The lethargy on the Chicago Board In creasedWheat Strong on Turcliases to Even Up Old Tear Deals Provisions Change From Weakness to Strength. CHICAGO Trading in wheat was very slow to-day. and the market was almost featureless," though prices were generally firm and higher than at the close yesterday attcrnoon. The strength showed was chiefly the result of purchases to eren up deals pre paratory to beginning the new year with squared accounts. The buying was not large, and when- the demand had been supplied the market again rein psed into dullness and weakness. This was aided by a later report in regard to tho cold wave. May opened at Kiic touched D5JJc, receded to ffijic: advanced to H3c: weakened to B5c; rallied and closed firm at 93Jic. Corn was very dull and almost without feature, fluctuations being confined to a range of ft?&a throughout tho session. The closowasaf tho top figures of the day, an advance of J;?fc over ycslyerday's last fig ures.

Its record is practically made up from a business point of view, and it is in order to take a general survey of the results. It started badly. Business went to the wall inthe latter part of 1890. Honey was tied np and confidence shaken. Disaster fter disaster added to the general discourage ment. Enterprise was stagnant. As time progressed, however, improvement set in. Weak concerns were weeded out, confidence returned and the volume of trade increased. In he last quarter money became easy and bank clearings inoreased. They will aggre gate in round numbers ?fi70,000,000, against 5780,877,401 in 1890, and ?C1!),&32,674 in 1889, being the largest, with the exception of last year, since the organization of the Clearing House in 1876. Operation In Kealty.' Transactions in real estate, while better than expected, fell considerably below those of 1890. The causes for this have been pointed out sooften that they need only to be referred to here. Tight money at the beginning of the year scared investors out of the field. They held back for a break in prices 'that never came. Later on, the carpenters' strike, which touched realty on every side, added to the depression, and put the market fllat on its back. By the time this incubus was remoed it was too late to recover all the lost ground. The market commenced to rally at the begin ning of .November, and became decidedly active by December, most agents reporting a better business than in the- same month last year. The total value of property that changed ownership during the year is estimated by good authority at $25)000, 000. Last year il was estimate'd at 40,000, 000. One firm reports a decrease in its sales of nearly ?2,000.000 for the year, but others did more. There were fewer largo, trans actions than in 1890. The principal are these: Central Hotel, $330,000; Govern ment property on 1'cnn avenue, 52o0,000; Knfe Bailev, 575,000; Herst property' to Boggs & Buhl,S8.l5,000; Messier to Solomon, 595,000; Uimick property, "Wilkinsburg, 7(3,000; Christ Church purchase, Baum plan, 578,000. The close of the year finds the market occupying a strong.position, with good prospects of a. busy time in the spring. Tho Bnllding Record. Building operstions suffered from the same causes that operated against real es tate tight money at the beginning of the year and the strike during the summer. These caused many building projects to be abandoned for good and all, or to be de ferred until a more favorable season. Still, with all the drawbacks, the result of the year's operations in this line is quite .re spectable. Figures at hand, a few estimated, snow that permits were issued for about 2,500 improvements of all kinds, the bulk being small and medium-sized dwellings, at a total estimated cost of 54,770,000 in round numbers. Districts outside of the citv are not included in the estimate. The number for which permits were granted last year was 3,141, at an estimated value of 57,000, 000. In 1889 3,205 buildings were erected at a cost of 56,845,622, and in 1888, 2,761, costing 55,341,19.1. In the last decade the number of buildings erected in Pittsburg aggregates 19,331. The outlook for the coining year is favorable togrcat activity in this line of development. Local Stocks and Oil. The year was not a bad one in speculative circles. Tight money induced free real izing during the first half. In the first quarter holders of "Wcstingbouse Electric were free sellers. The largest sales of" the year were on February 7, when 12,615 shares chsngtd hands, of" which 11,259 were Electric. The successful reorganization of this company imparted a better tone to the market, and during the nresent quarter grading has been fairly active and the tone nrm, wnn a general recovery in values. Filial prices, however, with few exceptions, are materially lower than a year ago. Total sales for the year approximate 130,000 shares, against about 97,000 last year. More bonds were sold than last year. Oil was slow all year, but there his been some improvement within the last three or four months. The principal event in this line was the opening of the JIcDonnld field, which largely increased the -production. This has been and is the principal bear card. As only part of the transactions passed through the Clearing House, clear ances cannot be given, but they are not within speaking distance of last year, when they footed up 61,400,000. In 1889 they were 328,000,000. Brokers think the out loot for the coming year is fairly en couraging. Tin Situation and Ontlook. Business results for the past 12 months are before the people for their verdict. They oiler much to think about and rejoice over. The big crops were not only a boon to this country, but to the Old World as well. What des the coming year portend? As things now look, itwjllbe one of prosperity. The financial situation is strong; capitalists feel safe and investors are confident. Great interests are organizing for active onera- Ltions. There are signs of activity ou every hand. Work is plentiful and wages fair. Viewed from any point the outlook is en couraging. This is the situation as the curtaiu falls upon 1891. Bnsiness News and Gossip. Business was slow yesterday, but there were no bad influences at work. It was the regular Now Year's slump. Real estate agents having targe deals on hand say It is almost impossible to bring the principals together, and do'not expect to close anything until the holidays are out of the way. An agent stated yesterday that he did not think there would he any advance In rents for business houses outside of tho down town district, lie hub certain there would bo none in East Liberf y or Oakland.

The Declaration of a Dividend and the Selling of Long Stock Depresses New York Central and Nickel Plate Heavi ness at the Close. New York, Dec. 30. The stock market to day continued to show evidences of a do sire on the part of many operators to close out their deals with the end of the year. While tho list maintained a firm tone during most of the day, the volume of business was much smaller, and attacks on special properties had more effect, while the im portant advances were all in the lower priced specialties, which are Just beginning to attract attention. Ihe one event of the day which may bo said to have had its legitimate effect, was the declaration of the dividend on the New York Central, and the selling of long stock had the effect of bringing New York Central down materially and dragging many of the others down somewhat. At the same time none of the other Vanderbilts, except the Nickel Plate stocks, snoweu any special weakness. The general list opened fairly steady but receded under the early pressure only to rally in the forenoon, fractional gains being tho rule over the whose market. These ad vances were slowly wiped out in the late trading, and the closing was rather heavy, with prices generally at significant changes from the opening figures. Omaha opened up Y at 48 dropped to 47Ji and rallied to 49-X, but settled away again to4Satthe close, showing a net loss of for t ue day. The only material final changes were the 1 each in New York Central and Distillers'. The total sales of stocks to-day were 275, 220 shares, including: Atchison, 9,020: Chi cago Gas, 12.616; Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, 3.720: Erie, 28,183; Louisville and Nashville, 5,016; Missouri Pacific, 12,B75i New York Central, 15,705; Heading. 4.500: North ern Pacific preferred, 17,000; Richmond and West Point, 15.717; St. Paul, 9,845; St. Paul l and Omaha, 16,205; Union Pacific 17.810; Union Pacific, Denver anu uuu, iu,iu.: west ern Union, 4,480.

ALL DAIRY PRODUCTS BARELY STEADY Orncn or Tire Dispatch J Pittsburo, December 30. ( Country Produce Jobbing prices Receipts in this line are light, but demand corresponds, and trade is reported, slow. Receipts of poultry arc small as compared with a week ago, but notwithstanding small receipts, tho movement is far from active. The weather of late has Dot been helpful to trade. Pairy products of choice grade are barely steady, and common grades are exceedingly dull, with prices nominal. Country butter has been a drug on the mar ket for'weeks past, and only fancy stock is in demand. The average consumer prefers oleo to butter that is not first quality. Eggs are in better supply than for some time past, and markets are weak at the reduction already noted. The article most longed for bv nrodnce commission merchants is a spell of sharp, frosty weather, with the mercury descending 10 inc zero line. ArrLKS-Sl 503:2 00 per barrel.
