The death rate for the past week has not been as large as for several weeks previous. The Health Department to-day reports 781 deaths for the week, as against 934for the preceding week. MAEKETS BY WIRE. Not Much Snap In the Grain Pita Wheat a Trifle Higher Corn and Oats Tame Provisions Score a Hand- some Advance. CHICAGO The trading in speculatives was not animated to-day. In the wheat market the big local operators were alternately buying and selling in a way to make it difficult to say upon which side they did the most. Wheat averaged firm, and was principally affected by the accu mulating evidence that England and France required and cre taking considerable quan tities grown on the Atlantic slope. The close was at an advance of about lc over yesterday's closing quotation. The Government crop report was bearish and early cables were easier, opening price for May was abont as it closed yesterday and a good many selling orders were in the hands of brok ers at the opening; buyers, however, prepon derated, and from around SI 031 03J there was an almost immediate jump to 1 04. The advance was well maintained for the next two hours, with an occasional further gain of Jc A at. Louis dispatch advising 200.000 bushels loaded in barges here yesterday and to-day and a further 100,000 bushels to go out early next week together with a strong market cabled from Paris cauEed a sudden bulge in May to SI 0 and July, which started at SI 02 and had been maintaining Itself around SI 0-',i, made a jump to SI 03t The feeling was firm In the end without much accession of activity. May. which sold as high as SI 04. closed at SI 04 bid, and Jnlv. which had touched to SI 03, closed at SI 03. The weather was unfavorable to the grading of earn and tho demand for the daj's receipts was such as to put cash corn to a premium of lc over May delivery. Business was dull, and notwithstanding the very strong feature just mentioned, the shorts did not show any partic ular alarm. The lowest prices were made near the opening. Mav started at 07c to GTc, sold as high as 67JG7Jc and closed at oTJSoTJc Parties who are short of July oats are becom ing nervous in view of the lateness of the sea son. The sowing so far has been comparatively light, and if the woathcr should continue un favorable for the next ten days there would be little chance of getting new oats on the market in time to fill contracts. The market was very tame ilth prices confined within a narrow range. The provision deal developed considerable firmness ana advances were scored in the face of a continued free movement of hogs. The confidence of the country in the future of the price of hogproductsis a pleasant contempla tion for the packer's' and narchonsemen who are getting handsome carrving charges. The ditference between May and July ribs at present represents a heavier rate for carrying than was paid during the mouetarv stringency of last year. May pork advanced 12Jc, and July, 7JJc Laid gained 2S5e, and ribs, 2)c. The leading futures ranged as ioiiows, as cor rected by John M.

Italians' Looking for a Tract of Land on Which to Colonize. BILL BIDE AND HILL TOP VALUES. Comparison Between Keal Estate in Pitts burg and tho Booming West. FEATDEES OP LOCAL SPECULATION The Italians or this city are looking abont for 25 to 30 acres of cheap ground as a site for a colony. Their idea is to become citi zens and get their own homes in some part of the city where they can build together and be strong enough to acquire influence and command respect. Two or -three lo cations are under consideration. Fortunes in Hillside Lots. Forty years ago the late James McGin ness began, upon very small means, the pur chase of exceedingly cheap property along the valleys and hillsides of Soho. No other person wanted it, and he bought it at a cost of about HO to 5100 per lot Hany years ago it was said that he would not buy any thing in the shape of ground that could not shed water as fast as it would fall, except the site upon which he lived and died. He broke stone for a living on the Pitt township roads in early days, and finally became super visor for the Mechanics' Turnpike Company, where be relieved the monotonous peregrina tions over township roads, by looking after hillside lots that in after years brought him a fortune. He was a long-headed man. He foresaw the occupation of the lowlands and valleys by in dustrial plants, whose employes must have homes, and he had satisfied himself that the level lands through Oakland and about Soho held by Craft, Breed, Zug, Qauam, Tnstin, Wilkins and others would not be broken in upon by tempting offers for at least a quarter of a century. When he got his price for a lot he sold it, but he never sold unless he got $5 or S10 for every dollar that he invested, and be would just as soon take a flat mortgage witn 6 percent interest as the cash. He wanted his interest promptly and be got it, and the inter est for one and a half years pretty generally equaled the original investment. He very rarely put a "for sale" on anything he had, but the people out in that section knew when they could Bee a goat making itB way along intricate paths, or 45s slopes, that the property belonged either to J ames McUinness or Senator Gazzam, ana that anyone that would pay the price could have it. He loaded up with the cheapest and most worthless stuff that nature ever produced, and totally unworthy the name of real estate. He sold it, however, and at big prices, for at the time of his death he left an estate valued at 500.000. after having taken life easy in a very pretty home, for 23 years. The ordinary dealer would not look at land of thi3 character now, and one could hardly run fast enough, after most of them, to give it away, and yet there is no class of property that brings greater returns to the fellow that waits. Poor people always have been and always will be in the majority. They are the put chasers and the consumers, and along these hill sides you will sooner or later find their arbors and trailing vines, lately anchored by natures tendrils. The Southslde Germans would not bny anytbing for a home that did not have a fall of at least 40 feet to the 100. and it is well known among real estate men on that side of the river that level hill top lots hear nocom parison in price to the shaggy, craggy, rock ribbed lots along the almost insurmountable and overhanging hill sides. Fleeing to the Hill Tops. Frank Kohne sold a ten-acre tract at the head of Hazelwood avenue to John Larkin for 15,000, in April, 1S90. There was some dispute aboat the details in closing np the sale, and it was declared off. bix months later Mr. Kohne sold the same ground to the Schenley Park Land Company for 18,000. Mr. Kohne would like to get it back again at S20.000, and thinks he could cut it into 100 lots and sell it ont at $35,000. The entire absorption of everything on the lower level of Glenwoodand Hazelwood for manufacturing purposes Is driving every, body to the hilltops, where nine-tenths of the land is controlled by syndicates. Keal Estate Out West Mr. J. C. Alles, of Alles Sc Bailey, has just re turned from a six-weeks' trip through the Western States, Southern California and Mex ico, and in an interview yesterday gave his im pression and views on real estate In those parts, and especially in regard to valuation as com pared with Pittsburg. Mr. Alles said; "In Chi cago real estate has quite a boom, the World's Fair being the augmenting factor. For 20 miles around the city they are selling what they call town lots and building bouses on stilts in the swamps. In my opinion the bulge will not last, and after the Fair real estate will be a drag on the market" From Chicago Mr. Alles went to Hot Springs, Ark., and thenoe to El Paso, Tex., which is a flourishing little city. Del Norte, a Mexican town, was next visited. It contains the oldest church in America. Los Angeles was the next stopping place, ot which he said: "it is the worst place in regard to real estate that I struck during my trip. It is in a chaotic condition. Hotels, opera houses and street car lines are in an unfiulsbed condition. People viho went there and invested thousands of dol lars in real estate were glad to realize one-third of their outlay. The great trouble thero is lack of money. Southern California was badly crippled bv the land boom of a few jears ago. Costly buildings wore started in many places and left balf finished. A hotel to cost a quarter of a million dollars was built up to the second story and abandoned. In one case a street can lino naa been duue out ten mnes wimout a house on the route." Of San Francisco, Mr. Alles said: "This is the great real estate city of the West. Trans fers are important in number and value, and prices are very firm. The only drawbacks aro the rapid growth and prosperity of the cities of Seattle and Tacoma. They are diverting a great deal of Pacific coast trade from San Francisco. Seattle has already become a great shipping point." Of Denver be said: "Real estate here is at a standstill, prices being entirely too high. Puelflo has to a great extent taken the place of Denver as a mining center. Most of the large smelting works are located there." In conclusion, Mr. Alles paid a high tribute to Pittsburg. "Heal estate here," he remarked, "is low as compared with Western cities, al thougn there is abundant reason why it should be higlier. We have more manufactures and larger resources to draw upon. I anticipate a bright future for Pittsburg industries and real estate." A Progressive District. The East End district keeps on spreading out toward Hawkins and Braddock. It is a big district and prices aro accordingly high. The man who has 30 to 40 acres anywhere between braddock and the Court House and near tho line of the Pennsylvania railroad, is in a fair way to become a millionaire. Business News and Gossip. Electric weakened still further after call yes terday, selling down to 13. The volume of local business last week was an improvement on that of the previous week. There was a better demand for money and stock trading was more active. The locating of tho Carneglo Library build ing at Schenley Park entrance on Forbes street, will increase the value of Oakland property 25 per cent, at any point between Mey ran avenue and Roup street, now Negley ave nue. The reflective value of a 52,000,000 build, leg in an already beautiful suburb can hardly be estimated in dollars and cents. It is said tho Brown heirs have been offered a handsome price per acre for their entire hold ings in the Twenty-third ward. Mr. Burchfield would not talk abont it, though he probably knows what is going on in that ward. George B. Hi 11 & Co. were the principal buy ers of Electric at yesterday's stock sale. Sell ing orders were Bald to have come from Bos ton. W. C. Stewart has ust let the contract for grading and opening streets through the Glass property at Sharpsburg. It consists of 15 acres, and has been subdivided and named Highland Park. Lots will be sold on the in stallment plan. A. 11. Kennedy, of J. B. Larkin &Co., has had two attacks of the grip lately.buthassbakon off both without going to bed. He says that a morning and evening walk to Allegheny and two walks a day through the Oakland alstnct are a sure preren ivc. Samuel W. Black has great faith in the fnrure or this city.

Reported Westinghonse Circular a Boll Fake Boston Caught but Pittsburg Too Wary A Reaction Follows and the Mock Takes a Tumble. The local stook call yesterday was a narrow gauge affair, the only properties handled being I FlaAtvlM t3hllaBlnTif fZaa a n rl Tna.a- rTk.. reaction in the former took the bloom off the rest of the list. Central Traction, Luster and Standard Cable were the strongest features. There were no particularly weak spots. Banks and railroads received considerable attention, but buying orders were below the market and none of these stocks changed hands. The reDort that Mr. Westinghouse had is sued a circular to stockholders, turned out, as many expected, to be a joke. Denial was made not only by Mr. Westinghonse, but by an of ficial of the company in this city, who said in positive terms yesterday that not only had no circular or statement been Issued, but none was expected for several days yet perhaps not before the middle of the month, to which time Mr. Westinghouse has practically taken an extension. The report of the issuance of a circular is thought to have originated in New York to bull the stock. It caught Boston napping, where a buying movement set in and value bulged; but it found few victims in Pittsburg, where former canards about the same business have made people cautious. Boston realized the deception yesterday and ohanged base, even sending selling orders to Pittsburg. The reaction carried pnoes down at both places, and a weak and nervous feeling prevailed at the close of business. The result of the week's operations on the local stock board was to leave nearly every thing higher than at the beginning, even Elec tric showing a gain of nearly two points, al though closing about $1 a share below the high est. Sales for the day were 430 shares, and for the week 4,085, of which 2,267 were Electric.

THE WEEK IS OIL. Change of System Falls to Bring Grist to the M11L The event ot the week in oil circles was the changing the manner of trading on 'Change, by which the old system of cash first and op tions secondary was restored. The market, however, moved along in the old rut, there be ing no improvement in outside interest. The change, it is believed, will In time help busi ness especially if the visible stock continues to increase. There was no market yesterday so far as sales went. The only bid during the session was 72Kc. At the finish oil was offered at 72Me. Outside exchanges were weak and dull. The highest point touched during the week was 73c and the lowest 72c. The final quota tion, therefore, shows a fractional galu. Other Oil Markets. Beahtokd. April 11.

The Quiet Ending of an Active Week The Market Bearish in the Morning, but the Losses Nearly Reoovered Bonds Again DaH. New Yobs. April 1L The stock market to day was nothing more than the closing up of an active week, and the trading was compara. tively small, while a drooping tendenoy marked the general list and the bears were onee more active and aggressive against the few stocks which they found vulnerable. There was a lack of Interest In the dealings on the part of the bulls, and for. the time being the market seemed to have gone back to Its former condi tion; but the opinions of bearish contingent gave it tone and character. The opening was steady and quiet, but the trading element was disposed to discount an unfavorable bank statement, relying on the heavy exports of gold, and the estimated loss br the Interior movement, which should have been in the neighborhood of $700,000. The pressure to sell, however, was confined almost exclusively to the Industrials and the U ranters, and Chicago Gas, Sugar, Burlington, Rock Island and Missouri Pacific in particular. The first two stocks were rattled off rapidly in the early dealings, Chicago Gas. losing 1 and Sugar IK per cent, while Rock Island, with a loss of 18. was the only other stock which de clined more than 1 per cent. The bank statement was considered rather favorable, with its insignificant loss in reserve, and with its issue was developed a desire to re coup the sales of the early dealings, which re sulted in a partial recovery ot the tormer losses. The general list presented no feature of inter est throughout the entire session, and the inac tive stocks were comparatively neglected. The market finally closed quiet and firm at the re covery. The final changes show losses of frac tional amounts in general, Chicago Gas being the only exception, with a loss of 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were quite dull, the tradingiu all issues only reaching $471,000, out of which the Atchison incomes furnished $101,000. The market sympathized to a limited extent with the heaviness in stocks, but no material move ment took place, and the final quotations show, as a rule, only slight differences from last pre vious sales.

Henry Clews Thinks the Wall Street Out look Is Brighter Why Speculative Se curities 6hould Improve Signs That Should Bring Confidoncoi r SPECIAL TXLIOBAU TO TBZ DXSFATCa.1 Nb-wYobk, April 1L Henry Clews, in his Wall Street Circular, says: During the past week, Wall street has sprung into new life and activity. The beginning of April has been ex pected to bring an improvement in the stock market; but the degree of recovery has ex ceeded anticipation!. The volume of transac tions has more than doubled, and prices have advanced almost through the entire list; but the best symptom coanected with the revival Is that it has comenot somuch from mere "room" influences as from an important aocesslon of ontside buying orders. The stimulns is not of the artificial kind that is sometimes manufac tured by professional traders or capitalists as sociated nith large corporations; it is mainly due to a simultaneous and natural demand coming from the public at large, and alike for transient and permanent investments This welcome change is due to several causes. It is the first clear and decided evidence that public confidence has recovered from the shock imparted by the crisis of last fall. And In that sense it means what many have suspected, that the damage inflicted by the panic was.due more to fright than to positive injury or widespread disaster. The mischief was more in the natnre of a derangement of the machinery of finance than in any general unsoundness of business at large or any sueh extensive insolvency as the Barings' suspension revealed among the Euro pean credit establishments associated with South American interests. The whole trouble lay in a comparatively temporary over-creation of railroad issues and a violent hitch in our cur rency arrangements', while the general trade of the conntry was In a sound and wholesome condition. Careful observers have all along felt that, when the publlo at large came to understand these actnal limitations of the bear ings of the crisis, there would be a prompt and effective recovery of confidence and a general return to normal conditions. All symptoms unite to indicate that we have now reached that turning point. The danger of monetary stringency has been greatly mitigated; for, on the one hand, the largely increased disbursements of the Govern ment will necessitate a distribution of the im mense cash balance hitherto held by the Treas ury, and, on tho other, the operation of the silver law will add 60,000,000 per year to the active circnlation. In addition to the increase arising from Our regular production of gold. It is also a factor of no small importance that, in the Western States generally, the Oranger hostility to the railroads shows a marked abate ment of its reckless hostility, and in almost every case bills of that character have been defeated. A still more direct stimulant comes from the hopeful agricultural prospects. The winter wheat crop is unusually promising while the weather is favorable to the getting In of the Spring crops; aud the fact that the outlook for the European wheat crop is discouraging suggests the probability of a good year for the American farmer. While the concurrence of the foregoing fa vorable conditions is calculated to develop a much more confident feeling as to the future of business, it is beyond question that the cur rent market value of securities is much below the average. It is true that the present gross earnings of the railroads show but moderate gains on those of last year; yet It is to be re membered that the traffic of 181K) was unusually large. It argues well for the general trade of the country that, in spue of the decrease in last year's wheat and corn crops, the earnings should show any increase whatever on those of 1S90. It seems therefore to be a reasonable assumption that the current business of the roads would warrant about an average range of prices for railroad securities: and yet their present value falls very much below the aver age. In view of the factors above reviewed, there appears to be a solid basis for an appreciation in the value of securities from this time for ward; and the probabilities of the situation favor a steady buying movement extending up to the fall months; especially should the crop prospects continue to develop as satisfactorily as hitherto. WALL STEEET GOSSIP. The Alton Boycott, Crops, Gold Shipments nnd the Money Marker. Watson & Gibson wired the following to John M. Oakley & Co. after the close of busi ness yesterday: There was enough momentum to the bull market to run Into open dealing this morning, but not enough to prevent a little reaction liter. The last prices were firm under the In fluence of a bank statement showing a los3 of only $700,000, when twice that amount had been expected. The market had the benefit of the Government crop report, od the condition, which, as we said yesterday It would be, was one of the best ever issued by the Agricultural Department. But it does not cover spring sown crops, for they are not yet in the ground, and the season is confessedly baekward. The cloud on the Western horizon just now, however, is the Alton boycott, which may easily lead to a railroad vendetta and the usual slaughtering ot rates. The Alton road has never extended its lines into the tar Wosc, and it 13 bottled up unless It is able to coerce the far Western extensions of the Chicago Missis sippi roads to deliver to it a fair amount of tonnage. If these roads combine against it, it can attract as much of that tonnage as it can carry if it can inflict such a blow to these large Western interests as to compel them to recog nize it. Then again there is the question of lake rates, which are in danger of collapse owing to light freight offerings and an excep tionally large fleet of steamers. The Kanawha Dispatch fast freight line, operating over the Chesapeake and Ohio, have cut seaboard rates. The large gold shipments this week are not reflected in the bank statement to-day, and more gold is likely to go hence this week. Money cannot be borrowed now upon high class dividend paying stocks for six months better than 5 per cent, and bankers are appre hensive of a loss of their entire surplus re servos. We can hardly think that money will be dear this summer though it may work closer for a few weeks. The first preferred stockholders of the St. Louis and San Francisco are not inclined to accept the Atchison 4 per cent bonds. The Atchison appear to confess that it got a "pig-in-a-poke" when it traded off S22.000 of Its own stock for which tnere was a wide market for what would seem to be a worthless lot ot com mon and second preferred stocks on the St. Louis and San Francisco. An ordinary busi ness man would have waited for the road to go into the hands of a receiver before buying its control. The Atchison was the only buyer for the stocks and a capital trade its holders made when they found a customer for it. Boston Stocks. Atch.
