A ' THE PITTSBUEG DISPATCH, "WEDNESDAY, JOLT 23, . 1890. IIIDSUMMER'S TRADE. In Many Lines Appears an Improve ment on the Average Season. GOOD OUTLOOK Ih BUILDING LINES. Some Government Statistics as to Prospects of Crops, BUTTER SUPPLIES BEIOXD DEHAHD Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, j Tuesday. July 22. 189a $ One of onr leading dealers in slate roofing , and mantels said to-day: "I have never known the midsummer trade in our line as Rood as it is at this time. July and August are always our quiet months, but we have seen few signs ot quietness so far. Our har vest time is in the fall and early winter when contractors are finishing up houses. "We expect little at this time of the year, and have, therefore, been agreeably disap pointed. The outlook for a big building trade was never better at this season of the year. So farourvolumeof business for 1890 has exceeded that for 1889 or any previous year, and, unless all signs fail, the gain over former years will be much greater the com ing months than it has been the first half of the year. Prices of roofing materials are stiff bat unchanged. There is a strong drift of late toward artistic mantels, even m ordinary d ellings. and onr trade in this de partment has very much increased m the past year or two. Orders already on onr books in sure a decided increase tbK season over last. The statement of this dealer in materials with which to cover buildings is in accord with reports from lumber dealers and contractors whose faith is firm that this will be one of the best years on record as to volnme of business. Crop Prospect. One of our foremost dealers in grain and hay has had a representative looking after his in terests in Ohio and Illinois the past few weeks. In an interview to-day he said: "Advices from our traveling man are that tbo oats crop in the near West is not one half the average. This is certainly the case in large sections of Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. Wheat in some sec tions Is fair, but taking Ohio through is con siderablv below averace. The hay crop is everywhere big, hut in soite of this mill feed, which is in close sympathy with the movements of hay, is on the advance. According to quota tions received from St Louis io-day the cost of hran laid down here would be $16 7a. As one of onr grain dealers boucht over 30 cars yester day at S13315 50 for August and Septem ber delivery it is plain be has made a good thing unless a reaction comes." A Uutler county farmer, who was In the city yesterday, report) the oats crop in that section unusually lichL A vear ago at this time oats ! were selling at 2425c rer bushel. Now they are very firm at 42c and a fraction, and will, no doubt, before long reach the half-dollar line. Within the past decade oats have reached 70c per bushel. Accordmc to the A'orfft Western ililler, of Minneapolis, the spring wheat average has ad vanced from 91.3 to 914 during the month of July. The averace for Wisconsin is 93 per cent, Minnesota 91, Iowa 95, Nebraska SS the . Dakota 94, Montana 93. Colorado 90, and Wash ington 93. For inter and spring wheat the average according to Government figures is 82 per cent. The corn average from present out look will be 93 per cent, ana oats 81 and a frac tion. Crops are much better in the Northwest than in the East and South. Reports from the South are very unfavorable. Creamery Uutler Too trnnp. Contrary to general expectations of dealers, creamery butter fails to advance. At the Elgin Butter Board meeting, on Monday afternoon, last week's prices were reaffirmed for fancy brands, but there was a slight reduction on other grades. The intensely hot "weather of the past few weeks through the section of which Elgin is the center has had the effect of lowering quality of the creamery in Chicago markets. A large part of that coming to mar ket lacks in Leepinc quality. It is reported that one of our leading jobbers this week re turned a car load ol Elgin creamery to his shipper because it lacked the sweet, fresh taste which belongs to fresh butter. Said a jobber to-day: I find that much of the creamery butter on the market of late is acidy, even when it is but a week or two old. For the reason that there is so much of this grade on the market prices are off fur all but lancy stock. The latter is firm, because it is scarce." LIVE ST0C& HABKETS.

A Local Banker Eepels the Accusa tion of Discouragement to SPECULATORS AKD SPECULATION. Oil and Stock Brokers Not Burdened With Business, bat Fall of Hops. THK HEWS AKD GOSSIP OP THE CITI The impression that prevails in certain quarters that Pittsburg bankers discrimi nate against speculators seems to be un founded. A prominent bank officer speak ing on this subject yesterday said: "While Pittsburg financiers are conservative, they never stand in their own light The Ex change is a good thing for the city, and must be maintained. The securities traded in there, with a few exceptions, represent important local interests and possess a fixed value, which cannot be affected by manipula tion. These stocks are good collateral for money. "Chicago and St. Louis papers rail against the banks and accuse them of discouraging speculation. They have to. If they did noth ing to hold it in check they would soon be swamped, Bnt legitimate stocks find as much favor there as here. It is the wildcats against which the bankers set their faces, and they should bo frozen out everywhere as a protec tion to the public Fortunately there is very littlo of that kind of business here, thanks to the conservatism of our financiers. It is impossible to draw a parallel between Pittsburg and Chicago in the matter of specu lation. Tbey aro in contrast. In Chicago speculation constitutes the bulk of the banking business and bankers are compelled to, cater to it more or less. The best they can do is to guard against crazes and kite-flying; but even this is impossible sometimes. To say, there fore, that Chicago bankers constantly throw cold water on the speculative markets is far from themark. They are their bread and bnt ter. It is different here. Speculation Is so small a factor in our business that there is no inducement to nurse it; bnt we render it all needed assistance because we' consider our home securities safe. A man with an electrio or street railway certificate In his possession has something tangible to show for his Invest ment. It is not wind. "To the conservatism of Pittsburg hankers is largely due the exalted position which the city has attained in the financial and commercial world. It has worked successfully in the past, and thero is no reason to doubt its efficacy in the future. Our financiers are always ready to help along any legitimate enterprise. Specula tion amounts to very little as compared with other interests, bnt it is conducted on a sound basis and receives all the encouragement asked for. To say, therefore, that our financiers are opposed to it and refuse it material support, is about as far from the truth as it' is possible to get." Business News nnd Gossip. For information of all, the statement recent ly made is repeated, that mortgages are not published In this column for the reason that owners complain they frequently cast sus picion on unincumbered property. The authonties of Edgewood borough expect to place the 25,000 bonds just voted for a schoolhonse at 4 per cent. The security is un doubted. Property is aessessd at 500,000, bntits actual value is at least three times as much. There was some talk yesterday of Lafayette Hall changing hands, and a Wood street banker was mentioned in connection with the matter, but it was probably a revival of the old story, as no one could be found to vouch for the report. The property is held at abont S125.000. Three partly completed dwellings at Wilklns burg and one at Edgewood have been sold within the past three or four days, the purch asers not caring to run the risk of waiting longer.

The next largest was for $3,000, wuv The Dollar Savings Bank has over $3,000,000 invested in Government bonds, and nearly Sl, 500.000 in Pittsburg city bonds. William Adams; pi Memphis, Tenn., was in the city yesterday. In a brief interview he said: "The material prosperity of the South is equal to almost anything In the North.

There was next to no trading In oil yester day, and the market was as narrow as dull, the movement being within a range of 4c Monday's clearances were 6,000 barrels. Those of yesterday were probably less. The range of fluctuations was: Opening and highest, 89c; lowest and closing, 89c; with 89Jc bid. Tho same day a year ago the opening was 95c; high est, $1; lowest, 94Jc; closing, 88c, and clear ances, 504,000 barrels. Brokers spoken to expressed satisfaction with tho decision to list Lima oil. They think that the addition of so many certificates to the present small stock will have a good effect on outsiders, and consequently augment business. The matter has to be passed upon by the ex changes, but there is scarcely a doubt that tbey will take favorable action. It is stated the certificates will be put on the market not later than the middle of next month. The wells In the Bellevue field are progress ing in a rapid manner and several more are being put down. W. J. Hammond has located a well on his residence property, and Theodore Williams and a company of others will put a well down adjoining Mr. Hammond's place Tho material is already on the ground. Jos. S. Brown has leased Captain MulvehiU's place adjoining Windsor Park, and with several oth ers will commence operations immediately. Fentnrea of Yesterday' Oil Mnrket. Corrected daily by John M.

Lnck of Interest and Small Transactions In blocks The Hope of tho Bears A Littlo Activity In bnsnr and Railrond Bonds. New York, July22. The.dullness and stag nation in the stock market shows no signs of abatement at present, and to-day fairly broke the record for dullness, while the lack of inter est in the dealings and the smallness of the fluctuations have never been surpassed. The street finds nothing more interesting to talk about at present than the probable effects of the last announcement from the Treasury De partment in the matter of purchasing bonds. Brokers are prone to'see in it another favor able factor for the future of the street, as it is evidently the first move in the task of getting down the surplus which has accumulated so fast of late. The surplus is now about $50,000, 000, which with the fund for the redemption of bank notes makes about 105,000,000 now avail able for that purpose. It is evident to the most casual observer, however, that tho Secretary will not be able to get much out of lr, unless he raises his price for bonds, as the offerings at bis lato figures have dwindled down to insignificant amounts, and the street believes that this will be done. Tho bears liavo been looking forward to the time when the crops will make such demands upon the financial resources of the country that there will be nothing left In the New York banks with which to carry on a hull specula-, if5: nt the release of $105,000,000, or any large proportion of it, will eventually cause all their ?i!i?k "miscarry. The last hope is, however, that holders of Government securities will de mand such a high price thit the SecretaryfwiU refuse to pay it. In the market to-day Atchison and sugar re nnenes were the most active, but the transac tions in neither were of such magnitude as to attract any attention whatever on even a quiet ?awblle thli't In general was simply neg ifi 8near fluctuated over a range of a little over I per cent, but it never got far away from the opening price, until the last hour when a little spurt sent it up 1 per cent. There w"a feeble effort to get Atchison and some others of in the early trading, but the attempt wasoon given up and everything on the list relapsed into the most intense dullness. The strong features were Jersey Central and Citi zens Gas, off Brooklyn.which were brought uu fractionally in the last hour and helped to close the market firm at the best prices, which were only slightly better than those of the Pon ngin most of the list. Railroad bonds showed a little more feature than of late, though the general list was duil and stagnant, like stocks. There was, how ever, a few sharp changes among the inactive stock. International second certificates lost 3 at 80, and New York, Susquehanna and West ern relunding 5s 2 at 96. Government bonds have been dull and steady, and State bonds dull and featureless. The Fost says: While there is readiness to In vest in new and comparatively untried schemes, there is a marked apathv in railroad securities. The speculators who believe in them, and have been carrying long lines of them for months in the expectation that the public would want them, do not find much help from that direc tion. London has been practically out of the market for railroad securities for several weeks, owing to the unfavorable aspect of her South American investments, and Chicago and othar American cities are more largely Inter ested in tho new schemes, which, in many cases, have a special local interest for local speculators.
