SANTA GLAUS GOODS.
Expressmen Forced to Put on Ad

Christmas Goods.
It would lie difficult to discover any
signs of a tight money market at the office
of the East End and 'Wjlkinsburg Express
Company on Seventh avenue. Such has
been the pressure of business for a few days
ttiat two teams were added to the 13 already
at work in delivering packages to the East
End. About 100 packages were delivered
yesterday for a single Fifth avenue firm
encaged in the Santa Claus trade. It is a
low estimate to say that 1,000 packages are
daily delivered by this company to East
End firms and stores, and yet the big rush
is to come as Christmas comes nearer. "With.
15 teams now engaged and the probability
of one or two more being required before tbe
week is out, it is plain that sou.e lines of busi
ness must li flourishing
The tov iirm that sent 100 packages to the
East End yesterday, no doubt sent as many
more to Allegheny and otner sections of the
citv, not to mention the surrounding towns and
cities which receive their supplies from Pitts
bun:. All signs point to a larger distribution
of Christmas presents here than ever before.
The recent check :o the jcar's prosperity
through financial stringency and decline of
stocks w ill not prevent an extraordinary trade
In Christmas goods.
In spite of the mil Calvinism and Presby-teriam.-in
of this section, the Chri-tmas holi
day has become the great festal day of the
rear, and whatever be the need ot economy,
Santa Claus is ture to have a lively deinaud tor
his goods. The time for economy comes, if it
must, after the stockings are nlled and the
ChriMmas tree is ornamented with things of
beauty.
Transgressors ays Hard.
it doesn't pay to violate law, even if the law
he obnoxious and unjust. The Pittsburg oleo
dealers bae recently tnaae this discovery to
their grief and loss. The Pcnnsjlvania law as
to imitations of butter has boen a stupendous
failure. Designed to protect rarmers and get
their votes, it has, from its incipiency, been an
utter failure. When six to eiclit carloads of
oleo are weekly sold in Pittsburg, it is evident
thit the law forbidding the sale in the State is
a failure. The countryman and consumcr.who
were s-upposed to be protected by the enactment,
are proved by results to have been sutlerers.
since country butter has been knocked out,and
the consumer has been forced to pay better
p-ices for that which is not from the cow.
Within the past year a syndicate comprising
four or five firms in this city joined together to
defeat the law. and have been handling from
six to eight loads ol oleomirgerine weekly for
months past with a comfortable profit. The
profits tn these firms have, at a low estimate,
been JlO.Oui per month. Some estimates place
the nrnhts at double that amount.
Within the past two weeks Uncle Sam's de
tectives have been looking up these
violations of law, and from latest
accounts the transgressors will be
only too glad to disgorge all their profits, if
ibis will save them f i om a w or.se calamity.
Said a Liberty street commission merchant
yesterday: "A government detective was in
my warenousca fen dais ago to ascertain if I
dejlt in butter imitations. I lias happy to tell
him that inj butter trade had left me, though
jt had been at a decrease of traue. A few
years ago iny butler trade was large: but
since oleo came in I have found no profit in
handling country butter and so have quit it
altogether. The average consumers seems sat
isfied with the imitations, and so not desiring
to be a law breaker I have retired from the
butter trade altogether."
It is rumored that a compromise has been
made between the Government representatives
and the oleo syndicate by which the principal
part of tbe profits is surrendered and further
prosecution ceases. It is understood that tho
Chicago manufacturers are to bear tbe losses,
according to agreement with dealers in their
contraband goods.
Two things have been demonstrated so far by
thR workings of the law.
first It has failed entirely in its purpose.
Hecoud Transgressors of the law have been
brought to see that it didn't pay.

Good Trade in Oats.
CHICAGO The wheat market needed out
side help to sustain it and received very little.
It flared up for about 20 minutes, then flickered
awhile and expired under the dollar mark for
tbe May deliery. The closing quotation was
SJ9Js with an easy tone, as against $1 O0 at the
close yesterday. The market opened weak and
ic lower than it closed esterday. There was
an advance m Jlay wheat from Jl 00J& at the
start to SI W.-i inside of the first 20 minutes,
and at that point Hutcninson turned to the
telling side and tbe flock followed. The price
held around 9tfJc and 1 00 during the last
half hour.
Ik Tbe com market was supported by the pur-
cnasps lor account ni iutcmusou. aiay opened
at 5c bill, with sales chiefly at 53c, and there
was a necdy advance to53Jc The prices onco
more worked back to about the opening quota
tions, and made an advance to about top prices
again near the close. Tbe highest price was
G3'C and the close was steady at 53Jc bid.
lnere was a good trade in oats, altnough the
volume of buMeess was lighter than j esterday.
Hutchinson and bibley supported the marker.
The provision market opened weaker on the
heavy recemts of hogs and the decline in their
prices, which was reported from ihe yards.

GOOD OUT OF TIL
The Liberty Street Fire Likely to
Benefit That Tlioronghfare.
PEOPEKTT OWNERS WAKING UP.
The Eeal Estate Easiness Active by Com
parison With Former Years.
A KEW WAI TO SETTLE AN ACC0D5T
It is an old saying that it's an ill wind
that blows nobody good. The outcome of
the Liberty street fire may be highly advan
tageous to that thoroughfare. The rebuild
ing or remodeling of all the old-time build
ings in that quarter of thecitv is only a
question of time. Business is increasing at
such a rate that better accommodations and
facilities for its transaction are imperatively
demanded. The buildings destroyed by the
fire will be replaced by others of modern de
sign, and this, it is believed, will stimulate
other owners to improve their proper
ties. In fact, several owners have already
expressed themselves to this effect.
The great fire at Chicago turned out to be
the best thing for that city that could have
happened, and it is permissible io say that
it is highly probablo the same favorable re
sult may proceed from tbe Liberty street con
flagration, wbicn at tbe time seemed to bave
no redeeming quality.
Only Taking In Sail.
Tbero is nothing remarkable in tbe fact tbat
real estate shows a lack of tbe aggressive force
and energy which characterized it during tbe
spring and fall months. This is tbe season of
tbe year for taking in sail in all lines of trade
preparatory to tbo annual reckoning, and real
estate Is no exception. But it sbould not be
argued from tins tbat it is flat on Its back.
Sales reported from day to day disprove this.
The fact i: that tbe market in comparison with
former years at tbe same season is decidedly
active.
The lull. If such it may be called, which has
settled down upon tbe real estate market. Is
not duo to want of confidence or diminished
demand, bnt to causes which havo affected, in
some degree, every other interest, and will be
of brief continuance. Real estate is so deeply
rooted in public necessity that it will always
maintain a high position among the other great
interests of Pittsburg.

A Collector Bluffed.
An Incident occurred a few days ago which
was a novelty in business matters. A merchant
who had closed up without liquidating for
goods purchased during his days of good credit
was stopped on tbe street by tbo salesman of
the house from whom be purchased, and a re
quest made to settle. He stated he could not.
"Well, why don't you say you never will pay itT
That is what you meant" exclaimed tbe col
lector, in a lond and angry tone. The debtor
colored, and his fingers worked nervously.
"Look here," be said: "you sold metbose goods
and your bouse sbonld havo their pay, and I ac
knowledge yon bave some personal griovance as
salesman, and, wbile I have not the money. I
can at least satisfy your personal trouble. You
size up pretty well physically, and so do I; sup
pose we step down to the river and take it out
there." This was a new way ot liquidating. Tbe
talesman declined with thanks, and lett the
debtor master of the situation.

HOKE SECURITIES.
The Market Laboring Under a Spell of
Weakness Brokers Disappointed.
The weakness of the local stock market yes
terday afternoon was a disappointment to
many who expected a different course from tho
improved condition of -financial affairs and tbe
buoyant feeling of tbe previous day.
Tbe opening was .about .the same as tbe pre
vious close, and prices were well sustained
until tbe last call, when concessions wore made
covering tho majority of tbe active list.
The leaders In the decline were Philadelphia
Gas, which went off nearly a point. Electric,
which broke almost as much. Chartlers Valley
Gas, and Pleasant Valley. Tbo only gains
were Luster and Switch and Signal.
The depression was attributed to a disposi
tion to withhold buying orders, and not to any
change tor the worse in conditions. There was
no pressure to sell, showing tbat holders were
not reduced to the necessity ot making un
necessary sacrifices.

MONEY MAEKaT.
A Bank Officer Looks. Forward to Easy Sail
ing Tho Worst Over.
As stowing that a feeling of confidence is up
permost in financial circles, a bank officer said
yesterday: "From the tenor ot my advlcts ,
from the principal business centers, I am satis
fied tbat tbe storm has blown over, and that we
will have easy sailing from now. on. Money is
returning to the Ea(,t from the AVest and
South, where i bad Deen sent to move the
crops; gold is coming from London, the Secre
tary of the Treasury is releasing a large
amount ot funds, and Congress shows a disposi
tion to afford all the necessary assistance to tho
business interests of the country. Besides, the
January aisbursementti will add some 130,000.000
to the amount of available cash. These consid
erations induce me to think tbat tho outlook is
favorable fur easy money and an active move
ment in all lines of business.."
There was a good business demand for loans
yesterday, and accommodations were freely ex
tended on the usual basis ot 6Q7 per cent, ac
cording to time. Bank clearing were SL972,
018 77, a trifle below the $2,000,000 mark, which,
if it bad not been so'rare this ear, would at
tract no attention. The balances were 272,
659 87. Depositing was liberal, showing tbat
general trade is proceeding as usual. Christ
mas purchases are bringing conslderablemoncy
out of domestic receptacles and distributing it
where it will ultimately benefit everybody.
Money on call at New York yesterday was
eay, ranging from 2J to 4 per cent, last loan

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Stock Market Lower on Account of the Ac
tion of the Foreigners Money Rapidly
Getting Back to Its Normal
-Condition.
New York, Dec. 1U. The London market
was lower this morning principally, so far as
any interests on this side are affected. There
were rumors of a withdrawal of gold from Lon
don by both tbe Bank of Berlin and the Bank of
France, all of wbirh made the forcignerssellers
at the opening this morning. Domestic opera
tors were also sellers of stocks bought in the
expectation that the announcement of tbo re
sult of the Presidents' meeting would create a
boom in securities, and as all wanted to sell at
once and the market seemed utterly devoid of
support, prices yiolded easily, and the day was
one of continuous decline from the opening to
tbe close.
Many stop orders were uncovered and cov
ered; tho narrowness of tbe market was still
its most conspicuous feature, and dullness
marked the trading during most of the after
noon. Tbe downward movement made fair
progress and .the losses at tbe lov est prices ex
tended to about 3 per cent. Lackawanna was
tbe only stock tbat gave evidence of any sup
port at all, and tbat for only a short timo in
the afternoon. Tbe close was steady atter a
slight rally from the lowest figures.
Tbe final losses are materia! among the ac
tive stocks, and Burlington and Union Pacific
arc each down 2 per cent: Louisville aud
Nashville. 2; Rock Island, 2K: Atchison, St.
Paul and -Missouri Pacific, each 2: Canada
Southern and Pacific Mail, each J: Nonp
western. 154; Northern Pacific preferred, 1;
New England, V, Chiqago Gas, 1; aud others,
fractional amounts
Railroad bonds were more quiet than usual,
tho sales reaching only Sl.07y.OW). but did not
sympathize with tbe weakness in shares. The
nnai cnanges aro uveuiy uiviueu uciween
gains and losses,
Tbe I'ost says: Tbo selling of stocks for
London account also strengthened tbe Ex
change market here, and, as at present rates
there is nnjirofit 111 the importation of gold.it
is not expected tbat any further amounts will
come, at least for the present. So tar as the
money market here is concerned, it is rapidly
cettiug back to a normal condition. Wu bear
of a number of time loans made to-day on
stock collaterals for GO days, and some for six
months at IS per cent.
