THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 189L 11 A PLENTEOUS SEASON The Earth Seldom Produces Snch an. Abundance of Fruits and OTHER PBODUCTS AS THIS YEAR. The Sugar and and Molasses Crop From a 2few Orleans Standpoint A BOSTON TTEW OF COFFEE OUTLOOK Office op riTTSBuna Dispatch, ) Tuesday, October 27. J Prices of garden stuff have been Terr much stimulated by recent frosts. All through September tomatoes were a drug three bushels for L Now they are active and firm at $1 75 to ?2 00 per bushel. Gar den stuff has been moving steadily upward in price tor the past week or two. Potatoes are the exception to the rule. The latter are in supply in excess of demand, and prices are 15 to 20c per bushel lower than a month ago. The potato crop is fiir above the average this season and within 3 per cent of the highest yield on record. Receipts of potatoes in this market were close to 400 carloads, and this week so far thows no decline. The very best are slow st 40 cents per buhel on track, and 43c to EOc from store. A year ago at this time the cot of choice potatoes was close to SI 50 per bushel. There are multitudes of fam ilies where the consumption of potatoes is equal to a bushel a week. Tlie low prices this seat-on mean a saving of 5-1 per week on this one item. "When it is remem bered that fruits and vegetables of all kinds have been below average in price all this season, there is no .ground on which gmniblcrscau stand. The average price of household necessities is fully ST. per cent below last year's rates. The decline in price of cereals is little less than that in decline of garden stuff. Nature has been wonderfully prolific this season. There U no failure at any point. And, . with short crops in Europe, this country cannot fail to have a time of prosperity for the year to come. Sweetening Goods. One of the most reliable and best posted merchants of New Orleans, who makes a pecialty of sugar, in a recent letter to one of our wholesale grocer firms, has this to say of the situation and outlook: "ISeceipts ot sugar molasses are consider ably under last year. The weather, how ever, is very favorable for maturing and ripening the cane. The reports from those planters that have already started show the juice is rich and weighs heavy, but the ton nage of cane per acre is light, and our esti mate is that the crop will be 20 to 23 per cent short of last year. The quantity of kettle molasses made this season will be much less than in former years, as in view of the recent tariff a great many plantations that formerly made open kettle sugars are now manufacturing centrifugals. The indi cations arc. however, that the qualitv of what open kettle molasses is made will be good. Only a few lots have so far arrived and they have commanded full values. The Coffee Trade. Markets in this line have shown addi tional strength in the past few days. The followins from the Boston Herald gives the situation and outlook in cpffee lines: "There is considerable excitement in the coffee market primarily, with generally stronger prices. The New York market is somewhat excited, and advices by telegraph are very strong, though the exchange mar ket was telegraphed Saturday as steady and unchanged. Of course, this was intended to include the improvement of Friday. The Kio market is up 'ic at all the primarv points, and spot conees in New York are up c on all grades up to Xo. 4 and better The daily Rio cable quotes the market firm. The receipts at Kio were 15,000 bags, and at Santos 10,000 bags. The total stock is cabled at 358,000 bags; same time last year, 173,000 bags. The latest reports by cable arc that the November flowering is greatly hurt by heavy rains, and this is being used as a bull argument in the coffee trade. The weekly Kio cable gives the market as strong, with exchange at 1id. Tnc daily average of receipts for the week has been 10,000 bags: shinments to Europe. 44,000 bags; to the United States, 32,0M) bags. The total visi ble supply of Kio coffee is now figured at 407,292 bags: same time last year, 374,200 bag-; same time in 1889, 444,403 bags. The total receipts oil the crop at Kio up to October 22 have been 1,498.000 bags; same time last vear, 920,000 bags; same time in 1S89, 718.000 bags. The market on Maraeaibo coffee is very firm. The last steamer had but 12,000 bags on her, and these were all sold to arrive. This leaves the market very strong, with prices up e to lc for wholesale lots. This strength in the market also pertains to all Central American coffees. Javas are very firm. The Phonograph has arrived with some 12,000 mats of Java coffees, but these coffees were all sold previously to arrive, so that very lew of them come on to the mar ket. The coffees are reported to be turning out fairlv brown. A CORNER IN CORN. Xew Yorkers Seem to Control the October JFutnres, and Force the Price Up heat Opens Strons but Closes Tame and Weak Oats Quiet. CHICAGO The wheat market was rather stronger early, but the closing was tame and much weaker. The news was again bearish, and the feeling in the wheat crowd was consequently not at all bouyant, early trading this morning being confined to local scalpers. Liverpool cables reported 11 steady market for spot wheat, but futures for red American wheat w ere K1 lower. December w heat sold during the first hour from 91Jgc down to 91Vic Later it rose to 94c Reliable Enclisn cable dispatches brought the intelligence that houses were offering wheat lrccly, and the big increase on ocean passace would indicate this. News ot this kind was- unpleasant to the ci-owd, who appealed to be long of wheat, but some btrength followed the announcement that a cargo of No. 2 spring wheat had been worked here for export. This and renewed talk of a dry winter in the winter wheat states helped to put December wheat up to 95JjJc. Tlie opening was about the same as the closing figures of yesterday, and tlio market eased off about VhBiic, then became stronger and prices advanced about lc. then ruled easier, prices declining lJic, closing a lower than yesterday. Corn strong. Tlie shorts for the only new crop futures are manifesting a good deal of uneasiness, which has been increased by the fact that there seems to be a corner in Oc tober in New York, w here it advanced to 72c this morning. During the last hour October corn sold to 5sc and at 1 o'clock was 57Jfc. November com touchedSSIicandatl o'clock was 52Jv)C, May sold to Vie. It eased off 2JJc, wmle the year touched 46c, but weak ened to 45Jc. Oats w ere quiet and steady, notwithstand ing the advance in corn and wheat. Thebig receipts and the falling" off of the export de mand were weakening features. November has sold nt 29K23?8 and May at 3131c. The market continued quiet during tlie last hour, though November touched 29Ja May ruled unchanged. Hog products were lower owing to big re ceipts of live hogs and a decline of 1015c in prices. January pone soul irom ?n ij to$1107. January lard fcold from $630 to $6 22JJ. Pork reacted some later on the sti ength in corn and wheat and good buy ing. January sold from $11 07K to $H 15. and at 1 o'clock was $11 15 bid. January lard sold back to $6 25 and January ribs to $5 77K- The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor rected by John M.

OFFICE AND STKEET NEWS AND GOSSIP It was reported yesterday that the "Wash ington street, Allegheny, residence of Mr. Edward Groetzinger was about changing ownership at a price very close to $20,000. The papers consummating the deal probably passed yesterday evening. It is said Mr. Groetzinger has taken a fancy to the East End and will build on Fifth avenue. Several other transactions of importance one of them involving between 530,000 and ?40,000 were brought to a head yester day, but only one of them can be given to d3y. Major A. J. Pentecost sold two acres at Glenfield.on ,the Ft "Wayne road, tp -Tnlln TVf -MV,rW,mrv for 10.000. The purchaser will improve with a fine resi- ( dence. Reasons for Their Faith. Owners and agents of real estate have good reason for expecting an active market throughout the winter, unless it be particu larly Bevere, and a very lively one next season. The immense crops which are being marketed induce a feeling of confidence. The full effect of the general prosperity will not be felt all at once. It will come slowly, but that its influence will be in evitable and powerful on all lines of trade is a universal conviction. Kcal estate deal ers, as much as others, have confidence in the future. They can see nothing in the way of a full revival of trade. This feeling and belief, based mainly on the rapid growth of the city, are no donbt accountable for the indisposition of prop erty owners to make concessions. They have hard facts on their side, which buyers cannot offset, and the sooner they accept the situation the better it will be for Ihem. They can gain nothing, and may lose much, by delay. Better Prices Llkery. A prominent New York stock broker is reported as saying: "Appearances indicate better prices "likely in January. In the meantime many houses are looking over the yearly balance sheet. Conditions are changing for the better. It requires a great deal of work to set speculation in motion on a large scale, enhance values and rein state confidence that was badly shaken in the street 11 months ago." Business News and Gossip. Cars on the Citizens' Traction extension to Sharpsburg will be running by the mid dle of next mouth. This comes from the Superintendent of the road. In real estate the lot market is active, and some improvement is noted in large proper ties. The stumbling block is the refusal of owners to make concessions. "Work will soon begin on a four-story apartment house on Emerson street, East End. The "Wilkinsburg branch of the Duquesne Traction road is already doing a paying business, which will no doubt increase when running arrangements shall have b?en 1 completed. Baxter, Thompson & Co. are having suc cess in the sale of lots in the Kuch Place plan. People will wake up some morning to find that a populous quarter of the city. At the last call yesterday Citizens' Trac tion 5s were held at 106, with 103 bid. For Allegheny Valley income coupon 7s 23 was bid. For Duquesne Traction 12 was the best bid. Manchester was offered at 38. The sale of the Government property will be the business event of to-day. In the opinion of -good judges it ought to bring at least ?230,000. . The mortgages paid off in Kansas in Sep tember aggregate 52.000,000 more than new ones negotiated during the same month. Chicago reports that East-bound roads a'e alarmed over the continued diversion of the traffic around Chicago, and serious trouble is certain if uniform rates via all routes are not soon established. If the Pittsburg Traction and the Second Avenue Electric Kailway , combine Du quesne will be le't to paddle its own canoe just what it has intended to do all along. Movements in Kealfcy.

Good Prospects of an Easy Market Through out the Winter. Checking and depositing were interesting items in banking operations yesterday. These directly reflect the stato of trade, and as both wero large tho business situation could not have-been otherwise than strong and encouraging. Funds were abundant; notwithstanding a good call lor loans and 1 discounts. Rates were ashade easier, nearly all business being nt 6 per cent. Bank clear ings were $2,253,235 09, and balances $424, 519 49. Au eastern authority remnrits: "Tno pass age of the money market over the critical period of the autumn should be marked by symptoms of a revival in the Investment de mand and by increased inquiry for bonds. Large receipts of gold Irom Europe, the suc cessful inception of the crop movement, the comparative absence of financial pressure and the maintenance throughout ot fair re serves at the eastern cities have produced their effect. The New York bank reserves are increasing, time money Is again offered at 5 per cent or Jss, and the prosoects for an easy money market durins' the lato autumn and winter months are decidedly encouraging." At New York yesterday money on call was easy, ranging from 3 to 4 percent, last loan 3, closing offered at 4. Prime mer cantile paper, 56.

A NEW STREET RAILWAY CONSOLIDA TION SCHE3IE BOBS UP. The Pittsbnrg and Second Avenue Lines Said to Be Meditating Pooling Their Is sues Allegheny Valley Railway and Mo- nongabela Water Get a Bickset. The event of most importance in local stock circles yesterday was- a well authen ticated' report that terms wero being ar ranged for a pooling arrangement between the Pittsburg Traction Company and the Second Avenue Electric Railway Company. The informant, who is on the inside, went so far as to state that one or two confer ences looking to this end had been held in Philadelphia, and that negotiations would soon be resumed in Pittsburg. The fact that both of these roads are enlarging their East End systems which consolidation, or some equivalent arrangement, would ren der Vnntually beneficial, if not indlspensl Die to success, lends probability to the re port. Pittsburg Traction stock was stronger on this talk. In fact, none was offered at any price. Allegheny Valley was depressed on pros pects of a stock assessment of $3 a share, and Monongahela Water on tho proposal of the company to issue bonds to the amount of $100,000 to improve the plant. There were orders for Philadelphia Gas, and it im proved a big traction. It is a hard stock to keop down. Electric was weak and neg lected. Switch and Signal and the miners were steady. Third National Bank ad vanced $1 a' share. Airbrake was a trifle weaker. Sales were 15 shareo of Electric at 1. 3 Airbrake at 104J and 12 at 105.

Cordage the Only Exception, Though Chi cago Gas Is Active Some Selling for the Account of the Dolunct Firm of Evans. & Co. New Yoke, October 7. The stock market was again dull to-day, though there were spurts of activity in a few stocks, which wero paid special attention to by the bears, and the tone was rather weak throughout, though the movements among the active stocks were in but few cases of any import ance. The selling of some stocks by commission houses were found to bo for the account of the defunct firm of Evans & Co., but the bulk of the selling, as usual of late, was by the traders and bears. The news of the day was uniformly favorable. The opening was small fractions higher, helped by a moderate demand from the foreigner, but the hammering began immedi ately and the opening prices wero in most of the active stocks the best of the day. Tho movements, as a rnle, however, wero in significant, and while the contest n St. Paul was waged with vigor on both sides the net result was of little Importance. Reading showed the widest fluctuation among tho leading shares, dropping 1 per cent to 41, but the others were all traded in within a ranee of less than 1 per cent. Chicago Gas was in demand at advancing prices mic me wuukhuss oi mo general list prevented any material . improvement. Cordasc, however, was the strong feature of the day, and is the only stock showing n ma terial gain, but the movements of the Indus trials now have no influence upon the rail road ltst.and there was no disposition shown to follow its lead at any time ot the day. Atch ison was also largely traded in, but failed to move. The shorts covered some-vhat in the lato trading and sliriit fractions were re gained, the market ojfcsing dull but firm. Cordage is up 6. ( RailroadTbouds were fairly active and the business, which amounted to $1,814,000, was widely distributed, tliousn Atchison in comes, Reading lsts and Richmond & West Point Trust 5s wero specially prominent in the dealings. The temper ot the market was rather mixed, but whilo little move ment was to be noted among active bonds and that of an irregular character the in active issues show marked gains in many cases.

At Elgin the prices of creamery butter stand the same this week as last, but mar kets are reported firm at the old prices. Receipts of country butter are light, .but demand corresponds. Oleo seems to have the preference over everything in butter lines under gilt-edged stock. Potatoes are still in abundant supply. There were little, if any, short of 100 carloads on track in the various yards this morning, and the top price was 40c per bushel in carload lots? Grapes are only in fair supply, but prices have found a lower level, as our quotations will disclose. "With none of other fruits, apples are improving in demand, and qual ity of offerings also shows improvement of late. Poultry continues to come in freely, and markets are rather quiot. Strictly fresh eggs are in limited supply, andjSlgns aro that prices will advance at an early day.
