EsSES iecsKsvriH mwmmfrwfr KBTff THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1890. A STIFF UPPER LIP Altogether the Best Weapon With Inch to Fislit I'anics. PITTSBURG KEEPS UP HER RECORD. A Boston Man Uickerin: for Land Upon Which to Build Many Houses. TOE FINANCIAL SKIES CLEARING UP If, unfortunately, any citizen of Pittsburg believes that liusinessis dull, be should look over yesterday's Clearing House report and change his inind. It represents Saturday's business. AVith bank clearings aggregating over 3,000,000, the most timorous should dismiss bis tears of disaster and take cour age. Iron and steel, coal and coke, and many other things of equal necessitv in which Pittsburc deals are as secure against "panics" as Mt. Washington is from the overflow of the Monongahcla river. A Iloston Man's Idea. Mr. M. F. Hippie furnished a bit of Interest ingnens jesterday. He said: "1 am dickering with a lJoston capitalist, who is now in rmsuurg, for a piece of land in the East End. If lie gets it. and I tliink lie will, lie ill build a number of brick dwellings of a good class for sal- and rent. He is thoroughly experienced in the business, having built seeral liunaied houses m Koston, and has the cot down to a point. "In talking with him this morning he told me the building business had been ocrdone in Boston, there being more houses than occu pants, and in casting about for a new field of activity he had selected Pittsburg as being ttie inot promising in the country. He had heard that houses Mere scarce here, and after per sonal investigation stated that such was the fact. He think he will find prompt sale for an lie can umiu. This accession of outside capital and enter prise, if the project shall materialize, will not onlj goto relieiea po-itlve want, but it will likely stir up local capitalists and builders to a sense of tlie duty which they one to the city where tne haTe made their uione). The Old Complaint. In confirmation of statements all of which are true a preachinc that houses are distress ingly scarce, Mr. Ira II. liurchheld said j ester da): "1 cculd rent 10C dwellings at once if I had thwn. I have had inquiries Tor houses from Jtcw York and Connecticut by people who want to locate here, but have so far been uuable to t-ecure places for tbem, and tney will probably lie compelled to stay away. It is the same with business bouses, the) cannot be had for love or niunc). "Among a number of applicants for a busi ness fetand is an Easicrn man who nants to Harm shoe More, but I hae been unable to find an) thing for him in what is called the bus iness center. I think I Mill be able to locate Iiiiu iu Hazilttood." Ila-iness es and Gossip. This is a good time for business men to ob serve Dav) Crockett's maxim: "Be sure you are right then go ahead " Ihere is no danger to tlic careful and prudent. extst)ring mil probably witness a brisk movement in real estate in the fcewickley dis trict, extending up as far as Allegheny. A comber of schemes looking to this end are fcerag worked up. The Osceola schoolhouse in the Twentieth ward is neanng completion. The roof is on and woik on the interior Mill begin at once. It t- the intention to have the building ready for occupancy b) the hrst of the ) ear. 1 he talk, on Tourth aicnuc jesterday ran more on the weather than the "panic." The diluvian infliction is much the worcof the two for I'lttiburg. but even it his been unable to throw bu-iness on its back. "to far this) ear the number of bulldingper xntts taken nut in the citv proper is 1.007. repre senting 2,tWj houses.

HO BACKWARD STEPS. The Local Monetary Sit nation Satisfactory From Eierj 1'olnt of View. There was not evena symptom of excitement in the local money market yesterday. London and Wall street troubles Mere completely ignored, but even from those centers of dis turbance the news was reassuring, and the im pression was that the storm had spents its force. People entitled to credit at the banks readily obtained all the funds they wanted, but float ers, those who apply only occasionally for as sistance, received very little encouragement. Ihis conservative course is always safe, but more so now than usual, sincethe first duty of the banks is to regular enstomers representing estiblisbed interests which must be protected at all hazards. Checking and depositing Mere almostupto the best of the ) ear. Exchanges were J3.052. 514 77 and balances 313.525 23. As the-e figures represent actual business, it is unneces sary to say that Pittsburg is not ready to plunge into the soup.

November 17. The stock market to-day, after having time to recover from the scare of Saturday, was much less active than for any for the past two weeks, and the evident return of confidence caused a slow but material advance in values all along the line, notwith standing the fact that there was great irregu larity and feverishness throughout the cntiro dny. There were two more fail ures announced, both due to the shrinkage in value, but they bad but slight effect, the failure of Gregory fc Ballou serving to keep Missouri Pacific down behind the rest of the list, as it was understood that the firm Mas heavily long ot the stock. The sales under the rule at one time were about all the busi ness done, but they were all cleared away be fore noon, and later when it became evident that no more failures were to be announced the buyers assumed a more confident front and the upward movement in values was accelerated. To-day's developments show conclusively that the market has for a long time been largely oversold, and that bids and ostensible Eurcbases were made by bears when the num er of stocks called for could not be obtained in the market. The general opinion seems to be that it is now only a question with investors of getting stocks at present prices, as the leelin of insecurity has almost subsided and that a steady improvement may be looked for on a sound basis. Tbere was a renewal of the old rumors this morning of a combination among the leading capitalists to support their respective special ties, and the action of the Boston Clearing House in following the example of the New lork banks in issuing clearing nouso loan certificates were of much influence in reassur ing many would-be buyers. Tbe general con fidence was that tbe worst has come out in the publication of tbe truth in regard to tbe Bar ings and that tbe prompt action by the Bank of England would prevent any recurrence of the slump in values in tbe future through forced liquidation. Thn mnrLiit MiIb mnrn(nB vrna TArv lrrai.nl.. at the opening through tbe lower prices from ionuonana tne enectoi tne improvement In tbe feeling here, and while most stocks were fractionally changed. Burlington and Lacka wanna were each IK lower, and Northern Pacific preferred and Itock Islaud were each up 1. Tbe market was. as a rule, firm from tbe first sales, but there was a further drop in Burlington, Lackawanna and Sugar, which, however, was soon checked, and those shares as a rule moved for the remainder of the day with the rest of tbe list. Much irregularity in tbe movements was no ticed. but there was a marked absence of ex citement or apprehension, and while the uncer tainties of the situation for tbe present kept the room traders quiet, andcommission houses were not specially active, tbe diminution ot tbe amount of business was tbe only unfavorable symptom, if snch it may be called, and the de mand from tbe foreigners and the shorts kept prices moving slowly but steadily in the up ward direction. The greatest interest was centered In Lacka wanna, and after its early drop there was a rise of 6 per cent in it, the price fouchlng 130 in the afternoon. Tbe Northern Pacifies were still very prominent and showed smaller fluc tuations than the other active stocks, but tbe preferred touched 60. There were a f civ weak spots and Jersey Central went below 100, and the Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks sold loner. uutineyuaano apparent innuence upon toe rest of the market, and tbe close was fairly active and strong at or about the best prices of theday.

Railroad bonds were also less active than usual of late, and while the more active issues showed some improvement in the tone the others were weak, and almost all showed ma terial losses from the last previous sales. It nas announced that the Barings bad flew off the Atchisons 4s and Incomes, and tboso bonds were again strong, the iucomes closing 2 per cent hisher. The sales of all issues reached $1,969,000, or winch Texas Pacific seconds contributed C25.000; Northern Pacific 6s. 144. 000; Atchison 4s. $144,000, and the Atchison in comes, $123,000. The dealings extended to a laree number of issues, and the losses are by fartbo moreluunierous this evening. The rott says: Considering the great shocks to public confidence experienced by the events in New York and London since last Monday, the rapid restoration of confidence in the value of American stocks is not only remarkable but is significant of the cencral belief that thev are yer cheap. The disposition to take advantage of the abnormal depression to buv stocks for a large advance has been promptly manifested upon every occasion when people began to think the "worst was over." Last Thursday, when it was known that the Bank of England hid not advanced its late of discount, and that the fortnightly settlements had been made without a failure in London, there was a prompt recovery from the effects of the failures ot brokerage firms and banks in this market. It was noticeable that large amounts of money came into the street to buy stocks for people who had not been dealing in stocks for months The following tn tile shows the prices or active stocks on the .New York stock Kxchanire yester day.

Improved Quality of Cattle Offered at East Liberty, BUT M IHPK0VEMEHT IN MARKETS Warm, Wet Weather Diminishes Revenues of Lire Stockmen. SW1NB LOWER AND GOOD SHEEP STEADI Otfice of The Pittsburg Dispatch, Monday. November 17, 1890. ( At Heir's Island. Receipts ofcattle were light and markets sluggish with the general situation in buyer's favor. Quality of those offered was above late average. The improvement of quality and light supply saved markets from a de cline which would otherwise have occurred. As it was, prices barely held up to rates of last week. Bayers made an effort to bear markets, bnt were unable to bring drovers to their views, so that prices were essentially the same as prevailed last Monday. Prime heavy Cbicagos sold at tS 40 to $5 50; good to choice medium weights, $4 75 to ?o 15; common to fjir do, 54 40 to 84 65; good to choice light weights, $4 50 to $4 65; common to fair do, $4 10 to $4 25; roughs and grassers, 12 00 to J3 75.

Two or three carloads of stock for the Heir's Island yards were detained in Ohio by a wreck and did not put in an appearance until after noon, whsn buyers bad departed. At Woods' Kun and East Liberty. There were 240 bead of cattle on the market at Woods' run yards this morning, of which 168 head were from Ohio, and tbe balance from Chlcaco. Chicago cattle sold at a range of Sc to 4fc. and Ohio cattle at 3c to 5c A few of the Ohio beeves, it was reported, were close to prime, weighing from 1,500 to 1,600 lbs. The number of sheep and lambs on the market was 4SS head. Sheep sold at a range of So 25 to So 40, and lambs from 6c to 6Jic per pound. There were 287 hogs on the market, all from Ohio, and the range of prices was 4 15 to 84 85. At the East Liberty yards there were about 125 heads of cattle on sale at the opening of the markets this morning. The proportion of good beeves in the offerings was somewhat larger than the late average. There were no strictly prime cattle offered, as there is no loneer a de mand for this grade at these yards Bntcbers whose trade demands prime buy direct from Chicago. Markets opened slow at last week's prices for licht, tidy butcher beevbs. such as our trade calls for. The only grade of cattle which was firm were good feeders, which are in short supply. Stockers and all common and low grade beeves were dull and heavy, with markets favorable to tbe buyer. A commission man who claimed that he had as good cattle as were on the market reported top price at 4 60. Buyers were present in fair force, but made the most of their opportunity from the weather. A crisp, frosty condition of weather wonld. without doubt, have added many a dollar to the revenues of shippers and commission men. The approach of Thanks giving and consequent heavy supplies of poultry have curtailed demand for staple meats There seem to be no conditions of late favorable to the drover. Tbere Is probably no class in our business world as little inclined to Thanksgiving as dealers in live stock. - Tbere were from 40 to 50 carloads of hogs on sale at East Liberty yards tbis morning, about one-third of which were good corn fed stock. Top prico of Philadelphias was Si 00 to $4 05. Markets were dull and slow at a decline of lOto 15c from last week's prices all along tbe line The run of sheep and lambs was about 15 loads. Choice, which were In tbe minority, were steady a, last week's prices hut all com mon and low grades were weaker. By Telegraph. NEW YORK Beeves Receipts.

May was fast assuming tlio lead in tho specu lative dealings, and it becan with sellers at SI 00 but not much business was done until it nau Deen offered down to 51. it touched 99 and reacted to 81 00 and during the next hour fluctuated between 81 0001 OOK Toward tbe end of that time tbe announcement was mado ot some failures among the Wall street stockhouies and a drop to 99 took pliee, December wheat started with sellers at 93J4, with some few trades at that price, but business did not become general until it was offered at ax It quickly dropped to 9 re acted to 93, and after a period of inaction, during which the price held close arounu 03, tbere was a sudden descent to 92 from tbe cause already alluded to. At 11:15 o'clock a quick advance to 93c fur December and 81 00J for May was recorded, those being tbe trading quotations at the time last named. After the fluctuations recorded above the changes were principally in tbe way of still further improvement, aud were sudden in their action. May wheat sold up to "81 01K. off to 81 00 ana again back to 81 01, and De cember oscillated between 93c aud 94Jc at the same time. Tbere was one small failure announced, but it had no effect upon tbe market. The visible supply statement was one of tbe influences tending to the firmness reported during tbe latter part of the session. The gen eral impression was that it would show an in crease of about 1,200,000 bushels, aud upon Its publication it was found to amount to the moderato increase of 498,113 bushls Tbere were not manv dull spots in to-day's business and trading was particularly active, but with out more than its normal amount of excite ment toward tbe end. The price of corn at the opening of business was in the neighborhood ot Saturday's closing quotations May being wanted af 61. with some selling at that, but the demand proved to be much in excess of tbe supply at any such figures, and there was a quick advance to 52K cents It was not until the wheat market had overcome its opening feverishness that those buyers of corn who think it cheap plucked up resolution enough to pay more than tbe last named price, and about tbe same time tbe shorts became active competitors for tbe offerings. The price under this stimulation advanced to 53 cents for May and held between that point and 52 cents to tbe close. Oats we.-e fairly active, but stronger, and prices closed at 0Kc advance over Satur day's prices. Mess Pork Trading was moderate. Opening sales were made at Saturday's closing figures, and a reduction of 6c was submitted to. Later prices rallied 1012Kc, but settled back again 57Kc Toward the close the market again rallied, and closed steady at medium figures Lard Comparatively light trade was re ported, and the change iu prices was slight. Short Ribs Sides A moderate business was transacted. Fluctuations in prices were frequent within a narrow range, showing little change from those current on Saturday.
