ST' THE PITTSBTJRG- DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 1 1891. 11 " BOOM IN STOYE LINES. The High Trice in Natural Gas Has Developed Many New APPLIANCES FOR SAVING OF FUEL. The Effects of September's Proust on Eultcr and Cheese, COFFEE IS STEADIER THAN OF LATE Office of riTT3Brno Dispatch, ) Teesday, Oct. 13. The trade in heating appliances lias not beei so brisk for years as it lias be n for the past few weeks. All dealers in stoves report an unnoual activity, anil in some lines it is difficult to till orders. The scarcity and ad vanced prices of natural cas have had the effect of greatly stimulating the inventive tkill of tir manufacturers, and how to economise tliis mel lias led to any number of contrivances and inventions whereby to save tbe public from going back to conl. At the flrt introduction of natural cas for beating purposes tliere was little need of economizing, but now tbe time lias come when the gas must cither be abandoned in out houiehold or the appliances which ill economize the fuel must bo adopted. Said a member o' one of our leading store firms to-day: "The great queion with bou-e-bolders In view of the approach of winter is how to make our luel do its work at least expense. Everybody is reluctant to go back to coal, after having enjoyed the com fort and clranliues ar natural gas as a fuel. A ga stove has been invented which will heat a room 14 feet s-quarc with a consump tion of eight and one half feet per hour. By an outlav or $C. more than that amount will be (saved in c single winter inonthut present prices of gas. The asbestos lire front docs not give the satisfaction or the regular stcve winch is made U) place in front or the fire place. It has become a necessity to the ordinary- consumer to economize gas. and it l certain, w ith the appliances now in use, the bills lor heating will be lcs this winter than lat, notwithstanding increased gas rates. Asa result or the higher prices of natural ga-, we are 'cllingmore base-burner stoves and furnaces than we 1'ave done for a number of ears. Our trade is in a better condition than it lias been since the advent of natural gas."' A I'amlne or Dairy Products. There bis not been for years so great a scarcity of Elgin creamery butter in this market as at the present time. Ohio cream ery is also v-ry scarce. The shortage Is no doubt due to the September drought, tho ctfects of which we are now feeling in dairy product lines. There is little difficulty sell ing fancy Elgin butter at 35c per tt. Average sales at Elgin Jloudav weia on a bais ot 30c. but high grades sold at 31g3Sc There is little demand for low grade cream ery, as the average consumer prefers oleo to anything iu butter Hues under choice. The same causes that have produced a shortage or butter have lessened supply or New Yoik cheese. The Septem ber make of New Yoik cheeso is gathered in by Jobbers as fast as it comes, to bo held for winter trade. Ohio cheese has not caught on to tho advance, but is fairly steidy nt prices quoted. September wis all that could be desired for the maturing of the corn -rop, but the drought or September proved disadvantageous to dairy products. Throughout tho dairv regions of the West the milk supplies fell off fully f0 per cent, and this at a time w hen the products of the oairy are usually at tneir oest. Coffee Outlook. The general movement of coffee has Deen toward a lower level for somo weeks past o lng to heavy receipts, at ourlast imports. The downward movement appears to be checked at least temporarily, and, on latest advices from New York indicate a better tone to trade. Following is the situation as given by the Boston HeraldTs trade report. "There lias been something of a reaction In the market in Kio coffees. In New York on Friday there was a gain of 50 points in prices, and all of the dealers, who have gen erally been losing heavily on the recent de cline, took advantage of the opportunity to hoist values to the fullest extent or all thej- would stand. In some circles it was contended that it was only a speculative movement betw een Xew York and Havre, entirely the work of one powerful house. Hut generally it is regarded as a natural re action after the decline, and thomatket may reasonably be expected to remain firm forsome weeks. That the final result will yet be lower prices there is little doubt, but temporarily the big dealers will do all in their power to sustain the market. The reports from Rio tail to indicate any new strength In the coffee market, and sta tistically the position is easy. The Kio cable ot yesterday makes the market there steady, with receipts ot 10.000 bags, and with re ceipts of Santos ot 11,003 bags. The total stock is 144,0 1) bags, against 100,000 bags at the same time a year ago. Yesterdav's New York market was wired steady, with 5 points decline. The weekly Rio cable quotes the market steady, with exchange at 14d. The dally n erage of receipts for tho week has been 13,000 baes; shipments to Europe, 34,003 baes; to the Vnited'States, GG 000 bags. The total visible supply of coffee is now figured at 505,170 bags; same 1 tme a year ngo, 300,113 bags;same time In 1859,471,333 bags. Tho total receipts at Rio, on the crop, up to October 8, were 1312.000 bags; same time a year ago, 600,000 bags: same time iu 1SS9, 619,000 bags. 6RAIX HIGHER AGAIN. Bad Weather In the Northwest Sends Up Wheat Corn Nervous and Unsettled, the October Future ISelng in the Iead Oats Quiet and Tlrm. CHICAGO The wheat market was very bullish to-day witli fair activity, and a de cided advance as lecorded, though the full appreciation w as not held. The news was all or a bullish character. The leading factor was tho bad weather reported in North Dakota, where it was said to be rain ing and freezing to the great injury of tho wheat in the fields, with prospects of snow. December opened at 99e915c, advanced steadily to 99;c, reacted to 93Jc, advanced steadily to 99c, reacted to anjc, grew strong again, advancing to $1 00, broke to99Cc, lluctuated some and closed at 93Je, against SSJic tit the close yesterday. Corn was nervous, unsettled and higher. The continuance of light receipts, the active shipping demand, light stocks and steady outward movement made shorts very anx ious, and on nppenrance of bull manipula tion there would boa rush to cover. The chief advance was in October, hicii opened at 55ff55c, against 54c at the close yester day; advanced steadily to 57c reacted to KVc; advanced again to 5SJc, held steady and closed at that. Oats were quiet and firm. Provisions were weak, especially poik and ribs. They were held up for a time by the strength in corn, but after a time made a decided slump. Tliere was a partial recov ery before the close, but final figures are lOfifSUc lower on pork than yesterday. Lard lB7ac1ovierand ribs 7J30c lower.

BUSINESS MEN SEE MONEY IN LAND Speculation Still in the Backgronnd and Values Merely .Nominal. OFFICE AND STEEET NEWS AND GOSSIP The success which has attended the erec tion of apartment houses in this city has brought them into great popularity. About 30 have been finished and occupied within the last two years. They pay about 8 per cent. The initial step was taken yesterday toward the erection of the first house of this kind in East Liberty. Jlr. George Hoton, of Cleveland, purchased a lot on Emerson street, and will at once begin the erection of a four-story flat. It will contain all the modem appliances for comfort and convenience. Should this venture turn out as well as expected, Mr. Hoton will build several houses of the same kind. With such n starter, East Liberty should catch on to tho idea very quickly. Thero nre many admirable sites in that quarter of the city for buildings of this kind. Thev have several strong points in their favor, one of which is ocouomy of ground, and theieforc cheaper rent. Investing in Realty. Business men are turning their attention more and more to real estate as an invest ment. Markell Bros., the East Liberty drug gists, yesterday purchased from James Se wrigbta lot with an eight-roomed Queen Auuo frame dwelling, situated on Margar et ta street, for $5,700. This was an Invest ment pure and simple. A prominent business man on Wood street, who desires his name withheld for the pro sent, is negotiating for about an acre near Fifth and Morewood nvenues,with a view to building two fino residences, also as an in vestment. A Time to Think. Tho following, from a good souroe, Is ex cellent advice to speculators: The present halt in buoyancy is quite healthy and calcu lated to do good for the stock-buying public. It is giving them an opportunity to think, and to form more deliberate opinions in re gard to stock values as based on present nnd prospective income of the different railroads. Thero are probably somo stocks that advanced in tho late movement as high as they ought to go in the next year, Judged by their actual merits, and there are others that may have only begun their upward movement if their loads earn as much as their sanguine friondB predict for them. Thesubiect is One that will bear somo In vestigation, And deliberate operations are mnch better than those entered into under tho spur or market excitement. Business News mil Gossip. Denniston, Elderkin & Co. report plenty of 5 per cent money for good mortgages. Buildings underway are being hurried along as fast as possible. The East End is full of this kind of business. Mr. J. II. Coleman, of tho East End, re ports an active inquiry tor residence prop erty in that quarter. Municipal and other local bonds are in de mand, showing that there is money for in vestment In sound securities. Kulin Bros, still pin their faith to Luster, whether it goes up or down.

Tho local money market was In good con dition yestei day. There was a good call for discounts, and routine business was active Tho supply of funds was ample. There wero no Indications of a tighter market. Greater case is probable, as a result of good re ceipts and the return of currency from the West. Hates wore steady at 67 per cent. Small notes were uncomfortably scarco. Bank clearings were $2,182,589 and balances $377,103 83 New York authorities differ ns to the amount of gold likely to be imported.

Three Sales Comprise tho Day's Trading Price Changes Few and Unimportant Both Sides Waiting- For the Unexpec ted to Happen Range ot Values. Yesterday's proceedings on change wero uneventful. Oil received more attention than stocks. Price changes were few and unimportant. Buyers appeared to bo more anxious than sellers, thongb there was no urgency either way. The natural gassers held their own. State ments, official and otherwise, are to the effect that the supply promises to hold out during tho winter. Tho first cold snap will put this claim to the test. In the" mean time investors will no doubt pursue their usual policy of caution. Thero was no perceptible change in tho tractions excopt, perhaps, a little firmer tone to Duqucsne. Wilkinsburg Council has glvon it more timo in which to start that branch of the load. Tho new cars are said to be giving full satisfaction. Luster adA anced a fraction on intimation that favorable news had been received. Something definite from the plant may be looked for in a short time. Electric received no inspiration from Bos ton and was neglected. General subscrip tions to the preferred stock were reported. There was some Inquiry for railroad bonds.

Final Changes All Slight Advances Coal Shares the Leading Feature In the Aft ernoon Lackawanna and Reading Score the Largest Gains Bonds Quiet. New York, Oct. 13. The stock market to day was quiet, with somo spurt3 of activity In a few of the leading shares, and while there was considerable hammering of tho list by the traders, a firm tone was displayed during the greater portion ot tho day. Slight gains are the rnlo at the close. Tho signs point to the fact that the market is largely oversold In proportion to its size. Prices this morning were only slightly changed from those of last evening, but thero was no marked demand for stocks, and the necessities of tho shorts again Im pelled them to make a drlvo at the list, with no material result. The courso of the mar ket was soon changed, however, under tho stimulus of lower figures, and Sugar, Rock Island, Louisville, Chicago Gas and Atchi son were prominent in the advance which followed. 1 he rapidity of the upward move ment was a warning that the pace was too fast, and the covering operations wont on slower after that time, dullness again set ting in. A firm tone gradually overspread the mar ket during the afternoon, while there was little or no feature until the last hour, when the Coal stocks suddenly sprang into promi nence, displaying the most pronounced stiength, and they were the only shares which showed any material change at the close. The rest or the market failed to re spond and the close was quiet to dull, but firm generally, at only slight changes irom first prices. Tho final changes are all ad vances, but for slight fractions only, excep in Lackawanna and Reading, which are up percent. Railroad bonds were dnll to-day, notwith standing tho fact that a largo number of issues were traded in, and no activity was seen in any portion of the list. Prices wero held for trade, and final changes of note aio generally advances after a featureless day. The sales reached $732,060. The highest and closing quotations were: Atchison inc..

Home and Tropical Fruit Firmer Cereals Steady at the Quotations, and Choice Hay Advanced Movement In Grocery Lines Slow. OFPICS OP PlTTSBURO dispatch, Tcesdav. Oct. 13. f Country Produce Jobbing Prices The sharp frosts of the past two or three nights have sent garden stutt" to a higher level. Tomatoes are away up, prices being advanced from. 40 to 90c per bushel within a day or two. Cucumbers, turnips and cab bage have also joined in the upward move ment. Eeceipts of potatoes have been on tie gain the past few days and markets are steady. Sweet potatoes are quiet at quota tions. In fruit lines we note that peaches are on the wane and that their day will soon be over. Grapes are still' in plenty, but markets are firmer. Tropical fruits are in improved demand as domestic fruits give signs of retiring. Lemons, oranges and all California fruits are firm. Bananas are quiet. At the Monday meeting of the Elgin Butter Board prices of creamery were ad vanced, as has been predicted In this column fora number of days, the advance being equal to 2c, making, with last week's rise, 4o per pound In a week.
