r ' i ( AvJ Hf LOGAL UYE STOCK. Light Ban of Cattle at East Liberty, but Trade Fails to $ FURNISH ANY SIOKS OF REVIVAL. Good Inqnirj for Stockers Sheep and i ' Lambs Drooping. HOGS STEADY ON LIGHT EECEIPTS OFFICE OF PITTSBURG DISPATCH, 1 WEDMSDAY. Mrch20, 18S9. J Monday's cattle receipts were a little above 60 carloads, a decline of 20 loads from the previous Monday. Notwithstanding the light run the markets failed to revive. An order lrom Baltimore to Mr. Myers for a few export cattle gave a temporary stimulus to the markets for this grade. Sellers who knew that this order was to be filled took advantage of the short sunply and lifted prices 1015c above rates of last week on export grades. The price realized on the Baltimore order was $4 20. Last week tie same could have been bought for 15c under this figure. After the Baltimore order was filled prices drifted back to last week's rates. A leading stockman reports that he sold cattle for S3 85 in every respect as good as those bich brought $4 20 a few hours before. Markets last week were the most demoralized since 1861, and It cannot be said in truth that there are any signs of improvement. About one-half of the supplies thiswcck were from Chicago. The qnalitv was fully up to the average. The bulk consisted of good butcher and good shipping stock. A fair lot were on hand weighing 1,4001.500 pounds. There was a good demand for stocLers, but the quality in this line was hardly up to the standard. Small Demand. There was big inquiry for a fine grade of stackers, of which there were very few to be had. Those on hand brought prices ranging from 3c to c Stackers were the only cattle of which it could be said that demand was above supply. More than were on band could have been easily sold. Veal calves are now coming in in quantity sufficient for all demands of trade. The danger of any shortage in veal supplies is past for this season, and now the indications are that a sur feit will bring down prices. One cattle man re ports to-day that prices of veal calves are now down to 5c as the outside figure, a drop of lc in the past week. Sheep nnd Lambs. Supplies on Monday were I" loads, against 20 loads the previous Monday. The quality varied very little from last week. At the beginning of the week markets were about the same as at the close of last week, but sluggish. Sellers were more willing than buyers. The sluggish ness of Monday and Tuesday brought prices down ic. Markets thus far have followed much the same course as last week. The dnfthas been downward from the beginning of the week. Last Saturday prices were 1520c lower than the Monday before. To-dayprices are oil about the same lrom last Monday. The range of prices for sheep is S3 00 to SI 90, the latter fig ure being for choice wethers. Advices from both Eastern and AY estern live stock centers show that markets here have.held up as well as at any point. Discouraging reports come from New York and Buffalo, which have had a depressing influence on our markets here. Hogs. The run has been light as compared with a number of weeks past. With the light run prices have not advanced. Markets to-day show a shade of firmness over a few days past. It is not at all likely that this firmness will hold, as news comes from Chicago that there was a decline of 10c on packing hogs to-aav. The range of prices at Liberty is $4 SO to S3 10. the first figure being for heavy hogs above 300 pounds, and the last for light Yorkers. O lr home pork packers report that Chicago ha. been for them a better market all this sea son than East Liberty, and that they have been compelled, against their will, to draw supplies in the main from the former place. With the best they can do they claim that the margin on hog products is almost wiped out. IHeCnll & Co.'s Review.

Chicago A moderate business was trans acted in wheat to-day in the aggregate, though at times the market ruled very quiet The feeling was steadier, and prices for May aver aged higher than closing figures of yesterday, while July varied only slightly. Influences were again chiefly local. The opening for May was from c below to the closing of yesterday, but soon started up and advanced Ic, de clined JJc recovered, closing Kc higher than yesterday. June closed about c and July He higher than yesterday. The early advance was stimulated some by the report of increased clearances from the seaboard yesterday, and a confirmation of a rumor yesterday of buying n California for shipment to Australia. Besides the above news a charter for SUOOO bushels No. 2 mill wheat was made to go to Kingston. A primary local trader was quoted "with being a good buyer most of the session, with some following by other floor traders, but at the advance there was an impression that the market was being fed by someone. A moderate business was reported In corn. Trading, however, was mainly local, and fluc tuations confined within a c range. The pre vailing feeling was comparatively steady, though at times an easier tone was manifested, but fluctuations did not vary materially from yesterday. Oats were traded in fairly early in the session, but during the latter part quietness prevailed. A fair number of buying orders arrived from the outside for May, and the market' for that month was steady, changes being confined to He and closing sales were at about the same prices as yesterday. June and July were traded in fairly. A weaker feeling developed, es pecially in June, which suffered a decline of Quite a good business was transacted in mess pork, and the market exhibited considerable strength.

THE A GRAND SURPRISE. Private Sale of Two Hundred Shares of Silverton Mining Stock. VALUE OFBAHKSHARESIN GOTHAM 1 Gentleman Interested in La Noria Wants the Light Turned On. LOCAL FININCIEBS PATE0N1ZE ART The first transaction in Silverton mining stock that has occurred, so far as known, for several months, was reported yesterday. Two hundred shares were sold at private sale at 1. As in the case with La .Noria, some definite information concerning the status ot the Silverton company would be quite welcome, and might improve its pros pects. At a recent sale ot bank stocks in New York the following prices were obtained. American Exchange, 147; Bank of America, 187; Bank of North America, 163; Bank of Commerce. 190; Bank of the Republic 157; Broadway Bank, 800: Leather Manufacturers' 229: Importers and Traders', 610; Leather Manufacturers', 229; Mer cantile, 200; National Shoe and Leather, 132; New York National Exchange, 130: Park, 193. Three hundred and thirty-one shares went at these prices. The latest bids for Pittsburg bank shares were: Diamond National, 100; Farmers' Deposit National, 4U0; First National, 169; Fourth National, 123; Fidelity Title and Trust Company, 123; German National, 325; Iron and Glass Dollar Savings, 130; National Bank .of Commerce. 215! Pittsburg Bank for Savings, 210; Peoples' National, 145; Third National, 172. The comparison is instructive and very creditable to the local institutions. The statistical returns forl8S8 show a healthy improvement of trade between the United States and Mexico, where considerable Pitts burg capital is invested in railroads and min ing. Both absolute and relative gains are in dicated. Our exports to the neighboring re public were the largest since the period of early railroad construction in lS81-84,and ourimports were the largest ever recorded. In comparison with Great Britain, France and the other coun tries of Europe, the United States at the same time is more than holding its own in the for eign trade of Mexico, whether as to imports or exports. We imported from that country in 188S'about 18 per cent more merchandise than the year before, and exported 24 fer cent more. Speaking of La Noria mining stock yester day, a gentleman who is interested in it, said: "I see it is still in the dumps. It has been so long since there was a bid for it on 'Change that I fear brokers have forgotten there is such a thing. This apathy might all be changed if the promoters would only make a statement. I have heard a rumor that the large amount of ore in sight is worth only about $15 a tan. If this be so, the stockholders should be informed of the fact; if not true the report should be authoritatively contradicted. There has been too much expended on the enterprise to allow it to lag as it has been doing. The stock holders want the facta and to get them they may have to call a meeting." 9 An artist in water colors did a thriving busi ness at some of the Pittsburg banks yesterday. His productions portrayed some of the finest scenery in England, and were pronounced highly meritorius as works of art. The sketches were generally sold in pairs, and the price was $20. In one or two cases $15 was accepted. This shows that Pittsburg bankers are not wedded body and soul to the habit of money getting, but are as responsive to the allure ments of the sublime and the beautiful as other folks. One of them is a poet of more than ordinary ability. Others are well up in classic and current literature. The Supreme Court of Minnesota has just rendered a decision of general interest In the case of the Cigarmakcrs' Protective Union versus Conhaim et aL, holding that the devico adopted by the Cigarmakers' Union, to be used by their several members on boxes of cigars made by such members, was not a valid trade mark. The Court said: "Such device not in dicating by what person the cigars are made, but only that they are made by some member of one of such unions, the right to use the de vice belonging equally to each of all the mem bers and continuing only while the person re mains a member, is not a legal trade mark." A HUT IN ELECTKIC. Its Advance Temporarily Checked Prepar atory to a New Dent. There was less vim in the stock market yesi terday, but the sales made a good showing, ag gregating nearly B00 shares, of which 180 were Electric and 200 Pittsburg and Western pre ferred and common. The freedom with which Electric has been thrown on the market for two or three days, not only checked the boom in that stack, but bad a depressing effect npon prices. The first sale yesterday was at 58, the same as the highest point reached on Tuesday. From this it slumped off to 5 68Jand 68K. with more offers than sales. There were no bids or offers for it on the board in the after noon, but it would hardly have brought fore noon prices. From all that can be learned a large amount of the stock is held out of this market for higher prices by causing a scarcity of it. If this be so another boom may be ex pected as soon as the netf deal is ready to be sprung. Switch and Signal was in demand at 24. The best price paid for it on Tuesday was 22- Gas and Tractions were dull and barely steady. There was no inquiry for La Noria. MOBNIKU. AFTEHNOOV. STOCKS. Hid. Asked. Utd. Asked.

There are no fears here of complications arising from the crisis in France. Gold shipments are on a moderate scale and not likely to increase. Secretary Wlndom has not yet announced his financial policy, but it is understood that such changes as he may make from the methods of his predecessor will be of a conservative char acter, so as not to disturb the relations, be tween the money market and the Treasury.

He Calls It In and Caosesa Flurry Among liocnl Dealers. A report that Rowe, of New York, had called his oil, received just before the close of the market yesterday, caused an advance from 91c to91c From this point the market broke quickly and closedat 91c. This was the prin cipal feature of the day. The opening was tame at 90Jc, where it held for some time, and then advanced to 91Hc and 91c. The market then broke back to 90c, then rallied to 91c, where it stood when the news of Rowe's action was received on the floor. Carrying was fiat to 10c premium. It was generally thought the shorts had fairly covered. Several of the shrewdest operators were of the opinion the market would sell down to-day. A B.

Wall Street Recovering From tho Depres sionThe Improvement In the Slock Market Continues Nearly Everything Closes High, cr Bonds Dnll. New York, March 20. The volume of busi ness in the stock market was still further re stricted to-day, but the improvement begun yesterday made further progress, and with but few exceptions the active stocks this evening are fractionally higher with some market gains among the specialties. The London prices came lower this morning, and this with the an nouncement of a failure upon the exchange, led to a temporary depression, hut the sustain ing influence of the short interest, with the cessation of the bearish dispatches from Chi cago, soon made themselves felt, and the firm to strong tone was again resumed. There were some efforts made to get the Grangers and the Bouthwesterns down, but the. effect was inconsiderable; none of those stocks ever got much below the opening, figure. Northwestern and Rock Island showed more vulnerability than the others, but yielded only fractions and had no marked influence on the remainder of the list. The Coal stocks were quite strong upon the reports from Philadel pnla that the companies had agreed upon a plan for the regulation of the trade during the E resent year, and many of them reached the est prices for a week past. The most marked feature about the general list was its quietness and steadiness with a firm tone, but several of the specialties made remarkable advances while showing unusual animation. Chicago Gas was the special feature of the day, and from one of the inactive shares be came the leader of the marketln both activity' and strength. The insiders were believed to be the heaviest buyers, and there was renewed talk of a 1 per cent quarterly dividend. Pull man also displayed some of the old time strength, and a spurt in the Chesapeake and Ohio first preferred stock attracted much at tention. Short Line, 'Cleveland, Cplumbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis and Big Four re sumed their upward movement, although their advances were more modest than those of the other stocks mentioned. The opening figures were all from 14 per cent lower than last evening's prices, while Burllngion was exceptional, with a loss of 1 per cent. Further fractional losses were sus tained in the first few minutes, but only Rock Island, which yielded ?. showed any decline of importance, and a general upward movement, which reached allnirta of the list, was soon in progress. In this rally the weak stocks of the early trading became prominent and the open ing figures were soon left behind, when the mirket became very quiet and In tnrn reacted. Toward noon the Denver. Texas and Fort Worth certificates advanced sharp v, and in the afternoon the movement became general, with Pullman and Chesapeake and Ohio first preferred most conspicuous. The high figures, however, brought out some long stack, and there was a fractional reaction from the best & rices, though the market closed dull and firm, urlington and Northwestern are dull and lower, but everything else Is higher. Pullman rose 3; Chicago Gas, 2; Cleveland, Columbus. Cincinnati and Indianapolis, 1; Short Line, IK; Chesapeake and Ohio first, 1, and Big Four, 1 per cent Railroad bonds were positively dull, the sales of all issues reaching only $994,000, while the market showed a firm tone, but fluctuations were confined to the narrowest limits.

The Elgin Butter Board reduced prices of creamery on Monday. The reduction goesinto effect here Thursday, and we have changed our prices, as will be seen by the list below. Freight rates have been, advanced in the past few weeks sufficient to add more than ic to price of but ter from the West. Cheese is a shade firmer in the East, but prices are unchanged. A firmer tone to the egg market is reported, with active movement. A large dealer, who returned from the Western Reserve yesterday, says that farmers through that section get about as much for eggs at home as can be obtained here. The drop of eggs to 13 and 14c is a fact that upsets all the calculations of commission men. It is a rare thing that hens get in as much good work-in March as they hare been- doing the past week or two. Already prices are almost as low as they reached any time last season.
