CATTLE SUPPLIES ABOVE DEMAND.
Prices Wer on All Grades, Except Light
Butcher Stock.
A PBOFITLESS WEEK TO DEOYEHS
Office of PirrsBWRO Dispatch, 1
Wednesday. May 15,189.
The run of cattle this week was about 82
loads against less than 70 loads last week.
The extra run furnished fine opportunities
to the few buyers on hand,- and they failed
not to take advantage of the situation.
Smooth butcher Stock, weighing 1,000 to 1,200
pounds, held their own in price. All other
grades goffered a decline of 5 to 10c
Toe quality of supplies this week was above
the average Tor the season. Four or fire loads
were prime cattle weighing from 1,400 to 1,500
pounds. There were few stockers and few
were wanted. A few loads of light cattle
welshing 850 to 950 pounds, were sold at $3 60
S 75 lor feeding purposes. Though designed
for the butcher trade. It was the view of stock
men that better results could be obtained by
sending these lightweights to grass until tall.
The highest price paid for prime Western
beeves was H 55. The range for smooth, light
butcber stock was $3 80 to U 25. A Herr's
Island drover reports the outside price there
this week K HSU The impression received
f mm interviews with a number of the East
Liberty ana Allegheny drovers was that there
was little of any profit to them in their cattle
deals this week. The price paid at Chicago was
84 20 for prime heavy beeves. Add to this the
40c freight, and the margin left at M 55 was on
the wrong side of the ledger.
A leading drover said to-day: "I believe that
very few dealers have held their own this week,
and some have certainly lost money. The prices
we paid at Chicago were too high to do any
good here this week."
The featnre of markets which upset calcula
tions of drovers was an unexpectedly large run
of country cattle. This and the fact of rainy
weather in the early part of the week, which
kept buyers at home, bad a depressing influence
on markets. However, stock was well cleaned
up. This was done by concessions to buyers.
There was an extra run of calves, the largest
of the season. Receipts since Monday were
above 2.000 head. Ax last accounts 1,000 bead
were left unsold. The range of prices for veal
calves was 4c to iic From present outlook
these prices will require to be shaded slightly.
A Diamond Market butcher within a few days
found a countryman with a bunch of fair real
calves willing to accept 3c
Sheep and Lambs.
Supply varied very little from last week, the
total being abont 23 cars. Dealers differ as to
markets. Some maintain that prices held up
to rates of last week. Others claim that there
has been a slight decline. Yearlings were
scarce and held their own. Spring lambs were
in supply sufficient tor all demands, and were a
shade weaker than last week. Prime heavy
wetJicrswere5ctol0c lower according to the
average view.
Hoes.
Supply was larger than it has been for a few
weeks past. At Chicago receipts of hogs
since Monday morning were abont 80,000 head.
One of our" leading packers received advices
to-day that prices at Chicago were f4 654 75, a
decline of 10c within a few days. The same is
the situation at Liberty, where prices are 10
15c below rates of last week. The demand
from butchers has about ceased, and packers
are not anxious to buy at present rates, claim
ing that there is no margin to them.

Nrw YOEK, May 15. The temporary reduc
tion made yesterday in Wamsutta. New York
Mills, TJtica Nonpareil and Mohawk Acme
bleached shirtings from 10c to 10c has not
affected the tone of the market, the movement
being well understood and not at variance
with the general course of business doing for
fall. -On tbe basis of last fall's prices tbe mar
ket is very firm, with an upward tendency.
Orders for replenishments are now running
light, but there is a good inquiry from larger
buyers for next season, with some good sales.
No general trade has developed, but some buy
ers are here, and their number will probably
ncrcase with an early expansion of business.

Wheat Dnll nnd Lower Crop Advices
Favorable Corn Hlther-Oati Weak
at the Close Hog Products
Abont Bold Their Own.
Chicago A dull feeling was developed in
wheat to-day. There was less doing than yes
terday, and at times the pit was almost
wholly deserted. Large traders seemed dis
posed to hold off, for the present at least.
Prices evidently are considered reasonably low
and operators are reluctant about putting out
large lines on the short side, and at the same
time do not take to the buying side, and are
content to await' developments.
Prices again touched a lower point and the
feeling was easy. Fluctuations were slight,
being confined within o range most of the
day, but at close sold oft Kc more suddenly
and the closing was Jlc lower than yester
day. The weakness was attributed to a lack of
support. Crop advices are generally favorable.
A steady feeling prevailed in corn, trading
being only of moderate volume. nd most" of
the business was transacted early in the session,
after which the pit became rather quiet. The
prices were governed chieflyby local influences.
The market opened St yesterday's close, was
firm for a time, advanced Kc, ruled easier,
reacted ic, partially recovered, and closed
a snaae uetierinan yesieroay.
Uats were traded in moaeratejy
and a
stronger fpellnr prevailed.
There was little
desire to sell, and the buying by a local oper
ator caused a firmer feeling and an advance of
Kc in prices, but it was not "maintained
. . . -. . . .. .
until tne ciose.
A moderately active speculative business was
reported in pork. Opening sales were made at
12XG15c decline, and a further reduction of 5c
was submitted to. About the middle of the
session the market showed more steadiness,
and prices rallied 7410c, but toward the close
prices settled back again, and the market
closed quiet.
A quiet and dnll feeling prevailed in tbe lard
market. Prices ruled 57&c lower, the market
closing easy.
Trading was fairly active in the market for
short-ribs, and the feeling was easier. Prices
ruled 57c lower, and the market closed
quiet at inside figures.

AMERICAN L0C0M0T1TES THE JEST
Many reports have been flying around
since tHe Pennsylvania Railroad Company
commenced cutting away the bill at Law
renceville as to the object of the excavation
or work. It was learned yesterday that it
is to afford room for a roundhouse, which is
to be built there and the old one torn down,
so that the railroad tracU can be straight
ened and a troublesome curve done away
with. The building will be one of the best of
the kind on the road.
The movement in real estate is almost as
great as at the height of the season, March and
April. All the lots but one in the Hoffman
plan at Edgewood have been sold within a few
days, through W. A. Herron 4 Sons,toWest
inghouse employes, who will build on them this
summer. There is such a demand for lotsln
the Clowe's plan, at the upper end of Edge
wood, that prices will probably be advanced.
Adjoining this plan on the east Is the McKelvy
farm of SO or 60 acres. This will be subdivided
and pnt on the market next fall. There is still
talk of a dicker for the Singer property at
Wilkinsburg, consisting of a fine house and S3
acres. If sold it will be subdivided into about
200 lots and thrown open to purchase. Both
the McKelvy and tbe Singer properties are
among the finest in the vicinity of Pittsburg,
and no doubt there will be a great scramble for
lots when the announcement is made that they
are for sale.
The English locomotive Dreadnaught, which
was brought over by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company tor a series of experiments to deter
mine its merits in a fair trial with the Ameri
can variety, has been sent back. Speaking of
the results of the tests, which were numerous
and thorough, a Union depot official said to
The Dispatch representative yesterday:
"After a fair trial, the Dreadnaught was
found to possess both advantages and disad
vantages as compared with American locomo
tives. She saves fuel and makes fast time. on
long runs, but she is slow at starting and is un
able to get around curves without slackening
speed. She is not so substantially built as our
own engines, and is therefore shorter lived.
The workmanship is of the plainest sort, bo
that, in point of beauty, she ranks far below
the American make. These drawbacks wero
considered too serious to justify her adoption
as a model for American builders, and she was
accordingly sent home. While here she re
mained some time in the machine shop, where
the master mechanic took notes of her good
points, and they mayjie utilized in some way
in the locomotives hereafter built for our use."
.
It has been decided not to rebuild the Hub
bard ax works, destroyed by fire a month or
two ago, the firm having determined to, con
centrate all their works at Beaver Falls, where
they have a largo and prosperons plant. In
this connection, it may be stated that the
Frew and the Long interests have been with
drawn from the company, and that the grounds
upon which the works stood, consisting of
about six acres, are for sale, the price asked
being $30,000 an acre. The company paid 116,
900 17 years ago. Twenty thousand dollars an
acre was recently paid for ground In the imme
diate vicinity.
STOCKS ALMOST LIFELESS.
Very Little Bniiness and Few Strong Spots
In tbe Market.
There was a distressing absence of activity
in" the market yesterday, the sales amounting
to only 405 shares, contributed by Philadelphia
Gas, Electrio andXa Noria. BrokenVere well
supplied with both buying and selling orders,
but prices were either too high or too low for
them to come together on trading terms. The
strongest featureswere Pittsburg and Western,
Electric and Philadelphia Gas, all of which
were higher. La Noria weakened nnder the
absence of expected news from the mine. The
rest of the list was unchanged.
Concerning Electric a broker said: "I attrib
ute Its weakness and dullness entirely to the
pending suits. Tbe result will determine
whether Edison or Westingbnuse will have the
privilege of dictating terms of consolidation,
for consolidation is inevitable in any event.
That once accomplished there will be a boom
in the stock, for It represents an interest of
great public Importance and limitless possiDili
ties. The tlmo will come, in my judgment,
when electricity will furnish all our light, heat
and motive power. This will make tbe stock
tne most vaiuaDie 01 any in tne world." .bids.

LN GOOD SHAPE.
The Local Financial Situation Without New
or Striking Feature.
Business at the local banks yesterday was'of
a striking correspondence to that of tbe
previous days of the week. Checking was
slightly heavier, but the other routine lines de
veloped differences too slight to merit notice.
Discounting, which is the life of banking, was
entirely too quiet to suit, but still a consider
able amount of money was disbursed in that
way. To sum tip, tbe situation was character
ized as easy and healthy. The clearings were
$2,082,201 00, and the balances 408.619 55.
Money on call at New York, yesterday, was
easy at 22X Per cent; closed offered at 2.

PITTSBURG - ' DISPATCH,
and the price dropped to 82o. From this
point it rallied and sold np to 82c where it
held until the last 40 minutes, when it was
struck by another cold wave, which sent it
down to81c It afterward recovered a frao
tion, and closed at 81fc amid another
spasm of excitement, j The indications were
considered about even between a Bllcht rally
and a further decline to-day. Trading was of a
professional character; outsiders preserving
their customary attitude of disinterested ob
servers. Carrying was flat.
Field news was in substance as follows: The
Union Oil Company's Robert Knox No. 4 was
doing 30 barrels per hour. The Brownlee No. 2
well was doing 170 barrels per day. There was
no change at tbe Robblns well. The Uriah
Clark No. 3 and the Wolf well were due. The
Frey well, Brush creek, was, dry. PetrieNo. 2.
Crafton, was said to be-rmall. Considerable
excitement was caused by the striking of oil in
a wildcat well now being drilled on the Qarver
farm, about three miles east of Rochester,
Beaver county. It is believed to have been
found in the 100-foot'sand, but as the well Is a
mystery and admittance to it is denied every
body, there is considerable doubt about where
it was struck. The location is considered very
good, as it lines up with the Glade run and
other very rich fields in Butler county, and now
that oil has been foijnd there, the prospect of
opening another very rich pool is regarded as
very promising. Drilling Is still progressing,
bnt as it is only abont 16 days since the well
was started, it is difficult to form any idea as to
the depth at which the oil was reached.

Control and Give Character to the Stock
Market A Qalet but Finn Close
at the Best 'Prices of
the Dny.
New Yoek, May 15. The stock market
shows about the same amount of business from
day to day, with the interest centered in a few
shares only, but to-day there was a stronger
tone than usual of late, and some of the active
stocks are higher this evening. Oregon Trans
continental was still the great feature of the
day, and while tbe buying was as urgent as
during tbe preceding few days, there
seemed plenty of the stock for sale notwith
standing that the daily borrowing rate went up
to H per cent, and sellers three-days' options
were made at a discount of per cent. Sales
at seller 5 and seller 10 were reoorded at 1J per
cent below the regular price. The difficulties
between the Union and the Northern Pacifies
was felt in the market and made those shares'
the weak points in the active list, while Oregon
Navigation declined materially on very small
sales.
Tbe trading In tbe general list was mainly of
a professional nature, but the buying by tbe
Chicago party in ths Grangers was a feature,
and Burlington and Omaha preferred were ad
vanced sharply at one time, but the others took
a secondary place in tbe market Notwith
standing the last report of reductions in coal
prices the Coal stocks became strong.and Lack
awanna and Delaware and Hudson especially
scored marked advances, while Reading and
Jersey Central were moved within narrow
limits, though the last named displayed more
strength than the general list'
Chicago Gaf was again a feature andVrose to
above 6Sbecomlng one of the leading active
shares. The result of the sale of the Wabash
was announced late in tbe day, and tbe stocks
of that road became prominent immediately
for strength and animation, tbe preferred scor
ing a material rise for the day. Among tbe
specialties Pullman developed weakness
toward the close and declined 2 per cent, but in
no other stock was there feature or movement
of importance. The market displayed some
hesitation at the opening, and first prices were
only fairly steady, while Union Pacific and
Omaha were down per cent each. New En
gland became the leader at first, and moved up
nearly 1 per cent but soon retired and re
mained dall throughout the remainder of the
aay. cseverai stocks arooDert nelnw their alien
ing prices in the first hour, but toward noon
the Coal shares came to the front, and their
strength was soon Imparted to the rest of the
list which, however, made but slow progress.
Toward delivery boor the Western stocks
again became prominent and the market took
on a stronger tone than at any previous time
during the day, and Atchison, Lackawanna,
Chicago Gas and Transcontinental were ail
prominent In the last hour. The close was
quiet but firm to strong and generally at the
best figures. Pullman is down 2 per cent, and
Tennessee Coal L but Wabash preferred rose
IK, Omaha preferred 1 and Lackawanna
The transactions in railroad bonds were some
what larger to-day and the tone, especially in
the afternoon, when the greater part of the
business was done, was decidedly stronger, and
at the closo many issues wero materially high
er than at the last previous sales. No special
feature marked the trading, but tbe important
advances include Kansas Cltv, Wyandotte and
"fr0?18 ? t0 0K.aBd Texas Central 7s,
of 1909, 2 to 47.

cars to occupy Diamond street One of them

a street railway. In my opinion tbe proposition
is a fatal blow to tbe improvement It is so far
as I am concerned."

The Success of the Jog-gins Venture Tempts
Many Imitators.
SPECIAL TELEOBAU TO THE DISPATCH.!
St. Johns, N. B May 15. The success
ful trip of the Joggins raft from the coast
of New York has led to the formation of a
'Baft Trust" by English capitalists. The

immediate action on the part of the new
compsfny is tbe export duty of (1 per 1,000

it will remove the 'export charge, but if it
does the company will cut af Vancouver
Island and the mainland of British Colum

In the event of the Government deciding
otherwise, the company will confine their
operations to the American coast, in 'Wash
ington Territory, Oregon,. California and

Lumber.
The only new featnre developed in lumber
lines the past week or two is the Increasing do
mand for hemlock. On this prices have ad
vanced 50o per thousand. Oak has tbe lead in
hard woods. Poplar Is growing more and ropre
into favor for inside finish. Lumber dealers
are generally light-hearted over the fine bund
ing prospects. The outlook was never better
for a large volumo of trade. .But margins are
too close for the profits of other times.
