OFFICE OF PITTSBURG DlSrATCH. I
Tuesday. April 21. i
Seeds and Agricultural Tools.
Seedsmen and dealers in agricultural im
plements are now in the midst of their busy
season. In general, prices of seed are much
Inciter this seaion than for a number of
years past. Potatoes and onions for planting
purposes are particularly high. The best
seed potatoes on the market are from Can
adian province, Prince Edward's Island
being a prominent source of supply for par
ticularly fincy stock. The best are selling
at ?2 per bushel, or $3 per barrel, and it is
all dealers can do to meet demand for the
best. These prices are luliy double
the rate for the average season. Seed
onions are scarcer than they have
been for a dozen years or more.
Jobbing prices are now S10 per bushel, which is
lull double the price ot a year ago. and. at the
hign price, supply is not up to demand. Ibe
home raised stock of seed onions was long ago
exhausted, and now it seems that stock Iruin a
instance is no longer forthcoming.
A week or two ago seed onions were coming
in from Erie, but for the last lew days that
source of suppls has been dried up.
&aid a Liberty s reel produce commission
merchant yesterday: "Everybody wants onion
tets at this time aud nobody has them. Ve
could sell much more than we can get, even at
the high price."
Another Scarce Article.
Another article in the seed line which is
scarce and higher than for the past 15 years is
blue grass. As will be seen by reference to our
domestic niaiket column blue grass of the best
duality it selling at 54 per bushel, a price double
that of a j ear ago. At this high price there is
a ereat dimcultj securing all needed to meet
orders. Notwithstanding high prices in seed
lines, the demand is active and volume of trade
this seaon so far is unusually large. It is
clear that a Iatger acreage than common will
be planted bv cardeners and farmers of this
vicinity. The' trade in agricultural implements
lias opened up welL
prices are practically the same this season as
last. Manufacturers in former seasons pur
sued the cut-throat policy of every man lor
himself, which meant the old Harry for all.
Now that margins hare become very nairow,
they hate come to an understanding and
prices are uniform. Said a representative of
one of our leading firms: "'We have done a
ranch better business both in seeds and agri
cultural implements than e had done at this
stage lat year. Our sales for the ruonih of
April, 1S9L are nearly double wnat they were
lor the corresponding period ot ISM. If the
amount of seed purchased is any sign, the
yield of garden andfaim produc's in the dis
trict of country tributary to Pittsburg, will
this season eclipse all lormer seasons."
The Coal Trade.
The wane of natural gas has very much
stimulated the trade in coal, which for the past
two years or moi e has been under a cloud. All
dealers in the old reliable fuel report a better
trade the past winter than since the advent of
gas for heating purposes.
A gentleman who is at the head of one of the
leading coal mining companies of the Cbartiers
Valley, in an interview estorday had this to
say ol the traae. "There has been no time for
aycar Past when we were able to meet all the
demands Tor our product. We employ close to
1UU miners, who woiL on an average about nve
Hours per dav, and would gladly put as many
more to work if we ottuld set them. In all the
coal mining districts around Pittsburg, reached
by railroads, it has been impossible to secure
as many miners the past winter as were wanted.
Our trade with the unper lakes has been almost
wined out because we wcro not able to fill
orders from that regiOD. Pittsburg's coal ship
ments to the lakes has not been more than 7a.
IJOO tons the pat season, while Ohio's trade to
the same region has been 730.00U tons in tho
same ueriod.
The Point of the Difficulty.
Our coal is superior to the Ohio coal, and is
preferred in the upper lake rezion, but we
could not fuiuish tbc goods. A few years ago
the Pittsburg district sent four times as much
coal to the lakes as it has done the past year.
A strange and rather funny teatuie of the
labor complications is that coal miners should
stuke for eight hours a day when statistics
prove that the miners of this district have
worked the past year on an average 5 hours
and 11 minutes daily. The company 1 repre
sent would be mighty clad if they would put
in 8 hours out ot the "1, for then we would he
better able to fill orders We could sell all our
output iu Pittsburg alone. The present price
paid to our miners is 79c per ton, and three
tons per day is a cood average, while some
take out four tons aud even more.
If the eight-uour rule were adopted, and it is
a Poor rule that won't wore for both sides, the
average output would be greatly increased."
MARKETS BY WIRE.
Hears In It heat Turn the Tables on tho
Hulls and Prices Go Scooting Down
ward Other speculative Pits
Also Let Go Heavy Selling.
CHICAGO Por several days past the bulls in
the wheit pit have had everything their own
way and the unluckj bears have been gored
and tossed uumircilully. It was the bears' turn
lu-dav, and they improved tho opportunity by
giving their opponents a rib cracking squeeze.
The n?t result of thedav's trading was a de
cline in May wheat of l?c compared with the
Hosing price jesteidaj, aud of 3c from the
highest point reached to-day. July declined
li.4c compared with yesterday's close and 3c
lrtm the lushest of the day. The weakness in
the leading cereal was taken advantage of in
the other speculative pits to depress prices, and
as a consequence, comparing prices with the
closing figures yeslcrdav, corn is off 1?b1Kc;
oats, JjC; pork, 30c; lard, 10c, and ribs, -Jvc.
iIil day started in with a flue prospect for
the continuance of the hull campaign. The
early cables indicated decidedly higher prices
abroad and commission houses were over
whelmed with buy inn orders. The result was
that the opening prices were from lc to 2c
higher than at the close yesterday. That was
the high point for the day. however. Ouce
started downward tho market showed small
recuperative power, and, with a few rallies on
lealizing purchases, continued to recede
throughout the session. July, which started
out with sales any w here from SI 13 to SI 13f
and sold to SI 13J. broke tn 1 11 on sales by
Bryant, Koche, Liun and Dnvei. and was then
lifted to SI 1 by purchases by these sellers
who were tiking prohis and by Hutchinson
and White Co. The selling on the bulge was
by the same people who engineered the first
break. This raid c-irried it down SI 11 Clos
ing cable from Liveipool and Antweip were
j-o much highei that it rallied to El 12, but re
newed selling sent it down again to Jl 10J. the
lowest point of the session. May started at
Jl 1C1 16. and following to the July lutuie
touched SI 12? as the low point
Corn was weak from the start. It started
out with sales from OHc down to 6Sc and
subsequently declined to G7c. Lons nere
disused to let go of their homings, and there
was a little more disposition among the bears
to sell it short.
Oats were quiet and ra'her uninteresting.
The did little more than follow corn, closing
at the bottom prices of the day.
Themaiket for provisions opened easy and
without xcitemcut at some decline from the
closing prices of the previous day, and contin
ned iu a drooping condition during the entire
session, being at their lowest prices tor the day
at the close.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

WORKING ON THE SLY.

OFFICE AND STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP
The fact that the Equitable Insurance
Company is putting up an 5800,000 buildiDg
in Atlanta was brought to the attention of a
Fourth aTenue real estate agent yesterday,
who remarked: "I think the Equitable, the
New York Life and some other insurance
companies, who hare made mints of money
here, should do something for Pittsburg in
the way of improvement. This would be a
substantial recognition of the good will and
support they have and are receiving from
this community. Although there is no pro
nounced movement in this direction, I think
the corarjany first named has the matter
uuder consideration. This company was in
the market last year, but the matter leaked
out and owners put up prices to such a
pitch that the agent was scared off. "What
ever is done hereafter will be on the 'no
talk' principle. I could mention two' sites
that are under consideration, but it might do
barm. Thor are Doth in the central part of the
city."
Values of Fark Property.
Leaving the propriety of locating, the Car
negie Library in Schenley Park to be
discussed elsewhere, there is no doubt
it will be a good thing for property
owners out there. On this subject Samuel
W. Black said yesterday: "Property in
the BellQeld district in the vicinity of
the park and library will. In my opinion, sell at
S200 a foot front within three years. It is now
held at from S75 to 1123. Improvements are of
such a character as to insure enhancement.
Property in Allegheny on streets running to
the park is held at from S200 to S300 a foot
front. Buildings for the most part are on
small lots, and generally without much attempt
at architectural display. Northside people,
however, are beginning to do better in this re
spect, and it is safe to say that buildings of the
futnrewlll be of abetter class than those of
the past. This will give valueB a lift."
Impressions of the South.
John F. Baxter, of Baxter, Thompson & Co.,
returned yesterday from a trip to the South,
taking In many of the leading towns and cities
in Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. He su
perintended a sale of lots at Sylacauga, Ala.,
which was successfnl beyond expectation. A
10,000 spindle cotton mill will be erected in
Sylacauga this summer. Mr. Baxter added:
"Land values in most of. the cities and towns
visited have quadrupled in the last few years.
Building is a notable feature, suggesting the
idea of permanent prosperity. So well pleased
were a nnmber of excursionists with the busi
ness outlook that they have already taken
steps to obtain control of several important
manufacturing interests. One of them secured
an option on 3,500 acres of slate and marble
land and proposes to establish works for their
manufacture. Hotels are overrun with East
ern capitalists looking for opportunities for
investment. The prospect for heavy crops en
courages the people to hope for a still larger
measure of prosperity.'"
Should Be Encouraged.
PittsDurg people are becoming more thrifty
and prosperous as the community crows older.
As a result of this the nnmber of home owners
is constantly increasing. The possession of a
bnlldlng lot, or lots, has become a rnling
passion. Ownership of real estate, mnch or
little, creates credit and exerts an influence
which can be acquired in no other way. One
piece of property stimulates a man to acquire
another, and so on until he finally takes pride
in public affairs. It makes him a better citi
zen. Tho feeling that every man should own
the house he lives in and the ground upon
which it stands has taken deep root here, and is
rapidly converting Pittsbarg into a city of
homes. It is a feeling that should be encour

Ontslde Attractions Cutting In on I-ocal
Trading, but Business Not Bad
Ups and Downs of the Day
Electric Still in the Dark.,
The revival of speculation in Wall street,
and the flurry in grain at Chicago bave been
deleterious to stock trading in Pittsburg, many
investors taking hold of the more active com
modities for a quick turn. Local business,
however, is far from stagnant, and the tendency
is toward a broader field of operations. Total
sales yesterday were 882 shares, of which 50
were Philadelnhia Gas. The other active prop
erties were Electric Citizens' Traction, Pleas
ant Valley, Luster and Cbartiers Gas.
The market was as barren of features and
incidents as possible. Philadelphia Gas was
steady, with more buyers than sellers. Char
tiers Gas sold down to 7, the lowest in its
history. Alanufacturers' Gas was bid np to
19, with none offered. Citizens' Traction sold
at 69, an advance. Luster was a fraction
stroncer. Switch and Signal held its own. In
the bank list there was too much difference be
tween bids and offers to make business pos
sible. Electric was comnarativelv aniet and closed
a small fraction under the opening. The
biebest at Boston was ii and the lowest 13.
It closed there at YSM. bid and offered at 13K.
Trading was light. There was no news to affect
the stock either war. The Ion? exnected state
ment appears to be as far off as ever. The old
story that Mr. Westmgbouse has secured all
the money he needs was floating around the
Hub, but it made no impression either tbere or
here. The only thing that seems certain is
that there will be a partial or entire reorgani
zation and chance in the management, but
when the announcement will be made no one
pretends to know.
On Tuesday the annnal meeting of stock
holders of the Cbartiers Natural Gas Company
will be held. A well knuwn stockholder has a
choice assortment of questions which he will
fire at the directory, and a lively time is ex
pected. It is thought these questions cannot
bo dodged, and that answers to them will bring
out the information which stockholders have so
long desired to obtain.

Oil City Scoops In a Few Thousand Barrels
of Grease.
A small buying demand for oil sprang up
yesterday, but at the expense of price. Oil
City took 18,000 or 20,000 barrels from Pittsburg
at68!. This was the only quotation, and It
was bid at the finish. Weakness was attributed
to bettor reports from the field.
Rehned was weaker at Antwerp. The aver
age runs were 74,671: averaen shipments, 62,550;
average charters, 35,765. The difference be
tween the first and the last item is steadily
widening, and is a good explanation of the ab
sence ot backbone.

HEW YOBK STOCKS.
A Halt Called on Wall Street Balls, hat
They Nevertheless Hold Their Own
Less Business hut a Broadening
Market Bonds Active and Firm.
New York, April 2L The stock market met
with a check to-day, both as regards its strength
and its activity, though the firmness of its tone
was not impaired for a moment. The execu
tion of numerous stop orders gave the bears an
opportunity to attack some of the leading
shares with success, while realizations of
profits accrued on tho advance of the past few
days aided in unsettling for the moment the
confidence of the bullish feeling in the street.
The local operators, as a rule, are known to be
fighting the rise, and while reactions are al
ways to be expected in a general advance tbere
was nothing to-day which could be called a
-reaction, even with the conjunction of all the
torces wnicn may do arraigned against tne up
ward movement.
A halt occurred, however, which had the
effect of giving many would-be buyers pause,
and the volume of the business after the realiz
ing sales of the forenoon became materially
smaller than that of the last few days at that
time of day. There was rather a larger foreign
demand than usual, and the Western demand
was still prominent, while those in position to
know say that there has been no change in
position among the Western operators; but the
effect of the sales was most apparent in the
Western stocks, though the entire market felt
the influence. A further engagement of cold
for export waB not without its effect, also, but
the tendency in the street is to disregard the
movement of specie outward, and beyond offer
ing a littlo additional encouragement to the
bears it was soon forgotten.
EThe market, notwithstanding the decrease in
business, perceptibly broadened, though the
principal trading was still confined to the same
fewstocks which have been prominent in the
market for the last two weeks. The trading,
however, was better distributed, and the stub
born resistance to the depressing influenes
kept prices generally within narrow limits ana
finally forced a retreat on the part of the advo
cates of lower figures. The weakest points in
the list were naturally those which have bad
the greatest advance, such as Chicago Gas and
Rock Island, though there was, for the amount
of business done, considerable weakness dis
played at times in Lackawanna, Among the
specialties, Oregon Bbort Line followed the
bonds and roso sharply, and among others may
be mentioned Wabash preferred, Richmond
and West Point preferred and Wheeling and
Lake Erie preferred which was aided by the
increase in the dividend rate as promised some
time ago.
New England also became prominent by a
spurt in the afternoon, inexplicable, as usual,
with the movements in that stock. A steady
opening was followed by a general selling move
ment, which forced prices off from $ to per
cent; bnt after this had spent its lurce there
was a complete rally, but the continued efforts
of the professionals to force a decline kept the
market rather feverish throughout the day, and
the general tendency of prices downward. The
market finally closed fairly active and heavy,
but with promise for to-morrow, while prices
were generally small fractions under those of
the opening.
Railroad bonds were fairly active again, and
again displajed a firm tone as a rule, though
the movements were not on so larce a scale as
those of yesterday. Oregon Improvement
fives continue active on a statement of a large
increase in the net earnings for the first quar
ter of 1891. as compared with the corresponding
quarter of 189a

Country Produce Jobbing Prices. .
The egg market is firm and prices are K
hieher per.dozen Tuesday than Monday. Ibe
faith that bottom prices bave been reached has
led dealers to store away large quantities for
the future trade. There is still a greatscarcity
of choice creamery butter In this market. At
the regular Monday meeting of the Elgin
board prices of last week were reaffirmed.
Markets at Elgin were active and strong. Coun
try butter keeps coming in freely, and demand
Is improving because of the limited supply of
creamery. In vegetable lines, cabbage is com
ing in freely from the South apd prices tend
lower. Other Sonthern vegetables are steadv.
Supply of poultry is not np to demand, and
markets are very strong.
