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.

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. Lard sold

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.
A few shares of Westinghouse Airbrake
were pressed for sale and were offered down
to 126K before they fonnd a purchaser. It
closed offered at 127, without showing any
thing like real weakness. Airbrake is not a
stock to yield much at present notwith
standing the dullness.
In the remainder of the list few note
worthy features were presented. Luster
was offered down to 10 and bid up to 9,
but there was no uctive skirmishing on
either Bide. Electric closed offered at 18,
Underground Cable at 76, U. S. Glass com
mon at 60. Union Switch and Signal pre
ferred at 40, and everything else usually bid
for and offered ruled unchanged from last
week's closing prices. Exchange National
Bank, Bbwever, was offered down Ji at 85.
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.

REALTY PICKING UP.
TWO IMPORT t NT TRANSACTIONS AND
SEVERAL OsJ LESS NOTE.
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.

gheny, for $250 each.
E. T. Schaffner sold lot No. 205 on Phillips
avenue, in tbe South Tlew plan.opposite the

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

onds, $1 30 for 2-lb standards and $2 75 for gallons.
Sales of the latter have bsen made at tne price

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
