Volume of Hardware Business Larger Than Last Season, but PRICES ARE LOWER THAN EVER. in Active Demand for Canned Meats Sends Up Quotations. BANANAS NOW AND IN OLDEN TIMES. OFPICE Of THE DlSrATCH. I Pittsbchg, Tuesday, May 8. J April's Toluuie of trade in hard ware lines, according to report of a representative of one of our leading firms, showed an increase of fully 1j per cent over the corresponding month of last year. Tnere has been an ex traordinary demand in the past week or two for garden tools, building hardware and fencing wire. Prices of wire are 10 per cent lower than they were last season, but price of raw material has declined to an equal decree. Galvanized barbed wire sells at f2 802 90 per cwt. Plain wire fencing ranges in price from 51 95 for No. 9, to $2 15 for No. 12. G.ili anizetl plain w ire is jOo to $1 per cwt abo o these ligure. Wire nails are -elliiii at a bais of SI 75 and cut uaiK at $1 CO At thec prides profits j tomanui.ictiircrsaio well nurli obliterated. Nnil manufacturer who en decl-il o divi dends :i present mices must pos-es tin- nsuil udv.intaircs in secnrimr raff materials. FiitMjur' manufacturer of rail" havo of late jeais practically abandoned the nail tradej because theie was nothing in it. NalU Sell Lower Than Ever. It was thought a vear a-;o that prices of nails hud touched bottom. But it secir.s that theio was a lower stiatnm, and to-day the pnej of nails is lower than it has been in the history of the trade. In war times prices went up to $7 per keg. Thesimo money w il 1 now buy about lour and a halt Lcc. The demand for refriserator, lee cream freezers ana fly screens lias opened up ear lier than usual this season, and nil sls;ns ;ximt to a much Inner volume of trade this senson than Ia-.t in these lines. In all hardware lines margins are close and the only alvation for tlio dealer is in larse ile. " The manufacturers who come out moie than een at present prices, aro not in the mijniltv. Events havo proved that Pittvbm-s nail makers who abandoned the trade ears ao havo been justified in their action. To have continued in the trade w ould have entailed loss. Canned Meats Going TTp. Trade in this line has been steadily on the pair, of late, and piices of canned, chipped and roast beef have been'advanced. Cornod audi oast beef have been advanced in the past week fiom $1 CO to $1 70 per dozen and chipped beef from $1 70 to $1 SO. Volume of Amll's trade was Jully SO per cent larger than for the same month last year. A representative of one of the leading Clitraso firms, in an interview yesterday, said: "Our sales of corned and roast beef for April were equal to 5.000 cases, and we have now orders on onr books for as much more. Notwithstanding lecent advance prices are loner than they were at this time a year ago." Growth of the Banana Trade. The produce commission meichant, who brought the first barrel of bananas to Pltts buig in war times at a venture, is still hale and hearty, though he has retired from active business life. In a lecent interview the letiied me-clrmt said that he had all he could do to dispose of that first barrel of banas The change 'twixt now and then is demon strated bv the fact that it is no unusual thing for onr dealers to receive 30cailoads of bananas m a single week. On Monday of i;istM-iv an entire train ot unnanas.com- rusinr 11 cailoads was leeeived lir Thomas II. McGowan, a Liberty street commission meichant. And the difficulty of selling this amount was less than that" of the original ban el -which was received at the beginning of trade in this line. LIVE STOCK MARKETS.

FIRM, BUT VERY TAME. All Grains Steady Throughout the Tt. tVJilIe Not Very Strong large AmonnU on Ocean Passage Counterbalanced by light OfTsrlncs Somfe Bullish Weather. CHICAGO Wheat opened very tame this morning, but with prices a shade better,and tors, considerable time there was but little business and very little change in values. Cables showed dullness and steadiness. Domestic markets, whilo apparently firm wore not showing much strength. The amount of wheat and flour on ocean pass ago and the narrowness and dullness of trade kept the market fiom showing any particular strength during the first hour; but it was soon noticod that the offerings were exceedingly light and that they were leadily absoibcd, so the market began to harden. Serious w eathor conditions in tho Northwest weie also reported. Tho crowd seemed to be Abort and this kind of news set them to cuverlns, and with but little- for sale there was a gradual advance of Je, but it w as acooniDllslicd with little or no excite ment or effoit, and when once gained the advance was well held for most of the ses sion. -May opened y,a higher at 80ic. and ad vanced to SIKc; July started with tho same appreciation at Me, and sold up to Sle. Toward the close tnoie was some realizing on tlio advance, accompanied by a recession to tOJo for Way and 81jo for July, at whioh the market closed firm. Coin showed a good deal of strength, and prices were decidedly higher. Tho bad weather chiefly, the excessive rains in the corn, region, caused some apprehension, and there was jtood speculative buying, as w ell as sharp coNeiingby shorts. Tlio firmness continued till near the end of the session, w hen, as in wheat, thero was some icaction. Jljy opened o higher at 41c: touched 42c; momentarily advanced to 42Xc, and closed at Miifi. j ui v Allows a gain ui iu, Oats were Ann, influenced by the samo reasons which affected the prices of corn ami wheat, and closed with a net gain of lln,j products in more active demand and higher. Theio was some talk or a deal in ribs, with good active bu ing. Pork opened 5c higher at $"l 62 for July, advanced to $0 G7J. weakened to $9 57Ji on selling by pack, is, artcr which free bidding and light offiM ings caused the price to shoot up to $9 77J, but the market w eakoned toward the close and closed easy at $9 12, an advance ot J5o compared with yistei day's close.

Interesting Position of the Pittsburg Female College Property. THE MARKET FULL OF GOOD POINTS. An Owner Who Besides in Salt lake Citj Watching Local Movements. IT. P. CHURCH PEOPLE HATE AN OFFER The property owned by the Duquesne Traction Company, bounded by Craig, Neville and Fifth avenues, near the power house, lronting 440 feet on Fifth by about the same depth, has been offered to the First Methodist Frotesant churoh people, who recently leased -their downtown place of worship to the Messrs. JKaufmann, for J60, 000. It is believed the offer will be ac cepted. Prospect of a Deal. A meeting was held yesterday of the di rectors of the Pittsburg Female College in reference to the sale of their property on Eisjhth street, near Penn avenue, and it was decided to press the offering so as to allow of their selecting anew location soon. The lot is 148x100 feet, is very desirably located for business, and it is thought that a sale will soon be made, as several applica tions are under consideration. The size and advantageous location of this pioperty make it very desirable for almost any purpose. Full of Good Point. It is a matter for congratulation that Pittsburg has no real estate boom. The only experience of that kind in local his tory proved so disastrous that it is not likely to be repeated by this generation. On the contrary, a strong conservative tendency is noticeable among all classes of buyers. They look before they leap. A good busi ness is being transacted in nearly all-classes of property. For business stands and acre age the inquiry is brisk, sales are frequent and in many cases tor large amounts, as re ports in the city papers show. Capitalists are beginning to realize the possibilities of both central and suburban property and are picking it up right and left. In the subdi visions that pave been fairly improved the sale of lots keeps on steadily, and the tone of this branch of the market is strong and healthy. Prices offer no encouragement to those who are waiting for tho market to go to pieces. Saw It In The Dispatch. Letters from Ireland and Scotland pub lished in this column in the last two days. emphasize the value of The Dispatch" as an advertising medium for real estate own ers and agents. Yesterday Morris & Aishitt received the followinglof similar tenor from Mrs. Samuel J. Paul, of Salt Lake City, Utah: "I notice your advertisement 111 the dispatch in regard to your suc cess with property. Our family (Thorn burg) owns about 1G2 acres situated about halt a mile from Crafton on Chartiers creek. My object in addressing you is to ascertain if we could get a satisfactory price for the plarce as a whole, or whether it would be advantageous to plot and sell it off in lots." Yesterday's Building Permits. Bnilding picked up yesterday, both in the number and the value of the undertak ings. Eleven permits were issued for 16 improvements, the cost of all being esti mated at 5108,000. Those of special value are: H. Childs & Co., nine-story business house on Penn av.enue, 535,000; T.

THE BDT Manchester Traction Continues Its Prog ress, Witti Few Sellers in Sight Du quesne and Central Follow a Long Way Behind Other Features of the Day. There were a few interesting features in the local stock market yesterday, but for the most part it was narrow and somewhat steieotyped. The strongest spot was Manchester Trac tion. It sold at tlfts flrst call at 4 and ad vanced 6teadlly till the finish, when 42 was bid, with none in sight under 43. The bulge was attributed to expectation of a dividend in July. There was repetition of the talk of a pooling arrangement with the Pleasant Valley. Duquesne and Central were a trifle firmer. There were no conspicuous changes in other parts of the list. The Natural Gas shares were about steady. Airbrake olosed a food fraction better for the day. Luster and witch wore weaker.

The Worse Hoar Drive Is at Northern Pa cfic Sugir Trust People Fortify Their Stoclt Now England Scarce Edison Trust Keceipts Quite Active. New York, May 3. Notwithstanding the opening of tho London maiket this morn ing, the expected buying by tho foreigners did not anpear heie, and although general apathy marked tho trading in stocks, feat uics were moie seen than usual. Rates 30 sterling exchange were reduced by all drawers to-day, and tho expectation that another large shipment of yold would Le made'this week does not seem likely to be fulllllcd. In tho market to-day even tho most active stocks moTed within tho narrowest limit!-. A scarcity of New England was developed in tho loan ciowd, and tho limited buying of that stock was evidently lor the short ac count, which resulted in a rise ol per cent noiore tneucmanu culminated. Adtivowas made at Northern Pacific common, with the effect of knocking its price down about 1 per cent on light sales: but the raid was be lieved to bo for thcpui-pose or shaking out proieired slock. "The piessnre was trans Ion ed to New England late in the daj', and more substanti.il 1 esul ts attended this efloi t, for the stock, aftet -elling as high as 39 in the rally dealings, ic tired to 37 in the late trading. The hiigar Trust people put supporting orders on their stocks to neutralize the pos sible effects of legal and legislative move ments which are being made against them, but thenariowness of the market gave tho benrs a chance to laid other stocks, or which thoy availed themselves. Theie were more transactions in the Texas Puciflc -e-curities at advanced prices because of the impression that tho meeting of tho stock holder m Juno will ie-ult in the defeat of the anti-railroad party. The Edison Tiust leceintswero asain esneclallv actlvo and strong, and scoied a f,niii of about 1 per cent, but the rest of the market was wltuout featme or interest, and tho close was dull and barely steady after the raids, with prices in most stocks at only slight changes from those of the opening. The total sales of stock to day were 173,511 shares. Including: Atchison j 4,950; Ene, 5,100; Louisville and Nashville, 8,100; Noith ern P.iclfle. 4,-00; picferred, 0,432; New England, 24,326: Reading, 4S.725; St. Paul, 9,400; Western Union, 1,935. There w us more amm.ition In the bond maiket, without tho great preponderance ora lew issues in tlio dealings, as usual of late; but the demand was widely and evenly distributed throughout the list, with a Ann temper. Tho transactions reached $1,763,000, and beside the Atchison incomes the Chea- Eeake and Ohio 4sand someotheis weio lought foi ward us leaders in activity.

There was the usual demand for money yesterday, with enough to meet it and plenty to spaie. The total volume of business was large. The nominal Dank rate was 6 per cent. Some of the broker offered better terms, dealings were $2,608,539 84 and bal ances $40S,S01 27. The bears are not likely to make much capital out of the gold exports. At this sea son of the year it is customary to ship gold, and the withdrawal of a few millions at this time is a benefit rather than an injury. The increasing ease in money at the Enronean centers may bo expected to prove a check upon this movement, for a point must be leached at which tho foreign banking houses willpiefer to allow balances to rest here rather than feed the glut of money in their own markats. At New Yoik yesterday monev on call was easy at 12 per cent; closed offered at 1. Prime mercantile paper, 3J5 per cent. Sterling exchange quiet and easier at $4 SGJf lor 60 day bills, and $4 SSJ- for demand. Closing Bond Quotations. rj.S. 4 reg 115V U.S. 4s coup 1155$ M.. K. AT. Gen.Ss. 49 Mutual Union 03 106S N.J.
