THE FCTTSFOKG DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBEE 15, - 1890." FEATUKES OF TRADE. What a Western Kew Xork Fruit and Yegetable Dealer Has to Say, THE CROPS IN THAT SECTION. An Adranco in Rubier Goods Looked for ly Manufacturers. THE LEATHEU TEADE STILL QUIET OFTIC! OF PlTTSBCEQ DISPATCH. J Tuesday. October 14, 1891 $ Fred A. Moore, of Clarkson, Jlonroe county, 2f. Y., has been in our city for the jiast day or two to dispose of some of the products of that prolific section. Kocnester is the central city of Monroe county, and Mr. Moore is one of the leading traders in fruit and vegetable lines. In an interview yesterday Mr. Moore thus gave the sitnation as to farm and garden products in his section: "The apple crop in the region around Rochester is a failure this seat-on, and there is not more than one-fourth the average yield of pears, quinces or plums. Last Jear my ton sent out 13.000 baskets of plums to the world's markets, while the entire product this year will not ex ceed that many hundred baskets. In vegeta ble lines about the only good crop we have this season is cabbage. Onions are very scarce. The 3 ield of crapes was never larger. The princi pal products of Monroe county are beans and barley, and as we come into sharp compe tition with Canada in these lines, our people are feeling good over the new tariff bill. Where oats, peas, beans and barley stow as profusely as they do in our section, we are just as much for protection as the iron and steel makers of "Western Pennsylvania. The Boot and Shoe Trade Prices of boots and shoes show an upward tendency. While there has been no marked advance, all signs point in that direction. Buy ers are disposed to pursue the hand to mouth policy in hope of a decline in leather. The general view of jobbers is that they are hoping against hope, and that present prices will be f ullv maintained. Any improvemen. in de mand for leather would at once strengthen markets. The situation of the leather market is quiet, but manufacturers are holding stock firmly. The demand for light rubbers has very much Improved under the influence of late wet weather. Said one of the leading jobbers yesterday: 'There are some kinds of rubber goods very hard to get. aud if we should have a severe winter it will be impossible to meet the de mand. Manufacturers have learned caution from the two open winters just passed, and have been curtailing output. Jobbers are car rying light stocks of rubbers, aud in the event of very severe weather there will not be enough rubber shoes and hoots to go round." The India Kubber Outlook. Following is what the 6"ftoe and Leather -Re-View has to say of the rubber situation: "There is ajvery good demand for lightweight rubbers, not only at the mills, but in all the distributing centers. The recent rainy weather has had a much greater influence upon the trade than would have been possible but for the extremely light stocks carried by the re tailers, jobbers and manufacturers. We have had two mild winters in succession and dealers and producers alike are operating with great caution. Stocks are nowhere excessive. There has been a noticeable disinclination to buy, in view of the absolute impossibility of forecast ing the character of the coming winter. The elements have become so capricious that a suc cession of frost and snow cannot be depended upon as a natural carollary of December and January. "Prices continue to bea somewhat disturbing factor. The advanced rates in boots and shoes do not cover the increased cost of prodnction resulting from the late rise and scarcity of raw Stock. If the fates have in store a succession of snowstorms for the coming winter, there is likely to be a rapid rise in nrices and a consid erable scarcity of desirable goods. The manu facture, however, is in the hands of a few com panies of undoubted strength. Although there is now no surplus stock, ret by crowding their plants and availing themselves of all their re sources an actual shortage could soon be made up. "Crude rubber has declined, but at the latest quotations it is still proportionately higher than the boots and shoes made from it. At the beginning of the year new fine Para was held at 73 cents; owing to the short crop it steadily advanced until the middle of September, when the quotations stood at 93 cents. Since then prices have weakened until the latest advices place new fine Para at 8S cents to arrive, and W5 cents for tuture delivery. "The world's stock of Para rubber on the 1st of October was 1.SU0 tons, against 2,350 tons October 1, 1SS9. During September the visible supplv of rubber increased 365 tons. The Sep tember receipts were 1,430 tons, against 1,120 tons for September of last year." LIVE STOCK MARKETS. Condition of Trade at the East liberty Stock Tards. OFFICE OFTnE PITTSBURG DISPATCH.

A Number of Influences Combine to Give "Wheat a Boost Corn "Weaker Oats Decidedly Higher Pork Still Bobbing Up and Down. CHICAGO Wheat The market was quite active to-day, and the volume of business transacted was large, though at times a quiet feeling existed. The market was strong, and prices averaged higher. Outside orders seemed to be more numerous, and it was thought the Northwest did considerable buying. It was the impression that St. Louis was short on the market here, and there was some covering from that source. The market opened strong and about 3c higher than yesterday's closing, advanced fie more, eased oif c, fluctuated aud closed XSc higher than yesterday. The firmness was attributed to the strong tone of European advicos, the decreae in quantity on ocean passage, tailing off in English deliveries and decreasing stocks. Corn The trade in corn was only of moder ate volume, with price changes confined within Xc range. The market opened strong, in fluenced some by the cold weather and to tbo receipts falling off from the expectations, ruled firm for a time with wheat, but when that cereal sold off. corn followed and declined ?Kc, rallied some and closed with a slight loss. Oats wero active, stronger and decidedly higher. There was an urgent demand from shorts, and a good many outside orders were also on the market to buy. Alter opening He higher and receding H&sic, advanced Jc and the market closed steady at nearly outside figures. Mess pork Trading was only fair. Opening sales were made at o7c advance, but grad ually receded 710c, and closed qmet at me dium figures. Lard Little interest was manifested. Early sales were made at 2c advance, but this im provement was not supported, and the market closed easier. Short rib sides A fair trade was reported. Fluctuations in prices were confined within a narrow range and exhibited very little change, ruled slightly higher earlier, but closed rather easier again.

Wall Street No Longer the Focns of Excited Public Interest. OTHER FIELDS CLAIM ATTENTION. Stocks Going Off LiTely, and Oil a Little More Than Holding Its Own. TOE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CIT1 Concerning the trend of speculation in "Wall street a high authority says that it is not alone the amount of trading in shares that shows a decrease in late years, or that the old-time leaders of speculation drop out of the street or retirejvoluntarily, while those who succeed them neither seek nor attain similar prominence. Booms are neither so frequent nor so general, and declines in Talues are apparently less likely to degener ate into panics. Speculation is more re stricted in volume, or is distributed over a greatly increased aggregation of securities. With an increasingly pronounced diversifica tion of the classes into which they are divided. Public attention has in lato years not only been withdrawn into fields outside of the Stock Ex chance, it is distributed over a greater variety of objects even among the material for invest ment and speculation which the regular share and security markets present to its attention. The early spring of the present year wit ncssed the beginning of what seemed a promis ing bull movement in the general share mar ket. This was supported by the general health and activity of buiness throughout tho country and the favorable position of railroad interests In respect to ea.-nings. Speculation for a time showed a greatly increased activity, with a marked augmentation of the interest of the public This resulted in a range of prices in May last which were generally higher than the average for a year or more previously. Tho collapse of this incipient boom began about tho beginning of June last. Since then liquidation seems to bavo been general and effective, and values have steadily declined. Pointers for Investors. The erratic course of Wall street, and th panicky feeling abroad are set forth in thee lollowing letter to John M. Oakley & Co.: There Is no use to argue against the east Wind. All one can do is to put on an overcoat. There is no nse to arguo against a declining market. All one can do-is to sell stocks. One thing after another comes in to emphasize the marked course of stock prices, which will un doubtedly tall below their values. The present situation is the reverse of a boom; it Is a slow panic We do not apprehend a panic in Wall street, because too many people are prepared for it. We wish we could say as much for the London Stock Exchange Bulls here have lost heart. Last night we said that wo expected lower prices from London this morning, and sure enough they were lower, and in St. Paul and Louisville- and Nashville very mnch lower. We said that while some of our critics smiled at our recent and continned allusions to the state of foreign speculation wo thought all our do mestic operators would soon see that we were closely concerned with the situation abroad. To-day the critical condition of speculation in London and the sharp fall in consols was tho common theme of brokers' talk. We also spoke of the grave situation in Ber lin, and predicted a drop in Northern Pacific securities, all of which were under the ham mer to-Uav. We believe, in spite of talk, of In crease in Northern Pacific dividend, that the stock will go to GO. Business News and Gossip. Mr. W. H.

A Healthy Financial Movement, With, No Scarcity of Funds. Merchants aud manufacturers, according to bankers' reports, were liberal borrowers yes terday, but they left enough for outsiders as well as for emergencies. There was hchango in interest rates, which were steady at G7 per cent the inside figures being the rule. The fact that money is working close to tbe C per cent line at all tbe business centers shows that it is actively employed, and this, in turn, shows activity In general trade. iSxchanges were 82,612,528 54 a good showing for Monday's business and balances 8305.821 22. A Berlin telegram says: A majority of the Central Committee of tbe Imperial Bank of Germany strongly resisted the proposal of the President of this bank to raise the rates of ai conntto5 per cent. The President there upon convoked a meeting of the special com mittee ot the directors and three delegates from the Central Committee and bis point was carried by a small majority, resulting In the advance annonnced Satnrday. The Loudon Standard, in Its financial article, says that an advance in the dlscout rate otihe Bank of England will be avoided. A, rise would strain credit throughout Europe. If Germany is wise she will seek the gold she needs elsewhere than in London. Money on call at New If ork yesteraay was easv, ranging from 45& per cent, last loan 4, closed offered at i.

There was a fair amount of stock trading on call yesterday, total sales being 235 shares, dis tributed over four securities Chartiers Gas, Philadelphia Gas, Luster and Electric There was a good demand for most of the the leaders, but holders, as a general thing, failed to respond, evidently thinking a crook in the lane is not far oif. Luster and Electric improved their standing, but otherwise figures underwent no material alteration. Some of the long-neglected interests seemed to be regaining favor, among them Chartiers Gaa, which joined the active list, selling at 38J4. As a general thing, the close was at the best prices of the day. FIRST SECOND TIHRD CALL. CALL. CALL. B A B A B A P. P.S. 4M. Ex 450 460 .... .... Arsenal Bank C6 75 .... m AlieghenyN.Bk Coin. Nat.

General Losses All Along the Line in the Stock Market, Including Lackawanna and Other Strong Securities Bonds Decline Also. NEW York, October 14. Advices from Lon don this morning were most depressing. The scarcity of money attributed to the precau tionary action of the Imperial Bank of Ger many, created a fear that the minimum rate of discount would be raised and the carrying of stocks rendered more expensive In the near future The political complications between England and Portugal also bad their influence in creating an uneasy feeling there, and the early prices from London showed material de clines from last night's figures. Upon the opening of our market there was found to be a heavy presnre to sell ofi tbe part of the foreigners, which was immediately added by 'further short sales for the account of the local bear contingents. Private cables re ported that there was heavy pressure from that side, which showed that the pressure there was not entirely upon sales because of tho influ ences mentioned. The market here was more active than usual of late, but tbe increased trading was entirely in the stocks which are favorites in London, a half dozen stocks furn ishing one-half the sales of all tbe listed. The opening prices were all lower, bnt special losses was shown in Louisville and Nashville, Northern Pacific preferred, St. Paul, Atchison, Reading and Union Pacific The first named stock stood the brunt of the pressure from the other side, and the sales in it are reckoned at about 150,000 shares, while the total amount sold for foreign account Is variously placed at lrom 25,000 to 40,000 shares. Louisville was be lieved to have roceived some support on a scale down from the insiders, but the bulk of tbe purchases in that and other stock was evidently from the bears who were covering shorts on tbe drop. The decline was very sharp in tbe early trading, and while there was a rallying in the forenoon it was feeble and soon came to an end. The afternoon drive was extended to a greater number of stocks than during the forenoon, and prices melted away rapidly under the pressure without support of any kind. Tbe extreme losses mounted up to over 3 percent in Louisville and Nashville, while many other stocks lost from 1 to 2 per cent. Sugar Re fineries, which bad been tho strong point in the market during the forenoon, fell back again and finally scored a fractional loss, although at one time it was 2 per cent better than last evening. Lackawanna was let off with the rest of the list, and its final loss is one of the most important of the day. The movements in the general lists wero in all case" small and important,and no feature of interest was shown anywhere outside of the few stocks which were subjected to the sovere pressure to sell. The prices remained at about the lowest alter an attack until another drive sent them down even farther, and the last prices are In almost all casses abont the lowest, the close being weak on a qniet business. The final losses of note are Louisville and Nashville, 3&: Northern Pacific preferred, 2 Lacka wanna, ipbi Ob a-bui, z; xiurimgion ana xvucn. Island, each l North American, &: Reading, IK; C.. C, C. t St. L.. Northwestern, , and silver certificates, 1. Railroad bonds felt the force of the down ward movements in stocks, but among the issues of the roads where stocks were subjected to special pressures, theReading and the Atchi son incomes being the principal sufferers. The sales of all Issues reached only $981,000, but out of that amount Atchison incomes furnished 8143,000, and Reading 1st Incomes 8130,000. The market, however, was heavy from opening to start, though few important declines are to be noted. Erie new 2ds lost 2 at 98; Minneapolis and St. Louis, 3; Iowa 7s 2 at 90; Reading lsts 2Kat62K. Government bonds have been dull but steady to firm. State bonds have been entirely neglected. Tbe Post says: The movements of tbe stock market are not governed by anything in con nection with rates or profits of tbe railroads as they are by the aspect of the money and credit situation both in this country and abroad. Money is, in fact, easy enough aud at low rate, but there has been such a general unsettle ment in the maintenance of the present status, that it has probably discounted almost any thing that could happen. Heretofore, for two or three years, the estimates of tbe values of investments, aside from any special causes ap plicable to particular securities, have been based on the expectations of a 5 per cent return on tbe investment. On this basis there are only a few stocks tbe market prices of which are above their legitimate level. The majority aro much below it. But if we assume that now, owing to the various causes which have made higher rates for money all this 3 ear then In several years previous, we must estimate the value of Investments upon a 5 or a 6 per cent basis. It would make the present prices of two thirds of tbe dividend paying stocks at present figures. The following table snows the prices or active stocks on tbe Mew York Stock .Exchange yester day.

At that hour the waters began to recede, mnch to the joy of the mermen, many of whom have boats ready to leave their moorings a3 soon as tbe stage of tbo river will permit. At Davis Island dam last evening the river was reported to be 14 feet 6 inches and failing, and the rivermen are confi dent that they will be all right by this evening, though tbe river was reported to be rising in the upper route. Many amusing things were seen on the river yesterday, but nothing caused more fun than an old ioboat that had gotten loose somewhere 'up the river and came floating down tho stream, as no one was auoara in guiae its course it took full possession of the river, and its movements attracted quite a crowd to see the fate ot tho unlucky shanty boat. All went well until near Market street, where the es caped boat struck a tow, and one end went np while the other went down, and it now rests peacefully at the bottom of tbe river. Up and Down the River. THE Adam Jacobs remained at home yesterday because the water was too much for her.
