THE " P1TTSBTJKG' DISPATCH, TUESDAY,, ' AUGUST - ?3, 1882 It 1" MOVEMENT UPWARD ,- 'Led by Lead, Sugar, the Grangers, .' . .Coalers and Texas Pacific BEARS ACTIVE IN NEW ENGLAND. The Market Closes Active and Strong at the Best Prices. 'EAILEOAD BONDS BULB BUOYANT i Not Yohk, Aug 22. The stock market to-day was narrow, Beading, New England, Sock Island and Atchison monopolizing the greater part of the business among railroad shares, and Lead and Sugar that in the in dustrials, while all the important move ments of the day were in these stocks. The market this morning showed considerable strength and confidence at the opening, which was made at prices a half per cent better than Saturday as a rule, while Sugar was np i per cent. The bears were active and aggres sive in New England, however, and a drop of yi in that stock, aided by free real izing in Sugar and s corresponding fall, checked the advancing tendency in the general list, and small fractional concessions marked the trading of the first half hour. Then the urgent demand to cover shorts in the grangers sent Bock Island up about 1 per cent, and the manipulation of Lead, which sent Its price np about 3 per cent before the close, turned the course of prices and an upward movement was inaugurated soon which met with no real setback: duriug the rest of the session. All the coalers made substantia' advances, though Beading was the only one showing any activity. The decision against the Texas Railroad Commissioners served to stimulate a sharp upward movement In the Texas Pacific securities In the last hour and nided the general advance at the same time. The market Anally olosed active and strong at about the top figures. Railroad bonds wore also stronger and more active, though except In the Beading Issues and the Texas Pacific's there were no material changes. The Texas Pacific lsts rose fyi to 82 and the Sds 4f. The total sales were $1,352,000. Mining shares closed as follows: Cnirn Point 45 1 Plymouth Con. cal. and Vs.

Dealings on the Board of Trade to-day resulted in moderate, ad vances in the value of grains and further declines In the prices of hog products. While the receipts of wheat were larger than ex pected and foreign markets lower, trade seemed to favor higher prices at the open ing. The crowd was evidently short and, as there was little for sale, the bears soon showed considerable anxiety and bought ireely. Holders seemed to feel much confi dence and the offerings were rather light, with domestic markets firm. Among the bullish items of news was report from Lon don that the Mark Lane Express confirmed the previously reported deficiency in the Indian wheat crop, putting it at 52,000,000 bushels less than last year. Another bullish Item was a report of the prospect of an early settlement of the ralhoad troubles in tho East, There was also a growing belief that the bearish cable news of the past lew days had been manipulated, xraue was ralr throughout the day, but could not bo called active. Corn showed a good deal of strength, In fluenced chiefly by trie Ann feeling which ruled in wheat most of the time. The re ceipts exceeded expectations and there wat a good speculative demand, nnd the trade seemed to feel that the crop conditions are by no means promising. Tue marker, how ever, weakened with wheat during the last hour. Oats ruled strong on good buyiugby shorts and the early strength in other grains. The offerings were moderate. A. nervous and unsettled feeling prevailed in hog products, with qnite a good specula tive business transacted. Tbe'reoelpts of I1028 were larger than generally anticipated, aud .though no marked changes in prices oc curred operators regarded tho increased supply as a weak feature, and there was a general inclination to sell during the early part of the session, while tho demand was only-fair, resulting in quito a sharp declino in.prlcesfor all the principal descriptions. At tho decline there was a little mora dosiro to purchase in sympathy with the strength developed In the grain markets, and prices rallied to about medium figures. During tho latter part of tho session n decidedly weak feeling again prevailed, offering;. 110m all souroes being free. Prices receded to Inside figures, ana tho matket closed rather I casv.

STOCKS ARE BUOYANT. Electric and Philadelphia Company Leading the Way Upward. AIRBRAKE AND GABLE HIGHER And Union Switch and Signal Recovers a Fart of Its Loss. LITTLE DOING IN THE TEACTION'S Monday, Ang. 22. Strength was the overshadowing feature of the local stock market to-day. Trading was light, mainly because orders could not be executed by the brokers at the prices set by principals. During the closing calls of last week something of "a reactionary tend ency was witnessed in a number of the leading specialties, and it was generally supposed that a continuance of it wonld be apparent to-day. The market gained strength over Sunday, however, and those who came to the first call this morning to take advantage of slumping prices were surprised to see the list open up above Sat urday's close. Doubtless some of the belated bulls had mode up their minds to get aboard the train before the fare was raised again, but they not only found that the cut rates of Friday and Saturday had been abolished, but that they would have to pay a littlo something extra to get into the swim. A few lardy shorts also manifested a little eagerness to take their mediolne, but they found It difficult to get hold of. Stocks were too firmly held. In only a few In stances did the bidding up process succeed in dislodging anything of consequence, and then only because the successful bids repre sented good round profits. The items traded in on 'Chance were Duquesne Traction stock and bonds, Phila delphia Company and Westimthcnse Elec tric second preferred. Philadelphia Com pany was the most active and was also one of th stiongest stocks of the list, scor ing a good gain over Saturday's closing price It opened at 21 sales, sold up to 22Jat the last call, closed at 2222X and sold at 2222J after call, with 22K hid for more and none offered under 22Jf. Westing house Electric second preferred recovered to 33 sales and closed at 3334. The last quotations "sent from Boston were 33JT3. Ihe demand for Electric anu Philadelphia Company was on Boston as well as looal account. There v. as some thing like a reawakening of Interest in Duquesne Traction, the stock selling at 29 and the bonds at 100 nnd interest. Besides Duquesne there was a littlo inquiry for Citi zens Traction and Pleasant Vallpy that re flected a desire to do business, but in a gen eral way the street railway group was featureless. People's Natural Gas was bid nn to 27f: Peonle's Plneaire was hli?her at 15i bid: Airbrake was hid up to 132, with no offer to sell until nfter the close, when a little wns offered at 131; Union Switch and Signal was higher at 17 bid and Standard Underground Cable moved up to 73 bid. There is no accounting for the siiarp ad vance in Airbrake excepting on tho pre sumption that the floating supply has been absorbed and that it is being marked up to a point where it properly belongs. There seems to be something up in Under ground Cable. At least it is stronger, and indications point to higher pi Ices. The com pany was organized in 1882, with a capital ot $3,000,000 and a New Jeiaey cnarter. In 1889 it was reorganized under the laws of Pennsylvania, and its capital cut, down to $1,000,000, stockholders surren dering two-thirds or their holdings. At the time of its reorganization Mr. Westiughouse became identified with It, but, while he is still nominally President, the management is in other and probably just as capable hands. During one year of his management the company earned $200,000 net, or 20 per cent on its capital. For the last fiscal year its net earnings were between $65,000 and $70,000, and it isexpeotedthat the net lor the current year will reach $90,000 or $100,000.

'vTestlncbotue Electric There has been quite a movement In West inghouse stocks of late, says the Boston Bulletin, and the prospects are that they will sell muoh higher before the first frost. West lnghouse preferred has as much merit as any stock on the list; it pays dividends at the rate of 7 per cent, cumulative and is a lien on the property. It hHS in fact some features of a bond. Neither is It limited to 7 per cent, for both stocks share equally after 7 per cent on the common. A veiy im portant factor in Westinghonse affairs is the growing popularity of the company's street railway apparatus. During the past twelve months, old apparatus of some other manu facture, has frequently beenreplaoedby the Westinghonse patterns. Another point of importance, is the small expense account as compared with the other large electrical companies. The West inghonse people are thorough mechanics, and because of this mechanical knowl edge, a vast amount of money has been saved to the concern. Our readeis are more or less familiar with the brilliant lecord of the Westinghouso Airbrake Company, and the success of the latter is partly due to splendid management in the mechanical de partment. The other big companies have always had plenty of money and from the first contracted costly and extravagant habits, and these have so grown upon them, that as yet, they have not been able to make any appreciable reformation. This is a lactor whleh will ultimately make Itself felt; has made itself appaient in Westinghonse affairs in one short year. There is talk that Westinghonse will get the Philadelphia street railway contract and possibly that of the Lynn and Boston. Apropos, it is current in certain quarters that the Thomson-Houston Company is be ginning to find out that it got the worst of the bargain with the Edison Company. At the time of the consolidation, the T-H, was in fine condition, whereas the Edison had a floating debt or about $600,000, and was In other respects less strong. Then it is re ported that both Messrs. Edison and Vlllard are practically out of the consolidated com pany. Some friction occurred, or wnlch the world does not know. Elaborate offices were fitted up for Mr. Edison in the General Elec tric Company's offices; but he does not use them and has rented offices in another street. It is also understood that Tillard's Milwaukee street railway will change from Edison to Westlngbouse equipment. Treasury Officials Serene. Treasury officials state that the depart ment has a balance of $50,000,000 and the revenues, notwithstanding the loss of the $60,000,000 on sugar, are increasing at the rate of $1,000,000 a month from customs alone. This rate of increase has been going on since the 1st of March. Tiio Increase of internal revenne ror the year closed July 1 was $3,000,000 over the year before, and this year there will be an Increase of $6,000,000 over the year just closed. It is estimated that the customs revenue this year will prodnce a surplus of $15,000,000 over expenditures. Sec retary Foster is not at all apprehensive that the Treasury Department will experience any trouble inthe matter of the shipment of gold during the present year. He so ex- firessed himself to-day. Tho Secretary be leves that tilings are sale with the 'largo amount of gold the government absolutely owns, viz: $110,000,000. and thinks it will take many n demand to Seriously deplete- mis store, wnen constant accessions to it an being made. Nothing has been done looking to a prevention of the shipments of gold from this country, said the Secretary, and nothing will be done. financial Notes.

The first Westinghonse eloctrio plant in Brazil was erected at Julz de Fora, ISO miles not th wrist of Bio Janeiro, in the mountains. The difficulties 'in erecting the plant were verygreatonaocountof the-nature of tne country and the very inferior labor. The powerplan t consists of two doible-discharge Leffel mining wheels, giving together about 300 horse-power, nnd three dynamos. No poles could be obtained from the native timber and the wires from the station to the town were strung on iron rails, set about five feet In the ground, with cross arms bolted to them, jnst as Is done In parts of Bnssia and India.

A FEW GOOD SALES ALBEtDT COMPLETED AND A MUM BEK OF OTHERS UNDER WAT. Two Recent Transactions on Fifth Avenue Beyond tbe Court House A Demand for Larger Storeroom In That Section Beports From the Inspector ana the 'Agents. There is considerable activity apparent in real estate ' circles, with the most interest manifested in city business property and improved and unimproved lots and tracts in the suburbs. Indeed, the realty market has evidently started in in earnest, as the business 'transacted within tbe past lew days has shown. The absentees are fast returning, and with their return the many deals underway which have been pigeon-holed since their departure are being taken np again. The past week has made a very good record and fi om present indications the present one will surpass it. A deal is reported as being on the hooks for the sale of a large tract of Squirrel Hill proporty.whlch will,ifconsnmmated,Involvo a great deal more than $100,000. The agent. Mr. W. W. Burchfleld, who is looking after the Interests of his son, Ira M. Burchfleld, during the latter gentleman's absence from tho city, says that the deal will likely bo closed in a short time. Many other transac tions of great impnrtanee, which are not in shape for publication, are also known to be at the interesting point. In fact, the pros pects for au unusually brisk week are very nattering. Two More Fifth Avenue Sales. During the past week two important trans actions wore effeoted In Fifth avenue property beyond the Court House. A lot 41 xl!2, comer or Fifth avenue and Old avenue part of what was once the Bod man prop ertywas sold for $17,500. and soon after ward a lot of similar size farther ont was sold for same amount. The sales were ffected by J. C. Keilly, Diamond street. There is very little more vacant property for sale on eastern Fifth avenue. All recent purchasers havo Improvements on an ex tensive scale In view. The demand for stores of larger dimensions than are now on that part of the avenue is urgent. A great many purchases have been made with a view to supplying this want. A Little Gossip. George Johnston, tho agent who sold the Demmler property on Sixth; avenue at $2,500 per foot front, says the price was a fair one and shows a good advance in the valuation of Sixth avenue property since tbe last previous sale. Another now plan of lots beyond East Liberty is about ready for the marker. Par ticulars will be given in this column in a day or two. The Dibpatoh heard to-day of two good sized transactions in city realty that will be closed np within a few days. One, in volving $35,000, will probably bo reported to-morrow. W. A. Herron & Sons placed a mortgage of $50.C00at4per cent on down town prop erty, and say they have plenty more ac the Bams rate for the same kind of realty. Building Permits. The Building Inspector issued more per mits to-day, some of them being very large ones, than In any one day for a long time.

CREAMERY BUTTER BOOMING. The Elgin Butter Board Again Advances Prices An Improving Demand for Country Butter Higher-Priced Eggs Exprcted Soon Sugar and Canned Goods Still Strong. Monday, Aug. 22. Sales of creamery butter were made on the Elgin butter board to-day at an ad vance of lo per pound over last Monday's quotations, which means that the present range here will be advanced lc as soon as this week's consignments, of Elgin bntter are re ceived. The market is very strong at the advance and attractive goods are hard to get in anything like the quantities desired. Chicago is an active competitor for Elgin goods, and a9 produc tion is light prices are bonnd to be higher. A 40-cent local market for choice creamery is expected by some within a month. Tho recent advances in Elgin makes has stimu lated the demand for lower grades and choice country makes are in better demand at advancing prices. If creamery does go to 40 cents, or anywhere near it, the consumption or country butter will be very materially increased. The general merchandise markots opened tamely to-day, us usual to Monday, but reports indicated that the demand was steadily improving. As to prices, no radical changes were reported. Mr. David Whltmyre, President of the Iron City Milling Company, has Jnst re turned from his farm in Mahoning county, O., and says the country thereabouts is plagued with grasshoppers. They injured oats considerably beloro cutting, and are n ow working on the corn. A gentleman from Washington county, Pa., says the wheat and oats crops of the county are unusually good this year. Thirty ncies yielded 800 bushels of wheat, which Is high above tho average, and 300 bnshels of oats wolghed moro than 400 bushels did last year. Grain, Flour and Feed.
