Local Speculative Interests Held Down by
Bearish Influences.
THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY

To ascertain the views of real estate bro
kers as to the condition of trade this mid
summer season, number of them were in
terviewed yesterday with the following re-
suit The striking feature of this symposium
of opinions is its optimism. From first to
last agreement is perfect that the market is
active for the time of year, and the outlook
all that could reasonably be desired.
J.B. Larkin & COVE are having good
deal of inquiry for city and suburban proper
ties The market is in good shape and active
for the season. The outlook for fall trade is
favorable.
Allies Bailie-We are very busy. The pros
pect for fall trade is exceedingly good. ValVes
are firm for all kinds of properties. There are
no signs of a reaction.
Charles Somers & Co.-The market is in a
good condition. Judging from the numerous
inquiries there will certainly be good fall
trade.
Baxter, Thompson & Co.-The market is
surprisingly active for midsummer and the
future is encouraging. The supply of business
houses is short of the demand. Pittsburg
would grow much faster if this want were
supplied
w. "A. Heron & Sons-There is slight lull
owing to the hot weather. but there is nothing
wrong with the market Small houses are IN
demand. Almost any number of them could
be sold or rented.
Straub & Morris-we have done twice as
much this summer as we did in the correspond
ing months last year. We have escaped the
usual ho:-weather lull.
Samuel W. Black & Co.-Business is good
and the outlook better. The market is on
sound basis.
e. h. Love-Business is a little quiet Just
now The weather is too hot for hustling. In
uuiry is good, prices firm, with prospects
bright.
Black & Baird-Business with us has been
brisk all through the season. We have had no
lull. Our sales this month and last almost
equal those of the busiest times in the spring
and fall. Conditions and prospects are favor
able.
Thomas Liggett-1 have no complaint to
make. Business is remarkably brisk for the
summer. 1 think there will be a heavy fall
trade.
Reed B. Coyle-Times are good and will grow
better as the season advances. l am very busy.
Ira M. Burchtield-The large number of i'm
portant deals concluded this summer IS evil
dence of an active market. The future is
bright financially and otherwise.

IN A COMATosE CONDITION.
sIngnauion still the Feature of the Local Oil
Market.

Market.
Yesterday was not a day of rejoicing for the
oil traders. although they were in good spirits,
and passed the time singing songs and narrating
"reminiscences of the good old times. The be-
lief is gaining ground that the Lima product
will be listed. 1t is thought that Oil City and
Pittsburg are favorable to the project.
The market opened down at SS15. which was
also the closing figure. The highest price
touched was SO and the lowest SS5A. showing a
point, as there is more long oil here than else
where. Outside exchanges were expressionless
as well as featureless. Wednesdays clearances

in refined since the Sd. Well news was hardly
mentioned.

AMERICAN pEMAND FOR TIN
The Feature Of the British Metal Market at
Present.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIE DIsPArcHt
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Iron Age in its
issue of to-day has the following from London:
Prices for block tin have advanced under
strong demand, chiefly from the American
market. The rise in the price of silver. how
ever, served to restrict shipments from the
East to some extent which fact in connection
with the moderate stocks here and heavy con-
sumption. operated to excite local interest and
strengthen prices. Copper declined slightly
during the early portion of the week
under review, but recovery has since then
taken place and the market is again strong
with merchant bars up to f5S 5s, cash. 1t is re-
ported that the bulk of the copper recently in
French hands has passed into the possession of
a strong combination who expect to realize
much higher prices shortly, owing to present
position of supplies and enormous consumption
for electrical and other purposes.
OF Scotch pig iron warrants only small sales
have been made. but prices moved up to Ass 3d.
Some influence came from the announcement
that three furnaces have been damped. An
unexpected calling up OF Cleveland contracts
on Thursday last caused a rush to cover on the
part of the bears, and the shorts have since
had to pay prices that the longs dictated
Buyers of hematite warrants have been hold
ing of, but prices improved slowly. Old iron
rails have teen moderately active, with more
calls from America. and sales are reported
made recently at 63 f. o. b. for flanges
The progress Of the American tariff bill over
shadows all other influences bearing upon the
tin plate market at the present time. Buyers
are active and makers very firm. Many orders
have been booked and there is large demand
from San Francisco and the oil trade. 1t is re-
ported that considerable orders for steel blooms
have been received from the States. Other
wise there is no new feature in the steel trade
apart from small rise on wire rods Reporis
from the German centerS state that the de-
mand there for pig iron is slack and that stocks
continue to increase. The Melingrifith Tin
Plate Works. near Cardiff, have been closed.
American Manufacturers Cable Quotations
Scotch Plg-Warrants declined a fraction
but have since rallied under the influence of a
squeeze in Cleveland and the shutting down
of two or three furnaces For makers iron

Busipess News and Gossip.

DuSlnesS was quiet Oh Il rOuTIu avenue yesIer-
day. partly on account of the Allegheny cele-
bration, but it was more particularly due to the
intense heat. Il was too hot even for gossip.
The Penn avenue deal at 81, 900 foot, re-
ported yesterday caused considerable talk in
real estate circles. 1t marks an advance on
that thoroughfare of fully so per cent in less
than five years. What effect this will have on
contiguous properties remains to be seen, but
it is feared it will not be conducive to activity.
The reason why mortgages are not published
in this column is that their indefniteness OF
location frequehtly casts suspicion on unin-
numbered property. This is unjust and annoy
ing to the owners.
w. A Heron q Sons have sold 1--WE lots on
Robinson street, Thirteenth ward, within few
DAYS. This shows that the demand for prop
erty is not exhausted.
Fifth avenue extension, within ten minutes
walk Of the Court House, is good field for the
erection of business houses, with fats on the
upper floors. building Of this description
will be commenced there in a short time.
There is no better investment. Tenants are
clamoring for accommodations.
Thirteen of 81 mortg ayes on file for record
yesterday were for purchase money The two
for $3.50. The number of mortgages satisfied
almost equaled those placed.

THE N w FORCE BILL.

How the Extraordinary Measure IL Re-
ccivcd by Southern Republicans.
Mr.. john r. Lynch, the colorcd
cX-Rcprcscntativc from Mississippi,
and now fourth auditor Of the treas
uuy, writes ;m exceedingly lengthy
communication to the Post in favor
of the proposed federal election law
Mr.. Lynch is one Of the ablcst of the
colorcd politicians of the South. or
rather he was, for practically WASH
ington has been his abiding place for
q number of years, and the only in
he appears to take in his race is when
he writes an occasional letter or
makes an occasional speech on South
crn affairs. He is thorough politi-
clan. and professional colorcd poll
tician can not be expected to give
good advice to his people. There arc
no strong points in his argument in
favor OF another force bill. It pro
cccds on the old assumption that the
cOlOrcd voters of the South arc never
to have anylibcrty of opinion but arc
to be forever chained to the hind
wheel of the Republican party. In
opposition to Mr.. Lynch the voice Of
a great many of the real representa-
tivcs OF his race have been raised
men who have not come TO Washing
ton TO look for office, but have STAYED
ut homo and cast their lot with THEN
own people. But the most signiti-
cant circumstance about this whole
matter of now federal election
machinery is to be found in the strong
| objections raised by many of the
prominent white Republicans of the
Southern States. The most sagacious
and the most respectable of these
questions very seriously the wisdom
and the cXpcdiency of the measure

lima, Tor many years the most inhucn-

expressed decided dissent to the
policy of any moro Legislation to
regulate elections in the South. He
Sald the caucus bill now pending in
the House was needless, that it was
plainly unconstitutional, and if en-
acted would entirely fail to accom-
pllsh the purposes for which in
tended. It's only effect would be to
disturb harmony and promotcill will
lie said there was Il time years ago
when the Republican party in Con
gross, if it had had the courage,
could have settled the negro question,
and settled it permanently. That
time was passed, and no legislation
which the Republican party may
ever be able to enact can suffice to
repair the errors which it has COM
mittcd.- Baltimore Sun.

for the bill arose chiefly from the con
dition of affairs in the South, and
upon being challenged for spccifica
ton by Southern members he gave
instances in Alabama, Georgia, Mis-
slssippi and Arkansas. His asscr-
tions were disputed by gcntlcmcn
from these States SO constantly and
stubbornly that at times two OF more
members would be speaking at once.
Rowell, however, held the floor and
abatcd nothing Of the sweeping na-
tlTc of his charges.
Lchlbach, Of New Jersey, Rcpub-
lican, said he could not favor the
legislation. He admitted the condi-
ton Of elections in many parts of the
country would seem to justify the
passage of such measure He had
no doubt frauds were perpctratcd to
u certain extent both North and
South. 1t would, however, in his
opinion be worse enot to let the people
OF the several States regulate their
own elections. Loud Democratic
applause. The moral sentiment of
the country and education would
bring about the same results, and
relief then would be permanent. The
bill was not general and uniform. He
questioned the right to make Il law
applicable in some States and not i'll
others. 1t should be uniformly ap-
plicablc and not dependent upon the
petition OF any number of citizens.
United States supervisors were to be
appointed and supervisors, experience
had shown, were liable, like others,
to seek to influence elections their
own way. He thought the law would
bring about conflict of authority
between election officers chosen by
the people and those appointed by
the United States Judge and this
might bring about dcplorablc state
of affairs. The law could not be on
forced when moral sentiment was so
low as to favor corrupt elections and
when that sentiment was elevated
the law would be unnecessary.
Tucker, Of Virginia, opposed the
bill specifically and generally He
claimed that it gave supervisors the
right to determine the qualifications
OF electors, right reserved by the
Constitution to the States.

addressed to several persons in each
county Of the State, with the earnest
request that each shall lay down all
other work for the short time that is
before us, and gather together all
patriotic men, who recognizing the
peril now pending over our State,
will apply their faithful and devoted
energy, and by organization, save
her.
There is no restriction OF number.
The larger the representation the
better we will be able to ascertain
what is for the common good.
You are urged to attend the confer
cncc in person and to secure the at
tendance Of other true men. 1t is
requested that, as soon as possible,
you indicate what will be the repre-
scntation from your county.

1t must be regretted on all sides
that there has been SO much disorder
at the Democratic campaign meetings.
Surely there ought to be some way
to stop this. If no other device will
accomplish the result, it might be
well for all the candidates to enter
into an agreement to quit speaking as
soon az there should be any ba be-
hayior-such conduct, for examples,
os was sccu at Laurcns, Aiken, Edge
field. Columbia and Winnsboro
Judging from the domgs at these
places, we apprchcnd that the rough
or elements rather took possession of
the meetings, The sober people on
both sides ought to take charge of
things--thc sooner the better.
