J .' The spring jobbing drycoods trade has opened auspiciously, and all signs point to x larger volume of business this season than last. Domestic'goods are especially active, ind a decided improvement is apparent for the past week or two. Though the month has another half week to go on, it is al ready an assured fact that, .o far as volume of trade is concerned, the volume of busi ness for February will exceed that for the same month of last year. March is uni formly the great month lor the jobbing trade.and, from present outlook, the March now close at hand will make a record better than any previous month as regards volume of business. The great activity N the past week or two has already raised price of blue prints, which are now selling at Sjc, against 5Jc a week or two ago. Imported goods are coming in freely of late, one of our leading firms reporting re ceipts of eight to ten cases per week Irom foreign shores. A carload of curtains and linen goods was received from abroad by this firm within a few days and was deliv ered directly at their warehouse without the formality of going through the Custom House. TheCustom House offiolals thought better to enter up the goods at the place of destination than at their receptacle on Penn avenne and Garrison alley. The Shoe Upper Trade. This city supports one of, the leading factories of the land in this line. The de mand for Pittsburg she uppers reaches the farthest East as well as the farthest West. Orders from Boston, the center of the shoe trade, as well as Irom San Francisco and all intermediate centers of trade, come in freely for this line of goods. An order Irom London. England, was placed by the above manufacturing firm within the past week. It is now an established fact that tne shoe upper industry has come to stay. With the exception of the few who cater to the tancy trade, shoemakers now buv the uppers, and their business consists in fitting and fasten ing the sole to the upper, which is ready lor their use from the manufacturer's hand. Interviews with several ot our shoemak ers have developed the fact that the French calfskin has no longer the lead Jhat it had a few years ago in footwear lines. Such has been the improvement in the home-made article that fully 90 per cent of the calf skins now worked up for footwear is home made. -A decade ago there was not above 50 per cent home-made, and the time draws near when French calfskins will be a thing of the past as far as America is concerned. This country is steadily improving in tjual-itv-of its products in leather lines, and it is onlv a question ot short time when we will be able to produce everything demanded by the trade "in quality equal to anvthing pro duced in the Old World. Lost Industries. Among the industries which of late years have departed from this city to seek more cnugenial climes is the tanning of calfskins. Xcvr York Citv has become a great center in this line, but of late Chicago and Mil waukee have been making rapid strides towards taking this industry from the great metropolis. Ihe drift ot things in the hide and leather lines, like the star of empire, seems to be westward. Our city manages to hold the fort in the harness leather line, but in most linesof finished .hide and calfskin products this city is no longer a factor of importance. A want of pnsh and pluck has withont doubt been the reason for the departure of many important industries from this to more congenial sections. LIVE STOCK MARKETS.

The Drygoods Market. Xew York, Feb. 23. The business -or the day was above the average of late at both y first and second hands. Jobbers have the . promise ora fairly active week with agents, the demand, though fuller, continued Ir . regular as heretofore, the more active movement being tn the finer descriptions of goods. Low grades were In slow request, , though as yet without important changes. rPrlces of many fine goods would advance 'but for the lateness bV the season, zoods be ins scares for any near delivery.

Blue Monday Transferred to a Bluer Tues day on Account of the Double Holiday TTheat liown Ho tire in Corn or-Provisions Oats Weak. CUlCAtSO There was but little doing in. the speculative markets to-day. The re ceipts, which had accumulated since Satur day, showed up big when lumped Jogether. Local holders dumped any long wheat they held, and the prices for May show a loss since Saturday of l)c. Corn was firm but lifeless; provisions dull and weak. Wheat started VfiSfc lower, with May at 93c sellers,- followed by an immediate drop to 92Jc, and shortly after another drop to 92fc. Cables were lower. New Tork was a liberal seller in this market. The weather in the wheat belt was lavorable. The longs sold out and the shorts waited for a further break and were gratified tilth a further de cline toward noon to 92K0- There was a slight reaction to 92c near the close, the last figure being 92c. The speculative business in corn came almost to a dead stand after the first 20 min utes of the session, and the prioe scarcely moved from 41ic for May afterward. It pot as high as 4ll41Jo and as low as 41 4lfKo and closed at 4lc. Oats were qniet andf weak in sympathy with the easy feeling in wheat and corn. May sold early at 31K31Jo. fell to 31c, and later reacted and closed at 3la. Hog products were quiet and decidedly lower. A good deal of speculative selling began, and as there was very little demand lowernrices resulted. May poik sold eaily at $11 72, broke gradually to $11 52, reacted to $11 60 and again sold off to $11 55. May laid sold from JO 60 to 6 55 and closed at $6 55.

Brimstone Corner to Be Superseded by a Business House. THE PROPERTY IS ON THE MARKET Improvements Actnal ancVFrospectiye Give Federal Street a Lift FEATUBES OF MONET AND' SPECUfcAHOir "Brimstone Corner" is one of the moit prominent landmarks in Pittsburg. Meth odists have worshiped, there for three or four generations. Among the pastors have been some ot the ablest men belonging to the denomination. The late Bishop gimp 'son preached there at ihe beginning of his distinguished career. The congregation has outgrown the building and it will be sold. This has beenrumored so often during the last three or four years that many, no doubt, will feel like impeaching the ac curacy of the statement. But it is a fact The property has been placed in the hands of W. A, Herron & Sons for sale, and will be so advertised in The Dispatch. The principal objection of the congrega tion all alongjto giving up this location and going elsewhere has been that it would leave the central part of the city withont a, representative Methodist church. But this difficulty has been obviated by the trustees securing an option on a suitable site on Seventh avenne, near Smithfield street The lot is capacious enough to admit of a building as large as mav be desired. It is understood that several flattering offers have been made for the historic corner, and the probabilities are that the old church mlh give place to a handsome block before the" year rolls an ay. The announcement that "Brimstone Cor ner" is in the market will be a surprise to many whose associations with the place go back to childhood. Its disappearance will forcefully emphasize the revolution going on in Pittsburg. Sentiment and tradition are yielding to the growing demands of business, and landmarks are esteemed in proportion to their commercial value? Joining the Procession. Indications are cropping out here and there that Federal street, Allegheny, is awaking from its Eip Van "Winkle sleep. It has been backward for so Jong a time that many will receive this information with more or less incredulity. But facts, always stubborn things, bear out the statement that it is falling into line with progressive thor oughfares on this side of the river. The work of remodeling, or rebuilding Colonade row, the residence and pride of the late General Bobinson, has actually begun. It will, it appears, be built up two or three stories and extended to the curb, doing away with the porch, which has long been a feature in that quarter. The new building will contain a row of stores on the first floor and offices above. Another evidenoe of progress on this street is found in the fact that negotiations are pending for three or four old buildings below the market house. If the deals co through a haudsome business block will be the resultlt is too early to give particulars, but the agent in charge says everything is favorable to the successful issue oi tne transaction. Followed Good-Advice. Ral estate agents are useful members of society in many ways. "Without them the buying and selling of lands and houses would be of small importance Many a man in these cities is indebted to them for the inspiration which -moved him to acquire a home Here is a case in point About five years ago a Scotchman living on the North side received a legacy of about 52,000. Before it slipped through his lingers one of his friends, who was and is a-real estate agent,' Induced him to buy a lot in McClintock place, which "had just been opened. A year later he built a nice dwelling, which he now occu pies. It is almost paid for. He could sell it any day for 3,000 moie than it cost him. The purchase of the lot was his first in vestment, and really the first money he had been able to save. It changed the whole tenor-of his life. Instead of living from hand to mouth as formerly, he is comforta bly fixed, independent of landlords, and has no special horror of a "rainy day." If the advice of real estate agents were more gen erally followed, there would be fewer "ten ants and more proprietors. Late Incorporations. The United States Corporation Bureau reports the list of newly completed incor porations in the United States for the week ending February 12, 1892, as follows: Total corporations, 378; total capitalization, $115, 782,025, distributed as follows: Mercantile and manufacturing companies, 115 $18,803,950 Banks (not national) and Invest ment companies, 8 285,000 National banks (to February 8, 1802), 1 50,000 Gold, silver and othor mining and , smelting, companies, 32 28,716,000 Coal and Iron, companies, S 1,350,000 Light, heat, power and transporta tion companies, 23.. 18,626,000 Building and loan associations, 12.. 30,700,000 Irrigation companies, 4. 2,104,000 Miscellaneous companies, 180 17,467,075 Business News and Gossip. It was reported yesterday that theUnited States Glass Company had secured an option on a large tract of land near Elizabeth as a site for its plants. The report could not be verified. A Philadelphia corporation has placed $5,000,03) in Pittsburg aud Allegheny on real estate seourlty within tho last five years. From this it is quite evident that outsiders have ralth in the future of these cities. German Turners of Canton, O., are pre paring to build a new hall at a cost of $15,000. Methodists of Coraopolis and Catholics of Johnstown will build new churches in the spring. Bids aie invited for the latter. In stock circles in Chicago it is rumored that Gould and Wanamaker have Joiued hands in a scheme to bull Western Union. The expansion of over $10,000,000 in loans by tho New York banks last Teck speaks well for tho business sitnition. Pittsburg's big snrplus will soon get into circulation. John B. Barbour, Jr., of Rea Bros. A Co., on the sick list for a few days, was on 'Change yesterday looking out for snaps, as usual. Birmingham Traction bonds moved up another peg yesterday. At the last call 99J wis bid. At the first call 19 was bid for a 500-share lot of Switch and Signal. The demand for dwellings in Sewickley is greater than the supply. This is the case in all the towns around Pittsburg. . Checks for dividend No. 1 on Hidalgo, being 1 per cent, were received by stock holders yesterday.

A FAIR GRIST GROUND AFTER THE DOUBLE HOLIDAT. Brokers Take Up the Thread of Bollness About .TThere They Left Off on Satur day Trading Better Than Expected No Important Price Changes. The long holiday had no appreciable effect in speculative circles. There was a fair market for most of the specialties, and busi ness was better than expected after the bulge of the last two or three weeks. Orders accumulate slowly.

LONDON DOING THE FORMER AND GOTHAM THE LATTER. s Chicago Gas Stock Gotten Rid of Very Rapidly Late in tne Day the Buying Turns the Tide or Prices The Gold Movement Outlook. New York, Feb. 23. The condition of the foreign exohange market, and the buying of American stocks for foreign account, were the principal factors in the oourse of prices in the stock maiket to-day, and while there was a forenoon of drooping prices with some material losses, the latter portion ot the day saw not only the recovery of the eaily fig ures, but the gain of fractions in addition. London was a liberal buyer or stocks during the whole forenoon, but despite this fact there was considerable realizing in different portions of the list, while Chicago Gas was under the hammer continuously, and its drop of 2 per cent had a material influence upon theest'of the list for the time being" The bears believed that Jarge stop orders had been placed in the stock and went gun ning for them with unusual success, and the buying,for foreign account was of little in fluence at the time to check the dropping tendency Imparted to the list. Atchison, Burlington, Beading and some others scored losses of 1 per cent, while the entire list lost fractional amounts. The character of the buying, however, attracted attention at this time, and the pressure of stocks for sale was sensibly relieved, while the market from this cause became dull. A reduction in exchange rates gave promise that the prediction of some of the most in fluential bankers that very little gold would go out, which had been made public, stimu lated new buying, and to help along the recovery the Coal stocks, Lackawanna in particular.wero given a sharp upward twist, the inference that the buying was for the following ot the new members of the direc tory stimulating a turtcer demand for tho stock. Jersey Central and Delaware and Hndson followed with marked gains on a light business, while Heading recovered all or its early decline. The magnitude of the takings for foreign account then became apparent, and there was a rush to cover the shorts put out earlier in the day, whioh, with the help of the new buying on account of the improved aspect of the gold movement, soon placed prices on a materially higher level than that of the noon figures. In this latter move ment, Chicago Gas recovered about half of its loss, but the Grangers, especially St. Paul and Atchison, were largely traded in at advancing.prices. The decline in Chicago Gas had no ap parent Influence upon the other Industrials, lor all, including Sugar and Distillers' were very quiet and firm, while the Oordage stocks were specially stiong, the preferred rising iii per cent. The market undoubt edly showed a nanowing tendency, but the late strength displayed was encouraging to buyers and the commission houses which purchased during the forenoon, became a lactor in tiie inte uuvaucu. The close was quiet, but firm to strong, generally at fractional gains over flcsc prices and at about the highest prices of the day. Tho final changes are almost all small gains; but while Chicago Gas is down 1, Lackawanna roso 3, Jeisey Central , and Union Pacific 1 per cent.

A Little Better Movement No Fear From Gold Exports. Business at the city banks exhibited con siderable vim yesterday. The long holiday had somewhat sharpened the appetites of tho borrowers, and their calls for accommo dations were more urgent than usual. Ac cumulated business enabled Manager Chap lin, of the Clearing House, to present a good report. It shows that the ban'ks are doing a large business, and disproves the assertion that general trade is stagnant. There was no change in the interest rate. Clearings were $2,977,062 OS and balances $422,874 36. While business operations are held In check by influences incident to the season, and may be quiet for a few weeks yet, a steady stream of favorable factors is gather ing into an accumulated force that is likely before long to prove irresistable. All signs and forecasts go to show that within a month or less trade will be active enough to satisfy the most exacting. The IVall Street News remarks: "So long as the bank statement shows much larger deposits than were ever before known, and the surplus reserve is so satisfactory, there is no reason to fear exports of cold. The rate for money during the past week has averaged lower than for years. It will be to -our-advantage if we oxportra'little gold; and unuer tne cii cumsiances 11 we do so we snail really strengthen ourselves by relieving the foreign situation.
