The Board of Managers newly elected Mill meet on Thursday ercning to elect new officers and devise plans for the coming year's campaign. r From the Superintendent's annual report the following facts are culled: For the year closing there have been received of Cars.

Flour 3,173 Barleyand malt.1.161 Wheat 1.071 Millfeed 1,138 Com .2,630 Hay. 3.33S Oats. 3,540 Straw. 61 Eye 1,005 The increas.6 over last year has been 11 cars of flour, 172 of wheat, 5S3 of corn, 259 of oat, 19S of rye, 400 of barley and malt, 33 of feed, 13S hay, and 5 of straw. Total receipts for the year 18,017 cars, or an a erage of 5S cars for every day of the year. The sales on "Change are 500 cars larger the pa.t year than the previous year, and 40 per cent above any former year. ThcTreasurcr's report shows receipts of $2,0!)0 75 for the year, and expenditures of 51,605 39, leaving a balance on band .of $454 56. The Report for the Tear. rresidont J. C Uouck suhmltted a report of last year's work which was received by manifest tokens of approval from members of the Exchange. Following is the substance of tho report: "At the start nine years ago grave doubts tj ere entertained by many as to the ultimate success of the movement for a Grain Exchange in Pittsburg. But with hat enthusiasm ne made our first sales! Tou remember how one veteran member purchased about all the sample oats, almost regardless of price, and sold them in the afternoon to the retail trade at his own price. When tho receipts increased he stored the surplus in the elevator and soon discovered ho bad an elephant on hand, and did not know -v. hat to do with it. Like all associations in infancy our enthusiasm soon began to ti ane. "Like colts, t e were not yet bridle-wise. Experience as yet had not taught us to pull together. Falt-e starts were frequently made, and ended in disappointments. I refer to but one of these, viz., that the w hole sale dealer should protect the retail dealer, in a certain stated profit, on oats, corn, hay and feed, and when the sub ject was considered bv the wholesaler no two retailers could be found who would pledge themselves in this matter. Griev unees were frequently brought before the Exchange. Sir William Gordon-Cumming tactics created disturbances. Reformatory Influences were just being grafted, anil needed time and pruning to mature. Arbi tration succeeded arbitration. Our veteran cx-president wcro frequently called on to define the by-laws and to settle questions of disputation, so as toavoid if possiblearbitra--tlon, which was considered rather costly. Last, but not least, came tho great tug of war by the retailer to prevent the reporters of tho press fiom giwng to the public the wholesale market quotations of grain, etc Result of Time and Experience. "But time and experience have wrought a great change, and it is highly gratifying to notice so large a number in daily attend ance. Business is dispatched with prompt ness. Contracts arc lulfilled without disa greement. We are reaching a higlicr sphere of education, and it is remarkable that dur ing the year all differences were settled without the services of the Arbitration Board, which is certainly very gratifying. "About JuneS the attention of the board was called to the fact that o iiould not -- hat e-feufiicieiit tunds to meet tho yenr-'s -expenses. "The mat-tor was referred to the Finance Committee, w ho suggested that the uctie members of the Exchange donate the re quired amount, which was estimated at about $250. "Tho result was that $278 was promptly collected. "Thus showing not onlv the wisdom but Influence of the Finance Committee in case ot need, and w ho arc w orthy of our sincere thanks. "The Room Committee has been successful in leasing this beautilul and conveniently located room, at :i rental of $500 per annum, Including light, heat andwatn. They also succeeded m reletting to the Western Penn sylvania Brick Exchange the use of the room once per week, at $100 per annum: to the Coii'-crcial Tra clers' Protective Asso ciation orce per month, at $75 per .annum; to the Lnve and Cement Association once per month, at $25 per annum. The sum totals $200. A Gain in Strengtlu "This enables us to meet our obligations with less burden, and, notwithstanding the loss heretofore sustained in membership, we are gaining strength by securing those who g ve their time and influence to the Ex change, nine members of which were thus ser urea during the last year through the inst.iuientalitv. of the Membership Coni luitt e, w ho did their work nobly. "1 he Circulai Committee deserves special notice for the efficient manner in which It performed its woik. In a year like the last w hen fluctuations wcro sharp and wide 't was not nn easj matter to keep pace wit'i the maiket. I am aware that at difier ent times complaints were heard;concern ing the circular quotations, but I w ould ask, who will now undertake to do this most difficult and unthankful work as well as this retiring rommittec, to whom -we owe our sincere thanks Tho olumo of business transacted during the j car exceeds anj- pre vious year in the history of the Exchange. I refer you to the superintendent's report, which j ou will find quite interesting. "T le'trcasurer's report you will find satis factory, as our $10 annual assessments will now meet all our expenses, and should year ly give us a, su'all sinking fund, which will make the association financially easy and comfortable. The Trade in Futures. "Trading in futures, by some of tho active members, has had a tendency not only to enlarge our daily business, but to infuse more activity into the Exchange. It makes business active, and it's activity that wo need to make business progressive. I w ould suggest an increased trading in this direc tion. The business of the Exchange could be greatly improved if tho entire nulling in terest ot the cty wcro represented. It appears to n.u that better bargains could be had here than at country points. 1 am satisfied a sufficient amount of grain would be consigned to the dealers Iieio to supply all demands. This city should not be an exception to other cities in this particular. Our grain committee is full v compctent to grade aright, our inspection is as rigid as other cities, our dealers aro honorable nnd courteous, and if there be anything wanting to bring about this much needed improvement, let it be pointed out tj ui at once so that the matter can bo remedied. ' During the call wo can facilitate tho busi ness gieatly by not annoying the auctioneers In requesting sales of anything out of the rtgular order of business. This is certainly i eiy abrupt on the part of members, and, I am satisfied, it's not a willful intrusion. I Lope that one reference to this matter is sufficient. "It is with sincere regret that I record tho deaths, during the year, of tw o worthy mem bers of the Exchange, viz.: Alexander Greenawalt and our faithful inspector, Will lam Culp. On the 12th ult,, suitable action was taken on the death of A illiain Culp and the Exchange attended the funeral in u bodj. Mr Cnlpwas not only a faithful offi cial, but, a kind and honest citizen. The past ear in more than one particular was eventful The partial failure of the grain crops, has resulted in the most active mar ket in the history of tho Exchange. With low prevailing prices, in the years 1888, 18S9 and first half ot 1890, we were slow to accept the advance, as permanent. We argued, that with so largely an Increased acreage of all kinds of grain, cxtremo prices would not again be realized. Resulted In an Advance. "Tho result was that wheat advanced In this market about 17c to 22c per bushel, com Mo to 45s. and oats SOo to 32c. This Immense advance was attended by consider able excitement and sharp nnd wide fluctu ations, it was not an easy matter to keep para with the market, much less to render Mucumim w our customers, ana u is re- raarkable that, being subjected at times to severe losses on account of the sharp and wide fluctuations, not a single- disturbance occurred. "It as eventful in tho immense liquidation of securities, which began last year and continued until January 1, 1801. This im mense liquidation was indirectly caused by tlio financial crash in the Argentine. Repub lic European parties returned our secur ities, in order to realize on them as an emergency, and the result is that already about $60,000,000 of gold have been exported. In connection with tho- unprecedented ex port of gold, which has attracted the atten tion of the entire financial world, the state ment of our foreign commerce, jrret issued by the Treasury Department will be particu larly interesting. "For the four months of 1831 tho figures are as follows: Exports...: $303,000,000 Imports.... 237,000,000 Excess of exports $16,000,000 "Here is a balance of trade in our favor, of $16,000,000, but, instead of receiving payment therefor, this country 1"S sent abroad about $00,000,000 of gold. FortheBmpnths ending April 30, 183 1, our foreign trade was as fol lows: Exports $879,000,000 Imports .,...., 815,000,000 Excess of exports, v $34,000,000 "This shows that our trade with Europe has not been' adverse, but that our gold goes to pay for the American securities returned to us."

PLANS MALE FOE ANOTHER CHURCH Now that it has been determined to sell tho lot upon which Christ M. E. Church stood, considerable speculation Is being in dulged as to who will-acquire possession of the property. Its value for business pur poses is scarcely second to any other loca tion in the city, nnd it Is understood the trustees have already had a- number of offers more or less tempting one of thorn from a wholesale drygoods firm, tho head of which is a prominent member of tho church; and tho probabilities are that this will be the successful bid, as it is understood to meet tho approbation of the trustees. Property Values in Gotham. Talk about property being extravagantly high in Pittsburg I Mr. David Stewart, brother of W.C.Stowart,andwho is engaged in the real esta business in New York City, was in mo city j esieruay ana gavo some in teresting Information in regard to property values in the metropolis. Ho stated that Mr. II. G. Badgbly, a real estate broker there, sold about two months ago, for Morton, Bliss & Co. (Mr. Morton is Vico President of tho United States) a tract of land which, when subdivided, contained 411 lots, 25x100 feet each, situated on Washington Heights, ten miles from City Hall, for $9b0,000 cash. This property lias since been sold by Mr. Badgely for$L490,000,anndvanceof over$500,000 in two months. Mr. Badgely, who, by tho way, is well known in Pittsburg, bought for his own account in tho samo plan a lot 25x100, for which ho paid $10,000, or $400 a foot front, nd has since sold it for $11,000. This property was at one time owned by General Daniel jsutterfieia. Another recent deal, in Gotham was men tioned bv Mr. Stewart, that of a block of five lots on Fifth avenue, corner of Fiftv-flfth street, 100x125 feet. It was purchased by one of the As tors as a gift to another member of the family Just married, who will erect thereon a residence costing $250,000. Busi ness property also comes liigh there. A Eiece located on the corner ofcBroadway and Iberty street, 19x125 feet, sold a few days ago for $150,000, or almost $8,000 a foot front. In view of these facts, w hy is not down town property in Pittsburg a good purchase at present prices? It is. Its Stock on the Jump. The rapid rise in the Manufacturers' Gas Company stock, which from being quoted at 24 last week was bid up to 29 yesterday, is owing to two concurrent fortunate condi tions. First it is the great increase In the earning capacity of the company, its re ceipts being now the largest in its history, and its indebtedness being reduced so fast tuat tnere win soon De none, jueanwniie, the dividends have for a year past been paid, regularly, while other companies suspended their division of profits. The second piece of good luck is tho discovery of what prom ises to be a prolific oil field snrrounding the Linn farm, where tho Manufacturers' Com pany owns nearly 1,200 acres. The rise is re markable, but the circumstances Justify a still greater one. The Linn well is producing about 80 barrels per day. It was struck last Thursday. ' Still Another Fine Church: Improvement in church architecture in .Pittsburg is as notable as in that of business and private houses. Plans for the Catholic church 'of St. John tho Baptist have been drawn by Architect J. W. Opperman. Al though of moderate size.it will be one of the handsomes't church buildings in tho city. It will cost about $65,000 and occupy a com manding site on the corner of Third and Liberty streets. It will be G5X120. Stone, will be tho material used. It will be surmounted by two towers and will have three entrances' in froni. The roof will be of" tile in the Romanesque style. The interior will be plain but effective. Work on this building will begin as soon as the strike is over. Mr. Opperman stated yesterday that work in his line was rather slack on account of the strike, but he believed that by the begin ning oCfall there would be a docided change, for tho better, as a large number of people who have purchased lots were anxious to get building on them as soon as possible. Business Xews and Gossip. The prospect of large crops is strengthen ing the market for railroad shares. , The public sale of lots at Kensington he gins to-day.

MORE VIM AMONG TRADERS, BUX BUSI TlTiSS STDLL BELOW ZERO. Manufacturers' Gas and Arsenal Bank Im prove Their Position Effect of the Kountz Deal on Manchester Tractfon Stock Bonds Dull European Situation Other Features. The local stock market yesterday devel oped some strong and no especially weak features. There t as more vim ampng the room traders than for several days. Total sales were 146 shares) furnished by Manches ter Traction, Philadelphia Gas, Electric, Luster and Pleasant Valley. A strong feature was Manufacturers' Gas, which advanced to 29J In the bidding at the last call, against 28 at the opening and 26 the day before. It was held at 85. The advance is based on good productive property owned by the company and its excellent financial condition, as shown by the recent statement made to the stockholders. Arsenal Bank was strong at 70 an advance of $5 or there abouts in less than a month. EIectrio closed a fraction better than the r.r PA-TOH, opening. Ninety shares changed hands at the uniform price of mi, all going to George B. Hill Co. Itrwas stated that tho work of surrendering stock was proceeding satisfac torily, and that the chances favored a final settlement at the next meeting. . ., The Tractions were dull, and Central, Pleasant Valley and Dnquesne were yllgntly weaker. Tho latter was offered at 17. litr mlngham could have been sold at 20. -Manchester improved half a point, to 39, on tho sale of the Commodore Kountz interest, rotnoving the principal obstruction to plac ing the control of the road In the bands or the Allegheny Traction Company. Theio is some opposition -stock: still r out, but it is not believed?, the holders; aro disposed to maxe trouble. Practically, therefore, litigation has ceased, and the company put in n posi tion to carry out Its plans for tho manage ment of the road, and the development or business. " , " Philadelphia Gas finished half a point under the opening in the absence of active support, but Wheeling was -steady." 'Luster was put down a fraction.while Underground Cable dropped a full point as compared with tho closo of the previous day. Airbrake and Switch and Signal wore neglected. An Eastern authority says: "A singular feature in the financial sltuationjustnpwis tho lack of demand for bonds. Relatlvoly the bonds of many roads. nro selling lowec than the stocks, and while thero was re cently a month or so of activity and buoy nncy in stocks the bond market only fol lowedand feebly followed tho movement. This is a curious state of affairs and one may frame several theories to explain it. The most, plausible one is that many banking houses last fall became loaded with bonds In most Instances through Joining unuer writinDT BrnrifrMitAs -whlp.il -were forced to distribute the securities among themselves when tho public failed to subscribe and these bonds they have been trying to peddle out of. Thus the class which usually gives the Initial Impulse to the bond market by taking round lots of new issues and .then recommending them tok clients, is , "not init.'"' New York was steady but dull. London re ported money very easy, with n better feel ing in financial circles, but railroad shares wero somewhat lower. Russia was still drawing gold, but the Bank of England was prepared. On the whole European advices were more assuring.

RAILROAD STOCKS DIDNT COUNT IN YESTERDAY'S MARKET. Sugar Shows the Widest Fluctuations on the Announcement of a Dividend Chi cago Gas Follows In Activity A Few Losses in Railroad Shares. New York, June 9. The street is still in a waiting attitude. The market was very dull and uninteresting for the railroad list, out side of the fow shares influenced by special causes, and the whole attention of the trades concentrated upon tho Industrials. The meeting of the directors to act upon the question of Ih'e dividend was a source of strength to Sugar, and the announcement ot tho dividends was followed by further im- provement', Chicago Gas following with a mere limited fluctuation. Tho shipment of gold to-day by -August Belmont & Co., while it had some Influence uton the general list, was used principally against Louisville and Nashville, and free offerings were followed by a material de cline in the value of the stock. The rest of the railroad stocks, the coal shares, wero looked upon with less favor than the others, and both Lackawanna and Jersey Central were depressed on light trading. The general market showed the apathetic condition of operators' minds, nnd while St. Paul, as usual, with Atchison following, J snowed some animation, tuotr movements throughout tho day were devoid of interest. There is a disposition manifested to again bank upon the July disbursements, nnd many houses are looking forward lo that date to 6ee some revival of- the demand for bonds, which seems to be entirely lacking at present, and the absence of such demand is one of the depressing influences In the stock market. The opening off the market this morning was made at some decline from last night's figures, except In the Industrials, which were all slightly higher and made further improvement in the early trading. A heavy tone marked the dealings In the regular list throughout the day, and tho attack upon Louisville- dropped tbatr stock 1 per cent, though a large portion was recovered before the Close. Northwestern wns the weakest point in the list, selling ox-dividend at 3 per cent. It retired M per cent at tho cloe. Tho coal stocks followed, though a late rally in Lackawanna recovered most of the loss in that stock. ' Tuo rest of the list remained within the narrowest limits throughout the day, even S(. Paul fluctuating over a range of only per cent. The market finally closed dull and steady, but generally at small fractional losses for the day. The advances in the In dustrials, were on the same scale, as a late weakness neutralized a large proportion of tho movement of the morning. The final changes of importance includo only losses of li In Northwestorn and 1 per cent each in Jersey Central and Louisville. There was tho usual insignificant trading in railroad bonds, and while tho ales reached a .comparatively large number lof , Issues thero was no movement, and a hetivy tone In strict conformity with that in shares pre vailed. AU are lower, but the (important changes, as usual, are only among those issues which are only occasionally quoted. Tho total business was only $536,060. atockson theNewYorfefltnelrP'.TfhnlAvcen1iiv.

By Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis, 3 cars of wheat, 2 of oats, 1 of bran. If the action of buyers is to bo taken as a criterion, the late bull movement has spent its force. The cereal situation is favorable to the buyer all along the line. Hay has weakened of late under the influence of timely showers, and corn has followed suit under the Influence of heavy receipts at Chicago. Bears have now had the field for a month or more, and the first evidence of a reaction in favorof bulls called out large quantities of stuff, giving proof that there was still plenty in the hands of producers when prices are satisfac tory.

Grain Markets See-Saw Between Bullish Cahles and Bearish Home News Wheat and Corn Mainly Strong, Oats Weak Corn Breaks at tho Close. CHICAGO Although tho wheat market wobbled a little at the start and seemed dis posed to sell off, and did decline some from tho opening, the feeling gradually changed to one of strength, and there taia very de cided advance, though all of the improve ment as not held. At the close yesterday a dispatch was shown around to the effect that the French Senate had amended the Lower House bill reducing tho tariff on wheat so as to make it go into effect at once instead of on August 1, and that only the as sent of the Lower House was needed to put the reduced tariff into effect. On this intelligence the price of calls was advanced on tho curb. Tho consequence wasaflrmonenlnir this mornine at an nd. vance of c over the closing price yesterday In spite of the fact that prices were Kc lower at Liverpool. Thero were, however, free offerings apparently by persons seeking to make a soft market to buy on. The conse quence was that Jnlv, which opened at SSc. quickly sold off to 97K. This was followed by buying for Xew York and local account, and an advance movement set in and the shorts besan to cover. About the same time private cables reported coldand wet weather in France, injuring the already poor pros pects for the crop, and also reported higher prices there. The price advanced irregu larly to 99c, though transactions at the top were limited. Tho decided appreciation in values staited a free realizing movement and'liberal short selling. The sellers were assisted in breaking the market by the re ported heavy increase in the amount of wheat and flour on ocean passage, making the quantity the largest on record. In addition a dispatch from Minneapolis reported that the crop prospects in the Red Eivor Valley exceeded anything ever known before. The Dakotas find Kansas also sent In bearish crop leports. Under theso influ ences there was a reaction to 93c in tho last hour, and with somo minor fluctuations near the close, the 'result of covering by shorts, the market closed steady at the price last named. Corn opened strong In sympathy with an advance of Kd 'n prices at Liverpool, but weakened under free selling by local traders, rallying again, however, with wheat. July started at 58c against 59c at tho close yes terday; sold off to 60c, and then took a sharp upturn when the estimates for to' morrow came in, showing light expected re ceipts. July advanced to 59c. There was free realizing on the way up, and the bears took advantage of the situation to weaken values by oflering large amounts without selling much. The price broke badly near the close, and closed steady at 58Jc. Oats started weak at 4c for July, soon fell to 43c, but on othergraln showing so much strength advanced to Kc, then toward tho close broke with corn, and closed at 43c, within a of tho bottom price. Provisions were quiet with narrow fluctu ations.. The September options show the following losses at the close, compared with final figures yesterday: Pork, 15c; lard, 5c; lard,7Kc The leading futures ranged as follows, as cdrrected by John M.
