vr i THE PITTSBUKGr DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16,' 1891; 11 THE TEADE OUTLOOK. A. Canned Moat Syndicate Goes to Pieces and PRICES DEIFT TO A LOWER LEVEL. Ckecss Goes Slow on Account of the Abundance of Fruit BRIGHT TEADE PROSPECTS SOUTH Office op Pittsecbo Dispatch. ) Tuesday, Sept. 15. The combination which attempted to hold tip prices of canned meats has come to an untimely end, and prices of beef have found a lower levcL Canned beef lias been re duced from $2 10 to SI 70 per dozen in the past two weeks, and chipped, beef has been rcducod from ?2 30 to 51 85. These reduc tions correspond to the drop in cattle. Canned tongue remains as it has been, price per dozen beinr quoted at $2 90. Volume of trade in thi line is reported larger this Benson than ever before. There has been a fclislit decline, however, of late for tne reason that picnic season is on the ane. Coffee Steady. Tho coffee market is a shaae firmer the last few day. The late drop iu prices of J'.Io teems to hare bad the effect of increas ing trade. Demand here and westward has increased, and the movement has been much lnore free the uast week than it has been for botne time. The total receipts at ltio Sep tember 10 -were 913,009 bags, against 513,003 baps at the vame time Inst year, and 453,000 bags ttv o j ears, ago. Tile total risible supply st Xcw York is estimated at S37 500 bags, ajraiust 551,lv9 bags at this time a year ago and 4S0.252 baps two years ago at this time. Java collect are -v en firm ".ith a tendency ton aril lasher prices. Tho !5o-tou Herald lias this to say of the coffee trade outlook- 'ilucn now seems to lianjr on the reports to coma of the Xovem Iwrflonciim; of the coffee trees in South America. It is a foregone conclusion that tlie early lloworiiia; of the coff.-o year was a remaiksblv Iruitftil one. and if the Xnrem lierflowenm: should bo relatively as good, there must be a most remai kable crop ot coffee. Cheese Is Quiet. The coii-uuiptioc of chcse this season has fallen below theaverag. Thera have been Eeasons where the volume of trade reached B.500boxe- in a single week. One of our jobbers renorted sales of over 2,000 boxes In a ieek a year ao. The entire consumption has lallen below this amount the best week this year. The decline in consumption is explained by the large receipts and low Sriecsof fruit When trnit is so.iliiini'.iiit and cheap as it is this season the products ot the dairy are sure to go slow. This is the Situation at the piesent, and it is a situation Jiot uniaiorable to the health and comrort of consumers. The more fruit and less fatty matter stored away in the inner man and woman the better it will be for the health and temper. Southern Trade Prospects. The business situation in the South has not Jieen altogether rosy of late years, but in that section there has been a decided im provement in the outlook, as the following from the Manufacturers' Record, a Southern "Journal, will prove: "In all parts ot the "outh farmors are re ported a les- In debt than for years, many reports im,' Unit their indebtedness is smaller than at any time -nice tho Mar, duo In part to the enioiced economy on account ofmimeun stnngeucv since last fall and in jpai t to the lar-e crop-, of the hist few years. The low price of cotton m tho spring caused planters to pay more attention to raising their food supplies, and the South will probabK be ies- dependent upon other sec tions lor coin and wheat than ever before. It is estimated that the gram crops of tho South this year ill aggregate nearly 100,000 bushels more than in 1890 and this, added to the large ieldof fruits and vegetables, will keep at home at lea-t 70,000,00 that last year went North and AVest tor foodstuffs. This will full offset the low price of cotton, nnd if cotton should advance by reason of a decrease in j leld, it would bo a clear gain to Southern l-iinimr interests. The yield of icgar, rice and tobacco promises to exceed the crop- of lfK) and to add largely to the general pro-penty of the --outli. The bank-, ers in all sections ot the south report that with bu-incss on a solid basis, ith less in debtedness on tho part of the fanners and merchants than for many years, and with Rood ciops assured, the piospeetsforthe fall and -a inter have never been more favorable. A period of great activity in solid, sub stantial development is universally pre- dieted." A 3IID DAY BULGE. A Boonilct In Wheat and Other Cereals, Preceded and Succeeded liy Weakness Tho Effect of the War Scare TTovisions Tame and Featnreless. CHICAGO There was a surprise Jn store for traders in wheat this morning. On the put b. before the opening, the market was treat and a leaction from the advance of yestei day was looked for. The trade was in clined to discredit the reports of a crisis on the Bosphorus, notwithstanding the circum stantial accounts publishedof the landing of British blue jackets on the Island of Jlity lenc This opinion was strengthened b3' the lact that English consols were apoint higher this morning.and that the Liverpool market, While firm, did not give any indication of a tendency toward war prices. Then the de nial that the "Hold your wheat" circular 1i- an official utterance of tlie Farmers' Alliance was a beailsh factor. Tue opening price reflected these condition-, being at 97U&Pi cents, against 97 cents at the ciosu yesterday. There was quite a tiade done at tho slight reduction jiamed. then- appearing to have been a great number of selling ordcis at that limit, based Jiresuma'jlj on the expectation that the urmncss oi the English securities would counteract tne Mar scare. Then came toe surprise. The circumstan ces connected with the Mitvlene incident "were given with so much dota'il in the news paragraph', that it took verv little in addi tion to renew the war alarm, and conse quently the earlv calculation of further dis patches tending to confirm the fact, caused the immediate withdrawal of selling oiders and within ten minutes of the opening the jincowasi ptoil 00. Many or the commission jnen had selling orders from New York at tho opening, but more had orders to buv, nnd the shorts at once took it as their cue to cover. Tkeristo98 cents brought out a good deal of w heat, but from the latter price and up to 93J4 it was impossible for a broker to fill more than one or two buying orders. During the following ten minutes there was H quick reaction to as cents, hich was succeeded by a long dull spell, during which the price did not go Inguer than 99i cents nor lower than &X cents. The cause ot the sudden reversal of feeling Tvas the circulation of a cablegram denying that there was auy truth in the ,1, mors. In addition to this, loreign houses turned sellers. The late news tended to weakness. Foreign houses kept on selling nnd the shorts got covered so that tho de mand fell oB mate-ially. . Near the close there wn a quick break irom 99 to 87? cents The weakness continued, but the close was steadv at 97 cents. Cleirances of over WjO.OoO bushel" from the seaboard probably prevented a more severe break. Corn opened IHc lower than yesterday's clo.eat 55c, though Septombei and the dis tant futures were practicall unchanged. The arlv weakness in the ruling option was attributed to the fine, warm, maturing weatlici all o er the corn belt, rapidly di minishing the chances of fi ost doing any damage, but the excited feeling in wheat and some liberal buying by parties supposed to be acting lor the clique started shorts to xn cruig on a liberal scale, and there was a sl.urp advance to 56Kc for October, the other lutures lesponding feebly. When the strength went out or wheat the earlier In fluences, including the fact that the reoeipts were iarelj in excess of the estimates, came into play and prices receded, dropping daring the last hour toMc, which was the closing price 'i.its Joilowed corn, but the fluctuations wen conflne-1 to a range of 5c. Tl.t provision market was rather tame and inclined to weakness on its own ac count, but wao controlled in some measure vy the actuations in corn. There were no feature, with the exception or the selling By the packers on the advance which fol lowed the eirly bulge In the wheat and corn lnaitet. The closing piices do not differ materially from those of j esterday. -J!"5, 'ea41?,: "tores ranged as lollows. as cor-rcctrjibj-JohnM Oakley JL Co.. 45 Sixth street. .....ow. vwwti juru oi irjlfte.

ACREAGE WANTED F0R SUBDIVISION Brokers report a good and growing in quiry for real estate, and expect a decided revival in business in a short time. It is worthy of note that after a comparatively inactive summer there are no concessions to be had in prices except in a few cases where owners are pressed for ready money. Those who think differently have only to go into the market as buyers to find ont they are mistaken. Sir. Edward Houston has purchased a residence property in Ira 3l Burchfield's Oliver Terrace plan, Hazelwod, for S6.500 cash, and will occupy it at once The lot is 80x116. The building 1b a well-finished two-story frame of eight rooms. "Vieux Temps" sends The Dispatch the following in regard to Commercial Row, to which allusion was made in this column a few days ago: " 'Commercial Row,' on Liberty street, was built in 1833 by Galway, Watson and Scott. The row reached from the corner of Wayne, now Eleventh street, to Wallace's marble works opposite the hea of Smithfleld street. The Union depot occu pies the grounds of the Methodist burying f round and St. Patrick's Catholic Church, he old canal and warehouses occupied Liberty from now Eleventh street to Pike or Thirteenth street. Commercial Ron, as it now stands, was a wonder at the tune it was built. Six or eight four-story brick stores all in a row were big things for Pittsburg at that tim-4 " As stated, there is talk of re placing two or three of the buildings in this row with large modem structures. , Those who complain of a lack of snap in general trade, as compared with last year, should bear in mind that there is less idle money now than there was the . That was for the most part a period of apprehension, and financiers kept a tight grip on their moneybags. Crops were light and there was very little call from that quarter. Now they are immense, and the bulk of available funds is employed in moving them, leaving but little lor investment in real estate, stocks or bonds. In a short time tho harvest w ill be out of the way and money will begin to return to other channels of trade, result ing in a general revival in all lines of busi ness. Special and individual embarrass ments do not affect general industriil con ditions, which are sound and aggressive. The rise of industrial towns around Pitts burg is, a favorable sign of the times, show ing that the .manufacturing interests of Pittsburg are expanding so rapidly that more room is necessary for their accommo dation. These new towns are not inimical to the business of the city. This is the mar ket whence they draw their supplies and where thev distribute their products to con sumers. Thelz promoters, or most of them, having their homes in the city are as closely identified w ith, and as solicitous for, itspros perity as if their mills were located on the Southside or in Lawrencoville. These thriv ing colonies are outlets for the expansive energies of Pittsburg, and emphasize in a way that cannot be misunderstood her im portance as a manufacturing center. Thoy are aids, not hinderances, to her in indus trial development. Wood, Harmon & Co. are getting things in shape for an active oampaign next spring. A representative of the firm said yesterday: "Conveniently situated acreage, suoh as Pittsburg home-seekers desire, is becoming scarce. After a long search we have found a piece that suits our purpose and have opened negotiations for its purchase. If tho deal goes through it will make quite a stir in real estate. circles." Easiness News and Gossip. Thirteen purohase money mortgages were -on-fllo yesterday for record. Brinker's will be the terminus of the Wilkinsburg branch of the Duquesne road, under the present arrangement. Stock trading continues slow in spite of the return of gold from. Enrope. Caution in speculation is always to be commended. George Thornton will soon break ground in Temperanceville tor- three-story busi ness house. At tho last call vesterday Manchester Traotion was offered at S3. Several hr6kers spoken to yesterday ex pressed the opinion that the proposition to ratify tlie sale of the Garrison alley property and switch the mortgage would be agreed to at the switch and signal meeting to-day, E.

Th Moorhead-McCleane embarrassment was widely discussed in business cirolcs yes terday. The drift of opinion was that it had done all the harm it conld.

Pittsburg Speculators Uninfluenced by Bul ges in London and New York The Lat est Embarrassment of Lone Standing Chartlers Gas Below Zero. There was a dead calm on the open board yesterday, and very little was done in the offices. No ouo seemed-willing or Able to raise the wind. The only sale on call was that of a membership at $333. Price changes were unimportant. Final quotations were in most cases the lowest of the day. Stocks finishing at a loss were Philadelphia Gas, Central Traction, New Ynrkfinrt Clnvnlnnd OnaPnnl nnd ExchangO National Bank, Liberty National Bank and. fieasani vaneymaae sugnt gains. The rumor mill was busy, but ground out nothing to shock the community. A broker remarked: "The latest incident in the em barrassment line bears about the same rela tion to existing conditions as cattail clouds do to a thunder storm. It has been brewing for several years. It will be fixed up." Chartlers Gas seems to have no friends left. Less than a year ago it was quoted at 4045. Yesterday 3 was bid for 200 shares and 3)4 for 10. The cause for this is w ell known and is a common corporation fault. New York was strong and active, and Lon- don averaged J per cent higher.

The aspect or affairs abroad, which was distuibed by the Mity lene affair, was looking better this morning and London, which yesterday was a seller of all kinds of securities, became a bnyer to day, and to that extent improved the feeling here in the temper of the stock market. The feeling in the steeet was of a more pro nounced bullish character than for some time, and the opening prices this morning were all from H to per cent better in the aetive stocks than they closed last evening. Tho bears and those who have been work ing for a reaotion in order to pick up cheap stocks, made a final assault upon values in the early trading which has of late brought them success and Union Pacific was knocked down per cent, but the rest of the list lost only aDout their opening gains. On the other hand. Distillers' continued its advance and other specialties showed a tendency to rise in the face of the general depression, which lasted only a short time. The new buying was very apparent, and purchasers for tho long account became more numerous as the morning wore away, which started the shorts into cover before prices had got too far away from them. The result was that an upward movementbegan, which lasted with but few and unimportant inter ruptions throughout the day. .There was a moderate set-hack toward 2 p. m but the in terruption was of short duration and theup ward march was quickly resumed, and the highest prices of tho day were generally reached in the las'; half hour The declara tion of a dividend of only one-haL per cent on Rock Island caused the selling out of the holdings of a few disappointed speculators, hut while tho stock fluctuate! over a range of per cent Its final rally was ove; 1 per cent from its lowest figures.

SUGARS VERY PIEM AT THE ADVANCE Oitioe ot PrrrsBuiio Dispatch, ) Tuesday, Sept. 15. Country Produce (Jobbing prices) At the Monday meeting of the Elgin Butter Board, last week's prices of creamery but ter were reaffirmed. There is no longer the scarcity of creamery here there was a week or two ago. The high prices served to bring birtterine to' the front, and the effect is seen in quiet markets for the genuine stuff. Strictly fresh eggs are scarce and outside quotations are easily obtained. Peaches appear to be on the wane. Receipts have been very light this week, and prices are moving upward. Quality of offerings in this line shows improvement the past few days. As peaches drop out, grapes are coming In to take their place. The noticeable feature in front of the Liberty street commission houses was the pyramids of grape baskets. Tropical fruits are reported quiet, as are vegetables of all kinds. Both sweet and. Irish potatoes are heavy stock. The same is true of tomatoes, cabbage and, is fact, all garden products.
