HOG SUPPLIES JWT UP TO DEMAXD OrFlCT OF PlTTBBtmO DISPATCH,) Wednesday. February 27, 1SS9. J The run of cattle this week has been about 20 carloads less than last -week. The total for Monday was 67 loads with very few since. In .the. receipts this week were 25 toads cf good Ohio cattle ranging from 1,400 to 1.W0 pounds. One load of extra premium cattle weighing 1,700 were sold to an East End batcher at $4 65. Some four or fire loads, weighing 1,403 to 1,500, were bought for New Yorfc parties at prices ranging from S3TS to M0S. A few bunches from 1,000 to 1,300 pounds were sold at prices ranging from S3 25 to S$ 73. There were no low grade cattle in this week's supplies. At the beginning of tno week markets were steady, with prices a shade higher than last s-eek on some light grades. Tuesday showed an advance of 5 to 10c on good butcher stock, with the adTancc well maintained to-dav. "tt ith one exception this week has been the only time this year when pnoes were better on Tuesday than Monday. The rulo has been that prices drooped from the bee-inning of the week. The stockman who shoved his cattle on to market Monday, anticipating the usual condition of tilings for the balance of the week, has had -eason to repent. Cnule Feeders Suffer. S. B. Hedges, who has just returned from a rip through Ohio, reports that he has seldom nconntered a more ill-tempered set of people han the cattle feeders throughout that State. lefore they will submit longer to prices of last ?eek they will let their stock go to grass to .wait the turn of the tide. All cattle feeders declare that markets of late have been ruinous to their trade, and they do not propose to ship .tOvk until there is something like a decent rofit in the business. Every stock raiser ho handles a dozen cattle, is a few hundred lollars short by reason of holding his cattle brough the winter. Everythine in the cattle line was well cleaned lp to-day. The feeling among stockmen is that lie worst is over and that from now on markets irill improve. There is certainly large room for "oprovement. Not for more than a quarter of century have cattle markets been so thorough ly demoralized as for the past few weeks. blieep and Lambs. The run was about the same this week as last, the total being some 23 loads. Prices ad vanced a strong "4c, and everything sold about as fast as it showed up. A very choice load of lambs, averaging 100 pounds, went off Tuesday like hot cakes, at 7c An old time dealer said be never saw a finer bupch of lambs at the, Lib erty yards. The range of prices for sheep was 4c to 5c. wo loads of primes brought SXc Prices to tay are a shade easier on advices from Buffalo ind other stock centers of large receipts. Pitts burg has been one of the best sheep markets of the country this week. Hogs. Receipts on Monday were 21 loads, against ouble that number last week. "With light re eipts the views of holders advanced. Light logs-were hard to get at anyprice. Some deal rs who had orders from Eastern packers were impelled to order f,rom Chicago, where the an has been over 30,000 daily for several days it Some of Chicago's overflow -n ill be due ere to-morrow, and prices are expected to op.

Wfeent Nervous nod Lovrer Under ForeIim Ad Ices Corn and Oats WenU Hog Products Unsettled, 'With a Declining Tendency. Chicago Just a moderate business was transacted in wheat to-day, and the feellngwas a little nervous with prices ruling lower than yesterday's closing. There was some little out side business, but trading was chiefly local. No new developments occurred, though it was claimed that May wheat was selling np moro easily. The opening was Kc lower than yesterday's closing, advanced c and then de clined lJic, rallied lc and closed about U-fc lower than yesterday. The early v cakness was influenced by rather free speculative offerings, helped some by the change.ln the tone of Liverpool advices, which quoteda dull feeling and lower prices. The subsequent advance to outside prices was in fluenced by a rumor that the market in Pans was excited and the statistical situation grow ing stronger. There were also some rumors afloat to the effect that the parties who had been known to be interested on the bull side had made financial arrangements to pay for all of the cash wheat to be delivered May L There was very little interest manifested in corn, in fact, the pit was dull and neglected. Fluctuations were limited to an Kc range. Oats' were less active and fluctuations were confined to a Vic ranee, with the close a frac tion lower than yesterday. A fairly active speculative trade was reported In hog products, but the prices were irregular and within a moderate range. In consequence of the liberal receipts of hogs, with packing grades selling at a further reduction, the mar ket for products opened rather weak, and a few sales were made at lower figures. Offer ings early were not large, but increased some what about the. middle of the session, and prices receded to medium figures. The market closed rather tame.

Her attorney has filed a plea of misnomer and In subsequent pleas she will be called "Mrs. Elizabeth King." When she will be arraigned is only a matter of conjecture, as her counsel has an evident desire to keep her away from the public gaze and have her brought into court without proclaiming it beforehand. District Attorney Fellows yesterday de cided to accept the evidence of Bookkeeper Woodruff against his employers, Ives and Stayner, and Woodruff will be a witness for the State. He has been promised immunity from punishment provided he tells the truth. The grand jury still has the case of Ives and Stayner before them, and will have fur some time to come. .Further indictments against the accused are looked for.

The swain went to the County Clerk and secured a license, making oath that his bride-elect was 21, and saying nothing as to her complexion.

Many Ways Pointed Ont in Which They Are Beneficial to Society. ONE MAN'S "WORK IN THE SOUTH. How a Pittsburg Merchant Was lifted From Poverty to Afflnence. A BAD DAI FOE IOCAIi STOCKS AND OIL ''Poor people, as well as those in moder ate circumstances, frequently entertain wrong views of the value to society of men of great wealth," remarked a "Wood street merchant yesterday. "They serve a good purpose, whether willingly or not, as I know from my own experience. "When quite young I had to strike out lor myself. I lived- with my parents, who were quitg poor. The adjoining house a fine, large bnilding was owned and occupied by a man supposed to be worth a million. He and his family seemed to have everything that heart could desire servants, horses and carriages, fine clothes, the best eatables in the market and everything else that money could buy. We thought they must be very happy. I did not envy them, but their worldly condition. was so far above my own that I re solved to aim high in all my business plans, so as to be able to command some of the luxuries and comforts with which the' family was sur rounded. I became dissatisfied with my hum ble condition. My wits were sharpened and my ambition aroused. 'It was a spur that urged me to attempt greater things than I had thought possible forme to accomplish. I at tributed my success in business almost en tirely to the change wrought In my aspirations by contact with a wealthy man. "It is wrong," he continued, "to denounce men of wealth" as cormorants, blood-suckers and enemies of .society. People who hold to this opinion aro veryt short-sighted. It is im possible, in the nature of things, for all to be rich, but it is far better that a part should be wealthy than that all should be poor, Where ever the latter condition prevails, as in some parts of the South and in several European countries, business is at a standstill, stagna tion broods over everything; there are no great public improvements, no railroads, no big, bustling cities everybody is on the same dead .level, with nothing to escite to activity, no motive to rise above the depressing environ ment that makes 'one man as good as another.' Society thus constituted is but a slight remove from barbarism. I am glad there are very few such spots in America. t t "To show what one rich man can do for a poor community, I will tell you a circumstance that occurred a few years ago.- One of my friends removed to Alabama and settled In a community of poor people, who had.neitber schools nor churches nor roads nor anything else to make them comfortable and happy. Their fields were overrun with weeds and their houses dilapidated. Idleness was the rule, work the exception. He boughta farm.stocked it, built a good house for his family and one for a store. He also engaged in coal mining. He employed about 100 men altogether, paying them gooa wages. He encouraged them by word and example to improve their condi tio!?. This soon began to bear f ruit. Houses were repaired and painted, the fields ana gar dens better tilled and the roads put in passa ble condition. By donating money for a school house he induced the people to build it and send their children to school. In a short time a comfortable church building was erected and a pastor engaged. In short, the influence ex erted by my friend worked a social revolution in the commnnity, which is now as noted for thrift and enterprise as it formerly was for slothfulness and decay. This is a striking in stance of the value of riches when properly employed. "Pittsburg is under lasting obligations to its wealthy citizens. They are liberal and public spirited. They never -refuse; to aid a good cause, lknow of one man who gives away every cent of his income from a large business. Their helping hands are extended to all classes of people In distress. Very few of them inherited their wealth. They accumulated It by hard work, in which their superior business capacity was an assurance of success. These men are examples for all of us to Imitate. They are also public benefactors. It was largely through their in strumentality that our hospitals, rcformatones and other charitable Institutions were built. They have founded libraries and other public institutions. They are at the head of all the great enterprises of the day, contributing both time and money and all for the benefit of the public, without deslringorexpectingpecnniary reward. Without them Pittsburg would soon lose her pre-eminence as a business center. Their example has lifted many a man from poverty to afflnence, as I have shown you in my own case. Rich men, as a rule, are entitled to honor rather than contumely. They serve a good purpose in lifting society from lower to higher levels of civilization." STOCKS TAKE A TUMBLE.

Oil Lett Go With Everybody Looking for an Advance. The oil market yesterday was a surprise to everybody. In the first edition of bis diction ary. Dr. Kolsom described the crawfish as "an animal that advances backward." That was the way with oil. It took a step downward. Nearly everybody thought itwonld open bull ish and make a nearer approach to the dollar line. But it went the other way. "Various rea sons were given for this. unexpected maneuver in the face of everything that should enhance instead of depressing prices. While the slump was no doubt largely due to the covering of of shorts, a deeper reason may be found In the fact that secret Influences are at work to main tain prices at about the present level. In other words, the market is being manipulated for a purpose, and it will move up or down, just as the powers behind the throne elect No other satisfactory reason can be assigned for yester day's slump. Left to itself, the market would have advanced, but the 'manipulators decided otherwise. This places the exchanges In the attitude of agents to carry out the will of the higher powers, who work the wire In secret Viewed from this standpoint, it is no wonder that outsiders refuse to come in and bo sheared. Individual judgment goes for noth ing when the market is entirely nnder the con trol of an influence that cannot be openly com bated. The market opened at 91 sold down to 91, recovered, and later in the day rallied to 9'. This was followed by a period of depression, succeeded by a partial recovery. Twice dur ing the afternoon the price touched 92X. Near the close it broke to 9 which were the clos ing figures. The market was fairly active for an hour succeeding the opening, by spells dur ing the day, and especially in the last hour. There was good trading East and West, but mostly by professionals. Opinions as to what to.day would bring forth were considerably mixed, some holding that the market would sell up and others maintaining that a lower level of prices would be reached. As between these conflicting views, each equally entitled to credence, the reader must judge for himself. A B.

The usual activity was witnessed at the real estate offices yesterday, and a goodly number of sales were effected. There were many ap plications for small houses, and also for unim proved building lots in both cities and suburbs. One dealer reported a large demand for busi ness bouses. W. A Herron & Sons sold two lots on Webster avenue, near Thlrty-thlrd street Thir teenth ward, for $900; one 24x100 feet and the other 42x100 feet Black & Baird, No. 95 Fourth avenue, sold for John A Roll to Frank Beacom a lot on the corner of Iowa and Adelaide streets.

New York, February 27. The stock market was a little more active to-day, though the in creased business was almost entirely owing to the heavier operations upon the bear side, which also had the effect of sagging the gen eral list off, while some shares showed marked declines for the day, and prices at the close were about equal to those of Monday. There was very little news of a character to affect the market and operators are still in the, waiting humor, the acceptance of the office tendered him by Mr. Walker, and the desire to know something of the policy of the Incoming admin istration, causing a holding' off, which gives for the time beiug the making of quotations over to the bears and traders. There was a more general distribution of favors by the hears to day, and the Grangers, New England, Atchison, Missouri Pacific and the Coal stocks all felt the pressure at times. London was again lower, and was apparently a seller in the early dealings, but there was a good demand at the figures, and for a time the market had a strong look, but the pressure became too strong when the first demand had been satisfied, and the downward movement became general, though slow. Chicago was the head center for bearish rumors, however, and reports of a discouraging nature from that region were numerous, and offset to a! marked degree such tendency to advance as was shown in the forenoon. Protests by shippers in Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota against the high through charges, the consideration of a new railroad Jaw In Wisconsin and cutting of rates by several of the most influential lines were the principal burden of these reports. A few strong spots were developed, knd the Oregon shares showed a marked disposition to rally, though improvement, after reaching its best figures of yesterday, los. all the advance. Manhattan continued its upward movement and scored a handsome gain on a large busi ness for that stock The movements in the rest of the list however, were small and unim portant Dullness became the most prominent after 2 o'clock, and Manhattan made a sharp advance while the others sagged off 'slowly until the close of business, thongh Richmond and West Point was strong in the last hour. The close was quiet and heavy at the lowest prices of the day in many instances. Almost the entire active list Is lower. Oregon Improve ment lot 2 per cent; Denver, Texas and Ft Worth, ; Atchison and New England, Hi each, and Jersey Central 1 per cent, while Man hattan showed a gain at the close of 1 per cent There was a moderate degree of animation in railroad bonds, but the same lack of special feature marked the trading, and no decided tendency of prices in either direction could be seen. The sales of all issues reached $1,487,000, but the only bond showing any special activity was Atlantic and Pacific 4s, which contributed $245,000. The most conspicuous advances were Jersey Central lsts 2?i to 105 Illinois Central is of 1951 3. to 109. and Louisville, New Albany and Chicago lsts 2& to 1L The following table snows the prices of active stocks on the New York Stock Exchange.
