THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER SO. 1891J FEATURES OF TRADE. No Profit to -Manufacturers of Kails at Present Prices. BUILDERS' HARDWARE STILL SLOW " Eeccipts of Kio Coffee Largest for Tears nnd Prices Off. TIIE BEST ALL-AROUND YEAR ON RECORD Ornci: or Pii-rsncno Dispatch, Tsbumt, Sejit.29. t "While there has been some improvement in the iron and steel situation since the be- ginning ot he month, the improvement . . fails to reach the nail trade. Not in tlie entire history of the trade have nails been as low as they have been the past three months. "With st"cl cut nails selling for 51 60 per keg, and wire nails at 1 00, at the factories, it is difficult tose where the manufacturer can reap any profit. The ex pected rite has so far failed to materialize. Throughout the section, of which Pitts burg is the trade center, the lon hitch between carpenters and contractors in ilie fore part of the year, is now felt in the curtailment of trade in builders' hardware lines. No section of the country hows a greater decline in volume of trade in hardware lines than this. IJe eloped Hare Territory. Our dealers, however, have pushed trade Hi regions where the strike was not felt, siml thus in a measure made up for the de cline at home. So far as Pittsburg nnd the immediate vicinity are concerned, volume ofbuitders' hardware and nails handled this year 'will not be more than one-half that of last vear. Said a representative of one of our lead ing hardware firms: "Our volume of trade this year is about up to last year's volume, but there n ere special reasons for this iu our case, which will not hold good w ith many dealers. Our trade in Pittsburg has fallen far below that of last year, or any recent year We ha c b"en forced to seek out new fields and puh our goods beyond the regular lines. As to prices they were never lower, and in some lines manufact urers must be playing a losing game, I am unable to see how the- nail manufacturer can come out whole at present raUfs." The Coffca situation. The Kio coffee market shows a steady downward inclination' for a week or two past. A drop of c per lb occurred last week aud a similar or greater drop is likely to come anyda... The conditions are all here for a decline. Visible supply is tully double what it was thn time a year ago" Latest reports from Kio places stock there :it .124,000 bags, against IST.,000 bags at the same time a ear ago. The visible supply in New York is reported at 451,!)74 bags, against 5."i(t,:4i" bags last year at this time, and 4(0,!Kl bags the previous year. The total receipts of Kio coffee on the present crop, up to September 24, have been 1,120,000 bags, against CG4.O00 bags ame time last year, and r33,000 bags at the same time in 18SH. These figures prove the inimeimtv of this vear's crop, and the cer tainty of a further drop in prices. The visible supply of Kio coflee in the United States, is in round numbers, 1,100,000 bags. "While rio coffees are' weak and declining, Java's and Mochas are firm, with a tendency to higher prices. Nature's Generosity. So far as farm and garden products are concerned the year 1801 is the best all around year ever known as to yield. The cereal crops were all safely garnered weeks ago w ith the exception of corn, and the September hot wave has placed the corn crop on hure grouud. Moderate estimates place the addition to the value of the corn crop of Wie United States by reason of the warm September weather "at ?2j,000,000. On top ot our great crops comes the news from beyond the sea that Kastern Europe "will be very sbort this seasoj in breadstulis. Their loss will be America's gain, and millions of money will come to our shores as a conse quence of the Kuropean shortage. The last prop has been taken away from the croaker by the improved prospects of the potato crop. Not long since there was talk of a potato rot, but ncv this fear has been ex ploded and it seems trom the Government report that we are to have a great yield in this Hue. The outlook for the potato crop is a good one. The Government estimate of condi tion places it at 14.0 against Im.7 a year ago, nud 111.5 iu 1688, the year of heaviest pro duction. The New England Jlomestcad places the yield at l!l,445,0o3 bushels, a gain of 49,OO0,OU0 bushels from last year, but a decrease of 7,000,000 bushels "from 3SSS. "With short crops abroad the outlook is for fair prices, in spite of the large yield. A BULL DAY OX 'CHANGE. " The Iteport That the French Government Is Itnjlng I'p Grain and Provisions in .America Overcomes All IJearish News Strength ltulesln All the Pits. riIICAGO-Ixir.nl sentiment in the wheat pi: was bullish to-day,and it was sufficiently influential to keep the price above the clos ing figures of ye-terday throughout tho session in spite of tho generally beaiish character of the news rccen ed. The foun dation for this sentiment appeared to be an article iu a morning pacer saying that the Trench Government has agents in this country commissioned to buy enormous quantities of wheat and flour. The fact that the amount of w heat and flour on ocean passage decreased 1,72s 000 hushels last week tended to strengthen tho confidence of the bnlN, and the fact that the rains In the winter wheat belt west -of the Mississippi liver were not heavy enough to put the ground in condition for plowing for winter wheat seeding was also cited by them. On the oilier hand car rabies were w eak and lower, and private information Tiublic advices teeming icironrc to agree.

POINTS IN EEALTY. Contract Let for a Block of Nine Dwellings in Lawrenceville. COSTLY MISTAKES OF BUILDERS. Local Clubs looking Around for Places for Their Permanent Homes. THETKE.XDOP MONET AND SPECULATION Ijawrenceville will soon have an import ant addition to its residence capacity. Sir. Ia O. Brazier yesterday let a contract for a block of nine two-story brick dwellings on Fortieth street, which will dost about S30, 000. Work is to be urged forward as fast as possible, so as to have the job completed by the end of the year. Sir. "William Simmons is talking of put ting up five of a similar design on the same street. Massena Bros, nre furnishing ma terial for a large double house for Mrs. Taylor, at Brushton. Instances of Careless Building. In building, as much regard should be had for the future as the present. Many fine properties are often rendered compara tively worthless for want of forethought on the part of the builders. Three or four years ago several handsome residences were erected on Hill street, "Wilkinsburg. The owners appeared to take it for granted that no change would ever be made in the st-eet. They made a costly mistake. The borough council ordered the street to be graded, and in making the necessary level some of the houses on the upper side of the street were left eight or ten feet above grade and those on the other side as much below. Access from the front was practically cut off. This property would not sell to-day for anything like what it cost" If the owners had taken the precaution to obtain the graile before building they would not have been subjected to this loss and in convenience. Fifth avenue, above Suiithficld street, was built up regardless of the possible re moval of the humpj an oversight, or fanlt, which may cost a big sum of money some time. Diamond street affords another il lustration of carelessness in building. At Roup a number of fine properties have been seriously damaged by street improvement, which the owners ought to have anticipated and provided against. No one should build on the theory that his environments will never be changed. This is an age of pro gress, the wants and necessities of the peo ple nre constantly widening, new streets must be opened wherever and whenever needed, cost what they may. By keeping these considerations in view, home founders would often save trouble and expense to themselves or their descendants. It is simply foolish to put up a fine house on the edge of a narrow street, or where one is likely to be needed in a few years, and equally so to pay no attention to the grade. In building, as in other things, "a stitch in time saves nine." After Permanent Homes. Several of the leading political and social organizations of the city are on a still hunt for sites whereon to erect club-houses. The Columbus Club has almost settled on a site on Sixth avenue. If this deal has the good fortune to go through, it will in all proba bility result in a building which will be an ornament to the city. The Americus Club has not abandoned the idea of putting up a building of its own, but it is not likely it will make a move in that direction before next year. One of the members said a few days ago that they had had a good offer at Shadyside, which" had been taken into consideration. liuslness News and Gossip. It is expected that considerable acreage will come into the market on the Southside next spring. AV. N. Bell reports a rapid sale of lots in the Evans' estate plan, McKeesport. A building boom is expected there next year. An experienced broker remarked yester day: "It is impossible for any street car line in Pittsburg to haul enough passengers at 3 cents to make it a paying business." There may be food for reflection in this statement. Hozlcwood is a busy, growing place and a great manuf cturing center. The sale of lots there next Saturday by Samuel W. Black & Co. should attract a large attend ance of home-seekers. John D. Bailey sold 25 shares of Mechan ics' National Bank stock at 112' a frac tion below the price realized last week. II H. "Watkins has sold his residence property, on the corner of Parker and O'Hara streets, a 13-roomed house, and lot 60x93, for ?9,000 cash. .Aspinwall has good prospects for rapid transit. This is all that it needs to bring it into line with other progressive com munities. It is understood that all the preliminaries have been settled for widening Perrysville avenue, and that work will begin next spring. A piece of Third avenue property is about changing hands at a figure somewhat higher than realized at any previous sale. The capital stock of the American Steel Barge Company, manufacturers of whale- back steamers, has been increased from S2.000.000 to ?4,000,00C. Owing to an amicable agreement the sale of Third National Bank stock did not take place yesterday. John D. Bailey stating that it had been withdrawn. Stockholders ol the United States Glass Company will vote on the question of in creasing the capital stock on October 12. The election of president and managers of the Monongahela Bridge Company (Smith field street) will occur on the same day. The office of Kea Bros, and Company re mains closed.

I J ,,e CondlUon of the Local Money itiux-Kec The financial situation continues a subject of nctlve discussion. October, remarks the .FinanctaZ Chronicle, Is an Important interest period, nnd the natural disturbance of loans would offer opportunity for farther artificial notion by the calling of lonns. Among con servative bankers, however, such views find very little support or sympathy. Tho fact thnt by October 1 at least $3,000,000 of tho gold now in transit-will have nrrived is con sidered a protty effectual argument against tho success of any efforts to manipulate the money market. The moral effect of the movement is even greater than the actual influence of the millions of specie which nre now arriving from Europe. The rumored nttempts to affect rates may be made, bnt are not likely to succeed. The local market yestordny was moderate ly active and firm. There wa9 a fair call for discounts, and a sufficient supply of funds to meet it. nnd something over. Kates were steady at C7 percent. There was practi cally no difference between enrrenoy nnd exchange. Bank clearings were $2,103,310 06 and balances $361,847 89.

Tractions Still at tho Front Philadelphia Gas Goes to tho Rear, bnt Only Tem porarily Price Changes Few and Unim portant The Situation. While the market underwent no import ant changes In conditions or prices yester day, it was in some respects interesting. Business was restricted to the second and third calls. The active properties were Pittsburg and Birmingham Traction and Luster. The market was Interesting from the fact that the Tractions maintained their prom inence and that Philadelphia Gas was in a measure neglected, buyers oppcaring to be supplied or waiting for n concession. Under these circumstances the stock declined. Central Traction and Switch and Signal lost and Electric gained a fraction. Tho un. listed department was featureless. It Is nothing for stocks to advance when the public is buying ravenously and them hardly seems to be stocks enough to go around, but If prices are strongly held when the heavy reallzlngsalescomo or when some rude shock is given to the market this shows a substantial backing nnd a confidence in holding for the future. This is about the sit- ntion at this time. Sales: First call No sales. Second call 40 Pittsburg Traction at 40, 46 Luster at 1114, S Birmingham Traction at Third call 105 Luster nt 12J. 8 at 12.

Bllssonrl Pacific the Center of Attraction A Sharp Upward Tarn Toward the Closo suddenly Checked Nearly All Trans actions Are Among the Leaders. New York, Sept. 29. Tho stock market was again of a reactionary temper to-day, but the declines, whllo they wero mnterlnl In many stocks, wero entirely the result of tho operations of tho traders who are now taking advantage of the absence of organ ised support or heavy buying by the larger operators to tnalco a turn on the short side, nnd to-day they were free sellers of stocks, oven whllo tho Gould party again were buyers. Tho conditions aro all adverse to any marked reaction In stocks. Missouri Pacific was still the center of the efforts at depres sion and it was knocked down to C2o and closed at a email fraction above Its lowest. The traders raided the entire list through out tho day at different times, nnd no reac tion of note was seen until tho lust hour, w nen n sharp upward turn wns checked In tho last few minutes bv n lurthor mid, which, however, was looked upon as In- tcnurii to arreci me cpc;,ii,,; in i.nnnon To morrow. Its suddenness was seen hi tlin fnct thet Mlwcuri Pacific ivhlohlifi rallied to d4c, wns forced out to BJJjc. Tho market gave evidence of haviuu lost itsbrcatn, andtlio transactions ucro almost all In the leaders Atchison, Missouri Pa cific, St. Paul, Burlington, ltock Island and Union Pacific. The rest of tho list wns iulet from opening to chwo, and the only leatui'o of tho low-prlccd stocks was tho weakness In Hocking Valley nnd Sugar, In which the losses equal to tho-e In the leaders woro established. Loudon housos woro sellers nt tho opening, but bought stocks lator In the day nt the con cessions made. Tho stocks which het re sisted tho dny's pressure wore Luko Shore, Wheeling and Luko Krio preferred, Bui llngtoii und a few specialties. The market closed active nnd weak nt tho closo to the lowest of tho day. Tluiflnni losses of note Include: Missouri Pacific, 2J4; Sugar, 2; Union Pacific and Now England, lJi; Bock Island, 2; Atchison, lii: Burling ton and Northern ruclllo piefcneil, 1J. and others smaller amounts. Unllroad bonds wero less actlvo than usual of Into, but tho business was widely dis tributed and only Atchison Incomes and Chicago aim Northern Pacific 5i showed any particular animation. The market sympathized to some degree with tho weak ness In the share list, und tho moro actlvo Issues show losses liom their Inst pules ns a rule. Thero were many advances, FIRST I SECOXD CALL.

( Country Produce (Jobbing Prices) At Elgin last week's creamery butter prices were reaffirmed on Monday, so that there will be no change in rates this week. It is much more difficult to raise prices, of creamery, since oleo has been brought to the front. The vegetable market is dull and slow with the situation in favor of the buyer all nlong the line. Sweet pota toes are heavy stock at the decline noted yesterday. Grapes continue in plentiful supply with markets weak. Choice peaches are scarce and firm, and it is evident that their end is near for this season. California fruits are on gain as domestic peaches are on wane. Demand for the former has increased the the past few days and prices are a shade higher. Lemons, oranges and uannnns are also in better demand.

Destroys the good feeling of your home. These aie different ways that Na ture has to tell you that she has been outraged. Nature gives you fair notice that she requires assistance. Read what the renowned Chemist, Baron von Liebig, says: "It is more than probabje that tho main specific and most important ac tion of Carlsbad Spiudel Salts, the so-called solvent and liquifying action is dependent upon the alkaline con stituent We know the bile to be a saponaceous, that is an alkaline, com bination; and that the physiological use of the bile is to free the system from its superfluous fats. Now, what Nature accomplishes in its normal state, we produce artificially by the use of Carlsbad Sprudel Salts." This remedy is sovereign. It has been used in its original shape by emperors, kings, statesmen, poets, etc., for 500 years. Every drugstore has them.
