, THE PITTSBTJKG DISPATCH. THURSDAY. AUGUST ,189$ ' H 1 INDUSTRIALS STRONG On a Good Volume of Business, but Most Others Are Dull. THE SELLING OP FOREIGNERS And Fears of Farther Gold Shipments Are Powerful Deterrents. dAlLEOAD BONDS QUIET BUT FIRM New York, Aug. 3. The leaders of the bull movement seem to have abandoned the market to its fate for the time being, though the general expectation is that the list will be taken hold of again in a short time. The success of the manipulation of the Indus trials offers still an example of what may be done by those in favor of an advance, and it is hardly to be supposed that the op portunity will be long allowed to lie unim proved. The evident disposition of the foreigners to sell on every rise, however, is still a powerful deterrent and added to this is the fear of further gold shipments, and until the last named bugaboo is laid to rest there is little probability of any extended upward movement in the market. - The Industrials in the meantime move steadily upward, nomatterwhere the stimu lus comes from. To-day, while Sugar was allowed to remain quiet, the Lead stocks and the Laclede Gas stocks were taken up and advanced materially, especially the last named. The Cotton Oil shares were not neglected, however, and further substantial progress was made in both the common and preferred. In the meantime the railroad list as a whole was quiet to dull, and though the covering of snorts in Burlington caused some animation in it, with a slight adancein its price in the early dealings, and Atchison was well supported around 40, exoept in St. l'aul, and to a lesser extent in Eno and Rock Island, there was no trading ot importance, and the fluctuations were confined to the smallest fractions, the lack or interest preventing any appreciation any where in the list. The close was fairly active and firm. Railioad bonds were comparatively quiet bat displayed the usual firm temper, with slignt changes in quotations. The Atohison Incomes were again the only active bond, and furnished $151,000 out of the total day's business of $1,190,000. Government bonds were dnll and steady. Close of the list: TJ.

To these who hesitate about buying stocks because of fears or onr currency we would say: Remember that in a' country actively employing a large num ber of pieces of money, paper is preferred on account or its more agreeable form for handllnir. and notes are never nrtvopntArt nn large scale for conversion into coin unless doubt exists as to the solvency of the Is sner. Bemeraber that onr present paper cir culation is either in the form of national bank notes, treasury notes or silver certifi cates, concerning which no nervousness exists as to the integrity of the Issue, as to its being what it purports to be, and that the public feeling concerning such currency and their practical treatment of It is very dif ferent from what it is concerning currency Issued by State or private banks whose credit may come under the bane of sus picion. Bank notes and papor money gen erally are seldom if ever offered In quantities for redemption, except in cases where the solvency of the issuer comes into doubt; that, rather than questions of goldaud silver ratios, is the leading cause of distrust con cerning papor monev. We have no lean of a premium on gold."

A Swift tarn in prices made matters interesting to-day on tho Board of Trade. Wheat, after an advance of Jc. closed at a decline of Jic, and corn lost Kc it gained early and wus without change from yerterday's closing prices in tire end. Oats retained at the close a half cent gain, j ust one-hair of the day's advance.' Provisions were not far from their beht as the session ended and show gains of 512J4 for the day. The decline In wheat was principally due to the pressure of the Au gust delivery. Thero was a temporary premium of 1C per bushel over St. Louis in shipments ot Xo. 2 red wheat from Kansas and Xebmska points to Chicago, and coun try shippers in consequence switched their consignments in this direction.

Pardrldge was a liberal seller of September wheat, and his offerings contributed largely 'to the weak ness. The Udget failure at Liverpool seemed to have no effect on the Chicago grain market. Bradstreet's estimate on available stocks was bullish, as it gave the increase for the week at but 500.000. including the Paciflo Coast. North Dakota dispatches spoke of a repetition of tho blight of two years ago, with straw turning white and heads black. Export clearances for the day were 350,000 bnshels In wheat, besides a fair amount of flour. To offset this there was a very free movement to principal points 340 cars here, 304 cars at Minneapolis, 263,000 bushels at Toledo, and 201,000 bnshels at St. Louis. The weather was most perfect for matur ing ana harvestinsr or crops in corn. First trades were at JiKc advance and market held firm for some little time, the bulge in oats and the receipt of a good many bad re ports from the western portion of the corn belt from private sources being responsible for the better undertone. At top prices of- lennga. uecame consiaeraoiy increnseu, me price breaking with very little reaction 5ic, rallied o, ruled steady to the close. ' Another session of unusual activity was experienced by the oats traders. Trade was heavy and scattered, although a large por tion of the stuff wan bought up by the re ceivers. The cereal was inclined to boom at the start and sold up ljjc from yesterday's close on the bad crop reports, which were very general and set the snorts to ooverlng liberally. Later, after the most urgent buy ing was over and the other markets became heavy, oats partly lost their grip, but were higher than yesterday while wheat and corn ruled lower. The provision market consisted of pulling and hanling for advantagr among local trad eis. Freights were firm with a fair demand at 2c for wheat and 2tffor corn to Buffalo.

Ko Loss of Strength and No Signs of a Beturn to Dullness. U. S. GLASS ON A-HIGHER PLANE. The list Generally Continues to Show an Upward Tendency. LOCAL AUD GENERAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP Wednesday, Aug. 3. Trading was again active, and well dis tributed on the local board to-day and the strong tone which began to make itself felt a week ago showed no diminution. The orders in the hands of the brokers appeared to be quite as numerous as ever, the size as large and the disposition to meet the views of holders Just as manifest Besides this there was more or less conclusive evidence that fresh blood had come into the market within the preceding 24 hours. This was reflected in the small orders executed and the inquiry for small lots of the leading specialties, indicating that the investors and speculators of modest means had begun to take hold. Jf there was no other proof of a strong and healthy market this would be sufficient, as these classes, like Davy Crocket, always take great pains to be sure they are right beiore they go ahead. When they come in things are pretty nearly right. Their operations are a barometer which seldom falls to Indicate the actual character of the market, Features of.the List. The business on 'Change covered P., A. & M. Traction, P. & B. Traction stock and bonds. Luster Mining Company, Westing house Electrlo scrip, TJ. 8. Glass, Philadel phia Company and Central Ti action. P., A. &'M. Traction sold at 44. with the same price bid for more. P. & B. Traction was not quite as high as at the previous olose, but the demand was unabated at the slight decline shown. Indeed, it seemed to be in creased. Luster Mining Company sold at 10 subsequently declining and cloxlng weak at 910. The principal offers to sell come from what is called the Luster crowd, and were accompanied by qniet intimations of unlavorable develop ments at, the mines. Sometimes, however, cliques find it an easy matter to depress a stock when they want to shake a little out. In U. S. Glass the feature was tho sale of 100 shares at 71. The close was steady at 70 73, with a few indications that the boom was still qnite vigorous. The stock has had a sharp rise, however, and unless it was based on more than has yet appeared it would seem as if a reaction or a point or so was about due. Central Traction was a lit tle firmer a"t 29 sale and bid and two or mree smaii lots or 3vestmgnouse JJlectrio scrip sold at 90 per cent. Among the shares which were not traded in there was incieasedaflrmness in Westing house Airbrake, an advance from 20 to 21 In People's Natural Gas, continued strength In Duqnesne Traction and a generally steady to firm tone throughout tho list. The bringing In of the big gas well in the Elizabeth field had no appreciable effect on natural gas shares, thowgh they continued strong with an improving tendency. The well was m ought In by Mr. Snee, and the wulls ho develops go the Carnegie line. Tho Philadelphia Company has some property in the immediate, vicinity of the new roarer, and Mr. TJptegrafftold the writer this aster noon that the company would start a well or two thereon at once. July Hallway Business. Tho July business of the Western railways entering Chicago was very heavy, and the outlook for further heavy business has been improved by the progress of the corn crop, and the prospect or a large yield or spring wheat. But there Is a dark side to this, and it lies in the general disposition to cut rates. Uuless this tendency Is checked it may have a serious effect in reducing net earnings. Large gross earnings nre or llttln value, lf-the expenses aie disproportion ately large. There is plenty or business in sight for all at good rates, if the knaves and fools among the traffics managers can be Kept in cneck. it is high time for railway directors to direct, and not to wait for the annual leport to tell them what has been done. Western Union's Scheme. The friends or Western Union have had their hopes buoyed up by assurances which they claim came from Gould sources, that the $14,000,000 surplus will be divided at the annual meeting in September. The scheme lias not been fully nnlolded,"but it Is prob able that the capital stook will be increased to $100,000,000 and that $10,000,000 of the new stock will be offered to stockholders on favorable terms. The remaining $4,000,000, in round numbers, will be reserved, in case the stockholders ol the Ameiican District Tele graph Company should be given the privi lege of exchanging their stock share for share, instead of ratifying a 50-year lease at 5 per cent. A Reading Dividend Possible. A careful study of the recent Reading statement shows some interesting and re markable results. In 1891 the fiscal year up to June 30 showed a deficit of $170,335; lor the same period this year there is a surplus of $968,160, an increase of $1,138,495. As the surnlus lor last rear wa Sl.8fll.9fit it t oi. dent that in the last five mouths or 1691 .the two companies earned $2,035,296 over and aDovo an fixed charges. Taking it Tor granted that the two companies do as well the lait five months of this year, and the estimate Is a most conservative one, the surplus earnings at the end of tho year would be $3,003 456. an lnoreave of $1,138,495. It requires $2 904,940 to pay the full 5 per cent Interest on allihe prelerence Income mort gatre loan bonds, which wonld leave $98 516 applicable to tho stock. But the flist month of the last hair or the fiscal year has shown again over the same period last year, and no one doubts but that tho remainder n ill do equally well or better, so that the asser tion or a small dividend on the stock is no idle talk, but a possibility.

The lull Interest on all the inoome bonds is already assured.

THE INQUIRY STEAD ILT IMPItOVINa ALL ABOUND. Easy Money and a Probable Early Settle ment of Labor Tronbles the Favorable Factors Increasing Interest In Sub urban Property Gossip and Sales. There is no denying the fact that the real estate market is grotving broader and more active. "There is nothing like a boom," said one of the best informed and most con servative agents to-day, "but there is a fair business passing, particularly in suburban improved and unimproved properties of all sizes and prices, and the inquiry is steadily picking up. TriE Dispatch is right in ascribing the improving tendency mainly to the probabilities of an early settlement of tne laoor tronbles; but the great factor or an abnndance or money must not be over looked. It is a very easy matter to obtain money at reasonable rates to lmprove'sub nrban tracts of land for residence sites, and while the lot business in outlying plana has been indnstriously worked ever since tho introduction of rapid transit, It has not been overdone by any means, which last la attested by the continued Inquiry." Rapid Transit and Realty. The various lines of rapid transit which have reached out in all -directions, connect ing country and city, have opened up bonanzas for the xural property holders, as well as the city capitalists, and have been the means of transforming wildernesses into veiitable garden spots. People formeily confined In summer time to the heated .city now enjoy the beauty, breezes and restful ness of the country, and are yet In close communication with the center or traffic. This has occurred, as is well known, in the last few years, and the movement suburb wards has been on an extensive scale; but thei e is evidently lust as much of a ci aze as ever to get into some of the gieen spot, into the country, among the trees and flowers, and wherever .any of the electric or caole lines are making extensions there will be found more or less activity in lots and houses. The movement along these lines between now and next summer promises to be a steady and comprehensive one. "On to the suburbs!" is still the cry. Apartment Hgasea. "There is a demand for .more and im proved apartment houses," said a well known builder to-day, and uless all signs fall the demand will not so largely exceed the supply next year. I know of several, for which plans are being drawn, and I hear talk every now and then or someone who Is thinking abont putting some money into such an investment Those that I know to be in the first stages will be better than any thing yej erected In tills line in either city, and the tents will not beoutol sight, either. A large number of modern apartment houses that people or moderate means will be able to rent are badly needed in both Allogheny nud Pittsburg. They would prove an excellent investment. Gossip and Sales. The Dispatch had something to say yes terday about activity in the Twentyecond ward and rumlshed evidence thereof. Hero Is somemore: MoWIIllams & Co.sold to James Getty, Jr., the Richmond property, In the Twenty-second ward, for $13,500. It consists of a fine two-story brick house and four acres or land. Mr. Getty will Improve the property at once. The Hastings property on Grove street. Thirteenth ward, changed hands yesterday, the purchaser being the well-known nttnr. nev. John Madden.

Mr. Newell has alieady com menced excavating and will erect a house to cost not less than $5,000. Messrs.

In this connec tion it may not be amiss to note that prop erty at Ci atton was never In better shape. There are a great many Inquiries and prices ate good. The projected electric railroad has had a tendency to stiffou prices. John K.
