Bark Extract Is a Trmluct to Be Added to Onr Industries. IHE THIEVT A FLOUR OUTLOOK OPFicr op PiiTsnnio DispATcn, ) Tci-Rinv, Julyll. ) .Tbe bark question i- one of great Interest to one of onr mot Important industries, Uamelj . the manufacture of leather. It was Stated In this column a daj or two a);o that the tprnene of Allegheny absorb about 7,500 hides -neoklj With one exception these tanneries vi lilch are ten In number, are de. oted to Hie manufacture of names nd collar leather. One only pro , dace ole leather. In Pittsburg proper there is but one tannery the product of which is belting. Thee cleen tanneries consume in round numbers 05,000 cords of bark annually. Of this amount 40,000 cords arc oak lnrk, and the remaining 25,000 cords are hemlock. The latter comes m the main from Northern Pennj lvanta, nnd the oak bark from the southern part of the State and the Virginias The cot of hemlock b irk 1 about 7 pel cord, and O'lk bark $10 per cord. Trices are the same this season as last, though the snpplj this 3 ear is much larger than last Ity ordinary rules of trade there should be a decline "in prices, especially when, as has been tne case this season, leather has been depressed. But bark con- . tracts are made n rear ahead. Mid, notwith standing the fact that this has been an un usually tavorable year for peeling and pre- serving bark, tanners are paving the old prices. There is this compensation, how ever to tue tanners tnat tneir DirK is siorru in beltei shape and oualitj foi the coming campaign than lor many a year. Tbe dry f prmg w eather of 1S91 it as unusually Fa orable to Bark Peeling, and stock is coming to ninket in much bet ter shape than UMia'. Itark 1- for the most part soldheie bj thecoid. Allegheny City lias an cfiicul measurei In Io-ton and .Eastern cities general! bark is sold by the ton, a ton being con-idcred equal to a cord. Here and 1 et -ale are made bj measure.

Each of the Two Leading Cereals Has but a Temporary Influence on the Other Wheat News All Bearish Corn Ad vances Steadily. CHICAGO Though wheat started higner than at the close on Mondayafternoon.it was weak from the beginning. The news w as about all in favor of the bears, and thev took ad antage of the opportunity to pound the market. .lulv was the chief sufferer, but December sympathized with it to some ex tent. Thorewas a reaction later, and part of the loss wasrecoered. Tho early weather news showed rains In some portions of the Northwest and in Mis souri, but It was generally clear where tho winter wheat harvest is in progress. The arrnalsofnew wheat were about 30 cars more than had been estimated, and tho quality continued at tbe high standard set b previous arrivals. Cables were dull and easj and exports were light. A Pans cable said that there was an overplus of import w heat; that farmers' deliveries were becom ing more free; that the crop indications were good, and Uiat tho outlook there was not fa vorable to higher prices unless American w heat growers -hould carry out their threat to combine and hold their grain The result of this combination of weak news was to stimulate tho selling, and as there was not enough demand to ab-orb the offerings the market gradually weakened. December was at SSc for a moment near the start, fluc tuated narrowly witn a downward ten denc, finally touching S!c At that point a decrease of GOO.OOObushels on ocean passage was reported. Tho estimate for to-morrow put the re ceipts at 275 cars, against 603 received to-day, and at the same time corn began to go up. The re-ult was that the downward move ment in wheat was checked and an advance started. December rallied to 67Jc, but on receipt of a cablegram from London that the talk of a failure of the Russian wheat crop w as greatly exaggerated, and that Russia would hae 64,000,000 bushels for export against an average export of four years of 90,000,000 bushels, tho downward movement was resumed and the price touched 8740 and closed at 87c. July was the weakest and 1 fell from 89JgC to SSMc with hardly any demand and later to 87Mc. closincat87Jic. JewTork wired that cables were easier; that they wcro bringing fewer buying or ders, and that only seen boatloads had been taken for export. Corn opened slightly higher, mainly on light offerings and smaller receipts than w ere expected, but tho weakness an wheat caused a tenjporar recession in the price of corn also Then came the estimate of very light receipts to-morrow. There was an acti e demand for cash corn, and the shorts attempted to co. er. The result was an ex cited rally, and after fluctuating narrow ly during the last hour of the session the mar ket clo-cd about at the top. September opened at 51c, declined to 51ic, held for a time around 31c, advanced to 5llic, fluctu ated and closed there. July started at 55c, sold at 55J.JC, advanced to 5SJc and closed at 58c. . Provisions opened strong and higher on lighter receipts of hogs than expected and an advance of 510c in hogs at the stock yards; but free selling carried prices off some, though there was a recovery later, and the close was at iusigniflcaiit'changes Irom ye-terday's prices.

MISTAKE IN LAYING OUT THE ROAD A Good Citizen Finds Substantial Eyidence of Pittsburg's Growth. MAKING A HOME UNDER DIFFICULTIES The Panhandle Railroad people have not, it appears, abandoned the idea of securing a short cut to Mansfield or -4 icinity by tunnel ing under Mt. Washington. A gentleman connected with the road said yesterday: "We need four tracks badly, but to make room for them we would have to cut into the hill, and this would involve a heavy ex pense and would be no saving of distance. Tbe easiest way out of the difficulty, to my mind, is to tunnel. 1 think property owners beyond the hill would be willing to bear some of the cost, as a tunnel would make their land twice as valuable as it is now by bringing it so close to the city in point of time as to make it desirable to homo seek ers. I think the company made a great mis take when they laid out -the load by not locating it along the ri er where the Lake Erie tracks are." rull of Good Points. Interviews with some of the principal real estate brokers yesterday confirmed the Impression that the market is in excellent condition for midsummer. Lots are selling faster than at any previous time in the his tory of the city, and there is a strong under current of heavy transactions which will in time produce tangible results. In some cases sales are "hung up" by the absence of buyers on their vacations. But, all in all, the market is full of good points, with fair prospectB for a very active fall movement. Values are stiff. If those who think differ ently will go into the market as purchasers they will soon acknowledge their mistake. ISound to Have a Home. Pittsburg people are changing from tenants to proprietors so fast as to give assessors considerable trouble. Home founding is almost a mania. A foroible illustration of this lactcameto light a few days ago. An enterprising Individual pur chased a hillside lot out Second avenue. It cost him about $200, nearly all the money he had. He scooped out a hole about as big as an ordinary room, covered It with boards, and moved hi3 little family into It. He seemed perfectlv contented. "I am paying no rent,'' he remarked, "and will soon save up money enough to build me a snug little house. 1 want to be independent of land lords." Surely where there's a will there's a way. He Was Surprised. Few people fully realize the rapid ad vances in population and building opera tions in Pittsburg in the last few years. A well known business man visited Mt. Wash ington esteraay for the first time since 1882. He w as astonished at tbe change. Said he: "I had heard that tho Mount was being built up, but had no idea of its remarkable grow th. Why, it's a perfect hive. The pop ulation is as dense as in any other part of Pittsburg. When I was here before 1 could have bought a good lot for $200. Now I would have to pay $1,000 or more. The place is full of business, too, and there are as fine churches and school houses as can be found an w here. Seeing is believing. 1 can no longer doubt that Pittsburg is wonderfully ptos perous and growing at a rate almost unex ampled in the hlstor of American cities." If other gentlemen who have hazy notions of the cit 's pi ogress would visit any of the suburban districts, they would see enough In an hour or two to "convert them Irom growlers to enthusiasts. Streets in European Cities. Mr D. P. Black, of Black & Baird, who Is sight seeing in Europe, was in Vienna when last heard from. Fiom that place he wrote that almost any European city could give Pittsburg points on streot opening. Orig inally streets in Continental cities were not more than eight or ten feet wido. With the grow th of business more room became ncces sarv. This was secured by tearing down buildings for miles regardless of expense or whowere benefited orinjured. In Vienna, Mr. Black says, some of tho streets which have not been widened are so choked with traffic that many of tbe banks are located on the second and third floors. At one bank where he had business he had to ring the door bell before he could gain admittance. Business News and Gossip. George Wifliams is having plans drawn for a block of 10 houses on Fremont streot, Allegheny. Mr. Jacob Keller denies that he is nego tiating the sale of his property to Harry Alden, or anyone else.

An Unexpected Spurt or Activity Surpris ing Movement in Hidalgo A Bulge In Switch and Signal Central Traction As sessment. There was an unexpected spurt of activity in local stocks yesterday. It was of home initiation, as no inspiration was received from New York or London. Total sales were 695 shares against 55 the previous day. There were a number of good features. Hidalgo Mining, which has been a wall flower from time immemorial, Joined the ac tive list, 300 shares selling at 3. This is really an advance. The better feeling in this stock was due to a well authenticated report that the company was making money, but how much or little was not divulged. Switch and Signal was another good point. It opened at 8, sold up to 9, and closed at that figure, with the demand unsupplled. The cause of tho bulge was the confldonce expressed in the adoption of the reoiganl zation plan of the Electric and Manufactur ing Companv at to-day's meeting. It will bo remembered that when tbe rupture occurred, which resulted in the reorganization of the Switch and Signal Company, Mr. Westing houee claimed it w as indebted to him $200,000. The company, on tho other hand, claimed $500,000 from Mr. Westinghouse. According to report, Mr. Westinghouso has admitted the correctness of this claim and has agreed to liquidate as soon as the affairs of tllo electric company are ,scttled. The $500,oq( will put the Switch and Signal Company in a secure position by enabling it to wipe out its floating debt. This prospect was suf ficient reason for the advance. The directors of the Central Traction Com pany held a meeting at Whitney & Stephen son's office yesterday afternoon, and alter full discussion and careful consideration lev ied an assessment or $2 50 a share. The books close August 15. The assessment is payable September 1. This money is needed to complete the Center avenue branch of the road. Tho failure to declare a dividend was no surprise, as no one acquainted with the condition of the company had expected such action. Although the outcomo of tho meet ing was not known until nfter the Inst call, tho stock was a fraction stronger. Electric was strong. It opened at 12, sold uril" fll Titiolr nlirl closed nt 12. with a lair demand. The strength was due to tho good prospect of a harmonious meeting and full settlement of the couipan 's affaiis to-day. Philadelphia Gas receded a trifle, but the rest of this group underwent no change. Luster "coreda further advanoe and held it to the close. The weekly meeting of the board will be held to-day, and important news maybe divulged. German National Bank of Allegheny was higher.

Chicago Gas Goes Down on a Jpdlclal De cision Edison Electric Goes Up for a Similar Reason All Other Changes Are Very Slight Losses. New York, July 14 The apathy of opera tors in the stock market, and its resultant dullness and stagnation in the trading, in all probability reached their limits to day, all feature disappearing from the market, while trading on the floor was practically paralyzed. The morning's operation's showed some life, the selling by London aid Chicago encouraging further efforts by the local trading boars to get prices down, but when these, attempts ceased, utter stagna tion took possession of the market. The selling by London was supposed to be on account of the bears after tho fortnightly settlements were over, but Chicago was a seller of Chicago Gas, at the same time, on the passage of the ordinance oer tho Mayor's veto permitting the opposition company to begin business. The decision of Judge Wallace confirming the right of tho Edison Company to the incandescent lamp also infused some life into the market by causing a sharp rise of TJi per cent in Edi son stock. The bears again circulated rumors of a further shipment of gold to-day, but the old story gradually lost its influence, and tho early downward movement reached only slight proportions and soon ceased alto gether. Considerable speculative vigor has lately been Infused into Atchison, and it fairly rivaled St. Paul to-day, Boston being reported as a buyer of stock. There was some inclination to sell sugar on the pios pect of expensh e litigation and, an uncer tain amount of annoyance from it. The market opened under the pressure small fractions lower than last night's fig ures, but the further losses sustained in tho early dealings wero sufficient to bring Chi cago Gas down per cent, while other stocks showed smaller concessions. Bur lington, however, displayed some strength, and Edison shot up rapidly Horn 93 to 105"i. Later in the day Lackawanna weakened and North American showed the influence of the rise in Edison, of which the company is a holder, but the movements weie slight In all cases. It is a waiting market pure and simple, oporators being disposed to postpone a formation of opinions till the showing of the earnings on the 'new crop are seen, ana while London bankers report a growing feeling in favor of American securities, the buying from that source is insignificant at present. The pressure upon Chicago Gas was kept up till the close and 1 esulted in a material loss for the da v. that being the only8tockin which any important change. uucurreu. 1110 lato dealings snow eu no iui- Srovement in the tone of the market, which nally closed dull but heavy at about tho, lowest figures, though In most cases only slightly changed from those of last evening. Chicago Gas, however, is down lf per cent at 49. While the demand for bonds from in- vestors continues very moderate, there is a strong disposition shown to subscribe to commercial investment stocks which aro now coming on the market. Tho Lorillard stock recently issued was over-subscribed, and the Trow directory stock placed before the public to-day shows largo advance sub scriptions. Railroad bonds to-day were like stocks even less animated than usual of late, the total transactions reaching only $570,0&0,.w hile tho usual lack of movement in the active issues was seen. Nevertheless, Delaware and Hudson and Pennsylvania 7s lost 3 at 140. The following ble show s the prices of active stocks on the New York Stocl Jjcchange yester day.

One of Them Falls Prom a Third Story "Window at a BalL rSPECJAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCTt.l WiLLiAMSFORT, July H. Camp Maloney was comparatively quiet to-day. No partic ular programme had been arranged, and many of the veterans spent the day visitiDg the points of interest about Wllllamsport. Considerable time was spent at the various industrial establishments. As on previous days, many Grand Army men arrived in the city to-day and swelled the numbers at the camp. While a ball, given by the Sons of Veter ans, was In progress this morning shortly after midnight, Frank Lewis, a Grand Army man of Shamokin, who was at the ball, fell from a third story window to the street be low. In his fall he struck a wooden awning over a store in the first storv and from that he fell to the street below. He was taken to the hospital, when it was found that five ribs were broken and that he had several contusions. The physicians ha e hopes of his recovery. The usual dress parade oc curred this evening, and the camp was crowded with visitors until a late hour. KAVAJ0S PBEPAEIHQ FOB WAB. They Will Aim to Establish Their Claim on Grazing Lands by Force. Flagstaff, Ariz., July 14. A sheep herder arrived at this place last night with the information that Navajo Indians were gathering in vast numbers and seemed to be greatly excited. They are preparing to resist any attempt on tho part of the Gov ernment to arrest tbe leaders in the raid on the cattle and sheep ranges in this vicinitv. They have warned the stockmen to leave their imaginary territory to them, threaten ing their lives if they do not do so, and it is the belief of the people that this is the com mencement of the expected outbreak of the Navajos. Twenty-five more citizens left here last night to reinforce Sheriff Francis and his posse of cowboys, and telegrams have been forwarded to the Governor, asking for troops to be ready to come at once. The Sheriff issued w a r rants for the arrest of the chief and others, but it is believed that they will only succeed in making things worse, as they are only a handful to so many well armed Indiais.
