Oakland Values Stiffening.

As showing how the value of ground in the
Oakland district is improving, it may be noted
that a sale of vacant property on Ward street
has lately be en- made at over $40 per front foot.
The transaction is not yet In shape to give par
tic ulars. Good judges think that this is still a
low price, considering that on Boquet street,
which is parallel to Ward, and but few hum
dr ed feet distant, vacant ground is in demand
at SlO0 per foot front. That section of the city
is SO rapidly building up that sites are already
hard to find.

Noted Still Continues.

fleet of the Labor Trouble and Shut
down in the Mahoning Valley
EPORTS FROM THE LEADING CENTERS

The improvement in tone noted week
4Co still continues, and the best prices Of the
season have been realized on raw irons the
past week. The upward turn is no doubt
largely due to the shut down of furnaces in
he Mahoning and Shenango Valleys, to-
rether with labor troubles in the coke
regions.
A representative of one of the leading
furnaces in the Conuellsville coke region
said, day or two, that the furnace he repre-
sented was about to bank up, owing to the
difficulty of securing coke. No doubt
MANY others contemplate taking the same
steps unless the labor troubles are soon
adjusted In case of settlement with
strikers, prices would soon graviUate back to
the old level. AS things now are prices are
steadily moving up and will continue to do so
as stocks decline.
The situation grows steadily in favor OF the
holder Of raw irons. and, though buyers do not
seem inclined to buy far ahead in the present
uncertain condition OF markets their necessi-
ties force them to pay the advanced rates for
immediate wants, A settlement OF labor
troubles in the coke regions, would, without
doubt Immediately change the whole aspect
of affairs. For this manufacturers of finished
products devoutly pray. The demand for man.

On a Sound Basis.

That business in nearly all lines is in
healthy condition, that merchandise is moving
freely, that the produces of the mills and
factories find ready markets, that money is
easy and well distributed, that the people are
hopeful and courageous, shows that the busi-
ness fabric of the country, and of Pittsburg in
particular, rests upon soild basis. This is the
dullest season of the year. but the volume of
trade is large and steadily growing. 1t is only
by comparison with last year, which was un-
precedentedly active, that sign OF dullness
can be discerned. There is more doing than at
the same time in 1889. There is no deep-seated
trouble in the path of progress. Patience and
pluck will bring things around all right.

Houses in Blocks.

The feature of the building trade this year,
as disclosed by investigation, will be small
houses, tine demand for which is SO great as to
insure the erection of a large number. As
business depends upon population, the first
duty is to house the people and put them in
the position of consumers. There may be
fewer business houses put up than last year,
but the number of dwellings is likely to be as
great. From reliable sources it is learned that
the block system will be employed here this
year a larger scale than ever before. I'm
mense blocks of houses are familiar features
in Philadelphia, Chicago and other cities, but
have not been attempted to any great extent
in Pittsburg. Houses can be put up in this
way great saving of money, and this should
be sufficient to recommend them.

Lord Salisbury had long interview

lands demands. The result was that
the naval attache of the French embassy
was dispatched to Paris to lay before M.
Ribot, the French minister of foreign

Hand delegation. Lord Salisbury awaits
the decision Of the French foreign Of

"If Lord Salisbury persists in pushing
