WHI GOOD BOTCHES STOCK ADVANCES
omen of Pittsburg Dispatch.!
Wednesday. February 5. 1S9Q, J
Pittsburg dealers in explosives report a
fair trade and active demand for their coods.
Recording to reports, the volume of busi
ness in this city in the year 1889 was larger
by at least 10 per cent than in any former
year. Since the beginning of the present
year there has been a decline of S per cent on
blasting powder, a fact chirced up by dealers
here to sharp competition.
There are, however, no explosives manufac
tured in this city or immediate vicinity. The
main sources of supply in this line are Cleve
land, Wilmintrton, DeL, and noints in New Jer
sey and Connecticut. Within a few months a
plantbas sprung np a few miles north of Greens
bur& where, it is claimed, a nc w explosive
surpassing all others (the principal ingredients
of which are taken from bituminous coal) is
manufactured. The new explosive is still in
the experimental stage, and timo only will
Srovc its value, or want of value. Mr. Arthur
irk, who has represented this branch of our
industries, in an interview to-day, said: "Our
trade the nast year was larjrer tban ever belore,
but competition bas become so sharp that mar
gins are now very close, and profits are not
nearly so large on the amount of goods handled
as they were in former years. The outlook for
spring trade is good, and there is little doubt
that the volumo of business for the year will
more than equal that of last year. But the re
duction in price brings narrower profits."
Cattle on the Rise.
There is not entire unanimity in the views of
stockmen at Liberty as to the situation of the
cattle market this week compared with last.
It was claimed by some dealers that smooth,
lignt butcherine ftock were 25c per cut higher
than a week ago. Others sar that 15 perewt
would cover the advance. The run for this
week was 78 loads ajramst 100 loads last week.
The decline In receipts was made the most of
by sellers, and buyers were brought to time on
desirable butcher grades and export cattle.
On low grade stock markets w ere slow at
prices very little different from a week ago.
About one-balf of the week's receipts were
from Chicago. The last price realized for 1.400
weight cattle, so far as conld be traced,
was Si 35, although there were rumors ot
higher prices being obtained. Stockers and
feeders were hard to sell, as drovers could not
biinc buyers to pay more than Chicago prices.
Good freMi cows were in good demand at a
range of $25 00 to 150 (10. The snpply of veal
calves was light, but sufficient for all demands.
Bald an old-time stockman this morning: "The
only class of cattle which showed an advance
over last week were light, tidy butchering
stock. The saving clause of the week's live
stock trade, in common stock, has been the
light run. With a run equal to last week, we
would have had very heavy markets. As it
was, low-grade stock was dull at last week's
prices."
Sberp, Lambs, nnd Hoc.
Supply has been light, but sufficient for all
demands and markets are 35c per cwt lower
than at this time last week. On Monday prices
were off 25c, and since that there has been a
steady decline. Reports from New York markets
have been unfavorable for a few days past.
Philadelphia buyers have been of late buying
freely, and now for a few davs back there has
been little demand from that source. The
present situation of markets is decidedly in
favor of buyers at all live stock centers.
Butchers complain that even at present prices
there is no money to them in handling mut
ton. Receipts of hogs were unusually light on
Monday, and markets were firm at an advance
of 152oc per cwt. over prices of the previous
week. The inside price on Monday was fl 25.
Since then prices have weakened slightly and
the outside figure yesterday was El 20. At
Chicago to-day, according to advices received
by one of our leading packers, prices are 5c
lower than yesterday. The weather is unfavor
able to any improvement in price of hog prod
ucts. McCnll & Co.'a Weekly Review.
The snpply of cattle was only fair, demand
lieht, and the market ruled slow, except on
trood country grades, which were a shade
hbrher. Common and medium Chicacos were

Prediction of Lively Times In Grain nnd
Provliilon Wheat Stronger and rjos
Products Steady, Except Lard,
Which U Lower.
CniCAOC The Daily Trade Bulletin says:
Evidently there are signs of improvement in
speculative trade in grain and provisions on the
Board of Trade. While it is true that the busi
ness of heavy operators has not been enlarged
to any extent, there is apparently more of what
is known as miscellaneous trading" that is,
by parties of moderate means and who confine
their trading to certain limits.
In speculative circles there is a growing feel
ing that operations on the Board of Trade can
be made with more reliability and security even
if larger margins are required than if made
through Illegal and outside institutions where no
actnal property Is dealt in, and where the trades
made have no influence whatever In shaping
the course of prices, unless it be to the disad
vantage of the customers making the trades;
and experience is gradually actuating opera
tors to realize that is the result. The signs of
the times are undoubtedly in favor of an in
creased speculative business on the Chicago
Board ot Trade it may be slow, but It will
surely work back into legitimate channels.
There was a fair trade in wheat to-day. and
fluctuations were confined within a moderate
range. Prices did not vary particularly from
yesterday, though the feeling developed was
rather strong notwithstanding the rather free
offerings at times by some prominent traders.
There was buying on outside account, and the
short interest apparently doing considerable
covering. The. opening was weaker and prices
declined Mfi, due to the' liberal increase re
ported in tue quantity on ocean passage. But
there was good buying at the decline, the East
sendlne in some buying orders, and prices
through the session were advanced He, and
the closing was steady and c higher than yes
terday. Corn received hut little attention, the mar
ket ruling dull with the volume ot business
smaller than for several aays past The feel
ing prevaillnc was barely steady, the undertone
at times being easy, thnngh no material chance
wn recorded in values. ,
Oats were steady, but the volume of trading
was light. Parties wlfn have been the largest
buyers of late appeared indifferent about pur
chasing to any extent. Holders were not dis
posed to sell, hence price changes were con
fined to narrow limits.
Some interest was manifested in the pork
market early in the day and trading was mod
erately active. Opening sales were made at 2Ks
decline, but prices gradually improved 57c
Toward the close the feeline was easier again
and prices settled back iQc and closed
Bteady.
Very little business was transacted in lard,
and there were no particular changes to note.
Prices inclined In favor of buyer.
Trading was only moderate in short ribs. In
a general way the feeling was easier and prices
lower.

ME CHARTIERS COHPASI DEPENDED
The principal event in real estate circles
yesterday was the saleof the Shane & Clark
property, located on Penn avenue, corner of
Garrison alley, the lot being 43x110 feet to
Exchange alley, to M. Seibert & Co., the
furniture men, for $65,000, or $1,600 a foot
front The same property was bought by
H. C. Frick a year or more ago for $52,000.
It will be remembered that M. Seibert &
Co., a tew days ago, sold the property re
cently purchased by them, corner Eighth
and Penn, to Messrs. Arbuthnot, Stephenson &
Co. By the new deal the former firm have re
located themselves in the same vicinity, and
will. It is stated, improve their purchase.
It was stated in The Dispatch last week
that Mr. Walter Hay, of Allegheny City, had
purchased two considerable bodies of land in
the Herron Hill district. Particulars ot this
deal were obtained yesterday. The property
consists of about six acres, fronting, on Herron
avenue, Thirteenth ward, just above the Center
avenue cable line power bouse, and formed
part of the estate left by Controller Henry
Lambert. There are good dwelling, driver's
house and stable on tbe grnnnd. The price
paid was $40,000. Tbe land, as originally stated,
will be subdivided and put on tbe market.
Other details were sought of Messrs. W. H.
Herron & Sons, which firm, it was learned, was
interested in the deal, bnt they were reticent.
The mystery investing the purchasers of the
Schmertz and Beymer properties in the East
End seems to have been olved at last. They
are now said on good authority to be Mr. Guck
enhelmer and Mr. Wertheimer, the well-known
distillers.
In reference to the meeting of the Carnegie
Library Committee of Councils, on Tnesday,
at which Mr. Carnegie was present, to consider
tbe selection of a site and other matters con
nected with the library, a prominent manufact
urer said yesterday: "I have no ax to grind,
but I hope a central location will be selected for
tbebnildingsoastoafiord all the citizens an
equal opportunity to enjoy the advantages of
the institution, and also to make it available
to strangers visiting the city, who have
neither time nor disposition to make
long trips for that purpose. The location
should be such as to display the magnificent
structure which it is proposed to build to tho
best advantage, so as totreflect credit upon the
generous donor, Andrew Carnegie, as well as
tbe community in general.
"A central location would attract thousands
of peoplo with their families and friends, where
an out-of-the-way place, in a comparatively un
freqnented qnarter, reached only by cable cars.
would attract hundreds. This fact, for fact it
is, should have great weight with the commit
tee in the selection of a site. Whatever may
bo done, it should not be forgotten that the
main object is to benefit the many and not the
favored few, to whom distauce is nothing. If
a central location be chosen the institution will
be eagerly patronized by people of all classes,
and will soon become a popular school of fine
arts, as it is Mr. Carnegie's purpose to establish,
in addition to tbe library, departments of arts,
science and music"
To the Financial Editor of The Dispatch:
In Sunday's edition of The Dispatch it is
stated that "alleged mismanagement" is the
cause of the decline in value of the Chartlers
Valley stock. As a stockholder in this com
pany I cannot allow this charge to pass without
doing what little I can to show it has no foun
dation. We all knowthe directors to be shrewd
business men and able financiers men who
prize reputation more than riches, and who
would scorn to use their position in the com
pany for the purpose of speculating in the
stock of the company.
For the information of those dissatisfied
stockholders who have accused tns directors of
"'mismanagement," I will, with your kind per-mt-slon,
state what was done last year by the
directors to strengthen the condition of the
company and add value to its stock.
First By the expenditure of $530,000 they
made a reduction of $200,000 in the floating
debt. That is, three-fifths ot the year's earn
ings went for expenses and two-fifths for re
duction of debt. Or, to make it clearer, every
dollar of debt paid cost tbe company $2 50.
Second They converted (720,000 of floating
debt into 5SO0.OOO of funded debt, to make it
easier to carry as well as to reduce the interest
charge. I grant that this looks like a new way
to pay old debts, and also that by this exchange
tbe stockholders did not reap any great benefit.
Still, it must be remembered that the experi
ence bought by tbe directors at such a high
rate, will be worth, to them, all it cost tho
stockholders should it ever become necessary
to make another conversion of debt.
Third They paid but 10 per cent commission
for floating the bonds, so that the stockholders
only lost S100 on every $1,000 borrowed. This I
consider remarkable financiering, thoueh some
grumblers, I regret to say, find fault and point
to tbe placing of the Pleasant Valley bonds,
which, though bearing a lower rate ot interest,
yet netted the company 100 cents on the dollar.
To these grumblers I would say that, even if
the Chartlers Valley Gas stock Is a high water
stock, yet the bonds could not be put afloat un
til tbe ways bad first been thoronghly greased,
and 10 per cent is not too much to pay for
grease. I deny that the commission was di
vided with the directors.
Fourth They reduced the capital stock
(without the knowledge of tbe stockholders)
by the purchase of 1,016 shares of the stoCK at a
cost of about S83 per share, and while this fig
ure is about $30 per share highertban the stock
sold during the year, yet it may be that the di
rectors, knowlnc bow rapidly the debt was be
ing paid off, thought it might go to par.
Of course there are stockholders who say it
would have been better to have used tho
money in reducing tbe interest-bearing debt
Instead of canceling a non-interest-bearing lia
bllity not a debt which could have run for all
time. At the annual meeting. President Cham
bers, when questioned abont this purchase,
said he thought It showed good judgment on
the part of the directors, ana surely ho onght to
know.
With such a splendid record for the year the
directors could fearlessly come before the
stockholders and say, in effect: "Behold our
work. See how we have improved the condi
tion of tbe company and Increased the value
of your stock. The stock to-day is more valu
able than when it sold at 590 per share. 'Tis
true that the more valuable your stock becomes
thelfess it is worth in the market, but why it is
so we are unable to tell."
We hope to resume the payment of dividends
some time this year, bnt until the happy day
arrives when we can declare dividends out of
profits, the stockholders must be content with
knowing that they have been declared out ot
the profits. HlcnoRT.
BOTH SIDES AFRAID.
Broken Waiting for the Stock Market to
Develop Something New,
The stock market was disappointing yester
day, hut realization was in the air, and future
profits, so far as sales went, were sacrificed to
prevent emergencies. Total sales were 450
shares. With the exception of Pleasant Valley,
street rallwaytfwere all weak, Pittsburg Trac
tion notably so. It closed at 41 bid and 42
asked, against 42 and 44 respectively the day
before.
Philadelphia Gas and Switch and Signal were
the sticngest properties on the list,
was a fered freely at Ki. with a sale s
la nona
. with a sale at 20 cents.
It closed at bid. Electric was something of a
puzzle. It was stated the regular dividend
wouio. do ueciarca on tne xotn, at wmen ume
tbe books will be closed.

A bill to renew tbe concession to the Bank of

there is to be a great funding loan. Its amount

not yet settled, bnt abont two milliards of

Further, a group of Paris bankers are negotiat

STRONGER AND ACUTE.
The Oil Market Becoming Quite an Inter
esilns Fen tare of Baslncsi.
The oil market was rather erratic yesterday,
but fairly active and strong, with a larger vol
ume of business than nsual. The range was:
Opening, SI t)5; highest, SI 0 lowest, SI 05;
closing, SI 06.
The strength came from New York; where
the shorts did considerable covering, and
from Oil City, where a representative of the
Standard was an active buyer. Here trading
was choppy, selling on the rise1 and buying on
the drop. Tuesday's clearances were 226,000
barrels.
The Chartlers Valley field is showing signs of
activity, and eight or nine wells will come in
there if nothing happens in the next three
weeks. The Badger farm well is Improving. It
is reported to have made a flow of 80 barrels
last night.. .Arbuckle No. 3 is about 4 feet in
tbe sand and being drilled deeper. It filled up
abbut 150 feet with oil, and, as most of tbe wells
in that field got oil at eight bits in the sand,
tbe Arbuckle No, 3 is -about due. A great deal
is expected of a well being drilled on tbe Cramp
lot. Owners feel confident it will be a 300-bar-reler
at least. Leases are being made of all tbe
available territory in 'that vicinity on the
strength of this well. ,
Mr. W. Pitt Bedell has arrangements made
to drill 13 wells on his farm, just outside of
Mansfield. Oil was found in a well near there
some time a?o.
The West View Gas and Oil Company tapped
the sand in their well at West View, fonr miles
from Allegheny, and started to .-flow oil. The
well was immediately shut down until tankage
can be erected.

MIXED OPIHIMS
Cnnae a Feverish Feellntr In Railroad
Obnres A Bear Knld Itepulsed The
Trusts Onco More Promi
nent bnt Weak.
New York, February 5. With the excep
tions of Rock Island, Readinc, Scgar Refiner
ies and Lead Trusts, tbe stock market was dull
to-day, owing principally to tbe mixed opinions
among tbe traders on the street, and feverish
ness and irregularity marked tbe dealings
throughout most ot the day. The transactions
in the general list may be dismissed with but
few words, although Union Pacific after the
issue of the report showing a decrease in the
net earnings for December of over $175,000, was
weak, and Louisville and Nashville and sev
eral ot the specialties showed considerable
strength.
Reports from London are very encouraging.
the industrial speculation having grown much.
Conservative bankers are again offering rail
road bonds and other first-class investments.
Tbo subscriptions for the Norfolk and Western
Loan were five times the amount allotted to
that center, ice Dears made strenuous efforts
to-day, but they succeeded in weakening only
a few stocks, and in only three of these were
material declines established.
The trusts were once more prominent in the
dealings. Sugar was weak from the opening
and rallied feebly at times, bnt closed at abont
the lowest of tbe day. The bears claimed to
have discovered that insiders who bare held
their certificates since the formation of tbe
trust were selling, and, as uscal, were trying to
take tbe market from them. Lead was sold off
upon tbe publication of the annual report
showing ftnlyl percent made upon the stock
for tbe year. Lead was tbe more active of the
two trusts. In the regular list Reading was
again strong, with reports that the shorts were
to be squeezed again, And the stock was car
ried np to 41 about noon, the highest price yet
attained, and only 1 per cent below tbe last
sale ot tbe third incomes two days ago. Rumors
of a mild corner to be worked in the stock were
current ,
Rock Island, however, was the feature of the
day, being again specially weak aa reaching
the lowest price for a, week past. Tbe old
rumors were still circulated and reports that,
tbe next'dlridend would be passed, which were
declared by insiders to be without f onndatioo,

were freely circulated. The Chicago people
were free sellers upon the story of heavy losses
upon the Western lines, and that the move
ment against tbe stock Is well organized was
apparent. A story from Chicago that the Vice
President of the Burlington denied that there
had been, any increase in the dividend oc
casioned considerable comment.
Among tbe specialties, tbe Chicago and East
Illinois stocks recovered a portion of tbe losses
of tbe past few days and some others showed
material gams. But as a rule the general list
was dull and without movement of importance
and the market closed dull and heavy general
ly at about tbe lowest prices. Tbe final changes
are in all bnt a few cases in the direction of
lower figures, but Sugar with S. Lead 1 and
Rock Island 1 are the only ones of import
ance. Chlcaso and East Illinois common rose
1 and the preferred 2 per cent.
Railroad bonds were more quiet for the gen
eral list, but the Wabash seconds developed
considerable animation and furnished 215,000
out of a total of 31,248.000 for the day. The
market was steady and dull outside of the
bonds mentioned and the movements were con
fined to tbe smallest fractions throughout tbe
day. New York and Northern seconds rose to
64, South Carolina firsts ex-coupon 3 to 99 and
Green Bay incomes 2 to 23.

There Is a sort of Kilkenny fight going on be
tween tbe Sugar Trust and Spreckels. An at
tempt bas been made to corner tbe raw sugar
market on tbe part of the trust, in order to
bring Spreckels to his knees. As a result of
tbe attempted cornering, granulated sngar is
within He of soft whjte in price, a thing unprecedented-
Both parties in the fight are re-ported-to
be losing heavily; but a leading job
ber expresses the belief that where Spreckels
is losing SI the trust is losing S10. Consumers
are getting the benefit of the fight in cheap
sweetening. Coffees are firm, and the drift is
toward a higber level. An advance of 25 points
is reported in Eastern markets, and at' sources
of supply there is an improved tone all along
tbe line.
