8 f akpts ' X , ' INCREASED INTEREST Will Be Shown After the Electoral Excitement in England. COLORADO COAL IS STRONGEST. Minneapolis and Ft Louis Shates Also Prom inently fctrong. BAILEOAD BONDS QUITE ANIMATED Kew York, July ia With the opening of the new week in YTall street, there was no apparent improvement in the condition of the market and the dullness has come to such a pitch that it seems impossible to most frequenters of the street to take the market seriously. The strictly professional character still remains. Tiiere is a good deal made out of the gold shipments, and to-day announcements of engagements were awaited with considerable interest on all hands and with some anxiety on others, but the very satisfactory exhibit of the banks last Saturday should have allayed all fears of possible harm from tlw gold shipments. The conclusion of the electoral excitement in England, it is believed, will show an increased interest in American securities on the part of European, and especially Eng lish investors. The fluctuations in railroad stocks are now reduced to a minimum, and while a desultory trading is maintained in Beading and the Grangers follow the leaders with no spirit, the changes in quotations are In significant. A few specialties however, were moved abont to-day, Colorado Coal being one ot the strong points, while the late strength in the industrials was cntltely missing up to the latter part of the session. Tlieic is. however, an increase in the busi ness done among the bituminous coal roads in Ohio and corresponaing additional earnings. The announcement of the issue of 24,000 additional shares of the new stock of the Louisville. Xfw Albany and Chicago -has caused some of the old holders to offer their stocks in the mniket. Among the inactive shares the Minneapolis and St. Louis shares were prominent lor stiength to-day. The rest of the lint are only slightly changed from Saturday, the close being dull and barely steady. Eailroad bonds were comparatively mote animated than stocks, but there was the same lack of motion in the list though a few of the inactive issues here and there scored substantial gains. St. Paul consols was one of the features, rising 2 to 130, while Rich mond and Danville 5s rose 2 to 80, Knoxville and Ohio 59 2 to 100 and Big Sandy 6s 2 to OS. The trading reached $1,172,000. Government bonds were dull and heavy. Close of the list: U. S. 4s, reg..... U. h. 4s. coup... .1154 Mutual Union 6s 110 .11SS N..T. C. Int. ccrt....U05 U.

S ? A BULL DAY On the Chicago Board or Trade Every thine; Closes Blher. Chicago, July IS. It was a "bull" day on Change to-day, anti-option bill ruraorshelp Ing prices all alone the line. Shorts were good buyers, sending prices up 1c for wheat and corn and 25e for poik. The wheat mar ket opened rather easier, on advices of fa vorable weather and easier cables, Septem ber starting Jc off. There was an almost immediate change for the better, however, although it was not easy to discovei much in the news that was particularly bull ish. About the only item of this nature was the Indian shipments, which wereronly 4SO,000 bushels last week. The steady fall lug off in tho movement from India has re vived interest in the story which wasso fteely circulated a few weeks ago that tho crop in that country this year was 64,000,000 bushels less than last year and seemed to give some confirmation of it. Another, cause for the sticngth was the firmness in July, in which there appears to bo u consid erable short Interest, and there was a good demand for cash wheat. Tho receipts here were 50 cat.' under pre vious estimates, but in the Inspection re turns were 81 cars of new wheat, 13 of which were No. 2 hard and 2R No. 2 red. Keceipts at Minneapolis were 533 cars and Duluth 136 cars. The visible supply statement showed a decreaso of 691,000 bushels for the week, which riirtheV stiffened the market, Septem ber selling fieely for a time at 77Ke- The closing cables were stronger and re ported unfavorable weather in Encland. All this, together with tho prevailing flruines, frightened the shorts, who started to cover, forclne the price for Septembor up to 78. July closed at 79Jc and September at 77e. Corn opened weak and lower on report of free rain In the southwest, and there was fiee selling which soon put September down to 473c But after the first weakness the market turned strong, and the sellers were soon exhausted. Then came a bunch of bad crop reports, which, In connection with tho strength In wheat and provisions, caused a steady rally to 48e, and at noon the prico was about 43c. July sold at 4Scto50c to close: and Septembor 4c to 48o to close. Tho visible, supnly decreased 841,000 Dmhels. Oats wero fairly activo and higher, largely In sympathy with corn. The risible supply Increased 48,000 bushels. Hois' products sold early at about Satur dny's close, but packers and shorts soon be gan buvlng and there was a sharp advance, September pork going up from $11 85 to 12 07K. and closing at $1S liW.

Slight Declines Are Scored, bat No Seal Weakness Develops. GOSSIP, SALES AND FINAL PRICES r Mondat, July 18. Existing and threatened labor troubles continue to exercise a more or less depress ing influence in local financial circles. Bankers and broken continue to discuss them, and speculate on the pjobabilities and possibilities of the near iuture in the event of their extending and widening, not caring in the meantime to engage in any operations of moment;and as outside specula torsand investors as a rule are quite as cau tions as anyone, we continue to be confronted with the spectacle of comparative dullness, more in the line of local securities. The continued hesitation, however, has not as yet materially affected any thing on the list. On the contrary as heretofore pointed out in these columns the market as a whole is not enly holding steady to firm, but some of the fa vorites are showing a strength that augurs well for the future. Brokers are not doing much, either publicly or privately, but tliey note various encouraging sbrns that are buoyinsr them up thronh the dull season, as well as preventing holders ft om coming: into the market at current prices. There is a strong, healthy undertone, and there is really nothing on tho list that looks like a sale. Course o( the Market. The bnslness at the calls to-day covered Philadelphia Company, Union Switch and Signal, Duquesne Traction bonds. Westing house Air Bi-ake and P. & B. Traction, with no particular feature in nnythinsr. Phila delphia Comnanv was offered to the extent of 220 shares, but it was well -and quickly nhsnrbed at 18 and the close nasnrmat 118J. People's Pipeage wai off to about the extent of the dividend at 121S; Chartiers Vallev Gas closed offered at 11 and Wheeling Gas at 19, with no bid for the former ana 18 for the latter, and the other items of the gas group were neg lected. In the listed street railway shares no changes of consequence were established. Central Traction closed at 28 bid. against a close Saturday at 29 bid, ana Pleasant Valley at 25 bla, auainst 25 The others were unchanged. In the unlisted Hliarrs P. & B. Traction was soft at 2K25. Du quesne Traction ti as strong at 2S28X, and P.. A. & M. was without positive tenaency or tone at 46 asked. The bonds of tho latter were off a little, however, at 104 asked. The only pronounced movement of the day wa in Union Switch and 8i!mal. Open ing at 15 bid. it advanced to 16 soles and closed at 1616, with more wanted than offered. The uasu of this upturn was quite as inexplicable as tho basis of last week's decline. The probability is tho stock went off without cause and recovered on the exe cution of a few ordeis to buy toraccount of some one who thought it cheap at the decline. A little bear talk was beard in the face of the recovery, the basis of it be ing the probability of electrical appliances ultimately supplanting those now in use by the Union Switcli and Signal Company. Stockholders need have no fear on this point, however, as Mr. Westinghonse has de monstrated his ability to keep pace with de velopments in the electrical world and in ventions of electrical appliances.

What tbe Bank Statements Show. The late statements of the local national banks, so far as they have been examined and compared with tho last previous state ments, show some material changes. It is estimated by an accepted authority that they will show a larger line of deposits than everhefoie held, the increase being about $1,500,000. The loans and discounts will prohablv show an Increase of trom $500,000 to $750,000, and the percentage of reserve an inct ease from 31.95 to something above 32. The securities held will also show a huge in crease, corroborating reports that the banks were purchasers or bonds and gilt-edged stocks. The Second National Bank made the largest Increase in deposits, $452,000. and the Merchants and Mechanics' National comes next with an increase of $834,000. Storlnc Natural Gas. For some time after the People's Natural Gas Company turned its Plnhook supply into its Mnrraysvllle main the pressuto in the city increased so insignificantly as to cause gt eat disappointment. The company knew abigprcssuie of gas w.is going into tho main irom the new rexion, but they could not explain its failure to show up at the chief point of consumption. After con siderable experimenting, however, they dis covered that instead of coming cityward it had taken tho other direction and was stor ing itself in the company's low pi essure wells in the Muiraysvllle field. The discovery it as a pleasant one. It levealed to tbe company a storage system no ono had thought of and showed them how they could work the Held for all possible in case of danger of too early exhaustion by the operations of the com panics and individuals operating therein. All they had to do was to let the gns keep on storing itself in the low pressure wells until tho pressure from the was sufficient to turn the I'inhoofc gas entirely citvward. Then, after the latter began to peter out, thev could shut off connection with Pin hook and get a good pressure Irom Murrays ville. The possibilities of such a storage system are great, and the company has other low pressure wens wnere eas can no stored at a slight cost, and pumping machinery to bring it to the city in case of necessity. iiiev win pruuauiy mm aurantage ot ail the opportunities. Financial Note. The General Electric Company's bonds recently offered were oversubscribed 20 per cent. The Financial Chronicle computes the gross earnings of 80 roads during the first week of July, of this year, at $8,628,776, against $6,188, 700 for the same week last year, an increase of $440,076. The contraction in loans shown by the bank statement on Saturday wavgenerally attributed to tbe calling of loans by some of tbe larger institutions as part of their move ment to bring about an advance in the cull loaning rate from the basis or 12 per cent, which has been current for some time. Those efforts have not been successful be cause or the large amounts at the disposal of foieign and other banking houses through the making of large sterling loans. Tho Northside Bridge Company has passed the 2 per cent semi-annual dividend due on the preferred stook this month. A dividend was earned, but the money was absorbed in the payment or tho State tax, which had been allowed to accumfllate pending a suit to test the legality of the act. To-day the sending out of instantaneous quotations Irom the Board of Trade was re sumed, tho Gold and Stock Ticker Bureau of the Western Union Telegraph Company having the matter in charge. , After the close 125 was bid for Westing house Air Brake. The Motolina Mining Company Las asked for subsci iptions to $75,000 more of tieasury stock, in order to wipe out the remainder of the old debt, and furnish additional work ing capital. The directors will subscribe for $15,000 if the other stockholders will take tbe remainder. The Beading Company has applied to the 2fcw York Stock Exchange to have Its $40, 000,009 new stock listed.

A Deal on Penn Avenue and One In the East Llbsrty Hub Brokers ShowrGood Figures for Midsummer Owneit Keep Their Grip. Down-town property has been quiet for some time so far as actual sales have been concerned, but the inquiry has been good right along. Nearly all the leading brokers have promising deals pn hand. The first sale in this quarter for several weeks was closed to-day. Black & Baird sold No. 800 Penn avenue, corner of Eighth street, for Thomas D. Messier, the Pennsylvania Ball road man, toL. Goldsmit, Bro. & Co., tho Liberty street tobacconists, for $17,500. 'the lot is 25x110. Tho building is of small value. Tne purchasers contemplate the erectlfti ora large warehouse for the accom modation ot their business. The Burchfleld properties, fronting 132 feet on South Highland avenue by 141 to to Wllberforce street, with two good brick houses, changed ownership on Saturday, the consideration being in tbe neighborhood of $35,000. The object of these purchases could not be ascertained. There are two re portsone that they are In the interest of a public institution, and the other that they will result in a large business house. Being in the heart of East Liberty, the property is admirably adapted to either purpose. This is the first Important transaction in the "hub" inco the sale of the Kubn property, nearly a year ago. Building schemes, large and small, con tinue to come forward. Morris & Aisbitt to day sold a lot 65x120 on Frazter street to W. P. Sunderland, on which he will erect a fine residence. The same firm sold four lots in the same locality to C. H. Jcnks & Co., upon which they will at once break ground for three good-class houses. William Orton will this week start two neat frame dwellings on Svcamore street, Duquesne Heights, in the vicinity of the new 51. E. Church. This quarter will soon enjoy the advantages of rapid transit. The movement In East End property is quite brisk for the season. Moore & Kelly's sales for the past month foot up neatly $100, 090. The two largest wore for $30,000 and $27,000 respectively. Other East Eud brokers report satisfactory results for the same period. Business of this magnitude is n suf ficient refutation of the statement now and then made that realty Is dull. Theie has seldom beeh abetter Inquiry than at pres ent, seldom more cash sales and seldom more money seeking sa'e and profitable in vestment. Realty is in good shape for a brisk fall trade. McWilliams & Co. a few days' ago had a customer lor the Rich proporty, on Tioga street. Twenty-first ward. It embraces about 2 acres. They offered $12,000 for It, which was refused. The offer was materi ally increased, but with no better success. The owner finally said he would not name a price, thus putting un end to the dicker. This Incident is mentioned to show that owners aro as firmly sot as ever against making concessions,nnd feeling tho strength of their position, they are holding off for better offors. Six permits were issued by Chief Clerk Spratt, of the Building Inspector's office, yesterday for seven improvements, aggre gating $16,850. Those of importance are: W. L. Bell, two brick dwellings, on Faclflo avenue. Twentieth wnrd, $12,000: Miss Mary McClatn, frame dwelling, on Aiken avenue, Twentieth ward, $3,090: William Davison, lrnme alditlnn, on Solio street. Thirteenth ward, $950. The others ranged from $253 to $450. There"is talk of extending Kelly street, Wilkinsburg, eastward by tunneling under the railroad. Waltor Morris, of Morris 4 Aisbitt, started on Ms summer outing yesteiday. His objective point is Cheat river. ' Plans and specifications for the Heeien building, corner Eighth street and Penn avenue, nave been submitted to tho Building Inspector for examination and approval. A new town has been laid out near the city, and the opening sale or lots will be ad vertised In The Dispatch in a 'ew days. The inatket house in McEeesport pays about 8 per cent on tho capital invested. It Is thought a similar concern would pay equally well In East Liberty. This should encourage thoso who have been agitating this matter for a year or more. A number of neat dwellings are goins up on and near Elizabeth street, between Glen wood and Hnzelwood. Ground has been broken in the samo locality for a manufactur ing concern. The third time should be the charm. It is the Euwer property, on Murray avenue, that Is being prepared for the market. Theie is no Enweror Enmer. Lots on Atlantic avenue which sold last October at $50 a foot front aro now held at $70 and $75. The Mellon-Andrews deal, in the Twen- JULY ;19, 189a tieth ward, handled by Sklvington and Ped dor, was reported In this column nearly a month ago. A. J. Pentecost sold lots 6 and 7 In his Madison avenne plan, Tenth ward, Alle gheny, for $250 each. E. T. Schaffner sold lot No. 205 on Phillips avenue, in tbe South Tlew plan.opposite the Sontbside Cemetery, on the Suburban Rapid Transit Electric Railway, to Samuel L. Eveyfor $150. This makes the seventh lot sold In this plan within the Inst few weeks. Black & Baird sold to James McKissock lot 51 in the John A. Roll plan, at Linden station, for $500. John K.Ew1ng & Co. sold to S. B. Cook a lot 24x154 on Ellis nvnnns. In the Mavfleld plan, Tenth ward, Allegheny, for $525. . x. iiumnetc it uo. sola a uouuieirame dwelling, with lot 66x100. corner or Pitt and Rebecca streets, Wilkinsburg, for $6,500.

Dealers continue to talk about npward tendency of canned goods to tbe exclusion of everything else. New crop is steadily appreciating In value, and in consequence 1891 goods are getting up to a point where dealerB inay.be able to get out on the remainder of stock at about cost. California prunes, as well as apricots, seem to be under strong bull!sh" Influence. At all events there were reports In cirrulatlon on Satur day that (ISc f. o. b. coast had been bid bere of 50s to 90s, In bags. ' Advices from San Franclseo:staie that growers are standing for 3c per pound there for new crop California lima beans. Sales of new crop California prunes hare been made for forward delivery at Sc f. o. b. for the four sizes. This price has since been bid for additional parcels and declined. A few purchases of new evaporated California peaches hare been made at 1010Hc f. o. b. on the coast by New Tork jobbers. Apricots are quoted at 1113C there, according to quality and ship ment. Holders are now quoting $1 80t 85 for standard 3-1 n Southern peaches. $1 50 upward fur 3-1 b sec onds, $1 30 for 2-lb standards and $2 75 for gallons. Sales of the latter have bsen made at tne price quoted. According to all accounts the crop of pears In New York State will be light, and the canning of the fruit consequently on a moderate srale. As high as $2 it was paid In New Tor for a car load of gallon apples for shipment to the West, and $2 50 Is now asked for desirable goods by most holders.
