THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1890. T ? I A SDBUBBAN DICKER Down the Fort Wayne Eailroad In volving Many Broad Acres. FBESII SUPPLY OF BOILDIKG LOTS. The Xorthside Syndicate Likelr to Arouse Ohio Street Van Winkles. GOOD WOEDS FOK MIXING PROPERTIES A deal in suburban property of considerable Importance, as making a reliable quotation on acreage values, was about closed up by C Ber incer i son yesterday afternoon. The tract is a laree one. and is situated on the Fort Wayne Railroad in the vicinity of Emsworth. The price paid for it approximates M0,000. It will be subdivided and put on the market. The formation of a, syndicate to buy up busi ness property on East Ohio street, Allegheny City, as announced yesterday, bids fair to lift that thoroughfare out of the groove in which it has been running for years. It is one of the handsomest streets on the Northside, and should be one of the busiest from end to end. Singularly enough, it has been almost overlooked by investors, and is there fore a virgin field for the new combine to oper ate in. What the result will be remains to be seen; but it is safe to say that property owners will meet the overtures of the eyndidate with a demand for a considerable advance on present prices, which, as one gentleman said, "are away down." While this will be perfectly justifiable, in view of the fact that values there for the most part are below the market, care should be taken to avoid the other extreme. Owners should bear in mind that fair prices make busi ness, but that extravagant demands retard it. The gentleman quoted edded: "I hope the prospect of a little flurry over there will not swell the heads of the people. If they get wild their property will be left on their hands." Among the questions which will be consid ered at the labor conference at Berne. Switzer land, special promise will be given to condi tions and regulations affecting the labor of women and minors. The conference, for ex ample, will attempt to determine whether the maximum length of a day's work for minora should vary according to tbe ages, and during what hours should the working time be fixed; whether tho State should permit the employ ment of women and children in occupations carried on in the night time, and what restric tions are necessary in the employment of women and children in nnhealthy and dancer ous occupations. Tittsburg has a vital interest in the permanent settlement of these questions. She will be ably represented at the conference. The cry about serious damage to wheat by the recent cold snap seems to be of a kind with the annual lamentations over the loss of the Delaware peach crop. A Liberty street gram dealer said yesterday that he bad late advices Irom the winter w heat belt, which showed that no damage worth speaking of had been sus tained, and that the outlook for a large yield was exceedingly good. The report of serious loss by freezing was orieinated by the Chicago bulls, but the contradiction followed so quickly, and was so conclusive, that they profited very little by the canard. If the mining stocks represented on thePit,s bnrc Exchange are worth anything at all they are dirt cheap at present figures. A gentle man familiar with the condition of LaXoria said yesterday that he still had faith in it. All that is needed, in his opinion, is to sink the shaft as deep as those of other mines in the vicinity. Luster, Yankee Girl and even Silver ton, came in for friendly mention. He concluded: "Improved methods of work ing these mines should be tried, before they are given up as hopeless. It might be well to change the management all round. They are all Fittsb irg enterprises, and Pittsburg pluck and skill should bo able to make them pay If such a thing is in the wood." A SLIGHT IlIPR0TME2iT. Only One Goose Eee nt tho Stock Ezchnnce Galas nnd Losesw Stock trading yesterday comprised two small sales on call both in the forenoon. This was an improvement on tho previous day, which was an encouraging feature. In such cases small favors are thankfully received. Airbrake continued its upward movement, selling at 114. but breaking in the afternoon and closing a point lower. Allegheny Heating Company was marketed at 103. The last previ ous sale was at 109. There was a demand for Philadelphia Gas, bnt there seemed to be none fur sale. Chartiers Gas advanced sharply on prospects of a dividend. It closed strong at 44 bid ana 47 asked. Bank stocks received considerable attention, but buyers and sellers were too wide apart to make business. Switch and Signal rallied a little from the lowest point of Tuesday, but the undertone was weak. The annual repoit was not considered altogether satisfactory, though no one seemed able to point out the weak spots. UOHNING. ATTZBXOOX. ma. ASKen. ma. Ailed. Pitts. P. S. 4 M.

So far as bank clearings are a guide to the business sitnation, the volume of trade con tinues of very large proportions. The ex changes yesterdav were $2,555,150 50 and the balances S3S5.2M 21. Money was easy nnd in fair demand. Loans were made at 6 per cent on choice collateral. In accounting for tha recent squeese in Wall street, the Financial Chronicle remarks: "The great expansion of trade and industry has drawn money from tho East In large sums to the South and Far West, here it finds more profitable employment than in securities yield ing only 5 per cent and less on their market value. Immense amounts are locked np In en terprises which have not j et begun to yield an ticipated profits; and in some sections of the country funds are slow in returning eastward, because of backward trade and consequent slow collections. "As soon as these temporary conditions are pissed we may look for easier money and also better prices for stocks; lint until then the difficulties of a bull campaign are almost, if not quite, insuperable."

The oil market was dull and steady yester day except for about an hour In the middle of the day, when it got very low in the nineties. The opening was a2JjJ. where the market hung very closely until shortly before the close,when Oil City shorts bid it up"to 9 the top of the day. It then weakened and closed below the best price. Tho extremes were: Opening, 92; highest, 93: lowest, W.: closing, 93J5-sbowing a fluctuation of 1 cent. Tuesday's clearances were 422,000 barrel'. Trading was ot the retail sort and entirely professional. 1 he Irory well is doing about 150 barrels a day. It is said a large number of wells will be sunk In that vicinity, and that they will be too close to eacn otner to ue prouiaoie. In the Washington field Wesley Webber's Desmond No. 1 is completed in the Gorden with but a slight increase. The Salem Flach farm well of the South Penn Oil Company failed to obtain an Increase in the fifth sand, to which it has been drilled, and is making 40 bar rels a day. Operators in the Sheffield district expect to bring in a few more pood wells there. Two in that field are doing CO and SO barrels an hour respectively. Fort Mangier No. 2, Chartlers Valley, turned out better than expected. It is producing at the rate of 20 barrels a day. The Hundred-foot Oil Co's well on the Jacob Dnmbach farm in the Hundred-foot district is holding up the 1100 barrels a day, and the other two of the trio of gushers are producing 4S0 and 360 barrels a day respectively. There is great activity in the Hundred-foot district, and larce quantities of supplies, such as boilers, engines and lumber, are being hauled out into the field from Butler, Features of Yesierdm'a Oil Mnrkrt.

Wall Street Lenrm nl the Eloventh nour of -n Big Kallrond Gobble It Cnusea A Kuah to Buy Grnucera. sew York, March 12. The stock market during the greater portion of to-day was dull and stagnant for most of the list, and the few movements which took place had little or no significance. The opening this morning was attended by a stronger tone than usual of late, and especially in the Grangers there was more life and positive strength. It was reserved until the last hour to spring upon the street the intelligence that the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy had at last secured the controlling interest in the Chicago, Burlington and North ern, and there was t. rush to buy the Grangers, and the stocks of all the roads which will be benefited by a cessation of the rate cutting in tne west ana .norm west. iurnngton and Quincy led the upward movement, but Rock Island. St, Paul, Union Pacific and Louisville and Nashville were close behind. The pros pect of a discontinuance of the rate troubles in the West alreaay has caused a better feeling in the street and an easier money market. There were other items favorable to the im provement of values, chief among which was the declaration of the dividend upon the pre ferred stock ot the St. Paul, and a complete change in the management of the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railway, owing to the fact that a controlling interest had boen bought quietly by some large corporation. The general market to-day was devoid of interest. The close wa active, excited and strong at the best prices of the day. Burlington and Quincy is np 2. Denver. Texas an d Fort Worth, lji Rock Island, 1J& Oregon Improvement, ij Atchison and St. Paul, 1, Northwestern 1 per cent, and others fractional amounts. The railroad bond market was again more active to-day, the sales of all issues reaching $1,665,000, out of which Atchison incomes con tributed $331,000 and were the strong point iu the list, while the Louisville, New Albany and uiucago consols were conspicuously weax. The rest ol the list, however, displayed tho same steady tone without tendency in either direc tion. Louisville, New Albany and Chicago consols lost 2, at 102. The Tost says: There are reports, which seem to have some foundation, of a new pool having been formed in Hock island, and aside from this it is noticed that there bas been pretty steady bnylng in the last two days of the other grangers, especially Northwestern and St. Paul, for Chicago account. While the volume of trading in the more active stocks has fallen off because there bad been a cessation of the eflorts to depress them, a good many of the usually less active stocks have had a larger business in the last week and have advanced considerably. Although the same individuals who are largely interested In Burlington and Quincy were the builders and operators of the Bur lington and Northern, the former bas never been able to dictate the policy of the Burling ton and Northern, and as the latter has been the greatest disturber of rates, the matter has always had the aspect of "a house divided against itself." The announcement that the Burlington and Quincy had bought the Bur lington and Northern was therefore accepted as a pledge that the rate cutting would be stopped, and on this, supposition all the Granger stocks began at once to advance.

Quality of Sheep and Lambs Offered, Below the Standard. FBICES OF PORKERS WELL SUSTAINED Office of FiTTSBtmo Dispatch, J Wednesday. March 12. 1S90. Receipts of cattle for the week at the East Liberty yards numbered 75 loads, against 90 loads last week and EO for the week previous. While there w i- e few If any strictly prime cat tle in this week's offerings, there was a fair average of good bu'eher stock. On Monday morning markets opened strong and active at an advance of 10 to 15c per cwt, on the previous Monday. Some dealers report an advance of 25c per cwt. on handy grades of butcher stock. Since Monday markets have weakened a shade, but altogether prices have been better than last week. Drovers report that cost of cattle In Chicago is higher this week than laSt, but are better satisfied with their dealings this week, as the advance here was greater than there. This morning all the offerings had changed hands though there were a few still in the hands of retailers. The highest price obtained this week so far as could be learned was f4 75. and ouly a few touched this figure. Primes would have easily brought 25c per cwt above this figure in car-" load lots. There were no choice fresh cows iu this week's offerings. Such wonld have com manded $45 per head. The best offered sold at $30 per head. The supply of calves was fully equal to demand at a rango of 56c peril, according to quality. Rough, heavy calves, or wnat are Known to the trade as grassers, sold at 23Kc per ft. Sheep nnd Lnmbv. The quality of offerings this week has hardly been up to the standard. Few natives have been on the market for a week or two past. AtHerr's Island there were only 23 sheep and lambs on sale this week, when 300 to 400 head is the usual quantity. This morning there were three loads on the market at East Liberty all Western sheep. One of these loads, which averaged 102 lbs to the head, sold at $5 35 per cwt, acd an other, averaging 112 lbs, brought 55 60. The re maining load was offered at S3 63, but np to the time of our leaving tho yards had found no takers. Western wcthers.lt seems, do not como to our markets in as good condition as the home grown. Where corn is in greatest abundance it is most sparingly fed; and as our markets have been largely dependent on tho West for sheep and lambs of late, consumers have been getting a larger share of dry, tough mutton than usual. The hog markets have been fairly steady this week as compared with last. At Chicago prices are a shade higher. Top prices there this morning, according to advices received by one of our leading pork packers, was $4 15, and at East Liberty $4 304 35. At the latter yards SI 40 was asked for a load this morning, but buyers were not disposed to catch on. On the 12th of March, 1889, the top price of hogs at East Liberty was $5 15, a difference of 75c per cwt from rates to-day. OlcCnll & Co.'a Weekly Review.

Scnrclty of Car and Other Canies Reduce Shipments Ovens That May be Idle Ramon of a Coming Deal A Week'. Statistic!. rSFECIAI. TELT.GEAM TO THE DIgFATCH.I SCOTTDAI.E, March 12. Shipments of coke are still on the decline and tho coke trade can not be said to be running in the same groove it was the preceding fortnight, Thero has been a radical change in the general situation, which is attributed to cars being scarce and consumers taking only immediate requirements. The Indications are that shipments will be greatly hindered this week on account of scarcity of cars, which for two months past has been unknown. The scarcity of cars and num erous blockades are having their effect on Eastern and Western shipments. There are enough individual cars for the Mahoning and Sbenango Valley trade. The Puhxsutawney region resuming has had no bad effect on Eastern trade, for tho coke region, and it is almost safe to say that no or ders have left the coke region on account of tne auvance in price. iue car scnrclty may he remedied in two weeks or oven less time, and the situation which now seems greatly changed and to the detriment of operators may be made favorable again. The coke operators, ex cept those who have their own cars, are com plaining, and it may culminate in many of tho plants laying off two days next week, Noifn About the Woiki. The H. C. Frick, McClnre and other large coke companies will lay their work's idle one dav each week until there is revival in trade. The Parrisb. Palrchance. Stewart. Fountain and other furnace plants may make six days a week tor some time yet. Rumor has it that the HC Frick Coke Com pany are negotiating for the purchase of the Fairchance furnace and ovens. An operator stated to your correspondent to-day bo looked for the deal to be consummated soon, as the Frick Company was quite anxious for that plant. It consists of 90 ovens, of which 84 are at present in operation. It is located in the southern end of the region. The Mahoning plant of 100 ovens is idle again on account of water accumulating in the mine, and as a result tbe Camhrla iron Company, owners, of which Isaac Taylor Is lessee, are compelled to buy coke lor their individual use. They operate ironworks lnjohastown. The Hecla Company operated their works but lour days last week. Shipments last week averaged over 964 cars per day, while tbe shipments ot the week be fore averaged over 1.030 cars -ner day. The shipments, with a total of 6,785 can. were du- trlhuted ns follows: To points west of Pitts burg. 3.425 cars: to Pittsburg and river, 1,260 cars; to points east of Pittsburg, 1.100 cars.

Chicago Trade in wheat was rather slow to day. Early in the morning there was a fair business, but after that the market ruled uninteresting. The market opened at yester day's closing, advanced c, eased off some and ruled quiet and steady and closed about He higher than yesterday. There were no features. Some crop damage reports wereaeain received. Kansas reported colder weather after several days' rain and some damage to the crop, though from some other sources reports of damago were denied. The Michigan State Agricultural Department reported that, out of 851 corre spondents, some 565 report more or less dam age to wheat in February. Corn was quiet and in the greater part of the session very little interest being manifested. The feeling was steady, a rather firmer under tone being apparent. Operations were large'ly local, a prominent trader selling largely of May. The market opened a shade under the closing yesterday, changed little, closing nearly the same as yesterdav. Oats were quiet and steady. May was the only month traded in, and prices fluctuated only i4c Quite an active business was transacted in pork, but the feeling was somewhat unsettled. Shorts were anxious to purchase, while the offers were moderate, and the competition be tween buyers resulted in forcing prices up 15 20c. At the improvement offerings were en larged, and prices gradually settled back again K10c, and closed steady. Lard A fairly active trade was reported. Prices were advanced 25c in the middle of the session, but sold back again, and closed comparatively steady at about medium figures. Short Rib Sides A moderately active trade was reported, and the feeling was steadier, though the improvement in prices was slight. ne leaning imures rangea as rouows: WHEAT No. 2, March, 7777277Q 77Kc: Mav. 78J478K7878,&c; July, 76 767607bjc.

Choice grades of domestic Swiss cheese are very firm, and prices are likely soon to advance. The same is true of all good cheese. Poultry supply is largely up to demand and prices are firm. There is a scarcity of fancy apples and outside quotations are easily obtained. The demand for seeds is very slow for the time of year. The condition of roads is such that farm ers are not yet able to get through for their purchases. Plowing, too, bas been delayed by rains.
