Harmi Leather DalL
The Allegheny harness leather tanners
eport trade as very bine. Prices have
Iropped 2c per pound in the past two weeks.
The stock in hands of tauners is light, in
pite of low prices. The cost of production
s a shade higher than last year at this time
rhen margins were uncomfortably narrow,
-'rofits arc so small at this date that tanners
zpress a doubt as to whether there is any
nargin le t Certainly it requires close
ratcbing and the stoppage of all leakages for
larncts leather tanners to make anything at
irescnt prices, loilowing are rates as fur

While tole leather la off leper pound in the
ast cek or tu o, demand is active and products
ne moving out freely. The, shoe trade is in an
inusuallv prosperous condition. An advance
if 10 to 25 per cent on shoes the past month and
d! materials that enter into the making of foot
vear are firm. Manufacturers are refusing
r.lers for next spring's delivery, a fact unusual
u the history of the trade. Until recently sole
father was the weak factor of the leather
radc Now it is the strong factor, and sole
eatlier tanners find a ready demand for their
iroducts. Hides are still dull and slow, with
uarfcets in buers favor all along the line,
luff hides and calfskins are particularly weak.
till they are 2c per pound above the lowest
wint reached last year.
ViuiH'iiiialark I5elt.
A recent interview with a citizen of Ridg
vay. Elk count. P.u, developed some facts of
nterest concerning the tanning industry,
tidgwayistbe center of the hemlock bark iu
iustry of Northern Pennsylvania. The
emlock territory of the State is about 75 by
oO miles in extent, and the tanneries located
ti that district have extra facilities in securing
uik. The cost of hemlock bark at Ridgway
s about S5 per coid. The two tanneries
ocated at that point consume about 40,000
ords a year.
Large quantities of their products find ready
arkcts in Kurope. and it is not an uncommon
ling to receive a cablegram in the morning
tiling for immediate shipment and see the
ods on the mj before nightfall of the same
v. Saia one of our leading tanners: Tne
st of bark transportation has become of lite
mis a ver important element in the success
the tanning industry. Bark is bulky, and
t of transportation long distances adds very
atenally to cost of leath ;r. Pittsburg has ad-
titagcs over New England tanning centers by
eason of Its nearness to "West Virginia bark
-.gions.
Aud the tanneries located in the very midst
' the bark districts have, of course, special
xUvantages, which count in these days of close
tiargins. We have reached a time when all
importunities for reducing cost must be
natched, and the manufacturer who fails to do
Q is apt to be left."
Railroads Crowded With Stuffi
Commission merchants are again complain
ng of delays on Western railroads, feaid a
eading jobber or dairy products yesterday: "I
lave met with some heavy losses of late from
he failure of railroads to deliver goods at the
;iac expected. A lot of cheese and buitcr
.tipped from Ohio, which should have been
itre on Saturday, did not appear until Tues-1-y.
This delay has wiped out all expected
profits. Onr railroads coming into tin-, city
'nun the West are evidently having more stuff
ifered than they have ability to handle."

FACTS TAKING ROOT.
Monejed Men Br-ginniog to See
There is Profit in Building.
LEAVEN OF PROGRESS WORKING.
Two More Important Deals in Down
Town Property Brought to a Dead.
THE NEWS AXD GOSSIP OP THE CITY.
Cities have sprung up in a day only to
disappear the next. This is mushroom
growth. It has taken Pittsburg more than
100 years to reach her present exalted po
sition as a manufacturing and commercial
center. This is substantial and durable
growth.
Pittsburg is a business necessity not a
creature of speculation. Her growth has
been responsive to the demands of business
and population. She has always waited for
wants before attempting to supply tbem.
The anticipating wants which may never
arise is a risky business, and has brought
rnin upon many communities. In preparing
a rabbit for the table the first thing to do is to
catch it. In building a city the promoters
should make sure of getting people to fill it.
Pittsbnrg has never been a city of empty
houses. She has never had enough to supply
the demand. There are fewer "to lets" here
than in any other city in the country. Prac
tically, there are none. Thus handicapped her
growth is restricted and her business embar
goed. No better proof of this can be found
than the fact that large numbers of people are
prevented from locating here on account of the
impossibility of obtaining houses. There are
not enough for those already here, and new
comers stand no chance at all. Hore is a vital,
pressing want, which is patent to every ob
server. It is so plain that he who runs may
read.
What can be done about it? Well, there's
the rub. To ordinary comprehension the only
way out of the difficulty is to build more
houses. It is not the cnstom in this country for
people to live out of doors. They must be
boused, as well as fed and clothed. But it takes
money to build bouses. This brings the capi
talist into the discussion. He has the money
and could cover the outskirts with houses if he
wanted to. Why don't be do itT Is be afraid
the investment would be unprofitable? It has.
been demonstrated again and again that the
average run of dwellings yield 7 to 8 percent
and business houses more. In what other field
of activity could he do as well, and at the same
time be so helpful to a deserving element of
uie commumtyr
There are signs of a change in the sentiment
and attitude of Pittsburg's rich men upon this
vital subject housebuilding. They are begin
ning to see its importance anu to realize toe
certainty of- handsome profits which it dis
closes. Andrew Carnegie has more than once
expressed his intention to build on a large
scale. Others could be named who are simi
larly disposed. Several syndicates have been
formed with the same end in view. These ex
amples will no doubt influence other rich men
and corporations to look more iavorsblv upon
the building industry, tue extension of which
is an imperative necessity to the development
of the city and to the maintenance of its su
premacy as a manufacturing center. No one
should hesitate to" build for fear the business
will be overdone. A thousand houses a month
for the next decade would not more than fill
the requirement.

CHEAP M0KEY.
Why There is so Little, of It in Pittsburg
Bank Notes.
Business at tho local banks yesterday was of
the usual volume. There was a moderate bor
rowing demand trom merchauts and manufac
turers, and an adequate supply of loanable
funds to meet it. Rates vf ere steady and un
changed. Checking and depositing were good.
Monday's business was unusually heavy as
shown by the Clearing House report, exchanges
being S2.840.581 66 and balances $349,351 39. It
is a fact worthy of note that exchanges have
not dropped below the $2,000,000 mark this
year, and have frequently exceeded S3, 000.000.
Talking about cheap money vesterday a
bank officer said: "There 19 less of it in Pitts
burg than In any other city in tbe country,
owing to the many opportunities for profitable
investment So well Is this understood that
when a man wants cheap monev he goes East
for it generally to Philadelphia!"

Oil on a Lower Level Because the Standard
is Buying.
Oil took a downward turn yesterday, opening
and closing a large fraction lower than on the
previous day. The first and highest quotation
was 81. and the lowest and closing 5C;. Tbe
only apparent reason for the depression was
lack of support, conditions being as bullish as
ever. Trading was light.
A broker remarked: "My advices are to the
effect that; tbe. Standard has-had a-big run. on
refined, and is now buying crnde more heavily
than usual. If this be so, it accounts for the
weakness displayed by the market yesterday
and to-day. "When tbe-octopus gets all it
.wants it will probably relax its grip a little and
permit an advance. I: Is this prospect that is
causing the longs to hold on to their stuff,"

SEW YORK STOCKS.
Stock Market Opens Dull, but Becomes Finn
and Closes Strong Speculation as
to the Sugar Trust's As
sets aiid Profits.
New York, October 21. The stock market
to-day was dull, with the usual active spot and
irregular movements, but ending with a strong
tone and generally fractional gains over last
night's prices. The opening was qulot, and at
irregular but slight cbanges from last night's
figuies, bnt a firm tone was developed inmost
of the list, last night's movement being con
tinued, but there was little feature to tbe
trading, tbe demands soon slacking away.
Thero was an indisposition to trade among the
professional element, the uncertainties of tbe
situation making a waiting attitude. for the
time being, and dullness soon became the
rnling characteristic of tbe market.
The bears continue to feel' the market at
every opportunity, and the dullness this morn
ing was taken advantage of to raid Lacka
wanna and the Grangers, of which only Bur
lington was fnund specially vulnerable. Tbe
contest in Sugar Refineries was continued with
some little advantage to the bears in the early
dealings, but the stubbornness with which
prices were held outside of the few stocks men
tioned caused a cessation of the efforts before
noon, and dullness again became oppressive.
Tbe supposed selling for foreign account in tbe
past few days, together with tbe poor showing
of the bank statement last Saturday, and tbe
fear that complications in Sugar Refineries
would act unfavorably upon this market, has
deterred operations fur the long account, but
the besitatipn of the bears brought in more
good buying in the afternoon, and on a very
limited business prices were advanced slowly
but steadily throughout tho remainder ot ihe
day. Sugar Refineries was prominent In the
movement at first, but it failed to hold off the
improvement, the higher prices hringin-' out
considerable stock, ana tbe advance was par
tially lose r
The Villard stocks then became the feature
of tbe market, and the Northern Pacific pre
ferred and North American were both leaders
in activity, while they represented a decidedly
S'rong iront, both touching materially higher
figures than at anv nrevioiin tim nt ti.n hv
Rock Island followed tlio manipulation In the
of the loss and a fraction in addition.
In tbe la e dealing Louisrllle and St Paul
wero prominent, and tbe latter touched 60
again. Amng the specialties Hocking Valley
was tho only f eai ure. The market finally closed
quiet, but firm at or near the best prices of the
day. The final changes are almost at tbe frac
tional gains, but Northern Paciflo preferred Is
up 1. and North American and Hocking Val
lev each 1 per cent.
The railroad bond market was enlivened by a
bear manipulation of tbsRockIsIaiid5s, which
declined to 93, but later recovored most of the
loss. The other speculative issues were qulto
neglected, and-the dealing presented no feature
of lutei esr, and the final changes of note are
nnnsnally few. The sales readied $830,000, bnt
no activity was seen lu any special issue.
Government bonds have been dull and steady
to firm. State, bonds have been anil. and
steady. '
The JPott says: There was a rniaor 7esterdy
n d to-day that a receiver will be appointed for
tbe Sugar Trust "What grounds there are for
tne report it is difflcut to discover, but nroba--bly.ltwas
the natural expression of the pre
vailing oplniom that the public really have a
right to know something more about the
assets and liabilities of a -concern which pro
fesses, in a semi-official way. to have $50,000,000
or capital, and upon which, in the same semi
offitial way. it Is reported to be making profits
of from 12 to 15 per ccut .per annum. By these
representations it solicits the investment of
capital, and yet no official statement has ever
been made of its assets or the profits of its
operation. It has been commonly alleged that
the actual value of tbe 20 sugar refineries in
the combination was only one-third of the
$50,000,000 of alleged stock. 'If this is the case
the sugar refiners are making profits of ,4(1 to 45
per cent by a combination-which was declared
illegal last June, when ihe Courts "decided that
the North River refinery had forfeited its
charter by joining tbe trust

Trade has been quiet for the past week,
owing to weather and wretched condition of
country roads. Markets move along in the old
ruts, without any marked change. Coffee op
tions are moving np and down, under specu
lative manipulations, but the undertone of mar
kets is strong. Canned goods are still firm,
witb a prospect of higher prices before many
days. The expected advance on foreign fruits
as a result of tho new tariff has, so far, failed
to materialize.
