THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. THURSDAY, MARCH 19. 189L i , ' KEAL1T LOOKING UP. Good Weather EntUnses Bnjers and Encourages the Brokers. t I5SIDE HISTORY OF A BIG DEAL. A Xorthside Han Airs His Opinion of the rost office Site Connndrom. TWO UPTOWN PROPERTIES PICKED Ur Sellers and buyers of real estate are again coming together. A piece or" unimproved property on Ellsworth aTtnue, adjoining the residence of Josiah Stevenson, ironting 1G0 feet on Ellsworth and exlcndinj: back 430 feet to the Pennsylvania Kallroad, was sold yesterday by Sirs. Hary K. Fox, of Foxburg, to a well-known business man, for 1,000. The purchaser will build a line resi dence on the lot the cumlng summer. The property207and209 Wylie avenue, near Tonntcna street. Eighth ward, consisting of a lot 44x109, with a three-story brick and several small Iraine houses, changed ownership yes terdav for 410,600 cash, Mr. Robert McEldowney being"the purchaser. This is a progressive dis trict, and the price is considered very reason able. Mlmnlated by Good Weather. The good weather that has prevailed so far this week has had a stimulating effect upon real estate, with the result of more inquiry and better sales. Brokers were busy yesterdav showing buyers around, and a number of deals were started, some of which will be consum mated later on. The good demand and buoyant feeling show that there is nothing wroncith the market. All that it needs is a fair chance, and this will come nith settled weather. Cash !ales are so common as to excite remark. Tbev show tnat the neople have money and are not hoarding It. Tbo reason for the increased ac tivlty may, perhaps, be attributed to the tact tbata large number of buers who early in the jear thought the monetary stringency wonld cause a break in prices of realty have changed their minds and are again in the market. A Streak of Good Luck. There is a little story connected with the sale of the Pierce property in Allegheny. It is not even day that a customer can be found for a toO,000 residence. When the owner, who by the way will shortly lemove to St. Louis, made up his mind to sell, he went to W. A. Herron fc feonsto leave his order. They were not very anxious for the job and recommended another agent further up the avenue. He, too, ex pressed doubt as to bis ability to market the propertv, and advised the owner to put it in the hands of the brokers first visited. Ihis was done. As luck would have it Air. Cole was at that very time looking for a property of this iescriptlon, and dropping into the brokers' office a day or two after the order had been booked, and before any expense had been in curred, clinched the bargain at once by paying 1.000 hand money and the rest on Tuesday when the deed was delivered and the brokers pocketed 1,000 as commission. The other broker spent all of yesterday kicking himself. He declares he will never refuse another order A Close Secret. The selection of a site tor the Allegheny post office is still agitating the people on the .Nortli eide. It is generally conceded that the choice lays between Stocktoi avenue aud the Dia mond, but which one will bo taken there's the rub. In trying to throw Herat on this subject yesterday an Allegheny busmen man said: "While either of thetwositci would snit tho people, my own opinion is that Stockton ave nue will be selected. Property owners there think the same way. It is impossible to get an option on anything in that locality. There must be some ground for this feeling. My opinion is formed from remarks of an insurance official, who lately visiteJ Washington on a roivion of discover -. He didn't discoi er lunch, but came back with th opinion that Stockton avenue had the calL btill, there is nothing cer tain about it. Friends of the other site are hopeful. Owing totbosmallnessof the appro priation it is doubtful if anythiuc definite will be done before the next cesMou of Congress." Business "ews and Gossip. Business must be good to enable people to pay soot cash for property. A majority of sales are of this kind. Wood. Harmon Co. are rushing things down at Sheridan. There are attractions there for people of limited means. George Allender will build five two-story frame dwellings on Mount Washington this season. Baxter. Thompson &. Co. say: "We are en tirely satisfied with the condition and outlook of real estate. Every Indication points to an active mark u Inquiry and sales arc increas ing. We are closing up about a dozen deals, some of them of good size. There are a good many new buyers in the maikor, presumanly outsiders desiring to locate here. Values are firm." The most important of 3S mortgages on file for record yesterday was for S19.000. Eleven were for purchase money. An armv of carpenters and painters will soon be busy brightening things np in the suburbs. Blade & Baird say their business so far this month is as good as attbq corresponding time last j ear. Considerable brick sidewalk pavement on Firth avenue, in the Sohn district, will be taken tin this spring ana flagstones substituted. In creased business that will follow wdl more than pay the difference 2n co&t, C H. Love savs be has never known sucb a demand tor business stands as there is this spring. Outsiders have a better opinion of Pittsburg property than some citizens enter tain. George Smidt is making cood progress on bis block of 20 bouses in Eureka place. Mr. Har per is about ready to start 13 in the same locality. A membership in the Exchange sold yester day for $400, and J405 was offered for another. Tbev are worth con-iderably more money. W. A. Hernm fc Sons are placing the Palmer Place plan of lots on the market. The plot is located at Bwissvale station. Pennsylvania Bailroad. The lots are beautifully situated and of good size, being 50x120 feet. Prices are low and terms easy. Most if not all the stock bnyinc yesterdav was on local orders.

Nearly All tlio Interest Centered on the Westlngliouse Gronp Electric Improves Its Standing A Mysterious Trip East and the Villard Rnnior. Nearly all the snap of the local stock market yesterdav was displayed at the last call, the others being rather tame. Total sales were 1,070 shares, furnished by Electric, Luster.Phil adelphia Ga ana Switch and Signal. The entire Westinghouse group was stronger, but Philadelphia Gas and Switch and Signal went off a trifle at the close. Electric was sus tained by local orders early, and later by bull ish advices from Boston. It finished a good fraction better than the opening. The only important items of gossip af ccting this stock was the sudden de parture of Robert Pitcairn for the East some time Tuesday night or early yester day morning, presumably to confer with Mr. Westingbonse in regard to another exten sion, if it be deemed necessary to ask for one, which is lull in donbt, and the statement that negotiations are pending with Mr. Villard over a proposition by him to take $1,000,000 of pre ferred stock. Thrs report was generally dis credited. Confidence was expressed that Mr. Wcstinghouse would pnll through without this help. Good reports from the mine, and belief that Manager Pelbam would be able to convince stockholders at to-morrow's meeting that there was money in it, gave Luster quite a boost, but it was indifferently supported and lost the ad- TltllCft, The deal with the Baltimore and Ohio has thrown a few bnyicg orders for Pittsburg and Western preferred into the market, and it was bid up to 16. without bringing any of it our.

MONEY HAEKET. Clearing House Figures Show Business Is Slowly Coming Around. A moderate demand with plenty or funds to meet it.good depositing and moderate checking were the features of the local money market yesterday. Financiers do not regard tho flow of gold to Europe with apprehension. The stock is so large It cannot be easily depleted to the point of stringency. Besides, now that the French cncis is over and the Argentine pressure prac tically removed, there is no occasion lor keep ing up the drain. It has never been large. The Clearing House report was better than that of tbe day before, exchanges aggregating $1,935,278 70, and the balances, $308,606 88.

There was no oil market yesterday. Tbe opening and highest price was 73c, and the lowest and closing 73c Tbe East was bearish.

Tbe Export of Gold Not Checked by the Treasury Order The Share Market Chilled by the Shipments, and IJfeless and Declining:. New York. March 18. The refusal of the Treasury Deoartment to furnish gold bars, as has been the custom from time immemorial, failed to prerent the export of gold, as hoped by many, and tbe coin goes ont to-day, with the possibility of being followed by further ship ments in the near future. Commercial bills are scarce, and recent sales of securities for foreign account, together with the desire"of European bouses to strengthen themselves as much as possible, render tbe outgo iniperatire, ana the likelihood is that tbey would pay.eren more to get tbe metal at the present time. Tbe stock market, howercr. takes tbe ship ment very unwillingly, and tbe direct effect has been to chili the bullish feeling that was developing, and to check operations In the stock line asaln. The apprehension of bad news from London at any time Is a great factor in the making of bear opinion, and tbe check ciren to the broadening of the market which had made some progress during the last week, makes the bnll side rather unpopular, at least forto-iay. The bulls, however, bare not lost heart, and say tbat the exports of gold will bare but a passing effect. For the time being, however, the traders who bare principally tbe making of quotations are uneasy and Inclined to go slow. 1 be market to-day was, therefore, doll aud declining during most of tbe day, with little fea ture of special interest, though a tew stocks made marked movements which, however, were all in the direction of lower prices. The dealings were confined to the smallest limits thronghout the day, and only in spots was there any anima tion whatever, while the fluctuation in the gen eral list reflected faithfully the apathy of op erators for tbo time being. There was a slight rally toward the close, which wasdnll and fairly steady at close to the lowest prices of the day. Ihe final changes are, with one or two excep tions, fractional losses, though Mobile and Ohio is down 2; Colorado Coal, 1, and South era Pacific, 1 per cent. Tho trading reached only 117, the 13 listed and 21,855 unlisted, Burl ington contributing 23,711. Railroad bonds were qnlet thronghout, and outside of the Atchison incomes there was no activity, while the tone of the market was ir regular with afew material changes.. The sales were $1,034,000 or which $146,000 wero in the Atchison incomes. I riie following table snows tne prices or active stocks on the Mew York stock; Exchange yester day.

DOMESTIC MARSETS. A Scarcity of Hen Fruit and Drift of Prices Is Upward. MAPLE SYRUP AHD BUTTER WEAK. Grain and Bar Firm and the Tendencj Is to Higher Prices. GE0CEEI MOVEMENT MORE ACT1TE Office of Pittsburg Dispatch,'! Wednesday, March 18. J Country Produce Jobbing Prices. There is still a scarcity of eggs In our mar kets and prices are again advanced. Prospects of a full supply of eggs for Easter are not at present very bright. There are rumors of sales at 20c per dozen, but 19c is tho top of market for job lots. Creamery butter shows an in clination to go lower. Advices from "Elgin point to still further reductions before the week is out. Maple syrup is coming in freely, and demand Is not equal to supply, at lower rates than have prevailed .for several seasons. Tbe vield is reported large, and this, with the declining drift of sugar, has a depressing in fluence on markets. The top price of maple syrup is 90c per gallon, and at this price goes slow. With potatoes as tbe exception to tbe rule, vegetables are dull. Tropical fruits are fairly steady under advices of crop failure along the Mediterannean coast. Apples are firm, but movement is light, prices being too high for the average consumer. APPLES $4 5026 50 a barrel.

J Wednesday. March 18. ( There have been about 68 carloads of cat tle on the market this week at tbe East Liberty yards, against 60 loads last week and 90 the previous week. Sources of sap ply were Chicago, Indiana and Ohio. There were 26 loads trom Chicago. The propor tion of good and prime beeves was as it had been for several weeks past small. All told, there were about seven carloads of prime beeves iu tbe offerings, which were mostly from Ohio. The best Ohio cattle on the market weighed 1,600 pounds, and four loads were sold at $5 G5, which was top price in a wholesale way. Smooth, tidy butcher beeves of light weight were In light supply and markets were strong at last week's prices. For some reason un known to dealers, and to this editor, there was little inquiry for stockers, and sellers were forced to go elsewhere for a market. Afew were still unsold this morning. Fat cattle were all sold and at a shade better prices than last week, but It is doubtful If tbe increase here was sufficient to cover the increased cost at sources of supply. The whole tendency of cat tle markets is toward a higher level. As a proof of the upward movement, dealers in Chicago dressed beef have been forced to ad vance their rates in the past week or two. There was only a fair supply of fresh cows on sale this week, and old prices were fairly well maintained. Calves are in large supply and a shade lower. From 300 to 400 head were received on Tuesday, and range of markets was 6V to 6Vc Der cound. This is Uc lower than prices of last week. As tbe season for veal calves has now opened, according to for mer precedents, markets will decline for the next few weeks. A big run of calves might any day knock the bottom out of markets. A drop of lc per pound might come any day on a targe run. Sheep and Xauibs. Total receipts for the week so far have not been over a dozen double-deck car loads, against 18 loads last week and 15 the week be fore. There was a good demand for all the good sheep offered at last-week's prices, while lambs wsre fairly steady. Tbe top price for sheep was' $S 10, and for lambs $6 75. These prices are ob tained for only a few extra bunches. Iu a re tail way some extra lambs w ere sold at 7c per pound. A bunch ot 8 was sold at this fig ure. The prices given above for sheep aud lambs were only reached by a few. Tho offer ings were In the main of common and low grade, and fell far below the figures given. Hogs. There were 18 loads on the market Monday, and the total for the woek has been 25 loads against 35 last week and 50 the previous week. Markets have been active and strong all the week at an advanre of 25 to 30c per cwt over prices of last week. Best Philadelphia were selling this morning at $4 30 to $4 40, and de mand was good at these prices. The ton of the market at Chicago this morning was 4c per pound. McCall Sc Co.'s Weekly Review.

Wheat Higher Corn Makes s Bad Break Oats Quiet and Uninteresting Provi sions Easier and Doll News t From Other Markets. CHICAGO Wheat started out with a little show of strength, broke badly under heavy and general selling, and finally came back to and above ,the opening price again. The later rise was brought about by strong injections of bull ish news, which were fired into the market from every point of tbo compass. The eaily break was due to the BradstrceCa report of a very small decrease in available stocks of wheat east of the Rockies and a small decrease west. Large decreases were expected on both coasts. The strong news which helped to frighten short sellers later consistod of the purchase at St, Lonis of 75,000 bushels of wheat for export, the engagement at Duluth of 50,000 bushels of wheat to go all-rail to New York, tbe report from Tacuma that Washington had no more wheat to ship East, the prospect of another cold wave and the official closing cables, which quoted Berlin prices up equal to 2 cents per bushel and Paris 15 centimes higher on wheat. The latter, how ever, was 15 centimes off on flour. Miimine-Bodman sold an enormous line of wheat on the early break and bought it back later at higher prices.. Tbe ease with which corn was worked higher tended to Increase the nervousness.of the shorts in wheat and finally helped them to decide to cover. May wheat started at 81 01, sold for a moment at $1 0 broke to $1 0'Sl 0 recovered $1 01 and then broke to $1 00. The market recovered to and bung around $1 01 daring most of tbe morning and then lifted to $1 01 and finally to $1 o It was on tbis advance that many of tbe early buyers sold our. Receipts for tbe day at the 11 important markets were 404.O00 bushels; shipments, 207,000 bushels. Jirad street's reported a decrease of 430,000 bushel in available stocks east and an increase ot 150,000 bushels in available stock west of tbe Rockies. Corn was very deceptive. It started out quite strong, improved a mere trifle, and then broke badly; An attempt to buy a little grain on this break lifted it to tbe highest point of the day. The market for May especially was an unnatural one. The attempts to sell had as much effect in making low quotations as the efforts to buy had in making high ones. May started at 63jic sold to 63Kc off to BZc, up to 63c. The quantity of actual business done was small. Oats were auiet and uninteresting. Tbe trade was all of a scalping nature, and was pretty well scattered. The market was a sympathetic on. following corn close r. May started at 53Jic. sold to oSKc, off to 52Kc and up to 63Jic again. The provision market was easier and dull. On the call there was a little more firmness, but although corn became very strong, pork didn't manage to get as high as yesterday's closing prices. May started at $11 40. sold off to $11 20, up to $11 37, and off to S1122K- Tlie leading futures ranged as follows, as cor rected by John M.
