowa and Illinois the past few days. Not
withstanding heavy receipts nrices are fully
maintained, and demand is sufficient for all
good stock that comes. Cabbage is in better
supply and markets are quiet. Onions are
scarce and higher. Turnips are very dnll.
Sweet potatoes are moving upward. Lemons
have advanced sharply within a few days.
Fancy Florida oranges are very firm at a shade
higher prices. The first fruits of the new crop
