LOCAL LIYE STOCK. So Extra Prime Cattle at East Liberty Yards This Week. BOUGH GRADES LOWER AND SLOW. Heavy Eeceipts of Sheep and Lambs De moralize the Markets. LIGHT TACKIXG HOGS LOOKING UP Office op tiie Pittsbueg Dispatch,! Wednesday. February 6, 18S9. J Eeceipts of cattle on Monday were 85 cars, the same as for the two previous weeks. There were no extra prime cattle in the en tire lot The heaviest received were not above 1,500 pounds in weight, and only a few reached that figure. Some four loads of stockers weighing from 700 to 900 pounds were received from Chicago. The season is too far along for active trade instockers. The range of prices for the few that were received was 2c to 3;c. and markets were slow at these figures. Regular Buyers of stocbers from eastern counties have been scarce for some weeks back. Good, smooth butcher cattle, weighing from 1,100 to 1,400 pounds, were in fair demand at last week's prices. Rough common cattle were slow at a drop of 10c to 15c from prices of a week ago. The best heavy crado cattle in the market sold at iic to -ic The best going were considerably below prime. Common grades are reported very slow to-day, and. though holders were ready to make concessions, a number of loads remain unsold. Stockmen do not give a rosy view of markets. Trade has, by no means, been satisfactory to operators. The situation continues as for some weeks past in favor of buyers. Butchers, while complaining of very slow trade for the pan month, cannot certainly com plain of prices they are required to pay for cattle. Prime beeves were sold at Herr's Island within a few days for S 20, which a few weeks ago would hare brought S3 005 25. IT o reliable information of any reduction in price of beef to the eater can be traced. The butcher with a good trade ought to bo happy over the situation of cattle markets for the past month. Heavy Receipts of Hogs. Receipts on Monday were very large, the total being about CO carloads. On the strencth of liberal receipts prices went oil 10c to 15c, and markets continued dragcy through Tues day. This morninc prices are 5c to 10c higher and markets are firm. Rome stockmen report prices better at Cincinnati and Buffalo tnan here this week. Per contra, a leading packer fays that markets are as good here as anywhere and prices still too hich. The price of 1 orkers yesterday as S5 005 15 with markets slow. To-da v rates are $5 155 20 with active markets. Receipts at Chicago to-day were li.000 to 21,000 and markets steady. Total receipts at Chicago for the past three days upwards of CO. 000 There is no let-un to slowness of heavy weight liocs. Prices" for this class rule 20c to 30c lower than for good smooth packing toes weighing lrom 100 to 200 pounds. The greater the number of pounds above 200, the weaker arc prices. Cheap lard is assured for the coming season. febecp nnd Lambs. The supplf-of sheep on Morjday was 27 cars, more than double the number of the previous Monday. This increase in receipts was a sur prise all around, and prices dropped from 15c to 25c from rulintr rates of the week before. Choice (Trades suffered least from the decline, and would have held their own with an average supply. Markets to-day are reported no better than Monday. Some dealers report them weaker. All along the line the live stock mar ket is reported the reverse of satisfactory for this w eek. McCall & Co.'s Review.

Wheat Weak nnd Lower In Sympathy With the Feeling Abrondr Corn and Oat Come Down a Point Pork nnd Lard Quiet. CHICAGO Only a moderate business in wheat was done to-day, and that was mostly local. The feeling was weak, and was in strong contrast to the action of the market yesterday. The opening was about K8KC under the closing of yesterday, receded c more, then advanced Kc. hut later became quite weak, and prices declined liic recovered some, the market advancing S-5Jc but closed easy and Hc lower than yesterday. The weakness was influenced some by the heavy feeling reported in European markets. There was only a moderate degree of specu lative activity manifested in corn, trading be ing largely local. The feeling developed was easier and a lower range of prices was estab lished. The eaBier feeling was attributed chiefly to large receipts, the reaction In wheat, and to the colder weather which will improve the grading. Oats w ero more active and slightly lower. Trading was moderate in mess pork. Prices were irregular. Opening sales were made at 7Kc decline, and a further reduction of 15c was submitted to later in the day. Rallies of 2 5c were gained occasionally, and tho market closed rather quiet. Only a fair bnfiness was transacted in lard. Prices ruled 57c lower, and closed steady at inside figures. Short rib were in light demand, with prices ruling 7J10c lower, and closing quiet at in side figures. The leading futures ranged as follows: Vheat-No. 2.

Mr. PameH's appeal from the decision of the Scotch court in his case against Mr. John Walter, of the Times, for libel, will be heard at Edinburgh during the summer terra of court. It is stated that constables have left Kil larney with a warrant to remove Mr. O'Brien from Clonmel jail to Killamey. Mr. O'Brien has requested the Mayor of Clonmel not to make a i cpnrt of his health until a material change lias been made in his treatment. Advices from Shanghai state that a riot has occurred at Ching-Kiang-Foo. and that tho British Consulate and seven bouses belonging to foreigners, have been wrecked by the rioters. The British man-of-war Mntine has been dis- Batched to Ching-KUng-Foo to protect the ves and property of British subjects. The periodical outbreak of Socialists in Belgium, the recurrence of which was pre dicted some time ago, has been brought about m the usual way. All socialistic disorders in Belgium are conducted under the guise of up risings of discontented, ill-used and ill-mid workmen, and all workingmen's strikes in that country are nothing more nor less than social istic demonstrations. The Oklahoma fever has reached Kansas City, and the railroads leading out of the city to the West are preparing for a great increase of travel toward the promised land. Hundreds of men with families are out of work. Youngmen from the East, who came here last fall expect ing to get rich immediately, bavc been disap pointed, and many of them have not been erm fortunate enough to secure positions of any kind. They are planning, together with a vast horde of dwellers in tents in the suburbs, to move to free homes and independence. The real estate agents are getting their boards ready to go up and possess the land. Several Oklahoma land companies have alreadv been projected by well-known capitalists m and about the Gate City, and an exodus may be looked for at any moment. Philadelphia Stocks.

M OLD TIMER TALES Honesty and Pluck at the Bottom of Pittsburg's Greatness. DISASTEBS BY PANIC AND FIRE. Westinghouse Electric Beaches High Water Hark and in Demand. SWITCH AA'D SIGNAL GEO WING WEAKER "I have nothing in the line of news for you to-day I meag nothing more im portant than the ordinary daily business transactions which you can pick up at the Exchange and on the street," said a Fourth street financier to The Dispatch repre sentative yesterday. "Suppose yon say semething abont the city grand, old, reli able Pittsburg not the largest, hut in many respects the greatest community in the United States, or the world." "What can be said about it that has not been said time and time again?" "Well, I don't know perhaps nothing. Still the story of its growth from an insig nificant frontier town to its present pre eminence, is full of interest I have just been looking over some old records which have interested me greatly. These papers bring out several things very distinctly the early strug gles of the inhabitants and their final triumph over every obstacle. But I suppose the busi ness aspect of tho matter is what would most interest you." Such was admitted to ber tho fact. "Well, I supposo you know that Pittsburg business men havo a world-wide reputation for conservatism and solidity. They always look before they leap. They inherit this principle from their Scotch-Irish ancestors, to whom we owe more than we can ever repay. They were stern, rugged and patriotic to the core. Their word was as good as their bond. In business they gave every man his dne. They laid their plans carefully and deliberately before under taking any new enterprise. If it possessed any questionable features it was dropped. If It promised a fair recompense for tho money, time and trouble it would involve, they took hold of it with a determination that knew no Such word as fail. It was these heroes of every day life who laid the foundation of our present greatness. They fought, prayed and did busi ness according to the Presbyterian ritual, and whatever tbey did was well done. Early Business Here. "Give me some special incidents relating to the early business history of the city." "Pittsburg has seen stormy times. I remem ber the financial crash of 1837. Many of the business men of that heavy time were sorely tried, but very few of them went down. The lessons learned from their ancestors pointed the way out of their difficulties. There were a number of failures, but nearly all of tho indiduals and firms involved were on their feet again in a few years. They paid dollar for dollar. The great tire of 1845 brought financial disaster to thousands, but tbey put their shoulders to the wheel like Chicago under similar circumstances and emerged from the ashes stronger and better than before. An other bad blow to tho prosperity of the city was the panic of 1857, but it lett no enduring mark. Pittsburg has had fewer important failures than any other city of its size in the country. The worst failures we have bad two or three within the past 20 years were brought about -by downright dishonesty and not through lack of business acumen. ".Notice the substantial appearance of the city. It looks as If it had been built to stay. True, houses tumble down occasionally, but so they do in other places. The public buildings, the schoolhouses, the churches and many private residences aro as substantial, as good work and good material could make them, and of,the best style of architecture. In these re spects we canjconfldently court comparison with any other citr, East or West." "You must acknowledge, I think, that a few mistakes have been made that were seriously felt at the time." "I suppose you refer to nails and glass. We did lose a part of the nail trade, but it was through strict adherence to principle. Condi tions were imposed which the manufacturers were not able to grant, and rather than put themselves in a doubtful position they let it go. It was the same with glass. But we hardly fett theloss. Other industries sprung up to take their places. We are in better condition to-day than ever before. In addition to honesty and perseverance, we have advantages for manu facturing that no other city lays claim to. Natural gas, abundant transportation by rail and river, a healthful location and limitless capital will soon raise us to still greater pre eminence." Rare Old Docs. "You no doubt set a high value upon the documents to which you have referred?" "They contain a great deal of rare informa tion. Let me read yon a brief extract from one dated 1825: " "Pittsburg, which lies in the form of a trian gle between the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers, ocenpies the alluvial plain and part of the adjacent hills. A more eligible site for a city could hardly be selected. It is high and healthful, surrounded by verdant and romantic hills. It commands a beautiful prospect of hill and dale, neighboring villas, the villago of Bir mingham on the opposite shore of the Mononga hela and the suburb of Manchester on the oppo site side of the Allegheny. Both of these villages are connected with Pittsburg by fine bridges. The city is admirably situated for trade and manufactures. A number of the latter, driven by steam power, are in successful operation. It contains about 15,000 inhabitants.' "That was in 1825. To-day the population ap proximates 300,000, and the valuation of prop erty for taxing purposes falls but little short of $200,000,000. It is an old story that I havo briefly gone over, but it will never lose its in terest to those of us who have done what we could to make tho city what it is." THE COURSE OP STOCKS.

The Interest in the oil market yesterday was centered in tho last hour of the afternoon's dealings. The feeling was rather bullish in tho morning, but nothing of moment was done. The highest point of tho day 87 was reached just beforo the close. The spurt was due chiefly to the determination of the boys to get out of the rut somehow. They had be come weary of the monotony that bad charac terized tho market for tho past month. Tho advance could not be held, however, and the price broke to 87, quickly followed by a rally to Sili, where it stood when Captain Barbour ad journed the meeting. First figures were 8( highest, S7cx lowest, S6c: closed, 87c, with a few small sales. Oil City was a seller in the afternoon. Clearings were 1,144,010 barrels. Refined at Antwerp was an Jc lower.

Wnll Street Experiences a Revival Stocks Active, Strong nnd Generally Higher A Drivo nt tho Coalers and Grangers Bonds Firm. New Yobk, February 6. The stock market to-day was more active with a stronger tone almost throughout, and the result of the day's operations is to leave most of the list materi ally higher than last eveninc. The market was unsettled and irreKnlar in the forenoon, but became positively strong later in the day, and except in a few special stocks the ad vances were scored after 12 o'clock. The Grangers were the weak spot. Burlington and Quincy and Rock Island especially showed marked weakness and declined materially, though a portion of the losses was made up toward the close of business.. There was liberal selling for Chicago ac count, and the news from that center was not of an assuring character, but, on the contrary, some of it was quite sensational, and met with a quick denial. The fact that Burlington had ordered the Iowa schedule in force, which ac tion must be followed by the other roads doing business in that State, was a factor in the weakness, but this influence failed of its effect after the denial of the rumors mentioned. The Coalers were beavy, but very quiet, and the principal impression was made upon Delaware ana xiuuson, upon me report 01 the great cave in in the collieries of the company. The Van derbilts were again the leading strong feature of the market. First Driceswere almost linriihi. hiHipr. and the advances over last evening's figures extended Ji per cent in the general list, with larger ones in the specialties. The mar ket developed considerable strength in the first few minutes. The Grangers were the only weak spot In the list, but the attack upon tbera was so persistent that the general list gave way slightly in sympathy, and an irregular and un settled market followed, which lasted through out the forenoon. Burlington and Quincy and Rock Island led the downward movement, and each lost about 2 per cent before the decline was checked, but after noon tho strong tone reappeared, and with a fair trading prices be gan to rise all over tho list, even in the weak shares of tbe forenoon. The market finally closed active and strong generally at the best prices of the day. The railroad bond market shared also in the increased confidence manifested in the share list to-day, and while the market was stronger than at any time for the past month, the busi ness done approached the largest this year, ag gregating J3.5K000. This was in the main very well distributed, but Reading first Incomes fur nished J225.000. the second incomes $217,000 and y,e. )Xc!tcrn N,ow,YorK and Pennsylvania firsts $214,000 to the day's total.
