EAILKOAD BONDS FIRM AND ACTIVE
Kew Xork, July 26. The stock market
to-day displayed a little more animation
during the forenoon, and while this is re
garded as only an incident in the dullness
now prevalent, the strength in a few stocks
points to the formation of pools here and
there in the list whose operations may serve
as the nucleus of a more extended upward
movement in the market when the time is
ripe for it. The industrials now occupy
most of attention, and to-day while Sugar
was by no means neglected it was less prom
inent than during the last few days, and
Distillers and the Cotton Oil stocks were
successively brought forward and advanced.
This prominence of the industrials, those
which are well-known to be subjects of
manipulation, is looked upon with some
disfavor by many who look for a more sub
stantial movement in the market, but in
the past material gains in the railroad list
have been inaugurated by the lifting of the
industrials.
The railroad list for some time responded
to the buying and considerable activity was
developed in Erie, Atchison, liock Island
and St. Paul, but the movements in the
stocks mentioned were no more than the
final operations in the movements of
the last lew. days, and they soon
died away, the whole "railroad
list sinking back into dullness, with
almost utter stagnation in values. A sharp
and sudden rise in Lake Shore on the exe
cution of n. tew bnviug orders was followed
by the same collapse, ana the low-priced and
inactive shares ceueraUy were uarren of
feature to the close, which was 'very dull
and stagnant at concessions.
Railroad bonds aisplaved the effects of
some new demand and there was not only
more animation but many of tne inactive
issues scored handsome advances over their
last previous s.ilcs, but the speculative is
sues wfere quiet and made few movements
01 intetest. The transactions reache'l $1,206,
000, but tbere was no special animation in
anvthing.
r Government bonds were dull and steady.

Watson 4 Gibson to Oakley 4 Co: "It is
surprising that this market should hold as
'well as it nas and does when we are swelter
ing with this heat and humidity. It seems a
very Inappropriate season to inaugurate a
null market, but, as we have so freely
pointed out, the situation and conditions
are lavorabie. There is only one serious
trouble and that is the labor matters at
Pittsburg; but as a well imormed man fiom
that city said to ns to-dav. that will be
settled and Before long. It is difficult to
state just bow and when, or if-wage-payers
or workmen will win, but a, settlement will
come. There seems to be an increasing fol
lowing of the leaders in the "upward move
ment nnd they in turn will become
more aggressive as supporters come in.
Among the Industrial stocks Cotton Oil
common has come ptoniinently to the front
to-day,and with a large trading it has scored
a handsome advance. We have from time
to time called attention to the merits of this
property and its management.and expressed
an opinion that it would sell considerably
higher. It is now verifying our indorse
ment, and why not, when industrial stocks
are now all the fashion, and both Investors
and speculators indulging their fancy! It
lias had but a Comparatively small advance,
"when w e look at Sugarand Cordage and con
sider the possibilities of Cotton Oil product.
There was also good buying of Sugar to-day,
and it, too, scored quite an advance. It has
been well sustained ana 110 is still Ireely
talked for it."

CORN LEADS THE CEREALS
In an Upward Direction, but Gains Are
Slight Provision Higher.
Chicago, July 26. The corn market was
again the leader in activity among the cere
als, and the better business was at higher
prices. It advanced c at the first Jump,
but only Jc.was added to the former prices.
To a considerable extent wheat was gov
erned by the advance.in corn. It opened,
however, c higher than it closed and was
barely 1-lBc over yesterday's resting price
at the end of the session. September opened
at 78c, sold at 78Jc. went up to 78c and
closed at "SJc. Receipts here were 380 cars
and in the Northwest 341 cars. September
corn opened at S0c, reached 50J6C and
closed at 50 c Bryant is said to have taken
advantage or the market to liquidate 500,000
bushels of his line of Long wheat.

vices, but then eased oft September sold
from 31e early to 30V30c, Anally recover
ed toSlJc, nnd closed at Sic.
Provisions were inactive, but very firm.
The principal tr.tding In futures was in bar
reled pork. Lard and ribs were compara
tively netlected. The feature of the busi
ness done in pork as the buying of it lor
Januarv by the Cudahy Packing Company,

tween that month and September was the
consequence, and the advance in' pork was
7c and in lard and ribs 2Jc each. Offerings

Tuesday, July 2(5.
Another midsummery market Excessive
torridity the chief restricting factor of the
moment, with the industrial troubles still
figuring as the underlying depressing influ
ence. "It is not to be expected," said one
of the brokers, "that there will be much
business while the weather oontinues so
warm as to practically prohibit outdoor
operations, or while such a feeling of illy
suppressed uneasiness prevails in financial
and general business circles in consequence
of the unrest in the labor ranks. So far as
local securities are concerned, however, the
situation is inherently strong. Bargains
seem to be fairly numerous, also, and when
the restrictive factors mentioned lose some of
their influence, it is fair to suppose that a
good degree of activity will set in, accom
panied by an upward tendency in most val
ues. There is a good argument in favor of
the belitf in a higher range in the fact that
while prices are holding up steadily there
are few stocks pressing on the market In
times of dullness stocks are usually freely
offered, especially If they have no founda
tion of merit, but during the present dull
spell there has oaen a marked lack of pres
sure brought to bear against anything on
the list, the declines that have occurred be
ing mainly the result of the sales
to realize accrued profits. I be
lieve the market to be in a position
favorable to a general advance, and I would
not be surprised If the expected activity
would materialize shortly niter the turn of
the month. A vast amount of money is
awaiting investment and it will seek it
befoie long."
oOnly three sales occurred on 'Change one
f P., A. & M. Traction at the first call, one
ot Philadelphia Company at tne second,
subsequently declared void, and one of
Pleasant Valley at the third. Neither of
these items displayed any positive tendency,
though P., A. A M., perhaps, was a
trifle soft. Pleasant Valley, also, was
not quite up to yesterday's quotations. Be
sides tne sales mentioned little noteworthy
occurred. With exception of P. V. and P..
A. Si M. street railway shares about held
their own; Luster was steady at 1111;
Union Switch and Signal closed at 16?i asked:
Airbrake was auoted at 123125, and
Underground Cablo was offered at 75, a de
cline of i in the asking price. In the nat
ural gas group Alloglieny Heating Com
pany presented the featui e, being wanted at
75. against offers to sell at 77. Tbe recent
resumption of dividends by tbe com
pany and Its generally improved con
dition are responsible for the ad
vanced quotations. The last previous
public bid was 65. Tbere has been con
siderable quiet inquliy of late for the
stock,and we were reported one sale recently
made at something better than 75. People's
Natural Gas was 18 bid. People's Flpeage
12 bid, Philadelphia Company 1819and
Wheeling Gas was offered at 18ji. The
figures made on the other items were pro
nounced "chestnuts."
Standard riato Glass.
At the Chamber of Commerce this after
noon 653 shares of Standard Plate Glass
were sold at auction in lots of 250, 200, 125, 50
and 28 shares at (50 per share. The at
tendance upon the sale was light
and there was only one bidder, Mr.
Hugh S. Craig, the attorney, who took each
lot as it was offeied at the price named.
Tbe supposition was that Mr. Craig repre
sented lenders with whom the stock bad
been hypothecated. Prior to the sale Auc
tioneer Bailey read a letter from E. S.
Quimby, assignee of William E. Schmertz
and William E. Schmertz & Co., in which it
was stated that of the stock offered by the
Third National Bank 100 shares should re
vert to the owner, as the loan for which
they were accepted as collateral had been
paid and title conld not be given to anyone
who might purchase them. Nevertheless
everything went as stated. In conversation
about Standard Plate Glass one of
tne brokers present at the sale said that
the stock sold was the last that would be
thrown on the market "The company's
condition is vastly improved," said he;
"tney are making more and better glass
than ever before, and papers have already
been filed in an application for the discharge
of the receiver. The stock sold cheap, as
there were sales on the quiet some weeks
ago as high as 61."
Gas Companies' Operations Afield.
The leading natural gas companies, while
in good shape as to supplies of gas, are prod
ding the earth unite actively in search of
fresh supplies. Down tbe river the Ohio Val
ley Gas Company is putting down a well on
the Shields farm, near the mouth
of Little Sewickley creek. The Brldgewater
Company is putting down one on tho Neely
farm in the same vicinity, and another on
tbe Wilson farm just back of Leetsdale.
xne x'eopie's xtaturni lias company is en
gaged in putting two new holes in its prop
erty in the Pinhook region, and the Manu
facturers' and the Equitable are a1o mak
ing one or two fresh ventures, tbe former on
the Pinhook anticlinal and the latter not
far from the McDonald oil field. The Phila
phia Comimnv is drilling seven wells on its
tract of land in the MUltown district, near
Verona. Tney are on tho anticlinal line ex
tending to the northeast of Verona. Three
wells owned by the same company near
Wildwood are located on the Thomas
Steele and Boyle farms, abont five
miles northonst of Wildwood. Three wells
are being drilled in Moon township, near
Coraopolls, on the Onstoat, Weigle and Sum-'
merville larms. Four are going down near
Ckartiers on the Cole, Leach and Aiken
farms. The well on tbe Cole leaso was ex
pected in to-day. It is in tbe extreme
northeast end or this district A well being
drilled by the company in the Bellevernon
field is being closely watched, as it is re
garded somewhat in the light Of a test well.
It is near Centerville. Five of its wells nie
being put down in Washington county. Two
are near Venice on the Sterling farm, one at
Linden on the Wcller lease and two near
Finleyville on the McGowan and Legger

LANDS AND H0USE&
A Good Market for Medlnm-Prlcod Slrnc
turel, but Others Slow Good Property
Tied Up by Legal Restrictions East
End Attractions Special News, and
Gossip.
There is no particular scarcity of houses
in Pittsburg at the present time, but it
should not be inferred from this thjt tbe
city is overbuilt Houses are intended to
meet the wants of all elasses of people. Tbe
large majority of buyers are of limited
means. Tbey want cheap and medium
priced houses, costing from $2,000 to $5,000.
Tbe demand for these keeps pace with the
supply. On tbe other hand, the market for
high-priced properties, being more 10
stricted, is easily satisfied. From this it
will be seen that while this one may be
scarce the other may be in oversupply.
This is about the situation in Pittsburg.
While owners or low-priced houses have
little trouble to sell or rent, pretentious
structures, suob as adorn the fashionable
avenues of the East End, are slow or sale.
Bulldeis should bear this m mind in making
plans for fnture operations.
The natural and architectural beauties of
tbe East End must be seen to be appreciated
at their full worth. Such a display of wealth
and taste as represented by splendid resi
dences and grounds cannot be duplicated in
America. Here aro the homes of many of
the leading citizens of Pittsburg. There
are no ruins ln this part of the city.
Everything is new. Along tho handsome
avenues, at frequeiitintervnls, piles of build
ing material denote that tbe march of im
provement has not been stayed. Fine nomes,
many or them of stone, are going up in all
directions. Ten years ago this district was
little Hotter than a "howling wilderness."
Bapld transit has wrought tho change.
Between Pittsburg and East Liberty there
is a large amount of vacant land, varying in
dimensions from ordinary building lots to
large tracts. This is a puzzle to some peo
ple. With such a demand lor residence and
business sites as is known to exist, they can
not account lor these open spaces. The ex
planation is simple. This ground is owned
for the most part by estates, and is so hedged
uround by legal restrictions that it cannot
bo put on the market until somebody dies or
comes of nge. Owners would gladly sell, but
their hands are tied. In some instances
owners are waiting for a rise, and ln others
they want the property for their own use,
and will improve it as soon as their circum
stances will permit Several tracts released
by death within a year or two have been
sold off and bnilt up.

A BETTER MOVEMENT
'In General Merchandise Is Fasting Than Is
Usual at This Season Trade Active In
Some Lines Grain Looks Like Improv
ingCrop Gossip and Current Prices.
Ttjesdat, July 2&
Notwithstanding this is the time ot the
year when a light volume of business is ex
pected in wholesale mercantile lines, and
despite the labor tronbles and excessively
warm weatUer, the clearing house figures
continue to indicate that the movement is
larger than usual at this season. There is no
special animation observable in any line, but
outside of the grain trade no positive dull
ness is reported, and in some branches of
trade, notably provisions, groceries and
garden stuff, business is reported active.
It is reported on excellent authority that
wi .. the exception of last year, the growing
crop or spring wheat promises to beat all
records, and that harvesting will be general
in Southern Minnesota and South Dakota
this week.
Crop prospects being bright helps to
weaken prices for tho cereals, and wheat
continues to soil at low nrices. Corn, though
"cheaper than a year ago. sells around 60c lor
.no. a. jrrovisions are greatly atrengtuenea
by the reduced stocks and active shipping
demand, as well as by the high prices for
hogs.
Reports from tho northwestern range
country iro so far favorable concerning con
dition of tbe cattle grazed in that section.
Abundant rains have created a luxuriant
growth of grass, and as this is the necessary
element ln produoing fat cattle there is
every reason to believe that the cattlo mar
keted trom Montana and Wyoming this sea
son will be fully up to the standard in point
of fat and finish as compared with last year.
Texas cattle that were run north early ln
the season have filled out well, and some of
them will be ready lor market next week. A
late spring has put the range backward, and
so shipments will be about 20 to 80 days late
compared with last year. It has been con
servatively estimated that the supply from
the Northwest will he about 30 per cent short
of the nsual crop. This shortage may have
a favoiable effect in bringing about a better
range of prices if it is true that tbe supply of
natives and Texaus will bo curtailed. West
ern ranchmen enjoyed a prosperous season
last year, and it looks now as if their good
fortune may continue, but it is a little pre
mature to prognosticate.
Certain exceptionally fine quality gallon
canned apples, of which sales were made
last week at $2 252 50 per dozen, are now
held at $2 60 at Inctory and $2 65 in New
York. At under $2 25 tew, if any, really
standard goods can be obtained.
Gallon canned tomatoes at $2 25 per dozen
have been about all cleaned up, and $2 50 Is
now named as a popular quotation.
The new crop California prunes are quoted
914c for the four sizes, forward shipment.
and it is stated that sales have been mado
for Chicago upon that basis.
A number of spot parcels or standard
three-pound tomatoes were disponed of ln
the East at 92c last week, and most holders
are now very firm at 95c for ordinary
brands.
Sales of dried California lima beans were
reported nt as high as $2 10 per bushel on tbe
spot In New York. There Is nor, however,
the anxiety at present to buy that prevailed
a week ago.
The best Baltimore bargains in canned
peaches at. the moment aie $185 for 3-lb
standard yellow, $1 70 for 3-B, seconds and
$1 15 for 3-lb pie. Most holders ask about
510c on those prices.
