THE TRADE OUTLOOK.
"Allegheny Tanners Supplied Far
Ahead in Bark Lines and
PRICES ABE TENDING LOWER.
The Lumber Trade Is Dull and Hemlock
Quotations Have Eeen Cut
TANKEE INTENTIONS IN ENGLAND
Office of The Dispatch, )
Pittsburg, Tuesday, Xarch 15.
The bark question is one of interest to all
'manufacturers of leather, and in an indirect
way to all consumers of the same. Prices
of bark last season were about the highest
on record, chestnut oak reaching to 510 00
to 510 50 per cord and hemlock to 57 00 and
57 50 per ooid. Under the stimulus of hiqh
prices unusually lsrse quantities were peeled
last season,nntil supplies became so large that
a reaction lollowcd, and prices hare been on
the decline for the past few months. Alle
gheny tanners are more heavily stocked up
with bark that they have been these many
years. The majority are better stocked than
they ordinarily are in August or September.
A a result prices are now 50c to ?1 00 per
cord less than at this time last year.
A year ago chestnut oak balk was sell
ing at 510 to 510 50 percord, and now the
price is 59 to 59 59. Hemlock is now slow
at 56 50 to S7, a decline of 50c from prices
of a year ago. The business of peeling was
overdone last season, and this season we
are having the natural reaction. Large
quantities of last year's peel are being
pressed on to markets. The bark peeling
time usually begins about the beginning of
April and continues to June 1. As old
stock is still on hand In larger quantity
than usual, it is plain that the new peel
will be curtailed.
Lumber and Bark.
Lumber is in close sympathy with bark,
and when the former is dull, as it has been
all the past year, bark never fails to follow
suit. Bark is but a small factor in the valne
of a tree, and hence with lumber a drug, the
bark supply is likely to be very much cur
tailed the present season. The bullock is
not slaughtered for the hide, but for the
meat, and so the tree is not cut down for
the bark, but for the word, and as long as
lumber drags bark cannot be brisk.
The movement in lumber is slow. Mills
arc not buyinc freely for good and sufficient
reasons, namely, the large amount of car
ried over stock ?nd the uncertainties of the
fntTe. Hemlock lumber is particularly
dull at a reduction oJ 50 cents per thousand
from prices which prevailed in the early
part of the vear. The Tates for 2l to 3 inch
sizes are 510 00 to 510 50 per thousand.
White pine lumber is also dull, with a
range of 514 00 for common, up to 550 00 for
uppers. AVell seasoned hard wpods are firm
at the same prices as prevailed lor the year
past
Green stock is very slow at 3 decline of
51 00 to 51 50 per thousand in the past few
weeks. "White oak has the lea'l in hard
wood lines and cherry and poplar come
next in order of demand. Common white
oak well seasoned is in fair demand at
510 00 to 520 00 per thousand, and wagon
oak at 525 00. Chei ry is scarce and sells at
a range of 540 00 to 570 00. Clear dry pop
lar is in good demand at 525 00 and culls at
about one-half price.
Yankee Inventions Abroad.
The London correspondent of the Chicago
Jlide and Leather has the following in the
current issue:
Wc ttll continue to look to American in
ventors for the best finishing machinery.
Messrs. Pearson & Bene ion. of Leicester,
have just secured the agency for an Ameri
can triple l-eel-burnisher which Is said to be
the be-t machine of its kind In the world.
Great credit is certuinlv due to the makcis
of boot and shoe machinery in the United
States for the ever increasing number of
improvements and specialties they are con
stantly bringing hetore the trade. We, for
our part, are anxious to adopt them as
quicklv as our American cousins. In fact,
the llritisn boot and shoe manu'acturei s are
leaving no stone unturned to keep abreast
of the times.
American leather continues to keep well
to the front in our siatkets. In 1890 the im
port nf forehrn leather into !rat Britain
was $31,701 4C0, and in 1S91. $33,240,690; these
arc the highest figures ever reached, and out
of this total the greater part was Ironi the
United States. The sales of American
leather have followed pretty closely those of
the home pioduct: supplies having been just
about enough to meet the demand.

THE MARKET BEARISH.
Beports From Chicago Show a Very De
pressing Effect on Wheat Prospects, to
the Great Discouragement of the Bolls
Kye Also Deficient Provisions Higher.
CHICAGO There were a number of very
bearish factors in the market to-day and
these, taken in connection with the generally
discouraged feeling among holders, had a
very depressing effect on values. There
were only a few points which could be made
to favor the bulls and they produced very
little eflect. Perhaps the Government's
compilation of the wheat crop of the world
in 1S91, which was published this morning,
was about the most discouraging piece of
news. TMs report makes the wheat crop of
the world last year .nearly 35,000,000 bushels
in excess of that or 1890 and, in fact, the
largest ever reported, being 11,000,000 bushels
in excess of the crop of 1SS7, heretoroie the
largest. The effect or this on those who
have been bulling the market on the alleged
deficiency in last year's crop was most dis
heartening. Of course, this report makes no 'mention
or rye, which is universally admitted to be
very deficient, and theroforo It Is claimed
does not fairly lepresont the situation as to
breadstuffs: still It was regarded as very
bearish. Another very weak factor was the
enormous Increase in the amount of wheat
and flour on ocean passage, whioh shows an
increase of 3 523,000 bushels during the week
and indicates that other countries than
America are making large shipments.
Cables weie all lower, partlcularlv Paris
advices, which noted a decline of 23c per
bushel. This was attributed to financial
tioubles there, where and at St. Petersburg
Dank failures weie reported. On top of all
this, Millie the weather was cold all over the
nheat belt, the plant was reported as gen
erally protected by snow. There ere some
straggling reports 01 damage by freezing.
About the only favorable news was the re
pot t that the English visible supply de
creased l40O bushels last week and the lib
eral export movement. The flour exports
continue large, over 90,000 bairels having
been cleared lrom the seaboard yesterday.
IIoldersshon ed much discouragement and
there was Iiee liquidation in some quarters
both by local prolessionals and for outside
account. On the break there was appaiently
some investment buying, but the chief de
mand was to cover shorts. A good deal of
wheat was sold at 88e and below. The low
est price touched during the season was re
corded and tne close was weak, tnonm
somewhat better than bottom flgui es. May
opened with sales at S6eand S5Je, soon
told at S5c, then rallied to 86Jc, weakened
and sold on" to 85c, and sold at close at 85c,
against fc6Jc at the close yesterday. 'he
local feeling continues bearish and there
was a dood deal of long corn for sale and
geneious short selling.
The situation in corn was also favorable
for the bears and thev used their advantage.
Slay opened 39J33e, weakened to 3SJ4c
leactcd with wheat to 39c, but wexkened
with it again and closed steady at 39c, a
loss of c.
Oats ere dull and easy, closing with a
loss or Jc.
Provisions started with a show of weak
nest, on account of the heavy icceipts and
loner prices for hogs, but grew stiong and
auvancea mainiy on 11 eo covering ny snorts,
and thcie was some reaction. The close
shows slight advances over yesterday's last
quotations.

Evidence That Pittslrarg Values Are lower
Than Those Outside.
1 BRIGHT SPOT IN THE -K0BTHWE5T
"While the local market has not reached
the pitch of activity predicted at the be
ginning of the year, it is in good shape and
improving. Settled weather is the only
thing needed to concentrate the energies of
investors upon this important interest.
The Harrison property, on Penn avenue,
adjoining Kulm's confectionery, East End,
has again changed ownership. It was
purchased by Mr. James P. Quinn a month
or six weeks ago for about $90,000. Mr.
Quinn completed the transfer of it yester
day to an iron manufacturer at a handsome
advance.
It will soon be known whether office
building has been .over estimated in this

largely absorbed by April L Several of the

The scarcity of separate stands is making
them a necessity in this city.
Comparative Values of Realty.
The statement repeatedly made, but al
ways important, that realty is cheaper in
Pittsburg than in any other city in the
country, is backed by solid lacts.
A recent sale in Cincinnati was at the
rate of $70 a square foot. This beats the
best sale here by nearly $10. The Manhat
tan Life Insurance Company has purchased
Nos. 24 to 28 Broadway, New York, for
51,000,000, and will improve it with a 14
story building. The lot has a frontage of 67
feet and a depth of 125 feet The price paid
is equivalent to 715,000 a front foot, or a
trifle over $120 a square foot
A Memphis sale iust closed determines a
valuation on business property in the heart
of that citv. The Louisville and Nashville
Sailroad Company has sold its property,
25x100 feet, on the uortheast corner of Main
and Monroe streets, with building, for 60,
000. The'lot was purchased by the Mem
phis National Bank. This is at the rate of
$2,400 per front foot This is almost up to
values on Fourth avenue and Smithfield
street Bank clearings in Memphis last
week were $4,606,869; in Pittsburg they
were S12. 726.419. With less than half the
business property in Memphis is almost as
high as it is in Pittsburg.
A 160-acre tract in the town of Lvons,
near Chicago, has been sold for $100,000.
The purchaser is Robert Seyd, ot New
York. The property consists "of a quarter
section, lying two miles west of the Stick
ney tract "and the same distance southeast
ot La Grange.
Impressions ot the Northwest,
A gentleman just back from a business
trip to the Northwest said yesterday: "They
have had so many real estate booms in that
part of the country that business has been
overdone. Almost every town of any im
portance'has been oversold and overbuilt.
I was astonished at the number of vacant
houses in Chicago and St. Paul. I wish we
had several hundred of them in Pittsburg,
where it is almost impossible to house all
the people.
"Superior City, at the extreme western
end ot Lake Superior, is more like Pitts
burg in a business point of view than any
other place I visited. It is remarkably
vigorous and is growing beyond precedent
in that quarter. It sustains nearly 150 in
dustrial concerns. It is the headquarters of
the American steel Jtarge company, the
builders of the famous whaleback vessels."
A Request to Brokers.
The Cold water (Mich.) National Bank
was burglarized and robbed ot about $20,000,
consisting of $14,000 in currencv,
$10,000 ot which was in new legal tenders,
$4,000 in gold and $2,000 in silver. The
gold coin found on the floor of the vault
was scratched, marred and bent, and the
paper is probably mangled and scorched, as
the result of the explosion of nitro-glycerine
used in breaking the safe. There were also
taken 40 "deferred" bonds of the Philadel
phia and Beading $1,000 each, numbered
875 to 899 inclnive; 1714 to 1726 inclusive;
and numbers 1733, 1734. President D. B.
Dennis asks brokers to keep an eye open
lor the above.

BEADING, SUG Mt, NEW ENGLAND AND
RICHMOND SHARE-.
The Rest of the Stock Market Lifeless No
Disposition to' Realize The Weakness
In Sugar Affects tho Entire Market
Railroad Bonds Stagnant.
New York, March 15. The continued
diminution in the amount of business done,
and the marked restriction of the dealing to
a few stocks, which are affected by particu
lar circumstances,' Indicates the growing
apathy of the general public to the fluctua
tions in the stock market, and dullness is
fast becoming the most important charac
teiistic of the trading from day to day.
The professionals are again left to make
quotations for the moment, and all the
larger interests seem -to have withdrawn
from the market for the time being.
There is, however, no disposition, even on
the part of the smaller bulls, to realize on
their holdings, but every advance canses
some selling. To day Reading, Sugar, New
England and Richmond and West Point
were the only active features, and the im
portant fluctuations were very few ontside
of these four stocks.
The general list wag dnll throughont the ses
sion and absolutely barren of special feature,
nnd after a steady opening the weakness in
Sugar affected the maiket to the extent that
slight fractional losses from the opening
figures weie the rule. Later in the day, how
ever, the upward movement in the Coalers,
which sent Lackawanna and Jersey Central
np over per cent, effected a recovery in
the rest ot the market, and the final changes
are in almost everv case entirely insignifi
cant. The closo was dull, but steady to firm
at close to last night's flguies. The only im
portant changes comprise a loss of in
Sugar, while Tennessee Coal is up 4 per cent
and New England 1.
The total sales of stocks to-dav -were 295,
617 shares, including Atchison, 3 023: Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western. 4,000: North
western, 3 831; New England, 17,910; Heading,
129560; Richmond and West Point, 39,825; St.
PaiiI, 7,000; Western Union, 4,390.
The railroad bond market, liko that in
stocks, was saved'from utter stagnation by
the activitv In the Richmond and West
Point Ss, which fnrnlshed $555,000 out or a'
total i1,kb,to. xnese Donus, nowever, laiteu
to make any material movement, being held
within a small fraction of last night's price
throughont, while the rest of tho list acted
In the same manner. Final changes are,
therefore, insignificant, oven among the
leading active Issues. The close was quiet
and firm. .

Signs or a Stronger Market Are Detected
Here and There.
Some improvement was noted in financial
circles yesterday. Although small It was im
portant from its bearing upon the future. Any
depletion of piled np wealth is encouraging
as showing that trade Is reviving.
Views of moneylenders wear many hues,
but are generally favorable. One says: "The
ease of money has stimulated tract Ine and
the readiness with which we have been able
to ship gold has given an element of strength
to the maiket, for it has encouraged foreign
buying and checked selling and at the same
time given nn activity to our own market
which wou'd be incompatible with any feel
ing of uncertainty."
Another observes: "There Is a better feel
ing in regard to financial matters. The pros
pect of diminishing gold exports and in
creasing merchandise exports is regarded
favorably." A thlid remarks: "Theoutwaid
movement or gold appears to have ceased
for the present, bnt the late stiffening tend
ency or the foreign exchanges is a warning
or the possible renewal or shipments."
Pittsburg Clearing House report: Ex

shade tho 6 per cent rate is growing less and

market.

A HUMANE SOCIETY 7B0TSBT
Against Using Wagons In the Present Con
dition or Somo Roads.
Petroleum development has about come
to a standstill, on account of the bad condi
tion of the roads. On Monday a teamster
started out and broke the leg of one of his
horses in a chuck hole. This accident com
ing to the attention ot the Humane Society,
one of its agents made an investigation, and
was so strongly impressed with the cruelty
imposed on horses by putting them on the
roads that he ordered wagon transportation
to cease under penalty of prosecution,
and Mr. McCready, an operator, said he
was glad of it, as the struggles of the brutes
were painful to contemplate, and there was
no profit in operations conducted under
such circumstances.
The action of the Humane Society in this
instance is suggestlve.of a reform in road
making Grand juries have in some counties
indicted road supervisors forneglectof duty,
but apparently without accomplishing much
good; but if thoughtless or greedy citizens
are prosecuted lor cruelty in forcing horses
over yawning chasms where only chamois
can travel in safety, it may have the effect
of making them do something for their own
profit At present the cralty granger, in
collusion with the supervisor, shoulders a
long-bandied shovel in the fall of the year,
and digging out the ditches, throws the
earth on the road, and when the floods
descend the road in a few, hours is infinitelv
worse than it would be if no work at. all
were done on it. Such management is not
only wasteful and idiotic but absolutely
criminal.

Country Pboduce (Jobbing Prices)
At the Monday sales of Elgin creamery
butter prices were reduced le per pound.
The reduced rates wll take effect here the
latter part of the week. Eggs have stiff
ened in the past day or two under the In
fluence of light receipts and colder weather.
Poultry is in short supply, ami markets are
firm at quotations. Tropical frnits are on
the advance. Panoy Florida oranges are
very scarce. Malaga crapes are practically
out for this season. The few to be bad arc
in the hands of retailers. The supply of
new maple, syrup is in excess of the demand,
and prices are reduced. It has not oc
curred for many years that new maple
syrnp has started out at such low figures as
it has this season. The low price ofsngar
has no doubt had much to do with the
cheapness of home made sweetening.
Clover seed is firm aud active at thp sharp
advance already noted, and some dealers
anticipate a still fui ther advance.
