Leading Features of Markets at the 'fast Liberty lards. HEAYI BUN OF LOW GRADE CATTLE Depress Prices rrime Beef Steady at last Week's Kates. gHEEPAXD IAMBS DOWA'.HOGS DULL OFFICE OF PITTSBURG DlSPATCIT, "1 Wednesday, June 19, 1&9. J There were very few bright features to the live stock market at Liberty this week. Trade was slow all'along the line, and sales could only 1)0 effected at concessions on last week's prices. Even with liberal concessions on tbe part of holders, a number of cattle and cheep were unsold at last accounts. Cattle. The run was about 80 loads, an excess of 10 oads over last week. lathe supplies "were a large proportion of Etockers, and what a leading stockman terms lilgit sljppery butcher cattle," just oil crass. For this class of cattle customers were few, and 30Q head remained unsold at noon to-day, though holders were ready to concede 30 to 35c on last week's prices. In the supplies were ton loads of Rood to prime cattle, most of "Winch were bought by a representativ e of a Baltimore firm for export purpo&es. The price paid was H 25 to S4 50. Prime cattle held their own. on account of scarcity. All other grades are lower. Calves, dry cows and bulls are very slow, Baid a member of one the leading live stock firms, "the market for dry cows and bulls this week has been the worst this 3 ear. especially for ordinary grades. 1 hero is no show for low grade thin stock of an v kind here. The f aimers of Ohio and Indiana who take their cattle off grass before they are well fatted and ship to this market make a very large mistake and one that is expensive. They had much better keep their thin cattle on grass a month or two longer, and take the chances of abetter market than send them in their uufatted state to present mean markets. "These lean grasers come Into competition with Texas cattle which have been longer on grass and shrink less. There is a loss to ship- Eers. producers and consumers on the thin, alf fatted butcner cattle coming to our markets, and if the Ohio and Indiana farmer must take this grade from grass they should sell them nearer home as they are not wanted here. When grass i so abundan as it now is and markets are so mean, except for the best butcher stock, the true policy would be to feed longer and take the chances for a better fall market." Shrrp and Lambs. Tbe supply was above that of last week and demand below. Prices are 20 to 23c below the range of last w eck, and markets were slow at tbe decline. At last accounts there were a number of loads held over from yesterdav which failed to find customers even at liberal concessions from last week's prices. Tbe de lays in Eastern shipments have had a depress, ing influence on'our markets. Buy ers forEast ern markets a week or two past have been re luctant to take hold because of tbe trouble getting stock promptly through to destination. Hops. The difficulty of transportation eastward has also seriously affected hog markets the past two eeks. Regular buyers from Philadelphia and Baltimore have on this account found it better to go elsewhere. As the blockade is broken an lmpro ement is generally expected at an early da. Br Teleeraoh.

An Kxtra Session of the Illinois Legislature May be Cnllcd to TnLe Action of the Condition of the Cook County Insane Asylum The Wont on the Continent. Chicago, June 19. The investigation into the condition of the Cook County In sane Asylum came to an end to-day. Judge Prendergast reviewed the evidence at great length, pointing out the dreadful results arising from the combined influences of pol itics, overcrowding, brutality and filth. ".For 30 years," said tbe Judge, "this asy lum lias stood very low in the estimation of those familiar with the science of insanity and the treatment of the insane. It finally achieved the bad pre-eminence of being namea at the late international congress of physicians at Washington as-being the worst asylum on the continent." Pointing out the effects of political man- ' agement of such an institution, the Judge said: "It is plain that very many, if not all, of the evils existing in this asvlum com from the fact that the officials and attendants are appointed by a political body, the membership of which is constantly shifting and changing. To a great extent officials, attendants and workmen have been and are appointed on political grounds. The constant care of these persons is to re tain their places, and they cultivate the friendship of the powers that be instead of , itodying to increase their efficiency and ! skill upon the attendance of the insane. All the evidence demonstrates beyond a doubt that there can be no permanent remedy while the insane asylnm is under tbe con trol of the County Board. The present County Board has done better than its prede cessors, but the system is vicious." It is because there is no hope of remedy in tie city or county, the Judge says, that , tba: e recommends a special session of the State Legislature to pass a law putting all such institutions under control of tbe State.

Rochester and Pittsburg roads has been booming since tbe flood. All the Eastern business of tbe Pennsylvania road tap to this time lias been going over these two roads by way of Rochester and Pittsburg. MAEKETS BY-TOE. The Weather Still a Lending Factor In tbe Wheat Pit (5orn Higher nnd Oata Featureless Hoc Product! Qntct nnd Lower. Chicago There was less doing In wheat to day, and trading was more of a local character, with fluctuations confined within a smaller range. Tbe feeling was a little unsettled. The opening for July was K?h5 lower, and prices further receded He then rallied c, eased off again and closed K5c lower than yesterday. August and December closed KolwertDan yesterday. The early weakness was due to clear weather here, the sun shining brightly, and there was a fair quantity of wheat on sale, but good buying at the decline resulted in a re covery of the decline, only to weaken off lower again. Reported rains in the Red River Valley yes terday had a weakening influence. In the Southwest advices report too much rain, and harvesting is interfered with in consequence. The weather is still one of the principal factors affecting the market. Liverpool advices re ported a quiet feeling and noted higher prices, while London qnoted nothing doing and Paris was lower. The quantity on ocean passage was reported as showing a decrease of 400,000 bushels. A light export business was reported at the seaboard. A fair degree of activity was manifested in corn during the early part of the session, and the feeling developed was quite firm, higher prices being established. As the session ad vanced the maiket became quiet, most of the business being transacted early. The better lone was attributed largely to falling off in the receipts. Unfavorable reports regarding the growing crop from the southern portion of the State, stating too much rain had fallen and considerable quantities were under ground, also had a strengthening influence. The mar ket opened a shade below the closing prices of yesterdav, was firm and advanced c cased off a little, closing K5ic higher than yesterday. Oats n cro quiet and destitute of new or im portant features of interest, trading being light and mainly in the way of evening up contracts in the nearfuture. Very little interest was manifested in tbe market for hog products, and the feeling was easy. The supply of hogs at all tLe principal csiern packing ports was larger, witn prices favoring buyers, and this had a weakening in fluence. Speculative trading was confined al most exclusively to July and September deliv eries the latter attracting most attention. Prices for all the leading ruled lower, and the market closed qniet at about inside figures.

LOCOMOTIVE FIREMEN'S PICNIC At Aliqnlppa Grove Yesterday a l'lcalng Saccc All Round. Iron City and Holbronk Lodges, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, held their second an nual picnic at Aliqnlppa yesterday. Small delegations were present from New Haven, Dickerson run, West Newton, McKeesport, Chartlers, Beavet Falls, New Castle, Youngs town and several other points beside Pitts burg and Allegheny. t Dancing was the chief feature of the day and evening, and all teemed to have al oil vcood time. .. , GROWLERS SET BACK. Interest in and Demand for Bealty Steadily Increasing. A GOOD POINTER FOR INVESTORS. Difficulties in the Way of Securing Homes More Imaginary Than Seal. PLENTY OP CHEAP PEOPEETI LEFT. In passing to and fro on Fourth avenue yesterday I noticed that many of the prin cipal real estate offices were well filled with customers. This was especially tbe case at Beringer & Son's, S. W". Black & Co.'s, Herron & Sons', Black & Baird's and some others. One of the firm of Black & Baird said: "There is a buoyant feelinj: in tbe real estate market. The majority of our cus tomers are buyers and they want everything from a business block to a cheap lot. Busi ness is fully 75 per cent better than at tbe same time last year, and I think it will keep up all summer. This shows that the value of land as an Investment is becoming 'pretty widely known." The item which appeared in this department of The Dispatch yesterday, stating that tbe Pittsburg Plate Glass Company had just paid a monthly dividend of 3 per cent, making 17 per cent distributed to stockholders thus far this year, was correct so far as the figures were concerned, but erroneous, it appears, in this respect, that the amount so paid was not en tirely ont of the earnings of the present year, but included a portion of those of 1833, which were not paid until January 1 last. This statement is made by a gentleman con nected with the company in the interest of a portion of the stockholders who do not desire any deception in the matter that would lead to a fictitious boom and cause unsuspecting parties to invest in the stock under a misappre hension. The true condition of the plant, the gentle man stated, is about this: The stockholders at their meeting on the 18th inst. voted to increase the lndebtedness,,$750,000, for which a mortgage on the property of the company will he issued in a few days. This mortgage is in addition to an older one of $200,000, both making $950,000. From this statement it is apparent that future dividends, if any at all, will be small and far between until the above indebtedness is canceled. It Is a mistake to think that all the cheap property has been bought up. There is plenty of it left at very low figures. A Wilklnsburg agent is offering lots as low as J150. At Maple wood Park they are selling as low as $400. On the Southside, at West End Place and on ML Washington values are about the same as at Maplewood. AH ot these districts are well adapted to resi dence purposes and are rapidly filling up. They offer an opportnnlty for people of moderate means to acquire homes that should not be neglected, Wbother built on or not lots at tbe figures above given are a good Investment. This leads me to remark that the difficulties in the way of getting homes are now more Im aginary than real. People want too much. A young married couple must have a big house, with al! the modern conveniences elevator, electric bells, hot and cold water, and many other expensive luxuries. It requires a large income to maintain a family in this style, and the result in many cases is a mountain of debt and eventually bankruptcy. A man who allows his love for display to carry him beyond his means, and to embarrass his whole subsequent life, is to be sincerely pitied. - Many a promising life bas been wrecked on this dangerous rock, although it is prominently portrayed in all charts of do mestic economy. loung married people who affect brown stone fronts and expansive lawns, and turn up their noses at less pretentious environments, forget that their fathers or their grandfathers were content with a log cabin of two rooms and a ladder by which they ascended to the "loft," not attic as it is now called whera the dried apples, pumpkins, walnuts, herbs, and other articles were stored for Winter use. Many of the rich men of Pittsburg commenced life in this way. The clods have scarcely settled on the grave of one of the foremost men In this community a man whose success in business will be pointed to in coming years for the en couragement ofiothers. 'Traveling o'er life's weary main." He commenced his married life at the bot tomlived in a house of two rooms, kept no servants, and was diligent In business. He was not mercenary, for his charities were large, but he saved wherever he could. He labored for something more substantial than mere dis play, and succeeded. He often told me of his early struggles, and of hii difficulties in over coming them. The foundation of the millions left to his family was laid amid bumble sur roundings, where the useful and necessary were given precedence over the ornamental and fictitious. So long as true manhood is admired the name of William Semple will be held in honorable remembrance. It is better to begin at the bottom and go up than to begin at :he top and come down. The ascent of a rocket is a beautiful display, but its descent is of tbe most prosaic kind. It is a false notion of young people that they must begin where the old folks left off. Few men are too pooVto buy a cheap lot and have a two or three roomed house put up on it on the easy payment plan. J3y so doing they would save rent and be eaabled to lay up something for a rainy day. A BEAR DAI. Most of the Fnvorite Stock Strontrer, With Eloctrle Lending.

Tho BIAnotonr of the Oil Market Becoming Itnlhcr Tlreioine. The oil market yesterday wae "nffgood," in even a larger sense than has been its charac teristic for several weeks. There was no news ot Importance, and the trading, what little there was, was entirely professional. Several brokers predicted a stump early in July, after the producers' reserve shall have been dis posed of. The market onened tame at' $3c advanced to83JJc.. where It hunc for some time, fell back and closed at the opening figure showing a fluctuation of only c for the day. The feel ing at the finish was more like that of a man who Is lost in the woods. The wisest broker bas no fixed opinion of the course of the mar ket. It is as likely to go dowu as up and a little more so. Tuesday's clearings were 310,000 barrels. Features of the Market. Corrected dally by John M.

BULLISH TALK Worked for It Full Vnlne in Wall Street A Few Strong Features, bnt Renr- ly Everything Close at a Fractional Loss. New York, June 19. The stock market to day was more active, but became weak, espe cially in the afternoon, and prices to-night are, with but few exceptions, materially lower than those of last evening. There was a good deal of bullish talk heard to-day, but there seemed no disposition to buy stocks, and commission people reported a marked absence of buying orders, and this encouraged attacks upon the list, in which tbe Grangers, under the influence of further discouraging rumors in regard to the roads in tbe Inter-State Association, suffered most severely. . The Coal stocks were especially strong all the forenoon, but they also yielded later in the day and finally material declines were estab lished in all of them. The Oregon shares were the only groupmalntainingtheir firm tone, and they even scored further final advances. In addition there was no lack of advices of dam age to the growing crops, and there was a fresh statement from President .Miller in re gard to the charges of tbe Alton against the Sc Paul, while Hew rumors of the issue were of a blanket mortgage on the St. Paul. New En gland and Atchison wero prominent all day long in the dealings, but gave evidence of manipulation, which, however, failed to hold them up toward tbe close. Opening prices were extremely irregular this morning, and tbe same irregularity was noticed in the early trading, and whilo the Oreeon stocks and New England made ma terial advances, Lackawanna and others sym pathized to a limited extent in the improve ment. Dullness became the most prominent feature, however, except for a few of the lead ing shares, and the movements were small and insignificant. Toward noon tbe pressure to sell became more pronounced, and New England and St. Paul led off In the decline, but the re mainder soon joined in, and before delivery nour material losses naa Deen scored an over the list. At 2 P. 3r. there was some little reaction, bnt the downward course of prices was resumed in the last hour, and after another slight rally the market closed fairly active and weak at about the lowest prices of tbe day. There were about 26,000 shares traded in the unlisteddepartment. Oregon Navigation scored a rise of 1 per cent, and Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan 1, but Southern Pacific is down 3 Burlington 1, Delaware and Hudson and St. Paul IK each. Rock Island 2, Union Pacific 1, ana jNew England 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were quiet to-day and did not sympathize with the weakness in stocks, though mere were some luarseu losses estaonsneu in tbe list The general tone of the dealings was strong, however, and most issues are higher to night There was, hoWever, very little spe cial feature to tbe dealings. The sales of all issues reached 81,492,000. of which Atlantic and Pacific 4s contributed 8190,000 and Reading second Incomes 8131.000. Erie thirds rose 2, to 113; Ohio and Mississippi 5s, 3. to XMx Fort "Wayne seconds, 2.. to 147K, and Wheeling and Lake Erie firsts, 3, to 105 Hocking Valley 63 lost 2, at 66.

The President will visit Cape May Friday and remain there until Monday or Tuesday of next week. He will make the trip both ways by rail instead of by water, ad at first intended. The President has appointed William Wakefield postmaster at Humboldt, Kan., vice Mrs. Ella C. Kimball, commission expired: and Albert H. Fortuue. postmaster at Bloomfleld, la., vice Harry C. Evans, removed. At the inquest at Armagh into the cause of the fatal railroad accident near there last week, representatives of the Irish Northern Railroad Company, on whose road tbe disaster occurred, announced that the company would accept all liability for the accident, and was prepared to consider all claims for damages on account of loss of life or injuries that might be presented. I have no time to talk politic." said Gov ernor Foraker, of Ohio, In New York yester day. "I am about to start for home and have barely time to catch my train. I am not a can didate for renomination. I have no desire for the honor again, and believe it is time to give somebody else a chance. I am aware of the movement to push the nomination upon me, bnt you can say for me that I do not want it and will not take it." The lucky North German Lloyd steamship Saale is probably not the only craft that shoved an iron prow into an iceberg on June 11. A crystalline fleet of these lowcrine? shin destroy ers seems to have been drifting northeasterly on that day along the current of tbe gulf stream, right in the path of adventurous navi gators who risk tbe higher latitudes to shorten their voyage hither - from European ports. Other vessels report meeting with the icy fleet, and it is feared some accidents may have oc curred. Great consternation has Ticen created among the farmers of Marion county,Indlana,by the appearance during tbe last day or two of a small, green bug or parasite that threatens to demolish tbe wheat, oats and rye crop. The pests appear upon ever head by hundreds and planting themselves at tbe base of tbe grain sap the life out of It. It is believed that the backward portion of the crop will be utterly destroyed and the portions that are advanced will be badly injured. Reports from adjacent counties lnalcate that the presence of tbe par asite is widespread. A young woman named Hannah Heltland has been working for ber brother in Qnincy. 111. She recently left his house and walked to her home in Tioga, a dtstance of 25 or 30 iniIo. Sho showed symptoms of insanity, and her parents, with other Ignorant Germans of that vicinity, held a sort of incantation over tbe girl, sticking pins Into ber person to "drive away tbe evil spirit." The young woman be came almost unconscious, and in this condition she was bound hand and foot, gagged and placed In a farm wagon brought to Catbage and placed in a livery stable. Here she re mained from noon yesterday until near mid nltrht last mrht in an unconscious condition. The unfortunate creature was finally taken to jail, where a physician is trying to save her life. Pins were still found sticking in her person. A judicial Investigation will be held. The local option bill after hanging fire in the Michigan Senate for weeks, passed that body yesterday and will probably become a law as soon as it reaches tbe Governor. A nnmber of serious defects led tbe Supreme Court to de clare tbe local option law of two years ago un constitutional, and the new apt has been care fully framed to avoid these objection. On this account tbe powerot suspending the, liquor traffic in any county Is given to tbe County Supervisors instead of dtrectly to tbe people. Any time one-fifth of the voters of a county petition for a local option election the County Clerk is requirtd to call a special meeting of the supervisors and they In turn to call tbe election. If the county votes In favor of pro hibition tbe Supervisors have power to adopt a resolution prohibiting the sale of liquors, but are not compelled to do so only as morally hound by the decision of the voters.

Raspberries also are coming in freely. California oranges are showing up in good shape and full supply. Butter was advanced Y,c at Elgin Monday, which leaves prices tbe tome as two weeks ago. New York cheese was advanced o in Eastern markets at the begin ning of tbe week. The advance is looked upon by jobbers here as a speculative one. Threo big buyers in New York, it is said, are buying up all the cheese they can get their hands on In this country and Canada, having sold short in Liverpool. The effect on legitimate trade is already felt. Tbe consumer will in the end have to pay the damages. Continuous rains have bad the effect of depressing prodnce trade, as well as lowering quality of stuff in tbe market.

An advance is con fidently expected with the opening of new woolen goods at New York City. A STARTLING FACT. The diseases of the kidneys and urinary or gans are much more common than are gener ally supposed. Beginning by a weakness in the back, accompanied by pain, which at first may be so slight as to cause little or no'inconven ience to the persons afflicted, still as tbe dis ease progresses there are presented a chain of symptoms which eventually lead to graver difficulties: there is an in creased pain in the small of the back and in the region of the groins, high colored urine with nrickdust sediment, scanty or copious flow, with frequent desireutnd pain in voiding it. Not only do the organs themselves become organically diseased, terminating in gravel or stone in tbe bladder, diabetes or Bright's disease, often ending in that most fatal condition, convulsive ureamia, bnt are one of the most potent causes of rheumatism anddropjy. The physicians of the Polypathic Institute also treat successfully all forms of skin and blood diseases: also clubfoot, tumors, rupture, ulcers, varicose veins, piles and de formities. Please remember that the physicians of tbe the Polypathic Institute are not traveling doctors, but are permanently located. They have been established in Pittsburg for nearly one year, and hundreds testify to cures re ceived. Office hours, 10 to 11:30 A. M:. 1 to 4 and 6 to 8 P. M. Sundays, 1 to 4 p.
