Long Holders in Grain Lose AH Courage, and a SeUIng Craze Sets in, Feebly Inter rupted by a Few Small Reactions Pro visions Vcrj Quiet. CHICAGO Wheat was weak to-day, and, though there wcio occasional small reac tions, they were of brief duration and were generally followed by recessions to lower figures than before. Tho published accounts of destructive storms in the West led to a little show of steadiness at the start, but the signal service reported fair weather through out the wheat belt, and numerous dispatches conflimed this intelligence, reporting fine harvest weather and the resumption of operations in that lino. , Cables, both public and private, quoted the foreign markets dull and lower, with a discouraging outlook. It was said that there was no demand, and that offers and solicita tions brought no bids. Tho .weather in France was reported hot and forcing. Tho fact was recognized that new wheat would soon appear on tho market in large quanti ties. Corn was weak and declining, and brokers were loaded with selling orders from outside points. Tho result was free liquidation on July contracts. Holders who had been hanging on in hopes of a turn for tho better lost all courage and decided to drop their burden. Short sellers were made bolder than ever, and, while the offerings wero thus increased, tho demand was loss than usual and an intensely weak markot was the natural result. July opened at 91K31c; broke without any considerable reaction to S9c: reacted to 90?c; broke again to S9c; rallied again and closed at 90e. Corn was nctiv e but decidedly weak. The fine growing weather, the unexpectedly heavy receipts and the demoralization which prevailed in tho other grain pits ex ercised a most depressing influence. The courage of the hitherto most stalwart bulls became exhausted, and there was an indis criminate slaughter of long property. When it vvasffered no one seemed to want it, and there was an immediate decline. July started at 52c. sold at B2ic, but it was only a few minutes be fore it was selling at 51c. Then shorts began to buy in to secure profits, and there was a reaction to 52Jc. Later the sell ing craze again broke out, induced partlv by the estimato for Monday, and Jul v fell o"ff to filKc, reacted some and closed at 51c. Oats shared in the general we.iknossin other grain. July stai ted at S3J33Jic, but everybody seemed to havesome lor sale, and there was a stead y drop to 32Jc, fluctuated some and closed at S2Jc. Provisions w ere quiet. Tho opening vwis firm at slight advances over yesterday's close. Thero was a further small apprecia tion, then a reaction with gains, and the close was at medium figures and without change compared with j esterday. Tho leading futures ranged as follows, as corrected by John M. Oakley ft Co , 45 Sixth street, memuors oi cincago jocaro. ot Trade; Select Knights of America. Comrade Trout, formerly of Spirtan Legion No. 7, has deposited his card in Pitts burg Legion. He is one of the best-workers in the order. Comrade C. L.

Badges for lodges and societies at Me Mahon Bros. & Adams', 52 Fourth avenue. su Real estate brokers are almost unani mously of the opinion that property owners are making a mls.take by refusing to make concessions. The trond of prices for every thing except land is downward, and there scems to be no good reason why real estate should not yield something to stimulate bus iness. This would not be an ovidence of weakness; it would only place it in line with tho general sentiment of investors. Owners should remembor that "tho other fellow" also Ukes cream with his berries. A Big Seal Spoiled. That the best of plans gang aft aglee Is proved by dally experience. A prominent real estate broker said yesterday: "The worst 'knock out I ever bad occurred some thing over a year ago. Thero was a big de mand for downtown property. Capitalists would talk about nothing bnt business blocks. Considering it a good timo for a big deal, I aroused the intorest of throe or four heavy capitalists, one of whom lived in Philadelphia, in the Holmes property on Fifth avenue, and secured an option on it and several adjoining pieces at somothing like $GC0,C00. My men- were ready with the cash, and everything went well nntil by somo means one of the papers got wind of it and announced that 'a syndicate was dicker ing for the Holmes property for hotel pur poses.' This alarmed some of the owners, and when tho option expired they would not renew it except at a big advance, which my principals would not agree to. The scheme therefore fell to pieces. The prop erty was not wanted for a hotel, but for a business block that would have over shadowed everything else of tho kind in the city. But for the premature publication I believe I would hare succeeded in landing tho property." Talues Looking Up. Thero has been no further movement in North Diamond, Allegheny, property, since tho two transfers reported last week. The conviction Is so firmly planted thattho post ofllce will be landed in that neighborhood, that a good many options have been secured on adjacent realty In all cases at advances over prices of six months ago. Father Shecdy's Church. Architect J. W. Offerman is preparing plans for Rev. Fathor Shecdy's Church of St. Mary of Mercy, corner Third avenue and Ferry street. It will be built of brick and stone. The inside w ork will be plain and substantial. The dimensions will be 50x7!): tlie highest points on the -Inside will bo 33 feot. There will be a small tower but no bell. It will cost about $20,000. Work -on this structure will be commenced early In the fall. Ground will bo broken this week for the Italian Church, corner Tunnel and Webster streets. Looking for a Bnlgo. At Sharpsburg work on the extension of the Citizens' Traction road is being pushed with such vigor that citizens hope soon to enjoy the luxury of rapid transit. The main street is being sewered. A citizen of that place said yesterday: "Improved means of locomotion will revolutionize our town. 1 Business will expand, building flourish and real estate increase in vaiue. v e nave a fine prospect before us." Electric Railroad Development. The electric railway system of Pittsburg Is one of the largest in the country. Some sta tistics on this subject may bo interesting. The first rcgulaily operated electric railway In tho United States was opened at Baltimore in 18S3. The development which followed was unprecedented. There are now not less than 323 raids in tho United States, England, Germany, Italy, Australia and Japan, roj quiring over 4,000 pars and 7,000 motors, with 2,600 miles of track, with a (Lilly mileage of not less than 400,000 miles, and carrying 730,-J 000,000 of passengers annually. Not less than, lO.OOOpersons represent thenumberemployed on these roads. Fifty millions of capital in vested in this country alone, and a present annual business of not less than $8,000,000 to $10 000.000 on the part of the manulacturlng and contracting electrical companlos, show the present standing of the street railway work. Business News and Gossip. It Is expected rapid transit will cause quite a bulge in business in Sharpsburg. C. A. Moore & Co., commission morchants, have closed out their business to J. E. Ken nedy & Co., who will keep things moving at the old stand. A small farm near Tarentum changed owners yestei day at $73 per aero. Superintendent Porter, of the Consus Bureau, says: "The future centers of Iron manufacture will bo Puget Sound, on the Pacific coast, Birmingham, East Tennessee and North Carolina in tho South, and tho Pittsburg region in the North.

No Activity In Anything at Home or Abroad Concessions in tho Majority Semi Annual Settlements ABrisk and Higher Market In the Fall. It was a bearish week on the local Stock Exchange. Continued shipments of gold, labor troubles and inability to shape coming events Infused a weak feeling into all the speculative 'markets, which was not offset by tho best crop news for years, and tho re sult was a lower range of prices for almost everything traded in. The usually inactive shares wero about tho only ones that made a show of strength, thoy belngso cheapas to be considered a purchase and to involve no risk. Closing Tirlops rT lncnl arnrka a ComTOirCd with those of tho previous Saturday show that nearly all of the so-called leaders lost gipmia.

That will bring us up pretty close to the first of Sep tember, and in the me-intlmo Uttlo activity is to be expected in the stock markot. The selling of stocks and bonds duiing this period, and especially of homo securities, may bo pretty generally attributed to forced liquidation, because no one selects a dull market in which to sell to best advantage. "It is a noteworthy fact that, notwith standing tho abnormal condition ot financial affairs the v oild over, less apprehension has been expressed regarding the half-yearly settlements Just at baud that at any corre sponding time in years past. Last fall pes simists said: "Wait until the first of Janu ary; then the weak spots in the financial fabric will be disclosed.' The first of January was passed without trouble, and tho dato was then advanced to April. The settle ments for this quaiter were also satisfactory, and the trouble breedors have apparently taken a rest. -.'Thero aro, however, two or three local drag-weights which have impeded financial operations for months past. Tho develop ments ot tho past week indicate that at least one of these will be speedily removed. We refer to the Westinghouse Electric Com pany's affairs. The strong probabilities aro that the plan of reoigamzation will be adopted at the adjourned meeting on the 15th prox. We do not look for any immediate results to follow in the market, but tho an nouncement that theso affairs have been finally adjusted will contubute to an im- S roved feeling. Tho others referred to have een generally discounted. "Philadelphia Company suffered a deellno of 2 per cent tho past week, tho weakness being attubuted to a shortage of gas. Whether reports to this effect aio well lounded or not, wo cannot say, but wo know that tho company is making every effort uw lumen winwjrs utcua. "Street railway shares have been dnll.with a slightly drooping tendency. The latter is due to the dullness and the promi nence given tho veto of tho mo tor bill. We bclievo tho effects of the defeat of this bill hive been exaggera ted, owing to political considerations. Its passage would not havo inci cased a single line on any of the lines and its defeat will notdimlnish the receipts or increase the ex penditures of the various roads. Tho bonds of these companies aro sure to become a favdritc investment, and the stocks are Just as sure to become the favorite of speculative traders. Like wine, thoy will improve with age, because the sources of revenue are con stantly Increasing with tho city's progress. As true an axiom as was ever uttered, but one difficult to follow, is: 'Buy when they are weak and sell when they are strong.' "Oui ad ice during tho dull period now at hand would be, if you cannot act according to the axiom, at leist donotfoico your se curities upon an unwilling market if youare able to carry them thiough tho summer. The consensus of oniuion on the street is thatvvo shall havo an active and higher mantel next laii. By that time tho ciops will be garnered, the railroads will be carry ing an enormous tonnage, the money now accumulated In bink will be in circulation among tho people, and the bustle and activ ity of fall trade will create a confident feel ing in general business circles." lcsterday's sale3 wore 50 Birmingham -Lcuuuuii at 2u, iu busier at i'i, ioj I'lillauol phia Gas at 1V.

Each of theso items shoved an increase over the previous week. A disstusted broker said: "I havelost all hopes of relief to the market from anything the producers will do. They talk and talk, and do nothing else. The only way to Im prove the market is to lay pipes and build refineries. Producers know this, but they haven't the courage and enterprise to do it.''

When it is consid ered that no more than eight months ago Wall street was visited by a cyclone that swept away every vestige of speculative margins and left many operators without the means of recovering the wherewith to operate, it does seem rather sanguine to ex pect that already the places of these dis abled operators should have been refilled by a new contingent of well-equipped, buyers. "Ordinarily, the bond market Is regarded as affording a good criterion of what may be expected in the share market: and It is sound reasoning, when wo find nobody wanting unexceptionable mortgages yielding 4 to 5 per cent on their market value, to concludo that thero Is a scarcity of funds seeking in vestment: nnd the reasons that make money scarce for investment nre Hkely to make ft still more so for speculation. This obstacle to buying Is the moro important when, as In tho present case, it applies not only to our own market but also to the foreisn markets that deal In our securities. And it is further to be considered that tho market Is still struggling against an extra supply of stock, which was in part sent here pending last fall's break in the foreign markets and in part contributed by the large local realizing on both investment nnc speculative holdings at about the same time. "Theso factors are not cltod as amounting to a really insurmountable obstacle to any advanco in prices in the comparatively early future, but rather as largely explain ing the past and present quiet of the market and as suggesting reasons for moderate ex- Fcctations for possibly some time to come. t would bo a mistake to infer from them that the promised abundant harvest, the comparative ease in money, tho relatively strong condition of tho bank reserves, and the probable return of large amounts of gold from Europe within tno next thrco months, will hav e no effect upon the de mand for stocks during the summer ana fall months. Such contributions ts the national wealth and to tho operations of trido as must come from an extraordinary harvest cannot fail to materially augment the funds seeking investment and to sw611 the floating balances that constitute an Important part of the resources that contribute to transient speculation. It Is not impossible that theso reinforcements may suffice to compensate for the loss of speculative means above re ferred to. "Considerable surprise Is felt at the con tinued exports of gold, though they aro on a reduced scale. It is inconceivable that, after the extraordinary amount of cashliqui dations this country has lately made, there can still be outstanding against us an ad verse foreign balance. Wo must therefore regard the continued shipments as due en tirely to special caues. Tho principal cause nppcars to be that while there is an abund ance of exchange being made to meet all necessary requirements for remittances, yet a considerable poitlon of the bills are nr available in consequencoof tho credit of the payers hav ing been unfavorably affected by the prevailing financial distrust in .Great Britain and on tho Continent. This causes a scarcity of negotiable exchange, and tho result is that wo are remitting gold at a time when the balance of our account with the rest of the world is in our favor. While this causes an unsettled drain upon our cash resources, there is ttio satisfaction that it correspondingly augments tho amount of gold to be returned hither at a later stage."

New York, June 27. The stock market to-day was quiet, but remained weak, many stocks closing materially lower than last evening, while the entire Hst.ls now -materially lower than a week ago. There was nothing in tho news of the day to encourage either new buying or the covering of shorts, and while there was no particular pressure to sell long stocks, the bears were again active and aggressive, nnd by vigorous drives at certain specialties, gavo the entire maiket a weak tono and "broke some shares very badly. The Industrials were again tho most valu able point in the market, and more stOD orders wero uncovered in cordage, which was ovideutly left without any suppoit whatever, and dropped from 96 to 89K. Susar followed, but met with some suppoit and rallied slightly, and Chicago Gas, which was inclined to show somo strength in tho early trading, gavo way toward the close. Several other weak spots were uncovered in the general list, however, nnd Northern Pacific preferred, St. PanlLouisville, Pacific Mail and somo others scored material losses for the day on comparativ ely small trans actions. Tho bank statement was awaited with some anxiety, and was late in nnblientfnn. but while It showed a heavy increase in de posits and loans, tho exports of gold more thin wiped out the increase In reserve, and this was interpreted as a point in their favor by the bears, and the selling for the short account was resumed w ith vigor In tho last few minutes of business, bringing down many stocks which had remained compara tively firm up to that time. Among these the Wheeling and Lake Erie, C, C, C. & St. L. and Northern Pacific preferred were especially prominent. The maiket finally closed fairly active and weak at the lowest prices for the day and week. The final chansres are all declines. and while tho great majority are lorlrac- New York's WIndup.

It opened this morning at about last night's closing prices, followed immedi ately by a break on percent in Louisville and St. Paul. Cordage opened at 93 and broke quickly to 91. There has undoubtedly been liquidation going on tills week in such stocks as Itichmond and Terminal and North American. The Granger stocks have been comparatively steady, and while wo believo they will ultimately sell at considerably higher prices, wo think in the immediate future they will havo to sell lower.

"Thero are rumors current that tho selling of Richmond Terminal was for tho account of Victor New comb, and it undoubtedly leached n number ot stop orders, causing a sharp brak In tho stock.

Gardner at tho Grand Opera House in that city on August 21, in Sir. E11U' new play, "Captain KarL" Hit. Davis' theater made good progress up ward last week, and the solid stone entrance on Sixth stiect begins to loom up porten tously. Unless somo accident occurs tho theater will bo ready in good time for the coming season. Kathhts Kiddeb, whom Manager Shedden has engaged to support Joseph Ilaworth next seaon, played in Pittsburg tho last time in "Held by tho Enenry," wheioin s ,e filled the leading leinalo role, nnd has sinio that dato i on a good do.il of favor -in Lon don, where sho pi.ijed in Wilson Barrett's comnanv. and incidentally ani'cared nt SlarlboioughHouso before the Princess of Wales. It is to Pittsburg's advantage that Managor Henderson has scored an undeniable success with his latest spectaclo, "Sinbad," at tho Chicago Opera House and there is no doubt ing its success lor Pittsburgors visiting Chi cago last week roport that it was oxtrcmely difficult to get seats so great nas the rush in splto of oxtremo beat for it enables Mr. Henderson to carry ont his plans fully of making the Duquesne Theater in every re spect first-class. Tms week Harris, Brttton & Dean will have the celebrated drama, "The Two Orphans," as their attraction. The Standard Dramatlo Company won popular favor by their superior production of "Danltes" t, couple of weoks ago, and they will no doubt renew their favorable Impression by tr-alrpresenta-tion of "Tho Two Orphans" this wee. Mr. Charles Hagar is cast as Pierre, Mr. James Cooper as Jacqua, Miss Benard as Henrietlc, and the others in the cast being thoroughly competent, it is safo to say that a highly sat isfactory rendition of the favorite drama will result" DOCTOR WHJTTIER 814 FENN AVENUE, PITTSBURG, PA, As old residents know and back flies ot Pittsburg papers prove, is the Oldest estab lished and most prominent physician in the city, devoting special attention to allchronlo Ssesre-N0 FEE UNTIL CURED sponsible MCDn I IQ ancl mental dis persons.
