All Discouragement in the Wheat Pit, TThilo Corn Prospects Are Excellent Weakness in One Checks Strength intho Other for tho Day rrovlslons Lower. CHICAGO Yesterday's weakness was continued to-day, and values struck tho lowest point so far recorded on the last crop. The chier depressing causo for some time has been the discouraging situation abioad. Stocks in Great Britain have boon large and the tendency has been downward lor the past two weeks. Tho Chilean war scare helped to maintain prices on this side for a time, bnt now that that ttouble has been averted, consetvative traders here do not look for any maiked improvement in valnes until the exDort de mand and the Euiopean prices improve, or unless the pro-n in ' winter wheat crop suffers material dania;e. The trading in this market tor some days has been largely of a scalping character. Tho market to-day was rather slow ana ae cidedly loner. Thero was little in the way of news that was encouraging to holders, and much that was tho lover-so. Cables were lower mid weak, domestic markers heavy, the receipts in theXorthwcst liberal and the export clearances moderate. These fcat utcs, with the fact that the depression of yeitcrdav brou-ht in large selling orders irom outside points, caused the lower open ins; for a time the offerings w ct e generous. Liquidation was quite free on the dow 11 turn, and as there was little acmand, concessions had to be made to find a market tor it. On the break some of tho earlv sellers be gan to coer, and cables coining steadilv with a. decrease of over 1,000,000 bushels in the available supply reported by Bradstreet's, there was a rally which carried prices al most to the closing price of yesterday. Tho strength was or.lv momentary, however, as another avalanche of offers qmckly de molished tint market, and the downward movement was resumed and continued -without material leaction till tho lowest price of tho day was touched. Confidence soemed to be wholly gone, and this, with exhausted margins and the vicious couratre displayed by bears, w as disistrous to holders. At the bottom shorts began to cover and took their profits liherallv, causing a rally to medium figures in spito of the late weakness and lower cables, and the close was steady at tho leaction. May opened SSJ8SJie against SSJc at tho close vesterday, settled around bottom figures for n time, then advanced to 89c, broke to SSc, rallied and closed SSc. Corn showed decided strength at the start and -was going up steadily until tho weak ness in wheat became pronounced, when it came ton standstill, then receded in sytn- patuv una closed at uottom ugutes witn prices unchaimed to a shade lower in com parison with yesterdav. Tho situation in corn is generally regarded as having a good many elements or strength. The receipts are moderate and the grading tinprecedent edly poor, not a single car having proved of contract quality in the entire receipts of the past three days. Stocks aro low everywhere and decreasing, and the exports are gener ous. Shorts were a little uneasy and dis nnsed tn cover. The near futures weio strong as -well as May. Tho latter opened unchanged at 41Hc. advanced to 41Jfc, cased off to and closed at the opening price. Oats were firm esrly In sympathy with corn, but weakened later and closed at yes tei day's last prices to a shade higher. Hog products were low er. The weakness in the other speculative pits bad a tendency to pull down provisions, but the chief cause of tho weakness was tho price of large out side orders to sell. Short ribs declined until there was a slight leaction near the close. Pork shows a loss of VLZc, while ribs are nil changed to 10c lower, and lard is 25c off. t The leading futures ranged as fnllow s. as cor rected by John M.

Easy Money Favorable to tho Expansion of legitimate Enterprise. FEATURES OF jfoXEI AND SPECULATION Another fine residence in the East End changed ownership yesterday. Black & Baird sold for Joseph Iv. Uass to H. J. Ipinz, the pickle man, a property on the north side of Penn avenue, between Lang and Hurtland, consisting of a lot fronting 171 feet on Penn by 500 feet in depth, with a large brick mansion, for 533,000. This place was for many years the home of Hon. James H. Hopkins. Mr. Cass parts with it solely on account pt beintr obliged to live in or near Tyrone, where he has important interests requiring his per sonal supervision, The State of Trade. Seldom has money been so plentiful as at the present time. It has become so much of a drug in New York and Boston that the banks have cut down the rate of interest to large depositors. It is estimated that the financial institutions of Pittsburg hold be tween 13,000,000 and 520,000,000 ot idle funds. If there is any locality in the coun try not fully supplied with currency it can not be argued as a reason that there is not enough to go round. This plethora of money is regarded by some as evidence of a slack- condition of trade. Clearing House statements and business reports do not bear out this theory. They show that the vol ume of trade is larger than ever before at this season of Jhe year. Exchanges be tween the Pittsburg banks lor January, ultimo, were nearly 57,000,000 in excess of those ior the corresponding month last vear. The true reason for the opuleney ot the money market is found in the tact that the outflow to Europe is restricted, imports be ing paid for with provisions and breadstuff's. Another fact is important in this connec tion. A great deal ot the money that was hoarded in the'latter part of 1891, when a panic was imminent, is now seeking em ployment. Prosperity in Pittsburg; Many express surprise that, with so' much idle money, to be had almost for the asking, new enterprises do not make a better show ing. These critics or grumblers are un reasonable. Ifor the week ending January 22 there were organized in the United States 351 industrial corporations having an aggre gate capital of 599,000,000 in round numbers. "What is the situation in Pittsburg? Nearly all the great and small industries arc in operation, labor is fairly employed, the citv is prosperous and growing There has never been a time when capitalists had more confidence in its future. This is shown in the large number of building projects both j ot a public and a private nature, ot which previous mention has been made. Pitts burgers believe in Pittsburg, and are sub stantially backing their belief. Heal estate, which underlies all other interests, was never in a healthier condition. Homes ior the people are springing up on every hand. Prosperity is general, and bears every mark of permanency. Easy money is favorable to development. Ot course the unexpected may happen, and Benner's prophecy of six years of busi ness stagnation may come true, but there must first be a complete reversal of condi tions, of which there is not a sign in the en tire business world. The future is full of reasonable certainties of peace and plenty lor alt. A Conservative Forecast. Jlr. C H. Love, one of the most conserva tive real estate' brokers in the city, in dis cussing the situation and outlook yesterday, said: "Conditions are much more favorable than they were at the same time last year, and business is more active. I have never known a time when there was a more sub stantial demand for nearly all descriptions of property. Many new investors have en tered the market this year, and with grati fying results to themselves. The inquiry for down-town property is remarkable. This is shown by the steady run of sales, many of which have not been reported. Everybody appears to have confidence in the future of the city. "I think we are at thebeginning of a year of great things for Pittsburg. If even half of the improvement schemes we hear of ma terialize, the end of the year will show re sults ahead of anything previouslyknown. The outlook is encouraging to eve'ry busi ness man." Bnstness News and Gossip. It was reported yesterday that the pur chaser of the 860 acres at Webster station is a Pittsburg land improvement company.

HOME SECURITIES. FAIR TRADING AND BETTER PRICES TUE U1ADING FEATURES. Daqnesne anil DIrinlngli&m Tractions Slated by llolders for a Higher I.evol ltnllish Talk on Other Interests Phila delphia Gas Still on the Kan. Trading on the Stock Exchange yesterday was of good proportions. Little of tho lethargy or the previous day was noticeable. Orders had been leceived by most of the biokcrs, showing that investors had not ab sorbed all they could carry. With few exceptions prices tended up ward. There wore beveral strong features, the most conspicuous of which w ere Birming ham and Duquesne Traction, both of which were lilsher. At the last call 21 was bid forth former and 21 tor tho latter, in large blocks. Holders, being confident or a further advunce, held off. Not a share of Duquesno was offered at the last call.

Diminished Grain 1-xports Responsible for the Hammering The Market reverish and Mixed Hocking Valley Scores Abont the Only Advance Eleventh Hoar Rally. New Yoek, FeD. 3. The falling off in the exports of grain is having considerable in fluence in the stock maikets, and indicates that there will be a falling off in tho earn ings of some railroads during January and Febrnary. The feeling of confidence that the exports will soon again become large continues, and that there will bo a corre sponding improvement in the prices of rail road securities is not to be douhted. The market to-day -was feveiish and very much mixed all day, and the good buying of Western Union, Manhattan, Wheeling nnd Lake Erie preferred and Like Shore in the forenoon was moro than offset bv tho heavy selling in the Industrials, AtchTson, Union Pacific and Louisville and Na3hville later in the day, although the spurt in the Coalers had a good eflect for some time. There seems to be a stiong impression that there will be an increase in the dividend on Western Union when tho next one is de clared, and the strength of the stock is verv pronounced, aided by the imptession that the Gould inteiest is now ranged on the bull side. The depressing influence to-day, however, came from Chicago and was exerted most vigorously in the Industrial stocks with which that center is identified; but the Grangers came in for their share of the 1 losses in the afternoon drive, which brought the prices of many stocKs down to a lower level than they have been for somo time. Distillers' was, of course, the most promi nent, and while it was well held for some time after the opening decline, it gave way with a rnsn in tuc auernoon, accompanied by Chicago Gas and the Cordage stocks, whose high puces invited an attach. Tho extreme losn on the latter was 3 per cent, while the others were not. far behind. Among the railroad list Louisville and Nashville continued to yield right from tho opening, while New England, after a weak spell in the forenoon, was held quite firm against the weakness of the rest ot the mar ket during the temainder of the day. Bur lington was a feature of the late drive, but its early impiovement prevented any ma terial loss for the day. The rest of the market, after a steady opening, developed considerable strength, but the ndvances were only fractional and the demand was at no time urgent, so that, with the pressure brought to bear by tho bears, prices yielded slowly nil along the line. The concessions were in no case ma terial outside of the shares mentioned, and a slight tally occurred in the last hour. The market closed heavy to weak at or near the lowest prices. The Coidagcstocks were specially weafe in this last dtivo. and the common list lost zyt per cent. Other material declines were: Distillers, 2; Chi cago Gas, 2; New England, ; Louisville nnd Nashville, 1: Union Pacinc, 1 per cent. Hocking Valley was remaikable for its strength in the afternoon, and it scored a net advance of 1 per cent, but the other low priced shares were in no way remarkable during the day. Total sales of stocks to-day were 349 723 shares, including: Atchison, 20,370: Chicago Gas, 20.063: Delaware, Lackawamn nnd West ern, 1,250; Erie, 6.120: Hocking Valley, 4,940; Louisville and Nashville, 17,550; Missouri Pacific, 4,300; North western, A.Zm; Northern Pacific preferred, 8,05S; NewTSngland, 10,927; St. Paul, 21.900; St. Paul and Omaha, 4.210; Western Unioii, 37,902; Union Pacific, 9,2:9. Kail road bonds w ere again more animated, bnt thero was considerable selling of the speculative issues, and wnile the majority or tho list showed a firm temper the ad vances were lew nnd "some important dec-lines were established. Atchison incomes contributed $330,000: Union Pacific notes, $193,000. nnd Chicago and East Illinois 5s, $151,000 to tho 'day's total of $3,O57,fO0. Iowa Central fiists lost 1 at 92 and Edtsou Electric at 101J4, while Long Islandos roe 1 to 94; Kansas ( ity and Pacific firsts, 1 to 76; Wabash firsts, 1 to 105.

Our quotations on Elgin creamery butter arc reduced le per pound, according to sales reported. High grade cheese is very firm, with a prospect of higher prices before many days. In tropical fruit line3 we note dull and heavy markets for oranges and bananas, and increasing firmness for fancy Messina lemons. Vegetables of all kinds are reported qnict, with no change in prices. Cabbage is a drug on the market, and that which comes to the front hardly yields enough to pay transportation. Atfles SI 501 73 per b-irrel.
