The New Meat Company.

Messrs. John h. Davis & Co., of New York,
and Messrs. Sproul & Lawrence, their corre-
spnndents in this city, have in response to
disposition on the part of the public to invest
in industrial enterprises, made careful study
of the business and prospects of the American
Meat Company, the results of which they
present in our columns to-day in connection
with an announcement inviting subscriptions
to the compaDy's stock. The concern is in no
sense trust. but simply comprehensive plan
for raising, slaughtering and selling, direct to
the consumer, beef and other meats. The
methods of the company should not be con-
founded with those of somewhat similar con-
Germs that have preceded it. Its management
is in the hands of men who are experienced in
every department of its business, and effective
precautions against dishonesty on the part of
subordinates have been incorporated in its de-
tails. The nature of the company's business is
such that it is likely to interest a very large
number of people. The character of the bank
ing houses who have Investigated the company
and who recommend its stock as a sound invest
ment is entitled to good deal OF consideration
in determining the value of the enterprise.

MARKETS BY WIRE.
Wheat Still Losing Ground-Another Drop
in May and July Options-Corn and
Oats Featureless-Hog Prod
nets Rather Dummy,


CHICAGo-The wheat market was quiet to-
day, and while the feeling was unsettled and
little nervous, there was generally less DISPOSE
ton to trade, and business was light. While
many operators incline to the belief that the
large traders are out of the May deal, there
nevertheless, are some who believe that the
effort to force out the holders alluded to for
several days past was done for some purpose
1t was claimed that more long May wheat
came on the market, that shorts covered, and
that the market was evening up. Prices for
May declined &c, recovered nc and closed lc
lower than yesterday. July advanced L@sSc
above yesterdays closing, declined 5sc and
closed Nc lower.
Corn ruled rather quiet the entire session;
fluctuations were confined within 1S@Ic range
and did not vary much from yesterday.
Oats were fairly active, stronger and higher
May was the favorite and advanced nc early on
good buying by several large traders-chiefly
to cover shorts. Offerings were liberal on the
advance, and after the urgent buyers had been
filled up an easier feeling prevailed and the
advance was lost. Later in the session quiet
ness prevailed, closing sales being at shade
below those of yesterday.
Very little interest was manifested in hog
products and trading was light Offerings
were small, and the demand from all sources
was limited. Trading was chiefly in mess pork
in other articles nothing of consequence doing,
and changes in prices slight. There was fair
trade in mess pork at irregular prices. Open
ing sales were made at sc advance but a weaker
feeling was manifested later and reduction of
l71S62Oc was submitted to. Toward the close
prices improved slightly, but trading was small.
The leading futures ranged as follows

FAR FROM FINISHED.
Nearly Four Hundred Building Per-
mits Taken Out This Season.
DIAMOND STREET IMPROVEMENT.
Closing Quotations at New York When Bus
iness Ended Saturday.
HOME MONEY PLACED ON MORTGAGES.

The total number of building permits
taken out this year to date is 367, at an esti-
mated cost of SS7, $50. Fifty-eight were is
sued last week. How does this agree with
the recent statement of a growler that
'Pittsburg is inishedr' The rapid growth
of the city and its beautiful suburbs is a
matter of pride to every we'll regulated cit
Izen. Only a few GROWERS look upon it
with alarm. 1t is not beyond hope that they
will awake some day to a sense of their utter
worthlessness to the community.
A valuable piece of property on Diamond
street changed hands yesterday. The purchas-
er is in favor of widening the street, and
planked down his money with that end in view.
In this connection it may be stated, as coming
from good authority, that the value of property
on that street has appreciated 1O920 per cent
since the widening project has been under dis
cussion.
The number of mortgages placed on record
the past week was 2l0, representing loans
amounting to over s.. 100000. One was for $685.
000 one for $4,000, one for S27, 900 and two for
$4,000 each. Nearly all of this was furnished
by home capitalists.
Inc STOCK market saturday was IN the same
boat with oil, so far as new features were con-
cerned. Prices fuctuated within a very mar
row range, and, with one or two exceptions. the
closing figures differed very little from those
of the day before. Philadelphia Gas was
trife weaker, 100 shares going at 391s. Electric
about held its own; there was no pressure to
either buy or SELL La Noria was barely steady,
with sale of 400 shares at ~. Switch and
Signal was helo at q, with 2S55z bid. There was
no demand for fractions. Consignee moved up
the hundreth part of dollar, at which 100
shares changed hands. Having broken the ice,
it may be considered as fairly on the market
There was the usual Saturday demand for bank
stocks, but none Of them were gathered in
