ADVAHCES EACH ONE PER CENT.
The Bemainder of the List Settled in the
Hut of Stagnation.
EONDB EQTJAUT A8 DULL AB STOCIS
New Yokk, July 19. The dullness in
the stock market continued to-day, and
seldom has there been a day when the trans
actions possessed so little interest from all
points of ylew. There is no disposition to
buy, and an almost total absence of selling
orders, even the traders for the time being
ont of the market For a parallel to
the present
the Stock
stagnation in business at
Exchange we must go
the summer of 1885,
back to
but the apathy of all classes of operators
which now prevails was hardly equaled at
that time, especially as the crop and busi
ness conditions outside of the Stock Ex
chance were not as promising as they are at
present The discussion of the possible
continuance of the gold movement is now
the only subject of special importance
whioh receives attention on the street, but
this is principally (rom the would-be bears
who cling to the only condition which has
brought them any comfort of late.
There was nothing which could be called
a feature until well into the afternoon, when
the execution of a tew orders in New York
Central and Lake Shore ran each of them up
about 1 per cent The buying was for in
vestment and was soon satisfied. The close
was stagnant at about first prices.
Railroad bonds were equally as dull as
stocks, though the transactions were spread
over a large number of issues, and a firm
temper prevailed throughout The trading
reached only S881.000.
Government bonds were dull and heavy.

Market Opinions.
Watson & Gibson to Oakley & Co.: '"Re
ports of the Kichmond Committee are ex
pected within a day or so, and an actual
step toward reorganization, it is hoped, will
then be taken. Edison Electric was in
good demand, and predictions of higher
prices for it are made. Good weather is
now reported in the com belt, and the con
dition of the corn crops is said to have ma
terially improved since June 1."
From Sproul & Co.'s market letter:
"Gold shipments are not considered prob
able this week, and under all the circum
stances the Ecalning operations which made
up the day's trading reflected a slightly
bullish tone."

CHICAGO 'CHANGE.
Fears or the Hatch Bill OSstand Generally
Bullish News.
Chicago, July 19. A fair volume of Dnsi
sess was transacted on the board to-day
despite the fears of traders in connection
with the expected consideration of the
Hatch bill by the Senate. In the wheat pit
the advices were generally bullish, but the
anti-option bill exerted a depressing influ
ence and checked what tnUht otherwise
have been a decided bull market, and prices
at the close, were uncnansed from yester
day's market Corn lost Xo. being Weak on

and the free realizing sales, and oats acted
in sympathv with corn. There was some
realization tiythe provision clique which
resulted in lower prices for that product.
There was a great accnmulation of bullish
news on wheat The weather in England
was cold and wet Reports from the North
west were also discouraging as to the out
look for spring wheat which one estimate
stated would not exceed 70 per oent of an
average. Wheat on ocean passage decreased
during the week,2,O24,000 bushels. Liverpool
was quoted at the opening firmer and Id
higher. Cargoes in London, 36d higher.
Nightingale, of New York, wiled that ho
had cable acceptances for new wheat to bo
BhlDped in August at 6d advance on former
prices. Other New Tork houses with conti
nental conwetions telegraphed that Ant
werp and Pasj were both cabling for offers
of wheat for August The receipts hero
were 405 cars, 187 of which were new, and 76
of the latter grade No. 2. The seaboard clear
ances from the four principal Atlantic cities
amounted to about 703,000 bushels, including
flour. Closing cables were: Liverpool,, Id
higher than yesterday; London, 7d higher;
Antwerp, 12 centimes higher; Paris, 2530
contimes up on flour and 5 centimes higher
for distant deliveries of wheat; Berlin, 2m
higher.

CONDITION OP THE LOCAL BANKS
Tuesday, July 19.
The principal feature of the local stock
market to-day was furnished by "Westing
house Airbrake. More stook was pressed
for sale, and it was offered down to 125 be
fore the offerings were absorbed. The sales
were accompanied by reports tha( the
works at Wilmerding were running only
four days a week and that the company was
'building a warehouse in which to store its
excessive 'production, the presumption be
ing, of course, that the company was find
ing a slow market tor its wares. None of
the officials conld be seen this afternoon re
garding the matter, and whether the
reports are well founded or not re
mains to be seen. If it is true
that the works are running on two-thirds
time and that a building is needed to store
production in, there is probably some satis
factory explanation of it all. Anyway, it
is hardly probable there Is anything bearish
in the company's condition and prospects.
It is quite likely tho sales or late have been
tho result of a desire to realize profits. A
good many "got in",at 1C0 about a. year ago.
Since that time they have not only seen
their holdings appreciate in value some
thing more than $30 per share, but they have
also gathered in $17K per share in the way
of dividends. When the stock halted
above 130 and subsequently commenced
to sag, what wonder that they
should be induced to take their
big profits while they couldt The
stock pavs 20 per cent on par (501 and at 125
It yields 7K Per cent, which is quite enough,
though some argue that stocks of Inrge
manufacturing concerns should pay at least
10 per cent on their mat feet price That the
companv has enormous earning powers has
been very clearly demonstrated during the
past 12 months, and the prospects are cer
tainly far from discouraging.
The other stocks tiaded in on 'Change
were Citizens' Traction, Philadelphia Com
pany and Pittsburg Traction, but neither of
them furnished any noreworthy feature.
Citizens' Traction sold at 62. closing at 61
62J, something of a decline; Pittsburg Trac
tion sold at 58J4 also a decline of a half point
from the last previous sale, and Philadelphia
Company sold at 183. closing at 183i182
and in improved demand.
Central Traction closed sllghtlv above
Monday's final bid; Pleasant Valley Railway
appeared to be a suggestion firmer at 2K
25; Duquesno Traction was firm at 28Ji
28K; P. & B. Traction closed barely steady at
25bidand P., A. & M. Traction at 45
asked; Union Swltoh and Signal was steady
nt 1G163, with only 10 shares bid for; Les
ter was quoted as 9K10K. with the feeling
somewhat mixed; Electric (old) was offered
at 18, and all the other items were without
a shadow of change. Some of the brokers
thought they noticed an improving inquiry,
but so far as surface indications were a cri
terion there wei e no indications of an early
increase in the volume of business. Any
change, however, must necessarily be for
the better.
Low-Priced Oil.
The price of crude oil touched tho
lowest point to-day (51o) established
by sales since the time of the
Penn Bank's failure to put the Standard Oil
Company's nose to the grindstone, in 1884,
when the market fell to 50c August 8,1891.
the market opened at 58c and closed at
SOc, as the result of tho removal ot the pre
minm on oil. There were no sales on the
local floor at SOc, however, and the next
morning the market opened at OOcadvanced
to CCVc, and closed at 65c. On August 14
oil closed at 69c, but since that time the
tendency has Deen gradually downward. At
current prices tlje producers are in close
touch, with bankruptcy; but there is only one
buyer, and no remedies, no matter how des
perate and heroic, will avail them anything
as long as existing conditions prevail.

No Need of Treasury Action.
It is not surprising that there should be n
revival of tho discussion of means of dis
couraging gold exports, snys the New York
Bulletin. With the Treasury gold fund lower
than in many years, and exports continuing
in spite of conditiousseemiogly unfavorable
to such transactions, it is natural that tii
attention of bankers and Treasury officials
should be attracted to the question as to
whether something cannot be done to dis
courage gold shipments when 'the condi
tions are not such as to make them natural
and necessary. It is an old question, and
the Treasury has already made some efforts
In this direction: but they have not and can
not amount to much. Action on the part of
tne oanKs is iuulc icgikiuiuvu tmu less nicely
to have bad effect Bo far as the gold move
ment Is forced and unnatural, it may be pos
sible to interpose obstacles, and right
enough for banks to pursue such a course.
Governmental action is more significant
however, and more closely watched, and
anything that looks like timidity on the
part of the Treasury does mora harm than
good. Nor is there any present necessity for
Treasury action. Although the gold Tund
Is low, revennes are increasing, currency
conditions changing, and the outlook favor
able to the maintenance of thegold fund and
a slight gradual gain; while the defeat of
free coinage has a tendency to Increase con
fidence that the dangers ot the silver situa
tion are to be avoided. (

GRAIN TRADE STAGNANT.
Supplies and Receipts Largely In Excess of
Ihe Demand Hay and Feed Firm
Grooerles and Provisions Strong Dairy,
Farmyard and Garden Stnff Active.
Tuesday, Jnly 19.
The local grain trade is demoralized.
Commission men say the market is glutted
with stuff, that there is practically no de
mand; that receipts are heavy, and that for
the moment a degreee of stagnation hereto
fore unKnown prevails. Flour is steady,
however, and a fair demand is noted, to
gether with a firmer feeling in the North
west Hay is rather scarce, in demand and
higher, and feed is sympathizing. In
groceries and provisions no changes are
noted. Hog products continuo active and
strong at Saturday's advance, and the feat
ure of the grocery list, as for some time
past, continues to be the stiong upward
tendency of many descriptions of canned
goods. In dairy, farmyard and garden stuff
the movement continues to rule active,
tiade to-day being particularly good, con
sidering the unfavorable weather.

the way lrom 15c to 16c. Poultry was in

PKEPABATIONS FOR TH2 PICNICS.
Putting Tip Bonuses for the Privilege of!
Dancing to Pipes.
A new feature has been added to th
orphan picnic to-day. Barney Farrell, the
noted Irish piper, has been secured and will,
be there with his Scotch bagpipes and
Highland costume. James A, McNally
pays ?25 for the first heel and toe jig, and
Alderman Riley and Edward S. Kennedy,
of the Southside, will draw cnts for th
second one at (20. The dispute between Felix
McKnight and the piper about colors, solos
and platforms has been adjusted. Joseph
Pollock will have a platform built for each,
and the "harp that once through Tara'a
halls" resounded will be thumped from aa
elevation beautified by Scotch thistles and
Scotch colors, while Barney Parrell will
squeeze the pipes under green twig3 and
green flags on a separate platform.
None of these amusements will interfere)
in any way with Herman Handel,
The trend of his eloquence will be un
broken by any diversion, and he is liable to
furnish as much music as the harp and
Scotch bagpipes combined.
"Laylow" Williams has his team of don
keys in subjection at las', and will make)
the start with Ajax Jones and his four-in
band about 2 o'clock.
Governor Pattison is expected to visit
the grounds during the afternoon.

Ealph Israel, a boy of 10 years, who insists
on running away from his home on Elm
street, Allegheny. He has this last time
been absent since July 1L He wore a red,
