BAILS EEYER SO LOW
As at Present, and Builders' Hard
"ware Depressed in All Lines.
BEFBIGERATOBS ARE IN DEMAND
The Sewer Pipe Trade Falls Below last,
Tear's in Volume.
A PBOSPEEOUS SEASON IN DETGOODS
Offics of riTTSEirp.G Dispatch, J
Tuesday, August IL I
Builders' hardware trade lost so much
rround during the strike that there is no
longer a possibilitj- of recovering the lost
ground. So far as our city trade is con
cerned, the volume of business will fall 25
per cent below that of last year, -with the
best jioeMble fall trade.
In 1890 we had a boom and in 1S91 ire had
a strike. The effect of the lock between
contractors and ioumevmenhas been to cur
tail demand for everything in the line of
builders' hardware. Prices, which were
thought to be at the bottom a year ago,
are a shade lower now than then.
It Is doubtful If iu the entire history of tlio
nail trade prices have been as low as tliey
are this Mimtncr. Tho Jobbing price of cut
nalU i $1.7.-1 per fcoc, and wire nail $2.10. At
S1.7S per kes it is difficult to sec where there
i anr profit to the manufacturer. The
VTheollnir nail mills are furnishing stock to
Jobbers on a basts of $1.55 per kes. The steel
which enters into a kec of nails is worth
$1.35 and the cost of cuttinc into nails, pack
ing, etc, is lullv 50 cents per kep. so that
thcro is more profit in selling tho steel than
there is in working it up into nails. In face
of this depression in tho trade one of the
Wbecllnj; mill has recentlv increased its
capacity to 1,000,000 kegs avear, a capacity
beyond that otany plantin tills oranyottier
country.
A Blfr Tall Trade.
Probabilities are for a bis fall trado
in builders" hardware. Dealers aro
lrailding high hopes on the immense
crops, which will bring prosperity to farm
ers. The only articles in hardware lines
which fchow increased volume of trade over
last year arc flv screens and refrigerators.
Evofv vcar shows increase in these lines.
Screens and refrigerators, which a few years
sico were regarded as luxuries to be enjoyed
onlv nv the few, are more and more coming
to he "regarded as. necessities which tho
inanv should enjoy. A representative of
one of our leading hardwaro firms said: "Wo
jiave sold more good in this lino this season
than ever before. A homo without screens
and refrigerators will soon bo the rule, in
ttead of the exception, as was tho case a
decade ago."'
Sower ripe and Flro Rrlck.
The samo influences which havo proved
adverse to trade in lines of hardware have
been felt by dealers in sewer pipe. Said a
dealer in this lino yesterday: "The amount
of sewer pipe I have handled this year is
more than 50 per cent les than the amount
handled at this time a year ago. The fall Is,
of couie, the best time for our trade, but
wo have now no hope of catching up to tho
amount of last year's business. Tac only
article in our line that holds up -well to last
vcar is paving lire brick. Demand in this
line is active. JIauy of our surrounding
towns are paving streets this season with
Ohio Valley lire brick, and wc have had nice
orders from Braddock, I.utlcr, Mansfield
amlGreeiisbnrg. There is now pending an
order for five or six million paving lire
brick from ltoanoke, Virginia."
ISusiness in Drygoods.
Probablv no other branch of business has
felt the summer's depression so little as tho
wholesale drygoods trade. Volume of busi
ness as jciHirtcd by jobbers shows an in
crease over last year. The trado is about as
freo from speculative influences as any of
our great industries. Paid a member of one
of our leading wholesaledryjroods flrnis who
lias been familiar with the trade for a half
centurv: "Business is in a healthy condi
tion. There has not been a month of this
year that our volumeof trade has not shown
nn Increase of 10 to 15 percent over the cor
responding mouth of last year. Prices are
close, but are about the same as they were
a vcar ago at this tluio. Prospects arc good,
lor an active, fall trade. There is now no
longer a doubt that more drygoods will be
sold this year by nttsburg Jobbers than
were sold any previous year."
RYE ENTERS THE LISTS
And Competes 'With the Other Cereals as a
Speculative Market News of Prohibi
tion of Exports From Russia the Cause
All Grains Excited and Fluctuate.
CHICAGO. The bulls took charge of the
wheat market to-day and kept the bears
dancing most of the time. The potent news
around the opening wus bullish. Tho Gov
ernment crop report was interpreted as
rather bearish, but the European situation
was looked upon as so decidedly bullish as
toir.orc than counterbalance the homo con
ditions. Liverpool was strong and K penny
higher; first advices Ironi Paris indicated a
strong market there: the weather abroad
was wet and unfavorable, audthedispatches
Fceminclv confirmatory of blight in tho
Northwest caused bv the light hot weather.
New York and St. Louis opened higher and
there were heavy buying orders from those
raaikeis. As the offerings were limited
prices were Nhurpty advanced. After the
llurrv caused by execution of these orders
was over and the market began to manifest
a tendencv to sag it was givon a new and
strong impetus upward by a series of cable
grams to some of the large houses, saying at
first that Russia would prohibit the exporta
tian or rye trom the Empire after August 27,
and later that It had issued the decree of
prohibition to go into effect on the 15th inst.,
to continue for ono year. When this news
was first mooted it met with little credence,
lut as tho house which first received it
bought heavily on the strength of it, and as
other houses receiving tho same advices
ranged themselves on the buying side also,
the smaller shorts became panic-stricken
and rushed to cover, values advancing
rapidly amid considerable excitement.
December opened ragged at 91J92l,c,
against MJ;;e at the close yesterday; sold up
quickly to i2c; sagged back to 92024c,
and then, on the report of the Russian rye
export prohibition. Jumped to 93c At this
point the late cables announced bettor
weather on tho continent, and tho shorts
ha ing prettv well recovered there was a
drop to 97J$e. Then corn began to show in
creased excitement, and the estimated re
ceipts for to-morrow being light, there was
another rush to buy, which sent December
to 83c. It took another drop to Oc, then
boomed upward again, touching Sijfe amid
much excitement; wavcreda little, receding
toBIV-c and then in the last 15 minutes,
under free covering by tho big shorts who
had been holding out, went humming to 03c,
and closed firm at 'J4?v
Corn started in rather weak. September
being variously quoted at5SJB& ajjalnst
CO at the close yesterday, but the strength in
wheat, the light offerings of com, and the
fears of the shorts, who suspected manipu
lation by a bull clique generally accredited
to Xew York speculators, soon caused a
sharp advance to 00. The market then
cased off some, but during the last hour
started up again, selling to 6W. It then
broke to 59'4. at which price it closed. The
feeling was very nervous, and prices went
tip and down spasmodically, but the under
current was very strong.
Oats were quiet but strong, in sympathy
with corn.
Provisions did not sympathize to anv ex
tent with the excitement in grains. Fluc
tuations were confined to a nan ow range,
and the close was at about outside figures
mid at small advances over yesterdav's
figures.
Under tho stimulus of the Russian news,
rye took on the appearance of a speculative
grain to-day, the rash article advancing 4c

POINTS IN REALTY.
Tho Market For High Class Houses
Comparatively Blow.
SMALL ONES IN BRISK DEMAND.
One of the Most Backward Sections in The
Citj Shows Signs of of Revival.
NOTEL OBJECTION TO SKTSCKAPERS
The fact of a scarcity of 'huildings in
Pittsburg has been frequently referred to in
this column. That this is so can be easily
demonstrated by inquiry at the real estate
offices or by personal investigation through
out the city. A little explanation here
may be serviceable to many. Houses are
intended to meet the wants of all classes of
the community. The large majority of
buyers are of limited means. They want
cheap and medium-priced houses, costing
from ?2,000 to 5,000. The demand for
these for several years has been greater
than the supply. Hence there is an active
market for properties of this description.
On the other hand, people of abundant
means, as a rule, build for themselves. The
market for high class houses is, therefore,
more restricted than that for the cheaper
kind and the demand is more easily satis
fied. From this it will be seen that while
the ono may be scarce the other may bo in
over supply. This is about the situation in
Pittsburg at present. While owners of low
priced houses have llttlo trouble t6 sell or
rent, the market for more pretentions
structures is mthor slow. Owners and
builders would do well to bear this distinc
tion in mind in' their future operations.
Skyscraplng Iinlldlngg.
The inclination of tho modem business
house Is upward. This is due almost en
tirely to the enhancement of land values,
making It cheaper to build in the air than
on the ground. Although Pittsburg has no
skyscrapers she is making fair progress in
that direction, as several buildings com
pleted within the past year or two show.
During tho discussion which has naturally
arisen in regard to high structures some
peculiar ideas have been advanced by
building oxperts as to tho sanitary condi
tion ot streets lined with tall nouses. Sky
scrapers aro condemned not alone on sani
tary grounds but on the score of public
policy as well. It is claimed that they tend
to centralize business and destroy the value
of outside business streets which shonld ex
tend like radial arteries throughout the city.
They are defended, however, on the score of
economy nnd as affording the best means of
ameliorating ofllco life in congested dis
tricts. Whether Pittsburg will ever possess
a 20 or a 40-story building is further along:
but if it shall bo demonstrated that they are
a necessity the way for them will be clear.
If It can bo shown that they are as safe as
other buildings, a strong point in their
favor will have been gained. Experiments
now in progress In other cities will no doubt
settle this mooted question one way or
another.
A London Idea.
An influential committee has lately been
formed In London, England, to carry into
effect a plan which has for some time past
been under consideration for providing suit
able accommodations for young men, clerks
and othors, living in tho metropolis on lim
ited Incomes. It is proposed to erect a se
ries of buildings, well situated and easily
accessible to the city, and u site for the first
series has been secured provisionally. Tho
building is planned to provide accommoda
tion for 433 tenants, each having a sitting
room with bed alcove, at a rental ranging
from 10 shillings to IS shillings per week. It
is intended that tennnts shall havetheuso
of common reception and dining-rooms, and
of library, reading, writing, lecture, smok
ing, billiard and recreation rooms. Plans
have been submitted of a handsome build
ing, and it estimated that on a capital of
100,000 tho investment would yield 5 per
cent Interest.
Coming to the Front.
That part of the Eighteenth ward contigu
ous to Mornlngstde avenue isshowlng more
activity than for a long time. Baxter,
Thompson & Co. report sales of quite a num.
berof lots in this locality within the past
few days, the majority of the purchasers be
ing a thrifty class of Germans, who will
build. A great many small houses are going
up. This ward has long been a back num
ber, but the construction of the Sharpsbnrg
branch of the Citizens' Traction Railway
has given It an impulse which is rapidly
bringing it to the front.
Business News and Gossip. ,
The Swift farm, now that it is to be
plotted, will probably bo annexed to the
borough of Knoxville.
J. A. Hardy has begnn tho erection of
three brick two-story dwellings on Perry
street, Elovenlh ward, to cost $0,900. L. A.
Schoel is building two brick dwellings and
stores on Wylio avenue. Thirteenth ward, at
a cost or $7,000.
There is less building going on in the out
skirts than last year, but tho houses are of a
better class. When put on tho market they
find ready buyers.
Pittsburg and Braddock will be connected
by an electric railway within the next two
two years. Two routes aro now under con
sideration, both backed by abundant capi
tal. It was stated in this column three months
ago that part of the Speer property in the
Fourteenth ward had been purchased as a
site for a public scboolhouse. As nothing
has been dono toward the building, the peo
ple in that district would like to know the
cause of the delay.
The Ogdensbnrg Transportation Company
has reduced lake and rail rates on business
going beyond Chicago and .Milwaukee, two
cents, first class, with reductions on other
classes. Enst-bound lake and rail rates will
be advanced August 20.
The sale of a large Penn avenue frontage,
near the Forks of tho Road to the St. John

HOME SECURITIES.
THE MARKET DROPS BACK INTO THE
OLD GROOVE OF INACTION.
Monday's Improvement Not Sustained No
Material Changes in Quotations Some
Big Orders Out for Philadelphia Gas
Duqnesne Traction on Tap.
Monday's pace was too rapid for the stock
market, and yesterday it fell back' into tho
old groove. Thcro were only two sales, cov
ering 35 shares.
Prices, in rcspoct of fluctuations, are lilce
tho laws of the Medo-Perstans, practically
tho same day in and day out, except when
occasionally stimulated by a few buying or
dors. Changes that occur on the local board
aro not due to changes in conditions.
The only feature of the day was an activo
demand for Philadelphia Gas, under tho In
fluence of which it closed better than tho
opening, with only a few small Jags offered.
Several hundred shares could have been
sold at a small concession, and that this was
not granted shows that holders are not
panic-stricken. It is known that there aro
several good-sized orders out for it ono for
1,000 shares or more.
Central Traction and Pleasant Valley
braced up a little during the day, but the
rest of this group was as dull as a meat ax.
There was some pressure to sell Dnquesno
Traction, and it was freely offered around
14, with no ono disposed to take the bait. It
is said that when tho Citizens' line started
in Philadelphia the stock could hardly bo
given away. Somoofthoe who had it held
on, and in the end It made them rich. Tne
same thing may happen in PittsDurg.
Electric bobbed up on a bid of 10 for un
asscntod stock the first for a week or two,
but holders did not care to give it away. It
is worth more or nothing. Assented stock,
it is thought, will shortly be on the market.
A llttlo light on tho condition of this com-
fiany would be acceptable not onlv to stock
lolders, but to the community. There ore
vague hints that the bulk of tho new stock
has been absorbed by certain Eastern par
tics. Airbrake sold up to 10 and closod at 100
bid. Dividend-payers aro always wanted.
There was a good sprinkling of orders for
bank stocks at full prices, but Insurance was
passed without a bid or offer.
New York started out well, but lapsed into
dullness, and lost mostof the early improve
ment. Ixmdon was lower.
Sales on call yesterday were:
First call No sales.
Second call 10 Philadelphia Gas at 1
Third call 25 Airbrake at lOOJf.

A SHORT-LIVED BOOM
STRIKES THE GENERAL STOCK MAR
KKT EARLY IN THE DAY,
Bnt When It Collapsed the Market Is Left
as Dnll as Usual Covering of Shorts
Responsible for the Temporary Rise
Bonds Steady.
New York. Aug. 11. Dullness was again
the most prominent characteristic of the
stock market to-day, bnt therewasasharp
rally in tno forenoon, which was not main
tained later, and the final changes for tho
day are in almost all cases' insignificant. The
traders arc again in rather a bullish framo
of mind, but do very little, working on tho
other side of the market as frequently as tho
bull side; but shorts aro covered quickly on
iDdicntion of any new buying or any rumor
which points to a large interest protecting
its stocks.
The sharp rally this morning in the face
of moderate selling by London, was entirely
duo to the coveriug of shorts, while the offer
ings of stocks from domestic sources wero
unusually small. Union Pacific to-day was
rather less prominent in the dealings, and
while it touched & in the early trading, it
ralliod with tho other active stocks, and in
dications point to the fact that the largo
earnings reported by the Atchison and the
reassuring natnro of the Government crop
report have made the sellers of Union Pa
clue a llttlo more cautious in their opera
tions. The movements of importance In the list
were very few, nnd the general list was as
dull and featureless "as usual, though the
sensation of the day was the drop in Rich
mond & West Point preferred to 49J, against
56 as tho last saio of last week. Special
weakness was seen in Tennessee Coal, also,
but tho general tendency among railroad
stock where any fluctuation was apparent
was upward: but the trading in the general
list was so dull that no feature could be seen'
other than those mentioned. The apparent
selling bv London made Louisville rather
weaker than the other leading stocks, while
Rock Island was the strongest on tho list,
nnd while the early rise was material, the
greater portion of tho improvement was lost
before noon.
Late in the day the selling of Union Pacific
and Louisville and Nashville was resumed
on a larger scale, the former especially
weakened under the pressure. Its best
flgui e of the forenoon wns36 but it touched
32 before tho close, and ended at the lowest
pnec. The lato dealings developed some
support in a few stocks, but the entire list
felt the effect of the extreme weakness of
Union Pacific, and everything yielded in
sympathy, many stocks reaching their low
est lor the day at the time. Tho Corn roads
made a specially stubborn resistance to tlie
downward tendency, but tho market closed
quiet and heavy to weak at or near the
lowest prices of tho day.
The dealings in railroad bonds wero not so
widely distributed to-day, and while tho
market as a wholo displayed a Jairly steady
tone, the trading reached only 497,000 shares
with no other fo iture in the market.
The following tanle shows the prices of active
stocks on tlie New York Stock Excnauzc yesterday.

per pound, an advance which will he due in
this market on Friday. Stocks of good
creamery are unusually light, not only here,
but all over tho country.' Cheese is firm
and unchanged. Eggs continue in bountiful
supply and are very slow, with lOJc as top
price for job lots and 17c for single cases.
Demand for lemons is improving under the
influence of hot weather, and prices bid fair
to find a higher level before the week is
gone. Other tropical fruits are very slow
lor the good reason that home-grown fruits
aro so abundant. As long as peaches, plums,
pears and melons aro so plentiful and cheap
as they aro at present there is little show for
the products which como from afar. Tho
troublo with fruit and vegetable markets for
the past few weeks has been that stuff has
been coming in much more freely than wo
have capacity for.

1U KYLE FARM WELL IS DOING
ONLY TWENTY KAKRELS.
Several Good Wells In the Gordon Sand at
McDonald Interesting Developments
Expected This Week The Wright Well
Making 3G Barrels nn Hour.
There was considerable interesting work
done in the southwest oil fields yesterday.
The attraction however centered along the
line from McCurdy to McDonald. The
report yesterday morning that Beers & Mc
Kees "well on the August Kyle farm
at "Wildwood was making one hun
dred barrels an hour sent a
a number of operators in that locality on
the early trains. Upon investigation it was
found that tho well Is not good for more
than 20 barrels a day, and that the report
that it was big had been put in circulation
by irresponsible parties atScmple station,,
and was brought to Pittsburg as bona fide
on the evening trains.
Tho Big Wright WelL
McCubdv Tho surprise occasioned by the
drilling in of the Forrest Oil Company's
well on the Wright farm when it pnmped
from 6 barrels a day to 10 and 12 an hour, has
not yet subsided. It bad been given out
some time ago that this well was
small, hence when it snddenly ap-
?eare( to have tapped a tank,
t caused many people wlio had been inter
ested in the vicinity of it to open their eyes
in astonishment. Yesterday afternoon it
was drilled still deeper into the sand, and
increased from 10 to 35 barrels an hour. In
all probability it can he made to run much
higher with a little more agitation.
Good Gordon Sand Wells.
McDoWALD Nearly half of the wells which
have been drilling in this field wero shut
down yesterday on account of the scarcity
of water. In mo't cases it has to be pumped
a long distance, and even this sourco
of supply failed yesterday. A num
ber of the contractors arc now at
work drilling water wells. The well
of Gnckert Steele on the Jlevey farm, 1,000
feet northeast of the Miller No. 1, of Uart
land & Hays, got a strong flow of gas in tho
stray above the Gordon sand yesterday
morning, nnd when 10 feet in the Gordon
thev got a good flow of oil. Gartland &
Hays' No. 2 in the Miller. located GOO feet
west of the Mevoy well, got a good
showing of oil at 15 feet in the Gordon, but
it has less gas than the Mevey, but will
make 40 barrels a day from the Gordon.
Their No. 1 on the Miller ismaking 45 barrels
an hour. They have the rigs up for their
Nos. 3, 4 and 5 on tho same farm, and will
have them spudding this week. Tho
People's Natural Gas Company is
building a rig en the Miller farm south or
the Mevey. Tho Jumbo well of the Royal
Gas Company at the slaughter house is
drilling just" above the fifth sand. Some
timo ago it was given out that tbis well
was through the fifth when it was
in reality only through the Gordon sand.
Tho-samc company is building a rijr on the
Santcrs farm, 500 feet south of the Mlllor No.
1, and it has timbers on the ground for a rig
on the Santers 500 feet west of the Miller
well. Their well on tho Mary Robb farm is
doing 30 barrels an hour. There are five
rigs going up on three sides of
the Mary Robb farm. and all
of them are within 400 feet of the well. Three
of these rigs belong to Fiuegan, Downing &
Co. The Cbartiers Oil Company has a rig up
for Its No. 2, on tho Jules Charlierlot. Green
lee & Forst have two rigs up on the eastern
edge of the Mevey farm. The Werxel & Co.
well, on the Smith lot, located 200 feet
northeast of the Butler lot well, is
through the fifth. It is showing no
signs of improving, and is practically a fail
ure. They are now drilling a pocket, and
will shoot it in the flfth and Gordon sands,
Yanklrk & Co-'s well on the hotel lot is in
the Gordon and showing light. BoscherA
Co.'s well on tho U. P. Church lot Is on top
of the Gordon. It will bo in that
stratum to-day. Williams, Kelly & Co.
are spudding in their Souferet No.
2. Hnrtman & Co. on tho Santera
three acres, are located northeast of tho
Royal Gas Company's No. 3. Sauters is
down about 1,100 feet. The Santers No. 3, of
the Royal Gas Company, is still balking.
They have a shot anchored in it but all
efforts to put it off had been unavailing np
to 5 o'clock last evening. Gallagher & Co.
havo a rig up on the Hoyaux lot
in the central part of tho borough.
McGee Bros, arc down about 400 feet in their
George Smith No. 2. The Royal Gas Com
pany's Sauters No. 5 should get the Gordon
this week. Clark and Ilannister are down
1,000 feet in their Sonleret No. 1. The Shaffer
Oil Company's well on the Smith lot will get
the flfth sand this week. It is small in the
Gordon. The Wheeling Gas Company well
on the Cook lot should get the fltth to-day.
It Is one of the most important wells now
drilliing on account of its eastern locations.

A SLOW MAEKET.
Bulk of the Advance Held, bnt Trading of
Small Proportions.
The flurry'iri 'oil was shortlived, so far as
Pittsburg is concerned. Prices are on a
higher level than before, but business is far
below expectations. A fow small bundles
exchanged bands yesterday, but tho feeling
was heavy.
Regular oil opened at C5. The highest bid
was G5. It was weaker at the close. Tho
best bid for September was G8 and the lowest
64V. There was considerable animation at
Oil City, where fluctuations wero frequent
and salc3 of considerable magnitude.
The trouble with the market is that out
siders are not satisfied that the removal of
the premium is a permanent thing. They
are afraid to take hold with this donbt
staring them in the face. If the advance, or
even a part of it, be maintained confidence
will be strengthened and the way opened
for active trading. A fow days or weeks will
decide this question.
Refined was marked up at New York to
6.85c, bnt was unchanged at other centers.
