JXUU iUAliXJA AUfl Afci-ll-l, And Gold Continues to Pe Engaged for Shipment Abroad, A Wl AK STOCK MARKET RESULTING A Drive it Reading on lipectalions of an ' Unfavorable Decision. BAD CKOP HBP0RT8 HELP THE BEARS New York, Aug. 2& The final declar ing off of the switchmen's strike at Buffalo stimulated a little bullish feeling among the local traders in the stock market this morning, but there was no widening of the speculation. The withdrawal of funds from this center to the interior has gone on at a rapid rate since Saturday, and as a result call money is distinctly dearer, in addition to which it is now recognized that there is practically no limit to the demands which Europe may make upon us for gold, and despite the material cheapening of exchange rates, the outgo still continues, though not in large amounts. Under these con ditions the new demand which sprang up a few days ago has entirely disappeared and thestroncth of the Gould shares, aided as they are by the re recent decision, and the manipulation of tho industrials fail to more than hold the market steady and to-day tho upward move ment was soon brought to an end. No press ure to sell appeared.liowever.and the fluctu ations were confined to narrowerllmit" than usual of late, almost all the leading railroad shares being restricted to a range of less than 1 percent. Beading, with very moderate transactions, led in the dealings and New England and the Grangers and the other coalers were very quiet, developing no special feature of interest. A drive was made at Heading in the afternoon, however, " without material result, and in the absence ot support Man hattan was sold down something over 1 per cent, bnt, with the exception of a drop of 1 percent in Distniert in the early trading, there were no other weak spots developed. The bituminous coal shares weie the special strong points, both Tennessee and Colorado Coal rising sharply in the afternoon, bnt the limit of the movement was soon reached. The reiteration of the rumors that the decision of the Chancellor of New Jersey would bo unfavorable to the coal combination was used to help the drive at Reading, nnd un favorable crop reports aided in depressing the seneral list, but on the whole thero was nothing in the news of tho day which had any material influence upon the course of prices. Alter the late drive the market settled down to extreme dullness, closing dull and barely steady geneially at only slight but irregular changes for the day. Railroad bonds were quiet and displayed the same Irregularity which marked the trading in the blocks, but as usual ot late the final changes were insignificant for all but a few inaotive issues. Government bonds were dull and easier. Close of the list: U. S. 4j reg 115 U. S. 4s coup 115', Mutual Union 6s 110 N. J. a Int Cert. .1UM .Northern Pae. lsU..118S Northern Pac.

Chicago, Aug. 25. There was a panic in provisions on the Board of Trade this morn ing owing to the cholera scare in Europe, and prices went down -as if the route were greased, dragging grains down with them, but later in tho day a fooling of greater con fidence was developed ahd a decided reac tion in every thing resulted. Wheat opened steady, l'he settlement; of the strike at Buffalo, reports that farmers' deliveries of winter wheat wero falling off and the Cincinnati Price Current's statoment that the returns from tlueshers continue very disappointing, and that the condition of spring wheat had deteriorated during the last week, were strengthening pieces of news, bnt wero more than offset by the re ported spiead of cholera in Europe and the wak cables and tho broak in provisions. This first was the most important factor in tho bear Interest, and was used to the ut most. New Tork flooded this market with the most sensational and panicky dis patches, saying that steamers were refusing to load wheat for any of the infected ports, ana that the business stagnation abroad has caused the suspension of many grain mer chants. The Impression soon prevailed that It might be impossible to sell our wheat abroad, and there was a partial panic among holders. Ilately Bros', wired their corre spondents in Hamburg if the situation 'was rs bad as represented in tbe papers, and. the answer was: "Cholera not severe; no dan ger." This, with the fact that weak holders were soon baled out, partially restored confidence, and the early loss was recov ered. Corn was more or less affected by tbe pre vailing demoralization, but did t'Ot break its much a wheat ot provisions and recovered , I all tlie loss and more. Good rains were re- iportodlnmanyor tbe corn Statos, Later thero was more confidence: the trade began I to argue that rains, after all, might not be I so beneficial as was at first supposed; wheat and nog -products were snowing signs 01 strength and prices advanced. O its were iairly active and weak early, bat soon nnd a partial recovery. Hoi products were nervous, unsettled and decidedly panicky ror a time. The recent strength in provisions was based largely on the increased European demands, conse q'lently the cholera news from Europe pro duced consternation and there was free liquidation, stop orders and vicious raiding. The'Iatter was through brokersand was sup poscd to bo forheaccount of a heavy packer who, it is said, has all of his product sold in advance at high prices. September pork opened 5c lower at $10 95, touched $10 97K, broke to $10 SO without n stop, reaoted slowly and closed steady at $10 55, a loss of 45o com pared with the closing price of yesterdav. September lard opened at $7 45 against $7 62 yesterday at the close, declined fnrther to $7 40. but rallied sharply to $7 67M and clo-ed at $7 65.

OHLY A FEW SHARES HESITATE To Follow the Leader and None iuything Like Weakness. Ehoir FRESH GOSSIP ON THE HESS WELL Thursday, Aug. 25. Activity and advancing values continue to be the chief features of the market for local securities. Trading was active to-day in the stocks that have been advancing of late, and only Philadelphia Company failed to score a gain over the closing figures of the previous day. At one time the latter looked as if it was about to recover the loss sustained by yesterday's reaction, but too much stock came out and the close was un settled at about Wednesday's final quota tions. In all the other gassers a firm tone was apparent, and in Electric and Switch and Signal farther gains were established, thsft in the former being little short of sensational. Underground Cable' was stronger, but the demand was not quite so forceful. Street railway shares cut quite a figure in the market. A little effort was made to bull P. A B. Traotlon.but It was too freely offered bv a house that everyone knew could unload barrels of it, if so dis posed, to encourage muoh buying, and it closed barely steady a fraction below tho best prioo of the day. Pleasant Valley was moderately active, hut It, too, closed below its best price. There was one transaction in P., A. & M. Traction, but tho othors were more or less neglected, Du quesno Traotion. failing to seoure mention until just after the last call, when it was offered at 29? without drawing out a bid. Nothing but bull talk was heard all day, and higher prices were predicted for neaily everything. In such times the wiso man will go slow and keen a sharp lookout for re actions. The advances in some of tho shares have nndoubtedlv been manipulated to a certain extent. Prices have gone up too rapidly and are sure to have a sharp break. At present, however, the market looks to be a buy for a further rise. Course of the Market. Trading on 'Change to-day covered Switch and Signal, Electtio second preferred, Phila delphia Company, Pleasant Valley Hallway, P. & B. Traction, P., A. & 21. Traotion and People's Pipeage. Union Switch and Signal was stronger and higher at 18J18 sales and a olose at 181S with trading mod erate. Philadelphia Company was aotlve from 23 up to 23J4 and back to 23, with the close at 2223. Pleasau t Valley Hallway sold at 2'i. closing fractionally bo lcw these figures. Westinghousn Electric second preferred opened np at 37 sales, moved up to 38 sales at the second call to 38 bid at the third, sold at 3S after the close, and the final Quotations were 330) 3S. The East oon trolled the market. Prices, however, did not get as high here as in Bos ton, where sales were reported at 39 The Boston close was but little better than our own. P. Jt B. Traction was well taken at 2B until near the close, when support was lucking nnd a barely steady olose was made at 2626K. P.. A. & M. Traotion sold at 44U and Pipeage at 16. mere i was no fresh cossln of conseauence affecting anything on the list. The directors oi me nctsourg ana mrminznam Traction hold their regular meeting, but it was said that nothing but routine business was trans acted, which is equivalent to saying that no action was taken on tbe dividend matter. In the shares that did not figure in the trading. Underground Cable and Airbrake: Chartiers Valley Gas maintained its ad vanced position under a fair demand, and Brldgewater Gas, Allegheny Heating Com pany and Wheeling Gas were somewhat firmer in sympathy with tbe general list. The market as a whole was. aotlve and strong, closing at 'the best excepting in Philadelphia Company and P. & B. Traction. Electrio second preferred did not olose at the top, bnt its net gain for the day was a large one. Philadelphia Company. "I notice The Dispatch is inclined to be a little conservative on Philadelphia Com pany." said a gentleman on Fourth avenne this morning. "That may be all right. I was a bear once myself, but conditions have changed. I do not believe the Philadelphia Company is going to be short of gas th3 fall and winter, notwithstanding they.will sup ply a greator number of manufacturing es tablishments than they did last winter. I Fin my faith in the Plnhook field, live In- Oakmont borough. Last summer, that is the summer of 1891, the pressure in the boronsh main averaged two ounces. After the striking of the Hess well tne pressure ran up to 70 pounds, a. regula tor was put In Just outside the borough limits and the pressure decreased to 15 pounds in the borough. On the other side of the regulator the pressure is still 75 Sounds. Superintendent Miller tells me the less well has more than doubled in pressure since it was struck. Indeed, no one knows how big a well it is. It was tested the other day and showed a pressure of 262 pounds in ten seconds. Think of it. A minute pressure of 250 pounds shows a first class well. What would tho Haas well show if it was tested a minute. When tbe guage was put on and it showed a pressure of 262 pounds .in ten seconds Mr. Miller ordered tbe test stopped for fear of latal results. The main into which the well empties itself is n&t big enough to carry tho gas off, notwithstanding it supplies Parnas sus, Tarentnm, Springdale, Armonrville, Oakmont and Verona, and !a good portion of the East End. Fully 15 per cent of the gas is wasted at the well, because the main Is not ,big enough to take care of it. It is the greatest well ever struck. The Plnbook field is the greatest field ever struck, and the Phila elphia Company owns and controls the cream of it. That's why I have changed from a bear to a bull on Philadelphia Com pany." .

Up to last year exports of gold in August were exceptions to the general rule govern ing gold shipments, but this business has changed completely within two years, and no matter what the rate oi exchange may be gold exports are possible. L. Von Hoffmann says: "I have been a seller of sight sterling at 4.83. yet we are again going to ship gold to Austria, for the reason that it Is willing to gay an increased premium for our gold, old ceased going to Germany last year when exchange touched 4.8, and I think they will stop at about tnat point this season."

The erection of another new business block on Fifth avenue will be commenced shortly. The two-story brick -buildings now occupying the Hartley property on Fifth avenue, near High street, which were partly1 destroyed a short time ago by fire, will be torn down and a large brick struc ture erected in their stead. The exact height of the building has not as yet been definitely agreed upon, but Mr. F. B. Hart ley, the owner of the property, says he will not erect a building on the premises con taining less than five stories. - Other buildings on the same scale in the same vicinity are likely to be commenced at any time, as plans and specifications are be ing prepared for them and it is understood that arrangements aro almost completed with contractors for their erection. Acreage Becoming Scarce. Scarcity of desirable acreage has become a very conspicuous tact in realty circles with in a short while. Said a well-known agent to-day: "In the Eighteenth ward, where acreage was so plentiful not a great while ago, but little, if any, can be had at the pres ent time" "It would be a very easy matter to ncoount for the scarcity of property in this line bv citing the many plans of lots that have been laid off within a very "short time," said another prdmlnent agent. Property in acreage is becoming less plentiful in all sec tionsthat is, desirable, well-located tracts that could be improved for a reasonable sum of money." Items or Gossip. Property owners are very firm in their views of values as yery few concessions are being made by sellers. There is plenty or ready cash on tbe market and many cash sales are being closed. Realty is in great demand and property is bringing its full value in every instance. Many small houses are belncr erected in various parts of the city, tho majority of wuiuu eun ue reaonea oy tne eiectno or cable cars irom the heart of the olty in a very short time. The hints of an agent on the value of small Improvements, particularly to store prop erty, which were given in this column, were heartily endorsod all along the line. One of the agents said: "Ibaveanutnberof business properties in my bands for rental which need repairing and brightening up, but tbe owners lefuse to make the improvements. I am satisfied if tl.oy were made the proper ties could be rented much easier and for a little more money than Is now being paid. I know it pays to keep property in good shape." Bolldlng Permits.

Oats will not come up to the average, as reports show tills crop to be light in quantity and poor in quality. Pretty nearly the whole speculative trade of Chicago Is coing on the assumption now that the statement of the world's supply to be issued by the Vienna Congress next Mon day will be bearish. A Minneapolis letter from ono of the most prominent wheat arowers of the Northwest says that there will be no wheat for export liom tho Northwest extept in the shape of flour. Tho ilnto-sown wheat Is in'poor shape to stand frost, and there are grave fears for the saicty or that part of the crop that got a late starE.

Spot Material Setrcs In All Section! of the , Conntry. New York. Aug. 25. fecial. The Iron Age will say: The situation in ths iron and steel trade throughout the country is in a somewhat mixed condition. With every in dividual concern influenced by its own set . of conditions, one fact comes out clearly, and that is that it will take a longer tima than was generally expected to cover de layed requirements of consumers, and to fill up to a normal amount the depleted stocks of Jobbers, mills and consumers. Spot material is i-tlll scarce in nearly all parts of the conntry, and much better prices are obtained lor it than ror future delivery. Thure ha been a little more activity in ora in Cleveland, where Gogebic non-Bessemer ore has sold down to ', 40. In pig Iron there are indications of an im provement in Philadelphia, but Chicago and Cincinnati continue to reflect the hoavy pressure upon tho market of largo accumulated stooks. Soft steel billets aro still scarce for immediate delivery and as yet little has been done for future delivery, the best-price offered being $22 73 at Pitts burg. Steel rails remain llleless. The esti mate recently made that the mills bad on August 1 about 175,000 tons of orders on hand, proves to have been correct. In finished iron and steol, notably in plates and struct ural material, the market is very active, par ticularly in the West. IE0N WABBANWACTirE Abroad and Frieas Are Advanced on a Re duction in Stocks. (BT CABLE TO THE IF.OX AGE. Lospox, Aug. 23. Quite a large businesa has been done in 8cotch iron warrants, about 1,500 tons changing hands on Monday " alone, and the prices moved up to 423 4d. Covering of "short" accounts was conspic uous as a factor, but the announcement of a reduction to 389,000 tons in stocks was not without effect, Cleveland warrants ad vanced to 40s 3.1, although traded In to a very moderate extent. Only 16,000 tons of Cleveland pig remain iu stock. Pig tin sold down to a low as .93 and moved back to .94. Tin plate market has remained quiet. Rather more inquiry from Russia Is reported, but tbe American de mand continues very slow, and disappoint ment in that connection has an unfavorab la bearing upon the trade. .New Tork 31 era 1 Market.
