A Spurt of Activity In Corn, but Early Strength Not Sustained "Wheat Lets Go Oats reatnreless Concessions Mado AH Along the Provision Line. CHICAGO Corn was the ruling factor on tho Board of Trade to-day, and the business In all pits was very dull during the most of the session. "Wheat was fairly strong dur ing tho afternoon, with little trade passing; then it became active and weak In sympathy with corn. The news was mostly bearish; foreign markets were lower. Tho first arrival of new wheat was reported from San Fran cisco, and heavy exports ot gold continued. On the other hand, BradstreeC reported a large decreaso in stocks, the price of bread wns said to be advancing In Italy, and oat lice were reported ravaging the wheat fields in some portions of the States, though other points indicated an abundant crop. Julv wheat started at 99c, against OSJfcat thn close yesterday, ranged between 9sJc nnd aoun torn lonsr time and then snurted to99Jc Tho spurt, it amis said, was due to the binding up of the market by operators In corn, who wcro nnxtous to inalco a strong spurt to unload en. Tho rise not only in duced much sclltug by New Yorkers, but by local speculators as well. When corn began to decline, tho price of Julv wheat slipped down to ShKc Here it was sustained by purchases against puts till the close. Keceipts of corn were nearly 100 carloads below the estimates. Tho bulls started in to buy and the shorts to cover. The result was that July, which opened c up to fiflc, advanced to 57c The bulls then proceeded to tpkc their profits, and the price slid off to S6e, but closed Uc higher. Oats were dull and featureless, following in tiio wake of corn. Provisions were dull until near tho close, when they put on a spurt of activity. Tho fluctuations, however, were extremely nar row, and tho closo shows a loss of 2K7c in pork, Sfj'Jc in ribs and 10c in lard, com pared with yesterday. The leading futures ranged as follows, as corrected by John M. Oakley & Co., 43 Sixth street, members of Chicago Board of Trade: Opeu- High- Low- Clos- acticxes. ing. est. est. lug.

OFFICE AM) STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP The reascn why business property is in such high favor is that it Is free to a large extent -from the' element of uncertainty which environs property in the outlying dis tricts where the surroundings aro liable to constant change. The down-town district is devoted to business. It is used by business men for business purposes.and landlords aro not compelled to humor tho whims and caprices of miscellaneous tenants. It 'is easily cared for and tho income is certain. In a growing city like Pittsburg tho business area is constantly widening and reaching out, and residence localities this year may be changed to those of stores nnd shops the next. A few years ago Mr. McWhinney bought a largo frontage on Wood street, Wfflclnsburg, and put up several residences on It. This spaco Is now needod for business. The same change lias occurred on Pennnvennc and other streets In Pittsburg. These instances servo ti emphaslzo tho point sought to bo brought out that down-town property, by reason cf its fixedness, is always esteemed a good Investment, even when bought on a lower income-j'ieldlng basis than property in tho rapidly changing residence districts. Of course, this does not lower the value of residence property, but merely adds to the uncertainty, as tho inroads of Uuslness may entirely change its surroundings in a few years. This feature of tho real estate market ex ists nowhere else in the same degree as in Pittsburg. Other cities have more business area than they need. Hero expansion is so great and constant that a steady invasion of the residence localities is going on, and the fine dwelling of to-day may De converted into a store to-morrow. This aggression is the basis of the actual demand for and high prices of business property. Business News and Gossip.

NATURAL GAS STOCKS STRONG ON THE TAPPING OF A NEW FIELD. Business Small in Volume, but Values "WeU Held A Few Gains, With No Positive Losses Street Railway Earnings De pend Largely Upon Speed. The local stock market yesterday was dull, stale nnd unprofitable to all concerned. There was no disposition to do anything, and tho day woro away with next to nothiug ac complished in the way of sales. They footed up only 175 shares lor the three calls all Philadelphia Gas. .This weakness of tho speculative pulse e x tended to all tho outside oxchanges. New York was dull and weak, while London was still unsettled with little doing. The rnn on the Buenos Ayres banks was continued, and five of them had been compelled to close A Paris' banker had disappeared, with liabili ties of several million francs. Natural gas stocks were firm, with a buoy ant undertone, due to the tapping of a new pis field in Hampton township Tiy Spang, Chalfant & Co. The well was said by some to be equal to anything in the Butler dis trict. If this statement be oven approxi mately correct, it should strengthen this class of securities by demonstrating that the supply of natural fuel is sufficient for nearly all purposes. Other strong features were Luster, Manu facturers' and Chartiers Gas, each of which finished better than on the previous day. Luster yr-, per1'-'.

There was opportunity for trading in sev eral of the specialties, as bids and offers were quite close together, but the lethargic feeling elsewhere was so strongly refleoted hero that neither sellers nor buyers were willing to venture much upon such an un certain market.

The supply was large Currency was more abundant than at any previous time this year. Laree cash sales and country shipments account for It.

An Eastern authority says: "It is said that time money is plenty, but that leaders expect higher rates, nnd will hold their funds until they obtain them." While Pitts burg financiers anticipate such improve ment in business as to bring into use nearly all the funds now idle, they do not antici pate a higher level of rates, as they think nny stringency that may develop will be offset by the return of gold from Europe.

EITHER Two Feeble Bear Balds, Bnt Both Short TJred Louisville and Nashville Down, Chicago Goes Up No Other Features Bonds More DuU Than Usual. New York, June 3. The stock market to day was dull throughout, with tho usual in significant fluctuations in the general list nnd immaterial changes, at the close. The new Increase In the capital stocks of tho Louisville and Nashville and tho Jersey Cen tral assisted in creating the lieavy tone which marked tho trading during most of the day, and both stocks sold at lower prices, while displaying none of the recuperativo power which the general list had under the cessa tion of the early pressure to sell. Renorts of a comoromlse between the Chi cago city authorities and the offices of the. Chicago uas company leu io asuarp upwara movement in that stock, but the rest of the llst did not respond, nnd dullness and stag nation were the only features of the market after tho expiration of the first hour. Tho early trading was marked by tho usual vig orous pounding of tho few leading shares, nnd at the lowest figures they were down from c to M ner cent. Dullness followed. and prices slowly crept up In the absence of pressure to sell, and the early losses were nearly recovered, oxcept In Louisville and Nashville, while was heavy all the way out. Tho final trading was enlivened by a small demonstration against values, but like tho earlier one it was short llvgd. The market, in the meantime, failed to respond to the advance In Chicago Gas, and it finally closed dull and steady, generally at small fractions below the opening prices, as a rule. The' final changes Include a gain of In Chicago Gas and a loss ot IK 1" Louisville and Nash ville, tho others being small fractional loses. Railroad bonds were .even" less animated than usual of late, the sales of all issues reaching only $479,000, and while the general list showed only the most Insignificant changes a few important losses were scored. St. Paul, L. & N. and M. lost 2 at 114. The following table shows tho prices or active stocks on the New York Stock Exchange estcrdav.
