10 -THE PITTSBURG- ' DISPATCH TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1890. THE EEASON FOR IT. Good Cause for the Little Lull in General Business Affairs. TALK BETWEEN MAN AND WIFE. A Site Just rarchased on Liberty Street for a Six-Story Warehouse. THE SEWS A!vD GOSSIP-OP THE C1TI There is no better evidence that the jear just closing lias been a prosperous one than The fact the trade in holiday goods is un usually active. This shows that the people have money to spend without touching upon the little hoard laid by to meet the usual outlays. Bearing this iu mind, the slight depression in general trade should cause neither surprise nor apprehension, it is merely a momentary reaction from the high tpecd at which everything has bocu run during tbeear. People want rst and enj'ijnient, and tliey are bound to have tlicm. Business can nail. In the meantime conditions are improving all alons the line, Ji:d bj the time the New Year bells stop rinsing everjthinj: will beinship tliape for another reason of hustlinp. which mar break this j car's record as it broke that of last. Hverythinj; is favorable to a foil resumption of busines-s by the middle of Januan at farthest, for by that time the jcarlv settlements will have been concluded and the volume of avail able money so augmented as to remove all doubts of an abundant supply for an indefinite period. Tom and Ills 'Wire. "Well. Tom," said a wife to her husband the otherdav. "Are jou coins to buy that lot for me for a Cbri-troas gilt?" Tom studied a mm te and then said: "1 will lea e the matter entirely to j ou. If I buy the lot ou and the children will have to do without Christmas gifts, and you know that would be pretts hard for the children, who are expecting somethm. I can't buy both, lake 3 our choice." "Von put it in snch a wav as to make an an swer Quite eay," replied the wife. "The t'hddien must not be disappointed. We are li mg and working for them, and it would be cruel to deprive them of any reasonable pleas ure, especially on Chustinas. I can wait." "I'll tell jou what I propose to do," rejoined Tom "You kno our birthday come in April. Business piomies to bo so good next year that there will be plenty of work. I am certain that I can sateun enough with what I haeto put the deed in your hand as a birth da gift. Will that be satisfactory ?"' "Perfectly, perfectl." replied the wife. "And then we will begin to figure out how we can get a little house on It bj fall so as to be independent of landlord." Huw niau such conversations have taken place within the past few weeks it is impossible to tell, but it is safe to say the one narrated does not exhaust the list. The fact tbat the people consider Cbn-traas has the first claim upon their duty and pocketbooks explains the luil in real rotate; but it also holds out hope of revnal of business so soon as the holidays are over. Business Zvew s and Gossip. The two three-story stone buildings being erected by Timothj O'Leary. Jr.. on Fifth ave nue, Oakland, arc about ready for the roofers. As showing that people are not afraid to go into bume-$, Messrs.

Tliero is a Much More Settled Feeling in Financial Circles, and Brokers Are Not Looking for Increased Business Until After the First or the Year. New York, Dec 22. The stock market to day retained its purely holiday character, and business dragged slowly along with little feature There is now a much more settled feeling in financial circles. The supply of time moneyis Increasing, though Wall stieet brokers are not looking for an increase in business until after the 1st of January, but after tbat time large investments are expected both in bonds and stocks, and there is a ennhdent leclmg that London will in all probability be ready to again take hold of American securities. The market, outside of a few shares, was entirely devoid of feature to day, but as usual In the dullness, the profes sional and trading elements are beanshly in clined, aud the selling for the short account by those operators furnished the bulk of the busi ness and caued a downward tendency, which had theeffect of leaving must stocks fractionally lower than on baturday. Ihe Yanderbilts were the strong points in the list, many rumors in regard to the statement of the Lake bhore and the probability of an increased extra dividend stiffened up not onlv that stock but the other Vanderbilts as well. On the other hand, silver certificates were still lower, nfle-tingthedisbehef thatthe silver legislation w ill be passed. Sugir certifi cates were strong in the early dealings on the covering of a moderate short line, but sagged away later in the day, losing most of the gain. Reading became the strong feature toward the close, and adianced fractionally, but enough to lem e it material! higher than Saturday on the news of its acquirement of extensive terminals in Philadelphia. Thorc was consider able weakness in the grangers during the day, bt. Paul and Atchison being specially conspicuous at times, but in none was there a serious decline. The market for' the general list dragged along and finally it closed dull and steadv at fractional concessions from the opening figures which were slightly lower than those of .Saturdax. The only final changes of note were the advance of l"ac in Reading and the oecline of 3?c in Pacific Alail. which wa adversely affected by poor prospect of the shipping bills at present Railroad bonds were dull and presented as little feature as stocks, while ro pronounced tone could bo detected 111 the dealings. The business reached only t959, 000, and the final changes while nregular, are in lew cases of importance. Brookljn 'levaicd seconds however, lost 3 at 85, while St. Paul eight" rose 2 Xn 102; Northwestern consols, iii to 1T9!3, and Navigation firsts, 24 to 1CSK. Government bonds have iieen dull and stead. State bonds have been dull and steady. Petroleum, January notion advanced 2) in the eailrhonrson tome bujlng from tliu Vest.

The l'ost gaya: The supply of cotton bills in the exchange market has been increasing for a week past and they sold at $4 78 to-day. As. 111 accordance with other j ears, there are over 2,000,000 bales of cotton to be exported vet, which will make over $100.090,000 or exchange between now and next summer, and as the cot ton exports were retarded by the financial difficulties both here and in London in Novem ber, it is to be expected that it will go forward more freely from now en, and create an in creasing supply of exchange. A decline of J cents on the pound from present prices for cot ton bills will make it profitable to buy them to cover the imports of more gold, and it is not improbable that they will be down to that price before many days. The sum of $539,- j uw 01 iroiu came in on two steamers tnis morn ing. There is no such special emergency re quiring the importation of more just now as there was a week ago. apd if more comes it will be in the payment for cotton. If, iu addi tion to this, London becomes a buer of stocks the imports of gold will bo very large The following tahle snows the prices or active stocks on the .New York stock Lxchanne yester day.

Potatoes and apples are firm at quotations, notwithstanding they have reached the highest point for many years. The supply of poultry Is fair and demand is active for all tbat comes. There arc plenty of turkeys point ing in this direction, and traveling as fast as steam will bring them, but uo fears of a glut are cherished by dealers. It is very rare tbat the Christmas turkey trade is overdone in Pittsburg. With a continuance of present weather there will be a good demand for all offered. In general produce lines Monday's showing has been better than usual.

But Littlo Elasticity and No Buying That Showed Ally Underlying Confidence Wheat Sellers Occupied the Pit to the Exclusion of Buyers. CHICAGO The wheat pit was occupied by sellers at tho opening, to the exclusion of buy ers atpriccs prevailing when the market closed on Saturday. There wera offers to sell May wheat at 90c, and no buyer lifted his voice, al though some few transactions may have taken place .it'J'JJyC. Theselling impetus at the open ing carried tho price of May to 09c after a short preliminary struggle around 99iC. Tliero was a reaction to 99c after tho first dip. and for a timo there was enough buying against puts to prevent a further break, lasting until the first half hour of tho session had been parsed. The buying, which was influenced by the se curity afforded to the purchasers bv "the pos session of puts, not having advanced the mar ket above the opening price, the selling ures suro was instantly redoubled and a sharp de cline to99c took place. Thero was an ani mated trade on this break and heavy orders were executed 011 each side of the market. The selling still preponderating, tbo decline continued, and between long wheat being abandoned and further pres3nre from the shorts the prico was, after a hard struggle, forced down 10 9SXc. and for a long time there after the fighting ground was maintained around E9c. Fresh ground was broken about 12 o'clock. There was uo elasticity in tho market, and no buying on the break of sufficient account to give a token of any underlying confidence. The decline In the Insu 1 ce referred to carried tho firice of May to 98c. where numerous stop oss orders and buying orders appeared to have been struck simultaneously. There was a slight recovery from the last named price to 98JJc, but, as before, there was no spirit iu the bu ing throngli which this lesult was brought about, and the price slid off easily and rapidly as soon as the parties who wero operating on the bearside had satisfied themselves thatthe inherent heaviness of the market had been un relieved by the severe shaking out which had already taken place. Pardridge was a seller and Hutchinson was likewise on that side, while those who usually express their confidence in bigber prices for the futtiro showed in the freedom with which they dumped their holdings, but scant faith in the immediate outlook. The dead heaviness continued up to the last moment of the session, the lowest prico of the day was OSc, and that was made just as tbo closing bell separated the still operators. The tendency of the corn market was almost steadily downward from the commencement to tbo closing of business. There was no support, but on the contrary, so far as local trade ex pressed itself through the operations of the scalpers, the decline was assisted by an ap parent assent in the correctness of such a course. The opening prices of the May future was 53Jic ith one or two sales at 53Jgc which was an immediate drop below the price of puts. The opening nnce was the highest of the day, and the closing quotations, though not the ex treme lowest, were near enough to ha virtually so called. There were a few sales at 51c, while at the close 5IJc was bid. Heavier receipts in the near future and more favnrablo weather for grad ng were the changes in the situation which operated in favor of the change in sentiment from the previously prevailing steadiness. Ihe most remark ible change was in the De cember future, which from 52c at the close of Saturday'sma ket, had dropped to 49c in the comseol to-day's trading. All of the influences in the oats pit were bear ish. There was a prospect of heavv receipts. There was an Increase in the visible supplv, anil the slump in corn caused a break in Mav to 43c, against 44Jc at the opening. The pro vision market onened lairly steady on the smaller number of bugs reported at the yards than had been estimated. 'I here was an imme diate offering of such quantities of product, more! especially of pork, as caused the lat ter article to decline rapidlvfrom $11 00 for the Jlay nelivcrv to $10 82K. altera sale or two at the start at $11 O.'JJ Tne closing price shows a decline of 2c per barrel. Lard was weak, but the decline was only 2c. Ribs only suf fered to an equal extent with lard. Packers were the sellers for the most part and shorts the buyers.
