F- THE PITTSBUKG DISPATCH. TUESDAY. JUX.T ' 26, 189a 11 BULLS IN CONTROL. They Fail,. However, to Brin? About Any Improvement of Consequence. -- SUGAR LEADS IN BUOYANCY, But a hmruier of .Specialties and Strength. Show Life A BETTER DEMAND FOR INVESTMENT Xew Yobk, July 25. There was no change In the character of the trading to-day, and while the bull' seemed to have the npper hand for the time being the improvement in quotation s,outside of sucaraud a few special ties, was of the smallest kind and dullness continned to he the prevailing feature. Brokers lay some stress npon an Increasing demand for investment stock and bonds, but the open market shows as yet none of the effects of this buying, and the purchases made at the board are for the most part by the professional element in covering its shorts: and, taken in connection with the demand for certain stocks in the loan crowd, t ho market is largely oversold in comparison with its size. To-day there was no animation except in St. Paul, Erie, Atchison and sugar, but while all were strong only the last fluctuated over a range of more than 1 per cent, but among the specialties Minneapolis A St. Louis, both common and prelerred, Mth Evansville & Terre Haute and Great Northern preferred, scored handsome pains on light transac tions. The rest of the market was extremely dull with scarcely any perceptible change in quotations and utterly barren of featuio. The market closed barely steady at the concessions, but with most stocks at small fractions better than at the cloo of last week. Sujar, however, retained most of its early advance and closed 1 per cent higher. Railroad bonds were also dull and uninter esting throucbout the session, and despite the animation in Northern Pacific 5s, which contributed $119,000 to the days total ot f934,o00, the final chances are insignificant apart from those in a few inactive issues.

The wrath to come was measurably indicated by the heit in the trading pits to-day, but the operators strug gled with it in negliie ontins shirts and pantaloons with nralsewoitliy'enerRy and disregard of the buoyancy of the mercury. It was a bull day, led by corn, which was well supported by provisions and received countenance, though or a subdued kind from wheat. The chances since Saturday aic an advance in corn of lc. in pork of from 17Jc 10 32e, and in wheat of Jc The heat nnukct Mas Arm under appre hension of damage to spring wheat Irom the hot weather. The reports from the North west dlCered somen hat, but generally con ceded considerable damage already done by rust. The bullishness in corn was of much assistance to the bulls Receipts to-day at the point were 14S cars or new it heat, St. Louis held up to Saturday's pieaictlous, the amount being 350,000 bushels. Minneapolis also had heavier receipts, numbering 306 carloads. Cables were easier. Liverpool re porting K1 decline, and the weather in Eng land favorable. The visible supply showed an inciease of 639 000 bn.hels. Under these influences the market weakened for a few minutes and then rallied and became firm again. Corn was the most active and strongest of tne articles traded in on the Board. Talk has been rife in the pits lor some days about posiblo damage to the growing crop from extreme heat, so this morning, witli the thermometer ranging near the nineties, op erators who noted the effects on their sys tems were ready to believe anything of its effect on tender corn plants. Therefore n published dispatch Irom Wichita. Knn.. which said thnt hot winds had done great injury to corn from the Colorado line for a distance of 150 miles eastward in Kansas n as at offce active in boosting values. Notwith standing reports or general improvement in the crop outside of those which came from Kansa, the sudden impairment in that section n as enough of a disappointment to make holding prices comparatively easy and the decrease in the visible supply aided In a further bulse to 50&c, and the close was Jc lower. ' Oats made an advance of JKc more be cause corn rnlea higher than because of any direct bull influence.

Trading in Local Securities Continues ' on an Insignificant Scale, BUT P.JICES REMAIN STEADY. Union Switch and Signal Looks as if It Was Going Higher. GOSSIP. SALES AND CLOSING PRICES MONDAT, July 25. The market for local securities to-day was almost as dull as death. Very little life was observable in any direction. No one, apparently, cared to either bay or sell stocks; no one, with very few exceptions, would talk stocks, and therefore stocks were more or less neglected. The same, also, may be said of bonds, and, in fact, of anything and everything in which the street is usually interested when a normal condi tion of affairs exists. Bankers and brokers, as a rule, were more inclined to discuss the industrial situation, the latest developments at Camp Black, or the mental con dition and probable disposition of As sassin Berkman than to talk about business; and now and then one was discovered who had no ears for anything but discussion of the beauties of "some vast wilderness, some boundless contiguity of shade." And so it went the day wearing wearily away in the melting midsummer sun and leaving little business and few features in its wake. The items' covered by the trading at the Exchange were Westinghous Electric (new), Pleasant Vallev Railway. Philadelphia Com pany and Luster Mining Company, with firmness shown by all, though in the in stances of the Philadelphia Company and Luster it did not look as if the buyers really wanted the stock they bid for and got. In deed both buyers subsequently offered their purchases at the 'prices paid. There was a generally firm feeling on these shares, however, as well as on the en tire list, which, to. say the least, was en couraging considering the groat dullness. Outside the shares traded in, Central Trac tion and Duquesne Traction were strong under a continued fair demand; the other street railways were steady to firm: West inghouse Electric (old) was easier; bids for options on Union Switch and Signal re flected a belief in higher prices and others were utterly featureless. Tho Motollna Circular.

'Xne Pittsburg and Mexico Tin Mining Company, whose mines aro at Portillos, CoL, near Durango, recently sent a carload of good tin to New York. Three tin mines are now being worked by this company. The ore, after being washed, effecting a certain amount of concentration, shows 40 per cent of tin. Operations are to be pushed ou a large scale. Denver Miner. Vice President Webb, of New York Central, says earnings of his road and Lake Shore are away above normal and must be con sidered exceptional. Suits are threatened against the Whisky Trust combination by some financiers who have been prominent in its management. It is hinted that an overhauling of the trust's books will show how dividends have been declared when they were not earned. One of the leading brokers to-clav strongly recommended the buying of street railway shares for a long pull, and Intimated that there would do a Dettor aeinana lor I'lilln delDbia Company at 25 than there is now. lie also stated' his belief to be that a contract existed between the Central Traction Com pany and the Pittsburg-Duquesne combine; that the former would sell up to 35 by Janu ary L 1893, by which time the latter would be iu control: that tbe street railways of the two cities would be consolidated under one management ultimately ana that the city terminus of all of them would be in a grand union depot somewhere in the neighborhood of the market house.

INDUSTRIAL FIGDKES. Tbe Advance in Pittsburg Realty Doe to Le gitimate Causes How It Has Moved Up In the Last Few Tears Special News and Gossip. It is interesting, and instructive as well, to note the steady and constant increase iu realty values in the last few years. Several causes have contributed to this result The city has crown remarkably in population and wealth, widening and emphasizing the demand for property of all kinds; the lim ited area of the strictly business quarter has occasioned keen competition for business stands and sites; and the lntioduction of rapid transit into the suburban districts has made a large scope of territory available for homes. Values have only kept step with the steadily biondenlng market and increasing demand. There have been no booms, no speculative spurts followed by depression. Advanced positions have been maintained. Real estate Is as firmly held to-day as at any former time in the history of the city. A few figures will present this matter in a still clearer light. A property on Smlth fleld stteet was sold four years ago for $2,000 a foot front. It Is now held nt $3,000. A lot with a fairly good building on Fifth avenue, near Grant street, changed hands in 1885 at $17,000. It could not be bought to-day for less than $50,000. On the lower part of the same avenue a property marketed a fow venrs ago at $90,000 is now valued at nearly $"200,000. On Fourth avenue values have risen in thi oe or four years from $2,000 a foot front tc $3,000. Suburban realty has en hanced in almost equal proportion. That the advance is permanent is shown by the indisposition of owners to part with their holdings. They contend that there is no in vestment so good as tbe property itself. Fourteen permits were issued to-day for 15 buildings and alterations, aggregating in cost $19,277. Tbe largest are: M. J. Mnllln, brick dwelling on Atwood street,Fourteenth ward, $5,000; John Mansteil, frame dwelling on O'Hara street, Twentieth ward, $2,500; Thomas Cappell, brick dwelling on Atwood street, Fourteenth ward, $3,200; Mrs. Katie Gauss, frame dwelling on Yew street, Nlne- teentn ara, sj.ojz; jurs. lena A.oxterman, two frame dwellings on Friendship alley, Sixteenth ward, $1,500. A dicker is in progress for a property ior inerly occupied by a bank. Tioga street, Brushton, is a handsome thoroughfare. Nearly all the improvements are new and of a good class. A $7,000 school building is to be erected in Canton, O. Guy Ttlden is the architect. The remainder of the Christ Church prop erty will be closed out this week. This means two more fine business houses in the central part of the city. Tbe Lutheran congregation, of Sharps burg, has purchased a fine lot and will erect a handsome church thereon at once. Tbe completion of the electric' railway on Jit. Washington will be a good thing for that interesting locality. It win put a large number of good, Tiheap lots in the market and thus facilitate home-building. Two or three transactions in the Highland Park district have been practically closed in the last few days. The sale by Peter Shields of 11 acres in the Greenfield avenue district for , subdivision shows that interest in that quarter is un abated. The streets of Wilmerdlng arebeln? fixed up and sldewalked. This is one of tho most progressive towns In the county. George Anshers will this week break ground for two brick bouses on Mt. Troy, UI bll juuuiuj,vi vu((w, John K. Ewing & Co.' sold to Joseph C.

Monday, July 25. The first business day of the week is, as a rule, a quiet one in wholesale mecantile circles, and to-day was no exception to the rule. There was nothing of consequence doing in any branch of trade, and nearly all the talk heard was based on the labor troubles. Any suggestions made regarding the future were weighed with provisos the arguments being that trade would be good or bad as the industrial situation im proved or grew more depressing. Accord ing to general reports the markets were un changed from last week, grain being reported dull and weak, hay and(fecd bonyant, groceries and provisions steady to strong, dairy products Arm, and farmyard and garden stuff irregular. Grain, Flour and Feed. No sales occurred on cull at the Grain and Flour Exchange to-day, and so little interest was manifested in the proceedings that tho ton-day call was dispensed with. The table was loaded with samples, epeoially of oats, but they received very little inspection. The market for grain continues dull to stag nation and quotations mav be regarded as nominal. Hay and mill "feed are in fair de mand, however, though there is very little offering at even the advanced views of buy ers. The bids and offers made are ap pended: SPOT. Bid.

The boom in canned goods shows no signs of collapsing. Prices continue to ad vance and the character of the news from primary points is still bullish. Otherwise the grocery market at the moment is fea tureless.
