COUNTRY PRODUCE Jobbing prices
At the Monday sales of Elgin creamery
butter, last weeks prices were maintained.
The movement of dairy products has been
slow of late. Country butter is drug on
the market, and only the best finds ready
sale Fresh eggs are in larger supply than
they have been for month or two past.
The mild weather of the past week or two
has encouraged hens to return to their regu-
lar calling, and the result is seen in larger
supplies and lower prices. The weather is
decidedly unfavorable to general produce
trade. Receipts of vegetables, fruit and
poultry are light, but demand is also light
and present prices are barely maintained.

BUSINESS is DEAD.

Hardly Any Movement in the Grain Pits
and Even Provisions Settle Down-No
Life in Cables, hough Home News Is
Rather Bullish
CHICAGO-Wheat showed more strength
around the opening to-day and made some
advance, but still there was nothing like ami
nation. While the news was generaliy
bullish most of the cable quotations came
lower. Domestic markets were generally
strong, and there were reports of good for
eign buying at the seaboard. The early
strength departed before noon. May opened
at 9515@9534c, advanced to 96c; then gradu-
ally sagged off to Csc, and closed at 95Hc.
Corn opened quiet and was stronger for a
while. but turned weak later and declined,
closing at inside figures. There was free
covering by shorts and some buying for IN
vestment. The fluctuations of the day were
comparatively narrow, being confined to
range of &c, and the close shows q loss
OF sc, except December, which is sc OIL
Oats are dull and 1eatureless, closing &c
lower.
Hog products opened firmer. Prices or
hogs at the yards were 5@l0c higher. Weak
ness set in later and prices went off slowly,
closing at about inside firures, and at a loss
of 2sl2@25c for pork; 211a@71ac for lard, and DC
for ribs.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

Few Quite Heavy Declines, but the Ma
jority of Losses Are Fractional-Mis-
souri, Pacific Rallies the Share Market
for Short Time.
NEW YoEK, Dec. 29.-The stock market to-
day, for the first time in many days, showed
a real reactionary temper, and while there
were evidences OF support and the demand
from commission houses continued heavy,
the realizations of profits by those who de-
sire to close up everything with the year
added to the efforts of the bears and forced
small concessions in almost everything
traded in, while a few of the leading shares
made material declines from last nights
prices. The movement began in London.
The strength displayed in special stocks
was still one of the features OF the market
and in the face of the general weakness
Omaha common was forced up over per
cent in the afternoon, and, while not clos
ing at the best figures, scored a marked
gain for the day. The opening was tame
and lower. and the early trading saw further
concessions all along the line, but the
strength in Missouri Pacific rallied the
market, and prices were brought above
those of the opening, the movement being
helped by special strength in Distillers' and
Consolidated Gas. The attack on the coal
ers. however dropped Jersey Central from
ST ISss to loA and the others followed both
the Goulds and other leading shares giving
way with readiness. The downward move
ment was not checked till the last hour.
The pressure was rrsumed in final dealings,
and the market closed active and heavy.
The final losses are in most cases large frac-
tions, but Lackawanna lost l7s: Northern
Pacific preferred, ~: Burlington, 1ss, and
Lake Shore l per cent, while Omaha is up

Jewellers Well satisned-Low Priced Musi-
cal Instruments in Active Demand-A
Heavy Express Business an Indication
of Lively Trade.
OFFICE OF The DISPATCH,
P1TTsBURG, TUESDAY, Dec. 80
Dealers in all kinds of holiday goods are
very happy over the results of last weeks
trade. Those results fully atoned for the
quietness for months before. SAID lead
ing dealer in notions and toys: 81 am fully
satisfied with the results of Christmas week.
My sales were fully 20 per cent larger than
for the corresponding week of last year and
this means that the past week was the best
on record. Never before have we had so
small an amount of stock on hand after
Christmas as now. We laid in larger sup
plies than ever before, but found quick sale
for nearly all the goods we had on hand.
estimate that not less than 100000 worth of
toys were sold by Pittsburg dealers last
week. About three-fourths of this amount
was sold by toy dealers, and the other fourth
by drygoods and other firms who tackled on
toys to their regular trade. On Christmas
Eve after II o'clock we delivered about 300
packages to East End and Allegheny
homes"
Musical Instruments.
Christmas week of 1891 was one of the best
on record as regards volume of sales in this
line. Upright pianos have the lead, and not
less than 100 were sold by Pittsburg firms in
the month of December the average price
of which was above $780, Organs averaging
500 each we're sold to double this amount.
Guitars mandolins and banjos are in very
active demand. High-priced musical instru-
ments are not so much in demand as they
have been in times past. High-priced music
boxes have been so much in demand the
past year or two that there is now q reac-
tion, and demand is light in this line this
season. The trade is overworked in the line
of high-priced goods, and we are now in the
midst of the reaction. Cheap editions of
music books are very active of late.
A Big Express Trade.
Campbell and Davis, the East End ex-
pressmen, report that their trade for Christ
mas week exceeded anything in the past
They had % wagons on the road delivering
Christmas goods on Thursday, and no homes
we're disappointed at not receiving goods
for Santa Claus purposes. A single firm had
800 packages delivered by this company after
midnight on Thursday night. There was no
rest for exDressmen or toy dealers on the
night before Christmas. Said a member of
the above firm: 81 have never seen the time
when Christmas trade was as lively as it was
this year. We are not able to discover any
symptoms OF hard times or tight money. If
Christmas presents are any indication of
prosperity, certainly we are now in the
midst Of a prosperous season"
In Jewelry Line.
Christmas proved great help to dealers
in this line. One of our leading jewellers re-
ports volume of the trade for the past week
aS s., 600 better than for the corresponding
week last year. Withal the talk of tight
money and slow trade, somehow there has
been found enough to furnish the diamonds,
and silver and golden ornaments which go
to adorn brides and best girls.

AN EASY MARKET.
Full Golfers Will Surely Greet the Glad
New Year.

The local money market yesterday was as
destitute as ever of new features There
was a moderate call for accommodations
around per cent, and a liberal supply of
funds Bank cIearings were s2osl, 100 95, and
balances S4Ol, ,079 q.
There Is no longer doubt that the new
year will open on an easy market, and the
probability is that accumulations will con-
tinue until the spring trade sets in This
assurance should remove all apprehension
of any material monetary disturbance for a
long time to come.
All the foreign markets indicate greater
ease in money. and the prospect for the new
year is much better than for several years.
The Bank of France gained 2,400 0C0 francs
in gold last week.
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy, ranging from 21a to 3per cent: last loan,
g. closed offered at per cent. Prime mer-
