Thubsday. J air 18, 1889. J
It appears from the accompanying report
that there hare been larger receipts at East
Liberty yards than last week in all lines.
As a result, cattle and steep have declined
in price on all but choice grades of 15
20c. Sheep have declined even more than
this. Light butcher cattle, weighing about
1.200 pounds, are fairlj up to last week's prices
on account of tbeir scarcity.
Quality of cattle received this week was be
low the average. There were. In fact, no
strictly prime steers In the supplies, and the
heaviest offered did not exceed 1,400 pounds in
weight.
Following is the report of the week's trans

Products for Faro and Garden.
There is no longer a doubt that we are to
have a second season of abundance in farm
and garden products throughout the region of
which Pittsburg is che center. Representatives
of two different sections of Western Pennsyl
vania, who were seen to-day, tell the same
story of abundant crops, each confirming the
other in all essentials, The following facts
were elicited:
The wheat crop has been generally gathered
in, and in good shape. The average yield
through the territories with which the persons
interviewed are familiar is five bnsbels to the
acre above the averazc. Last year the average
was only ten bushels. It Is considered
a first-rate yield wben 18 bushels to the acre are
obtained. This year the average is 20 bushels.
The yield of oats promises fully as well as
wheat, and 40 bushels to the acre is expected.
Last year, on account of drought, there was an
unusually short crop of oats, and the average
did not exceed 20 bushels to the acre in this
section. As to hay, the yield promises to beat
all former records. Corn did not get a first
class start, owing to continuous rains, and had
a hard struggle in its efforts to get above the
ground. Of late it has been doing well, and,
with favorable fall weather, will come out all
right. Vegetables of all kinds are doing first
rate. About all in the fruit lino which
will fall below last year In quantity
will be apples. Last jear was a very
abundant jear in thi line. There promises
to be enough and to spare this season. Tne
outlook is for a short crop of poultry, particu
larly turkeys. Many were chilled to death in
the damp, cold spring weather, and the lost
time has not been recovered. Said a peddler
wbo deals largely in poultry, to-day: "I look for
a scarcity of turkeys and all pqultry the
coming fall. I do not remember to have seen
chickens as generally poor in quality at this
time of the year as they are now."

issue of a third mortcace. Tbe new promise

Wheat Drops a Few Fractions on a DIspo.
cltlon to Realize Cora and Oats
Steady Only Local Trading
la Hoc Prodacta,
CmcAoo-Early in the day there was fair
trading in wheat, quite a number of buying
and selling orders being ou the market at the
opening, but after that trading was slow and
the market ruled quiet, accompanied with an
easier feeling. July fluctuated within a lc
range, and closed K lower than yesterday.
Deferred futures opened HSc higher, declin
ed lc and closed Jle lower than yesterday.
The weather was cloudy and threatening
South and West, and this had some effect upon
the market. There evidently was a disposition'
to realize on the part of longs, and the offerings
were large, which resulted In a decline of Xo
from opening figures, but the offerings were
met with a good demand. After the buying
orders were filled, which caused some reaction
from the early decline, tbe market ruled more
quiet, and with fair offerings a steady shrink
age followed to inside prices.
A fair trade was reported in corn early, after
which tbe pit became quiet and inactive. The
feeling on the whole was comparatively steady
and prices showed but little change from yes
terday. AtSSc for September offerines werd
quite heavy, and this was the extreme price for
that future. ,
A strong feeling developed in oats, especially
in August and September, and prices advanced
fractionally.
In mess pork trading was lighter and chiefly
local. Opening sales were at a slight advance,
receded 7Kc advanced 10t?12c and closed
steady at about the outside.
Lard was quiet and steady and without new
feature.
Short ribs were fairly active, but an unset
tled feeling prevailed. Offerings early were
3uite free and prices declined 5c Later a good
emand sprang up. Offerings were quickly
absorbed by a prominent packer, shorts also
began to buy and prices were bid up 1012c,
tbe market closing steady.
The leading rutures ranged as follows:

THE PE0P0SED CHANGE. OF M0TING DAI
There is a good feeling in the iron trade
this week. A broker outlined the situation
yesterday as follows: 'The iron business is
once more in good shape. Steel blooms have
advanced 51 a ton. Bar iron is stronger.
Splice bar, steel, in large lots, may be quoted
at $1 75; iron, $1 70. Track bolts are firm
at 52 65. The pipe mills are crowded with
orders, and prices are op the jump. Hail
mills are running at top speed, and refuse
orders for shipment earlier than September.
A sale has been reported to me of 1,500 tons
of steel rails for an Ohio road at a shade bet
ter than recent prices. ,
"Nearly all the mills are pnshed. The
sheet mills are especially busy, and are un
able to fill orders for immediate delivery.
This is encouraging for so late in the season,
and is a good forecast of what we may ex
pectin the fall and winter. Iron supplies
of all kinds have run so low that it will take a
long time to fill tbe gap. There wilt be very,
little accumulation of stock: for at least a year."
A morning paper contained tbe statement
that business men are protesting against the
repairing of the Baltimore and Ohlu building,
at the corner of Fifth avenue and Wood street,
insisting that it had been condemned an'd should
be torn down, and proceeds: "A compromise
was afterward effected by which the railroad
company was permitted to occupy tbe first floor
until the expiration of the lease in April next,
but it was expressly stipulated that the upper
floors were to remain unoccupied during that
time."
In reply to this. Mr. William Boeebnrg,
trusted for tbe building, furnishes the follow
ing: "Building Inspector Frank condemned the
building and an appeal was taken, and the con
demnation was not sustained by the arbitrators,
but certain repairs were recommended. Tbe
building is now being repaired and strength
ened, and will be much improved wben com
pleted. I am not aware that tho business men
have anything to do with tbe matter, as I am
proceeding strictly in accordance with mv legal
duty in the preiplses. No compromise was
made and no proceedings had other than as
above stated. No understanding existed, nor
was any stipulation made that tbe upper floors
were to remain unoccupied until April 1, next,
or any other time."
The Dispatch a few days ago gave an out
line of tho proposed improvements. They will
be extensive and thorough. All of the old tim
bers will be removed and new ones substituted.
New floors will be laid and parts of the old
walls rebuilt. Tbey will be ornamented with
large and handsome cornices. The tmildlng
will be handsomely painted inside and out.
The repairs will cost about 14,00a When fin
ished the building will be one of the handsom
est on the street.
As previously reported, there is no scarcity of
manufacturing sites in and around Pittsburg.
Bald a real estate dealer 'yesterday: "That
story about a dearth of manufacturing sites
here was an outrage. It has prevented at least
one firm from coming to the city a Southern
concern that manufactures ice by a new pro
cess. They may, however, see the denial and
renew negotiations. The country between Se
wickley and Braddock, on every side, is full of
tbe best kind of manufacturing sites. I have a
number for sale at Gienwood all first-class
and cheap.
"As good sites as there are under the sun can
be bought for from S500 to 11,500 an acre. If
anyone doubts this let him come to me and I
will soon convince him. Pittsburg wants more
manufacturers, and will insure them lots'ot
ground to build on ground close to railroads
and rivers and an abundance ot natural gas."
The movement begun by real estate agents
last spring to secure a change of "flitting day"
from April to May is making good headway,
and will likely be adopted. An agreement is
being prepared by Attorney Watterson. which
will be submitted for signature by landlords at
a meeting to be called In a few days. Should it
receive a majority, another meeting will be
called and final action taken.
Mr. J. L. Qloninger, who has the matter in
charge, said yesterday that he thought the
change would be adopted, as nearly all the rear
estate men were in favor of it, and he believed
a majority ot landlords, but it cannot take
effect for two years. Leases now out are
drawn to expire next April, at which time,
should the plan be adopted, they will be made
out for 13 months, or to May, 1S9L Thereafter
it will be plain sailing. '
a
During June 250 building permits were issued,
of which 115 were brick, 134 frame and one
ironclad. Tbe total cost of the entire lot Is
estimated at $480 62a The largest was taken
out by the Chautauqua Lake Ice Company for
a storehouse and office, to cost 142,00a Tbe
Fourteenth ward led in the number of permits,
18. Tbe Seventeenth came next with IS.
Building this month shows an improvement
over last, and tbe number ot permit will not
fall much short of S0. ,

There was an enconraging degree of anima
tion in the local stock market yesterday, espe
cially In the afternoon, but there was no Im
provement in prices. On the contrary, nearly
all the favorites submitted to slight shading.
A number of brokers were hungry for La
Norla, but they wanted It at concessions, which
were refused. A bid of 1 was made for 600
shares, but the result was wind. Electrio went
at 49, seller 00, and 49U regular. Philadelphia
Gas was offered in small bnndlcs at 80K- The
tractions were as badly in the soup as ever,
being almost entirely neglected. Switch and
Signal sold down to 22 and Chartlers Gas to 60.
There are hardly any orders either way," re
marked a broker, "and of course we can't rea
sonably expect much of a market. .When all
tbe boys eet back and tbe weather cools off
there will be a change. Local securities are
too good to go a begging very long" Bids,

A LITTLE BOOM.
Oil Spurts and Cllmba Hlih Up In tho
Nineties.
The oil marke't yesterday displayed a degree
of animation that had not been witnessed there
for along time, and led the advocates and
friends of the pew rules to still higher hopes
that tbey would yet prove the salvation of the
trade. Trading was lively all along the line
and the clearings will probably show half a
million barrels. Those for Wednesday were
S76.000.-
The market opened decidedly bullish at 93c
c better than the closing price of Wednes
daybut soon sold off to 93c. From this point
it gradually sold up to 95kc the top of the day.
It fluctuated between this figure and 94c
until near the close, wben tbe bulls again came
to tbe front and forced an advance to 95c
where tbe market finished. Tbe difficulty of
getting oil was tbe principal reason for the
spurt. Holders saw their advantage and kept
putting up tbe price almost as fast as bids were
made. Several brokers with large orders were
unable to fill them. Had oil been plenty the
day's business would have been -of large pro
portions. The most of the trading was around
S4c, but an offer for 100.000 barrels at that
figure fell flat. New York and Oil City were
the principal buyers. The close was firm, with
tbe shorts a little nervous.
A broker said: "My prediction yesterday that
oil would be blcher to-day has come true. The
law of supply and demand is beginning to assert
itself. There is not enough oil to go round,
and prices must go up. There may be some
slumps before it gets fairly on its feet, but ral
lies will follow. Dollar oil is a certainty in my
judgment."

Tbey Make a VI cor ons Attack oa Wall
Street Stocks The Sasrar Trust Lets
Go Other Weak Spots Losses
All Alone tbe Line.
New Yoke, July 18. The stock market was
dull and weak to-day, but under bear attacks
it became more active, arid" prices ran off ma
terially, though a large portion of the loss was
regained toward the close. There was a marked
absence of the larger commission brokers to
day, and as many of tbe leading bull operators
are away at present, and tbe smaller class of
operators are indisposed to take bold, the con
dition invited attack, and the bears made the
most of tbe opportunity, though long selling
was not wanting, especially in the earlier por
tion of he day.
The market was Irregular at the start, and
under the liquidation of long stock a weak and
feverish tone was given the market, and Sogar
Trust led off with a drop of 2 per cent, to 108.
In the regular list, however, there was also
decided weakness, and a rumor that there
would be no dividend on Northern Pacific pre
ferred was the occasion of a decline of over 1
per cent in that stock. The stories which ac
companied the slump in Manhattan yesterday
were made the basis for an attack upon New
England, the argument being that if the pro
posed extensions of the Manhattan were to be
given up there could be no connection with
New England, and that road wonld not be able
to reach New York. New England lost nearly
2 per cent on this. t
Atchison, which bad been very well held,
next gave way, tbe decrease in the earnings for
the first week In July causing some selling.
Toward noon, however, tbe bears made their
neat attack of the day, and the first point was
Oregon Transcontinental, which was quickly
knocked down to 28 against 32 last evening.
Richmond and West Point was next, and the
ease with which it ran off was a decided sur
prise to the street, especially as tbe earnings
for tbe first half year show an increase over
those of last year of over half a million. There
was absolutely no support at first, as the in
siders have been paying no attention to the
market interests of the stock, and stop orders
were soon reached, which accelerated the de
cline, and it dropped to 19 against 22 last
evening.
The break in Oregon Transcontinental ex
tended to tbe other Villard stocks, and tbe
ease with which other stocks yielded
encouraged attacks upon the Grangers and
Coalers and Missouri Pacific, Reading, St.
Paul, Union Pacific, Lackawanna and Lake
Shore were all forced off over 1 per
cent. The lowest prices were gener
ally reached toward 2 P. if., but no
effort was made to stem tbe tide, though Rich
mond and West Point and Oregon Transcon
tinental had rebounded from the lowest figures.
At that time, however, a rumor was circulated
that the negotiatiohs for the purchase of the
Burlington and Northern by tbe Chicago, Bur
llngton and Qulncy had been concluded and
the tide was Immediately turned in the upward
direction.
The reaction was sharp and the covering of
shorts assumed large proportions, and before
the close of business everything except Oregon
Transcontinental, which remained sluggish,
had recovered nearly to the opening prices.
The close was active and strong, generally at
fractions under first figures. After the early
drop in Sugar Trust the trust stocks were quiet
and fluctuated within narrov limits, and the
inactive stocks were devoid of special featnre.
Most of the list is fractionally lower this even
ing, but the only important change is -the drop
of i in Oregon Transcontinental.
Railroad bonds were again dull, and, as
usual of late, responded neither to the activity
nor the weakness in the list. Tbe market re
mained without feature of anv kind through
out the day, and the sales of 1925,000 were ac
companied by no movement of importance.
Utah Southern extension 7s rose Vi to 115,Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe seconds lost i, at 70,
Rochester and Pittsburg consols SV at 116
and St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute divi
dends 3 to 43.

A Wild Scheme Said to Include All but the
Villard Railroad..
New York. July 18. A Hartford special
says: Tbe text for a bill which Is to be intro
duced at tbe opening session of Congress in
December, involving tbe most gigantlo scheme
for railroad consolidation ever candidly dis
cussed in this country, -is now being put Into
type in this city, and a Chicago firm is engaged
in publishing the maps illustrating the consoli
dation of railway lines and the tracts of coun
try which are to supply the proposed system
with business. Tbe fundamental idea Is to
make Boston the metropolis of tha, continent.
While the Inter-State Commission and the busi
ness men of New England are discussing the
?roblems to be solved on account of the low
relght rates enforced on the Canadian Pacific
road, tbe consolldationists are consummating
plans for the absorption of the Canadian rival
with the American system and tbe establish
ment of tbe greatest railroad power in the
world. The Villard system is the only one not
embraced in tbe conception. Tbe Union and
Northern Pacific roads and tbe Canadian
Pacific are tbe ones to be consolidated. The
system extending from Santa Fe throueh tbe
Southwestern States, thence by way of tbe Penn
sylvania coal regions and across tbe Hudson
river at Poughkeepsle, taking in tbe Hartford
and Connecticut Western line with tha.new
road from Tariftville to Springfield, is also-in-yo.ved
in tbe Unparalleled scheme for consoli
dation. From Boston the originators of the
plan propose to run a steamship line to Enrope,
furnishing the amplest accommodations for
freight and passenger trafflo from the Pacific
slope to the lareest ports on the European con
tinent. The details of tbe bill cannot be ascertained
at present, but its projectors state that mem
bersot theSenate are familiar with the scheme
and are enthusiastic for its prosecution. The
canitalixation to be asked for will not be less
than 1700,000,000. v

influence .on trade, and business has not yet
fully recovered from its vacation. Potatoes
are not so plenty as they have been for a week
or two past. and. prices are steady. Tomatoes
are also a shade firmer. Melons are coming in
freely, and are drifting steadily toward a lower
level. Berries are not as abundant as for a
week or two past,bnt supply is equal to demand.
Eggs, cheese and creamery butter are fairly
active at old prices. Country bntter still drags.

It Might Have Been Worse.
Not long since, Mr. Charles M. Eichenlaub,
an Allegheny centleman, who lives at 189 Fed
eral street, waamade to fully realize the fact
that the aches and pains he experienced in
different parts of his body were not without a
cause. The high-colored urine, pain across the
small of his back and kidneys, together with
other unmistakable signs, warned him that his
condition was fast approaching Bright's dis
ease. The sharp, burning pain in his feet gave
him untold misery. In fact, bis disease grew
from bad to worse, until he was unable to walk
or step on his feet without experiencing great
pain. He also frequently felt pain under his
shoulder blades .and different parts of his
body. He lost his appetite, and he
felt a full, bloated feeling after
meals. As the little food he ate fermented in
his stomach he had much eructation of gas.
After taking six weeks' treatment at
THE POLYPATHIC MEDICAL IN8TT
TTJTE, at 420 Penn avenue, his aches
and pains all left him. his appetite
came back to him. his stomach performs its
function properly, and he feels well and hearty
and is able to attend to his business every
day. He further states: "It gives me pleasure
to state to my many friends, and the people
generally, thatalthough my disease was chronic
a,nd of long standing, I have been entirely cured
of my kidney disease and rheumatism by the
physicians and specialists for these diseases at
No. 420 Penn avenue.
