CATTLE SUPrLY ABOVE DEMAKDS. light Enn of Sliecp and Lambs, Sufficient for Needs. tut HOGS HATE A FALIi AND EISE AGAIN OFFICE OF PITTSBUHG DISPATCH. 1 Wednesday. June 12, 1SS9. J The run of cattle this -week has been too stron" for the wants of trade. Receipts on Mondav were 75 carloads, and about fire loads bare come in since Monday. Of these a little more than one-half came from Chicago. Markets opened on Monday 510o lower than rates of last week, and closed strong at 10c lower. The only exception to this was good heavy stock, of which there were not more than two loads on the market. Heavy cattle have been down to bedrock for several weeks past. As there were few here this week theie was no chance In price. Prime heavy steers have come to be a rare quantity in East Lib erty yards for good and sufficient rea sons. Our home trade no longer calls for prime heavy-weight cattle. In receipts of this week were two loads of steers weighing; from 1.300 to 1,400 pounds, and although they could hardly be called in thelargest charity prime.they sold about 10c better than last week's prices, be cause they catno nearest meeting the ideas of our butchers. The tirlee naid was SI S3. The quality of cattle received this week was very common, in fact much below the average. There was nothing really prime on the market, and nothing more than 1,400 pounds in weight. In the supplies were about a dozen loads of slop cattle from Louisville. Our butchers here are very charry of this Kind of cattle. A month or two ago a number of slop bulls died on the hands of butchers here, and since that time tLey have been righting shy of slop cattle. An old-time stockman said to-day: "I think our butchers will take more to this class of cattle when they get to know their value. They are generally in good order, and will out kill corn cattle 3c per cut iu net weight. There is a prejudice against slop cattle among our butchers, which, I am convinced, will be removed v,ben they havo fully tested them. The fact that there were losses a few weeks ago on this kind of cattle lias rooted a prejudice which will take a long time to uproot." Cattle markets have been slow since Monday, and a number of loads, unsold, were shipped East yesterday. The supply of calves, thoagh not as large as for several weeks past, has been in excess of demand, and prices are Jc lower than last week. Sheep and Lnmbs. The run has been light, but prices failed to go up. The uncertainties as to shipping facilities and unfavorable news from Eastern markets had a tendency to depress trade all along the line. A drover from Butler county said: There is no margin left in our business. Farmers are unwilling to take less than 4c for sheep through the section where I buy stock, and Plttsnurg butchers will not pay this price." The best price paid at Liberty this week was 4Jc for fancy wethers weighing from 95 to 100 pounds. Spring lambs had to be extra fine to bring CVic. The bulk of spring lambs on market ranged from 4Sc per pound. Hon. There. was a heavy run on Monday, the amount being about 31 loads. The result was lower prices on Tuesday, which is one of the off days at the Liberty yards. Tops sold at 4 354 40. Markets have recovered in part from the depression of yesterday, owing to light receipts to-day, and are active with 4 50 4 60-as the range. At these prices there can be little margin to sellers. Chicago advices to day show markets there about the same as here. There have been times within a year or two that packers could buy cheaper here than at Chicago. DlcCall & Co.'s Review.

Y.: "Ten years ago I was afflicted with a lame back. The pain was so serere that I could hardly walk or got about. Hearing mnch said about Allcock's Porous Plasters, I applied two to the lower part of my spine. In a week I was very mnch better. I put on fresh plasters at the end of 10 days, and two weeks after wards found myself entirely well. If I get a Tery serere cold, 1 sometimes hare a return of this weakness of the spine, but Allcock's Plasters cure me in threo or four days." th LOCAL . MARKETS BY WIRE. The Manipulation or Julr Whent Upsets the Mnrkel Corn and Oat Featureless Hog Products Storing Alone . Medium Flearcs. Chicago Trading in wheat was quite active to-day and the feeling unsettled and nervous. The course of prices was irregular, ruling higher for the nearer dellreries in fact, for all futures except December, which was easy. June fluctuated within lc range and closed K leaver than yesterday. July opened c higher, advanced c more, sold off Xc. then advanced sharply c, receded Ho and closed about c higher than yesterday. August and September were advanced X6Je and closed about Viic higher. A feature of the market was the comparative weakness for December. This future ad ranced ic at the opening, and after that sold off &c. selling from i to lc discount on July prices, and closed y,a higher than yester day. The unsettled and nervous condition of the market was duo to rumors of possible manipu lation for July. Some large traders have been credited with having made large purchases,and these rumors hare induced the short interest to cover freely. As trading has centered prin cipally in July delivery, that future was the most affected and thus accounted for the sharp advance. The short Belling for July had un doubtedlv been very large. Corn ruled quiet and inactire the greater part of the session, fluctuations being limited to KVc range, and trading was entirely of a local character. The feeling was comparatively firm. Oats were slow. The bulk of transactions were confined to local professionals, and prices varied Jc. Trading was fairly actire In the marKet for mess pork, but the feeling was weak during the great portion of the day. Prices declined 10 zyfc on the whole range, and the market closed quiet. Rather a light trade was reported in lard and the feeling was weak. Prices declined 2K5c, and the market closed quiet. A moderate trade was reported in short rib sides and the feeling was easy. Prioes declined TJglOc, and the market closed quiet.

The Presbytery of Allegheny met yesterday In Emsworth Church, of which Rer.H. C. Fer guson is pastor. Rer. D. V. Mays preached the opening sermon. Rer. J. H. Bansman resigned his charge of the Freedom Church, in order to give bis whole time to Rochester Ch urch as its pastor. Rer. George S. Rice was received from the Presbytery of Shenango, and Mr. H. H. Stiles dismissed to the Presbytery of Pitts burg. A memorial service concerning the life and work of Rer. W. C. Burchard will be shortly held in the McClure Avenue Church, of which he had been pastor. A minute touching the death of Rer. F. W. McNaughten was adopted. The temperance question was the lire subject of the meeting. After a prolonged discussion the action of the December meeting was re adopted, which was that the issue to be voted on be indorsed. A committee was appointed to confer with the Presbyterian Church at Johnstown in re gard to its recent calamity. The Presbytery adjourned to meet in the church at West Belle rue in September.

An Earnest Demand Comes Up for Rapid Transit Over There. THE HORSE CARS ARE TOO SLOW. Co-Operation in Farming 0ns of the Tend encies of Modern Times. HINTS FOE PENNSYLVANIA GEAKGEES Bapid transit is a luxury, and a necessity as well, unkown on the Southside. Just whythat part of the city has been ignored in this matter is a puzzle to some people. There is evidently a good opening over there for one or two traction roads. Carson street is admirably adapted to this system of loco motion. The river route to Temperance ville is another inviting field. The rapid increase of population cannot be adequately accommodated by the horse cars, and a quicker way of moving about is urgently demanded. Said a Southside gentleman yesterday: "We have outgrown tho horse cars. They are too slow to meet our requirements. We need quicker transit very badly to enable us to get to onr places of business without losing time. The trip along Carson street in the horse cars is torture to a man in a hurry. The com pany does the best it can, but there are so many humps on the street that it is impossible to make fast time. I think the company would make a big strike by changing their plant to a traction road. This would result in another advantage. It would attract population and enhance the ralue of property. This is our greatest need, next to good water, and I hope we will soon find relief. Travel, I am confi dent, would be heavy enough from the start to make such a road profltabl e. What 1 hare said are only hints, but I hope they will not fall on dull ears." . ' Combination of capital, the absorption of the individual in the company, is the tendency of the times. One result of this has been to won derfully cheapen nearly all the articles of daily use on the farm. A steel plow that formerly cost S25 can now be had for S15. A steel mower a few years ago could not be had for less than S65; now $40 will buy a better one. A self binder ten years' back was $215; now a much more complete and durable machino can be had for just one-half the price. The products of the farm, too, hare felt the g eat fall in prices; and farming conducted unac old methods, and with antiquated tools, will not and cannot be made profitable. Small tracts of land, owned and worked by the family, with the oc casional help now and then of one or two out siders, can be made profitable, and in the hands of deep thinkers and energetic workers made unusually so, especially near large and reliable markets. But only a few hare these unusual advantages. In Germany, France and Belgium, it has been discovered "that rery small tracts of land are detrimental to the owners themselves and to the best interests f those counties, and steps bare been taken within the past few years to enlarge, rather tban contract, areas. The reason of this is simple enough: To farm profitably at present requires labor-saving machinery. A farmer owning fifty acres of land, and baring, say ten acres in wheat, twenty-Are in grass, and ten in corn, and the balance in garden, cannot afford to buy the im proved tools to work these crops to the best advantage. He labors under a disadvantage at once, and to compete with wealthier neighbors, has to work the harder with old tools, and press into service his entire family, if he wishes to make a profit. The owner of 100 or more acres is not much better off in proportion, for the plain reason that his capital is locked up in land and tools, with rarely a surplus to buy for cash when necessaries are wanted. He works land that needs fertilization to be made productire. and with unskilled, uncertain and high-priced labor to compete with, the pro ducts of the virgin soils of the Great West, grown upon wide 'areas with the best ma chinery, without manure, and then sent East by rail at cheaper rates than we can deliver them from our own lands, some twenty miles away. Co-operation, says an agricultural authority, or the combination of a dozen or more land owners working under the supervision of a single head and a board of directors, would be found a means of solving this difficulty and ever-present problem. We have co-operative cheese and butter factories that are profitable, and hare been so for years. Our granges. founded upon much the same general plan, hare done great good in the same line of work. The co-operative workingmen'B supply stores of London and Liverpool hare been unusually well managed. .Their stock is double the par value, and none to be had at that, and their patrons are enabled to get their supplies at the lowest wholesale rates, and a dividend in the bargain. A co-operative farm company has been three years in existence in England, and, though not rery successful, still the projectors hare re ceived higher wages than are paid on the sur rounding estates, hare lived better, and feel much encouraged to continue. Their work is watched with much interest. The great advan tage of this means of farming will be seen at a glance. Families could lire contiguous; would enjoy more the comforts of town life; hare better social advantages of church and school; the land could be worked under an intelligent system of cropping, and each owner, having an interest in the success of the undertaking, would do what he knows how to do best under one head. Then, again, a large quantity of produce of good quality could be bandied cheaper, better prices could be realized and the market taken advantage of. The best ma chinery could be had in quantity and at low prices. The farming in England is mostly tenant farming, but in some respects this is a great advantage. The farmer pays a rent, it is true, and it may be a high one, yet he leases his land on long time, the permanent improre msnts are paid by his landlord, and his indi vidual capital is free to be used in working and feeding his crops to the rery best ad rantage. Having capital, he has opportuni ties to buy or sell such as are of the utmost ralue to him. With us we own onr land, hut with little capital to work it. We thus are un der great disadrantage. Pnt-4,000 acres under co-operative manage ment. There would be little fencing, systema tized work, a paying rotation of crops, and a better class of work, as all would participate in the success or failure of the scheme. Co operation is new to many, but it is destined, at no distant dayj to enter largely into our land managementand that to the evident advan tage of all . A NARROW ESCAPE Next Thins to a Gooso Ess nt tho Stock Excfannse. The stock call yesterday morning was barren of results so far as sales were concerned. At the close the familiar goose egg ornamented the board. It was all talk and no elder. It should not be inferred from this remark, how ever, that Captain Barbour is in the habit of keeping apple juice on tap. Said a broker: There are few orders in the way, and the market will probably drag along for some time yet. I do not look for much of a rerlral of the speculative interest before fall." Bids and offers were too wide apart to be compromised in the existing condition of the market. Prices were well sustained, and no attempt was made to force anything to the sticking point. Phila delphia Gas could hare been sold at S6, hut was held a point higher. Central Traction was in the market at 32. Citizens' at 70V and Pittsburg at 6 these figures being a slight adrance.orcr those of Tuesday. Electric was offered at64V with 63J bid. People's Natural Gas and Pipeage Company was wanted at 16, but 18 was asked. The rest of the list was unchanged. In the afternoon 100 shares or Pittsburg Junction Railroad was sold 2. Philadelphia Gas was a little stronger, being held at S7K Electric was weaker, at 64. There was no change in the tractions. La Noria was offered at liZ with IK bid. A broker said: 'The per sistency with which this stock Is held up shows that It is controlled by a clique. Every effort to depress it is met by a counter movement, and the sales permitted are just enough to bold it level.

The OH Market Holds lis Own on a Small Business. The oil market was quiet and firm yesterday, with a narrow range of prices. It opened at 84c, Y&c higher than the close of the previous day, but soon sold off to 83c, where it hung for some time with rery little doing. Better selling in the afternoon brought about a reac tion, and the price adranced to the opening figure, 8i!c. From this point the market grad ually receded to 83c, and closed with bids at that price. Tuesday ,s clearings were 1,406,000 barrels. Among the bullish influences at work dunng the day may be mentioned the increased firmness In the general stock list and a report that a process had been discovered for refining Ohio oil for domestic purposes. Sprould: Law rence's field news-was tn thiseffect: ' Taylorstown The Marshall Oil Company's Ellwood No. 1 well will be drilled in to-day. McKeown's Curry Farm well is through the Gantz sand and shows nothing but a little gas. Turkey Foot The well on the Campbell farm is dry. The Fisher Oil Company will commence operations on the Hooker farm. Butler The Shaffer Bros, well, on the Logan farm, is dry. This is considered a black eye to that territory, being the third dry bole since the completion'of the Frazier well, which at tracted unusual attention. A special from Cadiz, O., says: Berea Gritt well No. 3 came in this morning and proved a big gassor, with a fair showing of oil. By the ignition of the gas two men were badly burned.

OUTSIDE BUYING Holds Up the Stock Market Renewed Ac tivity In UcndltiB Louisville and Nashrille Scores a Bis Ad ranco Strong and Weak Spots. New York, June 12. The stock -market again showed a gaip in the total amount of business done to-day. but while the tone of the dealings during the greater portion of the time was firm to strong, it was not fully main tained in the later hours, and the final figures are something off from the best of the day. The buying to-day was largely credited to out side interests; and Chicago, London, Boston and Philadelphia furnished their quotas of orders. At the same time the selling to realize the profits accrued upon the recent rlse.was very large, and In the general list this prevented tho improvement wbicn would .hare resulted 3D 31 70W k; un 31tf 32j .... v... 17 .... 21 21 IS IX IK KH SIM 23 2334 116K 118J4 from the liberal purchases. The temper of the room, however, was decidedly bullish, which feeling was in a great measure due to the growing strength and interest in the Vandor bllt stocks, which again to-day were among the leading shares in point of activity. . The trusts, seem to have retired. J. torn, the first place and the coal stocks occupied the first position from a speculative point of riew. Jersey Central, after scoring a further gain of z per cent orer the besr price of yesterday, felt the pressure later, and retired losing all of us early improvement. The- purchase of the Adirondack Railroad by the Delaware and Hudson was the occasion of a further spurt in that stock, but, like Jersey, it could not hold the advance. Lackawanna moved within a comparatively narrow range, and ended the day with a small decline, but the feature of the "ay was the renewed activity, in 'Reading, which road, it was said, was making arrange ments of value to the company, and. helped by tbeadrancein. the price of coal, made a material gain as the result of tho day's operations. The dealings in the stock reached a high fignre and. large blocks changed hands amid considerable excltoment at times. The strongest stocks on the list, however, was Louisville and Nashrille, in which the dealings became larger toward de livery hour, and scored the highest advance of the day. The Grangers were not neglected, thongh their movements were made within a comparatively nhrrow range, and the decision of the St. Paul to abide by the ruling of the association no doubt did much to maintain the strong bullish feeling which prevailed among the operators. The opening was made at advances of small fractions except for Jersey Central, which was up M and while thetgeneral list was quiet the interest was centered- in less than a dozen stocks. Material advances were made in those' shares, however, with the grangers leading fol lowed by .the Vanderbllts, Louisrille and Nashrille and others. The coal stocks then becarhe tho center of interest and toward noon marked adrances were made by Jersey and Delaware and Hudson. Reading followed in the afternoon and the general list then began to show more animation, with fractional gains all over the list Realization, however, became rery marked In the last hour and prices yielded all over the list, though marked strength was shown in some of the low-priced shares, such as lennessee Coal, Louisville, New Albany and Chicago, Denver and Rio Grande and some others. The tone of the close was rather heaTy at some concession from the best prices. The trnsts were less active and showed but little strength outside of Sugar Trust, thongh among the other shares Brunswick was much more acTe than usual of late and moved up to 25, and Phcenlx retired somewhat. The final changes are generally In the direction of higher ngures,though they were for fractional amounts only, except for Big Four, which is up i, and Louisville and Nashrille, which rose 1. Railroad bonds were again active, though the large aggregate of the sales was principally due to the increased Interest in the Reading securities, and out of the total day's business of 52,592,000, the Reading first incomes contrib uted $383,000, the fours 8291,000 and the seconds 8165,000. The Atlantic and Pacific fours were a'sorery actire, and their sales amounted to 9161,000. The general tone of the dealings was again firm, but the changes in quotations were rery slight, and the important gains and losses are few in number. The most marked move ment was the further advance in the Chicago and St. Lonis consols, which rose 2, to 89, but which so lately were quoted at SO, a net gain of 9 per cent. This rise is based entirely upon the recent decision of Judfre OreRham whmli pnn. firms the lien npon the road subject to a claim Of only 820,000.

Home-raised strawberries begin to come in freely and are in splendid shape. Maryland berries are more or less delapldated, owing to delay of trains. Continuous rains hare a de pressing influence on trade. Eggs are firm at quotations. Creamery butter is a shade easier. Cheese is unchanged. Peas are plenty and dull.

The losses from floods in tbe Susquehanna have advanced prices here and in the East. It is estimated that 33,000 logs hare been swept away by floods, bnt most of these will be recovered. The prin cipal effect of floods will be taking from one market and adding to another. Here prices are stronger in most lumber lines, bnt in tho West markets are easier.
