THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH.' TUESDAY, MARCH- 17, 1891.. IT THE HUMP REYIYED. A Correspondent Kajs It Is Stand ing in the Way of Improvement. LOXG LEASES BUUTIKG THE POINT. The Change in the System of Selling Kealty Beneficial to Layers. THE SEWS A.D GOSSIP OF THE CITY In reply to an article in this colnmn, tinder the caption. "Business Shut Out," in Friday's issue, "A Daily Reader" says: "Your statements are usually correct, but not quite so in regard to property owners. Itnorovements at the Point are delayed by long leasee Property near the court house, on Wylie. Fifth avenue, High, Tunnel and other streets, is delived by the city fathers. Tney will not :iv if the Hump will be cut off or not. Therefore property owners cannot get the grade on these streets to build." Another correspondent, ''Progress," writes from JlcKeesport: "Your statement the other dav mat 'property in JIcKeeport commands nbiut as high a price as it does in Pittslnnc. lurtiug a few or the principal streets.' was not much out of the way. Tins city is building "P "'J fast- Outsiders are flocking.iu in share our prosperity. This en larges the demai.d lor propel ty and stiffens prices, iluildiug sites are going off very fast. A uumlier if l:andmic improvements are in lirogrci ami tnanv more are unaer considera tion." We eipct t ouite a boom here the coming summer, 'iue eight-hour agitation is theuuly thins that sUntls In tbe way, and I think it will be settled without a i-tnke. A Change for the Rotter. The old method of handling real estate has given place to one based on modern business Ideas. In most cases the baser now dealith agents instead of owners, and instead of spend In; days and perhaps weeks looking up such property as lie waut, 'ic ba. only to makeliis wishes knuwu to a broker, and iu a twinkling ce is handed a large list to select from. This emes him taonej, time and trouble, for house hunting must be classed with the vexations of life. He is more likely to secure a bargain too. lor the broker, anxious to make a sale, will put tbe puce down to the lowest notch. The change bas been beneficial 10 all interested in real estaie. bu: principally to tbe working people. It is easier to buy and pay lor a home turner the new system than it was under the old. Ibeie Ss another phase of the question that deserves notice. ince it confinttie Atatenient that the ne wut Is an improvement on the old. Ten years ago. more or less, agents had to tell houses on almost cash trrru. .Now they are offering the same descriptions of property on terms that ainoui.t to about the same as moderate rents. Then it was next to impossi ble for an one, unless he was prepared to put tip the s-a&h. to become a proprietor; now it is comparatively easy for auj' industrious, frugal man to buy a home and pay for it practically on his own terms. Eusiness News and Gossip. Uncertainty as to whether the "hump" will "beienioved or not is, it seeni. delawng im provement in the Grant street district. The question should be definitely settled one way or another. It is said that the St. Peter's Episcopal Church property has been defi -'tely withdrawn from the market. There never was much pro sure to sell it. Fine manufacturing sites abound in tbe vicinity of Brinton and Turtle Creek. Those who think this kind of property is scarce are mistaken. Henri M. Long yesterday sold $13,000 Pitts burg and Western 4's at 79. Colonel W. A. Herron. ot W. A. Herron & Eons, is confiued to his bed by rheumatism. His condition yesterday was somewhat im proved. The demand for mortgages is fairly good, And houses are renting like riot cakes. Do?ton was bullish on Electric yesterday. It was strong there in the afternoon around 12.

Brighter Prospect and a Better Feeling Electric Again Boosted by Boston Snitch and Signal Clipped a Trifle Other Features. The local stock market yesterday was domi nated bj a better leeling than had prevailed for Some time previously. There was a liberal (supply of ordeis. and the weather was bright and biaciug. News from abroad was more en couraging, and crop reports were of a favorable nature. Electuc was weak at the opening and showed so speci.il change until the last call, when Boston bulled it up and sent some buying orders heie Tins was sufficient reason fur an advance, and from HJi bid at the opening this stock moved np gradual! v until it sold at 12. Jt closed steadj at 12 bid and offered at 12J Talk on Change and on tbe street was to the effect that Mr. Westingbouse was almost cer tain to succeed in bis negotiations. The sec ond extension expires on Thursday. Whether another will be asked for or taken is cot known. home expressed the opinion that the full amountot preferred stock would be subscribed lor bv that time. Philadelphia Gas closed a good fraction bet ter than tbo opening on reports of large earn ings and a better supply of fuel. Airbrake was rtronger on the dividend, being bid up to 93. Switch and Signal preferred, lacking the stim ulus of a dividend, was weaker. The common also lost grouud, notwithstanding the opinion generally entertained that it will show up bet ter under the new management. It is probable round lots would bring more than tbe board quotation Luster added half a point to its credit, Sil Terton waB steady. The fractions were feature . ess. There was very little inquiry for bank 'and Insurance stocks, but there was consider able of the latter in tbe market.

MONEY MAEKEZ Local Business Better Titan the Clearing House riguros Indicate. The local money market presented the same features. and conditions yesterday as for some time past.

Rates were exchanged on the basis of GS7 per cent. Business is better than it appears as reflected in the Clearing House retnrns, the bnlk of the trading being tor cash. This Js shown to some extent hv the large depositing during the season. Tho fact that traders are able to get aloug without constant .recourse to the banks is also indicative of easy collections.

' KEW YORK STOCKS. A Decided 3fovemcnt In a Few Leadlnc; Shares Relieves the General Stagnation. Advances From the Other Side Did Not at AH Favor the Balls. New York, March 1G. The stock market opened tbe new week with a semblance of act ivity, but this soon disappeared andthe usual stagnation in the general was relieved by tbe decided movements in a few of tbe leading shares, while these were generally downward. More attention was paid to Lackawanna by the bears, and that stock shared with Burling ton the leadership of the market The bulls had expected to hear some favorable news from the other side, but the advances from that quarter were oC a neutral character and had no influence upon the course of prices either way. The support which the market bad last week from tbe coveriug of shorts seemed to be lacking anci luc mat. uour, auu woue me west was credited with having some orders in the West ern stocks a large proportion of them were evidently selling orders. Tbe trading, how ever, was still principally professional, ana except irj the specialties prices got but small fractions away from the opening figures, which, however, were generally higher than Satur day's closing. The impetus of the strength ot Saturday was sufficient to send them up frac tionally but Rome and Watertonn. which had opened up H Der cent at 132, reacted to 130. The traders and bears then made a sharp attack upon the coalers, and Lackawanna In pari ic ular, which carried that stock down 1J, while the rest of the list followed witn fractional losses, the report that Burling ton's earnings for February would be unfavor able, making that stock tbe leader. Dullness and stagnation took tbe place of the animation displayed and not until well into the afternoon was there any change, but toward delivery hour new buying orders were put into the mar ket and decided strength was shown for the re mainder of the session, accompanied by con siderable activity under the further covering of the shorts. Everytbtng reached tho highest prices of tho day and many showed material gains at tbe close, which was quiet but strong. Tbe final galus comprise Rome, Warertown and Ogdensburg. 10 per cent; Missouri Pacific, IJf : Northwestern. 1J: Sugar, li: St, Paul and Burlington each 1. and others iractlons. Railroad bonds were more active, the deal ings reaching 5,663,000. out of which Atchison incomes figured for 274.000, and Pittsburg and Western firsts S183.0U0. The market was firm to strong, and many material gains were scored, though tbe general list shows only small changes at the close. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and steady. The J'ofl says: There Is evidently someone who has started on a bear campaign against .Northern Pacific, as Is shown by the numerous anonymous letters of tbe net earnings and operating expenses sent to newspapers and in- uiy:uumb in ue ias wecic or two. The figures and the argument in all these letters are tbe same, viz: That the surplus of SL750.513 wbich was earned In the six months to December SL over and above tbe six months' proportion of fixed charges, and which amounted to 4?i per cent on the 36,909,853 of tbe pre' erred stock, "will be all wiped out by tbe end of the year to June 33, 189L" The amount required for the 1 per cent divi dend on the preferred stock Is J1.47C.SC0. so that even if there should be a deficit of 274,183 be low the fixed charges for tbe half year to June 30, there would still be enough surplus to pay the year's dividend on the preferred stock. At tbe end of January, 1890, tbo earnings of the Pacific showed a deficit of 321,000 below fixed charges up to that date, but ou June 30 this deficit baa been made up, and there was a sur plus 017367,000 over the mi months' .proportion of fixed charges. If the same should be tbeex iteripnceof this year, the Northern Pacific aud Wisconsin Central might run 500,000 below he three months' proportion of fixed cb.arj.ei for the first quarter of 1891 and make it up and a good deal more in the next three months.

An organization of ladies was effected yesterday that promises to be of invaluable assistance to the West Penn, the Allegheny General and Homoeopathic hospitals. The meeting was held in the latter institution and was well atteniied, being called in pur suance ot a circular sent out hy the Hospi tal Saturday and Sunday Association to many ladies requesting them to meet and form a similar organization. Sup'rintendent Cowan, of the "West Penn Hospital, explained to the ladie the 'reason of the call. He stated that in England tbe hospitals received their support from the Hospital Saturday and Sunday Association, which is mainly conducted by ladies. These ladies stand on the street corners at certain times of tbe year and take up a collection; others visit the business houses, and in this manner secure the aid needed, which, al though olten large, is alwavs more than met by the amount which is there so liberally subscribed. B. F. Benbow, agent of the HospiUl Sat urday and Sunday, Association testified also to the success or the movement bv tbe ladies in England. He said that several secure a sheet and stand on prominent streets, and there, with the sheet outstretched, receive the contributions. Iu Liverpool alone $200, 000 was raised last year by the ladies by this plan. Mrs. T. L. Eodgers said she thought the plan looked a little formidable; that on each Saturday the ladies should stand nn the street with a sheet. She was promptly as sured that only once a year would this be asked, and also that a box, instead of a sheet, could be used possibly to the same advantage.

The ladies deemed it best to wait until a meeting in the luture before tbey adopted any particular plan for raising money. The remarks of Mr. Cowan and Mr. Beubow bad been listened to attentively, but the ladies wished time to digest them' and formulate a plan which might be similar to that described or follow a different course. Be fore adjourning the organization was named the Ladies' Hospital Saturday and Sunday Association. The next meeting will be held Monday afternoon next at the same place, the authorities having offered the use of the hospital to the ladies. Early Spring Opening.

Monday is uniformly one of the quiet days of tho week in this line, and to-day was no ex ception to.' the rule. The supply of eges is scarcely up to demand and prices are a shade higher. ,In job lots 174c per dozen is the rate, but single cases were sold at 18c and even more. The scarcity of eggs is charged up by dealers to the late cold snap. High priced creamery butter the past week or two has had the effect of very much lessening the demand. The average consumer cannot afford to pay 40c per pound for butter and either refrains or takes the Imitation at one-half the price. The butter boom has been more profitable to deal ers in oleo than to dealers in the genuine article made from cow's milk. ""'' Apples S4 50Q6 50 a barrel. Butter Creamery, Elgin, 3S39e; other brands.

Wheat Works Up and Down on Foreign Ad vices and Increased Receipts Condi tion of the Crop Abroad Pro visions Active and Stronger. CHICAGO Ail of the early indications were for lower prices for wheat. The indications held good for some time.but tbe market finally improvsd sharply. The early selling had been overdone. There was a brief spurt upward at tbe outset, which was due to tbe higher prices prevailing at Liverpool. The spurt was soon over and values weakened because of receipts and because of a decline In French rentes. Later It was found that the lower quotation was due to tbe fact that tbe interest had been deducted and that values of tbe rentes were really higher than on Saturday. This was therefore turned into a bullish argument. When it became known that there was a re spectable decrease In tbe visible supply; that tbe country elevator stocks in tbe Northwest had decreased heavily, and that the early short sellers were anxious to get out there was quite a little advance iu values. , May wheat opened at 1 01, sold to 1 01K J 01 and off to 1 OOK. and then bulged to 91 uij. uinciai closing cables quoted i'aris ana Berlin lower, and caused a reaction here to 1 00 for May. Foreigners were freely sellers of JuiyinNew York." The large firms here seemed to have "scalping orders" early, as they were on both sides of the market at various times. During the bulge in prices Ryan bought 500,000 bushels, and Dunham and Driver each boutrht about half that auantitv. The London correspondent of Kennett, Hop kins &. Co. writes as follows undir date of March 7: "Wheat markets strong and advanc ing, tbe advance being more conspicuous in forward cargoes than in spot wheat, as millers only pay advances asked when forced to buy. There are continued and Increased reports ot damage on tbo continent, trom Holland, Bel gium and parts of Germany. Fears are also entertained ot damage havlag been caused by tbe severe frosts in Bulgaria and Russia, but those wo receive with doubts The reports from Spain are bad, those from Italy and Hun gary very good. Of course tbe damage done in France is of most importance. The minimum reanired to he reseeded is 3,500,000 acres, which is about 20 rer cent, of the total. The seed for this amount would seriously encroach on the foreign wbeat already bought, and there is great risk of spring sowings in France not com ing to maturity. Some of tbe replowed lands will be sown in other crops barley and beets. Victoria crop turns out a bumper. Possibly 10,000.000 bushels for export." Corn was flighty. Tbe trade was quite nar row. It w as an easy matter to advance values as few cared to go short ot the market. This was, of course, taken advantage of. Bartlett Frazier. who claimed that they bad sold more corn to New England points than at any time, in five months, attempted to buy a little May. There was none for sale. The market, which was previously inclined to drag, made a sharp jnmp upward. May started at COJic, sold to b0 to 62e and eased back to 62c Oats followed corn. May started at 50c, sold to &OJ4C and up to 51ic The market was nervous. Provisions fluctuated Ip a lively manner over an extraordinarily wide range. All of this range was upward from the opening figures Sellers were timid and shorts were trying to buy whenever values w ere advancing, but the trade at largo ran quicklv from liberal offer ings. May pork started at 10 85, sold to 11 25, off to 11 05. up to ill 35 and off before tbe close to 11 15. McCormick t Co. started tbe early bulge by liberal purchases around S10 90.

Bat Hotel Man Would Bather Be Any thing Than Lead tho Life. "Excuse me," remarked a hotel clerk yesterday, "I would rather be anything else than a drummer. These boys lead hard lives They rush into a hotel logging heavy grips, grab a pen and register in a hurry, and in a few seconds later are scurrying over tbe town bunting lor some business man. They wear big, woolly overcoats, and get most of their sleep huddled up in a car seat. "The drummer is the boy who doesn't lose much time, aud their employers bave be come so used to their activity that their hard work is not appreciated, but they are constantly on the lookout for a man who will cover a little more grouud and sell a few more goods. Merchants bluff them, cuss them as bores, but tbe experienced traveler is always the same. He wears that old smile whether bis heart be light or breaking. "Their consummate address and adroit ness of speech and manner are considered sublime gall, and the poor drummer is oth erwise misjudged and abused. My experi ence with them has been that they are a very decent and reasonable class. The average commercial man is not bard to please and is always good-natured." DEIBKS NINETY CUPS A DAY.

He has his breakfast in the Eastern fashion, fruit and coffee iu bed, and tiffin at 12 o'clock.

His little maid would bring iu fresb cups of it on a tiny tray, offering it ou her knees every hall hour or so. Sir Edwin writes the manuscript of his' poems with exceedingly few corrections in the same bold, .flowing, characteristic hand as he writes his letters. Sir EJwiu likes Japanese food very much.

The best beeves offered sold at 5Jc The range of markets was 4c to 5c Prices were higher at sonrces of supply, and tbe slight ad vance here failed to cover tbe increased cost, so that profits, if any, were very small.
