CATTLE A SHADE LOWER IN PRICE.
Supply of Bulls Beyond Demand Sheep
and Lambs Steady.
HEAVY HOGS COMING TOO FEEELY
OFFICE OF THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, 1
"Wednesday, January 16. 18S9. J
The run of cattle on Monday was very
heavy, being close to 140 carloads, an excess
of 50 or more loads over the previous Mon
day. On Tuesday a half-dozen more loads
was received, giving a total so far this week
almost double that of last week. The run
this week has been the largest since the
middle of Xovember. The bulk of the re
ceipts have been medium grades, ranging
from 1,200 to 1,300 pounds in weight. Be
tween 700 and 800 head of common stock ar
rived from Chicago.
From 30 to 35 loads of heavy cattle, rang
ing from 1,400 to 1,000 pounds, are reported
among the receipts. "Very few low grade,
poor cattle are coming in from the country
this season as compared with former years.
Mild, spring-like weather and plenty of good
feeding is so far favorable t J quality of stock
showing up at markets. HeaTy weight cattle
are off 25c per 100 from last week's prices, and
light grades 10Q15c
All the dealers unite In reporting a very slow
market. Some 20 to 25 loads arc unsold, and
from present outlook mnst be sold at a sacri
fice. Among receiDts this week were Scar
loads of bulls, when the demands of the market
do not call for more than 2 loads. For a few
weeks past the supply in this line has not been
up to demand. This fact having been circu
lated far and wide, there comes at last such a
rush of bulls to market that prices hive fallen
from S3 25 to J2 50. with a goodh number un
sold at last accounts. Said a leading live stock
dealer: "I have not known for many years such
a sudden drop in prices of bulls as this week.
Somehow we are apt to have a feast or a
famine. For two or three weeks past the sup
ply of bulls was away below aemand. Is ow we
can hardly give them away."
Sheep and Lambs.
Monday's supply of sheep and lambs was
about double that of the two previous Mon
days, footing np between 25 and 30 loads. There
are still unsold three or four loads. Markets
ruled steady, by reason of favorable news from
UewYork, Monday and Tuesday, but to-day
gave signs of weakening. On Monday prices
were a shade better than last week, but the
situation is now reversed. Good sheep were
sold to-day at 4 40 which would have brought
H 50 yesterday. Holders ask S6 50 to $6 75 lor
the best lambs, but at last accounts were not
able to get their figures.
The market for both sheep and lambs is a
shade off from ruling prices a week ago, but
has held up remarkably well considering the
doubling up of receipts.
Hoes.
After the temporary break in the market for
hogs at the beginning of last week, caused by a
big run, prices rallied and held up well all
through the week. Holders became so firm in
their ideas of value that urders were sent out
to Chicago by a number of dealers. To-day
the Chicago supplies begin to come in, and as a
result prices are off 10 to 15c from those which
ruled for a few days past. There is still the
complaint of too many heaw weight hogs lor
the needs of the market. The mild weather
and abundant corn crop conspire to add an ex
tiaordinary amount of lard to porkers showing
up this season.
The farmer can get most for his corn By put
ting it into hogs. Last season the corn crop was
short, and hogs were shoved on the markets as
quickly as possible. Then heavy weights were
most in demand and brought the best crices.
Now the demand is alitor light weights, and on
this grade the best prices are obtained.
McCnll it Co.'s Report.
E. M. McCall t Co. in their weekly review
say: The receipts of cattle have been heavy for
this season. The market ruled very slow and
lower on all grades except good straight steers
weighing L000 to 1,100 pounds, which were
steady at last week's prices, while good to
prime may be quoted as very dull at a decline
of 25c per cwt, quite a number of the latter
grades are goingthrough in first hands. Wcgive
the following as ruling prices: Prime, 1,300 to
1.600 fts 51 404 80: good. 1,200 to 1.400 lbs., S)i

head.
The receipts of hogs have been liberal, and
the market ruled active. Monday, yesterday
and to-day, the supply was equal to the de
mand and the market slow. Prices, 20c lower.

CHicAGO.Jannary 16. Wheat was again fairly
active and prices ruled both higher and lower
than yesterday's closing. The market started
out very firm and about 1c higher than yester
day's closing, being a continuation of the firm
ness developed yesterday and the result of good
buying, possibly the greater part for covering
of shorts. Domestic markets all sympathized
with the advance, and all opened higher. But
the advance brought out considerable wheat,
and it was reported that parties who did the
buj ing yesterday were prominent in the selling
to-day. The offerings were sufficient to create
weakness, and changed the tendency of prices
downward. Prices settled back with numerous
fluctuations 1. This decline was partly as
sisted by rumors that tho Cincinnati .Price
Current would publish an article confirming
the agricultural report, and also by the report
of the "Winter Wheat Millers' Association.
Later the market became stronger on the re
ceipt of a dispatch from the editor of the Price
Current, in which he stated the exportable sup
plies of wheat for the next six months would
be about 20,000,000 bushels, of which 18,000,000
bushels was on the Pacific slope. Prices recov
ered H, and the closing was steadier and about
low er than yesterday.
Corn was moderately active and firmer early,
and later became quiet and easier. This, mar
ket opened c higher than the closing prices
yesterday, was firm and advanced IKc, but
later eased off lilc and closed about the same
as yesterday.
Oats were more active but steady, with about
the same range as yesterday.
An unsettled f eelinc prevailed in mess pork
and prices ruled nmewnat irregular. Opening
sales were at 25c advance, but with slightly
increased offerings the market weakened and
prices gradually receded 17K20c Later the
market ruled steadier and prices rallied 12$
15c and closed comparatively steady.
Considerable interest was manifested in lard
and an unsettled feeling prevailed. Early a
few sales were made at 25c advance, nut
offerings being liberal a weaker feeling set in
and prices were reduced 1015c Toward the
close the feeling was steadier again, and-prices
rallied 25c and closed quiet.
Rather a quiet feeling prevailed in short ribs
and prices ruled irregular. Early sales were
made at 2c advance, but the market weak
ened and prices receded 710c Toward the
close the market was steadier and prices rallied
2M5c and closed quiet.

AN EAST END SHADOW
Valuable Property Handicapped by
Inefficient Drainage.
CAUSES OP SICKNESS AND DEATH.
The Festive Bears Knock All the Life Oat
of the Petroleum Market.
SOMETHING NEW LN I0CAL FINANCES
"Do you know that one of the greatest
drawbacks to portions of the East End for
residence purposes is bad drainage, or rather
no drainage at all?" said a Homewood
Crasus yesterday. The Dispatch repre
sentative intimated that he had beard some
thing of the kind, but asked for particulars.
Crasus continued: "I refer particularly to
Homewood, Brurhton, Park Place and
"Wilkinsburg. At all of these places the
most of the land is low and flat. After
every rain or snow the ground is covered
with from one to three inches of water, and
it remains there until it soaks into
the earth or is removed by
exhalation There Is no chance for it to run
on. xo maice tne situation worse, tne ncignuor-
ing hills act as a conduit for the watershed, of
which they form the barrier.and pour floods of
water over the valley after every rain or thaw.
The consequence is that citizens of those lo
calities are compelled to wade through mnd
for about nine months in the year. Gum boots
aro in greater demand than shoeblacks."
Further on he adverted to this aqueous inflic
tion upon the general health in the localities
indicated, and remarked;
"A large number of the citizens use well
water. It is generally almost generally bad.
Owing to the flattish topography of the ground
surface water cannot be excluded. It gets into
the wells despite every effort to keep it out
This renders it impure and unwholesome. In
many cases the water is boiled before using,
but this is troublesome and is often nezlected.
The serious effects of drinking water impreg
nated with surface impurities is known to
everybody who has paid any attention to the
matter. It is a fruitful source of typhoid and
kindred ailments. All of the places mentioned
suffer more or less from those diseases every
year. Ten years 'ago Wilkinsburg was almost
decimated by typhoid, originating from impure
water. All this comes from lack ot drainage,
which, in addition to poisoning the water,
renders a considerable area of otherwise good
land practically worthless"
The abdvo statements were corroborated by
other authorities; but it is only just to add that
the citizens are fully alive to the inconven
iences and dangers pointed out by Mr. Croesus
and are doing all they can as individuals to
remedy the evils But until a general system
of drainage is entered upon no material im
provement can be expected. This would ad
vance tho varac of property at Benwood and
Brushton from 25 to 50 per cent and scarcely
less in the low-lying districts of Wilkinsburg
and Park Place.

danger of an immediate reaction. Gas and

La Noria at 1, 75 Westinzhouse Electric 36,
2o shares Philadelphia Gas 89. Under the title
'sales" in the afternoon was the significant
word "goose egg." It told the whoie story.
There had been no business.
KATHER UXUSUAL.
A Peculiar Condition of Business ai Illns
trnted nt the Bnnka.
"The money market presents at least one cu
rious feature," said a Fourth avenue financier
yesterday evening. ''In former Presidental
contests there was a falling off in business be
fore the election. Capitalists were governed by
their doubts and were slow to invest until
they saw how the cat jumped in other words
until they knew the result This season sees a
reversion of the custom. Banks were busy as
they could be all through September and Octo
ber, and not until a few days before the ballots
were cast was there any perceptible diminution
in tho volume of transactions. Everybody who
had money interests at stake seemed confident
that protection would triumph, and kept right
along as if there was nothing unusual going on.
Since the election, however, business has been
comparatively slack. At least, we have not
been crowded."
"How do you explain this change of base?"
"I hardly know, except upon the theory that
all things come out about even in the end. It
maybe further accounted for by the law of
supply and demand. This time a large amount
of business was transacted before the election
that is usually put off until after it takes place.
It is, I presume, nothing more than the natural
reaction from flush to easy times. Don't un
derstand me as complaining. Times are good
better than at the same time last vear but
scarcely tip to what we expected. However,
there will be an improvement before long.
Everything points to a prosperous year."
The total sales of stocks in New York yes
terday, were 217,998 shares including: Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western, 44,220; Erie,

A MYSTERY.
The Beit Oil Sharp Unable to Throw Light
on the Situation.
, Except for an hour or two in the morning
business on the Petroleum Exchange yesterday
was very tame. The opening price, 85Jc, as
against BBia on Tuesday, disclosed the dom
inating influence to be decidedly bearish. New
York bought and Oil City sold. Pittsburg did
neither to amount to anything. Sales were
made at fluctuations of two or three points.
There was nothing to attract outsiders
From the lowest point, 86c, there was a
spurt to 86Jc some trading being done in the
meantime. This little diversion soon ceased,
hon ever, and the market lapsed into a condi
tion of quietude seldom experienced on tho
floor of the Exchange For about two hoursin
the afternoon not a single trade was effected.
Toward the close there was more animation,
but prices did not improve. The final figures
were 85Kc, Vc above the close ot Tuesday, but
with a weak feeling and a large element of un
certainty as to the future.
No one seems competent to give an explana
tion of the condition of the market Each
operator has his theory, and no two of them
agree Some think the producers' millions are
at the bottom of the trouble. Some lay itto
tho secret workings of the Standard. Others
hold that somebody is doing some heavy dump
ing, but whero or how they don'tknow. It is a
time for guessing, and the best guessers will be

more in the direction of Inquiry than sales
As usual, a nnmber of important deals were re
ported on the string. Nothing furtber'could
be learned about the "Wood street transfer.
There were rumors about It, but they were con

STOCKS GO OFF.
A Pressure to Sell Provei Fatal to Prices
London a Free Bayer The Conl
ers Lead the Downward
Procession.
New York, Jauuary 16.-The stock market
was again moderately active to-day, but it
shows the effects of the recent liquidations.
The general bullish feeling, especially on the
foreigners, kept the market firm during the
afternoon, but later the pressure of stocks for
sale for both accounts knocked the entire list
off materially. London was a liberal buyer at
the opening, and considerable demand for
stocks existed, especially in the Grangers and
trunk lines
St, Paul was tho feature on a report of a
heavy increase of the earnings. The Coalers
were the weak spot, Lackawanna leading. The
liquidation of long accounts was resumed, and
pressure of short sales was added. Among the
specialties Chicago Gas Trust was especially
weak, sympathizing closely with Cotton Oil,
which made a further drop on a very large bus
iness The market closed quiet but weak at
about the Ion est figures. Chicago Gas Trusts
declined 2 Lackawanna VA. Missouri Pacific
and Michigan Central each .
The railroad bond market was less active.
Erie seconds furnished $275,000 to the day's
total business, followed by the Reading fours,
with 242.000, the firsts 130,000 and the seconds
with $122,000. The tone was strong, but the
movement was not so marked as usual of late,
and important changes are few. Big Four

Co on try Produce, Jobbing Prices.
There are no signs of recovery from the long
continued depression in butter and eggs. The
Elgin board on Monday was compelled to recog
nize the situation by another drop, and price
there is now 26c Choice nearby eggs in single
cases bring 19c and 20c, but go slowy at these
figures. Some dealers quote the range of prices
from 16c to 18c. Cold storage eggs are a drug
on markets, and holders would be glad to come
out somewhere near whole. Cheese loses
nothing of its firmness. Apples and potatoes
give no signs of improvement. So many over
ripe apples are being forced on to markets at
nominal prices that the trade in this line is de
moralized. Produce commission men And it
hard to submit to the balmy weather. "The
best laid schemes o' mice and men gang aft
a' glee," Burns said, and the commission men
who laid in large stocks of potatoes, cabbage
and. onions in the fall at what was then con
sidered remarkably low prices, now in mid
winter have a practical demonstration of the
truth of Burns1 aphorism.

this week have been 179 cars, of which 04 were

hoped-for improvement in grain and hay mar
kets. Retail dealers complain that the bulk
of stuff coming in la of inferior quality, and
say that choice oat3 and corn are bard to get.
A choice article in either line would bring
prices quoted below. Said a leading operator
in grain and hay: "The bottom is out of mar
kets, but this is not altogether due to the over
supply. Tbe quality of stuff coming in has a
good deal to do with demoralization of mar
