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.

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

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.

Architect J. W. Offerman is preparing

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.

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.

A. J. Lawrence & Co., in their weekly letter
reviewing local financial affairs, say: "Fiom
now untu the middle of next month tho pub
lie will be occupied with semi annual settle
ments, and tor another month after they are
over, with seeking recreation. 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."

reasonable to suppose that there may be
an unnoticed something that Is preventing
people from availing themselves of profits
from a prospective Improvement in tho in
trinsic valne of stocks. 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."

The Changes Each Day Slight, but Aggre
gate aiatcrlaUy During Seven Days In
dustrials tho Weakest Point, Especially
Cordage, Sugar and Gas Bonds Heavy.
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.

agreed to return it -without premium when
it was wanted in the fall. Bankers here ao-

Erie preferred. 1, and Louisville and Nash
ville, 1 per cent.
Kaihoad bonds were quiet but followed
tho share list closely in temper and re
mained heavy to weak. The limited trading
pi evented any material change in the active
bonds, hut Baltimore and Ohio 5'a of 1385 lost
2 at 102. Tho trading reached $353,000.
M ore Active but Weak.
John M. Oakley & Co. received the follow
ing over their private wire: "Tho market
for the last two days has been more active
than for somo timo past, but at tho expense
of values. 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.
"Xhe dooks 01 tne a.ouisvuio and Nash
ville Railroad closed Juno 25. On Monday,
Julv 6, the stockholders of record will meet
to consider and it approved to assent to and
approve ot the purchase by said company of
tho purchase ol the Kentucky Central Rail
way, and to ratify and appiove of tho taking
by the said company of its proportionate
part of certain proposed Increased stock of
the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
Railway, and to consider and voto upon a
proposition to increase the capital stock of
the Louisville and Nashville road from $13,
000,000 to a sum not to exceed $55,000,000, in
order to. provide funds for the above-mentioned
purposes, aud for such purposes us
maybe appioved, and for tho transaction or
such other business as may be brought be
fore said meeting.
"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.
"Tho general market is fall of stop orders,
and any luithcr pressure of long stock will
cause qulto a sharp decline.
"The exchango market remains very
strong, and theieare rumors that an addi
tional $5,000 000 gold will be shipped next
wcck to tno iiUHK 01 1 muve, who 111 oruer to
get It have agreed to return It without
premium in the fall.
"We expect to see the Grangers lower the
first of the woek."
Waiting for Good Things.
Henry Clows & Co. furnish the following
In regard to stocks and gold exports: "Wall
street is still In an expectant mood, but the
good things hoped for fall to put in an ap
pearance. There is little tho matter with
the condition; the main trouble appears to
be In the lack of buyers; and I why they aro
not forthcoming Is not altogether an agree
able question for contemplation. It is ordl
narilv taken for crranted thiit. when thlnt.it
.on all sides Are conceded to be cheap and
yet noDoay wants tnem, tne trouoie
is to be attributed to the buyers.

THEATRICAL IT0TES.
Sidney R. Ems leaves for New York to
day to prepare for the opening of Charles A.
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"
