HOGS EALLT FE01I MOXDATS BREAK OFFICE OP THE PlTTBUItQ DlSIA TCH, 1 ED esd ay, January SL 18S9. J Cattle receipts on Monday varied very little from the previous Monday, the total being 7j cars. The grade of those received this week showed a slight improvement on receipts for several weeks past. While there were a few last wcet of a hicher grade than any received this week, there were also more of the common and low Erado stock The majority of the cattle which showed np this weeK ha o been fair to good batcher stock ranging from 1.2 0 to 1,400 pounds Very few light butcher cattle were among the supplies. Good butcher stock rules firm at from o to loo above rates of las,twcck. The bet pneesob tamed. so far as could be learned, w ere SI To to 4f0 Heavy grades were slow at last week's prices. Export demand has almost ceaed,and buyers for heavy cattle h n e been cry scarce for a few weeks past. The trade now i almost cn tnelj iwth batchers and countrj people. ith light demaud lor export cattle risks of buyers aie big, and they arc not disposed to invest, ex cept on large concessions. KO BEMAJ.-D TOE EXTORT CATTLE. A leading stockman thus puts the case, "Our foreign bound steamers at this time of the year are generally loaded with more profitable freight than livestock. This is the time for heavy cotton shipine-its. At any rate there is no lorger any demand for export cattle. This is alw.is tne situation from the holidays till spring Toward spring I expect to see good butcher cattlt nearly as high in pnee as export rattle The sappl of cattle wanted by butch ers is hardl up to demands, and this is likely to be the situation for a couple of months yet. On the other hand, judging from pist experi ence we w ill have more heavy cattle lietuetn now and spring than the trade here demands." There were no cattle left over to-da as was the case last week. A few loads could have been sold yesterday, after supplies were cleaned np, and this at an advance on Mon day's rates. SHEEP ASD LAMBS. Supplies of sheep at the beginning of the week ere about double thoe cf the week be fore, the total being 2a cars against 12 cars each for the two previous week. Notwith standing this largo increase in supplies, mar kets are active and strong at last week's prices. The market for sheep and lambs has been bet ter thi week than for a niontn past. Stock was all cleaned upjeterdayandpnces ruled firm until the last bunch was gobbled np Good sheep in Xew York markets brought Cc je-terday: and choice lambs uould have shaved Tc ver) closely at Liberty for the last day or two, if they had appeared. A verj large run of hogs on Monday broke markets in the early part of the day In the afternoon of that da, after word had come from Buffalo and other points and holders had time to "view the landscape o'er," markets rallied and have been grow ing stronger up to day, w ben prices are nearly where they were on Saturday. Receipts to-day at Chicago were 21000 head and prices there are 5c lower than yesterday. At Eat Libert prices are stcidj at rates 13 to 20c above thee which ruled "on Monday morning. The uemand for ligbt-w eight hogs is fitill better than for heavy-weights, with prices in favor of the former. SIcCall & Co.'s Report. McCall A.

Operators at Sea Id Record to the Outcome of Wheat Another Drop Corn and Oats Quiet nnd Easy Fork Stilt Unsettled Lard Stendr. Chicago Only a moderate aggregate business was transacted in wheat, and at times the market was very dull. Operators lire just as much at sea which course to pursue as they have been. The early feeling was weak, and prices declined Jele from opening figures. The offerings were fair, and it was claimed that possibly some long wheat was sold, the incent ive for selling being the fall of snow which ex tended over some portions of the winter wheat conntry. At the decline there was a good de mand, apparently a great many resting orders being on the market at SI 04 for May, and under steady buying prices were advanced c The firmness was partially attributed to bullish news from the Northwest. The market ruled weak, the last half of the session, and the clos ing was about Jc lower than for jest erday. A quiet, easy feeling prevailed in corn all day, trading as only moderate and fluctuations narrow Prices wire governed laigeh by local Influences. Opening hales were a trifle below the closing quotations of yesterdav with offer ings very liberal and the market declined He, rallied some and closed K2bC lower than j es terday. A quiet and steady feeling prevailed in oats. Buvers were slow to take hold, but, there being 110 particular pressure to sell earlj and several heavy traders offering lanre lots quite free! v, prices were forced down c from out6ide fig ures and the market closed easj. A fairly active trade was leported in mess pork, but the feeling was somewhat unsettled, and prices fluctuated considerably within a moderate range. Opening sales were made at 2Kc advance on yesterdaj'.s closing figures, but a weak feeling was soon developed, and a re duction In prices of 20322Jc was submitted to. Later prices rallied 2J5c, and the market closed steady. There was a moderate business in lard and the leeling was easier. Prices gradually de clined 1012c on the whole range, but rallied rt.glitly near the close and ruled comparatively Steady. Trading was only fair in short ribs, and the feeling was easier. Prices declined 7Qi0c and the market closed quiet at medium figures. The leading futures ranged as follows. Wiieat No. 2.

Chaeleston, "Vr. Ta., January 9. In the Circuit Court this morning Judge Guthrie quashed the rule awarded against the County Court to show cause why it should not bo fined and attached for contempt in for warding the cirtificates of elections in this county for Governor and Congress in violation of an injunction granted by Judge McGmnis. of the Cabell Circuit Court. It also dismissed the bdl of injunction and the certiorari hereto fore awarded at the instance of Judge Flem ing and Mr. Alderson. Tins is a complete victory for the Republi cins and gives Gofl and Mc'Ginms a clear plur ality in the face of the returns for Governor and Congress. The case will probably be taken to the Supremo Court. Bounced far Kot Resigning, Washington, Jauuary 9. Lewis McMnllen, Appraiser at New York, was requested to re- Eign, but lefuscd to do so.

Storm and Disaster Combine to Paralyze Business at the Exchange. PISS AYENUE GS0DSD JUMPS SKYWARD Patrick Henry's estimate of the value of experience is good enough in its way, but too much reliance on the past sometimes leads to impotent results. In all business calculations the future should be allowed to play an important part, as its worth as a factor in meeting unexpected crises and guarding against possible reverses is too ap parent to be ignored. It is not questioned that the nast year was one of almost unexampled prosperity in all of the activities of life. So much is certain. But what of the year that has just made its bow and taken'its place upon the stage of action? "Will it witness a continuance of the era ot good times, or will it be charac terized by disaster? A brief look ahead may help to solve these questions. From data on file at Dun's Commercial Agency.on Wood street, it can be stated with a reasonable degree of certainty that the present year will be even more prosperous than its pre decessor. Of course contingencies aro not taken into the calculation. Business every where appears to bo on a suro footing. There are fewer embarrassments than usual. There is an abundance of money for all legitimate purposes. The speculative power is subsiding. Railroad affairs are being brought under the control of law. Tho fight against trusts and combines is making that species of monopoly odious. New enterprises are starting up and old ones reviving in all parts of the country. Several important manufacturing concerns in the East that had been idle for years aro in full operation. Another element that has an important bear ing upon the business of the new year should not be overlooked. Merchants and manu facturers consider that the tariff question was definitely settled at the recent election. They think the protective principle is no longer in peril. This gives confidence that was lacking I in lhSs, and will result in the investment of I millions in the diversified interests of tho conntry, which, if the result of the election had been in favor of low tariff, would be tied up or merely placed as an investment When confidence and money go hand in hand there is no limit to possibilities. That is what they aro doing. The conjunction gives assurance of a busy and prosperous year. P.E0EE THE EEC0ED. Otic of the Dullest Days Ever Known at tho Stock Exchange.

The Clearing House report yesterday showed a larger aggregate of transactions than on the previous day, the exchanges running above $2,000,000. The figures are: Exchanges, $2,013, Wl 3. and the balances S330.410 5S. When it is considered that these totals represent very little of the speculative element, being neirly altogether the results of legitimate enterprise, the situation assumes an importance and takes on an aspect of hopefulness that are liable to be overlooked by tho casual observer. The deeper Pittsburg business is probed the more substantial it appears. There was no special demand for money other than to meet tho usual requirements. Counter business was moderately active. Rates ruled at5G. The annual elections being over, busi ness will now settle down without further in terruption, unless the unexpected should happen.

Oil opened He higher yesterday than the closing price of the day before, but the market soon broke, and with the exception of a few spasmodic rallies, which Eoon subsided, there was no improvement The closo was weak. The ruling figures were: Opened. S6c; high est, SOJic: lowest, SOJic; closed, ti0Jc. It was a hucksters' market from first to last 1 he principal trouble in oil is the 5,000, 000 barrels, known as producers' oil, set apart by the Standard at the beginning of the shut down movement. This is a constant menace to the market, causing professionals to move cau tiously and keeping outsiders out. It could bo used at any time with disastrous effect. There was no field news worth mentioning. London and New York prices for refined were unchanged. Carrying rates were the same as before noted. Tuesday's clearings wore 1,846, 000 barrels. A. B.

Accident and Alarm Take tho Life Out of Business. Several causes conspired to restrict business in oil and stocks yesterday, the first and great est being the awful disaster on Wood street. When the news reached the Exchange there was a stampede for tho scene of the accident. The few who remained had no heart for bus iness. Even Captain Barbour's persuasive elo quence failed to arouse them to action. Another cause of the dullness was tho havoc wrought with the wires and tickers by tho storm. Communication with the East and with Oil City was practically cut off. What little news that did come over the wires was spas modic and unreliable. Captain Barbour said that before the first call ho felt it in bis bones it would be a bad day, and the result showed that he was right. (The afternoon call was over in about ten min utes. Thero n ere a few offers, but not a single sale. The room was deserted in a few minutes after the hammer fell. ROW'S TniS FOR UIGII ? Twelve Hundred Dollars Per Foot Paid for Groand on Pcnn Avcnne.

A BLOW AT TRUSTS. They Glvo Wny Cndor Judge Barrett's Swcrplna Decision Bonds Film. New Yore, January 9. Tho waiting for the final outcome of the conferences between the bankers and the President keeps all new ven tures in the background. London was a buyer of securities at the opening this morning, but outside interests were almost entirely unrepre sented, and tho improvement mado by the for eign purchases was soon neutralized by the selling of the local operators. Missouri Pacific and Lackawanna were tho first to show any marked improvement, but while the former continued strong, the latter gave way in tho nnai rise to isevr England. 1 no stocK dividend declared upon Louisville and Nashville had no effect upon the stock, but the decision of Judge Barrett, dissolving the North Iliver Sugar Re fining Company, was looked upon as a blow at trusts, and Cotton Oil, after rising over a point, lost all the advance. Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western pre ferred sold down 2 per cent from last even ing's price, but recovered all but 1 per cent for no apparent reason but that the movements in tho rest of the list were small and unimportant. In the last hour there was a renewal of tho buying and everything moved up, with Mis bouri Pacific aud New England specially activo and strong. The market at the close was quiet, but strong at fractional advances for the day, while not generally up to the best figures. While the tone of tho bond dealings was firm the final changes are quite irregular. Colorado and Santa Fc firsts fell 4 to UO, and the seconds 7, to 71. Canadian Pacific .".

CInns Sprecklcs Says We Cnn Compete WUli the World With tho Present TarjlT. Washington, D. C. January 9. To day Claus Spreckles made a statement be fore the Senate Committee on Finance con cerning the beet sugar industry in thiscoun try. He said that for the year ending Juno 30, 1887, thero were imported into the United States 1,459,076 tons of sugar, while in the following year the imports wero 1,235,872 tons, showing a decrease in importations during the latter year of 223,000 tons. As the consumption has in creased it is evident that the production of sugar in the United States is also Increasing, as the decrease in importations plainly shows. The proposed reduction in the sujrar tariff represents $25 per ton which will bo said to preclude any further progress in beet sugar manufacture in this country, as the profit has been demonstrated to be but $20 per ton, or 7 per cent on the capi tal Invested. As the duty on sugar remains to day the United States can successfully pro duce all the sugar required for home consump tion. If any redaction be made In the duty then this can't be done. It remains, he said, for Congress to determine whether or not Americans shall raise all their own sugar on American soil, and also become exporters instead of importers. Ho said that for refining there was practically no difference between the products of beet and cane. During tte hearing it was intimated that the committee would insert in the bill a provision making the bounty of 1 cent a pound operative until the year 1900. When the mucous surfaces of the bron chia are sore or inflamed, Dr. Javne's Ex pectorant will afford prompt relief. For breaking ub a cold or subduing a cough 70a will find in it a certain remedy! DOMESTIC MARKETS.. Eainy Weather Blights Hopes of Commission Merchants. BDTTEB, EGGS AND APPLES HEAVY. The Hoped-For Activity in Cereals Fails to Materialize. EECEIPTS OF HAY TOO EOUKTIFUL Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, ) Wednesday, January 9, 18S9. J Country Produce, Jobbing Price. Rainy weather continues to blight the hopes of produce dealers. Pricesof apples aremerely nominal. Large quantities aro daily going to tho dump pile, and the only hope of those car rying large storks, is in the survival of tho fittest. Cheese is about the only reliable factor of dairy products. Wlulo there is no activo movement in cheese, stock is unusually light for this time of tho year and prices rule firm. Reports from E gin indicate that there i con siderable difficulty holding the old butier board intact. Among tho most lamentable failures in commercial history was tha attempted butter corner in November, which sent Elgin creamery for a very brief period up to 42c at headquar ters. Tho greed of dealers defeated its own end, and for the past si-: weeks thero has been a steady downward drift, until prices are now as much below what they should be as they went above real values. Eggs gi e no signs of recovery from their depression. Some dealers profess a readiness tofuiui h the best in the market at 20c.
