THE PETTSBtTRG DISPATCH. "WEDNESDAY. JANUAEY 22, 1890. "MATHER ASD TRADE Bow the Open Winter Has Depressed All Woolen Goods and HELPED 15 ALL MILLINERY LIKES.' The Prospects of the Shoe Upper Industry Kever Better. TKIBOHTI0KS OP THE ICE DEALERS OFFICE OF FlTTSBtrKG DISPATCH 1 Tuesday, January 21, 1890. t The drygoods department ot trade is one that has keenly felt the depression incident to the lack of winter weather. Stocks of flannels, blankets, and in lact all woolen goods were laid in by our jobbers and retailers In the early part of the winter, with a Tievr to at least an average volume of trade. A large part of this stock remains unsold, and will be necessarily carried over till next season. In other lines of the drygoods trade, the season's business has been above averace, showing that, with the usual amount of cola weather, dry Roods merchants would have had a good trade all around. One of our leading merchants who has been connected with this branch of trade many years, said this moraine: "The trade in all woolen goods has not been so flat these many 3 ears as it has been this winter Our supplies were laid In with the expectation of an averace winter. As it has turned out, we laid in en tirely too much in this line. The people have this winter had no need for the flannels, blankets and heavy underwear, ordinarily wanted in winter time. "ft is now too la:e to make up for lost time no matter how severe the closing weeUs of win termavbe. and all that is left to drj goods job bers is to hold over their stock for another sea son or force it onto market at a sacrifice." Jobbing Millinery Trade. "It is an ill wind that blowsnobody anygood." While the elements have been adverse to dry goods trade this winter the millinery trade has not been as good for the past three years at this time of the jear. The money which other wise would have gone into woolens is more Ireel v spent on the lighter materials of women's apparel. Said one of onr leading jobbers: "We are better sold up than we have been for jears at this time of the) ear. 1 he losses of drycoods merchants have been apparently a gain to our trade. Our troubles are likely to come later on in the season, since wholesale drygoods houses will nn rinnht h forrml to carrv their custom ers longer than usual this season, and in all probability collections will be slow. If such should be the outcome our business will feel the effects of the open winter later on. So tar vi e have an extra good winter, but have no deposition to crow, seeing we are not alto gether out of the woods." Mioe Upper Industry. The largest manufacturer in this line here or an where in the land thus puts the situation and outlook: "Our trade is much better than it was this time last year, and orders for the spring are coming in much earlier than the usual time, a fact no doubt due to the open winter and the faith that spring will start ahead of its contomary time. Our heaviest or ders are coming in from distant points. While our force is 15 per cent larger than at this time a year ago, we are w orking up to our full ca pacity, and the outlook for a big trade the com ing year is first class, in fact better than it has ever been belore." In the interview with this manufacturer of eboe uppers the fact was developed that in the past half year the French calfskin has been gaining on the domestic article as to the amount called for by the trade. The reason for this, a- given, was the general prospentj of the country, and the consequent drift toward using better and more expensive footwear. When the land pmspcrs the millions have the where with to indulge in higher class goods. The shoe upper trade in the larger consumption ot high grade leather furnishes one of the straws showing that the country is in the midst of an era of general prosperity. Worries of Ice Dealers. A representative of the Chautauqua Ice Com pany recently said: "We have had no harder winter for our trade than this has been. In the first place all our appliances and expensive ma chinery for laying in stock: hare been idle all season, and we are forced to large expenditures for manufacturing ice. Again, the weather has been so mild that many of our customers are usiog ice right along at a time when ordinarily there is no demand at all. On top ot all, the Ktreetsjof the East L"od are In such a condition that it requires double the regular number of men and twice the accustomed amount of horseflesh to deliver the goods, which we would rather not deliver at all if we could in any way get out of it. bucb a winter as we are having may be adverse to many other departments of trade, but I doubt if any other has suffered as much from soft weather as ours."

Chicago Wheat Prices touched a lower point again to-day. Speculative trading was moderate and of about the same character as has existed for some days past. The pressure of the influences presented appeared to have but little effect, and lack of confidence is mani fested. The onening was about Vtte better than yesterday, ruled easier and declined K6 He touching SOc for May. and after that ruled a shade above, closing aboutHKcnigner than yesterday. Local receipts were 87 cars and withdrawals from store 45,022 bushels, of which 33.3UU ousn els was No. 2 red, this being some more of the wheat contracted to be loaded into vessels to await opening of navigation. The market strengthened a little toward the close. Corn But little Interest was manifested in this market, the trade being light and fluctua tions exceedingly narrow. The feeling prevail ing was steady and prices showed but little change compared with yesterday, closing quota tions being about the same. Receipts were con siderably short of expectations, there being but 263 cars, of which 88 cars were billed through and 36 cars graded contract Estimates for to-morrow are smaller, as usual, on Tues day, beinc ulaced at 145 cars. The cash market was quiet, offerings light and prices steady and without special change. There was little if any doing in lower grades. Oats The increased interest centered in the speculative market alluded to yesterday proved to be of brief duration, for to-day the market again ruled quiet Few operators gave the market attention, which was suggestive of a small rnn of orders. Notwithstanding the quietness which prevailed and the dullness in surrounding markets, the feeling was tolerably steady. Values were not subject to fluctua tions of any importance, and the recent small improvement in near futures was maintained. Cash oats on the regular market were exceed ingly quiet, almost nominal in fact due to an ab sence of offerings. No. 2 oats, cash, were quotable at 20c, probably salable at that, and o. 3 white toco to store special houses, usu ally sold at 2122c, outside for choice. An active trado was reported In the market for hog products, still the volume was not as large as that reported yesterday. The receipts of borrs w ere lareelv in excess of all estimates accompanied with a decline in prices of fully 10c. and this encouraged local operators to en large their line of shorts to some extent Out side orders to purchase were moderately free, and some local operators were inclined to pur chase for an investment, and this combination was sufficiently strong to check any material decline in prices. Manufacturers, too. were more independent in this view notwithstanding the decline m prices of hogs, as a rule were asking higher prices for all the leading de-scription-.more esDecially those most in request for the consumptive trade. The weather, too, was somewhat colder, and this was regarded as a favorable feature. The rmrket opened rather tame at about the closing figures of yesterday, and a slight re duction w as temporarily submitted to. Later, with fair miscellaneous buying, the market ex hibited some strength, with tiadlng chiefly in May contracts, and prices were slightly ad vanced.

BIG SALE OF LOCAL SECURITIES Which Attracts a Hungry Crowd Adds Some Strength. and DIVIDENDS OF HIKING COMPAKIES The second attempt of "W. A. Herron & Sous to sell the residence of the late C. Ii. Caldwell, No. 73 Lincoln avenue, Alle gheny, made yesterday, was no more suc cesssnl than the first The crowd was small and the bidding spiritless. The impression teemed to prevail that the full value of the property, $20,000, had been offered. Finally, however, an additional ?500 was bid, bat even this did not come up to the views of the administrator, and it was with drawn. It will now be offered at private sale. John D. Bailey's auction sale of local securities at the Chamber of Commerce, yes terday afternoon, attracted a large crowd of capitalists, and the bidding was lively. The prices were "away up," as one broker ex pressed it, but be was probably hasty in ex pressing his opinton, as a comparison with Exchange and street quotations will show that they were about up to the market, and in very few cases beyond it Everything offered was sold, except 36 shares of Monongabela National Bank, of Brownsville, which were withdrawn on a bid of 35c The following were the sales and prices realized: One share German Savings Bank, 875: SO Third National Bank, 175: 52 Monongahela Navigation Company, 87; 30 same, 86; 16 Hazel wood Oil, 50X: 65 same, 60; 13 Suspension Bridge. 87; 10 Youghiocheny Bank, Connells ville, 87K;40ConnellsvilleGas. 20: 7 Connells- vllle Bridge Company, 87; 14 Pittsburg Con necting Railroad. 12K: 200 Safe Deposit, 67; 100 Union Storage, 66; 100 Fidelity Title and Trust Company, 161; 60 Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Railroad, 41; 20 Pennsylvania Railroad, 53K; 20 Monongahela Incline, 67; 10 Chartiers Railroad, 4SJ; 10 Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad, 6U s The dividend table of mining companies in the United States and Territories shows a total of 810,537,522 distributed during the year 1889 by 61 companies, against 13,061.105 distributed in dividends by 64 companies In 1888. The first falling off of importance as compared with the previous year is id the amount paid by the Con solidated California and Virginia, which In 18S8 divided SL1SS.0OO and last year $756,000; this with Hale and Norcross dropping ont of the list altogether from 3224,000, points to a bad Comstockyear compared with the previous one. On the other hand the greatest silver producer, the Granite Mountain Mining Com pany, paid 2,400,000 against JL.600,000 in 1888. Ontario, the next in rank of production to the two named, maintained its division of profits at the highly respectable figure of 900,000. Montana, Limited, another of the important producers, was only able to give its proprietors one-half of that earned in 1SSS, viz., $206,250 against S412,5O0. Most of the copper companies paid reduced dividends. It mnst be borne in mind that a very large number of the profit earning mines in this country are owned by private companies or in dinduals. who furnish no returns, so that the dividend table published does not even approx imate the profits on mining, and therefore any deductions from it can only be partially correct as to the resnlt of mining as an investment A decision of some importance was recently given by the New York Court of Appeals, in volving the question of whether a certain de livery of bonds amounted to a pledge or a virtual sale of the securities. The case was interesting in two particulars, first, because it concerned the transactions of so prominent a person as the late General Burnslde, and, sec ondly, because the generous course pursued by the President of the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company was made theeroundforendeavoring to get a legal and technical construction of the case against the company. The .facts were, briefly, that General Burnslde obtained a loan from the Trust Company and deposited 15 bonds as security; when the loan came due he went to the company and stated that he could not pay it, saying to Mr. Rolston, the President, that they would have to take the bonds for the money they had advanced. To this Mr. Rolston assented, and thereafter General Burnslde was never treated as owner. The conrt held unanimously. Judge Finch delivering: the opinion, that the transaction constituted a sale and not a pledge of the bonds. Timber culture is making fair headway in this country, particularly in the West and Soatb, although it is not entirely neglected in Pennsylvania and other Central and Eastern States. A gentleman has just contracted to have 1.000 acres of land near Ashe ville, N.C, planted in coniferous trees, mostly white pines, 800 acres of which, at the rate of 1.200 trees to the acre, are to be done in two years. This is tbe most extensive attempt at timber culture that has been undertaken by a private indi vidual in the United States, andit mnst result in great good. It will draw attention to timber culture and to the need of the more careful preservation of forests ends which, if attained, will have an important bearing upon the climatic and sani tary conditions of the country, and be of great advantage to the agricultural interest A STEP BACKWARD. Local SeenHiIes Shrink a Little, bat no Slffniflcsnt Chances. A weak feeling prevaded the stock market yesterday, although the changes were insignifi cant The sales were 3S0 shares, contributed by Philadelphia Gas, Airbrake and Pleasant Val ley. The weakness was attributed toa scarcity of orders "at the market," and also to baste to enable the brokers to attend tbe auction sale at the Chamber of Commerce. There were no changes in conditions to affect prices. VOKNISG. JLTTIBJtOOK. Hid. Asked. lsia. Asked. Fittsb'gP..B.AM.Ex. 4C0 Fidelity T. A T. Co... M5 460 165 75 103 Keystone B'kofFltts.. Marine Nst.

BANES AiND BANKERS. Good Business Demand for Money at Steady Rntes Windom's 'Scheme. There were no changes In the general fea tures of the local money market yesterday. Funds were in adequate supply for legitimate purposes, with a good business demand, and rates steady at 67 percent The exchanges were below tbe average of the month, being 2,431435 69, and tbe balances 8383,788 14. Tbe shrinkage denotes nothing more than that business, having freed itself from complica tions incident to the close of the vear. is moving on its customary level. Some ot the local bankers are of the opinion I that if Secretary Windom's silver scheme shall become law it will lead to extravagance, stimu late speculation, and prepare the way for a grand financial smasbun. They think there is enough money in circulation for all legitimate purposes, and that a material increase would be attended with great danger. With abund ance of capital available at rates ranging from 6 to 7 per cent they hold that there is no neces sity for Inflation. Wall street may require it, but the solid Interests of tbe country do not Money on call at New York yesterday was easy, ranging from 34 per cent; last loan, 3; closed offered at 3.

A LITTLE BOOM NIPPED. Petroleum Rencbes a Hlsher Level, but Snon Lets Go. The oil market opened rather strong yester day at 81 07, Jfc better than the closing of Monday, but soon sold down to $1 06, around which it held until near tbe close, when New York bulled it up to 81 08. This was too good to last, however, and a downward movement ensued, which did not stop until f 1 07 was reached, at which point the market closed, with the feeling decidedly bearish. The range was: Opening, 1 07; highest, $1 08; lowest, SI 06; closing. Si 07. A broker remarked: "I see the Standard's hand more distinctly to-day than ever. If left to Itself there would have been no break. But the top figure was too high tor the monopoly, which is the principal consumer of crude and dealer in refined in this country and Europe. It therefore pulls both ends of tbe string. We are mere puppets in its hands. If we under take anything big we run a danger of being squeezed. All we can do with safety is to scalp each other. Prices are beyond our control." Features of the Market. Corrected dally by John M. OaKiey & Co., 45 Sixth street members of the Pittsburg Petro leum Exchange.

Railroad Share Continue Their Upward Movement Easy Money at Home and Abrsad The TrnsIsAgnln to the Front. New Yokk. January 21. The upward move ment in tbe stock market inaugurated yester day made further progress to-day, while the market itself perceptibly broadened, and tbe recent persistent pressure by tbe bears upon the list was conspicuous by its absence. The disposition of the latter was evidently to cover their outstanding oontracts, and rumors of a coming resistance to future bear pressure was in all probability an inducement to take that course. One of the chief elements of strength in the market to-day, however, was the growing ease in money both here and in London, time money being offered freely at 5 per cent, while call loans were made as low as 3 per cent to-day. The drives at values to-day were short and sharp, bnt the subjects were well chosen, and the covering was quickly done. In the general list Missouri Pacific was again the leader ot the dealers, and while no marked movement was made in the stock the rise of yesterday was fully maintained and slightly improved upon. Western Union was attacked in the forenoon, but rallied quickly and finished with a small advance. Tbe strength in these stocks of late is regarded as an indication by the friends of the management that the Gould properties will in the future be of assistance toward a better market Reading was again active, and the Sully party were reported as buyers all day long, while assuring their friends of the desire to smash voting trust The stock was advanced fractionally, but fluctuated over a comparatively narrow range, as was the case with all tbe leading shares. The wide fluctuation were as usual made in the Trusts and specialties, and Sugar Refineries in the afternoon for no apparent reason was bid up rapidly, touching 55, thongh it fell away later to 51 and closed at 54. Among the specialties Louisville, New Albany and Chicago was the most prominent for its rapid rise under light dealings from 40 to 44 against 38for its last sale. It closed at 42. Chicago, St Louis and Pittsburg common and Hocking Valley were also specially strong. The begin ning of dividends is the direct result of tbe im proved business done by all the established roads in Ohio. Tbe general list displayed a firm tone through out the day and improved fractionally under small transactions all day long, Tbe close was dull but firm, bnt generally at or near the best figures. The great majority of the list is higher to-night, though confined to fractions as a rule. Tbe railroad bond market was active to-day. but it displayed no pronounced tone, the ma jority of tne list being quiet and steady, while a few issues showed marked strength and others were equally as weak. The total transactions were $1,761,000, of which the Chesapeake .and Ohio fires famished $207,000, and, while tbe Wabash issues, the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western fives and some others were prominent in the dealings, they failed to reach an impor tant total. St Louis, Alton and Terre Haute dividends rose 5 to 55, Burlington, Redar Rapids and Northern consols lost 5 at 9a Tne roliowme tame snows tne prices ot active stocks on the New York Stock Excnsnre yester day.

The largest was for 8100,000, given bv the Allegheny Valley Railroad Company to Charles Lockbart for purchase money. The transaction was noted several da) sago in The Dispatch. It was reported yesterday that a representa tive of a large drycoods firm was in tbe city for the purpose of purchasing a site for a branch house. Real estate men on Fourth avenue said they had not been approached by the gen tleman, but they saw nothing improbable in tbe story. Me. David Hutchctso:?, a bale and hearty octogenarian, and well known in Pittsburg business circles, felled tbe last forest tree that stood on Bovd's Hill, and split it into rails for bis fences. That was aboutSO years ago. Boyd's Hill Is now one of tbe most thickly settled parts of tbe city. The annual statement of tbe Manufacturers' and Merchants' Insurance Company, of this city, shows that it is gradually forging ahead toward its old-time prosperity. Its earnings last year not only covered its regular 6 per cent dividend, but enabled it to add a very comfort able sum to its surplus. Jas W. Shape A Co. got a bid yesterday on the Crystal Glass Works property on Sixth and Seventh streets, SouthBide, of $20,000. and adjourned the sale for two weeks, although it is probable that a private sale will be closed be fore that time, as several parties have made ovartnres for the property. A Waix street special to Whitney & Steph enson says: "The brokers who have been watching tbe market most carefully insist that if tbe bears want to carry through their recent campaign to a successful Issue they had better hurry up, because each day develops tbe fact that tbey are losing ground, and are not likely to recover at anything like going prices the lines tbey put out at even lower than current quotations." The annual meeting of the stockholders ot the Gormania Savings Bank was held yester day, and the following elected directors: Chas. Meyran. J. F. Bavekotte, Wm. Neeb. Christian Riebert, Joseph Abel.
