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.

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.

THINKS SHE DOESN'T HEED' IT.
Why Mr. McNeil Objects to Support flit
Wire Pendlnc Their Suit.
James McNeil yesterday filed in court an
answer to the rule issued at the petition of his
wife, Margaret McNeil, to show cause whv be
should not allow her mney for her expenses
pending the trial of their divorce suit. He
states that Mrs. McNeil is worth f romT30.000 to
10.000 m her own right, and in addition has a
large and profitable dressmaking business from
-which she derives an ample income. Further,
her children are all grown up and paying their
own way.
He denies that he has an income of 6,000 a
year, but admits be is able to pay a reasonable
sum. though he denies that he ought to pay
anything to Mrs. McNeil. He asks that her
petition be dismissed.

Netw York. July L Business in drygoods
tends toward quiet conditions. There was con
siderable trade In new goods and in staples,
spot transactions being more numerous If any
thing, though not large. Special dress styles
appear to be a leading feature, and these vary
in price according to qualities aid widths.

MARKETS BY WIEE.
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.
Mess pork Offerings were moderately free,
and a reduction of S040c was submitted to.
At the decline a better demand prevailed and
prices rallied again 4050c, but settled back
again 1520c and closed comparatively steady.
Lard Trading was fairly active. Prices
were advanced 5Q7fc, and the appreciation
was fairly well supported.

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.

SOME IMPE0VEMEHT.
Bullish Probabilities Brace Up the Oil
market A Good Close.
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.

DULL TO A LEGBEE.
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.
Railroad bonds were dull, Dut reflected tbe
stagnation in prices whlcb obtained in the share
list very closely, and except the Issues whtch
sold ex-dividend, the final changes are without
significance In almost every cajo.
Trading extended to $019,000.
Government bonds hove been dull and steady.
State bonds have been dull and firm.

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

pleasure trips, and the up river boats bad a

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.
