THE; PITTSBURG- DISPATCH;? - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1890. :&ARDBKER'S OUTLOOK The Backward Season, While Unfa vorable to Consumers, IS ADYAKTAGEOUS TO PRODUCERS. less Work to Do and Much Better Prices Becelred for Stuff. A GOOD TEAE POE DAIET PRODUCTS OFFICE OF rnTSBTJRO DISPATCH, ) Tuesday. June 3, 1S90. ( An interview to-day with a market gar dener who cultivates 27 acres of ground within a half dozen miles of the city limits elicited some facts of interest to the general public Said he: "In my time there has been a complete revolution in the gardener's trade in this vicinity. The land I am now working was worked by my father more than a half century ago. "When he first invested the cost of ground was $70 per acre. Now it it valued at $1,000 per acre. My recollec tion of gardening goes back to war times, when everything produced by the earth commanded high prices. Then it paid to bring hay, potatoes and watermelons to, Pittsburg markets. My father gathered in many an honest dollar at the old Scotch Hill market on Second avenue, by selling sweet potatoe'and watfrmelons to the old-timers, in those old days there was no competition with Southern markets. Railroads bad not then pridirnned the conntry, and fruit and vegetables from Tennessee and Maryland were an unknown quantity in Pittsburg markets. Gardeners in this section were monarchs of all they surveyed, and their rights there were none to dispute. But with the advent of railroads reaching to all sections of the land there came great changes in our occupation. If we attempted now to follow in the same lines as our fathers we would be left every time. The same meth ods followed now as a quarter of a century ago would bring starvation. Our main dependence at this day is on early garden stuff. Ground has become too valuable in the vicinity ot Pittsburg for lato crops. Enrly Fruits nnd YeBetnbles. 'Early corn,tomatoes,asparagus. etc., are now our mainstay. In the line of late stuff we are no longer able to competo with gardeners and farmers at a distance, where land and labor are cheap. The early bird catches the worm, and the early gardener in this region reaps the best profits. Our best profits of late years are from early corn. Last year I brought to this market fully 2,000 bushels of roasting ears, and prices avt aged SI per bushel. One-half of the re ceijv, probably, went to expenses in the way of taxes, labor, freight, etc Boasting cars do not bear long shipment, and hence, that which omes from the South cannot coiapetcwith the home grown article. We consider that we are doing well to have corn ready for market by the 4th of July. Prospects are that this year it will be later than usnaL There was some Southern corn on the market last Saturday, but it was very poor etuff. Gardeners' prospects for this season, arc so far, satisfactory. To be sure, the season has been backward, and the yield has been below average. But this is inore than offset by the better prices we have received for stuff. AVe have had better prices for our asparagus, lettuce, and in fact, all garden products this season, so far, than we nave been receiving for a year or two past. This means more money and less work to the producer. The consumer has to pay more for his stuff these backward seasons. But so tar as the gardener's side is concerned there is no reason to complain of the season so far." In the interview with this market gardener it was developed that the annual cost of manure for the 27 acres of land cultivated by him was not less than four hundred dollars on an aver age, and that in the busiest part of last season freight bills were up to thirty dollars per week. Dairy Products. Domestic cheese which has been in short supply for a few weeks past, is now coming in ireeiy, ana prices are likely to drop within a few days. .Prospects for a hrst-class yield were never octter at this season ot the year. Good grazing and the cool backward spring have been very favorable to a large yield and good quality of dairy products. As to Swiss style of cheese, receipts in this market have so far been very light and quality generally poor. The regular make of Sweitzer cheese is not generally ready for the market before the middle of June That now offered being made ahead of time to catch trade is in the main of poor quality. Old do mestic Sweitzer and limberger cheese are now practically out of the market for this season. Imported is scarce and higher. The prospects are for an abundant yield and excel lent quality both here and abroad. Since the first appearance of new Ohio cheese a few weeks ago supply has not been up to demand until this week. Ten days ago dealers were notable to fill orders, and double the amount of stuff in the market could have been sold. .Now there is enough and to spare, and stock begins to accu mulate. With the creat increase in sunnlv comes improvement in quality and a tendency to lower prices. . LIVE STOCK MARKETS. The Condition of Business nt the East Liberty Slock Vnrds.

Wheat Still Nervous, With Frequent Chances, bnt Trices Stronger Corn nnd Onls Shown Decided Im provement Pork Wenk. CHICAGO Wheat Trading was active to day and quite a large business was transacted. The feeling was again somewhat unsettled and the course of prices somewhat irregular. Be tween favorable weather and good crop reports from the Northwest and bad crop reports from the South and Southwest, the market is kept in an unsettled and nervous condition, causing f reauent changes. , The opening was about KC lower than closing figures of yesterday, and nrices farther declined & c. while the feeling of weakness was on. The decline was attributed to warm and favorable weather, rains in the Northwest and and West and a comparatively light ttadc The crowd had rather oversold themselves, and with good buying at the decline a stronger feeling was developed, and prices were ad vanced irregularly ljlje, eased off and closed about c higher for July. K higher for September, jc higher for August and a higher tor December than closing figures on Change yesterday. A prominent local trader was reportod as being a good buyer. Cable ad vices were generally indicative of steady and firm markets. Corn There was a good trade and prices rnled higher. The influences on the market the large receipts and fine weather, would, under ordinary circumstance, have had a weakening tendencv, bnt a good inquiry which existed for July and September from outside sources, which held prices up, operations were almost exclusively in the months mentioned. The marked opened a trifle above the closing prices of yesterday, was strong and'gradually sold up Qe, eased off a little ruled firmer and closed c better than yesterday. Oats There was an active trade at a higher range of prices on all deliveries. The strength was the most marked thing in August and September, which advanced ?c while the nearer deliveries only gained K5i. The advance- was due mainly to good buying by several operators, light offerings and a belief that arrivals will soon fall off. Mess pork A moderate trade was reported and the feeling was unsettled and irregular. Opening sales were made at 3540a decline followed quickly by a further redaction of 50c. Later the market ruled stronger, and occa sional transactions were made until an advance of 8085c was established. Toward the close the market was quit and prices settled back ofllOc and closed steady. Lard Quite a good trade was reported, but feeling was weak during the greater portion of the dav. Offerings were quite free early, and prices ruled 1012c lower. Later, a little more steadiness prevailed and prices rallied slightly, but near' the close the market was quiet aud the feeiinc rather easy. t-hort rib sides Quite a good business was transacted and the feeling was easier. Prices ruled 1012Xc lower, and the market closed quiet at about Inside figures. The leading ru tares rangea as follows: Wheat No. 2.

A Prediction Concerning an East End Locality Coining True. HOW TO - SPLIT A GRINDSTOHE. Home Stocks and Petroleum Just About Keep Their Heads Above Water. THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE TOWN A few months ago a communication from a prominent gentleman in the East End ap peared in The Dispatch, calling atten tion to the district of which Negley avenue is the center, and predicting that the drift of improvement would soon turn that way. Recent movements in that locality show that he came very near the mark. Several deals out there recently are of more than nsual significance as fixing in some degree the standard of value and show ing an active demand for property in one of finest portions of the city. One of the trans actions referred to was the sale of No. 5643 Penn avenue, lot 53x140 through to Kirkwood street for 110.750 cash, or over S200 a foot front Another lot somewhat larger brought about S220 a foot It is understood that options have been secured on several properties not far from those in question at still higher figures. now to Split n Grindstone. A workman was trying to split a grindstone and spoiled it which caused a bystander, who seemed well up in the business, to say: "Had he turned a deep groove in the stone before it was removed from Its former banging he would have had no trouble. The. groove should be three inches deep, and three-fourths of an inch wide outside tapering to as narrow a line as possible to be made at the bottom. Thisgroove done the shaft and collars to be removed and the groove driven full of dry pine wedges. Put them In carefully, all equally tight Throw the stone Into the water, let it lie over night and it will split nicely." Business News nnd Gosiip. Very little Eastern money has-been Invested in Pittsburg realty, this year home capital being sufficient to keep things moving. Three Pittsburg capitalists have just pur chased 60 acres of land in the Western edge of 'Chicago, which they will subdivide making 600 lots. They think there Is big money in the deal. Of tl mortgages reported yesterday, the largest was forS21,000. Eleven were for pur chase money. Wilkinsbnrg and Edgewood people are com plaining of the quality of the water supplied by the Pennsylvania Water Company. It is muddy and has a disagreeable taste The res ervoir has not been lined. It was again rumored yesterday that Captain Vanderzrift was dickering for the Fltzsimmons property on Fourth avenue. Several brokers were spoken to about It, but they professed ig norance pf the facts. One of them remarked: "I wish he would buy It He would make it a credit to the avenue" R. Jennings, of Brady's Bend, a prominent oil producer, Is in the city. Country bankers are bidding for city paper, showing the high standing of Pittsburg busi ness men where real worth Is supposed to be the sole rule of action. This recognition is gratify ing to local pride but so far it has failed to se cure much of the coveted paper. Norman Robinson and.S- S. PInkerton are in the wilds of Minnesota hunting and fishing. A national bank has been authorized at North Wales, Pa., with a capital of $50,000. Henry R. Swartley is the president The dressed beef rate, Cbicaeo to Boston, has been reduced from 48 to 45 cents on ac count of the alleged cutting of rates by the Canadian Pacifie movements In Real Estate.

All the Conditions Favorable for a Good Summer Business. Checking and depositing were of good volume yesterday, and there was a fair, demand for money, which was loaned at the customary rates of 67 per cent but new features were scarce Ir is the opinion of financiers that the money market will ease np a trlfle during the hot season, but they do not think.it will flatten out as it did for a while last summer, the pros pect being fair for steady work at the mills, and a liberal movement of merchandise all through the heated term. An Iron manufacturer said yesterday that the July shut-down would be brief, as orders were plenty and a fair prospect that labor troubles would bo avoided. This will keep money moving, prevent the accumulation of a large surplus, and maintain rates. Those who ex pect cheap money will therefore likely be dis appointed. This Is a cheering feature of the situation, as cheap money is a sign of stagna tion. Exchanges were S2.646.221 99, and bal ances $295,851 10.

A Three Hundred Bnrrel Well A Rig Com pletely Destroyed. lEFXCIAL TKLEQ1U.M TO THE DISPATCH. ' Belmont, W. Va., June 8. William John ston's Shingleton No. 1 came in last night and is now making about 300 barrels a day. The Blacksmith Shop well is nothing as a natural producer, but will probably make a paying well when she is shot which will be very shortly. The Ferry well, on the Ohio side of the river, has been shot and is doing SO barrels or more. Brockunier & Co.'s No. 1 struck a pocket of gas this morning about 8 o'clock unexpectedly, and the result is a pile of ashes where the rig stood yesterday. The well is close to the Hotel Belmont and the inmates of that bnilding bustled out in quick time But fortunately no damage was done except the burning of the derrick. - - AH0THEB GUSHEB. Forest Grove Still Keeping Up With the Greasy Procession. The 100-foot came to the fore again night before last at Forest Grove with a multiplicity ot reports somewhat contusing as to capacity. The first was that the Vandergrif t,Still fc Com- Iiany's No. 2, on the McKown farm, was doing 00 barrels a day, but had not been bored in. Yesterday she was variously reported at SO to 60 barrels an hour. One man said the first fig ure named wasn't far from the truth, while others said that SO to 35 barrels an hour was what she was expected to do when fully opened. AN UPWARD MOVEMENT. Wnll Street Speculation Slake n Great Show of Activity A General Upward Movement Silver Higher A Bnich of Good New. New YORK.June 3. The stock warket to-day was comparatively quiet only Sugar Refineries showing activity equal to that of the past few days, and while owing to a false report of a decision of the Court of Appeals against the Trusts the market was feverish and unsettled for the entire forenoon. A marked strong tone was developed later, and material advances were scored right through the entire list and the upward movement ceased only with the close of business. To this result considerable good uews con tributed, and the money market failed to show anv of the scarcity noticed just before the closo last evening. Among the "most influential factors In the rise were the news that the Western roads had finally agreed upon a new rjassen'er association, the statement that Rock Island will show over 4 per cent earned on the stock after paying a large amount of oxtraordi narv expenses, one that the Northwestern re-noi-t for the year will be the best ever issued, and the renewal of hopes of a silver bill in the exDectation that discussion in the House of Representatives will begin to-day. The feeling on this point was shown by a new advance In the price of silver, and the feeling upon the money question was altogether more settled than for a long time past The opening of the market under the influ ence of higher London figures and good Lon don buying was stronc, but It was met at the ontset by the report tha.t the Court of Appeals had rendered a decision declaring Sugar trust illegal, which' precipitated a further decline in sugar after its opening down 1J4 per rent, at 71& There were frequent and violent fluctua tions on the subsequent denials of the report arid a drop to 67 was followed by a rally to over 71. bnt it afterward got as low as 67. finally closing at 72. Chicago Qan nasless less active and trnnger than sugar, hut it sympathized closely with its movements and scored some wide fluctuations. When the Trust matter had been cleared np there was given room for the legitimate influences to ave their effect and a cood demand from the commission houses toon started the list on Its J Fourth avenne. change: upward march, the advance continuing throughout the remainder of the day. in the early dealings both. Lackawanna, and mebmond and West Point were specially weak, but they recovered handsomely and both show a gain for the day.

The final changes are Insignificant The sales pf all Issues reached $5,822,000. The advances Include San Francisco general sixes 2 to 115. The Pott says: Had It not been for the Pennsylvania decline In sugar coming so quickly upon -the heels of that in Chicago, there is reason to think the general stock market would have shown much higher prices to-dav than yester day. Even as it was all the Vanderbilt stocks and all the Grangers, together with Union Pa cific, Missouri Pacific, Louisville and Nash ville and coal stocks were i to 1 per cent lower at one time or another in the forenoon than they closed yesterday. The outstanding Is short interest in a good many of these, and es pecially Union Pacific. Missouri Pacific St. Paul and Atchison Is so large that any attempt to cover it must result In an important advance in prices. The liquidation that resulted from the flurry in the Trust stocks has been pretty thorough, the weakest holders of stocks have been pretty well shaken out and it is apparent that the sudden irruption of bearish opinions circnlated through the news agencies and by other methods iu the street are intended to de press the market for the purpose ot buying stocks both for the long and short account London was evidently a buyer of stocks to-day, as was shown by the higher prices for the Van derbilt stocks and the lower prices for sterling exchange, in consequence of the increase of bills to pay for them. Money is abundant and cheap iu London, and also everywhere in this country, and the bidding np of the rates here just before the close of business yesterday was only another device for depressing the stock market The following tame snows me prices or active stocks on tiie New York Stock Exchange yester day.

Bananas are in bountiful supply, but prices are fairly well sustained for pood stock; Oranges are very firm at quotations. Dairy products are still weak. There is a good demand for creamery butter at the late reduction, but no advance In prices. It was stated in this column last week that Elgin creamery was lower than it bad ever been.
