THE PTTTSBURG- DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY, APKIL 9, 1890.. FEATURES OF TEADE. An East End Stockman Furnishes Some Items of General Interest CONCERKIXG A TBIF TO WT0MI5G. Present Situation and Outlook of theTVhole sale Shoe Trade. GOOD PRODUCE EATHEE SCABCE KOW OrricE or Pittsburg Dispatch Tuesday. April 8, 189a $ An East Liberty stockman, who has just returned from a trip through 'Wyoming and Montana, in an interview yesterday ex pressed himselt as believing that cattle were bound to be higher in price the coming sea son than they have been for a year or more. Said he: "I am confident that through the cattle raising-region south and west of great Rollins in "Wyoming Territory, the number of cattle on the ranches has fallen off 50 per cent from the number of the average scasou. Early last fall continuous rains rotted the grass in that section, and this being followed by the heaviest snows for years ranchmen in the North Park region were compelled to drive their cattle southward the past winter in search of grassy vallers and places where there was food for their herds. In the eastern part of Wyoming and western part of Colorado there is plenty, and the less favored sections, are forced to draw supplies from those sources. Stockmen in Western Wyoming are now shipping feeders to markets, a thing unusual in the trade. This is due to advance in prices of cattlo and failure of hay and grass in that section. Prices are now $1 a hundred more than at this time last year tor stockers, and they are being freely shipped to points eastward, where grain and hay are abundant and cheap. "The general feeling through the cattle regions of Montana and Wyoming is that all grades of lire stock must advance. Tbe out side price for stock cattle in Wyoming last fall wasiJic. Kow the outside price is 3Kc.andat tbe advance prices are very firm. The enly class of cattle selling low are mixed herds. The advance has not yet reached this grade, but probably will if tbe upward movement con tinues. All cat lie buyers at this stage seem to u ant steers. There are reported to be 90.000 Texas steers now on tbe way from that State to the ranches of Wyoming and Montana. When I left Wyoming last week tho price of yearlincs was $S 00 to $10 00: 2-year olds, $12 00 to SH 00, and 3-year olds, $16 00 to f 18 00. These prices are an advance on rates of last season at this time, and all stockmen I met expressed the belief that we n ere on the verge ot a higher jiriced era in cattle lines." Jobbing Shoe Trade. One of our foremost jobbers of shoes said tn-day: "Our April trade starts uncomfortably slow, and tbere is a good reason for it In tbe wretched condition of country roads through Pittsburg's trade territory. Our traveling men bave found it utterly impossible of lato to get to their customers without walking. The country districts, from which a large part of our trade comes, has been shut in from the business world for months past. We expect to make up for lost time when the weather settles and roads become passable. "Prices are not materially changed from last year. There i, however, a crowing demand for better grades of goods. This is due to tbe general prosperity of this section and to the fact that people are waking up to the idea that high-priced shoes are the cheapest in the end. For gentlemen's wear lace and congress shoes are now the rage. Ladies and children only call for button shoes to any great extent. "Rubber goods ere advanced 12 per cent on April lowing to the advance on raw materials in Brazil from 63c to 85c per pound. "While manufacturers of rubber goods will be forced to carry over until next season an un usual amount of rubber goods, ttocks are light in the hands of jobbers and retailers in this section." As to Produce Slnrkels. The domestic market column reveals the fact that cereals are on a boom, while butter and eggs are demoralized. The advance in grain and hay is no doubt largely due to the difficulty of getting stuff to the market. Tbere is an abundance in the land and there is little doubt that the upward movement will soon be ar rested. There are no substantial reasons in sight for any great bull movement iu cereals. Good roads will, it is believed, soon correct thp present scarcity, and a l eaction to the present activity is likely to come soon. The season is fully on for lower priced butter and advices from the West already point to a sharp decline. LITE STOCK MARKETS. The Condition of Business at the East Liberty Stock Yards.

A Gosd Movement In Wheat-Mny Higher and July Lower Traders Rnttled by tbe St. I.onU Failure Perk Unsettled. CHICAGO A good business was transacted lb wheat to-day and tbe feeling was unsettled and somewhat feverish. Fluctuations at times w ere rapid and frequent, and the failure of a prominent St. Louis trader helped to unsettle affairs somewhat. Tbe market opened rather weak at a shade under j esterday's closing and immediately declined-KSsC. and tnen ad' vanced Kc, fluctuated some little time, and then receded Kc for May and Xc SaT July, but later advanced lc for May and 7c for July, and tbe closing was c liieber for May and o lower for July than yesterday. There was not much news of any kind from the outside, and the market was governed by speculative influences. Corn was traded in to a fair extent, the mar ket ruling a little irregular within compar atively narrow limits. Tbe bulb of business was in" May and July, the latter in particular receiving unusual attention. The straits were reported open and vesselmen were pteparing to move out tbe fleet. Oats The market was inactive and Meadier, but prices were confined to a smaller range. Closing prices showed a slight gain ovi?r those of jesterday. A fairly active business was done in rprk, but the feeling was somewhat unsettled. Early prices advanced 10c, later, the fee line crowing easier, prices settled bacK again 7i0c To ward the close the feeling was steadier and the market closed with the greater portion of the advance lost.

HOW REAL ESTATE LOOKS TO AN EXPERT A report obtained considerable currency on Fourth aveuue yesterday evening, in substance that Mr. Americus Holmes had sold his Fifth avenue property a lrontage of 120 feet to McMasters alley at a steep figure. Mr. Holmefl was seen and asked for particulars. He said: "Such a report is out, is it? Well, it's news to me. If I've sold I don't know it Tbe author of the story must be mistaken." That settled it. Messrs. W. A. Herron & Sons yesterday placed the lollowing mortgages on city property: One of ?20,000 at 6 per cent, one of S11.000 at 5 3-10 per cent, and one of S6.000 at 5 per cent. Samuel W. 'Black & Co. yesterday placed a mortgage of 816,500 on Third avenue property for two years at 6 per cent. There was a SI 6,000 deal In acre property at Hazelwood yesterday, but particulars were un obtainable. It seems to be settled that there will be no boom, no inflation, no kite-flying in Pittsburg real estate. This is encouraging. It means an active, steady market. In regard to this matter one of the most prominent real estate brokers in tbe city said yesterday: "A year ago 1 was fearful tbat tbe activity in realty would have a bad effect upon owners, by encouraging them to put up prices beyond the reach of ordinary buyers But I was mistaken. They have not done so, and thereby showed their good sense. It is true property is higher now than it was a year ago, but the city contains more people and has more business. It would be foolish to expect property to remain stationary under such conditions Like everything else it keeps pace with the demand. There is no danger in this It is legitimate The danger lies in out stripping the demand. But this is not likely, or it would bave been attempted long ago. "At present the market is working quietly and smoothly. There are fewer new buyers than usual, but sales in a regular way are respectable in number and value. A great many important deals are under wav, but as they involve large amounts of money it takes time to bring them to a conclusion. Tbere are no indications of a waning interest. 1 look forward to a season of great activity. Tbe market is not oversold, and there is no scarcity of good property for all purposes improved and unimproved." A great change is in progress along the Ohio river which will bring real estate In that section into eqnal prominence with that in any other locality adjacent to the city. California avenue is being opened to the full width of 60 feet. This is an important Improvement and should be pushed vigorously. A fine bridge across McClure avenue is under way and will be com pleted in a short time. A 60-foot street has been opened to Jack's Run, where another bridge will be erected to connect Allegheny with Bellvernon, the Coun cil of which place is considering the question of granting right of way for an electric road, which will no doubt be granted and the road be built as soon as possible to Dixmont, and prob ably to Bewickley, In order to head off another company which proposes to build one along the New Brighton road. The road first mentioned is now running cars to Strawberry lane. When completed, as proposed, it will open up some very fine residence property. It will pass through Emsworth one of the liveliest and most romantically situated little towns on the route, where there are a large number of fine sites for county residences equal to anything in tho East End and much cheaper. Further down, the new town of Clif ton is being laid out, with good prospects of rapid growth. It will cover about all the ground between Emsworth and Dixmont: but plenty of land is still available in good loca tions, either In blocks or lots in and around Emsworih, Laurel and Avalon at moderate figures The oil craze has struck these communities pretty hard, and everybody is waiting to see what it will amount to. The people, however, have not permitted the excitement to divert their attention entirely from ordinary affairs Tbere is a good inqniry for building sites, and a large number of houses will go up this year, oil or no oiL LOCAL SECURITIES. A Brief Spurt In Pleasnnt Talley Railway Several Weak Spots. The feature of the stock market yesterday was a brisk demand for Pleasant Valley. It sold un to 2 but weakened off and closed at 27. Wheeling Gas was also stronger. The weak spots were Philadelphia and Char tiers Gas, Central Traction and Switch and Signal, all of which showed fractional conces sions. Trading was very slow In the forenoon. After dinner tbe brokers concluded to fill some of their orders, and this caused quite a spurt of activity.

A GOOD RECORD. Bankers Report n Good, Steady Business, Willi Fine Prospect Ahead. The second day of the week is generally con sidered an off day for business, but last Mon day was an exception to tbe rule. It held its own in comparison with other days, and raised the bank clearings as reported yesterday, to a high fignre S2.501.161 19. The balances were in fair proportion, S450.8JS OS. This serves to show that Pittsburg trade is not spasmodic, bnt steady and reliable. While tbere was nothing strikingly new in the local money market yesterday, there were no weak or discouraging features There was a good supply of tbe needful, for'whicb there was a moderate demand from business sources. There was no change in rates, but some shading was admitted for first-class paper. The out look for busy times, now almost at hand, was admitted to be all that could be desired. Money on call at New York yesterday was easy at 44 per cent, last loan 4, closed offered at 4. Prime mercantile paper, 57. Sterling exchange quiet at H 85 for 60-day bills, and SI for demand.

It opened off a small fraction, but acquired strength later on, and recorded a handsome ad vance, with a fair amount of business. Nobody seemed to know what put it up any more than they knew what put it down. It is probable the shorts were seized with one of their periodical scares, made a dive for the stuff and got hit. Tney are always hit when they make amove. New York and Pittsburg were tbe bull points. Tbe close was steady at next to the highest point of the day. The extreme fluctuations were: Opening, 79Kc; highest, 80c; lowest, 79Jc: closing. S05c. Monday's clearances were 514.000 barrels. The only important news from the Hundred foot district, Butler county, yesterday was that several wells were about to be abandoned as dusters. The Sheffield district is not yet entirely worn out. Hague & Grandin's No.12 on lot 169, which started out at 150 barrels an bour about a week ago, is completed and doing 1,000 barrels a day. The North Fenn Oil Company's No. 4, on lot 197, is making 150 barrels a day, and Hnrton, Crary & Co.'s Nn. 10, which started at 1,000 bar rels a day when brought in last week, is now producing 400 barrels a day. Their No. 7 on lot 196 is doing 100 barrels a day. Tbey completed lour wells last week, three ot them being dry, and six drilling. Tbe North Penn Oil Com pany has rour drilling wells in the field and Hague & Grandln two. A good strike has been made near Tltusville at the Northern Oil Company's.well in the En glish settlement, six miles north of Titusville, that is doing 100 barrels a day; This strike opens up six miles of new territory, as it ex tends the old Church Run belt. The Forest Oil Company has bonght out the United Oil and Gas Trust property, consisting of 100,000 acres ot territory in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, and 17 producing wells with a daily production of about 250 bar rels The price is not named. Gaily Bros.' No. 1, on the Rea farm in tbe Westview field, is a dry hole Deyond much doubt, as it is so far in the sand tbat there is but little hope of getting oil. Griffith's Wild wood well is making about 300 barrels a day. Features of Saturday's Oil Market Corrected daily by John M.

Unlisted Shares Prevent Total Stngnntlon In Wall Street A Few Good Fen- tares and Many Bad Ones No Important Changes. Hew York, April 8. The stock market to day was Intensely dull in the regular list but showed some animation in the unlisted depart ment, with a few wide changes in the special ties to save the dealings from utter stagnation. Nut one of tbe usually active stocks fluctuated over a range of more than M per cent, and while Union Pacific, Atchison, Lackawanna, Chicago Gas and St. Paul were more active than the rest of the list, there was no interest in cither of them. Tbe news of tbe day, especially that from tbe West, was rather discouraging, and tbe gen eral disposition was to await further develop ments in regard to the Western railroad situa tion. This only restricted trading and failed to cause any weakness in the market anywhere. The bears were afraid to hammer the list after their experience with Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Reading yesterday, and tho last stock was very active to-day. Tbe unlisted department was unusually prominent to-day, and some buying of Sugar by the traders upon the discovery that there were more buying orders than selling orders in tbe market a material rise was brought about iu the stock. Tho buying in of a moderate amount of Cohorn silver mining stock for the account of tbe Sistares served to increase the total details, but had no effect upon the mar ket. Tbe great feature of tbe day was tho unusual activity and strength in Manhattan, which not only had the advantage of large earnings of late, but also reports of the advantageous set tlement of a large number of damage suits against the company. Among the low-priced sbares Wheeling and Lake Erie was again prominent. The Rio Grande Western stocks spurted up sharply, but Evansville and Terre Haute, of which tbe last sale was at 120, dropped back to 111 to-day. The market presented no further feature of inter est, and at tbe closing- was intensely dull and steady at about first prices Sugar rose 1 and Manhattan 1. itanroau uonas continued nninnuencea oy the forces at work upon tbe share list, and a moderate business with little positive character was transacted. 'The sales reached 51,447,000, out of which 8153,000 were Atchison incomes, 8115,000 Atchison 4s and 8102,000 TJnluth, South Shore and Atlantic" There were very few changes ot note and no positive tendency of prices in either direction: The Post rays one of the features about the present condition of the stock market is the disposition on tbe part of newsmongers to "stir it up" by false repirts and tbe wildest kind of exaggerations about such events in connection with stocks An instance of tbe latter was in tbe reports of the Sistare failure yesterday, which were exaggerated in some of the city papers until their accounts pt it early elicited laughs of ridicule from tbe best informed Stock Exchange men. Tbe financial weakness of tbe Sistares has been so well known in the Stock. Exchange for some months that it is absurd to think that they could bave made anv sudden or unexpected disbursement o'f S250.000 or even 8100,000 by a defal cation or otherwise. Their , capital had been too much reduced two years ago and by various events and complicatlops, some of them dating back as far as tbe famons Han nibal and St, Joe corner, to make it possible for them to lose any large sums very recently. There was unquestionable sympathy on the part of every right-minded man on tbe Stock Exchange for an old house compelled to sua Canada So. Idi."...'.. tiff pend, but it was no surprise to the majority. It was a clear case of "dry rot" The bad effect of tbe exaggerations which appeared in some of the dailies Is that outside of New York the sensation grows in proportion to the distance it travels, and makes people think something more serious to business has occurred.

"Yes, putting crape on pallbearersat funerals has gone out of style, and at the best class of funerals we dispense with this ceremony," said Director James J. Flannery yesterday to a Dispatch reporter. "A great many peo ple stick to tbe custom, bnt It is fast pass ing away like a great many other things Tbe tendency now is for something quiet, and the less display made suits the majority of people better. "Dispensing with the crape is following out the idea of discontinuing its use on the hats of mourners. Some years ago it was tbe custom to bave a heavy piece ot crape tied around tbe hatband with tbe ends hanging down. This is entirely nnheard of now. In caskets the ten dency is for something neat and not gaudy. Yes, tbe chief-recommendation for dispensing with the crape is that it saves so much money to tbe afflicted family." THE CONDITION PEHFOKMrJD. A Legacy of 50 Cents Left Chief of Police Murphy by Mrs. St. Clair. Chief of Police Murphy was the recipient of a 50-cent silver piece last night that was a legacy from a Mrs. St. Clair, who died some weeks ago and bequeathed it to him.

Tuesday is usually one of tbe best days for trade in this line, but April showers Interfered to some extent, and transactions were light. Butter and eggs are drooping, and our prices are lowered in accordance with stubborn facts. The mild weather of late is bringing out na ture's food for cows, and tbe result is seen in lower prices for butter. Markets are well sup plied with all seasonable green stuff, and prices tend to a lower level. Potatoes are a shade weaker here, owing to liberal supplies, but at sources of supply are firmly beld, and there is a strong undertono to markets in this line.

Corn, cbolce hay, oats and millfeed are all very scarce, and mar kets continue very firm at the advance. A bull movement has been inaugurated and specula latlve Influences are beginning to appear, a thing unknown for some time past in cereal markets. The greatest advance has been in corn, wbich rates from 45c per bushel higher than last week. Better weather and roads will probably check the upward movement by en abling farmers to bring their stuff to markets. This they have not been able to do for a month or two past. Loose timothy bay bas been par ticularly scarce for the good reason that it has been impossible to haul it over the roads lead ing into the city.
