Second regiment of Uhlans was de-
stroyed by fire. 1t was only with the

arts Is being held, and in which are
many works of the great European
artists.

the downward drift of markets. Markets

CENTRAL AND PLEASANT VALLEY
SUBMIT TO CONCESSIONS.

The Decline Attributed to Misinformation-
Manchester Freed From Its Long-Stand-
ing Incubus-More Talk About Consoli-
dation-Electric and the Gassers-Cen-
trails Dividend.
There was no bad news to affect stocks
yesterday, but for all that the market was
dull and weak. Nearly all the changes were
concessions, though in no case amounting
to so much as point. There were no newly
discovered defects in the properties to ac-
count for the narrowness and dullness. AS
before stated, investors are pretty well
loaded, and are disposed to take some pro-
fits, if they are in the wood, before assuming
any further responsibility in this direction.
Thenew fractions maintained their usual
positions, but the old ones-especially Cen
tral and Pleasant Valley-were weak and
lower in the bidding. In regard to Pleasant
Valley leading broker said: "There is an
impression abroad that it will pass the July
dividend. am assured on good authority
that the dividend has been earned and will
be paid. The depression in the stock is due
market. The lot to be sold by John D.
Bailey next Tuesday is soaring some of the
traders, but it is understood it will be bought
in at about market figures"
The natural gassers we're featureless, ex-
cept Wheeling, which went off good frac-
tion at the close. Luster was practically un-
changed. Advices were received from the
mine that the mill was on the ground and
would be in operation within a month; 1t
was hard to get bids on Electric, which
opened and closed the same According to
the latest report about $4,000 shares of the
stock have been surrendered. Commercial

A full and final settlement of the Pitts
burg, Allegheny and Manchester litigation
was effected yesterday, and the suits stricken
from the docket The company will now
bend their energies to the improvement Of
the road and the completion of its extern
sions. Concerning rumors of street railway
consolidation, an officer of one of the COM
panies remarked: There is something of
the kind on foot but it is not so far-reaching
as supposed. 1 think anything that may
transpfre in this direction will be in the
nature of a working arrangement-an alli-
ance offensive and defensive rather than
absorption" Sales were:

STOCKS DULL BUT FIRM.
A MARKED UPWARD MOVEMENT IN
PRICES OF SHARES.

The Corn Roads Lead the Advance-In-
dustrials Make a Poorer Showing Sugar
and Whisky Trust Are Depressed
Railroad Bond Business Better.
NEW YORK, June 12.-The stock market TO-
day was the same dull and listless affair
that it has been for the last month.
The influence of the late crop report was
still seen, however, in the buying of Grang-
ers for Western account, and of Atchison by
Boston, though the firmness exhibited by
the list was more the result of the limited
offerings than of any marked demand for
anything on the list.
The opening of the market was made at
insignificant changes from last nights fig
ures, but the flrmness of yesterday soon
became again apparent and a few large frac-
tional gains were scored in the active stocks
while the general list was almost entirely
neglected and showed no tendency in either
direction. OF the Industrials, Sugar was let
off ~ per cent, and Chicago Gas lS, for ap-
parent reason, while the reported establish
ment of new distillery again served to de-
press Whisky Trust, and it lost 11S.
The early gains among the leading railroad
shares, which included st. Paul, Atchison,
Rock Island, Burlington, Louisville and
Union Pacific, amounted to large fractions,
which, in the cases of Rock Island and
Union Pacific, were increased to l per cent.
The Gould stocks came to the front in the
last hour, and all made material gain,
while Denver and Rio Grande preferred
dropped away ~ per cent at the same time.
The close was dull but strong at the best
prices of the day. The final changes are
almost all in the direction of higher prices
among the railroad stocks, and Rock island
is up 11, Burlington and Northwestern per
cent each, while Sugar is OFF IL and Whisky
1per cent
The railroad bond market, however, caught
little of the strength of the share list and
with slight increase in business the firm
tone was maintained throughout the day,
with the result of placing many issues on q
somewhat higher level. No material ad-
vance was made, however, and the trading

Wheat Opens in a Demoralized Condition,
but Rallies Later - Corn Active but
weak-Oats in State Still worse-Pro-
visions Little Better and Fluctuating.
CHICAGO, June 12.-The markets all looked
very sick and ripe for another big slump at
the opening this morning. Thereafter there
was change of feeling and rally all along
the line, the result being q reaction which
brought grains up to about the closing prices
of yesterday, and carried provisions to a
material advance.
There was a large and excited trade in
wheat near the opening, but later business
became more quiet. There was not much in
the way of news to-day, the fine weather in
this country and weaker cables accounting
for the break in prices. Considerable "long''
wheat was sold out, holders under the exist
ing conditions having become tired of hold
ing. The heavy bear traders took advant-
tage OF the situation and covered freely. At
the same time it was claimed that there was
some investment buying at the decline, and
after the early break the feeling was de-
cidedly stronger. The market gained addi-
tional strength, and shorts began to cover,
some to secure profits on sales made some
days ago, and some to stop losses on sales
made this morning.
July opened at 951G@953Sc, broke to &c. raj
lied to and hung around in the neighbor-
953sc, rallied to 961Sc, and closed at 96c.
Corn was active but very weak, and at one
time seemed on the verge of panic. Every
body was struggling to sell, and seemingly
regardless of price. Long corn went over
freely for both local and country account,
and short selling was urgent. Fine weather,
indications of a heavy increase in receipts,
weak ables and the weakness in the other
pits proved very demoralizing. July started
at 5414@54Nc, broke almost Immediately to
5S34c, reacted to 5i14c, dropped to 533sc, re-
covered to a5sc, fuetuated narrowly for q
time, and then, on reports of an active in
quiry at New York, and in sympathy with
the stronger tone in wheat, rallied sharply
to 5515c, and closed shade lower.
Oats were about the weakest thing on the
list. The trade seemed utterly demoral-
lied, and July was disposed of around the
opening at between 393sc and 4O1%c. After
the opening furry the market became rather
quiet and steady around 4016640}zc, until the
bulge in corn and wheat, when an advance
to 41c took place.
Provisions proved very weak, pork taking
the lead in the downward movement. There
were no new developments of bearish news,
but the weakness in other speculative pits
was sufficient. Fluctuations were governed
largely by those in corn. September pork
opened at $40 20, sold off to 50 971%, then, with
minor fluctuations, rallied to $40 81 and
closed at that making q gain over yester-
days close of 20c. Lard gained &c and ribs
15c.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as
corrected by John NJ. Oakley & Co., As Sixth

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
PHILADELPHIA, June l2.-There is better
feeling existing in the local iron market
than has been experienced for months past,
and while prices have made no material ad-
vance, they are undeniably firmer and a lit
tie more activity will start them on their up
ward course. While the pig iron market
cannot be said to be buoyant, it is neverthe-
less strong and orders are being placed with
a rapidity that gives additional brightness
TO the encouraging outlook. These orders,
however, are generally for small lots. There
is scarcity for favorite brands and a few
sales are reported as having been made at
SIS 2j for choice No. l. Standard qualities
will readily bring SE 75@1S 90. These quota

as to brand, point of delivery ETC. Steel
billets is the only line whirh cannot be
called firmer, and its market Is unsettled and
lower.
Steel rails continue very firm, and while
there is no noticeable increase in business,
prospects are bright and promising. Bar
iron mills are not pressed with business. yet
they are more active than for some time
past. There is also less cutting than for
merly, an6 in consequence slightly better
prices prevail. The improvement is not gen.
eral enough, however, to be quotable, and
these are about the ruling figures, allowing
a slight shading on large orders: Best re-
fined bars, L75@LS5c, and L70@l.75c, t. o. b.
cars at country mills for good iron. In
structural material the improvement is
slow, and, while mills are fairly supplied
with small orders, no very great amount of
business is expected until after the close of
the summer season. We quote these prices

OFFICE OF PITTsBURG DISPATCH,


COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-Prod-
uce commission men report heavy losses
from cases of eggs which lack the required
80 dozen. Not unfrequently the bottom
layer of the case will be empty, which means
a shortage of three dozen eggs. Said lead
ing dealer to-day: "In ten-case lots of Ohio
river eggs there is an average shortage Of
seven dozen. Those we receive by the rail
roads have their full quota, but river eggs
are seldom up to the stipulated quantity
Shippers usually claim that the loss occurs
on the boats, and boatmen claim that the
stealage is by the peddlers who gather up
the eggs from farmers. One thing is sure,
that the commission men are subjected to
heavy losses, and there seems TO De no re-
dress" The situation in general produce
lines is practically the same as at last re-
port. A good Fridays trade Is reported by
commission men.
