THE FEAT0EES OF LOCAL SPECULATION
The Ormsby property on Forbes street,
Bellfield lot 100x120, with an eight-roomed
dwelling changed ownership yesterday,
the consideration being $13,000. Being in
close proximity to Bchenley Park, the price
is considered very reasonable, and goes to
show that values in that locality have not
yet reached such an altitude as to be beyond
the means of any but millionaires.
Something in the Wind.
Tho Pennsylvania Railroad has under con
sideration an improvement that will be of great
importance to Wilkinsburg. Penn avenne is
the connecting link between the borough and
the citv the Applan Way over which the
stream of travel flows in both directions. This
important thoroughfare at tho point of inter
section with the ralroad has been for years a
sort of dumping ground for the neighborhood,
giving It a decidedly shabby appearance. The
only remaining landmark of the borough is
situated here. It is a log house, dating back 60
or 70 years. It was formerly a tavern, and in
the halcyon days of the "pike" was the stopping-place
of many prominent people. There
are several outbuildings which aro in a dilapi
dated condition. As this is not a country of
ruins, there is no reason why these ancient
structures should be permitted longer to cum
ber the ground. They are In the way of im
provement. The land as well as the buildings belong to
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and as the company
has no use for the latter they will be torn
down. As to what will take their place is as
yet a matter of conjecture. Some think the
station will ultimately be removed to this site.
This would almost ruin Wood street as a busi
ness thoroughfare by diverting trade to Penn
avenue and Franklin street. The change
would not receive popular approval, and it is
hoped it will not be made. Others say a large
freight bouse will be erected on the site of the
old building, and tor proof point to the fact
that a release ot the ground on which the
Armour lcemg station stands has been refused,
it being needed for additional tracks, which
would not be necessaay if It were not the inten
tion to build a freight house. That valuable
Improvements of some Hind are on the tapis is
certain, ana tney win ne oi great Denent to ins
borough, and especially to the locality in ques
tion, no matter what form they may take.
They will enhance the value of property and
encourage owners to beautify their places.
A Spring Opening.
The late opening of spring, as everybody
knows, has kept business in arrears, but good
weather and improving rnad3 have had the
effect of a magician's wand in infusing life and
energy into the people. Things are brightening
up all round. Evidence of this is seen in the
fact that a number of subdivisions of land are
being opened np to catch the first Impulse of
the forward movement. Wood, Harmon s Co,
will put their plan of lots at Sheridan station
on tho market to-morrow. It contains about 52
acres and 701 lots. It is being graded, and side
walks have been laid. Prospects for building
are good. The person who puts up Ihe first
house will receive 300 as a reward. Its con
venience to the city and excellent transit facil
ities will no doubt be strong attractions to
home-seekers.

HOME SECUKITIES.
A Good Business Daring the Weelr, With
Better Prices for Almost Everything
Gains and Losses, but the Latter
Cat a Small Figure.
Tho wees: was a fairly good one In local stocks,
total sales aggregating 3,430 shares, the bulk
furnished by Philadelphia Gas and Electric,
against 2,876 the previous week. The improve
ment In sentiment was as marked as in busi
ness. Closing prices yesterday, as compared with
those of the previous Saturday, show advances
in Manufacturers' Gas, Plpeage, Philadelphia
Gas, Central and Citizens' Traction and Luster.
The only properties on the acti70 list that
closed at a loss were La Noria, Electric and
Airbrake, and these were fractional. The
greatest improvement was made by Citizens'
Traction. It commenced the week at 67 and
finished at 6 bid, with sales after call at 63.
The highest P'.int touched by Philadelphia Gas
was 13, by Electric 14, and by Luster 13.
Electric was rather nervous all week, and
especially so yesterday, and it moved less freely
than had been expected. This hesitation on the
Fart of investors was partly due to bull points
rom Boston cautioning traders to go slow as a
bnlge was In sight. The foundation for this
belief conld not be learned. Perhaps it had
none. Certain it is there were no developments
here to strengthen confidence or inspire hope.
Eastern manipulators are up to all the tricks of
the trade, and their statements should he taken
enm grano sails. It is supposed that Mr. West
ingbouse will turn on the light at the coming
meeting of the company. It was asserted yes
terday that be would make a favorable show
ing. The highest at Boston yesterday for the
siock was 1 lowest 13 and the close 13.
the same as here. Want of information is as
much felt there as in Pittsburg.
New York was strong. The bank statement
proved unexpectedly favorable with an In
crease in the reserve of over $2,000,000. and this
stimulated the general list. The later dealings
showed the effects of realizations, however,
and the market closed barely steady at small
fractions better than first prices. Silver was
up to 97. Panhandle preferred opened up at
60, went to 65 and reacted to 64. Lead Trust
was steady around 20 and 20.

MONEY MARKET.
The Best Week of the Year In Local Fi
nancial Circles.
Improvement in financial matters Is shown by
the steady growth of Clearing Honse ex
changes, and also by beavier checking. Ex
changes for the week were about $700,000 in ox
cess of those for the previous week, which, in
turn, were about the same amount ahead of the
week before.
The demand for accommodations is also
broadening, showing business development.
Not much in the way of new enterprises can bo
reported, but old ones are being enlarged or
strengthened. This requires money, and the
ban ks are furnishing it. Bankers reported last
week the best of the year in their Hue.
Money, however, owing to heavv depositing
as the result ot cash sales and fair collections,
is in larger supply than usual at this season,
but now the spring business seems to have
really set in reserves will nn doubt be brought
within moderate limits. Tbo excess of funds
possesses one good feature it is an assurance
there will be no stringency for some time to
come. It will be easy to obtain funds to move
the fall crops. Rates ruled easy all week at 6

Some Shares Beach the Highest Figures of
the Week Panhandle Stocks Shoot

the Feature of the Day.
New York, April 25. The stock market con
tinues to develop favorably, and to-day for a
time displayed the greatest strength, with good
buying for both sides of the aoconnt; and later,
despite heavy realization, maintained most of
the advances made daring the early trading
and finally closed with many stocks at the
highest points reached during the week.
The bank statement was unexpectedly favor
able, and where there had been a disposition to
discount another loss in reserve, there was
some hustling to get back the stocks sold. The
strongest stocks of the day were Northern Pa
cific preferred. Union Pacific, Rock Island and
St. Paul among the leaders, and among tho
usually inactive list Wheeling and Lake Erie,
Louisville. New Albany, Chicago and Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis. An
other advance of nearly 3 per cent In Louis
ville, New Albany and Chicago to-day was
made ou the announcement that the floating
debt of the company had been paid, and that
new traffic arrangements have been made with
the East Tennessee and Lake Erie and West
ern roads which "ill have a most favorable
effect on earnings of the first named road. The
payment of the dividend of the preferred stock
of Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis,
together with the excellent statement, bad the
effect of making a sharp spurt in that stock,
and it shot up to 65, retaining most of the gain
at the close.
The buying of Northern Pacific preferred,
however, was the great feature of the market.
The demand for stocks after a sti ong opening,
which was made at advances over last evening's
figures of from y to per cent, and a most ur
gent and; well distributed business, resulted
in uniform advanees of large frictions in all the
leading shares. Realizations then set In, how
ever, and some stocks were brought down be
low the opening prices; but tho bank statement
rallied the list again, and despite the continned
selling for long account, maintained most of
the early cains to the end. The Industrials
were not prominent at any time. The market
closed active and steady to firm, generally at
fractions above first figures.
Railroad bonds were inactive on all Issues,
but tho respectable figure of $1,236,000 for the
two hours, out of which amount Atchison in
comes furnished $135,000, was reached. The
tone of the market, however, was not very pro
nounced, though firm in the main, and the final
changes, while generally advances, are slight.
The exports of specie from the port of New
York amounted to $3,650,883. of which $8,898,988
was In gold and $253,895 silver. Of the total
exports 23,332,730 In uold and $241,215 silver
went to Europe, and $64,250 in gold and $12,650
silver went to South America and West Indian
ports. The imports of specie during the week
amounted to $25,909,of which 511,076 was In gold
and $14,833 silver.

HENRY CLEWS HOPEFUL
A Ball Campaign Inaugurated Why the
Outlook Is Favorable A Higher Range
of Values All Round Predicted The
Iron Trade as a Business Barometer.
rlTJCIAL TILEORAM TO THK DISPATCH.!
New York, April 25. Henry Clews, In his
financial review of the week, saysr At last the
anticipated "bull" campaign in the stock mar
ket appears to have fairh set in. For several
weeks past there has been a more or less gen
eral foeling that tho prices of securities were
ranging below their intrinsic value, but various
circumstances have arisen one after another to
prevent that conviction from developing into a
concerted movement for a rise. In spite of de
pressing influences the market value of securi
ties has been steadily maintained, and now that
the causes of depression bare disappeared or
lost their influence the conclusion is very
general that the time has come
tor a legitimate "bull" market. There
is more, however, than the disappearance of
unfavorable conditions. N ew conditions of a
more than usually encouraging nature have
come into play. The country has the promise
of a harvest of more than ordinary abundance,'
concurrently with poor crops in other coun
tries, which suggests the probability ot a large
export of cereaK at high prices. This means
ayearnf unusnal prosperity for the agricul
tural West and consequent large traffic for the
railroad9. It Is also becoming evident that
lat year's cotton crop has been estimated far
below its actual extent, so that a very unusnal
snrulus may have to be carried over Into the
next season, which Implies prosperity at the
South also. An exceptionally good harvest
will mean the liquidation of farm mortgages,
the proceeds of which may be expected to seek
employmeut in securities which tnd their
market in Wall street. Already, these pros
pects are beginning to have their effect upon
the tone of trade at large. The merchandise
markets generally are doing a healthy and
steadily Increasing business: and the Iron trade
(the best barometer of business)- Shows -a I
1891
marked ImproTtment in demand for all Its
products.
A set of conditions like these is legitimately
calculated to have a favorable effect upon the
prices of securities. That would ordinarily be
the effect even were prices relatively high; but
when prices range moderately low, as they do
at present, a continned advance movement be
comes almost irresistible. We have now a clear
prospect before us extending over a long
period. Such crises as happened last fall come
but once In ten years, and therefore set-backs
of that character are not to be reckoned as
among the possibilities ot the next few years.
This prospect appeals not only to purchasers
for transient holding but equally to permanent
Investors, and the current buying comes In no
small measure from the latter class.
For these reasons, I regard the present Im
proved spirit of the market as the beginning
of a buying movement that is likely to be
continued with the usual intervals of fluctua
tionuntil a higher range of values Is reached.
The obstructive taotlcs nf the room traders are
a matter of small moment against such a "bull'
feeling as Is now setting In. and the small
"bears" already exhibit a conservative caution.
The "outside" element, so long absent, has
taken possession of the market with a force
which warns "room" operators to stand aside
until the buying movement has exposed Itself
by excesses.
WALL SIEEET GOSSIP.
Higher Prices for Shares Predicted, and the
Reasons Therefor.
Wall street is overran with bull pointers, as
Indicated in the following telegraphic letter
from Watson & Gibson to John II. Oakley it
Co.:
"This has been a red letter week for the
bulls. Tbey hare painted Wall street a bright
hue of crimson. They have shed the blood of
the bears. These latter animals srs no lcg:r
themselves,but rather resemble the chameleon,
which takes on the color of Its environment.
The market to-day opened strong, and, with the
exception of a brief interval before the bank
statement came ont, it was strong throughout.
The statement was wonderfully favorable,
showing a train in surplus reserves of over
$2,500,000; $1,250,000 or this was obtained through
the loss of nearly $4,800,000 in deposits. The
reduction of loans by over $5,000,000 was the
greatest surprise In tba statement. Wall
street has been borrowing more this week, so
that mercantile and miscellaneous loans must
nave been paid off. Money Is coming hither
from the Interior to take the place of the gold
exported, and this current should continue to
flow this way for several months.
The northern Pacifies were higher to-day,
and German liquidation seems to have ceased.
We believe that considerable money will be
made In Paclfio Mall, Cotton Oil and Missouri
Pacific next week. The whole marketis likely
to be higher Monday morning, and if "the pot
boils" it will be wise for traders to sell some of
their stocks. The market Is going np much
higher this spring, and doubtless some quota
tions will look a little dizzy to conservative
people before midsummer. Nearly all bull
markets have occasional sharp reaotlons as
bear markets have sharp rallies. We believe
people who own stocks will cet much higher
prices for them before many weeks, and they
may be content to "hold the fort" against re
actionist's assaults.
There Is to be a great gain to ns from Europ
ean capital this summer. Hitherto it has been
going In a constant stream to South America,
but we think it will, in the near future, flow al
most exclusively to our shores. It will be a
financial Gulf Stream to spread its genial
warmth npon our market. It Is a constant ac
cumulation of wealth In the ola communities
of Europe, and the losses made in wildcat in
vestments are but a drop in the backet of their
accumulated capital. Mr. Robert Gibben, a
high English authority, reckons the gain on
England in the decade 1875-1885 at 17 per
cent, and he figures the annual present Invest
ment of funds abroad at 10,000,000, or $150,
000.000. To-day the Boston Stock Exchange bad the
formal opening of its new board room and a
splendid beginning it has made. No better
week coula have been chosen.

the receipts in the'Northwest were heavy, En
glish markets were lower, and exports for tho
week were disappointing. About the only en
couragement for advocates of higher prices
were a reported advance at Paris and Berlin,
and a private report of frost damage in Ken
tucky. July wheat started at $1 06, sold to 51 OS,'
up speedily to $1 03 and then started down
gain. There were brief halts and moderate
reactions at $1 08J4J the "put" price at $1 08,
at $1 07 at (1 tVi and at $1 06. From the
latter figure there was a rally to $1 07, but this
was lost near the cloe, which was easy at
practically the lowest prices of the day. Not
since last November have the beats made such
a concentrated ana well-directed attack on the
market.
Corn was as weak as wheat The liquidation
by longs and selling by bears was too great for
the small buying demand to overcome. Tba
brilliant weather, the prospectof large receipts
henceforth and the weakness In oats cut right
to the bone of the situation, and holders began
to stand from under. July started at &c,
sold at Kc, but was off to BVia before tue
session ended, when prices were liz higher.
The oats news was all tavoraule to bears,
who hammered the market throughout the
session. The governing Influences were the
weakness in other cereals, fine crop prosnects
and a diminished consumptive demand on ac- 1
nrage. 'The course of the market was down
ward all day with the exception or one or two
brief periods when there were fitful rallies.
Provisions were comoaratlvely dull. Julv
pork started at $13 07f. sold to 813 15, and off
later to $12 92K- The weakness of corn and
other grain counted against the market, but
there was no heavy selling. The close shows a
loss compared with yesterday of 25o in pork,
10c In lard and 1012Kc in ribs.
The leading f ntures ranged as follows, as cor
rected by John M. Oakley A Co., 45 Sixth street,
members of Chicago Board of Trade:

New OeleaKS, April 25. Eeeyes Lewis,
secretary of the New Orleans City Railroad
and one of the mast popnlar young men in
town, committed suicide by blowing ont his
brains. Lewis had evidently contemplated
snicide, for he sent a letter to the
President of his company announcing
that he wouldn't go down to the office to
day, and telling him what should be done.
When an examination was made of his
room, the Coroner was surprised to find a
box conta ining $10,000 in one corner of it,
which conldn't be accounted for.
The family of the snicide conld not im
agine how he had so much money, as he was
supposed to be in very moderate circum
stances. It was thought at first that it might
be the money of the rp.il road company, bat
an examination of its books showed that
nothing was missing. There was nothing in
the papers of the deceased to show bow he
came into possession of the money. The
moner was afterward discovered tobelong
to the City Railroad Company. The Presi
dent of the company thinks that Lewis took
the money while temporarily insane, as he
seems to have made no effort io misapply It,
