WAITING ON THE GOLD MOTFMENT
Kew York, Aug. 5. The stock market
still further quieted down to-day and the
Industrials, -with the exception of General
Electric, were almost entirely neglected,
and, except in the first hoar, railroad shares
were not traded in to any extent, only in
spots. The-market seemed to be waiting to
see the extent of the gold movement, and,
as usual, dullness after the forenoon's oper
ations were completed became the principal
feature of the trading azain. London had
orders to the market on both sides of the
account, and the interests which hare been
conspicuous in their efforts to depress prices
wore quiescent, the steady demand from
both investors and the shorts giving the
market Its strength during the early deal
i lngs. A this demand slackened away, how
ever, only the strength sliown in spurts here
and there in the list maintained the firmness
of the list, while there was a slow but
steady diminution in the amount of busi
ness done.
With the withdrawal of the industrial
stocks from prominence In the dealings, the
leading railroad shares were given more at
tention, and while the Grangers and Atchi
son still railed to score any material move
ment, Omaha was farther advanced, and
special movements in Erie and Manhattan
gave character to the later transact
ions. Among the specialties, only
Minneapolis & St. Louts displayed any
particular strength, though Mexican Cen
tral became comparatively active and
strong at one time. Among the unlisted
shares the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic
shares were lilted in the early dealings, but
failed to hold all the advance and quieted
down with the general list later in the day.
The market closed dull but firm.
Railroad bonds were quiet throughout the
day, and while there whs a smaller number
or issues dealt in than nsual of late, the ani
mation in Atchison incomes, which contrib
uted $115,000, and in General Electric deben
tures, which contributed $1 000 to the day's
total of $1,415,030 were leatuies. There was
scarcely any perceptible movement, but a
firm temper prevailed and a Jew material
gains were seen.
Government bonds were dull and steady.

Watson 4 Gibson to Oakley & Co.: "We
advise the purchase of Erie, because or
the character of local -buying, which, later,
we raav be able to describe, and also be
cause (if our theory be correct that London
will bnv our securities on a large
scale) Erie will be one of the prime
low-priced English favorite. We es
pecially recommend Lake Shore, which
Is a magnificent property. A bird
could not fly straighter between Buffalo and
Chicago than along its rails. We predict 150
for it by January 1 next. St. Pan! ought to
yo to par within a year. Why not? It is
earning over 6 per oent and it Is in perfect
physical condition, with the traffic along Its
line not only fixed, but steadily grow
ing eaeh year moie independent of any
one kind of crop. Its business is di
versified and its tributaries continue
to grow richer every year. It is a
bull market that is the plainest thing now
in sight; yet Russell Sage is quoted as not
expecting any bnll market, and it is hard to
find any enthusiasts among the 'upper ten'
of finance either here or in London."

A SENSATION IN LARD.
Something Like a Carver Develops and
Prices Bush Upward.
Chicago, Aug. 5. A Jump or S5c in the
price of lard was the sensation to-day on
'Change. There were rumors that Armour
was in a position to squeeze short sellers in
the product and a very nervous feellngruled.
Port and ribs participated in the advance.
In the other pits realizing sales by the bulls
caused a decline and wheat, corn and oats
are each c lower than last nlzht.
The twist given the lard market was one
that will be remembered lor some time.
Coming on top of the big advance all around
yesterday, and against the influence of an
easier corn market, the remarkable action
resulted in decidedly strained conditions,
lard having been for months the most im
movable article on the list. Pork made an
advance of 20c from the opening price. Ribs,
alter selling back 5c, --went up 12Wo.
While othernroducts opened slightly easier,
lard was up 2jfc for September and went up
6c more the first hour. Then Ryan
and others bought some October stuff
and started the shorts after the Septembor
lard. Commission houses also had stop
orders. These lifted the market still more.
The holders of lard were serene and the
September price, after climbing to $7 05,
jnmped to 7 85 wlth'scarcely a trade and on
up to $7 92K. at the high point,belng 35o over
the close Thursday, closing around $782K
It was said that the big packers hold the
lard and with light stocks still higher prices
may bo easily made.
Wheat was unsettled early, the Btrength
In corn and oats having collapsed, and as
there was no outside support the local
crowd who bought yesterday on the late ad-,
vance exhibited a disposition to close out.
In the corn pit the bull clique took corn as
fast as offered. The market weakened, but
did not break. Kansas City and St. Louis
sent crop scare dispatches, but offsetting
these were certain railroad reports saving
no serious damage had occurred and Wall
street held stocks of corn roads firm at an
advance.
The oats market was comparatively unin
teresting, with optionB weakening soon
after the opening of the session.
The offerings of vessel room were light.
A fair demand prevailed and rates were ad
vanced I4,c to 2c for wheat to Buffalo and
2Jic for corn.

LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP
Friday, Aug. 5".
The local stock market continues to show
an encouraging degree of activity and a
bullish tone. The impetus it received last
week was evidently either greater than any
one imagined, or else the market is con
stantly receiving fresh stimulants. Very
likely the latter. Kew buyers nave been
noticed almost daily in the ring ever
since the revival or whatever it
may be called set in, and the
news, in the main, has been of
b character calculated to keep values mov
ing in the upward direction. It has shown,
and still shows, many of the ear-marks ot a
'genuine bull market, and it looks as it all
.had made up their minds, not to run counter
to it. "The fact of the matter
is," said a well informed broker,
"that easy money has been asserting
itself. Idle funds accumulated during the
the spring and early summer to such an ex
tent that money was a drug when the half
yearly settlement period arrived. After the
turn into July the supply was largely aug
mented by the interest and dividend dis
bursements. Then the strike troubles do
v eloped and prevented reinvestments. As
soon as the worst of our industrial troubles
appeared to be passed money commenced to
come out, with the resnlt of activity and
strength in local securities. Money Is going
to be very easy and cheap all year, which
will have a tendency to cause a steady ad
vance in all values. It may, perbaps.become
too easy may be put into everything and
anything to the ultimate injury of values
and confidence. I am not very apprehen
sive on this score, however, as there, will
be plenty of room for the investment of
money in stocks and bonds that are based
on something tangible, something more
likely to grow than to shrivel and lade
away. The day of South Sea schemes is
past. The danger of over-speculating and
ovei-trading, however, is always with ns. I
believe a year of unexampled prosperity is
ahead of us, and it remains to be seen
whether we can stand prosperity or not."
Course af the Market.
Trading on 'Change to-day covored TJ. S.
Gluss, Duquesno Traction, P. & B. Traction,
Westlnghouse Electtio (old), Philadelphia
Company and Westlnghouse Electric (new),
and while the transactions did not loot up
quite so big a totalas latterly, the eagerness
to do business showed no diminution what
ever, and the tone gained strength if there
was any change. TJ. S. Glass sold at 71 early,
but it closed offered at the same price, with
no bids recorded. There was evidence to
show, however, that the buying movement
was not over. In this connection The Dis
patch is in a position to say tlmt a big
percentage of the buying on the way up
trom 65 has been for the account of insiders
who desired to be as strong as possible at the
approaching annual meeting. There are
two factions, liberal and conservative, and
they are at loggerheads over the divided
question. It is expected there will be a divi
dend, but it may not be as large as some im
agine. On this point the following extract
from a letter trom an Inside stockuolder to
a friend on the outside is pertinent: "They
are bulling glass on a 6 per cent dividend.
Do not be tooled: it is not coming." The
stock, however, is a good one, and has shown
a good dividend-earning power.
The street railway share" were somewhat
firmer. Duquesnesold at 28 and closed at
28 bid; P. & B. Traction sold up to 26,
closing strong at 2626: Citzens Traction
was up to 61 bid; Central was firm close to
30, and the otners were steady.
One of the features of the day was the de
mand for street railway bonds, particu
larly Duquesne Traction 5s, in which, It was
said, considerable business was transacted
outside the Exchange. The Inquiry was
strong and general.
Gas shares were stronger. Philadelphia
Company was in good demand all day.
but there were no transactions until
after the close, when a small lot changed
hands at 20. Unless all signs lall
the stock will rale higher next week than it
has this. The July earnings of the company
are seml-officlally reported as $162,000.
People's Natural Gas was bid up another
point, from 23 to 23. People's Pipeae was
higher, and there was considerable inquiry
for Manufacturers' and Chartiers Valley.
The Westlnghouse Electric stocks were in
sharp demand and higher. The old common
sold at 17K. closing at 17Ji18, and the new
common at 29. The latter was active and
higher in Boston.wheie Kidder, Peaboddy &
Co. were reported as buying.
Air Brake was stronger at 127 bid;
Union Switch and Signal was steady to firm
and others were featureless.
The close of the market was strong at the
best prices.
The July Fire Loss.
The fire loss of the United States and
Canada lor the month of July amounts to
$11,530,000. The St. Johns fire, being in New
foundland, which is not a part of Canada, is
not included in the total above given. The
loss by that conflagration was about $15,000,
000, and the cost to British insurance com
panies will be greater than from any fire of
lecent years. The following statistics ex
hlDit the losses during the first seven months
oi 1893 as compared with those of the same
period in 1890 and 1S91:

A Blessing In Disguise.
Europe is to have big crops this coming
season. This in one way Is what the finan
ciers of this country liave been wishing for.
The deficiency in Europe's harvest last sea
son was necessarily made up by our enor
mous surplus. Daring the 11 months ended
May 31 our exports of Dreadstuffs showed
an increase of $163,000,000 over the same
eriod in 1891, but this was not as great a.
lesslng as was imagined, as Europe's in
dustrial depression, due largely to
ruined harvests, had immediate re
flection in our own markets. Eng
land has not, however, been vis
ited this year with the destructive rains of
1891 and an immense harvest is indicated.
The forecast of our own Agricultural Bureau
for July shows that the grain harvest,
though larger than the average, will show a
tailing off of about 500,000,000 bushels as com
pared with lest year's yield. 1 his, however
is canse for rejoicing lather than weeping,
as a repetition of lastyear'senormous wheat
and corn crop would tend to produce low
prices and a congestion of product, the same
as that which demoralized the cotton trade
in 1891.

It is said that the earnings of the Westing
house Company were never so large as. at
present. The July profits will be f nlly $110,
000. The company is now building- two 700 '
horse-power generators, while two years ago
SO to 100 horse-power generators were the
largest offered for sale. The Westlnghouso
Company has motors now in use on 150 rail
ways in nil parts of the country.
The latest device for propelling street
cars which has come to notice is that of the
Kinetic Power Company, organized la
Maine, July S, 1891, with $2,000,000 capital
Stock, owning the patents of E. H, Anga
mar and IT. U.Wheeier for a motpr adapted
to the use of highly heated watsr or stored
steam. The company has a car in Chicago
fitted with the motor,and claims for it much
that a steam engine will accomplish, with
out any smoke or coal or noise, and at much
less cost and risk than attends electricity as
a motive power.
Russell Sage received a letter from Jay
Gould on Tuesday in which he says: "I
have not been following the stock market
closely lately, but It seems to me
that we are about ready for the boom
which we have been looking for ever since
1885."
It is worth while to .call attention to the
business of the Wheeling and Lake Erie, be
cause this road gets fully half of its earnings
from the transportation of coal and iron. It
might be expected that owing to the diffi
culty in the iron region, this road might be
seriously affected. The returns, however,
show that the company made -more money
than ever before the fourth week of July,
and that for the month the company has
earned 20 per cent more than for July -last
year. Under these conditions it would seem
well worth while to look out for the bonds
of the company and the preferred and com
mon stock as well.

AN EAST END SALE
SHOWING A BIG INCREASE IN VALUA
TION WITHIN A TEAK.
A One-Half Interest In the Lazear Prop
erly Changes Hands Praise for the
Plains Back ot the Soutbside HUls
Latest Transactions.
Bealty in the business portion of the East
End has increased in valuation quite ma
terially within the post year, as is evi
denced by the fact that Charles Schwan has
sold bis one-half interest in the piece, of
property known as the Lazear property,
facing on Frankstown avenue 120 feet, and
extending back to Flavel street at a distance
of 220 feet, to Nicholas Hartman, for 524,
000. As this property was purchased by
these two gentlemen one year ago for ?33,
000, the sale of one-half "of it for $24,000
gives it a valuation of $48,000, an increase
of $15,000. Mr. Hartman will commence im
provements at once by adding another story
to his hotel and by remodeling the same in
general.
Mr. Hartman also figured in another trans
action In East End realty, selling to Charles
Schwan 600 feet in the Highland Park plan
or lots for $12,000.
Back of the Hills.
"Do not overlook the country back of the
brow of the Southside hills," said an agent
to-day, "when pointing out the beautlfnl
places for homes for people of moderate
means. There are no better spots for quiet,
country-like dwelling places than the many
level places above and back of the dirt and
din of the city. They aro high and healthy,
and, while smacking of the country, they
are placed in quick touch with the city by
rapid transit.' An evidence of the desir
ability of these conntry-city places Is fur
nished in the rapidity with which they are
growing. ,
The Bids Were Too Low.
The manufacturing property on River
avenue, Allegheny, which James W. Drape
ft Co., offered at public sale, was withdrawn
on a bid of $88,000, and the property on Per
rysville avenue, Allegheny, of the estate

Allegheny, belonging to an estate which

GRAIN MOVING UP

Friday, Ang. 5,
The firmness in grain noted yesterday
was more marked to-day, and wheat, corn
and oats were all higher. The demand has
not improved materially at this point, bat
the market has cleaned up somewhat as the
result of moderate receipts. The strength
comes mainly trom the West, where prices
have advanced considerably during the past
few days. In other mercantile lines there
are no new features to note. Groceries and
provisions continue active and strong and
dullness is still the characteristic of trade
among the produce commission men. In
leather and hides a fairly firm feeling pre
vails, and lumber and general bulletins ma
terials ate moving freely atflrm prices. No
complaints about collections are heard in
any quarter.
