COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing Prices-The
egg market is u shade stronger, under the
influence of cold weather. There we're sales
on Friday as low as lac per dozen. There
were no sales on Saturday below H1ac per
dozen. The supply of creamery butter in
this market Is very limited, and though
prices are off since the beginning of the
week, 1t Is next to impossible to meet orders.
heavy this week as last but markets are still
quiet. Tropical fruits are very firm at prices
quoted and all signs point to higher prices.
The rough, cold weather of the past few
days has proved an unfavorable factor in
the general produce trade. Vegetables and
apples are dull and slow at quotations.

In Footwear Lines.
The Boston Herald has this to say of the
situation and outlook of the boot and shoe
market:
There is a good trade in the boot and
shoe market, but it is still more in the way
OF special lines and special features than in
the regular, old styles of goods. The number
of buyers that have been here in person of
late is beginning to thin out 1t is true but
these buyers have left a good volume of
orders, especially for the special goods men
toned above. These goods are generally
protected through trade mark, and also
through trade mark on the special leather
of which they are made, so that the buyer
of them feels that he has something that is
reliable, and something that the manufact-
urer will stand behind. 1t is fact that buy
ers are dropping Off this season, more than
ever before, goods that they are not entirely
certain about, and giving bigger orders for
goods that are certain. For this reason some
lines OF goods have been badly neglected
this spring, and goods of which better things
were expected.
But the volume of trade, as a whole, is
proving quite satisfactory, as compared with
the outlook a few weeks ago. Prominent
manufacturing concerns and some of the
concerns controlling lines of special goods,
here and had begun to take orders, and the
question with some of the sellers of goods
has been as to how to serve so many Gus
toners all at once. But part of this rush
is over, and generally it is over to the ad-
vantage OF the best concerns

HOME SECURITIES AND CASH,
Features of the Week on the Local Stock
Exchange.


While the stock market was interesting
during the week, it was neither so active
nor so strong as when the bulge was in its
prime. 1t was strong and weak by turns,
iuctuating as the bulging element was
urgent or apathetic. Offerings were not
urgent, which impaired one element of
strength which the bears could not entirely
counteract. This was especially marked in
the street railway group. All of the impor-
tant price changes were gains. except in the
case of switch and signal. 1t was feebly
supported and sustained serious reverse.
Closing prices of Saturday, as compared
with those of a week ago have these
changes: CHARTERS gas rose 81, Central Trac-
tion u, Pleasant Valley "a. Luster g Elec-
trio l, underground cable 81. Philadelphia
signal s19z, airbrake q. Bank shares were
strong, and in a few instances higher. Con-
s:deraPIe s.do m Exchange stock was picked mp at at
boDds hes Tsree was drdegnds gHHa @eFs an
nounced, those of the CHARTERS Gas.
Pipeage and Airbrake Companies, which
should act as a breakwater to the bearish
tide: Pipeage was stronger in the afternoon
on the announcement of the dividend.
Sales Saturday were 342 shares, $l1,
bonds and $3.50 Electric scrip, in detail as
follows: $1,000 Birmingham bonds at 1OlH.
50 Duquesne Traction at 25h, 80 at 25ss, $3.50
Electric scrip at 80 2 Philadelphia Gas at
1Sl4, 10 at 1875. 10 Underground Cable at "a, 80
Pleasant Valley at 25, 80 Pipeage at 1lA. 60
Swltcn ana signal at ID, W Eleceflc at l|E;
Sales for the week were 5,l06 shares and
$4,000 bonds. Birmingham led with 1916
shares, followed by DuQuesne with 706.
Closing quotations on the unlisted trac-
tions: Birmingham, 274 bid, offered at Is;
Duquesne, 25I bid. offered at 25%. Manches-
ter was passed. The finish, although not the
best, was generally at fractional recoveries
from the lowest level of the week.
Borrowers made but little impression
upon the piled up wealth in city banks the
past week. A few banks reported a slightly
louder call, but not enough to count for
much, and the general result WAS unSatis-
factory. The nominal rate was per cent.
Some shading was reported. The Clearing
House statement follows:

OFFICE OF THE DISPATCH,
PITrsBURG, SATURDAY, March 49, 1892.
The March blizzard which has been get
ting in its work for the past few days has
had an unfavorable effect on trade in most
lines. Produce commission merchants report
a very quiet week. Not for many years have
vegetables been as low and dull at this
season of the year. Elgin creamery butter
is off 1c per pound, as compared with last
weeks prices, but supply is SO light in this
market that retailers are enabled to hold
their stock at last weeks prices.
In the fore part of the week eggs were
drug, but In the past day or two demand has
caught up to supply, and markets have
gained in firmness. The Improvement is no
doubt due to the cold wave, and a day or
two of soft weather will bring prices down.

week new maple syrup was flowing so
freely in this direction that prices were
A sale was reported as low as zoe per gallon.
The cold wave has checked the flow of sap,
and receipts have very much declined the
past few days. As result markets have

Cereals and Provisions.
Receipts ofgrain and hay were somewhat
heavier this week than last and the situa.
tion in the main has been favorable to buy
ers, though there has been little change in
the price list. Ear corn is firmer, and hay
is higher than 1t was week ago. Wheat
and oats are barely steady. The latter can
hardly yield any profit to the dealer at pres
ent prices at sources of supply.
1t will be seen by reference to home mar
ket column that provisions are the same in
price as week ago. According to reports
from live stock centers the receipts of hogs
for March have been SOC, 600 head less than for
the same period last year. Notwithstanding
reduced receipts there is such a conservative
feeling among dealers that it is impossible
thus far to advance prices of products, which
are relatively much lower than hogs 1t Is
only question of short time when pro-
visions must ascend to a higher level.
Hides and Calfskins.
Heavy steer hides are shade lower than
they were a week ago, and slow at the de-
cline Bluffs are fairly steady, and calf and
sheep skins are firm. notwithstanding that
receipts are steadily on the increase. Fol-
lowing are prices paid by dealers and tan

Provisions.

At the Saturday meeting of the Pittsburg
packers, last weeks prices of hog products
were reaffirmed and will therefore hold good
for another week. Receipts of hogs at all
live stock centers have been light of late as
compared with year ago. Packers look for
better prices at an early day, as hogs are
now relatively higher than products.
