BOOM IN MILLINERY. Trade Kerer IJeforo as Active at This Season of the Tear. A SCARCITY OF OSTRICH FEATHERS. Plumbers' Supplies Adrancins by Beason of the Tariff AM) EXPEXSE OF BOILDIXG HIGHEK Office of The riTTSntmo Dispatch, Tuesday. September 10, 189a The fall trade in jobbing millinery lines is now at its height, and has been since the beginning of September. Volume ot busi ness, so far, is in excess of the corresponding period last year, or any previons year. Im ported goods, such as fancy trimmings, ostrich tips, beaver hats and birds, are in ex traordinary demand. A leading dealer re ports that bis sales for this month have been double in quantity those of any previous September. Other jobbers report a similar success. Said one jobber: "We have received over 60 cases of imported goods in the past few weeks and demand has been such that the stock is now nearly cleaned up. There has been an extra demand for feathers, so much so that ne are unable to All orders in this line, and as a result there has been a sharp advance in prices the past week or two. In former seasons fahihns have varied, and different varieties of trimmings were considered style. This fall o-tnch feathers are all the rage, and there are not enough to go round." Orders From Other Cities. As an illustration ol tho fact that Pittsburg is reaching out in other lines than the heavy weicht industries, it was developed in an inter view with a member of one of the wholesale millinery arras that orders, of late, have been cominc in freely from such points as Buffalo, Cincinnati and Ft. Wayne. Said be: "We havo a regular agent in Cincinnati, and have been receiving vt-ry satisfactory orders from that citv of la e." It is well established in the busi ness world that Pittsburg has passed Cincinnati as a trade emporium, but it was a surprise to the trade editor to learn that in the line of la dles' trimmings wo were furnishing retail stores of the Queen City. The retail depart ment of the millinery trade has fairly opened this week. One leading bouse had its fall opening ou Monday. AH will be in full blast before the week is out. The fall retail trade ius never as promising in its outlook as non. Plnniber.' applies Adrnncinff. What is termed the sanitary work in building lines, namely plumbers' materials, are 53 per rent higher this year than last. Copper has advanced JO per cent, and lead nearly the same amount. There is a prospect of still further advances, as the new tariff puts a tax of lKc per pound on lead imported, whereas, under the old tariff this came in free. One of our main sources of suDply of late years has been Mexico. According to Mr. Blaine's views of reciprocity, our Southwestern neighbor's goods thould come in free of dutv. The new tariff Imposes a tax amounting to 25 to 30 per cent on the plumbers' materials imported from Mexico. Tho section of the tariff bill in which dealers in plumbers' supplies are interested, thus reads: "Lead ore and lead dross, ljc per pound; provided, that silver ore and all other ores con taming lead shall pav a dutv of 1KC per pound on the lead contained therein, according to sample and assay at the port of en try." Said one of our leading deal ers in plumbers' supplies: "Onr trade will no doubt suffer from the new tariff. Volume of business is already lessened as coin pared with last year, though business is larger in dollars and cents. The old method was bet ter. In the end the consumer will have to pay the bills. The sanitary work in building is an important factor, and when yon add 35 to 40 per cent to the cost in this department it makes a serious impression on the aggregate in con struction expenses." The opinion is widespread t.; t plumbers' hills are rather steep. If to the id-time bills 40 per cent is to be added, there w 11 1 be a strong confirmation of the popular faith At the head of the tariff bill referred to above le tins sentence: "A bill to reduce "cvenuc. and equalize duties on Imports and for other purpoes." Said a leading dealer: "The section which takes imported lead from the free list is evidently for other purposes than reducing revenue." LIVE STOCK MARKETS.

CHICAGO Wheat Trading was fairly large to-day and a steadier feeliJg existed, and part or the decline of yesterday was recovered. The opening was abont the same as yesterday, followed by a'steady advance of J4Xc held quiet and steady at the improvement for a while, and then eased off, declining Je and closed steadier and Jilc higher than yester day. The firmness was attributed to an easier money market East. The market no doubt got oversold, and there was some disposition on the part of shorts to cover, the market receiv ing considerable support from this source. Money matters Kast, however, were watched very closely and formed one or the principal factors on the marcet. Operators were dis Dosed to trade cautiously, not caring to get in too deep if disposed to trade at all. Corn was fairly active and a littlo unsettled, ttougb the undertone to the situation appeared to be firm. The temper of the local crowd was bullish, and there was good buying from the opening, first sales being the same, under an advance and limited offerings sold up Jc, re acted He upon the announcement of the fail ure of a local house, but the depression was only temporary, the prices sold up c, ruled steady and closed with lc gain. Oats Although the volume of business was smaller, a steadier feeling developed and prices advanced slightly. The near deliveries were neglected, trading being chiefly in May, which fluctuated c and closed at intermediate figures, and at Jc advance over yesterday's closing. Mess Pork A fairly active trade was re ported. Prices were confined within moderate range, showing very little change, and closed at about medium figures.

Trend of Speculation Continues to Favor Seekers of Cheap Stuff. THE KEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE C1TI An officer of one of the lending banks of the city, speaking of he financial strin gency yesterday-, said: "I have abandoned the opinion held by me for many years, that monetary crises result entirely, or even largely, from speculation. The fact is, the country is being developed so rapidly, and so mnch money is being pnt into permanent improvements that we need a large addition to the volume of the circnlating medium. While we are the richest people in the world in substantial possessions, our floating capi tal is very small. There is not enough to carry on the necessary business of the coun try and provide against emergencies. This gives a certain class of financiers a chance to manipulate the funds and precipitate a crisis whenever they think it to their interest. So long as manipulation is possible, so longwill there be flurries, and pinches and panics. As I have intimated, the true remedy for tho financial disorders of the country, in my opinion. Is a large addition to the volume of money in circulation. I think it should be doubled. Some may say this would lead to Inflation of values and extravagance, and re sult in a grand smashup. Not necessarily. I think. Sensible people are always governed by reason and act prudently, whether tbeirpockets are f nil of money or not. By doubling the ctr cu'ation an immense impetus would be given to the material progress of the country. Manu factures would expand so as In make us altogether independent of foreign nations, tariff or no tariff, railroads would be extended so as to enable the farmers to more easily mar ket their produce, country highways would be improved, and private enterprise reach out and possess the land. It i3 true these great and necessary works are going forward all the time, but very slowly and with frequent interrup tions, owing to the scarcity of money. This should not be. The supply of the sinews of business should be so abundant as to render interruptions to necessary improvements abso lutely impossible. The glamor of Wall street would be less dazzling and its power curtailed, for the abundance of money would open up new avenues of investment no less profitable than speculation in stocks aud bonds and far more certain in results. "I do not mean to say that any addition to thf funds, however large, would wipe out spec ulation, nor do I contend that such a result Is desirable. But I do insist that by doubling the circulation the couutry would bo rendered se cure against the evils of manipulation, because there would be no profit in pursuing such a pol icy. It would be Impossible for any clique or combination of cliques to lock up a sufficient amount of money to produce a panic By doubling the circulation the working classes, the mainstay of the country, would be especially benefited. Thousands of new enter prises would spring up, augmenting the de mand for labor, wmch is now in excess 01 re quirements owing to financial inability to pros ecute needed improvements. While I am not an inflationist, a careful survey of the situation forces upon me the conclusion that the oountry is badly in need of a large accession to the cir culating medium. Recent enlargement is not sufficient. We want eaongh to insure a stable money market and put it out of the power of any combination of men to check the wheels of progress." Bntlocan News and GoIp. A deal for a S10.000 residence was hungup yesterday on a difference of S200.

Sale's of local stocks on call yesterday were 94 shares, against 673 tho previous day. Buy ing orders lor anything except so-called cheap stuff were exhausted. An investor said: "There is too much uncertainty in the money market to justify a man in assuming obliga tions, unless at a decided bargain. 1 his feel ing is so general that I do not look for an ac tive movement in stocks until the financial sky brightens." The active list was small, comprising Hazel wood Oil, Luster, Monongahela Water Com pany, and New York and Cleveland Gas Coal. Everything traded in except Luster was lower, but tho losses were m all cases for fractious. Bids, offers and sales are appended. FIRST SECOSD THIRD CALL. CALL. CALL. 1! A li A B A P. 1. S. & M.

I0CAL CASH. Demand of Dnlnc. Promptly Supplied The Line Mowly Relaxing. Checking and depositing were of good volume yesterday, indicating an uninterrupted movement in the regular lines of trade. Ex changes wero $2,660,955 75 and balances $381, 865 61. , Money was somewhat easier, but not over abundant. Regular customers got ail they wanted, but accommodations to outsiders were not so freely dispensed. There was no change in rates. Conditions will probably remain abont as they are until after the approaching quarterly settlements, when there should be a considerable relaxation of tbe tension. The rumor circulated In Wall street just be fore tho close of business on Tuesday that tha Clearing House Association had decided to Issue certificates to relieve the situation, failed of confirmation. Bank officials said that such action was only taken when a bank a member of the association required financial assistance. After it had assured the Clearing House of its perfect solvency, no such conditions existed and no such action bad been contemplated or even discussed. One reason given after tbe close for some of the weakness In stocks was tho indisposition shown by foreign houses to take any active part in tbe speculation until tbe outcome of the new Treasury policy can bo ascertained. Something definite will be known to-day. Money on call at New York yesterday Jwas easier, tanging from 14 to 15 per cent; last loan, 4; closed offered at 4. Prime mercantile paper, 79.

A Few Trades In Pennsylvania Oil, bnt Noue Id Bnckere. Pennsylvania oil was steady at the opening yesterday, and held Its ground until about noon, when it broke on New York selling, and closed at the lowest point of the day. Trading was unimportant. Range of fluctuations: Opening 84, highest 84, lowest and closing 82, showing a loss of nearly 2 cents for the dav. Clearings were 24,000 barrels. Buckeye was undisturbed. It was hardly mentioned. So completely has it vanished as a business factor that a trade in it would cause a sensation. It was neither offered nor bid for yesterday, and there will be no Improvement until the Standard accepts the Exchange price, whatever it may be. Features of Trttordny'a Oil Mnrket.

The stock mar ket was less active to-day, and its temper was more mixed than it has been for many days, but there was on the whole a materially better feeling, and especially during the forenoon, than at any time during the past week. Tho general Impression was that monoy would be easier after to-day, but that there would be an active money market thronghout fall or until fnnds, which are now engaged in moving tbe crops, shall have found their way back to this center. There was, therefore, a renewal of tbe hesitating character, which was so pronounced some time ago In the market, and, while there was some Investment and some covering of shorts, there was no large demand for stocks, and later the bears again became aggressive. Everyone is of the opinion that the worst Is now over and that premiums for the use of money are not likely to be seen again this year, even though comparatively high rates for money are likely to be the rule in the future. The bears, therefore, were inclined to be more cautious in puttiug out short lines, and consid erable covering was done early in the day. London came higher this morning and this market followed with advances on first sales of from H to per cent over last night's llnal figures, and, while tbe market remained fever ish and unsettled dnring the forenoon, owing to the further efforts of b;ars to bring about decline in the Villards, Grangers and Chicago Gas, there was a firm tone in the main, which resulted in fractional advances by noon. Big Four. Chicago Gas and Northern Pacific preferred made exceptional gains of over 1 per cent. The bears then took Lacka wanna in hand, andbefore2p.li.it was rattled off at 3 per cent on very large transactions. The general list sympathized to a limited ex tent in this decline, but a portion of the early gain was retained, and, when tbe pressure was removed, a sharp upward turn in tbe last hour brought almost everything traded in up to tbe best prices of the day, and tbe market closed quiet, but firm to strong, at the improvement. This list is almost invariably higher this even ing, the only exception beingLackawanna,wlth a loss of 1 per cent. Chicago Gas Ve. Louis ville and Nashville IK, Big Four and others at generally larger fractluns. , There was the usual limited business in rail road bonds and the market was unusually steady, tbe final changes of note being less than usual and tbe losses fewer in number. The sales or all issues reached $725,000. There n ere a few marked gains, and American Docks 5's rose 114 to 10 Texas Pacific incomes 1 to S9 and St. Paul aud Duluth 1 to 1C5. Government bonds dull and firm. State bonds dnll and steady. The. -Post says: "There has been an unusual movemeut of money to the interior to move crops, and for purposes of speculation and enterprise. Tbe imports of dutiable goods into the whole United States in tho seven months to July 31 were $18,000,000, or 6 per cent greater than in tbe same seven months of 1SS9, and this, togetLer with speculation in silver and other things, had caused an unusual expansion of the banks, as will be seen by the fact that the deposits of the New York banks bas been drawn down from $415,015,800 on August 1 to S3S5.149.500 on August 30, against $406,241,900 on August 30. 1SS9. On the 1st of August, 1S90, tbe proportion of loans to deposits was 96K per cent, and at the beginning of September ot the same year the proportion was nearly 102 per cent, the loans having exceeded the deposits by $7,396,900. The proportion of loans to deposits on September 13. 1890. was 102 per cent, loans having been $393,160,000 and deposits only 383, 250,900.

Trade Terr Active Shipments to Southern Ports Unusually Large Passenser Boii nes Also Good. The appearance of the harbor yesterday did not back up the assertion, that tbe river trade was on the wane On tbe contrary, it was al most as good yesterday as in tbe palmy days of yore. An unusual sight was witnessed, and a casual observer would say that the river trade was Pittsburg's largest commercial medium. Five steamers lined the wharf, which bespoke more for the river business, tban words can tell. The large wharf was literally covered with every kind of merchandise, products of this city. Tier upon tier of 'boxes containing glass, loomed up and conld be seen for a great distance, and nails in kegs were in profusion. Most of these goods were consigned to Southern ports and would require a dozen or more trains to transport them. Business was not confined to tbe handle of freight in tbo least, the passenger traffic also being very heavy. Travel ers who havo more timetban cash, recognize the excellent water facilities, the various lines offer and it Is needless to say tbe efforts of tbe different packet line managers to provide com forts were appreciated, as the registers of the boats will testify. The river Is now at the de sired height, and business la as flourishing as could be wished for.
