Improvement Deferred bj Causes Over Which Man Has No Control. GLENWOOD LANDMARK PICKED DP. Ground Abont to Be Broken for Two Warehouses of the First Glass. THE FEATURES OF LOCAL SPECULATION Business, both local and general, was heavily handicapped last week by bad weather, grip and labor trouble. Monday was the only fair day. That hopes of a revival failed to materialize was accepted iu a philosophic spirit, since the causes were apparent to the most careless observer and thinker. Business is ready to move forward at the first opportunity, but it cannot make headway against the elements. Bnt with all the drawbacks the volume of local trade was respectable, as the Clearing House returns show. With the removal of temporary diffi culties there will be a quick improvement. Good crop prospects and abundance of money aro encouraging factors. Big Deal at Shadyslde. W. O. Stewart closed an important trans action in real estate yesterday. He sold for the Yoder Land Company lots 10 to 15 inclusive, located iu their Ardshlel-Terrace plan, on Murray Hill avenue, Shadyslde, adjoining the Female College, for 825,000. The purchaser is a well-known East Bud lady, and her intention is to erect at once on this ground ten handsome dwellings, costing In all between 575,000 and 5100,00a Another Move at Glenwood. The Blair Steel Works property, at Glen wood, comprising between three and fonr acres of ground, with an ironclad bmlding of little value, changed ownership during tho w eek at a price sal d to approximate 30.000. It adjoins the tract acquirt-d a few months ago by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which leads some to suppose that the railroad company was the purchaser. Hut a gentleman conversant with the deal said yesterday that firebrick ma chinery was being delivered on the premises, which led him to believe that the purchasers were engaged in the iron trade and that they proposed to repair the mill and put It In opera tion. It has been idle for several years. They Are Not Dlaconragod. Two improvements of considerable impor tance will soon be under way. Mr. W. L. Kann has succeeded iu getting the tenants off the property on new Grant street, near Seventh, lately leased by him from Mrs. Scbenley's agent, and the work of razing the old buildings will begin this week, weather permitting. Plans for tho new structure are ready. It will be about the size of the Bindley Duilding, rd joining. The other improvement referred to is that of McCune & lire, a large warehouse on Ferry street, between First and Water. The architect announces that he will soon be ready for bids. land Valnos Maintained. It is worthy of remark that the depression in business, of which one bears more than he sees, has not affected land values. They are as firm as at any former period. This shows that owners regard the present lull as only tempo rary, bo long as the working people evince a disposition to become proprietors instead of renters, there it no danger of a reaction in real estate. The constant accessions of acreage show tho existence of a demand sufficient to maintain both interest and price, borne may question the statement that values are as stiff as when daily sales were numbered by the score, but they hare only to approach an owner with a proposition to purchase to find out their error. Real estate is good stock in a growing city like Pittsburg. Bonds Have More Grip. A bond specialist says: "Transactions have been light. At the same time the inclination ot the trading has been In the direction of slightly better quotations. This tendency is shown in the firmer position of many of the leading speculative and low-priced securities, notably Atchison bonds, Denver Is, Erie 2s. New Albany consols. Mobile and Ohio Is, and some other less prominent issues. State bonds have been quiet and Governments neglected." At yesterday's call 1HK was bid for Panhandle 7s. and 101 for Citizens' Passenger Railw ay 6s. For Pittsburg and Western 43 78 was bid, with offers at 83. Another Brick Plant.

It is underlaid with a fine quality of clay, which the purchasers proDose to transform into brick. They will begin the erection of the necessary buildings at once. Business News and Gossip.

The Baxter, Thompson 4 Co. excursion party to attend the opening sale of lots at Sylacauga, Ala., on the Sth. will leave this city on Tues day evening next in a special car. A 75.000 investment at bhadyside will eive that locality quite a boost, and no doubt stir up business elsewhere. Such things are con tagious. Financiers were In good spirits yesterday over the fine record for the week. It is better than in lbS9 and not hopelessly behind 1890.

THE WBEK Iff OIL Longest Period of stagnation In the History or the Trade. There was practically no oil market last week, not a single sal having been made on tbs local board. The only bid yesterday was 73. Thsro were no offers. The highest bid of the week was !Zi ana the lowest 72 There have been many other periods of stag nation, but nothing to eqnal this. The outside buyer has as completely disappeared as if he had never existed. The Standard Is master of the situation, and as it has always been hostile to the exchanges, no change In its attitnde can reasonably be expected. Producers must help themselves. Brokers who favor changing the manner of trading by going back to the cash system and cutting loose from all entangling alliances think it will broaden the market by interesting outsiders, and causing sufficient fluctuations to make trading attractive. These seem to be good reasons for the change. It can do no harm in any event, and may do good by lifting a great interest ont of the rut. Other Oil Markets. New Yoek. April . Petroleum continues narrow, the opening of May option to-day be ing Bteady, but no movement in price occurred, and the market closed dull at 73. Total sales, 15,000 barrels. HOME SECURITIES. Unsatisfactory Business for the Week, bnt Valnes Well Sustained Philadelphia Gas and Electric In Demand Luster's New Issue Philadelphia Trust Stock. There was no business at yesterday's stock call.

Business for the week was light, sales aggregating only 730 shares, over 690 of which were furnished by Electric Price changes in most cases were restricted to fractions. The Westtnghouse group was stronger for the week, closing at or near the highest point. Other properties, with few ex ceptions, were steady. At Boston yesterday Electno coquetted around 11, about the same as here, allowing room trading no chance to scalp. There were more buyers and sellers for both Philadelphia Gas and Electric, showing confidence that the affairs of both companies are improving. in regard to Philadelphia Trust stock, a broker said yesterday: "The Impression is that It will be called in and replaced with regular stock, as tho purpose for which it was put out seems no looger to exist. Regular stock was exchanged for it, to serve the company In an emergency, on an eqnal basis, and it is no more tban fair to return it to the original holders." The new issue of Luster mining stock, it was ascertained yesterday, is nearly all subscribed for. The premium on the new stock on;change was 1.10, but none of it was on the market at that figure. On tho street 12 was bid for 1,000 shares. A good many would like to know what the committee ot Cbartiers Gas stockholders is doing in regard to the examination of the com pany's affairs.

A Comparatively Live Day on Wall Street, and Entire List Higher Bonds Also Active An Unfavorable Bank Statement Accounted For. New Yoek, April 4. Tho stock market to day was moro active than on any previous day of the week, and In the main showed a decid edly strong tone, and some marked advances were scored among the few stocks which led the market. Iho bank statements were not as favorable as expected, hut the decrease of over $2,000,000 in the surplus reserve was nearly ac counted for by the increase In loans, and the statement, on the whole. Indicates that the movement of money from this center Is nearly over. The bullish feeling ran comparatively high In the early trading and Sugar, Cordage, the Grangers and Manhattan all rose rapidly while tho Grangers, Sugar and Chicago Gas are specially active. Reading was a weak point on realizations on tho sharp rise of the last few days, but 1 per cent marked tho extent of Its recession. The general list was as neglected as usual, and among the greater number of stocks traded in there was scarcely any perceptible tendency in prices, but the dealings in the leaders gave J character to the entire list The upward movement attained its limits after 11 o'clock and before the publication of the bank state ment, after which there was a slight recession In the list, with comparative dullness in the late trading. The close was quiet and rather heavy, but still at or near the best prices of the day. The entire list is higher to-night and Chicago Gas is up 1, Sugar, , Kock Island, 1J4, and Sugar preferred, 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were also comparatively ac tive, the sales of all Usues reaching 817,000, which was very evenly distributed. Louisville. New Albany and Chicago consols made an other spnrt of 2 per cent to 98, but there were no other movements of importance throughout the session. The exports of specie from tho port of New York last week amounted to 1,771,331, of which 1,519,796 was in gold and 251,635 silver. The Imports of specie durinir the week amounted to 19,581, of which 17,057 was in gold and 2,521 silver. rbe foilowlne table shows me prices or active stocks on the Mew York Slock Exchange yester day.

The Speculative Horizon Has a Decidedly Bullish Appearance Bank Statement. Watson & Gibson wired the following to Johu M. Oakley & Co. There is much in it of interest to investors. Next weektin conjunction with the Farmers' XiOau aud Trust Company of this city, we shall bring out here ;S50,000 preferred and $100,000 common stock In the Connecticut Breweries Company. The former is an 8 per cent stock and guaranteed as such for five years by the venders of the breweries. The earnings during the last two years average 10 per cent, on the amount of common stock now put out, in addi tion to S per cent on tho amount of preferred stock now created. We believe the stock to be a safe and profitable Investment. The Northern Pacific Company's gross in crease of 187,073 for February, which was pa raded before tho public in daily installments, is cut down to 51,212 net owing to an increase of S135.831 in operating expenses. Those who gave out the daily increase in gross earnings were of course not able to give out the daily increase in operating expenses. For the fourth week of March the comparative loss was 26,916. The prevailing opinion In Wall street is bull ish. In tact this opinion Is almost unanimous. The short interest has been driven out for lack of margins or encouragement. Bears have been depressed by the tenacity with which stocks are held, and they have lost money on that 6ide. The bulls as a class are very much out for the past six months, but they are in fine feather again and are predicting a revival of speculative interest. Now with all the bull talk and strength there is no speculation outside of Wall street. Perhaps it will come, but if not and anything should start a selling movement the cliques would have to support prices or they would tumble badly. The bank statement shows a loss ot 2.000,000, which brings the present reserve down to a sur plus ot JC.400,000. There is no uneasiness as to money rates, and as business is slack there Is no reason for apprehending stiff rates unless a big bull speculation should spring up or heavy gold exports should be made. Tho market closed strong, with the general expectation of higher prices Monday. Philadelphia Stocks. Closlne quotations of Philadelphia stocks, fur nished bv Whitney A Stephenson, brokers.

The publio school here closed last night with an old-fashioned school exhibition, consisting of essays, dia logues and declamations. The programme started off with a prayer by the loeal minis ter, followed by addresses of the trustees.

The two com- batants stripped to the waist and fought five . 9 vicious rounds, blood flowing freely. Eeed . f "W was knocked out, and the fun ceased. m MAEKET8BY WIRE. Heavy Operators Make a Dash at Wheat and Break, the May Option Freezing Weather In the Northwest Provisions Also Let Go. CHICAGO A concentrated drive was made by some of the heaviest operators early to-day, and they wero powerful enough to maintain throughout the entire session the advantage secured at tho start. The result of theda's operations in wheat was a break inilay of lc Corn, oats and provisions acted in unison with wheat. Tho.entire crowd started to underbid each other. Offers to sell were all the way down from 1 05 to SI 04, and there was no buying to speak of at over the lowest of thoso prices. Trading was enormous for a few minutes, but a vast number ot selling orders in the hands of commission houses limited around 1 05 were Impossible of execution. it was difficult to account for the very sudden change. Freezing temperature was general all over the winter wheat belt, and a further delay in spring wheat seeding was the promise of the weather conditions in Minnesota, the Dakota", Iowa and Nebraska. From 1 VZ May wheat recovered to 1 04, hesitated which direction to take next, then slumped to 1 03 The market lifted itself in a weakly manner when the closing cables to the Board of Trade came in, reacting May to 1 03: but although those foreign advices were of unusual strength there was no further response, and the bears continued in possession to the close, which was at SI 03 for May. The corn market started with sellers at 6So for May and 65c for July, The few sales which could be ellected at these prices at the opening were tho highest prices that could be effected all day. Weakness became very pronounced, and a decline immediately to 67o took place before It rallied again. There was a recovery to Gsjc, and fur some time business was quiet, and the fluctuations con fined to the neighborhood ot 67o and GSc, but it again broke loose and slid off to 67c. recover ing slightly, touching 07c and closed at 67o bid, or lc lower than it did yesterday. Oats followed tho other cereals pretty closely. The market was excited at the opening, when May sold at 51c, with a few trades as high as 5454c, and others at 54c The price went off to 64c, fluctuated around 5454c, and closed at the point 53c indicating ja de cline. The hog market was quoted considerably higher at the yards, and influenced by that, the provision market started strong. The weak ness in grain of all kinds turned prices down, and the closings wero at near the bottom of tho day's range. Hie leading fntures ranged as follows, as cor rected by John M.
