General trade was rather slow last week,
but the local movement was a good average.
Owing to the character of her industries,
Pittsburg is the last to feci a depression.
Her products being staple and essential, are
always in demand. There were no new
business entanglements, and one or two
hampering progress for several months
were straightened out, leaving the situation
materially stronger.
"With exciting elections on hand in sev
eral of the States, the failure of business to
respond to the favorable conditions which
everywhere prevail, thould cause no un
easiness. There is nothing wrong at the
bottom. The outlook has met with no
eclipse. There is an abundance of cheap
monerntall of tho great business centers,
which is being augmented by steady re
ceipts of gold rrom Europe.
Railroads are carrying to tnelr full ca
pacity. They will soon begin to buy iron.
Farmers are strengthening their position by
paying off their mortgages. Seldom have so
many elements of strpngth and encourage
ment been united. They presage a great
business movement at an early day.

H0ME.SECURITIES.
A SMALL VOLUME OF BCSINfiSS, BUT
VALUES BOLD THEIR OWN.
The Big Auction Sale the Only Special Feat
ure of the Week The Market Benefited
by Knowledge of s Demand for Bell
able Goods.
Regular lines of trade yielded satisfactory
results during the week, but speculation was
apathetio on 'Change. It was one of the
dullest weeks of the year, sales on call fall
ing below 600 shares. Outside transactions
mede some progress, but did not come up to
expectations.
Closing prices of the active stocks, as com
pared with those of the previous Saturday,
show the following changes: Third National
Bank gained 5 Chartiers Gas lA, Philadel
phia Gas H, Wheeling Gas 1, Pittsburg Trac
tion 1, and Switch and Signal Central
Traction lost J4, Pleasant Valley , and Lus
ter . Theie were a lew weak spots In the
rest of the list, but, on the whole it was
stendy.
The feature of the week was the auction
sale on Thursday afternoou. It absorbed
the bulk of the outstanding orders, and in
many cases raised the standard of values.
By demonstrating the existence of a good
demand for bonds and other good invest
ment securities the sale was a positlye bene
fit to the trade.
Brokers are still hopeful of a revival, and
not without good reason. The large volume
ol money to go into the hands of the farm
ers will be used to discharge a large amount
of indebtedness to Tastern creditors, and,
with funds accumulating at the financial
cente.s, there will be fora longtime to come
a disposition to invest In old and new securi
ties rather than to work into new enter
prises. Such a disposition will direct tunds
very freely into stock market channels.
Sales yesterday were ten shares of Phlla
deli hia Gas at 11, and two shares of Alle
aheny Valley Railroad at 2. Final bids and

WALL STREET'S KEVIEW.
THE DULLEST DAY IN THE WEEK,
EXCEPT IN THREE STOCKS.
A. Flan of BeUef for the Richmond and
West Point Continued Drives In Coal
Shares, Epeclally Lackawanna and
Beading Chicago Ghs Goes Up.
New York, Oct. 31. The stock market was,
aside from the trading in three stocks, the
dullest of the week and even more feature
less thap usual of late. Notwithstanding
the publication of a plan for the financial
relief of the Richmond and West Point no
movement was excited in securities and tho
strength and activity in the Vanderbilts
and Industrials seemed to have entire dis
appeared. in their place, however, remained tho
weakness in the Coal stocks, and the further
movement In Chicago Gas toward hluher
prices, the best figures of ,tho week being
rescued in this stock to-day. It, with Lack
awanna and Reading, supplied all the ani
mation there was in the market to-day, and
the features, aside from a sharp upward
movement in Phconix Mining; but the latter,
as usual of late, had no inflnenco upon the
rest of the market.belnga mining stock, and
one of the unlisted ones at that.
Tho opening was dull and tame, though
slightly higher than last evening's figures,
and while thero was some demand from
London and Boston, the former buvins St.
Paul, Reading and Union Pacific, and the
latter Atchison, tho traders continued to
hammer the Coal stocks to some effect.
Lackawanna dropped 1, after opening up
, but Reading retired ooly a fraction, and
tho efforts to cover later in the day caused
the recovery of most of tliee losses.
Chicago Gas rose steadily from 55 to 57,
closing at the latter price.
No other feature of any kind marked the
dealings, the general list being simply dull
and stagnant, and the market finally closed
dull and steady at lnsigniiicant changes
from first prices. Chicago Gas showed a
change of 2 per cent, but the only important
loss was In Tennesse Coal, which opened
down 1 per cent and shaded off further K
per cent.
Rallro:id bonds were more active com
paratively than stocks and displayed a more
decided tone, most of the issues traded in
scoring gains of more or less importance,
though Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf
West railed to move. Total bales, $745,OCO.

Tho Railway Situation.
John M. Oakley & Co. received the follow
ing: "There is one fact patent to all students
of railway statistics, namely, the constantly
crowing volume of traffic. So far this has
been accompanied by a constantly diminish
in.nf..hn ,. , i n ,.,(..
... ...... ,,. .-.. t - .. ..U...HU...UU.
There is more reason to expect that the low-
afr nnacthlr, rain frnrifTi will Knrrn lio rAn.lm
than that the ratio of growth of traffic will
oe reactieu or stopped, tv nen tne tenuency
of rates to fall is arrested the growth of
traffic continuing the railways will enjoy a
new era of prosperity. It is not unreasona
ble to suppose that wo are approaching the
period when competition and legislative
interference will have done their worst;
then railway securities will have become a
more secure and profitable form of invest
ment. ,'The bull card in the market was Chicago
Gas, though It is not a trump to bo partlcu.
larlv proud of. It rose two points. There
was an assault on the Coalers, but they did
not yield any furtner,tban short sales mtsht
be expected to make them yield, and that
was fractions.
"The bank statement was fullv as favora
ble as expected. While the loss in reserve
was a petty $32 000, the banks a'tually
gained $400,000 in net specie. Richmond
affairs are tne subject of a good deal or gos
sip. Mr. Inman, its President, is a man of
powers and resource, and It will not do to
reckon on his deserting tho property. The
probability is that the market will be higher
and more active Wednesday at advancing
prices."
A Waiting Market.
Henry Clews & Co. say: "Still we have on
Wall street the stagnant and resbly-oseilat-ing
condition of speculative business that
has prevailed for six weeks past. The inter
est In the stock market is almost entirely
confined to the "room traders;" the outside
public are absent or listlessly waiting.
There is one fact.however, that deserves no
tice, viz., that the constant attacks of tho
bears tall to produce any general or impor
tant yielding in prices.
"This suggests that there is confidence
enough to induce persistence in holding;
and probably also means that margins are in
good shape, which is the more probable
from the fact that those now In the market
have made handsome profits out of the ante
cedent rise. These considerations make it
probable that, if the bears are intent upon
persisting in their effons to break prioes,
they may find it to be a long undertaking
and one that will need to be kept up until
holders are willing to sell from sheer weari
ness of waiting. These are among the con
siderations that make the leaders of specu
lation willing to defer buying until we r.ro
nearer to the maturer effects of our large
crops."

Considerable Business Turned Out, but the
R nge of Prices Lower.
Considerable business was tranacted,olear
ancesTorthe six days aggregating 243,000
barrels, but the market was weak and fluc
tuations confined to small Tractions. The
highest point touched was G0c and the low
est 58c. The decline fur the week was
nearly a cent.
The great increase in the production of

TH2 MOHETAEY SITUATIOH.
Business of the Pittsburg Clearlxuc Houm
for the Month.
Clearing House operations for the month
Just ended, while away below those of last
year, run almost even with those of US,
which at the time weTe considered extra
ordinary. Last year's business was so large
as to erect a false standard and caused peo
ple to expect the ImDosslblc.
Business then was excited and much of it
was "wind," as subsequent events demon
strated. No w it is, so far as can be seen and
Judged, on a sound basis, backed by hard
cash. The country Is really more prosper
ous to-day than ever before in Its nistory.
There Is less speculation and more legiti
mate trade. Pittsburg merchants and manu
facturers have nothing to complain of. They
have plenty of bu-iness and are taking no
ri.ks. It can be asserted in advance that
1891 will not end in disaster as did 1800.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
A Light Trade and Narrow Fluctuations in
Wheat More Rumors of Russian Pro
hibition of Exports Corn Opens Quit
'Weak and Continues Unsettled.
CHICAGO Only light trading within a
small range of prices characterized the
market to-day, but the feeling was stronger,
and prices ruled slightly higher than the
closing of yesterday. The influences were
a little more favorable to holders. There
was less disposition to sell, and some of the
shorts were covering. Foreigners were re
ported as buyers, and there seemed to be
a little more importance attached to the
news from abroad. English cables were
higher aud continental cables weaker. The
question of Russia prohibiting the exports
or grain is evidently having some effect, ad
vices to-day again clalmluir a possibility of
such an order going Into effect. Reports of
dry weather continue to be received, and a
message from a party In Central Illinois
salTl that early sown wheat is looking bad,
and in some cases there is talk ot plowing
up and replanting. ,
The opening was JJic higher, eased of
Ljc and theu advanced Jicgyjjc; ruled easy
.nd closed about llc uigher than yester
day. Corn was unsettled, the early feeling
being weak on freer receipts and liberal
selling. November went from 51sCc to SOJJc,
reacted to 51e, nnd at 13 o'clock was Sljjjc.
October was higher, a lew shorts making'
efforts to cover. Early sales were at 54Jc;
sold to 53c. then up to 56c, nnd at noon was
