What iley Want and What Thejr Don't Want Set Forth. TUB KEWS AliD GOSSIP OP THE CITI. One of the big deals in real estate which have been frequently alluded to of late as hanging fire on .account of differences in regard to values, was extricated from the tangle and closed up yesterday, if report be true, and it came from a source leaving little doubt of its correctness. The transac tion consisted of the sale of 11 acres fronting on Btanton avenne and forming part of the Xegley estate. The consideration approxi mates 580,000, being at the rate of $7,272 an acre. The purchasers are understood to De Mr. J. N. Schoonmater and another, whose name could not be ascertained. It is their intention to erect a number of fine residences on the property, which Bill be rented to select tenants. Neville Inlanders Protest. Concerning the proposed improvement of Neville Island, about which there has been considerable talk within the past few months, there seems to be two sides which are decidedly antagonistic to each other. About all the light that has so far been turned on the subject has come from the syndicate represented by B. C. Christy and J. M. Miller, whose scheme is to purchase land and lay it out in lots. To ascer tain the opinions of the other side and get at the bottom of the matter. The Dispatch representative yesterday called on Air. John M. Chaplin, manager of the Pittsburg Clearing Bouse, who expressed the views of the dis sentients. He said: -I regard the scheme as proposed by Messrs. Christy and Miller as detrimental to the best in terests of tbo island. It is opposed by more than four-fifths of the property holders, mainly from the fact that they have agreed among themselves to open an avenne in the center of the island 90 feet wide, in the middle of which will be an electric road with drives on each side, which would afford all the transportation necessary for the products of the island and give adequate transit to the inhabitants to the heart of the city as quickly as could be done by steam cars. One ol the strongest objections to the proposed steam railroad, which is a part of the Christy-Miller plan, is the demand Tor 40 leet in addition to the 80 feet already given for the avenue, as tbo island is entirely too narrow to stand the loss of so much land, upon which nearly all the inhabitants depend for a living. Out of this grows the apprehension that the railroad, once getting a foothold, would make further encroachments until it would absorb the entire island, or if not quite so avaricious that it would establish cattle yards, switches, etc, and thus destroy the value ot the place for residence purposes and turn it completely over to Mammon. The electric road is all we want. It would not only be ornamental, quiet and clean, but it would appreciate the value of property at least three fold. The talk of opening streets and alleys and laying out a large number of small lots on so diminutive a bit of ground. Is perfectly ab surd. What we want are large lots and hand some residences, so as to induce a good class of people to settle on the island and take pride in the adornment of the place, thus maintaining its beauty, lam confident the syndicate will Jail to carry out their scheme, from the fact that it meets the almost unanimous opposition of the residents." The above statement was submitted to Mr. Pittock and several other prominent citizens of the island, and it was approved by them as ex actly expressing their views. Bnalnea News and Gossip. A number of handsome improvements will be made in the hill district of Allegheny this season. Few workingmen In Pittsburg are so poor as to be unable to buy a lot and have a house put on it.

Charles Sonicrs & Co., under present and prospective conditions, prices of realty in and about Pittsburg cannot be expected to remain stationary.

Lots in Benton place, Allegheny, are selling at from $200 to $300 each. The situation is ad mirable and the surroundings pleasant. Quite a number of improvements are going up and others are projected. At the annual meeting of the Thorn Creek Oil Company yesterday, officers were elected, namely: William Gnokert, President; J. B.

The only event of Interest that transpired at either of the three stock calls yesterday was a break in 8 witch and Signal from 17 at the close on Monday to 15fc, with 16 bid. There was no apparent reason for the concession, except to make a record. The natural gassers were nominally un changed, except Pipeage, which was a trine weaker. Central and Citizens' Traction dropped a fraction each. Pleasant Valley also failed to maintain its advanced position, in which It had the company of Westinghonse Electric La Noria improved a cent. Trading was fair, sales amounting to 3S5 hares, against 2 the previous day. The weak ness was due entirely to a lack of supporting orders, there being no chance in any of the companies to move values either way. TtRST SBCOXD THIRD CALL. CALL. CALL. B A B A B A Alleu'y N.

Checking and depositing were brisk, the latter being of sufficient volume to present a material diminution ol resources. The Clearing House report was favorable showing a heavy trade on Monday, which is so rare as to be an encouraging sign of the times. The exchanges were $2,683,382 72 and the bal ances $405,625 72. The fact that the clearings have not fallen below $2,000,000 for two months or more, and frequently rising above $3,000,000, shows not only a prosperous condition of trade, but steadiness and regularity, which lie at the bottom of public confidence and invite in vestments.

A Bulge In Railroad SbRrra In Spite of Western Demoralization Chicago sufd London Lock Horn na Bayer nad Seller. New Yoke; May 13. The reactionary condi tion of the market yesterday was not duplicat ed to-day, but instead of the weakness there was decided strength in all portions of the list, and Iato in the day even buoyancy marked the dealing. There was no lack of the disquieting news from the West this morning, and while there seemed to be a disposition to regard the whole thing as grossly exaggerated by the dis patches, a feeling of hesitancy was shown which did not entirely wear away until late in the day, when the activity became equal to anything yet seen on the present rise. Tho Chicago people supported their advices of rate-cutting and railroad demoralization in general with orders to sell the granger stocks, but London was a buyer, and commission bouses were liberally supplied with orders to buy, which mado the sales fall at the very out set, and while the opening itself was very hesi tating and irregular prices were soon on the upward tack and a strong tone marked the dealing from that time out. The flurry in money was not repeated,though the rates were run up to as high as 8 per cent in the middle ot the day. They could not be kept there, however, and last loans were made at S per cent, with that rate offered at the close. The most important influence in creating the buoyant tone to the market was the persistent bulling of the Industrial stocks, and Sugar was bought heavily, scoring a rise of over 4 per cent at its best figure. Mr. Keene is believed to be the most active manipulator of the certificates, and while the roomtraders followed him rather timidly, the buying was of snch a pronounced character that nothing could respect the strength of the upward movement.. The only strong feature of the forenoon was the Coal stocks, which again made material advances, though the two active stocks, Reading and Lackawanna, were not so pronounced in their movements as the inactive ones. Jersey Cen tral and Delaware and Hudson. The Vander bllts were strong, but not prominent in the dealings, and their movements were in all cases measured by small fractions. London bought most of its favorites; there was some selling of Union Pacific and the Grangers for foreign ac count, especially in the forenoon, bnt this was reversed in the afternoon. The buying became general in the last hour, and the rush to cover aborts sent everything on the list np rapidly, Richmond and West Point becomlne one of the most prominent strong featnre ot the mar ket at the time. . The close was very active and strong at about the best figures of the day in April cases.

Railroad bonds were not 80 active to-day, but the trading extended to $1,945,000, with the Atlantio and Pacific issues, the Atchi son issues and tho Texas Pacific issues most prominent for activity. The market was again rather hesitating, and the final changes 'are in bnt few cases of special Importance The losses are rare The Atlantic and Pacific issues were the strong feature, and the incomes rose 2, to 21. The Post says: The advance in the Coal stock was caused by short covering and some buying for the long account. The selling of the Grangers was based on the reports ot rate troubles among the Western roads, but the de cline on the general market was merely the re sult of realization of profits. The news of the forenoon was not favorable to any advance in prices, but the reports ot rate cutting, etc, from the West must be received with consid erable allowance The following table shows the prices or active stocks on the Mew York Stock Exchange yester day.

FLODE FIEM ENOUGH TO iDTAKCE office of pittsihtko Dispatch, 1 Tuesday, May 13, 1890. f Country Produce Jobbing Prices. Heavy rains all over the country have kept back stuff, and trade is quiet Strawberries are In very short supply, but the remedy is traveling this way as fast as steam power will bring it, and full supplies are expected by to morrow. Cabbage from the South is coming in freely and prices are weakening. Potatoes.of choice quality are firm. Markets have been glutted with poor stock for a few weeks past, but this is now well cleaned up. Eastern mar kets are firmer, and there is a strong undertone of confidence in the future of the trade here. String beans are scarce and firm. Elgin cream ery butter is not so firm as it has been for the week past Choice nearby eggs are very active at outside quotations. A Liberty street jobber said to-day: "I sold out all my stock at 12c per dozen, and conld have sold as much more if I had bad it to sell. An Allegheny huckster gave me an order for all nearby stock I could lay my hands on at this figure." Butter Creamery, Elgin, 2122c; Ohio do, 1920c; country rolls, 1416c.

Damp Dismal Drizzle Holiness Golan Ahead as Uanal. In an uncomfortably constant downpour, riv;r business went on steadily yesterday. The view down the streams was dreary and oppressing. The bluffs were bidden by a veil of mist, and In coming or outgoing boats had not cone SO yards when they were swallowed up In floating vapor. The water Is falling slowly. It height was regis tered as 12 feet 3 inches on the Wood street gauge at 4 p. M. The rains will not materially affect the rivers tor a dav or two. A rise may then be looked for. Large cargoes were shipped and landed by all the packets, and goodly crowds of passengers arrived and departed. Boats and Boatmen. Tils Sam Brown arrived In Cincinnati Monday with coal. The Ii. A Sherley left Cincinnati Monday for this port. Tux towboats Eagle and Sam Miller arrived here yesterday afternoon. The Hornet No. 2 went out CAPTAINS P. J. FOBSYTHE, John Horen and W. J. Wood, of the coal trade, are in Cincinnati from Pittsburg. THE Lizzie Bay, of the W., P. A L. line, arrived here from Cincinnati yesterday, and departed In the evening. THE Alex Swirt took a tow for Brown & Sons yesterday. Late in the evening some coal was sent upstream. THE Belle McOowen. from Pittsburg, arrived In Cincinnati Monday with a coal tow, and after de livering a p'brtlon of it proceeded on her way to Louisville. Captain Abraham Smith, one of the oldest captains In New Orleans, Is dying with palsy and paralysis in the Town Infirmary In that city. He was born in 1831. The Germanla packet will go at once on the docks for overhauling. When she is again put in commission the Pittsburg, Brownsville and Ge neva Company will run three boats. THE Andes, of the P. & C, also came In and went ont She had an unusually large cargo. James Gardiner, the Andes' clerk, Is accompanied by his wife on this trip, and Clerk Slavln, of the same boat also brings his better-half along. THE Harry Brown, with a tow of 18 boats of coal, arrived In Memphis Monday evening from the Ohio river, for the Pittsburg Coal Company. The Smoky City, with a tow of empty coal barges, passed up at 5 p. ii. for the Ohio river. The packet James G. Blaine, of the Pittsburg, Brownsville and Geneva line, arrived here on Monday night on her first trip since she was tied up for repairs. She has been handsomely re painted and thoroughly overhauled. The Blaine has been having a holiday since February 4. THE wharfmaiter is much put out on account of his inability to discover the owner of a lot of pig .metal which was landed here over nine days ago. The load is addressed to a Mr. Plerrepont but the most vigorous search has failed to find this Indi vidual's address. If the load ramalns mnch longer on the wharves It may have to be sold to pay storage rates.

N Few diseases cause more pain and suffer ing than rheumatism; persons afflicted with that disease, or who have friends troubled by'it, will, we believe, be delighted to learn that it can be cured. The following from Mr. J. A. Stum, Des Moines, la., is only one of the many severe cases that have promptly yielded to Chamberlain's Pain Balm, Mr. Stum says: "I suffered with the terrible disease for four weeks and used everything I conld think ol without success until I commenced using Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which gave me almost immedi ate relief. I am now perfectly well from it For stiff joints I never saw its equal, and take great pleasnre in recommending it to my friends and all others who may be af flicted with rheumatism. For sale by E.

Chicago Speculations Fnlllnu Iato the Hot Nearly Everything- Lacks Vim Pork Continue! Its Downward Movement Fears of n Boomerang. CHICAGO There was only moderate trading In wheat to-day. Most of it was local. Opera tors were rather inclined to the selling side, but were reluctant about trolng short for fear the market might advance, tbe conditions being such that the market is easily controlled. A prominent trader was reported as being a rather free seller, and tbe bull Interest sold moderately, realizing on their holdings. At the same time there was fair buying on the various breaks,and the market was held within a moderate range. Tbe opening was easier at about yesterday's closing for July, declined, with only slight fluctuations 2c then advanced c, again eased off. fluctuated some and closed about lle lower than yesterday. May was very quiet and closed about lKc lower, and June lKc loVrer. There was nothing special in outside news to affect the course of tho market There was a large business transacted in corn within narrow limits, and the feeling was a little unsettled though generally steady. There was nothing new of consequence de veloped, and prices were governed mainly by local Influences, chiefly by the operations of a prominent local trader. There was a good de mand for cash, and May and the premium of July over this month was reduced at the time to6ic. The market opened excited and higher, first" Sales varying considerably in dif ferent parts of the pit, but afterward sold c, ruled steadier and closed a shade lower than yesterday. Oats were traded in fairly early, but tbe lat ter part of the session was marked by quiet ness. A firmer feeling prevailed, especially on tbe near futures. May advanced Kc June c and this was partly maintained. Most of the trading was In July, and prices fluctuated fre quently within a range of 3c. and at one time sold at Ha above the closing figures of yester day, but closed with c gain. Only a few trades, were made In pork. The feeling was easy with prices 1015c lower, the market closing tamo at Inside figures. Lard attracted very little attention. There were no price changes.
