Omra o The Dispatch, J
" PnTSBUBo, Tuesday, March 1.
The first three days of March have from
time immemorial been the days appointed
by our millinery jobbers as opening days
for the display of goods. There are in this
city three houses devoted exclusively to the
jobbing trade in this line, namely: J. D.
Bernd & Co., J. J. Porter & Co. and Ken
wick, Ellis & Co. The opening of these
firms for the display of goods was inaug
urated yesterday, and in spile of the in
clement weather, the opening was auspi
cious and buyers -were present in larger
force than ever before.
The idea of the spring opening is more to
display goods and show styles than to sell.
Sales are expected later on. Retail millin
ers come from near and far to spy out the
land and catch on to new styles and shapes
for feminine headgear. At the opening
yesterday there were milliners from 300
miles westward and oyer 100 miles east
ward. TheAisnlay of our jobbers exceeded
in beauty ana variety any previous season.
The elements yesterday were decidedly
gainst trade. A mixture of rain and snow,
accompanied with stiff gales and sloppy
streets, would naturally be supposed to
keep the fair sex at home. But in spite of
these obstacles they were on hand in lull
force. The average passerby on Liberty
street could have little conception of the
beautiful things on display at these whole
sale millinery establishments.
Concerning the Styles.
The market editor, who is deplorably
"weak on the matter of ladies' headgear,
tried his best to catch on to the spring
styles, but fears his attempts were not a
success. He was told that wide ties, jet
effects, with a combination of gilt, were
Very popular this season, -and that flowers,
laces and nets have not'lessened, but rather
grown in popularity. The Swiss braid, he
was told, is also more popular than ever
before. For further particulars the lady
reader is advised to look to fashion
journals.
The value of goods cleared by the Pitts
burg Custom House for the month of Febru
ary was in ronnd numbers 828,000, or an
equivalent of $1,000 per day. This was a
slight reduction from the total for the cor
responding month of last year. The months
of Kovember and December of 1891, and
January of 1892 showed a slight increase
over the same months of the previous year.
The totals for the vear past will show a
business equal to a little more than $1,000
per day, or close to $400,000 for the year.
The heaviest importations are in fall," Sep
tember and October being the big months.
In addition to the goods received through
the Pittsburg Custom House large quanti
ties of imported goods are cleared for this
city at 2sew York, but not nearly so large
as former years. The bulk of goods im-
orted are fine silks and woolen goods,
iquors and cigars come next in the value
of goods imported. So far as can be discov
ered the operations of the McKinley tariff
bill have not lessened the amount of goods
received at this port from foreign shores.
An English View or Shoe Machinery.
The Chicago Mide and Leather has this:
A London cable dated February 23, reads:
The Boyal Labor Commission to-day heard
the testimony of shoe manufacturers of
Leeds and Northampton in regard to the
vuuumuii ui Huur ia iud uooc ana snoc in- I
dustry. The witnesses aerreed that Amnri- I
can maenmery usea in tne mating of hoots f
and shoes was infinitely superior,
jerlor. to that In
use In England. It did excellent' work and
lowered the cost or the manufactured ar
ticle, but English workmen object to its in
traduction; fearing that by the use of the
new inventions the work would be split up
In sections, the value of 'the individual
workman lessened and wages reduced. The
manufacturers thought It would be a gen
eration yet before improved machinery
would gain a foothold in England. They de
nied that importations would be fnade from
the United States except of the rougher
grades. The delicate leather made In France
and other parts of Europe entered England
free of duty, while a heavy-duty yi as laid
upon It in America, Tnis largely offsets the
advantages enjoyed by America in the mat
ter of improved machinery.

VERS LIGHT TRADING.
Wheat Generally Inclined to Strength, With
a Period of Weakness Before the Close
Corn Decidedly Strong and Higher Am
Advance in Oats.
CHICAGO Wheat was quiet and price,
changes were rather narrow, but the under
tone was firm and prices averaged some
what higher than at the close yesterday.
There was nothing very decisive in the way!
of news, and it was pretty impartially dis
tributed, each side getting about equal
encouragement. Cables came rather weak,
and Liverpool was lower with a general
falling off in the demand reported both in
the United Kingdom and on the continent,
with buyers demanding concessions. Stocks
on hand were said to be ample, ond one dis
patch stated that since September 1 tne
United Kingdom had received 20,000,000 bush
els more than its requirements for the same
time. The amount on ocean passage showed
an increase during tne weeK or tju.uuu Dusn
els, which was a considerable disappoint
ment, as a decrease was expected. The con
tinued exDorts of gold had a rather depress
ing effect, creating more or less apprehen
sions as to the final effect on business.
Yet the friends of heat found a little en
couragement in the fact that the English .
visible supply had decreased 766,000 bushels
the last -noek; that the crop prospects In
Russia and France were apparently growing
worse, and tnat there was no great selling
pressure here. Some private dispatches
from Kansas andMlssoun werein sharp con
tradiction of those received yesterday, and
told of a good deal of damage in those States
by freezing and thawing, and quoted the
general outlook as rather poor.
These conflicting statements kept traders
In a state of uncertainty and materially re
stricted operations. Still, considering the
break of yesterday evening, the bears did
not seem disposed to press their advantage
much further for the moment, and a rather
strong feeling ruled most of the time, shorts
covering freely, and there was also some in
vestment buying up to the noon hour.
Then the market became weak. The ad
vance secured during the forenoon brought
out a large amount of long stuff, which
showed a profit, and the short selling be
came more aggressive. Late cables were,
also, less assuring. The result was that the
advance was lost, but theiewas some reac
tion before the close, which, was at medium
figures. May opened unchanged at S9Jc;
advanced to 90c; receded to 89Jc, and
closed steadv at 90V4c
Corn was decidedly strong and higher. The
offerings were light, and with a good de
mand for cash corn from shippers shorts
seemed disposed to cover, and the longs
were doing what they could to increase the
firmness. The firmness in wheat and the
small receipts of corn estimated for to-morrow
were also strong factors. It weakened
a little In sympathy with wheat during the
last hour, but closed at about the top. Hay
opened unchanged at 4214c. advanced to
42Jc. weakened to 2c, and closed steady
at 42f c
Oats sympathized with wheat and corn
and closed with Jc advance.
Hog products were unsettled. Pork
opened higher on the smaller receipts of
hogs than expected and fi10c advance in
price, andmarked an improvement of 10c
per barrel: buti there was an absence of
buyers, and on offers by a prominent specu
lator there was a recession of 15c; then a
period of steadiness, and the close was a
point higher than yesterday's. The deliver
ies on all of the articles traded in were light.

M 'EAST END DICKER,
A Merchant Picks Up a Block of 18
lots on Frankstown Aveniie.
CHRIST CHTJBCH PROPERTY DEAL
Probability That It Will Ce mi in Parcels
Instead of as a Whole.
LITTLE WASHINGTON LOSES
'A VPLAKT
S. A. Dickie & Co. yesterday closed a
good-sized transaction in East End real
estate. They sold for Melvin & Smith to a
well-known Pittsburg merchant a block of
ground on Frankstown avenue, consisting
of 18 lots in the Melvin & Smith plan, hav
ing a total frontage of 552xl35 feet to a
24-foot alley, for J25.862, or f45 a foot front
age. The ground will be improved with
several handsome dwellings.
Prospect of, a Sale.
There is a good prospect of the Christ
Church property changing hands in a short
time. There are persons wanting to buy It
in lots of 25 and 30 feet fronts, and as better
prices can be realized in this way than by
selling it as a whole, the subdivision plan is
now being considered by the church people.
Amon? those anxious to secure part of the
property are several business men, who
will build at once if thev succeed in pur
chasing. It is expected that a dicker for 50
feet, or two 25-foot lots, will be closed in a
few days.
Ask for a Receiver.
Washington, Pa., has just taken s step
backward which could have been obviated
by the citizens rising to the demands of the
occasion. The stockholders of the "Wash
ington Glass Company at a recent meeting
adopted a. resolution asking court to ap
point a receiver to wind up the affairs of
the concern. - Failure to secure subscrip
tions in sufficient amount to place and keep
the company on its leet was the cause of
this action. While this is unfortunate, the
industrial and commeroial1 position of the
handsome and cultivated borough is strong
enough to withstand the loss. . "Washington
is the headquarters for nearly all the oil
operators f. Washington and Greene coun
ties in Pennsylvania and. the Eastern Ohio J
ana west Virginia nelds. The offices ot the
pipe line company for. the South West field
are located there; also ten machine shops
and manufactories of oil well tools, sucker
rods, etc. Three large oil refineries are in
active operation near it. The present pop
ulation ot the town and suburbs is about
12,000 and they are growing steadily. An
average of over 100 dwelling houses per
year have been erected during the past dec
ade. Quite a number of the residences cost
from $10,000 to $30,000 each. A dozen or
more handsome business blocks have been
erected during the same period.
Dp With the Times.
Beflectorville, on the Castle Shannon
Kailroad, is a progressive place. About a
dozen lots .have changed 'hands there in the
last few days. Building is quite active.
Mr. Munn, ot the Baltimore and Ohio Bail
road, is putting up four dwellings and
plans are being prepared for a business
block. Application has been-iorwarded to
Washington for a postomce. This section
is filling up very last with a substantial
class ot people. Building lots are cheap,
but enhancement is certain. Tne introduc
tion of rapid transit, which will eventually
penetrate every quarter of the Southside,
will greatly augment the population and
put values on a level with those in other
localities where improved transportation
has been introduced.

NEW ENGLAND RULES;
VANDERBILTS FOLLOW CLOSELY AND
LEAD IN STRENGTH.
Michigan Central Leaps From Oblivion to
the Strongest on the List, Gaining 3
Per Cent The movement In New Eng
land Rather Mysterions.
New YobA March L The stock market
failed to display either the animation or the
strength to-day of yesterday, and while re
alizations were heavy in- the stocks which
have had the greatest advance, there was no
lack of short sales to give the downward
movement character and impetus.
The leading feature of the market to-day
was New England. As usual, its movements
are not accounted for by any published
change either In Its management, its finances
or its prospects, though there were no lack
of rumors afloat looking to that end. Its ad
vance over Its last price yesterday was very
substantial, and most of the Improvement
was retained at the close.
The only other feature in the market
worthy of note was the increased animation
and strength in the Vanderbilt stocks In the
afternoon, and rumor still connects the man
agement of these properties with the sup
posed new deal with the Delaware and Hud
son, despite the repeated and official de
nials. The most pronounced movement In
them, however, was In Michigan Central,
which emerged for the time being from the
most utter oblivion to lead the list in
strength, rising 3 per cent to 110, followed
later uy Lake Shore, which was lorced up to
127 on a larger business than has been seen
in some time in that stock. The Coalers
were the weak points, and tho reactions
from the high figures attained yesterday
wore heavy, but not by any. means to be
compared with their Into gains:
The general list opened at insignificant
changes from last night's prices, but de
veloped a weak temper, which gave way to
I a fractional advance under the influence of
the strength in New -England; but later
there was a general decline, and prices re
mained for the rest of tho day below the
level of first figures. The strength in the
Vanderbilts seemed to have no Influence
upon the rest of the list in the alternoon,
and -the market finally closed quiet' and
heavy at fractional losses for the day. Jersey
Central is down 1, and Lackawanna 1, but
Delaware and Hudson.aftor some wide fluctu
ations, closed unchanged, and Beading was
tradod. in within narrow limits thronghout
the day. On the other 'hand, New England
is up 1; LakeShoie, 2, and Michigan Cen
tral, 3 per cent.
The total sales of stocks to-day were 329,
259 shares, Including Atchison, 9.3C0; Chi
cago Gas, 13,680; Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, 8,8t5; Delaware and Hudson, 14,555;
Erie, 10,475; Lake Shore, 17.1S2: Louisville and
Nashville, 9,950; Michluan Central, 7,360; New
Jersey Central,"4,480; Now York Central, 12,
700; Northern Pacific, preferred, 14,480;
New England, 64,393; Beading, 28,870; St.
Paul, 14,875; Union Pacific, 3,329: Western
Union, 3,485; Canada Southern, 6,885.
Railroad bonds were quiet, and. there were
an unusually small number of issues traded
in while fluctuations were insignificant In
all cases; and while there was considerable
animation In the Reading and Richmond and
West Points, none of them scored a material
chanice.

No Change in the Local Monetary Situation
Europe's Need.
Bankers yesterday were unable to-report
any decided change In the local monetary
sitnation. There was a moderate business
all round. The weather was unfavorable to
outdoor operations, and kept many people at
home. The ruling Interest rate was 6 per
cent. Bank clearings were $2,009,353 17, and
balances $466,937 73.
A bank officer explains that uuder the
financial sysrems of England, Franco and
Germany the inflow and outflow of gold is
controlled bv advancing or reducing the
bank rate. Under our system the rates for
monoy are governed bv natural causes and
are not controlled by the Government. Bnt
natural causes are equally as efficacious, and
the remedy for excessive gold shipments is
a decline In prices. Europe still needs many
million dollars' worth of our products, and
will repurchase American securities, at a
concession in values and our products when
ever a drop in prices shall occur.
At New York yesterday money on call was
