SHEEP STEADY AND HOGS DECLINING Office of Ptttsbcbg Dispatch,-) Wkdmsdat. May B, 1889. J The run of cattle has been between 65 and fO loads, against 92 last week and 95 the week before. A decline of 20 to 25 loads from the ordinary receipts never fails to stimulate trade. This has been the exped ience this week. There has been an advance .all along the line, and on some choice ibutcher stock the advance has been 25c per .hundred, and, according to some dealers' views,;even more. The bulk of the supplies were from Chicago. Those from the country were much mixed as to quality, ranging from very common to good only. The de mand was strongest for light butcher stock of good quality and fat, welgbiug from LCOO to L10 pounds. The range of prices for this grade was J3 80 to 4 15. A few bunches of prima cattle, weighing from 1.200 to 1,500 pounds, brought from 54 25 to SI 6a Poor stockers had hardwork findine Buyers at any price. Good feeder! were In de mand at $3 CO to S3 75. For the latter class there as a good number of buyers, and more could have been sold at outside quotations. A leading East Ubertv stockman, who has spent t ho past week in Western Ohio among stock farmers, says: "1 found cattlemen Gener ally disposed to hold back their stock from markets in the belief that they would after a 'while be able to get better prices. Grass and corn are so abundant that farmers are disposed to feed their stock a little longer, believingthat "there is bound to be a turn upward soon. 1 am of the opinion that these farmers see through a glass darkly, andthat their great expectations are doomed to disappointment. Time only will tell which is right, but my advice to farmers would be to accept the situation and place cattle on the market." All stockmen notice the absence of heavy prime cattle from markets this season. The competition with dressed beef has forced our liome butchers to buy light weights. Hence the wants ot our home trade demand a beef that Till not go above 1,200 pounds, and SI to the 100. There were verv few cattle at East Liberty yards this week above 1,200 pounds, and none that could be traced as high as 1,500 pounds in weight The run of calves was the lightest for a month past, and markets were decidedly bet ter. A few bunches of extras were sold this morning for 4Jc. A deck of common brought S3 85. Sheep und Lambs. "With a larger run this week than last, prices held up fairly T?elL Some dealers report that prices were a shr.de better than last week. But advices from if ew York markets were not such as to give st jength to tho advance. Said an old-time deal ,er: "I wish our fanners would keep their priceless mutton at borne, and get the best they -. for it there. So many thin sheep are duriped on to our market that trade is demorallz a, and good grades suffer more or less. The t rouble has been for weeks past that large quan titles ofa poor quality of sheep and lambs nav B been coming to market. These are a drag at any price. There is hardly anything meaner conceivable in the live stock line than a poor .jheep. Hoes. So ppiies continue light, but demand corre spfAds. Fresh pork has departed from most oT. butchers' stalls. Packers are slow to buy at "present rates, as they claim there is no money co them at prices. The range at Liberty to-day was d 90 to S4 95. A few extras sold at $5 00. tThe outside price at Chicago to-day was H SO. 'Our packers are strong in the faith that hogs must come down and products go up. ItlcCnll &. Co.'

Wheat Acllrr, Higher nnd Firm on a Better Foreign Demand and R&In In the Northwest Corn, Oats and Fork Stronger. Chicago Wheat was moderately active and firm to-day. May was advanced 3 under a demand from the shorts, and closed about 1X higher than yesterday, and Jnno sympathized to some extent, advancing lc, and closed about c higher than yesterday. There were reports of pretty good rains throughout the Northwest last night and this morning, and while, perhaps, the Northwest could stand more rain the present fall will do some good and in some sections relieve the fear of drouth. Bnt the firmness which developed was due to the rather active buyine at the seaboard, some S8 boat loads in all being taken at New York jesterday, and purchases to-day were increased from 4 loads early to 14 loads later. This would indicate that foreign buyers want our wheat, and had a decidedly strengthening effect upon the market There was pretty free selling on the early advance, which caused a reaction from top prices then reached, some of the prominent large traders being credited with being free sellers, but the wheat was ab sorbed by some one, and withal a strong undertone existed. Shorts covered rather freely, taking fright at the action of the mar ket, and assisted the turn in prices above 79c for July. Quite activo trade was reported in corn and transactions were at higher prices. The feel ing developed was stronger, which was at tributed largely tothe active shipping demand, smaller receipts than anticipated and covering by local shorts. The market opened a shade above closing prices of yesterday, was firm and sold up JKc cased oft K6c, again ruled stronger and advanced Kc, ruled steady and closed Jc higher than yesterday. Oats were fairly active, stronger and higher. The decline noted yesterday being more than regained as prices advanced Hc and the ap preciation was well maintained to the close. The strength was attributable to the advance in corn and wheat, continued dry weather in this vicinity and a better demand from the shorts, who sold yesterday on prospects of rain. Specnlativo trading was moderately active in mess pork and the feeling was stronger. Early the feeling was firm and prices were advanced 5'Xc. Later a weaker feeling was developed and prices receded 1012c. At the decline the demand improved nd prices wero ad vanced 20c About the middle of the session a decline pf 1012c was again submitted, but the close market was quite strong and prices suddenly advanced 2530c and closed rather steady. A comparatively light trade was reported in lard and the market was stronger. Prices were advanced 710c, and the market closed steady. Qnite a good trade was reported in short rib sides. Prices were advanced 2Koc, and mod erately well supported to the close.

A Big Conns for a Charter Eefused by the State Legislature. HOW THE DimCULTI WAS MET. Financiering Prosecuted Under Discourag ing Ciscumstances. PLUCK AND BRAINS ASE REWARDED The Bank of Pittsburg, the oldest institu tion of the kind in the city, is well known in financial circles throughout the length and breadth of the country. Its history has been written so often as to be familiar to almost every citizen, bnt now and then something new in connection with it is found in old documents or personal reminis cences which imparts a fresh Interest to the story. The Bank of Pittsburg had its conception In 1610. In that year of commercial gloom and uncertainty, the second of President Madison's administration, Napoleon had issued a decree that all American vessels and cargoes arriving in any of the ports of France or countries occu pied by French troops must be seized and con demned. This was revoked soon after by the President's proclamation. But the feeling of indignation, especially against England, and the embargo passed during President Jeffer son's administration, was followed by a procla mation of President Madison interdicting commercial intercourse with Great Britain. At this critical peiiod the manufacturers of Pittsburg, desiring to establish a bank to afford them financial facilities, which we. re much needed, offered tothe Legislature of the State a large bonus as a compensation for the privilege of a charter. An organiza tion was formed with this object In view, com posed of the following named persons: Will lam Wilkins, President, and Abraham Kirk patnek, William McCandless, John Darragh, James Martin, Thomas Cromwell, William Woods, Nicholas Cunningham, Ephralm Pent land, Robert Simpson, George Sutton, Henry Fulton, Joseph McClurg, Robert Spencer, Francis B. Holmes, John Scull, Thomas Bracken, William Hays, James Morrison, James Riddle and Jeremiah Barker, directors. They bad prepared the form of a bank charter with $1,000,000 capital, and offered to transfer to the State 810,000 of tho capital stock, or $20,000 to each of the two proposed bridge.) across the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, and also $20,000 toward turnpiking the great State road; also $45,000 for such public improvements as the Legislature should approve. The proposal was declined, on the ground that it would be impossible to raise snch an amount of capital in the depressed condition of the business in terests of the city. As an alternative the organization resolved to carry on the business of banking without the aid of the State, and formed an individual lia bility partnership under the name of "The PittsbnrgManufacturingCompany." This was in 1812, the year when war was declared against Great Britain. The association was offloered by William Wilkins, President; Alexander Johnston, Jr., Chief Clerk, and George An shutz, James Morrison, John Darrah, C. Cowan, George Sutton, Thomas Cromwell and James Riddle, directors. The association was emi nently successful, being of great benefit to the businessmen of the city. Besides banklngit did a little In Insurance. On July 23, 1812, the first policy was issued to protect a new mansion erected by William Wilkins on the site now oc cupied by the Monongahela House. In 1S14 another and successful effort was made to obtain a chatter for the original pro ject, "The Bank of Pittsburg." It passed the Legislature and was signed by GovernorBimon Snyder. The Pittsburg Manufacturing Com pany was closed up and its books, means and muniments transferred to the Bank of Pitts burg, formerly the nucleus of its new capital and business. Other stockholders were soon added. The capital was nominally $500,000, but owing to the scarcity of money in consequence of the war, and the commercial revulsion which followed it in 1820, and long after, the whole of the capital was -not called in until 1834, when John Harper became an officer of the institution. He has been connected with the bank as cashier and president ever since. Although nearly 80 years old, he is bail and hearty, visiting the bank every day and pre siding at the directors' meetings. Not one bank officer or director who was in the Bank of Pittsburg or in the Branch Bank of the United States when Mr. Harper entered office is alive to-day. George Shiras, Sr., is the last of the stockholders whose names were en rolled on the dividend book of 1832. During the 77 years of its existence the bank has never failed to pay a semi-annual dividend. An at tempt was made about ISfll to reorganize the institution under the national banking law, but it failed through the opposition of the female stockholders, who were, and still are, largely in the majority. ON A BETTER FOOTING. Pittsburg nnd Western Preferred Btakes n BIk Jorap Philadelphia Gas Stronger. The feature of the local stock market yester day was the strength shown by Pittsburg and Western Railroad preferred stock. It advanced 53 50 a share here and $4 in New York. This was;rightly attributed to the improved condi tion of the road and consequently increased earnings. It was sparingly off ered at the ad vance and closed strong. Philadelphia Gas was higher and active as the result of a nat ural reaction from the depression under which it had been laboringfor several days. The first sale of it was at 36 and the last at 8 It closed firm at the top price. Switch and Signal was lower, weak and neg lected. The Tractions were practically lifeless, the only movement in them being a sale of 34 shares of Central at 30. Electric was surpris ingly weak, owing, it was said,, to the uncer tainties attending the outcome of the pending litigation. The Mining stocks were scarcely thought of. The total sales amounted to 649 shares. Bids, offers and sales are appended: MORXINO. .ATTEBNOOT. I Bid. Asked. Bid. Asked. Pitts. Pet. S. AM. Ex.. SCO S25 S10 SIS Allegheny Nat. -; Commercial M.

Hojer for $3,360, or $70 per front foot LOSSES RECOVERED. Tho Bulls Slake a Bash and Elevate the Stock Market Nearly Everything Higher Pittsbnrs and West era Preferred Leads the Advance. NrwY0EK,May8. The stock market to day was less active but stronger than it was yesterday, and, as a rule, all the losses were re covered, and in some cases fractions in addi tion. The opening this morning was again feverish and irregular, the unsettled feeling of yesterday not disappearing until well into the forenoon, when the attitude of the traders be came more pronounced upon the bull side. The majority of the list was xrom to per cent liigher than last evening's quotations, but the market was extremely narrow, and outside of St. Paul, which.early took the lead of the list, the transactions were almost entirely prof es sional and the fluctuations were confined to the smallest limits. There was considerable pressure especially upon the coal shares, and in Reading the only real weakness was shown, though the loss was to per cent, which was the extreme range of the stock for the day, the concessions in the early trading bringing in buyers who soon brought about a decided change in the temper of the speculation. Atchison assumed, a secondary position ia the market after tho first hour, and St. Paul bo came the great feature of the day, the buying of that stock being specially gooa and it was said to be for the account of a large banking house who are seeking to control the election and the advance In the stock was well main tained until the close. Good foreign buying of Lako Shore brought it to the front in the after noon, but the other Vanderbilts were still dnll and immovable without features of any kind. Among the specialties there were a few very wide movements, most prominent being the sudden rise of 1 percent in Pittsburg and Western preferred, most of which was retained at the close. Pullman after a small decline rose sharply and Chicago gas again crossed 60 and closed above that figure. Toward 2 o'clock there was the usual realizing movement, bat the concessions outside of Atchison and the specialties were insignificant and the market recovered its tone in the last hour, closing quiet and steady to firm at but little under the best prices of the day. Pittsburg and Western preferred closed with a gain of 4 per cent, Chicago Gas 1, Pullman L and St. Paul , but the other changes are for small fractions only. Railroad bonds were more quiet and the tone of the dealings underwent a change for the worse, for the first time in many days, the final changes showing a majority of losses for the day. The total transactions foot up $l,86L00O, of which $152,000 were in the Texas Pacific second incomes. The St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas issues wero the weakest Bpot in the list upon tho trouble over the payment of the cou pons on the first mortgage bonds. The weak ness was not confined to those securities, how ever, but extended to all portions of the list, and among the most marked losses were. St, Louis. Arkansas and Texas firsts, 8, at 88; the seconds, 3, at 27, and others fractions. The following table snows the prices of active stocks on the New York Stock Exchange.

UH M INVOLVING MILLIONS. Arguments Beaton in That Great Patent Salt Did Westing-house Infringe? Evi dence on Multiple Wires. The argument in the case of the Edison Electric Light Company against the West-inghouse-Church-Kerr Company to restrain them from the alleged infringement on a patent was taken up before Judge McKen nan yesterday. Messrs. Bfchard N. Dyer, Esq., and Edward H. Eodgers, Esq., of New York, represent the Edison Company and Messrs. Bakewell 4 Kerr the Westinghouse Company. Mr. Dyer opened the case and' argued for nearly five hours, producing many drawings to illustrate his points, showing an alleged in fringement on the Edison patent. The case is one involving the use of what is known as the multiple wire system of electrical distribution. The suit was originally brought in New Jersey, and is to restrain the Westing house Company from nsing tho, system in any part of the United States. The defendants claim that there is no in fringement whatever, and show by a number of patents that the system is an old one. Tboro are now two patents, and each party is limited to the specific claims of their patents. The de fendants also claim that their patent is entire ly of different construction from that of the plaintiffs. The argument will not be finished for a conple of days. hO WOXDEIt HE'S ACQUITTED. The Most Innocent and HarmleM Old Ulan Tried for Months Goes) Free. In the case of Joel Regelman, of Mercer county, who was put on trial in the United States District Court yesterday, for complicity with James Allen for manufacturing coun terfeit money, some funny things were devel oped. The attorney for the defense set un the plea that Begelman was a man of unsound mind, who was childlike in his manner, and could easily be led into doing right or wrong, on the representation of others. On this point witnesses were examined, and their testimony went to show that the father of the prisoner left him a well-stocked and an ex cellent farm of 60 acres, all of which has been Squandered in a most foolish manner. At one time a traveler came along who convinced Begelman that be was in every way qualified to become a first-class dentist, and. on promise to make him one, secured $200. One week's work convinced the prisoner and his tntor that dentistry was not his forte, so he sold the prisoner a patent for "extinguishing files," for which he paid about $200, and the fly extinguisher proved to be absolutely worthless. Another party sold him a patent washing ma chine that was nothing more than a few boards nailed together, and of no more value than a scrubbing brush. It was also shown that tho prisoner was the victim of all kinds of sharpers, who fleeced him of his money, and he is now pennlless,with a lame family dependent upon him for support. The jury was only out five minutes and re turned a verdict of acquittal. Silting from Justice. John C. Finch yesterday entered a suit in admiralty against the Bteamboat Seven Sons, to recover J5Q0 loaned to tho owners to make repairs on thefboat. In the suit of the Bev. H.

The jury is out in the caso of B. F. Crowe, tried on a charge of forgery, preferred against him by James L. Orr, a real estate agent in Allegheny. Crowe, it was claimed, purchased the business of Orr, and in winding up the transaction, forged the name of his brother, J. M. Crowe, to a nole and the transfer of a mort gage. The amount involved was $2,500. The United States District grand jury yester day found true bills against J. W. Brophy, who was postmaster at Mt Carmol, Pa., for issuing a money order without receiving any money therefor; a trne bill was also returned in the case of Sarah and Nora Buchanan, Kate FThrfinir anri Pafrlrk Rrnwn for sendlnfrbad let. ters through tho mall; also against George Guy auc ot nttstoo, ior opening a mnur conuuaiuK a money order.
