Remand for the Best Harness Leather is Fully Sustained. WESTERN EGGS GO FOR HOME STOCK Office of The riTTsntmc Dispatch, i Tulsday. November 18, ls90. S Boot and Shoe Trade. Tlicjobbinjjsnoe trade, ot Pittsburg, was never in a healthier condition than right now. The advance in prices of 10c to 15c on all articles of ioot wear, which was estab lished setae months ago. is tally sustained in sorae lines of coods. Jobbers are behind in meeting orders. The demand for grain leather goods is far below supply. Eastern manufacturers of grain leather shoes refuse to duplicate orders, of late, without an ad vance of about 2Jc per pair over rates of a uiontb ago. Jfcw England manufacturers of shoes are working up to their full capacity, and products are going out as fast as they are ready for market. Tne upward movement is greatest in the Hue of cheap goods. Higher grades vary very little fioin prices of a year ago. The advance in rubber goods from tile jobber to tbc retailer the past j car lias been about 11 per cent. As the nide and leather market of late has been lending to lower prices, probabilities ate that our footwear "ill be cheaper next sear, but at this time there i& a good demand tor all lines of boots and shoes at the adtanco established last spring. IIarne' Leather. One of our foremost manufacturers of horse equipments said jesteidaj: "Our business is in as healthy a condition as I have ever known it, and my knouledge of the trade in l'itisburc almost covers a half century. A few days ago I placed an order with an Allegheny tanner for 500 sides of the bett hai ness leather per nion'h. for 14 mouths to come, at present prices. Ihe nigh grade- of harness leather seldom varj lu price, and, as this is the grade my custom calls for, lhae no fear tliat prices will be any lower Iroiu now till ISM. The lower grades are up and down, and aie an uncertain quantity. "The range of pricts now from low to high grade harness leather is 22c to 3S; per pound. Our best leather is made from hides imported trim Uermany. "A single German hide cut up in my estab lishment to-day weighed 53 pounds alter it had been through the Allegheny vats and finbbed into harness leather. T. is was almost double the average weight of harness leather produced from American hides " Tricks of Trade. There has been a great scarcity of Ircsti nearby eggs in our markets f or a w cek or two past, and country peddlers have found a diffi cult in meeting the wants of tLeir customers. Necessity is the mother of invention. Two large wagons covered wi h heavy canvas which had all the signs ot traveling over Western I'unnsjltania roads, v ere seen lately in front of one of our commission houses loading up with Western eggs The 30 dozen rases were being emptied into the large chests of the country wagons, partly filled with oats, and were no doubt, retailed out to retail grocers and families of the city ana suburbs as lrcshly gathered countrv eggs. The jobbing prices of these eggs was 21c per dozen, and the price to the victims was 2ic per dozen. An East End housekeeper said jestcrday, that the peddler on whom she relied for butter and eggs, reports that it hs been lmj'Oible to secure any tre-h egg on his beat of late. Ue had not caught on to the trick of Gathering fresh coantry hen fruit from the Pi.tsburg dealers who gather their supplies from as far West as Southern Dakota. There is a story of a preacher, who, after bargaining lor an organ lor ins Sunday school, and pocketing a 500 commission, said. "Tricks in all trades but ours " Lvidently there are tricks in the egg trade, MARKETS BY WIBE. The llownward Mneuient in Wheat Con tinue. A liig Slump on Report of the failure of Henry Clews Corn and Oat Tumble. CHICAGO The first matter which engaged theattention nf the wheat speculators, and was the chier influencing factor when trading com menced to-day, was tbc heavy increase in the amount on ocean passage, which Becrbohm's dispatch placed at 3,030,000 bushels. May w heat started at SI OO7, compared with $1 01X at the close of Monday's market; December at the fame time was quoted at 93J4C, compared with Sic when trading ceased jesterdty. One piece of news after another and many rumors came to band during the first hour, and prices fol lowed the direction of bear influences, going, ii'li regard to the bulls, from bad to worse np to about 12 o'clock. There were slight reactions during the break, bu. every advance olc or ic was apparently leing waited lor hj tbiise who had still more foi sale, and at the tune named the price of De cember was down to fll'ic, and of Jlav to P9c The reported failure ol another Wall street house, which had become loaded with com mercial paper w Inch could not be rediscounted, was looked upon as morn serious than a failure from depreciation in railway securities, show ing, as it did. the ex reiuc stringency in finan cial circles as hav.n:: in nowise abated, light money was a direct feature in the whole situa tion as seen in the difference at Duluili ie tween cash wheat and May, the former being quoted at SSJc and the latter SKM.,!-, tcprisint lng a carrying charge of 10c per bushel.

A rumor that Henry Clews, the well-known Wall sticct banker and operator, liftd tilled was the occas on of the last slump. Trading was verj active and at times exciting, and was evidently regarded by scalpers as a sale from first to last, and it wound up easy. 1 he corn market opened off about 'c from yesterdaj's closing figures ilay stamng at 55?gC compa ed with XJHc on the preceding alternoon. There wei e sales for a few moments at 52Te(S 55c. and then commenced an eager un loading of long stuff and an animated pounding b short sellers, which was kept up until the price of the May delivery had gotten down to 514c There ws a luely demand at the de cline from the short interest, which caused a reaction to cCc. Oats were taTly active but unsettled, being firmer and Qc higher for May early, but weakened in sjuipathj with wheat and corn, and under increased selling December declined ljc, hut reacted Jc and closed steady at a net los of ljc. Pork was brisk. Opening sales weroatTQ lflc decline, and tbo leeli'ig was weak during the greater portion of tne day, prices receding with frcnuent slight fluitr.ations o.y,Qo5s.

A BIG BODY OF LAND ATGLENW00D Upon Which to Erect a Eonndhonse, Ma chine Shops and Extensive lards. THE BOSTON BUILDER MAKES A START The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, after protracted efforts to acquire land at Glcn wood upon which to build a roundhouse, machine shops and other structures neces sary to the transaction of its Iargeandgrow iug business at that place, has at last ac complished its purpose, having just closed a deal for between 30 and 35 acres for $200, 000. The negotiations have been under way tor about a year.. The land adjoins that previously owned by the compauy at Gleowood, containing the roundhouse and yards, and is well adapted to the uses to which it will be put It formed part of the Blair estate, which is one of the most extensive in the Twenty third ward. The part purchased by the company fronts on both the railroad and theij alnnongahela river. Work on the proposed improvements will be gin next spring, if not sooner. The present roundhouse, which is totally inadequate to the demands of business, will not lie torn down, but enlarged, as will also thn machine shops. The yards will be extended and improved, so as to meet the requirements of traffic both now and for years to come. It is the intention of the company to make tbem as complete and convenient as any in the country. The price paid for the land, 5200,000, or about 16,600 an acre, while more than an individual would have been willing to pay, is considered reasonable, in view of its importance to the company, and in view, also, of the fact that railroads are nearly always compelled to pay outside prices. The deal is one of the largest that has taken place in Pittsburg for a long time, and is of great importance toGlenwood and tributary districts. No better evidence can be fonnd of the rapid growth of business in Pittsburg than the fact that the railroads Hud themselves hampered for room. The Pennsjlvania Railroad regrets that it did not secure more ground at East Liberty when it had the opportunity. The Baltimore and Ohio, wiser than its rival, has provided by its acquisition at Ulenwood for the Indefinite expansion of traffic over its lines, and thus, by anticipating a necessity Bure to arise, put itself in a position to keep step with the material advancement of the city. Advice to Land Owners. Pittsburg is so completely environed by eligible building locations, which are, or soon will be, within easy reach of the business quarter, that it is impossible to put up prices of real estate beyond a reasonable point and maintain them. On this subject a prominent broker said yesterday: "The increase in the value of property in some parts of the East End, and particularly along the Pennsylvania Railroad as far out as Wilkinsburg, is developing a good inquiry along the Port Wayne and Panhandle rail roads. This inquiry will broaden as means of communication aro Improved, for location as well as prices favor the movement. If East End owners desire to maintain the supremacy of their district in the estimation of buyers, they must moderate their views and not toss values bejond the reach of all except the at-J uueuu mi era uuve sui.il ii t.iuebv ui iuta- tions to select f rem that they cannot be coerced into pajitic extravagant prices." This is excellent advice and if owners act upon it they will not only advance their own interest by finding quicker sale for their property, but give a Irish impetus to real estate 111 general. The East End offers many and un-surpa-sed attractions to home-seekers, but there are those who are unable to pay extrava gantly for the privilege of lh ing there. The Boston Ulan at Work. The Boston gentleman referred to in this column yesterday as being in quest of ground upon which to erect a number of bouses, has made a good start by purchasing four large lots in the Baum Grove plan at Roup station. Ho will commence building as soon as the weather villi permit, and keep it up as long as he can find sale for his houses. He says they will be first class in every respect, and range in price from (4,000 10 S5,00a Put Down Flag Sidewalks. One of the most desirable reforms in re spect to the comfort nf the public and to the improvement of the city is the substitution of flagstone for brick sidewalks on all business streets. Storekeepers are willing to pay better rents for stores that have stone siden alks than for those which have brick. The latter become loose in tbc winter, squirt the water upon pedestrians, keep the show-windows dirty, and have a generally ragged and uninviting look. When property owners leant th it brick side walks in lront of a store are a drawback, they will put down the better sort. Fifth avenue extension from the Court Hou.e to Sobo would be greatly improved bv the reform above urged. "Business New and Gossip. It is rumored that the city has designs upon several properties adjoining Higbland Park, the enlargement of which is in contemplation. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad deal at Glenwood will give that place a boost. Owners of real estate in the East End should reflect upon what a broker says elsewhere in this column. It is good advice. Builders are doing all they can to head off the bad weather. Foundations for a number of dwellings nave been started witbiu the past few days. The petition for tearing up Penn avenue, Wilkinsburc, on account of objections to the slope of the pavement, will be met by a re monstrance. Any slope, or no slope at all, is preferable 10 living in mud another year. Several large deals in down-town property are approaching consummation. One broker has tw o on the string. Advices from Now York yesterday afternoon were to the effect that the financial situation there was improving. The tact that many persons believe the ma jority of local stocks have found bottom is shown by the number of buying orders coming out James W. Drape & Co. yesterday sold a share of the Homewood Driving Park Association at a figure verging on $1,250. w The Building Record. " The Building Inspector issued seven permits for 10 houses yesterday very good for a rainy day.

Business in local stocks was again active yes terday, each of tbe three calls being well at tended and buying- orders numerous. Free liquidation Imparted' a weak tone to the market, but ttils was offset by the general con viction that things had touched bottom, and that a change for the better was in sight. Nearly all tljo leaders were lower in sym pathy with tb. downward movement elsewhere, but there wero no bad breaks and no ground lost that cannot easily bo recovered. The greatest losses were sustained by Philadelphia Gas. Electric nnd Central Traction. Pleasant Vallev. Luste. and Manufacturers' Gas im proved their standing. There were no other material changes. Sales at the drst call were 60 shares of Phila delphia Gas al.23K. 10 Chartiers at 25, 35 Elec tric at 26 and 10 at 26K- Sales at second call were 170 Philadelphia Gas at 28, 20 Electric at 26 and 5 Pleasant Valley at 25.

The shrinkage in tbe volnme of business at tbe Stock Ex change, which was so marked yesterday, made further progress to-day, and the returning dull ness indicating that no material demand for stocks existed, induced more selling by tbe bears, and the tone of the market was weaker than it has been since Saturday morning, re sulting in many marked losses for the day. Tbe bears were more aggressive than usual on a market of tbe caliber displayed to-day, and there was a renewal nf the old tactics, of which spreading reports reflecting upon tbe financial standing of prominent firms lu tbe street was one of the favorites. 1 he monetary ritnatlon was one of the most influential factors, however. In restricting buy ing, and while money was mnch easier during the latter portion of tbe day its scarcity in the forenoon told severely against prices. It was reported that many banks to-day took ont Clearing House certificates, and tbe criticisms of these banks and tenders who were industri ously calling loans yesterday was most severe. 1 he relief came too late to have any material in fluence upon tbo market. It was also reported that there is a hitch in the Gould Union Pacific deal. Tbe report was followed by an attack upon Union Pacific stock. The foreign situation offered little consola tion this morning, and while early London prices were generally higher thau our figures of last evening, a weak and declining market was soon developed there, and the demand here, which comes principally from investors who pay for their securities outright there, was not a sufficient buying power lit the market to withstand the onslaught of the bears. The lat ter attacked Jersey Central and Pacific Mail and the former dropped 6 per cent lu a short time and tbe latter 5 per cent on very light trailing. One failure was announced in the forenoon and one in the afternoon, and while they bad much influence to lower prices, they acted as a further deterrent from buying, and in conjunc tion with the scarcity of money effectually ?uelled tbe resisting power of the market be ore noon. The attacks upon tbe stocks before mentioned were followed by pressure over all the whole list, while they yielded more or less the best prices of the forenoon, reaching as high as 4 per cent, with Lackawanna special. ly prominent in the drop. There were rumors of further trouble among tbe roads west of the Mississippi, and this af fected the Grangers to some extent; but those stocks were never very active, and tbelr move ments were comparatively small. The one strong point in the list was Distillers and Cat tle Feeders' Company, which scored a gain of about 2 per cent and held most of it at tbe close. Tbe unlisted department was unusually quiet, and the movements of those stocks were en tirely unworthy of notice. Rates for money on call went down to as low as 3 per cent at tbe close, but all the business had been done earlier at the higher rate;, and the concessions had not much effect upon prices. s. There was a slight rally in the last hour when Lackawanna rose 2 per cent, but the rest of tbe list failed to follow, and tbe close was active and rather heavy, generally at or near tbe lowest prices of the day. Tbe final chancel are all in the direction of lower figures, and Pa cific Mail is down 3X: Jersey Central, 5Ki HI sourl Pacific,3J4: Union Pacitlc2;Atchison.lJ4: St. Paul, 1; Burlington. 1: Louisville and Nashville.' 1: Erie, 1: Wheeling and Lake Erie, 1; Rock Island, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and Sr.Louis, and Western Union each 1 per cent, and others lractlonal amounts. Railroad bonds maintained about tbo same moderate volnme of business, and to-day the market showed a materially better tone than yesterday, although the final changes to-night show many material losses. Tbe sales of all issues reached $2,142,000. out of which Northern Pacific 5s contributed $103,000. There was a wide and even distribution of the rest of tbe business, and the changes in qnotations were not so marked as during the past few days. The active Issues generally displayed consider able strength bntonlv Iron Mountain scored any marKed advance, rising 24. to 87. The other changes are generally for losses. North western Consols are S lower, at 135K; Omaha Consols 2,at 117: Erie seconds 2. at 9 and Mo- bile and Ohio 4s 3, at 59. & The J?ost says: The money mlrket is in a much more demoralized and abnormal condi tion than the stock market. While-the New York and Boston banks have already adopted the use of Clearing House certificates, and Philadelphia banks are about to do tne same, thus relieving the strain for money in the dally settlements and enablin the banks to extend that much more aid to customers, if they desire to do so, money for call loans on stock collateral ran up toJ of 1 per cent per day yesterday afternoon ou the Stock Excbance. Whether this scarcity is to any extent due to the locking up of money by bear operators for effect on the stock market is difficult to sav. but probably It is not. ft is certain that the chief cause is tbe fact tbe banks do not offer their balances on tbe Stock Exchange as usual; they find' plenty of bor rowers outside, and wnue It is wen Known mat commission bouses, who are considered strong and have good Uses of acceptable stocks, get money at 6 per cent, others who are obliged to bid for it on the Stock Exchange must pay the exorbitant rates. This, of course, com pels many of them, as well as their customers, to sell tbelr stocks, and the liquidation of these depresses prices and reduces the value of tbe collaterals in other call luans. The followinK taole shows the prices or active stocks on the Mew YorL. stock, ixchance yister day.
