PITTSBURG, Tcesdat, May 10.
The receipts of bananas and pineapples
in this market last week were larger than
any previous record shows. Hot less than
42 carloads or bananas were received last
week, between Monday and Saturday. The
result of this large run was that bananas
were sold in Pittsburg at lower prices than
anywhere in the country. From the steam
ers in the New York harbor there were no
sales below $1 00 per bunch for choice
stock, and yet bananas were sold here at
lower figures.
, Shippers who consigned bananas to Pitts
burg last week, are counting up losses
rather than profits, since the average sales
were lower here than in Xew York. It Is
difficult to determine the quantity of pine
apples which has been received here the
past wcor. One dealer alone reports re
ceipts or 5,030. and expects to receive as
many this week. This number may be
eatery multiplied by fivo to lurnish an esti
mate of the total number received hero last
week. In the supply of pineapple there is
a very small proportion of choice stock.
Creamery and Oleo.
By reference to the home market column
It will be seen that fancy creamery butter is
a shade higher than it was a week ago.
There was a general expectation of a de
cline, and tho tiff markets proved a surprise
to dealers. Facts are stubborn things, and
In this case it Is easy enough to account for
the facts. The strength or the creamery
markets is without doubt dno in lnrge meas
ure to the coming prosecutions azainst
dealers in oleomarsai lno. The terrors of
the law seem to have deterred oleo dealers,
mid trade in this lino has been reduced to a
minimum. The averace consumer prefers
oleo to any grade ot bntter that is below the
test. Xon that oleo is banished, high jrrade
creamer- U in better demand, and prices
are better than they were a week ago.
In Leather Lines.
ITamess leather has not been lower in
price since before the war as it hns been
tnis sprinir. Two years ago prices were de
pressed, and the averngo then varied little
from present rates. A year ago the average
price of heavy harness leather was 2c per
pound above present rates. Then Xo. 1
stock was sold at 29c, and now the price Is
S7c per pound.
In the spring of 1S79 the price of Xo 1 har
ness had declined until 29c was the top of
the market .This was the bottom pi ice in
those siood old days. In the fall of 1KT3
prices J umped until there were sales atl2o
per pound. It was only for a short time
that these prices were maintained. Since
then markets have steadily drifted down
ward as hides have done, until prices aro
now at their lowest. It is plain that the
leather trade is now down to hard pan, and
that future changes must Inevitably be
toward a higher level.
Sonth American Cattle.
The following is from the current number
of the Chicago Hide and Leather:
"Advices from Buenos Ayres. bringing
statistics to March 31 last, are to the effect
that the slaughter at the various points, ut
Buenos Ayres, Montevideo, Klver Points
amlontho Rio Grande, which during the
first half or March sho ed a falling off nnd
consequent roduction of the total increase
of the seasou's product as compared with
last ear, had asain shot ahead.

cattle.
"This establishes a larger output in 1892 by
114,000 cattle than in 1S91, as against an ex
cess or 100 100 on March 15. Tho slaughter up

A FURORE IN OATS.
It Doesn't Last Long, the Price Coins
Donn With the Other Grains The
Government Crop Report Factor
Hulls Have Overdrawn the Weather.
Chicago, May 10. Apprehension as to the
Government crop report was the chief
controlling factor on 'Change to-day. There
was, also, a feeling among wheat traders
that the worst conditions were discounted.
The bears were quick to see the change of
sentiment, nnd they sold the wheat down
IVfc. Corn wns equally weak for July de
livery, and provisions conld not withstand
the prevailing bearish influence of a weak
grain market, pork dropping over 20c
Wheat trading on the whole is not large.
The opening was HH lower than yester
day's closing, and with several small
fluctuations prices declined Jc, then rallied
o, declined c. and the closing was about
lc lower than vesterda v. There was a rush
to sell right from tho start, and while the
offerings were readily absorbed for a time,
thev began to get excessive, and a very
weak feeling followed. The impression
seemed to prevail that the bulls had been
misrepresenting the situation In the North
west, and this view was sustained by a good
many private messages.
The course of the corn market after the
first burst of iain-soaked entliusiam, was
rather a surprise There was no improve
ment in the weather conditions in the corn
belt, but the supply ot timid shorts was
much more limited than on the preceding
dnv, and as quickly as that fact was recog
nized yesterday's purchases were for sale.
Inlv "as wanted for n few seconds at from
McUc, but it took only n very short time
to beat the price back to 43c, and after a
slight rally to force a furtherdecllne to 42c,
the latter break bringing in a number nf
buying orders. There was a reaction to 43Jc,
but it wns again selling at around the lowest
prices in the last few minntes and closed at
42c bid, against He at the end of yester
day's session.
Oats were quite excitod at tho opening,
and the prices made then were the highest
of tho day. July started at 3030c. .It
was almost Impossible to fill oiders at any
price between these two extremes, however,
nnd a number went unfilled. There was
considerable liquidation that, with the
prospect of better weather, caused a break
to 29c This was followed bva bulge to
30e and this, in turn, bv a break to tho low
point of the day, iNc, where the market
closed, a net loss of c since yesterday. The
action of corn had considerable effect upon
oats.
The provision market was fairly active,
but quickly weakened after a momentary
semblance of firmness near the opening, oc
casioned by a better hog maiket reported
from the yards. The decline in grnin caused
local scalpers to sell. There were periods
of temporary improvement after tho early
break, but the closing phase of tho market
was one oi uncompromising weakness ana
at tho lowest prices of the day. Though the
decline In pork amounts to 20 cents, lard
only declined 2c Ribs nro lUc off.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

CITY REAL ESTATE.
Big Price Realized for Property
on Central Fourth Avenue.
FRONTAGE AT $4,000 PER FOOT.
Particulars of the Recent Big Teal in the
Highland Park District.
DEVELOPMENT OP THE OUTSKIRTS
The property No. 113 Fourth avenue,
formerly occupied by the United Pipe
Lines, a one-half interest in which was
recently acquired by Messrs O'Day and
Archibald, brought at the rate of 4,000 a
foot front, the highest price so far realized
on that street This price is practically for
the ground alone, as the building is
small and ot no great value. It was pre
dicted some time ago by close observers that
Fourth avenue property would soon com
mand the highest price in the city. This
prediction has almost been verified. On
account of the concentration of financial in
terests on Fourth avenue values are steadily
looking up, showing that Pittsburg is fall
ing into line with other cities where prop
erty on the financial streets is the most
valuable.
Latest Highland Park Deal.
Additional information was obtained
yesterday in regard to the sale of the Mary
A. Denham property, near Highlaud Park,
for a little less than $100,000, reported in
The Sux-day Dispatch. The deal was
consummated through the agency of Charles
Somers who received the first payment It
fronts 400 feet on Highland avenue by a
depth of 1,200 feet on Callowhill street It
also has a frontage of 800 feet each on Eu
clid avenue, St Clair and Mellon streets,
which pass through the property. The pur
chaser, Mr. John Fite, proposes to improve
the ground by grading and paving streets
and laying flagstone sidewalks, after which
it will be laid out in large lots suitable for
fine rural homes Building restrictions will
be imposed upon all lot buyers, binding
them to observe prescribed lines and to
erect houses corresponding to the high
character of the place and its surroundings
Mr. Fite will begin operations in a few
days He has sold his other holding in the
same locality for $65,000.
Developing the Outskirts
Fahnestock Place, Homewood, on the
Pennsylvania Kailroad, furnishes a good
illustration ot the steady development of
the outlying districts It contains 62 lots,
which were put in the market a few months
ago by Liggett Bros Of these 30 have

Bulls hold the fort. The stock market
yesterday was not so attractive for activity
as for strengtn. a jspeciai feature was a
further advance la Duquesne Traction,
which was wanted in larger quantities than
offered. It sold up to 29. nnd finished strong
at that figure, none being offered below 29.
Citizens' Traction moved np a step, and the
rest were firm.
In the natural gas department Philadel
phia was strong, closing with a fractional
gain for the day. Luster fell off a fraction.
Airbrake and Underground Cable were
steady. Manufacturers' Gas was bid up to
26, without bringing any of it out. Swltoh
and Signal and old Electric were in a meas
ure negleoted. There was a fair demand for
nearly all the specialties, but holders were
slow to respond. The opinion on and off
'Change is that the street railways will go
higher. This belief seems to be Justified by
their large and constantly incrcaslngearn

The Bears Concentrate Against Northern
Pacific Preferred Rocking; V.illey ' Is
Also Ralclcd'Down, Whllo Omaha Makes
a firm Resistance Railroad Bonds
Active.
New York, May 10. The stock market to
day exhibited considerable irregularity, but
while there was liquidation in spots' and a
few stocks were kept under the hammer,
the general list, ns a rule, displayed a firm
temper throughout most of the session,
though material change! in quotations were,
as usual, confined to a few stocks only.
Northern Pacific preferred was the one
stock upon which the bear effoits were con
centrated, and somo measure of success at
tended their drives at it, while it was ren
dered for some time the most active stock
on the list. The downward movement in
this stock was aided to some extent by
realizations. Omnha and Hocking Valley
were specially conspicuous In this respect,
the latter yielding readily, though the
former was more flrmlv held.
Of the Industrials, Edison Receipts and
Distillers, with Laclede Gas were especially
strong; but among the inactive railroad
stocks, some eqnally wide advances were
made, Pullman rising above 200, and Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg, Mobile and Ohio
andoneortno othors being specially con
spicuous. The movement under covering of
shorts spread to the general list in the utter
noon, but the changes in quotations were
still confined to the smallest fractions, and
no matei ial progress was made.
A more hopeful feeling in regard to tho
crops took possession of the street and buy
ing was bolder, developing considerable ani
mation for a time. Realizations marked the
trndinir iii the last hour, however, and tho
nressnro unon Northern Pacific nreferred
was again brought to bear, with the effect of
sagging prices away again in some stocks:
and whllo tliocloso was generally firm on a
fairly active linsiness, the final prices are
irregular and onlv slightly changed from
thpse of last evening in the great majority
of stocks. The only important change was
the loss of 1' in Northern Pacific preferred
nniong the active stocks, but Pullman rose
5: Mobile and Ohio, IK and Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg, 2J per cent.
Railroad bonds continue to be in excellent
demand, and the business dono at the board
snows a slow but steady increase, leaching
to-day $2,058 000, out of which $199,000 was in
Atchison incomes and $115,000 in Rcidinir
seconds. These bonds, as well as most of
the rest of the usually active list, showed
only small changes and tho inactive ones
few marked advances.

Country Peoduce Jobbing prices
The Monday sales of creamery butter at
Elgin developed a stronger feeling than was
anticipated, and markets were a shade
higher than they were the previous Mon
day. Country butter is dull and slow,
though receipts are light. Sales of eggs
were reported yesterday at 14Jc per dozen
in job lots, but choice stock is held at 15c.
The quality of new cheese offered so far is
for the most part low and movement is
sluggish. Poultry is still in short supply,
but prices fail to advance. Beceipts ot
Southern vegetables have been light the
past few days and demand Is also light, with
prices tending to a lower level. The quality
of strawberries offered is steadily improv
ing, and demand is sufficient to absorb all
good stock at prices quoted. Tropical fruits
are In lighter supply and better demand this
week-than last. Banana trado was demoral
ized last week owing to large receipts, the
largest on record. Demand is now equal to
supply, and tone of markets Is better.
Choico oranges and lemons aro also firmer.
Plneapplps aro in large supply and lower
than they have been any time this season.
