THE PITTSBURG pISPATOH,- "WEDNESDAY,1 SEPTEMBER "' 14, 189a WESTERNUHMWEAK On the Failure of the Directors to Recommend an Extra Dividend. READING ACTIVE AND STRONG Owing to Iss Talk of Its Men Going Ont on Strike. BURLINGTON AKD NEW ENGLAND FIRH New York, Sept 13. The Btock market was active in spots to-day, bat the dullness in the general list was even more sharply marked than usual of late, and outside of the leading shares there was absolutely nothing in the market. From the utterances of those in authority there was less prospect of a strike on the Heading lines than appeared yesterday, but the bears laid special stress upon the possi bility of a strike as well as the cholera, the growing scarcity of money and the general belief that further heavy shipments of gold trill be made as soon as the interruption to transportation offered by the quarantine is removed. The fact that stocks have been so Veil held in the absence of any organ ized support and the evident size of the short interest, which is largely among light operators, encouraged the bulls, however, and every concession was the direct result ol special pressure by the bears. Western Union was the only prom inent stock to ehow special weakness and even in Reading and St. Paul, which were the leading active stocks, the fluctuations were confined to small fractions alter an early rise of per cent in Reading, the di rect result of the urgency or the demand to cover shorts. Tho strength in Reading.Bur llngtonandNew England in the early deal ings ceased to ha e any appreciable effect upon the rest of the list. The action of the Western L nion directors in foiling to recommend an extra dividend, as exiiected in some quarters, made that stock tho weak point in tho maiket in the afternoon, and its loss was material, but it failed to drag anything down with it, and later there was renewed buying of Heading and the Industrials, which brought their prices up to materially higher figures than tlioso of the opening. There was, however, no lack, ol pressure in tho grangers, and on comparatively large transuctions they all were held within small fractious ol their 111 st prices, and tun rest of the list remained dull and without movement of importance in either direction . The forces at work in the market remained quite etcury balanced until the close and lew change of note were established, ex topt in the stocks incntlonod. The market finally closed rather unsettled on a moder ate -volu'iie of business. ltnilrnad bonds ueie even less animated than re-sterday, the total transactions being only $791 000, and even in the Reading issues theie,as no special activity. The changes weie all lor insignificant tractions ana no tendency of piices in elthei direction was to be noted. The close V as dull and steady. Government bonds wCe dull and steady.

Bache & Co. to Oakley & Co: "Reading was the only strong stock worthy of note, and it advanced on the report that no strise would be declared. It was not said in which way Jlr. HcLeod was going to settle the strike questiim, but if the matter is settled the President of the road must recede from Ins position. The stock scored a sharp ad nncein tbeast quaitcrof an hour, and a good deal of stock was bought in for the bears. Tne grangers were weak, the advance in com and the prediction" of frost for Not thern Iowa and Illinois having a marked effect. "The market has had a pretty good ham mering the last lew days, and a "small rally rmy he engineered to squeeze out the short interest; s.ill, we believe stocks will go loner before any substantial rise can take place, as conditions are unfavorable."

Jrck Frost an Important Factor in tho Market Jnst Now tTbeat, Oats and l'i ovlsions Follow Corn Crop Kews Generally Henrisli. CntCAOO, Sept. 13 A bulge of over 2e a bushel, with much attendant excitement, was witnessed in the corn pit to-day. Tho advance was largely duo to the report of frosts last night, w hich It was thought must have mateiially injured tho crop and'more midsevciei trosts werefcarodto-nignt. This taken In connection with the late Govern- rneni report, made shorts alarmed and started :i big line or covering. All the other m.ukcts on the floor were more or less at- lecicd by the action of tho corn market. Improvements over yesterday's closing quo tations were effected as follows: Wheat, about Jfc; corn, le; oats. a; pork from 10 to 15c. There was a sensation in the seed market, timothy gaining 17c per buseel, due to tho unfavorable crop news. The charters were heavy, amounting to 461,000 bushels of wheat and 542,000 bushels corp. Wheat was a shade firmer at the opening on the decrease in the quantity of flour and wheat on ocean passage. The up ward tendency was aided by the receipts at Chicago being considerably under the esti mates, very oold weather reported in the If orth west, advices from Minneapolis that the receipts had fallen off considerably dur ing the past week owing to the wet weather, the Signal Service predictions or frost in the Korthwest and the strength In coin. News was sent In from Iowa that the average yield ot winter wheat In that State was 17K bushels and IS bushels or spring. While these were not equal to the big yields of last year they aro rather above tho averaee for a series of years. The Iowa State corn report was quite bullish, saying the past week was cool and little progress made, and reported the con dition at 75, acreage 81 and yield abont 64 per cent ol an average crop. Severe frosts be fore the 25th would reduce the outlook materially, and 20 per cent will require the whnln month to nintiue. The Weather Bureau predicted heavy frosts to-night In Wisconsin. Iowa, Nebraska and probably light In Kansas, Northern Missouri and Northern Illinois. The provision market was depressed for a short time near tho opening by the heavy receipts of hogs, but Inter the big advance In corn with a prospective further advanco should frost materialize with ci op damaging severity to-night caused some covering by shorts and In tho end the market became quite strong and closed generally higher than on the day befote. Pork is 10c higher for October and 15c higher for January. Lard for October is un changed, but 2Kc higher for January. October ribs aro unchanged and January 7K nigher.

All the Industrials Rule Firm Under a Good Demand, LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS TUESDAT, Sept. 13. Operations in local stocks to-day de veloped no fresh features of consequence. A slightly firmer tone was apparent in some of the leading shares, notably Da qnesne traction. Central traction and Philadelphia Company, in all of which small fractional' gains over yesterday's closing quotations were established, and the general inquiry, while comparatively light on the surface, was said to be quite as wide and strong as ever underneath. The firming up of Philadelphia Company was one of the surprises of the day. It was in demand from the bo-t of sources, the disposition to sell was less marked, and the readiness nithwhloh it was absorbed, and that, too, at Using prices, was accepted as meaning that the stock would not be unfavorably affected if the directors decide, as it is believed they will, not to increase the dividend rate at their coming meeting. The strength of Duquesne traction was not surprising, but it was one of the features of a somewhat featureless market. The stock sold dtopped into strong hands, as usual, and all tho indi cations pointed to a continuance of the ad vance. On merit alone tho stock is probably high enough, but merit is playing second violin in this in stance. The price is evidently going to be higher and there seems to be littlo risk In buying at the present range for a turn of two or thiee dollars a shaie at least. Bosidos the street railways mentioned P. & B. trac tion appeared to be a little firmer without being anj- highei. It was expected that the lights granted the Gr.indviewTraction Com pany by Councils would have a weakening influence on P. & U., but such was not the case. It was strongly suppoited at 25, with very little pressnro to tell at 26. The strength of' Central traction was In some way connected with the oidi nance pioviding lor the extension of the Central Transit Company's lines over certain East End streets. Tho Central Tran sit Company Is part and p.ncel of the Pltts-burg-Duquesne system, and it Is popularly supposed that the latter will some day turn up in control of Central traction. P., A. & M. traction sold at 41, and Pleasant Valloy and Citizens' traction were in request at 25J-6 and 6IJ respectively. Duquesne trac tion was offered at 29Ji after tho close, the final board quotations being 205029. Cen tral traction, which sold at 2'jH "nu closed at 29 bid, nas wanted at 29 after the close. Philadelphia Company openod at 23 sales, sold up to 23, down to 23jJ and closed nt 23 2i heciing Gas was quoted a little off ut lt19. but the other gasers were steady to firm at about unchanged quotations, though Bridgewuter, at 25 Did, was five points below the closing bid of lust week. In the industnals Airbrake was quoted at lSSi bid, Union Switch and Signal at 1S 16, do prefened at 32 bid. Undeigrouud Cuulo at 78 asked, and Westtnghouse Elec tric second preferred at 3733. All were in good demand. Luster was weak, 50 shares selling regular ly at 9 and shares "lor the account of whom it may concern" at the same pilce, the stock closing at 9 hid. A rumor was current that a special meet ing of the stockholders would soon be called for the puiposedf otmgioror against an increase in the capital stock, but a stock holder close to tho inside stated that the rumor was without foundation. As usual in the case of Luster, "you ptysyour money and you takes your choice." Our Foreign Trade. The foreign trade of the United States dur ing the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1892, ag gregated $l,857,679,b0i, exceeding the largest trade in any previous year by $128 000,000. The trade of the year was made up of im ports, $827,10L57J, and or exports, $1,030-278,030. The ex ports were subdivided into domestic pi oduct", $1,015,732,011, and foreign exports, $14,546,019. The increaso in trade, over the flguies ot the pievious year, was entirely in our exports, as the imports showed a slight falling off from the recordjof JS91 It.aj"-"--lrom statistician image's analysis that iarm products turnished 78, 1 per cent of tho total trade last year, in value aggregating $796,717,676. This exceeds by more than $150, 000,000 the value or our shipments of agricul tural pioducts In any single previous year, and surpasses the recoid of 189 by more than $260,000,003.

One Is Located In Bellevne and One Near the Terminus of tbe IVylie Avenue Line Tho Watson Tract now Controlled by the Fidelity Title and Trust Company. Tuesday, Sept 13. A new plan of lots located in Bellevne will be placed on the market within a week. The plot comprises the 30 acres of land re cently purchased by J. B.

The grading of stteets and many other im provements are under way at the present time. The plan will be placed on the market by Gcotge S. Cotton & Co., the Fed eral street (Allegheny) agents, on Monday next at the latest. This plan adjoins the Sunnysida plot, and the agents icport a steady Inquiry for this and adjacent proper ties. The lact that the extension ot the Pleasant Valley electric road to Bellevne is not far from completion has caused quite a stiffening in values of realty in that vicinity. A Notable Acreage Sali. W. A DTerron & Sons sold in the Thirteenth ward, near the terminus of the Wylle ave nue cable line, about ignores of land, which the- purchaser will at once have plotted Into building lots and put on the market.

A portion of the tract is laid off into lots known as the Watson Place plan, and they have been placed on the market again (the sale of the lots having been withheld lor some time) through Reed B. Coyle & Co. The property w ill In all probability, with tho exception of the plan, be sold In acreage iu a lew days. Notes of Gossip.

SUGAR IS HIGHER And Coffee Is Showing a D cidod Upward Tendency Fruits and Vegetable Easy Provisions Havy and Cheese Buoyant Grain Barely Mend v. Tuesday, Sept 13. As noted exclusively in these column?, granulated sugar was marked up to 5.31c by the refiners yesterday, and to-day some of the local wholesalers were quoting the same price. The demand for sugar has not abated any and higher prices seem probable, thoueh some pretty good authorities believe top has been reached. Cofiee continues strong at the last ad vance. No. 8, a very low roasting grade, is quoted in the East at 14c to arrive, and as other toasting grades aie correspondingly high it looks as If roasted must soon be ad vanced again. Fruits and vegetables are in big supply and prices are easier. Advices received to-day from cheese pro ducing centers in New York and Ohio noted scant stocks and lising markets. Grain is barely steady at quotations. Pucesate inclined to weaken, says 11 Chi cago authority, on fine crop piospectr, largo offerings and increased stocks in primaiy markets. Tne uiling piices for wheut are still remarkably low, and many people think there must be an advance Inter. This leel ingls shaied by agieat many tanners, who aie selling only their ordinary qualities of wheat, and holding back the best grades. To such an extent is this done that the current receipts include, a singularly small propor tion of contract grade. Receipts of winter wheat heio and elsewhoie have fallen off materially of late, w hile in the Northwest the spring wheat receipts are on the In crease. It Is stated that about two-thli ds of tho spring wheat in Minnesota and the Dakotas is now iu shock and threshing has commenced. Fall plowing1 is going on in vatlous States and seeding has commenced In come sections. Oats aro strengthened by the small crop, but corn it weak under the big receipts, fine grading and promising crop outlook. Hog products continue weak, despite a slight stiffening in the price o. live lios, and dealers intimato that a further decline In Borne ot the articles quoted will be estab lished this week. Ihe comparatively high pries of sugar is having a decidedly stimulating eiiect on ayiups and molasses. Grain, Flour and Fi ed.
