AN UNUSUAL VOLUME OF BUSINESS
AT TUE MIDDAY CALL.

The Buyer Is Evidently Administrations
Still Interesting Features - Numerous
Ups and Downs, but None of Them of
Much Significance-Sales and Figures.

the second call yesterday, 900 shares chang
ing hands Nothing was done at the first
call, and but little at the second. Total
sales were 1000 shares
The fractions were interesting. Central,
Pittsburg and Citizens advanced. Pleasant
Valley was steady. The unlisted members
of the group maintained theiE: advanced
position. At the afternoon board 1sA was
bid for Birmingham and 1sL for Duquesne.
There was sale of the latter at 1873. and
this was bid late in the afternoon for more.
Birmingham bonds were salable at 9479.
The agreement finally consummated be-
tween the Pittsburg and Duquesne will no
doubt inspire more confidence in their secu-
rites and lead to more active trading.
There was no pressure for Philadelphia
Gas and it declined q fraction. LuSter was
again on its mettle and improved its posi-
tiOn. Peoples Pfpeage sustained backSet
for NO special reason, so far as known. A
broker bought it at and Immediately sold

COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-
The cold snap has been in measure help
full to business in this line, but with the ex-
ceptions of game and poultry there has
been no advance in prices. Game is
especially firm the past day or two. Poultry
is nominally unchanged, but markets are
more active the past few days. Country
butter is in supply beyond demand, and
only fancy stock is wanted. The average
consumer seems to prefer butterine to but
ter that is not of the very best quality.
Fresh eggs are firm at quotations, and
storage stock is rather quiet. Apples and
potatoes go slow at prices quoted. Oranges
are dull and bananas firm.

Hides and TaIlow.

The market for buff hides is scarcely as
strong as it was week ago. There was
then general expectation by dealers of an
advance. This expectation seems to have
been premature, and markets are quiet at
old prices. Desirable grades of hides are
near the end of their season, and tanners
are well stocked up in anticipation of the
advent of long-haired stock. Heavy steers
are quiet at quotations. Green calfskinS
are f1rmer than they were a week ago, and
some dealers report slight advance. Pelts
are promptly taken at prices quoted. A
Detroit buyer was in our city this week
gathering in all available stock in this line.
Tallow is moving freely and prices are firm.
which dealers and tanners pay for stock de-
liyered here.
