f. THE3? PITTSBTII& DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY. JULY 9, 1890. WEATHER AND TBADE Produce Men Complain That Business is Entirely Too Good FOR SDCH A HEATED SPELL AS THIS. Creamery Butter Offered Falls to Come Up to Standard. TEOPICAL PEU1TS JIOYIXQ FKEELI Office or fittsbtjbo dispatch, J Tuesday. Julys, isaa The principal question under considera tion among our trade'speople to-day was: How to keep cool? "With the mercury trav eling up close to centennial line, it was not at all easy to solve the problem. Xotwitb Btanding "the tropical weather produce men were kept busy, and many complained that business was entirely too Rood. Tuesday is usually one of the busy days of the week in produce lines, and this Tuesday was no ex ception to the rule. There was a good de mand for all good stuff offered. JJrom early morn well up to noon, Liberty street from Fifth to Seventh street was crowded with retail grocers' wagons seeking the needful f upiilles. At the Grain Exchange fans were in demand, and the operators ioud it necessary to shed all surpln garments. TLere was a con spicuous absence of coats and presence of fans at the Exchange. The weather topic became monotonous to the market editor a he went to and fro among tradesmen. "Is it hot enough for you?" was dinned in his ear ad nauseam. When the last man said it a man who deals in dynamite and other exnlosi e very extensively this editor was on the point of wishing him in the country where sulphur and dynamite abound, hut sober second thought held him back. Suffice ittosay, that the pursuit of trade items to day was under great difficulties, and if the reader is disposed to think that this column amounts to little let him cultivate the grace of charity ana remember the exalted flights of the mercury. Creamery Batter Not First data. One of our foremost jobbers in dairy products in an interview to-day said: 'The creamery butter coming to market of late is not np to the standard, for a good and sufficient reason, namely, that first-class stock cannot be pro duced such weather as we have been having the past few weeks, except in isolated cases, where there arc cook bubbling springs of water or ice abounds. In the butter repon around Elgin the mercury has been above 100 of late, and with such a temperature it is impossible for the producer to turn out first-class stcck. The price of good stock is well maintained on account of its scarcity. But tho bulk of the creamery butter on the market the Sast few weeks lacks in good keeping qualities, 'or can there be any change for the better un til we have cooler weather." v Hot weather has also had the effect of very much diminishing the crop of fresh eggs. Hens as well as tradesmen and market editors have lost their grip, and find it about all they can do to keep cool. The Small Frnlt Crop. ' A nrodnce dealer this expressed himself to day as to the small fruit crou: "Cultivated raspberries and blackberries are much below their average this season in quantity. I do not thick there will be above one-half the usual quantity. Hut from the best advice I can get the crop of wild berries Is larger than nsual. The strawberry season proved much shorter tnan usual tnis year, ana preservers in tuis region tilled to lav up tneir expected supplies. California Preserved and dried fruits have ad vanced 1KC a pound in the past few days, and the upward movement, in my opinion has only started. "In the Eastern sections of the country the fruit crop will be light, and we will be more de pendent on the Pacific slope for supplies in this line than for many years." Active Demand for Tropical Fruits. In tropical fruit lines this promises to be one of the most active weeks of the year. Demand for lemons has been stimulated by the hot weather, and a sharp advance is reported by dealers. Fincanples are on the wane and will soon be a thing of the past. Receipts of bauanas this week promise to go beyond all previous records in volume, 17 carloads having arrival on Monday. Notwithstanding heavy receipts prices of good stock are well sus tained, and demand promises to be equal to supply. As we are now in the midst of the pic nic season tropical fruits and canned meats have the call, and dealers in these lines are happy over the situation. The current number of the JTorth Western Jl.llcr, of Minneapolis, takes a more a cheerful view of the situation and outlook of wheat and fiourthan it has done for a few weeks past. It reports trade as very much improved the past ten davs, and wheat suitable for milling pur poses as 2c higher. The general tone of its editorials, and news from its correspondents, is that the worst is over, and that from now better markets and better prices may reasonably be looked for. The change for the better has not yet made any marked impression on markets here, but our millers and flour jobbers are more hopeful of the future of trade. LIVE STOCK MAEEETS.

There is an article in another col umn of The Dispatch headed "An Epidemic of Bloody Flux in Scio to County, Ohio." It is an advertise ment, but one that is worth reading. It shows conclusively that bloody flux, which is only another name for dysentery, even when in its worst lorm can be cured. Good physicians may fail, bnt there is one remedy that can always be depended upon. This is only one of the seven epidemics of bowel complaints in which this remedy has been used with great success, and in everyone of these seven epidemics it was tho only remedy " ,1,1 rnTP tlin wort r. tysn BIG DEALS HDHG'HR Difficulty of "Closing Real Estate Transaction's in'Midsnmmer. ACTIVE DEMAND FOR SMALL LOTS. Speculation Wrestling With Bearish Influ ences and Hot weather. THE HEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI This is the worst time of the year to close up deals in anything, particularly real estate. Hot weather is a promoter of indo lence. Pew people feel like pushing things with the thermometer hugging the nineties. Their inclination is to get away to moun tain or seaside, or cool nook in the wilder ness, and they go if their means are suffi cient. Comfort rises superior to business in such weather as Pittsburg has been having for a week or two. This explanation accounts for the lack of the customary aggressive spirit in the real estate market during the past lew days. The heat has driven a number of brokers and in vestors out of the city, and those remaining are so absorbed in efforts to keep cool that they find timo for little else. The result is that many Important deals are hung up. and will remain there until a change In the weather In duces the principals to return. Still, as shown below, bis properties are not lifeless. Small properties are less affected. It re quires but little time aud trouble to buy or sell v building lot of ordinary size; and those want ing them are seldom in a condition financially to permit of them taking vacations. Hence the demand for this class of property is almost as active as at any former season. Owners realize this so completely that they are subdividing large tracts in the outlying districts to supply any possible deficiency and afford opportunity for a wider choice of location. The Cnnsea of Blany Fires, Speaking of fires yesterday, a gentleman who has "run with the machine" remarked that their alarming frequency was due in a great part to the manner in which the woodwork con tiguous to hot-air flues in buildings is pro tected. This has been demonstrated by inves tigation. Faulty work is in most cases hidden by showy mantelpieces, the flues being hemmed In by masses of lath and plaster, which, coming in contact with the hot-air pipes, are carbonized. This charred wood subsequently ignites and the combustion develops into a flame. Another cause assigned for the frequency of fires is found in the manner In which wainscot ing is run over a brick fine. In such a case it is necessary to drive wooden plugs into the bricks and to nail the wainscoting to them. The latter carbonize and then ignite with the result that the flames are communicated to the wainscoting. Basinets Kewa and Gossip. Pittsburg is fast becoming the principal cen ter of tho fire-brick Industry of the country. Philadelphia, Cleveland and Columbus are amone her customers. There was less life than usual on Fourth ave nue yesterday, owing to the oppressive heat. No one attempted to do more than routine duty. There were no big mortgages on file yester day. The largest was for $3,800. There were 30 In all, of which 14 wera for purchase money. Officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad refuse information as to the character of the station house they propose to erect at Edgewood, but it is understood it will be of brick and bear a close resemblance to the one at Shadyside. The school board at Brnshton yesterday re elected the Uraddock National Bank treasurer. The same bank is treasurer of the Wilkins bnrg school fund. L.F. Stark sold 50 shares of Philadelphia Gaa at 31 and 80 Luster mlningat 20. John id. Chaplin.-mana tret- of the Plttsrmrr f (aeirfhllbyftitl'rHhably succeed the late ..- urattan von uonunorst as treasurer of the Bankers and Bank Clerks' Mutual Benefit As sociation. The premium on gold at Buenos Ayres ad vanced yesterday from 175 per cent to 195 per cent. It is desirable to have an active local stock market, and tho way to secure it is ror in vestors to confine their operations to home securities. This would help business all round by keeping money at home. It was reported yesterday that a site had been selected for a glass factory at Parnassus. The name of William Adams, of Youngstown, was coupled with the report. Movements In Real Ettats. C. F. Jahn and Edward Kelly have sold three acres of land facing Schenley Park for 50,000, or 810,000 an acre.

The feature of the stock market yesterday was a drop in Westinghouse Electric It sold at first call at SSK and 33. At the second it was bid down to EG, with none offered, showing that while weak it was not panicky.

Routine business was brisk, especially depositing, the accretions of which dispel all fears of strin gency.

OTS AHD DOWNS OP OH. A Good Opening Succeeded by Dullness and Weakness Weather Blamed. The oil traders found very little to do yester day. Sales were few and small, and the range of fluctuations was 1 cent. Hot weather was largely responsible for the depression. The opening was firm, with indications of a lively day, based on the coming pipe line re port which is expected to be unusually bull ish. The market soon advanced, but Bhortly hpfore noon fell off on report that a well at Wlldwood was doing 100 barrels or more an hour, but this was not confirmed. In the last few minutes there was a rally, and the close was a large fraction better than the lowest point The opening was 90, the highest 90, the lowest 89, and the closing 89K.

New York, July 8. While the stock market of yesterday was rather unsatisfactory, es pecially to the lighter bulls, to-day's was more to their taste in point of strength, bnt its nar rowness was even greater. The agreement in conferenoe upon a silver bill, supplied the stimulation for a time, but the effect was over before the end of the first half hour of busi ness. The foreigners were taking back Some of the stocks parted with yesterday, but the limited demand was soon satisfied, and the dullness in the market became more intense than at any time during tha'present depression In business. Even the, silver certificates, in which the news on the silver question created some animation, failed to respoM-'with any advance ot moment though offers were made at 106 witbont takers. Tho bears were inclined to make 'all the capital possible ont of the failure of the mar ket to respond to the agreement on the silver question, but while bulls were not Inclined to buy stocks to any extent upon the agreement, they were encouraged to hold on to what they have, and the bears were deterred from follow ing up their temporary advantage of yesterday. The bull leaders speak hopefully of the outlook, both for silver legislation and a settlement of the railroad difficulties, which by many are re garded as the more important factor in the movement of prices in the near future. When these are out of the way the hope is to see the benefit from the recent large disbursements ex pected by the street The" opening of the market this morriing was rather irregular as compared with last even ing's closing figures, but the strength soon ap peared and the losses of yesterday were in many cases recovered before the end of the first half hour's trading. The Coalers and Graneers received most .itfenHnn anH T.ni-s. wanna, Jersey Central and St. Paul showed most strength, and were followed by Oregon Transcontinental and Suear Refineries. There were no movements among the specialties of note and the rest of the list remained as stag nant as at any time for the past month. The traders covered the shots taking apparently everything offered, and though there was at times some selling for foreign account the operations, sales amounted to little. The up ward movement in the Coalers became more pronounced In the last hour, and Lackawanna and Jersey Central reached the highest figures of the day. The close was dull and generally steady at about the best prices of the day. The final changes are for insignificant fractions generally, but Jersey Central is up to 2U and Lackawanna and Oregon Transcontinental IK per cent each. Railroad bonds were very quiet though the Atchison incomes were fairly active, and a bus iness of $858,000 was transacted with but slight changes as a rule. The market was at no time more than five, and the strong tone of the stock market failed to reach it Louisville Southern firsts rose 2 to 90 Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been entirely neglected. The I'ost says: There has been for some weeks past a reviving of the speculation In New England, by which it nas been advanced from 48i on June 19 to 51K by 12 o'clock to day, bat there is the same mystery about the immediate CaUSeS Of the bnvin,rn hnanlwriva surrounded the manipulation ot that stock. The business of the road, however, Is growing, and it is a foregone conclusion that some time it will practically bo extended by some means or some connection into New York, and thus become a stronger competitor with New York and New Haven, but as to when or how this connection will ne made there is no more Infor mation obtainable now than there has been 20 times before when the stock advanced on some vague Intimation of the kind.

The River Down to tho Danger Lino NavN Cation Suspended in the Ilnrbor. Everything wore an air of uncertainty about the wharf yesterday. The river has reached the point where navigation is almost impossi ble, and there is no hope of the boats on the way up reaching this port unles3 there is a rise, which would change the plans already mapped out by the packet lines. They propose during the low water to stop at points further down the river and to transfer passengers oyer the rail roads to the places the boats can come up to. The Brownsville packets ran acronnd near Lock No. 1 tnis morning, but they were gotten off shortly afterward. The owners of up-river packets are urgent In their demands that the wickets be raised. The Cincinnati packet line and towboat men generally oppose this as It would prevent them from getting near this port lrtke wickets should be raised. Nothing can be done at the dam, however, as the lower lock gate Is still out or working condition. One of the excursion boats grounded this side of Lock No. 1 with a large crowd or people. Three hours elapsed belore the boatwas got afloatagaln. The marks at Water 6treet last night showed barely two feet with three feet in midstream. Davis Island dam gauge showed lour feet flat and railing slowly. The packets carried little freight on account of low water esterday. They let this trade go to accommodate the passengers. Driftwood.

The time of the departure of the Fleetwoed has been changed from 9 A. it. to 8:30, except on Monday. The Brownsville and Morgantown packets will leave rrorr. above Lock No. 1 to-day if there is not higher water. The Pd C. Klrker, a new freight boat for the Sandy river trade, made Its trial trip yesterday. The trial was very satisfactory. Captain Otto Mabmet and Henry Immlnhart left Cincinnati for this place Monday. They are coming here to look after their coal trade. The Lizzie Bay laid over until 5 o'clock yester day. The Bay draws three feet and could barely get out with her cargo. Its destination Is Charles ton. Captain Jutte and Captain Dorlngton have returned from El oro, Mexico, where they have spent some time looking after their mine In terests. Owing to low water In the harbor the Browns vllle and Morgantown packets could not get down to their regular starting place. Both boats will leave from above Lock No. 1 while the river is low, at the regular scheduled time. Next Friday, at 2 o'clock, the steamer May flower win take out an excursion party composed or Evergreen Council, lioyal Arcanum, and the lrlends of the members. They will go up the Mouongahela beyond Monongahela City. The Mayflower ran aground near Lock No. 1 yesterday morning, with a large party of extur slonlsts. and tried hard to get off for three hours, without success. It was finally moved off with the assistance ol a towboat The Columbus Cluo. and their friends, were aboard the Mayflower on the way up. The accident delayed the boat three hours. Letters for the following are at Mauch ft McQulre's, Cincinnati: Ed Johnson, Tom Fisher, Jerome Clark, W. L. Johnston, Julius Wehrman. Joe Alexander, Janson Steward, George D. Harvey and Mrs. Annie Whiting. Letters for the following are at the Consolidated Boat store, Cin cinnati: Douglass McFree, John W. Duleng, Whitney Webb, John Jones, Charley McFarlan, Peter Clark, Hiram Howe. In consequence of low water the Cincinnati packet will not leave from the wharfboat to-day unless the river rises high enough to let the Hud sou come up. It will stop at Wheeling and leave there on regular time for It leaving heeling. Persons having tickets on the Hudson, or con template going to Cincinnati on It will be sent over any or the railroads to Wheeling to meet the boat at that place. This will be continued until the water will permit the boats to land here. Kcw York Mining Stocks. New Yoke; Julv 8. Mining quotations: Belle Isle, 150; Bodle, 125; Caledonia B.
