-f THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1890. AS-TO TEAS AND SALT. The Upward Movement of Tea Has Keen Arrested and Prices DRIFTING BACK TO THE OLD LEVEL. Pittsburg Salt Manufacturers Going From Gas to Coal. THANKSGIVING TDKKET IX DEMASD. OrncE or Pittsbtjkg Dispatch, J 'J Cesdat. November 25. 1S9Q. ( Tea on the Decline. In the early autumn teas advanced sharp ly, particularly those of a low- grade. Some grades advanced as much as 6c per pound. The upward movement was due largely to speculative influences. Speculators made the most of the increase in value of silver exchange The higher grades of tea were t-ligluly affected bv the advance. The recent financial flurry has upset calculations of speculators and jobbers here are now able to buy their teas at a very slight advance on lowest prices of last summer, when prices were unusually low. Present price ol teas vanes very little from rates of this time a year ngo. The ci op tins season is a full average, both in quantitj and quality. There are no rcpoiu of shortage from any of the tea-producing countries. Within the next month all the tea crops of this season will be cured, and from present indications the yield will beafullaictase. The products of India and all the British possessions arc received through London. When the McKiuley tariff bill was before Coi'grc. iiupoilen. of Japan and China teas made .1 trong cflort to have a duty of 10 per cent ad valorem placed on India teas, bnt the elfoit proved abortive. Working on the fear that this move would prove success ful, speculators ruaraged for a time to stiffen prices. But dealers who banked on theaavauce were doomed to disappointment, since prices are now down to almost their lowest price for this ear. baid one of our leading dealers whose trade Is confined eiclusivcly to tea: "! recently bought a et) large qu.In;itv of India teas in Nen York at prices as low almost as prevailed before the advjucc ol last August. 'Ihere was allttle advance in high grade teas, and the ad vance in Ion crades is now almost wiped out. Pittsburg's tea trade calls for more varieties than any city on the continent, owing to the great variety ot our population. The Irish and Welsh are great consumers ot the plant that ceeers hat not luehnales, as we have a large population ol races in Pittsburg and suiround inc countrj. the consumption is very large. The regular jobbing tea trade ot this city is not tar fioi.i l.oU0,U0u pounds annually. In au (liimn tu this there are a number of companies here vlneli represent Eastern hrnis. Pitts burg's jobbing tea trade extends as far east as Altoona and Cumberland, and asfarwestas Columbus. Through tins territory ne have no longer, as in former years, any serious compe tition outside of cw York and Philadelphia firms." The Salt Industry. The salt mannlactnrers of Pittsburg and Allegheny, with one exception have recently abandoned natural gas and gone back to coal. The change has curtailed output, and it de mand had been as brisk as it boinetimss is a: this season, it would have been impossible to till orders. The condition of country roads through Pittsburg's bailiwick for the past month has made it next to impossible to deliver goods to country stores off the luie ot railroads. 1 he time lor cnauging fiom natural gas io cual has. therefore, been propitious. Demand lor salt cannot very much decline. Not less than three-quarters of a million barrels are called for tiom Pjttsburg manufacturers, and a sJack time, such as e have been having for a few weeks past, only means heavier demauds later on. Population is steadidly increasing, and this means more need of sfasoninsr. In addiuon- to the ordinary demands, tlie steel aud class man ufactories have ot late jears found that salt is a vcrv important factor in producing the results alined at. suit has long been an important ingredient in glass mauufaciure, and itis becoming more and more a valuable ingredient m tuo manu facture of steel and iron. ThauKsgii ing Turkey. As an illustration of the growing disposition of Americans to give thanks over turkei, a representative or the East Liberty Express Company i-eported that four wagon loads of live turkejs aerc delivered by this company on Monday, to East End families and stores. Tue total was abme 3u0 head. ith Tuesday and " edncsday still tu hear from it is evident that this season will show w ell in the East End as to Thanksgiving, hateer may be the ups and dnwes ol -tocks and banks, the Amcric.in bird will do full duty on the last Thursday of No vember in this section. MARKETS BY WIBE. Wheat Actiie, Eitel and Lower A Rally 31al.es lrice Fractionally Better Than the Lowest or the Day Oats and Proi isions Down. CHICAGO Great irregularity characterized the fluctuations of the wheat market to-day. Wheat averaged from firm to strong early, but toward the close it weakened and left off at a decliue of J.jc troin e-terday's closing figures. Corn was cay toward the close after again touching high watermark; it closed founder j esterdaj's prices. Oat made a slight advance and provisions were dull and loner. There was a general feeling among the local speculators previous to the opening that wheat Mas a sale. That cnmion wa based upon news of a depressing character, but simply because since 1'nd.iy last, theic will be an advance of GJc tier bushel. Frequently a rise so sudden and material is an irresistable temptation to those having bought near the bottom to accept the good fortune so quicklj placed within their rcacn. and enough selling usually takes place in such cases to cause the reaction which was expected to materialize to-day. The news was certainly indicative of strength, rather than weakness, in the situation. The mixed charac ter of the news was immediately leflectedin the course of the market. The nrici-s were irregular, Mav wheat sellincfrom SI 02K1 tt with a lew bales at $1 ffijg at the same time. There was an immediate decline to SI 01, and this for the time being was the utmost extent to which the reactionary theorists aeemed it prudent to indorse their opiniou. After an ad vance to El u$i there was another slump to SI 01!;;. The second decline was caused by the report of the closing ol the Exchange at Buenos Are-, owing to the dcmoralizition of the finances there and an advance of 2a per cent in the gold picmium. There was another gradual recoiery, and tLe price had worked up to 1 0ii4, when a telegram was received from 31inneapolis quotiug cash wheat as selling there at ")C compared with 82c on Thursday last, upon the showing around or which mes tase the price shot up at once to Jl C3. There was still another such rise in store: this time in favor of the short sellers on grain the price dropping very suddenly to $1 01. These changes were crowded into the first half of the session, and about 12 e'eiock the price had again recovered to SI ft.. The December de livery was difficult to trade in. a seller having as a rule to keep offering it down Jc below the usual spread, and a buyer, on the other band, had to bid it up about Vic before finding cus tomers. The failure of an important cotton hou-e do ing business at Memphis, New Oilcans and New Y'ork was reported shortly after noun. The bull ammunition had been "all expended previous to this tune and the bears picked up the profits in their scalping trades and retired satisfied with thecnlicatiou of the predictions they had made before the opening. One or the influences tending to the weakness In the last hour was the report that the shipments from Jtussiau and other ports last week were 2,050, OuO bushels. The trading was very heavy and some big bears worked tooth and nail to get the price down. Ream. Cudahj and Linn were disposed to bve sold ver heavy on every hard spot, and Hutchinson was buying openly In small lots and selling in wholesale parcels through tirokers. Closing prices were fie over the low est prices of the day. The corn market was fairly active, and dur ing the greater portion of the day it was strong and higher. There was considerable nervous ness in the trading and the fluctuations ap peared governed In a great measure by the changes In the price ot wheal. The opening price for Mav could not bo exactly deteruiined except bv striking au average, which was taken as being 5jJc The range in the pit at the moment ot starting was Iroin5oictoo5jc- jt advanced to 56c and December ended to 53Jic at one time, but very little was sold under Soc until near the end ot the session. There were sellers at 55c as trading ceased. Oats wrre mouerately active, but wlthont features of importance. After opening c higher, prices advanced c, receded Jc. but a"ain rallied Jc. The weakness and decline in nnmr grains and fair selling price advance of C and the market closed quiet at about in side figures. Pork Rather an acive trade was reported and prices fluctuated considerably within a moderate range. Prires ruled 7"0c higher. Later there was a little more pressure to sell, and prices gradually declined L!)15a Market closed quiet. Lard A moderately active trade was 're ported aud prices fluctuated considerably within a small range. Early prices ruled rather steady, but during the latter part of the session an easier feeling was manirested and prices receded 2J5c, and closed comparatively steady. Short Ribs Trading was moderately active. Early in the dnv the feelinc was steadier and prices ruled 2J4f5c higher. Later prices gradu ally receded os$c, and the market closed quiet.

People Who Show Confidence in Busi ness by Helping It AlonR. A TBYIXG TIME fOR WILDCATS. Speculative Commodities Down to Bed-nock on Account of Tight Uoner. THE HEWS iND GOSSIP OP THE CITl' That moneyed men hare faith in the con tinued prosperity and progress of Pittsburg is shown by the large investments they are making in various branches 01 trade. They know the people are not speculating, but transforming natural products into shapes and forms which render them absolutely in dispensable to civilized man. Railroad compauies are not apt to be de ceived in business matters. They take no important step without good reason lor it. That they have confidence in the stability and expansion of the business interests of the city is clearly shown by the prepara tions they are making to handle a volume of traffic much larger than their present ca pacity. They are enlarging their yards, building new freight houses, improving their roadbeds, adopting improved methods for running trains so as to reduce time and ex pense to a minimum, and adding largely to their rolling stock. They would not do this if they5 thought there were breakers ahead. But confidence in the uninterrupted develop ment of the city is not restricted to any par ticular class of business men. They all share it and show it. Occasionally an Individual or a firm may get into trouble as the result of having ton many irons in the fire, or of attempt ing to do a large business on a small capital, or of operating on borrowed money, and there is no inherent weakness In any of the local ac tivities, and where business methods are pur sued profitable results may confidently be de pended upon. It should be remembered also, as furnishing an explanation for much of the pessimistic talk and feeling of the past few weeks, that the end of the year Is almost in sight, when business must be evened up and balances s:rnck. This is alnays a trying period. It brings weak spots to light. Concerns which seemed toflyhign when thb year was young, but uere really oper ating on wind, are brought up ith a sudden turn when required to square up at tho end of the last quarter. To ascribe these fatalities to business depression, and arguo thence that everything is going to pieces is neither jnst nor reasonable. Tney are speculative ventures in which the promoters had nothing to lose and everything to gain. The success of some enter prises would be far more surprising than their failure. While this is a time to watch every step and guard every point, to make assurance doubly sure, nothing can be gained by indulging dolor ous forebodings of imaginary disasters. At the ba'tle of Trafalgar Lord Nelson signaled to bis fleet: "England expects every man to do his duty." If every member of this commu nity will do this there will be no serious trouble. It will be time to talk about a panic when it comes. Ilusiness News and Gossip. To-morrow being a legal holiday, the banks and Exchange will be closed. Several important improvements on Wash ington street are on tbn slate for next spring. There can be no panic in small dwelling houses. The only fear is that the demand for them will be greater than the supply for years to come. It was learned yesterday that the recent talk about the sale of St. Peter's Church property was the old story in a new shape. The use of the name of a prominent politician In this con nection was without authority. The Cyclorama building will be offered at public sale on Wednesday of next week. Wilkinsbnrg will be out of the mud in a few weeks. Wood street is ready for the pave ment. It is among the probabilities that East Lib erty will have a market house next year. SeT. eral gentlemen are working up the project, and think they will succecu. The IUsher property, corner of Water and Ferry streets, was Fold through the agency of Henry A. Weaver 4 Co. David Whitmyrc. J. G. KUusc, K. D. El wood, J. W. Smith. Georce Whltmyro. C. K. Klopfer and H. C. Emmcrtirg have applied for a charter for tbe Iron City MillingCompany for the manufacture of flour and feed. The annual meeting of the Second Avenue Passenger Railway Company will be held on Monday next. The most important mortgage on file yester day was for S16.O0O. There were S3 in all. of which 13 were for purchase money. There was no special uuhappincss among busi ness men on the local Wall street yesterday. They all expressed confidence that things would be in ship-shape In a few days. A choice piece ot property, corner of Third street and Penn avenue, will ue put under the hammer at 2 o'clock thii afternoon. The Building Kecord. The financial scare has not disturbed the builders to any perceptible extent. Ten per mits for 14 good houses were taken out yester day. The list follows: W.C.

The final step in the Baltimore and Ohio deal at Glcnwood was taken yesterday. The papers were Dassed and the transaction con summated. The sale was made through the agency of Samuel W. Black & Co. The quan tity of land purchased was SS acres, and the exact price paid was $258,371 80, or $6,600 an acre. As stated In THE DISPATCH, tbe ground will be utilized for jards. shops and other pur poses connected with the road. This purchase reduces the amount of ground available to the public lor dwellings and factories, aud cannot but have a beneficial effect upon other proper ties in that vicinity. Considerable property is changing hands on the Southside. A deal was closed yesterday for a block of tenement houses and lot 150x100. for $30,000. The purchaser withholds particu lars until the deed passes. Henry A. Weaver fc Co. old the Robe Hill farm in Chartiers township, 140 acres and im provements, for $7,250. C.

A further break in Philadelphia Gas at tbe last call was the feature of yesterday's stock trading.

There was a more confident feeling in local financial circles, yesterday, than for a week or two, and although money was close, practically beyond the reach of outsiders, the regular trade was promptly supplied on the usual terms, 67 per cent. The business of the Clearing-House was again large, the exchanges footing up $2,793, 783 58 and the balances $311,192 26. -These figures are not manufactured for tbe purpose of misleading tbe -public, but are authentic, aud show a healthy condition of general trade. Advices from London were more reassuring. Americans were strong and advancing at the close, and even Argentines wero steadier. The money market was easier than for several days.

Tho stock mar ket to-day was less active than usual of late and there was a reaction of material propor tions all along tbe line. Manv evidently felt that tbe pace of the improvement In values of late has been too rapid, and were prepared to take profits already accepted, while tbe same sentiment gave the bears courage to again try tbeir bands. The London market reports sbowed that there was an abundance of money at low rates there, and the market for Ameri can stocks was reported to be higher, but tbe news from South America was not so encour aging, tho premium on gold in the Argentine being up to a very high figure again. and that was expected to be the possible cause of a decline upon this country for gold to supply the want b v England. There w as a decided w eakness'In sugar on the decision yesterday, and these causes operated with tbo fact that day after to-morrow will be a holiday, which iuduces liquidation on both sides ot tho account, to cause a recession in values for the time being. Tho opening was irregular, as usual, and the early trading even developed some strength, especially in tbe grangers, after tbe first de cline. There was a marked absence of the sun port which has kept tbe market going on the up tack of late, aud the loan crowd developed the fact that there bad been a material reduc tion in tbe outstanding short interest, aud the early demand being satisfied, the pressure to sell soon started the market upon the down ward direction. The hears and traders ham mered the list quite impartially, and every thing on the list soon showed tbe effects of the operations for a decline. The after noon witnessed a general drop ail around, and while Rock Island and some of the others showed a stubborn resistance to the pressure, they all succumbed after a while and joined the downward movement in earn est and lost not only all the early improvement, but something in addition. St. Paul, Union Pacific and Atchison led the list in activity, but Jersey Central and Missouri Pacific dis played most weakness, while the low-priced specialties, which of late have been leaders in the downward movement, were to-day very well held. The decline received no check and the final prices are In most cases tbe lowest of the day, the market closing weak and active. As usual after reactions, a broader market may be looked for, and it is likely that tbe an nouncement of a change in management in Union Pacific, which is expected to-morrow, will be used to start the market again. Tbe Gould party left this city this afternoon to be present at tbe Union Pacific meeting to be held in Boston to morrow. Wall street begins to again attract attention as offering the best opportunity for both investment and speculation, and tbe ease with which prices have been advanced shows that a large amount of securities bave been taken from the street dnrlng tbe recent decline in prices. Tbe final clianges to-day are almost all in the direction of lower figures. Sugar is down 4?i, Jersey Central 23, Missouri Pacific 2. Chicago Gas, Burlington and Lackawanna each li, C. C.

Northern Pa cific preferred, Reading and Richmond and West Point each 1, while the others lost only fractional amounts. Railroad bonds were quieter, but the number of issues traded In exceeded those of any day for tbe same time, while the market failed to respond in any manner to the weakness of the share list. There was a firm tone throughout tbe session, and while the final advances are not large, they are general and important. The sales of all issues reached $1,618,000, with such Issues as tbe Northern Pacific as, tbe Texas Pacific incomes, the Kansas and Texas 4s, aud the Atchison incomes specially prominent. Among the advances were Northwestern con sols, 2 to 1. Government bonds bave been dull and steadytto firm. State bonds have been dnll and featureless. The -Post says: It is known that for some time persons going to Europe have taken United States Treasury gold certificates Instead ot bills of exchange for traveling purposes. They fijid that these cer tificates circulate about as freely as Bank of England notes, in many parts of Europe. This known fact makes it a reasonable suggestion that in the etnergenciesof the last few weeks mncb larger amounts of gold certificates bave gone abroad than ever before, and that this may have helped to keep tbe rates of exchange down and to at least defer tbe export of gold. For tbe purposes of bank reserves the United States Treasury gold certificates are just as good as the metal itself, because. tho actual amount of the gold itself is held against every certificate issued. Tbe certificate Is to all in tents merely a warehouse receipt for tbe metal which is deliverable on demand, and in tbe present scarcity of gold in Europe, it is not im possible that thev might temporarily be re garded as such.
