Pittsburg, Tuesday, April 26.
Said one of our foremost harness manu
facturers, in a recent "interview: "The
principal objection to the harness leather
produced by the tanners of Allegheny is
that it is too lasting. Within a few days I
saw a set of harness still in use which 1
made more than 25 years ago. The average
life of the harness I make from the products
of the Allegheny tanners is little less than
15 years. My trade calls for first-class
stock, and in the end it is best both for the
buyer and myself to workup the best." The
harnessmaker, who gave expression to these
sentiments, paid to an Allegheny tanner
for leather furnished in the month of March,
55,000, and his average monthly payments
are close to $3,000. There has been an effort
of late to depreciate the value of the prod
nets ot Allegheny harness leather tanner
ies, because the product is wheel-stuffed.
Hand-stuffed leather. It is claimed, is or su
perior qualitv and greater durability. There
aio above 10,000 sides of harness leather
turned out weekly ly the seven,tannenes in
operation in Allegheny, and of this amount
not over 500 sides aro hand-stuffed. All No.
1 stock is moving out freely, and most of the
tanners report orders ahead on this grade of
poods. B grades are less active and some
accumulation is reported in this line, and, as
a resnlt, there lias been, a slight concession
in prices of late.
Breadstuff Heavy.
Flour jobbers have not had a smooth time
since the lastabundant crops were garnered.
The general drift of markets since last fall
lias been downward, and this has necessarily
placed the dealer who handles large stocks
in a very difficult position. One of our fore
most jobbers of flour had tins to siv of trade
in this line: "Oar bniness requires us to
tepp on hand a large quantity of stock, and,
w itl markets weak and declining, as they
have been for tho past six months, wo have
found it dtCicult to save ourselves from
lose, and ba e not always succeeded in so
doim.
"The Jobber of flour, who covies out more
than even in the transactions ol the past few
months, has reason for congratulation. Tne
pioducer and the dealer find few crumbs of
comfort in the present situation of trade.
Bat this is a royal time for the consumer, as
he has his breadstuff at lower prices than
forminy a year." What is trne of bread
stuff is also true of all articles that enter
Into household expenses. The average price
of the articles that enter into the dally life
ot the people is more than 33 per cent less
than what it was a year ago.
Crop Estimates.
A journal has this to say of the situation
and outlook in cereal lines:
"The opening of navigation on the lakes.
which is soon to take place, will be the sig
nal for a greatly increased movement in the
export of breadstuffs, a diminishing volume
of which has been going forward during the
last three or four weeks. Fortunately, specu
lation in both corn and wheat has been, and
i. at a low ebb. which prevents any sudden
advances in prices, which always serve as a
check to a steady movement. There is no
question about the extraordinary surplus of
both of tbeso cereals in this country, and if it
does not seek a consumer's market now, it
will result in a precipitate movement later on
when the new crop, especially of winter
wheat, ripens. Tho Government report of
crop estimates was necessarily very uncer
tain; generally the average condition was
below that of a year ago, as we are later in
our season this year than last; but there is
good reason to believe that the April, or at
latest the May, report will show up much
better. The new planting Is very heavy, in
cluding the increased acreage in the South,

the South cannot afford to plant its usual
acreage of cotton; by so doing it would help
to utterly cripple its own home resources,
alter the enormous cotton crops of 1890 and

The influences most potent in tho wheat

There was little tor sale except by Fardridge.
Outside domestic markets were inclined to
firmness, and the late Liverpool cables were
a trifle higher on the futures. With little
wheat on salo and good covering by tho
shoit interest, the firmness became decided,
though withont very marked advance. May

Hog products were in better demand and
higher. Fork made a sharp advance of
about 15c hi the forenron over yesterday's

It is a peculiarity of property owners that
as soon as'they discover a sale in their im
mediate neighborhood they at once see
greater attractions in their holdings and
proceed at once to mark np values. Some
times the visit of a prominent capitalist or
broker to a district will have the same
effect upon owners.- 'They have.sndden
visions of golden wealth, which in many
cases are not realized; for buyers, as a rule,
have at least an average amount of common
sense, and see at once that values estimated
on the basis of what somebody else has
realized are purely fictitious. Owners
desiring to sell should put a fair price on
their property. By claiming everything in
sight and exhausting the future they drive
buyers from the field. A great many deals
are tied up in this manner.
Condition of the Market.
As showing the condition of the real estate
market, Messrs. Larkin & Kennedy said
that they had had more straight inquiries
and offers for property in thelast two weeks
than in two months previously. They are
now conducting negotiations involving up
ward ot $100,000, some of which are ex
pected to be closed in a short time. Mr.
Larkin added: "The reasons lor this activity
are the abundance of money and the difficulty
offinding any other Investment so safe and
so sure of yielding a good return, purchasers
reasoning that they not only get lull valne
for their money, but put themselves in a
position to secure the benefit ot early and
inevitable enhancement" Several other
brokers talked in a simular vein. C L.
Stranb & Sons said business had picked up
materially in the last few days.
Ingram Forging Ahead.
As an evidence of progress in the sub
urban districts Mr. "Walter Morris, of
Morris & Aisbitt, said yesterday that 41
houses by actual count are in process of con
struction at Ingram. All of these structures
are of a good class,, some of them costing as
much as $8,000. It follows that the lot mar
ket is active. Mr. Morris added: "Ingram
lacks'but one thing to make its attractions
to home-seekers complete rapid transit
and there is a reasonable assurance that this
want will soon be supplied, surveys lor the
extension of the "West End road baring been
completed and the route staked off. Im
proved locomotion accomplished, the In
gram district will be in a position to give
the East End a tussle. It has the advantage
of lower prices and a wider scope of terri
tory to select from. The fact that people of
high position and means are turning their
faces toward this district is a good augury
fortbeiuture."
Perm'ts for New Buildings.
Seventeen permits were issued yesterday
for 18 improvements, aggregating $68,340.
Those of most vain are: 0. H. "Watkins,

IRREGULAR AND DULL
DESCRIBES THE HCSINESS IN STOCKS
ON WALL STKKET.
Bocklng Valley anf Heading; Score Ad
vancesA Bald on Grangers Is the
Weakening Feature New Tork Cen
tral, Sngar-nnd Bock Island Down.
New Tonic, April 26-Tho stock market
showed a diminishing volume of business,
while the interest in the .transactions and
the width of tho fluctuations were reduced
to a minimum by the approaching half holi
day and the waiting attitude of operators
present. There were few outside orders in
the market and London did nothing, while
the ' room ttraders who monopolized tho
trading displayed no disposition to enter
into newengagements. There was no news
of Importance.
The openingiwas made with very moder
ate transactions ana at oniv slight changes
from last night's figures, while the list, as a
whole, showed an advancing tendency im
mediately. The execution of stop orders In
Sugar resulted in a decline of 1, but Hock
ing Vallev rose 1 per cent and Beading later
in tho day showed an equal gain. All other
changes were confined to fractions until the
last hour, when thore was a vigorous raid
made upon the Grangers, which affected the
rest of the list to such an extent that the
small gains whicbhad been scored during
the day were generally wiped out, and Rock
Island dropped 1 per cent trom its best flg
nres, Burlington following closely.
Sugar, however, rallied a little, and the
strong stocks of the forenoon had gone back
a little, which left the entire list only frac
tionally changed from last night. The close
was qniet but heavy at the reaction. The
final changes aro irregular, bnt for fractions
only, though declines or in New Tork Cen
tral and 5i each in Sugar and Rock Island

advanced, markets are firmer here. Sales

of markets. Apples are in active demand
at better prices than have been obtained
any timo this season. Potatoes are still re
ported slow, in tropical fruit lines are
steadily Increasing receipts of bananas nnd
pineapples, with weakening markets. Deal

Improvement Slow bnt Steady Rates Firm
and Weak In Spols.
Information obtained from two prominent
hankers yesterday was to' the effect that the
demand for money is increasing slowly, but
the Improvement has not as yet made any
perceptible Impression upon the amount of
idle funds. The opinion Is quite general
that the improvement that has set In will
gain force as the season advances. Rates
are somewhat variable, bankers, as a rule,
holding out for 6, while individual capital
ists are content with something less. Bank
clearings yesterday were 82 707,505 04, and
balances $595,608 03. .
At New York yesterday money on call was
Groceries.
The Yolnme of trade in this line so far this
week shows improvementovcrlast. Coffees
which, until lately, have been weak, with a
downward tendency, aro now giving signs
of strength, and the outlook promises an
early advance. Sugars move along in the
same old ruts. Canned goods of all kinds
are reported'very dull.
