THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. THURSDAY, JULY 21, 189a 11 6 s GRANGERS IN DEMAND Owing to the More Hopeful Accounts Begarding the Corn Crop. STRENGTH IN THE INDUSTRIALS. Beading and the Vanderbilts Continue to L'nle Strong. EAILEOAD BONDS ACTIYE AKD FIKM New Tork, July 20. The more hopeful accounts received of the possibilities of the corn crop again bring the Granger shares to the front of the market, and to-day St. Paul and Burlington were leaders in activity, though overshadowed by the Industrials in the early dealings, and, responsive to the better feeling, showed a slow but steady appreciation in values throughout lhe great er portion of the day. The confidence of the insiders was seen in the prominence of Heading in the market and the stubborn ness with which its price was maintained, and with the strength in the Industrials, especially Sugar and Cordage, the features of the day's operations were exhausted, with the exception of the unusual strength in the Vanderbilts on very light transac tions. The buying in them continued right along up to the end of the session, and the market thereiore closed quiet bnt strong at the highest price of the day. Railroad bonds were also more active and stronger, but while there was a better dis tribution of business, the active issues were changed but slightly from the last previous sales. The sales extended to 51, 21G.000. Government bonds were dull and heavy. Close of the list: TJ. S. 4s. rcg TJ S. 4. COUD II. s. -JSs. re Pacific 6s of '95 Louisiana stamp 4s Tcnn. new set 6s....

From Sproul & Ca's market letter: 'The buying of the Vanderbilt shares is at tributed to parties who desire to introduce some show of activity into the market and to Vanderbilt buying for investment. "While the rates for loreign exchange are quoted as having hardened some, it is said there is little probability of further gold shipments this week. A report .of the sub committee on Bichmond affairs is expected late this afternoon or eariy to-morrow, but, it is said, will refer principally to the float ing debt of the Danville Company. The fear of the passage of the anti-option bill is lessening as time progresses, on' the belief that Congress will adjourn without action on it The market is justifying our frequent predictions made for sometime past, of gradually advancing prices, on the existing favorable condition and outlook. Sugar was remarkably strong toward the close, and was the leader in points of activity and advance in price. It is booked for 105, -and probably 110, the knowing ones say."

The markets on the board were all characterized by firmness to-day, but speculation was limited by fear of the anti-option bill. Wheat closed JJc higher than yesterday, but corn and pi o visions were scarcely changed from yester day's prices. Eaily advices affecting wheat were of a mixed character. Cables reported the Liverpool market lower and trade dull, while Bristol cabled that new Bussian wheat was freely offered tneie. The clear ances were small, the winter wheat outlook Btlll maintained its promise and the specu lative business was at a low ebb. But to offset this there came some bad reports from the Northwest, where rust was said to be making its appearance in the wheat fields of Minnesota anil the Dakota'. Clos ing cables were a trifle firmer. Receipts here were 253 cars and in the Northwest 209 cars. Bradstreet leported a decrease of 1,131,000 in the stocks on both sides of the Ttockios. Corn was steady and firm: there was talk of dry weather in the corn belt which was retarding the development 01 the crop, while the sti ength in wheat and good buying by some prominent operators gave the market a rather stronc bias.

VERY FEW WEAK SPOTS SHOWN. Condition of Bridgeirater Gas as Shown at the Annual Meeting. CUEEENT GOSSIP, SALES AND PBICES "Wednesday, July 20. A few more small lots of "Weitinghouse Airbrake were thrown on the market to day in a realizing way, but they were well taken at 125. More could have been mar keted at the same price, notwithstanding there was no bidding, hut offerings after the sales at 125 were all at 125) There may be further realizing sales, but the street generally does not believe the stock is going much, if any, below 125. Faith in the company and its prospects is very itrong. Those who ought to know say it has as much work in hand, and in prospect as ever, and that the works are being run quite np to the usual midsummer pace. The other shares traded in on call were Philadelphia Company, Citizens' Traction, and Central Traction, and when, in connection with this, it is stated that transactions aggregated but 135 shares, a fair illustration of the market's narrowness and dullness is given. These characteristics have not as vet. however. superinduced any material weakness. On the contrary, the list generally is holding steady to film, with only here and there a slight softening dne to special cause. There is scarcely a stock on the board that would not quickly respond to a little good support. Philadelphia Company sold at 1S18. closing at the same range; Citizens' sold at 6 another slight loss, and Central Trac tion sold in a small way at 29, closing at 28 23. A quiet demand for P. & B. Traction was noted, as well as a disposition to give Lus ter another upward twist, but there was no noticeable change excepting In Luster, which moved up to 10 bid against 9 at the previous olose. The stock is so held that its price can be manipulated at will, but if there are any shorts and they can stay short they will ultimately come out with a profit, or some very knowledgeous people are in error. If Luster proves to be worth any thing it will be a very pleasant surprise. In the remainder of the list no prominent features developed. Union Switoh and Signal was steady to stiong: U. 8. Glass and People's Plpeage were a little soft: P. & B. Traction was barely steady at 2525JJ, uespite me report 01 an improved inquiry, and others were unchanged from previous quotations. Condition of Brldgewater Gxs. At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Bridgewater Gas Company President Uieene submitted the following report of the business of tho company for the year ending June 30, 1S92: RECEIPTS. From gas r.210,653 57 From oil 34,000 00 Total (244,653 57 OrlRATIXG EXPENSES.

For the year ending June 30, 1891, the President's report shows the percentages to be respectlvelv 30 3-10 and 69 7-10, or nearly the same as shown for the past year. The recipts for oil the past year; owing principally to the very low price of that product, are $40,776 32 less than for the preceding year, while tbe re ceipts for gas are in excess this year over tue preceuing year $29.tt w.

The Position of the Market Favorable to Crrenter Activity Groundless Appre hensions of a Lot Famine Hillside Property in Favor With Small In vestors for Homes. The realty market displays the usual mid summer characteristics. It is dull only by contrast with the more active portions of the year. Brokers, almost without excep tion, report more business than a year ago. Many leading dealers declare that in the long run more money is being made than in periods of abnormal activity. The market is Bteady and reliable. Values are real, a tact recognized not only by in vestors, ont by banking institutions as well. From these premises it is easy to reach the conclusion that the situation is full of real strength. Such dullness as exists repre sents a lack of speculative activity and not of investment interest. Almost "any kind or property offered on a fair basis is sure of a ready market. Another phase of the market merits at tention. Judging from the great number of sales effected during the last few years, not a few people have reached the conclusion that the stock of building sites is becoming uncomfortably small. There is no ground for such an opinion. The extension of rapid transit into the outlying districts has made a magnificent addition to tho visible supply. It sti etches all the way from tbe city proper to Braddock on the east and down the river toSewickley. The outer waids are full of it, while on the North and Southsldes there are miles and miles of unim proved land as good as any that has been taken up. Nearly all of this is, or soon will be, convenient of access. Im- firoved locomotion has put more property nto tbe market than buyers have taken out. Homeseekers, Therefore, especially those of limited means, should entertain no fears for the immediate future, hillside lots are no longer dead stock. They sell as readily as any other property and bring good prices. Forty years ago they could not be given away. About that time the late James McGinness commenced buying up land along tho hillsides of Solio. He was a wise man and foresaw the possibil ities of this kind of property after tho occu pation or the lowlands by industrial con cerns. He loaded up with this kind or stuff and bided his time. That he made money by the operation is certain, for he left an estate valued at $500,000. Poor people are al most the only purchasers of this sort of lealty, and they turn it to good account, as is demonstrated by the hundreds of com fortable homes on the hillsides or Soho and Oakland, Allegheny and the Southside. Hillside lots aro worth looking after. Ten permits were issued to-day for the same number of improvements, aggregating $10,580. The largest arc: Mrs. Mary Nichol son, frame dwelling on Lowell street, Twenty-first ward, $.2,000; Samuel Jarvis, frame dwelling on Meridian street. Thirty-filth ward, $1,800; Glass, frame dwelling on Addison street, Thirteenth ward, $1,750; Charles Zalewski, brick dwelling on Breroton avenue, Thirteenth ward, $2,800; Sophia Stanton, brick store room on Forbes street, rouriceiin wiu, fj,. W. B. Scaife & Sons have started a large building on the Baltlmoie and Ohio R.ill road, near Elizabeth street, Hazelwood. Report has it that it will bo used for the manufacture oftinplate. Colonel W.A. Herron, or W. A. Herron & Sons, has been laid up for several days front a severe cold. Now that the title to the Scheutzen Park has been settled by the Supreme Court it will be put actively on the market. It was plotted several years ago. Rev. Thomas Chapman has Just completed two handsome brick dwellings on tbe corner of Libertv and Atlantic avenues. Sylvan Terrace, Oakland, possesses all the requisites for pleasant homes. It is now in the market. .,.,, Lots on tho Southslae have been sold within a. week as low as $25. It will be a long time before the supply of cheap prop erty Is exhausted. George Dubarry is building two neat houses on Atlantic avenue, near Liberty. A lot has been secured on "Carson street, Southside, near Oliver's Eighteenth street mill, for a four-story apartment house. Thomas Miller will soon break ground in Fahnestock place.Homewood.for four or six bouses. He has one under way. Tbose who think Improvement is lagging should visit the Greenfield avenue district in the lower wards of Allegheny and learn better. . . . W. A. Herron & Sons to-day closed the sale of a farm of 100 acres at Herron station, Richland township, on the Pittsburg and Western Railroad, for $10,000. It will be de veloped for oil.

A short time ago the Canadian Government; through tho the British Charge d'Aflaires at 'Washington, made formal application to Secretary Fos ter, of the State Department, for the re lease under bond of the British supply steamer Coqnitlan, recently seized at Port Etchez, Alaska, by the revenue steamer Corwin, for violating United States cus toms regulations Id transferring her cargo in American waters without a per mit It is understood that the Secretary of State has informed the representative or the British Government that the request cannot be complied with in its present torra, forthe reason that the vessel has been trans ferred to the custody of the United States Marshal at Sitka, for proceeding under the law, and the case is no longer within the jurisdiction of the executive branch of tbe Government. This position is taken, so it is said, on the theory that the United States Court, before which the case has been presented, is now the sole tribunal to determine the question of the vessel's release under bond. Inas much as the Canadian authorities appear to be determined to secure the release of the Coquitlan as soon as possible, it 13 more than probable they will institute legal pro ceedings to that end at the earliest oppor tunity. The impression here is that the court will nndonbtedly restore the vsssel to its owners on the giving of bonds suffi cient to meet all possible penalties in the eve'nt ot conviction.
