A Tear of Plenty to Farmers, Bat They Claim That THE MONEY PROFITS ARE SMALL. Hoe Products Weak. "With a Tendency Toward Lower Prices. COFFEES PROMISE TO -GO UP HIGHER OFFICK OF PlTTSBCRQ DISPATCH, Tuesday. Bee. 13. ( Last year was one of short crops to the farmers of this country, and yet the yield brought more money to the farmer than the previous year when there was a bounti ful harvest The year 1890 was a year of scarcity, but producers of farm and garden products, with lighter work had larger re ceipts of money. The corn crop last season was one-third less than the previous season, but prices advanced from 28c to flic per bushel, and the money value of receipts wag increased 5100000,000. Oats also declined one-third in volume, hut prices rose from 2.1c to 42c per bushej, and farmers" receipts increased f 50. 000,000, notwithstanding light crop. The yield of wheat last season was only 20 per cent below that of the previous season, and prices advanced from 70c to 84c per bushel. Receipts of moncv were about the same for both years, namely, 6340,000,000. This year's yield is even greater than that of two years ago, and yet prices are little different from those of last year. A summary published in the Xew York Evening Pott furnishes some interesting sta tistics indicating that the three principal cereals will be 5 cents per bushel higher this year than last, and that farmers' re ceipts will, as a result, be increased from 51,300,000,000 to S1,700,00,CO. Upon the mot moderate estimate, our fanners will receive for these three crops 5300,000,000 more than last year,-and 5o00,000,000 more than in 1SS9. It is the Northwest which chiefly profits by this increase, the two States of Kansas and Iowa receiving one fourth of the whole; the Southern States do not share at all in the train. These are chiefly dependent upon the cotton crop, and this jear the yield is a little less than usual and the prices also less. The Coffee Markets. The statistical reports point to an eleva tion in prices. Our home markets are very firm, and, while there has been no advance in prices, all signs point to higher prices. Following is the outlook as viewed from a Boston standpoint: The tone of the Rio and and Santos coffeo markets is considered firmer. Unexpectedlv at thi season, tho world's visible supply has been found to have decreased during tho past month, when usually it shows an in ciease. Again, it is estimated that fully or.e-lialf of tho Santos crop of coffees has been marketed, and neaily one-half of the Rio crop, though the crop year has not yet half expired. Hence it orild seem that, in spite of the big crop, a market is ocinjr found for all of the cottee, and without the decline that was generally expected to have begun before the late autuin months. There is no orld's surul us of coffee, and there has been mine for a couple of years. Uecent reports indicate that statistically the coffee maiket Vas made some- gain in lirmuo. Saturday's 'er York market !-hoedagain or some 10 points from the opening. The Rio daily cable gave receipts Ht llioofonlyS 000 bags for tho dav, thoush with receipts at Santos of 18,000 bags The total stock at Itio is now 254,000 hags, against 102.000 bags for the same time lust year. Tne maiket is ciblcddnll, with exchange at lid. The weekly Mo cable gives tho dally average receipts at Itio for the week at 12 500 U:i;r:; shipments to EuroDe, 22,000 bags; to the United states 20.000 bags. The New York total vi-i'ule supply of coffee is now figured at 461.336 bags: same liinea jearao.CCl.ltO bags; same time in J'-n. 4i:,C3t ba-rs. Tho total receipts of coffee at Iiio on the crop, up to December 11, have been 2 021,000 uas; ame time lnt j ear, 1,273,000 bags; same time in 1SS9, 937.000 bags. In llnsiness Linen. In the line of hog products general drift of markets is toward a lower level. The reasons for this are obvious. Receipts of hogs are immense at all live stock centers. Last week there were received at AVesterj centers 105,000 more than were received for the corresponding week of last year. Re ceipts tor one day in the last week of No vember at Chicago were fi",000 head, the largest for any one day in the entire history of the yards. Provisions are not moving as freely as they were a week or two ago, the eflect of poultry and game consumption being very marked at this time. Until the holiday season is over expectations" of pork packers will not be sreat. The decline in bacon and shoulders noted in Monday's Dispatch is fully justified by events, and all sigus point to a reduction in lard. LIVE STOCK MARKETS.

CHICAGO Wheat was quite weak duiing a considerable portion of the day, but the close was at only a moderate loss as com pared with yesterday's last quotations. In the early trading most of the influence -was on the bear side. Cables were lower, do mestic markets tended downward and tho local feeling was heavy. May wheat wont off about le. The bulls had- some things in their favor, and especially the decrease of 8i",000 bnsli elsin the amount on passage and tho gloomy reports concerning the condition of wheat in Kansas and Illinois, but it did not help much, and -was entirely overshadowed by the weak factors. The demand was slug gish, no one seemingly having the courasc to buy except the shorts, ho put out Iioeral lines soma days ago, and opened on tho break to secure profits. There w as a stop in the downward course however, when the export clearances of nearly 1,000,000 bushels at New York was made known, and a Tally or Jc followed.

MAKCII OP SOUTHSIDE DEVELOPMENT There seems to be a large clement of truth in the report of the sale of the Lockhart property on Xegley avenue, Nineteenth ward three acres for 550,000. C. H. Love and Major Glover had intimation of the deal on Slonda'. The name of the pur chaser has not been authoritatively di vulged. Attorney J. JtfcF. Carpenter signed the agreement. It is understood that he represented 3Ir. C. W. Hubbard, of Hub bard, Bake well & Co. Sonth-ldo Development. Soulhsiders entertain high hopes of the introduction of rapid transit into the hill district at an early date "With adequate transportation facilities, such as the East End enjoys, they claim, and rightly; too, that Mount "Washington and Duquesne Heights, and even the broad stretches be yond, would soon be covered with comforta ble homes. The necessity for rapid transit on that side of the river is so apparent and pressing that, now that it has become fixed in the minds of the people, there is every assurance that some of the many schemes which have been projected will he consum mated without unnecessary loss of time. Will Use Trailers. The business of the Central Traction road has increased so much that the management has decided to put on a number of trailers, six of which have been ordered. This is another straw showing that the street rail ways of Pittsburg have not only increased the'ir earnings, but are putting themselves in a position to do still better. Supplying a Want. The demand for small houses is being answered with great liberality, but the sup ply continues inadequate. Major A. J. Pentecost is putting the finishing touches to the last of 18 erected by him this season at Valleyview, on the Chartiers Itailway. Others have done almost as well. Building outlook for next year is good in this local ity. The expectation is that 30 or more houses will be commenced early in the spring. Valleyview is being settled very fast, which is due in large part to the sys tem in vogue anion,r owners of selling houses and lots on the installment plan. Plate Glass Protection. There are seven plate glass insurance companies doing business in Pittsburg. They carry policies on about 2,800 store fronts, premiums on which aggregate up ward of 528,000. Of the total policies the Metropolitan has 600. Doors and windows of a large number of residences are also in sured. Some Tall Buildings. Pittsburg has no sky-scrapers, but will probably have a near approach to one next year at Fifth avenue and Grant. As con templated, it will be 12 stories high. Bos ton has a number, but they do not compare in point of height with Chicago's tall office buildings. The Fiske building in Boston is 214 feet in height, the Ames building is just 189 feet high, the Hew York Life building 200 feet, the Bell Telephone building 123 feet, and the Farlow building 120 feet. The Masonic Temple in Chicago is 254 feet high, the Ashland block will be 215 feet, the Unity is 210, the Monadnock is 215, while the Chicago Title and Trust building is the same height as the Unity. Almost Ready to Close. Probabilities are that three real estate dickers, aggregating 5175,000, will be closed this week. One is a business and the others East End residence properties. Another transaction, one of the largest for years, is hanging fire on 2y per cent of the cost price. The demand tor high-class proper tics is better than it was a year ago. Business News and Gossip. It is thought by most persons who have spoken on the subject that Mr. Rowand's bid for the Government's Pennavenue prop erty will he accepted. Baltensperger & Williams have sold 20 lots in the Weinman plan, Mt. Washington, with in a week. Street improvement is heing prosecuted with almost as much vigor as dnring the summer Pittsburgers are determined to keep out of the mud. North Homewood, in the vicinity of tho driving ptrk, promises to be the scene of extensive building operations next season. Several capitalists are talking of 10 to 20 houses each. At the last call yesterday 94 was bid for Duquesne Traction bonds. Electric scrip was offered at 90. Charters were issued at Harrisburg yester day to the Eighth United Stntes Excelsior Bn'ildlng Association, of Pittsburg. caDital $500,000, and to the Clifton Building and Loan Association, Allegheny, capital $1,000,000. The most important ot three building per mits issued yesterday was for three dwell ings to cost $2,700. The others aggregated $3,400. Friends of Duquesne Traction are talking of still higher prices lor the stock. According to the compilation of Robert J. Stonev. Jr., Pittsburg national banks hold $1,251,487 in excess of the 25 per cent as re quired by law, or 5S.53 per cent of net de posits. Work on two additional office buildings will begin as early as possible next spring. One of them will be on Wood street. The high prices for farm products can only result in highly stimulating the general range of industries. Tne strength of the stock market fulfills the expectations of those who have been predicting higher prices.

It begins to look as if the re vival had come to stay. The broadening tendency of the dealing is an encouraging omen. There was a good display of figures in the bank and insurance sections of the list, but they were not on a satisfactory basis, and nothing was done. The unlisted tractions maintained their ascendancy, Dnqucsne losing none of its prominonco. Of the old members of this group. Central developed additional strength. Tho others were steady.

THE New York Central Also Active and Strong The Share Market Barren of Other Fea tures A Northwestern Railroad Deal Bonds Comparatively More Active. New York, Dec. 15. The stock market to day was still only moderately active, and, for the amount of business done, exhibited less feature than for any day for some time. The strength, however, remained unim paired throughout the session, and while the advances aie not marked, except in one or two cases, tiiey are general ana uniiorm. The Vanderbilts. the Grangers and the spe cialties monopolized the marked move ments, while the general lift moved slowly and quietly throughout the day. The feature of the transactions was the continued buying for investment and tho activity and strength in New York Central. The expectation has become quito geneial that 6 per cent will be declared on tho stock for the year The final deal hot ween the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western and the Northwestern eaused the selling of the latter to some extent, but without making anv impression on the price, while the for mer advanced another 1JJ percent on the actual transactions. There t as large buy ing of Rock Island, but the realizing sales weie sufficient to prevent its getting much above 87, while the trading in 'other Gran gers was very moderate and matked by no feature of interest.

The buying was largely for the long account, and while the traders wore inclined to take profits on the advances the demand was most urgent and the advance rapid, especially during the. loienoon. The close was qnlot, but firm to strong at or about the highest prices of the day. Al most all the active stocks are iractionally higher, but Cbicairo Gas is up Vi per cent, and Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western preferied, l'i- The total sales of stocks to-day were 232,021 shares, includinz: Atchison, 11,710; Canada Southern, 6,700; Chicago Gas, 31,090: Krie, 15, 1S5; Louisville and Nashville, 4.G05; Missouri Pacific. 5.800: Northwestern, 5,029; New York Central, 4.4S0; Northern Pacific preferred, 12,900; Itichmoud and West Point, 9,090; St. Paul, ,10.300: Union Pacific, 7,500. Kailroad bonds wei e comparatively mote animated than stocks, and the dealings showed the usual wide distribution without any special prominence in any one issue outside of the Chicago and Erie incomes, which contributed $249,000 to the day's total business of $2,000,090. The bonds mentioned wero especially strong and scored a net Rain for the day of 2' per cent, closing at 47c, the highest price they have attained.

Take an hour of exercise to every pound of food. Wo are not nourished by what we eat, hut by what we digest. Dyspepsia is a poor pedestrian. Walk at the rate of four miles an hour and-you will soon leave it behind. If your stomach is out of order, your di gestion weak, or yon feel chills' at any time, bear in mind that you need a stimulant. Do not be deceived in regard to stimulants; there are many, but there is onjy one known to the world to-day, which combines pure medicinal qualities, with the best efficiency. That is Dufiy's Pure Malt Whiskey. You can well afford to remember this care fully and act upon it constantly, as it may mean to you, as it has meant ,to so rainy others, health, happiness, strength and a. lon lease of life. Remember always that when any dealer tries to sell yon something in the place of what you call for, he has an interested, mo tive and is seeking to impose upon you for bis own ends. ( .
