i? $ 'ISPATCH, WEDNESDJA.T, jpr FEATURES OF TRADE. Bananas in Excessive Supply Late, and the Market Weak. of TROPICAL FEUIT W OLDEN TIMES. Some Effects of the McKinley Tariff Bill on Canada Cheese. THE LABOR CONFLICTS AM) BUSINESS Office of PiTTsmnto DisrATcn, ) Tuesday. Judo S3. $ In the two weeks previous to this week not less tiinn CO car loads of bananas, were received in this city. Keceipts last week wcro fully 35 carloads. Markets weakened on the too liberal receipts, and dealers found it Impossible to unload except at a fcacrifice. Thi3 w eek supply is short, and re ceipts will not be more than half the amount of la -it week. There have been only about a dozen carloads received so far and the total for the week will not reach 20 cars, asnint "G cars last week. As a result of lighter receipt prices are firmer. Said a leading dealer: "We got it in the neck last week m bananas, but supplies this" week are light and markets aro in good shape for Fourth of July trade. The consumption of 'bananas on Independence Day is greater than at tiny time of the year. All signs point to an extraordinary trade the coming Fourth." An interesting fact was developed by in terviews with commission men as to banana trade. Tho merchant is still here and in vigoiouj health who received the first con signment of bananas in this city a little more than a quarter of a century ago. In those good old days bananas came by the barrel, und 7ero hard to sell, for the reason that consumers were low to catch on to the new tropical Iruit. Bananas are now received lv the carload, and as many as 40 carloads Iijivo be-n receh ed in a single week. This editor, who does not call himself an old man, "was lull' grown before bananas were a known quantity in Pittsburg markets. Cheese and the Tariff. Jty reference to domestic market column it will be seen that New Tork and Ohio cheese are iar apart in price, whereas, in or dinary s-ea-ons there is little difference be tween the two at this time. In fonneryears, Canada has come into close competition with Now York in cheeso lines but this year the McKinley tariff, which pats a duty of 6c per pound on imported cheese has effectually oloi-ed shipments from tliat source. The et fect is that Canada -iieec is now finding a market in Liverpool. There is no Canada chee-e coming to our maikets, for the good end efficient reason that it is excluded by the McKmlcy tariff. Thei-ame tariff has put a duty of 2c per rirvrmi on reus, and the result is higher price-, on heu Iruit to tho consumer. Last veiir the price of eggs marked a level of about 2c per dozen below this year, which is explained by the duty of 2c per dozen on eggs. Trade and Strikes. The lockout between contractors and car penters was thought to be at an end yester day, and journeymen who had long beon idle were going out to work this morning in the Eat End with dinner buckets and tools and w ith a determination to make up for lost time if possible. But later on it was dI-eo ered that the strike was not over, and Journeymen are still Ina state of uncertainty. Pittsburg occupies an anomalous position in the land as legards the lock between con tractors and carpenters. In other great centers there is great activity in building lines, but here little has leeii done for tho past two months, on account of the strike. The time lost already cannot be made up this year. Already the lo-es from tho strike reach to tho millions. Fully a half of tho best building time of tho year is lost. More than $2,000,000 of idlo capital would have been distributed to Journeymen before this time if there had been no lock. LITE STOCK MARKETS.

ALL QUIET ON 'CHANGE. The Conditions In Cereals Are Mostly Bear ish Offerings by tongs Let Shorts Down Easily 'No Special Feature In Corn Oats Active, Provisions Quiet. CHICAGO It was a rather quiet day In wheat. Tho conditions at tho open ing wore" mostly bearish. Private tlispatchcs confirmed the fact that the weather through out the winter wheat belt was clear, and that tho conditions for harvesting were favorable. Cables were weak, Liverpool quoting prices Jd lower. The weather abroad was also said to be fine, Along with these items of bearish intelligence came a statement that the amount of wheat on ocean passage had Increased nearly 1,600,000 bushels. After a time a correction came, saying that there was a decrease of that amount instead of an increase. This put quite another face on tho mffcter. Then dispatches were re ceived sayj--j that 10 boatloads had been taken at New York for prompt shipment, and that 40,000 bushels cleared from New Orleans. There were some evidences, in tho pit, or nervousness among some July snorts. The fears of the shorts in the face of a flat toring crop outlook aro the results of tho light oficrings.'tho constantly decreased do mestic stocks, thestcady export movement and the fear or manipulation. There may or may not bo good ground for suspicion in the last named direction. There was a dis position among the longs also to get out of the July deal, and their offerings let the shorts down easily. Julv oijened at Oilic: hung for a time around 91J4604c;advanced to94c:droppod to 04c later: sagged again,this time touching 93Jc on late easy cables, and closed at 93c. Corn developed no special feature during the day. There was at times a good demand, with July in some advance, as tho offerings were only moderate, but the long features m ere offered freely and the tendency was to weakness. July shorts seemed disposed to even up, and at one time that month was 4 cents over September. July started at 543c; advanced, fluctuated between 55o and 55jc; touched 55c: broke to the opening price on the announcement of heavy estimated receipts for to-morrow; sagged to 54c, with wheat, and closed 54e. Oats were fairly active. Shorts covering made a strong opening.but the market weak ened later. July started at! 35c; sold to Sffic: eased off to 35c, and closed at that.

FEATUBES OP LOCAL SPECULATION Mrs. Margaret Watson, of Allegheny, a lady of ample means and active benevo lence, donated a piece of ground 100x135 on Perrysvillo avenue, near the residences of James Hunter and Major Pentecost, to tho now mission seminary schoolpf tho Presby terian church, as a site for the now building which it is proposed to erect as soon as pos sible. It will cost, according to present estimates, $20,000, but. this sum may be in creased or diminished. The building fund has been augmented by a contribution of $500 from the church. The rest will be raised by private subscriptions of members of tho church and friends of the enterprise, Sound at Top and Bottom. Real estate is moving almost, if not quite, as freely as at the same time last year. This, In the face of a strike which has temporarily retired a number of buyers, shows that tho market possesses in a large degree tho sav ing element of Inherent strength. The de mand for use is so large as to assure perma nent activity. It may rise and'fall with the exigencies of the financial situation, but so long as the city maintains its expansive en ergy, stagnation, or even a material shrink ago in the volume of transactions. Is impos sible Pittsburg has started oat to become a city of homes, and will not stop until this end is attained. A well-known business man returned to tho city yesterday from an extensive trip to the West and Northwest. While most of the large cities in these parts of tho country showed evidence of thrift he remarked nono of them could compare with Pittsburg in substantial growth. In Chicago, for in stance, "to-let" appeared so often as to bo come monotonous. Hundreds of houses in the Suburbs were tenantless. Hero there are not enough houses by at least 1,000 to supply tho immediate demand. But it is gratifying to know that measures aro being adopted by syndicates and individual builders to meet this want. Unless all signs fall, building in Pittsburg during the next two or three years will surpass in extent and value anything on record in this lino since the great fire. The multiplication of factories, stores and shops demands it. It is a necessity. Capl- miisis see it, uiiu urc uegiuiiing iu reuu&u that the.ro is no better field for Investment. With such backing there is no more proba bility of stagnation in real estate, or of a re duction in values, than thero is of tunneling Mt. Washington by tho West End Railway Company. ' Facts appearing daily show that real estate', is in good shape and moving briskly. The lot market is especially and notably active. There are more buyers for use than ever De fore, and less speculation. Everybody, from tho millionaire to tho dav laborer, has confi dence in the market. This is not mislead ing.. It would bo a crime to advise hard working people to invest for the benefit of speculators or boomers. The Intrinsic valuo of Pittsburg real estate, and the certainty of its enhancement are urged as sufficient rea sons why the man who earns his bread and butter by tho sweat of his brow should strain every p int to secure a homo while it is within his reach. This will be harder to do next year or the year after than it is now. In this case dolav. if not damrerous. will turn I out to be costly. No Pear or Tight Money. Tho Financial .Chronicle remarks: "What wo call money is as easy as any borrower could wish, and just now promises to bo easy lor short dates through the year, even though the Government should not add a dollar to the' stock afloat. Besides, there is every reason to expect that the supply will bo added to, Secretary Foster, in an ad dress made this week in Ohio, said, in speak, ingofthe extension of 4 per cents at 2 per cent, that 'if our hopes are realized wo will be able to add $25,000,000 in national bank notes to the currency of the country.' This statement clearly indicates that the Gov ernment has determined to extend tho 4s at2percent." Business News and Gossip. Mr. D. M. Allston, tho well-known attor ney, has completed plans for a handsome residence on Perrysvillo avenue, near tho Presbyterian Sunday school mission. The list of East End, Allegheny City and Sewickley properties which Samuel W. Black & Co. will offer for sale to-morrow at the Real Estate Auction Board rooms, as shown by their advertisement in this issuo of The Dispatch, embraces an excellent selection and is well worth the attention of buyers.( Work hasbeon commenced on eight dwell ings at Kensington and material for others is on tho way. Hon. John N. Neeb shows his confidence in ireal estate by investing in it. He will find it even better than politics. Recent purchases on North Diamond, Alle gheny, have stirred up fresh interest in real estate on the Northside, .and a number of big deals promise to bo the immediate out come. Years ago Hays station, now Glenmawr Park, was a favorite summer resort for Pittsburg people. It is a delightful resi dence locality. There will be a sale of lots tliere on Tuesday next by Reed B. Coylo & Co. The Hazelwood Oil Company has "declared a quarterly dividend of i per cent, and tho Fort Pitt Incline Plane Company one of$l per share. The National Treasury yesterday had an available balance of $42,851,473. The Goulds are credited with tho state ment that the railway situation, particularly in the Southwest, has improved most ap preciably. The stock dividend of 33 1-3 per cent lately declared by the Evansville and Terre Haute Railroad, has been postponett.

Pittsburg, Duqnesne and Birmingham Bet ter Th.elr Position Airbrake Also Moves Up No Other Material Changes Out come of the Electric Meeting No Sur prise. Pittsburg stock brokers added very little to their wealth from commissions on sales at the Exchange yesterday. Only 30 shares changed hands. There were some buying orders, but they were below the market, and sellers -were sanguine enough to refuse concessions. Interest mainly centered in the Tractions, which are gradually coming forward as leaders of the market. Pittsburg advanced on the reiteration of the report that an ar rangement of some kind would be 'made with the Duquesne at the end of the month whereby 3-cent fares would disappear. No one would vouch for the correctness of the report, but nearly all the brokers spoken to said that from their information they had no reason to doubt it. Duquesne was also firmer for tho same reason. Binning ham was in demand around 21. It has been doing a land office business since the introduction of the electric cars. Another strong feature was Airbrake. The prospect of an annual dividend of 20 per cent has caused a brisk demand for the stock. Tho Natural Gas group was a shade weaker, except Manufacturers', which was steady at 29 bid. Luster finished with a slight gain. Bank stocks were wanted, but bias and offers were too far apart to encour age business. The adjourned meeting of the Westing-, house Electric and Manufacturing Company was slimly attended, and the further ad journment till July 15 .was only what had been expected. Mr. Westinghouso was not present. .Mr. Bannister said the work 'of reorganization was proceeding Batis-. factorily. Tho outcome of the meeting had no perceptible effect on tho stock, which was as dull as possible before, but it added to the discouragement of some of the stock holders, who may attempt to realize, in which event there will be a break In the price. New York was dull and steady. London was lower. The steamship Spree took from New York yesterday $000,000 in gold coin. The continental situation was less strained. It was reported that French crops will be better than represented by recent estimates. Authorities aro nearly agreed that the re turn of gold from Europe will" b'e'gin as early as August. Mr. H. C. Haarstick, of St. Louis, President of the Mississippi Valley Transportation Company, known as the St. Louis Barge Line, says: "We have contracted to the full ca pacity of our barges up to December 1 to carry grain to New Orleans. Our line has a capacity of about 4,000,000 bushels a month." Mr. Haarstick says that Europe will send us $100,000,000 more this year for our crops than last. The shipment of Pennsylvania coal to Ger many has developed into quite a business, and there is talk of its being extended to Denmark.

MOITETAEY M0VEMEHTS. Financiers Keeplng'WatcIi Over the Fall Movement Clearing House Figures. No material change was noticeable in the condition of the local money market yester-. day. The discount branch of the business was perhaps a little more active, but tho calls were far below the ability of tho banks to meet. Interest rates were steady at pre vious quotations. There was no pressure to put out time money, as financiers desire to bo in a position to respond to tho demands of the fall trade Tho crops promise to bo so'largethat It will require an unusually large amount of money to move them. Ex changes through the Clearing House were $2,375,763 35, and balances $349,183. A New York banker is reported as savins: "The money market in this city and in Lon.-. aon is easy, more so man nas qeen tue case for months, and it is well understood that gold exnorts on the present basis do not show a profit, but that they are mado on special orders at some cost to those who take the gold. There is no reason for appre hension about tho money market, and we even believe that those who look for n money stringency in the fall are more likely to be disappointed, as the reserves of tho Western banks are much larger than usual at this season, notwithstanding their recent heavy shipments of currency to this city."

WAIL STREET DUEE PROSPECT OF ONLY A TRADER'S MARKET FOR SOME TIME. Jersey Central Lower and Scores the Only Marked Change Western Banks Have Sufficient Funds to Supply the Granger Market A Wider Bond Market. New.Yohk; June23. The feeling in Wall street is, if anything, .rathor less confident than of lato, the renewal of the gold ship ments having had a .discouraging effect' upon holders, while the bears are making the most of the occasion by the circulation 01 all sorts of rumors. Tho dlscouragment, however, is confined entirely to the smaller class of speculators. The outlook is that until something of a more positive nature is known it will be a trader's market with the extreme dulness an'd light fluctuations wo have had for some time; accompanied by no decided tendency in prices. To-day's market differed in no essential re snect from those of 'the last week or so. and while there was a weak opening, continuing, the effect of tho gold shipments and other depressing ' influences of yesterday, there was no severe pressdre to sell in any part of the list, and after the early selling orders by the foreigners were executed the market displayed a rallying tendency, aided by buy ing for London account of St. Paul, Louis ville and Union Pacific. Lackawanna was tho only weak point on the railroad list, its course of yesterday being reversed, and among the Industrials Cordage dropped. Chicago Gas. in the Into trading, also showed the resulfof bear pressure, and Jersey Cen tral, after selling off materially, failed to re cover, and is the only stock showing any material change for the day. Prominent bankers here say that tho move ment of the crops will hot take as much money from New York as has been antici pated, and that the Western banks are hold ing their funds instead of sending them to New York. At present, therefore, there is little Western money on deposit here. The Western banks show that their reserve is larger than ever before, and that they are in a position to furnish all the-. money needed for the movement of the cropsA. The market In the final dealings generally moved upward slight fractions, and- finally closed firm, nt small .irregular changes for tho day, though Jersey Central is down 1 per cent. 'There was a widening of tho railroad bond market to-day, tut thoaverage result of the 'trading was insignificant still, both as to the amount of business 'done tfnd the effect on pricesotfthe list. tNolnovement of note is to .bo detected among tho issues traded in, and the only chango9 of note are in the act ive bonds. The' sales reached $677,000, but dullness was the only feature of the day. The following table shows the prices of active stocks on the New York Stock Exchange yester day.

Tho lat ter for1 the most arrived in bad shape owing to tho'long distance traveled and the ex tremely hot weather. Southern strawber ries are a thing of the past. Home-grown were in full supply to-day and were slow at a range of 5 to lOo per quart, ior tno nrst time this season the supply of berries ex ceeded demand. At noon large quantities were still in the hands of commission men, and prospects were that shippers would meetwlth heavy losses. Home-raised straw berries are near their end for this season. At the Monday meeting of the Elgin But ter Board a reduction of lc per pound was established, .which means a 20c market here on Friday.

The first of the new crop will be due in a-few days, and, as all re ports from Brazil point to a larze yield, it is difficult to see how there can be any great advance at this season when consumption is light owing to hot weather. Sugars aro firm, and tho general feeling is that any 'future changes must bo toward a higher level. In this faith wholesale dealers are laying in heavy stocks.
