Allegleny County Farmers Depend on the

Tumdat, July 23.
Amonp the manv beneficent results to
trade spriring: from the great crops has
been an imusually active season for agricul
tural implements. All Pittsburg dealers in
these, linos report this as the best year in the
history of the trade. Last year, and in fact
f'jr a number of years, the sharp competi
tion between the representatives of reapers,
mowers binders and all agricultural ma
chinery lias resulted in cutting prices in
order to effect sales. This year thore is no
need of cutting, as the goods sell thorn-
sen OS.
Jil lie agricultural implements handled in
Put-burg are for the most part built in Ohio
cities Canton, Massillon, Springfield and
n,-... i l.i., i J.i.' ii ". o

reasons therefor. Wo furnish much of the rnand: choice, steady: extern dairy. llI4c;
iron and steel whicn enter into the construc
tion of agricultural machinery, but n ith the
exception of plow s about all the implements
requncdby the Allegheny county farmers
are manufactured at points west of here.
The old Hall and Speer plow manages to
hold the field, and not onlv supplies tho sec
tion around Pittsburg, "but the regions
le ond to the farthest South and West. The
Allegheny county farmer, however, is de
pendent on the West for his harrows, mow
ers, corn-planters, binders and nagone.
These things ought not so to be. There is
Jio good reason why all these articles should
not be made at the center of the iron and
frteel trade of the United States. Vast
amounts of money are sent forth
from Pittsburg to enrich Ohio
and Indiana towns and cities whioh should
be kept at home. Said a representative of
one of our firms devoted to the supply of
farmere' implements- "We have sold nearly
t ice as much as w e did last season, and all
dealers in our lino report an extraordinary
"trade. Our trade does not go out of Alle
gheny county, to any extent, and yet our
sales of mowers and binders this season will
reach oer 303. Fullv 1,000 spring-tooth

"It -would be within bounds to say that 500
lieaxj farmers' wagons hae been handled
"by l'lttshurg firms since tho early spring,
and in addition a large number of delivery
-wagons, ail of which aie constructed at
joints which thrive on Pittsburg's trade.
"The -ea son for the agricultural implement
trade is about at its close, and results are en
tirely satisfactory no dealers ot this city."
The Edgar T lomson Works.
A few days ago the summing up of a week's
work at the Edgar Thomson Steel works
showed that 1G 000 tons of metal had been
produced, and 14,000 tons of steel rails in the
week. All of the nine furnaces are in blast,
and hence tho average yield of metal every
24 hours bj each furnace is about 254 tons.
Tl'ore are orders enough now booked to ab
sorb all the steel rails the Edgar Thomson
works can turn out for the balance of the
reir. The present price of rails is SSOOOto
S3i00per ton, which is $3 50 higher than the
lonest price reached last year. There has
Tjcen no r.d ance in the cost of coke and ore,
but the former is reported ery firm, with a
prospect ot an advance. In this faith or
"with the fear of future troubles in the coke
legion, the Edgar Thomson Company is ac
cumulating large quantities of coke. If there
was a margin of profit left when steel rails
nere selling at $27 50 per ton, there must be
a nice proStac this time. The increase in
price of rci's in the past six months affords
ft daily prc-fir of almost $5,000 to the Edgar
Thomson Works.
AN EARLY BULGE.
Speculators in Grain and Provisions "Who
Tailed to Take Advantage of It Hare
Very Badly A Big Slump All Along
The Line.
CHICAGO Tho wheat maikot opened
strong with shorts anxious and excited
bnj ers, and their bidding caused the market
to shoot upward at tho outset; but this
movement was brief, and when the "shorts
liad Cn.shed the work of covering which
thev bcan yesterday, a feeling of weakness
e-et in and continued with one or two brief
reactions tothecloe The early new s was
mostly bulli-h, particularly the cables, and
then tone was chiefi lesponsibie for the
earl;, oulge
Tlie receipts were 10) carloads above the
;stimntes, but the amount of wheat on
ocean i-sage decren-ed 1,000,000 bushels
during the pnsr week: LUerpool piices were
strong and Iglild higher with" a good de
mand: Pans .is i-eported excited and J
irunc higher: domestic markets were all
-strong, and the shorts in tho corn pit were
"bidding over each other for September.
The early advance was too rapid to last
and buying suddenly camo to a halt. The
moment that weakness was discovered the
longs made an eHort to unload and the bears
became aggressle short sellers. The de
mand, how cvci, appeared to have been sup
plied for the time being, and the pressure of
iIToring5 soon resulted in a slump. Decem
lier. winch Malted at 9091c, and ad
vanced w ithin the first few minutes to 92c,
sold down to SCVc, but rallied to 90Jc at
moon. Then anotner period of weakness set
in as the combined result of weakei cables,
s. light dem-ind -ind heavy offerings, nnd.
-n .t'i some feeble rallies, December dropped
loSOc, at w Inch it sold sparingly, reacted to
yrc, and closed at 90c, agam6t 91c at the
close ycsterdiv. July, which was about -Jc
premium cm Ij , fell later to c discount.
Cun oj.cned strong and higher, shorts
still being excited over the situation and
making lrautic efforts to coer. The re
ceipts weie slightly in excess of estimates,
but there was little or no sale. The crowfl
got excited. September started at 59c to
B3i, but sold m a few minutes up to COJjJc. At
this time the shorts.-eemed to hai e all got
in, for though the offerings continued free
thcie seemed to be nobody to take thera,and
3i slump followed as quickly as the advance
jiaa ueeii maac r or tne remainder or the
ession, the market was irregular and ner
vous, but the tendency was toward weak
ness When the estimate of only IS cars tor
to-morrow was known there visa rally, but
ii was offset bj fi ee offerings and influenced
in the weakness of wheat, and the advance
was held After selling up from 5"JjC to
597c for September it broke to SSic, then
rallied to 53J8c, but weakened again nnd
closed at .Vc The drop from COJc to BSc
was mide w ith hardly a halt, and on the de
cline a vast amount of long corn was thrown
overboard to the general discouragement
nnd --top loss orders.
Oats w ere strong earls- in sympathy with
other grams, but they afterward collapsed.
The receipts weie largely in excess ol esti
mates and there w ere 92 cars of new oats.
Provisions were inclined to firmness at
the opening in sympathy with the early
strength in corn, light receipts and higher
puces for hogs, but the strength w as quick
ly dissipated when corn began to slump and
vhereatter the tendency was downward
-n ith onlj one or two feeble rallies, the close
ieing at or near the bottom. September
pork closed with a loss of 22c; lard, of 12Mo

Denial That the B. and 0. Has Alsorhed the
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad.
MANSFIELD BOROUGH PETTING ON AIRS.
It was stated at the time the Gregg prop
erty passed into tho hands of the Diamond
street syndicate, soveral months ago, that
nothing would be done with the property
for a year or two. Since then, it appears,
the purchasers have changed their minds.
According to inside information, obtained
yesterday, they will, in a short time, begin
the erection of a two-story building, using
such parts of the old walls as are suitable,
lea vingthoquestionofapermanent structure
in abeyance until a definite decision shall bo
reached in regard to the widening of the
street. Work on the Germania Bank build
ing, just opposite, is progressing finely. It
will bo, in some respects, an improvement
upon the old one, and present a handsomer
appearance. It will contain apartments
specially arranged for the Chamber of Com
merce. A Ferrysville Avenne Deal.
It was reported yesterday that J. B. Lar
kln Co. had closed an important deal on
Perrysville avenue, involving 50 acres or
more. The price was not disclosed, but it
was said to be in the neighborhood of $30,000.
Mr. A. B. Kennedy, of the firm named, was
spoken to about the transaction, andhe said:
"Yes, we have justconsummated the biggest
sale ever made on Perrysville avenue, but
cannot give particulars just now. They
will be forthcoming in a week or ten days."
More Homes for the People.
A transaction in real estate of some im
portance for its bearing upon the building
question was consummated a few days ago
by Henry A. Weaver & Co. They sold for
Mrs. Ann Harrison to Hagmaier & Johnson,
a property on Bidge street,Thirteenth ward,
consistjng of an acre and a half of ground
and three buildings for $10,700. The pur
chasers reDresent the Keystone Land Com
pany, and intend erecting a number of
dwellings on the prooerty. The Thirteenth
ward not only leads in the number of houses
elected this year, but is also first in the
number of transfers of real estate. It is a
progressive locality.
A Second McKeesport.
Mansfield people are taking the Tight
course to make the town boom. They are
paving the main streets with fire brick and
laying good sidewalks. The town Is lighted
with electricity. Manufacturing sites
abound in the immediate vicinity, and rail
road facilities are excellent. Coal is abun
dant and cheap. There is a good opening
there for a first-class planing mill and lum
beryard. A citizen remarked yesterday:
"Mansfield is bound to be a second Mc
Keesport in a very few years."
A Rumor Run Down.
The report that the Ohio and Mississippi
will soon he absorbed by the Baltimore and
Ohio is most strenuously denied by the Bal
timore and Ohio officials. The presence in
London of President Barnard, of the Ohio
and Mississippi, where he has gons with
three directors for the purpose, it is said, of
conferring with the majority owners regard
ing the necessity of scaling down tho heavy
rate of interest of the bonds, and the de
parture of President Mayer.of the Baltimore
and Ohio, for Europe on Wednesday last er
roneously gave rise to the rumor of the
probable purchase.
.More Than Holds Its Own.
There is nothing on the market that pre
sents a stronger front than real estate. Both
sellers and buyers are a little shy, but they
are beginning to understand each other, and
there is less difficulty in closing deals than
at any former time this year, as the larger
number of transfers clearly shows and this,
too,with a numberof the principal operators
out of town. When they return the move-
"mentwui oe urisK. ine outiooic lor tne
coming fall is very encouraging.
" Business News and Gossip.
Nearly all the surrounding towns are hav
ing their streets improved and sidewalks
laid. This will build them up faster than
anything else.
The adjourned meeting of the Electric and
Manufacturing Company will be held to
day. There is scarcely a doubt that Mr.
Westinghouse will be re-elected President.
The new Germania Savings Bank building,
for which a permit was taken out on Mon
day, will cost, according to estimates, $70,
000. It is stated that the average daily earnings
of each car on the Birmingham line is $50.
As there are 30 cars, according to this esti
mate the total daily earnings are $1,500.
The Arbuthnot building, on Pcnn avenue,
one of the largest in the city.will be finished
and occupied next week.
At the annual meeting of stockholders of
the Westinghouse Machine Company yester
day, the old Board of Directors was re
tained. Reports showed an increase in
business and profits.
On call yesterday 100 was bid for Pittsburg

AI THE BANKS.
A Moderate CaU for Cash "With Plenty to
Meet It
Bnsiness was moderately active at the city
banks yesterday. There was a fair call for
accommodations with funds more than suf
ficient to meet it. Rates were steady at
C7, with most of the bnsiness at 6, any
variation being exceptional. Bank clsar-
PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
ings were $2,118,199 73, and balances $278,
922 45.
A New York authority says: "The com
mencement ot the Westward movement of
funds has affected the market for time loaps
in spite of tho slack demand for funds. New
York exchange is at a discount in Chicago,
and tho Treasury has made transfers of
fnnds from New York during the week to
the amount of $1,423,000. Activity in grain
and provision speculation at the West may
partly account for this movement, which is
earlier than tho usual drain in connection
with the crops."
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy, ranging from 1VC to 2 tier cent, last loan
yier cent, closed offered at 2 percent,
me mercantile paper, 6K7. Sterling ex
change dull and easier at $4 84J for 60-aay

HOME SECURITIES.
NEARLY ALL THE ACTTVITY ON THE
BULL SIDE OF THE MARKET.
Strength the Leading Feature No Attempt
to Force Sales Airbrake and Philadel
phia Gas Score Advances Luster Lets
Go a Little Tractions Neglected.
There was some activity in local stocks
yesterday, and it was nearly all on the bull
side, Luster being about the only exception.
It closed below the opening a natural
reaction from an artificial bulge. A full
statement of the condition of the plant is
promised by October. This may send it up
again.
Airbrake continued its upward move
ment, reaching 99 bid at the last call, with J
none offered. The declaration of an extra
dividend of 3 per cent, after advancing the
regular one from 12 to 16 per cent, shows
that the company is highly prosperous and
accounts for the advance.
Philadelphia Gas added to its credit,
and was in good demand. Brokers report a
liberal sprinkling of local orders for this
stock, some of them for big blocks. This is
a good answer to the assertion that invest
ors have no confidence In It. Wheeling Gas
lost ground.
There are standing orders for Chartier
Railway, hut there have been no offers for
some time Buyers will have to bid better
than 55 to bring it out.
The Tractions failed to attract. The most
of the buving of these stocks is sub rosa.
The public will be willing enough to take
hold of them before the year rolls by. That
thev will be the leaders of the market is
next to a certainty. The element of doubt
is very small.
Point Bridge moved up another peg. Al
though the public has a very faint concep
tion of the cause of the advance, the people
who want the stock are supposed to know
all about it. There Is said to be a railway
deal of some kind at the bottom.
Electric was dull and featureless. For
non-assented stock 11 was bid; for assented,
12J. Trading in the new stock will soon be
in the regular order, and this may give it a
fresh impulse. The meeting to-day w ill be
important ae the final act in the work of re
organization. Sales on call yesterday were:
First call 20 Philadelphia Gas at UK, 100
La Noria at 25 cents.
Second call 30 Philadelphia Gas at 1.
Third call No sales.

STOCKS LOOKING UP.
BEAKS STILL CLAIM TO BE MASTERS
OF THE SITUATION,
Hut Nearly AH Shares Advance More or
Less A Heavy Covering of Shorts
Lead Trust and Tennessee Coal Are
Weak Points Bonds Active.
New York, July 28. The stock market to
day displayed a materially better tone on
the whole than yesterday, while prices
made considerable progress in recovery of
losses of the previous day. There was a
marked decrease In tho amount of business
done, and the dealings extended to a smaller
number of stocks than yesterday. The
speculators, however, seem not to havo
been broken as yet, and the hopes of Wall
street men that the dullness had been
checked by the decline 11 as not realized to
day. The bears claim to have full command of
the market, and that all the buying is for
the short account, but the continuance of
the upward movement to-day would seem to
indicate that someone is willing to take se
curities at concessions, while the advances
do not tempt selling except by the short
sellers. In the market to-day, however, the
stocks which are supposed to have the
largest short interest, viz.. St. Paul and Bur
lington, wero the only really active stocks,
but the latter displayed the most stubborn
strength.
Tho only really weak point in the list was
Lead Trust, though a drop of 3 per cent in
Tennessee Coal relieved the monotony
among the specialties. There was un
doubtedly heavy covering in shorts, and
brokers identified with the leading bear
operator were large purchasers, especially
during the forenoon; but the foreigners did
something in that line, also, and the feeling
became more bullish from the very fact
that large lines of shorts were covered.
There wore signs of support in Richmond
and West Point, and that stock, while re
covering smartly, was again compaiatively
dull, but the preterred stock failed to move
in cither direction. The Industrials, with
the exception of Lead, weredulte neglected,
and the low priced shares, as a rule, showed
no feature.
Opening prices were fronuJi to K Per cent
hotter than last night's figures, under the
demand from tho shorts, and helped by the
Burlington statement for June, showing a
material increase in net earnings, andT a
statement from the Richmond and West
Point officials that the company had suffi
cient funds in hand to meet maturing obliga
tions. The upward movement extended to
nearly 1 per cent before it was checked.
Realizations caused a slight reaction In the
forenoon, but later the best figures were
again attained, and Burlington scored a still
further advance. In the afternoon Ten
nessee Coal dropped 3 per cent, and realiza
tions again sagged the list off in the last
hour, but only la the Villards was there any
WEDNESDAY. JULY- 29,
real weakiess, all of them retiring oyer 1
per cent from the best figures.
Tho martet finally closed dull but fairly
firm at small fractional gain's for the day.
The active shares, however, are nearly all
up large fractions, and Burlington, notwith
standing tlie reaction, is 1 per cent higher
than last evening.
Railroad bonds were a little more active,
though tin dealings were not so widely dis
tributed, and a firm tone marked the busi
ness, most of the issues traded in showing
some imp-ovement ovor their last previous
sales. Tho Richmond and West Point issues
felt the stimulus of the reaction in tho
stock, nn4 the 5's roso 4 per cent to 57, nnd
tho 6's 1 per cent to 89. ,No other material
change is to be noted. The sales reached
$614,000.

stocks on the New York Stock Exchange yester
day. Corrected dally for TnK Dispatch by Whit

Cototby Produce (Jobbing prices)
At the Monday meeting of the Elgin Board
creamery butter was advanced Jc per lb.
The corresponding advance will be due here
on Friday. We note a marked Improvement
in demand for choice dairy products the past
few days. Cheese is active and firm at the
late advance, and prospects are good for
another move upward. A jobber who re
cently returned from a trip through Ohio
oheesedom reports that stocks at the fac
tories are unusually light for the time of
the year, and that the small amount on hand
is firmly held at prices which leave little or
no margin for the dealer here.
Nothing new can be said in addition to
what has already been reported concerning
farm and garden products. Markets are
overstocked in this line, and prices of cab
bage, apples and melons are merely nom
inal. There is a slightly improved demand
for tomatoes, and home raised are active
at $3 50 per bushel.

CSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH.
Kansas Citv,;' July 28. Grave charges
of cruelty and neglect have been made
against Matron Henks, of the Children's
Orphans Home. For some time it has been
noticed that funerals were unusually
frequent, and neighbors began an investiga
tion. During the past two months 18 in
fants died, and during 18 days preceding
July 13, 14 infants perished.
It is charged that the little ones are
practically starved to death. Official in
vestigations are demanded.

It is conceded beyond a doubt that fer

Popular opinion puts men and things to
the severest tests. Klein's celebrated brand
of "Silver Age" Pure Rj e Whisky has stood
this test for many years, and it is gaining in
public favor every day. Physicians indorso
and prescribe "Silver Age" in preference to
all other whiskies, knowing its quality can
always be depended upon. Parties leaving
the city for the summer shoald take along
with them a supply of Klein's ''Silver Age'
or "Duquesne" Rye. The former sells at
$1 50 and the latter at $1 23 per full quart.
