f THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1890. 1ESS ENCOURAGING. jfto Material or Widespread Improve ment in the State of Trade. IRON DULL AND DISAPPOINTING. Three Sew Flowing Wells Cause a Decline in the Petroleum Market. 'DEPBESS10S IN THE STOCK MAKKET rsrECIAL TELKGR1M TO TOTt DtBrATCH.1 Xew York, February 28. Telegrams to J3radstrccl's do not report any material or widespread improvement in the state of trade. The slight gain in wheat prices is more tnan offset by the dullness in iron, while unfavorable weather, heavy wagon roads and floods in the Ohio Valley all tend to further restrict the distribution of general merchandise already less t&au tbat reported one year ago. The decline in petroleum re sults from the discovery of three flowing wells. Cattle are 1520c higher, and live hogs off 5c per cwt. Coal is dull, and the output is restricted. Drugs and chemicals are steady and in fair demand, as are whole sale groceries at New York City. The New York stock market is duller.and the bears for the moment appear to have the advantage. This is due mainly to the low bank reserves at a time when the Treasury absorption of currency is not offset by Treasury bond purchasers. Funds are gen erally firmer throughout the country, and collections are cot made with encouraging eae. Call loan rates would be higher ex cept that share speculation is so light. Bonds are dull ana weaker, notably the Heading issues. DECREASE IN GBAIX STOCKS. Beports to Bradstreet's of grain stocks east of the llocky Mountains continue to show a decrease, the total decrease durinir January and February promising to equal 9 500,000 bushels against 8,000,000 bushels decrease last year, which will reduce wheat stocks March I to about what they were one year ago. The average decrease during three weeks of February has been nearly 1, 250, 000 bushels per week against 700,000 bushels during like weeks of 1889. Exports of wheat (and flour as wheat) Irom both coasts have increased again and are now noticeably full, particularly lrom San Francisco. The week's reported shipments equal 2,300,725 bushels ogainst 2,272,849 bushels last week and l,3S4,594 bushels in the last week of February 18S9. Total foreign shipments Jnlyl to date is 70,124,04C bushels against 62,755,096 bushels in a like portion of 1888 &9. Flour is firmer and moderately higher for desirable brands on fair demand and ex tension of local dock storage privileges. Moderately increased exports and stronger cables pushed wheat prices up J,Jc In dian corn is up J3C on continued iree exports and checked interior deliveries. There are no important changes in prices of nog product. -Lard and cut meats are tamer, with the general market irregular. At San Francisco the appointment of a re ceiver for the trust refinery finds the Pacific coast sugar marKet in me bands or Mr. Claus Spreckels, but granulated is onlv e higher There is a light business in raw sugars cast owing to lack of demand, foreign advices being rather stimulating. Refined sugar is stronger. Coffee is about steady on restricted offerings. STEEL KAIL TRADE COUFERE5JCE. Representatives ot the steel rail trade are to have a conference in reference to the proposition to reduce the dutv on imported rails to 510 per ton. Pig iron has not revived 'vet. Makers look for an active demand tor shaped iron soon. The gross output of iron and steel on old orders is lieav.r, but new business thus f.ir hasn't met expectations. Jfm Dry goods jobbers at New York and Bos ton report trade fairly active. Cotton and woolen domestic and foreign dress goods are most active. Agents report leading styles ot cottons well sold up and a fair re-order busi ness in spring specialties. Prices are gen erally firm with bleached cottons showing greatest strength. Eaw wool is dull, with large stocks at Boston. Carpet wools are active and prices are weak but not quotably lower. Itaw cotfon is dull in all markets. The crop movement continues light but firm; prices discourage the consumptive demand. Business failures reported to Uradstreet's number 190 in the United States this week against 253 last week, and 243 this week last year. Canada had 34 this week against 34 last week. The total number ot failures in the United States since January 1, is 2,543 against 2,727 in 18S9. DDK & CO.'S WEEKLY EEPOET. It. G. Dun & Co.'s weeklv leview of trade says: Unseasonable weather and growing doubts about the monetary future do not help business, and reports this week are less encouraging. Yet it must be remem bered that the reports of dealers everywhere are liable to be much influenced by "disap pointment of past hopes, eo that they con sider trade unsatisfactory because it is not up to their expectations because distribu tion does not suffice to clear anay stocks purchased though the amount of transac tions may larger than a Tear ago. To the trader who bought 20 per cent more than in any previous season, but has only sold 5 ner cent more, business is unsatisfactory. The enormous traffic during the latter part of last j ear showed that exceptionally heavy purchases were made, and the clearings in dicate that settlements are in larger amount than a year ago last week, showing an in crease ot 4 per cent at New York, 5 per cent at Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago, and 10 per cent at all other places. But the pre vailing tone just now is one of discourage ment. Boston notes little improvement The Philadelphia drygoods market lacks life. At St. Louis the distribution of all season able goods is fair in volume and, collections satisfactory. The boot and shoe trade is fairly active and expecting the most pros perous season for several years, but there is little trading in wool, with some conces sions. Trade is fairly good, exceeding last year's, at Cleveland, restricted by warm weather at Detroit, helped but little by colder weather at Milwaukee, good at Omaha, only fair at Kansas City and up to the average at St Paul and many other points reporting. Collections, except as above noted, are generally reported fair, but at Milwaukee they are slow and numer ous extensions are obtained. THE IRON MARKET DISAPPOINTING. Philadelphia finds the iron market .weak; for other than best foundry grades, dull and disappointing, speculative lots being all the time offered at prices below preseut cost of production, and at Pittsburg iron is weaker, Bessemer having fallen $1 per ton. The movement of breadstuff's is still heavy and exports, both of wheat and corn, greatly exceeded last year's. After a drop ot about a cent in each, wheat recovered to an eighth above last week's price and corn to five eighths above, with fair transactions In each. . In the stock market the tendency has been toward lnrtber depression, as is natural with money working more closely, and the average has declined 81 cents per share for the week, not including trust or industrial stocks, which have been depressed. The desired monetary relief through larger Treasury disburse ments has not come, and Government re ceipts exceed United States payments lor the week by $2,900,000. On the other hand, the foreign markets are relieved, the Bank of England has again gained largely; ex change on London has fallen lrom $4 86 to 54 85 lor actual business. The recent movement of securities here is believed to have been outward, and exports of products from New York show for the past month an increase ot 4 per cent over last year, against an increase of 9 per cent in import here. These figures indicate a small excess of imports Cor the month, and on the whole the chance of gold exports ap pears remote. The interior money markets Also are rather easier, on. theWhole and well J lajjputu, wiia generally arm marKet, out indication of large available supplies for shipments. The business failures occurring through out the country were 301, as compared with a total of 271 last week. ELKS' GBAND BENEFIT. THEIR ENTERTAINMENT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. Frlcnda of the Order Ont In LnfKO Nnm ber Not One Vacant Scat In tbe Boose The Perforate! s Covered Themselves With Honors and Glory. That the Pittsburg Lodge, No. 11, B. P. O. Elks is a prosperous and favorite order was amply demonstrated yesterday after noon by the immense audience that filled the Grand Opera Hou-c, in honor of the twelftU annual benefit Originally the Order of Elks consisted only of members of the theatrical profession, while it is not now confined to those en gaged in theatrical work, as a lodge, it en lists the earnest and hearty support of all actors and actresses. Consequently the pro gramme was composed of scenes and per formances from every theater in the city, and the services of the actors were entirely complimentary. Tiie souvenirs of the occas sion were the handsomeprogrammes, which, inclosed in envelopes, were presented to each person before entering the theater. The Great "Western Baud, under the di rection of Prof. B. Weis, opened the per formance with an overture "Wallewstein Lager," by S. Kerling, and also rendered Fantasie's""Hunt for Happiness," Brande. By the kindness of Manager Harry Scott, ot the "World's," Tom Kennette and Tommy Mathews, the acrobatic song and dance artists and dialect comedians took possession of the stage, and were followed by "The Little Diamonds," as Daisy and May Collins are called, who appeared in fancy dauces and clogs. An overture, Hunga.-iac Lustspiel, by Keler Bella, rendered by the Grand Opera House Orchestra, under the direction of Brother P. A. Schwartz, entertained the audience while the scenery for the second act of "The Deacon's Daughter" was ar ranged. In that act Miss Annie Pixlev, who is at the Grand Opera House this week, sings her famous "Washtub" song. A tenor solo romanza from "Aida," by Verdi, was rendered by Signor G. Gilli, with Brother H. P. Ecker as accompanist. By permission of Manager E. W. Connelly, of the Casino, Miss Etta Cole, the female contortionist, performed some wonderful feats. A recitation, "Dandy Firth," was given bj E. G. Craig, of the "Paul Kauvar Company." And following was a selection, "Lovers' Conflict" Theo. Moses, by the Mandolin Troubadors, during the rendition of which the stage was arranged for the closet scene from Hamlet, with Joseph Haworfb, of the "Paul Kauvar" Company, who is at the Bijou this week, in the title role. By permission ot Manager E. "W. Con nelly, Conlon and Dougherty, the acrobatic magnates, rendered 'Gentlemen of Leis ure. The "Mocking Bird, a whistling solo, was rendered by Anna Leah Dickin son with H. P. Ecker at tbe piano. Brother Joseph Hawortb, of the "Paul Kauvar" Company, gave a recitation entitled "Sha mus O'Britn," and Miss May Hornby suc ceeded him in her national Scotch dance. Harris Theater orchestra rendered an over ture while preparationrwere made for the fourth act of "A Legal Wreck," which is booked at Harris' Theater. The Graud Finale then closed the pro gramme and consisted of a semi-circle of all the Brother Elks who linked together and standing, sang "Auld Lang Syne." The benefit was a great, grand success, and the thanks of the lodge were given the man agers of the various places of amusements, and all others who took part, for their serv ices.
