A Heavy Ban of Sheep, Lamls and Porkers Disposed Of. THE DBOYEES KEAPIXG A BAETEST OFFICE OP rirrsBtnto DISPATCH, I Monday. Aucust 6, 1S89. J There are few chances in lire stock mar kets to report. The grade of cattle was scarcely up to average. There was certain ly a larger proportion of grade cattle than for a few weeks past. Notwithstanding this fact prices held up well, and on desirable grades an advance was secured. The desirable grades In this market aro smooth butchering stock, weighing not much above 1,200 pounds. Cattle receipts were lighter than usual owing to the fact that no stock, was consigned to the abattoir. Outside of this tho number on sale was a fair average. Prices were higher In Chicago than last week and drovers here de manded 10 to 25c per cwt, more than they asked last Monday. Buyers seemed unwilling to pay the advance, and markets ruled dull at the opening. Drovers, however, could not be brought to recede from their position, and when it was discovered that there would beno concessions, markets became fairly active at the advance. Sales were reported at the fol lowing range, with markets steady: Prime heavy western beeves weighing 1,500 to 1,600 pounds.

Reports from Germany are not so favorable, but a fair yield is assured. From ' Hungary. Roumania, Russia and Italy "latest advices indicate that crops will be much below average. Western Europe promises a good good yield. Prospects darken as you go east ward and are darkest on the extreme eastern borders. In this country, reports from the Northwest show an extra fine crop of wheat as to quality, and volume up to last j ear. In this section, the wheat crop tor 1889 is one of the best on recora both as to quality and quantity. It will be a difficult problem to engineer any bull movement in breadstuff this season.

The Wheat Pit Lncklncjn Vim Trading Terv Slow, But Futures Move Cp a Fraction Com and Onta Life less Hob Prodncta Tame. CniCAOo The speculative market was agnln decidedly lacking ,In snap to-day. local Interests being of an indifferent sort with out side orders as scarce as ever. The general situation was in fact without a single new or interesting feature. The temper of the pit was undoubtedly bearish, and local operators are pretty generally short on the market. The statistical position of wheat, on the contrary, was favorable to buyers if not positively bull ish. Trading In futures was Inconsequential throughout the session and most of it was in December. That month fluctuated within ex treme limits otjje and closed 3fc higher than on Saturday. The good demand for cash wheat at this point on ' shipping and export ac count noted around the close of last week con tinues, there being several moderate sized round lots taken to-day. New No. 2 red again sold at KGKc premium over August. A moderate degree of speculative activity was manifested in corn early, but as the session advanced the pit becamo quiet and lifeless. The market opened a trifle under Saturday's closing prices, but was firm and advanced c on buying by local shorts. The cooler weather had a strengthening influence. The advance brought out free offerings, one or two shippers selling quite freely, and the market receded, ruled firmer, and closed YJSMfi better than Saturday. The visible showed a moderate de crease and local stocks were reduced 190,635 bushels, making the quantity now In store here 1,292,734 bushels, or 1.221,814 bushels small er than the corresponding time last year. A good business was done In oats, particu larly early m tho session, when a weaker feeling developed. Offerings were free, receipts being large and the demand light. First sales were at MKc decline. This brought in quite a number of buyers, and abetter feeling devel oped, and prices reacted KQJic. Later the offerings decreased, but the market closed easy at z decline from Saturday. Trading In pork was only moderate. Offer ings were not large, and the demand was active, especially during the early part of the dar. Prices ruled 1517e higher early, but the market soon weakened, and prices receded 7 10c, and closed quiet. Shipping demand light. A fair trade was reported is lard early. Local shorts purchased moderate quantities, and, the offerings being somewhat light, prices were advanced 57Kc. Later the feeling was easier, and pi ices nettled back again 2J5c, closing steady. A light trade was done in ribs. The feeling was steadier earlier, and prices advanced 2 6c, with moderate business. Later the market was easier, and prices settled back again, with onlv light trading.

EFFECTS OF A LIBERAL POLICY, The Adoption of Which in Pittsburg Would Mako Easiness Lively. HOW THET MANAQB THISgS IN LOUDON Mr. JohnfR.; McKee, Jr., whohas just been elected President of the Pittsburg Exchange, needs no Introduction to the business men of this city, and especially to that large and influ ential class known as brokers and investors. He is one of the brainiest members of the institution of which he is now the head, is thoroughly conversant with the methods lu vogue in all the speculative markets, and is active and enterprising to a degree rarely com bined in the same individual. Knowing that Mr. McKee had just returned from New York the Mecca of every business man in America where he bad been tr study the workings of the metropolitan expanses for the benefit of the home institution, I sought and obtained an interview yith him yesterday. He expressed himself as porougji ly pleased delighted, as he put ix-l with the methods of the younger of the two gpat specu lative centers of the big city the Crnsolidated Exchange the members of whim, for the most part, are active, energetic poang men who have graduated from the oldei institution, which they deserted solely for thi reason that its plan of procednre, in their oylnion, is too exclusive too antiquated and oimbersome to meet the necessities of this progressive age. Tbey were not satisfied to woryundor a policy which favors the rich and igntres tho middle classes that gives peculiar adVantages to the man who deals in blocks of thousands and handicaps or ignores him whr is forced to re strict his operations to hundreds and identi fied themselves with a conreln founded upon the broad principle of equal rghts to all and exclusive privileges to nop. In substance, Mr. McKee said: I f The Consolidated Kxchspge of New York started with the direct opposition of the old Stock Exchange. It had Viry few of the rail road and other securities which are usually dealt in, and, as a consejiece, members at first had limited facilities Ar executing orders. To remedy this disadvantage, a new method of trading was adopted, by which the actuat de livery of certificates tookblace every Monday instead of dally, as in the ld exchange. This enlarged the field of operations, as it gave a week of open, or free, trading without the necessity of delivery, affofiing investors a rea sonable time in which t operate for a turn. When delivery day arrived traders, as a gen eral thing, are perfectly! satisfied to let the brokers carry their deals another week in the same manner, and the Irokers are willing to accommodate each other by mutual loans to tide over real or possible difficulties. This gives a liveliness and, activity to business which is always wanting where a stiff, narrow and unaccommodating policy is pursued. a Now for the application. In New York a new institution, established In the face of strong opposition and with many predictions of ultimate failure, is flourishing like a green bay tree, and gives promise of soon rivaling, in tho volume of business transacted, the old Stock Exchange, which has resorted, and is resorting, to every possible device to crush its young and vigorous rival. Bringing the matter home, tho Pittsburg Ex change has large opertunities, under a similar broad aud liberal policy to Increase its volume of trade and influence almost indefinitely, for we have a speculating and investing element lr our population second In size, wealth and in telligence to that of no other city of equal numbers in the Union. Moreover, our In vestors are not hampered by want of capital to operate with, for money is, and likely will be for a long time, abundant and cheap. To this It may be added that the character of the home securities is far superior to most of those dealt n elsewhere. In Boston, Philaelph1,ndBaltiBiar the same system ha been, adopted as prevails in the New York Consolidated Exchange, and the result is admitted on all hands to be bene ficial, alike to brokers and investors. The system upon which business is carried on in London differs as much froni New York 'as .New York differs from Pittsburg. Settlement occupies three days. One is called name day that Is, with regard to stocks which have been purchased outright and which have to be trans ferred, the name of the buyer is handed to the seller. Another day is termed carrying-over day, on which rates of continuation are de cided. The explanation of this is that a person having bought, say, 1,000 shares ol any stock, and not being prepared to take np and pay for it, desires it to be carried forward to the next settling day, arranges through bis broker to pay what is technically called a "contango." This contango) may be 4. 6 or Scents a share; and it takes the place of the interest which the, New Youc broker charges. In London, brokers art not. as In New York, tied down to a bard ani fast line with reference to com missions. They are competitive, and make terms to slit the case in hand. For specula tive transactions they exact only one commis sion for botn buying and selling, and the pur chaser of 20 u-50 sbaresof stock gets as close a quotation as tie man who buys and sells 1,000 or iu,ouo snan London broSprs do all in their power to con vince clients tkit the wolf and lamb tbeorvis not much mordserlons than a standing joke.

The only animation in the oil market yester day was shortly after the opening, when New York and Oil City were buying. They soon drew off, however, and the market was quiet the rest of the day. The tactics pursued here seemed to be to buy below and sell above the dollar line. But while the price did not go below a dollar at any time during the day, those wanting to unloadailed to find customers for anything except small lots, and the conditions were too bnllirh for those who would otherwise sell shore The result was that trading was light. Cash oil was Ji cent below the regular. Very little of It was handled. The fluctuations were: Ooenlng. Zl 00U: highest, $1 Otfl1; closing. $1 00, the close being B.iuuga, ucaiij fcuo uiuwt yum. ui uiciuj. The bulls were sufficiently encouraged to pre dict an active market and a higher range of prices to-day. YciterdnV. Oil Ranee. Corrected dally by John M.

New York. AngustR The stock market to day seemed to have shaken off the lethargy which has bound it for so long, and there was not only a moderately active business through out the day, bnt It was much more evenly dis tributed than nsual of late, and the tone of the dealings remained positively strong from open ing to close. In this movement the Chicago party was given the credit of being the leaders, and the Granger stocks, as was to be expected, led the list generally in both activity and strength. The indications are that tho upward turn is due to the increased movement in grain, which has set in with considerable vigor. There was no help from the foreigners, as this was a bank holiday in London, bn,t other outside centers sent liberal buying orders in lor their favorite, while the advance in quota tions was materially assisted by the covering qf shorts in all the principal- stocks. As a mark ot the improved tone of the transactions there was considerable trading in the stocks which have been neglected for a long time, and these alone shared In the improvement. The advances were very uniform, and almost all the leading shares rnade material final gains. The opening was made at advances over Sat urday's closing figure of from U to Muer cent, and was succeeded by an active and' iroog market, tue only exception Deing ongar Trust, which declined 1 per cent in the first few minutes. The early dealings were also marked by a sharp upward spurt in Oregon Transcontinental from 82$ to 31i, bnt this was all lost with something In addition before the close, and rumors M Mr." Villard selling nut were circulated. All the active stocks rose materially in the first hour and Sugar Trust re covered Its entire loss and afterward took the lead in the advance, scoring a handsome final gain. The market quieted down somewhat after 1 o'clock, bnt the upward movement was continued, bnt the trading became devoid of feature beyond the sudden rise In Manhattan from 92 to 95 on what appeared to be Inside buying. Sugar showed some weakness toward delivery hour, but rallied again later, while tbe general list gave evidence of some realizing iorthe last hour. The market, however, closed quiet and steady at about the best prices of the day. Tbe entire list is .higher to-night.

"1 would rather die than undergo another ex perience such as I have for the past four years Tbe catarrhal poison in my system caused me to be continually taking cold, and with every cold tbe pains in ray head became more in tense. Although I was able to get rid of some of the poisonous matter by hawking and spit ting out what dropped down into my throat, and had some nasal discharge, yet the secre tion kept piling up in my head much faster than I was able to expel it, until a severe inflam mation and ulceration set in. My eyes became so inflamed and weak that I was obliged to wear spectacles for one year and a bait. My nose became greatly swollen and puffed out and tbe disease ulcerated deeper and deeper until fire bones dropped ont ot my nose, some of them measuring one Inch and a half in length. Also, a large bone dropped out of the roof of my mouth. Although my appetite was good, vet I gradually lost flesh until I only weighed 73 pounds. I treated with several physicians, but found no relief, for I could neither get any peace by day or rest by night. I finally became very deaf, and as my condi tion was continually crowing worse leave np all hope, until one day I happened to read in the papers testimonials from patients who had been cured of catarrh at the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, at 323 Penn avenue, and as these patients' fnll name and residence was given, I thought that perhaps there was yet some doctor who did really cure catarrh. I called at tbe Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, and was told by tbe physicians that although tbey could not restore tbe lost parts occasioned by the bones dropping out, they could yet remove every trace of the catarrhal poison from my system, and thus save me from consumption for my throat had become very sore and ulcer ated, and I was afraid I would die with con sumption, as soma of my friends bad done. I therefore placed myself under their treatment and tbey have kept their word, fori have been entirely cured by their constitutional blood medicines, and, strange as it .may seem, they never gave me any local treatments at alL This leads me to think that catarrh has its origin in tbe blood. My bearing has been re stored. I have regained my flesh, and feel well and strong. I reside on Penn avenue, this city. Just opposite St. Mary's Cemetery, and shall be pleased to tell anyone further of my terrible suffering and wonderful cure. "MRS. ANNIE WHITE."
