THE PITTSB,URG DISPATCH. THURSDAY! AUGUST 11, 189a'
WESTERN MM KISES
And Gains Are Scored by a Number
of Other Shares.
READING ACTIVE AND HIGHER.
Reduction in Sterling Fxchange Ee
asanrts the Unlls.
EAILKOAD BONDS MORE ANIMATED.
ifEwYosK, Aug. 10. The dullness in
the stock market continued unrelieved to
day, but the firm temper was maintained
and large fractional advances were the rnle
among the leading active stocks, while
specialties were lifted from 1 to 2 per cent,
though the general list was he'd dull and
almost stagnant. The reduction in sterling
exchange rates seems to have put a stop fo
the gold exports for the time being; at
least there is no indication of any intention
to ship at present, which is a circumstance
reassuring to the bulls in the stock market.
The absence of pressure to sell was the
most prominent feature of the trading dur
ing the last two days, but while there have
been efforts to pick up stocks quietly, and
the strength of the market attests the ex
cess or the demand, it Is not believed that
much success lias attended these tactics,
and it is thought that any forcing or the
covering would result in much sharper
gains in the leading shares. A story that
the Pennsylvania was working in harmony
with the Reading combination, subsequently
contradicted by the Pennsylvania folks, had
the effect of increasing the amount of busi
ness In Beading and advancing its price some
what, but without exception the rest or the
leading shares were dull throughout.
The market closed Arm under pressure
and most stocks showed small gains over
their last night's figures, while Western
Union, which had been tne strong feature
or the afternoon, scored a lise of 1 per
Railroad bonds were a little more ani
mated, but tailed to show the strength they
have of late, and while in the great majority
or issues the changes were slight there were
n few losses of note.
Government bonds were dull and steady.

Watson & Gibson to Oakley & Co : "We
arc bulls on the slock market and recom
mend purchases particularly of all our
stocks which are known to the American
department of the London Stook Exohange.
We may mention Lake shore, Erie, at. Paul,
Ontario and Western and Reading as our
favorities. The crop news to-day shows
that the dlp.itche or Monday,
which indicated dire disaster to corn,
were false. The maiket to-day has not been
paiticulaily active, but it was very firm and
some specialties made marKed advances.
St. Paul earned $112,000 the first week or
August this vear moie than in the same
week last yoar. Westei n Union to-day sold
at Its top price, an advance of nearly two
points 'i om yesterday's close. The market
did not close at its best figures, but its record
for the day was good."

CORN BREAKS
And Everytblnir El but Oats Goes TTIth
It The Crowd, However, Continue to
Its Mronjrly Bullish Keporta or Rains
Exaggerated.
CmcAoo, Aug. 10. There were rains all
over the corn belt yesterday and last night
as noted in the Associated Press dispatches.
As a consequence tho price of corn was li
l)c lower at the opening of the Board of
Tt ado this morning. In sympathy with that
cereal everything else was lower at tho
start. But at tho recession the demand out
stripped the supply and thcro was a unan
imous advancement, though it was accom
plished in hog products only after a little
further decline. The. result of the day's
trading w as to leave final prices for cereals
near where they stood at the close yester
day with provisions considerably lower.
Tne wheat market was dull throughout,
stagnant at times, in fact. Aside from the
weakening effect of the break in corn at tho
opening, weak cables assisted to start prices
011 a slightly lower plane, but the buying by
shorts and longs prevented any further re
cession, and prices moved gradually np nnd
the closing was within a point of the top.
The continued liberal shipments to Enrope
more than connterbalanced the bearish
effect of SratlttrerCt available supply state
ment, "showing an increase of 1,654,000 bushels
East of the Eockv Mountains and of 237,000
biiMielson thtPaciflc Coast.
Tho chief Interest centeredin the corn pit,
wlime there was a crftwdof excited opera
tors. A good many traders were disposed to
wait Tor the United States crop report duo
this afternoon, but there was still a good
deal of activity, and the general rains in
Knnri. Nbriji' -nrt nthor at rinrfl a
sharp break in prices. Around the opening
September corn sold at SIVc and a decline of
lc from last quotation of yesterday, but
mere was sucn an active aemana mw it ruo
Inter to 53Jc. Crop reports are still conflict
ing, but conservative people refuse to believe
the stories about a ruined corn crop that
aie being cliculated on the Board. Still,
mot of the crowd are strongly bullish,
w hich accounts for the fact that the shorts
were glad to come in at the break. Another
bullish piece of news was the leport of the
Signal Service officer at Kansas City saying
that the newspaper reports abont yester
day's rains were greatly exaggerated.
Oats were active and comparatively
stronger than corn, closing with an advanoo
ol 9c for September.
Provisions failed to show the great activ
ity noticed yesterday, but there was a good
amount ot business, n the call board
Wright took all the October ribs offered.
The Cudaliy Company sold a good amount
of Januarv lard to Bran and English
packers. The Cndahys have sold a great
quantity of provisions within the la three
days, and it is tunposed that they have
nearly liquidated their lines. September
pork sold at $12 70 just after the openinir, a
decline of 32c from yesterday's closing
paied with vesterday

LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS
Wednesday, Aug. 10.
There was fair trading in local securities
on 'Change to-day, and, with the exceptions
of weakness in P. & B. Traction and a
slight reactionary tendency in Duquesne
Traction, the active shares continued to
tend upward. P. & a Traction, 'Wheeling
Gas, Philadelphia Company, People's
Pipeage, Duquesne Traction stock and bonds
and Union Switch and Signal were the
items traded in, nnd all bnt the exceptions
mentioned scored more or less significant
gains. The only really weak spot was P. &
K, which sold at 26f and closed' on an
offer to trade either way at 26J The
stock is only being pressed for sale
from one source, however, and there is not,
apparently, much of it for sale; but there is
no support, which makes it an easy matter
to put the stock down. Duquesne Traction
was rather freely ofiered at 29X. hut, as in
the case of P. & B., the offerings came from
one source. There was also a lack of sup
port after a few lots bad been absorbed, and
the close was rather unsteady at 2626
The stock was not regarded as weak. The
reaction was looked upon as a natural one.
and the general opinion seemed to be thnt
a speedy recovery would ensue. In tne
other tractions little change occurred.
Central and Pleasant Valley were
stronger, however, the demand for
the latter being comparatively ac
tive. It n as said the deal for the absorp
tion of the road by the Pittsburg, Allegheny
and Manchester was being discussed in one
of the downtown offices by those who have
been engineering it ever since its inception,
with a prospect of something definite being
arrived at. No one seemed to know the
place of meeting, however, and those who
ai e popularly supposed to know all that is
going on with lespect to tho deal appeared
to be afflicted with tetanus when approached
on the matter.
The gas shares were higher. Philadelphia
Company sold up to 2P) at the third call, at
w hich point a little more stook was offered.
apparently, than was wanted. The stock
closed at 21K2 with tho demand,
strangely enough, reported quite as good as
ever. People's Pipease as higher at 14
sales and a close at 14J16, and Wheeling
Gas moved up to 19 sales and bidnndera
pretty general inquiry. The strength of the
latter was ascribed to the advancing ten
dency 01 oil and the prospects of a resump
tion 01 dividend payments iiusiau. xnere
was a good deal 01 quiet looking around for
the stock on the street, where 19, it is said,
was freely bid. Every advance in oil favor
ably affects the gas companies owning pro
ducing oil territory, and. as the Wheeling
owns more valuable oil territory than any
other it responds most readily to the ad
vances in oil.
Dnion Switch and Signal joined the up
ward movement, selling np to 17 and closing
at 17 bid. The bidding was rather eager and
came partly from sources that have always
looked at the stook through bearish specta
cles, which added significance to it. to far
as could be learned, there was nothing new
in the company's affairs to stimu
late a demand for the stock, but
it certainly looked at the close as
if it was going higher. All brake im
proved to 129 bid, which comprised the
noteworthy movements of the day. The
market closed with all the strong stocks
looking sood for further advances, with the
possible exceptlonor Philadelphia Company,
and the weak ones looking as if they might
go lower.
United States Glass.
At the meeting of the Board of Directors
of the United States Glass Company this aft
ernoon a dividend of 4 per cent was de
clared on the preferred stock and one of 3
per cent on the common out of the earnings
of the past six months, both payable Sep
tember L The transfer books will be closed
from August 21 to 81. both inclusive. This
sets at Test the .long-talked-of matter of a
dividend on Glass and explains in part the
recent bnylng of the stock which put it
from 65 to 71- There was undoubtedly some
buying for voting purposes at the an
nual meeting of the stockholders to
be held next Wednesday, however, and it
remains to be seen how much theie is in the
stories that have been current for sometime
of discord among the officers and in the
board. The declaration of the dividends, as
noted, which woro about what was expected,
would seem to indicate a fairly harmonious
condition of affairs. It is hinted, however,
that the voting at next Wednesday's meet
ing will result in the election of some new
members to the directory.
A Little Lift In OIL
Speculation in petrolenm certificates
shows signs of returning to lire again.
Trading on the looal floor to-day was fair,
comparatively speaking, and evidence was
furnished showing that the accounts of the
faithful are being steadily augmented. The
upward turn of prices .is awakening inter
est, not only among the producing classes,
but among tho speculators as well. There
seems to be an impression that the
building of the independent pi pa
lines is responsible lor the reviving
tendency, the argument being that the
Standard proposes to take a hand in the
market lor the purpose of encompassing the
destruction of its rivals on the same old
plan. If the Independent lines do not sell
out to the S. O. C the producers will have
three buyers for their production Instead of
one. prices will go up. production will be In.
creased and the specnlative end of the busi
ness will have a show.
New Chicago Banks.
Chicago's banking capital Is soon to re
ceive considerable accessions. The Bank
ers' National Bank will start business in a
few days and a new bank in the Unity build
ing is being organized, to be known as the
Market National, which will be ready for
fall business. This bank will also have
$1,000,000 capital. Established banks, of
course, do not look with favor upon new
competitors, says the Tnbunr, and they find
a good many reasons why new Danking in
stitntiors cannot make a great success, but
in spito or that promoters are finding it easy
work floating Dank stock. The statement or
the State banks, In answer to the last call of
the State Auditor, has just been com
piled, and it shows some remarkable
comparisons with the condition a jear
ago. It is interesting to no still
further with that comparison, and unite the
totals from the reports of both National and
State banks, and compare them with the
totals of a year aga Exact correspondence
of dates in the comparison is not possible
because the calls for statements of tho Na
tional and btaie Dan us were made on differ
ent dates and at irregular intervals. But
taking the statement for the date nearest
the present period for 1891 and 1E90, a most
remarkable increase in totals will be noted.
The aggregate cupltal has increased from
$24,552,000 in 1890, to $34,477,000 this year. The
increase in the capital or the Nntional banks
has been rather larger than in the case ot
the State -banks. There has been an enorm
ous increase in ajl the ptluclpal items. The

NEW RESIDENCES
Under Way and Under Contemplation for
the East End Another Kqw Plan In the
Vicinity of Schenley Park No Com-
' plaints or a Dull Market.
A tour among the architects to-day dis
closed the fact that the city will shortly be
beautified with some new buildings, mostly
in the life of residences. Some very fine
structures will he commenced within few
days, while plans and specifications are
being drawn for quite a number of others,
r to be hurried through as quickly as possible."
inese dwellings are mostly to be built of
stone, and quite a number will be of a very
fine grade of granite. Permits have already
been issued for the building of several.
While the architects who are drawing plans
for the others mentioned refuse for the
present to give their location or tho names
of the parties for whom they are to be built,
it is a well established fact that the bouses,
with but lew exceptions, are to be located in
the East End. Among the costly dwellings
to bo erected is one for W. S. Gnffey, at the
corner ol Liberty avenue and Baum street,
the estimated cost to be $20,000.
A New Plan N-ar Sclieiily Park.
The eight acres of land situate at the
Junction of Forward nnd Salina avenues,
owned by S. J. Fleming, has been laid out
into a plan or lots and named the Park Ter
race plan. Mr. Fleming has been negotiating
for the sale of this property in acreage for
some time, but not being able to consum
mate a deal in that manner, he decided to
lay it out in lots, and has done so as stated.
There are 121 lots in all, and lour lots, 20x123
feet each, have been sold for $1,020. This
property Is in the Twenty-seventh ward and
overlooks Schenley Park.
No Complaints of Dullness.
Few sales are being reported this week,
mainly because or absenteeism and the high
temperature, but no complaints of positive
dullness are heard. On the contrary the
agents are talking in a verv cheerful strain
legaidlng the prospects for tho remainder
Of tho year and nearly all of them have any
number of Irons in the fire, some of them in
food shape lor the finishing touches. The
mproving condition ot affairs in
dustrially ia helping the tone of the
market very perceptibly, one evidence of
this fact being that a number of deals in lots
and. small houses, which were checked Dy
the strike troubles, are being taken up
a.aln. In the line or big transactions The
Dispatch hears a little talk in high circles
of one involving $250,000 that is likely to
come to a head about the flrst of next
month. There aie any number involving
$15,000, $20,000, $25,003 and $30,000 and from
these amounts on up to a $4u0,00o deal in
acreage, in hand, bnt the parties interested
in nearly all of them cannot be brought to
gether until the vacation season is ended.

FIRlfNESS THE RULE
In the Local Mercantile Markets, With
Breadstuff, Groceries, Provisions and
Dairy Products in the Lead Current
. Trade Notes and Price Changes,
"Wednesday, August 10.
Trade in general merchandise in Pitts
burg and throughout dependent sections is
fair, despite the high temperature and the
unsettled condition of affairs at the Car
negie mills, and the firmness which charac
terizes the leading markets is accepted as a
very encouraging indication. B reads tufls,
dairy prodncts. groceries and provisions
show the most strength, as well as the most
activity, with lumber, hardware and gen
eral building materials still moving freely
at good prices. Collections are not as easy
as they might be, but no serious complatnts
are heard. In the Chicago speculative mar
kets interest is centeredin corn, oats and
piovisions, which have of late shown much
activity and an upward tendency. Higher
prices have been chiefly due to the fact that
thrashing returns on oats have been disap
pointing, and advices frorn Kansas have had
much to -ay about damage to the crops by
high temperature in districts where there
was an insufficient molstnre. There have
been reports just as strong to the effect that
the damage was confined to small and un
important areas, but the Kan; as State crop
report was quoted in confirmation of the
reports of damage. In oats, corn and pro
visions the short interest is known to be
very largo, and this has added to the confi
dence of the bulls. Wheat has rather trailed
along arter other grains and has shown llt
tln advancing tendency.
In the South mercantile business is in a
more satisfactory condition and is increas
ing. One of the good features is that pay
ments are made more promptly. The crop
reports are more encouraging; now cotton
was marketed Inst week in Georgia and Ala
bama; the weather has been favorable lor
all growing crops. The Iron furnaces con
tinue in blast, nearly every turnace being in
operation, but prices are very low. The
labor troubles in the North have not beon
felt in southern industries. There is an in
creased demand for all kinds of machinery
and positive evidences of an improving situa
tion in industrial pursuits. Lumber con
tinues active. Textile plants are in pros
perous condition.

Groceries.

ity, but the only noteworthy features are
continued strength in sugars and canned
goods. Following are a few late items of
interest to the trade:

$4 50 for gallons delivered here.

At New Orleans, receipts of molasses are
small, but little demand exists and prices
are entirely nominal for both grades.
