Bhecp Skies Are Ticked Up Promptly at Last Tear's Frices. ;the hog's iiide is kescifastable Office or The Dispatch, ! Jl Prrrsnrha. Tuesday, February, 10. $ A few rears ago there were a number of woolen factories in Allegheny. At present there are none to be found within the limits of our two cities. The last to surrender was that of S. Bradley & Son. This firm re tired from the field within a couple of years. While the business of manufacturing wool into flannels, blankets and cloths has dis appeared from our city, th,e business of pre paring wool for the manufacturer is one of our steadily growing industries. There are eight firms, all on the Northside, and most of them on East street, engaged in the wool pulling industry. These firms are turning out close to r.,000 sheep skins weeklv, and at this season of the year close o 20,000 pounds of wool. Sheep tkins with : wool on never fail to find ready sle no mat ter whether wool is depressed or active. At present wool is 3c per lb lower than it was a year a;o, and some dealers are withholding stock from markets owing to the verv low prices. On the other nanu, the pelts are lullv as high as they were last reason and higher than they were three A-ears aeo Machine brushed wool now ranges in price Irom Hoc to jOc per lb and old style pulled wool from 15c to 33e per ft. Where the ool Go;. The great bulk of Allegheny's products an this line goes to Boston and Philadel phia. The freight to Boston is 43c per cwf. 'and to Philadelphia 3Uc per cwt. It is difh eult to find a substantial reason why woolen "'manufacturing should cease to be aquantity among our home industries. Some of the firms which engaged in this line years ago in Allechen had ample capital and seemed to prosper, "in many of the towns of A est cr i Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio the manufacture of woolen goods is still a suc ce But here where this industry once nourished all that is lclt to us is the prepa ration of the material for the use of East ern factories. . A good demand for tanned sheep skms is T.-n,-t.i ti. -itp. made to do service largelv in hnitatioa. of kid gloves. hue thetrade i- wool is reported less satis factory than a vear ago all sheep skins that come to our market? ar . picked up an fast rs they arrive and stcck on hand is reported unusually light. How Jlog Sfcin Are Utilized. The following is from Hide and Leather, ne of ChicagoS leading trade papers: Hoc .kln leather is becoming fashionable for -null paper in tlie homes or the rich.

CHICAGO The wheat market was again somewhat excited, although the news, es pecially dnrlng.the early part of the session. was decidedly bullish; and though prices were decldodly higher early, the offerings wore such -as to-bieak the market on every suggostion of a further advance, and the close, was at a loss of over 1 cent compared with yesterday's final figures. Shorts were full of alarm and were greedy buyers, while confidence seemed more general, and there Mas more demand fiom speculative invest ors. All outside markets were eren stronger than this, and rora time there was a wild rush on the part or buyers, hile there was very little for sale. Sales around the opening wero anywhere betweenOlWcandOSVo. but a flood of long wheat began to come ont at once. Xew York apparently led the sellii.g, but St. Louis was well abreast, and the local crowd also began to dump their holdings. The movement was largely in the war of realizing the late ad vance, showing a tempting profit. The sell ing pressure quickly became too heavy to be resisted and prices turned downward. Many stubborn longs saw theirproflts stead ily slipping away from them, and finally thought it prudent to go with the current. A suspicion began to develop that much of the private bull news had been made to or der, to make a hard market to sell on, and this aided in the depression. Before noon May had fallen off to 91c and held around Me for some time. During tno last hour the market was unsettled. Mav sold un to Kc. but then became heavy and fell toDlc, and closed weak at SlJc, against 92ic at the close yesterday. Corn was dull and weak almost fromtho start, on account of the heavy receipts and the continued improvemcut in the grading. Then, the cold weather giving promise of continued improvement in the quality of the grain, tlieie was an increase in the con tract stocks, and the subsequent weakness in wheat was also a weakening factor. The seaboard markets were also dull and easy. with the shipping and export business light. The local speculative trade was slack. May opened at lie, which was the closing price j esterday, and that proved the top figure ot the dav. It broke steadily to 41Jc; held for some time around 4i;tlJc; im proved to 41Jc, but weakened again to ijc nnd closed stead3" at 415ic bats quiet and easy and closed with a loss of 'Ac. Hog products were higher for a time in sympathy with the early advance in the price of hogi; but that advance was soon lost, which, together with the weakness in grains, caused the prioo or products to de cline quite sharply. There was some re covery before the ciosc, but last prices show a loss of 15c on pork and J,c on laid an 'J ribs. The lending "futures range as follows, ai cor rected Iiy John M.

The Biggest 'Whirl of the Tear on the fittshnrg Stock Exchange. OFFICE A'D STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP Three transactions in real estate, involv ing ?90,000, came to the surface yesterday. They give emphasis to the fact for it is a fact that realty is steadily rising in the estimation of careful investors. One of the Nicola Brothers, the well-known lumber men, purchased the Morris property, on .Forbes street, corner of Fralich, for S42, 009. It consists of about five acres of ground, a large and elegant frame dwelling and several .outbuildings'. It is understood that Mr. Nicola, who at present resides on Lincoln avenue, Allegheny, will occupy this place as a residence Henry A. Breed was the ajjent in the transaction. The f ahnestock property. No. 11C Second avenue, running through 1G0 feet to First, with a frontage of 2G.11 feet and 25.3 re spective, and having thereon two three story warehouses, changed ownership at a figure close to f31;000. The name of the purchaser could not be ascertained, but it is understood he is a prominent capitalist, J. B. Larkin & Co. sold to William Guckert, the well-known oil producer, for Mrs. James E. Crow, a two-story brick house, No. 1G7 North avenue, Allegheny, with lot 20x100, for 517,000, or, estimated by frontage, ?850 per foot. The building is 15 years old. It will be improved with a handsome stone front and other modern in novations. Cost or Building Permit?. "Alpha" writes: "What is the coBt of a permit for the erection of a medium-sized dwelling?" . The following is the ordinance on this subject: "When any person, per sons or corporation shall be desirous of erecting, constiucting or altering any build ing within the city of Pittsburg, he or they snaii make application at the omce 01 the in spector of Buildings for a permit for that pur pose, and shall be reqnired to furnish to said inspector a written statement ol the proposed location, the dimensions and man ner of construction of the proposed building, and the materials to be used; and if the same appears to be conformable to the laws and ordinances of the city, he shall give to said applicant or applicants a permit for the erection of the same, for which he or they shall pay to said inspector the sum of S3, if the estimated cost of said building shall be less than 1,000; $5, if the same shall be more than $1,000 and less than $5,000, and for every additional ?1,000 over ?5,000, the sum ot 00 cents." Money and xports. The Financial Chronicle states the situation thus: "Keturns of the Treasury Depart ment show that we have recalled from Eu rope about 823,000,TJ00 of the $75,000,000 Tf gold which was exported in the early por tion of last year. The vast exports of crops which have been made during the former months af 1891 have been largely paid for by the transfer and sale of stocks in our market, the effect of which was, of course, to depress prices of stocks at a time when, if they were relieved of this addition, they would naturally have exhibited ex treme buoyancy. Large deposits in the banks reflect also the operations of foreign trade We are a selling community, and are exporting to many more eections of the world and in larger quantity than has ever been witnessed in any previous time in the history of the country." Business News and Gossip. Several bids for the Exchange building have been made In the last few days but none of them is quite up to the mark. A prominent brokerage firm wants it, and may raise Its offer to the required pitch. The figures given yesterday in connection with the sale by J. B. Larkin & Co., of the Mrs. Crow property on Perrysville avenue to Clarence M. Greene, were incorrect. They should have read $3,000 instead of $1,000. Smith Bros., printers, having leased from the Bakuwell estate for a number of years Xo. 405 Grant street, yesterday commenced tearing down the building to make room for a laiger and more modern structure. It will be three stories high and will extend back to the alley, 90 feet. The American Steel Barge Company has Just voted to expend $1,000,000 for additioual whalebacks for lake use in 1892. ' Among Xew York bankers, there is little fear that the proposed 5 per cent interest bill can be put through the Legislature. If it is Governor Flower will veto it. Five permits wei e issued yesterday for the erection of six buildings,aggrogating $4,700. The largest was for $2,000. The annual meeting of the Pittsburg and Castle Shannon Railroad Company was held yesterday. Result: President, Walter Chess; Directors, John Geib, L. S. McEallip, .lames M. Bailev, W. H. Brunt. P. F.

Calls A Bnlllsh Sentiment Fol lowed by Moderation Tractions and Philadelphia Gas the Leading Features. Proceedings at the Stock Exchange yester day were interesting, and, for Pittsbuig, ex citing. The market was strong and active at tho early calls, during which over 2,000 shares changed hands. Leading features were Birmingham and Manchester Traction and Philadelphia Gas, each or which bet tered its position. At the end of the second call a softer feol ing was developed. Brokers went out to con sult with their customers, and when they assembled for the afternoon session it soon became evident that the top of the market had been reached for the day. Final prices were in most cases a shade below the best. The most notable exception to this was Pleasant Valley. It wns much stronger at tho last call. The proposed increase of cap ital stock made a favorable impression. The prospective advantages were regarded as outweighing the additional burden. Tho road has a large territory to cover, and needs more capital to do it thoroushly. Birmingham continued its upward course on buying by the syndicate, it stUl has a long road to travel before reaching par, and until it approaches that point can lie easily kept moving by its friend. Buyers are seldom burdened with caution, with plenty of leeway. The nearer the par lino a stock gets the slower it moves. There aro ex ceptions, but this is the rule. This Is the case with PleasantTalley, which,, although paying 0 per cent dividends. Is handled ordinarily quite cautiously. Wereitastar irom par as Birmingham it would be as active as anythirg on the list. The advance in Philadelphia Gas was somewhat uuexpected, and was due, it is be lieved, to a Hudden influx of Eastern orders. Airbrake advanced to 105 bid on renewed talk of an extra dividend. Electric finished with a'sllght gain. Thero was no chnnueln Switch and Signal. German National Bank was offered down a point and Xational Bank of Commerce tour points.

Shares Very Slowly and Gradually Depre ciateDistillers', "Which W the Only Weak Point, Now Alone In Its Strength Chicago Gis Raided Cordage Up. Nbw York, Feb. 16. The stock market to day became moro regular and the subsistence of ordinary activity in the Coal stocks leaves the field open to the others to eomo to the front; but, as yet, the trading remains almost entirely In a few of the leaders. There were purchases this morning, appar ently for foreign account, and the traders were in a moro bullish frame of mind than for some time in consequence of these pur chases; but while first prices were all ma terially higher, it soon became evident that free realizations were the rule, and the pro fessional element soon changed front. The few stocks which displayed strength in the early dealings, including Atohison and St. Paul, met a pressure ol stocks tor sale that toiccd them off with the rest of the list, and the entire day saw a slow but steady depreciation in values, which, while makine few wide fluctuations, gave the whole list a weak temper, and losses are very uniform this evening. Distillers', as it has been very weak in tho face'of the strong market for the last week, changed from to-day and be came the one strong point in the list lor no apparent reason, and its rise is attributed to manipulation pure and simple. The bears rallied Chicago Gas down in the afternoon, when tho rest of the market gave indications of halting in the downward movement, and the weakness induced spread to the general list in the last half hour, with tho' effect of piodiicing lurtner liquidations, and the lowest prices of the day were reached toward the cloe of busi ness. X'o impression was made on the other Industrials, however, and Cordage, despite the reports of new competition, advanced materially, keeping puce with Distillers.' The Richmond and West Point stocks were the weak features of the forenoon, the reports or the provisions of the reorganiza tion plans being legarded as unfavorable to the stock; and while the bonds w ere strong tlie stocks fell ajvay rapidly, the common dropping 1 and the preferred 3, a portion of which was aftorwaid recorded. St. Paul and Union Pacific weie paid -special attention to, tho latter being sub jected to neavy Dear pressure, and it scored one of the most important declines of the day. The pressure as removed in the last few minutes, when prices rallied, and while the tone of tho dealings at the close was firm prices wore at the lowest of the day.

At the city banks yesterday money was easy on the usual 6 per cent basis for loans. Good depositing reflected a healthy state of general trade. There was nothing new in conditions, with tho exception of such as naturally precodo the spring openingjwhich is close at hand. Bank clearings wore 12, 281,001 48 and balances $42,111 35. Tho super abundance of money is indicated by the face that it is lending inNewYork at lower rates than ever beToro known. ' The Journal of Finance remarks: "The im mediate strength of foreign exchangois be lieved to bo merely a temporary spurt in settlement for securities deliyered from London. The point was made that we would probably never better afford to let gold go out than at this time, in view of the fact that we now have from $lO0,CO0,C00 to $150,ob0,000 moro money than when Kuropo last began to draw upon us.

El Paso, Tex., Feb. 16 A mining man has Just returned from the mountain ous regions of Chihuahua. He says the revolutionary movement is backed by the lower class to a man. They have in several instances already rebelled and won a vic tory or two against the Federal troops. At Temochi recently a demonstration occurred, and the Government sent on a detachment of troops to capture the leaders and disarm the people. "When the troops arrived a battle ensued, during which 20 regulers and nine rebels were killed and many wounded on either side. The troops succeeded in capturing the town. Following close upon this another battle was fought at Los Almos, in which the revolutionists came out victorious and without the loss of a man. Eight Federal soldiers and the com mandant were killed. The news of this victory spread rapidly and encouraged others to join the move ment. A few days later the Federalist and the revolutionists had a skirmish at Veck ery. in which three of the latter were killed and a number captured. The loss to the Government troops is not known. The movement is urged on by the priests, who hope to overthrow the present Government and resurrect the constitution ot 1872.

Andrew Car negie arrived in New Orleans yesterday morning, accompanied by his wife and a number of friends. In an interview Mr. Carnegie said: Let me tell you why I have como so far South and why I am going still further South. Mrs. Carnegie and her sister, and three or four of our friends, are enjoying a pleasure trip whose obj ectivc point is Mex ico. Thence we will go to California, next to Portland, Ore., and fromthat city we will return. Relative to the Iron industry, I can say that the McKinley bill has been a bless ing, not only to manufacturers, but also to tne worKingmen. President Harrison will bo the nominee of the Republican party in the next cam paign, and he will be elected even if the whole'unalviacd and solid Democratic party stands arrayed against him. All the talk about Mr. Blaine's retirement from the Cab inet is nonsensical. Ho will not withdraw. As to the silver bill, I believe the House will pass it, but it will fail in tho Senate. Even if it does pas3 the latter body the President will veto the bill. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria. When she was a Child, she cried for Cas toria.
