XJTOET CATTLE IN ACTIVE DEMAND
The run of cattle, both through and local,
exceeds anything for months past. Through
receipts this week exceeded those for the en
lire month of June. Local receipts are 190
head above last week, and 970 above the
previous week. Prime heavy cattle no longer
come to the Liberty yards, for a good and suffi
cient reason, viz: the absence of demand for
tin grade. Oar borne batchers call for light
weights, and anything above 1,250 to 1,300
pounds goes slow. For this class of cattle
prices advanced 1015c over last week, and all
on naDd of this grade found ready sale. There
are no heavy prime cattle on the market. All
tins class is cobbled up at Chicago and other
"Western cattle centers for export purpose.
The demand for export cattle- for some time
past has far exceeded supply, and for a very
good reason.
While prices have steadily declined on this
side of the water for the past year, until there
is a difference of more than 2 per cwL from
prices of a year ago. the decline at Liverpool
has not been more than half this amount.
A Heir's Island drover said a day or two ago:
"Dealers iu export cattle must be having a
bonanza, judging from prices which Lave cre-
ailed at Chicago for a tew months past. The
outside price at Chicago is M 35. The cost ot
delivering at Liverpool will, in round numbers,
be 1 per cwt. The price there at latest ac
counts was $6 to $6 25, leaving a comfortable
margin ot profit for the exporter."
One of our prominent butchers said to-day:
"The offal of a bullock is worth at leat S3 more
in Liverpool or London than it is in Pittsburg.
in the old world tney gamer up tne fragments,
to that
Nothing Goe to Waste.
Calves feet are there worth 50 cer.ts a cwt. A
Set of bullocVs' feet will bring 8 shillings, or ?2.
A calFs head is -north a dollar. I have known
them to bring as high as S5 apiece m Paris. The
mouth of a bullock is worth 75 cents iu England
or France. In those countries eviirytfcing is
utilized, while here large amount-j are thrown
away. Necessity has forced the rveople of the
Old World to utilize everythng, and what
Americans throw into the cartage pile would
furnish a handsome profit to the cattle dealer
of the Old U orld."
An olu-time Liberty stock jean, in answer to
the querj: '"Is not the export cattle dealer hav
ing a boom at this time?" said: "The inquiry
for good export rattle ha , been very active of
late, and we have not oeea able to meet de
mands in this line.
The decline of prim e cattle in the past year
has been much greate i here than abroad. There
has been a decline, 0f about SI per cwt. at
Liverpool, but the 'jeclme here has been more
lian double this r .mount"
"As an offset ".o this, however, there is the
difficulty of Sfjcuring ocean transportation.
Last vear trar portation was very low. Rates
were $1 to $5 p.er bead last spring over the pre
vious spring. This would add 60c a hundred
net to the p Ax of cattle delivered at Liverpool.
It is now almost impossible to secure ocean
transport .lion of live stock, as a number of the
heavy dr jjers have engaged vessels for months,
ahead."

Lubrlcaline Oil In the Rockies.
Ottawa. Oxt., July CS. Major A. P. Pat
rick, ;Dominion Laud Surveyor, of Calgary,
writes from the Summit, Crow's Nest Pass
Rocky Mountains July 13. In his letter be
says that he and a fellow surveyor had been
prospecting for 11 weeks in the Rocky Moun
tains for coal oil deposits and that they had
struck one of the richest deposits ever found.
Samples showed 91 per cent lubricating oil, 5
per cent heavyoil and the remainder water ana
loreira substances. This is declared to be the
best oil ever discovered. Mr. Patrick has had
registered in his own name 40 acres of the east
side of the summit and 500 acres in British
Columbia. As it is 4.500 feet above the sea
level the crude oil can be run off any distance.

Weather Throughoat t
the Cereal Bt.lt.
Chicago There was a duU and narrow mar
ket for wheat at most of the session to-day,
fluctuations during the first; two hours being
withiajc range for December and Ho for the
less deferred deliveries. Prices were weaker
from the start. Opening quotations were
lie under yesterday's closings, and the depres
sion here was shared In by all odtstde markets.
New York being fully ac, and St. Louis about
lc off. Local sentiment was bearish and the
steadiness that characterized the market after
the early break was largely, if not entirely, due
to the operations of a prominent local trader
who was a free buyer at under 80c for Decem
ber and apparently willing to pell in quantities
to suit the croud at a fraction above that
price.
Rainy weather was again reported all over
the Southwest, with some rain in the North
west. There was some selling on a dispatch
from Minneapolis that the State Board of Agri
culture had estimated the .Minnesota crop at
47,000,000 bushels, which is 19.000,000 bushels
larger than last year and 10,000,000 bushels
larger than the crop ot two years ago. Though
the market continued narrow all day prices
hardened a trifle. &nd final closings were Kc
lower for Deoemrver and Jc lower lor Septem
ber than yesterday.
But little In terest was manifested In corn;
trading being of a light local character, fluctu
ations were limited to Ytc range ana transac
tions confluea to room traders. The specula
tive market, opened M?c lower than the clos
ing price, uf yesterday. ctaanged:but little, and
final quotations were He lower than yesterday.
A Weaker feeling developed in oats and
prices ranged lower, but only a fair volume ot
bus'.ness transpired. There was more pressure
to sell ind no demand of consequence except
from shorts.
A fairly active trade was reported In mess
pork at irregular prices. The feeling was weak
during the greater portion of the day. Open
ing sales were made at 57Kc decline, and
during the latter part ot the session a reduc
tion of 1520c was submitted to. Near the
close prices was a trifle higher, but trading was
light.
A weak and unsettled foellnq prevailed in
lard, and a further decline of 25c was sub
mitted to.
Considerable interest was manifested in the
market for short ribs. Prices receded 5
"Xc and closed rather tame.

TWO BOOMS LET GO.
Petroleum and La Koria Getting Down
From -Their High Altitude.
THE BIG FIDELITY BUILDING.
Destruction of a Rural Hostelry That Was
Famous in Daja of Old.
FATALITIES IN THE HAETEST FIELDS
Two booms in the local speculative mar
ket came to a halt yesterday those in pe
troleum and La Noria" mining stock. The
first was started, accorking to good authori
ty, by the Standard Oil Company to squeeze
the shorts, and the latter to enable a few
who bought at iy and ljf to unload at 1
and . Both deals were well managed
and entirely successful. These interests are
feverish and unsettled, with a retiring dis
position, and their course for a few days
will be carefully watched by investors.
m
The finishing touches are being given to
the magnificent building ot the Fidelity
Title and Trnst Company, on Fourth ave
nue. It stands on a lot 45x120 feet, the site
of "Wilkins Hall, of hallowed memory. The
board of construction, believing in protect
ing home industries, have had all the work
done by Pittsburzers, so far as possible. The
building was designed by Mr. James T.Steen.
A. & S. "Wilson were the builders. It is
seven stories high, of granite front, and pos
sesses all the requisites to make it thoroughly
fire-proof.
The company occupies all ot the first floor, a
large part of the second and the basement for
its own use. The quarters of the executive
officers are conveniently placed in the main
room, together with the financial department,
with a separate window for ladles The rear
portion is ocenpiedby a massive vault, comfort
aole and convenient parlors and toilet rooms
tor ladies and gentlemen. Persons who have
not remarked the attention paid to this branch
of the business will be surprised to see how
every want has been studied and met.
It is already evident that a great many records
are to be broken in railroad traffic this year.
The earnings of the roads for the first six
months of the year have been larger than ever
before, bnt the bnslness of the last half of the
year promises to be still larger. Northwestern
roads will be severely taxed to carry the enor
mous crops of grain to market, and they are
pretty sure to get good prices for It. This aug
mentation of business should give the stock of
the so-called Grangers a big boose
Western Pennsylvania is famous for whortle
berries commonly called huckleberries The
crop this year is unusually large and the qual
ity excellent. Ninety cents a bucket is the
ruling price, but they will sell lower before the
season is over. Blackberries are also abundant.
They are selling at 60 cents a bucket in the
country towns
A citizen of Westmoreland county, who was
In Pittsburg yesterday, stated as one item of
news which may interest many readers of THE
Dispatch that the old Bunker Hill House, in
Greensburg. was being torn down. This land
mark was in the days of Conestoga wagoning
Lnown as the Green Tree stand. It was built
between the years 1794 and 1801, by Alexander
McKinney, Sr., grandfather of Alexander Mc
Kinney, Esq., who was for years a prominent
attorney of the Westmoreland County Bar
and now dead 30 years or more. The old hos
telry was famous for Irisn stews and Irish
whisky.
In the days of the sickle, the scythe and the
cradle accidents in the harvest field were of
very rare occurrence, bnt since the introduc
tion of machinery in gathering and storing
away the hay and the golden grain, they are
more numerous than railway casualties A
day or two ago a small boy named Browu bad a
foot cut off in Butler county by a reaper with
which bis father was working,In Fayette county
a team of horses ran away with a binder and
were badly injured. Improved agricultural im
plements are great labor savers but they should
be handled with the ntmost care. Time and
money are scarcely fair equivalents to human
lite.
Interviews with a number of business men
yesterday were to the effect that the volume of
trade in progress is at least 25 per cent larger
than at the corresponding time last year. Bank
clearings railroad earnings and the foreign
trade all tell the same story. From present ap
pearances too, this activity promises to con
tinue through the fall and winter.
According to all accounts the wheat cropot
Dakota is as badly off as the peach crop in
Delaware; and it is susceptible of complete
and absolute ruin with equal frequency. Only
a week ago a shortage of 30,000,000 bushels was
prophesied, and yet the Northern Pacific has
advices direct from tie field that wheat in
Northern Dakota and the Devils Lake region
will be 25 to 30 per cent greater than ever be
fore. The latter estimate is borne out by other
information of a reliable character, and Is no
doubt Correct.
The iron market continues to Improve. There
is a better feeling than a week ago. predicated
upon inquiries and these are reasonably likely
to result in large orders at an early 'date.
Prices are firm throughout, with Indications of
an advance early in the falL All the mills that
have completed repairs and started up are run

Information comes from New York that C P.
Huntington has turned over to Drexel, Morgan

FOUR ACTIVE STOCKS.
Philadelphia Gn and Electric Well bus.
lalned La Norla Lets Go.
Dealings at the Stock Exchange yesterday
were confined to Philadelphia Gas La Noria,
Electric and Switch and Signal, the transac
tions in which aggregated 614 shares Philadel
phia contributing 434 and La Norla 100. The
boom in the latter has probably run its course
for the present, and the boomers seem disposed
to let it take a rest. Its f nture course depends
entirely upon the nature of the forthcoming
statement Should it be particularly favorable
the upward movement will bo resumed, but, if
the contrary be the case, it will -drop back into
its rut. It opened with a sale at 2. a decline ot
14, but 100 shares satisfied the demand at that
figure. In the afternoon 1 was the best bid,
and there was no clamor for it at that. It was
freely offered at 2.
Philadelphia Gas had but one buyer, and he
took 434 shares at the uniform price of 36.
These sales failed to weaken the stock, and it
closed steady, with 87 asked. The other gassers
showed no material change for better or worse
and were neglected. The tractions were doll
and unchanged. Dividends are too small to
justify buying them for speculation. There is
no aouDt, nowever. tnab me stock win ulti
mately be very valuable. Hence it is generally
regarded as a good investment. Electric was
fractionally stronger, a small lot selline at 49V.
and closing with K more bid and 60 askeu.
Switch and Signal was depressed, 100 shares
goinT at 20. It was neglected In the afternoon.
A moderate buying demand would start
almost everything up, and probably not bring
out much stock either, holders having no fears
of a further slump. Bids, offers and sales were

strength, due partly to a further advance in

Other Striking- Features.
New YOHK, July 25. The stock market was
weak at the opening this morning, but soon re
covered and advanced steadily throughout the
remainder of the day, scoring material gains be
fore the close. The London operators evident
ly do not sympathize with the recent declines in
this market, for the prices from that center
again came higher this morning. The report of
the great drygoods failure, however, created a
bearish feeling among the trading elements
here, and first prices were all from to per
cent below last evening's closing figures, and
vigorous hammering at the outset furnished
losses ranging up to per cent in Missouri
Pacific, partially the resultof an interview with
a railroad official, in which the status of the
Inter-State Association was made light of, as
wen as me uisappoiniment over tne reportea
utterances of Mr. Gould, which the street did
not regard as positive enough.
The new C, C, C. fe St. L stock was forced
off 1 and Sugar Trust 1. The decline
brought in good buying, however, and strong
supoorting orders soon made themselves felt,
and this scared off the traders for the time
being and the market became intensely dull,
but changed its tone decidedly for the better.
The fluctuations were made within the narrow
est limits, except for the specially weak stocks
of the first hour, which rapidly recovered, and
it was not long before all of them were again
above the opening prices Union Pacific dis
played most stubborn strength on the fact that
the increase in the net earnings for June wonld
be about 1200,000, and it rose without a setback,
finally scoring the largest advance of the day.
In the afternoon there was a reduction on the
rates of the foreign exchange drawers and this
gave rise to the expectation that there wonld
be no shipments of gold this week.
It was announced that the reduction was be
cause of the Increased supply of grain bills for
next month and thatafurtber reduction might
be expected, which gave an impetus to the new
bullish feeling, and in the last hour the ad
vance made more rapid progress, and Atchison,
Missouri Pacific, St. Paul, Sugar Trust and
others were very prominent for strength. The
market finally closed quiet but strong at the
best prices of the day. The unlisted stocks
were more active and 27,756 were sold, Lead
contributing 16.635. There were a few frac
tional declines for the day, but the great ma
jority of the list is higher to-night, though the
only marked changes were gains of Vyi in
Union Pacific and 1 per cent in Northwestern.

IBrZClAl, TXLEOBJIM TO TUX DISPATCH.!
Birmingham, Ala., July 25. Jerry
Houghton, a young man from Cedar Bluff,
Ala., was taken to the State Insane Asylum
at Tuscaloosa to-day. Houghton's mind has
been weak for several years and two months
ago he went to see a hanging. Soon after
ward he became insane and wanted to hang
all his friends.
He would work for days constructing a
rude gallows and then he would try to fiud
a victim. "Let me bang you? No trouble,
it won't hurt vou," he would say to every
one he met. Failing to persuade any one
to try the experiment, he tried to force sev
eral persons to let him hang them. He
said he was determined to hang some one
just to show how nicely it could be done.
When he attempted to hang his 10-year-old
brother and came near succeeding, he was
taken into custody aud removed to the
asylum.

Country Produce Jobbing- Prices.
Commission merchants report quiet trade,
with a scarcity or berries. Potatoes are easy
at quotations. Home-grown potatoes are now
in fnll supply. Tomatoes are firm. Country
butter is slow, creamery active. Eggs are firm
at quotations. The bnyer who expects to get a
reliable egg under 15c will find himself left. A
Job lot was sold to-day at HJic to a wholesale
dealer. Reliable eggs in single cases will read

price. A leading cheese jobber reports very
active sales at old rates. His output for tday
will reach almost 600 boxes, and the week's

Sugars are firm, but unchanged. Coffee op

day, bnt the decline has not affected packages
here. The ups and downs of coffee options in
Eastern markets are largely speculative. There
is no doubt that the incoming crop is below
average, and in the long run bulls will come to
the top.
