SHEEP AND HOGS DKIFTING DOWN
Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, 1
" ' THURSDAY, April 25, 18S9. J
With returns all in, it appears that re
lceipts of cattle for local trade are well up
to S00 head more than, last -week. The run
this -week is the largest since the middle of
January, when 2,218 were reported. The heavy
run thlsweek upset all calculations of dealers,
and markets were badly demoralized.
Prices vrere off all along the line. Good
smooth butcher stock, vreighlne 1.100 to 1.300
pounds, suffered least from the depression.
Thin stackers and coarse heavy cattle suffered
most. With 500 head above the wants of our
local trade, it Is plain that somebody had to
come down. Stock raisers through this section
are not willing to invest In stockers and feeders
at present prices of cattle, unless at very low
rates. In the far West, where crazing Is
abundant, there Is not so muck risk in buying
stockers.
In this section, where lands andfeed are high
and cattle have been very low of late, there is
little encouragement to stork fanners to lay in
a supply ot thin stockers in the hope of putting
enough tallow on their ribs to win a profit by
fall.
Calves held up fairly well to last week's
prices until to-day, when a break occurred by
reason of too liberal receipts. The total run
this week has "been 1,600 head, the largest this
season. Prices dropped this morning below 4c.
Advices from New York are that cattle mar
kets there are sluggish at lower prices. This
advice had its influence in depressing markets
here. While lcal receipts this week are the
largest since January, through are the smallest.
Through receipts in that month were fully
double the run of this week.
IlOffS.
The drift of markets has been downward
Since Monday. This in face of a light run.
Prices are off 10c to-day as compared with rul
ing rates for the first three days of the week.
The situation is the same at Chicago. The
range there for packing hogs is $4 504 80. A
representative of one of our leadingpork pack
ing firms who has just returned from Cincin
nati reports that the provision trade there is
exceedingly dnl.. The downward drift of hogs,
in his view, is in accordance with the eternal
fitness of things, since they have been rela
tively too high all the past season. There is
very little, if any, margin left to pork packers
at present price of hogs. It is only on special
cuts that anything is left to the packer lor his
labor and capital invested. Said au old timer
in the cracking trade: "Hogs have been
on an average SI per hundred higher than
tbey should have been all the past
winter, in order that we could have had a fair
profit in our business. We could generally do
better by buying at Chicago than at Liberty,
where we would have preferred to get our
stock. But with the best we could do in buy
ing there is little left for our labor and capital
invested unless provisions should take a de
cided turn upward. Of this there are at this
time no signs in sight."
Sheep and Lambs.
With receipts 3.430 larger than last week, and
nearly 6,000 larger than the week before, mar
kets were lower and sluggish. Dealers report
a reduction of He from last week's prices.
Prime Iambs suffered least from the depression
ot markets. Thin lambs suffered most.
Following is the report of transactions at the
East Liberty yards for the week:

Chicago. April25. The firmness which was
-exhibited in the wheat market yesterday was
more f utlv developed to-day, and prices show a
further improvement, but the full advance was
not sustained. June was advanced c over
yesterday's closing, and closed Ic higher. Jnly
opened o higher, fluctuated within small
range for some time and then advanced c
more, receded c, and closed Jc higher than
yesterday.
At the opening there were pretty fair off er
ings of May wheat, but June took the lead in
the advance and May followed. The trading
was mainly of a local character, the outside
business not being on as large a scale as yester
day. The buying was credited largely to the
short Interest, with some buying no doubt for
investment. The selling was done chiefly by
parties who had bought at the lower prices for
a reaction, and not by any large longs.
A fair degree of activity was manifested in
corn and transactions'were at slightly higher
prices. Themarket opened at yesterday's
closing prices, was steady for a time, then ad
vanccd Jfc, ruled steady and closed He higher
than yesterday.
In oats a larger business was transacted in
the way of buying May and selling June at a
premium of Jc, but the amount of new busi
ness was small. A stronger feeling developed
early and prices advanced c, but increased
offerings caused a recession and the close was
steady.
A. fairly active trade was reported in mess
pork, and prices fluctuated considerably within
a moderate range. Opening sales were made
at 5c advance, and the demand to fill orders
was sufficient to further improve prices 10c
Later the market weakened, offerings were in
creased, and prices declined 1215c Toward
the close the market was steadier and closed at
about outside figures.
More was doing in lard, and the feeling was
stronger. Prices ruled about 2c higher, and
the market closed steady.
A fairly active trade was reported inshort
rib sides, and the market was steadier. Prices
more favorable to sellers..
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Real Estate Business Wonderfully
Active for the Season.
THE PUBLIC PAKE AGITATION.
Outsiders Hustling the Syndicate for Dia
mond Street Property.
BR0KJ2RS CONTEMPLATING A BEST
The slight lull in the real estate market is
sot greater than was expected to follow the
April moving. All of the dealers spoken
to yesterday on the subject said business
was better and the prospect more encourag
ing than at the same time last year. So
long as there is an abundance ot idle money
at cheap rates there is no danger that
houses and lots will go a-begging. The de
mand for business property is'as urgent as at
any previous time this season.
The public park agitation is beginning to
receive its regular summer airing. Like the
poor, it is alwajswith us. Said a prominent
gentleman yesterday: "I am in favor ot more
breathing spots; they are as necessary to
health as to physical enjoyment But they
should be located in ail cases where they can
be accessible to the toiling thousands, who
have made Pittsburg what it is one of the
greatest Industrial centers in the world. Their
comfort and convenience should be looked to
above every other consideration. The rich can
take care of themselves. Distance is no object
to them, as tbey have carriages to rid in. The
most of them spend the summer in the country,
or at the seaside or in Europe, so they will in
no particular need of breaking, spots. But not
so with the toilers. They are tied to the city
the year rouncu The location of parks, there
fore, should have exclusive reference to the
industrial element of our population. As there
is no available ground for a large central park
there should be a number of small ones dis
tributed through the city so as to be available
to residents in all sections. In fact? each ward
should have a park. There Is no Insuperable
obstacle to this, as ground could be secured If
only the right steps were taken. I have no
suggestions to offer on this point at this time.
This matter is of such paramount importance
that I hope the agitation will not be allowed to
die out until everything needed in this direc
tion shall have been secured."
Outsiders are so sanguine of the improve
ment of Diamond street tbat they are giving
the syndicate quite a hustle for property on
that thoroughfare. One ot them made a bid
yesterday on a lot between Smitbfield and
Wood, on which there is a small building, and
will probably get it, as hut a small difference
as to price remains to be settled. The amount
of money Involved is not far from $50,000.
The big vault for the Fidelity Company has
been completed except painting, which will be
deferred until the building is finished. It Is
the greatest thing of the kind in the city, and
one of the greatest in America. Several bank
ers in New York and Boston have been in the
city within the past few days to examine it,and
were deeply impressed with its magnitude and
importance as a receptacle for valuables. Some
of the leading local experts in the use of dyna
mite were called In Xo examine the vault and
give an opinion as to its safety. They all
readily acknowledged that it was superior to
any of the arts or tricks known to them. It is
understood that the plant for the manufacture
of these vaults will be located in Pittsburg.
The probability is that the Pittsburg Ex
change will be closed from to-morrow noon un
til Wednesday, to give tne memuers annuo
ant opportunity to participate in the "Vashing
ton centennial proceedings. Iu the present
state of stock and oil trading this would be
about the best thing that could be done, as it
would give the brokers time to count Up their
profits and losses and prepare for the new deal
that is on the way. The question will be set
tled at a meeting to be held to-morrow.
A New York broker has posted up the fol
lowing pertinent points ot advice as to stock
dealings, which will turn out more successful
in the long range than 99 per cent, of the aver
age "tips:" Buy stocks on declines it is not a
time to sell them. Sell when stocks have had
a rise, and the market is strong and every one
wants to Day. Do not buy then. Do not listen
to street points on this kind of a market. Sell
after a rise on a strong market. Buy after a
decline on a weak market. By pursuing this
course in his own dealings the broker has
amassed a comfortable fortune.
TJIE COLD WAVE FLAG
Still. Displayed at the Stock Exchange
Brokers Not on Tradlns Terms.
The cold wave signal was again displayed at
the opening of the Stock Exchange yesterday
morning, and efforts to warm uo the brokers
were fruitless, only one sale being made, which
saved the board fromanotbergoosc egg. There
was a little more warmth In the room in the
afternoon, when fine stocks were traded in to
the extent of 925 shares. Practically the same
relations subsisted between holders and buyers
as on the day before, the former regarding an
advance as almost certain and the latter hop
ing to get concessions by waiting. Both sides
were obstinate in maintaining their views, and
used very little diplomacy to smooth away the
differences. Prices showed no important
changes from the day before The prospect is
that the market will remain about as it is until
after the holidays next week, when there will
be a decided movement in some direction up
or down the former being the most likely.
The close was atabout medium figures, none of
the issues showing any particular strength or
weakness. 'Bids, offers and sales follow:

B0THING TO COMPLAIN OP.
The Situation nt the Banks Denotes a
Healthy Bifsinea Condition.
The local .money market" was fairly active in
all lines of business yesterday, checking being
a feature. A moderate amount of paper was
discounted at the usual rates. The Clearing
House exchanges were 2.346,642 02 and tbe bal
ances S547,GO0 68. Said a Fifth avenue cashier:
"We are doing better than at the Bame time
last year. The averages are larger. There is
no boom, but business is in a healthy condition.
Some people who expected too much express
disappointment; but everybody else is In good
spirits. Even iron manulacturers smile oc
casionally that their condition is no worse. I
know'of nothing to complain of."

OIL MOTES DP.
An Active Market Closes Two Cents Higher
Than tbe Opening.'
The oil market opened up strong yesterday
at 83, sold up to 65 broke to S3, rallied to
8 declined a fraction, reacted to 81, sold
down to 8 and finally, at the last moment,
made a spurt to 85X, 2 cents above the opening,
where It closed. There was good trading and
a bullish feeling at all the Exchanges.
A broker said: "The market would not have
reached so high a point here had it not been for
tbe exaction of an extravagant premium on oil
to make clearances with. This snap judgment
sort of business is a two-edged sword that cuts
both ways, as was shown some time ago when
oil was in the nineties." Another broker said:
"If carrying is easy to-morrow and oil fairly
plenty, it is probable that prices will seek a
lower level. It looks to me as if the top of tbe
present spurt has been about reached."

GAINS ALL ABOUflD. .
Wall Street Surprised by a Boom in Stocks
American Securities Strong In Lon
don The Entire- List Closes
Strong; and Higher.
New York, April 25. The stock market to
day was more active and decidedly stronger
than at any time during the past two weeks,
and while the aggregate of the business ,done
was not very large tbe gains at the close of
business are universal and material. The im
provement In the temper of the speculation
was somewhat of a surprise to the local traders,
who had expected nothing but dullness and
stagnation until after the coming holidays,
but the Impetus came from the other side,
where the firmness displayed by the American
securities, and the unusual ease of money in
London, have generated a strong speculative
sentiment on American stocks. The buying
orders from London were very large, and were
variously estimated up to 50,000 shares, and the
London favorites were the leaders in the mar
ket LouisviUo and Nashville was specially promi
nent, thongh the foreigners took lines of
Reading, Union Pacific, Norfolk and Western
preferred and some others. The statement of
President Hughltt of tbe Northwestern in re
gard to the earliness of the crops iu the West
and the harmony existing among tbe members
of tbe State Association did much to bring the
Western stocks to the front, and the South
westerns later became active and Richmond
and West Point, Missouri Pacific and Texas
Pacific which have lain almost dormant for
some time advanced materially on a largely in
creased business. f
Among the specialties' there were a few
marked movements and Pullman again became
remarkable for its strength, though the ship
ment of a block of stock to the other side re
cently has favored a small floating supi ly on
the street Erie was another stock which was
called into life by the foreign purchasers and
the transactions in tbe stocks of that company
were larger for to-day than for two weeks
past together. The opening figures were
among the active shares from if to per cent
higher than last evenings prices which tempted
considerable selling to realize, while the Chi
cago speculators and the local -bears resisted
tbe-upward tendency with some effect in the
early trading, forcing off from to J$ per cent
The unusually heavy demand, however, was
too much for them and prices began to advance
after the first half hour.
Later dullness set iu as the first demand was
satisfied, and the bears -drew off to see bow far
It would go, but while the fluctuations were
small there was no weakness anywhere appa
rent and m the afternoon the upward move
ment was resumed. This frightened the bears
into covering to somo extent, and several stocks
which have been dull of late sprang in to promi
nence and advanced materially. The best
E rices were generally reached toward delivery
ouP, but there was no marked recession after
that time, and the market finally closed active
and firm at about tbe highest figures.
The securities in tbe unlisted department
were somewhat neglected, and tbe movements
were confined to tbe smallest fractions, and
Brunswick was a shade lower at 20J. With the
single exception of Memphis and Charleston,
which retired 4 per cent, the entire list Is
higher to-night Oregon Improvement pre
ferred rose 3M, Pullman 2. Louisville and
Nashville 13, Manitoba Burlington and
Quincy and Texas Pacific BJ each. Lake
Shore, Erie preferred, .Missouri Pacific, Rich
mond and West Point and Union Pacific 1 per
cent each, and the others fractional amounts.
Tbe impetus given to tbe speculation was
shown most f orciblyin the dealings in railroad
bonds, and the business of the day extended to
a very large number of issues and aggregated
for all issues $3,378,000. of which Texas Pacific
2ds contributed $688,000. the Ists $157,000 and
Richmond and West Point trnst 6s $162,000.
The market was firm to strong all tbe way out

THE MATTER CLINCHED.
Judge Ewlng Settles tbe Craig Street Con
trnctFInuliy. Judge Ewing, yesterday, made an order
in pursuance of his decision a few days ago
in the equity case of William Mazet against
the Board of Awards, the City of Pittsburg
and Booth &. Flinn, contractors, with refer
ence to the paving of Craig street
He ordered that a decree be made declaring
the contract to be illegal, null and void, and
that an injunction, as requested, be issued to
restrain its fulfillment
ATTACHING WAGES.
A-Point of Law as to tbe Relations Between
States.
A compulsory non-suit was entered against
the plaintiff, yesterday, in the suit of Frank
Sweeny against W. W. Hunter. Tbe case
was an action to recover money that bad been
attached in West Virginia as the wages of
Sweeny, who worked on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, for a funeral bill alleged to
have been due Hunter.
The suit was brought on the ground that it
was unconstitutional to attach wages in an
other State, so that a resident of Pennsylvania
could not get the benefit of the exemption law,
when the money attached had been earned in
this State. Ne exemption law is in existence
in West Virginia. The case was non-suited by
Judge Ewing, but will probably be appealed.
