riTTSBUKO, TUESDAY, April 5.
There are at this date no busier trades
men in this city than are the dealers in
seeds and farm and garden implements.
The rough weather of Maich delayed the
movement in this line, and now there is
such a rush that dealers are unable to meet
the orders. A leading operator in this line
had this to say: "We are a week behind
land in filling orders for plows, harrows,
wagons and other seasonable agricultural
ntensils and are unable to get the goods from
the factories that are needed. The farmers
of this section are certainly in good shape, if
we are to judge from their readiness to secure
the Terr best implements to be had. There
has not been any opportunity to break up
the ground until this week, and farmers are
now bent on making np for the time lost by
the unfavorable weather of March. Our
trade thus iar has been much larger than it
was at this stage a year ago, and from pres
ent outlook we 'eel confident that this April
will show much larger results than last
ApriL"
The Dryroods Trade.
According to reports of wholesalers there
was a more active movement in thi line
iu uic montn oi jceoruary man in
March. Taking the two months together,
volume of trade was larger than ior the
corresponding period of last year. With
the improved weather of the past week,
April promises to more than make up for
the quietness of March. In all departments
or tho jobbing trade tlicro is unusual
activity the past day or two, and salesmen
are so busy that they can scarcely find time
to tell the anxious leporter in search of
news what is proing on.
A sympathizing representative of one of
our leading firms came to the rescue of a
despairing reporter to-dav and took time to
say this much: "Our April trade promises
to be larger than it has been for the same
month any previous season. Already we
at e placing fall orders for blankets, com
forts and underwear. These orders are com
ing in lrom as far West as Indiana, as far
South as Kentucky, North to James
town, X. T.. and East to Al
toona and Cumberland." Tho time was
when Tittsburg drycoods merchants iere
content to cultivate the trade within a rad
ius ol 100 miles. That time has passed. Now
our enterprising merchants are contesting
with Cincinnati and Cleveland on the West,
Buffalo on the Xorth and Philadelphia and
Baltimore on the East, and goods arc being
sold right along by Tittsburg merchants oa
the very borders of these cities.
e Cigarette Statistics.
Tho Boston Herald ljas been gathering
some statistics in regard to the increased
manufacture of cigarettes dnring the last 14
years, which are of special interest in view
of the recent agitation in the State Legisla
ture for a law entirely prohibiting their sale
in Massachusetts, From a minufactnre in
1S7S of less than 240,000,000 a year In the United
States, the number lias increased, until now
the total is almost 3,000,000,000 per year, the
flsuies lor all the years since 1S78 showing
almo-t a steady growth, notwithstanding
the laws that have been passed in many of
the States restricting the sale of tobacco in
this form such restrictions being chiefly in
the form of laws forbidding the sale of cigar
ettes to minors. From the rapid increase
that has been shown, it is to be feared that
such restrictions have been of the kind that
do not restrict.
cniCAGO Owing to the local election,
there was no legular session of the Chicago
Board of Trade to-day, but thero wasuite
a liberal attendance of operators on the
curb. While not much business was trans
acted, pi ices were generally a shade higher,
the trading being confined almost entirely
to wheat. May sold nt "ST$Mc, and at 1
o'clock was about 79c. Cables weB slow
and weak, but outside domestic markets,
where trading was going on as usual, wera
reported higher. This fact, with the stormy
complaints received frqm the Northwest as
to the backwardness of seeding, and the
statement that the amount of wheat and
flour on ocean passage decreased EOS 000
bushels dm ing the past week and corn 112 -000
bushels, caused the firmness. A consid
erable decrease was also repoited in the
English visible supply.

The Drygoods Market.
New Yoek, April 5. Business in drygoods
was without decided new features. Alon"
n ith a moderate trade by mall orders and on
the spot, thi-re was more interest in regard
to futuies; yet the latter did not disclose any
actual transactions of moment. Some
descriptions of dressgoods, blankets and
underwear have had attention. The market
was unchanged in tone. There seems to be
more confidence as to values. The Jobbing
trade was fair, and was enlivened by a drive
in Dresden cloth, a popular gingham at TJJc

Vive Record Breakers.
Xarge transactions iu real estate are not
unusual in this "neck of the woods." Some
of them would be considered of prime im
portance in cities of the first magnitude in
population. Sales amounting to $100,000
or over are by no means an every-day oc
currence in New York, and are still rarer in
Chicagc There have been halt a dozen
such in Pittsburg within the last few
months, and three within a week.
There is no disputing the claim of W. A.
Herron & Sons that the sale oi the Leonard
and the Fourth ward school properties to
Joseph Home & Co. for 500,000, conducted
by them, is the largest transaction in real
estate ever made in this city. The next
largest sale was that of the Central Hotel to
the Messrs. Kaufmann for 5350,000. Mr. C.
H. Love was the agent in this transaction.
The next in order was that of Samuel W.
Black & Ca of 35 acres at Glenwood to
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for some
thing over $200,000. Then follows the
purchases by Senator Flinn and associates
in the Twenty-third ward, through the
agency of Ira M. Burchficld, aggregating
about $200,000. The ground upon which
the Magee building stands cost about 5170,
000. It was sold through'the Black & Baird
agency.
Each of these transactions has had or
will have an important bearing upon the
material development of the city. The im
provement of their Penn avenue purchase,
as contemplated by Messrs. Home & Ca,
will be the entering wedge to a much-needed
and long-wished-for revolution in the ex
treme downtown portion of the city. .r

The residents along Perrysville avenne,
Allegheny, are throwing off their Bip Van
AVinkleism, and are awaking to the fact
that if they do not wish to be left out iu the
cold they must improve the condition of
that great Northside artery. Yesterday
viewers .met for the purpose of assessing
benefits and damages, and it is to be hoped
that there will be no conflicting interests to
cause delay. Frequent meetings of prop
erty owners are being held at the Hill
school to urge on the work. 'Citizens realize
the fact that unless they evince enthusiasm
in this enterprise Councils may be lax in
the matter. People who daily wade in the
mud perhaps do not realize the advantage of
a ciean, dry road on which to travel.
btrangers, however, see it afa glance.

RAMPANT BULLS CHECKED.
A VERY CONFIDENT FEELING EARLY
ON WALL STREET.
i
Buying Orders From London Traders
Bush to Cover The Veto of tho Rend
ing Bill In Now Jersey Has a Bad
Effect Bonds Lively.
New Yore, April 5. Tho stock market to
day started off with a rush for higher prices,
but the force was insufficient to surmount
the restraining elements and the advance
was effectually checked for the time being.
There was a more confident bullish feeling
in the street than has been seen for some
time this morning, and the encouraging ad
vices from abroad were supplemented by
the buying orders from London and the con
tinent, and the tradeis were forced to coyer
liberally in the early dealings. The advance,
however, met with a spirited rosistenco
from tho bear element, and tho early trad
ing was not only extremely active but fever
ish, with some declines from the opening
prices.
Tho covering of shorts, with the buying
for the London account, stimulated by the
encouraging outlook, again forced prices
upward, though no rapid rise was seen.
Th& news of the refusal of the Governor of
NewJersevto sign the bill legalizing the
Reading combination, however, effectually
put a stop to the new buying, though, as
usual of late, there was shown no disposi
tion to part with stocks acauired, but only a
halt in the buying movement. The Coal
stocks weie apparently little affected by the
news, though both Jersey Central and Dela
ware and Hudson fell away materially, but
this was to be expected after their late ma
terial advances.
Reading, while remaining very active,
was well supported aiound 55, and Lacka
wanna showed no movement whatever.
Liquidation iu New England was started,
and Richmond and West Point was sold
heavily, tho common stock, for the first
time since the November panic, selling
below 10. The preferred stock dropped 6
per cent to oa, auu tue uuuus were corre
spondingly depressed. The effect of these
movements on the lest of the market, how
ever, were comparatively slight, and while
the upward movement was checked no seri
ous decline was seen outside of the few
stocks mentioned; and while the eaily ad
vances were in most cases wiped out, the
gains at tho opening were retiined until
very late in tne dav, when some concessions
were made, owing to the steady and persist
ent pressure of the leaders. Now England
especially displayed the most pronounced
weakness, in tv hlch the whole list sympa
thized for the time being. Tho character of
the trading in the rest of tho list may be
judged from the fact that Erie fluctuated
only Ji and St. Paul only per cent for the
dnv.
The market Anally closed fairly active and
rather heavy at close to the opening prices,
despite a slight rally in the flijal dealings.
The list Is gonerally slightly changed from
last njght's figures, but Riolimond and West
Pointrpreferrod Is down 4 and the common
only 'ft New England, 2, and Sugar, .
The total sales of stocks to-day were 361.-
8S0 shares, including Atchison, 15,200; Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western, 8 330; Dela
ware and Hudson, 2,750; Erie, 11,375; Hock

ing, 121.960: Richmond and West Point, 18,367;
St. Paul, 32.020; Union Pacific, 9,071.
Railway bonds were n trifle more animated
to-day and the dealings showed more
breadth, while a firm temper marked the
business throughout the day. The final
changes, howevel, are of the usual insignifi
cant order, thougu Richmond and West
Point 5s are down 2 at 55, the 6s not being
traded in. Other changes wore slight.

Not Taken Oat by Borrowers Fast Enough
to Suit.
Ordinary lines of business at the city
banks showed considerable animation yes
terday, but there was no pressure from bor
rowers. The fact of so much business on so
small an amonnt of no w paper is a puzzle to
some. Cash sales must be unusually numer
ous. The interest rate remained nt 6 per
cent Bank clearings wero $2,400,786 59 and
balances $638,893 31.
A New York banker is thus quoted: "It
must not be forgotten that the investing
Eubllo moves.slowly and theie has not yet
con time for anything more than a specula
tive movement which has not materialized.
It Is to be noted that the supply of monej- is
so large that the Apiil settlements have
passed witbont producing any appreciable
effect, even temporarily, upon tho rates of
intoiest."
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy at 1K2 per cent; last loan, 2, closed

THE HOME MARKETS.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
There were no sales on Tuesday'3 call at
the Grain Exchange. Receipts, as bulletined,
22 cars. By Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chi
cago Railway 3 cars of bay, 3 of oats, 1 of
barley. By Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St.
Louis 2 cars of bran, Q of corn, 4 of oats, 4
of hay. The Chicago Grain Exchange not
being in session to-dayi there were no point
ers to dealers here, and, as a result, markets
were spiritless. So far as any signs appeared
the drift of cereal markets showed a down
ward tendency. Wheat and rye are lower,
as our quotations will reveal. Flour is quiet
in sympathy with the declino or wheat.
Jobbers who are well stocked up with flour
at prices of a month ago will find it difficult
to come out even. Hay and millfeed aio
slow, with markets In favor of buyers.

Adopt a Waiting Policy.
Stock trading was again dull yesterday,
and prices developed a retiring disposition.
There weie more sellers than buyers. A de
sire to realize was apparent throughout the
day.
Tho apathy and weakness were attributed
by some to the passing of dividends by the
Manchester Traction and Wheeling Gas
Companies, bnt a better l oason may be found
in the fact that local investors aro carrying
as heavy a burden of stocks as they can
well afford, and are holding off until they
can unload.
Tho weakest features wero Central Trac
tion, Birmingham Traction und Luster. Tho
former sold down to 30, and was bid as low
as 30 at tho last call. Birmingham sold down
to 26, and alter the final call was offered still
lower. Duquesne was offered at 27. Phila

At the Monday sales at Elgin, creamery
butter was reduced 3c per pound below the
prices of the previous Monday, and, while
the drop is not due here until the latter
part of the week, it has already, had the
effect of weakening markets. As there was
a light stock in the hands of our jobbers,
the reduction will entail very little loss, if
any. Country rolls of choice quality have
not shared in the downward movement of
creamery. The supply of eggs has been
short since the middle of last week, and
markets are firm at the advance already
noted. Produce merchants report quiet
ness all along the line. The old stock of
vegetables is being steadily displaced by
new stock. The new Is in fair demand.
Tropical fruits of choice quality are in fair
demand.

Two Families Smashing Each Other's Sa
loons and Beads Near Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, April 5. A family feud
exists in the hamlet of Central Covington,
which adjoins Covington, Ky., on the
south, and promises to equal some in the
mountain counties of the State. The con
tests between the Basse3 on one side and
the Staggenborgs on the other, broke out
last Saturday at the election, when the
Buss family, father and sou, assaulted Mar
shal Lambert, whom they charged with
favoring the Staggenborgs. Pnysicians say
Lambert's life is iu danger.
Last night the Staggenborgs were out for
revenge, and the Buss men were in hiding.
A brother-in-law of one of the Buss family,
Air. a enn, was tound at his saloon and fear
fully beaten and his saloon practically de
molished. Another brother-in-law's saloon
was visited, but the occupant was not
found, and that saloon, also, was broken
np. At the third saloon the owner was pre
pared for them and the attackers withdrew.
Feeling is running high, and threats of re
taliation to-night are freely made.
An Important Difference.
To make it apparent to thousands, who
think themselves ill, that they are not af
fected with any disease, bat that the system
simply needs cleansing, is to bring comfort
home to their hearts, as a costivo condition
is easily cmed by using Syrup or Figs.

BELTS SENT W. FOE EX3HIUTI0H.
In view of the fact that many persons who
desire to procure genuine Electric Bel ts ha e
applied to different companies for informa
tion, and are undecidedas to which have tho
best goods, we suggest that you order from,
each company the belt you wish to see, sent
by express, C O. D., with privilege of exam
ination. When the belts have arrived at
your express office examine them, and if you
find one better than ours, simply ask the c-c-piess
agent to return onrs to us. All we ask
is that you send us 50 cents with your order
to partially coertho express charges, and
to protect us against merely cnrioii3 persons
who have no idea of buying abclt bu t simplv
want to see one. The 50 cents will be de
ducted lrom price of belt if it is accepted.
We think this proposition a fair one to all
concerned, for of course, a buyer wants tho
best for his money, and it is a great pleasaro
to ns to bave our goods examined and com
pared with others before bought. Send for
illu-.trated pamphlet, mailed, scaled, free.
