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

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. This
mav sound odd, but it is ti ue iievertlielet-s.

HESITATED AND LOST.
Hulls In Wheat Have a Splendid InnlnE
Some Hold on Too Lour lind Are Caught
In tlie Later Decline Corn Weak from
the Start.
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.

Three Good Deals in Business and
Residence Properties.
EXCERPT FEOM THE BUILDING LAW.
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."

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."

ANOTHER BREEZY BAY ON "THE LO
CAL STOCK EXCHANGE.
Over 2,000 Shares Change Hands at the
Early. 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. The last bid for
a membership was $410.

ON THE EBBING TIDE.
COALRRS AT TriE FORJIEU LEVEL,
GIVING BEARS A CHANCE.
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.
The big losses are Xew Jersey Central, 2;
UJicago uas. ajj; Reading ana union pa
cific, each Vi, and Northern Pacific pre
ferred 1 per cent, whilo Distillers' is up VA.
The total sales of stock, to-day were 487,15?
shares, including Atchison, 67,fc00: Canada
Southern, 3,100; Chicago Gas, 24,000; Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western, 8,260;
Delaware and Hudson, 3,100: Erie, 18,160.
Railroad bonds were active. Reading de
clined somewhat and many others felt the
influence, so that prices this evening show
irregularities.

AT THE BANKS.
Usual Movement Augmented Somewhat by
the Approach of Sprini.
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. Even if a littlogold.be ex
ported tliere would still bo no cause for seri
ous apprehension."

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.

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.

Country Produce (Jobbing prices)
The egg market is weak and prices are once
more reduced, as our quotations will dis
close. Job lot sales are reported a shade
below the revised quotations. At the Mon
day auction sales at Elgin, creamery butter
was reduced lc per pound. The decline will
go into effect here the latter part of the
week. Under the influence of cold weather
tropical fruits are dull and slow, and lemons
are lower. Fancy Malaga grapes are scarcely
to be had in this market. Such would read
ily bring $12 per hair barrel. The quietness
of vegetable mnrkcts reported all theseason
irives no shins of letting up. Potatoes are
baiely steady, and all else In the vegetable
line is very slow. Cabbage brings very little
above cost of transportation.
