"WHAT ALL TIIE TRADE CENTERS REPORT
Office or Prrrsiicro Dispatch, )
FridsY. August 14. S
Baw Ikon and STr.nL This week will
go on record ?s tlie dullest of the year.
Sales were fen and widz apart. The dull
ness 5s attributed to the fact that iron men
a-e still absent on vacation, and a large
amount of the material sold during the last
two month": has not ret been delivered, so
that when opora'ions commence in the fall
consumers will have a sufficient supply on
hand to last until other purchases can be
made. The building strike, too, no doubt
tended to cut down sales, as the big build
in::! delayed thereby w ould ha e consumed
a largo amount. Trices of loading articles
are certamlj weiker than at date of last
report. Consumers, lia lug a good stock on
hand, can afford to wait unless sellers are
disponed to make concessions. On the otlior
hand, manv furnaces, more particularly In
the Mahoning nnd tlio shenango regions,
have sold lariclj for later deliver' and are
Inclined to hold for pre-ont rates. At the
camo time reports are going the rounds that
gray forgo and Bessemc- pig have been
offci ed at n decline o far we have been
unable to find authoritj for such rumors.
Stocks of Iron m first hands arcincrcasing.
The amount of pig on hand July 1 was about
533,600 tons; amount August 1, estimated,
2G3,700 tons; .luly Increase, 31.100 tons. Tho
t-urplusi-accounted for by the fact that a
number of work-, tliat liae been closed for
stocktaking and repairs lint e not yet s'nrted
up When they do accumulated stocks will
toon disappear. Speaking of the Eastern
Iron trado a w ell-informed dealer had this to
sat-
"Tio Ikon There lias been considerable
lnquirj during the w eok. With bids lor large
lots provided sellers would phade prices
about 23 cents per ton. It may, therefore.be
regarded as an established i.ict that the tide
has turned, tint business is already on a
larger scale and that consumers hatecou
adenco enough to bid for iron in good round
sized lots. Compared with the position dur
ing June and Jul,, this is certainly an im
provement, but how much further it will bo
carried remains to be sc:n."
TiiESrrrsTioN Owing to the absence of so
main dealers sales were confined to limited
umounts. e heard of an offer of $15 TS cash
for 3,00.1 tons Bessemer, August, September
and October delit crv The parties have the
matter under consideration Other parties
are holding out for $18 Stool slabs and
billets are a shade weaker. Mnckbar, de
mand restricted nnd prices weaker. Other
articles show scarcely any cnangc. The
general opinion is that tho first ol Septenf
ber will ttitr-ces a aery much improved
trade.

THE CINCINNATI MAEKET.
A Largo Nnmber of Orders During the Past
Week, TA ith Fair Tonnace.
fSrECIAI. Tl LI GUAM TO TIIE DISPATCH.
Cincinnati, Aug. 11 Kogers, Brown A Ca
say: Wlnle there is general complaint about
dullness in the iron trade, yet a review of
the past week's sales show s a large number
of orders and a fair aggregate of tonnage.
Tho resumption of work in Western Penn
8 It nun, Kastern Ohio nnd Illinois has in
creased the stocks of coke iron quite largely
during Jul v, but this liatl littlo effect on
prices Manx of them are making Bessemer
lrcn on contract ,or for use in ott ners' mills,
so that but a small part of the product is
thrown on the market. An inquiry for a
rourd l"t of Bessemer for scattered delivery
ot or 12 months showed that most producers
would net accent present prices lor ship
ment so far ahead. In southern coke iron
there is -onsideroblo irregularity. Most of
the Alabama and Tennessee fnrnnces claim
to be wo'l sold up for the remainder of the
jc.ii.lii.t there are some willing to accept
low oilers to mote accumulated stocks
jinriptlt
Prediction are not of much value, but we
hai-anl the opinion that the consumptite
douirnil for southern iron will continue to
kerp pace with production during the
autumn mo.iths and tables will tary but
little. It h stated that the Trussvtlle fui
naco lias been leased bv well-known iron
men and will soon be placed ou the active
list. Tlio weather has been favorable for
crops and outside of Wall street the general
conditions aie encouraging for a largo busi
ness this fall.

improvement in tho iron market in this ter

Chicago, Aug. 14 Kogers, Brown & Mer
win, say: N'o chango worthy or note has
taken place in the pig iron market during
the past week. Business seems to be con
fined to small orders, heavy consumers ap
parently having cotered their wants for
some time ahead.
Thcttiicataned car famine is nearly an
assured fact, tho hcaw product of Truit and

riiiLADFLrniA, Aug. 14 The unpreced
ented hot w eather has interfered somewhat
with business, nnd negotiations that were
under wa j for large lots of structural iron

considerable business in sight lor steel labs

Pig iron remains unchanged. The general

GOOD JU'DONALD WELLS.
OPEUATOKS ON THE EASTERN EDGE
ABE rEELKG BETTER.
The Biggest "Well in the Field Struck Tes
tcrtlay on the Mevey Farm Several
"Wells Due To-Daj Operations atTVild
wood and Other Points.
Tlie ODcrators in the eastern edge of the
borough of McDonald have again taken
hope. The wells which they have been
drilling were looked upon last night as much
more tnluablc than they have been
considered for the past ten days.
Sii.ce tlie well of Weixel & Co., on
the smith lot Just east of the Butler well.
wasdiilled into the fifth sand and found
wanting, .ill who have been drilling east of
the Smith lot believed they were in losing
ventures. The reason for tho elation yes
terday was the drilling into tho fifth of
Vankerk & Co.'s well oa tho hotel
lot; nlso the "Wheeling Gas Com
pinj's well on tho Cook lot
just west of tho station. Both of these
are enstern-tdge wells. The hotel lot well
early in tlie afternoon was showing for at
least a 200-barrel producer from the fifth,
and later in the eteninga telegram from
McDonald stated that it was mak
ing 25 barrels an hour. The
latter report is considered high.
Ihe Cook lot well broke the shell about S
o'clock and for the next two hours produced
about 15 ban els an hour.
Tho Dig Mevey "Well.
Tho mecca for sight seers was the well or
Guckert S. Steel on tho Mevey farm, which
got the fifth j esterday, and for the first few
hours was producing at tho rate of 150 barrels
an hour. It is unquestionably the biggest
well yet struck in the McDonald field. It 13
located about 1,000 eet north of east from
Gartland 4 Hayes Xo 1 on the Miller farm,
and is farther to tho northtast than any
other completed well in that terri
tory. Gartland & Uayes Xo 2 on
the Miller which is located about
800 feet northwest of the Mevey well will
get the fifth sand this morning. "Thellojal
Gas Company's Xo. 1 on the Mary Robb
is putting out 35 barrels an hour. McGee
Bios, on the Smith lot aro down about 1,003
feet. A. J Mercer & Co. are -building a
rig on the John Keed farm, 1 miles on a
45 degree lino southwest 01 McDonald
It is in advance or everything in that direc
tion. Looking Bather Dusty.
"Wildwood The Koth Oil Companj's Xo.
3, on the Bryant farm, is 38 feet in the third
sand and showing light. It will be drilled
to the fourth. The Midland OU Company's
Xo. 14, on the Kalshouse, will got the 6and
thefiist of next week. Barnsdall, Kline &
Co. are down l.r-OO feet on the Moon.
Tho Pope Oil Company has a lig up 1.C00 feet
west of tho well which Ireland & Hughes
drilled on the Comer farm.
It Is Still Holding Vp.
McCurdt The Forest Oil Company's Xo. 1
on the Wright fammado30 barrels an hour
for the 21 hours ending at 3 o'clock

son's Xo.'2on the JaneHiddleis still doinir
from 35 to 40 barrels an hour. Fitzgibbons
& Co., on the Mertz farm, located about 3,000
feet east ol tho Wright well, is dow n about
1.103 leot. II is the larthest well to the east
in thnt locality.
On Top or the Sand.
XoELESTOwy The well of Gufley Mnr
phy 5. Co., on the Baldwin farm,
half a "mile southwest from
the big Matthews well was on top of
the sand last night and shut down to
wait for pipe line connections. It will be
drilled in this morning. The well of Green
lee & Torst, on the Miller lai m, back of Oak
dale, was shot yesterday, but failed to ira
prot e.
tight "Well at Moon.
Moos W. L. Mcllon's Xo. 1, on the Rouser
farm, has been finished nnd will not
be more than a 10-batrel well.
"Will Be in To-Day.
Mcrdocssville The Forest Oil Company's
Xo 2, on the A. E. Purdv, and their Xo. 6, on
the A. J. Cot entry, are both on top of the
sand. The same company has a w ell on top
of tho sand on the Katherine Garvin farm,
back of Brush creek.
Down the Ohio River.
Archer's Tores, O. Barnsdalls Xo. 1, on
the Bredm fnrm, has been shnt
dow n on top of the sand and the contractor
is awaiting orders to drill it in. Rose & Co.
expect to finish their well on the Ilnrlin
farm next week. The same parties have
started a well on the Patterson and one on
the Ward farms. Cincinnati parties will
tli 111 a well six miles in advance
of this field to the northwest.
Billy Botlo is shut down on
top of the sand on the Hendorshot
farm, half a mllo north of tho Davis. The
Wildcat on McKim Creek has been aban
doned after fishing for six months.
Tlie Jack's Run District.
Jack's Bus-Miller & Son shot their "well
on the Straw farm Thursday and it increased
to 12 barrels an hour. Yesterday it had fallen
off to seven barrels an hour.
A "West irglnla Mystery.
Socth Fork, W. Va. A Pennsylvania oil
company has a well down to tho oil-paying
strata, near this place, and apparently with
out result. The hole has filled up with
water 2,000 feet, and tho drillers are
pegging away under the water. Etery
etlort is being made to make a mystcrv of
the well, but 111 spite of all efforts a flow
occuisoccasionallv, and the littlo creek is
flooded with oil. The drillers say there is
nothing in the well, but at the same time the
owners are trj ing to secure leases on the ad-Joinln-
propertj . Fanners aro timid, how

FEATURES OF LOCAL SPECULATION
A number of transactions in real estate
were consummated yesterday. J. B. Lar
kin & Co. sold to Mr. J. "W. Offcrman, the
well known architect, five acres of land
having a frontage of 300 feet on Forward
avenue, for $10,000. The purchaser intends
to erect a handsome cottage on this place
early next spring, which he will occupy as
a permanent home. He claims that the
modern cottage has many advantages and
comforts over tlie old style mansion, inde
pendent of its beauty nnd uniqueness.
Improve tho Streets.
The extension of the street system of
Pittsburg within the last few years has been
very rapid and has contributed materially
to the general prosperity. Good streets and
plenty of them are necessities of modern
ch llization. Many of tho leading thorough
fares hat e been pushed out into tho suburbs,
where connections have been made with
new streets, lormmg bonds of union be
tween widely detached districts, and giving
all easy access to each other and to the city
proper. Difficulties are occasionally en
countered in opening streets but their nec
essity is so apparent that objectors soon
yield. Good streets cost a great deal of
money, but nothing pays better. Tho mar
velous growth of the Last End Is due to the
excellent street system. Other districts
have experienced the s.uno results. This is
a matter of such supreme importance that
authorities and citizens should hear.lly co
operate not only In opening now streets
w horever needed by the advance of popula
tion, but in putting old ones in good condi
tion. There is no other equallj effectivo way
to stimulate the materinL development of
the city.
A Monster Apartment House.
A correspondent gives a description of
what he considers the finest apartment
house in the world. It is located on Fifty
eighth and Fifty-ninth streets and Seventh
avenue, Xew York. It has a frontage on
Central Park. It covers an area 403x200
feet and is nine stories or 157 feet high. It
contains 1S2 apartment suites of from eight
to twelve rooms each. The capitalized
value of tho property is $8,000,000, and the
building was four years in construction.
Rentals range from $200 to $500 a month.
While Pittsburg has nothing of the kind
that will "hold a candlo" to this immense
building, she is "catching on" to the apart
ment house idea t ery last. All told, there
aro about 30 of them in this city, the largest
being three stories. All are occupied. At
least tw o of four stories will be erected next
year. Others aie under consideration. The
popularity of apartment houses will In
crease in proportion to tho advancement of
land values. Many think that they Trill In
a few years be a prominent feature of Pitts
burg home life.
Signs of Prosperity.
Industrial development In tho South seems
to,be keeping pace with that in other parts
of the country. With prosperity all over the
land, there is no reason to find fault with
the business situation. Among tho now en
terprises Just startedare a $1 010,100 salt com
pany in Kentucky; an $89,000 contraot for
water woiks engines at Satannab; an $80,000

CIRCULAR TO SWITCn AND SIGNAL
COMPANY STOCKHOLDEltS.
They Are Asked to Ratiry tho Sale of tho
Garrison Alley Property A Littlo Boom
in Philadelphia Gas Duquesno Traction
Takes a Tumble.
There was considerable vigor in stock
circles yesterday more in feelimr, perhaps,
than figures, though, with one or two ex
ceptions, these had an upward inclination.
Sales were 220 shares of La Noria, Duquesne
Traction and Philadelphia Gas.
Tho latter was the feature of the day. Tho
lively biddings showed there wore plenty of
orders for it. It was offered very sparingly,
which whetted the appetites of buyers. It
sold up Jg from the opening and closed J
better. Orders out for it are said to bo all
local, showing that people in a position to
know the facts are satisfied with the con
dition and prospects of tho company.
The following circular has been issued
nnd mailed by the Union bw itch and Signal
Company to the stockholders; "The board
of directors respectfully represent to tho
stockholders of this company that it is
greatly to their interest that the salo here
tofore" mado to tho Westinghouse Electric
Company of its property, known as the Gar
rison alley property, shall bo ratified and
consummated, there still remaining in tho
hands of tho electric company a large
amount of the pui chase money due and un
paid, which tho interests of this company
require the payment of." Proxies and
powers of attorney are requested to sign
such resolutions as may be adopted. The
meeting for tills purpose w ill bo held at the
company's office, in Swissvale, on Wednes
day, September 16, at 10 o'clock a. m.
Duqesne Traction lost more ot its grip,
selling down to 13K, the lowest sinco it has
been traded in. This was probably due to
reports that the company is making very
little monej, if any. Though, in the absence
of a statement, how this could be ascertained
is something of a puzzle. The bears must
stay up ot nights to watch the cars.
Citizens' Traction was another weak
brothel, declining to 03 bid at tho last call.
Pleasant Valley improved a fraction.
Luster was as sensitive as usual. Almost
every breeze from the Southwest affeots it.
Yesterday was a good day for lt, there being
considerable inquiry to whico there was no
response. The close showed a gain of on
the opening price. Xews from the mine was
favorable. Switch and Signal was a trifle
atronarer. Electric received no attention.
Airbrake weakened a small fraction at the 1
lust call. Sales were:
First call 10 La Xoria at SOc, GO Duquesne
Traction at 13U. 60 Philadelphia Gas afrlL -
Second call Xo sales.
Third call 10 Philadelphia Gas at 11, 80 at

LOUISVILLE THE LEADER,
THE UNION PACIFIC LOSES ITS GRIP
ON THE MARKET.
Stocks Gradually Gather Strength, the Few
"Weak Issues Being Left to Themselves
London Selling of the Leading Shares
Western Buyers in the Market.
New York, Aug. 14 The stock market hes
itated for some time to-day, but gradnally
gathered strength while broadening out con
siderably. The Grangers and Western stocks
in general, however, monopolized all the in
terest in the market, and one of the most en
couraging signs of the times is tho appear
ancoof the "Western operators in the mar
ket as bivjets of their favorite stocks, al
though none of them ntprescnt aie specially
piomincnt in the dealings, tho operations
being well distributed over the list.
Union Pacific was stUl less piominentin
the dealings to-day, nnd, being linnly held 111
the neighborhood ot 35, the inference is that
its pioinineuce tor the tlmo being and its
deterient effect upon the speculation is
over for the present. Louisville was tho
leader dunng inobt of the day, and while
there was considerable buying or it to cover
shorts London was a seller, and it was
heavy to weak nt first, though later recot er
ing somewhat. The London selling in this
stock may be moio apparent than real, aud
the disposition in the street is to attnbuto
its comparative weakness to the marketing
ot a portion of the new stock, which is bu
llet ed to be ratliei a difficult task.
2o change was seen in tho tenor of tho
crop advices, and tho movement 01 the
grain maiket, together with tho heavy ox
ports, entourage a glowing bullish feeling,
especially on the Grangers, and any stock
which dot clops special weakness is apt to
be lert to itself, while tho flrnmess ot tho
general list remains umlistuibod. Less tulk
is heatd about Union Pacific affairs, and the
street is content to await tho action to be
taken next Tuesday at the meeting ol di
rectors appointed lor that time.
The Yillaid stocks to-day became promi
nent for sti ength, and Xortiieni Pacific pre
ferred scored a handsome gain lor the day,
notwithstanding that the statement show ed
a loss in earnings. One explanation of the
upnaid tnotement, however, is made on the
hypothesis that the company is buying tho
stock with the piococds ot tho land sales.
Tho market finally closed dull but firm to
stioug at nbout the highest figures. The
transactions loo"t up 205,300 listed.
Railroad boncU show ed a moderate volnmo
of business, but the Atchison incomes were
again prominently actite, and furnished
$161,01.0 out a total day's business of $717,000.
The following table shows the prices of active
stocks on the 2t cw York stock Evcnange yesterday.

THE MARKET BASKET.
Emits and Vegetables Lower Than
for
Years Butter Higher.
Supply of fraits and vegetables is as it was
a week ngo, far in excess of demand, and
drift of markets is steadily downward.
There has been no time in the past decade
when prices were lower in lines of farm and
garden products than they aro at tho present
time. Cabbage, tomatoes and roasting cars
are dull and slow at the lowest prices
reached this season. Market gardeners re
port that it is haidly worth while to bring
cabbage to tho market, as prices are so low
and demand so light that there is next to
nothing in it.
In fruit lines there is the same complaint
on the part of pioducers ns in vegetable
lines. Markets ato overstocked with
peaches nnd melons, and as regards ripe
stock, prices aro merely nominal. Tropical
Irults of all kinds, with the exception of
lemons, have been very dull and slow for a
week or two past. Bananns have sold as low
ns 40c per bnnch since tho first of tho week.
Under tho Influence of hot weather lemons
are firm, with a tendency to higher prices.
Dairy products show an upward tendency
this week, and our prices of choice butter
bavo been advanced in accordance with the
facts. On the other hnnd, eggs have tended
downward, supply being in excess of de
mand. At the fish and meat stalls trado is re
ported quiet, as is the lulo at this season of
the year.
Florists also repoit slow trade, there being
little demand excepting for funerals.

Country Produce (Jobbing Prices)
It is many a year since vegetables sold as
low, as they are selling right now. Cabbage
scarely went below 51 per bushel basket any
time last season. Xow it is very dull at 25c
per basket. Tomatoes are weak at about
one-half the prices which prevailed at the
beginning of the month. Only the choicest
garden stuff can be sold at all in the present
overstocked condition of markets. Fruit
and Vegetable Inspector Kilgore yesterday
condemned 400 watermelons to the garbage
pile. Bananas are very poor stock on ac
count of the heavy receipts and low prices
of peaches. A carload of bananas was sold
on track ycsteidav for $50, a snm little more
than halt enough to pay freight bills.

WHEAT $1.00 A BUSHEL.
That Figure Reached Near the Close of
the Session Hulls Hall the News with a
Mighty Shout The Market StiU Excited
and Nervous.
CHICAGO This was another wild day in
the wheat pit. Prices went up and down
over a very wride rango without any appar
ently sufficient cause, and both bulls and
bears were alternately on the gridiron,
though tho advocates of higher prices Jiad
the best of the situation and improved their
opportunities to the extent of ultimately
carrying prices to a point ta above the
closing figures yesterday, and the close was
44c higher.
The bnlls' long-delayed prediction of
dollar wheat was finally verified, and they
hailed the big round figure with a mighty
shout. This occurred close to the end of the
session. It was the culmination of a rapid
advance of 2Jc. No effort was mado to put
it higher, and it was doubtless put to that
figure for Its moral effect.
There were "various bits of sensational
news chiefly of a bull character, but the con
era 1 belief that the market is in the hands of
a clique of heavy operators was the leading
cause of the extreme nervousness. Each
side wns qnlck to take alarm at tho first sign
of danzer and run to cover. The market was
wildly unsettled nt the opening, with the
bull sentinienttrampant, A nervous, appre
hensive feeling pervaded the crowd. There
wero indefinite rumors or trouble brewing
abroad which might result in war, and
cables brought news or strong and higher
prices abroad, with domestic markets all
nervous and strong, Xew York and St. Louis
in the lead.
Private warehouses had large buying or
ders and there was little or no whoat for
sale. The local shorts who had sold so
heavily j esterday when tho bottom seemed
out of the market were thoroughly alarmed
and bougnt frantically. Under these condi
tions tho opening was fairly wild, and De
cember sold nt 9jK93o, all within two min
utes from tho-riist stroke of 'the opening
bell, against 95cas the closing figure yes
terday. For a time the feeling was strong, but
there came free selling against calls and
liberal realizing on long wheat, and there
was a lag In the market. Later the Xew
York cllaue was thought to be sellinc. This
stampeded the local bulls. There was some
thing of a race to see which party could
unload first, and there was an irregular and
nervous drop to 97Jc. The market reacted
to 01o and was comparatively steady and
quiet at 97KWK until the'afternoon. Then
suddenly the crowd was seized with a buy
ing fever, and amid the wildest excitement
the price was advanced to $L It sagged to
JjjC, but closed strong at 91c.
Late advices represented foreigners as
free sellers in Xew York, and cable offers
last night were not accepted. Export clear
ances were light. The weather in the wheat
belt was fine. The crops of 3Iinnesota and
South Dakota wero reported nearly all
secured, and threshing showing big yields.
Late cables to the Board of Trade report
Berlin 2c per bushel higher, Paris easier
on near and highor on long futures. A dis-
Eatch was received saying that Portugal
ad prohibited the importation of wheat
from September 1 until the native wheat is
consumed.
Com was strong but unsottled, though not
showing as much strength as wheat. Shorts
were nervous over the advance in the wheat
pit, but it was difficult to buy owing to tho
scarcity of offerings. September opened at
68c to 59, and sold quickly to59K59c.
Tnen on freer selling and the lec-up in the
wheat boom it fell to 69;. then rose to 59p,
bnt broke eventually to 5SJc and reacted to
59c. Late, in the session, when wheat went
soaring, corn touched 63c but closed at 63c.
.Trade was on a moderate scale, and there
was little in the way of news or individual
operations to affect the price.
Oats were steady to strong during most of
tho day, fluctuating within a range of 27
230.
itye was still strong and excited, SeDtem
bcr selling to and closing at 90c.
Provisions wero quiet but firm. Pork for
September delivery kept between $9 800 93
till wheat soared near tbe close, when pork
jumped to $10 12 and closed at $10 10.
