POPULAR PITTSBURG INVESTIONS.
Some Points of Interest as to Fourth of
Jnly Pyrotechnics.
THE LEATHER AND HIDE OUTLOOK
Office of The Dispatch, )
Pittsburg, Tuesday; July 5.
The bicycle trade was never so active as
it is at this time. Not less than 800 have
been sold this season, while last year's to
tal was not above 700. There are now in
use in Pittsburg and Allegheny between
8.000 and 10.000 bicycles. The higher grades
are more in demand this season than ever
before. Cheap w heels are no longer in de
mand. The high priced article costing from
$125 to fl50 has had the call of late." A
number of new features have been
attached to the leading wheels the past year,
which have very greatly enhanced their
popularity' as methods ot locomotion. An
arrangement for self-oiling, improved
lamps and baggage carriers are among the
new features. The new style of tire in
flated with air, have of late very much
lessened the vibrations which occur when
the traveler has rough roads to travel.
Among the latent improvements is an iron
hook which holds the bicycle in an upright
position when not in action. This is the
invention of a Pittsburger within the
past three months, and as evidence of its
value one of our firms has sold this season
50 dozen to Xew York firms.
The bicycle with children's seat seems to
be gaining in popularity. One firm reports
sales of children's seat attachments to the
number of five dozen within the past month
or two. The additional cost for children's
seats is ?2 50 to $5. A hickory wheel, made
almost entirely of wood, and weighing 41
pounds, has become a favorite of late. The
cost of this wheel is $170.
Fourth or July Good.
A moderate estimate of the amount ex
pended in Pittsburg for Fourth of July pyro
technics ana explosives places it between
150,000 and f60,000. The higher grade of
goods was more in demand this season than
ever before. There was little increase in
the total value of sales over last year.
The firm which furnished the fireworks
at Schenley Park reports that their con
tract was tor ?3,000 worth oi goods, and
that they received the contract by bidding
lowest
The contract was awarded to the lowest
bidder oat of four. There were not as many
private displays this season as usual, for the
reason that the masses were attracted to the
display at Schenley Park. Retailers did
not tell as much in the pyrotechnic line as
usual. One dealer repoits that the display
at the park lessened his sales to the extent
of 55,000. The amount ot Fourth of July
goods lett over is, however, less than usual,
and the little left is mostly of the cheaper
grade.
Leather and Hides.
The following from an editorial in
Chicago Hide and Leather gives the latest as
to the situation aud outlook in this im
portant industry:
"Sole leathers are firmer. The results of
the conferences of the tanners in New
York and Boston are beginning to be ap
parent in the lessened quantities, of leather
on the market, and the consequently firmer
attitude of the producers. Efforts of buyers
to contract for future delivery at present
prices have not been successful. While no
one claims there is a scarcity of leather, a
decided feeling prevails that concessions.
lrequently of a very unprofitable Mature,
no longer justified by circumstances. It
iiLg more and more evident that the
e few months are likely to witness an
Uive demand and increased consumption ot
ather goods ot all kinds. Manufacturers of
uncss leather seem buoyed up with this
hope, although we must confess that at
present they have to face a poor market for
their jroods. Hyde, dry and green, foreign
and dometic, are firmer. Those tanners
who are now wetting hides are under no
compulsion as to laying in stock tor future
Lse. There has been quite a flurry in
Chicago in native steer hides, and during
the past ten days prices have advanced
sharply. Several tanners are already talk
ing of withdrawing from the hide market if
the present stiffness continues. There is
not much faith in leather going higher to
any appreciable extent. The tanners look
for relief in hides being kept on a low basis.

A HOLIDAY DULLNESS
Overspreads the Cereal Market and Pre
vents Extensive Dealings Fear of the
Hatch Bill Still Continue to Exert Ita
Influence on the Traders In General.
CHICAGO Wheat was dull to-day, with
fluctuations confined to a narrow range, and
the dosing price unchanged for September
In comDarison with Saturday's figures, but
o higher for July. The opening for Jnly
was at 7ec, against 78jC at the close on
Saturday, and .September at 7873$gc,
against TSJfc Cables were very fluctuating,
and showed little change In the English
markets, though Berlin reported a fair ad
vance. The amount on ocean passage showed a
decrease or 2,072,001 bushels for tho week,
but this was fully offset by tho line weathor,
which was perfect everywhere nnd the fav
orable crop prospects whioh were reported.
Trade was excessively dull and narrow, and
the fear of the Hatch bill continued to exort
a depressing Influence on speculation, and
kept the hulls in the back ground, although
the price was cenerally regarded as too low
to warrant much hammering by the bears.
July sagged off to "Sa and September to
73c. Shipments last week were re
ported at 1,3G0,000 bushels, which was ad
mitted to be pretty fair, considering the tact
tbatn, deficiency of 76.000,000 bushels had
been so recently"reporred.
The strength which rnled in provisions
and which the sharp upturn in corn after
the opening llnaiiv gavo some stronjrin to
wlieat, and there was a rally of nearlv c,
the increase in the visible supply aiding
somewhat and tending to keep the market
steady at tho advance. The market was
quiet and easy during the last hour, with an
up turn near at tho end, closing at tho top.
Corn wns dull and lower early, influenced
by the fine weather and weakness in wheat,
with the absence of trade, and earl v sales
wore made nt a decline of nearly Jjelrom
Saturday's clcc. But then dispatches and
letters begau to arrive reporting crop pros
pects quite unfavorable, aud the market
gained strength. Tho buying was sharp,
led by Schwartz-Dnpee, and there being but
little for sale, an advance of a cent was
qnlokly scored and most of it was held for a
considerable time. Then the market sazged
off on free selling, owing to the Increase in
the visible supply, but rallied again near
the end and closed at tho top with an ad
vance of lc compared with Saturday.
Oats sympathized with corn, and closed
witn an aavance oi aoout c.
Hog products opened higher on the small
receipts and an advance of 1520c in the
p'lceofltvehogsat tho yards. Shorts cov
ered freely early, but there was free realiz
ing later, led by Wright, and tho market re
acted. Near the close, however, along with
everything else, provisions advanced to out
sldo figures and closed flrra to strong. Esti
mated receipts for to-morrow: Wheat. 360
cars: corn, 950 cars; oats, 750 cars; hogs,
27,000 head.

FEATURES OF MONEY AND SPECULATION
As showing that rents for central busi
ness property are going up, Black & Batrd
have offers for a store room on a prominent
street at an advance of 90 per cent over the
present rate, and SO per cent more than is
paid for a similar room not only in that
quarter of the citv, but in the same block.
This results from a scarcity of large and
modernly equipped stands. Booms that
are idle, and they are very few in number,
are in nearly every case too small or im
provided with necessary facilities and con
veniences. Owners and builders should
stick a pin right here
A. New Sub-Division.
Mr. Edwin Powell has plotted the Sar
gent farm, corner of Kegley and Stanton
avenues, Nineteenth ward, and Councils
have approved the plan. There are 100 lots.
The first purchaser was Mr. Peter Keil, one
of the directors ot the Third National Bank.
He bought on the corner oi Negley and
Avondale Place. His lot, as are all the
rest, is 60x150 to a 20-foot alley. He paid
$100 a foot front Mr. Keil proposes to
build a very fine residence, plans for which
are being prepared by Architect Frazier.
It ib the intention to make this plan one of
the beauty spots of the East End.
Good Words for Plttsbnrs.
A non-resident business man who is nego
tiating with Baxter, Thompson & Co. for a
residence site near Bellevue, said yesterday:
"I admire Pittsburg very much. It is
really a beautifnl city. It is full of beauty
spots, and these are not grouped in any
quarter, but well distributed. The East
End is magnificent. Evidences of wealth
and culture meet the eye on every side.
Some of the finest views I have every had
were obtained on Perrysville avenue, I
am greatly impressed with the country
around Bellevue. From my information I
think it will not be very long until it will
have the advantage of electric cars. This
will cause rapid development, Every
quarter of Pittsburg is full of possibilities,
which I believe will in a lew years become
realities.
Annthrr Fifth Avenus Corner Sold.
The activity which began in real estate
on Fifth avenue, beyond the Court House,
continues and promises to reach important
dimensions before long. Yesterday a pur
chase was consummated through the agency
of J. C Beilly, Diamond street, of the
three lots and buildings corner of Fifth
avenue and High street, being what is known
as the Lafferty property. The purchasers
were Messrs. J. Kaufmann and B. Furst,
and the price was in the neighborhood of
$25,000. There are several other large
properties in course of negotiation on the
street Most of the buyers are capable both
of holding and improving, andasa good busi
ness demand is springing up there for stores,
improvements out the avenue from now on
will be numerous. This makes the fourth
large transaction in corner property on that
street within a few months.
A Successful Savings Bank.
The biennial election of the trustees of
the People's Savings Bank took place yes
terday under auspices which were highly
gratifying to the stockholders. The Peo
ple's while always a popular bank and en
joying deservedly, ever since its establish
ment, the confidence of the public, has
within the past conple of years made great
er strides than ever in its history. It has
the largest capital stock of any savings in
stitution in Pennsylvania tHis being an
added guarantee to depositors, and its de
posits now run up in round figures to 52.
000,000. The trustees elected vesterday
were John W. Chalfant, A.EW! Painter.
Thomas Wightman, Hon. Edwin H. Stowe,
George Wilson, T. P. Day, George P. Black,
"W". J. Moorhead and D. McK. Llovd. This
is a strong board. The People's is also
fortunate in having for its President one of
the most worthy and capable of Pittsburg's
financiers, Mr. David McK Lloyd. Under
his administration the bank is going steadily
ahead.
Better Prices for Farms.
Farm lands are on the move. Since last
January there has probably been more sales
of this kind of property or rather more
purchasers, for owners aren't unloading
just now than in the five or six years pre
ceding all put together. That is the opin
ion ct S. Overmire, who is an expert in this
matter. The reason is not hard to see; last
'year big crops set people to thinking and
many Eastern farmers have bought "Wastern
lands. Farmers in the Northwest have
concluded that.they are all right and are
buying up lands adjoining their own farms.
A year ago farm lands 'were a drug. "While
there has as yet been no marked advance
farms are selling readily and Mr. Overmire
estimates that a 25 per cent rise in prices
will follow this year's harvest if it is as
generous as that of last year.

HOME SECURITIES.
A SATISFACTORY BEGINNING AFTB
THE LONG HOLIDAY.
Philadelphia Gas Makes a Bulge on a New
Well and the Good Statement No Spe
cial Changes In Other Interests, bnt
Steadiness the Bule.
The Pittsburg stock market Is seldom
featureless. It was good yesterday, consid
ering tho long holiday and the difficulty of
getting soundings. Though not specially
active, there were some good points and no
bad ones.
Philadelphia Gas came forward as the
leader. It advanced nearly $1 a share on re
port of a good well near Parnassus, and as a
further result of the fine statement of last
week. There were plenty of orders for it,
but they were hard to execute, and at the
end of the last call there was none in sight
These facts presage a further bulge.
Pleasant Valley, as in fact all tho street
railways, was steady and practically un
changed. Central improved a fraction for
the day. There was nothing noteworthy in
other parts of the list. Luster and Switch
finished with slight lecessions.
The only sale at the first call was a mem
bership nt $500. After call 63 shares of
Philadelphia Gas went at 18. The second
call was better. Sales were 25 Philadelphia
Gas at 18?f, 10 Switch at 17, 10 at lSk. 20
Central Traction at 2S and 50 Wheeling
Gas at 18. After call b0 Philadelphia Gas
cnangea nancts at 19. .rmiaaeipnia tias was
the attraction at the afternoon session. Ten
shares sold at 19. 120 at 19J4 and 80 at 19.
The only other transaction was 80 shares of
Wheeling Gas at ISH.
An expert sizes up the prospect in this
fashion: "Dealing in stocks and bonds has
been light and it Is difficult to discover any
tendency in prices. Holders aro holding
and that is about all that can be said.
Fluctuations may be expected during the
summer, based upon the vary nig news of the
crops and possibly the agitation of the
silver question in Congress. No great rise
from the present level Is looked for, nor is
any pronounced activity expected, with tho
Presidental campaign in progress and the
moneyed classes scattered over the country,
none upon pleasure ratner tnan money
making.
n.'
At the close of the afternoon session bid
ding was of a more energetic character than
customary after a holiday, but the goods
wanted were offered sparingly or not at all.
This is a good indication that investors are
a little anxious to put their money where
it will do them some good. Bids and oilers
at each call follow:

WALL STREET DISPLEASED.
SPECULATORS DISLIKE THE PASSAGE
OF THE FREE COINAGE ACT.
As a Consequence They Show More Dis
position to Part With Securities Prlcas
Baled Ijower All Along the JLIne Coal
and Iron Stocks Without Feature.
New York, Jnly 5. The., passage by the
national Senate ot a free coinage act last
Friday was not well received in financial
circles in Wall street, and as a consequence
there was more disposition to part with se
curities than has been in a long tlmo, and
while the selling movement was not of
special long duration, the looses suffered
were not recovered and prices are lower all
along the line. There was no other
news of importance to-day, and while
operators are looking forward with
interest to the publication of the
next Government crop report which
Is due next Monday with a hopeful expecta
tion, the preponderance of the Grangers in
the market of late made them the leading
weak stocks in the liquidation of this fore
noon. The coal stocks in view of the suits
against the Reading combine were dull and
without feature, though they were all well
supported and failed to yield with the lead
ing active shares. One of the features of
the day was the strength displayed in Chi
cago Gas in which the liquidation, however,
has undoubtedly been completed, and the
demand for the stock for both sides of the
account was sufficient to move it up i
per cent in the face of the selling of the rail,
road list, while the other Industrials shared
in the stubborn resistance to the general
pressure. The effect ' of the July dis
bursements was seen, however, in a
growing scarcity of money, and while this is
only temporary its influence for the time
being is to disturb loans nnd a flurry in
money rates resulted which ran the rate on
call up to 5 per cent; The bears seized this
opportunity to raid the market and lurther
losses were sustained all along the line. The
depression lasted till the closo which was
fairly active, bnt weak at the bottom fig
ures. The trading reached 263,187, listed,
and 19,548. unlisted.
Railroad bonds sold to some extent,
especially the Reading Junior issues, but
there was no general weakness as in stooks,
and though many material losses are seen
to-nlgbt, the majority of tho list remains
only slightly changed and a few advances
are to be noted. Business reached $1,292,000.
Government bonds have been dull and
steady.
State bonds have been dull and firm.
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy at ljes per cent: last loan, at IV per
cent; closeu ofleted at lKPer cent. Prime
mercantile paper 35 pr cent. Sterling
exchange quiet but steady at $4 87 for 60-day
bills, and $4 88 for demand.

stocks on the New York block Exchangeyesterday.

Country Pbodtjce Jobbing Prices
There was no Monday market in this line
and Tuesday's market was quiet. The usual
Monday sales of creamery butter at Elgin
were postponed until to-day. Dealers here
anticipate an advance in price of fancy
creamery. Cheese is firm at a slight ad
vance on prices previously reported. Poul
try is in limited supply and markets are
very firm. Ejga are quiet at quotations.
Berries are in fair supply and tendency of
markets is toward a lower level.
Beceipts of melons have been light for a
few days post, but prices fail to advance.
The quality of watermelons and canteloupes
on sale to-day was below par, and for this
reason there was little demand. Tropical
fruits of choice grade are active and firm at
prices quoted.

Wheat, flour and mill feed are dull and slow,
with an indication to lower prices. Oats are
in liberal supply, and, while quotations aro
nncbanged, sellers would, without doubt, be
willing to make concessions in order to
unload. Hay is barely steady. The general
cereal situation is still favorable to buyers.

X,3ckof Fnnds Cripples the Revenue An
thorlties In Their Work.
Greensboro, N. G,JulyB. SpaidLI-i
Within the past four weeks in the revenna
division of North Carolina, .South Carolina)
and Virginia there has been a series of det
tennined raids upon illicit stills, and the)
result is stills destroyed in various section
and violators of the law arrested. Friday'
the biggest outfit ever captured in thit
State was destroyed by deputy collectors!
and revenue inspectors in Stokes county,
a four-bushel house that had evidently been
running for several years. This place wag
equipped with everything as perfectly as a
registered distillery, and evidently tha
owner had been fattening some 20 odd
hogs. It is estimated that there are several
hundred illicit stills in this State, although
about 300 have been destroyed since De
cember lost.
Congress has refused to appropriate th
usual fraud fund, and a part ot the revenue
force has been consequently relieved. Tha
result will be that the revenue agents will
be wholly unable to keep violations of tha
law in check during the coming year. As it
is the registered distilleries are stealing
about two gallons to every bushel of zneal.
Stokes, Surrey and "Wilkes counties, all
mountainous counties, are the headquarters
for the blockaders, but blockading is done
in every hill county in the State. If the
revenue department is expected to enforce
the law Congress will have to furnish tha
means. Otherwise violations will be on tha
increase, and continue public, as they were
during the Cleveland administration.
They Knew the Combination.
Charles Somers & Co., real estate agent
at 137 Fourth avenue, had their safe opene4
and $220 and valuable papers stolen. Thd
safe was evidently robbed by someone wha
knew the combination as the doors showed,
that they had not been forced open.
