MEAT ON THE HOOF.
A Heavy Decline in tho Trices of
Animals on Which We Feed.
URGE RECEIPTS OP GOOD HOGS.
A Big Supply of Sheep and Lambs Lowers
Their Talue.
THE EASX LIEEKrr WEEKLY BEFORT
Through receipts of cattle are in round
tumbcrs 2,000 head less than they -were for
the two previous weeks. Local receipts, as
will be seen by the accompanying report,
are only 20 head below last week and 100
head less than the week before. By refer
ence to reports for mid-January It is discovered
that supplies for local cattle trade were 600 head
above receipts for this week.
In this week's supplies there were no crimes.
and the highest price obtained was 4Jc The.
(situation all the week has been in the buyer's
favor. Good, smooth butcher stock, from 1,200
to 1,400 In weight, about held its own with
prices of a week ago, but no more. Markets
lor the best going were slow. Rough, low grade
cattle and stockers suffered a decline of 10c to
15c from last week's pnccs,and at last accounts
some of this class were still waiting for buyers.
Butchers seldom have as fine opportunities
lor laying in supplies as low as they have had
for the past few weeks. A Herr's Island cattle
dealer reports sales of a pair of steers, which in
liis language were "very oxenish," weighing
4395 pounds, at 3Jc. A nice bunch of cattle
numbering 8, and weighing from 1,500 to Lb00
pounds, were sola at S4 lu iuo Duicnerwiiu
bought them could have had (Z0 for his bargain
before he took his cattle to the slaughter
house. A month ago So 00 would have been
the price of these 4 20 steers. All stockmen
report unsatisfactory cattle markets for the
v eek past.
noes.
The run of hogs at Chicago to-day was be
tween 23,U00 and 2S.0OO, giving a total since
Monday of about 90,000.
Advices to one of our packing firms report a
decline of 510c on prices. At East Liberty,
with large receipts on Monday, prices dropped
and markets were slow on that and the follow
ing day. Yesterday, with light receipts, there
was ah upward turn and more active trade,
especially for light packing hogs weighing from
JIM to ISO pounds. Heavy weights are still at a
discount of I030 per cent.
Lard supplies appear to have been well laid
in, and the porkers which run above the 200
weight are of slow sale. A year ago the heavy
hog was at a premium; now he is considerably
below par. Notwithstanding this necessity of
shading prices for heavy i eights, the farmer
who puts his corn into hogs does better with it
than by selling it. At the present prices of
corn there is, according to views of packers, a
nice proht to hog raisers, though they may be
(retting well nigh a dollar less per hundred
than tlicy did a year ago. While hog receipts
tire 4.605 more than last week, they are 2,650 less
than the previous week.
Sheep nod Lambs.
Supplies of sheep, as will be seen by report
below, are more than 8,000 head above last
week, and more than 3,000 above the previous
"week. ith this overdose came a drop of
19C0c, and very slow markets. A leading
stock hrm sent out the following report of the
tituation to their customers: "Sheep supply
neavy iionuay, uuerai xuesaay, iignt v eanes
day. Markets dull and prices lower." At last
accounts a few bunches of sheep were unsold.
Following is report of the week's transactions

Wheat Opens Weak and Lower, bnt Gains
a Folnt Before the Close Corn and
Oats Let do Pork Unsettled
nnd Lard Steady.
Chicago Operators in wheat were again
treated to a surprise -day. The early market
was weak and opening sales c lower as com
pared with yesterday's closing. This, however,
proved to be the lowest price of the day and
was followed by an advance of 2c, receded
some and closed 1K higher than yesterday.
The firmness was attributed to very good buy
ing on the part of some local trader!, ana as
there was not much wheat offered at times it
was a comparatively easy matter, with the as
sistance of shorts covering, to advance prices
stimulated by some bull news. Some -bad crop
news was received from the winter wheat dis
trict, but were not confirmed, and a dispatch
was received denying that the crop news conld
not have been bad when the markets nearer
the winter wheat region than Chicago ad
vanced only Kc.
Corn was fairly active, more Interest being
manifested in the market than for several days
past The market opened a trifle lower than
the closing prices of yesterday and gradually
sold off y.z, reacted a trifle, but closed Jc
lower than yesterday.
In the early trading oats were active but
weak, and later the mirkot -became dull.
Trading was confined at almost exclusively to
May, which declined c and closed easy.
Considerable interest was manifested in mess
pork early in the day and trading was quite ac
tive. Opening sales were made at 1012c de
cline and a rally of 2$5c was gained tempor
arily, rater tne marKet weaKenea ana prices
receded 1012c, but quickly recovered again.
Toward the close prices settled back to medium
figures and closed steady.
A fair trade was reported in lard and the
feeling was easier. Prices ruled 710c lower
and the market closed steady.
"Short ribs were more active and easier.
Opening sales were made at 6"Kc decline,
and a further reduction of 2Kc was submitted
to. Later prices rallied 2jg5c and the market
closed steady.

CAPB TOWN'S MARKET.
Some of the Articles That Can be Ecadlly
Disposed of There.
We hear from Capo Town, says the Glasgow
21 ail, that there is an opening there for dynam
ite. If, as everything leads one to believe, gold
is to be found in paying quantities in the quartz
of certain regions of South Africa, the employ
ment of dynamite in this part will very largely
increase. The amount imported during 1886
was 99,575, of which amount 32,584 came from
Germany.
jTine candles would, in our opinion, find a
favorable outlet in the Cape market though
Germany, profiting bythe advantage which a
direct line between Hamburg and the Cape
affords them, is seeking to monopolize the
trade. Under the name of French confection
ery, chocolate and sweetmeats are sold In the
pnuuiuai ucuwjib ui ine coiony, wnicn near not
the slightest resemblance to the real articles.
Germans and Americans have lately given
special attention to this spurious ware, the im
port of which for 18SS amounted to 61,933
pounds. We think it will be sufficient to draw
the attention of producers to these circum
stances to indnce them to send here some of
their best articles, and show tho difference by
ocular demonstration.
Pig Iron br Collateral.
Borne of the Pittsburg iron men favor the
scheme of tho Pig Iron Storage Company,
which has just been incorporated InNew Jersey
with a capital of $2,000,000, of establishing
storage yards In different parts of the country,
where furnace owners who have pig iron on
hand may store it and receive a certificate from
the company that will be negotiable. They
think such security would be readily accepted
as collateral for loans.
Metal Markets.

BANK OP PITTSBURG MAKES A HIT
The big specnlation in real estate, men
tioned in this department of The Dis
patch a day or two ago, caused some of the
Fourth street agents to "study up parallel
cases, several of which were brought to light
yesterday. While none of them were on so
large a scale as the original transaction,
they nevertheless show how rapid the ad
vance in this description of property has
been within the past few years.
Nine years ago an acre lot near the rail
road station at "Wilkinsburg went a-begging
at 100. Finally an Englishman traded a
house and lot for it. Three years ago he
sold 25 feet front for 51,000. A year later he
sold another piece of the same siie for $1.10a
He asks 2,000 for what is left
Six years ago a drygoods salesman in Pitts
burg had 400 that he had no immediate use
for. A friend in Wilkinsburg coaxed him,
much against his will, into buying a lot on
Wood street in that village Last year he sold
thelotfor1.20a
In 18S0 the National Bank of Commerce
offered acre lots at Edgewood for SSOO and 900,
on easy payments. The same lots could not
now be bought for less than 2.000. Other In
stances of a similar kind were recalled, but the
above will serve to show that those who refused
to buy before the East End boom set in missed
a good thing.
"These are not inflated values," said one
agent. "They are backed up by a legitimate
demand and by money. The property in ques
tion was purchased by men who have since
built comfortable homes upon it, and so further
increased its value. If this rapid advance had
been the result of a speculative movement, I
would doubt its permanency. But as the sales
were to people who wanted to build, and did
build, I can see nothing of the mushroom ele
ment about it,"

THE PRODUCERS' OIL.
Rumors Concerning Its Disposition Lend
Strength 10 tho Market.
There was a moderately firm tone to the oil
market when it opened yesterday, the outside
news being bullish. It opened at 87c, without
much activity. The first break iwas to 85c,
the lowestpolnt reached during the day, caused
by New York turning seller. Oil City buying in
the meantime, bnt no heavy blocks changed
hands. The market then reacted to S!c, and
closed with sales at 87Kc a gam of Kc over the
opening.
The strong feeling at the finish was due in
part to an impression that at the meeting of
the Executive Committee of the Producers'
Association at Oil City yesterday some action
would probably be taken to strengthen the
market by reaching a conclusion as to the dis-
Eosition 01 tne Dig uiock. 01 siun tney nave been
olding in reserve since lastfalL Although
this was the merest surmise, It gave the mar
ket nearly all the strength it had.
Should this have been the outcome of the
meeting, it will be the strongest bull card that
has been played for several months. The tele
graphic columns of The Dispatch this morn
ing will furnish full information on this point

ANOTHER LANDMARK GONE.
Demolition of a Building Brought
Into
Prominence by Colonel Brlcker.
The building intervening between the Metho
dist Book Concern and tho Masonic Bank on
Smithfield street has been razed, and will be
superseded by a modern structure of the same
dimensions for business purposes. The prop
erty is owned by the Lindsay heirs. "I am glad
the old house has been torn down," remarked a
gentleman yesterday. "It was nothing bnt a
shell. It is surprising that it was not blown
down or did not tail of its own weight long ago.
It was like a man with a heavy body supported
by a pair of very thin legs."
The building in question was erected about
1873, and was considered quite an ornament to
the street at that time. It was first occupied
by the late. Colonel Fricker, who was a noted
character in his day genial. liberal and fond of
a joke. His steaks and soups were considered
marvels of the culinary art, and attracted to
his restaurant many prominent people.
GOOD BDYISG
Gives Stocks a Lift Pullman Makes a
Spurt Tho Vnnderbllts nnd Grangers
, Qnlct Prices Close at Top
Figures Bonds Were
Less Active.
New Yoek, February 7. The stock market
again gave evidence of its broadening ten
dency, and except for a fractional setback con
tinued strong all the wav out, closing at the
best figures. There was renewed buying all
over the list by commission people, and the
purchases more than usual of late extended
largely to the speculative stocks and prospect
ive dividend payers, while the usual leaders of
the speculation were comparatively quiet Tho
Northern Pacific group came into prominenco
and slowly worked up without any marked
movement, while the Grangers were quieter
than for some time.
As usual of late, all the marked advances
were In the low-priced shares and inactive
stocks led by Pullman, which rapidly mounted,
crossing 200 and showing at its best figure a
gain of over 6 percent Other marked ad
vances were made in Lake Erie and Western,
Denver. Texas and Ft Worth. Oregon Naviga
tion and Chicago and East Illinois. TheVan
derbilts, with the exception of Cleveland, Co
lumbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis, were
quiet and without feature, but the last named
stock, after a slight upward movement was
raided down 3 per cent although the loss was
very nearly regained at the close.
Opening prices were generally from K to K
per cent above those of last evening, and fur
ther fractional gains were established in the
early trading, but the attack upon Cleveland,
Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis checked
the upward movement, and everything retired.
Comparative dullness followed the decline,
but the strong tone quickly reappeared, and,
the Northern Pacific coming to the front the
losses in most of tho list were regained before
noon. Atchison and Lake Erie and Western
developed weakness in the afternoon, but
later there was a recovery, and Pullman took
the lead. There was no further change In the
temper 01 the market, and tho advance con
tinued without special feature until the close,
which was active and strong at the best prices
of the day. The total day's business was 361,025
shares.
The railroad bond market was less active
and not so uniformly strong to-day, and while
some irregularity was shown, the final changes
are generally in the direction of higher figures,
and in most cases for fractional amounts only.
The principal advances were Duluth and Iron
Range firsts, IK, to 103K; Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe seconds 1, to 83; Long Island fives 1,
to 115K: Louisville, New Albany and Chicago
consols 1, to 97K; Milwaukee, Lake Shore and
Western convertibles IK to 96K; Mobile and
Ohio new fours 4, to 43; Iron Mountain fives
2M. to 8 and Erie incomes 2, to 82.

THE C0EN CROP.
It Would Reqniro 3,000,000 Cars to Re
move It to the Seaboard.
The American corn crop last harvested was
the most bountiful ever known. Nearly 2,000,
000,000 of bushels were raised on 75,672,763
acres of the finest land in the world, which will
bring in nearly 700,000,000. The train that
would bo required to bring tnis immense yield
to the seaboard would be 3,000,000 cars, loaded
with 602 bushels each, and nearly 60,000 loco
motives, and would reach more than around
the world. So heavily loaded, a train travels
slowly, and It would require a whole year to
pass through Chicago.
According to the official returns of the Iowa
Agricultural Society, the yield ot the corn
States is as follows:

Import Dntles in Chill.
With reference to the surtax charged in Chili
on the import duties, it is stated that the Gov
ernment of that country proposes to reduce it
monthly by 1 per cent until it does not exceed
40 per cent of the tariff duty. The mitigation
ot this onerous tax will no doubt prove very
beneficial to the foreign trade of Chili and
eventually tend to increase the revenue of the
