..-,- THE PITTSBURG- ' DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 189a, BOOM IN HARDWARE. The Usual June Lull in the Trade Failed to Materialize. WIRE SCREENS IN ACTIVE DEMAND. Brat Business Also in Agricultural Implements. THE TVflEAT AND FLOUE SITUATION Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, ) TursDAT. July 1. IS90. The General hardware trade has not held up so well for many years as this season. Usually trade Blackens np in the month of June, and there conies a lull before fall trade opens. The activity of April and May still helds. The record for June as to volume of trade has never been equaled In Pittsburg for the same month, according to the testimony of leading dealers. Slid one who probably handles more Roods than any other hardware dealer of the city; Our trade for the first half of this year breaks all former records, and has held np longer than ever before. The quiet time we expect in Jnne has not yet -come. Lawn mowers, wire cloth, screen doors, and aericnltural Implements have been in excellent demand, and I ain confi dent that our volume of trade this eaon has been 25 per cent better than last. Wire screens, which only a few years ago were regarded as a luxury, are now coming to be considered a ne cessity, and demand in this line is 33 per cent larger than list seAson. The only exception to the activity of trade has been in the line of refrigerators, which is oniric to the high price of ice. manufacturers in this line will in all probability be forced to carry over until an other season more thn their usual amount of stock." In the past few weeks wiro ana cut nails have shown an upward movement. Prices are a shade higher and firm at the advance. Prlcen Likely to Go Dp. In response to the query as to the outlook for fall trade, a leading hardware dealer said: "We have been too busy meeting orders to give our selves any concern about the f nturr. If busi ness was slack and prices were drooping, as is often the case at this time of the year, we would push orders for fall trade. But with the present hardening tendency of iron and steel products. It would not be business to push trade for the future. AH I can say as to the outlook is that prices are likely to be higher for our Roods in the falL" The wheat and flour situation baffles the wisest heads. There i little qnestion that the late drift has been toward a lower level, and that some of our leading finur jobbers have been cutting prices for a week or two past. The future of markets will, no doubt, be determined as soon as the Northwestern harvests are gath ered. From the Southwest, here the w heat is already garnered, it is not claimed that the yield will be above three-fourths the average, and quality is only fair to good. The Korthwettern Miller of Minneapolis, which is authority on wheat and flour in one of the great wheat belts of the continent, in its current number, gives the situation and out look as follows: '"Prices of wheat averaged lower the past week with unusual dullness. It is too early for reliable crop estimates. One of the critical periods is yet to pass. If present conditions continue a full cron may be looked for. But a few days of heat might injure the brightest prospects. The acreage Is about the same as last year." Wheat Crop Prospects. The condition of the wheat crop in Ohio is fair, but in Indiana ana Illinois not so good. Latest advices from London and Liverpool in dicate very dull flour markets with drooping tendencies, and the situation decidedly in buyer's favor. The crop prospects of England are very good.. In France, Belgium, Holland and Germany prospects have been diminished in the oast few weeks by cool weather and rains. A prospect of 70 per cent in Hungary two weeks ago has been reduced to 69 per cent in consequence of rust. In Germany rye, which Is one of the principal crops, has been very much damaged by cold weather of late. In the next week or two the question of price of breadstuffs will in a great measure be determined. Prospects now are good enough to give sub stantial grounds of comfort to the bears who have the field at present, both at home and abroad. PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT.

A Sharp Rally In Wheat Cnnsed by Un favorable Weather at Dene and Abroad Corn nnd Oats Active Pork Unsettled. CHICAGO Wheat Trading was mora active to-day and tbe feeling developed was stronger, with a material advance in prices. Outside orders were more numerous, and tome foieign buying orders were filled. The movement was attended with some excitement, the sharp turn rather taking operator: bv surprise. The mar ket opened H6Jc higher than yesterday's clos ing, and steadily advanced, with scarcely any fluctuations, 2ji2Xc more, then eased off slightly, and closed about ZQfyic higher than yesterday. Shorts were anxious to cover, and there was active buying from this source. The upturn wasattributed to reported unfavorable weather in England for the growing crop, cable advices noting continued wet and cold weather, and also to reports of rain in the Northwest and warmer weather there. Corn There was a large trade in this market again to-day. and, as on yesterday, consisted principally In changing July to September. The free deliveries on July contracts created considerable pressure to sell this future on the opening, and first sales were KC below the closing prices 01 yesterday. Alter mo eariy weakness the market manifested a better tone and a rally of Jc followed, anil final quotations compared with yesterday show a gain of Oats were firmer and a shade higher, ontside prices being fairly maintained until the close.

ANOTHER GOOD YEAR Assured to Pittsburg by the Signing of the Amalgamated Scale. THE CITT FAR FROM OVERBUILT. Scarcity of Houses Proves the Absence of a Speculative Furore. THE NEWS ASD GOSSIP OF THE CITI A feature of the prosperity of Pitlsburg, which has not been brought into sufficient prominence, is the fact that she is not over built. Empty houses are few and far be tween. A tour through the city proper was made by a real estate broker yesterday, and the infrequency ot "to-lets" surprised him. This is equally true of the suburbs. About the only vacant buildings are those that have been put up to sell and are held out of the renting list. He heard very little com plaint of high rents. They average about the same as last year. People are too well pleased to get suitable quarters to seriously object to paying wbat landlords ask. This means much. It shows that activity In real estate and honse-buildlng is not fictitious or speculative, but real and substantial. There is a demand behind it to justify all that has been done and more, for this inquiry for prop erty is almost as urgent as ever. Tbe signing of the Amalgamated scale insnres another red letter year tor Pittsbnrg. There will be no halt in the demand for lands and houses. Many new homes will be established. The ex tension of rapid transit and the opening np of new territory will keep prices within moderate bounds, giving all a chance to become proprie tors. With a large and steady demand alike from citizens and new-comers, and not enough houses to accommodate all who want them, there can be no reaction; and, on the other baud, constant additions to the supply of build ing sites will prove fatal to any attempt to get np a boom. Viewed from any point the situa tion is full of encouragement to all classes of citixens. Business New. nnd Gossip. Members of the Bankers' and Bank Clerks' Mutual Benefit Association of Pittsburg, have been assessed SI SO each to replenish tbe treasury. There is talk of a deal on Third avenue, fac ing tbe new postoffice. at the rate of Sl,500a foot front Inquiry for property In that local ity Is on the increase.

Tbat part of the city promises to be the scene of great activity within the next year or two. Tbe Newsboys' Home will probably be lo cated on Old avenue, opposite the present quarters. Mrs.Schenley owns "the property, and has been written to for terms for a site. An offer of $16,000 was made yesterday for a bonse and lot on the lower end or Third ave nue. The house Is used for a dwelling. This is within 81,000 of the price asked. If bought, the building will be remodeled for business pur poses.

Tbe oil market started off at a good pace yesterday, and soon moved up a peg on local buying. It then softened off, due to selling by Oil City; but that Exchange soon changed its tic tics and turned buyer, rallying tbe market to the highest point of the day, where It hung until the close. The market all through was stronger and trading better than for some time. The range was: Opening, 86c; highest and closing 87ir: lowert, 86a Mondaj's clear ances were 332,000 barrels. Refined was lower at London and Antwerp. The bullish feature was the certainty that the monthly pipeline report will show a large decreaso in production as compared with the previous statement The Straw well continues to flour at tbe rate of 300 barrels a dav. Oil operators claim a great many surprises for Jacks Run. and are of the opinion that a good oil field will be de veloped in that section. At any rate numerous holes continue to be put down as rapidly as possible. 1 he Straw No. 2 is down 450 feet: tbe Burger. 550: the Jones well. 6X0; the Harvey well, 700. The Heine well is still drilling and is nearly through tbe 30-foot horizon. Tbe Miller well has but a slight showing of oik It will be drilled deeper. Fentnrea of Ymlerday'a Oil Market.

The New York Slock Mnrket Appreciably Affected bx (bo Ii fluence of Holiday Week Government and State Bonds Dull. Tew York, July L. The stock market of to-day differed from those of the past few days only in its greater degree of dullness, the usual slight fluctuations being in the upward direc tion. With the prospects of assured easy money for at least two months, and a large amount of funds seeking investment, the inducements to put out short lines are not large, and tne trad ing Spr the short account is now principally confined to covering operations. London, how ever, continues to be a buyer to a limited ex tent To-day there was a languid interest in New England. Lackawanna, St Paul and the Trusts, with special movements in Pullman, Pacific Mall, Hocking Valley and Edison Gen eral Electric. Tbe news of tbe day was in the main tavorable, and It is settled that freight rates in the West, Northwest and Southwest will be advanced to-morrow, and early action upon the dressed beef question is ex pected on the part of the Central Traffic Association. There was no hreak in the strong front presented by the market until just toward the close, when Pacific Mall was raided down, and almost everything traded in yielded slightly, making the close dull but heavy at Insignificant changes from last night's figures as a rule. Pullman lost some more of Its last Saturday's sudden rise, and sugar re fineries shaded off slowly in the face of tbe strength of the general list while tbe only sharp advance vi as in Hocking Valley, which reached 2 per cent above its first price, though losinz a portion of tbe improvement toward tbe close, leaving its net gain at only percent. Pullman is off 1. Paciflo Mail IK and Sugar 1.

Tbe rain predicted Monday raised the river at this point 6 inches in 24 hours, putting it up to tbe 2 feet 8 inch mark. More rain is ex pected by tho rivermen, and shipments will be resumed when tho water becomes high enough. The towboatmen are very anxious that the wickets be raised so tbat the fleets can be taken from the upper pool, but the packet line people do not favor this, for the reason that the raising of the wickets would not allow the packets on the way up to reach this port Phe river below the dam would become so low while it would be rising that it would almost make the river below the dam lower than it is in this pool. The only marked activity yesterday was about tbe wharf boats where both the up and down river packets landed.

CURED 0FCATARRH And a Lung Trouble br the Catarrh Specialists at 323 Penn Avenue After All Other Doctors Had Failed. Of the hundreds of patients who have testi fied In this paper to cures made by tbe Catarrh Specialists, perhaps none have been more re markable than that of Mrs. Josephine Myers, of Glenfleld, Allegheny county. Sbo had an al most'endless number of conditlons,ainong which were a dropping of catarrhal mucus into her throat, where it became very tenacious and bard to raise, and in tbe night on awaking it would so suffocate her tbat she could scarcely get her breath. She bad much soreness in tbe side of her neck and throat She had pain Mrs. Jbiephlne Myerx. over her eyes, and her eyes became very weak. She often felt dizzy and had noises in her ears that sounded to her as if she bad a steamboat In her head. As tbe disease finally extended to her lungs, she coughed, her breath became short and she felt a tightness in her chest and aching pain between her shoulders. Her ap petite failed, and her stomach became so weak tbat food or even water would cause a heaviness and burning in her stomach followed by nausea. She baa pains across the small of her back and kidneys. She became bloated and took on a dropsical appearance. Nlghtsweats weakened her very fast She could not sleep and would arise in the morning more tired than on going to bed. THE FOLLOWING ARE HER, OWN WORDS: "Although I bad doctored a good deal I got no better. Some doctors said they could do nothing for me. I became discouraged and thought I never could be cured and tbat I would not live over a year. One day I hap pened to see in the paper an account of the sufiering of Mrs. Bratt, of Vemer station, which seemed something similar to my suffer ing, and how she became cured by tbe physi cians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute. This gave me some hope, and I therefore took a course of treatment from these doctors and have been entirely cured of all my ailments. "Signed witb my own hand. "MRS. J08EPHINE MYERS."
