THE PITTSBTJHG- DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 19, 1893.
FRUITS OF TIIE SOIL
Aie Lovror in Price Than Thej- Have
Keen These Many Years.
A GOOD SEASON FOR CONSUMERS.
America's Surplus Cereals Are Seeded in
European lands.
COFFEE CROP AEOYE THE AVERAGE
Ofuce of Pittsburg Pisr-A-rcn,
Tcdsdvy, Aug. IS.
A comparison of fruit and vegetable
prices a- compared with this time lat year
rcyc?ls the fact that the cost of living is much
lcs now than then. There was no time last
seacn when tomatoes went much below
1 Oil per bushel, and the general range was
61 00 to Si 25 per bushel. Now tomatoes
pre selling at three bushels for Si 00, and
flow at that yinee Cucumbers arc selling
now at SO to 70c a bushel b.ilct, wherea a
year ajro the price v a"; $ 1 50 per basket. Tlio
same difference prevails all alonsmiit and
vcpetalilc lines There has been no time m
the last half do7en years when fruits, and
iCRCtobles weie so low at- they are this
sra-on
Our markets have been glutted with farm
and i;irdcn products for the past two weeks
and, as a consequence, drifts of markets has
been steadily downward. The market
pardener finds his occupation almost Rone,
as Jaraiers since harvest are largely supply
ing retail stores and homes with Iruits and
vegi tuulos said a Neville Island gardener
3 ebterday "This is ono of the worsi seasons
loi our "trade that 1 can remember. We
have plentj of stuff, but e;et en' little for
it. 1 lien crops are so large as they are this
pcasor, the producer has bard work and
s mall pa -T. The gardener gets more and has
less labor when thejieldisus light as it Mas
last season
Last summer, 1 could flndready customers
lor all I had to bring to market, and was
generally -old out long before noon. This
t-eason, 1 have great difficulty selling my
('tuff at all, at prices not more than one-half
the rantre of last eai The gardener's
happ time is v hen croD are light and
fruit? high Then his -work is light and pro
fits large lint In such a prolific year as
this i- Inn clots of work and little money.
While this is a good season for consumers,
it i not as profitable to the producer as it
was last yeai, oi for several ear's past."
The Cereal Ontlook.
The late bull movement in cereals was, no
doubt, inaugurated on the strength of shoit
crops in Europe Kuian advices indicate
nlraost .1 famine in Lastcrn Europe; a section
-which, is utu-illj a great source of supply to
tlio Western sections of Europe. Instead of
exporting, it is now demonstrated that large
jiarts ol Russia ill be forced to import
neat and flour The largest crop of w heat
wliich this tourtij has jielded In anyone
year tus SUOnofiOO bushels The lowest
estimate ol this year's yield is placed
at CiOAOOOO bushels and some
estimates place it at 700,(00 000
busiicls T-iere will be, therefore, notlcss
than 300 OOO.OiK) bushels left for export alter
our home wants are met. This surplus can
not fail to add immensely to the country's
pleat wealth. It is jet tooearlj to estimate
the corn crop, hut "all signs point to a full
average. The acreage ot corn is larger this
year than c er before, and e en a moderate
!eld insures an amount equal to ls9, when
the total w as 2 JOO.OOO 000 bushel:
The Coflcc Crop.
This Is the quiet season for coffee Con
sumption is light and retail dealers buy
sparingly m the faith that future changes
are almost certain to be towards a lower
level. The crop of Rio coffee is unusually
larce, but lor speculate e or other purposes,
stocks have been witheld from the American
markets According to latest advices the
total stock at Rio is l,000 bags, against 181,
000 big-at this time last year. At Santos the.
visible supplj is 40,000 bags, against nearly
double this amount a j ear ago. Receipts of
Ilio coffee on present crop up to
august 12, was "009,000 bags, against
3Go,00J bags last year at this
time and 01.000 bags for the corresponding
period ol Is-9 On the crop of Santos, re
ceipts up to August 12, were S8.000 bags,
agair-t lrt-,001 bags l.i-t joar at this time,
nnd 239.000 bags for the previous year- The
lai!j aierage of receipts of Rio coffee for
the past w cck has been 43.000 bags, and of
Eintoa 7.000 bags. Visible supplj ot coffee
at this date is 324 21 bigs.acainst 332,509 bags
at this time last j ear. and 431,877 ags two
ears ago Ja.i coHee. are in unusually
light supplj and markets are icrj-flrni.
There is but one explanation of the stiong
coffee markets, when the large crop is taken
into view, and that is, that stock
is in the hinds of speculators who
ore withholding it from markets.
I5 allordmarv rules of trade coffee, should
liae declined before this time The drop
of c in packages noted m this column on
Monday is a straw showing the drift of
things. Lower prices must come or all signs

C11IC.VOO Thcclose of the market yestcr-
tlay at Jl 03 for December w heat left it
denuded of the sensitional addenda which
excitement had added to a naturally strong
condition of affairs. The foreign market
liad lost a good deal of yesterday's buoyancy
Sind like the trade on this side, appeared to
fiaveaictt Tne principal fluctuations in
December w heat up to about ten minutes of
the close of the session, were as follows:

41W.S1014 il03.
The highest point of the day was reached
nboui 11 clock, the advance which oc
curred then making the quotation $1 04. It
w as caused by a Xw York dispatch, w tiich
repoi tod that Russia included wheat in the
order prohibiting exports The truth of the
reticrt nusmuch doubted, howeier, as onlj
one house here received any such news. The
weakness which the market showed in the
latter part of the session was due to the
lower ouotations from the foreign markets.
There was a short-l.ved spurt from $1 02Ja to
1 VR about ten minutes from the close, but

SETTLED " AT LAST
A Long Controversy Over an Acre at
Shadyside Concluded.
A COMPROMISE PRICE ACCEPTED.
Ground Upon Which Shadyside Station
Stands Now Owned hy The Ifailroad.
TIIE FEATURES OF LOCAL SPECULATION
Liggett Bros, yesterday concluded for
Jlrs. Hitchcock a settlement with the Penn
sylvania Kailroad Company, for one acre of
land on which Shadyside station stands.
The price paid by the railroad company
was ll,2o0 cash, subject to all sewer and
street improvement charges. The property
has been in dispute between the parties
since.J885, when the railroad company ap
propriated it for statipn and yard purposes,
and have since made extensive improve
ments, having now on it one of the hand
somest stations on the western end of the
road. Considering the fact that th value
of the land must be taken as of the value of
the time when the company took possession
in 1885, the price obtained is considered a
liberal one, although the property at its
present value would bring at least $20,000.
Aids to Success.
The following description of "The Suc
cessful Real Estate Broker" is taken from
the Baltimore Record: "A successful broker
should be thoroughly acquainted with the
general laws of lealty, and particularly so
with the laws affecting real estate in his
locality. He should keep apace with all re
cent legal decisions where there is a bearing
upon the subject of realty and transfers, that
he may readily ana with safety transact all
business brought to him by his patrons. Ho
should be accurate and clear in descrip
tions, avoiding superfluous matter that
might lead to entanglement or cause legal
complications.
"His position is more delicate than that of
the lawyer, who can appeal to the court, the
jury, or to decisious corresponding to the
cause of issue It would be difficult for a
lawjerto settle a matter at issue between
disputants, yet the real estate broker has
his task to perform. It olten occurs that
the parties to a trade or sale consider that
the'other is obtaining the best of thebargain,
and" it is no easy mattor to reconcile them.
There neer was a graver mistake commit
ted b ncrsons who lonn a mistaken idea of
economy, 1 efuse to place fhoir property in
the hands of the experienced real estate
broker, who can more unreservedly and
clearlj represent the advantages of proper
ty to the purchaser than the owner."
It might be added that from a Pittsburg
standpoint the most successful real estate
biokeristheone who can show the biggest
commission account.
The October Ileglra.
There are two flitting seasons in Pitts
burg April and October. There were fewer
changes in April than usual, owing to the
scaicitj- of small houses. It is a little too
earlj- to forecast w ith much accuracy tlio
October movement, but the indications are
that it will be restricted to actual necessi
ties. It is ceitain that it will not be as large
as if there had been no carpenters' strike,
which left a great many people without
means to improve their condition by mm -mg
into better quarters than they now
occupy. It also prevented a large number
of people from building. For these reasons
it is likely there will be comparativelj- few
changes in October. Xo material alterations
are expected in rental rates.
A Loss- to Pittsburg.
It will bo tho occasion of regret to the
friends of Mr. Henry Fisher, the well-known
oil producer and operator, to learn that,

STOCKS BROADENING OUT.
SPECULATORS' ATTEXTIOX DIRECTED
TO "WESTERN SHAKES.
Union Pacific Losing Its Preponderance
Atchison Leadsin Activity, but Louisville
and Xashville In the Upward Movement
The General List Is Higher.
Xtw York, Aug. 18. The stock market to
day was again active and strong, w ith an
unmistakable broadening tendency and ma
terially higher figures wero reached in every
thing on the list, and this in the face of
heavy realizations and the strenuous efforts
of the bears to prevent any further ad
vances in prices. The relative importance
at present of the Union Pacific affair was
seen in the steadily diminishing volume of
business in that slock, although the Gould
shares weie still sluggish and feverish.
Atchison was agaid the leader in point of
activity, while Louisville and Xaslmlle still
led the upward movement, closelj' follow ed
by Rock Islind. The operators confined
themselves entirely to the Western stocks,
and the interest in tho movements of the
Grangers was greater than in that of any
other group of stocks on the list. While
everything shared in the general advance,
the important movements were confined to
those stocks. There were a few shares ad
vanced, as usual, among the low-priced
specialties, Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg
and Pittsburg and Western preferred being
most conspicuous, but tho Industrials wero
quite neglected, with the one exception of
Chicago Gas, which in the early trading was
specially strong.
Tho news from the meeting of the cred
itors of the Union Pacific was reassuring,
and, while that stock failed to answer until
late in the dav, prices in the general list
crept up from 1 to 4 per cent, w ith specially
sharp gains in a lew low-priced shares.
After the announcement ot the arrange
ment agreed upon, by which the floating
debt of the Union Pacific is to be taken caro
of, there was a selling movement in that
stock which wiped out all of its advance,
and realizations in the general list became
more abundant and prices yielded all
along the line, the last hour be
ing marked by a steady though
slow decline. This downward movement,
wliich was helped by the efforts of the
traders to bring about a reaction, w as suffi
cient in manj' cases to entirelj- wipe out tho
early gains, and manj' of the active stocks
actually closed lower than last evening.
Tho trading in railroad bonds was again
most gratifyinglj- large, and the temper of
tho market was decidedly strong, no sympa
thy with the lato decline in stocks being
shown. The active bonds are almost invari
ably higher, and many material gams weie
made during the daj-. The transactions foot
up $2 302,000. Burlington convertibles roso
2yjc, and Western Xew York and Pennsylva
nia 2'ds 2 per cent.
The rollowlng table shows the prices of active
stocks on the Xew York Stock Exchange yesterdav.

Countky PBODtTcr. (Jobbing prices)
At the Monday meeting of the Elgin board
prices of creamery butter were advanced 3c
per pound, making an advance of Cc in the
past two weeks. The new rates will be due
in this market on Friday. Our jobbers re
port an unusnal scarcity of choice creamery
butter. Cheese is firm at quotations. Lim
burg cheese is a shade higher. Fruits and
vegetables are still a drug. Xearby garden
ers report that products in their Hue are
lower than for years, and that it hardly pays
to bring tomatoes, cabbage, etc., to market.
Choice Jersey potatoes are in better demand
and prices are advanced. Sweet potatoes
are weaken. Cantaloupes are coming in too
freely for demand, and 100 crates have been
condemned hj- Fruit Inspector Kllpore since
Saturdaj-. Peaches are improving in qual
itv, and'demand is also Improved. All trop
ical fruits drag with the exception of lemons,

Grain, Flour and Feed.
The only sale on call at the Grain Ex
change to-day was a carload of No. 1 timothy
hay at $11 50, spot. Receipts as bulletined, 35
cars, of which 19 cars were by Pittsburg,
Cincinnati and St. Louis, as follows: 14 cars
of oats, 1 of hay, 1 of middlings and bran, 1
of feed, 1 of corn, 1 of wheat. By Pittsburg,
Ft. Wayne and Chicago, 5 cars of oats, 2 of
feed, 2 of hay, 1 of straw, 6 of flour. The re
action predicted in this column yesterday is
here. Markets are w enter all along the lino
of cereals, and bull speculators who failed to
unload are now on the stool of penitence.
Tlio only good ground for thelate bull move
ment in wheat and flour was the short crop
in Europe, and this was worked for mora
than was in it. The excess in this country
will more than make up for European short
age. Corn is steady, and oats and hay are
weak.
Following quotations are for carload lots on
track Dealers charge an advance on these prices
