The Decline Succeeded by a Sudden Bulge In bog Products Selling Interest Tarn to the Buying Side A Mild Keflex on Corn. CHICAGO A startling sudden bulge In provisions was the feature to-day on the Board of Trade. The market has gone down, scalping trado tailing on for still further decline In prices.. The end of the decline was reached this morning. Fork for September was off to $11 15 from the $12 mark, September lard was at $7 (mi, and ribs at $7 1 They were lower yesterday, and the trade played for another downward turn with grain to-day. But the heavy sell ing interests of yesterday quickly turned in the lust half hour to the buying side. This startled the trade and put the shorts in a panic. There was a rush lor all products at once. It took bidding at higher pricrs to get anything. Pork Jumped 3ic to $11 80, and closed $11 72K about 22fc better for the day. Ribs rebounded 22c to $7 45 for Sep tember, closing 15c higher at $7 37. Lard was up 12c from last night at $7 20 tor Sep tember. The sharp upturn In the hog products had a mild reflection in corn, which closed that market firm, but at a decline of c for July and c for September compared with yes terdav's resting prices. Xotbinz could lift wheat from the donbln depression of the expected Government re port and tbe financial and commercial legis lation at the Ffderal capital. Septnmber wheut closed at 76Vc, against 7G7;;Jme yes terday. It whs estimated that there would be only a small decrease, if any. In the visi ble supply, of wheat. Cholera talk and tho weather helped tb decline in grain. Oats opened stetdy, declined 5o and recovered c, following corn closely. A good deal o July was changed to Septem ber and a good deal or September was sold by tbe elevator people. At the opening July and September were K apart. They then came together and sold at the same price, but closed about KQK apart. The leading future ranged as follows, as cor rected by Jolm M.

STILL BETTER THAN A YEAE AGO. Interesting Movements in Urban and Sub urban Real Estate. FEATURES OF MONEI AND' SPECULATION Last week was a bad one for local busi ness. It consisted of but five days, and -these were environed by conditions which checked for the time any tendency toward expansion. Industrial disturbances, like leprosy, affect everything with which they come in touch. Nevertheless, as bank clear ings show, transactions footed up a respect able aggregate. So long as this level is maintained complaints will be out of order. People should not expect too much. That present conditions shouldcontinue for any great length of time is impossible. Big crops will certainly make an active fall trade. Any change, therefore, will clearly be for the better. Tho Outlook? for BeaTty. Seal estate broken expect a quiet market until the opening of the fall trade. Many buyers will soon be out of the city, and those remaining are not likely to be ag gressive during tbe dog days. But things are in good shape for an active movement much better than a year ago. The city is full of money seeking investment. This, with the promise of a heavy crop, is suffi cient to hang the prediction upon that Pitts burg realty will be an active commodity before the tall is very old. Business in a Xew Quarter. Strange to say, there have kbeen recently several transactions in realty at the eastern end of Lincoln avenue near and just bevond the line separating the city lrom Penn township. These are the first sales in that quarter lor several years, and their chief significance lies in the fact that the city is reaching out in that direction. The sales comprise several lots and two farms, that of Mr. Eaum, consisting of 16 acrei.and tbatof Ht. Knbee, containing 22. The price in each case was about 51,000 ai acre. The last named property was sold to an insur ance official about a month ago. He dis posed of it last week at a profit of nearly 15,000. Both of these farms will be sub divided. Van Gorder & Lloyd made the sale for Mr. Raum. A Deal In City Property. It is rumored that a large transaction in volving 20 acres in this city will be consummated in a short time. The tract belongs to the McClury heirs. Bobert H. Douglas.Esq., attorney for the estate, when spoken to in regard to the matter, refused to give any information, but it is hinted that the price approximafes (60,000. Sal of Squirrel Bill Acreage. During the week J. H. Coleman & Co. closed the sale of a piece of Squirrel Hill property, located on Forbes street, Phady lnne and Irwin avenue, and known as the Armstrong tract, at a figure close to 535,000. The purchasers are two well-known business men, who have not divulged what they propose to do with their purchase. Resldenco Properties Change Bands. The Squirrel Hill Land Company yester day sold the two-story brick mansion, for merly the residence of A. Garrison, on Kaercher street, Twenty-third ward, for (10,000. Another residence on the same street changed ownership at about $8,000. Special Features of Trade. Judging from tho number of permits Is sued last week, building is satis actory for the season.

The cool' weather of the past week has evidently not essentially prejudicedacreage condition of the coin crop und seasonable advancement is shown. Average condition is legarded hishcr than 83 per cent. The delay of the Duquesne Traction people inlaying tracks on evillo street was occa sioned bv the complicated nature of the work at the cornerof Ellsworth and Neville. There is a movement amoni some of tho heirs of the Michael Krehs estate to have it purpirtcd. This would be the means of pntting into the market about S03 feet of choice nropeity on Fifth avenue. The Board ot Viewers on Irwin avenue nl lowed the Murdoch estate $50 damages, caused Dy the removal of an outbuilding.

INCIDENTS OF THE WEEK IN I.OCAX, SPECULATIVE CIRCLES. Trading of Moderato Proportions The . Ardor of Investor Besiralned by In fluences of a Bearish Complexion Talk About Dividends Sales and Fluctua tions. Tbe stock market was badly handicapped all through the week. Tho holiday broke in upon it at the start, and, later, the Home stead affair intensified the apathy. Invest ors held aloof, and only bought on breaks. These, however, were too slight to be of much significance. That prices should be so well sustained under circumstances which would, set Wall street wild speaks in no uncertain tones of unimpaired confidence lu local securities. This week Pleasant Valley will declare a dividend. There was strong talk in well informed quarters of dividends by Birming ham and Manchester. This prospect is a prop to the market which it Is hard to knock away. There is dlsannointment in some onartera that the market has so far failed to reflect any indication ot the reinvestment of the large sums paid out for dividends and in terest. This is not' the season for pushing things. Many investors are leaving the city for the summer. They will take hold when they return. Another thing should not be overlooked. The toieign financial situation is an impedi ment to a bull movement. While Plttshurg is in a measure independent of outside In fluences, thoy naturally have an effeot on buyeis.

A Poor Bank Statement Counts for Nothing Louisville and Nashville Alone In Weakness No More Engagements for Gold Shipments Railroad Bonds Qnlet. New Yokk, July 9. The stock market was again Intensely dull, and, apart from the trading in Burlington and Quincy and LoaiJ ville and Nashville, presented no feature of any kind. A firm temper prevailed. The expectation that further engagements of gold would be made last night was disap pointed, and a rumor that tbe forthcoming Government crop report would be favora ble on corn wera 'influential factors in tbe movement; and despite the fact that the bank statement showed a material reduc tion in the amount of cash held, as well as the surplus, It went for nothing In view of the strong position of the banks at present. London was apparently a seller of Louis ville and Nashville, and at one time that stock showed a loss of 1 per cent from its last price of Friday, but it remained alone in weakness, and other stocks stea lily ap preciated when there was business enough to cau-.e uny change In quotations at all. The market, on the whole, was firm from opening to close, while retaining itspro- leasionai cnaiacter. The total sales or stocks to-dav were 57,767 shares, including Atchison, 3,320: Chicairo Gas. 1,570; LakoSliore. 6 000; Leading, 2,900; St Paul, 8,600: Union Pacific. 5,800. Railroad bonds were very quiet, and on a business of $424,000 showed lew changes of note. Itallroid Bonds to the Front. John M. Oakley & Co. received tbe follow ing interesting budget by special wire from Watson & GlbBon: While the rites for money have hard ened there is still large accumulation of surplus capital both here and in London which is looking for judicious investments, and the better class of railroad bonds are likely to be gradually absorbed by many of these investors. Amoni snch bonds we re gal d the several preference bonds of the Reading Company as presenting quite an attraction. With the increased earnings of this company it is more than probable that tuese several classes oi oonas will uo put on an interest paying basis, and if it be a 5 per cent one the prices at which some ot these bonds are now selling will look compara tively cheap. A lair business is now being done in bonds. The amount of cold going out by to-uay's steamers was far less than anticipated and predicted, and the Increase in the lutes of sterling exchanze, though slight, were taken as an Indication that no large amounts were in immediate likelihood of being sent. "When the last Government crop report was published there was a large short inter est that had not covered, and on tho show ing then made thoy started to protect them selves. At this time the shorts lmva had their fears as to the crop report and tbe probability of Its not being bad us predicted, and there hns been quite a good buying by them in anticipation of the lepoit.. While this takes out a portion of -the market's sud port, we still believe there are better prices ahead, and we especially favor purchases of the coal stocks. We believe that Beading and Lackanunna will sell at higher prices than, have been recorded for them. It will take time for this, but they will pay to buy and hold lor a long pull. "The coming National Mining Congress, to be held at Helena, Mont., commencing July 12, will be ci interest to the country. The vase proportions to which tbe mining in dustry has attained, the potency it exercises in tne affairs ol tho nation, and the erreat extent ot the country where the business la carried on show its Importance One of the end$ and objects of this meeting Is to obtain through united action nnlform and needful legislation tending to advance the general Industry. "Tho bank statement showed a decrease in the r a serves of about $2,500,000. This was not large when tbe shipments of last week are considered. Money Is likely to.be a little more active next week, und the stock market will, we think, show increased activity and advancing prices unless tbe cholera reports from Russia and France assume a more alarming outlook."

Teachers and Citizens Crowded tne Board Eooms ill Hay Long. GENERAL GOSSIP OF THE SCHOOLS "When tbe report of the examination lor admission to the High School was finally placed on view at the office of the Central Board yesterdav, there was a rash for it. The long period in which the report had been practically concealed did not seem to bare abated the interest in the averages in the least degree. The principals of all the schools, many of the assistant principals, and a number of citizens were there and they pounced on the report the instant it was shown. All day long they looked over it and it was not until the office closed at 5 o'clock that an opportunity could be had to copy it Below will bo found the successful candidates with the percentage made by each indicated by the figures to the left of each name: Allen Sub-District.

Fisher and wife and Mrs. Van Waggoner, supervisor of drawing, will be in attendance at the National Teachers' Association at Saratoga this week, where there is also to be a drawing exhibit from the Pittsburg schools. The magnificent exhibit to be seen at Bedford this week is still a subject for admiring comment among the principals and teachers, who themselves had seen but fragmentary contributions from their own schools, and were surprised at the beautiful collective display. There is every probability that Mrs. Van "Waggoner, Supervisor of Drawing, will be asked to have returned to her the drawing exhibits which are to be attractions at the four educational gatherings. Bedford, Sara toga, Chicago and Glen Falls, K. Y., and have then displayed in Pittsburg so as to give the public an idea ot the progress of art in the city schools. Gossip of the Schools. Tozspat evening the Central Board of Ed ucation holds a regular meeting, but in tbe month of July seldom sufficient members present themselves to have a quorum- 60 little stir Is expected in edncational circles for weeks that the trio of officers at the Cen tral Board of Education may "shut up shop" at noon if they have a mind to. Forbes StmooL is likely to reign supreme in having the only Sloyd school in the city, as the local board of the Washington dis trict, Seventeenth ward, has decided not to open a Sloyd room at tbe Fortletn street building. This will be the last time that tbe report of the High School examination will be given by numbers as was done a few weeks ago, as it Is reported that the High School committee Is m favor ot returning to tho old system of publishing names and percent- DcitETQthe months of July and August tho teachers' library will be open on Wednesdays only. THE WOBLB'S LONGEST BJULBOAJX It Is to Be Three Times as Long tbe Dis tance Across tbe States. Chicago, July 9. Nicholas Bosanoff, captain of the Bussian army and navy and an attache of the Russian royal engineers, is at the Bichelien on his way to Vladivos tok, Siberia, where he will take charge of the work of building the longest railroad in the world. This road has just been begun by tbe Bussian Government It will be built from Vladivostok, on tbe Siberian coast, to Moscow, Bussia, a distance of 11, 000 versts, or about 8,000 English miles. Captain Bosanoff says this immense line, almost three times the distance across the United States, will be completed in five y ears and commerce will be almost revolu tionized thereby. .Agricultural products from this country can then be sent to Bussia via San Francisco and the Paci6c Ocean to Vladivostok ami thence to Moscow, instead of as now to New York, Liverpool, and St. Petersburg. "The Bussian Government has ample funds to build the road," said Captain Bosanoff. "and there will be no delays in the work of construction. Two hundred miles of the line has already been built. JJnormons docks and barracks lor the army and naval stations which will be located at the eastern terminus of the road will also be built. Captain Bosanoff saidhe had received numerous letters from his fellow-officers in which they expressed their gratitude to the American people In responding so readily to the requests for food for tbe faniine strickan peasants of Buasia, Good crops vara aMTirtd tali yt BOTTOM FALLING OUT. 89.6 76.8 93.8 From 84,500 Barrels a Tay McDon ald Has Declined to 19,500. FIEMS SUSPENDING 0PEATf0ITSL Biatemille Added Another lig Well U IU List Yesterday. REPORTS FEOJI THE YARIOUS FIELDS The production of the McDonald Held fell lower yesterday than at any time since it started to decline from the phenomenal height of 84.C00 barrels a day. The daily output of the field has for many weeks been see-sawing back and forth between 20,000 and 25,000 barrels, but yesterday it lost its hold on the 20,000-barrel mark and slipped down to 19,500. No wells of any import ance were brought in and the old ones no longer respond to the former stimulating influence of nitro-glycerine. The operations in the past week have been anything but encouraging for the in vestors. The wells completed were either dry or very light. Little new work ii start ing at any quarter in the McDonald field. J. if. Guffey, of the firm of GuOey, Jennings A Co., said they were drilling but flva wells, and when these had been completed they would start nothing more. This seems to be the general sentiment expressed by many others who were at one time heavy operators in tbe McDonald field. Results Eicted Soon.
