LeadiDg Features of Week's Trade at Liberty Stock Yards. SUPPLY OP CATTLE ABOVE DEMAND And Markets Demoralized, With Prices at a Lower Level. SHEEP SCAKCE, HIGHER--IIOGS WEAK Ornci or pittsbubq Dispatch,! Wednesday, July 3, 18S9. J Receipts of cattle on Monday were 115 loads, and 10 that 4 or 5 loads have been added since. The total for last week was 72 loads, and with that number there was a sufficiency for all the demands of onr local trade. When 40 to 50 car loads over and aboTe the wants or trace are damped on to our market, as was the case this week, there can be but one result, namely, Gen eral demoralization of the trade. All stock men at Liberty report this week' market as one of the Tery worst of the season. There was a decline of all graues of cattle of 15c to 25c from last week's prices,, and mar kets were so slow at the decline that a dozen loads or more were at the yards unsold at noon to-day. Buyers from eastern counties were much fewer than were expected, and demand. for export cattle was unusually ligtft. In the supplies this week were 35 carloads from Chicago and about an equal number from Kentucky, the latter beinc designated by stock men, sutlers. The holders of Chicago-bought cattle, according to the common view of stock men, were compelled t ork more for glory than gain. It is doubtful if they would come out cyen on this week's transactions. Dry cows shared in the general demoralization of markets, but fresh ones were in short supply, and good grades were active and firm at last week's prices. Sfaeep and Lnmbs. Monday's receipts were unusually small, in fact the smallest for a number of weeks. Ice light supply at once stimulated prices. There was an advance of 1525c per cwt over Satur day's rates early Monday, and all on hand were promptly taken at the advance. It has been a long time since the supply of sheep and lambs was so quickly gathered In as on Monday. Many more would have found willing customers at the advanced rates. With an unusually liberal supply at Herr's Island, amounting to 1,651. against 1,083 last week, there was the same activity and nrmues of markets as at East Liberty. With the very heavy run at the former yards prices, wero 2550c better than they were a week ago. Since Monday there have been heavy runs of sheep and lambs into the Liberty yards, and prices bave dropped some 15c from the highest figure touched. Markets, however, continue active, and holders have no cause to complain over this week's deals. Hob. Supply varied scarcely any from last week. Markets were w eak with a drift toward lower prices. The demand from butchers is very light at this season of the year, and packers claim that there is little or no margin left them at prevailing prices of bogs. Heavy hogs are slow at a decline of 1015c since Monday. Light hogs and pigs hold up better. McCnll & Co.'s Review. The supply of cattle is heavy, being largely In excess of the demand. The market is the worst of the season, it being impossible to sell all the offerings, a good many going forward in first hands, and quite a number remaining over unsold.

Chicago Trading in wheat was qnlet to day, but throughout the feeling was unsettled and nervous. There was another flurry In July wheat, and shorts were anxious to cover and considerable interest was manifested in this future, which fluctuated very wildly to a point 3Kc above yesterday's closing, dropped back 2c and closed the same as yesterday The more deferred fnturcs fluctuated within a smaller range, advancing some e, then de clined fiJic and closed K31c lower than yesterday. The July future was controlled mainly by speculative influence, and it is thought there is a pretty fair shortage out. The rains in the Southwest were destructive to crops ai d helped to make tho short interest a little cautious. A moderato business was tnntacted In corn, but the close was a shade lower -than yester dav. There was a firmer feeling in oats. Mess pork was more active and weak. The market closed at medium prices. Lard and short ribs were dull and easy. The leading futures ranged as follows: WnEAT No. 2 August, 78W$79878K78ie; December. 6q80K79X79c.

A rumor that disintegration was expected to take place in Trinity Episcopal Church on ac count of certain changes in tbe vestry of the cburcb, turns out to have been entirely with out foundation, as the congregation is too thoroughly in sympathy with Rev. Samuel Maxwell, the rector, and bis coadjutors, the vestry, to furnish a clntilla of truth in tho re port! circulated. Mr. H. Lee Mason, one of the vestrymen, made a statement yesterday in regard to Mr. John H. Shoenberger. Senior Warden of tbe church. Ir seems that Mr. Shoenberger, who is now 82 years old, and who has been a vestryman of the church for 52 years, wrote to the vestry prior to the last annual meeting proffering his resignation on account of bis ad vanced age and his continued residence In New York City. Tbe letter was read and a series of resolutions adopted, the sense of which was that tbe unanimous desire of the vestry and congregation was Mat, even though Mr. Shoen berger could not attend to tbe duties of tho po sition, he should retain bis present position to the end of his lite, as his life-work in church circles had been done in Trinity parish. This action was final and so accepted by the vestry and congregation. Although not previously made known by the city papers, a change did take place in the vertryat the last meeting, however. Colonel Morgan was chosen as a vestryman In the stead of Major Joseph M. Speer, now Consul at Mu- nicn. j. ue retirement 01 tne latter gentleman from Trinity was coincident with a change made in tbe organistshlp during the second week in last November. A GOOD MI0WLNG.

THE GREATEST DAT. Business Steps Down to Let Ardent Patriotism Have a Chance. EX-MAYOR WEAVER KAILS A LIE. Plenty of Manufacturing Sites Around Pittsburg on the Market, and PKICES STILL TEEI FAB FE0M FASCI This being the Fourth of July the anni Yersaryof the greatest political event in human history which created a nation and sounded the death knell ol absolutism, es tablishing the doctrine of the equality of man and of the responsibility of rnlers to Sheir subjects, and giving a powerful impe tus to constitutional government this day of days in the heart of every lover ot liberty throughout the world will be duly and loy ally observed in Pittsburg, Church, State and municipality uniting with the indi vidual citizen to do honor to the great occa sion. The banks, Exchange and all the prin cipal storea will be closed, business will be subordinated to patriotism, and instead of the usual scramble for filthy lucre, there will be patriotic demonstrations, enthusiastic oratoryand a good time generally provided al ways that the weather be auspicious and the programme be carried out as arranged. Ex-Mayor Weaver, of PIttsbnrg. Pa., savs there fs no longer any land in that city availa ble for manufacturing sites. The lowest price of land situated for such uses is at least 118,000 an acie, and that Is more than manufacturers care to pay. Tha above item, taken from the Financial .Record, of Birmingham, Ala., was shown to ex Mayor Weaver yesterday, and be emphatically denied having made the statement attributed to him. On the contrary, be stated that there is a largs number of manufacturing sites for sale in and aronnd Pittsburg and along the lines or the various railroads at prices ranging from $500 to 11,500 an acre. He added: "I cannot imagine how the silly story got out, as I have never been interviewed on tbe subject, and certainly would not have said any such thing it I had been, as it is untrue in every particular, and calculated to do Pitts burg much harm. I hope the correction will hare as wide a circulation as the falsehood." . Another real estate dealer said: "The state ment that all the manufacturing sites in and around Pittsburg have been bought up or are held at a fabulous price, is ridiculous. There are thousands of acres ot this kind of property within a few miles of the heart of the city, on railroads and rivers, with natural gas and coal in abundance, and having tbe best kinds of shipping facilities. Some ot It is rated as low as 3300 an acre; tbe very best sites can be bought at 11,500 to 2.000 an acre. Land that is suitable for building lots, of course, commands ajhlgher price. ( "Those Intending to establish manufacturing plants of any kind should investigate for them selves, and not be influenced by a statement that was concocted by some person who drew upon his imagination for his facts. Pittsburg affords nnnsnal inducements to manufacturers in the way of cheap and eligible sites, natural gas and an extensive system of rail and water transportation to all parts or the country." By-virtue of her location, at the junction of two great rivers which form the Ohio, Pitts burg, already tbe chief manufacturing city in the United States, is destined to achieve still greater prominence in the industrial world. She combines greater geographical advantages of position than ary otherinland city. Distant only from 300 to 400 miles from three of the most important seaboard cities of the Union, and but a dayU ride from either, for the pur poses of exportation and importation she pos sesses many of tbe advantages of tbe cities lying immediately upon tbe seacoast. Situated In the heart of the bituminous coal formation of the Appalachian field, and on the edge of the natural gas belt, and" equally ad vantageously located as to the deposits of iron ore, her economic relations to tbe staple mate rials oT the Central States are uneqnaleo. As the natural center ot such an Immense terri tory, she offers advantages to manufacturers which cannot be equaled in the Union. Beyond her advantages as a manufacturing center, Pittsburg possesses another attractive feature she is the gateway of the West- From her situation at the head of the Ohio, such commodities as have a preference for water carriage, either on account of low freights or to avoid much handling, will pass through Pittsburg to reach tbe channels of distribution in the West and Sonth. This will be of greater value in increasing the population of Pitts burg, her business and wealth in the future than in the past, presenting another considera tion to the man of capital, the enterprising, far-seeing business man, and the sVilrul, am bitious mechanic, to locate in Pittsburg. As already stated, the, Tennessee river will be opened in September to Chattanooga, in the very heart of the mineral district of the South. The Memphis, Atlanta and Southern papers re gard this movement as the most important made for many years, and as likely to have tbe most far-reaching results in regard to freight rates, in which Pittsburg has a peculiar inter est. On this subject Joseph M. Brown, traffic manager of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, said tbe other day: "When tbe work Is done and the river is opened, a steamboat can be loaded with sugar and molasses at New Orleans, come np tbe Mississippi river to Cairo, thence up the Ohio river to the month of the Tennessee, and thence up tbe Tennessee river to Chattanooga ,bef ore discharging its cargo; or a steamboat can be loaded at Pittsburg with iron or any other products, aria can go down the Ohio river and up the Tennessee river to Chattanooga without breaking bulk. So steamers can come from tbe head of navigation of the Mississippi river to Chattanooga. Thus, you see, the clearing ont of the shoals will be like opening the railroad rate doors of tbe entire valleys of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to Chattanooga and Atlanta." There was a good movement in the real estate market yesterday, and several important deals were closed up in addition to those reported elsewhere, among them being an Oakland resi dence, the consideration for which approxi mated 335,000. Several capitalists were in consultation with a Fourth street agent in the afternoon, and the presumption is that they were laying plans for a large investment in realty. , ALMOST- A GOOSE EGG. Stock Broker Too Patriotic to Give At trndon to Business. The stock brokers were too full of patriot ism yesterday to get down to ordinary busi ness, and the result was a dull and feature less market: but the explosion of a giant firecracker now and then in tbe midst of tbe small crowd that fa-ed the blackboard served, in some degree, to relieve the monotony. There were no transactions at the first call and only one at the last, that of 100 shares of Switch and signal at 22$ a decline. Electric was a little stronger in the bidding, as was also La Noria, but the rest of the list showed no particular change either way.

Dullness la OH Causes Dealers to Sich for the Old Plan. The oil market yesterday took the cake for dullness, there being neither rnmor, news nor business to relieve the monotony. Borne laid this state of affairs at the door of the new deal, and used it as an argument for returning to the old system. This is being used with consider able effect in Oil City. The market opened at 92, and held aronnd that figure for some time, wnen it rallied up to 9 It then weakened and held .around the opening price for nearly an hour, with nothing aoing, ana lowara tne close soia aown to ui, from which It recovered slightly and finished at 91Ji a loss of for the day with a feeling of uncertainty in regard to tbe future. Cash was a trifle higher than August. September oil was offered at 92, but not taken. A broker remarked: "Oil is too scarce to make trading in futures profitable or possible, and I wouluu't be surprised to see tho Ex changes go back to tbe old system." The work for June in the field shows 555 wells finished, with a new production of 7,650 barrels, against 455 completed in May, and a new pro duction of 6,418, making a gain in wells com pleted of 100. and 1.232 barrels new production. There were 104 dry holes, an increase of 14 over May. There were 621 wells drilling and 2S1 rigs up and building: in May 590 wells drilling and 2o7rigs. The Southwest district, with 122 new wells, had a new production of 4,637 barrels, and makes the best showing of any district.

They Are Damped by Chicago, Which De moralized the Stock Market A Reaction Totvnrd tbe Close, but Losses NotJSntlre ly Recovered. New York, July 3. Tbe stock market to day was feverish and weak, especially in tbe first hour, and, although there were material rallies, the losses ero in few instances recov ered, and tho result of the day's operations is to leave prices for tbe majority of the list materially lower than but evening. Tbe news from tbe West this morning was decidedly bearish, the St. Paul roads having all resolved to put in force tbe low commodity tariff of tbe Chicago, Burlington and Northern, while it was reported that the same rates wonld be put In force to Missouri river points and other direc tions by the Western roads This naturally created a very bearish feeling, especially upon tbe Grangers, and at tbe open ing of business Chicago was a beavy seller of tnose stocks, wnue nm prices over tne entire list were loner than last night's closing figures. Liquidation of long accounts was in order, and the bearish feeling extended to tbe entire list, although the Grangers were the central point of attack, and Rock Island. Burlington and St. Paul bore the brunt of the selling. Tbe greatest impression was made upon Rock Island, which dropped 3 per cent in tbe first few mlnntes. with Burlington and Northwest ern following, each ot which lost over 1 per cent In that time. Several stop orders were received, and the long selling kept pace with tbe sales for the shorr aecouo;,and tbe liquida tion was heavier than has been seen in a long time. The general demoralization was in creased in the first few minutes by a drop of over 8 per cent in sugar refineries to 112 on the storv that the properties bad been mortgaged for fc0.000.000, and although tho story was offi cially denied only a portion of tbe loss was re covered. Tbe first spurt lasted about a half hour, when the reaction came, but the recovery did not bring prices near tbe opening figures. Prices crawled np, however, until Atchison, which had been beldfirnvduring the break of tbe forenoon, suddenly gave way and dropped about i per cent. The test then dropped, but when Atchison recovered, which it did about delivery bour, a firmer tone was shown, and the best prices since tha first decline were established. Lead trust moved up sharply in the last bour, but toward the close everything $2.60 per share, PIttsbnrg Bridfrn Commnv: 4 ner 'cent. fielded again, and the close was quiet and weak. Among tha . low-priced shares then were some marked movements, and Erie pre ferred dropped 1 K. and distiller's trust 2. Railroad bonds were quiet, tbe sales aggre gating only 1,154,000, and only one issue showed any marked animation, Chesapeake and Ohio 6s, which furnished J1SO,000 to the grand total. The market was rather heavy, with slight fluc tuations and Important changes are few in number, with declines rather the more numer ous.
