Light Eun of Sheepand Lambs The Lieut est of the Season. BOGS ACUTE MOXDAT, SLOW TO-DAI Offick of Pittsburg Dispatch, 1 WEDNESDAY. July 21 1SS9. f l&e total run of local cattle lor the week has been in round numbers 110 carloads, -Against 90 loads last week. The bulk of those received irere common to fair grades. There were about 10 loads ot good heavy -c.ittlc in the supplies, but none that conld be called in ihe largest charity strictly prime. Very few were above 1,400 lbs. in weight. Orders for export cattle were plenty, but there were practically none of this grade on the market. Bayers were in larger force than at any time since last fall. While they meant business, they would not consent to an at tempted advance. Trade was active, and stock found ready customers at last week's prices, except for smooth, light butcher stock, which were 10 to 15c higher than a w eek ago. The utside price for the best 1,300 to 1,400 pound steers on the market was J4 15. A prime iuality of well-fatted stock would have brought it 25 to J4 40, as there were buvers plentv ready to iuvest in this grade, but none were to be bad. A leading stockman comnlains that country shippers, as a rule, fail to properly classify their cattle, and place a higher estimate on the grade of those sent to market than stubborn facts v arrant. Said he: "I had amongmy consignments this -week two loads of cattle from different parties -weighing almost the same, and to a green drov er's eje there was very little difference in qual ity. But the difference amounted to 25 to 40c per cwt in selling. f)ne load was grass fed, full and slick, and, to the superficial observer, was all right. The other had the quality and the grain which gave solid substance, and the differ once was as great as that between a green and a ripe peach. The cocntrvrnan who owned the grass-fed, low-grade cattle couldn't see why he bbould not get as much for his stock as was paid tor the higher grade, grain-fed cattle. But expert dealers can see the difference at once." Miern and Lambs. Receipts on Monday were little more than Salf those of the previous Monday. Light sup plies served to stimulate markets, and stock was well cleaned up at an advance of 1525c on last week's prices for choice grades. At Herr's Island receipts wore unusually heavy, and a decline was reported there. Nen 8 from Eastern markets had a discour aging influence. Liberty stockmen are of the opinion that sheep have touched their lowest figure for this sc-isou. Tho advanced price of wool aud good pasturage, it is believed, will stiffen the backbone of farmers so that they will withhold stock from market until better prices can De realized. One thing is certain, the run at the Liberty jards this week was the 11. iiiesb uijs season. noes. Supply was light, as it alwavs is in midsum mer. Markets were active and firm in the fore part of tho week, especially ;f or lightweights. To-day trade is slow, and heavy hogs are little pood.

A year ago prices were about a dollar cheaper. The most encouraging feature just now is an active for eign demand.

MAEKETS BY WISE. A SInmp nnd n. Rally In Wheat Bear Early In the Day Turn Balls Before tho Close Corn Excited nnd Lower Pork Featareless. Chicago There was modest degree of activity in wheat to-day, and during the greater part of the session local sentiment was rather bearish. The crowd seemed to be work ing on the "natural reaction" theory, and were disposed to sell during the morning hours. The opening was quite strong on all futures and H c higher, the early strength being mainly on reports of continued heavy rains in the Southwest, where harvesting and .shipping operations are in progress. More bullish dis patches were received by houses having foreign connections on the Russian and Hungarian crop situation. Reports to Crop Statistician Prico from 238 points in Iowa, Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin give percentages of 86 in the two latter States, 89 in Nebraska and 91 in Iowa, with Dakota at 62. The disposition on the part of the crowd to sell had a depressing effect toward noon, but during the last hour the demand improved. Parties who had sold early turned buyers, and the undertone became quite bullish. The December future shows an advance, 'based on yesterday's closing, of Kc July is lc higher, and September unchanged. A fair trade was reported in corn early in the day, after which the pit became excited. The feeling, on the whole, was weaker and lower prices were established. The easier tone was attributed mainly to a less urgent cash de mand, the Inquiry for July having apparently been t-atlsfietC which had a weakening influence on the other lutures. Offerings were more lib eral and demand less urgent. The local crowd were long, and receivers ere said to be rather free sellers, supposed to be against corn pur chased in the country. The market opened at about yesterday's closing prices, was steady for a time, but soon becamo easier, declining c ruled quiet, and closing at v lower than yesterday. Oats were steadier early, but there were few buying orders in the market, and during the latter part ot the day a weakness prevailed and prices declined KUc. The market for mess pork attracted little at tention. The filling of a tevr orders caused an advance of 57c at the opening, but a weaker feeling was soon developed and prices receded 1517c. A slight advance was made toward the close, and the market closed quiet. Trading was very light in the lard market and the feeling was easy daring the greater portion ot the day. Prices declined 67Hc and the market closed quiet. A fairly active business was reported in the market for short rib sides. Early the demand was active and the feeling was stronger, ac companied with an advance of 2K5c- At this Improvement, however, there Was considerable pressure to sell, and prices gradually receded K10c. Toward the close the feeling was steadier and prices rallied slightly and closed comparatively steady.

Salaries Equivalent to Capital, and Less Tronblesome to Manage. BIG DEAL IN WILKIKSBDEG EEALTI It was ascertained yesterday irom a source entitled to the fullest credit that a number of new and handsome business houses will soon be commenced on the north side of Diamond street, between Wood and Market sqnare all on the new 50-foot line. Among them may be mentioned one on the "Willey lot, one on the Ihoma lot, and one on the lot owned by the Exchange National Bank. All of these buildings will be first-class in every respect, and carefully adapted to the requirements of modern business methods. It has passed into a proverb that the sons of rich men arc prodigal in the use of money. It comes easy and it goes easy. This may be true as a general proposition, but it appears that the rich young men of PlttsDurg are an exception to the rule In a conversation between several business men yesterday the fact was brought ont that quite a number of them who have re cently come into possession of their fortunes are Investing largely in lands and houses, or identifying themselves with established busi ness enterprises. Some of the finest properties in the city are owned by them, as are also many of the best buildings that are in course of con struction. These lucky and sensible youngsters area credit, not only to their sturdy ancestors, but to tho city, and their commendable conduct blunts the edge of Mr. Carnegie's allegation that it is a misfortune to be the son of a million aire. What is he worth T This is a question often propounded, and one that affords a' broad field for speculation in almost any particular case. What is a man worth T For example, a book keeper receiving a salary of (2,000 a year. It requires S50,000 at 4 per cent to yield this amount. Ten thousand dollars per annnmis not an unusual salary in some branches of business for managers of institutions or large industries, and that is equivalent to a capital of from 200,000 to 250,000 drawing 5er cent in one case and 4 per ceut in the other. Let the man who receives only S1.000 a year pause to consider, before moaning over his hard lot, that he commands an income on $20,000. or per chance 25,000. If he persists in considering bis situation In life an unfortunate one, let him imagine a reversed condition of circumstances. Let him asked if he would choose to be placed in the condition of some acquaintance whom he may know, and who, having $25,000 at command, is deficient in ability to secure or fill a lucrative position and one commanding honor and respect. Is is not probable that the annoy ances likely to be caused over a safe and pru dent investment for the capital, with the chances of loss staring the investor in the face, would fully equal such as are ordinarily en countered by those in responsible positions liability to dismissal or loss of place through sickness or other causes? The most important real estate transaction that has taken place in Wilklnsborg this year was closed up yesterday. The Clones residence of 13 rooms and large lot, on Rebecca street, passed into the possession of Joseph A. Lang fit t, a prominent Pittsburg attorney, the con. sideration being $10,000. Mr. Langfltt will move into his new home in a short time. , Members of the Petrolenm Exchange who have stood manfully by the new rules through good and evil report begin to think that their success is assured, and for proof point to the improved condition of the trade. With the tide in their favor they can well afford to boast, but they should consider that the market is controlled by a power superior to themselves, which may at any time throw a wet blanket over it. Conditions go for nothing when they antagonize the interests of a corporation like the Standard.. "There is more in heaven and earth, Horatio, than is dreamt of in your philosophy," has special significance when identified with the oil market. A great deal Is being done in the way of im proving and beautifying the suburbs. Up and down and across the rivers, carpenters, masons, painters, roadmakers and landscape artists, a small army of them, are busy as bees, and un der their skillful manipulations the country roundabout is undergoing a transformation which will largely Increase its attractions and enhance its value for residence purpotc In this material age it is gratifying to observe a disposition to surround the home with all the comforts and conveniences that money can procure. In this respect Pittsburg is second to no other city in the Union. It it gratifying to be assnred by competent authority that the inquiry for real estato Is largely for houses or lots on which to build, and only to a limited extent for specnlation. Under this condition f the market a material shrinkage in values is impossible. CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT. Local Stocks Rapidly Picking Themselves Oat of the Rat. La Norla and Philadelphia Gas were again the centers of attraction at the Stock Exchange yesterday. The bulls, as on Tuesday, had the upper hand, and tossed the price np to "ys, at which figure 275 shares were unloaded. The stock was well sustained until near tho close, when it staggered a little, indicating that it had about reached the top of the boom. Phila delphia Gas opened at 36 and sold up on moderate buying. At the close 37 was asked. A small lor of Citizens' Traction brought 68; the others were weak and neglected. The best price for Switch and Signal was 20, at which figure a few shares changed hands. Natural Gas of 'West Virginia brought 68 in a small way. It was sparingly offered. The best bid for Electric was 49. It was held half a point higher. The total sales were 775 shares.

As soon as the oil market opened yesterday the bulls took hold and ruled the roost until near the close, when the bears made a raid and hammered the price down . A big advance in refined in New York and Antwerp was the d' rect cause of the boom, during which 1 02 was scored the highest price for oil on the local Exchange since 1885. The market strong at 99c Good buying by McKelvy and others quickly sent the price up to SL It then fell off a cent, but soon made an other spnrt and got back near the dollar line. This was about the dinner hour. While many of the brokers were out for luncheon a little snap game was played, which resulted in an ad vance from 09c to 1 01K in less time than it takes to tell it. The market hnng around the last-named figure until shortly after 2 o'clock, when, on good buying, the price shot up to 1 02 but at that figure the longs were so anxious to realize that It soon wavered, and, after a few small fluctuations, broke away and closed at 1 01, with considerable difference of opinion as to what to-day would bring forth. Some contend ed tho conditions favored still higher prices, while others thought the top had been reached. Said a broker: "The new rnles are working well. The market is better than at any other time for over a year, aud the end Is not yet. I predict still higher prices." Notnlng was done in cash oil, the Augnst option being all that was dealt in. Fluctuations and other features of the market are given btlow. Pralnres of the Market Corrected daily by John M. Oaxiey & Co., 45 Sixth street, members of the Pittsburg Petro leum Exchange.

BEAES 0NA EAID. They Attack the Conl Stocks, bat Make No Particular Impression Chansea Small, but In Ihe Direction of Lower Prices' Donda Featureless. Nrw York, July 21 The stock market showed no signs of getting out of the rut of dullness into which it has fallen, and the trans actions to-day were on the same limited scale as usual of late, whilo the tone of tho market, which was strong at first, became weak later in the day and the early gains were lost. The market followed the lead of London at the opening, and first prices were generally f rom yi to per cent higher than last evening's figures, but the strength soon gave out and for the rest of the forenoon there was a dull and unsatisfactory market without feature or ani mation. The most prominent characteristic of the market was the buying of London houses and their purchases are estimated as high as 5,000 snares, but the enthusiasm of the local operators soon abated and after the first de mand had beensatlsfieddullnessandstagnation was the order of the day, Chesapeake and Ohio first preferred was the only really strong stock, and after a rise of abont 2 per cent It lost most of the improvement. The Cleveland, Columbus. Cincinnati and St. L"nls stocks were also active, bnt their movements were confined to a narrower range thau during the past few days. In the afternoon the bears made a demonstra tion against the Coal stocks and Reading in Particular, the rnmnr being that the earnings or June, on account of the lato floods, would show a decrease of from 250.000 toJlOaOCKX The impression got abroad in the room that long stock was coming' ont, which started the :raders to selling, and the stock was knocked down 1M per cent, to 42Jf. The other Coalers, especially Lackawanna, sympathized, and tbo selling extended to other portions of the list, the Grangers coming in fdr a liberal share of attention, though St. Paul was well held at the close to the best prices of the week. There was an effort to recoup tho sales of the previ ous hour toward the close, and a sharp rally oc curred, Reading reacting $ and others in pro portion. Tho market closed dull, but firm, at fractional losses for the day. The final changes are somewhat irregular, but generally are in the direction of lower figures, and for fraction al amounts only. Railroad bonds continue to show a small volume of business, with no feature to the dealings. The sales of all Issues to-day reached only 854,000. of which 109,000 were In the Rocking Valley fives. The temper of the mar ket was somewhat stronger than of late, but there was no decided tendency ot prices In either direction, and the final changes are Irregular and generally forsmall fractions only. Hocking Valley fives rose 2, to C6: Indianap olis, Decatur and Western seconds, 2, to 40, and Green Bay Incomes. 2, to 17f. The strength of the last named bonds was due to the new plan of building a Southwest extension, and by so doing to get business enough to save tho road from bankruptcy.

Not long since, Mr. Charles M. Elchentanb, an Allegheny centleman, who lives at 189 Fed eral street, was mado to fully realize the fact that the aches and pains he experienced in different parts of his body were not without a cause. The blgb-colored urine, pain across the small of bis 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 bis feet gave him untold misery. In fact, his 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 nnder his shoulder blades and different parts of bis body. He lost his appetite, and he felt a fnll, bloated feeling after meals. As the little food he ate fermented in his stomach be had much eructation of gas. After taking six weeks', treatment at THE POLYPATHIC MEDICAL INSTI TUTE, at 420 Penn avenne, his aches and pains all left him. bis appetite came back to him. his stomach performs its function properly, and he f eols 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, thatalthongh my disease was chronic and of long standing, Ibave been entirely cured of my kidney disease and rheumatism by the physicians and specialists for these diseases at No. 420 Penn avenne.
