(FEATURES OF TBADE.
Eecent Sharp Frosts Served to Ad
vance Garden Stuff.
TEOPICAL FRDITS GROW FIRMER.
A Season, of Profit to Consnraers of Vege
tables and Fruit&
COFFEE MARKETS ARE STRONGER
Office of Pittsbi'iki DisrATcn, )
Tuesday, Oct. 20.
It will be cen by reference to domestic
market column that all garden stuff has
been moving upward in price since the ap
pearance of frosts. In the early part ot
October and all through September tomatoes
were a drug at three bushels for a dollar.
Sow thev are brisk at SI '2o to $1 50 per
bushel. Roasting ears have doubled in
price the pat week. The time is evidently
at hand when garden stuff can no longer be
depended on. For same reason that vegeta
bles are moving up, fruits of all kinds are firm
an! higher. A week a20 grapes were dull and
lv at INc to 20c per basket. Now they go
frtely at 25c to 26c per basket. With the
.ltcline of home lruits comes an improved
dtnand for tropical fruits. Florida oranges
a-e to the front The season thus far lias
Icon anythine but a prosperous one tor
.ealers in tropical fruits, The great abund
itice and low prices of home raised fruits
tavc very much lessened the demand forthat
which comes from tropical lands. Xow that
domestic fruit is near its goal for this sea
son, that which comes from afar is increas
ing in demand.
Among the new features of produce mar
lets is the growing demand for nuts, giving
evidence that Hallowe'en is near. The
Tield in this line is reported excellent.
t?lere have been no failures in this country
this season so far as the products of old
Bother earth arc concerned. The year 1891
vill utand as one of the prolific years. The
rield of nature's products is above the aver
se all along the line, and in many lines
the yield breaks all former records as re
gards volume.
Fotatoes Plentiful.
A Liberty street produce commission mer
chant prophesied a month ago through The
Dispatch trade columns that potatoes
would go below 40c per bushel this falL
This prediction has already corns true, as
rood stock was offered to-day in car load
lots at 33c per bushel. From "the last in
formation that can be obtained the yield in
this line is -within 3 per cent of the greatest
on record. Last year there was a famine of
potatoes, while now there is a feast. The
cost per bushel last fall was as great or.
greater than the present cost per barrel.
There are multitudes of families '.vbere
the difference in price "twixt now and then
will be equivalent to a drop of SI 00 per
week in household expenses. This has been
a eason of which the consumer cannot com
plain. The producer has had light profits
lor his pains. But the householder's ex
penses in lines of vegetables and fruits are
this season on an average 3) per cent lower
than last season.
The Coflee Outlook.
Demand for Bio coffee shows some im
provement the past week and the downward
movement of prices has been checked. Re
ceipts at New- York and other American
ports have not been so large of late as they
had been, and this has sriven new strensth
to markets. According to the latest reports
the total stock on hand at Rio is 307,000
bags, against 100,000 bags this time last
ye?r. The daily average receipts tor the
w-eck past at Rio was 13,000 bags. Ship
ments to Europe for the week 24,000 bags,
and to the United States 42,000 bags. The
total visible supply in this country, accord
ing to latest reports, is 487,000 bags, against
.Vh;,000 bags this time a year ago.ahd 337,000
bags the previous year at this time. Total
receipts on the crop at Rio up toJOctober 15
were 1,432,000 bags, against 802,000 bags
at the same time last year, and 674,000 bags
for the previous year.
Java coffees are scarce and fair, and prices
are up '.c per pound within the past week
lor fancv stock.
FLUCTUATING GRAINS.
Wheat Opens low, Tnkes a Strong Pull, and
Closes With a Collapse Favorable
Weather in tho Threshing Districts
Corn Strong Most ot the Day.
CHICAGO Wheat opened a small
fraction lower this morning than the closing
figures last night.uut soon strengthened and
sold tip ?45jc and cased OH slightly kbove
yesterday's clo.e, then in the lasthourmade
a decided break and closed w eak at the bot
tom figure of tho day. The weaker option
was attributed to a weaker tone in the
cables and to rather tree selling orders fol
lowing the weakness of yesterday. The con
tinued f.ivorable weather for threshing in
tho Northwest was also a weakeninp factor.
The offerings were readily absorbed and
there w ere free buying orders In the market
Ironi Nen York. Other strengthening
features were the light receipts at Minne
apolis and Dulntli, the Rood seaboard export
movement and the leduction of 1,100,000
bus-hels in the amount of wheat and flour on
ocean passage.
December opened at iKi'c against DSJc at
the clo-e yesteidav, advanced steaduv to
SS4e, saasged off to 96Jsc and held steady for
a tunc around iiCJsC. At abont noon- there
MTsa sharp rally, during which 97c -was
touched for an instant. Then a whole batch
of weak cables camo in a bunch. On these
there was a rush to sell and the bottom went
out. December tumbled to nnd closed at
si'Cc.
Corn was strong during most of the ses
sion, especially the noaiby futures, on ac
count ot the decreasing stocks of old corn.
Stocks are low. The old bull clique helped
the adanre. Near the close, however, when
wheat went to pieces, corn broke in syinpa
tbj with it, and closed slightly lilcliur than
on jesterday. November opened at iilic
and sold to i'Jic, but when the slump came
dropped to 1 'sC, at -w hich it closed.
Oats followed corn in its fluctuations, and
clux-d with an advance of i4Kc on the
near futures.
Hog products were also under tho infl
ence of tho torn market, being firm during
the forenoon and weak during the after
noon. The fluctuations were confined to a
moderate range, and the close shows a loss
in comparison w ith vesterdav's Inst prices

The Wife of I he Mexican President Organ
izes a Game for Flood Sufferers.
City op Mexico, Oct. 20. The revival
of bull fighting in the City of Mexico yes
terday was in the name of charity. A com
mittee of ladies of this capital, with Mrs.
Diaz, ihe wife of the President, at their
head, organized the show for the benefit of
the sufferers from the foods in Spain. It
was one of the greatest spectacles of the
Mexican national sport ever witnessed in
the .NTorth American continent.
l'lie time set was 2:30 in the afternoon. It
is estimated that 12.000 persons were pres
ent. Two military bands were present and
four companies of infantry served to insure
good order. Xine bulls of celebrated breed
were killed amid the "bravos" of the spec
tators, "he animals had been trained lor
the occasion and many of the matadors had
narrow escapes. President Diaz and bartv
lett the ring during the killing of the eighth

into the bulls after the fight were sold by
peddlers at extravagant prices.
A PIttsburgrr Honored.

of his selection as one of the judges of the
Madison Square Garden Chrysanthemum

REALTY PICKED UP.
After Much Dickering the Hnbley
Property Changes Hands.
SALE OP AN EAST END RESIDENCE.
Completion of Larimer Avenue Bridge Gives
That District a Boost.
FEATURES OF JIONET AND SPECULATION
Frequent mention has been made in this
column of the Hubley property in Wilkins
bnrg. After being on the market for sev
eral years it has finally changed ownership,
the transfer having been consummated yes
terday. The purchaser is Mr. James C.
Dick. .1. II. Coleman & Co. conducted the
negotiations. The consideration was pretty
close to $20,000.
The lot has a frontage of 191 feet on Penn
avenue and extends back 260 feet to Wal
lace street. The house is a large two-story
brick mansion. It was built about 25 years ago,
and was at that time one of the finest resi
dences in the county -outside of the cities.
The ground will be subdivided and put on
the market.
Fine Residence Picked Up.
Dr. J. K. Nelan, a well-known East End
physician, has purchased from Thomas
Marshall a fine stone and frame dwelling,
with a lot 50x117, on Marchand street, for
17,000. The house was erected about three
years ago by Mr. Camp. He sold it to Mr.
Palmer, he'to Mr. Marshall and he to Dr.
Jsclan.
This shows how property moves in that
quarter of the city.
Boomed by a Bridge.
The Homewood district is one of the live
liest and most progressive quarters of the
city. The completion of the Larimer ave
nue bridge has stimulated improvement on
almost every street. About 50 houses
across Tegley's run have been completed or
put under way within the last few months.
The grading and paving of Frankstown
avenue, for almost a century known as
Pucketty road, are almost completed.
Homewood avenue will be improved next
spring. It is almost solidly built up from
the Pennsylvania Kailroad to Frankstown
avenue. The city is moving houses off the
line of Grazier street to Sterritt street,
within municipal limits. As contemplated,
the Duquene Traction cars will go out
Grazier street to 'Wilkinsbnrg and the Citi
zens' Traction out Bennett street to the
same place.
The realization of these expectations, by
affording the people adequate transit facili
ties, will give the Homewood district a still
greater impulse, and by attracting home
seekers from within and without, hasten its
development.
AH Deals Broken Off.
AH oflers for the Singer property at
"Wilkinsburg, running from 575,000 to 90,
000, having been unsatisfactory, it is under
stood that the owners have decided to plot
and put it on the market themselves. It
consists of about 32 acres and an elegant
stone mansion.
The Female College people took a fancy
to it a few months ago, but were finally
scared off by the price, which was more
than they felt able to pay without at the
same time getting a building suitable for
school purposes.
Basinets News and Gossip.
It is understood that the Female College
people have decided to build on the church
lot recently purchased in the Baum plan.
It is large enough for both.
Lincoln, Negley, Highland, Fifth and
Ellsworth avenues and part of Forbes street
are greatly distinguished for fine residences
and handsome grounds. Almost every
house on them is an object lesson in stone
or brick.
Business on 'Change remains below zero.
Brokers attribute the apathy in stocks to
activity in other lines of business.
Abel, Smith & Co., window glass manu
facturers of this city, have struck a 4,500,
000 cubic feet per dav gas well near their
works at Lancaster, O., and have all the
gas they need to operate their plant at that
place.
Earnings of all the street car lines are
said to be increasing. This accounts for
the growing demand for the stock.
McDonald is still a wet blanket to the
oil market
Henceforth until further notice passen
gers on the Center and Negley avenue
division of the Duquesne Traction road
must change cars at the stable".
Gold is arriving at Xcw York from Eu

Mr. James AY". Drape, who has just re

No Trospect of a Stringent Money Market
The Local Movement.
At the city hanks yesterday a fair demand
for loans and discounts was reported, with
funds sufficient for all requirements. Rou
tine business was active. Currency and ex
change traded about even. Bank clearings
were $2,317,454 72, and halances $303,9:4 CS.
A recognized financial authority says:
"Owing to prudent Treasury management
and expansion in the circulation, together
with plentiful gold imports and the strong
fiosition of the associated banks, there is
ittle prospect of extreme stringency In
tooiiej-. Enough and to spuro aeems prob-
ablo for crop and trade requirements,
though the demand from the latter quarter
may subsequently become urgent enough to
stiffen rates and so affect speculation."
At New York yesterday money on call was
easier, ranging from 3 to 4 per cent, last
loan 3 per cent; closed offered at3percent
Prime mercantile paper, 5Jf6J per cent.

SPECIALLY INTERESTING FEATURES
OF THE DAY ON 'CHANGE.
Bayers 'Willing, bat Holders Stubborn
Philadelphia Gas, Switch and Signal
and Lnstor Still Holding Attention
Pipeage Lets Go Gossip and Business.
Proceedings on call yesterday were of the
usual character. The bidding covered a
good range of stocks, but amounted to little.
Holders would not lot go.
The featuie, as on tho day before, was
Philadelphia Gas. It was bid up , and
closed steady, with orders unfilled.
The tractions were steady nnd weak in
spots. Citizens' and Pleasant Valley de
clined a fraction each. Central and Pitts
burg were unchanged. The unlisted mem
bers of this group had some support, and
maintained their position. Manchester was
offered at 38, Duquesne at 12 and Birming
ham at 17Ji. with 16 bid. Citizens' Trac
tion 5's were wanted at 105l, but held at
Luster was interesting as usual. It has a
strong and confident backing, and is handled
with great care ana caution, xt nnisnea a
better than the opening.
Pipeage dropped to the lowest point ever
torched by it, 5 bid, on a report that the
dividend would be passed as a result of the
trouble and revolution in the Allegheny
Heating Company.
Switch and Signal was one of the strong
features, being bid up a fraction with none
in sight. Electric was still disappointing.
The expectod boom is stranded somewhere,
but may come along when least expected.
There were no sale. s at the first call. Those
at the second comprised 30 shares of Luster
at 12 and 50 Pleasant Valley at 22. At the
third call 10 shares of Philadelphia Gas were
marketed at Wi and 110 atllM- After call
20 shares of the samo stock changed hands
at 1

SPURTS IN TWO STOCKS.
VANDEKBILTS LEAD IN ACTIVITY
DULL SHARE MARKET.
The Adams Express Company Annonnces
Itself Uninjured by Hoey's Transactions,
Which Causes a Rise in That Stock Most
Securities Score Moderate Advances.
New York, Oct, 20. Aside from the arrival
of another consignment of gold from the
other side of tho ocean and some announce
ments of a reduction of rates In the West
there -was nothing or a nature to stir tho
sluggish stream of speculation to-day, and
the stock market continued to drift into
dullness, the volume of business being the
smallest since the late activity begun to fall
away. There was on the whole, however, a
firmer tone to the dealings and most stocks
traded in are slightly higher this evening.
There was another spurt of activity and
strength in the Vandorbllt stocks in the
afternoon. These advances, however, were
the only movements of importance in the
list ameng the usually active shares, but
the most striking advance of the day was in
Adams Express, which followed the an
nouncement by the officials of tho company
that after an examination bv the officials ot
the company they find that it will not suffer
in any way from the losses incurred in the
Hoey transactions. The stock, on several
sales on small lots, roso to 145 from 134 last
evening, and closed at close at the best
figure.
The opening prices were generally higher
than those ot last evening, but, while the
tendency of tho market under the early de
mand was to advance, the movement
amounted to but little and the traders ham
mered a few of the leading shares with some
effect, bringing the figures down below
those of tho otiening. In the afternoon.
however, the spurt in the Vanderbllts had
the effect of spurring up the entire list and
oettcr prices were reached all along tho
line. The late trading saw a considerable,
decline from these prices, but the close was
again firm, though dull and generally at tho
close at the highest of the day.
The final changes are almost all in the di
rection of higher prices, though a gain ot 1
per cent in Lake fehoiewas the only one or
importance. On the other hand, Sugar,
which had been unusually active, was de
cidedly weak and closed with a loss of 1 per
cent.
The total sales of stocks to-dav were
120,766 shares, including: Atchison," 10,970;
Canada Southern 3,517; Chicago Gas, 3,640;
Erie, 13 000; Louisville and Nashville, 6,2b0;
New York Central. 8 442; Northern Pacific
preferred 5,430; St. Paul, 8,100; Union Pacific,

Country Produce Jobbing Prices
At the Monday meeting of the Elgin Board
creamery was advanced 3c per pound.
Faucy grades were sold at Elgin at 33c per
pound, which means a 30c market here. At
the advance all choice stock was promptly
taken. Supply of the best creamery but
ter has not been equal to demand iu this
market for a week or two past. Potatoes
are in very large supply and were offer 'd to
day in carload lots at Socper bushel, on track.
A Liberty street commission merchant oi
lers to furnish five or ten cars at these
figures. Sweet potatoes are also in bounti
ful supply and markets are quiet. Garden
stuff is still climbing up, as our quotations
will disclose. Tomatoes, beans, cucumbers
and roasting ears are nearing their end for
this season, and as a consequence prices are
sharply advanced. The first.Florlda oranges
of the season arrived within a few days.
New layer figs are also on the market.
Lemons are scarce, and fancy stock readily
sells at outside quotations.
