THE TRADE OUTLOOK,
A. Better Tone Manifested in Most
Lines of Business and
THE OUTLOOK IS MUCH BRIGHTER.
The Export Demand for Breadstuff Im
proved During the Week.
AN ACTiYE IKQUIRI FOB HARNESS
OrnoE of Thk Dispatch,
riTTSECEQ. Tuesday. April 12. (
While there has not bene any marked im
provement in volume ot trade since the
'month opened, there is an improved tone in
most lines. It is evident that prices have
been down to bed rock for some time past,
and buyers realizing this fact are disposed
to lay up supplies for the future. In hard
ware lines there has been little, if any,profit
to the manufacturer of late. Nail mills
must be run for glory rather than profit
when cut nails are sold at $1 70 per keg
iroin store, and wire nails at 51 90. The
extremely low prices of the past few years
have effectually driven the nail producing
trade from Pittsburg. A "few years ago
Pittsburg was a prominent center in thit
line of manufacture. For the past year or
two our hardware dealers have been receiv
ing their supplies in this line from Wheel
ing, and old-time nail manufacturers of this
city have turned their attention to the pro
duction of articles in which there is some
money. It is difficult to discover where the
profit comes in to the Wheeling manufac
turers of nails at present prices.
In Cereal Lines.
The improved tono of trade is most pro
nounced In the line of breadstuffs. All
through the winter months and up till
the latter part of March, wheat and flour
showed a downward tendency. The short
wheat crops of Russia and Eastern Germany
lRst season were worked by hulls for more
than was in it, and the export demand fell
farbelow general expectations. In tne past
week or two there were signs of revival, and
it is evident that the worst is past. Wheat
and flour, and in fart all cereals, are bring
ing bettor prices than a week ngo. and the
outlook has decidedly improved. The dark
est hour Is just before the dawn, and all
signs point to a better trade at advancing
prices in cereal lines.
The Harness Trade.
One of our foremost manufacturers of
harness in an interview bad this to say:
"Orders are coming in freely, and the out
look lor our business is better than it was a
a ear ayo. Last year was not so good in our
line of trade as was the previous year.
Price of stock is now as low as it has been
for many years. Low grade leather is in
lact lower than it has been for many years.
High grades are little affected by the de
. dining drift of prices. As we handle noth
ing but the best our stock costs little less
than it did a year ago. The outlook for the
year ahead is decidedly good in our line of
trade, and if our volume of business does
not exceed that of last year we will be dis
appointed." The Footwear Ontlook.
The Chicago Side and Leather has this to
say of the situation:
'A better feeling prevails. Possibly the
general warmth of the past week has quick
ened the energies of trade. There is less
talk of lower prices; buyers and sellers
agree moie easily in their figures. Shoe
manufacturers are beginning to pay more
attention to the leather markets, and seldom
allow a bargain to slip by. The most con
servative leather buyers admit that quota
tions are at rock bottom. The tanner evi
dently think likewise, as they are
not in a hurry to sell large
?uantlties at present prices for
uture delivery. The oak, hemlock and
anion sole men ai e becoming more satisfied
at the'demandfor their product. Sides and
backs are being taken steadily by boot, shoe
and cut stock rnanufactuicrs. The latter
report an improvement in the home and for
eign demand. Heavy sole leather seems to
be good property at present.
It is between seasons In boots and shoes,
but salesmen leturncd from the road speak
enthusiastically about the condition ot the
retail shoe merchant. Hides and skins are
quiet and taken as wanted at the low rates
ruling. Tanners are using strong efforts to
buy.on their own terms, but, rather than
miss attractive lots, have paid what holders
asked.

Tallinn Advantage of tha Ilroafc Ho Made
to Bolls Everything in Bight Trade
Light' ia Corn but Heavy In" Oats
Short! In I'rovlaloua,
CiUCiGO-T'o.dny Hr.'raruridge Instead
or attempting to break the price of his favor
ite '73 cant a bushel," took advantage or the
prevailing weakness and purchased steadily
irom morning till ultfut. To-night he
proclaimed that he was safe eutirely out of
the way of tho hulls. All the news seemed
unfavorable for the friends of whoat. Cables
were heavy and lower, domestlb markets
weio tending downward, the export business
was meager and the amount of wheat and
flour showed an increase during the last
week of 808.000 bushels.- Long wheat camo out
freely, and lor a.timo there was very little
demand, and though early dealsof May were
at some advance over Inst night's close, with
sales as high as 80o. the market was
gradually honeycombed with weakness,
andit dld-not take long to getthe price down
to 7330 for May and 79JJ for J uly
The more the Government crop was dis
cussed, the stronger became the conviction
that it is by no means a bullish document.
The coming crop, these people contend,
with the amount to be carried over from the
old crop, will give as much as wo have been
able to find a market tor the past' season,
while the prospect Is that Europe will not
want nearly so much. After the market got
down to 79K there was some reaction,
mainlv on generous covering by the crowd
which s'old short yesterday and this morn
ing, and there was a reaction to 80c, but
it did sot hold, and soon went back to 79?o.
At 12 o'clock May wheat was about 8i,c.
During the last hour May wheat sold up to
Soke but sparingly at that, and soon sold off,
going to 79c. The close was 79c, orjio
under the final figures of yesterday.
The farn trade was rather light. The
tendency was downward, in sympathy with
n,n riAtivAcairm in wheat. Mav corn was rel
atively weaker than July, the former clos
ing with a decline of Jf c and the latter vir
tually at the same price as on the day ue
loie. In oats the offerings were more liberal.
Thepiice was lower, but on the declines
there was good buying and prices rallied
slinhtly from the Inside.
The market for provisions closed a shade
lower and consisted only In the main of
transactions between a prominent opeiator
who was seiimgana a leauing pacKing uouse.
The opening was steady, but the market
fell off in response to the weakness in wheat,
and then fluctuated with it. There was
considerable changing over from May to
July by the country at 12J difference in
favor of the latter. The reason of the nar
rowness of the carrying charges as com
pared with a year ago, when it was 40 cents,
is said to be that there is a large short in
teiest out. The main cause for the weak
ness in this market is claimed to be a gen
eral reeling that the receipts of llvo hogs
from now until the end of May will be quite
large.
There was a fair demand for vessel room
and very llsht offerings. Rates were 2c for
wheat and IKc tor corn to Buffalo.

fielcLAYenne Districtt
A CONTRACT LET FOR TEN HOUSES.
That for the Newsboys' Permanent Home
Will Be .Awarded Saturday.
HDSTLIKG ON MARSHALL ATE.NDH
The Schenley Park Land Company yes
terday let the contract for 10 good-class
dwellings on its plan in the Greenfield ave
nue district, Twenty-third ward. They will
cost close to $20,000. By the terms of the
contract work will be commenced immedi
ately, and the houses finished early' in July.
A large force of workmen is engaged in
grading four streets passing through this
and Senator Flinn's plan, where" 65 houses
are in course of construction. These streets
are Lydia, Gertrude, Alma and Stanley.
Winterburn avenue, Coleman and'Hoosack
streets are also being fixed up. Everything
is ready for the cars to run on Greenfield
avenue.
Two Contracts to Be Let
The contract for the erection of the
Newsboys' Home will be let by Architect
J. "W. Offerman next" Saturday. The same
architect will also let at the same time the
contract for alterations in the art gallery
of the Exposition building. It will be con
verted into a music hall. Mr. Offerman is
preparing plans for a Catholic church at
Connellsville to replace the one recently
destroyed by fire. It will cost 575,000.
Hustling on Marshall Avenntt.
The Tenth ward, Allegheny, is full of i m
provement schemes, many of which will
materialize before the end of summer. Lots
are selling rapidly, and to reinforce the
supply between 30 and 40 acres have re
cently been plotted. Building is very
active. Marshall avenue is the coming
thoroughfare in this district. It will be
widened to 60 feet from Perrysville avenue
to the Brighton road and to 40 feet from the
Brighton road to California avenue. The
assurance of this improvement has already
strengthened land values. The last re
ported sale, that of a large building site,
was at the rate of $40 a foot front. Among
many handsome residences on Marshall ave
nue may be mentioned those of Thomas M.
Marshall, Sr., Prof. Barris, A. C. Johnston,
Esq., B. B. Scandrett, Esq., and Prof.
James Morrow. It was the theater of stir
ring events during the Civil War. Port
McKeever is still in a good state of preser
vation, and the rifle pits are in much the
same condition as when they were formed,
to repel the Morgan raiders.

STOCKS AT A STANDSTILL.
EVEN THE USUALLY ACTIVE STOCKS
MOVE SLUGGISHLY.
Sugar, With an Advance of 1 Per Cent, Is
lh Only Material Change Consolidated
Gas Gains, bat Manhattan Loses New
England Yields Also.
New York, April 12. To-day's stock mar
ket was at a standstill. Even the In leading
active stocks, which Included New England,
the Coalers and Western Union, the move
ments were confined to an unusually narrow
range, and in only one or two did the price
vary 1 per cent from that of the opening.
The announcement that some stock of the
Delaware and Hudson had been transferred
to the New York Central' managers opened
that stock up over 1 per cent, while the im
provement In Richmond and West Point was
lost in the early dealings. Considerable
strength was shown in Sugar, and later In
the day in Coal stocks; but in none of these
was the advance wholly retained, and the
continnal tendency in both the weak stocks
and the strong ones was to return to the
level of the opening.
The late trading was marked by consider
able bear pressure on the graders, and es
pecially St. Paul and Burlington; but the at
tempt resulted la nothing but small frac
tional losse. whiclu were afterward re
gained. Consolidates Gas rose lper cent;
but, on the other hand, Manhattan lost an
othor slice of its late advance. The raid
was said to be by the bear leader, Dnt the
effect upon the rest of the list was imper
ceptible, and, while the late dealings In
many directions developed a drooping ten
dency, the result was nothing further than
the usual insignificant fluctuations. New Eng
land, which had been one of the early strong
spots, yielded at this time, but the market,
as a whole, closed dull and steady at irregu
lar and insignificant changes for the day.
Sugar was the one stock which scored a ma
terial change, being up 1 per cent.
The total Bales of stocks to-day were 203,
807 shares, including: Atchison, 7,2?5: Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western. 9,890: Dela
ware and Hudson. 4.625; Erie, 6,610; Lonisvillo
and Nashville, 7 400: Manhattan, 3,430; Mis
souri Pacific, 3,490: Northern Pacific prefer
red. 5,360; New England, 19.3S0; Reading, 27,
250: Richmond and West Point, 5,035; St. Paul,
19.6S0; Union Pacific, 3,500: Western, 8,150.
Railway bonds, like stocks wero without
special feature to-day, and while the amount
of business done was rather more propor
tionately than in stocks, theie wore no ac
tive issues and no material changes among
the leading prominent bonds. The temper
was throughout firm. The Reading issues'
are all fractionally hotter, and the same may
be said of the list as a whole.
The following table chows the price of active
stocks on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday.

Country Banks Have the Same Trouble as
City Institution.
The local money market made no material
departure yesterday from ordlnury con
dltlons. Counter business was good, but the
amount of paper offered for discount was
small. This seems to be the case every
where. Interior banks are seeking a market
in the city for their idle funds. The interest
rate was easy 6 per cent. Bank clearings
were $2,235,170.60 and balances 525,865.95.
ic Philadelphia banker is thus quoted:
Mercantile and manufacturing concerns
have now in use their ordinary resources,
iiiey have not bad a big business revival
simply by reason of tho fact that the farm
ers, havine- pnid off debts, are waiting to
market theirsurplus of 1891 crons before in
dulging in rural extravagances." It will then
be that the money spent in country towns
and villages lor goods (and not debts) will
find Its way into the pockets of city mer
chants, who in turn will call on the furnaces,
factories and mills for fresh stocks of pro
ducts. When business men reach the latter
8,a,Rc their additional money requirements
will have to bo snpplied, andnot until then."
At New 1 ork, yesterday, money on call
was easy at 1 to 2 per cent: last loan. 2;

weie lo lower yesterday than here, and at
Cincinnati markets were weak at 3o per
dozen lower than here. Poultry has weak

The Curtain Going Down "With Too Much
Realistic Red Fire.
Eppino, N. H., April 12. Specta. Thebit
ter crnsade against the liquor de.ilers which
has been In progress for some time
past terminated to-day in an attempt to
cremate Rev. W. P. Clancey and his faunly,
some incendiary having set fire to the par
sonage and barn. The minister and his 1am
ily barely escaped. Mr. Clancey has
been the leader in the crusade against
the rum traffic, and the warfare com
menced by the pastor against the liquor
dealers has been continued ever since, not
withstanding the open threats made
aeainst him by those engaged In the liquor
traffic. So fierce and bitter did the feeling
become that about two months ago an at
tempt was made to burn tho church, bnt the
fire was discovered and extinguished beforo
it gained headway.
A few days afterward a notice was found
pasted on the church stating that the parish,
could eithergetrid of the obnoxious pastor
or lose its church. Very little attention was
paid to this, for it was thought that no such
measures would be carried out. Recently
the parish meeting was held, and
Rev. Mr. Clancey was chosen
to preside over the churon for mother year.
This seems to have enraged his enemies, for
since that time there have been several
warnings of impending trouble sent to tho
members of the parish, but no notice was)
taken ot them. Yeiterday the threats-were
carried out. There is great excitement la
town.
