PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, FRIDAY, . JAKUABT 4, 4889. LOCAL LITE STOCK. Week's Transactions at East Liberty live Stock Yards. LIGHT FAT CATTLE ARE IN DEMAND light Hon of Boss, Markets are ActiTe for Light Weights. SHEEP ASD LAMBS A SHADE HIGHEE Office of The Pittsburg: Dispatch, Thursday, January 3, 1SS9. ( Cattle markets hare been unusually draggy all the week. Supplies have not been lare, but buyers are scarce. The quality of cattle received this week has been above the average of receipts for sev eral weeks past. "While no strictly primes were received, there were scarcely any of the low trades, 'which had so great a run last month. Good shipping cattle went begging for cus tomers, and a number of loads were shipped through in first hands. For this class prices ruled lower than last week. The only thing active and firm in the cattle line was light fat stock. It will be seen by the accompanying report that there has been an increase of local re ceipts and sales of cattle of 230 head over last week. But still the number falls below that of two weeks ago, &y0 bead, and below the average for November of about 1.500 head. Last week the local cattle trade touched its lowest, anu now the tide has turned. Poultry has been so thoroughly cleaned up that from now on the demand for old stai'le meats will, no doubt, grow stronger from week to week. Bv reference to an October weekly report of transactions at the Libert) yards it is discov ered that in a single week the local cattle sales footed up 3,560 head. With a footing last week of 1,260 and this week of L.4S0 head it will be seen that there has been a great falling off in local cattle trade. HOGS. The run of hogs has been light all the week, and supply has been hardly up to demand. Prices on lightweights are higher than a week ago. This grade is quoted to day at S5 bO&o.O, while heavy bogs are quoted at 55 405 50. The abundance of corn in the land can read ily be discovered in the hog pens. Western farmers are evidently of the opinion that they can get more for their corn by putting all the weight possible into bogs. There has probably never becu a season when there was a heavier average of hogs than this. A leading stock hrm sent out the following statement to customers to-day: "Hogs weighing over 300 pounds are not wanted. Light grades are selling higher than for several weeks. We do not think present prices will hold up with anything like a heavy run." Another dealer said: "I believe that the good pncesof the past few days w ill bnnga heavy run of hogs before the week is out." In this ei en t prices are most certain to drop, as they are now relatively higher here than in Chicago. With verv light receipts of sheep an advance of 15 to 20 cents per hundred pounds is re ported on ah grades. SHEEI" ASD LAMBS. Choice sheep and Iambs have been so scarce of late that they rind ready sale at outside quotations. Thelower grades Lave been more active this week than for some weeks past. The explanation of this is furnished by very light receipts. following is tne report oi transactions at tne East Liberty jards for the week: 1IECEIITS. CATTLE. HOGS. SHEEP Thro'. Local.

A Spnrt in Wheat Caused by Rumored Bay Ine for'Export Corn and Oats Easy to Weak Pork and Lard Active and Un settled. Chicago There were no new develop ments to-day, and the market was again gov erned principally by local influences. Early in the session the feeling was weak, with the opening Jlc lower than closing figures of j esterday, which decline was followed by Jfc further reduction. The decline was due to a continuation of yesterday's weakness, fair sell ing orders being on the market at the start and no special demand. It evidently was a realiz ing market, but the decline brought out fair buying, and 3c advance from inside figures was established. The market fluctuated for some time within c range, and finally took anothersudden advance of JJe, reachnga point, 1C above the inside figures of the day. This advance was attributed to a rumor that ex porters were buying at the seaboard. Shorts bought quite freely, and it was also thought likely that other large traders had taken on some long wheat. But the feeling was unset tled, and options differ widelv. The advance did not bold, and prices receded Jc but again became stronger, advancing c. and the market closed about Jc higher than j esterday. Corn was moderately active and the feeling developed was easier. Fluctuations were gov erned to a great extent by local influences. Opening sales were a shade loner than the closing quotations of yesterday, after which the market ruled easier, declining Jc, rallied some and closed c to o lower than yester day. The weakness developed in oats yeste; day was continued, and a lower range of prices established. The weakness and decline in grains produced a depressed feeling among longs, w ho unloaded freel v. Shorts were the principal buyer, and although covered fair lines prices declined KSJo ou May. Toward the close the buyers took nold with more liber ality and prices rallied c and the market closed steady. The near deliveries were quiet and weaker and KSic lower. Trading was quite active in mess pork and prices fluctuated considerably within a moderate range. Prices opened fully 1012Xc under the closing figures of yesterday, and a further reduction of 17J 20c was submitted to. Later the feciing was steadier and prices rallied 1015c, and the mar ket closed quiet. A tairly active trade was re ported in lard, and the feciing was somewhat unsettled. Opening Eales were made at 10 12c decline on yesterday's figures, and a further reduction of 2K5c was submitted to. The market ruled steady to-day. The market ruled steadier toward the close and prices ral lied 2J5c, but closed rather quiet. Rather less was doing in short rib sides to-day.

The extent of the cxportations at the Stock Exchange yesterday will be understood when it is stated that 8S7 shares, running from Phila delphia Gas to Columbia Oil, changed hands during the sales.

The three strongest securitieswere Phila delphia Gas, Chartiers' Valley Gas and Wheel ing Gas. Invfact, the gases had the day pretty much to themselves. They were alfstrong, with more buyers than sellers, if anything. The spirit of the market is shown in the following quotations: Honifiiro. ATTEBSOOK. Bid. Asked. STOCKS. Kid.

While there was no special excitement at the Oil Exchange yesterday, the proceedings were by no means tame The influences were all bearish.

Heavy selling told from the start. The opening price, 88Jgc was the highest. From that time on the course was downward, with a few brief halts, to give the bulls a chance, but they were unable to stem the tide, and 60on abandoned tbe contest, Arthur Lowry, Sproul fc Lawrence and McKee were tho principal sellers here Prices ranged: Opening, 88Jc; highest. 88c: lowest, 86c: closed, S7Je Carrjing rates were higher, being 25c here, and 35c in New York, and Oil City rehned dropped one-tenth in New York.

STREET GOSSIP. Ownees of land in the Wilkinsbnrg gas belt are coming down a little in their demands. Ev erybody is waiting for another strike. A bather unusual feature of real estate transactions is the amount of spot cash paid. Nearly every purchase is paid for when the deed Is delivered. No one objects to this. HiGn prices of property in the East End are driving people of small means down the Fort Wayno road as far as Sewickley. Real estate men expect a boom in that direction this'year. Among dividends announced are: Peoples' National, 3 per cent, semi-annual; farmers' Deposit National, 4 per cent, quarterly; Alle gheny National, 3 per cent, semi-annual: Me chanics' National, 5 per cent, semi-annual; Commercial National, 2 per cent, semi-annual; Merchants and Manufacturers' National, 2K per cent semi-annual; City Savings Bank, i per cent, semi-annual: Freehold Bank, 2 per cent, semi-annual; Real Estate Loan and Trust Company, Allegheny, 3 per cent, semi-annual; Westinghouse Airbrake Company, 4 per cent, quarterly; Allegheny County Light Comoany, 3 per cent, semi-annual; Allegheny Bridge Company. $2 a share. BEAR TACTICS SUCCESSFUL. Stocks Loso Their Grip and Close Lower Bonds Rather Sbaky. New York. January 3. The stock market was dull but feverish and weak to-day for everything except the Coal stocks, though the Grangers were the only ones outside of New England which showed any decided weakness. Money worked easier to-day, the highest rate being 6 per cent here, while in London it was again down to 33& This, however, was tho only item of new s of a character to encourage the bulls, while Chicago resumed its old tac tics and sent a batch of telegrams and rumors, all of which were of a depressing nature. First prices were generally slight fractions below the final figures of yesterday, but there was some demand for stocks in the early trading, and Jersey Central developing marked strength prices moved up in sympathy all around, though for small fractions only, with the one exception noted. Later, however, tho upward movement came to an end, and the Grangers became the markforthebearattacks. The entire list yielded with them, and before noon all the early gains were wiped out. The weakness continued and everything retired to below the opening figures, no change occur ring until well into the afternoon, when Jersey Central again made a spurt, and carried the rest of tbe list up a, small fraction. The movement was soon over, and the market finally closed quiet and fairly steady, generally at fractional declines. New England came to the front late in the day, and slowly yielded until Us loss reached 1 per cent, though noth ing new upon it was known to the street. There was a larger and better distributed business in railroad bonds to-day than has been seen for some time past, the eales of all issues aggregating $1,277,000, but while some of the list showed animation, there was no particular activity anywhere The tone of the dealings, however, was rather heavy throughout the en tire day, and the final changes are generally in the direction of lower figures, though import ant dealings aro few in number.

The afternoon market was inactive and rather steady, with an occasional weak spot like Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, or New York and New England, for instance.

GENERAL GROCERIES ARE UNCHANGED Office of the Pittsbuko Dispatch, ) Thursday. January 3, 1S89. Country Produce Jobbins Prices. Produce commission men have little encour aging to report in their line. Trade movements in country produce have not started out with much briskness for the new year. There is, however, an abiding faith in dealers that it can not be long until the situation will change for the better. And so they bide their time. There is a perceptible improvement in demand for eggs, but no change m prices. Poultry con tinues scarce and firm. Elgin creamery butter is reported more active at headquarters. The only hope of an early improvement in produce trade is in the speedy arrival of a good old fashioned blizzard from Manitoba.

The hoped for activity of the new year has not yet ma terialized. The general view of dealers, how ever, is that another week will bring new life to trade. Wheat has again passed below the dollar line at gram centers. City millers re port an improved demand for flour. Tim Grain Exchange to-day adopted a resolution instruct ing tbe Committee on Inspection to establish grades on upland prairie hay. as not a little trouble has recently arisen between seller and bu j er on the question of grade. The week's receipts of gram and bay promise at this date to be unusually large. The totals for last week were 163 cars. Receipts this week have been 168 cars, with two days still to hear from.
