COUNTRY PRODUCE - (Jobbing Prices) -
Supply of nearby eggs is limited, but South
ern stock abounds. For the former demand
is active at outside quotations, while South
ern stock is quiet. Elgin creamery butter is
weaker and lower prices are expected by the
last of the week. Country butter is arriving
in larger quantities than the market has
capacity to absorb and the drift is toward
lower prices. Receipts of potatoes are
large, but choice stock is steady at quota
tions. There is a fair supply of Virginia and
Tennessee strawberries and outside price is
15c per quart. Over-ripe berries we're sold
to-day as low as &c to &c per quart. The
frost on Monday night gave an additional
chill to the prospects for O. good yield OF
home strawberries. In tropical fruit lines
oranges, lemons and pineappleS are dull
and bananas firm and active.

HOME SECURITIES.
Business Drops Off on Unfavorable Outside
News, but Values Not Affected For
the Worse-Everything Firm
and Some Stocks Higher


The disquieting nature of the news from
abroad yesterday had tendency to clip the
wings of speculation and hold things down
almost to the dead level of stagnation.
London was feverish and New York showed
O reactionary tendency. The Paris Bourse
was panicky owing to the Portuguese
affairs. -.
As Pittsburg depends more or less upon
the East for stimulus, and there being none
to spare, trading here was very light The
last call was cut short to allow brokers to
attend the meeting of the CHARTERS Gas
Company. Total sales were l6O shares, con-
tributed by Manchester Traction and
Pleasant Valley.
1t might be inferred from the above that
prices followed the trend of business, but
such was not the case. The fractions were
all stronger, the natural gassers held their
own, and Luster, Hidalgo and Standard
Underground Cable improved their position.
Manufacturers Gas was bid up q fraction.
In most cases final prices were the best of
the day.
There were no dealings in Electric here
and only moderate movement at Boston.
Here it opened at l5>s bid and closed at 1875
to 16, and closed at l5s4. At Boston it closed
offered at 15A. with 15T bid. The last sale
there was at l534. The difference between
the two points was too narrow for sealping.
In the still undigested condition of the cir
cular and the doubt in some quarters as to
the outcome of the reorganization plan, it is
considered somewhat risky to go short on
the stock. The bulk of the business is due
to covering in the effort to be on the safe
side: This disposition has been quickened
BY the advance since the circular was made
public.
A broker talked in this vein: "There was,
no doubt, an attempt made, in the early
stage of Mr. Westinghouse's negotiations,
on the part of certain parties identified with
rival companies to buy up all the common
stock and wipe out the Westinghouse Com
pany; but it miscarried. Having built up
the concern. and his business Reputation
being staked on its success, Mr.. Westing-
house rejected all overtures looking to ab-
sorption or amalgamation, and steadily Ia
character of the company and think he
has succeeded. He has saved this great in
terest to its patrons and to Pittsburg."
The work of turning in the common stock
will be slow, and it may take months to COM

NOTES FROM THE wHARvEs.
All the Pool Boats Bringing Down Coal for
the Next Rise.

All the Pool Boats Bringing Down Coal for
. the Next Rise.
THE II. X. Bedford will leave to-day at noon
for Parkersburg.
THE marks on the Monongahela wharf
show feet inches and stationary.
THE NJ. F. Allen has taken the place of the
Ben Hur in the Wheeling and Parkersburg
trade.
The pool boats are bringing down coal
enough to send out every boat in port with
tows on the next rise.
ALL the big packets are now tied up at
different ports along the river, the most of
them at Cincinnati and this city. The lower
river local packets are now finding it diff
cult to get through on account of the low
water.
A PROMINENT Parkersburg river man says
that he has never known navigation on the
Ohio to close as early as it has this year.
Large packets have been able to get through
much later, and none of them were COM
PEELED to go to the banks last year until the
middle of July.
WILLIAM GERDoN, of James A. Henderson
& Co., is mourning the loss of the alligator
which he received some time ago from the
South. Some person moved the frame suffi-
ciently to allow the alligator to get out and
o thorough search failed to disclose the
hiding place of the animal.
JUDGE AcHEsoN, in the United States Court
yesterday, handed down an opinion in the
case of L. NJ. Jenkins & Co. VS.. W. F. Reno,
ct al. The case is that of the collision of two
Venice was responsible and that the pilot
was culpably inattentive to what was going
on. A decree for the hbelants for sl92.s9 was
ordered.

Flax Mills at Duluth, MINI.

From the Duluth (Minn.) Tribune.
NJ. B. Faughner, OF Faughner &
Co., the largest manufacturers Of
fax fiber and excelsior in the United
States, was in Duluth yesterday
looking for a location for mills at
Duluth.
His fax fiber mills and excelsior
mills at Alma, Michigan, were burned
down several weeks ago, and he is de-
sirous Of building them up again in
Duluth. His excelsior mills at Alma
have not been large enough to sup
ply the demand made for fine and
rough packing purposes, and he
wishes to erect mills on larger scale
for the manufacture of fax fiber, ex.
celsior, inseed oil and cake.
He stated also that there is large
profit in extending the matter still
further so as to manufacture the f.
Der into fabrics and Irvine. When his
excelsior mills were burned he had
! orders ahead for fifty car loads, and

The Day We Celebrate.n

This week, the day we celebrate,
will be the anniversary of that ever
memorable one on which what is
now about the most prosperous,
smartest, liveliest, strongest and
most intelligent nation on earth was
born. We join pretty generally in
this celebration, and yet it, cannot
have the same significance to, every
body. The Irishman has, "a peculiar,
feeling for St. Patrick's Day; the
Norwegian is particularly enthused
