W W' MEAT ON THE HOOF. The Week's Transactions in Live Stock at Herr's Island. CATTLE MARKETS ARE UNCHAKGED A "Light Ban of Sheep. Iambs and Hogs, and Supply FALLS BELOW DEMANDS OF TEADB Office of Pittsburg Dispatch,! Monday. Mrcn 11, issa. i Beceipts of cattle at Herr's Island were 31 loads. The demands of trade seem to re quire about this number every week. Air the receipts this week were from Chicago. Fifteen car loads were consigned to Zeigler & Gersoni The other 16 loads were con signed, L, Rotchild, Lisensteln & Ackerman, Andy Frohm and Eli Katz. The grade of. cattle this week fell below the average in quality. "There were more scrubby steers than usual in the supplies, and very few prime stock. The large majority of those received were un der 1,400 pounds in weight A number of loads v ere troruBOO to 1,000 pounds and not very in-. iting. VZ. IA The tendency has been stronc for some weeks past both at East Liberty and Herrls I jaiuo vw jiuau iuh iuuu silt, wn uj ....,. Stockmen attribute this tendency to the sharp competition.bronght by the dressed beef trade. Butchers claimthat there is no money in cattle for which they nave to pay much above 4c per pound. Prices of tattle Tary little from those which ruled a -u eek ago. If anything, markets to-day are slower; than last Monday. The best cattle on the market-weighing 1.-500 to l.OOOpounds. were sold at M 50. The lowest prices were S3 So for scrubbv steers, weighing 900 to 1,000 pounds. Calves are 'in better supply than they have been for a month or tn o past. From now on there will be no lack of Veal on butcher stalls. Sheep and Lambs. The run was very light, the total number re ceived being 475 head. Receipts in February were as high as 1,000 head in the week. Last Monday receipts were 800 head. The ran this week was the lightest of the season. The re sult has been that everything has been cleaned up. A leading dealer reports that he could have easily sold a couple hundred moro head if be had had them. Last week some 50 head were lelt over. This w cek the situation was entirely fevereu. The range of prices for sheep was 4J to5Kc, the latter figure being paid for a few bunches of extra fine wethers. The ranee for lambs was 6 to G?.Je. Soma dealers report sales of a few extras at 7c Hoes. The run was very light. The total was little above 500 head, against double that number for several weeks before. Prices were 15 to 20 cents better than last week. The range of prices was H 90 to to 25. As with sheep and lambs, de mand for hogs was much above supply. Every hog was sola early in the day, ana many more could have been sold. Markets at Chicago and East Liberty have been as at Herr's Island for the week past. Tho situation all around the circle has been in favor of sellers. The condition of country roads through the West is such that farmers find great difficulty getting their hogs to market, hence the short age. The remedy will come soon, and the comingneekis likely to bring full supplies. An overdose of cattle is also likely to come at an early day, judging from a dispatch received by one of our leading pork packers to-day from Chicago. The message states that cattle re ceipts there were 12,000 head yesterday. Tho overflow from this large supply will show up here in a few days, and markets are likely to weaken under the load.

Henry Clews 4 Cou, New York, says in their weekly circular: The money market is more active and firmer, the tendency being toward still higher rates.

This, of course, acts unfavorably upon stocks; considering wmcn, ana ine unsatistactory m fluences noted above, as well as the growing boldness of the bears, there is a strong prob ability of lower prices. A feverish stock mar ket may also be looked for during the next two weeks, at least, so that speculative operations should be Conducted with a view ot making quick turns rather than expecting a pro nounced upward movement. Drygoodi Market. NEW York. March U. There was a fair Monday in dryeoods with jobbers, with increas ing activity expected through the week. There is no change in the features ot trade.

MAEKETs;Br-iniiEr- Wheat Active, Excited nnd Unsettled Corn and Oata Lower Hog Product Un dergo n Slight Decide 'on TJn nsnally Heavy Receipts. ChicagoA large business was transacted in wheat to-day, and the feeling was nervous and unsettled, with prices lower. The open ing was weak, influenced by lower cables and fine weather here and abroad. Financial affairs in Pans are still unsettled, and hid a tendency to create weakness. Tbo first sales for May were at J5c declinefrom Saturday's closing, and quickly declined it more, hut good buying, chiefly from the "shorts," started the market up. and prices were advanced lc, bnt again became weaker, declining lo under a renewed pressure to sell, a prominent local trader being credited with Selling freely. About this time reports ttere received of ex port buying in New York, and a rumored sale of flour in Minneapolis lor export. This started shorts to covering, and prices advanced ljc, fluctuated some and closed about c lower tban'SUurday July ruled comparatively firm, opening about c lower than Saturday'-s closing; advanced lc receded lc, ruled strong and closed c higher than Saturday. There was good buying for July most of the day. A. verv fair business was reported in corn, and slightly lowcrprices were established. The feeling developed was somewhat easier, though fluctuations were narrow, within a c range. Oats were active. The feeling was weak and the range of prices lower. The best buying came from the shorts, but had no effect on values until prices had declined Jc, when a rally of lie followed. June received more at- &Sg&?J1l nC04 Is stlady. The market for Mav closed 6teady at ywA& Onlv a moderate trade was reported in hog products dnd the fluctuations in prices were confined within a narrower range than for sev eral days past. The receipts of hogs were larger than generally expected, with prices favoring buyers, and this had a weakening in fluence and caused a slight decline in prices for the leading articles.

The Jf ark Lane Express, in its weekly review of the British grain trade, says: The values of English wheat advanced slowly during the first part of last week. Then milder weather caused a halt, and on most of the exchanges prices'are inclined to recede. The condition of samples at London has im proved. The average p rice for the week ended on Tuesday was 32s Sd on sales amounting to 2,917 quarters, an increase of 2s Id over the pre ceding week, with larger sales. It is probable that the next report will show a 'reaction. Che sales of English wheat during the past week were 02,377 quarters at 30s Id, against 64,198 quarters at 30s 6d during the corresponding week last year.

I am satisfied that Cancer is hereditary in my family: My father died of it, a sister of my mother died of ft, and my own sister died of it. My feelings may be imagined, then, when the horrible aisaase made its appearance on my side. It was a malignant Cancer, eating ir wardly in such a way that it could not be cut out. Numerous remedies were used for it, but the Cancer grew steadily worse, until itseemed that I was doomed to follow the others of the family. I took Swift's Specific, which, from the first day, forced out the poison and con tinued its use until I had taken several bottles, when I found myself well. 1 know that S. S. S. cured me. Mrs. S. M.

The Scheme for Widening Diamond "Alley Agitated 50 Tears Ago. POINTS ON PLANTING TKEES. Taxation Said to be Dealing a Death Blow at the Farming Business. IIOYEMUKTS IN LOCAL STOCKS AND OIL "The project for widening Diamond alley is not a new one," remarked a prominent Fourth street gentleman yesterday after noon. "It was agitated when I was a schoolboy, 40 or B0 years ago; but there it is yet, and there it will likely remain for the next generation to wrangle over. If you will tell me when the hump will be cut down I will tell you when the alley will be widened. They are both conundrums." Tree planting, it is stated, will be on a large scale this season, particularly in the suburbs. Apropos of this a veteran nurseryman furnishes some valuable information. Be says: Many of those who contemplate planting trees select the largest and oldest they can get from the nurseryman, expecting earlier and better re sults. This, however, is a mistake. The opera tion of lifting such trees necessarily gives a shock to their vitality and interferes with their vital functions, and the tree will be the longer in recovering from the injuries after trans planting than younger trees, which sustain less Injury, and which usually have more and finer rootlets than trees of greaterage. The smaller trees adapt themselves better to the change, make new roots quicker, and sooner become fitted to their new locations and conditions. Those impatient for early fruitage will find only disappointment in selecting the most mature specimens they can find. The Lonerbaugh property, on Wood street, Wilkinsburtr. has been sold. The old buildings will be removed and a fine brick business block erected in their stead. The price paid is known only to the principals, but it would re quire five figures to express It. Ten years ago AVood street was a mud road running through a howling wilderness. Now it is lined with handsome houses on both sides, from the rail road station to Penn avenue, and is the princi pal thoroughfare of the newly-fledged borongh. Does farming pay in Pennsylvania? is a question that is being discussed in many of the country newspapers. Some show that the business is as good as it was a generation ago, while others take the opposite view. A writer in a Hollidaysburg paper says: Standing lately at Bradley's station, 1 looked over a section of country! comprising 25 farms, with all of which I have been Intimately ac quainted, during the last half century. Forty years ago there were upon each of these farms 2 able-bodied men with from 3 to S boys. Each farm had upon It 3 or 4 horses, an average of 20 head oE. cattle and as many beau or sheep. To-aaysor these farn9 are vacant. Five of them are in the hands of tenants a class unknown in former times and the others, with one or two exceptions, arc feebly operated by an old man and a boy. Farmers are belnjr taxed out of existence. as"the following will show: Upon a farm of ISO acres with which I am acquainted, the taxes last year, exclusive of national taxes (which average 3 per head) were J7S. This takes eight tons of bay, or ISO bushels of oats or corn, or 75 bushels of wheat, and the cost of marketing is frequently to be added. We are taxed in scores of other ways which do not appear so plainly. We are under the necessity of buying wire for fencing. This article, which Is made at a fair profit for (25 per ton. Is sold to the farmers for ?123. Suppose It costs S50 a ton to make it? Can any occupation bear such a tai? 1 repeat, 4hat farming is threatened with destruction by excessive taxation. Tho Philadelphia Secord says building lots for weekly installments of 40 cents are adver tised in Pittsburg. This is misleading. While such lots are advertised in Pittsburg, they are not Pittsburg lots, as the advertisement clearly states, but are located at Portland, Jay county, Indiana. Forty cents wouldn't buy ' enough of Pittsburg ground for a chemical analysis. The Record ought to be better posted, m i? ty i STSGEITAND ACUTE.

The Chances for Better or Worse Thought tobe About Even. The oil market yesterday exhibited the same general characteristics with which the public are so familiar. It was firm and weak by turns, the latter being the predominating feature. It bad no outside support, and the trading, which was small, was confined to the professionals. The opening figures were 90Kc Buying at Oil City soon sent the quotation ut to 90Kc, from which it broke to 90Kc The market then gradually sold up during the day and reached 91J6c which was the top price. There was a break in the last hour to 91c, from which there was a slight rally to 91c, at which the mar ket closed. "It's .a very uncertain market," said an operator. "The chances for better or worse are about even. I think still lower values will be reached before there will be a material re action. The situation justifies higher prices, but that is no sign that we will have them. The Standard has the veto power." A. B.

A Big Day In the Stock Market Bears Make a Raid, but Get a Black Eye Nearly Everything Higher. New York, March 1L This was the most active day of the year in the stock market, and after the first break the market continued strong until the close, and the stocks of the active list tonight are almost invariably higher. The early advices from the other side were not reassuring, and tbo bears with the aid of Lon don, Chicago, Boston and. Philadelphia were enabled to drive prices down in the early deal ings, but the cable soon brought better news from Europe and the scare' was repqrted to be over there, both In Paris and London with a much calmer leeling. The buylng.f or tho long account then began, and "the sellers of the earlv hour turned buyers, which spon induced a free covering of shorts and upward move ment which was Inaugurated and lasted- until the final close of business. Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and London were large purchasers and all the prominent stocks felt the stimulus, rising over a point from the lowest figures before noon. Reading and St. Paul were conspicuous for the pressure brought against them Irv the first drive and there were several large lots of the former sold which were believed to be for the insiders, but it was among the first to recover when the re action canto. The announcement that the roads west of the Mississippi river had per fected an agreement to maintain rates which stated as so stronc that no road could long re main out, was a marked factorin the late trad ing and the roads in that section of the country became prominent for strength at the close. Ihe news of the day other than that from the other side was not of special import ance, and there was a marsed absence of the usual pessimistic advices from Chicago. The market opened very active and decidedly weak, most stocks being from Ji to Ji per cent lower thin on Saturday evening. The Coal stocks. Grangers and Union Pacific showed most weakness in the early dealings, but in none of these were' the first decline supple mented for more than a fraction. Michigan Central, however, dropped over a point. The losses In the rest of the list were confined to the smallest fractions, and by the end of the first half hour the decline was checked and prices rapidly recovered, most stocks sliowinga gain over first prices by the end of the hour,, Thnrinp. tioweyer. continued without check I until nearly ndon, with Lackawanna and Chicago uas most conspicuous in tuo rise. Comparative dullness then overspread the list, but prices slowly advanced without any special feature until the close, which was active and strong at the best prices. Pullman scored a net loss ot 1 per cent, but the rest of the active list is almost Invariably higher. Burlington and Quincy rose i, Manhattah IK and Atchison 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were veryquiet, all the ani mation imparted to the dealings being from tbe activity in the Readingissues, and the second incomes furnished 206,000 to the day's total of $L351,O0a The market, sympathized with the weakness in the share' list at first, and while there was a better tone later in the day, most of the improved changes this evening are in the direction of lower figures.

N LATE NEWS IN BRIEF. The Central Labor Union of Buffalo, at the regular meeting yesterday adopted resolutions indorsing Congressman Earquhar for the posi tion of Public Printeri and urging his appoint ment. A cable from Aquaimina. west coast of Africa, states that Captain Holmes, of the whaling bark Sea Fox, an officer and servant were killed, and five of the crew fatally burned by the explosion of a whaling bomb gun. At Watford, Ont, Albert Wilson shot and killed Miss Sarah Marshall, Snnday night, be causeBhe refused to allow him to walk home with her from church. He then set fire to a straw stack to draw attention from his move ments. He is still at liberty. D. W. Shook, grain dealer, money loaner. Justice of the Peace and farmer, who recently absconded from Stephens, Minn., with $16,000 of other people's money, has been heard from at Vancouvers Island, British Columbia, His family left Plymouth to loin him. While Mr. Creagh, a landlord in County Clare, Ireland, and his sister, were driving to church yesterday, they were fired upon by some unknown persons. Mr. Creagh and his sister were hit by bullets, the latter's nose be ing shot off. Both are in a critical condition. Recorder Smythe. of New York, yesterday, in the Court of General Sessions, fixed bail in the cases of the Electrio Sugar swindlers at $7,000 on each indictment. There are three in dictments against each of the accused, and this makes 21,000 bail tq be given for each prisoner. Miss Jnlia O'Coniell Brown, a consin of Daniel O'Connell, the great Insh patriot, has become a member in full standing ot Dr. Wilds' Presbyterian Church, in Toronto. She is 90 years of age and up to a month ago was a devout member of the Roman Catholic Church. S. B. Cunningham, Disbursing Clerk of the House of Representatives, yesterday, in his office at the Capitol, shot at but missed T. R. HackmaUja page.

Cunningham 13 a large man, while Hackman is small. ' The Fall River, Mass.. weavers' strike for an advance in wages, which occurred yesterday morning, is one of the most general in the his tory of labor troubles at that place. The weav ing departments of 50 mills are practically shut down, and 6,000 weavers- are idle. Those who refused to strike do not number moro than half enough to keep one mill going. The extent of the strike is quite a surprise to the managers, who expected that only a few mills would be in volved. Considerable comment was excited at Lon don by the sensational reports cabled fromCal f ornia sources of tho destruction of the U. 8. S. Nlpsic by a German vessel. The reports found few believers, however, and the opinion most generally expressed is that they were circulated with the object of arousing American public sentiment against Germany. Nobody believes that the Samoan difficulty wl'l not be amicably settled by the parties to the Berlin conference, and in official and diplomatic circles the circu lation of alarmist rumors concerning the affair is strongly deprecated. The bobbin combination, or trust, an organi zation formed in 1886 under, the name of the American Spqpl and Bobbin Association, has gone to pieces, after strenuous exertions made during the past week or two to reorganize It upon a more substantial basis and one that would hold the members to a stricter account ability. This combination was formed to regu late the price of bobbins, spools and similar articles so largely used in cotton and woolen manufactures, and it included practically all the bobbin manufacturers of any consequence in the East, and represented in the aggregate millions of dollars. Clifton Hall, one of the largest hotels at Lakewood, N. Y., was burned to the ground ?'esterday morning. There were over 60 guests n the honse at the time, who all escaped in their night garments with tbe exception of Dr. E. Wlllano. of Philadelohla. who lumned from a second story window and broke his leg, but was otherwise uninjured. The fire spread to the Presbyterian Church and. six adjoining house, but was quickly extinguished hv the firemen. The total loss is estimated at $35,000, only partly insured. The guests lost all their personal property, and were housed in the other local hotels. , The now Evident Intention of the Parnell Commission to refrain from making an interim report on tbe Parnell letters has awakened the wrath of thellome Rulers, and It Is likely that an attack will be made upon tbe Government by the opposition leaders, with a view to elicit ing an explanation of the Government's con nection with the case of the Times. This at tack will very probably be led by Mr. Glad stone, who has already signified his purpose of arraigning tbe Ministry for its partisan course in a matter which should have been conducted with the utmost impartiality, and the squirm ing of some of the Ministers trader his lash will be interesting to witness. The funeral of the late John Ericsson, tbe famous engineer and inventor, took place yes terday from Trinity Church, New York City. The body was followed from his house on Beech street to tbe church by a long string of. carriages and mourners. The sidewalks in front of the church were packed with people who were anxious to catch a glimpse of tbe caket containing tbe body. A force of police were present to keep the people from pressing into the already overcrowded church. The or gan pealed forth music while the body was be ing carried into tho church. Tbe navy yard was well represented, there being in attendance two officers from each ship and one officer from each department. Henry George says he is going to make a three months' campaign of it through England, Ireland, Scotland and Wale-. He will open, the campaign in London at the Camberwell Green Chapel, on March 13. Large meetings are alreadv definitely arranged at Bermondsey and Woolwich for the middle of the month, but he Is due at Bristol on the 25th; and will then speak In several towns of South Wales. Westminster Chapel Vlalms him for April 1, and other meetings follow at Lam beth, Wadsworth and Stratford. On April 12 he is off to Carlisle and will rouse Durham and Tyneside in a series of demonstrations extend ing up to April 20., At Newcastle he will be the guest of Dr. Spence Watson, of the Na tional Liberal Association. A week will be de voted to the Birmingham district. The Supreme Court of. tho Unite'd States yesterday rendered an opinion reversing the judgment of the Supreme Court of Utah, in the case of Afidrew Colton versus the people of the Territory of Utah. Colton, in a drunken scuffle, killed a companion who was returning home from Salt Lake City with him in a wagon. He then drove back to the city, gave himself up and was convicted and sentenced to death. He appealed the case to the Supreme Court of the Territory on tbe ground that tbe Judge at his trial had not instructed the jury that it might, in case of murder in the first degree, recommend that the prisoner be sentenced to imprisonment for life. The Territorial Court deciding against Colton, the case was brought to the Supreme Court, which to-day reversed tbe judgment of the Territorial Court and re manded the case with instructions to grant Colton a new trial.

No signs of improvement in cereal markets have put in an appearance as yet. May wheat passed below the dollar line at Chicago to-day, the lowest point being 98c A leading flonr jobber said to-day: "There is nothing else for flour but a decline if things continue as they are.

Our customers are generally low in stock, but seem unwilling to take bold on present uncertainties of markets, Speculators will, in my opinion, get hold of most ef the stock before the new crop comes in.
