ON GARDEN PRODUCTS
Frosts so Far Fail to Improve the
Vegetable Markets.
TOilATOESARESLOWATADECLIIiE.
All Fruits Scarce and Dear With the Ex
ception of Grapes.
CH1C1G0 DKESSED MKATS ACTITE
Office or Pittsburg Dispatch.
Tuesday. September 30, 1890.
The first frost of this season made its ap
pearance in this section on Sunday the 23th
ofSeptember. The effect on gardeners'
products so far, has been to depress vegeta
ble markets. A larger quantity of stuff
than usual has been brought to market
since the frost and gardeners hare found
trade lather slow this week. Said a lead
ing dealer yesterday: "Gardeners in this
vicinity nave been pushing more stuff on to
the market this week than trade calls for.
Tomatoes have been nipped by frost, and
their day is about over. Naturally we would
look lor higher prices. But our markets are
over-stocked.
While the season Is practically over and
higher prices are certain within a few days, for
the present gardeners are making tbe most of
their opportunity and rushing all available
stuff to market."
Grapes Abounding.
It is doubtful It in any previous year the re
ceipts or grapes bave been as large in a single
week as they will be this week. Prices have
rarely been as low as now. While all other
fruits are scarce and exceptionally high this
season, the fruit of the vine is unusually
abundant and prices are as low as ever. Last
week there wero received in this market close
to 40 carloads of grapes, mostly from Western
.New York and Northern Ohio.
this week receipts promise to be still larger.
With grapes selling at 3c per pound, there is
little room to complain or high priced fruit.
Everything else in the fruit line, however. Is
exceptionally dear tbis season, and only those
blesed with plethoric pnrses can afford to in
dulge in such luxuries as peaches and pears.
Our supplies of fruit tbis season come in tbe
main trnm tbe Western States. Missouri, Illi
nois and Kansas are our main dependence for
apples. Here and eastward to the Atlantic
ocean there is practically no fruit, with the ex
ception of grapes, and even in this line tbere is
a short crop m this vicinity.
The Pacific slope appears to have been most
highly favored in tbe fruit line this year. Cali
fornia fruits were never more abundant or of
finer quality than this season. But; with tbo
abuudant yield of tbe Pacific slope, there will
still be far from eDougb to go round, and a
winter of hicb prices in all fruit lines is cer
tainly at band. Already there are signs of an
upward movement in cinned fruits, and there
Is little doubt of an advance before many
days.
Chicago Drcated Ment-
Chicago dressed beeves are being handled in
tbe city to tbe number of not less than S'X) by
the four firms who represent tbis industry.
Said a representative of one of these firms yes
terday: Our trade is fully 33 per cent, larger
thanit was a year ago, but owing to the high
Jriced ice our profits are very much reduced,
n the summer e consume about 40 tons of ice
every week for the preservation of our meat.
Last year our ice cost us about $2 per ton,
while this season tbe cost of ice was SS to 10
per ton. making an increase of expenses nearly
$300 per week during the hot weather. As
prices of cattle are about the same
this season as last, it is plain
that our profits are very much reduced,
since we have not advanced the price of dre.-sed
beer.,' In addition to dressed beeves there are
bandied in this city by the representative of
the Chicago firms over 300 dressed sheep and
lambs every week, and about 100 dressed hogs.
The trade in dressed bogs has only fairly opened
in the past weeK or tn o, and, according to ex
perience of former years, will grow from now
till Christmas holidays.
The demand for Chicago dressed meat has
been exceptionally large this season, as the
high-priced ice has compelled a number of our
butchers to patronize tbe dressed meat firms.

CHICAGO Wheat There was more demand
and necessarily larger volume of business to
day and prices were higher, notwithstanding
the news was all more or less bearish, or at
least not anywhere favorable for higher prices
than during the preceding few days. But it is
not the first time the unexpected transpired.
The advance to-day was due largely to appre
hensions of higher prices by the short interest
The market, no doubt, has been oversold, and
the good liuving to-day bra prominent trader
rather developed this feature. Shorts were un
easv auil covered f rcelv. Tbe opening was
c higher than yesterday's closing, and tbere
was a s'eady advance of fffie more with very
slight fluctuations, then pries receded Jc the
market ruled more steailv and closed lc
higher than yesterday. Local speculative
operations were principally accountable for the
change.
Corn There was more doing athlgher prices,
a better one being manifested, which was due
largely to local influences. The steady buying
by several large operators had a good deal to do
with tbe advance, offerings at times being on a
moderate scale. First trades were at about
yesterday's closing prices, after which the mar
ket sold up with a little reaction K6?ie, cased
off some, ruled firmer, and closed with K6v.sC
gain.
Oats wero traded in more freely, and a firmer
feeling prevailed, especially for May. which Ad
vanced Jjjc under buying by a prominent local
trader, and also by shorts. The advance in May
had a good effect on the other months, which
advanced Jlc. At the top offerings increased
slightly, and pneeb yielded a trifle, but reacted
and closed steadv.

W0BDS THAT COUNT.
A Business Han Adds Bis Testimony
to the Growth of the City.
DEVELOPMENT OF TBE SUBURBS.
Sale of the Bi? Exchange Building Almost
Certain to Go Through.
THE NEWS AKD GOSSIP OP TOE CITI
It is about settled that the Exchange
building will be sold. That was the talk
yesterday, and those who said so were in
dead earnest. The matter will be definitely
decided at the meeting next Satnrday, bnt
it can be said in advance that there will be
practically no opposition. The property is
too valuable to be longer devoted to a business
that finds no support among investors.
Referring to' this subject a broker remarked
yesterday: "I think the best thing we can do is
to sell our property, secure quarters elsewhere,
and by cheapening the cost of membership
draw in an entirely new clement. If this fails
to revive speculation we will Eire It up as a
bad job and quit.
'Some think we bad better hold on to the
building for a year or so to get a better price,
but as delay would be attended by somo risk, I
am in favor of selling as soon alter publication
as possible. We can get 180,000 for the prop
erty, which I consider a fair price. An imme
diate salo will enablo us to make tlio change
and got in working order in a few weeks."
A Bnlnrn .linn Tnllc.
A prominent business man, who, on account
of his modesty, would blush to see his name in
print. In speikiog of tbe business situation yes
terday, voiced the almost universal sentiment
whenhe said: "That the city is growing in size
and wealth is beyond dispute. This is shown
by figures available to every person in te city,
but it is especially noticeable In the scarcity of
houses. The growth or the suburban onincw
is remarkable. Many of them were open fields
a few years ago; now they are covered with
houses, many of them of a high class.
"What we most need, as every one will ad.
mit, I think, is better streets, so as to make the'
city more comfortable and inviting to citizens
and strangers who visit us. I am glad to see so
much interest taken in tbis Important matter.
It is a guarantee of our redemption from mud
at no distant day. AVhen work under way shall
be completed, tbere will belittle to complainof
on this account. The year has been prosperous
thus far, and the futuro is bright."
Bnatnoas He "-l-ic Out.
The rapidity with wluc . the suburbs are fill
ing up with an industrious, thrifty class of peo
ple, is effecting a necessary distribution of busi
ness and thus relieving tho crowded portion of
the city, where there is scarcely elbow room.
Almost every Important street leading out of
tbe city has its business marts, which supply a
goodly number of people with almost every
thingthey need to the great convenience of
a large population, wbo are thus relieved of the
necessity of making long journeys whenever the
larder runs low. There is no hurtful rivalry iu
this broadening of the commercial field, since
there is enough business for all.
While this diversion of trade is a distinct

LUSTER RAIDED.
Friends of tbe Stock Tuknn by Surprise La
Norin Unlondcd.
Lnster and La Noria wero the only things
which attracted much attention at tho stock
calls yesterday. Considerable of the former
was picked np at what some considered a low
figure, but as the principal seller bad hitherto
been ono of the leading supporters of tho
stock. It is difficult to say whether the buyers
captured a bargain 'or not. A bole in the
ground is an uncertain quantity. It sold down
to 20. and closed at 19 bid.
A big block of La Noria went at 17 cents, a
fignre which involved little r.sk to tue pur
chaser. Almost any change lu conditions and
prospects will be in bis favor. A broker re
marked that this property would b3 worth
ruoro than Luster within a year. He was care
fnl not to say. what he based his opinion upon.
Philadelphia Gas was steady, but Electric
was weak. According to street talk tho trac
tions are involved in &o many complications in
the nature of combinations and absorptions, as
well as tho subjects of such sharp and increas
ing rivalry, that investors are afraid to touch
them. Their neglect gives at least a shadow of
probability to tbis assumption.

Flcnres Showing- Wonderful Growth In the
Easiness of the City.
Tbe month just ended was one of great pros
perity in Pittsburg, as shown by tbe Clearing
House report, which is given below.
The year 1889 made a record for business
breadth and activity which it was thought
would be hard to improve upon. This adds
weight to tbe largo gains of tbe present year
over that remarkable period.
The gain for September, 1S90. over Septem
ber, 18S9, is nearly 15.000,000. and nearly $21,
000,000 over September, 16S8. This shows a
steady as well as large growth of material in
terests of the city. All of the advanced ground
has been steadily held, and fresh conquests
made each year. Study what follows:

VERY TOSATISFACTOBY.
Paralysis the Only Feature of the Local'OlI
Slnrket.
Yesterday brought to a close what the record
shows to have been the dullest month ever ex
perienced in tbe local oil trade. There were
few fluctuations and a very limited demand
for tbo product. The outside interest disap
peared altogether.
Yesterday the market opened at the lowest
figure of the year and steadily weakened'until
near the close, which was a small fraction bet
ter than the lowest quotation, butlKc under
the onening. '
There was-considerable trading 'in the way of
switching the option, selling October and buy
ing November, but tbere was a general disin
clination to assume obligations In tbe unsatis
factory condition of the market. Tbe opening
and highest was 78, lowest 77. closing 77.
Clearings were 50,000.

NEW Y0EK STOCKS.
Specnlitlonaas to Whether lhe Nevr Poller
of the United fitntcs Treasury
Buying Silver Bullion Is
or U Not n Fnilarc.
New York, September SO. The stock mar
ket of to-day was in a transitory state, both tbe
bulls and bears still holding for further devel
opments, while each side talked and wrote
plenty of stuff to bolster up its own cause. The
bulls were Inclined to pin their faith npon the
recent strength shown in Lackawanna, while
the bears were making all the capital out of
Union Pacific and Hie unfavorable statement
of earnings. The market during the day was
remarkably f roe from boar pressure, and only
In Burlington and Qnincy was there any
marked effort to make an ' impression. Tbe
rumors of a forthcoming bad statement of
earnings fnrni'hed tbe ground for the limited
selling indulged irf. On the other hand there
were a few marked advances made, thongh
they were not fully maintained, and the final
changes are generally slight. The opening was
qnite irregnlar as compared with tbe final
figures of last evening, but there seemed to bo
a desire to cover, and while London was a seller
to a limited extent, there was no pressure any
where in the list, and the earlv dealings saw a
material improvement all along tbe line. Sugar
Refineries leading, followed by Rock Island,
Chicago Gas and Lackawanna. Tbe demand
soon slacked away, however, and dullness be
camo the ruling feature of the trading, but con
trary to tbe usual rule, the bet prices were
well maintained, and in some stocks even
further slight advances were scored.
Rumors of decreased earnings on Bnrllngton
were irregular late in tbe day, and the stock
was then attacked, with the result of bringing
it down about per cent from tbe best fig
ures, and in tho general list there followed a
shading off from the high prico of tbe fore
noon. Nn material loss was sustained, how
ever, and London became a moderate buyer,
which induced a rally toward tbe close, when
Pacific Mail recovered 1 per cent. The feature
of the late dealings, however, was the sharp
rally in silver certificates, which from 109j
rose to 112 on reported heavy purchaser by
bullion dealers. Tbe close was fairly steady
and generally at fractional gains for tbe day.
There were no material losses, even Burlington
being down onlv per cent, but Pacific Mail is
up Vi. Sugar IK and Wheeling and Like Erie
is preferred 1 per cent. Railroads bonds were
again dull, with, tbe usual slight movements
and utter lack of feature of any kind. The
sales reached 738,000 for all issues. Govern
ment bonds have been'dull and firm. State
bods have been dull and steady.
The J'ost says: "The further decline In the
price of sliver to-day attracts uiurb attention,
because it starts the query as to whether the
experiment of advancing the price of silver bv
the purchases of the Treasury, to a parity with
gold, is not a failure. There are, however,
some immediate causes which have had an
important effect in causing the decline, and
which are not permanent. First of these that
for the last week tbe Treasury has been ont of
the market as a buyer, though the purchases
win uogin again 10-morrow; next tne supply or
bullion here has not been diminished by the
Treasury purchases; next the trade relations
between England and India bave been enough
more favorable to England in tbe last few
months to make a decrease In the demand for
sliver for export to India. Next money is tight
in London, and dealers in silver there, seeing
that the demand was lighter for tbe time being,
both in tbis country and for India, bave only
bid declining prices. Tbe usual presumption
of speculators in such cases is that prices will
continue to decline because they bave alreadv
declined. But whatever may be tbe final result
of tbe silver experiment, tbe immediate causes
aDove referred to havo probably spent their
force for tbe time being, and an upward reac
tion in the price of silver before long is not
improbable.

WALL 8THEET GOSSIP.
Points From the Inalds for tbe Benefit of
Locnl InveUors.
(Special Wall street wire to W. W. Vensel, stock
and grain broker. 115 Fourth avenue.
Although London prices were somewhat be
low our close, and the bears did their utmost
tousotblsas an argument to depress prices,
and 'In spite of some hammering at Union
Pacific and Reading during tbe earlv transac
tions, the market bas held its own to-day
and developed a decidedly strong undertone.
This is all tbe more satisfactory, lu so far as
the entire trading community bas been prom
Ised, and bas looked for as a statement of earn
ings from the Chicago, Burlington and Quincv
which would be as unfavorable as that issued
by the TJpIon Pacific yesterday, and consid
erable of tbe former stock has been sold in
anticipation of tbe figures to be made public.
We don't think that much of tbe buying has
been for the covering of shorts, and if the bad
earning' expected don't depress prices we are
inclined to anticipate good baylcg demand
from the bears.
It seems likely to ns that, in view of the gen
eral demoralization and timidity of tbe bolls,
the buyers during tbe past 48 hours have not
been of the short waisted kind, and will not
part with their acquisitions except at a good
profit. Hence, we think we see a basis for an
ticipating an Improvement In prices which will
be more tban a rally.
Tho loan crowd shows a large uncovered
short interest, and most or the active stocks
are in good demand. Money rules somewhat
snugger in anticipation of interest payments to
be made to-morrow, but Is likely to be easier
by the end of the weok. One of the
features o f the trading was tho strength of
New York and New England, in which tbo
buying was yery good, and there Is some talk of
another deal for the acquisition of tho road.
We continue to cling to the ball side of the
market, and believe that nnrKinuitnruant
joricas will ultimately proys very profitable.

Tho grape season is at its height this week,
and, in spite of scarcity of other fruits, the
fruit of the vine is as low as it has been for
many seasons. Last week's prices of creamery
butter were reaffirmed by the meeting of the
Elgin Board on Monday. Strictly fresh nearby
eggs are a shado higher. Potatoes are in good
demand and choico stock Is moving freely at
outside quotations. Tomatoes are in supply
beyond demand, and markets are weak at lower
prices than have prevailed for a week-or two
past. The first frost of tho season, which put
in Its appearance this week, has bad the effect
of bringing larger quantities of tomatoes to
the market tban the trade calls for. Hence
the decline.
