Shoo Uppers.
It is not generally known that Pittsburg
has the largest shoe upper manufactory iu
the United States. In the building from
which The Dispatch is daily sent forth
to furnish the world's news to a quarter
million of readers, there are over 100 per
sons, mostly girls and women, employed in
the manufacture of shoe uppers, buff slip
pers and wool boots. An interview with the
foreman of this establishment yesterday de
t eloped some facts of interest vhich are here
jotted down. About 7j girls fina employ
ment in the manufacture of shoe uppers,
and the employment is steady and has been
for a year or two past.
A year ago the trade in buff slippers only
called for a half year's work, while at this
time there is Cwork plenty for all the
j car round. The present output of
butt slipers is 250 to 500 pairs
daily.'and with this output it is difficult
to fill orders. The weekly output of shoe up
pers is about 1.000 pairs, and still tbe factory is
lull three months behind orders and bas been
nearlj all tbe past year. There are orders on
the books for delivery next summer. Pittsburg
shoe uppers arc sent to Boston, the head center
til the leather trade in America, to Pacific
slope and Canada and to all intervciu c points.
Tbe Trench callsin sti. has the lead m the
shoe upper mdui f ' . American stock is
steadily gaining as of the latter is lm
proung. The met-, o. shoemaking have
been almost revoluf -izcd in ihe past decade.
In the good old times the shoemaker made
everj thing. ow the uppers arc generally pre
pared bj the large manufacturer, and the shoe
maker's trade is maml to fit and fasten on the
s..ie. Through etoluiion and improvement in
machn.erv a large part of tbe old-time shoe
maker's occupation is gone.
Hardware Trade.
The season is here when this, and in fact all
jobjung trades, are at their quieted The near
approach of annnal payda. together with the
late stringency of the money market, causes re
tail dealers to long only for immediate wants.
There is at this time the customary ante-holiday
lull in lines of general hardware.
Trade, however, shons up as well as last j car,
notwithstanding financial stringency, and al
ready orders are placed for soring goods, show
ing the faith of retail dealers that we are now
now n to bardpan, and that aoy future changes
must be toward a nigher IeeL Ordeis for
bar esting machinery aim wire goods are being
placed in tbe faith ot better prices the coming
reason. In many lines ot hardware tbe margin
to the manufacturer has been closer tbe past
eacOIl than for many years. In fact, it is a
matter of doubt as to whether there fias been
any probt at all in many lines. Volume of
trade bas shown no large in the year cast, but
piofits have been light. A leading jobber said
yesterdav. "Our sales this jrar were 25 per
ivnt larger than last j ear. but it it is doubtful
if we made as much money. The only salva
tion of tiade these dats is in pushing thu,g.
The smaller tbe margin the greater the
necessity of driving trade and handling
large tock. No loncer can the business man
wait for trade to come to him. He must go for
rrade, or he will very soon be left in the rear.
The ear now Hearing its end has not been a
good one for the manufacturer of iron and
steel finished products, and many will no doubt
be glad to come out c en when balance sheets
arestiuck. And whether or not the deilcr
mmr out ahead in tbe year's operations will
largely depend on tbe amount of goods
handled."
MAKKETS BY WIRE.
The Carrying Charges an Anomalous Fea
ture in Wheat Declines in Corn, Oats
and VrotlMons Local Scalpers Again
Depress the Price of Corn.
CHICAGO The wheat market put on an
appearance of more steadiness at the begin
ning to-day, inoed thereto bv a decrease of
50,000,000 barrels in the amount of wheat on
passage. The Liverpool market was quoted
easier at Jd decline, but Jlcerbohin reported
the cargo trade good and lceling strong. The
carrying charges are a most anomalous feature
of the business at present. Hero December
and May keen about 9 cent apart; at Mil
waukee the spread is about 6 cent; at St. Louis
it is i cent; at Toledo 5 cent, and the December
andMaydcliver.es were to-day being sold in
Sew York at the same price. The spread at
Minneapolis is about 7 cent and at Duluth9
cent.
The opening price was S,i cent, ana trading
for some time after the start was light and tbe
fluctuations narrow, ranging from SSoentto
ycj cent. It was not until near 12 o'clock that
thebulls lost all hope of a rally and that busi
ness began to increase in volume. The decline
was nut stopped until the price bad declined to
IT cent, or li.c lower than jesterda's closing
Ji'iires. At the close the trading was at 97Ja
97 cent.
Hie corn market was again left to the tender
mciciesof the local scalpers, who arc bearish,
and in consequence prices declined. There
weie selling orders lrom St. Louis. The first
suppoitgnen to values' came from the buying
against puts, from which cause there was a
temporary reaction, hi t it was not of long con
tinuanetflhemactint; m the demand lor cash
corn was the nrmcipal depressing influence.
rso.Scorn was sold for January deliver at 4k,
and So. 2 as nominally worth 4Sc early to4Sc
at the close. May corn opened at olJhc declined
to olJc recovered to rilKff-JlJsC. declined once
uioic'gctting down to os6c before there was
mucUicaction.
Oats snlleicd a further decline. and closed
c loner than on tbe previous day. The inai
ket attracted a larger number of traders and
showed rather more than tbe usual amount of
business. First sties ot May were at a decline
of Kc, tbe priee being 43jC. An advance fol
lowed to USlliffje. llien the price declined to
E"Jc hut hardeneu to 43)GloJic bid on the
Uum December and January remained dull
and inactive.
The p'oviion market was fairly active at
times, bat prices were again lower, nackers nn
both siues ol the market buying fanly aLd sell
ing later. The lard and ribs deals were nar
iow and dull. The fluctuations weie con
lined to about 2c, but tbe feeling was heavy
and tbe tendency downward. The actual de
cline in price to-day was slight.

riexiblo Curry Comb.
The currying of a thin-skinned horse is
often an operation as trying to the temper of
the groom as to the hide of the animal, and
a considerable amount of practical philan
thropy is embodied in such inventions as a
flexible curry comb, which has recently
made its appearance. This comb has a
leather back and teeth made of coppered
wire. The points ol the teeth are rounded
and flexible, and thus, while effectually
cleaning the skin, they obviate the excessive
irritation suffered by many horses. It is
claimed that by this construction all tbe
good points of the softest rubber combs and
those made -with sharp teeth are combined,
and thus one comb will take the place of
two.

Inquiries From Outsiders Wanting to
Locate in Pittsburg
EECEIYED BY ALMOST EVER! MAIL
A Picture of the Scwickley Taller Drawn
in a Clergyman's Study.
TUB MEWS A1.D GOSSIP OP THE C1TI
It is a fact that cannot be repeated too
often that Pittsburg would increase in pop
ulation and wealth much faster if outsiders
who want to locate here could be housed.
Additional proof of this has just come to
hand. The first mail received by Messrs.
Black & Baird yesterday contained in
quiries for stores and dwellings from Cin
cinnati, Louisville, "Wheeling, Cleveland
and New York. That front Cincinuati a
fair example of the rest reads: "Wo want you
to secure for us a good storeroom, as wo are
anxious to locate in Pittsburg."'
These inquiries are but a few of tbe many of
the same purport received daily. That these
people cannot be promptly accommodated does
not speak well for the foresight and enterprise
ot local capitalists, builders and owners. To
redeem their credit and give tbe city a chance
to expand, they should take immediate step
to supply the demand for business stands and
dwellings.
Each or the letters received by Messrs. Black
fc Baird referred to THE DlsrATCH as the
paper from which they obtained their informa
tion in regard to the prosperous condition of
Pittsburg.
The Sewickley Valley.
Rev. A. M. Campbell, in his handbook of the
Sewickley Valley, mentioned yesterday, says:
"This valley lies along the Ohio river, a few
miles below Pittsburg. It can bo said to oeein
just below Hajsville and extend at least across
Big Sewickley Creek, or to Economy, th&homo
of an industrious, peaceable and enterprising
German communal society.
"In the summer timo tbe drives down the
valley are very fine. Ihey run along banks. In
broad wajs, through avenues of trees, under
overhanging oaks, elms and walnuts, beside
flower yards and stono walls crowned with
honejsuckles. past residences of extensive pro
portions and elegant appointments. In sum
mer evenings the drives are used by vehicles of
almost every sort, and wheelmen find their
hearts' desire.
"In the dajtime Sawickley Valley is quiet It
is a land of commuters.. There is some stir,
but it is little for the population. -There is no
factory lifo here. There are no mills. It is not
a place of indnstrial activity. But it is a valley
of home, elegant homes, restful homes, with
plenty of room, having all the accommodations
of the city with the quiet ot the country.
"Scwickley is the chief boint in the valley.
It is tbe largest town between Allegheny and
Rochester. Rapid improvement is being made
and builders are busr. The houses erected in
these days are mostly ot a tasty and substan
tial sort Broad lawn", flower gardens, and
glass houses are common. Sewickley streets
are mosily linel vvitli trees. The. pavements
are and must be of smooth stone, bruit, or as
phaltum, with a grassy margin next the curb."
Business News and Gossip.
There are 13 bouses in course of erection in
Baum's Grove. None of them will costless
than $4,000.
The statement that the Kasino Mus-inm
property was sold a few months ago for $5,500 a
foot is incorrect An option was taken on it at
that figure, but the sale was not made. This
leaves the price received for tbo Tradesmen's
Bank property, $4,400 a foot the highest ever
realized for real estate in Pittsburg.
An addition is being built to the Cambria
Club House at Johnstown at a cost of $15,000.
A business block is going up on Main street
same place, that will cost $23,000.
Seventeen of 26 mortgages on file yesterday
were lor purchase money. The largest was for
$12,000.
The poor ye have alwavs with yon." They
should not be forgotten this bappy Christmas
season and the will not be, for Pittsburg is
behind no city in ber charities
To-morrow being Chrftmas "the gladdest
davof all the year" the banks and Exchange
will be clesed.
There is no lack of inquiry for real estate, bet
it is difficult to close sales on account of the
nearness of the holidays. This .obstacle will
soon be ont of the way.
The Schenley estate is covered by abont 1.200
leaseholds, lesstban one-tenth of winch expire
next April, and a majority of theso will be re
newed. A Philadelphia telegram received yesterdav
says Barker Bro- & Co. will probably resume
business soon. Tho paper granting the firm
one year's extension has been circulated
among the creditors and all have signed it.
V. W. Chaplin will mot likely be elected
Secretary and Manager of the Exchange Clear

Barbour will be missed.

HOME 3ECTTEIT1ES,
Stock Trading Drops to Zero, but Values
Show Little Change.
Stock trading was on a holiday basis jester
day, sales being cut down to 40 shares. No
one was anxious to buy, and thero vras no pres
sure to sell. It vras a standoff between the two
factions.
That a weak feeling should bo uppermost
under such circumstances was quite natural.
But this was more noticeable on tbo floor than
on the board, figures being practically the same
as those of the previous clne. Such conces
sions as were made were for small f tactions.
Things are so cheap tbat now that tho finan
cial tension is casing up buying orders are
bound to increase after the holidays. Av ith tho
inevitable) result of lifting values o jt of tbe
rut.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Share and Bond Markets Both Dull, the
Former Ruling Slightly Lower, and
the Latter Slightly Higher Van-
derbllts the Strong Point.
New York, Dec. 23 The market to-day was
very dull throughout but especially so in the
afternoon, and remained heavy to weak as a
rule until tbe last hour, when there was a par
tial recovery ot former fractional losses. Con
sidering tbe limited market, there was in the
forenoon considerable bear pressure, and in
Union Pacific, Rock Island, St Paul, Missouri
Pacific and Chicago Gas there were moderate
lines of short stock put out
Tbe Vanderbilts, as usual of late, were the
one strong point in tho list Lake Shore es
pecially showing marked strength. The re
ports of the different roads were generally up
to the expectations, and Lake Shore in partic
ular made a most flattering exhibit It ad
vanced in the early dealings and was held at
tbe best figures throughout the day.
In the morning hours all the Grangers were
weak, and St. Paul dropped away over 4 per
cent. Silver was also again weak and touched
101, and severe pressure upon Chicago Gas
brouzlit that stock down from 35 to 33 The
pressure entirely ceased after delivery hour,
however, and a general improvement took
place, by which a portion of the early losses
was recovered, and silver certificates moved up
rapidly on the prospect of action on the bill
for the purchase of the surplus bullion in the
country. Tbe dullness continued until the
close, which was firm at the rally.
The final changes are in but few cases for
more tbau small fractions, and generally in the
direction ol lower figures, but Chicago Gas is
down 1 and Lake fcdiorc is up 1J
Railroad bonds were dull, but displayed a
firmer tone than shares, and most of the final
changes to-night are in the direction ot higher
price, though tbe important ones are lew.
Tne sales reached $829,000, without special
activity iu any one issue. The advances include
Houston and Texas Central certificates. 2K to
to 72: Louisville and Nashville generals, 1 to
112X: Missouri Pacific thirds, 3 to 114, and La
CledeGasos.2io79.
The Post says: Tho annual reports of the
Vanderbilt roads seemed to have set the board
room traders to thinking rather than trading,
for evon such scalping trading as there was in
the first hour or two ceiscd after 12 o'clock,
and in tbe two hours to 2 o'clock the market
was almost at a standstill, with almost no
cbange in prices of railroad stocks. Silver,
however, was weak, and went easy 2 to 21 on
sales of 40,000 ounces, an amount equal to only
400 shares of railroad stocks at par. When
anything declines as easily as this, it sbow
tbat it is getting heavy to bold, and it is not
necessary to try to explain it, as was being
done in tbe street to-daj, as the result of opera
tions by a Washington pool which wishes to ac
cumulate stock.

WAIL STREET GOSSIP.
Fresh Trouble Predicted for London Sliver
Stronger Stock Market Narrow.
Speculators do not seem to be assured of
plain sailing. There arc said to be breakers
ahead. Tho situation Is outlined below by
John M. Oakley & Co:'s correspondents, Wat
son & Gibson.
We have several times alluded to the injury
which will be inflicted on certtin branches of
foreign industry by the nnanciafembarrass
ments of the Argentine Republic in which
during tbe past year, the market for European
wares was greatly diminished and also the in
jury by ihe McKinley tariif. We have beard
of no commercial troubles abroad, but it is
well to bear in mind the actual condition of
many industries. We reiterate our opinion
tbat fresh financial troubles will break out in
tbo speculative world of London, for
we do not believe that by bridging
over Baring Brothers' difficulty the
host of smaller concerns tbat were "tailing"
after this great house. Such immense sums
havo been locked up in the Argentiue Republic
and abroad, and such enormous conversions
have been made of private properties into joint
stock companies, subscribed for on Install
ments or margins, that great caution will have to
be exercised by England's financial houses to
avoid fresh complications.
The stock market to-day has been very dull,
hut it has bad one feature of interest firmness
in Lake bbore. in an increase iu its dividend
from 5 per cent to 6 per cent, and an accom
panying decline in "the general list Now it
would be bard to conceive of a much better bull
card than this, for Vanderbilt stocks are in
public favor and their management is non
spcculative. It naturally would be argued that
tne directors of this corporation would not ad
vance the dividend rate even on tbe confessedly
large showing of the current year's traffic
if there were any doubt about the Commission
er's business. This fall does not appear to
have had the slightest effect on speculative
sentiment, and bears were unkind enough to
say tbat certain large Interests here heavily
loaded with stocks had urged the policy of in
creased dividend to make a market to sell
bonds and stocks on, and they called attention
to tbe tact tbat Lake bhore earned only per
cent more during the currentyearthanlast year,
when, too, the promise of the coming season
was far better than now. The Increased divi
dend on New York Central incited more ad
verse criticism, for this road can hardly be
called prolific in net profits.
bilver was bobbing about to-day, closing con
siderably stronger than it ouened, but tho fluc
tuation in tho price of this metal exert a very
unfortunate influence on business interests,
especially on tboso engaged on trade with the
far East and silver-using countries. It also
keeps wido open the relative value of gold and
silver, and we know that this question is viewed
with much apprehension abroad.
Tbe market continues very narrow, and as
we have shown, uuresponsivo to bullish news.
We have an idea tbat the market will go low
unless it grows more active. Santa Ciaus will
be requested to postpone his visit till A more
convenient season.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Supply of cold storage eggs is In excess of de
mand, and markets are oil 2c per dozen since
yesterday. Southern eggs are coming in
freely, but being of doubtful age, ate also
weaker. Nearby stock is steady. Last week's
prices of creamery were reaffirmed at Elgin at
tbe Monday meeting Of tbe board, but markets
were weak. Potatoes and apples are firm, and
choice stock is active at outside quotations.
Demand for poultry is active ard puces are
firm. Supplies are likely to be large, hut there
is no probability of a glut. Pittsburg's capacity
for turkey Christmas week has been fully tested
in former years and rarely found wanting.

E0W HSH ABE HATCHED.
The Dry Method .That Is Being TJsed so Suc
cessfully In France.
In Paris an aquarium is maintained for
Ihe purpose'orbreeding fish for replenish
ing the rivers of '.France. A quantity of
California salmon .arc kept in a tank
specially constructed for the purpose of
artificial breeding, which at a certain time
of the year is carried ont in tbe following
manner: The water is reduced to a low
level and a number of operators enter the
tank, and, forcing before them a wire screen,
drive the fish to one end of the tank. This
is generally a very troublesome operation,
as the salmon resist most vigorously, fre
quently jumping over the net, and necessi
tating au active chase of longer or shorter
duration, as the case may be. "When the
fish are all ioclosed in one part of the tank,
a certain number are taken out and care
fully examined. Uadh female salmon is
made by pressure to release the unfertilized
eggs which It contains, which are received
in an iron bucket. Alter this is done the
salmon is released and allowed to swim
away into toe free part of the tank. "When
a sufficient quantity of spawn has thns been
collected in the bucket, a male fish is
caught, and squeezed carefully by the hand
of the operator.
-The eggs are impregnated with the gen
erating fluid thus obtained, and after hav
ing been lelt for some time in tbe bucket
for fecundation are transferred to the water
in a separate tank, where in due time tbey
are hatched. The method employed in the
aquarium is called the dry method, as tbe
eggs are received in a receptacle which con
tains no water, and tbe generating fluid is
poured directly upon them. It appears that
this mode involves leas loss than the wet
method, which consists in receiving the
eggs in water. '.The operation described
takes place three or four times a week lrom
the beginning of October to the middle of
November. The task of catching nnd trans
ferring the fish is said to be a very arduous
oce for the men engaged, who have to be
from two to three hours in the cold water,
engaged in continuous struggles with the
powerful fish. It is -not uncommon to see
one of the men knocked clean over by a
blow from the tail ot a 20-pound salmon.
One of the results of this mode of artificial
breeding is that more than 200,000 healthy
fish are transferred to the River Seine every
year.
PUBITY OF WATEB.
Tho Slmplo Tesi of Sugar Has No Signifi
cance Whatever.
The inventor of a handy and reliable
mode of testing tbe purity of water would
deserve trie thanks of the community. It is
to be regretted that the simple test of adding
a little shgar, "which has lately been advo
cated, and'which is said to cause any organic
matter in the water to appear alter a while
in the form of black specks, is of no value
whatever, practically. The misconception
about the merit of this test has probably
arisen from the fact tbat it was formerly
nsed for tbe detection of a fungus supposed
to be peculiar to sewerage. A bottle con
taining sugared water was placed in a strong
light and kept at a temperature of 80
Fahrenheit for several hours. The "tur
bidity thus developed was found, under the
microscope, to consist of small spherical
cells. Heisch believed that these cells evi
denced tbe contamination of the water by
sewage, but Franklin showed that the
spores of this particular fungus were pres
ent in all waters that had been even mo
mentarily exposed to the air, and that their
development was due simply to the pret
ence of phosphates in the water. The ad
dition of even a minute trace ot any phos
phate was sufficient to cause such develop
ment in auy water under the' conditions
stated.
HEWS OF THE BIVEB.
Big Coal Shipments Testerday Occasioned
by the Water's Rise.
THE river rose yesterday to 11 feet and was
then stationary. A. slight fall was expected
during the night
There were big shipments of coal yesterday,
several million bushels going down tbe river.
The boats and shipments were tbe same as an
nounced in THE Dispatch yesterday.
The Hudson will Do the Cincinnati packet
boat to-day. The Andes was in and out yester
day with a good trip. Big consignments of
Christmas poultry are scheduled for to-day's
boat in.
The Monongabela wharf is In a filthy condi
tion, and the river men are kicking because it
lias not been cleaned. A great deal of snow
was bauled to the wharf from the streets, and
It proved as much dirt as snow. This is still
lying there and is a bother to everybody con
nected with the river interests.
A Novel Sign.
An enterprising trunkmaker has made a
very striking application ol electricity for
the advertisement of his wares. In the front
of his store he has erected a pedestal of
polished brass, surmounted by a framework,
representing the. usual trimmings of an
ordinary trunk. Inside this framework is
placed a trunk of beveled French plate glass,
which is illuminated in the evening by
electric light, and which constitutes a
unique method of advertising. The main
part ot the sign is spiral in design, and is of
solid brass, excepting a small hole through
the center to pass electric wires through, and
on the base 01 the structure is conspicuously
inscribed the name of the firm.
