HOGS RALLY FROM EECEKT TUMBLE Office of rrrrsmjRG Dispatch, 1 Wednesday, May22, ISA J The run of cattle was about 80 loads, against 2 last week and 70 the previous week. More thsn 50 loads were from Chi cago. The grade of the Chicago cattle was below the average. A leading; stockman Raid: "I cave not seen as many low grade cattle from Chicago Iot many months as those received this week " Smooth grades of light fat Lutcticriug stock were about op to last week's prices. Other grades were 510c lower. Heavy cattle were neglected. Buyers of ex port stock have been giving the Liberty stock yards the go-by or lato w eeks. The demand for heavy catslc is 'down to zero. A few oi this class were left over from lat week, and to-day some 5 or 6 loads were shipped east, having failed to find customers here. A part of these w ere still in lira hands. Ths ranee for smooth, light butcher cattle was SC T5 to Sf4 10. Some very fancy. w clgbing 1.250 pounds, were sold to a-Johnstown butcher at44. The time w as when heavy prime cat tle were most in demand at this market. Nowlightweights have the field. The sharp competition with dressed beef has brought this change. Our butchers aro unwilling Vo go beyond 4c, claiming that beyond this there is no profit to their trade. Sberp RndLnmbs. Supply and Quality varied very little from last week. Prices of last week were fully main tained. Demand was more active, and stock was well cleaned up at rates of a week ago. Both at Herr's Island and Kast Liberty this week markets were stronger for sheep and lambs than for anythiuc elso in lire stock lines. Buyers from Philadelphia and New lork were in sharp competition lor stock, and mar kets were stiong all along the line. Ilogft Markets were demoralized last week by rea son of the heavy run. At the beginning of this week receipts I egan to fall off and prices ral lied from the lowest point. Between Monday of last week and Monday of this there was a decline of 4050c In the past day or two there has been a rally of 1015c The rates to day are M 60(4 70. One of our leading packers reports prices at Chicago about the same as at East LiDerty. At the former place hogs drooped below $4 20 last week. To-aay they are quoted at $4 60 and firm. McCall & Co.'

Chicago Trade in wheat was slow to day, fluctuations were light and within a lower range, prices declining Jc be low the lowest point reached yes terday, recovered Jc and closed c lower than yesterday. The shorts bought some, which partially held the market in check. There seems to be but little inducement to trade for the present. Prices are too low to be attrac tive for heavy short selling. At the same time operators say they see nothing especially to buy on, and are awaiting new developments. Market advices were unfavorable to holders. Only a moderate business wastransacted in corn, prices showing but little change from yesterday, being limited to He ranee. The feeling developed was easier. The market opened at about yesterday's closing, was firm for a time but soon became easier, selling oft He and closing KKC lower than j esterday. Oats were In fair demand early, and a firmer feeling prevailed. Trading centered chiefly in June aud July, one large operator buying the former and selling the latter, and at oue time June commanded a slight premium over July, but later an cislcr tone developed and prices receded Hic An active speculative trade was reported in port, and the feeling was easy during the greater portion of the day. Prices were irregu lar within a small range. Opening sales were made at about j ceterday's closing figures, but a weak feeling was manifested and prices de- cuueu 4piaiiK. j-arerme marsei snoweaa little more strength, with fair buying on local account, and prices rallied again. Toward the cloe the feeling was easy, and prices receded l-l15cand closed quiet. A fair business was transacted In the lard market and the feeling was easy. Prices ruled K10c lower, and the market closed quiet at maiue ugures. A weak and unsettled feeling prevailed in the market for short ribs, and trading was fairlv active. Prices declined 12i15c, and the market closed quiet at inside figures. Tho leading futures rancea as follows: "jWHEAT No. 2 June, 80Sl679S0c: 73g673c: year. 724i7373V72c.

WE USE PEW BELTS. FIttsbnrc, With All Her Mnmmoth Mnchln ery. Runs by Cora, Ask the average man you meet how much leather belting, gum belting, or any other kind of belting is used in Pittsburg and Al legheny cities, and while be would not be likely to be able to tell you, 10 to 1 he would express the opinion that the amonnt must be very large; and there is just where be is off. As the most prominent feature of the city is its immense machinery, an idea has grown that it must use a large amount of belting; but it is because of the vast power of "that machinery that very little belting is used. Most of the connections on this account aro necessarily di rect, thus doing away in the greater part with belting. Hartley Bros. 4 Co., the only belting manu facturers in the citv, state that their local trade In belting Is comparatively insignificant, sack villages as Fall River, Mass . using more of this kind of propulsive power than ail Alle gheny county. They say the longest belt made is 36 inches across: but they say thev cannot tell what its horse power would be if fully devel oped, as mechanical engineers' calculations do not agree.

Dnd AFTERABAY WINDOW A Woman Kicks Because the House She Lately Rented Has None. RUMORS OP SEVERAL BIG DEALS. How an Old Citizen Missed Making a Great Fortune in Bloomfield. TIIE filDGE ATEKDE EAILWAT SCHEME Disagreeable weather made things rather qniet at the real estate offices yesterday, and some of the agents spent the time swapping jokes and,telling stories. One ot them re counted the case of a woman 'to whom he had rented a house at Shadyside some time in April. A daj or two ago she paid him a visitand demanded a bay window, the house having none. Shesaid she had alwaysbeen accustomed to a bay window, and felt lone some without one. Several rumors of im portant deals were flying around, but could not be definitely located. One was to the effect that a busiuess property on Liberty street, between Sixth and Tenth, had been sold for $70,000. Another involved the transfer of a property on the lower side of Fifth avenne, between Smithfield and Grant. Black & Baird sold another lot oa Boqnet street, Oakland, showing there is a movement in that direction. Two more of the Maplewood lots were disposed of by J. R. Cooper 4 Co., a Southslde lot was sold by Alles fc Bailey aud one on .'Ellsworth avenue by J. F. Baxter. Sales were made also by Samuel W. Black & Co. and by James W. Drape fe Co. The latter firm placed two mortgages on suburban prop erty. A well-known gentleman, who was horn and reared in Pittsburg, said yesterday: "When I was a boy of 16 what is now known as Bloom field, in the Sixteenth ward, was a farm with a rail fence along the Philadelphia pike, now Penn avenue. A friend of my father's urged him to purchase this farm, which he could have done for less than $200 an acre; but, al though be had the money, he declined with thanks, for the leason that the property was inaccessible, there being neither streets nor roads which would give free access to it. This was about 185a The same property Is now compactly built over, has good streets and all other conveniences, and is worth $100,000 an acre at least. The farm in question joined the Wlnebiddle tract on the east and the Wool slager on the west. Scnuetzen Park is one of its distinguishing features. The fine new cem etery gate, newly completed at a cost of $30,000, is just across Penn avenne from the center of the tract" The citizens' kick against the proposed rail way on Ridge avenue, Allegheny, is having the desired effect, and if it does not head off the scheme entirely it will give its promoters con siderable trunblo and involve them in large ex pense. Several Councilmen discussed the mat ter yesterday. All of them expressed strong opposition to the project. One of them said : "1 would as soon think of giving the corpora tion the right of way through the parks as along Ridge avenue. Besides, a railway is not needed there, the two in operation in the im mediate vicinity affording all the traveling accommodation the public neeaV' The Braddock farmer should arise and pro test. Agriculture is the most important in dustry in the United'States, and yet the farm ers have but a meager representation in Con gress, much Delow that of the British House of Commons or the French Chamber of Deputies, as the following statement shows: British House of Commons Total number of mem bers, 670; agriculture. 162; Industry, 161; com merce and trade, 127; professional men, 107; army and navy, 66; office holders, 47. French Chamber of Deputies Number of Deputies, SS0; professional men, 270; office holders, 95; in dustry, 61; agriculture, 72; commerce and trade, 62. United States House of Representatives Number of Representatives 325, ot Territorial Delegates 8, total, 333; professional men, 264; in dustry, 24; commerce and trade, 24; agriculture, 2L To make the showing still worse for the farmers, it should be observed that they form a far larger proportion of our entire population than is the case even in France, and altogether more than in England. JDST LIKE THE WEATHEE. Local Stocks Enveloped ' With a Wet Blanket A Drop In Electric. The stock market yesterday reflected the feeling engendered by the disagreeable weather which prevailed from morning till night. The strong spots were Pittsburg and Western com mon, which advanced to 13 on sales of 100 shares, and Wheeling Gas, which sold in a small way at 30. The most active stock was Pittsbnrg Traction, but holders had to make concessions to effect sales. It was wanted to the extent of 350 shares at 53. At the opening 55 was old and 57 asked for Electric, without transactions. In the af ternoon it was struck by a cold wave and dropped to 53 bid and 54 asked, but nothing was done in it. The depression was due entirely to the lack of a buying demand and the fears of smallholders regarding the outcome of the pendlDgsuit. The rest of the list was dull and featureless.

The oil market was comparatively strong yes terday, but not remarkably active. The fluctu atlons were wide enough to afford the scalpers a good opportunity to turn an honest penny, but they were not in a mood to take advantage of it to an unusual extent. The market opened with a bullish undertone at 8214, hi above Tuesday's close, and, under the influence of good buying, advanced during the day to 8 which was the. best price reached. It was then hammered down to 81, the lowest, from which it rallied to 82-Ji above tho opening where it ''stood when tho gong sonnded. A broker said: "To-day's oil market proved, if proof were ncccssarv, that none of us know much about It. I expected lower prices to-day than yesterday, but 1 was fooled. In my opin ion the advant e is a bull movement without reason other than to put the shorts in a hole. What the market will do to-morrow is more than I can tell. It may go up a trifle and it may go down. I think the latter contingency the more probable." Features ot the Market. Corrected dally by JohnM.

Feeling- In Wall . Street Grangers, Coalers and Gas son Take the Lead Nearly Everything; Fraction ally Higher. New York, May 22. The stock market was not so active to-day, bntthe tone of the deal ings was stronger, especially for the Grangers, Coal stocks and gas shares. There was some lively covering in some of the favorites, and a tew stocks made very marked advances. St. Paul attracted most of the Interest, and the steady buying In that stock was variously at tributed to different influential parties. The stock crossed 70 for the first time since the break of last September. The bullish feeling In the other Grangers met with somewhat of a check from the decrease in earaines renorted for the Northwester-! for April, and the' deal ings in that stock wo-e not so large as usual of late. The Coalers occupi. d a prominent place in the market, and tlutgh Reading 'was first among them In point oi -ctivity, Jersey Cen tral showed most strength nd rose 2 per cent on the expectation of a dividend in a short time, and the figures reached were the highest attained by that stock in many years. The market again displayed an unmistakable broadening tendency, aud several stocks which nave oeen almost totally neglected oi late were brought forward and advanced. The Gould stocks were also more prominent, and Western Union, after a period of Inaction, became ac tive and moved up fractionally with the rest of the list. Among the specialties there were some wide fluctuations, and Pittsburg and Western preferred, Oregon Navigation and a few others were decidedly strong, while Mar quette, Houghton and Ontonagon declined sharply, though a portion of the loss was re covered. The opening figures were higher and the London figures were also higher, but London was doing little or nothing in this market, and was at no time a factor in the course of prices. New England became a marked feature of the dealings in the first few minutes, large Eastern orders to buy being executed, but the demand for tho stock died away toward noon, and it re tired to a secondary position in the market again. Chicago Gas took the lead in point of activity In the early trading, hut it did not ad vance much and later retired fractionally, while the upward movement in the general list was confined to small fractions only. St. Paul and a few of the specialties showed more strength toward noon, although the mar ket began to show periods of comparative dull ness, but Chicago Gas again became strong after 12 o'clock and St. Paul attained the hlirh- est figures; the Coal stocks came to the front, and Jersey Central also developed the most de cided strenfth. The best figures were gener ally reached toward 2 p. m., after which reali zations sagged the Iisfoff, but the close was fairly steady at fractional gains In almost the entire list. Railroad bonds began the dav with a rather quiet business, but they fully sympathized with the improvements stocks, and later de veloped a -marked activity and many material gains were scored. The business of the day foots up 2,341,000. Denver and Rio Grande re ceipts contributed 205,000, Texas Pacific sec ond Incomes 111,000 and Ft Worth and Den ver firsts $137,000. EaBt Tennessee fives rose 2, to 108: Ohio and Mississippi seconds 3, to 124; Peoria, Decatur and Evansville firsts 2K. to 110; San Francisco sixes 2, to 121; Texas Central sevens of 1909, 8, to 50, and Chicago Gas firsts 2Jf to 100.

ABBEY, Corvallis. Oreeon. JOHN HARRIS, uenton ra. Oregon. A. HACKELJIAN. Albany, Oregon. THE OREGO.f PACIFIC RAILROAD C031PAN Y is organized for tbe purpose of pro viding tho State of Oregon with an urgently needed means of communication with other States and foreign countries by means of a rail road from YAQfUINABAY on the Paclflo Ocean, running through the central portion of the State to tbe eastern boundary thereof, a uia-nco oi aooutow mnes, wnere connection will be made with tbe railroad line already built to that point, as well as with those under constinction and projected. YAQUINA BAY. from its commanding geo graphical position and tbe scarcity of ports on tbe Oregon seaboard, is destined to be the fu ture great seaport of Oregon, for, among others, the following reasons First It is the ONLY PORT IN OREGON ON THE SEA cennected by a railway with tbe great agricultural districts in the State. Second THE OREGON PACIFIC RAIL ROAD crosses the four north and south lines of railroad in the Willamette valley, the great agricultural district of Oregon, and the Wil lamette River at Albany, gathering business to be delivered at the port of Yaqnlna. Third The distance to the Pacific Ocean from the heart of the Willamette valley by the OREGON PACIFIC RAILROAD is only 73 miles, while by tbe wav of Portland and the Colnmbia River it Is 230 miles to tbe sea. Fourth It is tbe terminus of a railroad trav ersing an agricultural country of nusnrpassed fertility, producing millions of bushels of grain annually and large yields of other agricul tural products, and supporting herds of cattle, sheep and horses. The railroad also passes through a country rich In deposits of coakiron, gold and silver, and, for 50 miles, through one of the finest bodies of timber anywhere in the world. The timber district has been preserved to this time by the absence of needed railroad facilities. Fifth The whole business of Central. South ern and Eastern Oregon will be carried ly the OREGON PACIFIC RAILROAD COM PANY to Yaqnlna. and distributed from that port, in about one-half the time cocsnmed, and at about one-half the cost for transportation, charged by any other existing or projected lines. The business Immediately available to tho OREGON PACIFIC RAILROAD, and tho large business that will come to it. as Itsline is pushed further eastward, nntil it reaches Boise City, and there makes connection with the present transcontinental lines as well as others to be completed, demonstrates that Yaqnlna Bay is to be the f utnre greatseaport of Oregon. iuo buiurapujr ui hue eastern portion ot too State ot Oregon, and tbe territory of Idaho, compels all roads crossing Oregon over its eastern border to enter the State at or near tha Soint determined as its eastern terminus by tha REGON PACIFIC RAILROAD COM PANY. With adequate ocean shipping facilities to handle the traffic there would now be available sufficient business to meet all the fixed charges. From the heart ot the Willamette Valley to the sea the distance by tbe Oregon Paclflo Railroad is bat 72 miles, while tbe shortest line by other roads is 230 miles in length, which will etmble the OREGON PACIFIC RAILROAD to hold tbe business against competition. As distance and time add to tbe cost of transpor tation it is simply an impossibUity f or compet ing lines to handle the business at the same rate as is done by the OREGON PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY. Central Flltrm - .tfcvi uciug -Miiwcia vuuiihrjr win oiavr Its timber and coal supply from along tha line of the OREGON PACIFIC RAILROAD in tho Cascade Mountains. The snnnlles of Mmhr and coal will be taken East on the trains golnjr to the great fertile plains of that district for agricultural products to be delivered at the port of Yaqnlna, thns securing traffic each way. Thlsglves, without interference, the OREGON PACIFIC RAILROAD the remunerative local bnsiness, and will enable It to do through busi ness at prices that will command its full share of that traffic. THE OREGON PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY will locate and own tbe towns along the line of its road, and reap the benefits resulting therefrom. The principal lands through which the Company's line runs and is located are owned by the Company, and amount! to over nine hundred and fifty thou sand acres. More than three-quarters of theso ' lands are open rolling plains and immediately available for tillage. Tbe franchise confers exceptional advant ages on the Company, and among them is the return to the Company, by tbe State, of all taxes levied and collected until 1900. on tho lands and other properties of the Company. The company has in operation ISO miles of continuous roaa, at tne enu oi wnicn it enters the timber tract above referred to; CO miles are in the hands of the Construction Department, and 40 miles of roadbed through the Malheur Valley are ready for rails. The whole line will bo completed by tha autumn of 18001 Steel rails for the comnletlon of the road, together with fastenings, have been purchased. Tho five million! of bonds now offered ars tbe remainder of tbe total Issue of fifteen millions provided for in the mortgage, and by an arrangement between the Railroad Co-many and Messrs. Barker Brothers A Co., ot Phila delphia, the proceeds of these bonds are held by that firm to be paid to the Railroad Com pany only as the work of construction progresses.
