BUSINESS FEATUKES.
Some Symptoms of a Partial Corner
of the Supply of Cheese.
HOGS AND THE POKE PRODUCTS.
The Brazilian Troubles Dave an Effect on
the Coffee Market.
EXTEAT OP CALIFORNIA'S FRUI1' CROr
It will K seen by reference to the home
market column tat cheese is on the up
ward move. One of our leading dealers
has been taking in the "Western reserve the
pact few days with a view to securing snp
plies of Ohio cheese. He reports an un
usual scarcity ot stock in the hands of
chceic makers in that section. It seems
that representatives of Chicago firms have
covered the ground thrcush Ohio cheese
dotn to an extent beyond a'Jj nreviou3 sea
son, andlhat nearly all the products in this
line have been bought far pliead.
Advices from TJtica also short- an unusual
hortnjf pfS'cw York cheese and all signs
point to an advance. At our quotations
there is room for no pnfit 10 the Pittsbur?
jobber, as prices a; TJtica are about the
same as here.
Hots nnd Ho; Prudncts.
Receipts of hogs at Chicago last week
were 45,000 head more than for the cor
responding -aeek lat year. This week
pr-tni-es to show an increase as great as
last tcsIc The Kicicasr is not diffi
cult to 'inderstanJ. The immense corn crop
and low prices as compared with last year's
prices explain the ntuation. Corn "is so
low in the "West ttat it pavs to pnt it into
pork and lard. It is evident that multi
tudes have acted in this faith and the result
is een in the immense receipts of hogs at
live stock centers. There has been ss time
inthehistorv of the trade vt hen receipts
were so.larce at tit Liberty yards as they
were one or two'lavs last w-ek, and this
week shows no decline in receipt. Hog
products are very naturally on the decline
under the influence of these heavy receipts
of hogs.
Tricks or Trade.
The great scarcity and high price of fresh
eggs lias called out the ingenuity of dealers,
whose conscientious scruples are not per
mitted to stand in the way of profits.
Among the tricks of trade is the purchase
of cold storage stock and shipment of same
to some point down the Ohio river, to be
returned as fresh laid eggs. The freight
bills can bi paid and Si 00 profit on a case
of eggs will ensue to the dealer who is pre
pared lo resort to this practice. Alas! for
the wcikncss of human 'lature that the love
of money should bring men to resort to
such tricks of trade.
Fresh eggs are scarcely to be had at this
date for love or money, ind yet large quan
tities of cold storage stock" are selling as
fresh. Fresh laid eggs are worth 28 to 30c
per dozen in job lots. The cold storage
stock going out as fresh is not worth above
22 to 25e per doyen.
The Coffee Sltmtion.
Kew York coffee markets have been cv
citcd the pst vicck, and tendency of prices
has been upward At Bio, however, mar
kets have been quiet, a fact due to the heavy
crop, and the desire of the producers to
turn their product into money.
'The average daily receipts of coffee at Rio
last week were t),r00 bae; shipments to
Europe, 40,000 bags: to the United States,
60,000 bags.
The total visible supply of coffee in this
country and afloat is now "set down at 490,
77!) bags: same time last vcar, 343,046 bags:
same time in 18X9, 435.PG2 bags. The total
receipts on the crop, to November 19, were
1,783,000 baes; same time a rear ago. 1,137,
000 bags; same time in 1889, 832,000 bags.
The Olro Outlook.
"It is within bounds to say that fully two
carloads of oleomargarine are received here
daily. A.carload is equivalent to 20,000
lb, "and hence close to 250,000 lbs of olco
are sold in this, market every week. A sin
gle firm handles three carloads per week.
The large receipts and sales of olco will ac
count for the great dullness of country but
ter. Butter that is not first-class is not
wanted. The overate consumer apparently
prefers the imitation. Very little first
class country butter comes to our market of
late, and butterine of high grade has the
lead.
California Trulls.
The Overland MontUy ot San Francisco
has this to say of the canned fruit industry:
"The wheat crop of Calif ornii in 1890 was
valued at 519,587,826, the fruit crop at S19,
327,180. which sufficiently bhows the extent
of the fruit raisin; industry. Since 18G0
there have grown up about San Francisco
50 or more tremendous canning establish
ments, one of whio.i alone can put 20,000
cans a dav, and has a storing capacity of
20.000,ona" The increased tariff ou'tin
plate, says the writer, has been offset by the
reduction in the price of sngar, so that the
fruit canning industry is no better and no
worse off under the operations of the Mc
Kinley tariff.
ETJINED CITIES IK ARIZONA.
Prospectors Alight Upon Xlare Archeologi
cal Discoveries There.
Prescott, Art., Nov. 24. Parties from
down the Gila Valley v, ho have been pros
pecting bring hack sensational reports of
the finding of an immense ruin, once a city
of the Aztecs, or whatever people inhabited
this country. The city, as shown by the
ruins, Is miles in circumference, and many
of the walls are still standing to the height
of 12 and 15 feet. The city lay in the val
ley where the land was perfectly level, and
could be irrigated, but in the center is their
fort or stronghold overlooking the'valley
and about 600 feet in height The mound
on which the fort is built was first built of
dirt 200 feet in height and covering about
five acres of land. The edge is walled up
with boulders from the river, laid in a kind
of cement, now Jiard as the stones them
selves. On the top of this is another wall
located in the center and covering abont
two acres.
The remainder of the surface of the lower
mound has been used as a garden, and soil
has been carried up from the Talley. On
the second tier has been built another, cov
ering abont one acre, and on this was the
fort of stone containing the houses of the
warriors and the tools for cultivating the
lower mesas. On the edge of each of the
mesas the walls came up more than three
feet above the surface, and inside of these
defenses arp thousands of boulders weighing
from one to ten pounds, which were doubt
less for the purpose of hurling down on an
attacking foe. Thousands" of flint arrow
heads are lying on and around the base of
this fortification, showing that it must have
been besieged a long time before it was cap
tured. In the upper fort are a hugh number
of skulls and other bones, belonging to the
human body, and that part was undoubtedlv
the one in which the final struggle took
place. Pottery of all kinds, some broken
and some entire, is lving within its limits,
and water was doubtless taken up in these
vessels.
Another Case of No Jurisdiction.
Adjutant Beese recently requested that a '
court of inquiry be appointed to inquire
into charges of unsoldierly conduct made
against him while he was ,on duty at Camp
Itensington. A lengthy opinion from the
Judge Advocate General of the State, was
yesterday transmitted from the Adjutant
General's office in which it is advised that
the case be referred to General Snowden,
the Division Commander. The Adjutant
General, it is alleged, had no jurisdiction.

Business In Wheat and Oats.
CHICAGO Wheat was. dull and lower.
Tho light trade ws attributed to the de
moralized condition ot the wires to the
East, which cut off both news and orders.
Cables were lowor. There was an Increase
of 2,003,053 bushels on ocean passage, and
the local sentiment was bearish. December
which closed yesterday at 9iJHc, opened this
morning at 93?f,9SJ;c and sold steadily off
without material reaction to 92c May at
tho same timo receded to 99Jgc. There was
a slight reaction, but the close was dull and
weak at close to tho bottom figures.
The corn nit was the center of Interest
during the day, as it was yesterday, and to
the 4Jc advnnco scored by the November
fnu-io then a further appreciation of "o
was added to-day It nil grew out of tho
anxiety of the shorts In that month, with
settling day approachinjr. There are very
small available stocks in store here, and
very littlo liberal receipts of contract grade.
The shorts mado frantic- efforts to buy, but
the actual grain was in strong hands, and
tho holders wete disinclined to sell. The re
sult Has inevitable. November, which closed
yotorday at 62Xc. was steadily bid up until
it touched 70c, n ithout any business to speak
of passing. Then there was a reaction to 6
per cent, but another to 6 per cent at the
closo. Tho other futures sympathized with
November to a minor degioo during the
early trading, but later, when tho market
became so wild, broke away, reacted and
closed somewhat lower than yosterdiv.
Oats sympathized with the deferred
futures in corn and closed lower.
Provisions were stronger and advanced
early because the receipts of hogs were be
low the estimates. Later, however, there
was a reaction, and the clce was at imma
terial change irom yesterday's last figures.

TRADE OF THE CITY.
A Moderate Movement With Nearly
Everything in Good Shape.
WOBK OP THE LOCAL AECHITKCTS.
Onllines of One of the Transit Schemes
Sensed for the West End.
SALE OP A STEERETT TOWNSHIP FAEH
"W. H. Devore, the well-known under
taker, has sold 19 acres, with improvements,
situated just back of "Wilkinsburg, in Ster
rett township; to Henry Hare, for 117,119.
This is one of the best garden farms in that
vicinity.
The West End Happy.
Of the various rapid transit projects on
foot in the "West End, the one of which Mr.'
Friend is the chief promotor seems to be in
most favor, and the probabilities are that it
will eventually go through. The route is
as follows: It will connect wjth the "West
End Passecger Railway at Steuben street,
thence over the hill through the "Woods'
propcrtv to the ridge above Ingram, thence
along Ingram avenue to Prospect avenue,
thence along the township road to Crafton.
This is as far as the route has been sur
veyed, but it is proposed to extend the road
considerably further. Mr. Von Bonnhorst,
who is identified with the enterprise, went
over the route a tew days ago, and after
ward spoke of it as the best that could have
been selected.
Work of the Architects.
Local architects have considerable new
work on hand, but it is not urgent, as very
little of it will be utilized before next spring.
Among the plans in preparation are those
for three apartment houses, two in' Pitts
burg and one in Allegheny, two parochial
schools, two public schools, several churches
and a number of hieh-class stone dwellings.
These structures will be commenced as early
in the new year as possible. Architects
take a favorable view of the outlook for
building next season. Considerable work
that was put off this year by reason of the
strike will be put through, and they expect
the usual amount of new business. The
only drawback is the possibility of a re
newal of the labor trouble.
Not a Profitable Investment.
The Builders and Traders' Exchange, of
Chicago, has declared against skyscrapers.
It says: "If the building of skyscrapers
becomes general the congestion of travel
would be terrible to contemplate. "What
are the conditions to-day of some of the
streets? It is impossible to walk without
jostling some one as you travel along, and
the street cars are inadequate to properly
accommodate the people; with twice or
three times their numbei even the practice
of the prison lockstep would be useless in
properly dispersing the crowd. Think of
massing 700 to 1,000 people at the morning,
noon and quitting hours on a sidewalk 50x
14 already overcrowded by passing pedes
trians, and fancy an alarm of fire, a run
away team or any exciting incident; the
sufferings of that surging mass ot human
bodies would be terrible to endure, and the
city's death rate would soon be increased to
hef general disadvantage. "When the effects
of the congested ,eoudition of streetc the
weakness of foundations, danger of fire, and
a greatly-increasing death rate are con
sidered, which will be inevitable when
high buildings become general, it is very
doubtful if thev are a profitable invest
ment; history will be but repeating itself
in its Tower of Babel."
An Old Subject Kevlved.
"Whether the railroad station at "Wilkins
burg will be removed to Penn avenue or al
lowed to remain where it is, is an open
question. This subject has been discussed
for several years and is still unsettled. The
latest came from a prominent railroad man
yesterday. He said: "From what I have
seen and heard I believe the station will be
removed. A larger station is needed, and
also a more capacious freighthouse. The
railroad owns plenty of ground below Penn
avenue for both, on the same side of the
track. This would be a great convenience.
A bridge could be easily thrown across the
road at this point. Crossing on grade has
become dangerous. The location is central
Besides, these improvements would be
a benefit to a part of the borough which
needs beantifying and building up more
than any other."
The Building Record.
Four permits were taken out yesterday
for 16 improvements, all being estimated to
cost 17,600. The list follows: B, & "W.
Vogelson, two frame two-story dwellings,
on Conk in street, Thirteenth ward. Cost,
S2.600. E. Cornelius, five frame two-story
dwellings, on Butler street, Eighteenth
ward. Cost, 54,500. Henry A. Davis, five

A LITTLE BPDBT OP ACTIVITY AND
VALUES RATHER STRONGER.
No Special Features Developed Nearly
All Price Changes Favor the Ball Side
Erratic Movements of Alligheny Val
leyTractions and Gassers Steady.
There was considerable activity on
'Change yesterday. This was rather unex
pected, as outside markets were dull.
The first call was a fisfit. Before call 20
shares of Luster were sold at l. After
call 100 Luster changed hands at UK- "
Philadelphia Gas at 1 and 390 Allegheny
Valley Railroad at 9c, The only sale at the
second call was that of 100 shares of Wheel
ing at 22. At tho third call 100 shares of Du
quesne Traction went at 16J, and 5 Central
Traction at 20.
Allegheny Valley, after selling at 9c, was
boomed at the last call to 18, on the impres
sion that it was worth that much, if any
thing, bnt the bids were for small lots, and,
as there wore no sales, they possessed no
special significance. Some asserted there
were oiders for the stock and that the ad
vance was legitimate.
Philadelphia Gas found sufficient support
to advance It a fraction. The tractions
about held their ground. Luster moved up
a peg at the second call, but fell back to the
opening. Switch and Signal placed a big
fraction to its credit and held the improve
ment. Manufacturers' Gas was bid up to
23K, without bringing any of it out. "Bids

ONLY COALERS ACTIVE.
OTHERWISE THE SHARE MARKET IS
WELL FLATTENED OCT
By the Interruption of Telegraphic Com
munication The Grangers Especially
Inactive The Closing Prices the Beat
of a Very Dull Day Bonds Quiet.
New York, Nov. 24.- There was a contin
uation of the lack of telegraphic communi
cation with the outslda world to-day, espe
cially with the West, and the stock market
showed the effect of this in diminished deal
ings and practical stagnation. Had It not
been for the coal shares the trading would
have been utterly devoid of feature.
The tone of the market, however, was gen
erally firm within'narrow limits. There was
throughout the day a very urgent demand
for Blithe Coalers In the loan crowd, ard
Lackawanna felt flat all day long, with a few
transactions at 1:64 premium for use. When
the announcement was made that the sales
agents had agreed to restrict the output for
next month there.was an increased'demand
for all the Coalers; and on large transactions
they all advanced steadily and mpidlv.
Lackawanna rose to 133. a net gain of 2
per cent since last evening, oloslng at the
best figures, while Delaware and Hudson
arose "M to 125, but yielded . Jersey Cen
tral sold at 114, against 112 nt the last sale,
and Reading fell in lino with a gain of nearly
2 per cent,
Among the other stocks which displayed
some strength were Erie, Burlington.Wheel
lng nnd Lake Erie preferred, Omaha and
Minneapolis nnd St. Louis preferred. The
Grangers, as a rule, were unusually dull,
owing to the interruption of communication
with Chicazo, the shrinkage on business
being especially notablo in St. Paul, as a
rule, and slight fluctuations in those shares
occurred. New York, Susquehanna and
Western were especially strong, rising 1)5
per cent in late trading.
The market closed dull but firm, generally
at the best prices, which, however, were in
bnt few cases more than slight fractions bet
ter than last nlcht's prices. Lackawanna
shows a gain of 1i; Delaware and Hudson,
x Jersey Central, 2, and Reading, 1
Railroad bonds were still quiet, out the
events in the coal trade stimulated great
activity in the Reading first Incomes, and
those bonds were the only active issue of
the day. Total sales, $1,278,000. The market
gnthered strength as the day wore along.and
some'material gains were made in th,e late
trading.
The total sale of stocks to-day were 193,
923 shares, including Atchison, 4,465; Chicago
Gas, 5,525; Delaware, Lackawannu and West
ern4S,190; Delaware) and Hudson, 3,976; Erie,
15,370; Reading. 33,170; St. Paul, 5,080; St. Paul

A Moderate Movemont, With Some
Im-
provementin the Conditions.
Bankers reported a moderate demand for
money yesterday, but some improvement in
depositing. Other routine lines were on a
fair average. There was no scarcity of loan
able funds, which are so abundant as to
make a tight market out of the question this
year.
Yearly settlements are drawing nigh. This
Is always a period of apprehension, but it is
believed that so mucli of the dead wood has
been cleared away that nothing serious will
transpire. Coal men were busy. The heavy
shipments will remove considerable press
ui 6- from labor circles.
The holiday trade has set in, and promises
to eqnal in volume that of any previous
year. It may be larger. Bank clearings
were $2,433,832 63, and balances $337,555 11.
At New York yesterday monoy on call was
easy, ranging from 3 to 4 per cent. Last
loan, 3: closed offered at 2. Prime mercan
tile paper at 56C Sterling exchange quiet,
but firm at $4 51for 60-day bills, and $181

Country Produce "(Jobbing Prices)
At the Monday meeting of the Elgin Butter
Board last week's prices were reaffirmed.
Here markets are quiet at 32c per pound as
top. Country hotter is very slow, the
average consumer preferring oleo to any
thing under choice in butter lines. Cheese
is very firm, and all signs point to another
advance at an early day. Fresh laid eggs
are practically out of the market,' but large
quantities of storage eggs are made to do
duty as fresh laid. "Where ignorance is
bliss it were folly to be wise. Poultry sup
ply is not excessive, bnt there is little ap
prehension of a scarcity of Thanksgiving,
turkey. On the other hand.there are no fears
of a glut, and present prices are likely to be
well maintained. Florida oranges are dull
and weak at prices quoted. Choice bananas
are in good request "" and readily bring out
side prices. Keceipts of the latter havo
fallen ofToriate. the total for the week past
beinc not above ten carloads.
