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.

POINTS IN EEALTY.
East Liberty to Have a Four Story
Apartment House as a Starter.
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.

unimportant. Buyers appeared to bo more
anxious than sellers, thongb there was no
urgency either way.
The natural gassers held their own. State

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

SPURTS OP ACTIVITY.
OTHERWISE THE STOCK MARKET IS
VERY QUIET AND DULL.
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:

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

ness on nn economical basis, tho saying in

to pay full dividends on this issue.
