Country PrOduce-JObbIng Prices.
The weeks wind-up was slow in all lines OF
country produce, with poultry as the exception
to the rule. There was a scarcity of choice
poultry and hence firmer markets. The down.
ward movement of the egg market has been
arrested, and holders are irmer in their views.
Prices, however, are unchanged. Choice onions
and cabbage are very firm at quotations Sweet
potatoes are ditto. Irish potatoes Of good
quality are steady. There Is seldom season
when so much inferior stuff has been dumped
on to our markets as this, and hence choice
goods are at a premium all the time. The open
winter has had the effect of very much reduc-
ing the average quality of produce, and only
good goods find ready sale.

The most important event in real estate

is beginning to be appreciated.
Samuel W. Black & Co. completed the
transfer of a business property on Wood
street, near Second avenue, for 500, 900. The
name of the purchaser could not be obtained,

the present building or put up a new one.

KANSAS CITY, February ED Find.
lay shot and killed Joseph Carr, yesterday
afternoon. Edward Findlay is a politician,
and one of the best known sporting men in
the West. Carr is private detective whom
Findlay long ago discovered dogging his
footsteps. Findlay caused his arrest on a
charge of attempted robbery, as Carr stopped
him on the street at o'clock in the morn
ing and acted suspiciously. 1t turned out,
however, that Carr had been hired by Find
lays wife to shadow him and report to her
his misconduct. Since that time Findlay
and Carr have looked upon each other with
suspicion, and Carr, it is alleged, has
threatened Findlay's life.
The two men met face to face this after
noon, exchanged few angry words, and
then Findlay drew his revolver and fired
six shots into the detectives body. Carr
died almost instantly. FindlaY was ar
rested, arraigned before Justice Worthen
and committed without bail.

SATURDAY, February 8. 1890
In the past few days there has sprung upa
very active demand for harness leather. Last
Saturday we reported very sluggish trade
in this line, and an unusually large accumu-
lation of stock at the Allegheny tanneries. 1t
is pleasure to record decided revival since
that date, and orders are already in sufficient
to clean up the accumulated stock. Prices so
far are unchanged, but with continuation Of
the present activity for few weeks advanced
rates are sure to prevail.
Harness leather has been down to hard pan,
and even below hard pan for many months
past and any future changes in markets are
bound to be toward higher level of prices.
The tide has at last turned. Allegheny harness
leather is always the first to reap any benefit
from advancing markets, being at premium
OF at least lc per pound over other harness
leather.
Said one of our leading manufacturers Of
harness leather. who a week ago was rather
blue over the outlook: Il do not think we will
see leather as dull and low again this season as
1t was during the month of January. In all my
knowledge of the business, the past month has
been the poorest Prices were lower than ever
before in my memory. Now l feel confident
that the worst is over, and that we will not see
as low prices, or as sluggish markets this year,
or Tor many years to come"

Hides still Dull.


or Tor many years to come"
Hides still Dull.
The activity which has made its appearance
in the harness leather department. has not
shown itself in the hide trade. The latter is
expected TO reap the benefit later on. but at
present there are no signs of Improvements
Some dealers report green steer hides as slight
ly lower than they were last week. Certain it
IS that markets show weakening tendencies.
Buff hides, which have been very active and
moving upward for few weeks past, have been
arrested in their upward course, and are now
drifting slowly back to their old level The
reason for the upward movement was heavy
export demand, which no longer exists. Added
to the export demand there came strong specu-
lative influences which sent the lightweight
hides sharply upward for a few weeks past.
Calf skins are in good demand and prices are
steady. Prices of hides and calf skins are no
doubt now at their lowest for this season.
There is a strong feeling of confidence among
dealers over the outlook. With an active de-
mand for leather, which has already started, it
is only question of short time when the ac-
tivlty will reach the hide department, and any
future changes will inevitably be for the bet
ter.
Local Jobbiug Shoe Trade Goes Slow.
The jobbing shoe trade, so far as local demand
is concerned, is very slow. Orders are coming
freely from points at a distance, but from our
nearby towns orders are very light. A repre-
eeutdLlNe OL Ouo OL Tue ledulnB JODOluR HOuSeS
thus reports the situation: Our local trade is
unusually light, for this time in the year. Re-
tailers in this vicinity are evidently carrying
light stocks of goods. Knowing that they can
secure their goods on short notice, they pursue
the hand to mouth policy and thus the jobber is
forced to carry the burden. Our customers at
distance are obliged to keep more stock
ahead, and from them we are getting more
than the average amount of orders for spring
trade"
Notwithsta N ding tba li0btnass oF local orders
our shoe dealers are strong in the faith of a
good year before US. Said one who has been
associated with the trade generation
more: THE people must nave their usual
quantity of foot covering. Our city is growing
fast and the region which looks to Pittsburg
for its supplies Is developing at an unprece-
dented rate. The increasing populations must
have boots and shoes, and while there may be
temporary lulls and spurts in our trade. we
have no fear that the outcome for the year be-
fore us will show larger volume of trade than
any previous year. The local spring trade
starts out slow, but it will be all the heavier
when it once makes a start"

business men, like sinners at the gates of Para
d Sc, could look but not enter. Everybody who
takes any interest in these things know the cause
ofthe tight money. During June and July the i'm
porters were hurrying to take their goods out OF
bond be fore August /. the date which the
Mckinley custom administrative bill became eff
fec.ive. This caused = steady rolling up OF gov
eminent tariff receipts. These unusual tariff
payments ceased on August l, but the surplus
had been largely increased thereby. Then the
demand for funds for the interior 70 market the
crops came sooner than usual. The cotton crop
matured unusually early. The money has been
pouring out of this center to the
greatest rush is apparently over, but funds are
still going at the rate OF $500, 900 a day.
The uncertainty prevailing about the workings
OF the new tariff bill has caused many importers
to draw large sums OF money out OF circulation
in order that they might be ready to take goods
out of bond at any moment in accordance with
final decision of the lawmakers. This unCer-
tainty about the tariff has played the mischief
with the money market. 1t is claimed that the
evil effects of the workings OF the bill as It now
stands have been exaggerated. Very probably,
but this act did not prevent importers from
drawing out or circ ulation many millions OF dol
lars when these dollars were most needed SEN
timent scares are actually worse than realities.
These conditions are all epheneral, to be sure

WINDOW SAYS THE PANIKY FEELING is DIsAP-

CREssoN SPRINGS, Pa, Sept. 13.-To-day
for the first time since the presidents arrival
here the weather is clear, cool and pleasant.
The president was very much invigorated by the
brAcing mountain breeze, and dlSpa tched con
siderable business. From 10 to / o. clock he
was in the telegraph Office in correspondence
with Secretary Window at New York, and AS
sistant Secretarys Bachelor and Nettleton re-
garding the financial situation. Word was re-
ceived from Secretary Window that money was
easier this morning, and that the paniky feeling
that has prevailed in Wall street for some days
is gradually disappearing.
Already essened demand from the West. A
return of some money from the South and pay
ments of the sub-treasury for bonds redeemed
interest prepaid and pensions paid in excess of
revenue receipts show that the tide is turning.
The action OF the treasury yesterday in accept
the present figure, Is supposed to indicate a
change of policy, which will result in the pay
ment of many millions of dollars FOR per cents.
The change cannot come too soon for the suffer

New YORK, Sept. IS.-The stringency in the
money market is becoming every day more
threatening to legitimate trade, and the feeling
this morning among all classes of business men
in town is that if something is not done very
soon by the treasury department, matters will
reach an alarming crisis. Secretary Window,
who for several days past has been in constant
communication with President Harrison in re-
gard TO the situation. held conference with a
number OF prominent bankers at the sub-treas-
ury to-day. The conference lasted until l:3O,
when the secretary announced that he mad as
yet arrived at decision as to what
action he would finally take. He
SAID great many suggestions had
been made to him, among others that he should
recommend to congress that the date for the en-
Torcement OF the new tariff bill, In case 1t
should become law. should be extended until
February l. 1t would go into operation on
October if passed now. Another suggestion
was that the money received and collected from
revenues at New York be deposited in national
banks on security of government bonds:
The general belief is the secretary Will recon-
mend that the operation of the tariff bill be de-
ferred until February l. This wouid let out
few millions now held back by importers. In
conversation with your correspondents Secretary
Window said the present difficulty in the money
market he believed to be one that extended all
over the country, and was not confined TO Wall
street or even New York. He said it would re-
quire great deal of careful consideration to
