mskM f&5wgrrvz: fBmggprV i i -- FARMINGIMPLEMENTS Afjricnltural Tools Are in Good De mand and the Outlook FOR TBE YEAR AHEAD PROMISING. Times ire Eipa for New Manufacturing Plants in Onr City. HARDWARE ACTIVE AXD TRICES LOW OFFICE or FITTRBUKG DISPATCH, Tuesday, Jan. 27. Agricultural Goods. Dealers in agricultural implements, seeds, etc, reports very promising outlook in their department 01 trade. The clover seed crop was a pract.cal failure in Western Penn sylvania and E istern Ohio last season and larniers in this section are now entirely de pendent on the West for their supplies. In ordinary years "Westmoreland, lyctte and other nearby county formers have an over plus of cloter seed, and iurnisb about one half -of the amount demanded in this market. 2ow these farmers look to Pitts burs dealers for their supplies, tne latter drawing on the West where there is a lull average crop. As a result of the increased demand from the Eastern ecctiors of the country clover has been steadily moving upward, and an adanco ot 23c per bushel was reported from Chicago jesterday. Prices arc Irom Jl 03 to SI 50 per bushel higher than at this time a tear ago, and still further advances are probable Other seeds required by farmers aro the same as last season. Along with clover comes the failure of the potato crop in this section, and the seed in this line will be more than double the a erase expense to our farmers and gardeners the coming sprinj:. In the line of agricultural implements a representative of one of our leadu g ttrais had tlili to say in an interview jesterdaj: "Orders for mow erf, reapers and plows are coming in earlier than uual tbi season. We do not look for many orders u'ltil the latter part of February oriearly in JIaich, but have been agrceablj disappointed in receiving some nice orders at this earl; stage. Last season our firm supplied the larmers of this section with almost 500 reapers and uioners. aud several other houses no doubt did equally welL The pieem outlook promises a better year ahead than the jear just past. There is one line in which our tiade tins winter has been better than for a number of years, namely, bob-sleds, which are manufactured in Tifhn, O., and are sold at about 15 apiece. 1 he sales of our nrin this winter will already reach 400. A Better Demand for sleighs. S'.eighs also have been selling belter this winter than usual. Chicago being the source of supplv. Factory wagons have been handled by tne 1'ittsburg agricultural houses tho past car to the number of not less than 1,000. In view of the facts that all our hardware firsts deal mure or less in agricultural imple ments, and that our Lit is not a center of agri culture, it is plain that the business of f uriuMi mglariacrs with the necessary tools for their aw. cation is fairly livclj in our city. I There is. however, one drawback to this pleasant picture that implements for the larmeraro only sold, not manufactured here. The steel and lroi. goes from here to Canton, .Massillon, fcpringteld. Dayton and Tiffin, to re turn again in finished products. These flour-i-hing Ohio cities which deserve credit for their pu-h ard enterprise and are reaping rich Towards are doig much work which should be annc nearer home. A score of 3 cars ago a Pittsburg hnn engaged lu the manufacture of cider mills cutting machines, eta, went down fur ant of sulhcie at patronage We managed to hold our own in the manufacture of plows, but in the general lino of agricultural imple ments our cit has been left in the rear bv en terprising cities of tLe Wst, w hich did not possess the same natural advantages. The Al legheny farmer who breaks bis mower or reaper cannot find any nearer point than Can ton or Massillon. where the substitute for the broken piece cau be bad. These things ought not so to be. There is abundant room hero for nianulacturers of fin Ished products. Times are ripe for the plant ing of new industries. In Hardware Lines. The volume of trade in hardware continues unusuall; cood for the time or 3 ear. In most lines of general hardware prices have seldom been so low as at the present time. The margin of profit tn the manufacturer must bo more t&an wiped out as regards many finished products. 2ails have probably never fold as low a- this season, and it to only-a-question of how much the manufacturerislosing.it present prices. According to well authenticated re ports sales of steel nails have bien maue at tbo factories as low as JI 75 per keg. It is within the memory of people not old when an inferior article to the present steel nail sold at 7 per keg. LOCAL LIVE STOCK. Condition or Markets at East Liberty Stock Yards.

Wlieat, Corn, Oats and Provision Prices All on the Down Grade Bullish At tempts on Grain at the Open' inc Fall Completely. CHICAGO The market for wheat was crushed under an early avalanche of bull offer ings, and a struggle to reach the price at which it closed yesterday missing that point, it be came weaker than ever, and May delivery was selling at l'4c as the market closed, compared with 97c yesterday. The chief cause for tho lower price was tho decline of Jd. in Califor nia wheat at Liverpool. This Liverpool decline was explained, however, by ono who claimed to knuw, to be duo to the crop of the freights consequent upon the ex pectation that the prevailing dry weather in California would curtail the quantity to be shipped. This, he said, wascausingthepriceof wheat In San Francisco to advance, but the de cline lu ocean freight more than counterbal anced that improvement, and enabled the En glish importer to lay it down cheaper in the meantime. There was an advance to UTJg'-. ac companied by considerable fuss and noise on the last c ot the climb, but it was apparently exhausted by the difficulties of tho ascent, and dropped back shortly to tl6Jia hesitated, and finally broke to 95JJC, and at the close the final trading price was at the lowest of the day, aud ljc loner than on Monday. The corn market was governed In its 'price fluctuations to a considerable extent by the chances in wheat. It was weak and JJc lower at the start for the Mav futnre; declined .c more and then reacted Jc There was after a slight decline, another c advance, -which brought the price up to 52ic, but it afterward became verv weak, and alter selling at 51?c it closed at 5152c. The trade in oats was- liclit and all on local accounts. It fluctuated between 45Jffl46, clos ing with a decline of Jc compared witu jester dav. The provision market was started on the down grade at tho opening by the estimate re ported from the yards that the receipts of hogs w ere Ji,000. against 36,000 expected. The 4S.000 bead reported in the morning were later on said to bo an under estimate, and heaviness continued to the end. The best prices were the first, and tho lowest wero for the most part tho last.

The Old Skating-Rink District in Al legheny Forging Ahead. PROPERTIES TO BE IMPROVED. An Expert Talks About Ileal Estate and Booms the Thirteenth Ward. IHE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI The Executive Committee of the Heal Estate Auction Board of Allegheny County, consisting of J. F. Baxter, Alexander Leg eate, D. -P. Black, S. W. Black and Thomas Liggett, have leased No. 99 Fourth avenue, first floor, for a salesroom. Possession will be taken April 1. Larger premises will be secured whenever business demands it. President Baxter says the prospects of the organization are very encouraging. On the Northsidc. While the Norihside as a whole is holding its own in the number and character of its improvements, in which it is scarcely second to any other city in the country, some parts of it are more progressive than others. At present the district of which the old skating rink is the center seems to be in the lead. A few vears ago this part of Allegheny was entirely unimproved. Now it is pretty well covered with bouses. A cood deal of the building has been done by the Dennys on their own account. Their success has been so great as to encourage them to continue the good work of providing homes for tne people, and they will, according to good authority, build largely this vear. Other owners have not been idle nor indifferent tn the interests of the city, but have done their share to aid its expansion. It is understood that the Brereton property, between Boquet and Dairy streets, and the Paxton prpertv on Beech street, will be built on this year. The onenlnir nD of California avenue will undoubtedly give, this locality afresh im--pulse. The Banner Waved. Concerning the condition and tendency of the real estate 'market, George Johnson, of George Johnson & Co , said yesterday: "Tbo market is in excellent shape. Inquiry is active and values strong. A great many peoplo have lost confidence in stocks as an investment and are turning their attention to bonds aud bouses. The demand for business stands down town is greater than fori ears. This is largely due to the influx of outsiders desiring to locate in Pittsburg to share its prosperity. But there is also a good home market for this class of property, denoting that our own people are wide awake. We have quite a list of orders for stores and warehouses. "While all the wards are on their mettle and making rapid strides in material development, I think the Thirteenth beads the list for quick turns and plenty of them. It is a crime favorite with home-seekers on account of asy access and reasonable values. Out Wvlio thero is an extraordinary demand for dwellings of from Ave to eight rooms, and we could rent several hundred at once if we had them. All the houses in course of erection out there have been sold or leased many ot them before the foundations were completed. We have sold more than 300 lots on Wyllc Webster. Bedford and other atenues and streets within a year, man: of which havo been built on. "While the iranrovements in the Thirteenth ward are not so fine and costly asm the fashion, able quartuisof the East End, the large ma jority of them are of a good class, cosy and comfortable, with attractive surroundings typical homes which are the pride and boast of Pittsburg. I think there will be quite a boom in that part of the city the coming season." Advice to Young Men. General B. F. Butler, in a recent address to young men. gave them some good advice, of which tho following is a sample: "All the im proved real estato in Boston, as a rule, has paid Its interest and taxes and quadrupled in value during the past 50 years, while during the same Deriod 90 per cent of all the merchants and traders in this city have failed, and 90 per cent of all the business corporations have either done likewise or gone out of business, sothat their stock has been wiped out. Invlew'of these facts, I think it may be unhesitatingly asserted that nothing else is so safe an invest ment for small savings as improved real estate. Nothing is likely to grow In value faster. You had, therefore, better buy a piece of improved real estate, however small, that is paying rent. Pay in cash what little money you have, and give jour notes, secured by mortgage on the property, for the balance, in small sums falling due at short intervals and then use all your extra income from the rent of jour property in paying them off. Thus, in a short time, and al most before jou know it, joa will be a proprie tor, and comparatively Independent." .Business New and Gossip. The pleasant weather of jesterday was help ful to business. The corner seems to hate been turned. Mrs. Elizabeth Farrell is tearing down two old houses at tbo corner of Center avenue and Arthur street, preparatory to the erection of two brick stores in the spring. A new two-story mansard brick dwelling is going up on Vine street. Eighth ward. Four two-story mansard frame dwellings have just been finished on Herron avenue. Thirteenth ward. On the same avenue and in the same neighborhood, an elegant two-story mansard brick dwelling is well under way. Since this avenue was paved with Belgian blocks it has grown greatly in popular favor as a residence locality. Iteuhen Miller, ot Logan and Franklin streets, has added another story to his house and converted the lower.part ot it into a store room.

THE PCTTSBUBG DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY, JANUABY - HOME'BECTJBITIES. Litely Tradinz Kept Up and Higher Prices in the Majority. As usual of late. Electric was the roost active of the local stocks yesterday, Philadelphia Gas being second. Trading was brisk, total sales footing up 925 shares. Electric developed considerable strength. It opened at 8, sold np to 9, eased off gradually and closed at 8 bid. Tbo lowest sale was 8 There was a good sprinkling of Eastern and local orders for it around these figures. Phil adelphia Gas and Switch and Signal wcro also higher. Consignee mining made an extraordinary jump from 30 bid at the first call to 75 at the, second. This pace was too rapid and it dropped to 50 at the close. Very little is known about this stock, and those on- tho inside have it all their own way. Central Traction closed a point better than tho opening, but the rest of this group under went no change of importance. In the major, ity of cases final prices wero the best of tho day.

MONET MAEKET. runds Accumulating a Little Too Rapidly to Suit the Bankers. Money is easy enough in Pittsburg for any use rather easier, in fact, than bankers like it. One of them said jesterday that the supply was tn excess of the demand. Brokers find no diffi culty In securing accommodations, and this ac counts for the Improvement in stock trading. Clearings were $2,b6M89 68 and balances $331, 869 70. A financial authority says: "In London there is the same tendency toward easy money which is so evident in New York. The money market gives no evidence of being in any manner af fected by the South American disturbances. By cable We bad notice of a flurry in Brazilian se curities, due to the large issues by Brazil of irredeemable legal tender enrrency, and also to rumors of political troubles. The excitement in Brazilian securities seems to have soon sub sided, hut with the announcement of that fact came the statement of a fall in Argentines based on reports of internal disorders. These market fluctuations, however, seem to be of little importance."

The Share Market Motes Upward, and Is Well Oat of the Sluggish Rat of Last Week Jersey Central Leads the Advance. New Youk, Jan. 27. The stock market to day was somewhat ot a surprise to many people, developing a sudden strength and activity that was entirely unlooked for. and the movement of the market to-day, in connection with that of yesterday, seems to indicate that it has gotten out of the rut into which it had fallen, and promises to become broader and more active. The one unsatisfactory feature of the day was the attempt to bring forward again as a bull card the sugar receipts and the new stock of the company. Tho latter was given a tn 1st of over 6 per cent, and both became active in the last hour. There was large covering of shorts by the sellers of the past few day;, and tho steady demand from that source kept prices moving npward without any real set-back after tho first few minutes' trading, when a tentative attack was mado upon the marker, or rather some storks which were thought to be vulner able. Such undoubted support was developed, however, that the selling was as quickly as pos sible turned tnto buying, and the Gould stocks, the Coalers, the Grangersand many specialties which have been so cousplcuous for weakness under the attacks of tho professionals during the past week, became promineut in tbo up ward movement. Manhattan was dropped suddenly from 103 to 86 aud Lac'tawanna, Burlington and Chicago Gas were forced off fractional amounts, and the last two stocks were rather sluggish throughout the day, failing to keep pace with the rest of the list. St. Paul, however, led the advance in the forenoon, and later Union Pacific, which was also the most active, came to the front, fol lowed by Missouri Pacifac and Northern Pa cific Jersey Central, however, outstripped all the others, its advance being on tho same gigantic scale as its late decline. Manhattan recovered almost all of its loss. The industrlals.wbich had been (lull through, out, came to tho front in the la-t hour, but too late to have any real influence on tho shares of the regular- list, Tbo market finally closed quiet but stroiv at the highest prices of the uay. The list is almost invariably higher to night, and Jersey Central Is up 3J$;Sr. Paul and Union Pacific, each V,i Missouri "Paclflo and Northern Pacific, each 1J: Northwestern, Lackawanna and Nortrern racific preferred, each IK: Canada Southern, Louisville and North American, each 1J; Western Union, Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred.

This is the secret of its wonderful success. 28, 1S9L DOMESTIC MARKETS. Elgin Creamery Batter Weaker and Country Very Dull. APPLES TOO EXPENSIVE TO SELL.

Elgin creamery butter is a shade weaker at headquarters. Country butter still drags, and prices are nominal. Only fancy rolls are in de mand. Fresh nearby egg begin to come in more freely under the influence of mild weather, but prices are well maintained. Poultry is not so plenty as it has been for a few weeks past. We are now haying the lull which ordinarily follows a glut. Markets are still quiet- Supply ot potatoes Is fully up to demand, and job lots are slow at outside quotations. Demand for apples is light owing to high prices. When ap ples and oranges are close together in price, as tbey have beeu of late, the average consumer prefers the latter. Customers for apples have been reduced fully 50 per cent this season as compared with the ordinary seasons when this staple fruit is abundant. Lemons are scarce and firm. Bananas are coming more freely to market than of late, and prices are not so Arm as they have been. Apples S4 5036 a barrel.

FOR BILIOUSNESS Use Horsford's Acid Phosphate. Dr. W. B. Gillies, Winnipeg, Manitoba, says: "I have used it In a typical coe of indigestion with biliousness, and found it to be, withoot exception, the best thing I ever used in such cases." What a Dealer Says of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mr. G. L. Faurote, proprietor of the West Side Grocery at NileS, Michigan, states that while engaged in business in Indiana he handled a lull lice of Chamberlain's med icines, and that his sales on Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy were yery large. The rem edy, he said, gave first-class satisfaction to his patrons, also that he always used it ex clusively in his own family whenever re quired and with the most gratifying results. Let anyone troubled with a severe cough or cold give it an honest trial and they will soon become convinced of its excellence. It possesses qualities peculiar to itself which make it far superior to any other for acute throat aud long diseases, such as coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough. wsu "WINTER WISDOM. Exchange. Don't be afraid of fresh air, bat avoid draughts. Don't go out of doors for a second witbont extra covering. In selecting yonr winter npderclolhing choose that which is warm and yet more or less open In texture. Take off your overcoat when you enter a warm place, wbether office or private dwelling, even it your visit is to last only three minntes. If jou catch cold or develop a cough, get rid of it at once. This is better than feeling -Dine" and thinking that pneumonia or consumption has marked yon as a victim. The best remedy for a cough or cold (how ever stubborn), or a sudden chill, is pure whis key. A dose of whiskey in water will impart a generous warmth to the whole body and keep off the diseases of the season. Don't fqrget that only pure whiskey should be taken. .Duffy's Pure Malt whiskey has the strongest recommendations from the leading doctors as to its efficiency, and from the most prominent scientist as to its purity. It is the only standard medicinal whiskey. Take no other from yonr druggist. w Office of Westingtiouse Electric ) and Manufacturing Company, J PITTSBURG, Pa.. Jan. 24, 1S9L J PREFERRED STOCK.
