!THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, "WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 189a 11 THE TRADE OUTLOOK. High Grade Harness Leather Strong ' and Low Grade Sluggish. THE CLOVER SEED BOOM CHECKED. Canned Tomatoes and Peaches Give Promise to Go Up Higher. TEIALS OP KEWSPAPER REPORTERS Oftice or the DisrATCH, J Pittsbdrq, Tuesday, March 22. ( Fred Linke.of the firm of Linke ft Woehfel, Allegheny, harness leather tanners, returned on Sunday from a two weeks tour through the Northwest. In an interview with this editor yesterday Mr, Llnke had this to say of the harness leather trade: "ily trip was very satisfactory, and I had no trouble placing all the goods In my line that I bad on hand and some orders ahead, which I will not be able to fill for some weeks. The harness leather trade throughout the Xorthwest Is in a healthy condition, and in all the States and cities dependent on that trade, business was active and prices were firm. In the South west and the States depending on that sec tion, trade was not so good, and it was not so easy to place orders, as in the States further North. Harness leather of first quality does not need to go begging for customers, but low grades are hard to sell at any price. This is a time of close margins and small profits, but good goods are in de mand all the time" Canned Goods. One of our leading brokers in line of canned goods bad this to say of trade: "Trade in our line has not been as profitless these many seasons as it is this season. Last year being a great fruit and vegetable year stock was laid in at unusually low prices, and empty jars and cans were called into requi sition by farmers and gardeners in osder to store away their surplus products. As a re sult countiy merchants are ordering very lightly this spring. The farmer is enabled to draw from his cellar instead of from the village store and canned goods have not been so depressed this half dozen years as now. There has been a firmer market tor peaches and tomatoes the past week or two, and nrnsnects are that canned tomatoes will go higher. Other canned goods are steadier this week than last. In Seed Lines. The boom in clover seed which raised prices to $S 40 per bushel has come to a stand still, and markets are 10c to 15c below the highest point reached a week or two ago. A leading salesman had this to say of tho situation: "There is an unusual scarcity of clover seed this season and prices are tully $2 a bushel above what they were a year ago at this time. Farmers did not buy so freely of late owing to high prices and cold weather, which prevented planting. A lew warm days will bring buyers to the front and it is certain that prices cannot go lower for the reason that there is an unusual icarcity in the land. Once weather will permit ofplowing and planting, I leel snre mat nigner prices ior ciover secu win oe established." A Flea for Newspaper Reporters. Don't think it is at all funny to tell a re porter when he calls upon you on business, things that are not so; nor is it good policy to tell him things you do not wish to see in print. He docs not make a call upon you, in nine cases out of ten, for the fun of it. With him it is a matter of business. If you have any information to furnish, either tell him lrankly what you have to say, or he wants to kuow, or declare your unwillingness to fcay anything. The average reporter, if treated honestly, will accord yon equally honest tieutrnent. What you have to say will be accurately reported, but, lor heaven's sake don't youreir be guilty of some act of meanness or stupidity, and then seek to lay the blame on the shoulders of the unoffending reporter, hose only fault was in believing what you said to be the truth. This advice fits men and women in every walk in life Haverhill Bulletin. LIVE STOCK MARKETS. Becelpts, Shipments and Prices at East Llb- ertj and Other Stock Tards.

Bulls Get a Chance to Save Their Bacon , Only Just Before the Close in Wheat The European War Scare Ha tome Opportune Effect. CHICAGO This was a day the short sell ers reveled in. The discouraged longs in wheat also sold freely. Near the close, how ever, indefinite war talk and colder weather expected for to-morrow Tebabilitated the bulls to a greater or less extent, and the close for May was but He under that of last night. Nearly every phase of the wheat sit uation had a bearish coloring in tho morn ing, and a number 'of the most stubborn .holders lost their backDone. The Liverpool market was reported to be d lower and dull at the decline There was only one lit tle speck of bullish statistical information near the opening tho amount on ocean passage showed a decrease of 784,000 bushels, out even that point was almost obliterated by an increase of 566,000 bushels for the week in English supplies in excess of their re quirements. Private cables reported prices 3f marks lower in Berlin, and Paris gave a little shove with a 20-centtme decline. -Be tween the unloading and the hammering, prices at once took the down grade. -Nearly all the buying of the day was by shorts. May wheat opened very weak at c lower than last night at 83c; steadied Itself after a total decline of iy,c; recovered and closed He lower than yesterday. The public closing cables showed less weakness than the pri vate dispatches had prepared the crowd to expect. The corn market did not participate in the bearish feeling. Becelpts were heavy, but not up to the estimates. With the prevail ing weather threatening once more the break up of country roads, was coupled the declaration that very little cribbed had yet reached railroad stations, and that dimin ished receipts might now be looked for. There was talk also of deferred planting and prolonged dry feeding. The trading was largely of the scalping order, and there was some free short selling and realizing during the last hour. May opened at S8c, about last nhrht's closing price; outsold hen York gradually to 28ic: eased off some, and at noon was 3Sc; touched SSJo later, closing steady at 3SJe&Jc Oats weie quiet and weak early, but re covered when corn began to show strength. May sold at 27c, the closing price of yester day, falling off 27Vc. The market then fully recovered, and during the last hour was very steady at2Sc, the closing figure. Hog products were stronger, mainly on the fact that the receipts of live hogs fell 10,000 head below tho estimate, and that prices at the yards were 510c higher. Tho firmness in corn also helped. Eibs were ex ceptionally strong, closing at 12c advance. Pork, too, closed at a gain of 12c over last night, and lard at 7c. Tlie leading futures range as follows, as corrected by John M.

SOME BIG CONTRACTS AWARDED. Last Act in the Hardscrabble Deal bj the Pennsylvania Eailroad. FEATURES OF HONE! AND SPECULATION It may be a source, of encouragement to some to compare the real estate outlook to day with the prospects of a year ago. Then the financial situation was critical and con fidence was weak. Many predicted a heavy decline in values This caused buyers to hold aloof. Owners were uncertain as to the course the market would take. The result was a period of extreme dullness.' This is not the situation to-day. There is a plethora of money. Investors are feeling the heavy weight of idle funds The bond market is active and strong. The city has shown its ability to resist any ordinary pressure. There is a good inquiry lor realty and a good volume of sales consider ing weather and roads Confidence is strong in the continned prosperity of the cily. Big Contracts Awarded. Material progress is the life of Pittsburg and its surroundings and the establishment of new industries or enlargement of old ones is a matter of supreme interest. The Chambers Glass Company has just let con tracts covering upward of $400,000 for work on their plant at Kensington. Hoover, Hughes & Co. were awarded $100,000 for the flattening and cutting house; Corcoran & Connell, $200,000 for clay and tank house buildings, and the Dixon-Wood Company $110,000 for furnaces, E. a McLain & Co. will furnish 1,500,000 firebrick. The flattening and cutting house is 750x160 feet in dimensions The walls are up and the roof is being put on by the Keystone Bridge Company. By the terms of the contracts all of these works must be completed by April 20. This will be the largest estab lishment of the kind in the world. Progress is equally marked in other direc- J nuns. jliic x illbuurg iicuulmuu uuuijjaiij', manufacturers of aluminum, on the same ground, will at once increase its capacity by the erection of a rolling mill, the cost of which will be about $100,000. The Bradley Stove Company will erect an additional foundry, doubling the capacity of the works Strawbridge & Beaver will enlarge their tin plate works by the addition of a hot mill for the conversion ol Dlooms and billets into sheets tor tinning. An Old Deal Revived. The deal between the Pennsylvania Bail road and Jlrs. Schenley, through her agents, "W. A. Herron & Sons, was reported in the local columns of The Dispatch about three months ago. The deed has just been recorded, bringing the transaction up again. The tale included all of Mrs Schenley's holdings in the Hardscrabble district, and the object of the purchase was to secure a Elace for yards, shops, etc, lor the Pan andle Bailroad. 'Ihe consideration, as noted at the time, was $163,000. The prop erty is valuable for the use to which it will be put, and lor that reason brought a good price, but for any Other purpose except manufacturing, perhaps, it is about the roughest lot ol ground in Pittsburg. One of the best results of the transaction will be the moral reformation of the district. Special Features of Trade. Judging from the beating of the popular pulse, Wilklnsburg will vote ln favor of sewering Nine Mile run. Mr. C L. Straub will this spring build five modern houses on the corner of Black and Beech streets, Nineteenth ward. Black & Baird yesterday rented 35 houses to new tenants In addition quite a number'or Iqasos wore renewed. Baxter, Thompson & Co., reported aulte a scramble for small and medium-sized dwellings At Washington, Pa., 60 shares of First National Bank stock belonging to the Bar ter estate were sold on Monday, at prices ranging from (123 to S123 25 rer share.

Long yesterday bought $16,000 Pleas ant Valley branch lines 5s at a price approx imating par. This closes out the present issue. At the last call yesterday (3,000 Switch and Signal bonds were put up for a quotation, but there was no bid. Oil dropped to a point yesterday which sui passed all its former.Tccent efforts in that direction. Producers and traders are alike anxious to know how much lower it will go. Railroad earnings for March are coming in with good results. Eighty-seven roads for the past week report $766,144 increase, or 1L62 per cent.

HEABING THE TTJBNIHG POINT. A Local Banker Discerns Signs of Im provement in Monetary Matters. The local money market yesterday was about as uninteresting as usual. The old story of light demand and abundant supply was repeated. If there was any.change at all It was for the better. There was no vari ation in the rate. Boutlne business was good, showing that general trade is healthy. Bank clearings were $2,388,161 35, and balances, $503,382 49. A bank officer remarked: "If there be any truth in the old theory that a plethoric money market stimulates trade, this year should be the best ever known, for never be fore were funds so plentiful.

Bank Stock Goods Scarce. There was not nuch snap in Stock Ex change business yesterday. There appeared to be plenty of orders, but they were hard to execute, holders Delng disposed to watch and wait a little longer. So far the bears have been repulsed at almost every point, impressions made one day disappearing the next. Althouzh business slowed down consider ably, values were stiff almost without ex ception. Underground Cable was stronger on the announcement of a quarterly divi dend, of iy per centpayable April 15. Cen tral Traction improved Its position still further on the favorable .decision of the Supreme Court. Pittsburg finished half a point higher than the opening. There was ' not much ' change in the rest of this group. OldElectrio was stimu lated by Eastern buying. Switch and Signal added a good fraction to Its credit. Phila delphia Gas was weak, and Plpeage, Char tiers and Wheeling about steady, as was Air brake. The most notable advance of tho day was ln Farmers' Deposit National Bank, which rose to 660 bid.

Lively Bidding for Heading Pullman nd Ohio Southern Active ln the Afternoon Good Trading on Both Sides of tho Ac count Bonds Active. New York, March 22. The transactions in the stock market to-day, so far as the gen eral list is concerned, were still of the same professional character and 01 the same hand-to-mouth order, but the operations were en livened by a few more features than usual for tho past few days and the business done was more evenly distributed. The manipu lation of Sugar still continued. The upward movement in tho common stock continued until it had actually crossed the preferred, but the latter afterward moved forward and remained slightly above the common. This movement was not without its influ ence on railway stocks. For a time there was lively bidding for Beading, and in the resultant rise Jersey Central and Delaware and Hudson fully sympathized, though the transactions in each of flieni were extremely small. Simultaneously with this latter ad vance, the execution of a few buying orders in Lake Shore caused a sharp upward move ment In that stock, which extended nearly to 3 per cent, while Michigan Central rose to 113 from 110, and Canada Southern rose over 1 per cent. These advances called out stock and caused a material reaction from the ben figures in those stocks. The Grangers were rather more prominent ln the afternoon, but their movements were not so marked as those in the stocks men tioned and a few of the specialties, among which Pullman and Ohio Southern were the more marked. The reactions from the best figures were generally made up again in the afternoon, except in Michigan Central, the buying being for both sides of the account and the movement seneral. Tho opening of the market was made at insignificant changes from last night's fig ures, and the upward movement met with no check except in the partial reactions noted among the leading shares. The gen eral list; as a rule, closed at tbe hignest prices, tbe market being quiet but firm at the improvement. The material advances comprise Ohio Sonthern, 5; Sugar, 3; the preferred, IK: Pullman, 2-JJ; Jersey Central, 2? Delaware and Hudson, lis. and Burlington. f Lake Shore, Beading and Michigan Central, each 1 percent. The total sales of stocks to-day were 295, 903 shares, including: Atchison, 4,200; Can ada Southern, 5,130: Chicago Gas, 13,480; Erie, 4,110: Lake Shore, 27,000; Louisville and Nash ville, 3,300; Northwestern, 16,455: Northern Pacific preferred, 4,520; Heading, 82,762; Rich mond and West Point, 8,900; St. Paul, 20,300; Union Paoiflc, 3,156; Western Union, 5,000. Rnllwnv bonds were also a little more, ani mated to-day, aud while only tbe Richmond and West Point Trust 5 s and tbe Reading firsts, incomes, showed any special activity, the total dealings were $1,485,000, the two issues mentioned supplying $358,000 and $229, 000, respectively. The temper of the market was niin firm, however, without any marked, movements, even among the lead ing bonds; and while prices are generally higher this evening, the gains are, as a rule, insignificant.

'I heard one once with Bar num,' he said. Then when, a street car passed us be wanted to know what made the bells ring. Either he is very green or he is insane.

The amount of stock in the hands of our jobbery is unusually light. Country roll butter is in short supply, and the choice stock is selling close up to cream ery prices. Eggs are coming in freely and markets are barely steady at quotations. A day or two of mild weather will bring prices to a lower level.
