FBUITS AND MEATS. California the Only Section of the United States That YIELDS AH ATEEAGE FED1T CROP. Canned Goods and Freserres Bound to be nigh Kexl Fall DBEBSED BEEF IN ACUTE DEMAND Office or Pittsburq Dispatch, i TUESDAY. July 16. 1S90. t From almost every quarter of the land comes the report ol a short frnit crop. Michigan and New York were depended on lor an average apple crop, but late advices from those States indicate that there will not be more than one-fourth the average crop this season. This proves that the great npple sections of the country will have very little, it any, to spare for the outside world. In this section the fruit crop has been in the main a failure. The small fruits, such as berries and cherries, bare In this section been far below the avcrago In yield. Fruit preservers have discovered this fact by dear experience, and have not been ablo to socuro their usual Buppllcs. Latost advices from Maryland and Dolawaro tiro that tho peach crop In that territory Is a practical failure. Krult packers In Maryland ndvlso their customers here that their occupa tlun Is cone tor this year, and that only a jrry small quantity of plo peaches, which are of in ferior quality, will bo packed this caon. Call fornla Is the only soctlon of the country where the fruit crop will romo up to the average. Hupplies rnii that noun o will fall far short of tneellnc demands. A laiRwmuiibrr of Califor nia fruit shippers hao withdrawn prices lor futuro dellvory In the past few week, and those that liirmsh price am 'M to 3., per dosen higher In tbclr otters In tho past SO da). Pencil Crop n I'ullurr. It Is about as certain as anything In the future can bo that cauned fruits will bo 60 per cent higher next tall than theywero last sea Bon. A leading wholesale grocer said to-day: "In my opinion the price of canned fruits the coming fall will bo at the very Uast 60 per cent higher than they have been In tho past ten In the same connection this representative of one ot our leading firms said: ''Our midsum mer trade It fully up to what It was a jear ago. About tho only marked difference between now and then Is the lower price or luear. Dnrinc the first half of last year we made nice profits on sugar. Ilut in the last half there were heavy losses to those who carried large stocks, so that the gains were offset by ibe loi.-es. And. of late, the dnlt of markets has been In a down ward direction, so that Jobbers have realized little or no profit in the long run. The more we sold the worse It was fur us. llie sugar sales for the past half year or more only maut heavy losses as wo operated on a declining market. The handsome profits of a year ago have been about obliterated by recent losses. Ordinarily at this season ot the year tucar reaches its highest prices. While there has been an upward movement the past weelc.it has been so slight that job bers find very few crumts of comfort in the situation. The great scarcity of fruit this sea son has very much lessened the demand for sugar, and, as a proof, volume of sales are be low the average for this time of the j ear. Wo are not sorry over diminished volume of sale?, as there is little in the sugar trade but work at this time." Dsmsad For Dressed Menu. A representative of tho Chicago dressed 1eef industry. In an Interview to-day, said: The total sales of dressed beeves in this city will not be far f ram 1,000 head per week. I am confident that SU0 Chicago dressed beeves are handled here every week, and the Herr's Isl and abattoir slaughters from 150 to 200 head of cattle every week. Expensive Ice this season baa forced many of the butchers who hereto fore slaughtered tlieir own cattle, to depend on dressed beef. Our own establishment has been handling about 125 bead of Chicago dressed beeves, and 100 head of sheep and lambs weekly, of late, and we have little difficulty disposing of this amount of stock. Less grade beeves, or what are know n in the trade as grassers, have declined fully SO per cent in the past few weeks, but choice grain fed stock are firm at old prices." Our ice expenses have trebled as compared with last season. Last summer at this time nur expenses for ice were about 200 weekly. 'o the expense, la fully $600 per week. Our f ncreased trade lvhowever, a fair offset to this increased expense. Butchers who do a omall business are depending on dressed beef more than they ever did before. Hence there are more who handle dressed meat this season than at any time in the past." For the same rea sons whicn help the dressed beef industry canned meats are unusually active. The picnic season is now at its height, and canned meats aro in extraordinary demand. The Increased expense of preserving fresh meats, owing to the high priced ice, has very much stimulated demand for all canned meats. Sealers in this line report trade was never bet ter, and that volume of business this season will show an Increase of at least 25 per cent over last. LITE STOCK MARKETS.

Speculation Slow ana Strictly in Line With the Perspiring Weather. TOE KEWS AMD GOSSIP OP THE CITI. Almost the last advice that John Jacob Astor gave to bis boys was to buy land. He considered it the basis of all wealth, and therefore perfectly safe as an investment A business man on Fourth avenue who owns considerable real estate, and is on the lookout for more, said yesterday that it had been his experience through life that judi cious investments in realty always paid in the long run. This observation has special force in this part of the country where new towns are constantly springing up, new manufacturing plants located, and oil and gas wells put down. Land (or which there teems to be no use to-day may be in demand to-morrow. Tho country is filling upo rap Idly that land cannot be kept out of tho mar ket Indefinitely. There U, or soon will be, use for ovtry acre. Ho addedt "Every foreigner, wbother Polo, Hungarian or Italian, who settles In 1'lttsburg adds something to tho value of real estato. Ho docs not consume as costly food nor woar as good clothes as Mr. Carneglo, but ho occupies, ,is much room wlirru ho oats onleopi, This enlarge the demand for liouioi. which, In turn, Increases the isles of land. Then, again, tho addition or about 170,000,000 a year to tho circulating medium of the country, as provided In the silver bill which Is now a law, will reduce Interest to S or 4 per eont. I think this cheap ening of money will bo a groat benefit to poor people, as It will give thorn a hotter clmnoo to acqulro homes and otherwise Improvo their condition. "Theso considerations," be conoluded, "In duce me to believe that the landed Interest will continue to grow in Importance and strengthen as it grows, but not so much In the way of en hancement of values at In universality ot de mand. The fever Is ou and rising, and It looks to me as If It will not abate until practically every man bocomes the owner of the ground upon which he lives. How can real estate falter under such conditions? My advice to all la to buy land, and as much of it as possible," t Of Denefll lo Thousands. 'sick benefit, funeral aid, death benefit and other kindred societies have multiplied with great rapidity the past 10 years. As they are confined to those who are in the humbler walks ot life, the good tboy have done is Incalculable carrjlng substantial aid to thousands of strick en families and inspiring thoso who are fortun ate enough in being members with a courage which might not exist in their hearts without them. Tho members of these organizations will be glad to learn that Hon. Robert P. Por ter. Superintendent of the Eloventb Census, will endeavor to secure the statistics of the no ble work these associations aro doing, and It is safe to say that no other branch of the census will be moro interesting. The business of gathering the data has been placed in charge of Mr. Charles A, Jonney, special agent of the insurance division, 53 Will iam street. New York city, and all associations tbrongbout the United States, whether incor porated or private, should assist by sending to him the address of their principal officers. Composition With Creditors. Among recent decisions of the Supreme Court affecting real estate and commercial in terests was one wherein it was beld that a de fendant who seeks to defeat a clear legal liabil ity on the ground that plaintiff has signed a general composition of creditors, must prove performance of every condition on which the effect of said composition is limited. The fact that a party enters up a mechanics' lien for materials furnished does not release the pur chaser from personal liability for such materi als, and hence the failure of a holder of such a lien to sign an agreement of creditors, which provides thai it shall not be binding unless all creditors sign, is fatal, and a party who signs the same is not bonnd thereby. TlnBlneaa Nesvs and Gossip. Local architects are in clover. One of them said yesterday that he had never known so busy a season since he came to Pittsburg, ten years ago. Afire insurance solicitor, with a smile all over his face, was encountered yesterday after noon, and in reply to the question, "How is business?" said he had done more so far this month than during the entire month of June. He has written policies for a great many new houses. Among the reminiscences on Fonrth avenue yesterday was one to this effect: A few years ago a man came here from Boston and started a shoe store on Wood street. Nothing suited him. He said Pittsburg was no place for business, and wonld soon go to the dogs. Finally the Sheriff shut him up and he went back to Boston. A year or two later be returned and accepted a clerkship on the same street where ho formerly done business. He lived long enough to realize that Pittsburg was not going to the dogs. Ot 28 mortgages on file for record yesterday the largest was for $15,000. Nine were for purchase money. Twenty-four brokers and others surrounded Captain Barbour at the afternoon stock call yesterday, and seven of them were bald-headed. Pittsburg broEers have a wide reputation for ability in their calling. E. P. Long sold 50 shares Philadelphia Gas at 30. John D. Bailey sold at auction 65 shares Volksblatt Publishing Company stock at 40, transfer guaranteed. W. I. Mustln was the purchaser. Andrew Caster sold 50 shares Electric at 3 The national banks have on deposit in the Treasury 555.102,828 in lawful money for the re demption of circulation. Movement ot standard dollars last week, $400,715; correspond ing week last year. 8123,218. About (2,000,000 have baen disbursed in this city and vicinity as a result of the July settle ments. It Is thought this will have a good effect upon the fall trade. A number of local stock and oil brokers are dissatisfied with the silver bill. They think 70,000,000 a year Is not inflation enough. Un limited coinage was what they wanted and hoped for. Movements! In Ileal Estnte. The Howley syndicate has secured altogether about COO feet of frontage on Schcnley Park at a cost of $5,000 to 10.000 an acre. Mr. Howley said yesterday: "We bought for speculation. In four or five years I think our land will bring (400 a foot front. That is a big advance, but not asmuch as has been re.ilizod on park prop erty in other cities. Property facing the Alle gheny Parks is bold at about $700 a foot." W. A. Herron & Sons say: "The need of tenement bonses is very great, and such Invest ment could not fall to pay. The bouses should be of five, six and seven rooms, neatly and com. pactly built. Our capitalists should look into this matter."

Tbe market opened at 89, moved up to 89, and then dropped to 88 aud bung around that figure all day, with scarcely anything doing. Bales were about 15,000 barrels, against 18,000 the previous day. Outside exchanges were quiet also. The range of fluctuations c was: Opening, BSii; highest, S9J; lowest and closing, 88. It was learned yesterday that a majority of Pittsburg oil brokers are in favor of listing Lima oil. providing the Standard will issue cer tificates therefor. They think that, inasmuch as it would increase the trading stock, it would be a help to business. At all events it would n urk no harm, while it might develop a crop of lambs. Several wells in the Bellevue field will he due in a week, and the other wells are making rapid progress. The Harvey well will be the first in, being down over 1,200 feet. The Heine well has passed down to tbe telrd sand, and a strong flow of gas dries up what little oil there is in the well. The Straw well has been tubed and is now being pumped.

Wall Street Bulls bill! Confident of a Ko- vlvnl of Speculation, Now That the Silver Question Is Oat of tho Way. New York, July 15. Thofalth of tho bulls In the power of tho sliver bill to revive the almost moribund speculation was shown again in the firm to strong front presented by tho stock market this morning, but tbe conservative spirit cropped out In tho dullness which con tinued without break throughout the day, as tbe effect of tbe fear of further gold shipments this week. Theso factors at present seem to control tbe course of the market both as to prices and activity. The raid upon llock Island is without expla nation. Tbe feeling upon tho Grangers is im proving and is based upon tbe expectation of increased earnings from tbo larger crops soon to come to market pver those lines. Thoso stocks show all tho feature there Is in the mar ket at present, and continuo to show tho most firmness, though subjected to some pressure. The general list throughout tbe day failed to movo, but the opening gains wero sufficient to cause most stocks to close slightly higher than last evening. Tbo pressure upon Sugar was on tbo circulation ot rumors pointing to tbe further litigation and possible disruption of tbe truit. It is tbe only stock which shows a ma terial decline, its loss being 1 per cent. Rail road bnuds showed a little animation, and tbo sales ot all Issues reached 81,021,000, which was distributed among a greater uumber of Issues than usual of lato while thoro was no feature of iuterest. Tho tone remained firm, tbo, final changes wero generally for insignificant frac tions. St. Louis and New Orleans 6's rose 2 to 120. Government bonds bare been dull and steidy. State bonds have been, dull, but firm. The Pott says: According to tbe monthly statement of the Treasury ot the United States for Juno SO the amount of tho fund held In tbe treasury for the redemption of the notes of national banks which had either "failed" or were in liquidation, or were reducing circula tion, was i55,ui9,SC0 in United States legal tend ers. It Is this fund which Is covered into the treasury by the silver bill signed by tbe Presi dent yesterday, and thereby becomes a part of tbe general treasury balance available for the purchase of bonds, instead of a special fund nem exclusively ior me purpose bdovo .. Th. I, aw tnw Hnjia nnt tnni-h thA "fi ner C6nt re flompUon Xuad," beld tot tho redemption I "WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, of mutilated and soiled bank notes. This latter fund amounted on June ? l S5.819.49S. But at the same date there were S4,203,261 of mutilated and soiled national bank notes in the hands of the Treasury officials, "in process of redemption." so that under this 6 per cent redemption process there were $9,822,759 of legal tenders and national bank notes beld out of circula tion, besides the $55,61,360 in the first men tioned redemption fund. So far as the $55,619, 860 may have any offect on the money market It is. of course, no more available than any of the other surplus of the Treasury, about which there has been so mueh talk, and which can only be got out of the Treasury In tbe way of its regular disbursements or for tho purchase of bonds.
