Principal Feature,
TDREE OP THE SPECIALTIES ACTIVE
2fEW York, July 12. Notwithstanding
the plethora of funds awaiting investment
In the city, securities still languish, though
prices are well held. The silver agitation
is in all probability the most important of
the influences in creating this state of
afiairs, hut the labor troubles in Pennsyl
vania and the anti-option bill have also
their effect in deterring operations of a
speculative or investment nature. Favor
able outcomes to these issues and a har
monious meeting of the "Western Traffic
Association would undoubtedly do much to
ward restoring confidence and relieving sus
pense. The market in the meantime undergoes no
change in its characteristics, and the lack of
interest by either the public or the more in
fluential operators throws the making of
prices into the hands of the professional
traders, who, in consequence of the prevail
ing dullness are bearishly inclined, though
quick to chauge their position on the
market and cautious in their oper
ations. The fact that the beginning of
the demand for money to move the crops
finds the banks with a surplus no larger
than that of last vear at this time is also a
deterring factor in the situation, but the
crops are not as large and prices are not as
high, which would indicate that there will
be less demand for money than a year ago.
The covering of shorts in the meantime
serves to support the market againBt the
limited pressure brought to bear in the
absence of any special demand.
Only in a few specialties like Manhattan,
Northern Pacific preferred and Lacka
wanna were there movements of more than
1 per cent, though the Beading securities
under heavy buying, said to be tor inside
account, became the feature of the dealings.
The fluctuations were in most cases of no
special significance.
The market finally closed very dull but
firm to strong at the best prices of the day.
Bailroad bonds were still very dull, and,
unlike stocks, failed to display any marked
tendency in either direction, though there
were a lew important changes at the close.
The only real leature of the day was the sud
den spurt in the Beading issues, accompanied
by extraordinarily heavy buying of the de
ferred incomes, which furnished ?407.000
and the thirds $138,000 out of the total of
51,530,000 for the day.
Government bonds were dull and steady.

Brokers' Opinions.
"Watson & Gibson to Oakley & Co.:
"With the silver hill settled, the English
elections out of the way, gold shipments
largely reduced and hut few more in pros
peot, 'labor troubles in hand and crops
promising, there is a growing conviction
and sentiment that the'stock market will be
better. "We believe "it, and advise our
clients to buy good stock. There is money
to be made in judicious purchases now.
"We see some financial prophets
say no rise can be looked tor in the holiday
season or in the dog days, but it is just ex
exactly then that some of the biggest booms
of the past have begun early birds, foresee
ing what wae coming.fgetting in betimes.
"We think it will commence this month, and
we'advise intending purchasers to buy at
once, especially those who are prepared to
pay tor and hold their securities for the
next two or three months. In the course of
that time we expect to see the prices of
American railroad stocks at a much higher
level all around,"
From Sproul& Co. 's market letter: "The
advance in the price of coal caused some
scattered buying oi Beading stocks and
bonds. Drexel & Co. bought the third
preference bonds in Philadelphia and their
buying induced speculation in both cities.
All the Reading securities seem slowly
working to a higher plane. It is probable
that lor the balance of the year on the Coal
and Iron Company will show very heavy
net increases. The last half of the year is
when most of the business is done, and this
year it will be done at much higer figures."
The following table shows the prices of active
stocks on the N ew York Stock Exchange yesterday.

A BULGE IN PROVISIONS.
The Big Pecker Help Advance Prices
Grain Stubborn' and Somewhat Higher.
Chicago Interest oentered to-day In pro
visions. Prices for the product opened about
So higher on the light reoetpta and higher
prfoes of hog, On the bulge there was free,
legitimate selling and a good deal of bluster
In trying to break the market. A weak corn
market encouraged this selling. Pork broke
80o from the opening figure, and lard and
ribs 8o to 7)0. Then there was a halt. When
there was an attempt to buy baok there was
no one to offer products. The packers point
ed to the faot that hogs were 40o above
the level of prices for products. Others
were not slow to see that shipments of
meats double those of last year are made
from stocks half as large ae a year ago.
When the scalpers and shorts and raiders
turned In to bny they found the bull clique,
including Wright, Cudahy and Armour, per
haps ready to help the bulge along. Pork
never stopped until there was an advance
of 40c from the low point. The close was 20o
over the last prioe on the bulge yesterday.
Bibs advanced all told 27o and closed 20o
higher. Lard was less active and closed but
8o higher.
Stubbornness characterized tho grain
markets. Trading was not large. Wheat
was forced off c earlv, but recovered at
the close. Corn broke lc and also rebounded.
Oats show little change.
The considerable rjreminm being paid for
July wheat brought out increased offerings
for the present month and reduced the dif
ference between It and September about Jo.
At times the nit was almost entirely tte
serted or traders were roosting Idly on tho
steps fanning themselves and waiting for an
order. The fact that under such circum
stances tho market should decline only J
was regarded as noteworthy. A falling off
or about 1,000,000 bushels In the Indian ship
ments compared with the week before
caused a little scare among the shorts
toward the close and as a result the price at
the closo stood for September exactly where
ir did at the corresponding time yesterday
70c
The weather was perfect for corn, and the
proportion of the contract grade In to-day's
receipts showed a steady Improvement. The
total receipts were 529 carloads, and the
number of thoe which graded contract was
195 cars. A report was received irom Aew
York that a boatload of corn there had ar
rived off the canal in a heated condition.
Thepaitial recovery In prices was In sym
pathy with improvement in wheat and
corn.
Oats attracted llttleattention and followed
corn closely all day.
Freights were quiet, but rates held steady
at 2c tor wheat and ljfo for corn to Buffalo.

GOSSIP, SALES AND FINAL -PRICES
Tuesday, July 12.
The market for local seouritles exhibited
little improvement to-day, either in the
general tone or the volume of business.
The gossip of street and office continued to
reflect compaiatlve dullness, corroborating
the tale of quietude told by the proceed
ings on 'Change; but the encouraging under
tone noted yesterday was still quite as
marked as ever. The street seemed to be
about evenly divided regarding the pros
pects of the immediate future of the mar
ket, one contingent predicting dullness
throughout the remainder of the summer,
and the other asserting that trading would
again become fairly active before many
more days. The latter argued that the
industrial sky was clearing; that the
list offered a good many in
ducements to investors and speculators, and
that the supplv of money was so largely in
excess of the demand that it must find its
way into the stock and bond market as
soon as the uneasiness that has prevailed
for several da; a past has been dispelled. The
arguments of the former consisted chiefly
of statements that dullness-was here and
and that weather and industrial conditions
were not such as to promise any early
change in the temper of the public As a
rule, business of all kinds is usually quiet
at this season of the year, but ss yet we
have seen nothing like the stagnation,
particularly in securities, which pre
vailed a year ago this time. Barring
the industrial situation, general conditions
are also more favorable than they were last
summer, and when considering the existing
conditions In efforts to forecast the future
the potency of such an influence as unusu
ally easy money must not be overlooked. It
is dnll but It might be worse, and the per
centage oi cnancea xavor an improvement.
Luster the Big Featura.
Trading at the calls covered only L'ister
Mining Company, XT. S. Glass, Philadelphia
Company and the transactions aggregated
but 60 shares. Luster was the roost promi
nent, bulging to 10 bid on call and 11 Imme
diately after the call, principally the result
of the raid on the shorts which was inaugu
rated a day or two ago. There were ramors
that some stimulating news had been re
ceived by telegraph from the mines, but
they could not be traced to any reliable
basis. It is known, however, that two or
three Insiders are at the scene of opera
tions in Mexico, and it is probable they may
have -wired their friends to buy the
stock. In this connection it may
not be amiss to recall the fact
that the bulge to 48 two vears ago was dne
mainly to bullish advices received from
some of the heaviest stockholders then at
the mines. These advices, it is needless to
say, were misleading, as the stock failed
miserably to bold its gain and subsequently
S dropped, with Insignificant reactions, below
ar (10). Whether the present movement is
ased on favorable developments at the
mines remains to be seen, but the fact that
the capital of the eompany is small ($200,000),
making it an easy matter to run the
shorts to cover, warrants the con
clusion, in the aDsence of news
of affairs at the mines, that the upward turn
is due to a concerted movement against the
shor: interest. Regarding the Inherent
worth of the stock one of Its friends declares
that if the chlorinatlon plant, now supposed
to be in operation, is a commercial success
it is easily worth 00. Alter the close 25 was
all things considered, was not a very liberal
one.
Leading Specialties Featureless.
Philadelphia Company exhibited a little
firmness during the day on a report that
the company had struck a new well in some
indefinite region, hut it closed somewhat
below yesterday's quotations. People's
Plpeage was a little less firm. Wheeling Gas
was quoted at 18lS)i and Cliartlers was
offered at Yt.
In the street railway group Pleasant Val
ley sold at 26 with a sale after the olose at
26K- P. & B. .traction softened a little, and
others were featureless.
U. S. Glass, common, sold at 65 in a small
way, bnt there was no perceptible change in
anything else on the list, excepting a slight
soitenlng in Switch and Signal. In short,
out nine interest was manuestea in any
thing but Luster.

Schemes of Consequence.
The Adams property at Hazelwood
changed ownership yesterday at a price
close to $14,000. The lot is 161x200. The
house, a good two-story brick, was occupied
for many years by Mr. John Adams, who
was a pioneer glass manufacturer of the
Southside.
Ira M. Bnrchheld is interested m a
building scheme of great Importance to
Hazelwood. Several gentlemen connected
with the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad in
this city have purchased a tract of land
from Mr. Burchfield with a view to the
erection of a number of small, but comfort
able houses which will be sold at moderate
prices. One ofhe promoters of this enter-
Erise contracted yesterday for four of these
ouses as a beginning. They will be fol
lowed by others. The number which will he
erected will depend upon circumstances,
but the plan contemplates 10 or 50.
Mr. C L. Reno closed two transactions in
the East End yesterday. He sold for W. H.
Wilson 50x128 feet on Highland avenue to

some houses. Another sale on Highland

plements included in the sale, the price is a
little less than $133 an acre. A sale in tho
same neighborhood about a year ago was at
the rate of $100 an acre.
There is strong talk that the Toomey prop
erty, about seven acres, at Haysville, on trio
Fort Wayne Railroad, will soon pass into tho
hands of the railroad people, who will im
prove it as a summer resort. This is tho
site of the Ellenova Springs Hotel of 20
years ago. There is a good movement inlots

The Movement Will Show More Force
as the Season Advances.
WESTERN FARMERS PROSPEROUS.
Dairy
Trodncts Firmer and Provisions
Unusually Strong.
GRAIN IS WEAK AND HAT FIEMEE
Tuesday, July 11
Eeports from dealers in wholesale mer
cantile lines were without a shadow of
change to-day. Most of them continue to
describe the demand as only fair on all ac
counts, while a few said it was exception
ally, good for a midsummer season. The
fact of the matter is that business is moving
along through the various channels with
out exhibiting much force, though showing
a basis for activity that will assert itself as
soon as the seasonable and other restricting
influences are matters of the past.
The farmers of the "West are in a highly
prosperous condition, says a Chicago paper,
and thev have been making a great deal of
money lately out of live stock. "Within a
week hogs have sold as high, as t6 per 100
pounds at the Chicago stock yards, being
the highest nrice naid in lour years. A
4tock dealer who has been traveling all
over the "Western States and Territories
says that farmers can sell hogs at 54 per 100
pounds that have been fed on 40c corn and
make money. Corn in the country, he says,
is worth about 32c per bushel, and the hogs
at home are worth about $5 40 per 100
pounds. Cattle, too, have had a
great advance, and during the
last week extra fine dry-fed steers
were sold in this market at from
$6 00 to $6 10 per 100 pounds. The West
and Southwest are lull of common "grass"
cattle, but choice stock is really scarce.
The advance in prices had the natural
result of greatly stimulating the shipments
irom an parts oi me west, x-rices, ot
conrse, had a decline, especially for the
general run of common stock, but values
are still 5075c per 100 pounds higher than
ten days previous. Sheep and lambs, too,
have continued to sell at exceedingly re
munerative prices when the offerings were
at all desirable.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
With the exception of hay, which is firm
and higher, weakness continues to be the
chief feature of the market. Quotations on
oats are largely nominal, as the supply is
large and the demand very light. Corn is
lower and mainly nominal as to price.
Wheat, flour and food are barely steady at
quotations. No sales occurred on call at the
Exchange this morning, and bids and offers
were few and wlthonc significance, as fol
lows: SPOT.
