'Plenty of Home Money to loan on
Good Real Estate Security.
NEW DEPARTURE OX SHADY LANE.
City Development in Its Relation to Street
Eaihvay Securities.
TIIE FEATURES OP IX)CAL SPECULATION
Easy money 'is stimulating the demand for
mortgages. A member of tho firm of W. A,
Ilerron &' Sons bad this to say yesterday
afternoon: "Thero Is a good inquir' r
loans on real' estate security. Mortgages on
desirable property can bo placed without
.much difficulty. Tho prevailing rato is 6
per cent, but in eases where property is ex
ceptionally1 good money can be borrowed
at 3 3-10.
"Persons having good property, and de
siring to borrow on It find no difficulty 'in
obtaining funds, as there is a great deal of
unemployed capital in Pittsburg seeking
safo investments. Unproductive property
is hardl3' worth considering as collateral for
loans."
Widening the Business Area.
Mr. Joseph it. Schaeferrccentl3-purchased
HK113 feet of ground on Shady Lane for
$9,000. Ho now contemplates erecting
thereon a block of business houses, lor
which bids are being taken. This is a new
departnre on that street, which has hereto
fore been almost entirely devoted to resi
dences Being the main "thoroughfare for
the entire Squirrel Hill district, and a prin
cipal feeder to Penn avenue, Mr. Schaefer's
venture to widen the business area of tho
East End bears every promise of success.
Conservatives Hold the Tort.
There has been quito a change in the busi
ness sentifr.pnt of the country within tho
last two or three years, cspeclalls in regard
to real estate. Then the temper w as Inrgel;
speculative, as shown by the numerous
wildcat schemes that were floated in tho
Westnnd subsequently went to pieces, leav
ing ruin in their wake. Tho financial crisis
of tho last half of 1S90 checked this sanguine
spirit and brought about a reaction. Con
servatism became tho rule: and this is the
conrso that is now being pursued in tho bulk
of real estato transactions. Tills' is one of
tho strongest factors in the local market.
and the -best possible guarantee of perma
nent activity. Buying for use keens the
market from being glutted and affords a re
liable criterion of value. Speculation has no
place in such a market.

must soon cease, but somehow past theoriz

and there is a feeling that present reasoning
may turn out in tho same way. TJiat which
everybody is expecting and predicting for
the markets is, very frequently, the very
thing that does not materialize. Tho ont
side public is doing little or nothing now,
but is disposed to look on, patlentb" waiting
for the financial ntmosphcre to get a littlo

has held remarkably well, and unless the
foreign conditions grow seriously worse, and
the gold shipments increase, it is going to

There was littlo in the market yesterday of
business or gossip. Sales aggregated 360
shares, of which Birmingham and Diiqucsne
Traction furnished all but 20. This group
was steady to strong around quotations of
the previous day, excepting Central and
Second Avenue, which finished with frac
tional improvements. Electric, Philadelphia
and Wheeling Gas and Luster fell off a triflo
each. Undcrground'cablo was stronger.
Orders were scarco on both sides of tho
market. There were nonolfor Electric, which
was about as dull In Boston as here.
The neat nppearonce and easy running of
the Dnquesne cars elicited considerable fa
vorablo comment. They were well patron
ized for the first dav. Brokers were of tho
oninion that 3-cent fares would increaso tho
earnings of the road.
An event Of' the dav was a trado of 100

IS STOCKS TAUSE TO TAKE A
LITTLE BREATH.
A General Yielding In Prices for Small Frac
tionsA Partial Bally Near the Close
Bears Say Bonds Must Bo Active to Save
Shares.
New Y'ork, May 21. Tho temper of the
stock market was rather reactiouar-, but
there was a lack of life In. the dealings.
There was a strong opening, but except Jn
1 Heading thero was no material Improve
ment. Tho capture of tho business of the
Coxes and other new freight contracts,
which will bring the tonnage of tho com
pany up some 2,000,000 more for the
ensuing year," and tho approach
of tho time when a votb is to
be taken upon tho extension of
the voting trust, made the stock attractive
to bU3'crs for tho time being, and u rise of
2 per cent was tho result. The general list,
however, still suffered from the failing at
titude of those who might be buyers, owing
to tho prevailing uncertainty in regard to
the future of tho mone' nuirket. Tho con
cessions from tho best prices were very ma
terial in the leading stocks, St. Paul and
Union Pacific -iclding most readily and
showing most animation. Beside Heading,
both Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks and
Great Northern preferred showed marked
strength at times. -
The announcement that n large amount of
gold would go out on Saturda' gave tho
bears an opportunity to press tlie list down,
and the buoyancy in Heading was short
lived. Special weakness was soon devel
oped in tho other Coalers, because Of the
posslblo complications which may1 arlso.
irom tho transactions with Kondlnir. Lack
awanna dropped off about 2, and Jersey
central auontajer cent, wmie the pressure
upuu iuu resi oi tno active stocks was Bul
flcient to causo losses, which In most cases
exceeded 1 percent. Atchison, Burlington,
Rock Island, Union Pacific ana Chicago Gas
were conspicuous for, their-weakness under
'the pressure . ,..
Tho late trading saw a partial rally, when
tho shorts began to tako their profits ror the,
day, and the market closed quiet but firiftHit
tho fractional Improvement from the lowest'
figures. Tho final losses aro generall' con--flned
to fractions, but Lackawanna is down
l C. C. CV & St. L.,'1; Louisville and Nash
ville, VA, and St. Paul, 1 per cent.
Tho sluggish condition of tho railroad
hond market giyes great encouragement to
the beat-sat present, who point to the fact
that some Improvement must be seen in this
department Wore any material advanco
can bo hoped for in the stock list; To-day
there was a littlo more animation, and the
total transactions wcrerbrought up -to $987,
000, though there was the usual lack of
marked feature, and a heavy tono prevailed
In sympathy with tlie downward movement
in shares, heading -firsts, however, mado a
substantial gain of2 per cent to KM. for 'tho
samo cause that helped the stock, but tho
rest of tho list wcro placed witlin. narrow
limits?

CotJXTnr Produce (Jobbing Prices) Tho
supply of strictly fresh eggs is not up to de
mand and markets are firm, Willi an upward
tendency. Prospects are for a 20c egg mar
Jcet beforo raahy da-s, as advices from all
sections of tho country indicate a scarcity.
It is hardly probable that butter can find a
lower level this season. Good Ohio cream
cry sold to-day at 16c per pound, and good
country butter for whatever it would bring.
With such a sharp decline as wo-havo this
Week, probabilif Ics nro that a reaction will
come, and an advance movement bo inaugu
rated next week. The first arrival of South
