chief bugbear is that 1T will be

A POPULAR SCHEME.
Real Estate Dealers Generally in Love
With the Exchange Movement.
VERY LITTLE OPPOSITION TALK.
Gas Stocks Active and Steady With Q
Steadily Increasing Demand.
TIE BEARS RULE THE OIL MARKET

The proposition to establish Real Estate
Exchange in Pittsburg, as noted in this de-
partment of THE DISPATCH Yesterday,
meets with general favor. A number of the
principal dealers were interviewed on the
subject, and they all agreed that it would be
good thing, supplying a long-felt want
Among other advantages which it would
possess, as pointed out by the gentlemen in
question, would be the placing of the real
estate business on a'strictly legitimate basis,
the same as bonds, stocks and produce.
This would be productive of q spirit of
fairness that is sorely wanting under the
present system of every man for himself and
Old Cloven Foot for the hindmost. This
would be one result. Another would be to
stimulate business by insuring owners of
property prompt and equitable treatment.
They would no longer be compelled to resort
to huckstering to make sale. They would
know Just what to except, and could make
their calculations accordingly 1t would save
them time and trouble.
The argument that it would not succeed be-
cause a certain class of dealers do not want to
make their business public, is answered by
pointing to the success of similar organizations
in the Eastern cities, where this objection has
been overcome.
There are about 200 real estate dealers in
Pittsburg. Of this number rs or 100 would be
eligible to membership under the sitting rules
it is proposed to adopt Just where the line will
be drawn has not been determined further than
that the qualifications will be character, ability
and standing in the business community. De-
tails will be formulated when the committee re-
turns from the East.

situation in all cereals Trade movements are
very slow. Holders of grain and hay would be
ready to meet the cash customer at liberal con-

Country Produce. Jobbing Prices.
To-day has been anything but good Friday
| to produce commission merchants, judging
from the uniform reports of quiet trade. We
are forced again to lower our quotations on
eggs, which very rarely touch as low figures at
this time of the year. One dealer processes
a readiness to furnish the best in the
market at l9 cents. Advces from New
York are that creamery butter Is down
to bedrock, and that any changes here
after must be toward higher prices. The de-
mand for poultry has eased up slightly, but
supply is still small With the winter nearly
half gone and no old-time blizzards coming to
the front, the trade in fruits and vegetables 30
far has cut a sorry figure. as compared with ex-
pectations of commission men. Dealers in
country produce are psssimistic by large ma
jority.

The wharf from Smithfield to Market street
has been made dumping ground for the
bricks, beams and debris taken from the Wood

MERELY PROFESSIONAL.
Oil Goes Off a Little, Closing weak-A
BuIIish Outlook,

Oil was firm at the opening yesterday, being
Lc higher than the day before, caused by lib
eral buying in New York and the West, but in
the absence of supporting orders it soon sold
off. After the first two hours the tendency
was downward although several attempts were
made to buoy up prices. What little business
was done was of purely professional char
acter. The close was weak and &c below that
of Thursday. The opening price was size,
highest Size, lowest Sc, closed at S61sc. Thurs
days cearings 542, 900 barrels.
Operators hesitate to express an opinion as
to the future course of the market Available
facts indicate a bulliSh outlook. The retire
ment of a large number of certificates natur-
ally narrows the working margin. Cause and
effect, supply and demand, prevail in oil as in
everything else. The more the cheaper, the
less the dearer. Scarcity, real or imaginary
stimulates demand and demand makes prices
If the bull argument be true-and known facts
seem to bear them out-that the working mar
gin has been cut down, a sitter market is
inevitable.
