Cereal Bulls "Who Banked on July Grain Are IfoTr Mourning. rLUJIBERS'GOODS AND EIRE BRICK NOTES Oppice op Pirrsmmo Dispatch, TorsDAT, .Tunc SO. Tho extremely low prices of Ohio cheese of late hero resulted in bringing a number of salesmen -who represent 'Western Reserve factories to our cities who have como to look .into things. Thomas H. Rose, of Cortland, O., who represents ten factories of that sec tion; E. E. Olin, who represents the Dolph factory of West Andover, and another repre sentative of Ohio checsedom were in our city to-day looking up their interests. It s-eoms that Pittsburg cheese markets are relatively lower than at other trade centers of late, and salesmen are on tho ground to inquire into the wherefor. New York cheese has held up better this season than Ohio make. In former years Cannd", from which has come large quanti ties of cheese made on the New York style, furnished large quantities for our markets. The duty of 6c per pound on foreign cheese, which the McKinley bill established, has fflecruallv shut out Canada cheese from our markets; and while New York has been ben efited bv the taritr, so far there seems to be no advantage to Ohio, from the measure of her favorite son, so far as the cheese trade is concerned. Dealers in dairy products are all agreed that the bottom has been reached, and that future changes must inevitably bo toward a hiaher level of prices. It will be seen by reference to domestic market column that choico grades of creamery butter are a shade higher than thev Mere a week ago. It it. evident that the products of tho dairy have passed their lowest point, and that an era ol advancing prices is at hand. Cereals, Fruits and Vegetables. The bulls who a month or two ago banked on an up ard movement of grain are richer in experience and poorer in pocket at this time. There were sales of July corn in the latter part of April at SSc Market price to day is 20c per bushel below this figure. July oats were sold at the Grain Exchange as high as 37o, and prices to-davare little above 10c por bushel. A sale of No. 3 oats at 38e per oushel is recorded in ourmarkct column fo-dav. July wheat is quoted in Chicago to day at POic per bushel, a drop of 10c within the past month. There has seldom been a brighter prospect for a good wheat crop at this season than there is to-day. Farmers in this section are now in the midst of harvesting, and the yield promises to bo larger this season than for nian years past. Thooutlookin thoNorth west is also good, but the harvesting time there in a mouth later than here. A Neville Island gardener, in un interview to-day, had this to say of the fruit and vege table situation and outlook: "The season is three weeks behind the average season in our line. The f rosts of early May kept every thing back. A year ago at this time home raised cabbago was plenty. .Sow there is very little. Home raised potatoes have been in the market for a few days, but they were gathered before they had reached maturity lor the purpose of catching the high marker. Home raised squash and green beans will be on hand in the next few days. "Tho crop of cherries is unusually large, and is now at its best. In our section trees are so loaded and prices so low that it hard Ij pays to pick the fruit. A month ago we thought that the frost had knocked out the cherries. Now- our chief trouble is to get jiu oi me crop at aeccnr prices.' Plumbers' Goods and Fire Brick. numbers' supplies have not been in as good demand this year as last. The reason for this is obvious. The strike of carpenters, which has'now been on for more than two months, has had the effect of curtailing demand, and there is no longer a possibility of reaching last year's volume of trade, no matter how favorable the situation may be for the remainder of the year. .Said a leading dealer in plumbers' supplies: "The strike has seriously affected our trade for this year. It is a good thing for us that Pittsburg's strike troubles do not reach to the whole country. If they did we might as well shut up shop. Our trade, however, goes far beyond this city, and demand from afar is fuljy up to that of lat season. Prices of lead and copper, which are the main ele ments of plumber's goods, vary very little from prices of a year ago." A yearago at "this time manufacturers of lire brick were unable to till orders, and large concerns like the Edgar Thomson works were forced to watt. There is no longer any trouble to meet all demands. The depressK u of the iron trade together with the long deadlock between journey men and contractors, haw had the effect of curtailing the demand for fire brick, so that the situation is the reverse of what it was a year ago. Prices are essentially the same as they were last year. LIVE STOCK MARKETS. Receipts, Shipments and Prices at East 1.1b erty.and All Other Yards. Cattle Receipts, 755 head; shipments, 100 Lead.

J,..'. .fi FOR BULLS AND BEARS. . "The Grain Markets Afford a Plum tor Each Wheat Weak and Xcrvons, but Corn Strong and Higher Oats and Provisions Follow Corn. CHICAGO Wheat was strong and higher at the opening this morning, recording fig ures a full cent above tho last prices of yes terday, but the advance did not hold, and' after bobbing up and down a couple of times, closed weak and b lower than on yesterday, at the bottom figures of the day. The news of the day was mixed in its tenor, though most of it was bearish. The weather over the harvest fields continued favorable with higher barometer, and the tone of the cable markets wa decidedly bearish indicating extreme depr.-x-ion. In the face of this, ho wever.the local crowd was pervaded by a bullish sentiment, which acted for the higher opening. T'nev had sev eral arguments in support of their position. Tho shorts were vory nervous, and covered a good deal of July around the opening, be cause of the small stock of contract wheat in store Sfil.000 bush els,against 1,S95,000 bush tls a week ago, and because of a rumor that arrangements had been perfected for receiv ing and shipping from 5,000,000 to 7,000,000 bushels during July, which, it was thought, must enhance the price of the cash article materially. runner ueciine was cnecKea uy ine clear ance of 1,000 bushels; by reports that buying orders were being received at the decline, and that 18 boatloads had been taken for July shipment. July sold anywhere between 90jb and 91f c around the opening, went off to W0c, rallied to 90e, and afternoon, on free selling, broke to and closed weak at 89c. against 9"Kc yesterday. Corn was decidedly stronger, active and higher and held a good share of the ad vance. The receipts were about 50 carloads short of the estimates: those for to-morrow were extremely light; stocks in store were only 753,000 bushels. There was an active de mand for cash corn at higher figures and the weather was decidedly cooler and not 1 so good for the growing crop. The result was an active demand to cover shorts, and the old bull contingent was also buying. The offerings were light, and the result was that prices were easily advanced. July opened at S354c, against 53c at the close yesterday, advanced gradually to Kc before noon. Then the shorts having cov ered, and wheat having weakened, corn also grew weak, and with immaterial reac tions, declined to and closed steady" at 54Jc. Oats followed corn, closing with a gain of is cent over yesterday. Provisions were fairly active and firm in sympathy with tho advance in corn, and tho advance of 5 cents in live hogs at tho yards, but weakened later with that cereal. Pork closed with a gain over yesterday of 2c. Lard was unchanged and ribs were 27&c higher. Tne leading rutures ranged as follows, as corrected by John M.

A Buckeye Correspondent Takes Interest in Pittsburg Realty. THE BEST FIELD MR ENTERPRISE. A Yery Quiet Day on 'Change and a Lower Leyel of Prices Established. OFFICE AND STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP A Cinton, O., correspondent asks: "What is the highest price ever paid for business property in Pittsburg? I may invest." The best recorded sale was that of the Trades men's Bank property, corner of Wood and Fourth, about two years ago. It brought $4,200 a foot front. It conld not be bought at anything near that price to day. There have been sales on Fifth avenue at about $3,500. Smithfield street property is stiff at $2,500 to $3,500. Fourth avenue frontage, between Smithfield and Market streets, is valued at $3,000 to $3,500. The appreciation of business property in Pittsburg, owing to an active de mand, is so constant that tho prices of to-day afford no criterion of those of to-morrow, and the purchaser, as a general thing, must como up to the views of tho owner or do without. There is practically no shaving of' values on down town business property. Best Field for Enterprise. Each succeeding year strengthens the claim that Pittsburg possesses unequaled advantages as a manufacturing and com mercial center. Her position In respect to iron and glass, coal and coke is so well estab lished as to be unassailable. In the last few years she has become one of the principal distributing points fordrygoods and lumber, the total sales of which last year aggregated about $30,000,000. Other industries are springing up which in a short time will as sume great importance. All kinds of manu facturing and mercantile pursuits can be carried on here on a more economical basis than at anv other place in the country a fact so well recognized that real estate brokers are overrun with applications from outsiders for sites. and stands. The latter are scarce, but sites are abundant and com paratively cheap, ranging from $500 to $1,000 an acre, with railroad or river frontage, gas, coal, etc. Many of these are in the city proper, but if the outskirts he preferred, they exist In profusion In and near the score of new towns that environ the city on every side, and offer an unlimited field for capital and enterprise. Business News and Gossip. There are no anticipations of trouble In making quarterly and semi-yearly settle ments. The usual dividends will be" declared by Pittsburg corporations next month. It is thought none will be passed. The New York Produce Exchange will be closed from Thursday afternoon until Mon day morning, and it Is likely the Stock Ex change will adopt the same course. If so, the Pittsburg Xxohango wUl also close. There seems to be a disposition among busi ness men to celebrate the Fourth In a be coming manner. The Boston HeralA says: "The Westing house reorganization plan is in a fair way to be successfully consummated. Mr. Westing house Is determined to push hl3 company toward dividend conclusions." The Xorthern Pacific Railroad Company has called $229,000 first mortgage 6s, payable at 110 in New York July 2. The range drawn Is from No. 353 to 53,390 inclusive. There is said to be serious trouble among the coal roads. They object to Reading's contract with Coxe Brothers. A prominent Pittsburg contractor has bought eight lots in Kensington, which he will improve. Improvements are still being made to the East Liberty stockyards, showing that their removal has been relegated to the indefinite future. The surplus of the Mexican Central after the purchase of its priority 5s was $4,500,000. A shortage of cars is expected about the time tho crops begin to move. A great many lot owners are awaiting a settlement of the strike to begin building. It is thought there will be plenty of time to begin and finish ordinary houses before cold weather. One of the Olivers is renorted to have said a day or two ago that they had a largo num ber of orders on hand, and there was no good reason why their mills should not run every day during the rest of the year. Building on Liberty street, at the scene of the recent fire, -ygill begin as soon as work men can be obtained.

The re sult of tho day's limited operations was a lower range of prices. There was some im provement in New York: and London was stronger, but these influences wore unheeded here. The fact Is, as often stated, Pittsburg in vestors are carrying aEout as heavy loads as they can comfortably manage "in the present condition of the market. If thev were to undertake to realize they would de press values, and as they are not compelled to sacrifice their holdings, they can do no better than watch and wait. Men in this po sition cannot be expected to do much buy ing none, in fact, except when necessary to sustain their suecial interests. There was no news of importance and very littlo gossips. Occasionally a broker ven tured a remark about tho Traction's confi dence in the future, which is steadily f;ainlng strength. They are so closely iden ifled with the material growth of the city that all who have closely investigated the subject look upon their success in time as already settled beyond tho reach of hazard The earnings of all tho lines are being stead ily augmented and expenses cut down. The Duquesne people, It is said, have decided to adopt the triple motor system, but whether Thomson-Houston or Wcstinghouse is still an open question, nor does this concern the public so long as the requisite degree of speed be attained. This, it is said, will he secured and speedy and certain transit as sured. Philadelphia Gas made a further conces sion, due to the general apathy of tile mar ket, and the rest of this group followed suit, but declines were in no case important or significant. This Is the time .of year when the earnings of these corporations are at the lowest and when they present the least in ducementto speculators. That they practi cally hold their own' shows a strong under tone and sufficient confidence to keep them afloat. Tho supply of gas is more than suf ficient for present requirements, and a num ber of good wells are held in reserve for next fall and winter. Yesterday's sales on call were: First caU-70 Philadelphia Gas at 1 After call 40 Duquesne Traction at 16, 10 at 16. Second call Xo sales. Third call 10 Pleasant Valley at 23.

WALL STREET CHEERS UP. PROFESSIONALS BEGIN BtTING lYTTH HOPE OF A RISE. Material Advances in Stocks All Along tho Line International Markets Especially Strong Industrials and Coalers at First Inclined to Be Sluggish. New York, Juno 30. The feeling in Wall street to-day was decidedly more hopeful owing in great part to the liberal purchases by Lopdon and consequent forcing of a portion of the short interest to cover, while the near ap proach of the liberation of a vast amount of funds, of which a great portion must find its way into speculative channels, was not without its influence. The market again displayed considerable animation, and there was an absence of bad news, which, encour aged some new buying, and the easier con dition of foreign exchange gave promise that after all no further shipment of gold would be made this week. The market was still narrow, but the dis position to buy In anticipation of a turn in the course of the market was decidedly more pronounced among the professional ele ment, and stocks which are held largely abroad felt the stimulus to a greater extent than usual of lato. The Western stocks, as usnal, led the market both In activity and strength. Tho movement was steadier than during any of the late rallies, and while no marked spurts were seen during the day the aggregate at the close of the day was seen to be very material, all of the leading shares at the best figures showing gains of over 1 per cent. The Industrials and Coalers were in cline! to be sluggish in the beginning, but Chicago Gas, and afterward Sugar, felt the stimulus, while the Coal stocks, with tho ex ception or Reading, were dull though ex hibiting a strong tone. The opening displayed a marked change In sentiment since yesterday, first prices be ing all fractionally higher than last even ing's final prices. Stocks with an interna tional market were specially strong, and Louisville and Nashville and St. Paul were specially prominent in the upward move ment. The rest of tho list saw no setback whatever, and material gains were scored even among the inactive stocks. The mar ket Anally closed quiet but steady at top figures. The changes are all advances, and while most stocks are up large fractions, Jersey Central rose fy, Chicago Gas. 2; LouisviUe, 2; Tennessee Coal, 2: Union Pacific, lJi: Missouri Pacific, ljj; Sugar, St. Paul and Northern Pacific ureferred, ; Atchison, Chicago, Columbus, Cincinnati and St. Louis, Northwestern and Southern Pacific. 1; Rock Island and Wheeling and Lake Erie, 1; Burlington and Richmond and West Point, 1, and Cordage, New Eng land and Pacific Mail, 1. Railroad bonds did not share In the activ ity In stocks, and they did not feel the stim ulant of tho new deal, and the tone was firm throughout the entire day. The Atchison incomes made a sharp advance, but no other movement of importance was. seen during the day. The sales amounted to $645,000, with no special animation in the list at any point.

Though the people of the Thirteenth ward have no lack of timber, both malo and fe male, for schoolprincipal, they have a hard time getting one. The school board has taken 21 ballots without result, and the body is now taking its wind, and on Friday even ing another attempt will be made to get a majority for someone. There were 17 candi dates at first, but they have dropped out until only about four or five remain. Thoro appears to be no scandalous flght, so far as can bo learned, and each director claims that his action is basod on his desire to do the best he can for tho school.

J Counthv Produce (Jobbing Prices) Con trary to general expectations, choice cream ery butter is a shade higher this week than last. At the Monday sales at Elgin markets were firm at Ha advance on last week, when markets were weak. Demand for country butter Is Improved this week, a fact which is probably dno to the extensive cake baking for Fourth of July. Eggs are moving freely, an outside quotations obtain for strictly fresh stock. Berries and melons are coming in in quantities beyond tho capacity of our market to absorb, and prices are tending downward. Commission houses were over stocked with ras'nbcrries this morning, and prospects at noon were that there would be some unloading at a sacrifice to the shipper. Home grown raspberries are now to the front. One commission firm reported re ceipts and salos of 100 crates of home gTOwn raspberries this morning. Southern potatoes are plenty and lower.
