A QUIET AKD HEATY CLOSE ON LOSSES
Kew York, Aug. IL There was little
in the stock market to-day outside of the
coal shares and little of them outside of
Beading, the trading in which was ex
tremely large, measured by the standard
which 'has prevailed of late, while
its weakness gave the tone to the whole
market and material concessions were
made in many stocks. The selling had all
appearances of liquidation of tlie profits ac-
crued upon Uie late advances, but an at
tempt was made to disguise this by the cir
culation of a rumor that the bears had ob
tained the forthcoming decision of Chan
cellor McGill, of Sew Jersey, and
that being unfavorable they were
selling the niaiket upon it. A very
incenious explanation, but the selling was
hardly spirited enough nor long enough
continued to be accounted for In that man
ner. That a large part ot the selling was lor
the short account, however, is not to be
riontnri Tr1 the nnnortunltv to denress the
general list by a drive at the leaders Is
always taken advantage of.
There was conspicuous weekness only In
.Louisville and Nashville among the leading
'shares, but the loss was partially recovered
with the rally in the rest of the market. The
Beading at the same time showed great re
cuperative power. The share list remained
almost entirely barren or feature during the
latter portion of the day, alter the comple
tion oi the movement mentioned, and the
matket closed quiet but heavy at near the
low est prices.
Railroad bonds were slightly more active.
tne sales of all issues teaching $1,281,000. bat
the only special animation was in Xoithern
'Pacific prelei i ed. The strong feature or the
list was Louisville. St. Louis and Texas
firsts, which lose IK Per cent to 9 but
Rock Island debentures were advanced on
small sales a" large fraction. The general
list on the other hand was rather went
Government bonds were dull but firm.

TVatson & Gibson to Oakley 4 Co.: "Our
exports just now are moderate and in June
and July our merchandise imports have
been remarkably heavy. The lesult is that
the gold movement continues in force later
than usual and $50,000 was engaged to-day.
Possibly more may be taken to-morrow.
We are paying cash for what
we buy from Europe and our
international trade balance is very
light. The price or silver to-day was offei ed
down apparently for speculative effect, but
there does not appear to be quite as much
timidity on this snbject as a little while ago.
Cotton oil Issues were very firm to-day,
and we not see why the preierred is
not a safe Investment. It will soon
declare a semi-annual dividend of
3 per cent and the earnings of
the property are ,a guaranty that the
dividend at this rate can be maintained In
definitely. Distillers and Cattle Feeders is
a stock tbat will do to watch. It Is Inactive
and the street is not filled with bull points
concerning it, but it ought to be a money
making business."

SLIGHTLY HIGHER.
Grain and Provisions Seesaw a Good Deal,
but Close on Gains.
Chicigo, Aug. Ik The bullish character
of the Government crop report on corn and
oats was the controlling feature in the
cereal pits on the Board of Trade at the open
ing this morning and all of them started
higher: but at the advance there was free
selling and, some bearish news being re
ceived, the advance was more than lost.
Subsequent fluctuations left them with
very slight changes from yesterday's final
quotations. Wheat is o lower: corn a
higher and oats c lower. According to the
statisticians of tue board the Government
crop report suggests a wheat yield of 515,
000,000 bushels, a corn crop or L724.0O0.O0O
bushels and an oats crop or 644,000,000
bushels.
At the onenlnsr September wheat sold
freely at 79He. an advance of a over night. I
so mucii wiieat was uougni nowevur, burn, a
reaction was the natural result later on, arid
It dropped to 78ic A St. Petersburg cable
gram stated that Busslan crop prospects
were brilliant. The market, however, held
steady till there came rumors of a 6c break
in Berlin, the crowd construing this as
meaning a favorable foreign crop outlook.
The movement or wheat to primary mar
kets continues very liberal. Winter wheat
receipts here and farther South are on a
liberal scale and up North the old crop of
sorlnir wheat is coming forward freely. It Is
intimated that many or the Northwestern
bad crop reports emanate from elovator men
who hold large stocks and want to see higher
prices. Later in the day, alter tho break
above noted, shorts, came into cover and
there was a rally or Jic, but the market
closed weak.
The Dig trading, as usual, was in the corn
pit, prices Just after the opening showing
an advance of 1K over yesterday's closing.
The Government crop report was not as
favorable as was expected, and the report
or the Prtce Current telegraphed from Cin
cinnati, had a marked influence. That
authority estimates the crop only 1,600,000,000
bushels. There were additional ood rains
all over the corn belt, but Kansas got less
than the other States. Later thero was
rally to 53c. at whlcn the market closed.
Oats were active. September opening at
35c, an advance of Jfc, but declined to 34c
on free selling, clostng easy at tbe bottom.
There was a lighter trjde than usual in
provisions, and weakness resulted from the
selling of local holders, there being an
especially active selling movement in Janu
ary pork and January lard. The big hog
receipts were an Important factor. Fully
27,000 hogs arrived to-day ana they sold off
at 10Q15C. September pork ooened at Tia
lower at $12 75, and after tonching $12 7iK.
advanced to $12 90, then broke to $12 70,
rallied and closed at $12 87K an advance

LOCAL AKD GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS
Thursday, Aug. 11,
The signing of the iron wage scale was
the leading topic of disenssion in financial
and commercial circles to-day. Bankers,
brokers, merchants and manufacturers so
far as talked with expressed themselves as
immensely satisfied with the action taken
last night and were unanimously of the
opinion that general business wonld steadily
improve as one of the results of the settle
ment of the differences that existed regard
ing the scale. It is not likely, however,
that there will beany" immediate marked
change. It will oome gradually.
What was most prominently lacking was
confidence. It cannot be restored in a day.
It is an element of slow growth, and, after
a season of unrest and apprehension, be
comes strong and general, as a rule, only
after being stimulated by a succession of
favorable developments. That they will
and. considering the condition of euctr
powerful factors as easy money and a bright
outtook for the agricultural interests. It is
probable tbat less than an average number
will suffice. Tbe business atmosphere is
certainly much clearer, and it is reasonable
to expect a gradual enlargement 01 opera
tions in all lines of trade.
Conrse of Looal Securities.
Trading on 'Change to-day was rather bet
ter than yesterday, and In a general way
tbe tone showed Improvement. A slight re
actionary tendency developed In Philadel
phia Company, and Duquesne Traction was
barely steady, but in all other respeots the
list was strong to buoyant. Citizens' Ti ac
tion, Philadelphia Company, Pleasant Val
ley Railway, Westlnghouse Electrio new
common, Central Traction, P. & B. Trac
tion, Union Switch and Signal and Duquesne
Traction bonds figured in the business, and
with the exception of Philadelphia Com
pany, which weakened under a little pressure
to sell, evidently for Boston account, every
thing traded In either held its own or ad
vanced a little. A small lot of Citizens'
Traction sold at 62, but again the closing
bid was fractionally below that price, and
Pleasant Valley Railway was a little firmer
without being appreciably higher. It sold at
tsjg and closed in good demand at 25W.
Central Traction sold at SO, closing at 29
30: Duquesne Traction 5s sold at 100, a
slight advance; and P. & B. Traction sola at
K26K. closing strong at 26626.
.Tiifiie was not much of a disposition to trade
in Duquesne Traction, which closed expres
sionless at 29X30. The demand for P. &
B. was better than for some time past,
indicating that the decline was over,
to say the least. Many seemed to
think the stock on the point of scoring an
advance of more or less consequence, but so
far as could be discovered the only basis for
the belief was a report that H. Sellers Mo
Kee had again said It was going to 30. Pitts
burg Traction was still quoted in a, per
functory sort of a way at 6759, and Pitts
burg, Allegheny and Uanchestor was
neglected.
Philadelphia Company sold at 21 at the
first call, at 203U after the call and at 20
after the third call, the official close being
20K20?. The offering was from one source
as was the case yesterday a house with
Boston affiliations, but the broker offering
It seemed to have nothing for sale Delow
20. The other gas shares were strong.
Wheeling gained y at 19J bid; Plpeage was
wanted at 14J by several: Manufacturers'
Gas was quietly inqulied for, the Inquiries
being accompanied by rumors of a sale or
100 shares at 23 late yesterday; 26 was bid for
Bridgewater and Cnartiers was offered at
12Jf
union Switch and Signal continued the up
ward movement begun yesterday, selling at
17X on 'Change and 17 on the street and
closing on tbe board at 17 with 17 bid
after the close. The bidding at 17K came
from good sources and was generally for
round lots. Air Brake was strong and the
-new Electric stocks -were stronger and
higher both here and in Boston. The -remainder
of the list was featureless.
United States Glass.
There was no movement in United States
Glass and no disposition to trade In it, the
negleot shown it proving conclusively that
the dividends were discounted before their
declaration. It is good 'stock, however,
with a promise of being one of the best of
the industrials, and while it may sag a little
when the books close, It ought to be a pur
chase on any decline of consequence. The
company has apparently demonstrated its
ability to pav 8 per cent per annum on the.
preferred and 6 per cent on the common, the
gieatest significance of which is that it
was demonstrated in the first year
or Its organization. One of tho di
rectors of the company was quoted
to-dav as saying tbat tbe common stock
would goo par within a year.
Wheeling Gas.
Secretary DIehl, of tho Wheeling Natural
Gas Company, sta'ed to-day in a positive
manner tbat there was nothing in the talk
about an early resumption of dividend pay
ments by the company. "The strength of
the stock," said Mr. DIehl, "is probably due
to the upward drift of the price of oil, as we
have tbe largest daily production of oil of
any or the natural gas companies and the
largest and most valuable undrilled terri
tory. Our-dallv prouuotlon fluctuates be
tween 550 and 600 barrels, and all our pro
ducing wells are in tho Southwest McDonald
field. As a rule tho wells are small, but
they are steady producers. It is only
occasionally we have to urge a well. We
shot the Woods rarm well yesterday and Its
production increased from 10to 60 barrels.
A few of the wells, notably the Kelso, pro
duced more oil In July than in June, and
tbat, too, without being agitated. Wo have
a pietty good revenue, but we are spending
a good deal or money In field operations.

It is probable that for some years to come
the official statement of foreign commerce
for the fiscal year 1891-92 will be a matter of
much interest on account of the extraor
dinary magnitude of exports. Although the
imports in 189192 were remarkably large,
never exceeded except in tbe year 1890-91,
they were about $17,000,000 less than In that
year. But tbe exports of domestic products
for the first time exceeded a thousand
millions, and were $143,000,000 greater than
In the previous year. In the following state
ment the exports of all classes exceeding
$5 000,000 eacla are brought together In com
parison with the corresponding items for
the preceding fiscal yean

A BIG ACREAGB SALE.
FIFTEEN ACRES IN THE WILKINSHTJKG
DISTRICT CHANGE HANDS.
The Property Will Be Divided Into Lots
and Placed on the Market Agents Re
port a Good Inquiry Congress of Beat
Estate Men.
One of the largest transactions in acreage
that has occurred for some time has just
been consummated by John "Wesley, who
bought from Jacob "Weinman 15 acres of un
improved rand situated partly in Wilkins
burg and partly in "Wilkins township, eight
acres being in "Wilkinshurg and seven in
"Wilkins township. The price paid was
$2,500 per acre, making the total price $37,500.
Mr. Wesley bought the property with a' view
or laying It out into lots, and expects within
the next ten days to have the
same on the market. There will
be ISO lots in all. Several well
known Investors have already been to sen
Mr. Wesley In tegard to buying a portion of
the eight acres situate on the Wilkinsburg
side, and the owner is negotiating for the
sale of about 30 lots to these gentlemen.
This new plot is to be named the John Wes
ley plan, and from present Indications the
sale of lots will bo very brisk. Said the pur
chaser this afternoon: "This property has
been for sale for some time past, and It is
astonishing to me that it has not been
('picked up' long before this, as, with tbe
completion ot tne two contemplated electric
roads, which will, when In operation, run
directly to this property. It and surrounding
tracts will naturally increase somewhat in
value."
The Inquiry Brisk.
Though the sale or property, especially in
the line of houses and lots, has not been any
thing above the ordinary for the past few
days, most of the agents report the market
as very brisk, so far as inquiry Is concerned,
and will offer for publication within a very
few days some very important transactions.
A prominent agent said to-day: "I am at
prcsont negotiating for the Bale of a most
valuable piece of property, and when made
known wili Be rather startling, as it is
within a short distance or the heart of the
city, and the amount to be paid for the same
will be away up in the thousands of dollars.
This and many other deals which are known
to be under way at the present time will, no
doubt, when consummated, make some very
interesting reading."

EGGS DOLL AND WEAK.
Strength and Activity East and West Have
No Influence Here Dairy Prodncts and
Grain Continue to Rule Firm Sugar
Stronger la the East Current Priors.
Thursday, Aug. 1L
The local egg market is in rather a peculiar
position. Notwithstanding markets East
and "West have been tending upward dur
ing the past few days, under an active de
mand, the situation here has bordered on
stagnation and prices have ruled heavy to
weak. There has been, and still is, no de
mand of consequence, and while prices are
reported lower they must be considered
largely nominal In the absence of business.
Sales were noted to-day as low as MXc, and
Irom tbat price on up to 16c for special
marks, but the transactions were light and
mainly by buyers for bakers, hotels and
restaurants. One cause of the dullness and
low prices has been the heated condition in
which a good poition of the stock has ar
rived, and tben, too, receipts have been
larger than usual at till-1 season and the de
mand lighter, though the latter never cuts
inuahof a figuro during August.
Dairy products continue to show great
strength. Dealers have pnt Elgin cieamery
up to 2829c, and tbey Intimate prices will
be liUher next week. Tbe demand is active
and the goods are hard to get. Cheese is
firm but slow at the last advance.
Grain and feed are maintaining tbe ad
vanced positions reached lately, and more
of a disposition to do business Is developing.
Flour lemalns unchanged, but a flrmerfeel
lng prevails in the Northwest. Hay Is not
quite so strong, owing to increased receipts.
In the line of groceries, sugar and canned
goods are still the leading teatnres, with re
spect to both activity and strength. Sugar
leftneries ate overold, and NewYorkad
vlces note an upward tendency.
Provisions now depend upon the course of
the speculative market and the price of
hogs. If there is a decline in Chicago it will
find more or less reflection here. Regard
ing tho prospects lor bogs, the Chicago
Drovers' Journa' says: There Is at present a
very light marketing of hogs, and for a very
good loason. The supply, of marketable
bogs is nnusunlly light lor this season or tho
year. Comparatively few hogs have been
on lull feed this summer, and it is a well
known fact that tbe cold, wet spring killed
off a Urge number of young hogs. The fresh
meat demand seems to be large enough to
take more than the current receipts ol good
bogs, and as theie is no prospect of materi
allv incieascd snnnlles for some time to
come, there Is everv Indication that "hogs 1
will be hogs" this lull. Puckers do not ex- J
poet to pack any very cheap nogs tne
coming season.

IRON DULL AND WEAK.
Principal Features of the Metal Market for
the Past Weelc.
New York, Aug. 1L Specta. The Jim
Aae will say to-morrow: Pig iron is duU and
weak in all markets Our monthly statistics
shown sharp decline in current production,
the total coming down to 155,000 gross tons
per week; It should be noted, however, tbat
the South has thus far not participated
in" this restriction. One fact which
Is destined to be a. great factor in
the next few months is the enormous ao
cummulation of old material In all markets.
It Is probable, too, that the railroads hold a
good deal which they have held in tbe hope
or better Teturns." Old steel rails are re
markably low, fetching only $12 In the West
and $13 and $13 50 in the East. Finished iron
and steel is in active demand throughout
the country, for quick delivery, and very
good prices are being obtained. Bat there
are even now signs or easing prices, notably
In bars. Billets are dull in tbe East, and lit
tle Is doing In tbe West.
The rorelgn markets are reviewed by cable
from London as follows: The movement la
Elg iron warrant prices has been moderate,
uc, while steadier.the market has remained
quiet during the greater part or the week.
Tnere are now 76 Scotch and 124 English fur
naces blowing, but stocks In Connalls' stores
steadily diminish. The last returns showed
403,000 tons or Scotch and 19.000 tons of Cleve
land. Exports or pig Iron last month were
59.000 tons, against 75,000 tons in July, 189L
Pig tin has been dull, with the average ,
or prices lower. In the tin plate market
dullness Is more pronounced and the weak
ness to prices greater. Bessemer cokes, 11
by 20, have been sold at as low as lis 9a In
Swansea. A little more Interest Is shown in
terns and black plates. Exports last month
were 31,000 tons, of which 24,000 tons were to
the United States, against 17,000 tons and
4,000 tons respectively In July, 183L The
steel rail market Is quite strong at the ad
vance quoted last week.
