ijuuook roi: tub coming year
"The jcar is ended and PittsViurg is all
right." was the brief but truthful comment
of a rtrorniueut business man yesterday on
the business achievements of 1S90. He was
light. The expiring year has been the most
prosperous in tlio history of the city. This
claim is birne out liy statistics within tlie
ic-ich of all. The bank clearings show it,
ami merchants and manufacturers bear testi
mony to its iruthlulncss.
Prosperity was not confined to any par
ticular interest or activity: it affected every
i-giliiaatc enterprise, and he who is not
richer at the c::d of the year than at the
leiiiaiug, icl.ne.-. and accident barred, must

itioi.s ot trade, which Merc buidcucd with

Slim rrospeck for a KaUy 'With Which
Close tlie Year.
The expectation that local stocks would closi
the year with a rally was pretty well dashoJ
yesterday when nothing was done at tho tlisl
two calls and very little at the last. Total
sales for the day were 101 shares, with about a
much between calls.
Except in one or two instances price change
were small, but the majority of thctn were
losses showing that buyers are still hanging
around for cheap stnff. Several expressed sur
prise that the market did not go lower, is it
was almost entirely without support. Conces
sions were made in Philadelphia C!a, Tipeage.
Central Traetion.Elcctric and Airbrake. Tleas
ant Valley, Iaister and switch and Signal were
fractionally stronger.
In these last hours of the year brokers have
this to comfort them, tlfttln the ordinary oper
ations of business it i almost impossible for
stocks to Und a lower level than that upon
which they arc resting, and chances are several
to one that tho next important movcwill bo In
the nature of -a reaction. Thisisiendered tho
more probable by the prevailing sentiment that
money will be "plenty and cheap before the
year is a month old.

NrwY'onK. Dec 30. The stock market to
day experienced a completo change in temper,
and under persistent bear hammering finally
closed almost invariably lower than last even
ing, notwithstanding that the general outlook
was. if anything, unproved, and the money
market worked rather easier than yesterday.
The money market, m fact, continues in very
satisfactory shape, notwithstanding the near
approach of the hrstof the year and m any
case disturbances in rales can only last a few
days at the utmost. The d.fflculty over the
Omaha bridge, bouever. created a bad impres
sion, and ihe announcement that the meeting
fnrtheorganiz.tioiiof thebnardof the new as
sociation had been postponed was used to the
advantage ot the hears
The foieigners took stocks rather liberally in
the early trading, but this resistance to the
bearish operations was short-lived, and not
withstarding that commission houses report in
creased inqnir for investment securities there
was nothing that looked like support in the
market from opening to close. The purchases,
however, did indicate a desire to accumulate
stocks Ht the figures marked.
The opening figures indicated the hesitation
on tho part of domestic operators, and were
irregularly changea lrum those of last evening,
while the pressure to hell was apparent in the
first few minutes' trading, an active business
icsnltmg in -slight losses all along the line.
The foreign demand then helped prices up
again, ana in many cases, among the active
stacks, the highest prices for the past week
were reached. From these points, however,
there was' a material and steady depreciation,
ith the room traders consnicuous sellers.
Louisville aud Nashville. "Lackawanna, Rock
Island and some others were very prominent in
the downwaid movement, and from the best
fi ures of the forenoon there were declines ex
tending to 'J per cent scored. This was in the
regular list, but in Sugar a mure pronounced
decline took place, the minor that one of the
suits against the trust had been decided ad
versely helping to depress the price. Lacka
wanna led the break in the afternooD, and there
was thought to be free realizing on the recent
rise.
The one strong point in the market was
Wheeling aud Lake Erie, which continued its
rise ot yesterday and failed to follow the" rest
of the list when tho break came, and it stands
alone in showing a material advance as Ihe re
sult of the day's operations. The decline made
steady progress during the afternoon, and
while there was in some cases slight rallies
from tho lowest points, the close was heavy and'

shares of ll.lcd stock In tho forenoon, which
was more than In the sain hour on any day
since December Id. The activity tn-ilny, how
ever, was of a dlliercut kind from that on the
10th, as to-day It was caused by a ilrslro to ac
cumulate Mock, whereas nu the 10th a great
many people thought the announcement of the
agreement to forma now federation among the
Western roads was a good time to sell, because,
it was argued, a great many people were
heavily loaded with stocks mid would take the
opportunity to get out. With this idea tho
bears sold everything short, and stocks went
down 1 to 2 points. The experience nf tho two
weeks since the ltith has, however, shown that
it was a mistake to sell stocks then, as prices
l.avo not been so low since, and as at the prices
of this forenoon every active stock on the list
was higher.

Dr goods Market.
Kr.w York, Dec. 30. The improvement in
the aemand for drygoods noted by some agents
was felttn-uayby others, and there seemed to
be indications that buyers are ready to operate
more largely, as soon as circumstances shall
justify them doing so. but no great movement
is looked for before January, and improvement
maybe gradual. It is a bujers' market for
some goods, but there is not much change in
the condition or tone.

Creamery butter is.weaker.and fresh eggs are
firmer. Wintjy weather has had the effect of
curtailing supplies of fresh eggs, and tho few
coming 111 are firmly held at outside quotations.
Cold storage stock is still quiet. Supply of
potatoes has increased of late, and prices are a
shade lower than they were a week ago. Good
stock, which is scarce, is not likely to go lower
thi-. season. A really good potato is a scarce
article in our markets. Quality is lower and
price higher than for many a year past. Apples
are firm, and fancy stock sells readily at prices
quoted. Demand for tropical fruits shows
slight Improvement ot late, and prices for the
New Year are likely to bo higher. Bananas and
Florida oranges are very firm at present prices.

A Consumptive's Dct Ice for Protecting; His

New York Sun.2
During a crowd the others day on Four
teenth street, near Fifth avenue, a very
solid man was pushing his way through the
mass of humanity, when he encountered a
pale, thin young man with the look of a
consumptive. The big man did not swerve
a hair, and the thin young man's elbow,
which was held out at an angle, took him in
the leit side. The big man gave a gasp, fol
lowed by a curse, and nearly lost his bal
ance, while the other passed on as cool as 1
ice. He had turned aside to gaze into u
window, when the big man came up and
said:
"Friend, I want to feel of your right el
bow, the one you gave me a dig with b.ck
there."
"Oh, .certainly," was the reply as the el
bow was extended.
"Why why it's hard as iron!"
"Yes, it is iron. That is,,I have an iron
cap made for it. Just a fit,, as-you see, and
padded with flannel. It's an invention of
my own. Haven't long to live, and don't
want to surrender any of ray rights and
privileges.. You are number 22 to-Uav all
big men. American hog versus ihe iron el
bow, you see. Elbow always comes out
ahead. Good day."

Fads of Interest-on Changes Between
- - Kow and a Year Ago,
IN THE LINES OF JOBBING' TUADES.
Tho General Drift of Produce and Groceries
is Upward.
REVIEW Oii" TRADE FOE TnE TEAK 1890
Office of The 1'iTTSniiKQ dispatch.
Tuesday. Dec 30.
In Produce Lines.
Produce trade seldom furnishes sharper
contrasts than it has done the past year. At
'the close of 1889, apples were a drug at 52
per barrel as outside price for fancy stock.
Now they are firm at $6. A year ago po
tatoes were slow at 40c per bushel. Now
they are active at SI 23, and quality this
season is much below last. After the holi
days a year ago cold storage eggs were hard
to giye away. Now they arc steady at 21c to
22c per dozen. Freh nearby- esres were sold in
the latter part of December, 1SS9, at 23c per
dozen In job lots. 'lhcsamear& now selling at
20c per dozen.
Price of cheese varies very little from rates
orayearaco. hut is on an average about 1c
higher now than then. With the exception of
potatoes, vegetables are 'about tho same in
price as at this time a year ago. Top price of
creamery butter a year ago was 31c Now it is
33c p.-r ft. The price of poultry and game is
practically the same as at this tiniclast year.
Tropical fruits aro higher than a year ago,
for the reason that domestic fruits have been
in a great measure a failure. Florida oranges
aro SI per bax.higuer than at this timo a year
ago atsonrce3 ot supply, and tlie advancrJ here
corresponds to this increased cost.
Cereals Away Up.
The contrasts between now and a year ago
are still sharper in cereal than in produce lines.
On December 31, ltiiS, No. 2 red wheat was
quoted at 5 to SGo per bushel. Now quotations
are $1 00 to Jl 01. The outside price of flour
then was $1 S3; now it is Jo 75. No. 2, y c corn
soldayearacoat40 toiojc per bushel. Now
price is 02 tobSc Price of No.2, white oats
this time last year was 28 to 2iJc. A year aiio
Mo. 1, white middlings sold at 15 00 to S15 50.
Present prices are $24 50 to 825 00. No. 1
timothy hay sold at $11 75 a year aso, and
present price is 310 Oa At the beginning of tho
year rye was quoted at 52 to 33c To
day quotations are 71c to 77c per bushel.
Flour was on an average 50c per barrel lowar a
year aco than now- Among the features of
Grain Exchange transactions for the eat past
is the increased sales oa change. The'increase
for 1890 has been fully 100 per cent over 1SS0.
The curbstone deals are diminishing, and regu.
lar sales on call arc steadily on the increase.
There is still room for improvement in this
din ction, as outside transactions are farin ex
cess of deals on change.
Groceries Higher.
In grocery lines the general drift of the year
has been ton ard hisber prices, with sugar as
the exception. Tho decline in sucar for the
year has averaged 1c per pound. A year ago
franulated sugars were jobbing at 7Jc and in
April they dropped to Cc per pound. Present
prices am lc lower than at the beginning of the
year. Coffee varies very little in price from
rates of a year ago.
packagei have been selling most of the year
at the same rates. Within a dav or two there
hai been a drop of K2 Per pound, but green
coffee i3 still steady jc old prices. All canned
fruits are higher than tbey were a year aao.
As an evidence of the change, canned peaches
wbfph sold a year ago at SI 60 per dozen are
now selling at ti CO, and canned com has ad
vanced from 55c to doc per dozen. Canned
tomatoes are about the sameiu price as at this
time last year. Prospects are for still higher
prices in canned fruit lines in the near future.
The Hide Market.
At the opening oX the year hides and calf
skins were as low as they had been for a gener
ation or more. Green salted steer bides were
down to 8c and buffs to less than 5c per pound.
Calf skins sold at Ccper pound in theearlv
part of January, which was the lowest prico
touched since before the war. With calf
skins a little abovo 25c apiece, butclrers were
wishing that they could do with calves as with
boas, scald them and let the hide go. Toward
spring, however, there was an upward move
ment, and calf skins kept climbing up nntil in
the latter part of Aumt they sold
nt Oo pox i-o-una. -ttmce mat time
there has been a retrogiade movement,
and prices here drifted back until tbey have
reached 7Jic the pn-sent rate. Buff hides were
dull a year ago at 4c per ffi. Soon after the
turn of the year they went up. and by the be
ginning of September were selling at Sc per fi,
and in rood demand. A reaction set in a few
weeks later and prices kept drifting steadily
hick tonard the old level, until now the price
is 5c per B, which is only Jc above prices of a
year aso. Steer hides reached their highest
price September 1, when they sold at OJic The
present price is 8c, w hich is about the same as
a year ago.
Provisions.
The drift of markets in this line has been
downward of late. Green bams and shoulders
are about c lower than they were a year ago,
and lard is about the same as at this time last
year. In view of prices in other lines, there is
nothing cheaper than bog products.
MARKETS BY WIRE.
Wheat Strong and Active on Bullish Cables
Corn Opens 'With a Jump Oats Cap
tured by the Bulls Hog
Products Movo Up.
CHICAGO Thero was a decrease of 2,000,000
bushels of wheat on ocean passage, and as this
came to hand previous to the openiuz of the
market here it created a very strong feeling
and an advance when trading started to 97e
for May, compared with 977c at the cIomi
of the session yesterday. Ihare was a lair
amount of actirltv, and there appeared
to be an excellent demand for
some time, but it was noticed that
the buyers of wheat, yesterday, were principal
sellers on this advance. Tho cable advices
were encouraging to holders and exporters.
The shorts were rather anxious in view of the
surroundins circumstances, and they succeded
in buyinc enough to allay their fears, thp price
of May wheat having advanced to 88-9Sia
July was maintained at about 4c discount, and
December 5c discount under May. The price
was kept close around 97JgC during the latter
part of the session and closed with sellers' at
that price.
Corn opened up with a jump ofc over the
closing price of the day before, and at the end
nt the session it had gained He over the open
inn quotation. The prico for May started irreg
ularly at 51iS'5-c, with some sales iuimeiuately
at 5'lfic There was a reaction to 51c, with
perhaps a sale or two at 51-y-c The advance and
strength In wheat was in favor of better prices
for corn, and the small proportion of No. 2 corn
in the daily receipts and in store is used with
effect upon the shorts every time a heavy hold
er desires to run them in. May advanced to
52c and closed at 5232c.
'1 he bulls captured the oats market early in
tho day and worked prices upward several
iiotche. Hutchinson's nnyins (ho took 600,000
bushels) was the principal reason for the ad
vance, although light receipts and the small
quantity of the contract grade In store were
important factors in the hull's favor. The
shorts, who viere not particularly numerous,
took f right and proceeded to cover. The mar
ket opened at 44c for, May and advanced
slowly to 41c when the prico shot up like a
rocket to 44Jc. It afterward advanced to 43I4c,
when tlieru was a reaction of q. The closing
price. 44e, was lc higher than yesterdaj's
close.
Hog products were easy near the start, pork
showing the most disposition toward selling
loner, but later the sentiment changed com
pletely and the early drooping tendency was
changed to one more nearly approaching buoyancy.-
May pork opened at from Sll 07J-J to
Sll 10 and It declined to S10 03 with probably a
halo at 2Jc unaer that. Business was dull un
til arter tue call, but woke up and prices ad
vanced easily on moderate buying on account
prioci pally of the small amount offered for sale
at the same time. It advanced to Sll 27 and
-uas at tho oitts'ide figures as tbe'trading ceased.
