vJv8aa ," A. WHEAT IS DECLINING. The Northwestern Miller Takes a Bearish Yiew of the Sitnalion. A PDETHEE DROP PEEDICTED. BcirMtj of Live Stock in Western Finn iTlranla Counties. THE HaEDWaEE TEA.DS YIBI QOOD OrPICE OP PITTSBURG DISPATCH, J Tuesday. June 10, 1S80. ( The current number of the Minneapolis Oilier gives rather bearish view of the wheat and flour situation in the Northwest. Many of the large flour mills hare been curtailing the output for the past week. Says the Mller: "The wheat market has been active all the past week, but there has been a declining tendency. "We have had a weather market all week. Paid experts have been traveling through the wheat sections, and are too often paid to make special reports that may serve to confirm previously expresed views. Late heavy rains through the wheat belt have been very favorable to the crowing wheat crop, and there is a general surprise that there has not been a greater decline in prices. Ad vices from Glasgow, London and Liverpool are that demand for flour is extremely limited, and at the latter place there has been a decline of 6d on wheat Crop reports from all parts ol Europe are at this date very favorable." A week ago No. 1 northern soot wheat was selling at Minneapolis at 90J to 90c Now It ranges around the SSc figure. The effect of tbee depressing influences in the great wheat and fiour tectums is felt in our market by weakening tendencies, and there is little doubt of a drop in flour before the week is out. Au thentic rumors are afloat that our flour job bers are already making concessions on prices quoted. Llie Slock Scarce In Adjoining Counties. A Butler county cattle dealer, in an inter view yesterday, said: "Pittsburg live stock stock markets are every year becoming more dependent on the West for supplies. A few years ago it was not an uncommon thing for me to have from 75 to 100 bead of cattle at a time for this market. Of late great oil devel opments have so Increased population that the farmers can find markets for their stock at their own doors. Besides this, fanners are not raising as much live stock as in former years. Western Pennsylvania has seen its best days as a cattle-raising section. Other things pay better. It now looks as thougb it wonld not be many years until lire stock farms tbrougb the region within 60 miles of this city would bo come a thing of the past. In Hnrdwnre Lines. The carriage hardware trade of this city was never in better condition than it is now. There are four firms In the city engaged in this line, and all are as busy as bees. Bald a member of one of these firms to-day: "Orders are coming so fast of late that all hands are kept hustling, and the days are not long enough to finish up our necessary work." Similar reports are received from jobbers of regular hardware. Volume of trade was never greater than it has been for the past few months, though in many hues of hardware margins are uncomfortably narrow. LIVE STOCK TffAKKKTH.

The eighth annual meeting of the Pittsburg Grain and Flour Exchange was held yesterday. The report of tbe President showed a slight de crease in the membership, but the renewed activity of the members made up for this loss. President McCagne said: "We are glad to see the dally press represented among us, and I take the oppor tunity for thanklne them for publishing relia ble market reports." The Treasurer's report showed a slight deficit, bnt it is of little conse quence. The decrease in the business was at tributed largely to the fact that the street car lines bad dispensed with horses, but notwith standing this tbe business has increased 7 per cent since last year. The Superintendent's report follows: Ehowed tbe amount of merchandise bandied by the members of this exebange during the past year will compare favorably with any year since its organization. Tbe receipts of the year were as follows: Flour, 469,800 barrels. In crease 22,500; wheat 1,319 100 bushels, increase 64.600: oats 3,310,000 bushel". Increase 439 000: rye 673,500, increie 16U.750; barley 472.310 bushels. decrease 27.740; malt 250,200 bushels, in crease 38,700: rolllfeed 16,600 tons, decrease 2.265; hay, SS.48S tons, decrease 17,40a Thus flour and grain, with the exception of barlev, chow a handsome increase, while hay and mill feed show a material falling off. The following were selected to act as a Board of Managers for tbe ensuing year: James Herron, R, D. Elwood, R. 8. McCagne. Peter Veil, John Hood, David Whitemyer, B. Mc CrackenJ. C. Houck, D. G.

CHICAGO Only a moderate business was transacted in wheat to-day, and at times trad ing was light. An easier feeling existed and prices again averaged lower. Operators were disposed to await the Government report. About the only feature to Influence trading was the large decrease In the quantity of wheat on passage. There was a good demand at the start, and influenced by the large decrease on passage the market opened HGKc higher, but the demand became less urgent while the offerings in creased, and prices declined Vyila for the various futures, advanced ifti again weak ened, selling off to inside figures, recovered some and closed Jgc lower for July, lc lowerf or August, and o lower for December than closing figures yesterday. There was no special reason assigned for the decline other than large offerings. There was a large trade at lower prices In corn. There was free selling all round, large quantities changing hands, especially for July, August and September, tbe last in particular. Local longs sold freely, oue bouse selling about 750,000 bushels. The market opened atabout the closing prices of yesterday, was weak and sold off. with a slight reaction of JiSJic, ruled steady and closed Hc lower than yester day. Oats The bulk of trading was in August and September. Parties who have been buying for some time past were free sellers of new crop futures. There was fair buyine, but the free selling proved too much for tbe demand, and prices, after advancme a trifle at the opening, declined lc, while June and July only re ceded lc On the decline tbe offerings de creased and tbe demand iucreased and a rally of MKc was recorded, but was not main tained until tbe close, which was at Jc decline from yesterday's close. There was more doing in pork and tbe feel ing was unsettled, with prices lower. Prices declined 10l5o and the market closed tame. Quite a good business was done in lard, but the feeling was weak during the greater por tion of the day. Prices ruled 2k?5e lower, and tbe market closed tame at the reduction. Short ribs were brisk.

Andrew Carnegie Said to bt Quietly Fish ing for the City Poor Parm. 1 E17EE BRIDGE AND A BIG CDT-OFF While real estate dealers and buyers gen erally have given their attention to property surrounding Schenley Park and contiguous to the entrance to it, a syndicate of people equally anxious to set as much of the earth as possible, have been quietly buying in an other direction. A number, of names are given as embracing the syndicate, but the only thing positive is that a large amount of land has been purchased within the past two weeks in the Twenty-third ward, beginning near Brown station, on the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad, and running along and near Saline and Greenfield avenues. The purchases include the lands of J. J. Stoer, Ira M. Burohfield, Hill Burgwin, John McElroy, John D. Soully, E. and H. Walker, Frank Kohne, the House estate and many others that could not be obtained for the reason that several other deals are pending. Tbe Brown estate was wanted, but it is un derstood tbe owners refused to sell, although they sold quit claims on all coal Interests they had on the syndicate property in that section of the city, and granted rights of way through their property for a steam or electric railway. One purpose of this syndlcate,wbich now con troll from 300 to 400 acres of land, is to shorten the distance between Homestead and the Court House S( miles by bridging the river at or near Brown's station, at sufficient height on this side of the river to reach the bluff bank at Brown's, and make tbe grade easy along the northern line of Calvary Cemetery. Tbe great bend In the Monongahela river at Glenwood is thus cut off, and tbe distance to Homestead shortened between 3 and Imlles. The route, as before stated, is through the Brown estate, North of the new cemetery to Hazelwood ave nue, thence along Greenfield avenue and through the Twenty-second and Fourteenth wards to Craft avenue, where It becomes a part of tbe JJuquesne Electrlo or Pittsburg Trac tion road, as may be decided on. The charter for the bridge was obtained by Mr. Burchfield, who is said to represent the syndicate; at least he seenred most of the land. W. A. Herron Sons had a SO-acre tract on tbeir books a month ago; they haven't got it now, and it Is fair to assume it has been gob bled, a W. Black has lately increased his holdings there, and Mr. Laikin, of J. B. Larkin A Co.. admitted that he represented 28 acres, but nothing further could be got out of hhn. He bought tbe Kohne orchard, on Hazelwood avenue, embracing about 12 acres, two mouths ago, and the syndicate now owns it He would neither affirm nor deny tbe purchase or sale This opens cp a new territory, and puts Homestead practically within the city limits. It is said by some that the intention is to head off the Second Avenue Electric Railway Com pany and its proposed connection with Home stead by ferry, and to provide transit for the people along Greenfield, Forward, Hazelwood and Saline avenues. A gentleman who lives in that part of the city said yesterday that the Sunday travel to the Park and Calvary Ceme tery alone would pay the expense of a properly equipped passenger railway, to say nothing of the Immense advantages of such a line to tbe people and manufacturing concerns in and about Homestead. Whether the proposed sale of the City Farm at Homestead has any significance in this con nection is one of the things that "no fellow can find out." It was stated yesterday by a reliable gentleman that the farm would probably pass Into the possession of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, who has opened negotiations for its purchase The prices paid by the syndicate for the land they have already acquired range from $1,000 to S2.500 per acre, which is considered quite reasonable, considering the possibilities of im provement and consequent enhancement in value. A number of Hazelwood avenue property owners bad secured a charter for a railway from tha top ol tbe hill ' to Second avenue, and thought of commencing operation in July, but tbe proposed cut-off has knocked this enter prise on the head. More About Parnassus. The Parnassus manufacturing and town BCheme, which has been referred to In this column, promises to be one of tbe big things in which Pittsburg is directly interested. The prime mover in tbe project manages to keep in the background, but TnE Dispatch was again informed yesterday that at least 400 to 600 acres have been sold, the Information com ing indirectly from tbe former owners of the tracts. It has been ascertained that Mr. John B. Copeland, one of the principal business men of Parnassus, has the controlling leasehold In terest In from 2,000 to 8,000 acres of gas terri tory in and around the new Industrial suburb to be. In fact, all the available gas territory has been secured by the parties in the scheme, and the public may expect to hear good news from the little hamlet in a short time. Basinet News .and Gossip. Edgewood Council passed an ordinance Mon day night giving the Southern Natural Gas Company right of way through the borough. Tbe number of acres leased by tbe Parnassus syndicate is 3,000, and notS00,as stated yester day. The 1 o'clock stock call has been suspended until September 1. This is good, but indefinite suspension would be better. The number of mortgages recorded on Mon day was 29. The largest was for 83,600. Twelve were for purchase money. Stock brokers report a good office business. bnt, like the majority of real estate men, they refuse particulars. Borne good blocks of Phil adelphia Gas, Luster and La Noria have changed hands quite recently. E. P. Long sold 63 shares Philadelphia Gas at 31. W. F. Maxon sold 100 shares Airbrake at 118. Tbe London Economist calculates the gold coinage of the world in 18S9 at 231,562,144, against 25,472,738 In 18S8. Tha sliver coinage inl8S9itputs at 25,376,278, against 30,637,695 in.1888. If it be true, as stated, that Mr. Carnegie la after the Poor Farm, he will proDably get It. The longest purse generally wins in such con. tests. The price which the Wisconsin Central Rail, road will pay for the Milwaukee and Northern Railroad is 56,000,000, in addition to assuming the $5,000,000 bonded debt. A real estate deal involving considerable money was hung np yesterday on a difference of $200. This shows that holders are firm. Two of the youngest and handsomest real estate brokers in the city are to be married in a short time. They are attending to business, but are addicted to long spells of absent. mindedness. Movements la Real Estate. There was a moderate movement in real estate yesterday, with a fair amount of busi ness. The interest in large properties Is greater than at any previous time in the history of the city. This includes acreage. Bales reported were: W. A. Herron & Sons sold a lot 40x120 feet near South Hilaud avenue, and between tbe Filth Avenue and Duquesae traotion lines, for 12,300. Ewlng & Byers sold for P. B. and Theo.

MIDSUMMER DULLNESS Settled Down Temporarily on Wall Street Speculator Awaiting the Ontoome mt Sliver Legislation la Congress London Loses Its Grip. New Yobk, June 10. The strong temper of the market at the close yesterday was not car ried over until this morning, as London prices were lower, and the opening of this market was slightly lower in sympathy. The silver legislation still continues to be the most im portant subject of Interest in Wall street, and the general feeling is that something will be done at this session, although the bears try to make all the uncertainty passible upon that point. The disposition is, however, on all sides to await dennlte action by the Senate before entering into new ventures, and the mar ket has sunk Into tbe regular midsum mer dullness for the time being, al though as a rule there is no lack of attendance at the board. Dullness usually invites attaoks by the trading element, and the selling to-day was principally by that class of operators, though they do not let declines go far, and cover up quickly upon any sign of re newed strength in tbe market. The market showed great lack of interest to-day, and only in the Villards, the Trusts and Cleveland, Cin. cinnatj, Chicago and St, Louis, Riobmonri and West Point, Lackawanna and a few specialties was there any life shown. The early depres sion disappeared immediately with tbe open ii.g sales, and a strong tone marked tbe deal ings in the early morning with Chicago Gas as tbe only marked exception. Sugar was again moved cp, the advance being accompanied by renewed rumon concerning the break ing' of the Spreckles monopoly on ta WEDNESDAY, JUKIT r18P- Pacific Coastand later when tbe price wag-let off there -were rumors of -a decision in the Sugar case by the Court of Appeals. The fluc tuations, however, were evidently the results of manipulation, pure and simple, that they had no effect for good or evil upon the regular list. Rumors of a proposed lease of the Mis souri Pacific by parties fn the interest of Atchi son, attracted some attention but had no ap parent effect upon the stock of either com pany. Oregon Transcontinental and Northern Pacino preferred were the features of the reg ular list, both being active and strong. Read ing also came into prominence late In the day but its movements with those of Rlchmondand West Point were not specially important The high prices attained during tbe forenoon Invi ted some realizations with hammering by the traders and tbe late dealings developed a weaker tone with material reactions In some of tbe leading stocks. The close was fairly steady and generally at small fractions' better than the opening prices. The final changes are irregular, but generally in tbe direction of higher figures, thougb in all but a few cases for small fractions only. Sugar is np 3i per cent, but Chicago Gas is off. 1. Railroad bonds were a shade mora active, the sales aggregating $1,451,000, but the activity in Reading 4s. which contributed 8176.000 to the total, was the only special feature of tbe day. The same firm tone existed, but tbe changes In quotations were still upon tbe same limited scale. The advances include Indianapolis, Decatur and Western lsts, 2 to 97. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and without fea ture. The Post says: Much Interest is felt in tbe street In regard to tbe sale in the city of Balti more of its B. 4 O. stock, and especially with regard to who or what corporation is likely to come Into the control of the railroad. Most persons have thought that tbe purchase of the block of stock from tbe city ot Baltimore was made In the Interest of either the Richmond Terminal Company or the -Northern Pacific. We havehowever, tbe most trustworthy in formation tbat neither of these corporations Is interested in the purchase, but, on tbe con trary, tbat the Garrett interest formed the nuclus of a syndicate which has bougbt tho stock of the city of Baltimore for the purpose of maintaingthe independence ot the Balti more and Ohio instead of allowingitto fall into the hands of, and thereby becomingsubservient to tbe interests of any other corporation. This does not by any means indicate that the Baltimore and Ohio will ever again assume that aggressive attitude of seven or eight years ago by which it antagonized all tbe trunk lines and also all tha express companies and tele graph lines and persisted in this policy under the Garrett management until the surplus earnings over fixed charges diminished from $2,356,984 in 1880, or about 15K per cent on its $15,000,000 of stock'down to 36,259, or next to nothing, on the stock in 1887, when tbe Garrett interest was temporarily in the hands of Ives and Stayner for sale, and found no purchaser. On the contrary the syndicate will be governed largely by the policy of the bankers who helped the Baltimore and Ohio out of its difficulties three years ago. This policy has already re sulted in restoring the earning capacity of the property, and it is believed by those who have excellent opportunity for knowing what its business is that the earnings over fixed charges are now equal to fully 10 per cent on the stock. It is this which has induced tbe formation of the syndicate to hold and pro tect tbe property against any schemes of consolidation with or annexation to any other corporation.
